Cultivation Sacred Land
"The origin seems to be modifiable!"
A giant rock that had been burned to almost nothing but metallic iron was transformed into Spirit Stone —a transformation that was extremely bizarre.
The rich Spiritual Qi brought a pleasant fragrance, and Zhang Xuezhou felt his mind clear up a bit.
Fighting for the power of origin is definitely not about doing good deeds. If creatures like Hu Yu overcome numerous difficulties and dangers just to obtain the origin of the Great World and then turn a barren mountain into a sacred mountain, that would be absurd.
"How did the origin come about? Why is it there, and why does it guide such earth-shattering changes?"
Zhang Xuezhou felt that there were many things he didn't understand.
If it becomes necessary to stop creatures like tigers from causing trouble in the future, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he would be acting without a clear understanding of the situation, and it would be more like a blind act of stopping an opponent.
If the opponent, after obtaining the source, were to do good deeds, why would he stop such a phenomenon?
If creatures like tigers and tigresses engage in other harmful behaviors after acquiring the source, he should at least understand the process and its positive impact on these creatures.
"Could this be eaten?"
If he were that boulder, Zhang Xuezhou would find it hard to imagine what kind of changes would occur if the power of the sphere were applied to him.
But even a breath can cause storms and upheavals, the power contained within is terrifying.
This is merely the origin of this small world; if placed in the larger external world, it might be a completely different matter.
When this power acts on the body, Zhang Xuezhou feels that if it cannot bring about a qualitative change in the body, it will inevitably lead to an instantaneous collapse.
"Let's see if we have a chance to follow Tiger Yu around and find out what's really going on!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about Qin Meng, then about Nags and Badun.
Nagoth's past identity was not of a high level, and it is very likely that he did not even originate from the Outer Heavens. His only desire was to obtain a divine stone to achieve pseudo-immortality.
The long staff behind Badun has been passed down for thirty-three generations, but none of them have accomplished anything significant, so Zhang Xuezhou didn't have any expectations for Badun.
He pondered the tiger breeding in Qin Mengzhong's mind, and also thought about Xuanming, who was connected through the Golden Turtle of Fortune, to see if he could obtain relevant information from these beings.
"Hongjun should know the accurate information, but he forgets everything every time he travels into that world. It might require my mental strength to withstand his suppression in order to avoid forgetting anything related to him!"
Zhang Xuezhou had a lot of things to look for Hongjun, but not only could he not find Hongjun, he also forgot about them.
Even if he records things on bamboo slips, he subconsciously ignores the bamboo slips containing relevant information in his Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag, only remembering them when he encounters certain events.
It must be said that this is an extremely good mental ability, which Zhang Xuezhou has repeatedly forgotten.
"Could it be that he has grasped the essence of that world, and the power of his domain, when covering that essence, produced an unexpected effect?"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about how one step he could take would directly lead to the edge of the lake, and felt that perhaps such a thing was possible.
Zhang Xuezhou found it hard to imagine why Hongjun, after acquiring the Origin, didn't do good deeds, such as significantly increasing the Spiritual Qi of the entire world, which would benefit everyone, or exploring other wonderful uses, even just bringing rain to arid regions, which would be considered a great act of merit.
What Hongjun couldn't do, this small world has already begun to do.
Compared to the previously thin Spiritual Qi, the current Spiritual Qi is so rich that it produces a faint fragrance. If it goes any further, it will be the effect of the Spirit Gathering Formation of the Eastern Mountain Mausoleum.
However, the area covered by Spiritual Qi here is more than ten thousand times larger than the palace in Dongshan, and the number of people it can support is far greater than just a few.
Cultivation in such a Spiritual Qi environment is twice as effective. If one stands in front of the giant Spirit Stone that has been transformed into something far away, the Spiritual Qi will be even more abundant, making it extremely suitable for developing techniques that require a very high amount of Spiritual Qi energy.
For example, the Yang Soul Transformation Technique, or the advancement of the Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique.
In this area, every moment of cultivation produces effects dozens or even hundreds of times greater than ordinary cultivation, making it invaluable even for breaking through to higher realms.
"Such rich Spiritual Qi! I almost thought you had disappeared!"
Zhang Xuezhou stood by the lake for several minutes when Ren Anran, whose spirit was roaming freely, approached from behind the giant rock.
Unlike Zhang Xuezhou and others, Ren Anran's nascent soul is interconnected with her physical body and soul. As long as she doesn't encounter anything that requires concentration or spatial isolation, she can easily control both at the same time.
"I grasped the Origin and took a single step, and I arrived here," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The Origin vanished, turning the giant rocks there into spirit jade!"
"Absolutely incredible!"
Ren Anran whispered something.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it equally hard to believe.
"This ability is somewhat similar to fossilization, but the things it creates are far more practical," Zhang Xuezhou sighed.
"This boulder is of much higher quality than the Qinmeng Secret Stone we obtained," Ren Anran said.
"It's much larger, and perhaps it even connects to the underground rock layers!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
The enormous spirit jade that they had once sought after with great difficulty was now laid out before them. Even though Zhang Xuezhou and the others had considerable experience, the impact was still immense.
The impact of this giant spirit jade will be enormous.
Its effects are most direct, involving cultivation, planting spirit medicine herbs and plants, and these effects last for a relatively long time.
Simply put, this place will become a top-tier Sacred Land for spiritual practice.
Even if there is nothing here, those who possess the power to enter and exit will inevitably build around this place, thus continuously developing it.
Even without Realm Technique, some people can come to adjust their physical ailments.
This place will change many people, including Zhang Xuezhou himself.
The drawbacks of the Realm Technique being unsuitable for the real world will be minimized. His cultivation in this world may have a chance to surpass that of the other world again, and even provide a reference for the other world.
"I suddenly feel a sense of bewilderment at suddenly becoming rich," Ren Anran rarely complained.
"It's a case of 'after hardship comes happiness,'" Zhang Xuezhou said. "Donghua has left us some legacy!"
"Can we beat him?" Ren Anran asked.
"Before, I lacked confidence and thought about hiding, taking a beating, finding someone to help me delay, and even considering a sneak attack," Zhang Xuezhou said, holding up five fingers. "Now, my confidence has increased by at least 50%!"
Zhang Xuezhou had previously fought alone. His cultivation had reached the limit of the Yin-Yang School Realm Technique, and his various methods had developed to the point of Divine Ability powers. The upper limit of his abilities was only that high.
The spirit wood staff from Fangzhang Island was an unexpected gain, but it also gave Zhang Xuezhou the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But Zhang Xuezhou's greater hopes stemmed from Ren Anran.
Ren Anran has a high level of judgment regarding the risks of cultivation. If they cooperate to find a way to improve their Realm Technique and reach the True Self Realm, and Zhang Xuezhou can continue along this path, he will most likely be able to bring himself up to the same level as Donghua.
If Donghua's Realm Technique had reached the True Self, Zhang Xuezhou hoped that Donghua would possess the formidable strength he suspected, lest his years of anxiety and frustration have been in vain.
