Yin and Yang in Balance, Motion and Stillness Complementing Each Other

If Zuo Luo's mental energy in his brain was like waves, then Zhang Xuezhou's mental energy was like a flame.

This stems from the energies of different cultivators, which are difficult to integrate, ultimately resulting in only collisions and impacts.

In just a short moment, Zhang Xuezhou's brain was completely ignited, filled with constant collisions of mental energy.

This is like different types of blood being injected into the body, constantly eroding every part of it.

Time can pass in an instant, yet it can also feel incredibly long.

Zhang Xuezhou was suffering terribly, while the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, who had been repeatedly severely injured, chose to stop and reunited with Zhang Xuezhou once again.

The effects of the Nine Treasures Wine, which were previously enjoyed exclusively, are now shared, and the X864 potion is also being gathered together to begin promoting Zhang Xuezhou's overall abilities.

"Inject a dose of the Heavenly God General's Potion!"

A tearing pain surged through Zhang Xuezhou's mind; he felt as if his body had been twisted and deformed.

He was just a little short of time.

In his schemes against Zuo Luo, Zhang Xuezhou also bore the full consequences.

Zuo Luo's control failed, resulting in severe physical damage. As Zhang Xuezhou healed his injuries, he also suffered the effects of the residual effects of Zuo Luo's failed control.

Before he could even prepare himself properly, the wounds inflicted by Pei Jing had not yet fully healed, and Zuo Luo's schemes had already spiraled out of control.

If he could make a hole in his head, Zhang Xuezhou believed his brain matter would spurt out ten feet high, like blood flowing from a severed artery.

Countless memories keep resurfacing, including both deeply etched memories and things that were once forgotten.

Like oil being poured over a raging fire, Zhang Xuezhou went from being resolute to wavering in his resolve.

Memory is undoubtedly the most important part of his life right now. Without memory, he will forget his family, forget what he has learned, have difficulty controlling his body, and lose his value in getting involved in high-level matters.

If he becomes an idiot, everything is over for him.

Zuo Luo's spiritual energy would bring about such a negative effect, which even forced the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to reunite with Zhang Xuezhou as soon as possible.

"If anyone's going to be nerfed, it should be that old monster first, why should I be nerfed!"

Fear gripped Zhang Xuezhou's heart, yet he also longed for the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to shield him from the bullet.

But apart from the noisy and painful cries of the demonic black duck, he never heard the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon chanting "immortality" again.

"Inject another dose of the Heavenly God General Potion!"

When he felt fear, Zhang Xuezhou felt that only intense pain could make him ignore this feeling of vulnerability.

Besides rapidly stimulating the regeneration of mental power in his brain to replenish his mental energy, Zhang Xuezhou focused more on the physical pain caused by injecting the Heavenly God General Medicine.

Compared to the fear of memory loss, the pain of a torn brain is actually simpler.

"Mental Strengthening Chapter Seven!"

The intense effects of the drug hit him hard, and Zhang Xuezhou found himself on his only escape route.

The sun, swaying precariously, floated across the sky, radiating intermittent, flickering rays of light.

"East!"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was about to perish due to the troubles caused by Zuo Luo, he heard a voice in his sea of consciousness. A gray shadow emerged from where the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had been, and in an instant it transformed into a towering giant with a human body and a snake tail.

"South!"

Another voice rang out, and a shadow transformed into a four-armed, blue-faced, fanged giant who roared forth.

"West!"

Another voice rang out, and a female, grotesque giant with wings on her back silently appeared, her face contorted with endless pain.

"North!"

The last voice rang out, and a giant with the appearance of a normal human appeared. But as soon as the giant turned its head, a crying face and a smiling face switched back and forth like a carousel.

Like towering giants, Zhang Xuezhou felt that after the four giants appeared, Zuo Luo's spiritual energy could no longer touch him, whether in the sky or on the ground. Even the intense stinging pain brought by the Heavenly God General's potion left Zhang Xuezhou.

He previously lacked time to repair brain damage and time to advance the Mental Strengthening Chapter, which led to a series of problems, forcing him to rely on high doses of medication to fight the disease.

At that moment, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if time had turned back.

