"My body seems stronger, yet I also feel trapped in this physical shell. What changes have occurred in my genes?!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the mutated genes in his body were too weak, which led to their alteration and evolution, and even the possibility of transformation.

But he was also grateful that he had weak genes in his body.

Because of his weak genes, his body was able to be successfully invaded when it encountered powerful, invasive genes, rather than the genes in his body collapsing and being destroyed due to mutual resistance.

Moreover, this gene made his body extremely strong, and even increased his ability to resist toxins.

As a frail scholar, Zhang Xuezhou rarely claimed to be 'strong'.

He even felt that he would never be as strong as someone at the same cultivation level in his entire life.

But right now, he's so strong that he feels he could kill a bull with one punch.

Not only did his strength increase, but the toughness of his skin also became extremely strong, to the point that Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he were wearing a layer of armor.

This is why Zhang Xuezhou felt trapped.

His skin was incredibly resilient, but his bones hadn't undergone any fundamental changes, resulting in insufficient internal support.

At this moment, he was like a martial arts master from a novel who only practiced external skills and not internal ones, a peculiarity that Zhang Xuezhou had not expected.

He had just swallowed a potent Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill made from Presenel's inner core.

Looking at the other two potent Spirit-Forging Pill of the same quality, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but swallow slightly.

He could never have imagined that inner elixirs from the same source could have such a huge difference.

This even reminded him of Presenel's exoskeleton-like body.

"It seems that no one has genes like those of moths or worms. Even small-sized beasts rarely have special genes. This is a temporary change that can only be produced by injecting special blood serums, and it can only be consolidated by having a second generation. Like Luo Gaogao, mine is very likely a temporary change..."

Changes in the body's genes are a mixed blessing.

The positive change was that his body became stronger and more robust, while the negative change was that Zhang Xuezhou lost his genetic control and did not know whether he still possessed the heron gene or whether he could switch back to the heron gene.

Of course, his heron genes aren't exactly good genes either.

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to assess his own situation, so he temporarily refrained from further research.

His primary concern right now is guiding his Law Power to unleash Divine Ability abilities, which in turn guides his Divine Ability Law Power to undergo a qualitative change, thereby forcibly opening up many major acupoints throughout his body.

When one cultivates to the Divine Ability Realm, most of the acupoints have been opened, leaving only the 'earth acupoint area' where one's feet touch the ground and the ' Heavenly Court ' area on the top of one's head.

According to the standards of spiritual practice, he should have opened up three hundred major acupoints by now, with only these two remaining, involving the opening of sixty major acupoints.

The powerful Law Power generated by the potent Spirit-Forging Pill kept erupting and impacting, forcing Zhang Xuezhou to continue taking more Spirit-Forging Pill.

The effects of the medicine are strictly graded; ten Origin-Nurturing Pill are not as effective as one Spirit-Forging Pill.

Similarly, ten Spirit-Forging Pill are not as valuable as one Creation Pill.

Zhang Xuezhou swallowed a total of eight Spirit-Forging Pill of three types, and relied on the Detoxification Technique derived from the Detoxification Divine Ability to reduce the side effects of the pill poison, but he still felt that his body was always a little bit lacking.

He would likely need to consume Spirit-Forging Pill as a staple food to unleash a massive amount of Law Power capable of breaking through existing constraints, but Zhang Xuezhou was unsure if he could withstand the Spirit-Forging Pill.

Poisoning the body is not the scary part; what is scary is that taking an excessive amount of Spirit-Forging Pill can cause Zhang Xuezhou to fall into hallucinations and thus lose control of his body.

"Keep your mind calm, keep your mind calm!"

Zhang Xuezhou grabbed four more potent Spirit-Forging Pill made from the inner cores of moths, plus one more potent Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill made from the inner core of Presenel. He looked at them for a few seconds, then forced them down his throat.

Without consuming a larger dose of the Spirit-Forging Pill, it is difficult to guide one's magical power to break through to the Law Power Divine Ability Realm; consuming it may also trigger hallucinations.

