Donghua's World
"Is this Sinkhole No. 2?"
Follow the directional signs from the tree-chair area.
When Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes, he found himself in a world bathed in vibrant red light.
There was no thick smoke, no towering black stone pillars stretching for twenty miles, and no red-hot stones covering the ground.
Patches of dark red grass grew, strange trees with sharp thorns provided shade, and raindrops drifted like silk threads. The whole world was no longer lifeless, but full of vitality.
"You're finally awake!"
Ren Anran's voice came through, and Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.
"Your injuries are quite severe. I've forgotten the Supreme Purity True Technique, and my father's level of the Supreme Purity True Technique is too low. He's also somewhat delirious right now, making it difficult for him to heal you!"
A burning pain shot through him, and a head drew near, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to clearly see Ren Anran's face.
"How could an explosion of fire suddenly change this world?"
Ren Anran lifted Ren Yisheng, who was lying on the ground, and listened to Ren Yisheng muttering as if he were possessed. Zhang Xuezhou was at a loss.
Several voices were whispering nearby, but Ren Anran didn't force anyone's heads towards her.
Although he didn't understand the situation, everything was much better than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined.
He took several deep breaths, and the purple Law Power energy on his fingers began to condense.
The light of the Supreme Purity True Technique then enveloped his entire body.
Only then did Zhang Xuezhou realize the severity of his injuries.
If I'm not mistaken, he likely suffered systemic damage, his body probably a mangled mess, or he may have suffered severe burns.
The feeling of weakness spread throughout his body in a short time, causing Zhang Xuezhou to quickly stop casting spells and switch to the Grain Avoidance Instruction.
"How come there's Spiritual Qi in this sinkhole?"
The Grain Avoidance Instruction worked much better than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined; it almost felt like another world was operating.
This is not because Zhang Xuezhou's actual Grain Avoidance Instruction have greatly improved, but because his environment is too good.
The once barren and desolate place has been transformed into Sacred Land of Spiritual Qi, Grain Avoidance Instruction rapidly repairing Zhang Xuezhou's internal weakness by drawing energy from the outside world.
He propped himself up from the ground, and saw patches of charred skin peeling off his body, with black bruises oozing out through the new skin. His swollen body gradually returned to normal.
"I told you Brother Zhang has the Thur magic; if he can lift him up, all of you can!"
When Zhou Rihui's boisterous voice came over, Zhang Xuezhou realized that there was almost a row of people lying on the ground, including Ren Yisheng, who was in a daze.
Those who did not reach the top of the Soul-Locking Pillar survived, while those who followed Zhang Xuezhou in the charge were severely injured.
"Can divine magic also heal the ninth... Ninth Sequence?"
Badun gasped for breath before he could finish his sentence.
Looking at Badun, whose appearance was still recognizable, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the other party was quite resilient and his injuries should be much lighter than his own.
"I'm currently struggling to penetrate the protective energy field around your body, so the healing isn't very effective!"
Zhang Xuezhou gathered his energy and spirit, unleashing the Supreme Purity True Technique, with purple light and the pale yellow glow appearing on Badun's body constantly intertwining.
Although the Supreme Purity True Technique is a healing Technique Method, it still requires physical erosion and carries a high risk of serious health consequences.
Badun's physical instincts clearly rejected this kind of Technique Method.
A Supreme Purity True Technique, capable of healing the injuries of Seventh Sequence, was unleashed. Badun's body was enveloped in a pale yellow glow, and the Technique Method's power was reduced to a mere fraction, failing to even stop the bleeding from his wounds.
"What about the Eighth Sequence Eighth Sequence? Can it be treated?"
Nagos's urgent voice rang out, and Zhang Xuezhou looked at the injured man whose body was barely recognizable as human.
"My sequence strength isn't enough; healing Eighth Sequence is a bit difficult!"
Shortly afterward, Zhang Xuezhou also unleashed a Supreme Purity True Technique, and Nagos quickly gave up hope.
Not to mention Nagos and Chimmon Hagrid in the Eighth Sequence, Ren Yisheng was in the same situation and did not receive effective treatment even though Zhang Xuezhou regained consciousness.
The real Zhang Xuezhou is clearly quite different from his counterpart in the other world. He has never fully Divine Ability the Supreme Purity True Technique, as this Technique Method has an upper limit.
The effects of forgetfulness experienced by Zhang Xuezhou have also spread into the real world.
If he hadn't studied the scriptures he had previously practiced in the Rong Household's study, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't even have been able to use the Supreme Purity True Technique.
"Zhou Rihui has been bragging for so long, but after you got up, you couldn't treat the injured and didn't need to treat the uninjured. All that work has been for nothing!"
Chimon Haig muttered a complaint, followed by Changkong Yinghao's indignant accusation that Chimon Haig hadn't participated at all and had performed poorly in the battle against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.
"I'm already this old, and you still want me to risk my life... Why don't you find a few more elderly people to risk their lives..."
Chimmon Hagrid muttered to himself, judging from his spirit and energy, he wouldn't die anytime soon.
This is not simply due to the tenacity of Chimmon Hagrid and others, but rather because Spiritual Qi itself has the ability to heal injuries.
If there is a sufficient supply of Spiritual Qi, even without healing Technique Method, Chimmon Hagrid and others may be able to heal themselves.
Zhang Xuezhou explained several times before he managed to calm people down.
"Did you do this recently?"
Zhang Xuezhou turned to what everyone was busy with and saw a rough altar built of huge stones.
The altar was surrounded by solemn, red-skinned undead, who stood like statues around it, as if they would only speak when the altar was in operation.
"This was completed under the guidance of that duck that was begging for its life," Ren Anran nodded. "It said that this was constructed according to Donghua's description and should be able to pull you back. The final test was successful, but it disappeared on its own!"
"Donghua?"
"Its former owner!"
Only now did Zhang Xuezhou learn the name of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.
A name may not matter, but after years of scheming and backstabbing, if you don't even know the other person's name, things can indeed get confusing.
Where is that staff?
Zhang Xuezhou looked around at everyone.
The Sinkhole No. 2 has changed drastically, and no one knows why. Zhang Xuezhou doesn't plan to study it at the moment.
A long time has passed; almost a month has gone by since they decided to kill Donghua.
Reducing physical activity, relying on Spiritual Qi energy for sustenance, drinking murky rainwater, and consuming small amounts of compressed biscuits cannot sustain life for long, especially since the construction of this altar as required must have expended a considerable amount of physical energy.
It's even possible that Ren Anran made a quick and decisive decision, which enabled her to accomplish this task.
Zhang Xuezhou stared at the altar, searching for the scepter that once belonged to Donghua.
Only by obtaining the scepter can he unleash the 'fast and slow' realms, thus enabling normal entry and exit from this place.
"The sky is azure, the earth murky, and chaotic energy flows endlessly—is this the world beyond the heavens?"
Ren Anran and the others had not found the scepter. Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to search around, he heard the Emperor's spirit whispering in his ear.
The Emperor lacks a physical body, but his wisdom remains.
After asking several questions, and with the Emperor pointing out several places, Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou realized that the Sinkhole No. 2 was somewhat similar to the scene of the Zhuang family's Law Treasure covering the sky and the earth.
The Law Treasure cloth operates on a simulated basis, making it difficult to continuously deduce and change. However, in the Sinkhole No. 2, the real world is constantly cycling, presenting a scene of chaos in the ancient world.
