fifth form

Chapter 3494 Meeting
For Zhang Xuezhou, who once mastered the Hunyuan Wuji Formation, once the location was determined, he would not lose his way no matter which of the 360 ​​peaks of the Ten Thousand Mountains he reached.

The area where Zhu Jiuyin soaked in the hot spring was not hard to find; it was only a thousand miles away from the sacred site.

In just half an hour, Zhang Xuezhou had already appeared thousands of miles away.

"safely!"

Using his magical sound technique, Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and heard a familiar response, which delighted him.

Zhang Xuezhou nimbly jumped into the slightly cool hot spring. He reached out and scooped up a handful of water, from which Ren Anran's voice could be heard again.

"How did you get into the water?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in astonishment.

"That Zhu Jiuyin held me for a while, but something seemed to have happened, and he suddenly left. The spirit jade used to condense the Yang Soul Body also fell into the water. I could only enter the water and use the spirit jade to help the Yang Soul Body to take shape again!"

Zhang Xuezhou and others drew upon their physical bodies to rapidly form their Yang Soul incarnations. Ren Anran, however, clearly had no way to draw upon the physical body and could only rely on her Yang Soul incarnation to cultivate.

According to Zhang Xuezhou and others' speculations, the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture is the only cultivation technique for the Yang Soul Body.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Xuezhou immediately understood that Ren Anran had obtained the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture from Zhu Jiuyin, which enabled her to condense into her current water-like form.

This made him feel both relieved and fearful.

Many things were considered again and again. The various aspects involving time travel were calculated in an ideal way. Furthermore, the fact that Ren Yisheng's soul was separated from his body for a long time, and that cases such as Dou Ying and others maintained the survival of their yang soul through the death of their physical bodies, provided evidence for this. Everything was theoretically supported, but actual verification was not the same as theory.

Ren Anran faced extremely high risks; if even one step was missing due to unforeseen circumstances, it could lead to unpredictable risks.

What's the situation with the water on you?

"I don't know either. Zhu Jiuyin only sent me a golden light to impart the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture, without telling me how to cultivate it. I studied it for a while, and then promoted the cultivation of Yang Soul according to the scripture. It may have been mixed in when I was in the water and when I was condensing the Yang Soul Dharma Body!"

"How long have you been practicing this way?"

"Maybe ten minutes!"

Putting aside any lingering hope, Zhang Xuezhou quickly confronted the reality he needed to face.

He stared at the water persona that Ren Anran had transformed into, and was somewhat surprised. He also asked her why her Yang Soul incarnation was mixed with lake water.

At first, he thought that Ren Anran might have made a mistake in her cultivation. But when Ren Anran mentioned that her cultivation time was only ten minutes, Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that Ren Anran had indeed touched the threshold of the Yang Soul Transformation Technique.

This speed cannot compare to the instantaneous grasping and shaping of Zhu Jiuyin, but the speed of pushing and shaping is more than a hundred times faster than before.

“These four pieces of spirit jade are a bit small,” Ren Anran said. “If I had the conditions of the No. 2 sinkhole, I should be able to cultivate to a more normal state within ten minutes!”

Ren Anran reached out her right hand to grab Lingyu, and just as she pulled Lingyu out of the water, Lingyu fell back into the waves, smashing Ren Anran's right hand into a pile of water droplets.

"The cultivation conditions here are a bit poor!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the four pieces of spirit jade provided by Zhu Jiuyin. These spirit jades were probably used to nourish the spiritual herbs cultivated in the herb garden, and the spirit jades were not small in size.

In the Three Realms, cultivators who can use spirit jade for cultivation are actually quite rare. Most people rely on taking medicine and hard work to improve their cultivation. Four spirit jades are already a luxury. However, for Ren Anran, who has seen the Qin Meng Secret Stone and the environment of the No. 2 sinkhole, these four spirit jades are somewhat stingy and are unlikely to help Ren Anran condense into an ordinary human form in a short period of time.

