The Tomb Scripture Countered Fortune Techniques

Leaving aside Zhang Xuezhou, once Ren Yisheng Ren Yisheng control in advance, not only could he not afford to use this ability, but it was also difficult to repeatedly employ him.

Ren Yisheng placed all his hopes for gaining control over the Eighth Sequence on the extract of ferocious beasts, attempting to normalize the control over the resistance layer.

Zhang Xuezhou studied it for a while and realized that his abilities were even less reliable than Ren Yisheng's.

Although he was not physically ill, he found it difficult to use this ability a second time.

When the fundamental conditions for cultivation are not met, and one is guided by some kind of inducement, extraordinary abilities may arise; this is called false ability.

The good thing about this situation is that it provides an upward direction, allowing one to know that one's spiritual practice may reach this level.

The downside of this situation is that it inevitably depletes something in the body, or results in paying a corresponding price in advance.

When facing a formidable enemy, such an outburst can be incredibly powerful, making one willing to pay the price.

But Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had only changed bodies and gotten out of bed, and this extravagance was beyond words.

Beware of the Hongku within your body!

After a series of physical tests, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't find any symptoms in his body, which prompted Ren Anran to offer a thoughtful reminder.

"Could it be that the power consumed is that of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon? Or is this power that belongs to him?"

Ren Anran's reminder forced Zhang Xuezhou to ponder whether this power truly belonged to him, or whether a new situation arose during his wait before reaching the time travel point, allowing him to utilize the power of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

"There's no way you can just take a lot of my abilities; I don't need a single bit of your strength!"

Recalling the many events that occurred in Huang Shi's mind domain, Zhang Xuezhou felt no psychological burden about borrowing the power of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

As long as he's healthy, he doesn't care about anything else; he's just worried that he might not be able to expend enough of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

The possibilities involved include the abilities gained from Realm Technique related to the Divine Mental Strengthening Divine Ability Realm, the sequence control power that may be related to mental enhancement, the influence of the tree chair, and the potential abilities of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon. These numerous possibilities make it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to discern the truth.

He eventually became immune to the bites of lice and continued living his life as usual.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Xuezhou temporarily abandoned his attempt to repeat this method of controlling speed.

"The cargo ship keeps sounding its horn; are we about to reach the shore?"

After quickly washing up and eating, Zhang Xuezhou turned his attention to the patches of pale blue water floating outside the glass partition of the restaurant.

Ocean-going cargo ships carry goods, and the living conditions are generally basic.

The restaurant where he was was still dimly lit, not a very nice place. Zhang Xuezhou was accompanied only by Zhang Manqian and Ren Anran.

He questioned the two of them, and Zhang Manqian nodded in agreement.

"They said the return trip has a lighter cargo load, so the ship will sail faster and arrive at the shore earlier. We should be arriving at the land-based port around today," Zhang Manqian said.

"It's about two or three days faster than the normal itinerary," Ren Anran said with a smile. "You're lucky you're not constrained by your illness like we are!"

The beasts were enormous, some even weighing several tons or tens of tons, but compared to ocean-going freighters that often carried hundreds of thousands of tons, the weight of a few beasts was negligible.

Although the ferocious beasts are of great importance and value, carrying them is no different from running an empty ship, as ocean-going freighters travel at speeds much faster than normal.

Ren Anran chuckled at Zhang Xuezhou, indicating that the people on the ship were so tossed about that it was difficult to concentrate on anything, but the phrase "a blessing in disguise" did resonate with Zhang Xuezhou.

If we disregard all the arrangements, he has indeed had a smooth and successful life in reality, without experiencing the arduous journey that many people go through.

It was precisely because of this phrase, "a blessing in disguise," that Zhang Xuezhou connected his discussions with Dong Zhongshu about many real-world issues.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to repeatedly give Ren Anran instructions.

"It seems my brother had recited this 'Grave Classic' before," Ren Anran said. "But it had no effect on him whatsoever!"

"It's normal that it didn't work," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "The power brought by this scripture is somewhat strange and difficult to realize. I just wanted to try my luck and see if I could pick out a few successful children from the academy!"

"If we can really catch Huang Daoxian, then we'll have to confront him head-on," Zhang Manqian said nervously.

"Why even think about a direct confrontation?" Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "If we actually find him, we'll just bombard him with artillery fire, and then clean up the mess!"

"Will Huang Daoxian be lucky enough to avoid it?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"We should at least try it!"

Zhang Xuezhou pursed his lips.

Dong Zhongshu made a lot of plans, and Zhang Xuezhou also made a lot of plans.

The former was directed at the King of Huainan, while the latter was directed at Huang Daoxian.

Whether it will work or not, they definitely need to give it a try.

If there is no clash of skills, everyone will have good luck, and the outcome will be difficult to predict when a collision occurs.

Zhang Xuezhou's ideal scenario was that someone would be able to open their "eye of destiny" and coincidentally discover Huang Daoxian, after which a barrage of firepower would be unleashed.

The next best approach is to rule out suspicion from certain Lineage, thus avoiding wasting energy on ineffective targets.

Whether or not Huang Daoxian is discovered, or whether or not he can be targeted, what he did was entirely beneficial.

"The name 'The Tomb Classic' is strange, and its ability to achieve this is unique. It seems to be designed to counter cases like Huang Daoxian, as if it's meant to send him to his grave."

Zhang Manqian was thinking about whether things would succeed or fail, while Ren Anran's thoughts were always focused on the "Grave Classic".

She read it aloud several times, pondering Zhang Xuezhou's introduction, and felt that the "Tomb Classic" seemed to have a specific target meaning.

The ability of this scripture to fulfill other wishes is secondary; it's more like a natural nemesis targeting Zodiac.

She repeated it several times, which sent a chill down Zhang Xuezhou, who was beaming with pride.

It seems they suspect the King of Huainan is using the "Fate Eye" to observe the new emperor's situation, and they have chosen to confront him. However, the court must also possess the same resources as the King of Huainan, and there may even have been prior instances of mutual targeting.

At present, he is not only seeking to target the King of Huainan, but also taking advantage of past conditions to actively present himself before the King of Huainan.

However, Zhang Xuezhou realized that he not only needed to present his identity to the King of Huainan to avoid trouble, but his clandestine practice of cultivation techniques was also a significant problem in the court. It was very likely that the new emperor would need to know the situation and make a misjudgment or give his approval in order for him to remain in the court. Otherwise, the future troubles would be difficult to deal with, and his close relationship with the new emperor in practicing cultivation techniques would inevitably lead to chaos.

"That's a bit difficult!"

He muttered to himself, feeling that the matter concerning Huang Daoxian was difficult to judge, and that serving the Great Han Dynasty was not an easy path either.

In the past, he took things one step at a time, but now he is obviously no longer as passive as before. Instead, he needs to make arrangements in advance to avoid future problems as much as possible.

Before the ocean-going freighter even docked, his thoughts had already wandered far away.
