fifth form

Chapter 3340 Distribution
After the Omega Alliance held two sacrificial ceremonies, Zhang Xuezhou felt his luck was soaring and everything was going smoothly.

The smooth flow of events was something he hadn't anticipated; everything seemed to create a chain reaction, allowing people to benefit from it.

According to Xuanming's theory of fortune, Zhang Xuezhou will not experience dramatic ups and downs in his fortune.

According to the theory of the Three Realms' fortune, Zhang Xuezhou found that his change involved almost no grudges or grievances, making it difficult to cause a backlash of declining fortune.

Normally, his sacrifice to the emperor of a powerful nation would inevitably provoke endless hostility. If he wanted to obtain a top-notch experimental environment to squander, it would inevitably lead to a large number of opponents due to the struggle for power and profit. Furthermore, the changes he guided by stepping into the No. 2 sinkhole would also be targeted by Donghua, the master of the secret place.

Without hostile forces at play, there is no possibility of conflict arising from his gains.

Grean and Zhang Xuezhou have a good relationship. The Red Alliance Committee has given full authority to support the A6 laboratory, and even the serious damage caused by Zhao Tianhua's experiment did not cause any trouble. Meanwhile, the owner of the No. 2 sinkhole has been driven away by Zhang Xuezhou and others.

After much deliberation, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his blazing good fortune did not have the potential to cause a backlash.

If misfortune were to inexplicably strike from other sources, such as causing Zhang Xuezhou to trip and fall to his death, Zhang Xuezhou felt that such a thing was impossible to prevent.

Clutching the long staff left over from the poisonous tree, Zhang Xuezhou muttered incantations and began to use Montespatton's nurturing method to push forward the attempt.

Unlike the mature consciousness of the spirit wood staff on Fangzhang Island, the consciousness of this staff formed from the poisonous tree was very weak, and it was nurtured and tamed by Zhang Xuezhou almost instantly.

Like a wild wolf turned into a domesticated dog, the poisonous tree staff suddenly felt as easy to use as an extension of its own limb.

This is indeed an excellent material for a magical artifact, capable of amplifying control and domain power, thereby amplifying its effects.

"Barton would probably regret it so much he'd vomit blood if he saw this!"

Having learned of the wondrous uses of the poisonous tree from Zhang Xuezhou, Zhou Rihui circled his long staff, admiring it with obvious delight.

Although he had never even entered the seventh sequence, nor had he ever gained control over it, and he didn't understand Zhang Xuezhou's feelings, Zhou Rihui was still happy.

This was a rare moment of joy for him in the No. 2 sinkhole. As he exhaled a sigh of relief, he felt the heaviness in his chest lessen, and he couldn't contain his emotions any longer, letting out a long, loud roar to the sky.

The whistling sound echoed all around. This sound had no power, but it still caused the shells of many poisonous trees to collapse.

Like something rotten and old, the poisonous trees collapsed and broke off one by one, falling to the ground and sending up large amounts of wood chips flying.

Zhang Xuezhou and the others knew very well that any slight movement could affect these tall poisonous trees, which were no different from some plants that spray seeds. Even the slightest touch would cause the seeds to be ejected, and even the sound of footsteps could cause the seeds to scatter.

The collapse of the poisonous tree was inevitable, and no one blamed Zhou Rihui.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran floated back to their original positions, each prying open the decaying tree trunk. Both of them found the remaining wooden staff parts of the poisonous tree with remarkable accuracy.

“It’s a bit heavy!”

The wooden cane, which was light and easy for Zhang Xuezhou, was not so kind to Ren Anran; the two-meter-long cane was almost too difficult for her to pick up.

The poisonous tree poured all its reproductive essence into the wooden staff, transforming its originally deadly nature into a potential spiritual wood magic weapon.

This type of embryo belongs to the wood element, but its properties are similar to those of metals and stones, resulting in its unusual weight.

"By taming the wooden staff through nurturing techniques and then integrating your own control into it, the wooden staff will become light!"

