Swearing to Heaven with Three Fingers Raised
"Completely open and honest, without a trace of falsehood!"
After discussing the matter with Zhang Xuezhou in the side room for a full hour, the Emperor finally obtained the first four chapters of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.
This is all that Zhang Xuezhou currently possesses.
He showed no dissatisfaction when handing over the contents of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.
Zhang Xuezhou even hoped that the Emperor and Empress could refer to each other 'Mental Strengthening Chapter, and that there was a capacity for improvement and further development.
He had listened to what the Emperor had said, which involved cultivation techniques, something Ren Yisheng had been exploring but had not yet fully understood.
In this respect, the Emperor in this world is like a child making his way in the path of spiritual cultivation, but in terms of realm, the Emperor is among the top.
In reality, Ren Yisheng is a master of spiritual cultivation techniques, but he is just starting out in realm cultivation techniques.
This is a completely different combination, and there is also an exploration of how each can adapt to move forward in its own way.
Zhang Xuezhou undoubtedly hopes to see different options and also hopes to see the possible directions that can be pushed forward.
While it's important not to aim too high, Zhang Xuezhou's Mental Strengthening is about to enter its fifth chapter, while Ren Yisheng's sixth chapter of Mental Strengthening Chapter has flaws, and the seventh chapter represents Ren Yisheng's current limit, making it difficult for others to imitate or learn from.
This falls far short of Ren Yisheng's ideal standard.
However, without personal Ren Yisheng as a reference, it is difficult for anyone to make further progress.
Zhang Xuezhou had already laid out a plan: if this teacher wasn't good enough, he had another one.
Even though the Emperor was only just beginning to mentor him, Zhang Xuezhou was already looking forward to the future.
He watched the Emperor leave with satisfaction before scratching his head.
Under the Emperor's gaze for an hour, accompanied by the Emperor's occasional questions and explanations, Zhang Xuezhou's spirits inevitably began to wane.
He squinted and fell into a state of rest until the Golden Crow Great Emperor's noisy voice shouted, and then a familiar voice came, which quickly brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses.
"I caught a long-legged toad, and it said it came looking for its son. But there's no such thing as a little toad demon around here!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor shouted loudly and quickly reported the relevant information about the Emperor.
"The Sacred Land does not kill envoys; I am here on orders..."
"Don't shout, or I'll eat you alive! I know you're from Zhu Jiuyin's side. Don't you know who I am? I'm polite to all demons now, but I'm not polite to demons from Zhu Jiuyin's side!"
"Tolkien, what's your son's name?"
Then the Emperor asked a question with great authority.
Although the Golden Crow Great Emperor lost his son, he wouldn't seek trouble with Zhu Jiuyin. However, the Golden Crow Great Emperor harbored no goodwill towards the Xieluosi River Holy Land, not even towards the members of the Demon Race.
The Emperor, on the other hand, rarely harbored personal grudges; he even had no opinion of Zhu Jiuyin.
In the past, Zhu Shiyin had visited Kunlun, and the Emperor still had some impression of the Golden Toad Dharma King who was by Zhu Shiyin's side.
After all, there are very few toad Demon Cultivator to this level, and those who can jump like the Golden Toad Dharma King are even rarer, even for an emperor of great age.
"Your Majesty, my son's name is Zhang Xuezhou. He must have wandered into the Kunlun Sacred Land by mistake. I've come here specifically to find him!"
The Golden Toad Dharma King responded loudly, and after a few seconds, he exclaimed "Wow!"
That's my son!
When Zhang Xuezhou came out of the hall, the Golden Toad Dharma King was stunned for a few seconds before recognizing Zhang Xuezhou.
Several years had passed since Zhang Xuezhou was last seen, and Zhang Xuezhou had changed, but Zhang Xuezhou appearance remained unchanged, almost exactly the same as when the Golden Toad Dharma King first met Zhang Xuezhou.
This made the Golden Toad Dharma King rub his eyes vigorously before extending his claws and pointing.
"Your son? You, a toad, could have such a son?" the Golden Crow Great Emperor exclaimed in astonishment. "What kind of human woman did you abduct to obtain such a descendant?"
