The Balance of Traversing
"You've been involved in a lot of warlock battles here!"
The Empress Dowager's search for a yang soul body ultimately escalated into a major case involving the breaking of a spell.
This situation made Ren Anran sigh.
During the months she followed Zhang Xuezhou in, even though she didn't participate in the fighting, she witnessed Zhang Xuezhou engage in combat several times.
Fighting Emperor Qin, defeating Jin Chang, sparring with Huo Qubing, cutting off the leader of the Jieyin Sect Master Jieyin, and finding the medium for the witchcraft on the Empress Dowager— Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou seems natural and composed, but he has been involved in many battles.
Every single event is a clash of skills, and with such a high frequency of action, it's no wonder that Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need to engage in sparring or take risks in the real world.
"Actually, I love peace!"
Ren Anran expressed her feelings, while Zhang Xuezhou responded with a sarcastic remark.
The struggle between Houtu and Hongjun has not yet begun, and Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou appears calm and collected, but he can already foresee the hardships to come.
To be honest, he also has a mess to deal with in the real world.
From a safety perspective when it comes to advancing his cultivation level, he needs to hold back for at least another month.
However, Qin Meng's half-step ascendant wouldn't wait for him for so long, and Zhang Xuezhou had no way of knowing what was happening in the real world at the moment.
With the time for the time travel cycle approaching, Zhang Xuezhou didn't run around recklessly. After all, he needed Yi Shuo to remove the last 20% of the Locking Yang Blockade Power in order to be in the best condition to break through to his True Self.
The palace was investigating the Empress Dowager's alleged witchcraft and Incantation Technique, involving many people. Zhang Xuezhou glanced towards the palace every now and then, feeling that everyone was facing a turbulent time.
"So you're saying you'll kill anyone who doesn't love peace?"
Ren Anran added Zhang Xuezhou's unspoken message, and Yi Shuo looked at Zhang Xuezhou as if she had suddenly realized something.
When Zhang Xuezhou awkwardly laughed in agreement, Yi Shuo felt as if she had discovered a new world.
In Yi Shuo's memory, Zhang Xuezhou was a nice guy who was polite to everyone and never provoked anyone. Even when he did take action, he always stopped short of causing trouble.
Zhang Xuezhou clearly has another side that she is unaware of.
"My husband is so capable and loves peace. Could you kill that Great Chanyu of the Xiong State? If we kill him, we won't have to fight on our borders anymore, right?" Yi Shuo asked in a low voice.
"The death of the Great Khan cannot end the war!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly.
The Xiong State's Chanyu Junch en the struggle between the Xiong State and the Han Dynasty will continue.
This did not stem from the will of the successor to power, but rather from the fact that the productive forces of the Xiong State could not keep up with the needs of its population, thus necessitating external plunder.
Every time the Xiong State launched a war against the Great Han Dynasty, it either plundered grain or eliminated its own population, thus achieving its war objectives.
After nearly a century of defensive warfare and being attacked, the new emperor finally stabilized the country, and Wei Qing and others began to win real battles. It's impossible for the Xiong State to stop fighting, and the new emperor is unlikely to give up.
The new emperor has come a long way, and his cultivation reaching the True Self level is not just for show. The legions he has continuously invested heavily in building are not just for show either.
More importantly, the 'Hou Tu' factor is involved. No matter Zhang Xuezhou or the new emperor, no one wants to face a world plagued by demons.
People may allow a powerful demon to seek a place to rest, but they will never allow a powerful demon to educate the Demon Race to form a power, or to continuously turn the human population into half -Demonization.
The Xiong State, who are accustomed to implanting Demon Power into their bodies, have undoubtedly become a future threat and must be expelled or even completely eradicated.
Zhang Xuezhou could vaguely guess the new emperor's thoughts, but he didn't know to what extent the new emperor would go to such lengths.
He is now caught in a dilemma: the Great Han Dynasty's wars against foreign powers will inevitably continue, and the dire situation makes it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to guarantee the outcome.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou himself was involved, the danger was unpredictable, so how could he have the mind to assassinate the Xiong State?
"My senior brother, Wu Chao, will likely assassinate the Great Khan in the future!"
Zhang Xuezhou answered Yi Shuo's question. He pondered that he had been expelled from the Yedie River Holy Land, and it was difficult for him to return to the Western Sect, let alone return to Wu Chao in the Xiong State. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The world changes too fast. There are too many cases where people Gaogao a decade ago have become just ordinary people a decade later. Everyone can only move forward with fate and drift along with the tide of time.
