"Oh my god!"

Aside from some swelling and pain in his body, and an increase in height of five centimeters, Grian experienced no other side effects from pushing the Seventh Sequence.

"I'm a little short and a bit thin, but I have a great physique!"

As long as you have a resistance layer, everything else is a minor problem.

Grian looked at himself in the image, then touched his head, his face filled with barely suppressed joy.

This is a completely different stage of life. Grean can feel the vigorous life force within him, and he can also feel the complete change in his body.

Even if a bullet with tremendous explosive force hits his body, the special properties of the resistance layer will mitigate the impact of the bullet, or even deflect it.

If bullets are like this, then it goes without saying that ordinary swords and spears are also capable of killing.

For those Sequence Holder, the Seventh Sequence is an insurmountable ladder to heaven.

Even if Gene Fighting Technique are clumsy, with this kind of body, one can completely defeat the opponent by trading injury for death.

If they encounter a master of the same rank, even Seventh Sequence individual still has a chance to escape.

No amount of verbal assurance can compare to the tangible confidence in survival that the Seventh Sequence provides.

Grean's joy was genuine, and his gratitude was also very real.

Without Zhang Xuezhou, how could he have accessed the high technology of the Scarlet Alliance State, let alone pushed him into the Seventh Sequence?

"How about it?"

Grean trembled slightly, yet he wanted to express his overwhelming gratitude, while Zhang Xuezhou, Luo Burang, and the others were used to it.

Luo Burang asked from a distance, and Zhang Xuezhou remained silent for a few seconds before nodding.

"Let's give it a try!"

What are the odds?

"Ten percent!"

Luo Burang asked from the high platform, while Zhang Xuezhou pointed to his own very stable probability of entering the Seventh Sequence.

He lacked a firm grasp on the Divine Ability powers of the physical body.

Gene Sequence and Realm Technique are two different paths, different flowers blooming in spiritual cultivation, and Zhang Xuezhou finds it difficult to be certain that they will inevitably merge.

The commonality between the Body Transformation Technique and the Seventh Sequence lies in the transformation of the physical body. Zhang Xuezhou wasn't too confident about how to push his body to a higher level.

"Teacher, can the techniques of evasion and physical strength be combined using the methods of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked the Emperor in the observation room, which made Zhang Hao frown.

"Have you seen the Eight-Nine Mystical Art?" Zhang Hao asked.

"I went to Guan River Mouth and learned about the Eight-Nine Mystical Art from Yang Jian," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"Only two people have truly mastered the Eight-Nine Mystical Art. One is the Ape King Yuan Hong, who used his demon core as a catalyst to comprehend the transformations of the art, and then used Heavenly Tribulation to propel his demonic body to achieve an indestructible body, thus achieving mastery. The other is Yang Jian, who studied under the Jade Cauldron True Person. This fellow Jade Cauldron couldn't master the Eight-Nine Mystical Art himself, so he blindly taught Yang Jian, leaving Yang Jian to sit in meditation in the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain for three years. Fortunately for Yang Jian, Jade Cauldron didn't interfere, and a dog stayed by his side, bringing him food. That dog would bring him all sorts of edible things. Yang Jian's body was too weak to move, so he could only eat anything. No one knows what he ate, but he eventually broke through the Eight-Nine Mystical Art!"

Having reigned over the Three Realms a century, the Emperor's knowledge was clearly comprehensive, and he was well aware of the experiences of those who had mastered the Eight-Nine Mystical Art.

Yuan Hong is a demon, and demons inherently possess the ability to transform, which guides the transformation of profound arts. Furthermore, the powerful physical body of a demon attracts Heavenly Tribulation to aid in cultivation.

Demons tremble with fear when facing Heavenly Tribulation, terrified of being struck dead by lightning. Yuan Hong, however, did the opposite, using the Bandit Cultivator his physical body, achieving feats beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Yuan Hong's case is not unique. Zhang Xuezhou's physical body technique, which transformed into Divine Ability, also attracted heavenly lightning. He was struck by lightning many times along the way, but eventually achieved balance within his body.

As for Yang Jian's experience in cultivating the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, it was of little reference value to Zhang Xuezhou.

"I need to prepare a high-voltage current!"

