Another Person's Lifetime
"Two and a half days until we return to the real world!"
Perhaps it's because the Celestial Technique has certain unique characteristics, or perhaps Zhang Xuezhou in exceptionally good condition at this moment.
The state of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven, which had been repeatedly unattainable, was once again brought down by him.
In the past, Zhang Xuezhou had incorporated the technique of cloud soaring into his Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven with nature, which gave him extraordinary flying abilities at certain times. Now, however, he combined it with the technique of the Heavenly Law.
He even sensed a crucial connection between the Heavenly Law and the Body Technique.
This connection is achieved through the unity of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven and nature.
We need to take a gamble!
Zhang Xuezhou had never experienced such a period of genius in his cultivation, nor had he ever had such a moment of brilliant insight. He even managed to achieve a state of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven.
Being on his home turf in the water, he certainly had a unique advantage.
For 99% of people, Cistanche deserticola is a major health hazard, with the negative consequences far outweighing the benefits. But this may be a rare fortuitous opportunity for him.
This fortuitous opportunity was somewhat risky, and he needed to gamble on whether his life was tough enough.
"My Grain Avoidance Instruction has undergone the evolution of half-immortal and Divine Ability, expanding the scope for improvement in Technique Method. My cloud-riding technique has reached a level beyond that of ordinary Divine Ability, and physical body techniques may also be possible!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the golden light emanating from his ten-foot-tall body.
He was a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm, but Zhang Xuezhou never innovated any cultivation techniques; most of his cultivation methods were simply continuations of the paths taken by his predecessors.
At that moment, a restless thought began to stir within him.
One is the 108,000-aperture physical body technique, which he had only practiced a few times in the past; another is the Dharma Heaven technique, which Divine Lord Zhenyuan had just taught him; and the third is the Unity of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven technique, which he has been practicing for a long time but has been unable to enter.
None of these techniques were Zhang Xuezhou's forte, yet his innovative and transformative skills stemmed from these three.
This technique is even designed to enhance physical strength, which contradicts Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method of practicing magic by running away for more than ten years.
Zhang Xuezhou felt conflicted, but in order to save his own life, he had to push forward.
He raised his arms, and a faint halo appeared from time to time on the golden wings he had practiced with the "Technique Within the Clouds".
Zhang Xuezhou did not stitch the "Technique Within the Clouds" into the body during the fusion, but his physical strength made it seem as if his arms were nothing when he swung them.
Zhang Xuezhou's "Technique Within the Clouds" has deficiencies; lacking a sufficiently strong physical body to support it, his "Technique Within the Clouds" had already exceeded the control of his physical body at the Iron Wing stage. Each practice brought endless pain and may have even triggered physical collapse.
At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou felt that with his body expanded, he would no longer suffer the pain of the "Technique Within the Clouds" training.
He could sense that the power of Suoyang was eroding the Golden Wings, and that some kind of change was occurring within it.
The Technique Within the Clouds does not require following the instructions step by step for refining. The refining methods in the secret scroll are just a regular path of cultivation opened up by the founder Leizhenzi for his descendants. For example, Leizhenzi himself was a celestial fruit that Tongtian, which condensed into wind and thunder wings, allowing him to cross many stages of change in one fell swoop.
Leizhenzi's rapid cultivation method is powerful and violent, but the consequence is that his body is Demonization, becoming neither human nor demonic, with an extremely ugly appearance and physique.
Despite his gradual ascension through cultivation, Venerable Lei still maintained a relatively normal appearance.
The reason for mentioning "The Technique Within the Clouds" is that Zhang Xuezhou judged that continuing to consume Suoyang would lead to a peak in Demon Power and a possible transformation. He believed that his strong body would be able to withstand this transformation without causing pain or affecting him.
Furthermore, he possesses the most powerful Law Power within his body. This potential hindrance will be distributed evenly among the Yang Soul Body, and there is also the possibility of release after the Heaven and Earth Bridges are unable to withstand the pressure.
After making a series of assessments, Zhang Xuezhou gained a general understanding of the potential harms of overdosing on Cistanche deserticola.
