The Real Seven Spiders

Huang Daoxian once used an analogy, mentioning that the power of human cultivation is like liquid, while the power of Principle is solid.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously thought that the description of the difference in power levels was correct, until he held the ribbon in his hand and realized that Huang Daoxian's comparison was a realistic depiction.

The power of the Principle in his hands is solid.

When Zhang Xuezhou reached out to touch it, he could still feel the warmth of the ribbon.

The green power of Principle swirled and coiled within the ribbon, even taking on various different forms as Zhang Xuezhou squeezed it with his right hand.

The power of the Principle was strange, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't find it unbelievable.

Ordinary people can sense the power but cannot manifest it; the power of grasping with both hands can only be perceived. However, after entering a certain Realm Entry, the power of Law Power and Qi and Blood begins to circulate in the body, and upon entering the True Spirit Realm, one gains the ability to project it outward.

Purple Law Power light swirled in Zhang Xuezhou's hands; this power, resembling a light medium, was undoubtedly vastly different from the common perception of power.

With a simple comparison, Zhang Xuezhou can clearly see the difference in these forces.

Perhaps it's due to different methods of cultivation, or perhaps cultivation requires a transformation in order to acquire this power.

"The Golden Core Technique and the Demon Race cores refined by the demon race also lead to the realization of power. From this perspective, the rules don't seem so remarkable. However, from the perspective of transformation, the difficulty of cultivation is too high. No one's physical body can withstand a solidified power within them!"

When power becomes tangible, the physical body inevitably struggles to withstand its erosion.

Blood in blood vessels needs to be fluid; solidified blood can only become a blood clot. Solidified power means that the body belongs to a different form.

Zhang Xuezhou's gaze fell upon the liquid within the black stone. This liquid was quite hot, but not hot enough to melt a body without leaving a trace.

The Spider God's descent body he had previously grasped was a tangible physical form; once separated, it vanished into nothingness, leaving not even a single bone fragment behind.

This means that the body that bears the power of the rules can switch between reality and illusion.

"The Yang Soul Incarnation Technique allows for switching between physical and illusory bodies. Could it be that the Zhu Jiuyin Technique was transformed from a higher-dimensional world?"

After careful consideration, Zhang Xuezhou also examined his own spiritual practice.

Even he, having attained sainthood through physical cultivation, couldn't condense solidified power within his body, let alone others.

Although the cultivator community is pyramid-shaped, with fewer people at the top, Zhang Xuezhou did not think that cultivation was so difficult that it was unparalleled.

This might produce a few geniuses, but it will certainly be difficult for others to replicate.

The absence of repetition means that inheritance is impossible, let alone the birth of higher-dimensional deities of varying sizes.

To quickly cut off this possibility, Zhang Xuezhou also thought of the Yang Soul Transformation Technique.

The body of the Yang Soul incarnation exists between the ethereal and the real; it can become ethereal like air or solidify into a physical body.

If a Yang Soul incarnation is thrown into this scalding solution, and the caster withdraws their power, the Yang Soul incarnation will inevitably vanish into nothingness, just like the Spider God's descent.

"If you became gods by incarnating from the Yang Soul, then I can understand the overwhelming physical form of Xuanming. Your interdimensional descent is nothing mysterious!"

Ren Anran's Yang Soul clones could repeatedly traverse through the distortion, so Zhang Xuezhou felt that the principle of the descent of a higher-dimensional god was not difficult to understand.

He also figured out the enormous creature he had encountered during the sacrifice to Xuanming.

Zhang Xuezhou previously believed that the gods in higher dimensions were colossal, with the bodies of a single god as large as mountains. This made him have no interest in higher dimensions, since he didn't want to become an ant in such a world.

After touching the power of the Spider God Liao Meng's rules, many previously incomprehensible questions were quickly resolved, and Zhang Xuezhou also gained an understanding of the higher unknown.

"It seems we've only developed less than one ten-thousandth of the potential of the Yang Soul Avatar. I wonder what the original Yang Soul Incarnation Technique from Zhu Jiuyin looked like? Could it be that with sufficient cultivation, one could travel between reality and illusion like him?"

The Yang Soul Incarnation Technique was clearly localized by Zhu Jiuyin to make it more suitable for cultivation, and Zhang Xuezhou often did this as well.

Zhang Xuezhou's application of the Realm Technique to reality wasn't very effective, and Zhu Jiuyin struggled for many years without figuring it out, ultimately having to spread the technique far and wide for research and discussion.

