The Treasure of Benevolence
Even with the ability to predict the future, Yao Yuanguang himself was forced to flee in panic, barely surviving.
In this situation, it's difficult to say that Zhang Xuezhou, who served as the medium for the spell, survived.
Yao Yuanguang was indeed pessimistic about Zhang Xuezhou's chances of survival, but he had seen his own pale appearance and Zhang Xuezhou's appearance in the long river of time.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, and Yao Yuanguang can hardly remember what Zhang Xuezhou was doing at the time, it means that Zhang Xuezhou has a future in the long river of time.
Those who have a vision of the future are more likely not to die in the present.
Unless Zhang Xuezhou changes his fate or a tributary emerges in the river of destiny, the other party may survive, and may even live in a better state than him.
After barely managing to answer the Third Prince's question, Yao Yuanguang quickly shook off the trouble he was involved with Zhang Xuezhou.
Regardless of what the Third Prince fed him, he was powerless to resist. If Rong Tianding to hit him a few times, Yao Yuanguang felt that his life was about to end.
"You're saying my cousin isn't dead? Then why isn't he conscious?"
Rong Tianding felt Zhang Xuezhou's breathing and sensed that Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have entered a 'dreaming' state again, but this was not Zhang Xuezhou's normal time for daydreaming.
He hoped that Zhang Xuezhou had truly entered a state of spiritual travel to avoid disaster, but he was also afraid that Zhang Xuezhou would lose his soul and spirit in such a muddled way.
After examining Zhang Xuezhou, he moved closer to Yao Yuanguang and grabbed the other man's ribs with one claw.
Possessing the power of the gluttonous beast, Rong Tianding, though Technique Method, undoubtedly possesses some rudimentary martial arts skills, enough to pose a threat to a powerful cultivator like Yao Yuanguang in a weakened state when in close combat.
"Please wait a moment," Yao Yuanguang gasped. "Don't worry that I'll stall for time to retaliate against you. I wouldn't dare cause trouble in a place like this!"
"Let me examine the Eastern monk!"
In the end, Jinxia Yuanjun couldn't stand it anymore, and after temporarily putting aside the matter of Nezha, she reached out and touched Zhang Xuezhou.
"Um?"
After a series of tests, Jinxia Yuanjun couldn't help but look surprised.
"Have his three souls and seven spirits been involved in physiognomy?" Jinxia Yuanjun asked.
Jinxia Yuanjun is not omnipotent, but her expertise in biotechnology happens to involve both the physical body and the soul.
In this skill, if he says he's second, then he's second; even Laozi (the God of War) has to wait in line behind him.
The corresponding Jinxia Yuanjun verified the truth.
In Zhang Xuezhou's case, the physical body is the physical body, and the spirit is the spirit.
This even includes a very interesting cocoon inside the other person's body.
Zhang Xuezhou had previously discussed the separation of the physical body and the soul with Jinxia Yuanjun, and Jinxia Yuanjun felt that Zhang Xuezhou had done just that.
He has always admired researchers who dare to dedicate themselves to their work, and Zhang Xuezhou is clearly one of them now.
Yao Yuanguang said the other party still had a chance of survival, and this might actually be true.
As long as Zhang Xuezhou's three souls and seven spirits return to his body, the other party will 'come back to life'.
"I don't know either," Yao Yuanguang shook his head and said, "Many of my memories are blurry now, and it's difficult for me to recall anything related to the divinations done using physiognomy!"
"Your sect's abilities are beyond my comprehension!"
Jinxia Yuanjun waved her hand, and when she mentioned her test results, Rong Tianding felt somewhat relieved.
As long as Zhang Xuezhou's three souls and seven spirits can escape, there is a possibility that Zhang Xuezhou can return to normal.
The current situation requires tracing where Zhang Xuezhou's three souls and seven spirits have gone. This is not too difficult, as the Xiangmen School is one of the most skilled schools in tracking such matters. Yao Yuanguang will have to handle this task.
After many twists and turns, the matter eventually returned to Yao Yuanguang's hands.
This made Yao Yuanguang open his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he could only sigh and agree.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou still alive, let alone die from touching a taboo, he would surely be lost in the river of time and unable to regain his senses. How could Yao Yuanguang possibly find Zhang Xuezhou?
