Persuading Each Other
The speed at which the Feiyu Feather Demon King soared through the air was among the best in the Three Realms, Zhu Jiuyin's speed in reaching Mount Tai was also very fast.
But upon seeing the colorful, shimmering light beneath the Jade Emperor Peak, Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but be momentarily lost in thought.
"I heard that your Yin-Yang School controls a secret area on Mount Tai. Aren't you going to activate the formation and let me in to take a look?"
Zhu Jiuyin shouted downwards, and the colorful haze below Jade Emperor Peak faded, replaced by the white clouds that once swirled around it.
A vortex appeared in the clouds and mist. Zhu Jiuyin looked at it for a few seconds before lightly stepping into it.
His gaze swept across the scene, and the world was shrouded in a gray haze, with sand Zhu Jiuyin covering the ground. For a moment, Zhu Jiuyin even thought he had been trapped in a formation.
Only when he saw Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding on the other side did Zhu Jiuyin realize that he had come into contact with the Yin-Yang Secret Land.
"This secret place used to be quite famous, how did it become ruins?"
Zhu Jiuyin looked around and found that there was nowhere to even stand. Even the only man-made palace had collapsed into ruins.
"I don't know, it was like this when I came in with my martial uncle!"
Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.
The past of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Yin-Yang School was a mess, ultimately leaving behind this chaotic situation.
The Everlasting Mountain and River Formation sealed off the earth's vein energy completely, causing even the Taishan Prefecture Lord's Daoist Temple to suffer. Only when the earth's vein energy was overflowing could Spiritual Qi escape into the secret place.
If this secret place isn't sealed off for a hundred years, the Spiritual Qi within it will be of little use.
This place had been challenged by Zhang Xuezhou, then explored and killed by the Immortal Court cultivators, and then the Seven Stars Alignment Secret Realm was shaken. The Spiritual Qi in the secret realm was barren, and the ground was like a loess plateau. There was no trace of the number one secret realm in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent. Even Zhu Jiuyin found it hard to believe.
How do you want me to imprint void coordinates?
The matter of the Yin-Yang Secret Land only Zhu Jiuyin's mind before disappearing without a trace.
He looked Zhang Xuezhou up and down, his gaze sweeping back and forth.
Cultivators who can manipulate the void are rare, and those with such a need are even rarer.
If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't looked like a decent human being, Zhu Jiuyin might have even suspected that Zhang Xuezhou was an outsider.
He had many unresolved questions in his mind, so he remained polite and did not forcefully coerce Zhang Xuezhou. After all, Zhang Xuezhou Zou Bugui Zhou Bugui. Zhang Xuezhou was already a force to be reckoned with, having been invited by Daojun and Nine Spirits Primal Sage without going to the Northern Kuru Continent.
"You can imprint yourself on my soul," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I will find a place to probe into the void and contact her. You can then interact with her using the imprint!"
"You?"
Zhu Jiuyin exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Zhang Xuezhou to be willing to risk his life.
"If you can help my cousin master the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture so quickly, it shouldn't be a problem for me to do it quickly too," Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. "I can also benefit from this, since the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture is quite powerful, and I can team up with my cousin in the future!"
"Your idea is terrible!"
Zhu Jiuyin found it hard to criticize Zhang Xuezhou's thinking; it's probably because he's not comfortable unless he gains some advantage.
Moreover, the other party was quite reckless, and while others avoided him like the plague, Zhang Xuezhou deliberately clung to him, fearing that he would be controlled.
"You know there are some minor problems with my technique," Zhu Jiuyin.
"You wouldn't kill me before things are even done," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Something's very wrong with you," Zhu Jiuyin. "This is Incantation Technique that can take lives. You've already removed the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture from your repertoire; you shouldn't have jumped back in so willingly!"
"That's because someone cracked my skull open, not because I deliberately removed myself. I believe in your kindness and friendliness, and you should also believe in my sincerity!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.
Interaction between people from two different worlds is not a simple matter.
The Emperor's divine soul traveled a long distance and possessed Ren Anran, leaving a mark, which enabled him to have simple conversations with Ren Anran.
