Only with light in the heart could there be hope

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, the Heavenly Emperor descends to earth to display his divine power..."

Muttering the same incantation he had never used before, Zhang Xuezhou entered the Jishi Medical Center and began to collect Ren Yisheng's soul from his body.

Within the Soul Jade, Ren Yisheng also began researching the Art of Returning to the Aperture.

Whether it works or not, there's no harm in giving it a try.

Ren Yisheng's current situation is quite special, and it differs greatly from the situation mentioned by Dong Zhongshu. It no longer belongs to the normal phenomenon of a cultivator's Yang Soul leaving the body.

Ren Yisheng not only left his body, but also found a piece of jade to settle down in.

Normally, the soul-summoning technique shouldn't work, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that the soul-returning technique might not be entirely suitable for Ren Yisheng's current situation either.

But no matter what, he had done his best, and for now, he could only try it out.

"This is my first time using this technique, let's try again!"

I think trying one more time shouldn't be a problem!

From 8 p. m. until 3 a. m., Zhang Xuezhou finally stopped chanting the soul-summoning ritual.

The fact that it could be collected by the Daoist Mu indicates that the level of the Soul-Collecting Technique is not very high.

Like the more than eight hundred Daoist arts collected by the Han Dynasty, the art of soul collection was also considered useless.

This made it relatively easy for Zhang Xuezhou to learn.

It wasn't even 3 a. m. yet, but Zhang Xuezhou already felt that his soul-collecting technique had reached its limit and he could no longer master it.

Although he had learned all the skills, Ren Yisheng's condition did not change much, while Ren Anran, who had been watching Zhang Xuezhou for most of the night, seemed a little sleepy.

"Do you feel anything at all?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"No way!"

From within the Soul Jade, Ren Yisheng uttered a soft voice.

It wasn't just that Zhang Xuezhou's soul-collecting technique was difficult to use; Ren Yisheng had also studied the soul-returning technique for several hours, but neither of their techniques had been effective.

"I'm locked inside this jade, just like I'm locked in my old mansion," Ren Yisheng said helplessly. "Getting in is easy, but getting out is impossible!"

"Can't you get rid of this jade?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"Should we try breaking this Soul Jade?" Ren Anran suggested.

I think...

"No!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could express his opinion, Ren Yisheng stamped his foot in frustration.

"I feel that the Soul Jade has not only become my refuge, but it seems to have become my body as well. Breaking this jade could very well kill me," Ren Yisheng said anxiously.

"And your health?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"I feel like the connection isn't as strong anymore," Ren Yisheng said with a headache. "The more I ponder and study this Returning Acupoint Technique, the weaker my relationship with my body seems to become. This jade is almost becoming a part of my body!"

"You mean you didn't return to your body, but instead returned to this soul jade?"

Listening to Ren Yisheng's low voice, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his own cultivation of the "Kunpeng Fighting Technique" was somewhat poor, while Ren Yisheng's situation in cultivation was as bad as it could get.

"That's the idea," Ren Yisheng replied. "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Let me show you the complete theoretical development of the Kunpeng Fighting Technique that the Sequence Committee gave me!"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't completely extinguish Ren Yisheng's hope, so he used the Kunpeng Fighting Technique.

This was also one of the related matters he wanted to ask Ren Yisheng about during his trip.

If Ren Yisheng believes that the Kunpeng Fighting Technique still has a future, it shows that Ren Yisheng has a good mindset and can wait or continue to study it.

If Ren Yisheng saw a dead end in cultivation with no chance of success, he really couldn't come up with a more reliable technique at the moment.

"Are you testing me psychologically?"

Using a visual aid, Zhang Xuezhou displayed the research document from the Sequence Committee.

He turned the pages of the document one by one, until the last chapter on page sixty-eight, when Ren Yisheng asked a question in a low voice.

Instead of directly addressing Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou presented a document.

Seeing the 'masterpiece' of the researchers on the Sequence Committee, Ren Yisheng already knew the answer.

"Only when there is light in your heart can there be hope!"

