Clutching at Buddha's Feet at the Last Minute
Zhang Xuezhou has been running wildly on the path of cultivation for many years.
However, aside from the Drowsiness Technique and Technique Within the Clouds that allow him to use Demon Power, he actually only knows twelve active Technique Method. These include less commonly used, unorthodox spells such as the Yin Entity Tracking Technique and the Feng Shui Site Locating Technique, as well as the Yellow Sand Entangling Technique, Sand Transformation Technique, Star Reversal Tracking Technique, and the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Technique that he recently obtained from Dong Zhongshu.
As a cultivator who doesn't engage in direct combat, Zhang Xuezhou rarely uses active Technique Method.
It wasn't that Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to practice various Technique Method, but rather that there weren't many Technique Method suitable for the Yin Yang Nine Heavens Sect. Their sect's curriculum only included alchemy and formations, and learning from others was a difficult task.
Without sufficient binding, don't expect to learn any skills for free.
The ordinary Technique Method that can be learned are of little use and will only waste time due to the continuous accumulation of ineffective spells.
Even Dong Zhongshu, who was skilled in many Technique Method, did not teach Zhang Xuezhou Technique Method indiscriminately. He would only teach Zhang Xuezhou important techniques when he was certain that Zhang Xuezhou had a necessary need for them.
The reasons for this are not only due to sectarianism; choosing one's Divine Ability when entering the Divine Ability Realm can also easily mislead others.
For example, the Golden Toad Dharma King was defeated by demonic arts. Although his cultivation level was higher, he was no match for powerful demons like the Tiger Strength Demon King in actual combat. This is a shortcoming caused by the choice of techniques.
The Yin Entity Tracking Technique was Technique Method that Zhang Xuezhou learned haphazardly without any guidance.
Zhang Xuezhou could only be thankful that his body hadn't experienced any unusual sensations, which prevented his Divine Ability powers from being reduced to such a basic Technique Method.
He continued casting spells, eventually beginning to activate his 108,000 acupoints, which contained passive abilities.
Although Zhang Xuezhou would prefer his Divine Ability powers to be applied to active Technique Method, he would still be willing to invest in guiding 108,000 acupoint techniques.
He learned nine evasion techniques from the Emperor and Empress, and also obtained physical body techniques from the Daoist Ran Deng, for a total of ten evasion techniques, each with its own unique uses.
Overall, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Divine Ability guidance was worthwhile in terms of avoidance techniques, and he could accept repeating the Grain Avoidance even if it meant doing it again.
The raging magical Law Power within him surged like water released from a dam, and within a short time, it began to actively activate evasion techniques.
From the Grain Avoidance Technique to the Water Avoidance Technique, then the Fire Avoidance Technique, the Lightning Avoidance Technique, and so on, until finally guiding the physical body to avoid danger.
"This is bad!"
After a series of tests, Zhang Xuezhou unleashed all the demonic arts he had learned, except for the Drowsiness Technique and the Technique Within the Clouds.
The most intense sensation was from the Supreme Purity True Technique, while the others were only felt to varying degrees.
But none of these techniques can guide Divine Ability.
While choosing Divine Ability abilities is important, the most crucial issue when exploring the path to higher realms is breaking through those realms.
If one cannot even condense Divine Ability techniques, then there is no need to Law Power to enter the Divine Ability Realm.
Zhang Xuezhou down his spine, realizing that there were some problems with his attainment of the Divine Ability Realm.
Cultivators are one in ten thousand, while those at the Divine Ability Realm are one in a thousand.
Too many people had fallen before the Divine Ability Realm, and a vague sense of foreboding welled up in Zhang Xuezhou's heart, causing him to mutter to himself.
He couldn't guide the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity, but Zhang Xuezhou knew how to manipulate fortune.
If he falls just short of the required level of understanding, he can still find a sliver of possibility in his techniques.
"Hey, Sister Zhou, could you use the flying vehicle to take me to the Old Age Mansion?"
