Chapter 3468 Visitor from the Void
"Who killed you?"

Zhang Xuezhou's physical body could fight and tear apart a flying zombie head-on. His bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs during his resurrection were almost clearly seen by Shi Wudao and Emperor Jing.

The Corpse School is particularly adept at studying corpses and has a clear understanding of the structure of every part of the body.

Shi Wudao could sense that Zhang Xuezhou's physical body was stronger than before, and because of this, he was very curious about who could kill Zhang Xuezhou.

But his question was destined to remain unanswered. Zhang Xuezhou's death was somewhat embarrassing, and he was too lazy to talk about his own experiences.

Although Zhang Xuezhou's physical body has been formed, everything he had envisioned has undoubtedly been ruined.

He used Kong Ning as a comparison test, he refined a large number of pills as preparation, and he invited the new emperor to help guide the fusion of heaven and man. Everything was well prepared, but things did not go as planned.

Zhang Xuezhou felt things shouldn't have turned out this way, but in reality, they did.

This was a situation he disliked; it seemed more like he had escaped death by sheer luck than by relying on his own abilities to overcome the risks.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou had intended to use the luck of Chang'an City to seek everything to go smoothly, the feeling of being out of control when he actually stepped on the tightrope was extremely exhausting.

It's like a general who plans all sorts of scenarios, but during the battle, unexpected events occur and things get out of control. Even if he wins the battle by chance, the general still needs to examine his own gains and losses.

Not to mention that Zhang Xuezhou also realized that he had attracted the attention of the giant snake and had inexplicably gained a potential high-risk target.

Perhaps at some point he will be guided by the other party's location, thus achieving his arrival.

Whether this happens in the Three Realms or the real world, Zhang Xuezhou felt things would be extremely bad.

"I probably won't be able to fly back to Chang'an!"

The attainment of physical sainthood allowed Zhang Xuezhou to maintain his physical strength at its peak, ensuring that his performance would not decline. Every move he made exuded power, but Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that this kind of power could not be maintained for long.

How long do you need to recuperate after recovering from a near-death experience?

Zhang Xuezhou did not answer Shi Wudao's question, but instead made a comparison, wanting to hear about Shi Wudao's situation after his resurrection.

"I need a year and a half to recover after my resurrection," Shi Wudao replied. "How come you look completely unharmed? Could it be that engraving the Seal of Life and Death on the Reincarnation Stone allows for a perfect resurrection without any damage?"

"I don't have your experience of resurrection, so I can't make a comparison. If you like, you can try it too. There are still seventy-one of these Reincarnation Stones left, and there are currently many opportunities to use them!"

"I'll probably give it a try!"

Shi Wudao had not been enthusiastic about the Reincarnation Stone before, after all, he had already branded it with life and death.

But seeing Zhang Xuezhou fully recovered while he himself was neither human nor ghost, it would be impossible for him not to feel envious.

Regardless of whether it's a yang spirit or a yin spirit, only immortality is the ultimate truth.

"This is Youdu Mountain!"

"This should be Mount Luofu!"

"This might be Taozhi Mountain!"

"This place should be Luoshan Mountain in Fengdu, Sichuan!"

"Probably in the Longhu Mountain area!"

"It must be in the Netherworld Ancient Path of Yelang Kingdom!"

"This place is very likely the Loulan Ancient Mountain!"

……

Shi Wudao felt envious and kept urging Emperor Jing to inquire about Zhang Xuezhou's involvement with the Reincarnation Stone.

After some discussion and verification, Zhang Xuezhou became familiar with the general area, while Emperor Jing was familiar with the territory of the Han Dynasty and even had knowledge of the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Aside from a few difficult-to-identify locations, thirty-six secret sites containing Reincarnation Stones were found within the territory of the Great Han Dynasty. "How could there be so many secret sites? We searched repeatedly back then, hoping to find a place to live and study them..."

The name Shi Wudao is destined to be repeated over and over again.

