It Was Enough for Others to Be Capable

"There was a shipwreck!"

Zhang Manqian wasn't in good condition, Ren Anran wasn't in good condition either.

Zhang Xuezhou had never inquired about the past before, since it was all over and there was no point in asking.

While passing the time on the Airbus, Ren Anran became willing to recount her experiences, and Zhang Xuezhou learned about everyone's journey back from Tours by black ship across the sea.

Unlike the floodwaters in the Gobala Caves, the raging seawater wasn't mixed with various rock fragments, but it was still an excruciating experience for Ren Anran and the others, mostly due to Zhang Xuezhou's lack of consciousness.

Taking care of oneself is difficult enough; dragging someone else along to survive would undoubtedly make it even more challenging.

Even Wang Haoran, who had the strongest strength in the sequence, couldn't hold on.

"What exactly is your body made of?" Ren Anran asked with interest. "Don't you need to breathe when you sleep?"

"It's just that its physiological activity is very low," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"We all swallowed a lot of seawater, but you're acting like nothing happened," Ren Anran complained.

"If you're willing to learn, I also have a water-avoidance technique here that can prevent water erosion and give your body the ability to breathe through your skin. If you actively use it, you can even completely isolate yourself from water," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"The Water-Avoiding Technique? Is it also a technique with 108,000 acupoints?" Ren Anran asked in a low voice.

"There are nine in total... I added one more about two weeks ago, making it ten," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you're interested..."

"I'm not interested!"

One poison-repelling technique was already giving Ren Anran a headache. If he were to add nine more techniques with a total of 108,000 acupoints, Ren Anran felt he couldn't handle it and it would inevitably confuse his cultivation.

Compared to their single-core brains, Zhang Xuezhou's brain is undoubtedly multi-core.

Only a multi-core brain like Zhang Xuezhou's could process this information in such an orderly manner.

Ren Anran's greatest wish regarding the 108,000 acupoints was simply to be able to take the pills refined by Zhang Xuezhou normally. She had no other thoughts and never considered using this technique for anything extra.

As she listened to Zhang Xuezhou's introduction, she felt that the potential that the human body could develop far exceeded her imagination.

"If we could find a way to infuse spiritual energy into these 108,000 acupoints, wouldn't that allow us to create the strongest spiritual source in the human body!"

Listening to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation of the ultimate human potential brought about by the 108,000 acupoints, Ren Anran couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Mental ability infusion... nobody's researching that," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Moreover, mental power resides in the mind; infusing it into the whole body would be extremely difficult!"

"You're full of energy, perhaps you could give it a try," Ren Anran said with a smile. "Who knows, you might even be able to unlock the limits of the Mental Strengthening Chapter!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a dry laugh.

His Mental Strengthening is entirely built upon resources and by constantly piling on borrowed ideas, making it quite difficult for him to innovate.

But Ren Anran's suggestion did indeed give Zhang Xuezhou pause for thought.

There are very few practitioners in the world who can cultivate 108,000 acupoints like the Buddha's disciple, but there are also very few who dare to cultivate ten different types of 108,000 acupoint techniques like him.

Zhang Xuezhou may not be considered a master of this complex technique at present, but he is definitely a highly skilled practitioner who employs multiple approaches simultaneously.

It would be difficult for others to advance an additional 108,000 techniques, but Zhang Xuezhou certainly possesses the potential to do so.

The direction Ren Anran mentioned is definitely worth trying.

He noted down the suggestions, described the difficulties of the 108,000 acupoints, and the extraordinary opportunities needed to integrate them into one.

"We might need to be lucky enough," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"These conditions are too difficult!"

After listening to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation, Ren Anran felt that the 108,000 techniques were not for ordinary people to cultivate, but rather suitable for some obsessive geniuses.

Even these geniuses need exceptional luck to achieve late-blooming success.

"What if it comes true?" Zhang Xuezhou said, "After all, there really are techniques in the world that can bring good luck, just like the 'Grave Classic' I told you about before!"

He chatted with Ren Anran about 108,000 techniques, and then moved on to the section on movement techniques.

Zhang Xuezhou's discussions with Ren Anran were not only about receiving Ren Anran's keen insight into cultivation, but were also somewhat equivalent to communicating with the Emperor.

As long as Ren Anran is familiar enough with his cultivation, Ren Anran will ask the Emperor some difficult questions on Zhang Xuezhou's behalf.

This won't completely solve Zhang Xuezhou's problem, but it will be much better than Zhang Xuezhou being unable to communicate with the Emperor.

Moreover, even if Zhang Xuezhou returned to the Kunlun Sacred Land, it would not be a simple matter for him to ask the Emperor or discuss things with him.

In the Emperor's understanding, the other party would consider Ren Anran's question as a test given by a 'high god,' and would rack their brains to think carefully when responding, which is far better than Zhang Xuezhou asking questions as a junior.

He and Ren Anran chatted in hushed tones, occasionally mentioning how to cultivate and manipulate techniques.

"According to the principles of cultivation through luck, if an emperor possesses the greatest good fortune, why would his dynasty still fall?" Ren Anran asked, finding it hard to understand.

"Perhaps other people are just luckier?"

"But isn't the emperor's fortune the best in the world?"

"This involves cultivation techniques, and it's not just emperors who cultivate these techniques. Regardless of the varying levels of skill among emperors, this is ultimately an auxiliary method of cultivation, not a primary one..."

Ren Anran possesses extraordinary comprehension and understanding of the art.

Among those whose cultivation levels were lower than Zhang Xuezhou's, only Ren Anran and Ning Que in the real world were capable of providing feedback.

In the other world, Zhang Xuezhou has only come into contact with Yi Shuo at the moment.

There are definitely more than just a handful of people like Ren Anran in the world, but they are indeed rare in Zhang Xuezhou's circle. Even though he himself follows the old system and keeps learning, he rarely tries to reverse-engineer the cultivation techniques that his predecessors have summarized and refined.

In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, he has always considered himself a learner, and he also felt that his cultivation was neither high nor low, making it difficult for him to refute the great predecessors who created the doctrines, let alone to forge a new path of cultivation.

As for Ren Anran, the other party had already overturned Ren Yisheng in the Mental Strengthening Chapter and taken a new path, even forcing Ren Yisheng to follow the deduction in reverse.

Just as Ning Que created his own practical freestyle fighting style, Yi Shuo was equally audacious. She not only innovated and quickly learned the basics of the Grain Avoidance Technique, but also broke the weak cultivation method of the Suspended Pot Sect, making it impossible for Zheng Wukong to continue teaching her.

Each of them possesses the ability to innovate.

Zhang Xuezhou actually quite envied this ability.

However, he was also aware of his own strengths and limitations. He could quickly imitate others without much trouble, but it would be extremely difficult to make progress out of thin air.

Zhang Xuezhou may not have the ability in this area, but he does have his ways of solving problems.

Even if he's not good at it, it's fine if someone else is. When someone else innovates, he'll learn from it.

To encourage these outstanding individuals to innovate, Zhang Xuezhou needs to continuously invest in them, enabling them to specialize in a particular field and continuously drive innovation.

Whether it's the art of movement, the myriad techniques of the universe, the art of realms, or general Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou believed that as long as these people had the ability to learn, he had the ability to teach them.

Whether in the real world or another world, Zhang Xuezhou would do the same.

He won't lose much by investing in this project; as long as he can provide feedback, it will help Zhang Xuezhou identify and address his shortcomings in innovation.
