Academics

"Do we need to input all the information about the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum?"

"Yes, it needs to include both the construction and style of the mausoleum!"

"It's truly unimaginable what your situation is like!"

Zhang Xuezhou's time back in North Rehe was not long, and he did not go anywhere else.

The path of continuously building stable control by advancing the impact sequence hierarchy, and even pursuing areas with a wide-ranging effect, has undoubtedly been delayed, leaving Zhang Xuezhou with no other options.

If he cannot significantly shorten the recovery time of his control over 'fast and slow' in order to complete the transportation of a large amount of food, or rescue the people trapped in the distorted state, he will also be unable to leave and will remain stranded in North Rehe.

While Zhang Xuezhou appears to be moving freely in and out of the distortion, he is actually bound as well.

Judging from the current situation, this binding relationship will likely last for a long time.

He could only carry everything he was supposed to, focusing as much as possible on the other world, and also seeking to push his Realm Technique upwards within that world.

Zhang Manqian kept transmitting data to his visual device, and Zhang Xuezhou even wanted to use his spare time these days to brush up on the engineering techniques for building ancient tombs.

As for scientific research and related activities, Zhang Xuezhou could only carry them out if it was possible to ensure the survival of many people.

After carrying a large amount of supplies again, he leaped through the twisted path.

With the release of control over 'fast and slow', the spatial turbulence perceived as slowly rotating fan blades. As long as one passes through before the blades cut down, all physical damage caused by the distortion can be avoided.

When Zhang Xuezhou regained his footing after a stumble, he saw that there were people just two meters away from where he had landed.

"Dinner's ready!"

After giving a dry laugh, Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the backpack on his chest and back, then looked at the items strapped to his arms and legs.

The Sixth Sequence did bring some benefits after all, improving physical attributes such as strength and jumping ability. This time, he carried nearly twice as many items as before, enough to ensure everyone had enough compressed food for the month.

"Old Badun said that the Ninth Sequence can possess multiple powers of control, and the Seventh Sequence can also touch upon powers of control. Can we learn your kind of control over 'fast and slow'?"

Li Qi, who was in the middle of the queue, hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively speaking.

"If you knew the origin of my control, you would know that it didn't stem from my own development, but rather from an abnormality in my body and the enlightenment I gained from contact with other cultivators," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The emergence of this control is both accidental and unrepeatable!"

"We've had extensive discussions during this period and have made initial progress and summaries regarding control and domain power!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou did not object to revealing his trump card, Li Qi continued to speak, and many people seemed to tacitly agree with Li Qi's statement.

"It seems everyone has developed an academic atmosphere," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency Badun and Your Excellency Naggs!"

"We just want to get out of here!"

Badun muttered something, while Naggs pursed his lips, looking equally helpless.

No one wants to reveal their hand, but even fewer people want to live such a miserable life.

Given the seemingly endless wait for Zhang Xuezhou's Ninth Sequence and Domain Power, everyone could only cooperate wholeheartedly.

The incident stemmed from a private discussion a few days prior. Montes Badun and others, a group of foreigners, gathered for a secret meeting. Before the discussion reached a conclusion, Ren Anran exposed their true colors.

This also provided an opportunity for the formation of an academic atmosphere, ultimately leading to a public discussion of the relevant content.

"Committee Member Ren doesn't deny that his control is closely related to the Mental Strengthening Chapter, while An Ran agrees that the spirit has a significant impact on control," Li Qi said. "And Lord Badun's nurturing method guided the birth of control and domain, while Nagus's brand divine mark brought the power of fire explosions!"

"Let's discuss this together. If everyone can control the speed at which they enter and exit this area, then it will be convenient for us all," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You... you're one too, come to think of it!"

Li Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Xuezhou, who appears to be free, is actually not so free. He probably secretly wishes that everyone could have the ability to come and go.

If the people locked up here were just ordinary people, it wouldn't be so bad. But among them are Ren Yisheng and Ren Anran, as well as many other people familiar with the situation. Zhang Xuezhou is also bound to this place, only able to wander around transporting supplies.

Zhang Xuezhou also had no reason to refuse to cooperate; if he were to discuss the matter, he would certainly be honest.

This caused everyone to exchange glances and almost simultaneously breathe a sigh of relief.

"If he can learn it, Badun will definitely be the first one to go out," Ren Yisheng reminded him with a smile.

"The northern region of the Aomeijia Alliance, covering 1.6 million square kilometers, has almost fallen," Zhang Xuezhou said. "That fire meteor creature's energy is greater than we imagined. It's a good thing that Lord Badun can go out and take charge!"

"What you're saying makes me not want to go out at all!"

Ren Yisheng's reminder made Badun's face turn somewhat gloomy, but Zhang Xuezhou's words made Badun sigh repeatedly.

Locked in this confined space, they have no freedom, but life outside won't be easy either.

If possible, Badun would prefer everyone to go out together and work together to help his Aomeijia Alliance, overcome the crisis, rather than leaving him to face the danger alone.

"Sir Badun, get out of here as soon as possible. The spider disaster is still manageable, but if these little creatures discover your hidden Dingkui, the consequences could be much more serious," Zhang Xuezhou warned.

"What you're saying makes me want to hide here!"

If going out would mean a carefree life, everyone would want to go.

If going out would mean facing danger, even certain death, Badun felt that whoever wanted to be the Grand Council Speaker could be, and whoever was willing to do the job of turning the tide could do it.

His hidden resources and treasures were very well concealed, but these hidden areas could only protect against people and beasts, not against the hundreds of millions of tiny spiders that were trying to find them.

If the truth is revealed, and ferocious beasts like Hu Yu are drawn out of Qinmeng, things will be completely different.

Badun's face twisted slightly, clearly indicating he was caught in a dilemma.

"Let's get out of here soon!"

Previously, Ren Yisheng had worried that Badun would be left unchecked after leaving. However, after Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief explanation, his vigilance turned into urging, which again provoked Badun to resist.

"You never ask me for good things, but you always push me onto the 'plugging the gun holes' job. You guys are even more despicable than that old devil Changkong Luo!"

Compared to Ren Yisheng and others, his old rival Changkong Luo was undoubtedly honest and kind, to the point of being somewhat endearing.

Badun sulked for a while until Ren Yisheng slowly chewed on a compressed biscuit while explaining the Mental Strengthening Chapter, at which point he had no choice but to concentrate and listen attentively.

After Ren Yisheng and the others finish their explanations, everyone will try their best to learn the relevant information. Then, they will save money and wait for Zhang Xuezhou to demonstrate his control over 'fast and slow' after a certain time travel cycle, so that they can learn everything in one go.

Those in the Seventh Sequence can seek control over 'fast and slow', those in the Ninth Sequence can seek multiple forms of control, and those in the Eighth Sequence seek to break through to the Ninth Sequence.

If even one person sets out a path, it can create a chain reaction that benefits the entire community.

Among the group, only Zhou Rihui, Sixth Sequence individual, seemed rather bewildered. Not meeting the requirements, he didn't know what to learn and could only dip some compressed biscuits in the poisonous herb juice and eat a few more bites.
