Accident
"It's all over, it...!"
Zhang Xuezhou was allowed to use the Venerable One's body to perform magic. He remained calm on the surface, but there was indeed a sense of disappointment in his heart.
This was an emotion he couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried.
Aside from the fact that the areas connected by the nine major avoidance techniques were forcibly impacted by Spiritual Qi energy, making it difficult to know whether the operation of the body's acupoints was good or bad, Zhang Xuezhou was more worried about the fact that there was a little person inside his body.
This is what Your Excellency referred to as the transformation of Yang Soul into form.
If he can reach the Divine Ability Realm, this little man will be able to manifest a physical body and become a Law Power condensation similar to a clone.
However, Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level was far from reaching the Divine Ability Realm.
Even though he had some confidence that his cultivation would reach the Divine Ability Realm in this lifetime, he was only separated by two major realms. But not having entered it was simply not having entered it.
This kind of small figure was forcibly stuffed into his body.
Having a product of a higher level ahead of time is not entirely a pleasant thing; rather, it carries potential consequences that even Zhang Xuezhou could not have foreseen.
You seem disappointed?
It wasn't until Daojun and Nine Spirits Yuansheng left that the Venerable One paid attention to Zhang Xuezhou was displaying his naked body.
"I don't know how to cultivate anymore," Zhang Xuezhou said dejectedly. "The Yin-Yang School's cultivation techniques don't mention the transformation of the Yang Soul within the body!"
"Well... I did overlook some things, and there were some areas I neglected!"
The transformation of the Yang Soul into a physical form is undoubtedly a good thing.
His Majesty believed this was an fortuitous opportunity for Zhang Xuezhou.
However, there is a problem: Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level is indeed somewhat low.
If Zhang Xuezhou is a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm, then the opponent's Yang Soul Transformation is equivalent to having an additional Dharma Body. As long as there is no targeted attack, the opponent's use of the Dharma Body to fight against others will not only help protect their main body, but also allow them to unleash stronger Technique Method power.
The problem arose because of his cultivation level.
The opponent's Divine Sense can indeed cultivate a Yang Soul Dharma Body, but the Yang Soul Dharma Body that is forcibly cultivated by the opponent cannot leave the body, nor can it dissipate.
Zhang Xuezhou is even now at a loss as to how to cultivate.
"I'll think about this matter carefully, don't rush," the Venerable One comforted him. "It's just that the Yang Soul has taken form. This form is closely connected to our bodies; perhaps you can even use the Yang Soul for cultivation!"
Zhang Xuezhou's current problem is that he needs to utilize the acupoints and points of his physical body during cultivation, but he also has an extra small body inside his physical body.
This leads to overlapping behaviors during cultivation. When calling upon Law Power, it inevitably guides the Law Power within the Yang Soul body to circulate, making it difficult to carry out normal cultivation as usual.
The Venerable One felt that there were still some oversights, but the matter was already done, and he couldn't extract and destroy Zhang Xuezhou's Yang Soul.
"Besides, no matter how powerful you are in cultivation your whole life, it's useless," the Venerable One said. "Look at how many humans and demons can't even reach the fifth realm, and how many humans and demons never have the chance to develop supernatural Divine Ability in their entire lives, yet we all still live the same lives!"
"You're right, but I'm still a little sad," Zhang Xuezhou said dejectedly.
"There's no need for that," the Venerable One comforted him. "You know that I have widely disseminated the technique of transforming Yang Soul into human form. Among them, there must be someone who can solve the problem of cultivating Yang Soul. You can just follow me and learn from me. That will surely allow your cultivation to proceed smoothly!"
Zhang Xuezhou's situation is somewhat dire, probably second only to the serious accident of destroying his cultivation.
His Majesty had previously felt that Zhang Xuezhou had caused trouble and needed to be punished, so he punished Zhang Xuezhou by making him work without any leniency, and even made Zhang Xuezhou do some high-risk things.
However, Zhang Xuezhou managed to complete the task by chance and even reaped considerable benefits.
His mind raced, and he decided to give Zhang Xuezhou some more benefits, which would make it easier to get this kind and loyal human cultivator to do things for him.
