Divine Lord Zhenyuan Descends the Mountain

Daoist Hongjun is the Emperor's old rival and old enemy.

The Emperor's understanding of Daoist Hongjun far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Normally, Daoist Hongjun should be a taboo in the Kunlun Sacred Land, but the Emperor's mind is obviously not so narrow. He not only generously admitted that he was inferior to others, but also described Hongjun's power to Divine Lord Zhenyuan and others.

"Having unleashed a technique at Daoist Hongjun, it's easy to forget about this very ability you possess?"

"Indeed, Daoist Hongjun's whereabouts are unknown, but he has three outstanding disciples: Yuanshi, Laojun, Lingbao. If you could gain the assistance of just one of them, your chances of success might be much greater!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan mentioned with great interest the three outstanding disciples of Daoist Hongjun, who are also the three leading figures of the Immortal Court today.

Normally, it would be almost impossible for Zhang Xuezhou to achieve this.

However, the century-long agreement brought a glimmer of hope. As long as Zhang Xuezhou could defeat the young expert sent by the Immortal Court, he could ask for a reasonable spoil of war. Zhang Xuezhou Divine Lord Zhenyuan thought that such a request should not be a problem.

The only problem is that Zhang Xuezhou needs to win.

He would occasionally introduce the unique characteristics of the three Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi, Laojun, and Lingbao, and try his best to determine who had received a similar True Disciple from Daoist Hongjun.

Zhang Xuezhou's heart stirred, and with the help of Divine Lord Zhenyuan's words after much thought, he finally remembered his need for Zixiao Palace.

It was a rare moment for Zhang Xuezhou to recall something he had forgotten. Instead of waiting for it to be forgotten again, he took a bamboo slip and carefully wrote it down.

"You've taken this record very seriously," Divine Lord Zhenyuan, clearly misunderstanding the situation. He then chuckled and said, "The Emperor said that this Daoist Hongjun cultivates the technique of severing the three corpses, which will obliterate everything related to him in the past, present, and future. This will cause others to forget the present if they don't remember the past, and they will also forget the future, making it difficult for them to remember him. They might even forget that they need to take action when trying to defeat him!"

"His ability is outrageous!"

"If Daoist Hongjun could lend you a hand, you could complete the testing and verification process in one go, without even needing the Emperor's Haotian Divine Mirror. But he is nowhere to be found, so for now you can only seek the methods of the three Heavenly Venerables," said Divine Lord Zhenyuan. "You can ask the Emperor about this matter and see if he can determine which of the three Heavenly Venerables has inherited this ability!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan had limited knowledge of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables, and he found it difficult to make a judgment. He could only suggest that Zhang Xuezhou consult the Emperor more, so as not to ask the wrong person for help after winning against the Immortal Court.

"Thank you for your guidance, Divine Lord!"

Zhang Xuezhou valued the potential assistance from the three Heavenly Venerables highly, but he placed even greater emphasis on the name mentioned by Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

The memories hidden in his mind finally resonated, reminding Zhang Xuezhou of things he had forgotten.

He took out a bamboo slip with the three characters "Zixiao Palace" written on it, then wrote Hongjun's name on it, and briefly recorded his efforts to seek communication between the two worlds before carefully storing the bamboo slip away.

Zhang Xuezhou thanked Divine Lord Zhenyuan Divine Lord Zhenyuan, who returned the greeting with a bow.

"Your cultivation is extraordinary, and I look forward to your future Technique Method Divine Ability," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said with a smile.

"It's still a long way off!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile as well.

The second stage of Divine Ability Technique Method requires entering the Sole Self Realm. His Realm Technique had been fused ahead of time, making further advancement difficult. Even with the ' Human Pill ', it would be hard to break through to the Sole Self Realm. Ren Anran needs to explore the path.

Zhang Xuezhou's most pressing task is to remove the seal that Suoyang places on his cultivation and magical Law Power.

He needs to be physically normal before he can think about anything else.

