A Blink of the Eyes

Zhang Xuezhou originally intended to ask Zuo Denggao to install some covert surveillance cameras, but he accidentally overheard Zuo Quan talking to himself.

Although it's unclear whether he was lucky or Zuo Quan's luck was waning, the timing of his hearing these words was perfect.

Some of the obscuring fog was swept away, and Zhang Xuezhou quickly understood many things.

"If we can find the Void Stone of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, his immortal power will most likely be broken!"

Zhang Xuezhou would also think about the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon that was entangled in his mind. The other party was like an unkillable cockroach, and no matter what he did, it wouldn't die.

In Zuo Quan's account, the reason why the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon were so tenacious was related to the Void Stone. Zuo Quan even mentioned that when Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon died, the Void Stone would inevitably be left behind in the outside world.

"Talk to Huang and tell him that the sinkhole in the North Rehe might contain something that could elevate him to godhood. Encourage him to search for it; perhaps he too can ascend to godhood like Yu!"

The research team from the Alliance States had thoroughly searched the North Rehe, and Zhang Xuezhou had no chance of doing it again.

At most, he would visit the research centers of the Alliance States to see some important collections; as for searching the land, he left that to Huang.

Zhang Xuezhou had a brief conversation with Zhang Manqian and mentioned that he would place a Wuliang Jade Wall in his room for self-defense.

With this self-defense weapon, the troublemaking and dangerous elements of Zuo Quan and Zuo Luo can be directly eliminated, and Zhang Xuezhou no longer needs to worry about the two of them coming to his door in the middle of the night to do bad things.

Is this Wuliang Jade Bi really that outrageous?

Zhang Manqian had never seen the Wuliang Jade Wall directly and found it difficult to understand at first, but she agreed to Zhang Xuezhou's request very quickly.

"Our world may hold far more treasures than I imagined," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Perhaps we'll be able to unearth some more in the future!"

"I find this a bit hard to understand!"

"Then you can think of the Boundless Jade Disc as a special mineral with high radiation. Currently, very few people can withstand the radiation from this kind of mineral, and my body can withstand it too, so we can use it to deter villains!"

"I can accept your explanation now. By the way, Professor Ren said that an international dispute will begin in eight days, and we'll be going with the group then. What about the Boundless Jade Disc?"

"Professor Ren can withstand the influence of the Boundless Jade Wall; he will handle it accordingly!"

International disputes don't last long. One day is used for agreements and contracts between countries, another day or two are used for bargaining and calculating, which involves competition among the high-level Sequence Holder in each country, and one day is used for the final settlement.

Normally, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't have made it in time at all; by the time he was lucid, the international dispute was already coming to an end.

However, in order to form a Qin Meng group, Ren Yisheng clearly wanted Zhang Xuezhou to personally witness the strength of the many high- Sequence Holder in the Alliance States, and also to try to bring these people together to form the Qin Meng Hunting Group.

This kind of thing can only be resolved with Zhang Xuezhou's assistance, making it inevitable that the international dispute conference would be delayed.

"Make some preparations for a long journey; perhaps after the international dispute, we can head towards Qin and Meng!"

Zhang Xuezhou whispered something, and only after Zhang Manqian nodded and left the room did he begin to place the Boundless Jade Wall facing the main entrance, and then turn on the indoor lights.

The simple arrangement resembled a formation taking shape, leaving Zhang Xuezhou somewhat bewildered.

He felt as if he had become a rudimentary version of the Purple Cloud Palace.

The core of the Zixiao Palace's formation was left behind by beings from another realm, and it is also what keeps the Zixiao Palace's grand formation running.

In Zhang Xuezhou's rest room, he also began to use external objects for self-defense in a rather professional manner.

The Boundless Jade Wall can indeed serve as the core of an array. If relevant terrain can be used to expand the effect of the Boundless Jade Wall, it will become a true array.

Zhang Xuezhou gazed at the Boundless Jade Wall, where the scene of him using his evasion technique began to appear.

