A Great Cultivator Begins Cultivating Anew
After greeting everyone in the Sinkhole No. 2, Zhang Xuezhou leaped into the twisted direction.
The scene before him quickly changed, and Zhang Xuezhou, now free from the Spiritual Qi environment, took a deep breath of fresh air.
The sensation of air entering his stomach was like moving from the living room into the kitchen; the normally breathing air stimulated every part of his body, causing Zhang Xuezhou to cough repeatedly.
"Is the transformation speed of that small world really that fast?"
Below the high platform, the Emperor, who had changed his name to Wang Hao, looked at Zhang Xuezhou with envy.
Moving from a place with a very good environment to a place with a poor environment will trigger this kind of respiratory response in Zhang Xuezhou.
North Rehe is not a Sacred Land for spiritual practice, but it is a quiet and secluded spot.
The fact that Zhang Xuezhou is in this state must be because the environment in the Sinkhole No. 2 is too good, which has triggered a sense of rejection in him.
"How come you're waiting downstairs so punctually?"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced down.
His comings and goings in recent months have been very irregular, and even though Zhang Manqian didn't wait around below, he was still somewhat surprised to see the Emperor.
"I got the top score in Western Capital City in the adult exam. My older sister said I don't need to go to school anymore. I've been studying Gene Sequence papers at the research institute every day recently. When I have free time, I come here to check on things, and that's how I met you," the Emperor said.
"You learn so fast and so well! I only got third place in the adult exam, much worse than you," Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed. "You've already reached the point of writing research papers!"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
The Emperor looked at Zhang Xuezhou with a complicated expression.
A great cultivator can avoid many detours when retraining, and the Emperor was previously full of confidence.
Even though he was mentally prepared, the Emperor never expected the mountain road to have so many twists and turns.
From the perspective of Gene Sequence standards, the Emperor believes that reaching the realm of re-derived Ninth Sequence is not difficult.
The problem is that his genes cannot control lightning, and there are currently no Gene Fighting Technique in his Gene Sequence that can control lightning.
If the basic requirements cannot be met, how can he develop the lightning domain?
If the Emperor were to adopt the Golden Elixir cultivation method, the environment for cultivation would be lacking here.
His current research paper aims to alter Gene Fighting Technique in order to obtain what he needs.
The more the Emperor studied, the further he realized he was getting from his goal, and that following the established procedures made it difficult to achieve it.
If Gene Fighting Technique do not meet his needs, he will stop at the Seventh Sequence at most.
"To be honest, I'm also having a headache about cultivation right now, An Ran is also stuck in the Sole Self Realm '," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.
"How did you manage to fuse Realm Technique with Gene Sequence?" the Emperor asked.
"This brings us to the sequence locks spearheaded by Luo Burang..."
After descending from the platform, Zhang Xuezhou walked back to the research institute, continuing his conversation with the Emperor.
Noticing someone watching him, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and waved to them, a gesture of greeting.
Zhang Xuezhou knew without even thinking that he had a lot of unresolved issues. Zhang Manqian would do some of them for him, but there were many things that Zhang Manqian couldn't do for him.
Zhang Xuezhou's situation has fluctuated greatly in the past six months. He hasn't been away from home much, making it difficult for him to handle related matters. He can only do what he needs to do or things that can be dealt with in the short term.
He will be able to communicate freely inside and outside the body only after everything returns to normal.
"Realm Technique, Sequence Locks, Gene Sequence... This Sequence Lock sounds a bit like an inner alchemy core? What is this infantile transformation you mentioned?"
The emperor felt overwhelmed just studying Gene Sequence.
When Zhang Xuezhou mentioned everyone's cultivation, the Emperor felt that everything was over.
Zhang Xuezhou and others are clearly creating a path of spiritual practice.
Normally, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't do this alone, but the coincidence lies in the fact that the current Gene Sequence is not yet fully defined, and Zhang Xuezhou has bound many people together to develop it, eventually forming a leader and continuously binding others into it.
The Emperor felt as if he himself was being bound.
