Invited to the Guan River Mouth
No creation can be built out of thin air. Zhang Xuezhou doesn't mind learning from others, especially since the other party is a top-level cultivator who practices body refinement.
"Your master is Master Puxian? And he practices the Taishang Sandong Shenzhu?"
"Your master is Manjushri True Person? And you practice the Taishang Chiwen Dongshen Sanlu?"
Li Tianwang was still somewhat secretive, but Jinzha and Muzha didn't have that kind of intention.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra were once among the twelve immortals under the tutelage of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable. Zhang Xuezhou, who held the Twelve Immortals' Token, was regarded as one of their own, and even Zhang Xuezhou a higher position.
Zhang Xuezhou was very interested in the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, and he also inquired about the cultivation methods of Jinzha and Muzha.
The methods these two used to cultivate physical immortality belonged to the Five Elements arts and also contained elements of evasion techniques, ultimately resulting in a situation where achieving physical immortality was neither entirely feasible nor entirely impossible.
If one does not know how to restrain them, Jinzha and Muzha would seem invincible to cultivators unfamiliar with their foundations.
If one understands the drawbacks of their respective methods, Jinzha and Muzha's weaknesses become quite severe, leaving them only able to rely on their own martial arts or Technique Method to fight against their enemies.
This also led to Jinzha and Muzha having a rather awkward position in the Immortal Court; despite their physical attainment of sainthood, they were difficult to be listed as top-tier combatants.
"Too many people know our background, so we're just ordinary people," Jinzha said with a wry smile.
"Our cultivation level in this life is almost fixed; no matter how much we cultivate, it's difficult to break through our limits," Mu Zha said. "Father still has a powerful pagoda to fight with, so we can only run errands for him!"
Jinzha and Muzha didn't care that another person knew about their weaknesses. After all, times had changed, and their secret of being powerful was known to most people, if not everyone.
"Manjushri and Samantabhadra went to the Western Sect to seek a different path, why didn't you two follow suit?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
"Teacher... the teacher seems to be even less capable than us, doesn't he?"
Jinzha glanced at Muzha and asked again, prompting Muzha to nod helplessly.
They achieved immortality and eternal life through physical cultivation, while Manjushri and Samantabhadra only managed to survive a second life by chance and are still in the developmental stage of their spiritual practice.
Even if the two were willing to learn, Manjushri and Samantabhadra found it difficult to teach them.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra's current abilities are limited, so even if Jinzha and Muzha have their weaknesses, they are still likely to defeat Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Even if they are restrained, they can still fight to a standstill.
"Each person's cultivation path has its own destiny, Spirit Transformation are truly beyond words," Zhang Xuezhou sighed.
"There are fewer and fewer cultivators with the potential for cultivation; most of them are just a flash in the pan before disappearing," Jinzha said.
"Without immortality, all your efforts are in vain," Muzha nodded and said, "Shuoxian, your flying skills are impressive, but you still need to pay more attention to health preservation and longevity in the future, lest your painstaking cultivation be in vain!"
"I'm also currently cultivating my physical body," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "To see if I can find an fortuitous opportunity to achieve immortality!"
Zhang Xuezhou spoke as usual.
If someone else had said that, Jinzha and Muzha would have certainly complained. After all, there have been fewer than ten people who have achieved sainthood in the last thousand years, so how could they expect to succeed so easily?
But Zhang Xuezhou, who obtained the Yuanshi Decree of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, might indeed be different.
Upon hearing that Zhang Xuezhou was also cultivating his physical body, everyone couldn't help but be extremely curious about the level of Zhang Xuezhou physical body cultivation.
When Zhang Xuezhou took Muzha's Wu Hook Sword and slashed it twice in his palm, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
"You're impervious to swords and blades, impressive skill!"
"His skill is truly remarkable. I haven't seen a cultivator who isn't afraid of the sharpness of Wu Gou's blade in a long time!"
"They're only slightly inferior to our physical bodies!"
Jinzha and Muzha praised him repeatedly, and even Li Tianwang couldn't help but scoff.