The impact of lightning on the heavens and earth that would affect another world can be simulated in reality using powerful electric currents.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand the principle behind the great demon's Heavenly Tribulation. He only vaguely guessed that after the demon's physical body became powerful, it might interfere with the magnetic field. The body, like a tall tree on a mountain, easily attracts lightning strikes. The stronger the body's magnetic field, the higher the chance of being struck by lightning. The Lightning Tribulation would only disappear when the body adapted to the lightning or the body's magnetic field was changed.

While Yang Jian's cultivation of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art is impossible to imitate, the experience of the Ape King Yuan Hong can be learned from.

After Zhao Tianhua's experiment failed, it was only through a strong current surge that it returned to normal, so Zhang Xuezhou felt he could prepare a backup plan in advance.

"To prevent limb mutations, we modified the tank and installed a device to release current. All we need to do is replace the tank and connect it to high-voltage electricity!"

Luo Burang on the high platform nodded.

He had been preparing for this ever since Zhao Tianhua's experiment failed, but Luo Burang never expected that this device would be used on Zhang Xuezhou.

He didn't understand the strange things Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Hao were saying, but Luo Burang knew very well that the two of them wouldn't talk nonsense. This might involve some secrets that had never been made public. As long as he lived long enough and had the ability, Luo Burang believed that he would make contact with them sooner or later.

He arranged for personnel to operate the equipment to replace it, and then injected the pre-prepared gene fluid containing extracts from the ferocious beast into the tank.

After sealing Zhang Xuezhou inside the container, Luo Burang quickly checked the various data on the instruments. Only after seeing that the data was extremely stable did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Haozi..."

Don't call me a rat!

"Master Hao, how exactly does Zhouzi cultivate? I feel like his cultivation method is a bit chaotic!"

Is it chaotic?

To Huang Daoxian, Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation was chaotic and disordered.

To the Emperor, Zhang Xuezhou to cultivation was very clear; without any additional pursuit, Zhang Xuezhou could improve himself with ease.

"He has moved from imitation to integrated innovation!"

Zhang Hao raised his hands, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

The beings of the fire meteor may rely on their original methods of cultivation, thus constantly clashing with the natives in ways that are incompatible with them, or they may pursue the cultivation methods of this world, thus choosing a way to adapt to this world and continuously ascend.

Without the environment of their original world, no matter how hard cultivators try, their cultivation level may hardly advance, or it may even gradually regress.

The Emperor once possessed immense power from a thousand years of cultivation, but he had almost abandoned his original cultivation methods. Only a few lingering attachments, relying on his cultivation Law Power to guide the sequence lock, stubbornly maintained his last shred of dignity.

"He too followed the path from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster!"

When they were in the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Emperor believed that Zhang Xuezhou had benefited from Hongjun's grace and was simply following the path taught by Hongjun to cultivate and improve.

In the Emperor's life, he had seen far too many cultivators like this; Zhang Xuezhou's specialness lay only in the uniqueness of his guide.

However, after entering this world, his original understanding was completely overturned, and he quickly discovered that Zhang Xuezhou relied on the group to promote his cultivation, and that Zhang Xuezhou himself was guided by the Gene Sequence.

Such cultivators also exist in the Three Realms, but their numbers are extremely small.

For example, Shennong, who led the study of herbal medicine; Chiyou, who led the battles of cultivators, which led to the derivation of wars; and great cultivators such as Yandi and Huangdi, who established dynasties.

The Qin emperors of modern times were also among them.

These monks are not only cultivating themselves, but also changing the world to varying degrees.

Cultivating to the point of mastering supernatural Divine Ability allows one to graduate from a master's program. Stepping into the realm of the Unique Only Me allows one to establish one's own school and leave behind a school that has lasted for hundreds of years. Stepping into the True Self makes one a grandmaster, belonging to the top level of cultivators.

Above the Grandmaster is the Great Grandmaster who leads the way.

Throughout the Emperor's long life, he dared to call himself a Grandmaster, but he never overstepped his own abilities to claim that he belonged to the category of Great Grandmaster.

At this moment, the Emperor vaguely sensed that Zhang Xuezhou seemed to be seeking the path to becoming a Grandmaster.

They will not stick to the old ways, but will try various things until they find their own path, and then lead others to that path.

"There is a sequence to learning, and each has their own area of expertise; a disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily more virtuous than his disciple!"

Only after repeatedly convincing himself did the Emperor emerge from his sense of loss.

Only now has he finally understood the difference between himself and Hongjun, and realized that he could never achieve Hongjun's transcendence.

Even if the great struggle of the world were to repeat itself, he would still find it difficult to emerge as the ultimate victor.
