Control and Domain in Common

Zhang Xuezhou has always believed that Gene Sequence and Realm Technique have nothing in common.

These two represent two different paths of spiritual cultivation.

But as he entered the Sole Self Realm, his senses underwent a complete transformation.

The cultivation methods remained different, but the Realm Technique and Gene Sequence produced common phenomena.

The situation of 'fast and slow' that he was imitating, which was a manifestation of his spiritual power mimicking the pull of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, reappeared.

Zhang Xuezhou was all too familiar with this feeling.

In this state of 'fast and slow', everything around remains unchanged, but his individual speed will increase to an extremely considerable level.

Everything he does will be rapidly folded, appearing to others as a change completed in an instant.

Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat surprised by his situation, after all, this was the first time he had experienced 'fast and slow' in this world.

In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, 'Fast and slow' is a kind of control, and also an ability that the Eighth Sequence of the Gene Sequence should possess.

The Realm Technique are only divided into Divine Ability, Divine Ability, and major Divine Ability.

Even Zhang Xuezhou's Divine Ability powers were Grain Avoidance Instruction, which had no real connection to 'fast and slow'.

"Could it be that the Grain Avoidance Instruction excels at rapid eating and prolonged starvation, thus triggering this control?"

If one absolutely had to deduce a connection, Zhang Xuezhou could only do so in this direction.

His unique Grain Avoidance Instruction was pushing his Divine Ability towards the limit of the Sole Self Realm" acupoint, and the speed at which it was being violently propelled was astonishing.

This kind of impetus is similar to the situation where the Spiritual Qi of the Xieluosi River Holy Land flows back and connects and opens up a large number of acupoints, tending towards the middle stage of the Grain Avoidance Instruction. After Zhang Xuezhou Divine Ability the Grain Avoidance Instruction, he brought unparalleled cultivation speed.

This even gave rise to the ability to control 'fast and slow'.

Although he didn't know if it was truly related to the Grain Avoidance Instruction, Zhang Xuezhou did feel it.

He raised his hands, feeling for the first time that he could control his ability to be 'fast and slow,' instead of relying on luck or the guidance of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's scepter, as was the case in reality.

"The mid-level Divine Ability Technique Method of cultivators at the Sole Self Realm seem to be..."

Zhang Xuezhou also had some questions in his mind.

He had come into contact with many cultivators at the Sole Self Realm, and even some at the True Self Realm, and he knew very well that not every cultivator possessed the ability to control power.

Some Technique Method at the Sole Self Realm even have terrible spells, showing no sign of mastery.

However, there are also some 'fake' cultivators among the True Self Realm cultivators, and the difference in combat skills among cultivators is extremely large.

The strong, such as the Emperor, control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, while the weak can be fought by cultivators of the Sole Self Realm who are beyond their realm.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously believed that this situation was due to cultivators going astray when Spirit Transformation, resulting in significant differences in their actual combat. He belatedly realized that this might be closely related to whether cultivators developed control or other powers when choosing their Divine Ability abilities.

Some cultivators have reached a certain level, but they haven't developed the corresponding control, let alone the ability to influence an entire area like an emperor.

Having witnessed Badun's domain abilities, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Emperor's control over wind, rain, thunder, and lightning could also be categorized as a domain.

Cultivation here shows commonalities; the control of Gene Sequence and domains are also presented in Realm Technique, even showing a similar outcome despite different paths.

"Disperse!"

As he began to struggle to control his speed, Zhang Xuezhou mentally commanded that his ability to control his pace would quickly dissipate.

Congratulations to Zhang Shengzi on achieving his wish!

The sound of the Jade Emperor clapping and congratulating them rang out, and the clouds in front of Zhang Xuezhou quickly dissipated.

So this is what you look like!

The Jade Emperor's laughter echoed, and Zhang Xuezhou, feeling somewhat embarrassed, picked up the golden mask that had fallen to the ground.

The divine robes that were bestowed upon him could change size according to his body, but the golden mask covering his face did not have this ability and had fallen off at some point.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty, which allowed me to barely break through to the Sole Self Realm," Zhang Xuezhou said, clasping his hands in gratitude.

"This was originally promised to you," the Jade Emperor nodded, then asked suspiciously, "You entered the Sole Self Realm so smoothly, why did you choose to consume that poisonous herb, Locking Yang? If I'm not mistaken, your body is currently surging with Law Power, but your hands are unable to draw upon even a fraction of Law Power, rendering you unable to unleash any of your strength!"

