Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
When the time travel arrived, Zhang Xuezhou obediently returned to the mansion and waited for Yi Shuo's treatment, which lasted for half a month.
Because of time constraints, he was unable to go to the Immortal Court to ask Laozi for the Investiture of the Gods the Laojun, and he did not deal with the Void Heaven Palace. When he returned to reality, he was inevitably a little uneasy.
The immense force pulling the giant tree surged forth, and Zhang Xuezhou felt his soul drift, realizing that his speed was much slower than before.
At the same time, he also noticed a black spot in his soul.
This was a flaw that Zhang Xuezhou had not noticed when examining himself before, and it only became apparent when he traveled through the void.
"It's that folded and compressed Void Palace!"
The image of a massive palace folding into his mind was beyond Zhang Xuezhou's comprehension.
He dared not make any rash moves. This was not only because Zhang Xuezhou was difficult to control, but also because he was worried about bringing the Void Heaven Palace back to the real world. In the Three Realms, Hongjun was there to contend with Houtu, but in the real world, there was nothing.
"This isn't entirely a bad thing. My return to reality with the Void Palace is slow, An Ran might be able to catch up with me at the start and thus return safely with me!"
The hidden dangers of the Void Heaven Palace were so great that Zhang Xuezhou dared not deal with it lightly.
However, Zhang Xuezhou soon discovered the benefits: the folded hall slowed down the giant tree's travel speed considerably, allowing Ren Anran to potentially hitch a ride when she returned in the future, thus avoiding the high risks of traversing the void.
Thinking this way made him feel a little better.
"I wonder what An Ran's current condition is?"
After Laojun of the Immortal Court transformed into the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he fell seriously ill. Zhang Xuezhou was inevitably somewhat worried about Ren Anran's condition. He even felt that the shorter the time Ren Anran spent integrating into the Great Han Dynasty, the better, so that he could seek to return once he obtained what he needed.
"Wait!"
"Quack!"
When one's mental strength is weak, one cannot sense being transported through the void; when one's mental strength is strong, one cannot escape it even if one wants to.
Although Zhang Xuezhou's conscious time in the real world is no different from before, the time he experiences mentally will be longer.
After exchanging chairs in the tree area, Zhang Xuezhou and the mallard duck had a rare exchange of complaints.
Even a mallard like that can make a sound in the distorted area through mental shockwaves, so the speed of void travel has obviously slowed down to an absurd degree.
Zhang Xuezhou felt it was a bit like a small horse pulling a large cart. He sat in the greenhouse as usual, but the Void Palace had a very obvious effect on him. The power of the giant tree made it difficult to move quickly.
"This seems to be the principle behind the control of speed and slowness!"
Despite his complaints, Zhang Xuezhou had experienced such a long period of time while traversing the void, and the corresponding time in the outside world did not actually change.
As he continued to move around, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
As long as he finds two fulcrums in space, he will have freedom of time between the two points. This will allow him to control the speed of his power and continuously extend upwards. He may be able to wander in the realm of time and space like Hongjun, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Dong Yan and others would take entering the Immortal Court to cultivate as their life's Struggle. Zhang Xuezhou's role model for cultivation is Hongjun, especially since he has the possibility of getting close to Hongjun. Zhang Xuezhou will definitely take Hongjun as his goal.
He recalled the connection to Hongjun in his mind, and continued to extrapolate his own experiences, seeking research and development in his own field in reality.
He failed to create a domain in the Three Realms, but Zhang Xuezhou did indeed initially form a domain in the real world.
This ability stems from the primordial power of the Sinkhole No. 2, which has benefited Zhang Xuezhou.
Cultivators who control the origin of the world can guide the origin to achieve the Principle. The Sinkhole No. 2 where Zhang Xuezhou is located is relatively small, and the origin is also insufficient, so the impact of the transformation he suffers is also relatively small.
But this transformation propelled his control upwards, allowing him to enter the realm of regional influence.
