Changes in the Sinkhole
The whistling Spiritual Qi poured in from the overhead sky bridge, while the translucent Spiritual Qi from the giant spiritual jade beneath our feet surged upwards from the ground bridge at our feet.
The Spiritual Qi surrounding his body was like a vast ocean of waves, cleansing his body like the tide.
In the past, the body was bound by cultivation resources, but the Realm Technique of the Yin-Yang School rose with it.
When the resources for cultivation reach a certain level, many impossible things become possible.
The technique that had previously hindered Zhang Xuezhou from advancing to higher Realm Technique broke through the ice and allowed him to move forward continuously.
"The compatibility with Spiritual Qi is impeccable!"
There was no forceful surge of Spiritual Qi energy from the explosion, no slow erosion from the Spiritual Qi of ordinary secret realms, and no gradual erosion and adjustment of the body from the dense Spiritual Qi of the Sinkhole No. 2. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Spiritual Qi at the moment was like a precise instrument, pouring in as much as he needed. This amount of energy was driven entirely by his body's needs, and everything was just right.
As his Realm Technique advanced, the amount of Spiritual Qi energy he received also increased, thus satisfying his needs.
Everything is just right!
Zhang Xuezhou was surprised by the Spiritual Qi that was perfectly compatible with his body, but he didn't study it too much. After all, there are many things in the world that cannot be understood, and he didn't need to study them while Sole Self Realm.
"Open!"
When retracing a route, even an exact replica of it, Zhang Xuezhou's probability of making a mistake is extremely low.
He repeatedly activated the Poison Avoidance Instruction, and saw a deep purple Law Power light emanate from his body.
Or perhaps it only involves a single Technique Method that relies on luck, and it may have enough room for error, which could provide an opportunity.
The intermediate Divine Ability of the Sole Self Realm has achieved the best possible outcome, ultimately enabling a second Divine Ability transformation. This has also caused numerous 108,000 acupoints to surge and continuously operate and ascend in accordance with it.
This was something Zhang Xuezhou had never experienced before. In the past, he would have needed to relearn each technique from scratch, but he had never encountered a situation like this before.
However, the pressure from the constant upward push of various techniques was extremely high, and even though Zhang Xuezhou could switch between evasion techniques with ease, he still showed some signs of disarray.
While attempting to break through to the Seventh Sequence, he created the human body reaction equation. This version of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art was finally formed. Even though it was somewhat rough and never reached the highest level, these Technique Method were ultimately integrated into one based on the framework of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, forming a synergistic effect.
The Eight-Nine Mystical Art reached its ultimate level, integrating the endless changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and further propelling the forging of the bronze, iron, and golden body.
Zhang Xuezhou's imitation of the tiger and the cat was almost successful. He could even perceive that he could add content to this human reaction equation, thus continuously improving it to a higher level.
Perhaps because it was completely contrary to the Five Elements Body of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, Zhang Xuezhou's body did not transform into the Five Elements, but instead resisted the erosion of the Five Elements. His practice method did not reach its limit, nor did it cause him to experience difficulty moving his body.
"Congratulations!"
After a long pause, Zhang Xuezhou heard a congratulatory voice, and Ren Anran spoke almost at the perfect moment.
This means that Ren Anran has a thorough understanding of his condition and is completely absorbed in monitoring and preventing any unexpected events.
"It was a bit of an unexpected surprise. I feel like I've struck gold. I was only supposed to be pushing through the resistance layer, but it ended up connecting with my cultivation, leading to a series of breakthroughs!"
Zhang Xuezhou laughed heartily and leaped off the jade pendant.
When Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the spirit jade, he noticed that its color had dimmed considerably, and the density of the domain in the Sinkhole No. 2 had also decreased significantly. He wondered when it would be possible to restore its accumulated splendor.
"What a pity!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Lingyu, feeling a pang of regret.
"It came out of thin air, so there's no harm in using it normally. There's no difference between using it slowly and quickly," Ren Anran said, shaking his head.
"That's true!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
"Even such a giant spirit jade vein couldn't support your breakthrough. You need to change your approach to enter the True Self Realm," Ren Anran warned.
"The Yin-Yang Realm Technique has too many flaws; it will definitely need to be changed in the future," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "This cultivation method's path to the Sole Self Realm is already on the verge of collapse. Constantly relying on external forces to propel it will ultimately result in its own annihilation!"
"Is that so!"
"However, the depletion of this spirit jade mine isn't entirely due to breaking through my cultivation level; it also involves my own body's reaction equations," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Perhaps it's due to the fusion process, or perhaps it's due to the second Divine Ability of the Poison Avoidance Instruction, or maybe there are other reasons. Many avoidance techniques also consume Spiritual Qi energy, propelling me upwards rapidly but also consuming a huge amount!"
"Your current avoidance tactics may have already broken out of the original framework!"
Ren Anran thought for a few seconds before making the correction.
Before the formation of the resistance layer, Zhang Xuezhou's skill level in many techniques was very high, but it could only be considered as following the rules.
In just two short days, Zhang Xuezhou had already modified the Technique Method.
Even though the path to cultivation remains the same, the overall framework has changed, and it is quite different from the behavior of Kunlun cultivators in the past.
"Relying too much on Spiritual Qi is not a good thing," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"In certain special circumstances, this might actually be a good thing!"
Ren Anran smiled with narrowed eyes before expressing her different opinion.
Technique Method on excessive Spiritual Qi for cultivation has significant drawbacks, which means that Zhang Xuezhou will likely need the same environment in the future. If he cannot find a better environment to cultivate, it will be very difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to advance in his cultivation.
However, in special circumstances, this could become a huge advantage.
Zhang Xuezhou pondered the opposing view for a few seconds before finally nodding in agreement.
The higher the level of cultivation, the fewer similarities there are among cultivators, and each has different needs, making it difficult to achieve uniformity through strict adherence to rules.
Zhang Xuezhou's situation isn't ideal, but if used properly, it could become a trump card.
After a brief discussion, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran quickly reached a consensus, and they felt no regrets.
"Hey, come look! The trees and grass here have changed!"
As Zhou Rihui's voice approached, Zhang Xuezhou looked into the distance and saw that the sparse trees had turned red like maple leaves, as if autumn had arrived.
The poisonous plants on the ground seemed to have experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, and thus grew flower buds, and some of the poisonous plants even had small red fruits.
"When plants that have been growing continuously bloom, it means that their growing season has ended and they should be mature," Ren Anran said.
"Perhaps the rapid changes in the Spiritual Qi environment caused them to make a terrible misjudgment of the environment, thus prompting them to quickly reproduce and continue their lineage!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and offered a different perspective.
The Spiritual Qi in the Sinkhole No. 2 had been slowly increasing, but his breakthrough in cultivation and the Technique Method caused the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy to drop rapidly, which also guided the rapid changes in these trees and grasses.
These poisonous trees and plants are extremely resilient, able to survive in the harsh environment of past fires. Zhang Xuezhou speculated that they were more likely multiplying in response to a sense of crisis.
Is it edible?
Zhou Rihui opened his mouth and asked the most practical question.