However, Yao Yuanguang had no choice but to obey Jinxia Yuanjun's orders, and Rong Tianding's unfriendly gaze undoubtedly proved that the young man was on the verge of a breakdown. If he acted too directly, it would likely lead Rong Tianding to make an irrational choice.
No matter how eloquent he is, it can't overcome a person's lack of reason.
Yao Yuanguang had previously discussed with Zhang Xuezhou how to break the deadlock. In fact, a lack of rationality is also a way to break the deadlock, but it's hard to say whether this method will bring good or bad results.
The more rational, calculating, and profit-driven you are, the easier it is for him to trap you.
An irrational, forceful attempt to break the deadlock would shatter all his calculations.
The elixir of longevity was in his hands, but Yao Yuanguang felt that this guarantee of lifespan was unreliable.
He needed to do some serious work, and he also needed to find some clues as to whether Zhang Xuezhou was still alive.
After much struggle, Yao Yuanguang sat down in front of Zhang Xuezhou's body, muttering incantations.
He is skilled in Person-Fixing Technique by their appearance, but he is not incapable of using Star-Fixing Technique. It's just that compared to Person-Fixing Technique, his Star-Fixing Technique skills are really not up to par.
"Hopefully, considering his low cultivation level, I'll be lucky enough to find his three souls and seven spirits, and stop him from fighting with others!"
Yao Yuanguang's gaze swept over Zhang Xuezhou, and after chanting the incantation for a moment, he extended his finger and pressed it into the center of Zhang Xuezhou's forehead.
The sensation was like an empty shell, and Yao Yuanguang felt as if he were touching a dead person.
This situation is very similar to that of Zhang Xuezhou before.
The great scholar Yuan Gu could tell at a glance that Zhang Xuezhou was 'spieling'. Yao Yuanguang was slightly less skilled, but he was hiding in the carriage at the time, only using an invisibility cloth to cover himself, and he also heard Yuan Gu's judgment.
He traced his forehead with his fingers, then reached out and touched Zhang Xuezhou's body before taking out the bamboo slip that Yuan Gu had given to Zhang Xuezhou.
The bamboo slips are blackened and old, seemingly on the verge of decay, but they are extremely precious Law Treasure of Confucian School.
Yao Yuanguang carefully untied the bamboo slip's binding a crack, and then he saw the ancient character for 'benevolence' on the slip.
"Benevolence!"
He uttered the name once, and felt as if a huge bell had been placed over his head. Then the bell was struck, producing a loud, echoing sound of "Ren... Ren... Ren".
A feeling of near-blankness washed over Yao Yuanguang, and he felt as if all the dirty, scheming thoughts in his mind had been swept away in an instant, leaving him unable to muster even a shred of energy to target anyone.
This influence wasn't limited to him.
Behind Yao Yuanguang, Rong Tianding, who was still clutching, trembled as if he had been electrocuted. A purple light flashed over Nezha's body, and his fierceness lessened, replaced by a sense of peace.
Jinxia Yuanjun, however, did not seem to notice anything. She observed the various expressions on everyone's faces and also noticed the faint sounds she was hearing.
"Jin Ding, come here for a second!"
He pondered for only two seconds, then reached out his hand to a disciple several dozen meters away.
"Yes, Master!"
The young man in the distance agreed and then quickly jogged over.
He had only run for five or six seconds when he felt his head buzzing, filled with the huge echo of 'Ren... Ren... Ren', and his facial expression changed completely in just a few seconds.
"I see!"
Jinxia Yuanjun understood.
The stronger one's bloodlust, the more powerful the influence of Law Treasure.
This Law Treasure allows one to abandon the thought of killing, purify the opponent's mind, and gain protection and safety.
Despite her high position and great power, Jinxia Yuanjun rarely harbored murderous thoughts. Even when she had the idea of crushing Yao Yuanguang, it quickly subsided after Nezha awoke, having almost no impact on her.
But others are different.
This even included him, a young inner disciple.
There is competition and some sordid things among the disciples, and Jin Ding was clearly influenced because he still harbored a bloodthirsty nature.
Jinxia Yuanjun had taken notice of this young disciple and allowed him to be baptized by the Law Treasure of Confucian School.
For Jinxia Yuanjun, the sound of the great bell was faint and inaudible, but for those involved, the sound resounded in their hearts like the tolling of a great bell.
This voice even influenced Zhang Xuezhou's soul through physical tracing.
