Azure Clouds and Turbid Qi

Just before the world transition, Zhang Xuezhou took the dragon pearl he had obtained from Ao Li.

The Dragon Balls possess the miraculous ability to heal dragons, and they also replenished Zhang Xuezhou's Demon Power, enabling him to transform and create the Golden Wings.

Zhang Xuezhou used the Dragon Ball again for a simple reason: he felt that his demon core was still somewhat flawed and wanted to try using the Dragon Ball to repair it.

If it can't be repaired, it proves that his demon core is intact. This would make Zhang Xuezhou give up the idea that the demon core was not perfectly round and accept its irregular shape.

If it cannot be replenished, the energy released from the Dragon Balls might be able to boost the "Technique Within the Clouds".

Having once used the Dragon Ball to practice the "Technique Within the Clouds," Zhang Xuezhou still had some thoughts on this matter.

But Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that the Dragon Ball would shatter because of this.

With a gulp, he spat out a dragon ball, which Zhang Xuezhou saw land and transform into the size of a human head before shattering into pieces on the ground.

"So small, yet so big?"

Li Shaojun, who was striking the gong, was taken aback, only to find that Zhang Xuezhou had just spat out an ancient treasure that was about to be sold.

Gu Bao had nothing to envy, after all, he wasn't someone who lacked such old and broken treasures.

"Tsk tsk tsk, thank goodness the Daoist priest woke you up, otherwise if this thing had burst open in your mouth, your head would have exploded," Li Shaojun complained.

"Has it been a long time?"

After vomiting, Zhang Xuezhou turned to Rong Tianding on the other side of the bed and asked.

"I woke up two days later than usual," Rong Tianding said. "My aunt and uncle were almost furious and scolded Aqiao for a long time, so I came over to solve the problem, but then I realized I couldn't solve it myself, so I asked Master Li for help!"

"This mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict really came on fast," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "You should feel better when you go back!"

"You... cousin, has your illness gotten worse?"

Rong Tianding did not relax because of Zhang Xuezhou's self-deprecating jokes; instead, his face showed a deep melancholy.

I should be fine!

Zhang Xuezhou gave an uncertain reply.

He was unaware of what was happening while fishing, and the fact that he shattered the Dragon Ball after regaining consciousness is also somewhat perplexing.

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his eyes slightly, and his body swayed slightly. He felt the magical Law Power in his acupoints gurgling, flowing like a babbling brook. It was no longer the residual Law Power that used to drip like a mountain spring.

During the twelve days he spent changing worlds, A-Qiao did not slack off, and finally gave him about one-tenth of his Law Power to use freely, which was five or six times more than the one or two percent of Law Power he had before.

If the difficulty of breaking the Yang Locking Seal is balanced, Zhang Xuezhou believes he will fully recover his normal strength in about a year.

With a sweep of his senses towards his lower Dantian, Zhang Xuezhou felt the primordial elixir lying obediently within Dantian.

The nurturing of the Dragon Ball brought about changes, but the changes were very minor, as if the demon core had become slightly rounder and smoother.

"Could it be that the Dragon Ball was smashed while fishing? How does that thing work? Why didn't the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon use the Dragon Ball when it took over...? Right, he can barely control my body right now, and I've never seen him do anything to it. He shouldn't be able to control this Dragon Ball. Speaking of which, what exactly does winning this fishing trip bring? Is it just going to make me forget everything after that one knock?"

Li Shaojun's gong sounds were noise, while the resounding bells in Zhang Xuezhou's mind brought him a sense of emptiness.

But this sense of emptiness was quickly shattered. Zhang Xuezhou didn't immediately understand what he had gained; he only knew that he had lost the Dragon Ball.

"No change, no movement, no feeling!"

After examining himself closely, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he lacked anything special and did not sense anything special.

After a thorough inspection, Zhang Xuezhou began to examine every part of the body.

When did you bring it?

Zhang Xuezhou's body hadn't changed at all; he hadn't lost a single inch of flesh. When he looked down, he saw that Zhuang Qingdi's Law Treasure cloth had been used as a bed sheet.

"We've been sleeping on each other's pillows for over ten days, and we thought we'd let you sleep on them too, so you won't complain that we didn't give you a chance during our experiments," Li Shaojun said sullenly.

"I received this four days ago, around 3 PM!"

Li Shaojun complained, while Rong Tianding gave Zhang Xuezhou the exact time he needed.

Four days ago, heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things were one with me...

Zhang Xuezhou read it aloud, roughly guessing the nature of this seemingly random fishing trip.

He initially thought that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had caused some trouble in the void realm, but after a moment's realization, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it might be related to the Law Treasure cloth, and perhaps he had encountered the true owner of the Law Treasure cloth while fishing.

"Then what did you lose to me?"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered to himself, jumped off the bed, and reached out to tear at the Law Treasure cloth.

A sudden darkness descended, and Zhang Xuezhou felt his body sway as he was swept into a new world.

"It's a hidden paradise!"

Li Shaojun screamed in terror as she fell, Rong Tianding was also caught in the fall.

The two men were very close to Zhang Xuezhou. When they saw that Zhang Xuezhou was standing still, they pulled on Zhang Xuezhou body together.

"This doesn't look like a grotto!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood in the air. He looked up and saw the blue aura in the sky rolling like clouds, while below, dust swirled and the scene was extremely murky, not looking like land at all.

When Zhang Xuezhou first started out, he encountered high-level situations. He had seen the Pill Furnace of the Yin-Yang School and also spent time in the Golden Toad Dharma King's cave pearl.

Although he was in a life-or-death situation at the time, Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that the treasure he saw then was top-notch, and he rarely saw similar Law Treasure afterward.

If the Yin-Yang School's Pill Furnace is superior to the Nine Dragon Cauldron, Zhang Xuezhou has never seen a treasure similar to the Cave Heaven Pearl in recent years.

"What else could this be but a celestial paradise? It's so vast, reaching both heaven and earth! Oh dear, how come you only took one celestial paradise? It breaks my heart!"

Li Shaojun clung to Zhang Xuezhou's leg, tears streaming down his face, completely ignoring the gong in his hand.

As the gong wobbled and fell, instantly turning to dust in the swirling air, he loosened his grip again.

Seeing himself also falling, he grabbed Zhang Xuezhou's leg and struggled to climb up.

"Hey, you surnamed Dong, hurry up and take back this cave, this place is simply deadly," Li Shaojun urged.

"I don't even know how I got in, how would I know how to get out!"

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.

He simply flicked the Law Treasure cloth, never expecting it to get him caught up in the chaos. Now, without the Law Treasure cloth, he has no idea how to get out.

"The clouds in the sky are falling down, is there something wrong with this thing?" Rong Tianding asked.

"I don't know what the clouds in the sky are like, but I saw the dust below suddenly hit me like a gong... The dust was churning and swirling up, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Li Shaojun looked up at the sky, then down at the ground. His face paled; he felt that he would die a horrible death in such a place.

"Hurry, hurry, you brought us in, you have to get us out safely!"

The green vapors descended, while the dust and turbid vapors rose.

Li Shaojun shouted, but his urging couldn't keep up with the rapidly changing situation.

Just after he finished shouting, Li Shaojun felt a cloud of dust enter his throat, making his body feel incredibly heavy.

When the blue cloud above his head fell away, he felt the heaviness recede, and his body seemed weightless, almost as if he were about to float away.
