Highest Clarity True Technique
"Dongfang Shuo, I'll strangle you, I'll strangle you, I'll strangle you!"
Awakening from his daze, Li Shaojun, still somewhat irrational, tried to strangle Zhang Xuezhou.
Only after Zhang Xuezhou used both fists and feet did Li Shaojun groan and squat down on the ground, clutching his stomach.
"The Mohists's Mechanized City has exploded! Flames are engulfing everything. A powerful cultivator outside, Yuanshi Tianzun, is battling this fire disaster. Perhaps due to the explosion, the bewitching purple light in this secret realm has weakened. Even though we're right under the purple light, we haven't been greatly affected. Those outside our main hall can't get in, can't see or hear anything inside, but we can't get out either. I hope you can find a way to leave here as quickly as possible!"
Zhang Xuezhou quickly and simply explained the current situation, and also pointed to the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable outside who was fighting against the explosion.
"Oh my god!"
Li Shaojun ignored everything else; he only paid attention to the name in Zhang Xuezhou's rambling monologue.
He had been using the guise of a Daoist patriarch, never imagining that someone of equal stature was squatting outside.
Great cultivators of this level are no longer comparable to ordinary people. In their eyes, regardless of whether they are at the Body Transformation Realm, the Divine Ability Realm, the Sole Self Realm, or even ordinary True Self Realm cultivators, they are no different from ants in the eyes of the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable.
The opponent's strength is so ferocious and outrageous, even surpassing the Venerable One, Dao Lord, and other Sacred Land masters.
If you haven't reached the level of Venerable Ones and Dao Lords, you can basically forget about them even glancing down at you.
"Why is Ao Sheng in the air?" Li Shaojun asked.
"He offended the Yuanshi Celestial Lord and was used as a shield against lightning and fire!"
Zhang Xuezhou's response made Li Shaojun break out in a cold sweat.
He thought about it for a moment, then took over the work Zhang Xuezhou was doing and slapped Gongsun Hong repeatedly.
"You can't do anything about it either?" Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Leave the professional work to the professionals," Li Shaojun said. "We haven't reached the Divine Ability Realm, so we can't even use this thing. What can we do?"
Previously, they were already in a state of crisis in the Mohists's Mechanized City. At that time, Li Shaojun couldn't come up with any solutions. He felt that encountering risks again would be no different; what was unlikely to happen would still happen.
Rather than letting him speculate wildly, Li Shaojun felt it would be better to wake Gongsun Hong up and let him continue to shine.
As long as Gongsun Hong regains consciousness, the focus will shift from how to advance 'Jiuyu' to how to restore Gongsun Hong's Law Power.
He mumbled a few sentences, which Zhang Xuezhou found quite reasonable.
"It's a pity we can't help Mr. Gongsun break free from this influence," Zhang Xuezhou sighed. "I wonder what technique could remove this trouble!"
He had encountered many techniques in this world, but none of them could achieve the subtle manipulation and influence of mental combat techniques.
Even with the help of the Bashe Eye, Zhang Xuezhou could only keep himself awake.
He mumbled a few words, which made Li Shaojun murmur them a few times.
"There are some, but very few people can actually learn them," Li Shaojun said.
"I've never seen anything like it," Zhang Xuezhou complained.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Li Shaojun said. "You know the Supreme Purity True Technique, so you should know about the Yuqing True Technique and the Shangqing True Technique!"
What is Yuqing or Shangqing?
Zhang Xuezhou had heard of the Jade Purity True Technique. Dong Zhongshu's Law Power and Qi and Blood qi were in conflict and chaos in the past. He went to the Northern Border to ask Li Guang to use the Jade Purity True Technique to temporarily suppress the chaos in his body.
He hadn't considered other similar related techniques.
"The Jade Purity True Technique can suppress the disorder of internal Law Power and Qi and Blood, guiding it back to normal, while the Upper Purity True Technique can soothe madness, killing intent, and anxiety," Li Shaojun whispered, "The effect is just like holding that jade ruyi!"