"It's incredible that you've reached this level in decades!"

With no possibility of death and having reconnected with Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran couldn't help but marvel when she looked at him. This was a completely different face from the one in reality; only the soul within the physical body remained the same, making Ren Anran feel no sense of unfamiliarity.

Knowing that the conditions provided by Zhu Jiuyin were already top-tier in the Three Realms, Ren Anran found it hard to imagine how Zhang Xuezhou could break through the encirclement in such a world, or even be more powerful than in reality.

“Perhaps mindset determines destiny,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “Our original society lacked the strength of individual cultivators, which led to the group working together to drive social progress. As a result, the development of the whole society was faster than here. My philosophy at the time was able to keep up with some great cultivators, so I calmly accepted the development that has led to the present!”

Zhang Xuezhou reached down and picked up the spirit jade from the bottom of the water, then took a cloth bag, wrapped it around his body, and tied it to his body.

His rise to power in this world was nothing special; it was simply due to a different education. While he didn't fit in with many people, Zhang Xuezhou was able to communicate with some great cultivators on a relatively equal footing, thereby gaining considerable benefits and gradually climbing to his current position.

His growth wasn't about leaping from one platform to another, but rather about constantly moving within the top circles, eventually transforming himself into one of the top.

Zhang Xuezhou's experience also corresponds to Donghua's future possibilities. Donghua has even experienced a world of development more than Zhang Xuezhou. Whether in terms of strength or thinking, there is nothing to criticize. Zhang Xuezhou's development speed is fast, but the other party's development speed is even faster.

Zhang Xuezhou quietly explained the situation he was facing, and the details made Ren Anran gasp.

In reality, Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need to practice or spar. Everything is simply because this world has extremely high-intensity competition, which makes many things in reality seem like children playing house, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to handle them with ease.

“If the situation you’re facing is this complicated, then you can’t be confined to this mountainous region,” Ren Anran said.

“Your matter is the most important,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “I have two directions at the moment. One is to seek out the outbreak of spiritual energy in the Evil Luoschuan Holy Land, and the other is to send the Tai-level Six Talismans back to the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum in exchange for the array artifacts of the Yin-Yang Secret Land, so as to restore the Yin-Yang Secret Land to the number one secret land in the Southern Continent, thereby helping you to recover!”

"I should be fine using the spirit jade to suspend it!"

"We don't need to follow the professor's path!"

Ren Yisheng had relied on the Soul Jade for nearly two years, during which he suffered greatly. Zhang Xuezhou clearly did not want Ren Anran to live such a miserable life.

The situation he faced was somewhat complicated, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't rush it.

Compared to trying to solve problems from both sides, Zhang Xuezhou would obviously prioritize addressing Ren Anran's issue. Moreover, matters involving Ren Anran are not a matter of choice; given Zhang Xuezhou's capabilities, he would undoubtedly prioritize her.

“You have strong judgment, which direction do you think I should choose?” Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Naturally, I'll be the first one!"

Ren Anran responded without hesitation.

Given that you've already met Zhu Jiuyin, completing the first task might not be that difficult.

The surge of spiritual energy will not last long, and the violent impact is extremely detrimental to cultivation. This will severely test Ren Anran's ability to seize the opportunity.

Restoring the spiritual energy conditions of the Yin-Yang Sacred Land would bring lasting and long-lasting effects, but the probability of Zhang Xuezhou escaping unscathed from the Qin Emperor is low. If things were easy, Zhang Xuezhou would have already taken over the Yin-Yang Secret Land long ago.

"Don't worry, I used these four spirit jades to test the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture. Even if I can't seize the opportunity to restore my original strength, I can at least transform into a normal human form. If all else fails, I'll have the four spirit jades to assist me in my cultivation!"

Shaking off the hot spring water from her body, Ren Anran transformed into a wisp of white mist and drifted into Zhang Xuezhou's hand.

Her words relieved Zhang Xuezhou.

After flying from south to north and back and forth until now, everything has finally returned to normal.
