Finding an Old Adversary

"Sufficient Law Power, sufficient Spiritual Qi, sufficient spiritual strength..."

Undoubtedly, Ren Yisheng met the standards in some aspects, but not in others.

Just like the Yang Soul incarnation that was gestating within Zhang Xuezhou's body, Ren Yisheng's Yang Soul incarnation was extremely similar in size to his.

Unlike Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Yisheng's Yang Soul incarnation is external, while Zhang Xuezhou's Yang Soul incarnation is internal.

"Professor, you learn so quickly! I never imagined you could learn so fast, especially considering the limited resources and materials you had!"

Looking at Ren Yisheng's three-inch-long and blurry body, Zhang Xuezhou reached out to touch him, but quickly withdrew his hand.

People learn everything quickly when they're desperate!

Aside from demonstrations and modifications performed by figures like the Venerable One, the practice of Technique Method is rarely accomplished in one go, especially when it involves more complex techniques.

Ren Yisheng's cultivation speed amazed even Zhang Xuezhou.

Even his current translation of the Yang Soul Transformation Technique is not perfect.

The Yang Soul Transformation Technique he copied was partly derived from discussions among the Venerable Ones and the Dharma Masters, and partly from Ren Anran's examination of the Emperor's questions.

The former undoubtedly has oversights and imperfections, while the latter interpretation lies in the fact that Ren Anran has difficulty repeating what she reads by lip-reading.

The Venerable Ones and the Dharma Masters not only lacked sufficient knowledge and understanding, but also only had half a day for discussion, and there was a third part that was not explored.

It was difficult for Ren Anran to accurately convey the content to the Emperor, even after Ren Anran showed some of the notes she had copied from Zhang Xuezhou.

The Emperor, on the other hand, only made the appearance of opening and closing his mouth to produce sounds.

Lip reading is not very accurate to begin with, especially when it involves obscure or difficult words. Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran have been discussing this matter for several days, and there are still many areas that have not been perfected.

But Zhang Xuezhou never expected that Ren Yisheng would use this imperfect technique to condense a body.

Despite the many oversights, Ren Yisheng undoubtedly emerged from the Soul Jade, and could even walk, jump, and speak.

"Is this skill really that hard to learn?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"It's very difficult!"

Even in the Yedie River Holy Land at this time, Zhang Xuezhou estimated that there were not many people who had mastered the Yang Soul Transformation Technique.

Ren Yisheng's cultivation level was only at the True Spirit Realm, which was likely the lowest level of cultivator Zhang Xuezhou had ever seen who had mastered the Yang Soul Transformation Technique.

This was even weaker than his previous, ruined form, and he had even mastered the technique while it was incomplete.

Despite its flaws, this undoubtedly helped Ren Yisheng escape part of the crisis.

As for future problems, those need to be addressed as we move forward step by step.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Ren Yisheng, then at his own incomplete manuscript interpreting the Yang Soul Transformation Technique, and still couldn't understand how Ren Yisheng had so quickly condensed the incomplete Yang Soul incarnation.

Zhang Xuezhou could only conclude that the power that erupted in despair might have exceeded normal cultivation, and even overlooked many obstacles.

This is undoubtedly a way of learning that is very difficult to replicate.

However, Zhang Xuezhou felt that emotions might have played a certain supporting role.

This led him to mark the Yang Soul Transformation Technique with an 'emotion' symbol.

Congratulations, Professor...

"Dad, can you go back into your body?"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could even offer his congratulations, Ren Anran raised a question that brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses.

"By the way, returning to the body," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "This Yang Soul incarnation is merely an illusion formed from the condensation of spirit and Law Power; it's not a complete physical entity. Ultimately, a person still needs to return to their own body!"

"Return to the body?" Ren Yisheng asked in surprise, "That wasn't written on your document!"

"That part that's hard to explain clearly is the method to return to the body!" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I couldn't do it well, I didn't learn it!"

When one's mental state is not normal, even Ren Yisheng is not enough to control one's reason, and even one's thoughts are difficult to suppress and control.

His gaze swept over everything Zhang Xuezhou had recorded, but he also mentally filtered out certain parts.