Both adopted similar localization methods, but Zhang Xuezhou gathered the resources of the nation's top leadership, while Zhu Jiuyin explored for many years before reaching the general public.

Zhang Xuezhou also understood why Zhu Jiuyin was able to quickly create the Yang Soul Incarnation, while the others needed to spend a long time cultivating.

"If I could get my hands on the original version and understand its contents, quickly creating a Yang Soul clone would be much easier. If I could learn Zhu Jiuyin in his hand, that would give all my opponents a headache!"

After all the twists and turns, Zhang Xuezhou never expected that things would come full circle back to Zhu Jiuyin.

If you want to move in a certain direction, you must at least find a starting point, and the starting point for exploring the power of rules is the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique.

If he could obtain and understand the original content from Zhu Jiuyin, he would be able to adapt his body to the power of the rules in advance, thus seizing opportunities when they arise, instead of being like Zhang Xuezhou who currently holds the rules but has them completely useless.

Discover the rules, understand the rules, acquire the rules.

The matter was a simple three-step process. Zhang Xuezhou had no obsession with higher-level power, nor did he think about how to become stronger himself. He was more concerned with how to fight against Donghua and contend with the complexities of the real world.

In another world, Donghua would catch and kill Zhang Xuezhou, while in the real world, disasters that could wipe out humanity could easily occur.

Today, a spider god might destroy a quarter of the territory of the Aomeijia Alliance; tomorrow, a pig god might devour another quarter; and in the future, perhaps some other monsters and demons will appear.

If one cannot Yufeng, one should accept one's fate. The key point is that Zhang Xuezhou discovered that things were not impossible.

Involving divine artifacts, cultivation Technique Method, and various other methods, there are ways to counter these invaders, and even to use the items carried by these invaders to continuously arm themselves. Perhaps this place will become the graveyard of these invaders.

If they had enough power, they could even hunt these greedy explorers and intruders in return.

Such hunting requires a standard, and the ribbon in Zhang Xuezhou's hand is clearly an extremely important standard.

If one can make power approach tangible, or possess the power of Principle, any intruder will suffer a crushing defeat.

Various thoughts raced through his mind, and his hands and feet didn't stop moving.

Having pocketed the ribbon of Liao Meng's rules, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and released his Technique Method once more.

Unlike his previous methods of dissolving boulders, Zhang Xuezhou this time used the Sand Entanglement Technique, a Technique Method that can grasp sand and gravel falling to the ground.

The black gravel he had previously dissolved returned to his hand, and when he reversed the petrification technique, the area he had previously damaged was quickly repaired.

He didn't repair it completely, leaving a few gaps.

A glance at the blurry face that occasionally appeared on the Golden Turtle of Zhang Xuezhou revealed that this Spider God Guardian, capable of unleashing sealing magic, was rushing back.

He could intimidate the Spider God Liao Meng with his three tricks, but Zhang Xuezhou really couldn't subdue this Spider God Guard with just a few words.

"Perhaps I should call you Seven Spiders?"

After thinking about the six spider-like beasts he had repeatedly encountered, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this half-human, half-spider Spider God Guardian was very likely the seventh one, the 'Seven Spider'.

Xu Lu, Jiu Tou, and others were thinking of picking up the corpses of the Seven Spiders to gain benefits, but in Zhang Xuezhou's view, it was more like the Seven Spiders had set a trap. However, the Seven Spiders' trump card was disrupted by Huang Daoxian, and the arrangements involving the artifact 'Thorn' and the Spider God Liao Meng's descent were destroyed and transferred.

This trap isn't just for the greedy; it's more likely to target those who are easily fooled.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was a high probability that the Seven Spiders were god-slayers.

He clearly didn't want to confront these dangerous elements head-on.

After calmly releasing his Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou leaped into the hole he had dug below and began sealing back the cave stone he had taken from the entrance.

The sound of a heavily pregnant woman dragging her body could be heard, and Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that Seven Spiders had returned to the cave.

Before the other party could notice the unusual appearance of Montess's steel hairpin and the boulder, Zhang Xuezhou imitated a tiger's roar.

This caused the seven spiders in the cave to let out a sharp, piercing roar. A muffled sound came from inside, and Zhang Xuezhou saw the sharp hooks of the eight spider legs pierce through the cave's rock layers and penetrate straight into the ground, even appearing not far from him.

This made him shrink back, and without pausing for even half a second, his body darted rapidly through the underground river.
