Disdain Among Peers

When a yin entity possesses a person, it can cause physical weakness. This is because the two bodies have different life structures. In order to adapt to the body it invades, the yin entity makes the person more yin and less yang, making the person look gloomy Yin Qi listless.

Possession by a living great cultivator has two consequences. One is that the great cultivator erases the consciousness of the person, just as the Void Furnace erases or even takes over the body of Ferocious Beast, thus leaving only the shell to serve the person until the soul perishes.

Another method involves high-level cultivators temporarily borrowing bodies through communication. When invading a body, these cultivators make certain adaptive adjustments to ensure a smooth borrowing process.

"Your luck has finally turned around!"

After listening to Ren Anran's introduction, Zhang Xuezhou became quite interested.

Zhang Xuezhou has extensive experience in this area. He was possessed by evil spirits when he was young, and he was also possessed by the Buddha Son Shigong.

Of course, the fact that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon were corrupting his body is a well-worn topic.

However, Zhang Xuezhou had never been able to reap benefits without leaving any future troubles like Ren Anran. The convenience he had taken from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon meant that he would eventually have to return it, which inevitably involved life-or-death choices.

He genuinely envied Ren Anran; even if it wasn't Ren Anran's personal abilities, Zhang Xuezhou envied Ren Anran's good fortune.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ren Anran was somewhat like Wei Qing, possessing innate and sustained good fortune.

"According to Xu Fu's introduction, Xuanming is either a main god or a high- or mid-level god," Zhang Xuezhou said happily. "The gap between us and them is quite large. Their unintentional actions can have a considerable impact on us. Let's try to sense them more and see what they left behind!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he hadn't spent enough time talking with Xuanming. If he could have talked with Xuanming for three days and three nights, Xuanming might have been able to bring more benefits to Ren Anran.

"I feel like... I'm very, very close to Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter!"

Ren Anran examined the area for a while before raising her head with a strange expression.

"He seems to have left some of his spiritual power in my mind," Ren Anran said, unable to hide his excitement. "If I use the Heavenly God General Medicine or the X864 gene drug to stimulate it, I might be able to undergo a forced transformation!"

"Doesn't this sound a bit like the story in my dad's novels about transferring power from a distance, turning the other person's power into one's own?"

Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat taken aback.

He always felt that Zhang Weimeng's martial arts novels were unreliable, for example, the idea that the internal abilities of the strong were passed on to the weak.

Zhang Xuezhou always thought the whole thing was Wuyou. After all, he was a high-level cultivator and had never accomplished anything like this before. Even the sequence locks that Zhang Xuezhou activated were based on the sequence levels of other people and did not increase the strength of people out of thin air.

But with Ren Anran, Zhang Xuezhou watched helplessly as this was about to become a reality.

"External power is far less important than one's own strength. If I had known I needed the Xuan Qi Armor, I would have just asked for his residual spiritual power," Zhang Xuezhou said enviously. "Xuan Ming really doesn't know his own advantages at all!"

"It's still somewhat dangerous for Xuanming to possess you," Ren Anran said.

"As long as I can get some benefits, I don't care about the risk he takes!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, Ren Anran, thinking of Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition, was speechless for a moment.

What would be high-risk for others, Zhang Xuezhou was probably already used to.

This even made Zhang Xuezhou very envious, and he didn't care at all about the psychological trauma caused by Xuanming's fear of giant objects.

"Let's go back to the research institute to get the medicine. You try entering Chapter Seven!"

Ren Yisheng nearly died when he entered Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, and Zhang Xuezhou's entry into Chapter Seven was also high-risk and difficult to repeat, but Ren Anran was clearly much more relaxed.

Xuanming's level was undoubtedly extremely high, and this residual spiritual energy was equivalent to leaving behind a high-quality spiritual force catalyst.

Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou started from scratch, and needed to move from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Ren Anran, on the other hand, already possessed the ability to be guided, which was almost like successfully unleashing Divine Ability Technique Method. He only needed to guide his realm to complete a spiritual transformation.

After a brief conversation, Zhang Xuezhou almost understood Ren Anran's situation.

"Chapter Seven may grant access to the control of Gene Sequence, thus creating an opportunity to step into the Eighth Sequence. This would be a huge turning point," Zhang Xuezhou said. "And high-quality mental control has a significant promoting effect on realm intimidation and control of the Yang Corporeal Soul!"