Although the dark and mysterious place is haunted by ghosts and filled with dangers, and is only suitable for certain schools of thought to practice magic, it is still a secret place.

In the past, people searched desperately for a secret place but could not find it; now, it is produced one after another like beans being poured out of a pot.

"Don't think there are many such secret places. The territory of the Han Dynasty is vast. These secret places are only one in a prefecture. You usually travel on the main road and have never been to those deep mountains and forests. How could you possibly encounter these secret places!"

Emperor Jing, however, was unimpressed.

Even if the roads in the world are trampled by thousands of people, there are also those skilled in flying and leaping from south to north. These people either travel on the main roads or sweep past in a flash when they fly.

Many cultivators lament that the ancients had exhausted all the opportunities in the world, but many other places remained unexplored.

Emperor Jing was not particularly interested in entrusting his life and death to the corpse, but he would cooperate with the Corpse-less Dao until the two were able to separate from the flying zombie's body.

"Dongfang Shuo, could you please reveal the Yin-Yang Secret Realm...?"

Emperor Jing was more concerned with the Yangpo Transformation Technique, hoping to obtain a Yangpo Body.

This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Without taking elixirs or nourishing it with spiritual energy, it would take at least several years of arduous practice to even begin to take shape.

Just as Emperor Jing was about to order Zhang Xuezhou to investigate the Yin-Yang Secret Land to see if there was any possibility of restoring its spiritual energy, Zhang Xuezhou was nowhere to be seen.

Having completed the discussion as always, Zhang Xuezhou left very quickly.

"He didn't wait for nightfall to cross the Yellow Springs Road; he activated the Yin-Yang Two Elements Array and left to another secret place!"

In the distance of the secret realm, the Five Elements Array flashed with light. Shi Wudao sighed softly, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou's previous array setup was indeed convenient, at least for traversing the secret realm easily and effortlessly.

"I really wish he hadn't left!"

Emperor Jing sighed, clearly hoping that Zhang Xuezhou would pay more attention to the Yin-Yang Secret Land, and even restore its spiritual energy, and not treat Mount Tai as a temporary stopover.

"Why is he staying here instead of leaving?!"

Shi Wudao gave a muffled reply, and his flying, stiff body leaped up and headed towards the exit of the secret realm, clearly intending to search for the second Reincarnation Stone.

For a moment, they remained silent, only able to wait for time to slowly pass.

In the secret realm of the Yin-Yang School, Zhang Xuezhou was genuinely seeking a way to activate the spiritual energy of the secret realm.

Ordinary blessed lands lack the power to create a single array, and thus have to use spiritual jade and other materials to replenish the array's energy. This secret place, however, has been equipped with the Yin-Yang School's Spirit Gathering Array, the Great Qin Dynasty's Mountain and River Eternal Stability Array, and Zhang Xuezhou has also added a Five Elements Array. Such luxurious construction also means that the conditions of the Yin-Yang Secret Land are ridiculously strong.

The only problem is that the Yin-Yang School's array artifacts are in the hands of the Qin Emperor, and to activate the spiritual energy, one must get past the Qin Emperor.

"We can only take it slow and steady!"

Zhang Xuezhou eventually found a crevice in the ground.

The spiritual energy here is purer, much better than the cold and yin energy of the Reincarnation Stone. Moreover, it's very safe here, so you won't be taken by Shi Wudao to study your body after you travel back to the real world.

Zhang Xuezhou lay down and quietly waited for the time travel to begin while recovering his strength.

He miscalculated the integration of his physical body with various magical techniques, which led to his unexpected death, but his time travel was very fixed.

When the time came, Zhang Xuezhou switched into shuttle mode.

As endless darkness descended, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Like a small boat sailing on the sea, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if something was hidden in the void, as if it would capsize his boat at any moment.

A bad feeling flashed through his mind, and he saw that there was already another person in the enclosed greenhouse used for passage.
