Chapter 55 The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind.
As soon as the apprenticeship ceremony ended, all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect present surrounded Zhuge Yan.
"Junior Brother Yan, what exactly happened to you that day?"
"Yes, it really startled us."
"We originally wanted to follow Master to see our new genius junior brother from the San Yi Sect, but as soon as the door opened, wow~"
"You failed to construct the reverse life technique back then? That shouldn't be the case. The way you are now, isn't that exactly what it looks like to initiate the reverse life technique?"
"Yeah, by the way, junior brother, why do you keep driving the Reverse Life mode all the time? Aren't you tired?"
"I know, Junior Brother Yan must want to emulate our master! Tsk tsk, quite ambitious indeed. Does he want to become the second 'Great Ying Immortal' after Master?"
……
Hearing the questions from his fellow disciples, Zhuge Yan couldn't help but feel a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Fellow senior brothers, with you all swarming around asking questions like this, whose question should I answer first?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
"Exactly, look at you guys, so unsophisticated! Junior Brother Yan, ignore them, let's have a proper chat first."
"Go away, go play somewhere else. Junior Brother Yan, answer my question first: what exactly is your situation right now?"
Seeing that the crowd was about to start arguing again, Zhuge Yan quickly stepped in and spoke up to explain:
"The first question is, the reason I became like that that day was not because of the failure of the first attempt."
In fact, I successfully mastered the Threefold Reversal of Life in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
A stick of incense...
Although they had been speculating about it, they were still deeply shocked when they actually heard the truth from Zhuge Yan.
Thinking back to when they first started, it took each of them a year and a half, or even several years, to barely complete the first level of cultivation.
Even Lu Jin, the sect's recognized genius, took a full six months!
But Zhuge Yan only used the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
There's simply no way to compare them!
No one doubts the truth of Zhuge Yan's words, because his current appearance is the best proof.
"abnormal……"
Finally, a small murmur broke the deathly silence.
"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! Back in the day, it took me a full two years to master even the first level!"
"For three years, I haven't been able to face anyone..."
"So, after three and a half years, can I just find a block of tofu and kill myself?"
……
Zhuge Yan smiled slightly, not minding at all, and continued:
"As for why I became like that, it's because the technique I originally cultivated clashed with the Reverse Life Triple Realm."
"Spells? The Martial Marquis's Mysterious Gate? That shouldn't be the case. Junior Brother Yun is from the Martial Marquis's Sect just like you, and I didn't see him encounter any accidents when he was cultivating the Reverse Life Triple Realm."
"It's not the Wuhou Qimen Dunjia from our home, it's something else."
Zhuge Yan shook his head.
He didn't elaborate on what it was.
"I see……"
A knowing look crossed everyone's faces.
If that's the case, then everything before makes sense.
"I've heard Junior Brother Yun say that Junior Brother Yan is one of the top geniuses among the younger generation of your Wuhou Sect. In just a few years, you have mastered all the spells of the four plates of Wuhou Qimen: Heaven, Earth, Man, and God."
I never imagined that you were not only so accomplished in the field of Qimen Dunjia, but also practicing other arts at the same time.
Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy...
"Isn't that right? We're already too busy cultivating just one level of Reverse Life to care about anything else, let alone dare to be distracted by learning anything else?"
"The difference between geniuses and ordinary people lies here. What we cultivate for several years, Junior Brother Yan only needs to burn an incense stick to achieve."
Considering all this, it's perfectly reasonable for him to spend his time learning other techniques.
The atmosphere was getting increasingly tense.
Seeing that the way his senior brothers were looking at him was getting weirder and weirder, Zhuge Yan quickly gave an awkward smile.
Upon seeing Zhuge Yun standing to the side, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah Yun! Didn't you say you needed to see me this morning?"
"what?"
A look of confusion flashed in Zhuge Yun's eyes.
When did this happen? Why don't I remember it at all?
Zhuge Yan ignored the bewildered Zhuge Yun, rushed out of the crowd, grabbed Zhuge Yun, and disappeared from the square.
Only after returning to their room did Zhuge Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Yan, when was it yesterday...?"
Before Zhuge Yun could ask a question, Zhuge Yan interrupted him.
"Hmm, you didn't say."
"Then what you just did...?"
"Wasn't that just to get away? To be honest, I really can't get used to this kind of atmosphere."
"What's the big deal? Everyone's praising you, aren't they?"
"You're still young, there are some things you don't understand yet."
Sometimes standing out too much is not a good thing. Remember, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind.
Although I believe that my fellow disciples in the Sanyi Sect would not do anything to harm me.
"But do you believe they felt nothing about me achieving the Reverse Rebirth Triple Level in just one incense stick's time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yun immediately fell silent.
"Let's not talk about others, let's talk about you, Ayun. Don't you feel anything at all?"
Zhuge Yun remained silent, because he knew that to say he felt nothing at all would be blatant lying.
"Brother Yan, I know that your talent far surpasses that of us ordinary people."
While you were in the clan, you mastered all four realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God in just five years.
Now that you've arrived at the Trinity Gate, you've also displayed an unparalleled talent, leaving us far behind.
As he spoke, Zhuge Yun slowly raised his head.
"It would be impossible for me not to feel a little jealousy."
But I can assure you, I never intended to harm you, Brother Yan!
"Of course I know."
Zhuge Yan smiled and nodded.
"Otherwise, how could I dare to sleep in the same room with you at night?"
"But Ah Yun, although we are family, you need to understand one thing: not everyone is as simple-minded as you."
"But……"
Zhuge Yun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something in rebuttal.
"Okay, let's leave this topic here. Anyway, thank you for rescuing me."
From now on, my brother and I will both be cultivating in this Sanyi Sect. When it comes to understanding the Threefold Reversal of Life, I am definitely not as good as you.
But if you wish to inquire about the family's inherited spells, you are welcome to come to me anytime.
"Aww..."
Just as Zhuge Yun finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"I knew you two were hiding here."
Zhuge Yan and Zhuge Yun turned their heads and saw Lu Jin smiling and leaning against the window watching them from outside the door.
