Handing It All Over
Relying on the 12,648 acupoints opened up by learning the art of Grain Avoidance, Zhang Xuezhou's performance in learning various avoidance techniques was mediocre.
For four consecutive days, Zhang Xuezhou restored his Law Power by eating green carp and mastered many magical techniques.
Regardless of how much power he gained from practicing the various techniques, he did manage to learn all nine major evasion techniques.
Inside the Mystic Dharma Palace, the Emperor and Empress looked extremely satisfied.
It wasn't just that Zhang Xuezhou's progress finally allowed them to adapt; the two of them also gained a relatively complete understanding of the Divine Sense Enhancement Spell.
While Zhang Xuezhou rested at night, the couple talked and then each tried their own spiritual practices.
They were very satisfied with the results of their spiritual practice.
For beings like emperors and empresses, cultivation is like a bottle of water; they have already filled it to its highest level.
However, the addition of the Divine Sense enhancement spell made them realize that some grains of sand had been added to their water-like state.
This change was subtle, but it still gave them a sense of urgency to improve.
Moving upwards means that their cultivation barriers have been broken, even if only slightly, which also breaks their previous limitations.
The joy in the couple's eyes was palpable.
"This incantation doesn't rely on the physical body or Law Power; it only relies on the cultivation of the three souls and seven spirits. It's truly quite peculiar," the Emperor and Empress nodded. "Once we understand the most basic principles, we can move forward."
"I've never seen him practice any Divine Sense enhancement spells," the Emperor said helplessly. "He probably only did the corresponding cultivation in that great world!"
"Once you understand the basic principles, why bother observing his cultivation? Just ask him how he cultivates," the Emperor and Empress said.
"Isn't this... a little inconvenient?"
"What's inconvenient about it? You two have a master-disciple relationship, why would you be afraid to ask about cultivation matters?"
The Emperor and Empress glanced at where Zhang Xuezhou was resting and thought that the Emperor could directly ask for the next chapter of the Divine Sense Enhancement Spell.
Compared to simply understanding the basics and then deducing the rest on one's own, this pioneering work is significantly more difficult than following an existing path, and it's also easier to go astray.
This is the cultivation of the three souls and seven spirits; if a mistake is made and problems arise, the consequences will be severe.
For example, many negative effects such as mental confusion, madness, paranoia, and being trapped in one's own emotions are difficult to cure with strong medicine. The emperor and empress had certain ideas in mind, but they did not act rashly.
She persuaded the Emperor several times, and finally he nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to talk to him!"
The Emperor paced back and forth several times before entering the side room of Zhang Xuezhou's palace.
In the side room, Zhang Xuezhou held the jade bottle of Nine Treasures Wine, looking at it back and forth, and occasionally making a mental calculation with his fingers.
Combining the initial ten hours, Zhang Xuezhou has now spent a full 118 hours here.
Nearly five days later, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but suspect that he would be taken to the school clinic for observation again, and then survived through injections.
He still didn't know when he could return to reality. After completing the practice of the nine major techniques, Zhang Xuezhou was filled with anxiety and a sense of daze.
He didn't eat any more green carp to restore his Law Power.
Having learned how to properly cultivate the Nine Great Techniques, Zhang Xuezhou stopped engaging in repetitive practices that seemed diligent but were actually useless.
If he truly wants to cultivate, he needs to enter the True Spirit Realm in reality, and then use the X446 body repair technology to cultivate the Grain Avoidance Technique to seek the maximum number of apertures. This can effectively improve the level of his current many avoidance techniques.
When his cultivation level breaks through another major step, Zhang Xuezhou can repeat his cultivation in this way.
If he were to open all 108,000 acupoints of the Grain Avoidance simultaneously, the other eight major techniques could be mastered in an instant.
All of this is predicated on his actual cultivation level and the funds required for the X446 body repair technology. As long as he achieves these two things, Zhang Xuezhou will have the fastest cultivation speed in these evasion techniques.
"What, not going to sleep for a while?"
Upon hearing the Emperor's voice, Zhang Xuezhou quickly stood up.
"Teacher, I'm not sleepy," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just worried about the situation over there, after all, it's been a long time since I've been there!"
"Don't worry, I've already used the Hidden Universe Technique. Once the extraterrestrial demon returns to normal, it should pull you over," the Emperor said.
"That's wonderful!"
Having clashed once, the Emperor changed his tactics for the second time.
Even if the extraterrestrial demons are on guard, the Emperor may still have other means to counter them.
To Zhang Xuezhou, the mysterious and unpredictable extraterrestrial demon Zhang Xuezhou someone he felt had been manipulated into becoming a fool by the Emperor.
"It's a pity my soul is too heavy, making it difficult for him to teleport me," the Emperor said regretfully. "Otherwise, I really wanted to go and see that great world!"
"You're too strong," Zhang Xuezhou said. "He was beaten by you, how could he possibly pull you away!"
"This is truly frustrating," the Emperor said helplessly. "If their strength is lower and there's no way to get them to change their target, this situation has become a deadlock!"
"What a pity!"
Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.
He was also relieved that the Emperor hadn't gone so far as to directly replace him and travel between the two worlds.
There are countless kinds of techniques in the world. If an existence like the Emperor wanted to control a demon from beyond the realm for fun, Zhang Xuezhou did not doubt that the Emperor had the ability to do so, given that he served as the coordinate for casting spells.
This also made Zhang Xuezhou realize that he needed to take certain precautions when contacting top-tier cultivators.
If someone were to pry open his eyelids like an emperor after he falls asleep, Zhang Xuezhou felt that if they encountered someone with a curious nature, it would be inevitable that they would probe him, and might even harm him.
As he was deep in thought, he heard the Emperor speak.
"That's not regrettable," the Emperor laughed. "I couldn't get there by sneaking around. If my Divine Sense were stronger, I could have stepped on him and traversed the void directly."
"The teacher is right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly.
"You previously told me about the Divine Sense Enhancement Spell, and I happen to have gained some insights into it now. Please see if I have grasped it correctly," the Emperor said with a smile.
"The teacher is truly a learned Celestial Person; the students are fully prepared to listen!"
"If you could tell me more, perhaps I could use this Divine Sense enhancement spell to strengthen myself and fulfill this wish!"
The Emperor's gaze swept across Zhang Xuezhou's face, and he even listened intently to every single thought in Zhang Xuezhou's mind.
He had ulterior motives when he first accepted students, and he also had ulterior motives when imparting the teachings.
This behavior wasn't exactly honorable, but for them, who had been struggling for a long time, discovering a new way to improve their situation while maintaining normal interaction meant they had already restrained their greed.
Zhang Xuezhou was a minor cultivator, but humans have always been more intelligent than demons and possess more complex minds.
The Emperor looked at Zhang Xuezhou, carefully sensing whether Zhang Xuezhou harbored more complex human thoughts.
The cultivation of the Divine Sense Enhancement Spell is unique, and the hidden dangers it causes are rarely curable. If Zhang Xuezhou conceals anything when recounting it, or if he cannot tell the whole story due to taboos, it will be very disadvantageous for them.
But to the Emperor's surprise, Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts were unusually open, and it seemed as if he had been waiting for this question.
Before he could even begin to meticulously plan how to gradually drain the opponent's Divine Sense enhancement spell, Zhang Xuezhou had already recited all the Divine Sense enhancement spells he knew.