Yes, now!
"Speediest!"
"Urgent!"
After several attempts, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. His body seemed to be showing some signs of a breakthrough, but he couldn't guide it.
If it weren't for the immense impact of the fusion of Yin and Yang techniques, which resulted in his extremely strong subsequent power in his attempt to break through to the next realm, Zhang Xuezhou could have already declared failure.
At this moment, he was experiencing constant stabbing pain in his acupoints. If he failed at the last minute, he would enter a recovery phase, which could take anywhere from three months to half a year or even several years to recover. In severe cases, if he failed to break through to a higher realm, it would be difficult to start over.
Considering the consequences, Zhang Xuezhou endured the physical pain and quickly made a call.
"The Changkong Household has deployed aircraft in North Rehe, preparing to use the Heron Blood Potion to heal you once it arrives. Leave the research institute now; their aircraft have already arrived!"
Zhou Yueyan is extremely efficient.
She did not requisition aircraft from Western Capital City, but instead chose to requisition them from the North Rehe region.
After a brief confirmation, Changkong Household's aircraft were already roaring outside the B13 research institute.
"Hey, Brother Zhang!"
Still dazed from breaking through to higher realms, Song Sijia mumbled something. Then she saw Zhang Xuezhou, radiating a deep blue light, quickly board the aircraft carrying a suitcase.
She shook her head vigorously and then widened her eyes.
Song Sijia stretched out her palm.
The only technique she had learned was the "Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity" manual. A faint glow of Law Power appeared in her palm, a light as faint as a firefly, which Song Sijia had previously only found quite interesting.
But just thinking about the terrifying magical Law Power Zhang Xuezhou possessed, Song Sijia felt that the difference between them was as vast as a drop of water and a river.
"Brother Zhang said I'm now at one-third of his level, but that's nowhere near one-third, it's not even one in three thousand!"
If calculated based on the levels of the Realm Technique, Zhang Xuezhou's calculation method is not wrong. Song Sijia belongs to the second level, while Zhang Xuezhou belongs to the sixth level, which means that she has completed one-third of Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation progress.
However, when compared in terms of actual techniques, the difference is enormous.
"You even said I'm a genius beauty who cultivates incredibly fast, you big liar! It would take me ages to reach your level!"
Song Sijia stomped her feet angrily.
Only after her Law Power dissipated and she returned to her daily practice of Gene Fighting Technique did she realize that she had fired one more Dragon Might Combat Technique than before.
This is clearly not due to advancements in her genetic sequence or a significant increase in her Gene Fighting Technique.
If one had to make a connection, Song Sijia could only categorize it as the realm Gene Fighting Technique that Zhang Xuezhou taught her.
"Hey, Brother Ren, this is Xiao Jia... You got beaten up and can only lie in the X432 medical pod, you don't want to think about anything... Oh, I just saw Brother Zhang covered in blue light and get into the spacecraft, then went to Western Capital City. I wanted to ask if you know anything about what happened?"
Song Sijia wanted to ask about the Realm Gene Fighting Technique, but Ren Wuyang showed no interest at the moment, and his sickly voice made Song Sijia feel that he seemed to be suffering endless torment.
She had no choice but to relay some relevant information to Ren Wuyang, which finally restored Ren Wuyang energy and spirits.
"Song Xiaomei, I'm telling you, 'I'll tell you next time!'"
Ren Wuyang quickly gave a guarantee and then hung up the call.
Hearing the dial tone of the call being disconnected, Song Sijia opened her mouth, but found Ren Wuyang's words difficult to understand.
But one thing she was absolutely certain of was that Ren Wuyang paid far more attention to Zhang Xuezhou than to her, and even inside a high-end medical device like the X432, he was very likely to come out and check on things.
"This seems to be something serious?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Song Sijia finally decided that she could also go back to Western Capital City to see what was going on and what Zhang Xuezhou was up to.