He only needed to glance at it to know that this was a method left by the Emperor in his body.

Regardless of whether the Emperor was protecting him or had other ulterior motives, at this moment, the 'East, West, South, North' giants he had transformed into were supporting him, maintaining his normal sanity and control.

Zhang Xuezhou's mental world seemed to have transformed into a world with a round sky and a square earth. The sky in his mental world was like a canopy, round in shape, and the earth was like a chessboard, square in shape.

"Balance of Yin and Yang, complementarity of movement and stillness!"

Two words flashed through Zhang Xuezhou's mind.

This does not originate from Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, which was jointly deduced by Ren Anran and Ren Yisheng, but rather from the philosophy of the Yin-Yang School.

While continuously advancing the Mental Strengthening Chapter, he clearly did not follow the steps provided by Ren Anran and Ren Yisheng step by step. Instead, a sudden feeling caused a change in his mind, and he made relevant adjustments.

The sun, which he had transformed into, moved to the east, while a bright moon began to appear in the west.

The image of sunrise and sunset first appeared in his mind, accompanied by its constant operation.

For Zhang Xuezhou, the sun in his mental state represents suppression, and the moon represents resisting suppression and relieving negative states; it's a simple combination of offense and defense.

The rising and setting of the sun and moon allows both effects to occur simultaneously.

This is a very strange state of both offense and defense, yet it is presented perfectly.

His spirit was constantly being enhanced and strengthened, the damage to his brain was being repaired, and even the alien spiritual energy that was climbing the giant's body in the east, south, west and north like a flood of ants was gradually receding.

Through the sharp clash of spears, Zhang Xuezhou not only improved the quality of his spears, but he also gained a shield for effective protection.

This will obviously greatly extend his reaction time and provide him with the energy to advance the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

"Things are different now!"

Despite constantly relying on Ren Yisheng and Ren Anran, Zhang Xuezhou ultimately ended up on different paths.

Perhaps on the journey of continuous progress, it is difficult for anyone to maintain a consistent pace or achieve the exact same result.

Ren Yisheng's near-death breakthrough, Zhang Xuezhou's balance of Yin and Yang, or perhaps others attempting to break through to Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter —the paths taken in these endeavors are unlikely to be consistent or unified.

This will lead to different approaches to cultivation for everyone, and they will all forge their own paths.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng can still learn from each other in terms of Mental Strengthening, but it will be difficult to replicate or copy them.

In the later stages of the Kunpeng Combat Technique, even if Ren Yisheng used himself as a reference and verified it, and collaborated with many researchers, it would be extremely difficult to create a tailor-made system for him.

"The Seventh Sequence, or perhaps the Eighth Sequence?"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the different stages between the two for a moment, and felt that he, in the Third Sequence, was quite far from that stage.

However, the Mental Strengthening Chapter brought a very strong driving effect, which undoubtedly allowed them to cross sequences to some extent.

For example, if Ren Yisheng's Sixth Sequence becomes a pseudo Seventh Sequence, and now possesses the characteristics of Eighth Sequence, Zhang Xuezhou will also suffer from this influence.

"Rise!"

An endless stream of spiritual energy surged within his mind, and the colors of the sun and moon that Zhang Xuezhou had transformed into became increasingly bright.

When a point of unusual golden brilliance appeared, it was as if the eyes of a painting had been brought to life. Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that the moment he stepped into the seventh chapter of the Mental Strengthening Chapter was approaching.

Once he completes the spiritual transformation of the seventh chapter, he will be able to forcefully suppress it and expel the remaining spiritual energy of Zuo Luo from his brain.

He was focused on the spiritual energy that was almost corroding half of the bodies of the four giants in the east, south, west, and north. Just as he was calculating the time for the transformation and the time for the confrontation, he saw Zuo Luo's spiritual energy calm down and then begin to retreat slowly.

"How could we possibly let you get away so easily!"

Zhang Xuezhou was severely affected by Zuo Luo's spiritual energy. If it weren't for the Emperor acting as a benefactor to help him, he would have suffered a great loss this time due to his haste.

He realized he couldn't allow Zuo Luo's spiritual energy to easily leave and return to his body.