"I also have the ability to intimidate from a higher realm!"

"Then you can only be invincible in the Sixth Realm!"

The Jade Emperor made a joke at Zhang Xuezhou's expense.

Zhang Xuezhou cannot use his Law Power, but he can indeed use the deterrent power of Zhang Xuezhou realm. The deterrent power of the Self-Mastery Sole Self Realm is a level higher than that of the Divine Ability Realm.

It's easy for a cultivator in the Sole Self Realm to suppress cultivators below the Divine Ability Realm, but it's rather pathetic for a cultivator in the Sole Self Realm to beat up a cultivator two realms lower than themselves.

Zhang Xuezhou was telling the truth, but the Jade Emperor felt that Zhang Xuezhou shouldn't be so foolish as to make such a choice.

"I'm quite curious about your Central Divine Ability Divine Ability. Don't you need Law Power to use it?" The Jade Emperor laughed. "Technique Method that's worth giving up so much for and going to such lengths to ensure must be quite interesting!"

"If you're curious, feel free to guess. This is my livelihood, and I can't just say it carelessly!"

Zhang Xuezhou politely declined, then bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in greeting.

Having finished dealing with his efforts to break through to a higher cultivation level, he didn't plan to linger in the Lingxiao Palace any longer.

Affected by the grand formation of Lingxiao Palace, Zhang Xuezhou lost track of how much time had passed.

If he could take his leave as soon as possible, Zhang Xuezhou very much hoped to leave immediately to avoid causing any uncontrollable troubles.

He needed to find a quiet place to gnaw on the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root and try to release the locked power in his body as much as possible.

A piece of spirit silk jade lotus root relieved Zhang Xuezhou of 80% of his magical Law Power when he was in the Divine Ability Realm, and also relieved the remaining 20% of his Demon Power. At this moment, he was not confident in how much help the half piece of spirit silk jade lotus root would provide, after all, his cultivation level had already improved.

Zhang Xuezhou only wanted to leave as soon as possible to recover his Law Power and Demon Power and get down to business, as he was really pressed for time.

Only by striking before the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could issue their orders and send messages, could Zhang Xuezhou obtain what he desired using this garment.

"Oh?"

When Zhang Xuezhou was about to take his leave, the Jade Emperor smiled.

There was no shortage of mutual suspicion when he first met Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou never saw his true face clearly, and the Jade Emperor never saw the real face behind Zhang Xuezhou's mask.

He had originally thought Zhang Xuezhou would be a middle-aged man in his forties, but he never expected that Zhang Xuezhou looked so young.

This youthfulness is not maintained by elixirs or Technique Method, but rather because the person's physical age is truly very young, so young that the Jade Emperor repeatedly doubted that he had misjudged them.

"What reward will I receive for guessing correctly?" the Jade Emperor asked with a smile.

"No, no," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly, "My health is severely compromised right now, and I'm poor and destitute. I can no longer offer any rewards for solving riddles!"

"I am very interested in your method of cultivation. If you tell me about it, I will give you a good reward," said the Jade Emperor.

"Will your reward unlock Yang's poison?" Zhang Xuezhou asked hopefully.

"I cannot do that!"

The Jade Emperor shook his head.

He watched as Zhang Xuezhou's face quickly shifted from anticipation to disappointment, then returned to calm. He then bowed again with utmost politeness and took his leave. He no longer tried to stop Zhang Xuezhou, since Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method had been gradually forgotten by the power sealed within the Jade Disc of Creation, and it was indeed impossible to discuss cultivation matters at the moment.

"That's interesting!"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand, and the clouds and mist around the Lingxiao Palace dispersed, revealing a passage.

He watched Zhang Xuezhou walk out of the passage, then looked at the jade disc in his hand, and then at the imperial edict.

Although he was able to summon Erlang True Lord to the Lingxiao Palace, and this great immortal who was related to the Haotian Emperor as uncle and nephew was well aware of the strongest body-refining technique in Kunlun, the Jade Emperor was still worried that he wouldn't be able to get a clear answer from him.

He felt it was still necessary to keep an eye on Zhang Xuezhou, in case the other party practiced some forgotten Technique Method again, which might be useful to the Creation Jade Disc in his possession.