He recalled the relevant details, then reached out and touched Zhang Xuezhou's scrap paper, instantly catching it in his palm.

"Like this... like this... and like this again... I'll try..."

A wisp of white smoke rose up, and Ren Yisheng's body dissipated, reverting to its Soul Jade form.

"I can't feel my body. Is my body too frozen? I couldn't sense my body when I closed my energy channels; it went straight into this jade!"

Ren Yisheng Yisheng's voice was tinged with a hint of panic.

Although he returned to reality in an unhealthy or even abnormal way, he had absolutely no intention of shrinking back into the Soul Jade.

He retreated quickly, but appeared to move even faster here.

A wisp of white smoke rose, the Soul Jade quickly disappeared, and Ren Yisheng's blurry body reappeared.

"Go and check on my body!"

Recalling how his reckless departure from his body made it difficult for him to return, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He waved his hand, and his blurry body floated up like a breeze, then stood on Zhang Xuezhou's shoulder.

Ren Yisheng had already experienced the ability of his Yang Soul to leave his body and fly, so this floating ability did not surprise him. He pointed eagerly to the freezing device in the corner of the ward, and Ren Anran quickly ran over there.

As the secret command was entered, a sound of pressure being released and air being deflated was heard.

After about 15 minutes, the protective cover on the machine slowly disappeared, revealing Ren Yisheng's sealed body.

Standing on Zhang Xuezhou's shoulders, Ren Yisheng looked at himself and felt that he seemed somewhat unfamiliar with himself.

The body was still his body, but Ren Yisheng felt as if he were looking at a familiar stranger, or even as if he were looking at an external suit of armor.

His body floated past and landed on the head of his own body.

When he forcibly pried open his eyes, Ren Yisheng felt that he would not be able to return to his physical body for a while.

"I think something's wrong with me," Ren Yisheng said gravely. "In my perception, this physical body seems like a suit of armor; it's familiar to me, yet it Non-Self true self!"

"Not yourself?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise, "Then where do you perceive your true self?"

"It seems to be here!"

Ren Yisheng pointed to his blurred chest and abdomen, and he even wanted to reach in and grab it.

"I feel like the Soul Jade has become my true body," Ren Yisheng said. "What I can't live without now is the Soul Jade, Non-Self this physical body!"

"This isn't Technique Method to reveal one's true form by borrowing treasure, so how did it turn out like this?"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't understand his own situation, nor could he understand Ren Yisheng's.

"You don't need to worry," Ren Yisheng said. "I feel better than ever before. Not returning to my physical body doesn't matter. I can still speak and sing, I can still fly, and I can still use Technique Method. I... I just can't use the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique!"

Ren Yisheng tried it out, but the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, which relied on genes to exert its deterrent effect, clearly did not exert any power.

"This..."

Zhang Xuezhou thought about his experience of releasing the Kunpeng Fighting Technique in another world and felt that Ren Yisheng might be able to recreate the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique with the help of some special items.

But before he could decide what to say, Ren Yisheng, who had been flying for a while and had released several Ren Yisheng Supreme Purity True Technique for testing, suddenly exploded and turned into a cloud of white smoke, shrinking back into the Soul Jade.

"My power... seems to come entirely from the Spiritual Qi within this Soul Jade. Now I am exhausted!"

Ren Yisheng's performance lasted only a few dozen breaths before he shut down like a cell phone running out of power, even more so than Zhang Xuezhou's drowsy state.

He muttered into the Soul Jade.

"I might need more Tur Tribe Soul Jade!"

When navigating the unknown, you are clearly the best doctor.

Ren Yisheng felt that his ability to cast spells was not only related to the Soul Jade, but also that his vague body needed to be normalized and enlarged, and even the form of life that needed to be maintained. This required a large accumulation of Law Power and Spiritual Qi.

His cultivation at the True Spirit Realm is far from sufficient, but the Soul Jade might be able to shorten that gap.

After all, given his current state, even if Zhang Xuezhou were to develop the Spirit-Forging Pill, he wouldn't be able to consume it.

Ren Yisheng ultimately felt he had to go to the Thousand Islands Alliance and find his old nemesis to see if he could get some Soul Jade.