"There's no use talking about this now," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "General Li Guang isn't here, how can we rely on him to save the day!"
"What is Li Guang compared to that?" Li Shaojun said, "The three arts of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing are progressively more difficult. His talent only extends to analyzing the Yuqing True Art."
"Isn't this a unique technique of the Northern Border Military Region?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise, "So you know it too?"
"Hmph, what Northern Border Military Region... I don't know how to do that either!"
Li Shaojun grumbled for a while. He had even mocked Li Guang's cultivation aptitude before, but Li Shaojun only reached the Supreme Purity True Technique and was only half-baked in healing and treating illnesses, which was not worth mentioning at all.
"Looks like you're the pot calling the kettle black," Zhang Xuezhou retorted.
"What do you mean by 'the pot calling the kettle black'? I'm pretty good too, okay? This isn't something everyone can learn," Li Shaojun said.
I don't believe it!
"Don't believe me? Try it and see if you can take two hundred steps or ten!"
Just as Zhang Xuezhou was grasping at every opportunity when he was in trouble, Li Shaojun was also desperately clinging to a straw when he was drowning.
If Yuanshi Tianzun knew that the explosion outside was related to them, Li Shaojun felt that everyone's fate would be even worse than that of Ao Sheng, who was used to shield them from lightning.
He recited the Shangqing Zhenshu in a low voice, and also explained the different definitions of terms used by Daoism compared to other schools of thought.
"How about it?"
After reciting a passage of nearly 1,300 words, Li Shaojun stared at Zhang Xuezhou.
"What do you mean, how about it?" Zhang Xuezhou replied.
"It's about how difficult you think this thing is, whether you can learn it, and how well you can master it. If you learn it, you can use it; if you can't, you're just laughing at me for being only a hundred steps ahead!"
"Skills can't be learned just like that!"
"This thing is something you can learn in a day, or you'll never learn in your entire life if you don't!"
"If that's what you're saying, then..."
"So what?"
"Then I'll give it a try!"
The 1,300-word content is not long; even with Li Shaojun's explanation, it's only about 2,000 words.
This is a concise and effective auxiliary technique, and also an extremely obscure and rarely used one.
This technique may never be used in a lifetime, but when it is, it is undoubtedly a good medicine.
This can save not only yourself, but also others.
Zhang Xuezhou possesses a powerful memory, but he is not a genius in the true sense. When faced with a technique, he still needs to study and practice diligently and seek shortcuts; otherwise, he can only scratch the surface and find it difficult to apply.
But Li Shaojun's Shangqing Zhen technique really did run into his strongest area of expertise.
Unlike mental Gene Fighting Technique that utilize gene power, Li Shaojun's Shangqing Zhen technique borrows Law Power.
Although they use different forces, they achieve the same effect of dispelling mental confusion.
For Zhang Xuezhou, this was simply copying homework.
Li Shaojun mentioned that most people find it difficult to learn, partly because of their cognitive abilities, which makes the content of this technique seem obscure and hard to understand.
Moreover, this technique is more suitable for cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm or above. If one does not understand the pressure of a realm, one will not be able to break through such abilities.
Normally, it would be almost impossible for a cultivator like Li Shaojun, whose cultivation level is below the Divine Ability Realm, to learn this technique.
Even Zhang Xuezhou only gained the qualification to learn because he had used the power of realm pressure in advance.
"You try, and if it turns out I'll take your surname... but it can't be any other surname. We can't just change our names like that for the rest of our lives!"
Li Shaojun wanted to use a provocation tactic, but he quickly stopped himself, thus not losing the surname passed down from his ancestors.
In Zhang Xuezhou's right hand, a faint, shimmering green magical Law Power appeared.
When this right hand touched Gongsun Hong, countless tender grasses and leaves rapidly grew on Gongsun Hong's body.
Seeing Gongsun Hong's expression shift from pain to gentleness, Li Shaojun knew perfectly well that the spell had been successfully cast.
