Chapter 3077 Enlightenment and Utilization
"The Suihou Pearl has been cleaved open!"

Zhang Xuezhou was pressed firmly against the tomb door.

He could see the immense power released by the Suihou Pearl. This power had a chilling stimulation, enough to stiffen a person's body, but also a gentle soothing effect, constantly restoring their body to normal.

The sword that flew out of nowhere not only severed Rong Tianding's supernatural power to control his servants and cut off half of his right hand, but also split the Suihou Pearl, which was placed on the ground, in two.

The immense aura not only ravaged Zhang Xuezhou and his companions, but also severely damaged the flying zombies.

Unlike them, Zhang Xuezhou and the others' gentle aura was destroying the flying zombies, while their cold aura was restoring the flying zombies' mobility.

"What a loss! What a loss!"

Looking at the flying zombie clutching the limp Crimson Sky Sword, Zhang Xuezhou murmured repeatedly.

In his mind, Yangling, which he called a cesspool, was extremely suitable for hiding things. The people who should have been beaten and made trouble were either dead or old, and the place had become a stinking and deadly dark place. The Chixiao Sword, an unpopular treasure, was extremely suitable to be stuffed here.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that the living people didn't bring trouble, but the dead people did.

It would be difficult for him to reclaim the Crimson Sky Sword; perhaps only the Shadow Follows Technique could allow him to steal it successfully.

While there's still a chance to wrest the Crimson Sky Sword back from the flying zombie, it's unlikely that the Suihou Pearl, cut in two, will be returned.

"Cousin, how are you feeling? Can you still take control?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

"My body is in terrible pain, and I can only hang here to stay alive for now," Rong Tianding said, pursing his lips. "I've really lost out this time!"

"As long as this guy is hiding in Yangling, we'll catch him sooner or later!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the retreating flying zombies.

The stone door behind them blocked their bodies, causing them to be pressed against the stone door and unable to move due to the impact. The flying zombie, on the other hand, had nothing to lean against and was constantly pushed back by the aura of the Suihou Pearl.

An unwilling roar came from the darkness, and the flying zombie's figure grew dimmer and dimmer, eventually making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to pinpoint its location.

"Without the Suihou Pearl, it would be quite difficult for us to get in and out of here," Rong Tianding said regretfully.

"It's just being cut into two pieces. There should still be some power left, enough for us to use," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"My cousin is so magnanimous!"

Over the past few years, Rong Tianding had done so much with the help of the Suihou Pearl. Seeing the Suihou Pearl cut open, Rong Tianding felt as if his heart had been pierced.

But Zhang Xuezhou's words of comfort put Rong Tianding at ease.

"Don't be discouraged, let's get our hands back together first!"

"Luckily, I swallowed that old lotus root. Otherwise, if we had been held down by this aura, I would have bled to death!"

"The Nine Revolutions Qi Integration Technique has also come into play!"

The cut surface of Rong Tianding's severed arm was very complete, just like the wooden bed that Huo Qubing cut with his sword; the cut surface could be considered smooth.

Whether it was the severed hand or the incision on Rong Tianding's body, the incision was covered with a dense layer of blood vessels, and there was no sign of bone marrow flowing out or blood gushing out.

To be fair, they were a bit disheveled during the fight, but their ability to save their own lives was never lacking.

An ordinary person would only be able to flee in a sorry state after being beaten to this extent. It would take until their injuries healed and they could call on three or five skilled friends to make a comeback. Zhang Xuezhou and his group, on the other hand, only needed to wait for the impact to end, pick up their arms, and reattach them to their bodies.

The combination of the Taiqing True Technique and the Nine Revolutions Harmony Technique, along with the added effect of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, is enough for them to cope with most injuries.

If the Nine Revolutions Qi Integration Technique could be extended to vital parts such as the head and heart, even if they were killed, they could recover as normal as long as their heads were retrieved and put back on their bodies.

"It's always best to listen to your cousin when it comes to cultivation!"

Rong Tianding nodded. What independent cultivators lack most is not resources or inheritance, but a margin for error.

Just one mistake, and the rogue cultivators will fall to the ground and never get up again, only getting worse and worse, and even if they were once geniuses, they will only become ordinary people.

Zhang Xuezhou and others repeatedly made mistakes but always rose through the ranks. Even when they lost an arm or a leg, they would only smile slightly, like an unbreakable piece of chewing gum that could keep moving forward.

Rong Tianding could only be thankful that his guide's path of cultivation was very accurate and suited their circumstances and situation.

“Once you attain supernatural powers, you can further develop the Nine Revolutions Qi Harmony Technique. When we have a large number of Life Creation Pills in the future, we can cultivate to a higher level and reach the top. That will be the truly carefree life,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Just thinking about being hacked to death and then getting back up makes me very excited," Rong Tianding said. "I've already thought of a hundred ways to ambush someone from behind!"

“You’re really good at using sneak attacks,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

Rong Tianding's physical condition was different from Zhang Xuezhou's, and the two used it in different ways.

Zhang Xuezhou echoed his agreement and also discussed how to leverage his own strengths in spiritual practice.

It wasn't that he and Rong Tianding were so idle; rather, Sui Houzhu's continuous attacks had made it difficult for them to move.

Zhang Xuezhou could struggle forward, but his struggle was meaningless; it would be better to wait until the power of Suihou Zhuwei was completely dispelled.

But as they waited, Rong Tianding's face began to turn pale. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the influence of Sui Houzhu had not yet dissipated, and it was still emanating two completely different auras.

It's unclear what Sui Houzhu went through before that led to this endless trouble.

"I remember that when the Suihou Pearl was cut into two pieces, it seemed to be able to be transformed into a magical artifact!"

Unless someone is mentally ill, a normal person wouldn't think of destroying a treasure in its entirety.

Moreover, the opportunities for the instrument to play a role were limited, and Zhang Xuezhou never destroyed the Suihou Pearl.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't completely cut the Suihou Pearl either. After all, Zhang Xuezhou was impersonating Ying Fusu at the time, but he didn't have Ying Fusu's Tai'a Sword, and he hadn't tested the effect of the Yuchang Sword with lightning, so he couldn't completely cut the Suihou Pearl.

It was only at this point that he unexpectedly obtained two Suihou Pearls in the ensuing fight.

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever!"

Zhang Xuezhou opened his mouth and shouted.

As the shout subsided, Sui Houzhu, lying on the ground, remained motionless.

This forced him to drink heavily again.

When the shout was given for the third time, Zhang Xuezhou saw the eight large characters on the Suihou Pearl appear, as if they had exchanged a secret code.

"receive!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and as he activated his magic, the Suihou Pearl, now split into two pieces, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

My palm was covered in cold frost for a short moment, and then it turned warm.

This constant back-and-forth change sent a shiver down Zhang Xuezhou's spine.

Even steel struggles to withstand repeated hot and cold stimuli; how could Zhang Xuezhou's body withstand such erosion and repeated recovery, especially given the intensity of this impact?

After repeatedly striking his palm dozens of times, cracks began to appear.

Dense, fine blood vessels appeared, as if his body had developed a protective layer, or perhaps it had become a unique kind of spiritual silk lotus root. Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body's resilience was terrifyingly strong.

The bad thing is that Suihou Zhu's power is stronger, but the good thing is that it is not easy for him to obtain his own blood, and Suihou Zhu helped him complete the blood-collecting process.

Following Qin Shi Huang's instructions, Zhang Xuezhou gripped and squeezed the pearl in his palm, quickly smearing the blood onto the Suihou Pearl.