Moving forward would likely lead to survival, while stagnation would likely result in the body being unable to withstand the changes in the world, potentially leading to an explosion. Zhang Xuezhou's choice was not difficult.
"But your body is clearly normal now. You are exceptionally talented. If you can adjust properly in the next couple of days, your body may return to normal!"
Zhang Xuezhou's behavior of knowingly venturing into dangerous territory puzzled Divine Lord Zhenyuan.
He felt that after their hardships were over, they could go into seclusion for a period of time to remove the Law Power locked in their bodies by Suoyang and try to restore their internal balance.
After this process, the negative effects of the Locking Yang's sealing Law Power were largely eliminated, and they were able to withstand the sealing power from the Locking Yang in other aspects as well.
"The Yin-Yang School's cultivation techniques are quite unique. I currently lack the necessary conditions for cultivation, making it difficult to dispel the Law Power derived from the Locking Yang within my body," Zhang Xuezhou said helplessly. "My Demon Power cultivation originates from the ' Technique Within the Clouds ' taught by Venerable Lei of the Yedie River Holy Land. As long as my demonic wings meet the conditions for refinement and improvement, these two wings will improve regardless of my life or death. I was tormented to the point of near death before, and only after borrowing the Dragon Pearl for protection was I able to refine them further. Now, I probably can't hold on any longer!"
"You mean you'll only truly be in danger if you can't get past this step?" Divine Lord Zhenyuan said solemnly.
"Is that so!"
"But you... but this step you've taken affects someone else's entire life!"
Zhang Xuezhou was not a martial arts practitioner, but he improved his body refinement technique rapidly in just a few days, even aiming to transform it into Divine Ability power.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan knew that Zhang Xuezhou had strengthened the Grain Avoidance Instruction for the second time, and that his life techniques and cloud-riding techniques were showing remarkable performance. He also had a certain possibility of successfully advancing his body-refining techniques. However, Zhang Xuezhou's pursuit was something that other martial arts cultivators would only do for a lifetime.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan said was not to prevent Zhang Xuezhou from making his choice, but to remind Zhang Xuezhou of the dangers that lay ahead after taking this step, and also to remind Zhang Xuezhou of the difficulty of trying to surpass what others take a lifetime to achieve in just a few days.
"Let's give it a shot!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and then asked Divine Lord Zhenyuan to continue refining the demon blood through the Purple Gold Red Gourd.
He not only has an endless supply of Suoyang (a type of herb), but also the blood essence condensed from the bird demon killed by Divine Lord Zhenyuan.
"I'll squeeze this Ming Wang Peng dry, so you'd better watch out!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan nodded in agreement, indicating that he would take care of everything Zhang Xuezhou had instructed him to do.
But when he looked at the purple-gold gourd, he felt that even if Zhang Xuezhou succeeded, the subsequent troubles caused by taking large doses of this gourd blood essence would not be small.
Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou would find it difficult to dispel the Suoyang magic Law Power within his body, and many of his techniques would likely be sealed and difficult to unleash.
Just by thinking about the relevant circumstances, he realized that Zhang Xuezhou's situation was far more troublesome than his own.
"You..."
Just as Divine Lord Zhenyuan was about to warn Zhang Xuezhou to be careful, he saw Zhang Xuezhou look up at the sky, and the sound of chanting began to rise from his lips.
"Heaven and earth possess a vast and righteous energy, which manifests in various forms, becoming rivers and mountains below, and the sun and stars above..."
Zhang Xuezhou recited the Confucian School classic "The Righteous Spirit," but what he was actually guiding was the art of the Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven, which meant that Divine Lord Zhenyuan would find it difficult to understand the Technique Method through recitation for the time being.
However, it is extremely rare for Zhang Xuezhou to draw power from the world. In fact, this power is integrated into the Law of Heaven and is extremely compatible with the body-refining technique that Zhang Xuezhou cultivates.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan gazed at the sky, then looked at the changes in Zhang Xuezhou's body.
A thought suddenly crossed his mind: a similar technique, yet one that few had mastered.
"Following the laws of heaven and earth?"
