fifth form

Chapter 3090 Simple Implementation

Zhang Xuezhou had envisioned a confrontation with Donghua University on several occasions.

If Donghua inherits everything from the Emperor, he will be facing a top-tier cultivator with powerful lightning and killing abilities. The lightning domain derived from the elements of feng shui has extreme striking and destructive power, and once trapped in it, one will die without a complete corpse.

If Donghua possessed everything, it would involve various evasion techniques, and a fully developed evasion technique would be incredibly troublesome, even for Zhang Xuezhou.

If Donghua regains his original abilities, it will inevitably involve the realms of speed and slowness. In this realm, Donghua is the king of speed and can easily reap the lives of those who are unable to break free.

No matter the situation, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to cope.

He considered adding more shields and using Wei Shao'er and others as support to increase his chances of winning.

Zhang Xuezhou also considered setting up an array, and he immediately prepared to use Maoling to accumulate the array materials he needed.

Regardless of whether it's the former or the latter, it means that Zhang Xuezhou can only passively defend himself in order to deal with the threat posed by Donghua.

For Zhang Xuezhou, Donghua was almost a dead end, just like when he faced the mysterious and unpredictable extraterrestrial demons in his early years.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou defeated Huang Daoxian, whose life form was bizarre, he had no confidence whatsoever.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou has seen real hope.

"Control is the ability to control guided by the mind, while domain is a more advanced version. Both are transformed from mental guidance, thus presenting different external manifestations, but no matter which form they take, they cannot escape the essence of mental power!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the furniture that had turned into a pile of wood chips.

Only control can counter control, and only domain can counter domain; this is the ironclad rule recognized by Montespatton.

Zhang Xuezhou also agrees with this pattern, and even acknowledges the advantages and disadvantages of various fields.

There are powerful domains, and there are also domains with terrible manifestations; otherwise, there would be no need for the True Self Realm cultivators to be divided into different ranks.

Zhang Xuezhou isn't even confident in reaching the True Self Realm yet, let alone ensuring the strength of his own domain.

However, Zhang Xuezhou discovered the wonder of cultivating with spiritual power: regardless of whether he possessed a domain, as long as his spiritual power was strong enough, he could resist or penetrate a domain, and even destroy the owner who released the domain.

“All domain powers require external force to make contact with people. For example, the Emperor needs to summon lightning to strike, and Donghua needs to use sharp weapons to kill. Even if they launch a sneak attack, they still need to make contact with their opponent. However, a mental attack does not require physical contact, or even a sound. He is destined to continuously suppress and attack me. So why can't I launch a sneak attack on him? As long as I can withstand Donghua's first wave of attacks, this ability seems to have a chance to counter him!”

With the prestigious road leading to the Western Kunlun Mountains as a backup, Zhang Xuezhou's sneak attack would not turn into a one-way assassination.

If he has the ability, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't mind doing some sneaky counterattacks.

He even harbored resentment towards the Nine Treasures Wine he had left behind in West Kunlun. Not to mention using the Nine Treasures Wine for cultivation, it would be excellent even for tempering one's spiritual power.

"You will receive my nurturing of our spiritual connection. If I am fortunate enough to achieve great things, you will also have a good ending!"

Zhang Xuezhou stared intently at the innate spiritual wood staff.

As a passive weapon, the Innate Spirit Wood Staff is practically Zhang Xuezhou's only effective source of damage, as techniques like the Yellow Sand Entanglement Technique are completely ineffective in combat.

Zhang Xuezhou has extremely high standards for techniques. He doesn't need techniques that involve back-and-forth fighting, but rather techniques that can decisively turn the tide of battle. Moreover, the level of cultivators he targets is extremely high, which means that very few techniques can catch his eye, not even top-tier techniques.

Rather than learning a bunch of filler techniques, he preferred not to learn any, lest it disrupt his potential future supernatural powers.

Under this evaluation standard, his skills were extremely limited when he practiced again.

The power unleashed by the innate spiritual wood staff after it was nurtured truly astonished Zhang Xuezhou. Even without resorting to sneak attacks, he saw the potential to contend with the domain. This didn't require him to reach the True Self Realm, nor did it require him to condense great supernatural powers, nor did it require him to master the Heart Sutra. He only needed to nurture this staff well, and he would have the ability to hold his own in a direct confrontation.

As long as he isn't killed by Donghua's attack, he will definitely be able to counterattack once he recovers, and the counterattack will be fierce.

"If you sincerely lend me a hand, I will be able to find you a good place in the future, so that you can grow freely!"

The green light emanating from the innate spirit wood staff sensed the threat of death and thus submitted to Zhang Xuezhou, even demonstrating the exceptional destructive power brought about by coordinated combat.

This destructive power is a demonstration of value, and it cannot be easily unleashed by Zhang Xuezhou simply by using his staff.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to extinguish the green light, the power he would unleash through his staff would indeed be less than it is now. In the realm of top-tier competition, being even slightly inferior means being unable to exert any influence.

This innate spirit wood staff is indeed better in its original state than when it was replaced.

The original possesses the greatest power, while Zhang Xuezhou cultivates it to be as responsive as an extension of his own limb.

It is very difficult to be perfect in every aspect; it requires a high degree of cooperation.

As long as Green Mango doesn't malfunction and cooperates as much as possible, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could tolerate some minor drawbacks.

He gently stroked the innate spirit wood staff to communicate, employing both the deterrent power of obliteration and verbal promises, a combination of carrot and stick tactics.

Although Zhang Xuezhou was just making empty promises, the intelligence of the Innate Spirit Wood Staff was clearly not that high. Zhang Xuezhou could sense that the green light was somewhat joyful and no longer regarded him as a mortal enemy as before, nor was it forced by the fear of death.

"I hope we get along well!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, indicating that he had already sensed it.

"The Cultivation Method, like the Realm Technique, has nine levels. We should try to reach the highest level possible. You will also experience the various wonders brought by cultivation. Once you are strong enough, you can easily unleash your current power. As long as your opponent's body is not made of iron, we will surely win!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered various ways to evade the attacks, and also considered the many techniques he had heard of, but found that none of them were specifically designed to resist mental attacks.

This made him extremely optimistic about the future of the cultivation method.

As he chanted the mantra again, using his spiritual power to nourish the innate spiritual wood staff, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this time the flow was almost unimpeded.

If the Innate Spirit Wood Staff can withstand continuous nurturing, he will inevitably have to push the nurturing method to its limit in one go.

"Dongda, you've been locked in your room for so long, don't you need to eat or pee?"

Only when the soft voices of children came from outside the side hall did Zhang Xuezhou awaken from the cultivation method of nurturing the innate spiritual wood staff.

He felt a sense of weariness creeping into his mind.

For the first time, he, who was always full of energy, felt that his mental strength had been depleted.

"This staff has been nurtured to the seventh level!"

Having reached the seventh level of cultivation in one session, Zhang Xuezhou was completely satisfied.

If the nurturing process is broken down and everything goes smoothly, he might reach the eighth level after a few more nurturing sessions. If he nurtures himself dozens or even hundreds of times, the nurturing method will reach the limit of the ninth level, thus reaching the level of spiritual inheritance mentioned by Montesbaton.

Compared to reaching one's true self through the Realm Technique and seeking the realm of great supernatural powers, or slowly cultivating the Heart Sutra while lacking the Nine Treasures Wine and having to overcome the Western Sect Leader's scrutiny, Zhang Xuezhou felt that nurturing a divine weapon was much simpler.

After searching high and low, Zhang Xuezhou finally realized that he had found the ultimate method for pursuing perfection in the realm of self-realization.
