The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's Mindset

It is absurd to seek guidance from agrarian societies, but the differences in the individual development of cultivators have broken down this boundary.

Even the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon have set their sights on another world.

This means that Zhang Xuezhou of the Great Han Dynasty was the one who obtained the benefits, while Zhang Xuezhou of the Scarlet Alliance State was the one who shared the benefits.

This is very similar to Zhang Xuezhou's situation over the years.

His Realm Technique and Technique Method all originated from another world, but his own world rarely contributed to his growth in the other world; rather, it was his knowledge and ideas that provided support.

Regardless of which aspect was missing, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could not have developed to this extent in just fifteen years.

After all, he was truly starting from scratch, with absolutely no foundation whatsoever, and taking that first step was extremely difficult, wasting a full eighteen years of his life.

Without the opportunity brought about by the struggle Zhu Shiyin and Hairy Head Sun, he would have been trapped in Zhang Household Village for his entire life, and in reality, he would have been frustrated and depressed.

"Although you gave me a foundation, I forged my own path!"

If everything originated from Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and success was solely due to gifts, Zhang Xuezhou would not have harbored any resentment or bitterness about losing his life.

But everything he gained was earned through his own hard work; the convenience provided by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was more of a supplementary measure.

This undoubtedly made Zhang Xuezhou unwilling to be replaced, which inevitably led to a head-on confrontation.

Once a personality is formed, it is difficult to change. The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon hold high positions and great power, so adjusting them is not a simple matter, and their problems are easily detected in social interactions.

Zhang Xuezhou is extremely adaptable and can navigate various networks of relationships.

If Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon has designs on another world, that world will inevitably want to utilize his social skills.

The Demon Thought duck only uttered a few words, but Zhang Xuezhou deduced why he had remained safe until now.

Even when he used A Qiao to cure the illness, it only angered the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, who wanted to teach him a lesson but failed, and it didn't cause any further trouble.

As he reflected on the events, Zhang Xuezhou also discovered the dependence of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon on him.

Demon Thought Nianya's words can be used as a reference, but Zhang Xuezhou will place more emphasis on his own judgment.

The other party is also making a gamble, betting that Zhang Xuezhou can get what they need and then take it away.

Their competition will not take place in the present moment. Even if the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon discover some problems with this great hall, they will have to tolerate it.

Having figured everything out, Zhang Xuezhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"He needs me, and he must tolerate me!"

"His failed dimensional leap must mean he's seeking greater power. Even if I'm courting death, I have to clean up his mess!"

With numerous thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhang Xuezhou made a clear judgment about the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon for the first time.

The most dangerous thing when fighting an enemy is not knowing their strengths and weaknesses or the limits of their capabilities.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't yet fully grasp the strength of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but he understood most of its mindset, and its vague image was presented to him for the first time.

A disillusioned individual with top-tier strength and high position, a great cultivator attempting a comeback, a person capable of forbearance and perseverance, a person whose confidence was almost shattered by defeat, and a person who stakes his hopes on another world.

This person bears a striking resemblance to the Emperor, but unlike the Emperor who has companions by his side, this person is almost entirely alone, surrounded only by a group of mindless, dead souls.

In this situation, the other party's temperament is likely not as calm as the Emperor's, so Zhang Xuezhou should not act recklessly too frequently.

"I'll give the Throne of Immortality a try!"

Seeing the purplish-blue body turn white, Zhang Xuezhou looked at the Demon Thought duck.

"Fools, your master is here! Behave yourselves!"

The Demon Thought duck tilted its head, then launched into a tirade against the Throne of Immortality.

The thorns protruding from the throne seemed startled; their sharp points quickly retracted from the void furnace's body and merged with the throne.

"Its thorns are much finer than the tip of a needle," Ren Anran said.

"It looks a bit like a mosquito's proboscis!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Xu Lu was covered in thorns, but there was no visible wound on his body, and he felt nothing.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou reached out and shook the illusory furnace that it emerged from its domineering state.

"What's wrong with this throne? When I sat on it, all I saw was darkness, with a tiny light in the darkness, but I couldn't see it clearly no matter how hard I looked... Ugh, why do I feel sore all over and weak after sitting on it?"

"You're probably just too hungry!"

Xu Lu came to his senses and said a few words, but then he felt sore and weak all over, so Zhang Xuezhou had to make up an excuse.

His reasoning was clearly quite plausible. Xu Lu grumbled a couple of times and then mentioned that the physical bodies of these Ferocious Beast were terrible, so fragile that it was almost despair-inducing.

"Should I try it first?"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou about to sit on the throne, Ren Anran pointed to indicate this.

"Your current condition isn't great, and you'll have to traverse the distortions later, so let me go first!"

The Xuanqi Heavy Armor, capable of withstanding mental shocks and excelling in Fortune War, possesses unparalleled advantages in protecting Ren Anran's Yang Corporeal Soul body.

However, Ren Anran, clad in Xuanqi heavy armor, was entangled and unable to break free from a group of soul-devouring dead souls, and almost lost herself in the recitation. This must be said that nothing in the world is perfect.

Zhang Xuezhou also didn't want Ren Anran to take risks in her weakened state, especially since everyone would have to return to the real world later, and traversing the distortion would also require effort.

He glanced at the long staff beside the throne before slowly sitting down.

Slightly different from the situation of Xu Lu sitting on the throne of immortality, Zhang Xuezhou's throne of immortality gives rise to tree branches, rather than thorns that extract life force.

Layers of tree branches covered his body, but in an instant, darkness appeared in Zhang Xuezhou's gazing eyes.

In the darkness, a faint light appeared.

Only when Zhang Xuezhou drew closer did he notice the glittering gemstones adorning the tree chair.

Is this his perspective?

It was as if with just a gentle nudge, Zhang Xuezhou could exchange lives with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon through the tree chair.

Even without guidance, he can trace back to the source and find the world he has traversed.

The coordinates of this traction were so obvious that Zhang Xuezhou could almost feel his body lying in Chang'an City.

He did not wish to trace the source and disturb the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but instead carefully examined everything in this dark area.

Never before had he been able to observe so clearly and normally, for a much longer period than the fleeting glances he made as he moved through the crowd.

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his right hand. His body was still in the hall, and his right hand was reaching towards the front of the throne of immortality, but he felt that his right hand had already touched the tree chair.

In an instant, the memories recorded in the tree chair resurfaced, and the giant tree that devoured the planet reappeared in Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

Like a chattering old man, the tree chair, crafted from a section of a giant tree, will replay all past experiences whenever it is touched.

Zhang Xuezhou was powerless to escape this forced viewing, and he had no choice but to relive his past experiences once again.

There's no point in demonstrating something repetitive, especially for someone with Zhang Xuezhou's exceptional memory. If he wanted to, he could recall everything he watched from the tree chair.

But after watching it repeatedly this time, he actually discovered something different from before.