But His Majesty didn't expect that giving benefits would backfire.
While the Yang Soul Transformation Technique is indeed a top-tier technique that he holds as his trump card, it is not suitable for Zhang Xuezhou to use or train at this time.
"Try casting the spell and see how powerful it is," the Venerable One said.
"I only know one fossil spell. I'll go find you some soil!"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced around the palace with a disgruntled expression, which prompted him to run over a hundred meters before taking clothes from Zhou Bugui, who had a complicated Zou Bugui on his face, and putting them on.
Only after Zou Bugui pointed did Zhang Xuezhou dig up a handful of soil used to preserve special medicinal herbs.
"Your Majesty, watch me perform my magic!"
As the acupoints were connected and the Law Power was concentrated, the soil in Zhang Xuezhou's hand had already turned into gray stones.
"This fossil technique..."
His Majesty pondered for a few seconds.
Looking at the only technique Zhang Xuezhou could demonstrate, the Venerable One ultimately concluded that there wasn't much difference between Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation and his lack thereof. Even if he reached the Divine Ability Realm, the power of his Technique Method would still be limited.
As for feng shui formations and alchemy, it takes an extremely long time to develop good techniques, and the enormous demand makes it difficult for ordinary people to bear.
"What technique did you use during the surge of Spiritual Qi?" the Venerable One asked suspiciously. "Only a technique with a sufficiently high energy consumption could save you from having your body burst due to the Spiritual Qi clogging your body!"
"That's a Grain Avoidance technique," Zhang Xuezhou said dejectedly. "I used the Spiritual Qi tide to master the Grain Avoidance technique, and now I should be able to go without food for about seven days."
"The art of Grain Avoidance!"
His Majesty sighed softly.
He thought Zhang Xuezhou had some amazing secret Technique Method, but it turned out to be a skill only good for starving.
This kind of durability is quite useful, but it's obviously not suitable for duels between cultivators.
"Learning more useful human Technique Method in the future will be more beneficial than trying to reach the seventh realm," the Venerable One finally comforted him. "I observed that when you used the Fossil Technique, there was no hesitation, and its power was even stronger than that of the Five Elements Sect cultivators. This is probably because your Yang Soul is working within you. Correspondingly, if you learn more Technique Method from other schools, you should be able to use them more normally!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuezhou agreed.
He was incredibly lucky to have survived the clash between the Sacred Land's lords.
Zhang Xuezhou certainly felt lucky, but it's impossible for him to be content with his current situation.
But as long as he thought that he had another body, and that Ren Yisheng might even be able to use the Yang Soul Transformation Technique in the future, Zhang Xuezhou's resentment subsided considerably.
He has already survived in the Hunyuan Wuji formation, so it's impossible for him to have all the good things.
If things really came to that point, Zhang Xuezhou felt it wouldn't be a good thing. He might have no choice but to take on one task after another as instructed by the Venerable One, ultimately becoming the Venerable One's puppet in the eyes of the outside world.
The current situation is rather bad, but he has already fallen to such a terrible state that the Venerable One will feel more pity for him than think of making things worse for him.
After causing a series of troubles, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he should be safe in the Sacred Land.
He brought Li Guang with him, and he can leave An Ran.
If Zhang Xuezhou were to leave the Xieluosi River Holy Land now, looking utterly dejected, the Venerable One would absolutely not stop him in the slightest.
"What should we do?" Zou Bugui asked worriedly.
"Father, don't be anxious," Zhang Xuezhou replied in a low voice. "There are many capable and extraordinary people in the world. There will always be someone who can find a way. His Excellency has already promised that I may be able to solve the problem of Yangpo cultivation in the future!"
"Can..."
Zou Bugui a long sigh.
Plans can't keep up with changes. No matter what methods Zhang Xuezhou had against Jin Chang, they had to be put on hold due to his own circumstances.
It's anyone's guess when Zhang Xuezhou will be able to resolve his health issues.
While a junior cultivator might stumble upon fortuitous opportunity by following a senior cultivator, being among senior cultivators inevitably carries high risks and can even lead to serious accidents.
Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou, this seemingly invincible individual, has ultimately met his end, triggering a problem second only to death for a cultivator.