The Emperor wouldn't mind becoming a part of it, but he couldn't afford to waste time. It was hard to see any hope on this path of cultivation that often required a generation or even several generations to pass on.
"I have a feeling this is going to end badly?"
As the Emperor walked from the enclosed area of Sinkhole No. 2 to the B13 Research Institute, listening to Zhang Xuezhou's continuous explanation, he felt that this journey would take longer than his entire life.
"To enter that small world, I need your control over 'fast and slow,' at least reaching the Eighth Sequence, or perhaps waiting until the Ninth Sequence to imitate it, or even until you step into the Ninth Sequence. Either I need to rely on Realm Technique and Mental Strengthening, but how can I cultivate Realm Technique without Spiritual Qi environment? If I choose only the Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique, it's difficult to reach the top. Mental Strengthening lacks external support and can only rely on long-term grinding, or it requires short-term stimulation through life-or-death experiences, which is harmful..."
The Emperor felt that a paradox had arisen in cultivation.
His current Gene Sequence is not suitable for developing his original field, and choosing other cultivation methods requires a Spiritual Qi environment, but these areas can only be entered if certain conditions are met.
Whether it's his own cultivation or his efforts to help Zhang Xuezhou improve his cultivation, these are difficult to achieve in the short term.
There are indeed many reasons why Zhang Manqian and others' cultivation practices were disorganized and substandard.
Given Zhang Xuezhou and the others' qualifications, the Emperor felt that it was already quite impressive that they had reached this point.
If the Emperor were to descend upon this world alone, his expertise in demon core cultivation would lead him to a dead end. Forget about short-term gains; even long-term plans would be difficult to achieve.
"Take your time to think it over. I can accommodate any needs you have. If I'm not available, just message Li Yingbo, and he'll do everything he can to meet your requirements!"
Zhang Xuezhou returned to the research institute. His monitor contained some materials that Zhang Manqian had recently compiled, as well as Zhang Manqian's mention of promoting cultivation at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.
"If you really can't wait to enter that small world, you can choose to see if there are fortuitous opportunity on Qin Meng's side!"
"I've heard of Qinmeng; that's the origin of genetic materials!"
It is very difficult to achieve great success in cultivation in the North Rehe, but the North Rehe is not the only option in the world.
Besides the North Rehe, many Fire Meteor creatures chose Qinmeng as their development area, and there must be a reason for that choice.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that once the Emperor possessed certain abilities, he could conduct a moderate search, perhaps finding some convenient conditions for cultivation.
He began by mentioning some of the dangers facing Qin Meng, introducing not only fire meteor creatures like Hu Yu and Hu Hao, but also Hu Yu's 'Ding Kui,' a powerful domain-type treasure that was extremely rare, even astonishing the Emperor.
"That Badun we sent to the research institute last time actually got the top prize?"
Upon hearing that Badun had obtained the title of Dingkui, the Emperor felt that he had underestimated this short-statured Sequence Holder with a piece of flesh cut off from the sole of his foot.
"If he successfully nurtures him, wouldn't he be able to rampage around with the Dingkui sword?"
Zhang Xuezhou also introduced Badun's nurturing technique, a nurturing method different from that used in sacrificial Law Treasure, which amazed the emperor.
Qin Meng's fortuitous opportunity did not lie in acquiring any exotic or ferocious beasts, nor in obtaining one or two Qin Meng Secret Stones that could dissipate Spiritual Qi.
The real fortuitous opportunity lies with the fiery meteor beings that corrupt Qin Meng. These beings originate from different worlds and possess the cultivation advantages of their respective worlds.
The hidden fortuitous opportunity are what these beings are pursuing; what exactly are they looking for in Qin Meng, and can they benefit from it?
The Emperor had previously thought that cultivation was a predictable path, but after Zhang Xuezhou gave Qin Meng a detailed introduction, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
If one cannot benefit from the small world for the time being, and does not want to spend all day in the research institute conducting research on Gene Sequence theory, then going to Qinmeng after reaching the Seventh Sequence is indeed an option.
