The Whereabouts of the Investiture of the Gods Document
Zhang Xuezhou's development in Fortune Technique was indeed different from that of ordinary people.
He hardly followed the practices outlined in the "Emperor's Scripture," nor was he a feudal lord.
His initial opportunity to Fortune Technique undoubtedly stemmed from the conflict between Emperor Jing and the Prince of King of Liang, which led him down the path of Fortune Technique.
One battle after another in terms of Fortune Technique led Zhang Xuezhou's Fortune Body to continuously improve, but looking back at the many Fortune Technique he had initiated, Zhang Xuezhou almost never relied on brute force to win.
This resulted in its development not leading to individual strength, but rather dispersing into the hidden form of the dragonfish.
Zhang Xuezhou once thought that this was all there was to him, until he broke the Tongtian Ruler and completely devoured the hidden fortune of Huang Daoxian. Only then did Zhang Xuezhou feel a slight difference in his own Fortune Body.
The dragonfish, which was originally just a mascot, began to grow sharp, golden teeth, which Zhang Xuezhou felt would be somewhat of a blow.
For someone like him, whose ability to differentiate dragonfish is virtually limitless, even a small blow can bring about a qualitative change.
Zhang Xuezhou could even sense that the dragonfish's shimmering golden scales had acquired some protective power, no longer being easily destroyed with a single slap as they had in the past.
"With the Emperor Qin wounded by the Red Empyrean Sword, and combined with the luck I gained from my battles, I should be in relatively stable condition!"
In Fortune War, it's a matter of life or death. Zhang Xuezhou had a chance to win by fortuitous opportunity, but all the Fortune War he participated in were extremely passive.
Now it was he who took the initiative to go to Emperor Qin, and Zhang Xuezhou did not fight a battle he was unprepared for.
Only when he had accumulated enough advantages did Zhang Xuezhou feel certain that victory was highly probable.
He has flaws in the real world, making it difficult to restrain Qinmeng, a half-step ascendant. He also has various problems in the Three Realms, which leads to his extreme passivity. However, once one link is resolved, the rest can be solved.
The immense golden light of the dynasty's fortune was gradually devoured, and the phantom of the dragon-fish eventually disappeared.
"The Daode Te Ching mentions the philosophy of transformation. I previously found the concept of 'three giving rise to all things' difficult to understand, but after witnessing your spiritual practice, I finally understand that its words are true!"
What was a phantom dragonfish to Zhang Xuezhou was a real, tangible existence to Ren Anran.
She couldn't help but marvel, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had reached the limits of the Daode Te Ching theory and also reached the pinnacle of the Fortune Technique.
Fortune Technique reach this level, it means that almost no one can withstand them.
"That's not necessarily true. The Great Han Dynasty has an Emperor Sword called Crimson Firmament. This sword has reached the pinnacle of Fortune Technique. While I can transform into countless forms, it can shatter all laws with a single strike, directly severing the very essence of things. If a powerful cultivator were to wield this sword, I might not be able to withstand its power!"
Ren Anran marveled at Zhang Xuezhou's unparalleled mastery of Fortune Technique, while Zhang Xuezhou himself did not feel that his Fortune Technique was so powerful that no one could rival him.
There is no perfect technique in the world, nor is there ultimate, perfect power.
The Great Han Dynasty possesses the Red Empyrean Sword, and there may be other even more powerful cultivators, or other treasures that can counter it. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he still needed to remain humble and cautious, and not become complacent because of this.
He glanced at the clock placed beside the altar, then looked again at the twisted part of the sinkhole.
The twisted shape of the Sinkhole No. 2 makes it difficult for many people to enter, but for Qinmeng, a half-step ascendant who is unafraid of death and possesses Infinite regenerative power, it is not insurmountable.
It would be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to shake off his opponent with just one shot and one cannon shot; this situation will inevitably be investigated in the future.
Given the opponent's actions, which exceeded Zhang Xuezhou's expectations, it was difficult to predict what he would encounter when he regained consciousness, and in the other world, he was also unable to attend to the situation here.
