Who killed you?

Zhang Xuezhou's physical body could fight and tear apart a flying zombie head-on. His bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs during his resurrection were almost clearly seen by Shi Wudao and Emperor Jing.

The Shijiao School is particularly adept at studying corpses and has a clear understanding of the structure of every part of the body.

Shi Wudao could sense that Zhang Xuezhou's physical body was stronger than before, and because of this, he was very curious about who could kill Zhang Xuezhou.

But his question was destined to remain unanswered. Zhang Xuezhou's death was somewhat embarrassing, and he was too lazy to talk about his own experiences.

Although Zhang Xuezhou's physical body has been formed, everything he envisioned has undoubtedly been botched.

He used Kong Ning as a comparison test, he refined a large number of pills as preparation, and he invited the new emperor to help guide the fusion of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven. Everything was well prepared, but things did not go as planned.

Zhang Xuezhou felt things shouldn't have turned out this way, but in reality, they did.

This was a situation he really disliked; it seemed more like he had escaped death by sheer luck than by relying on his own abilities to overcome the risks.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou had intended to use the luck of Chang'an City to ensure everything went smoothly, the feeling of being out of control when he actually stepped on the tightrope was extremely exhausting.

It's like a general who plans for all sorts of scenarios, but during the battle, unexpected events occur and things spiral out of control. Even if he wins by chance in the end, the general still needs to examine his own gains and losses.

Not to mention that Zhang Xuezhou also realized he had attracted the giant snake's attention, inexplicably gaining a potential high-risk target.

Perhaps at some point he will be guided by the other party's location, thus achieving his arrival.

Whether this happens in the Three Realms or the real world, Zhang Xuezhou felt things would be extremely bad.

"I probably won't be able to fly back to Chang'an City!"

The attainment of physical sainthood allowed Zhang Xuezhou to maintain his physical strength at its peak, ensuring that his performance would not decline. Every move he made exuded power, but Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that he could not maintain this kind of power for long.

How long do you need to recuperate after recovering from a near-death experience?

Zhang Xuezhou did not answer Shi Wudao's question, but instead made a comparison, wanting to hear about Shi Wudao's situation after his resurrection.

"I need a year and a half to recover after my resurrection," Shi Wudao replied. "How come you look completely unharmed? Could it be that engraving the Seal of Life and Death on the Reincarnation Stone allows for a perfect resurrection without injury?"

"I haven't experienced your resurrection, so I can't make a comparison. If you like, you can try it too. There are still seventy-one of these Reincarnation Stones left, and there are currently many opportunities to use them!"

I'll probably give it a try!

Shi Wudao had not been enthusiastic about the Reincarnation Stone before, after all, he had already branded it with life and death.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou fully recovered while he himself was in a terrible state, it would be impossible for him not to feel envious.

Regardless of whether it's a yang spirit Yin Soul, only immortality matters.

This is Youdu Mountain!

This should be Mount Luofu!

"This might be Mount Taozhi!"

"This place should be Luoshan Mountain in Fengdu, Bashu!"

"Probably in the Longhu Mountain area!"

"It must be in the Netherworld Ancient Path of Yelang Kingdom!"

"This could very well be Loulan Mountain!"

Shi Wudao felt envious and kept urging Emperor Jing to inquire about Zhang Xuezhou's involvement with the Reincarnation Stone.

After some discussion and verification, Zhang Xuezhou became familiar with the general area, while Emperor Jing was familiar with the territory of the Great Han Dynasty and even had knowledge of the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Excluding some that were difficult to identify, thirty-six secret sites of reincarnation stones were found within the territory of the Great Han Dynasty.

"How could there be so many secret locations? We searched for them repeatedly back then, hoping to find a place to live and conduct research..."

The name Shi Wudao is destined to be repeated over and over again.

Although the dark and mysterious place is haunted by ghosts and filled with dangers, and is only suitable for certain schools of thought to practice Technique Method, it is still a secret place.

In the past, people searched desperately for a secret place but could not find it; now, it comes out like beans being poured out of a furnace.

"Don't think there are many such secret places. The Great Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and these secret places are probably only one per prefecture. You usually travel on the main roads and never go to those deep mountains and forests, so how could you possibly encounter these secret places!"

Emperor Jing, however, was unimpressed.

Even if the roads in the world are trampled by thousands of people, there are also those skilled in flying and leaping from south to north. These people either travel on the main roads or sweep past in a flash when they fly.

Many cultivators lament that the ancients had exhausted fortuitous opportunity in the world, but many other places remained unexplored.

Emperor Jing was not particularly interested in entrusting his life and death to the corpse, but he would cooperate with the Corpse-Destroying Dao until the two were able to separate from the flying zombie's body.

"Dongfang Shuo, could you please reveal the Yin-Yang Secret Realm...?"

Emperor Jing was more concerned with the Yangpo Transformation Technique, hoping to obtain a Yangpo Body.

This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Without consuming elixirs or nourishing it with Spiritual Qi, it takes at least several years of arduous practice to even begin to take shape.

Just as Emperor Jing was about to order Zhang Xuezhou to investigate the Yin-Yang Secret Land to see if there was any possibility of restoring its Spiritual Qi, Zhang Xuezhou was nowhere to be seen.

Having completed the discussion as always, Zhang Xuezhou left very quickly.

"He didn't wait for nightfall to cross the Yellow Springs Road; he activated the Yin-Yang Dipper Array and left to another secret location!"

In the distance of the secret realm, the Five Elements Array flashed with light. Shi Wudao sighed softly, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou's previous array setup was indeed convenient, at least for traversing the secret realm easily and effortlessly.

"I really wish he hadn't left!"

Emperor Jing sighed, clearly hoping that Zhang Xuezhou would pay more attention to the Yin-Yang Secret Land, and even restore its Spiritual Qi, and not treat Mount Tai as just a temporary stop along the way.

"Why is he staying here instead of leaving?!"

Shi Wudao gave a muffled reply, then his stiff body leaped up and headed towards the exit of the secret realm, clearly intending to search for the second Reincarnation Stone.

For a moment, both remained silent, only able to wait for time to slowly pass.

Within the Yin-Yang School's secret realm, Zhang Xuezhou was genuinely seeking a way to activate the realm's Spiritual Qi.

Ordinary blessed lands lack the power to create a single array, and thus have to use spiritual jade and other materials to replenish the array's energy. This secret place, however, has created the Yin-Yang School's Spirit Gathering Formation, the Great Qin Dynasty's Mountain and River Eternal Stability Array, and Zhang Xuezhou has also stacked a Five Elements Array. Such luxurious construction also means that the conditions of the Yin-Yang Secret Land are ridiculously strong.

The only problem is that the Yin-Yang School's array artifacts are in the hands of the Emperor Qin, and to activate the Spiritual Qi, one must get past the Emperor Qin.

"We can only swallow it slowly!"

Zhang Xuezhou finally found a crack in the ground.

The Spiritual Qi here is purer, much better than the cold and yin Spiritual Qi of the Reincarnation Stone. Moreover, it's very safe here, so you won't be taken by the Corpse-Destroying Path to study your body after you travel back to the real world.

Zhang Xuezhou lay down and quietly waited for the time travel to begin while recovering his strength.

He miscalculated the integration of his physical body with various Technique Method, which led to his unexpected death, but his time travel was very fixed.

When the time came, Zhang Xuezhou entered the shuttle mode.

As endless darkness descended, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Like a small boat sailing on the sea, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if something was hidden in the void, as if it would capsize his boat at any moment.

A bad feeling flashed through his mind, and he saw that there was already another person in the enclosed greenhouse used for passage.