This method of communication is very difficult, and it would be even more difficult to lure Ren Anran's Yang Soul here.
Zhang Xuezhou had no ability to bring any physical objects back to reality; only his soul imprint could guide and locate him.
He could locate himself using his physical body and return by being pulled back by the giant tree. Ren Anran would need the help of a great cultivator to be able to be pulled back.
Such great cultivators must at least possess the ability to enter the void. There are only a handful of people in the Three Realms who have this ability, Zhu Jiuyin is one of them, and may even be one of the top ones.
Zhang Xuezhou's judgment was partly based on the Emperor and partly on the Holy Mother of Wudang.
He stared intently at Zhu Jiuyin, feeling that there was a very high chance that Ren Anran would follow after receiving Zhu Jiuyin's assistance.
"How is it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"You mean her soul is also in the void?" Zhu Jiuyin asked cautiously.
"She likes to explore the void, and her soul often roams in the void. I know the location well, so I'm sure I can find her if I look for her," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"She's not from our side, is she?" Zhu Jiuyin asked, frowning.
"Whether it is true or not is unimportant. There is no risk in the interaction of souls in the void. As long as her physical body cannot come, no matter how powerful she is, it will be meaningless!"
"That's true!"
Zhu Jiuyin nodded, then suddenly realized something.
He looked at Zhang Xuezhou's body with suspicion, feeling that these words should not have come out of Zhang Xuezhou's mouth.
Normal cultivators don't explore the void, know nothing about extraterrestrial beings, and are even less aware of how to avoid risks. But Zhang Xuezhou spoke with such ease and familiarity, as if he had driven away extraterrestrial beings before and was well aware of their dangers.
This is not something Zhang Xuezhou can remove.
"Do you think this is feasible?" Zhang Xuezhou urged.
"This..."
"With such stringent conditions, you don't think this kind of thing could cause any further problems. Do you still want the Yang Soul Transformation Technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones?"
"Alright!"
Zhu Jiuyin finally nodded.
Although he had a bad feeling about it, Zhang Xuezhou was right. This kind of thing wouldn't cause any trouble, and most importantly, it was in his favor. He could accept taking a little risk.
"You've found the right direction," Zhu Jiuyin said with a hint of pride. "Only I can do something with such high standards. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Emperor couldn't do it well. I'm unique in the Three Realms when it comes to this!"
I knew you had great skills in this area from when I was at Qingzhou Ding!
"Don't even mention the Qingzhou Cauldron!"
The Zhu Jiuyin symbolizes dissatisfaction, causing it to shake its head.
He suffered a major setback at the Qingzhou Cauldron.
That adventure almost destroyed Zhu Jiuyin's true form. Because of the injury, Zhu Jiuyin has an extremely high demand for Qi and Blood pills. Zou Bugui, Zhou Bugui's skills are limited, and his level of refining Qi and Blood Creation Pills is low. As for the Goat Strength Demon King, let's not even talk about him.
It was rare that Zhang Xuezhou wasn't hiding at this moment, Zhu Jiuyin really hoped that Zhang Xuezhou could help with mass-producing pills; as for the reward, that was negotiable.
"I've been spreading my teachings far and wide for over ten years, hoping someone can innovate upon the Yang Soul Transformation Technique. I'm now counting on you to help me make connections and introductions. You shouldn't doubt that I'll imprison you in the Xieluosi River Holy Land to refine pills. As long as you can help refine more Qi and Blood Creation Pills, I can even return your godfather to you!"
Previously, it was Zhang Xuezhou who persuaded Zhu Jiuyin, but later it was Zhu Jiuyin who kept offering conditions to persuade Zhang Xuezhou.
If Zhang Xuezhou possessed genuine alchemy skills, he could rapidly advance the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture an even higher level.
He gave a disjointed introduction, occasionally elaborating on the bright future to entice the reader. In a subtle sense, Zhang Xuezhou keenly realized that the secret to Zhu Jiuyin's quick Yang Soul Transformation Technique did not seem to originate from the original version, but rather likely involved Zhu Jiuyin's Great Wilderness Creation Scripture.
