His Memory Was Complete

"Laozi is crippled, Lingbao is very irritable, Yuanshi is running errands everywhere, the Jade Emperor is hiding something in the Lingxiao Palace, Jieyin and Zhunti imprisoned Laozi's clone and also Law Treasure, and Donghua refined Zhu Jiuyin into an elixir and invited all the immortals to take the Immortality Elixir?"

If there are enough other things to do, Zhang Xuezhou's matter will not stand out.

Zhang Xuezhou mentioned many matters, both big and small, concerning the Immortal Court, Kunlun, and the Western Sect, and also touched upon the long-lived groups known to Hongjun.

Among these great cultivators, none of them were easy to deal with, and their actions made Hongjun grit his teeth and curse them.

"Take all my treasures back, beat those two pretentious bastards to death, and while you're at it, slap the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor a hundred and eighty times!"

"Are you going to do it yourself, or do I have to do it?"

"Of course it's you!"

"Do I look like someone who would be beaten to death by the two sect leaders!"

"Picture!"

The situation within the Three Realms was extremely complex, so complex that Hongjun felt a headache coming on.

He originally thought that as long as the imperial decree was clearly communicated, things would proceed smoothly. Little did he expect that the Three Realms would be in turmoil, and the nature of those seemingly honest cultivators from a thousand years ago had completely changed.

Hongjun looked Zhang Xuezhou up and down. If he called the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables a fool, then Hongjun secretly called Zhang Xuezhou a good-for-nothing.

"We can't take it back by force," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Do you see any way I can quickly cultivate and then steal it back?"

"So you're trying to achieve your goals through a roundabout approach, huh?"

In the greenhouse, the image of Hongjun's condensed divine soul appeared somewhat awkward.

The plan Zhang Xuezhou mentioned is what he has been doing all along. As the Dao Ancestor of the Three Realms, his orthodox lineage is Daoist School, while his unorthodox lineage is the School of Thieves.

Hongjun wanted to follow the orthodox path, but reality repeatedly forced him to take unconventional routes.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was going to repeat his path, Hongjun couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

"I'd like to ask you, can you remember and cultivate this?" Hongjun asked with great interest.

"If once isn't enough, try twice; if twice isn't enough, try three times," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Each time I memorize a little bit, I quickly transcribe it after returning to my physical body, completely transforming it into my own memory. I'm sure I'll master it!"

"You managed to learn it, but I've been tormented repeatedly!"

Hongjun looked at Zhang Xuezhou and felt that his work was too difficult.

But if Hongjun were to come up with any other solutions, he really wouldn't know what to do.

It's like a deep sea; he can only sit on a large ship on the surface, while Zhang Xuezhou and others are the deep-sea divers.

He can only enter the Three Realms if he himself falls into a lower realm.

But if he were to do such a thing, Houtu would probably laugh her head off.

Hongjun's only consolation at the moment was that he couldn't control the situation within the Three Realms. Houtu had also completely lost control of the Three Realms and was almost unable to intervene in Three Realms events. The cultivators sent into the Three Realms by the Fallen Dimensions were also useless.

"The Three Realms are in chaos. Could our Investiture of the Gods cause some trouble?"

When Hongjun repeatedly entrusted him with these tasks, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but slip in his own personal opinions.

"The greater the unexpected event, the greater the probability that you will be killed by Houtu," Hongjun warned. "Only I can shield you from the aftershocks of Houtu's attack guided by the Void Heaven Palace. If an unexpected event occurs that makes it difficult for me to intervene, you can imagine the scene of being suppressed and turned to ashes by her!"

"Even the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables and the Jade Emperor couldn't stop the Void Heaven Palace?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"This is a dimensional attack; they can't withstand it," Hongjun shook his head and said, "Even if I intervene, you can only ensure the survival of your soul, and then obtain a physical body through the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture!"

"I'm not afraid of my body being destroyed; at worst, I still have another body," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That makes sense," Hongjun nodded. "If one door closes, another opens. With your twin souls, you have a way to retreat even if you fail!"

"Rest assured, as long as I can extract the soul from the Void Heaven Palace, I have absolutely no fear of Houtu!"

"Um!"

"Do we need to follow a step-by-step process to control this Investiture of the Gods? Are there any precautions I should take?"

Zhang Xuezhou assured him that he was only concerned with the safety of his soul and didn't care about his physical body at all.

He laid the groundwork several times before finally asking the question in a very natural manner.

"Those enfeoffed in the Investiture of the Gods are all former capable assistants of Houtu. These cultivators were previously hidden in the Three Realms and difficult to identify. It was only through war that they were brought into the public eye," Hongjun said. "If Houtu sees these old subordinates, she will definitely step in to rescue them, thus loosening her control over the Void Heaven Palace. This is also the best opportunity for me to use the Cloud-Piercing Hand to take over the Void Heaven Palace!"

The Cloud-Piercing Hand is a skill taught by Hongjun. This technique is related to the Law of Heaven and Earth, making it extremely convenient to retrieve items from a bag. Even treasures hidden in a pouch cannot escape its reach. It is very similar to the skill of Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

In Hongjun's calculations, Zhang Xuezhou's mastery of the Cloud-Piercing Hand would not pose much of a threat. Once his physical body in the Three Realms dies, Zhang Xuezhou will only be able to cause trouble in the real world.

Furthermore, given the different developmental stages of different worlds, and the fact that Zhang Xuezhou's real world lacks a system related to Realm Technique, it's difficult to achieve ideal results when practicing such techniques.

He rarely imparts his teachings, but as long as it poses no harm and does not disrupt the order he has established in the Three Realms, Hongjun is very willing to sincerely teach it, rather than the previously abridged version of the Zodiac Three Palaces Technique.

"And what about me? What should I do?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"You will hold the Investiture of the Gods in your physical body, then come to me to unseal it. After that, find Donghua and shout 'Donghua!' at him," Hongjun said. "Leave the rest to me!"

"That sounds simple!"

"It's actually not that difficult!"

Only now has Zhang Xuezhou figured out how to release the Void Heaven Palace.

Although Zhang Xuezhou still doesn't understand how the Void Heaven Palace collected it, he at least knows how it released it.

The method of releasing it was so simple it was like voice control; no wonder Houtu didn't give any instructions at the time.

"But you must be mindful of the time," Hongjun cautioned. "I feel that Houtu won't give you much time. If you don't provide a satisfactory report, she will inevitably seize the Void Heaven Palace and clash with me. If your soul is then devoured by the expanding Void Heaven Palace, you will be annihilated!"

"I will definitely work quickly and without wasting a moment!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest to vouch for him, and only then did Hongjun leave satisfied.

While switching between different greenhouses, Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes in the Sinkhole No. 2.

Compared to his previous tendency to forget things immediately afterward, Zhang Xuezhou found that his ability to resist Hongjun's memory loss was becoming stronger.

From the moment Hongjun first stepped into the greenhouse until he left, all the memories of their interactions remained perfectly preserved in his mind.

The qualitative change in his spiritual power enhanced his domain abilities and also gave Zhang Xuezhou a certain Principle of resistance to the laws of nature.

If Zhang Xuezhou had not been deliberately suppressed and targeted by Hongjun, he would not have been affected by the dissipated power of the Principle cultivators.

Having both complete and forgotten memories would make him completely different. This would allow Zhang Xuezhou to know the entire process, but he could also deliberately forget parts of the content and even incorporate his own understanding into his actions.

Even if some aspects did not conform to Hongjun's guidance, Hongjun would most likely be helpless and would not necessarily become hostile towards Zhang Xuezhou because of it.