Zhang Xuezhou spoke the truth, Divine Lord Zhenyuan, who knew his situation, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"It seems that what you said about seeking a change in the Realm Technique of Qi Refiners is related to this," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said.

"Speaking of which, I recently learned of a technique and method for improving one's cultivation level. Could you take a look and see if it's feasible..."

The Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique is so common that Zhang Xuezhou doesn't hesitate to spread it around. Besides, the Venerable One's initial purpose in preaching was to gather everyone's strength for reflection.

He explained the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique to Divine Lord Zhenyuan, a technique that drew repeated praises from Divine Lord Zhenyuan, who even showed a desire to try it out.

But when Zhang Xuezhou explained the technique of transforming into an infant, Divine Lord Zhenyuan's expression became solemn.

"Only after swallowing a golden pill did I realize that my fate was no longer in my own hands!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan murmured to himself, his hand involuntarily moving towards his abdomen.

The Immortal Court is a cultivation force primarily focused on Qi Refining, while the Heavenly Court is a cultivation force primarily focused on Golden Core Cultivation.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan cultivated the Great Dao Golden Core Technique.

In the eyes of top-tier cultivators, they were indeed walking medicine pills, no different from many great demons.

However, the Golden Core Technique has always had a flaw: if someone sneaks up and locks the collarbone, one's cultivation level will be completely rendered useless.

Very few cultivators are able to leave the Kunlun Sacred Land and establish their own independent territory. Most cultivators are either loyal to the Heavenly Court or afraid to leave alone, thus spending their entire lives in the Kunlun Sacred Land in solitude.

From the idea that one's fate can be changed by the Golden Elixir, to the notion that one's fate is no longer in one's own hands after transforming into a Golden Elixir, the art of the Golden Elixir experienced its glory days and then its decline.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou mention that the gathering and dispersing of the nascent soul could be controlled by the mind, Divine Lord Zhenyuan's mind was almost completely absorbed.

"Once this method is mastered, wouldn't all the drawbacks be eliminated, and our strength would be even greater!"

Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation method has not yet been fully mastered, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan has indeed seen hope.

There must be one variable involved!

The Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique and the Great Dao Golden Elixir Technique cannot be directly merged; a bridge needs to be built.

Just like the combination of Zhang Xuezhou's physical body technique and the Dharma Heaven technique, and the way Zhang Xuezhou's Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique and physical body technique avoid conflict, the shadow of the third Dao technique is indispensable in all of them.

However, to transform the elixir into an infant, a variable must be introduced to allow these two seemingly unrelated things to merge.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan possessed a wide range of knowledge, but what he learned consisted of various classic texts from the Heavenly Court a thousand years ago. Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, had acquired contemporary Technique Method and Qi cultivation methods. This forced Divine Lord Zhenyuan to turn his attention to Technique Method that had emerged in recent times in order to be able to solve the problem from Zhang Xuezhou's perspective.

Having fulfilled the Empress Dowager's request, Divine Lord Zhenyuan once thought it would be difficult for him to return to the Great Han Dynasty. However, he was currently feeling somewhat restless and wanted to travel east to seek out the arts of various schools of thought, to see if there were any 'variables' he needed.

What variable?

"I don't know what the variable is, but there must be a variable to trigger the fusion, thus replacing the Qi Refining and Golden Core techniques!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan stood up.

Having gained a false lifespan through the Longevity Fruit Tree, he could only guard the Soul-Severing Ridge secret realm and eke out a living, his life no different from that in the Kunlun secret realm.

He is no longer in a hurry to extend his lifespan, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan does need to reduce the number of people who covet him, perhaps to eliminate the drawbacks or to become stronger.

The Nascent Soul Transformation Technique mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou possesses both of these qualities. After hearing this, Divine Lord Zhenyuan couldn't resist the urge to pursue this path as well.

Before Zhang Xuezhou had even left Broken Soul Ridge to return to the Great Han Dynasty, Divine Lord Zhenyuan already had the idea of leaving to search eastward.