The Kunpeng Fighting Technique placed before Zhang Xuezhou practically heralded the end of Gene Fighting Technique.

Ren Yisheng is facing a thorny path, and at present, he cannot even find his direction.

If Zhang Xuezhou still has the confidence to strive for improvement, Ren Yisheng can also find his own way out.

This path requires them to break free from constraints and to cooperate closely with each other.

Zhang Xuezhou may find techniques that will be helpful in the future, and Ren Yisheng may also assist Zhang Xuezhou in promoting Gene Fighting Technique.

But this requires both people to be in a stable mindset and state of mind.

An optimistic mindset might be achievable, but maintaining mutual stability is beyond the control of Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng.

Zhang Xuezhou's internal conflict and struggle for his body, Ren Yisheng's potential loss of Yang Soul and the issue of dealing with the Soul Jade—all these factors intertwine, making their survival extremely difficult.

"This also requires us to handle these matters quickly, rather than wasting time in procrastination!"

Zhang Xuezhou said nothing, yet Zhang Xuezhou made everything clear.

As a professor specializing in psychology, Ren Yisheng understands this way of expressing himself all too well.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Ren Yisheng did not appear disappointed, but instead displayed high morale.

Even if I become a lit match, I will still shine with the most intense brilliance!

Pioneering forward is inherently fraught with difficulties; there are theoretical researchers, practical researchers, and also those who are used as experimental consumables.

In essence, the sequencing event's promotion of a new fighting style is also an experiment.

This process selected the best sequencers currently available and continues to advance the integration of some Gene Fighting Technique in theory and practice.

We place our hopes on these finest seeds and continuously test and advance Gene Fighting Technique.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's Kunpeng Fighting Technique was too theoretical and abstract, which made it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to make progress from the very first step.

However, necessary improvements in physical condition are unavoidable; overly narrow conditions will firmly limit the development of abilities to a limited scope.

Zhang Xuezhou definitely needs to improve his own conditions; he should break through this constraint even if it means spending money.

Only by breaking free from its constraints can the Kunpeng Fighting Technique potentially become stronger, farther-reaching, and more complete.

Ren Yisheng watched Zhang Xuezhou's bumpy road ahead, and pondered his own precarious future. Like a trapped beast, he developed a belief that it was a fight to the death.

It could be a lose-lose situation or a win-win situation.

Ren Yisheng would clearly choose the latter.

He was merely imprisoned within the Soul Jade, but he was not completely dead.

The lack of a physical body caused him great distress, but his mind was not confined, and he still possessed the ability to cast spells.

Moreover, Ren Yisheng did indeed have a bold and crazy idea, just as he had thought when his yang soul first left his body: he needed a body, and he would cultivate that body.

Just as he had nurtured Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang in the past, this time he wanted to nurture Ren Yisheng himself.

"Can magic construct a special kind of body?"

When the method of returning to the body's core proved ineffective, Ren Yisheng turned to other methods.

"Puppet Technique, spirit possession, and Technique Method mimicry can all create unique external bodies, but I'm not sure if they'll be useful to you!"

He asked Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou responded within the scope of his knowledge, which made Ren Yisheng feel that the light was still shining on him.

"I will do my best to help you develop the Kunpeng Fighting Technique," Ren Yisheng assured him, "And I will do it in the fastest way possible!"

"These three techniques I mentioned are very difficult to obtain, but I will do my best!"

The Puppet Technique was present in Jin Chang's body, while the possession by the Yin spirit was a concept from the Corpse-like School. The mimicry Technique Method was a derivative that could only be developed when the Five Elements technique reached its limit. Zhang Xuezhou had only heard Dong Zhongshu introduce it to him once.

Even if one acquires these three techniques, they may not be suitable for anyone to cultivate Ren Yisheng.

To save oneself, Ren Yisheng will face immense difficulties throughout life and will expend countless efforts.

This requires Ren Yisheng to be as fast as possible, and it also requires Zhang Xuezhou to be as fast as possible.