His opportunities are limited, and this trip to the Three Realms requires him to resolve the issue of entering the True Self Realm as much as possible, so as to provide a model for his real self, and then he can draw on his own experience.
Zhang Xuezhou's mention of using Spirit Jade and Moshi Mountain to advance his True Self Realm amidst Qinmeng's pursuit by a half-step dimensional ascendant is not a joke; he genuinely believes it's possible.
"I'll switch places with the duck. You guys help the duck adapt to my body as much as possible; maybe it'll be able to help me hold on in the future!"
Zhang Xuezhou gave Ren Anran and Zhang Manqian some instructions before lying down quietly.
The pitch-black void reappeared before his eyes. Zhang Xuezhou stared intently, able to sense the mallard duck that had just escaped from the Three Realms.
"These damned great cultivators should all go into seclusion for five hundred years. If they don't withdraw from the world, how will anyone else have a chance?"
"If the petty thief is finished, I'm probably finished too!"
"It's a pity my old master didn't take me with him. If I had an old master, I wouldn't be so anxious!"
"Now they even dare to oppose their old master! It's like carrying a lantern onto a latrine—the little thief is practically asking for death!"
"I wonder if that Void Heaven Palace can kill the old master!"
"The Investiture of the Gods text is lost in West Ox Hezhou, and can only be found by searching for paintings of demons. But how many paintings in this world can actually become demons!"
"The little thief did encounter a painting demon before, but unfortunately he was tricked and killed!"
Without needing to ask the mallard, Zhang Xuezhou could learn what the mallard was thinking from its dominant position, and even obtain cultivation content like Donghua.
The mallard duck calls him "master" but secretly calls him "little thief." Zhang Xuezhou doesn't care about such titles, since few people can be consistent in their words and actions.
He didn't consult with the mallards; instead, he simply completed the shuttle and exchange.
When a faint purple glow appeared in his eyes, Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that he was still in the Zixiao Palace.
"No one can rival Master's divine might. I can't even remember what Master transmitted, so how could Shuo Xian remember it? These past few days, he's been swaying unsteadily, as if his brain has broken down. How could he clearly understand what Master said?"
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi paced back and forth, and only when Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes did Celestial Venerable Yuanshi quickly glance over.
"Shuo Xian, you're awake again. Do you remember anything else my master said?"
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi spoke quickly, clearly eager to learn the message from Zhang Xuezhou.
"Master... what did I say before?"
As soon as Zhang Xuezhou spoke, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi felt a jolt in his heart, sensing that Zhang Xuezhou might have completely forgotten what he had said and would need his reminder to remember what he had said.
"Don't you really remember the sounds you heard in the main hall?" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi asked.
"Investiture of the Gods the Gods"?
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment before cautiously speaking.
"Yes, Master mentioned this," Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said happily, "What else do you remember?"
"Is it still possible to find it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"The Investiture of the Gods was previously kept by Laojun. After his body One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, a division arose. Laojun said that the Pure One skilled in martial arts took all the weapons and magical Law Treasure, while the Pure One skilled in magic took all the Technique Method treasures. Only the heavy objects that couldn't be moved were left in the Tushita Palace. The Investiture of the Gods of the Gods was a magical treasure, and it was also taken by the Pure One!"
Where are they?
"At present, all we know is that Wuqing died in West Ox Hezhou after failing to find the Great Dao, while Shuqing's whereabouts are unknown!"
"You have the ability and the time, haven't you looked for one all these years?"
Zhang Xuezhou's question left Celestial Venerable Yuanshi speechless with frustration.
The strongest cultivator in the Immortal Court in the past was Laojun. Laojun's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones can transform into three cultivators of the same level. The strength of Shuqing is no different from that of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
Such a cultivator is not someone he can find at will. If the other party intends to hide, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi truly cannot find him.
Even if Celestial Venerable Yuanshi is found, one of them will have died, making it difficult to reclaim the Three Pure Ones' bodies and return them as one. The strongest cultivator in the Immortal Court will also be unable to return.
Even Laojun himself was helpless in the face of this situation, and the matter was ultimately delayed.
