A Visit
"Too late!"
It took Ren Yisheng a full hour and a half for Zhang Xuezhou and the others to drive back to Jishi Medical Center at top speed.
This was almost an hour earlier than the normal arrival time for Zhang Xuezhou and his group.
But their delays were still too long.
After his Divine Sense returned to his body, Ren Yisheng once again felt an icy chill that seemed to freeze his very bones and even his mind. He was even unable to breathe normally with his physical body.
If it weren't for the similar experiences he had after his soul left his body, Ren Yisheng felt he would have had a hard time holding out until Zhang Xuezhou and the others arrived.
Perhaps due to delays, or perhaps due to limitations in the freezing technology, or perhaps due to an extremely long freezing time, Ren Yisheng currently has no feeling in his hands and legs, and even eating is difficult.
The only proof that Ren Yisheng was alive was that he finally started breathing normally again.
"I never imagined I'd become disabled!"
Ren Yisheng lay quietly in the intensive care unit in the isolation observation room, while every now and then, some important figure would come to spy on him.
This is somewhat similar to the situation where Zhang Xuezhou was visited by many high-ranking officials after being struck by Sha Qi.
People say they're just concerned, but they really are just checking on things or enjoying the spectacle.
Through the small glass window of another enclosed room, Ren Yisheng's Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Form watched the people coming and going outside the observation room and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is better than turning into a monkey as you had previously imagined," Zhang Xuezhou comforted him.
"That's all the consolation," Ren Yisheng nodded.
"Aren't you afraid that the changes in your body will cause problems, making it difficult for you to return to your original body?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
"That treatment was very painful, I don't want to go back," Ren Yisheng shook his head repeatedly. "Besides, I've strengthened my connection and perception with my body through the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique, it won't be so easy for me to shake it off!"
Perhaps because Your Excellency is a demon, this Daoist art has many strange aspects.
Zhang Xuezhou has witnessed several people whose Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation through cultivation, and none of them have had the same cultivation process.
Including him, Ren Yisheng, and even the Emperor and the Venerable One, each side has some differences.
"I wonder if Master Dong has found the Spirit Jade, and how his cultivation is progressing?"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered the cultivators he could normally contact, and the only person he could refer to left was Dong Zhongshu.
Perhaps Dong Zhongshu would also provide him with a more complete analysis.
"So now you can't get too far away from your body?"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about his own physical body, which could travel a maximum distance of about 120 miles, and couldn't help but compare it with Ren Yisheng's current situation.
"I don't seem to have that kind of situation!"
Zhang Xuezhou described it, which made Ren Yisheng think about it carefully.
"My current relationship with my body is like the positive and negative poles of a magnet. When we are very close, I can enter and control the body. When we are very far apart, I have difficulty Body Control and even lose control of it. But I seem to have no problem when I am far away from the body!"
"Like this?"
"There may be a distance that has caused the loss of connection, but as long as I return to my body, this sense of connection will be re-established."
It was as if some kind of mark had been placed on his body. Ren Yisheng previously found it difficult to return to his physical body, could now enter it as long as he was close enough.
The more than 200-mile journey from the North Rehe Research Institute to the Jishi Medical Center in the Academy District is perhaps proof of this.
"I now feel that my Dharma body is my true body, while my physical body is more like an external object, like a piece of clothing I wear," Ren Yisheng said. "I can put on clothes, and I can also take them off."
"It feels amazing!"
Zhang Xuezhou in amazement.
Ren Yisheng's Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique eventually turned into a situation similar to ghost possession, with the slight difference being that Ren Yisheng possessed his own body.
His Dharma body is still a Dharma body, and his physical body is still a physical body; the two are connected, but not as seamlessly as one might imagine.
Will my situation have any negative consequences in the future?
Ren Yisheng looked at Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang, who were forced to deal with the situation, then at Zhang Xuezhou, who had moved to another room to avoid the disaster, and then at his own physical body.
Ren Yisheng had to admit that it was a miracle that he was able to wake up, something he himself hadn't anticipated.
Aside from a slightly poor physical condition that may require a long period of recuperation before the probability of walking normally is high, everything else is almost perfect.
However, Ren Yisheng also has to guard against possible changes in the future.
"This is a very serious problem," Zhang Xuezhou said, "But I'm sorry I can't answer it. Perhaps you could wait and see how things develop?"
"You really can't answer that?"
"I haven't even reached the Divine Ability Realm, nor have I ever practiced the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique, how could I possibly answer you!"
"What about Hongku?"
"He can't do it either!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that he truly lacked the ability.
The Venerable One's purpose in developing this technique was most likely for extending lifespan. The technique is indeed excellent, but it also has its flaws, and there are even situations that the Venerable One did not consider.
Even the creator himself didn't understand the situation, so there's no need to say anything more about Zhang Xuezhou.
He was merely a follower of others' ideas, not a master of any Technique Method.
"You should hurry up and cultivate, and strive to enter the Divine Ability Realm as soon as possible. Perhaps then you will be able to help me," Ren Yisheng urged.
"Instead of expecting anything from me, you should cherish the physical body you have now," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "Compared to before, you at least have a physical body now, and you still have acupoints, so you have the conditions to cultivate Realm Technique again. You really should hurry up!"
"My body is completely paralyzed!"
Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou chatted on and on, but the matter of the two urging each other to cultivate ultimately came to nothing.
Zhang Xuezhou knew that the Divine Ability Realm was not something that could be achieved overnight, while Ren Yisheng had the idea but his body couldn't keep up.
The two exchanged a glance and had no choice but to put their thoughts aside.
"That old bastard Luo Tianming has actually come out of the Twilight Years Mansion again!"
"He was the best behaved and most cooperative person in the Twilight Years Mansion, and leaving the Twilight Years Mansion was much easier for him than for the others!"
"I have no connection with him, he's not worth all the trouble he has to go to visit me!"
"Perhaps it's because I'm thinking about your Mental Strengthening Chapter!"
Ren Yisheng was observed indoors for a long time, and all sorts of people kept coming to visit Ren Yisheng.
Most people came to see this medical miracle and wanted to know about Ren Yisheng's physical condition. Some wanted to replicate this method of cryopreservation to treat patients with certain special diseases, while others wanted to find out the secret behind Ren Yisheng's resurrection.
When a group of people arrived, surrounding Luo Tianming, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but frown.
It's not easy to get out of the Twilight Years Mansion. Not to mention the various complicated tests, there are also time restrictions. You can only get out once every three months or even half a year.
Ren Yisheng never expected that Luo Tianming would use the opportunity to let him out for a walk.
Ren Yisheng indeed had no connection with Luo Tianming. On the contrary, based on some hidden clues Ren Yisheng had discovered, it was speculated that Luo Tianming likely had a major conflict with his father.