Zhang Xuezhou's advantage over others lies in his solid foundation; his Realm Technique and high-level Mental Strengthening play an irreplaceable role.

Ren Anran almost perfectly replicated his strength, and even surpassed him in terms of Realm Technique after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if Ren Anran had forgotten her Technique Method, her strength was still not to be underestimated. She could completely suppress those below the Seventh Sequence, control those of the Seventh Sequence for two or three seconds, or even briefly challenge the minds of those of the Eighth Sequence, just like Zhang Xuezhou did.

I'll go back and try it right now!

Ren Anran raised her head and stepped forward, intending to return to North Rehe with Zhang Xuezhou. She saw Zhang Xuezhou, who was tidying up and taking the bronze tortoise, suddenly change his expression and then fall into a dazed state, standing by the chair as if he were drunk and about to collapse.

"Could it be that Xuanming has returned?"

Zhang Xuezhou's condition was clearly influenced by the bronze tortoise, which triggered his symptoms.

However, Ren Anran was not too worried. She was wearing the Xuan Qi Heavy Armor given to her by Xuan Ming, which was why she was being controlled. Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, did not take anything from Xuan Ming and would not be restrained.

As Xu Lu once explained, the stronger a cultivator is, the more severe the trauma from falling into a dimension, which means that Xuan Ming is unlikely to take any retaliatory actions.

She even took two steps away from Zhang Xuezhou to avoid indirect contact with the bronze tortoise, thus preventing Xuanming from controlling her Xuan Qi Heavy Armor and putting her at a disadvantage against Zhang Xuezhou.

"Look, An Ran didn't touch my body because she was anxious, and you can't control her!"

The tree chair serves as a bridge, allowing Zhang Xuezhou and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to freely travel between worlds.

The bronze tortoise also serves as a bridge, allowing the holder to communicate with its owner.

According to the principle behind the treasure, the holder of the bronze tortoise needs to request an audience repeatedly before he can expect a response from the tortoise's owner.

However, things were somewhat the opposite. Judging from Xuanming's sudden appearance, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the other party had been waiting for him to touch the bronze tortoise, thus forming a connection that would lead to their meeting.

He stood on the bronze tortoise, gazing at the colossal creature that vaguely appeared in the dark void.

The sheer size of the object was overwhelming; Zhang Xuezhou's body proportions compared to Xuanming's were like those of an ant and a human.

Though there was no wind or waves in the darkness, whirlpools still rose up, making one feel dizzy.

"This is outrageous! What kind of Heart Demon Oath did you make to me?!"

Amidst the roar of the colossal creature, Xuanming roared repeatedly in anger.

It was as if the dimensional traversal had caused a shockwave, resulting in the continuous emergence of dark vortexes, indicating that Xuanming's defenses were somewhat compromised.

"You are even more despicable than the Zodiac! I loathe your kind of colleague!" Xuanming roared.

"I still don't know what happened," Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. "I recited what you recited, and I will abide by what you abide by. It's fair!"

"Damn it, whose Great Heart Demon Oath that they've summoned the remnants of their ancestors to bear witness!"

Xuanming exclaimed, for he had never witnessed such a Great Heart Demon Oath in the vast world.

The evil Heart Demon Oath would be extinguished by two bolts of lightning, but after Xuanming recited the Heart Demon Oath, his deceased parents appeared, as did his grandparents whom he had never seen before, and even the source bloodline he didn't recognize at all.

This was not a summoning out of thin air, but rather the activation of his bloodline power that caused various strange phenomena to emerge.

Xuanming previously thought that the Great Heart Demon Oath was no big deal. Constructing an agreement could only deceive Zhang Xuezhou himself. The weak could hardly restrain the strong. He could abide by it if he wanted, or not if he didn't. He could just tear up the agreement without any consequences.

But Xuanming now felt that he couldn't take this matter lightly. Even if he didn't mention violating the ancestral witness, he couldn't be irresponsible towards his own body. Who knew what that strangely worded Heart Demon Oath had bound to his body?

He obviously couldn't act recklessly before he understood the situation.

In short, Xuanming felt that he had been tricked and swindled by his fellow Fortune Technique.

He even placed the mental bead he used for tasks into Ren Anran's body because he was so anxious about the symptoms that appeared in his main body.

He had already lost money before the collaboration with Zhang Xuezhou even began.