"I wonder if Qinmeng's situation is the same as mine, completely baffled by the Principle and finding it difficult to penetrate the Principle passively condenses!"
When a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, Zhang Xuezhou stopped thinking.
The greenhouse bloomed, and he rushed towards the light. When his eyesight returned, he had already awakened in the Sinkhole No. 2.
"Hey Zhang, you've made your fortune and you didn't even tell me!"
Huang Daoxian's angry scream rang out, and Zhang Xuezhou shook his head vigorously, only to be greeted by Huang Daoxian's mottled dog head.
"I'll bite you to death! How could you have gotten such a huge benefit? Why didn't you take me with you?!"
Huang Daoxian opened its dog mouth and bit Zhang Xuezhou's head, causing Zhang Xuezhou to curse loudly. Zhou Rihui, who was watching Huang Daoxian, quickly reached out and grabbed it.
"That damn dog is too fast! It was just over there!"
Zhou Rihui reached out to grab him, but Huang Daoxian had already leaped far away.
"Yellow dog, are you crazy?!"
Zhang Xuezhou rubbed his head, which was covered in saliva, and shook his head.
Only after the Water Avoidance Instruction and Dust Avoidance Instruction were cast did the saliva leave his head.
Touching the sharp teeth marks on his head, Zhang Xuezhou felt utterly bewildered that he had been bitten by a dog.
Compared to Huang Daoxian, who bites randomly, Erlang True Lord's Xiaotian is strangely obedient and somewhat adorable.
"I'm not crazy! I've followed you so sincerely, and you're getting rich without me!"
Huang Daoxian leaped back onto the giant Spirit Stone with a playful gait. When Zhang Huang reached out to grab him, he jumped out to avoid it, not forgetting to complain about Zhang Xuezhou.
"I've brought you all the way to Sinkhole No. 2, I've treated you with the utmost sincerity, yet you're being secretive and dishonest," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "And now you're turning around and accusing me. You really are a wild dog that can't be tamed!"
"I wasn't hiding, you were the one hiding!" Huang Daoxian shouted. "You'd rather bring Ren Anran than me, who's stronger! I hate that!"
"You want to travel through the void to the Three Realms?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"Wherever you go, I want to go too!"
Huang Daoxian shouted, as if Zhang Xuezhou were a heartless man, leaving Zhang Xuezhou looking completely bewildered.
"As long as I can keep up with you, that's fine," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "It's not like it's a good place!"
"Impossible!"
Huang Daoxian exclaimed, not believing Zhang Xuezhou's words at all.
"Zodiac has been quiet for the past two weeks, and we never expected that you would suddenly go crazy the moment you regained consciousness!"
Ren Yisheng, who was guarding Ren Anran's physical body, rushed over and quickly offered an explanation.
For Ren Yisheng, Huang Daoxian's sudden attack was unexpected, and even though everyone had taken precautions in advance, they were unable to cope effectively.
"Zodiac, are you sensing something?"
Zhang Hao moved slowly, standing diagonally opposite Huang Daoxian, one in front of the other, with Zhang Huang.
Zhang Hao's gaze was calm. He and Zhang Huang had blocked Huang Daoxian's position. Changkong Yinghao and the others also approached with their swords drawn. But Zhang Hao was no different from Ren Yisheng. He was equally surprised by Huang Daoxian's performance and had not expected this situation at all.
"You damn dog, are you testing my ability to control you?"
The crowd approached step by step, while Zhang Xuezhou stood at the altar.
He stared at Huang Daoxian, which elicited a long, submissive bark from Huang Daoxian in response.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings! He went to the void and made a fortune! He really came back with a huge amount of void gold—enough to build a giant space shuttle! I'm so envious and jealous I want to bite him to death! Why didn't he include me when he did this good deed? I even provided some void gold back then!"
Huang Daoxian cried out, unable to control his body, let alone his words and actions.
After biting Zhang Xuezhou's head, Huang Daoxian also cursed everyone else as well.