These 'remains reflected in a mirror' can indeed reveal one's inner thoughts.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't intend to further advance the evasion techniques in reality, but once he returned to Western Kunlun, it would most likely become inevitable.

Just thinking about how the Emperor used his body to perform magic when he returned to reality, and even fought with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon for nearly half an hour, Zhang Xuezhou understood the Emperor and Empress's thoughts perfectly.

If no explanation is given to the Emperor and Empress, Zhang Xuezhou's value will become negligible, and he can only be used to resolve the century-long agreement.

If he were more powerful, it wouldn't matter, but the key is that Zhang Xuezhou is just all talk. Given that there is a replacement like Jiang Qi, his value as a bargaining chip is indeed not very high.

"We must demonstrate our own value!"

Zhang Xuezhou withdrew his gaze from the Boundless Jade Wall, then lay quietly on the wooden bed waiting for the appointed time.

He would review many things in his real life, and he would also calculate what he would have to face when he woke up in another world, so that he wouldn't be confused and could quickly get through the mental lag when switching worlds.

"As long as the void remains, I shall endure forever!"

"Those who believe in me will have eternal life!"

Faintly, the sound of mechanical chanting began to rise, and Zhang Xuezhou felt a slight darkness before his eyes, as if he were in some kind of time tunnel.

This feeling was similar to when they used 'Jiuyu' to travel from Zixiao Palace to Fangzhang Secret Realm, only this time the distance he traveled was much greater.

For Zhang Xuezhou in the past, this kind of travel was as simple as blinking an eye.

For Zhang Xuezhou now, he can truly experience this process of traveling.

The powerful spiritual force guided his spiritual world, causing even a moment in the real world to feel incredibly long, allowing him to observe it in great detail.

Even after entering Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, there are still unexplored aspects of the formidable mental power. When a certain power enters a transformative phase, the ways in which this power can be used can be diverse, and the present moment is another example of this.

Zhang Xuezhou could even sense something protecting him from within his three souls and seven spirits, which allowed him to travel safely.

Those might be the chants of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

For him, it was just a simple moment, but this was a combination he had chanted countless times.

"His power is indeed very subtle, like the power of a believer inherited from Huang... it's the power of a believer inherited from Yu!"

In the past, Zhang Xuezhou had fought against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and during those battles, he always sought to counter them with his own strength. He had never experienced such a third-person perspective of observation before.

He sensed the power originating from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, feeling that the power of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was somewhat similar to Huang, but Zhang Xuezhou quickly ignored Huang, this half-finished cultivator, and instead thought of 'Yu'.

Zhang Xuezhou had never met 'Yu', but Zhang Xuezhou had once unearthed an object of faith beneath the Letaya Shrine, and that power of faith did not affect Huang.

This is a very subtle power, and it was once used as a casting coordinate by Presenel, which attracted five fireballs.

Recalling everything, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the cultivation methods of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and Yu were somewhat similar.

"The Void Stone, which the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon entrust with immortality, and the divine throne that Yu Gaoju holds are too similar in nature. Could it be that the different words used in the translations are simply due to different wording, and that you actually originate from the same cultivation system and the same world?"

Perhaps Zhang Xuezhou was pondering complex thoughts, or perhaps he had reached Zhang Xuezhou limit, causing the subtle state of mental time travel to shatter.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a blur before his eyes, and as the distillery flashed by, his nostrils were filled with the rich aroma of wine.

This made his mind quickly become hazy, and he began to see the world spinning before his eyes.

Clearly, the Golden Toad Dharma King and his entourage had been brewing wine in the distillery for twelve days, and Zhang Xuezhou had also been thoroughly inhaling the aroma of the wine for twelve days.

Normally, he would enter Grain Avoidance state during these twelve days, and his physical needs would be extremely low.

However, perhaps due to some changing factor, Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have absorbed enough alcohol over the past twelve days, thus putting himself into a state of intoxication.