"I'm his godfather!" the Golden Toad Dharma King struggled to say.
"I'm still wet," the Golden Crow Great Emperor spat out.
The Golden Toad Dharma King struggled in the mouth of the Golden Crow Great Emperor for a few seconds, until Zhang Xuezhou called out "Godfather," at which point the Golden Crow Great Emperor spat the old toad demon to the ground.
"Your godfather seems to be named Zou Bugui?" the Emperor asked with a strange expression.
"I have two godfathers. My Demon Power was cultivated by this godfather, while the other godfather cultivated my cultivation techniques," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Zhang Xuezhou's past is too painful to recall, but as an ordinary person, he was no less vulnerable than those who were lost during the war, and his fate was not in his own hands.
Just as he was forced into this secret place, Zhang Xuezhou quickly found a godfather.
At that time, he was a novice who believed the world was false. He was bold and crazy, and his behavior was absurd.
However, this also had a profound impact on Zhang Xuezhou's later temperament. Until his current almost fixed personality, many of Zhang Xuezhou's actions did not seem so upright and honest, and were completely unrelated to the chivalrous behavior of Qiao Feng and other heroes in Zhang Weimeng's martial arts novels.
Even Qiao Feng would be defeated in a place like this!
Zhang Xuezhou muttered something under his breath, but his expression didn't show any embarrassment when he responded to the Emperor.
In the early stages of his cultivation, he was indeed supported by the Golden Toad Dharma King, and because they had a life-and-death experience together, the old toad demon treated him quite well.
"As the head of a school of thought, how much right Zou Bugui accept you as his adopted son? Tolkien, a mere inferior demon, has no right to do so!"
The Emperor smiled gently.
He never investigated the backgrounds of his students, nor was he aware of Zhang Xuezhou's many entanglements; he never imagined such a thing could happen.
He clearly did not approve of this relationship.
If the Holy Son of Kunlun were the adopted son of a toad demon, it would be a laughing stock.
Tolkien, in particular, was a guardian of the Candlelight, which is almost like a servant riding on his master's back.
When his gaze fell upon the Golden Toad Dharma King, a single thought locked onto the old toad demon, almost causing the Golden Toad Dharma King to feel his liver and gallbladder tremble with fear.
The living Golden Toad Dharma King belonged to Zhang Xuezhou's godfather, but he soon ceased to be one after his death.
"You're quite lucky, your godson actually became a disciple of the Emperor," the Golden Crow Great Emperor sighed from the side.
As the Emperor's longtime partner, how could he not know what the Emperor was thinking? The Emperor couldn't do such things, but it was very convenient for him to do them.
With just a glance from the Emperor, the Golden Crow Great Emperor knew how to arrange for this old toad to meet with an accident in the Kunlun Sacred Land.
"Little... little demon..."
The Golden Toad Dharma King had lived for hundreds of years, and he never imagined that his demise would be due to such a reason.
Perhaps because Zhu Jiuyin came from the Heavenly Court, the Venerable One's way of dealing with people is almost exactly the same as the Emperor's.
Having struggled to survive in the Emperor's palace once, he knew this all too well.
"This humble demon, having received the mandate of heaven and the honor of being protected by the Holy Son, has also protected his safety. Now, in just a few short years, the Holy Son has already returned to the Emperor's glory!"
The Golden Toad Dharma King burst into tears and collapsed to the ground, but within seconds he used the same method to deal with the situation.
With tears streaming down his face, he repeatedly spoke in a way that made him appear extremely humble, hoping only to escape this deadly disaster.
"Tolkien, unable to bear the honor of being called the Son of God, swears to the heavens with three fingers that I sever my adoptive father-son relationship with Zhang Xuezhou today, and that we shall never have any connection again!"
Having met the Emperor for only a few seconds, the Golden Toad Dharma King raised his palm and began to swear a poisonous oath.
However, his statement did not satisfy the Emperor.
In the perception of the Golden Toad Dharma King, he did not realize that the Emperor had changed his mind because of his tearful vow.
