The True Body Sets Out
Humans and demons are different!
"With the demon core floating outside the body, one can only unleash their strongest power and perish together with the opponent!"
"But your Human Pill can not only shrink inside your abdomen, but also manifest as a Yang Soul Dharma Body, making it impossible for it to be identical in form to a demon core!"
His Majesty was unlikely to admit his mistake; he emphasized several points to indicate that everything was perfectly normal.
"But my Demon Power -condensed Yang Soul Body can't unleash the Acupoint-Fixing Technique," Zhang Xuezhou said regretfully.
"You can switch to Law Power Transfer!"
The Venerable One glanced at the external elixir manifested by Zhang Xuezhou and gestured for Zhang Xuezhou to infuse it with Law Power, since his "Yang Soul Incarnation Technique" could be used to transform into either a demon or a human, adapting to different forces for guidance.
His condensed Yang Soul Dharma Body is a framework; Zhang Xuezhou only needs to fill it with Law Power to complete the adaptation, and switching between them is not difficult.
"My Law Power body with Yang Soul power is only a tiny bit," Zhang Xuezhou whispered.
"What do you mean by 'a little bit'?" His Majesty asked.
"Look!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed a finger, and his Law Power surged within him.
Demon Power receded, his Law Power emerged, also causing the stick figure's outer core to be tinged with a hazy purple hue.
The fullness of the face and limbs emerged, and everything appeared as normal as the Yang Soul Dharma Body. It gradually transformed into the appearance of Zhang Xuezhou, but the Yang Soul Dharma Body that Zhang Xuezhou condensed was only the length of an arm and had no normal shape at all.
However, compared to his previous inability to condense a Yang Soul Dharma Body due to his weak Law Power, the Venerable One's "Yuan Dan Technique" made it much easier for him to manifest a Yang Soul Dharma Body. Even though Zhang Xuezhou could only use a small amount of Law Power, he could still manifest a Dharma Body form. This made Zhang Xuezhou marvel in his heart, and he felt that if he could cultivate the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique in this way in reality, it would be much easier.
"Your Law Power... after being separated from the yang soul body you've condensed, is this all the Law Power you can use?"
His Majesty opened his eyes.
He stared at the foot-long Yang Soul Dharma Body, then reached out and pressed down on Zhang Xuezhou's body several times.
Zhang Xuezhou still possessed Law Power within his body, but this was not Law Power that Zhang Xuezhou could invoke.
As if frozen in time, Zhang Xuezhou's Law Power accumulated within his body was difficult to control freely.
The Venerable One pulled and tugged at Zhang Xuezhou's magic power. Normally, the Law Power he pulled would stretch like a rubber band, but Zhang Xuezhou's Law Power was like inelastic rubber. When it touched the body, it could not be stretched. If forcibly pulled, it would only be torn apart.
It seems your health needs some rest and recuperation!
If one were to find a reason, the Venerable One would say that the Yang Soul Dharma Body he had condensed was the culprit.
This embarrassed him.
If Zou Bugui by his side, and he didn't need Zhang Xuezhou's help, and they didn't see each other, nothing would happen, and he wouldn't care about the cultivation progress of a junior cultivator.
But Zhang Xuezhou is the inheritor of Zou Bugui's art, and he also needs Zhang Xuezhou to release the Acupoint-Fixing Technique, which is a troublesome matter.
"Any complexity can be normalized through guidance," the Venerable One said. "You will definitely find a suitable method to solve your physical problems!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"My knowledge and possessions are limited, and I have little experience with human cultivation," the Venerable One said. "However, you can follow me to explore the Emperor Qin's tomb. Back then, the Emperor Qin Jieyin the blood of the Yinglong, which gave his body the immense strength of nine dragons. His cultivation of human body Demon Power reached its peak. Even the Dragon Kings of the Five Lakes would give Emperor Qin a wide berth. His tomb should contain a method suitable for you, which will surely solve your physical problems!"
"Can I also get a share in the tomb?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I am only opening the Emperor Qin's tomb to seek the blood of the Yinglong to continue and repair my body. I have no interest in anything else. I will not stop you from getting what is suitable for you. You can take it yourself when the time comes!"
His Majesty pointed to the large bronze door, indicating that the two were not in conflict, and that His Majesty would not place too much importance on external things.