Zhang Xuezhou also decided to take a gamble and see if he could pull through.

"Presumptuous!"

A terrible sound accompanied by an imposing posture appeared as Luo Kedi stood more than ten meters away from Zhang Xuezhou, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel uneasy.

He remembered that there was a pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes standing more than ten meters away, but now it had become Luo Kedi, which clearly meant that Zhang Xuezhou was hallucinating.

What's worse is that he was only in a semi-conscious state at the time, and being in a hallucination was like being in a dream. Even though he knew it was fake, he would still cooperate.

The recent events at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum have clearly had a negative impact on Zhang Xuezhou, causing him to fall into this kind of illusion.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at his body and saw that it was covered in wounds, with countless ants crawling back and forth on the wounds, tearing at his flesh. He could no longer see the state of his internal Law Power.

"Damn it, I've finally exceeded my physical limits!"

Zhang Xuezhou had difficulty controlling his body movements and could only watch himself crawling on the ground groaning, while enduring Luo Kedi's angry rebukes.

For now, all he could do was wait for the illusion to dissipate over time, leaving the breakthrough to the automatic operation of his body.

"I wonder if there are any cultivators who have reached the Divine Ability Realm while lying down!"

If he could find a similar reference point, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would feel a little more at ease, as the current situation was indeed making him anxious and uneasy.

Seeing himself lying on the ground, groaning and begging for mercy without any backbone, Zhang Xuezhou was helpless.

Although he knew it was wrong for him to be so spineless, he couldn't control the direction of this dreamlike hallucination.

"The lowest point a person can reach when they're hallucinating!"

He finally muttered a complaint, then, in a daze, he begged for mercy while in a hallucination.

"Hey!"

As soon as a sliver of light appeared in the sky, Zhang Xuezhou saw a giant foot stomp down, crushing to death the many soldiers who had been arrogantly directing their troops to tear Zhang Xuezhou to pieces.

When the other giant foot stomped down, Luo Kedi was crushed into blue smoke amidst shouts.

"Snap out of it!"

When Ren Yisheng's voice rang out, Zhang Xuezhou almost felt as if he were hallucinating again.

But when the pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared before him, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if everything had returned to reality.

He looked at his body and saw that the poisonous sores on his body were disappearing and growing back, constantly vying for control of the poison damage to his body, and also constantly leading the anti-poison technique to a deeper level.

His skin faded from bluish-black to cyan, and his skin membrane emitted an eerie cyan light.

A faint purple glow emanated from the Law Power that continuously washed over his body.

"He entered the Divine Ability Realm while lying down!"

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't sure if he was the first cultivator to unknowingly enter the Divine Ability Realm, but he certainly succeeded.

He took a gamble and won.

Aside from the fact that kneeling and kowtowing in front of the pillar was a bit embarrassing, there were no major consequences.

The hallucinations he had experienced only subsided rapidly after Ren Yisheng arrived.

"Town!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed at his body, and the roaring Law Power within him quickly changed from deep blue to light purple.

By this time, his cultivation had officially entered the Divine Ability.

Just as Ren Yisheng's Mental Strengthening Chapter reached its dead end in Chapter Seven, Zhang Xuezhou was also currently at a standstill.

However, Zhang Xuezhou does not believe that he will never reach the Sole Self Realm and True Self Realm.

If no one has walked this path before, then he, like the founders of various schools of thought, will forge his own.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou is not lacking in companions.

More importantly, there are many unexplored places in this world, and even if it means forcing himself in with resources, Zhang Xuezhou felt he had to make it there.

As for now, his strength has steadily reached a high level, enough to secure him a place in this group.

"Bang!"

A slight sound came, Zhang Xuezhou was startled, thinking that something was seriously wrong with his body. He then saw Ren Yisheng slowly squat down with his hunched back, squatting down next to Zhang Xuezhou was still almost kneeling.

"It's gunfire!"

When Ren Yisheng Yisheng's question came through, Zhang Xuezhou realized that someone had fired shots in the Luofu Palace area.
