Leaving the Sacred Land
Alcohol is not classified as a poison. Zhang Xuezhou's Poison Avoidance Instruction alcohol can prevent excessive drunkenness, but it does not prevent normal drunkenness.
He staggered to his feet, realizing that he had drunk too much Nine Treasures Wine twelve days ago, and that his body had continued to absorb the alcohol, causing his drunken state to persist.
Zhang Xuezhou really doesn't have any good ways to sober up.
He glanced at the steam rising from the brewery, then at the equally drunken Golden Toad Dharma King, and then at Sha Li, who was lying unconscious.
The cassia wood in the hearth was still burning, but the goddesses were nowhere to be seen in the brewery.
Zhang Xuezhou had no one to rely on, so he could only stagger and struggle out of the brewery.
As he breathed in the fresh air, he felt much more comfortable, and the spinning world before his eyes swayed less violently than before.
"The amount of Nine Treasures Wine needed to keep me intoxicated and deepen my intoxication is considerable, especially since this period spans twelve days. This requires my body to continuously absorb the vapors of the wine. When did my Grain Avoidance Instruction so potent?"
Since Zhang Xuezhou entered the semi-immortal state through the Grain Avoidance Instruction Technique, he can maintain his body's activity for a period of time by swallowing air, and will not experience hunger.
When Zhang Xuezhou enlightened him on the Grain Avoidance Divine Ability, his absorption became significantly stronger, almost equivalent to normal eating when he actively activated the Grain Avoidance Instruction.
As long as his body doesn't suffer significant damage, Zhang Xuezhou believes he won't die even if he doesn't eat or drink for several years.
However, actively promoting the Grain Avoidance Instruction is one thing, Grain Avoidance Instruction operating the fasting method is another.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that his twelve-day Grain Avoidance state was abnormal. He was in a brewery and had ended up in this situation. If he were in a special area, such passive Grain Avoidance could very well have made him 'full' to death.
Everything has its limits; exceeding those limits is counterproductive.
Like Zhang Xuezhou's Supreme Purity True Technique, once released on someone who is severely injured and lacks physical strength, its powerful and rapid healing force could almost kill them.
Currently, the Grain Avoidance Instruction is also encountering similar problems.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that his greatly increased spiritual power had affected his self in this world, causing the Bigu Technique to Grain Avoidance Instruction. However, his spiritual power had reached its peak in another world, and it was only now that it was affecting this body normally. In fact, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had been entangled with him these past few days, making it difficult for them to tamper with his body.
"Did someone tamper with my body?"
If you eliminate one guess after another, the answer will gradually emerge.
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
He originally thought he had to promote the practice of the avoidance technique in front of the Emperor and others, but he didn't expect that the Emperor and others would examine him thoroughly over the past twelve days, and even possibly trigger the operation of the Grain Avoidance Instruction in his body.
This is the disadvantage of Zhang Xuezhou being unable to take care of his own body, but fortunately he was in the Kunlun Sacred Land, rather than in the secret place of the Eastern Heavenly Gate where he was being studied by the Golden Cloud Goddess.
"I need to find a time to sneak down the mountain!"
If Cai Ma hadn't returned to the Kunlun Sacred Land, Zhang Xuezhou felt he was the weakest cultivator Kunlun Sacred Land, even Sha Li could pose a significant threat after he switched worlds.
Being in this research environment and unable to defeat others, it's understandable that Zhang Xuezhou would consider running away after getting what he wanted.
After all, Zhang Xuezhou was too familiar with the model of the old mansion, and Kunlun Sacred Land was an alternative old mansion. However, Zhang Xuezhou did not have the same opportunities in the real world, nor could he establish a stable cooperation through coercion.
Instead of leaving his Essence Blood at the Heaven and Earth Cauldron mentioned by the Emperor, he decided to use the superposition of direction and flight time as guidance and positioning. As long as he kept flying in a certain direction into the Great Han Dynasty, he could then accurately locate himself.
"There's no time like the present, let's go today!"
Zhang Xuezhou staggered out of the brewery, wandering aimlessly and occasionally tripping over trees, vines, and flowers.
"The Holy Son has had a bit too much to drink!"
"His Grain Avoidance Instruction absorbs nutrients from heaven and earth to nourish his body. He has transformed the Grain Avoidance Instruction into Divine Ability; we can activate it but not deactivate it. He has been drinking a lot of alcohol these past few days, so it's perfectly normal for him to be intoxicated by it!"
"I should have sent him to the Wondrous Dharma Palace!"
"It's better to avoid trouble. It's good that he's drunk!"
Zhang Xuezhou's disheveled gait did not escape the eyes of the Emperor and Empress of the Myriad Longevity Pavilion. They could even sense the extent of Zhang Xuezhou 'Zhang Xuezhou drunkenness, and they simply let him sober up.
Zhang Xuezhou's behavior of wandering around while drunk is considered relatively well-behaved; at least it doesn't look shameful.
It was not exactly respectable for the Emperor and Empress to use Zhang Xuezhou's body for testing, and being drunk could easily lead to oversights. Therefore, the Emperor and Empress felt that Zhang Xuezhou could indulge in a bit of intoxication and did not agree with the suggestion of the monkey.
"It seems the Holy Son has left the Sacred Land?"
The brewery is located in Kunlun Ruins, a secret entrance to the Kunlun Sacred Land. Without the influence of any formations, the time required to leave the Sacred Land will not be very long.
All the onlookers saw Zhang Xuezhou stagger around the Sacred Land for a long time before he rolled around a tree and disappeared from sight.
This prompted Xin Yuan to remind him twice.
"He will naturally return once he leaves the Sacred Land," the Empress said. "The Holy Son has gone through so much trouble to return to the Sacred Land; he won't just go back drunk after only two days!"
"That's true," the monkey nodded.
"The people Hongjun has taken a liking to cannot be guessed using common sense!"
The Emperor gave a vague response.
He felt his gaze had lost its direction, and began to experience this desolate and uninteresting period of life.
He formed a hand Law Seals, and after a soft crackling sound of lightning, the Emperor's body vanished from the Myriad Longevity Pavilion.
"Where has Your Majesty gone?" the Emperor and Empress asked the monkey.
"What else can he do? If he has no wine, he'll go look at tombs," the monkey said listlessly. "It's either life or death, or drinking to pass the time. He has no other life!"
"The gods of Kunlun are all suffering more than anyone else because His Majesty has not left the Sacred Land. He has been in power for many years, hoping to share happiness with everyone, but he never imagined it would end like this. He is under more pressure than anyone else!"
"If you ask me, you should abandon Haotian, find another man, and then leave with everyone. That way, he won't feel so bad..."
"Absurd!"
The conversation between the monkey and the emperor and empress broke down after only a few words.
A banner embroidered with a fierce tiger was taken out. The emperor and empress reached out and waved the banner, and then they disappeared without a trace.
"Sigh, they just can't stand hearing the truth. If you ask me, this is the way to break the deadlock. If you all leave one by one, two by three, Haotian will have no attachments and will feel abandoned. Only then will he be willing to risk everything to survive!"
The monkey represents another side of the emperor; its words may be sincere or feigned, but they could all reflect thoughts that the emperor once held in his heart.
Some statements are not valid, while others can indeed be interpreted in different ways.
The monkey muttered to himself for a long time, then sat in the Myriad Longevity Pavilion, lost in thought.
Just as he was about to disperse, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuezhou had not been seen in Kunlun Ruins for a long time.
The time span is indeed quite long; there's no reason why Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't come back.
If too much time passes, the other person may have already left.