"We all possess physical bodies for cultivation, why don't we seek out Yang Jian to discuss things? Perhaps we can even learn some skills from each other," Zhang Xuezhou suggested.
"That won't do. We're here to patrol the mortal realm, not to cultivate," Li Tianwang said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"I have other people patrolling here," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "Besides, if we cultivate more diligently, our ability to contend with Zhu Jiuyin might be stronger, and we might be able to play a role. Moreover, the round trip to Guan River Mouth only takes two or three days, so it won't cause any delay. If we can invite Yang Jian to Mount Tai to help, wouldn't it be worry-free with him here?"
"Well?"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't recognize Yang Jian, but he couldn't resist having a handy way to get in touch.
Without the help of Jinzha and others, it would be very difficult for him to make the visit.
Even among those who attain sainthood through physical cultivation, there are different levels. Yang Jian is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Nezha and Leizhenzi, and then Li Tianwang and others.
Zhang Xuezhou was very interested in the strongest physical cultivator who had reached sainthood, and even more interested in the cultivator's Cultivation Method.
He used his flying skills as a starting point to entice everyone to reveal their own cultivation methods. Later, he demonstrated his body-refining techniques, indicating his strong interest in physical cultivation. This undoubtedly made him one of Li Tianwang's group.
"This..."
"Come on, come on, it's just to Guan River Mouth. If you can't fly anymore, I have Law Treasure to carry you!"
"It's not that I can't fly, it's just that I'm derelict in my post..."
"I haven't deserted my post. Look, I still have so many people here helping with patrols. Besides, the houses aren't finished yet. Let's wait a few more days for the craftsmen to finish the work before we come back to guard the area. That way, we'll be more comfortable!"
"This..."
"We can't just sit here and eat nothing; we need to find some food. Why don't you come with me for a walk? I'll have someone prepare food and drink for you. That should solve both problems, right?"
Li Tianwang is a bit stubborn and doesn't quite understand things, so Zhang Xuezhou had to persuade him for a long time.
Only after paying three Creation Pills in advance did Zhang Xuezhou invite the three to Guan River Mouth.
"The Creation Pill's radiance is restrained; it's clearly a high-quality pill. Could it be a gift from the Heavenly Venerable...?"
Li Tianwang's incessant chatter faded into the distance, and the figure in the gray fog of the secret place finally disappeared.
Only then did Rong Tianding finally let out a long breath.
Zhang Xuezhou and Li Tianwang spoke casually, seemingly innocuous, but the aura of the three True Self Realm cultivators was extremely strong, making it difficult for others to interrupt when they spoke.
Moreover, these three cultivators exuded a strong aura of killing intent, making them true killing generals. Even when they spoke calmly, they possessed an air of authority without anger.
The Immortal Court dismissed a group of third and fourth-generation immortals, leaving behind only Immortal Court elite.
The path of cultivation is long and arduous!
Rong Tianding sighed, feeling that the path of cultivation and advancement was long and arduous.
Without sufficient ability, it's difficult to even speak, let alone stand by.
Of course, even if he wanted Rong Tianding to say something, Rong Tianding couldn't be as adept as Zhang Xuezhou, seizing the opportunity to act immediately. In fact, it would be better for him to remain silent.
"I wonder what this Eight-Nine Mystical Art is? My cousin seems quite eager to learn about it?"
Rong Tianding pondered for a few moments, then called out several times, signaling the court officials to complete the construction of this residence as quickly as possible.
"Where did these three cultivators come from?"
When Rong Tianding rushed towards the Reincarnation Stone, he saw the flying zombie lying prostrate on the ground, gazing at the exit of the mist, its words sounding extremely serious.
"They're all cultivators from the Immortal Court. My cousin calls them Li Tianwang, Jinzha, and Muzha, saying they're from the Jade Void Sect!"
"Those three old, undead monsters!"
Rong Tianding informed him, and Emperor Jing and Shi Wudao both started to complain.
Despite their youthful appearance, Li Tianwang and his companions had clearly lived through countless years, and had even participated in some of the competitions in the mortal realm, thus leaving behind a reputation that was not favorable to Emperor Jing and his ilk.