Ren Anran called out from a distance, and Zhang Xuezhou responded from afar.

Ren Anran was somewhat exhausted from dealing with the poisonous trees, so Zhang Xuezhou took over the rest of the task.

His body would occasionally appear in various places, and he would retrieve wooden staffs of varying lengths from the poisonous trees.

“Thirteen wooden staffs!” Not counting the two staffs each held by Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran, there were eleven wooden staffs placed near the giant spirit stone.

These wooden staffs are almost identical in shape to Donghua's magic staffs, and some of them are even longer and thicker.

With piles of top-tier magic weapon embryos laid out before him, even Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat dazzled.

He was a knowledgeable man, but he had never seen such a large pile of magical artifact embryos.

If this kind of magic weapon embryo were just ordinary, that would be fine. The key issue is that as long as it is condensed and continuously nourished, it will become a top-tier magic weapon, and it is very likely to achieve the effect of the Donghua Staff.

“This is not a simple magic weapon,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “The key lies in the amplification effect of the magic weapon. When it is integrated to a deep level, it can even allow people to experience the power of the domain in advance, thereby forming a concept of the domain!”

“This value is immeasurable,” Ren Anran nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou, who only possesses intermittent control over 'fast and slow', once used his domain to lead a large group of people into the No. 2 sinkhole at once.

Zhang Xuezhou used his staff to release domains very few times, but it's hard to say whether his creation of the initial domain was influenced by factors from domains he was familiar with in the past.

Zhang Xuezhou may have already benefited from the positive influence after only a few interactions. If he had continued to interact with the cultivator and used magic weapons to help form a domain, the cultivator would surely be able to follow the clues and guide his own domain to success in the future.

The function of this staff is not limited to combat; its greater function is guidance, like Montespatton's magic staff, propelling people upward.

"I want a stick too!"

After listening to Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran for a long time, Zhou Rihui muttered something in a sullen tone and touched the draft paper in his pocket that contained the chapters on mental enhancement, nurturing, and branding divine marks.

It is indeed difficult to get someone like him, who is used to fighting, to calm down and hone his spirit, but Zhang Xuezhou and others have already paved the way.

There is more than one path to spiritual practice in the world. Zhou Rihui may not have the ability to create a new path, but he will follow it whether he wants to or not.

Let alone Zhou Rihui, Zhou Rihui felt that even if his own father were present, he would still bring a small stool to listen to the lecture.

Ultimately, age doesn't bring anything special to the body except for aging; if you fall behind others, you need to humbly learn from them.

What people fear most is being ignorant of their own limitations and assuming that if others can do it, they certainly can too.

A path to the Ninth Sequence was laid out before them, while Zhou Xin hadn't even touched the edge of the Eighth Sequence in decades, let alone the Ninth Sequence. Naturally, Zhou Rihui wouldn't stubbornly think about how to create and lead it himself.

He adjusted his mindset very quickly, and even began to let go of his obsession with the Xuanjia Fighting Technique, forcibly bending and adjusting his own cultivation.

"This is very likely a ninth-sequence number thirteen!"

Ren Anran glanced at Zhang Xuezhou. Even a scoundrel like Zhou Rihui understood perfectly well what the thirteen wooden sticks meant, though she almost said it directly.

"It just means you have a higher probability of entering the ninth sequence, but it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to succeed!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Wealth is not afraid of scarcity but of unequal distribution; the question is to whom these staffs should be distributed.

Whether these assigned individuals possess sufficient comprehension and creativity to propel themselves into the ninth sequence with the aid of the staff, thus providing valuable reference for those who follow, is another matter entirely.

Such allocation requires attention to the distinction between close and distant relationships, and even more so to whether it can create benefits for the group; otherwise, it will turn into a small-group mentality and ignore the interests of the entire group's upward evolution.

Things shouldn't be done secretly or in private; they need to be discussed openly to determine the final outcome.