"He will definitely come to visit me in the next few days. Yishuo, you should entrust these pills to him!"
Zhang Xuezhou used Wu Chao's experience in the palace to deceive the Sect Master Jieyin into letting him pass. He had harmed Wu Chao and must make amends.
After entrusting Yi Shuo to him, Zhang Xuezhou also reminded Ren Anran to prepare for returning to the real world.
If they can rely on the giant tree greenhouse to return, it means that Ren Anran can accompany him to travel again in the future. If it is difficult to travel, then the two of them need to prepare as early as possible and seek Zhu Jiuyin's help to guide them until they successfully return to the real world.
"Can I go with Sister An Ran to see it someday?"
"It will definitely work!"
Yi Shuo was clearly very envious of Ren Anran.
She and Ren Anran got along well. Ren Anran was amazed by Yi Shuo's medical skills, while Yi Shuo was amazed by Ren Anran's incredible learning ability and knowledge.
Just a few months ago, Ren Anran was illiterate and didn't understand the language. Now, she has guided Zhang Xuezhou Ren Anran his cultivation, given advice to the Empress Dowager, and even has the old demon Zhu Jiuyin protecting her.
This experience was incredible, and through continued contact, Yishuo also learned about another world.
To Yi Shuo, the world Ren Anran described was like the legendary Immortal Court, where everyone was well-fed, everyone had the ability to transmit their voices over long distances, and everyone possessed the ability to see the world from afar.
Even if she didn't enjoy this kind of world, Yi Shuo felt that broadening her horizons was a good thing.
Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed.
If the giant tree greenhouse can house other divine souls, then such travel will become a normal occurrence.
As long as the body can passively Grain Avoidance to support the fifteen-day travel cycle, the travel will not cause harm to the body.
"Then I need to prepare a few Grain Avoidance Pill!"
Yi Shuo was happily making plans, while Zhang Xuezhou was already lying on his side on the bed, signaling Ren Anran to accompany him with her soul and hold him tightly, to see if they could be guided into the giant tree flower room at the same time.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
As the countdown drew to a close, a dark void appeared before Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.
If he used his mental power to slow down his perception, he could also sense the giant tree branches and flower houses that suddenly appeared in the void.
The greenhouse bloomed like a flower bud, and only after Zhang Xuezhou's soul entered did the greenhouse shrink and close one by one.
It's stopped moving again!
Just as Zhang Xuezhou had predicted, Ren Anran's soul entangled with Zhang Xuezhou and was passively drawn into the greenhouse, but the two did not get caught up in the journey.
"Kid, stop with this nonsense and hurry up and find the Investiture of the Gods!"
Zhang Xuezhou fiddled around for a while, then kept trying to sense and move the tree chair at the hub center.
The giant tree greenhouse swayed back and forth several times, but failed to send him back to the real world. Instead, Zhang Xuezhou waited for Hongjun had traveled through time and was urging him from outside the greenhouse.
Hongjun appeared inside the greenhouse when Zhang Xuezhou opened it.
"Yuanshi Tianzun has already sent people to find the Investiture of the Gods text. I need to go back there to save the world," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Saving the world while also having a family to support?"
Upon learning that his students had already received the information, Hongjun felt somewhat relieved.
He entered the greenhouse, glanced at Zhang Xuezhou fiddling around aimlessly, then at Ren Anran, who seemed dazed and confused, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Do you know what a seesaw is?" Hongjun asked, taking the initiative to speak.
"You mean I have an extra soul here, which makes it impossible to maintain balance during the travel?" Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized and asked.
"You're a little bit smarter than those three idiots," Hongjun nodded. "It's one thing for you and that duck to be twins, but to carry others, you need to be paired with them, or even paired with them of equal ability, to achieve balance and complete the exchange!"
"In other words, if I pull one over there, I must send one over here, and both need to be of similar quality!"
"Yes, this kind of thing is quite difficult. If you can't cultivate a soul clone, anyone you drag in will die physically!"
Hongjun nodded.
Traveling and swapping worlds is not child's play; it inevitably comes at a price.
Ren Anran lacks the ability to travel, so coming here won't be easy, and going back won't be easy either.
"But if you help me obtain the Void Heaven Palace, I can help you send this little girl back!"
Later, Hongjun returned to the matter of urging Zhang Xuezhou.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou achieving balance while traversing the giant tree, helping him obtain the Void Heaven Palace would be much simpler.