He ordered Zhang Xuezhou to practice without question, but he was also very generous when distributing his spoils.
Of course, things are still unresolved. They haven't even entered the Emperor Qin's tomb; they're just wandering around the perimeter. At this point, anything they say is just empty promises.
"Xiao Zhou said there is a formation here, but the core of the formation is a hundred meters away from this bronze door. It is an internally locked formation that is difficult to break from the outside. Only those who possess specific related tokens or know the secret can open it. See if you can break it. Once you break the formation, everything will be fine," said the Venerable One.
"What a pity!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the bronze door.
When his cultivation level is normal, he can use the Acupoint-Fixing Technique to cover a distance of not to mention a hundred meters, even if it extends for three or four hundred meters, without any pressure.
However, given that he can only draw upon two or three percent of his body's Law Power, achieving such a distance is undoubtedly a difficult task.
"Really not going to work?" His Highness asked, frowning.
"My magical Law Power is limited. Unless you place me near the core of the formation, I cannot use acupoint sealing techniques, making it difficult to stop the formation," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
"This formation must have manipulated the earth's veins; how can human strength contend with the power of heaven and earth!"
His Excellency frowned and looked at himself from head to toe.
"Dou Yifang used insidious methods to plot against His Majesty, and His Majesty's external strength was reduced to less than one-tenth, making it impossible for him to forcefully charge into the formation," Lu Baibai said.
"It's a pity that the Movement Method bead Your Majesty previously crafted has shattered," the Feiyu Demon King lamented.
"That Yangli Yang Li wasted his talents in Lingnan, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a passive position now!"
Lu Baibai whispered twice, but His Majesty remained silent.
After waiting for a long time, he looked at Zhang Xuezhou with a solemn expression.
"Are you really sure you can pinpoint the acupoint by stepping near the core of the formation?" the Venerable One asked.
"I can use acupoint-fixing techniques to penetrate it, but the Law Power I can use is limited. I can't guarantee that the Acupoint-Fixing Technique will definitely work, nor can I guarantee how long the suppression will last," Zhang Xuezhou, shaking his head repeatedly.
"The formations of this world are truly unpleasant!"
Even though the Hunyuan Wuji Formation was used, and the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains formed a natural barrier, thus leveraging the power of the formation, the Venerable One still disliked the formation.
Few cultivators specializing in formations can be considered top-tier among cultivators in the Three Realms, but the formations they create have indeed caused headaches for many, and have even led to the deaths of some super experts.
Emperor Qin Huang, Ying Zheng, was not skilled in battle formations, but the enemy had too many talented individuals under their command, and it was unknown which expert in battle formations had set up this deadly formation.
"Emperor Qin Huang, Ying Zheng, is quite a remarkable man. It wouldn't be beneath me to come and meet him in my true form!"
After walking back and forth for more than ten steps, His Excellency finally looked up and spoke.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
The Feiyu Feather Demon King was startled, Lu Baibai also spoke up.
"What? Are you afraid I'll be killed by the traps and formations of Emperor Qin's tomb?" the Venerable One said coldly. "Or are you afraid I'll be captured by that old alchemist from the Immortal Court, or that Li Guang will snipe me with an arrow!"
His Majesty's expression was solemn, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding.
Creating a walking avatar is one thing; giving that avatar sufficient power is another.
His avatar was still exquisite, but not much different from Zhang Xuezhou's situation. The Venerable One had limited Law Power to use, making it difficult to break through this internally locked formation, even if he could only advance a few dozen meters.
He pushed the bronze door hard with his right hand, using the force of lifting a cauldron to make the bronze door bend slightly, but in a short time, the bronze door returned to its original state.
As the entrance to the formation, the Venerable One did not cause too much damage, lest the destruction of the bronze gate lead to a complete blockade, thus losing the possibility of entering from the entrance.
He pushed hard and sat down by the door, closing his eyes and saying nothing more.
"His Majesty has returned to his original form!"
Lu Baibai whispered something.
His face showed a mixture of anticipation and caution as he glanced around warily.
Meanwhile, the Feiyu Feather Demon King quickly left the cave to begin his patrol, trying to reduce any factors that might reveal the Venerable One's whereabouts.
