Chapter 3636 Backlash
Normally, Zhang Xuezhou would need to cultivate the Heart Sutra to the ninth level in order to guide his spirit to undergo another transformation.

However, when he was struck by Daojun's flying knife, and with the help of the ancient tree's gift, he eliminated the influence of the flying knife that Daojun had left in his soul, Zhang Xuezhou experienced a growth in his spiritual power.

Zhang Xuezhou estimated that once he reached the eighth level of the Heart Sutra, he would likely have sufficient spiritual power to further enhance his spiritual strength.

This experience is hard to replicate, and Zhang Xuezhou never thought of relying on his trauma to grow spiritual strength.

The story of Daojun has been turned over, but the growth of his spiritual power is real.

After being misled again by Wuchao's experience, Zhang Xuezhou successfully passed the verification of the Heart Sutra challenge.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that Zhang Xuezhou had difficulty controlling the transformation of his spiritual power, which led to the discovery of the clues by the leader of the Jieyin Sect.

His accent was incredibly lifelike, and Wu Chao's experiences could be used as a reference. He even had Wu Chao nearby to guard against any unexpected events, but his strength far surpassed Wu Chao's, making it difficult for him to hide.

The secret message that the leader of the Jieyin Sect had hidden in the Heart Sutra instantly backfired, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but drink the Nine Treasures Wine one after another.

Just as the Daoist Lord's flying daggers destroyed the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, the blood-red radiance of the Guiding Master was based on a similar principle.

Zhang Xuezhou adopted a "quantity over quality" approach, allowing the other party to disrupt the spiritual transformation period while simultaneously pushing forward the spiritual strengthening phase, guiding the excessive spiritual power to undergo another qualitative change.

If he could free his hands, Zhang Xuezhou would have no problem erasing the mind control methods of the Guiding Cult Leader, and might even have the power to counter them.

"Hahaha, Jieyin, why don't you hit me harder!"

After drinking the Nine Treasures Wine in succession, Zhang Xuezhou, emboldened by the wine, couldn't help but swear a couple of times, which drew repeated rebukes from the leader of the Jieyin Sect.

“You brat, there are only a few people in the Three Realms. Who exactly are you?” asked the leader of the Guiding Sect.

"Open your eyes and look carefully!"

"If you're so capable, then don't make such a huge light!"

"If you've got the guts, open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously felt that his telekinetic abilities were only average, and could only be used for lighting.

However, he discovered that lighting also had its advantages. As his understanding of the Heart Sutra improved, the light became so bright that it was difficult for people to notice him. They could only see him shining like a light bulb, making it difficult to discern his true appearance.

"I don't believe you'll never use the power of the Heart Sutra in your entire life!" the leader of the Guiding Sect cursed from afar. "If I ever discover your whereabouts, you're dead!"

"Even if I master the Heart Sutra, it's useless. What would I use it for? If you're so capable, give me something more powerful that I can use every day!"

Zhang Xuezhou skillfully advanced the spiritual enhancement chapter, continuously combining the spiritual power honed from "Entwining Dragons and Circling Pillars: True Fire Refining the Golden Body" and the "Heart Sutra" with the original spiritual energy, and then relying on compression to move upward.

The final chapter of the Mental Enhancement section is Chapter Seven, and subsequent developments follow the same pattern as Chapter Seven, relying on quantity to improve quality.

If there is enough quantity, this can lead to a transformation in quality.

This was a cultivation practice that Zhang Xuezhou had previously promoted. He could almost replicate repetitive tasks. Zhang Xuezhou could even use his spiritual power to speak, thus exchanging insults with the leader of the Jieyin Sect.

He responded cheerfully, which drew a barrage of curses from the leader of the Jieyin sect. The leader even repeatedly tried to influence the leader of the Zhunti sect, so that both sides would participate in the manipulation and attack.

"You steal the scriptures we painstakingly developed without any shame; you have absolutely no sense of propriety or decency!"

"It's your honor to be noticed by Donghua!"

"Donghua, go to hell!" Although he was a little dizzy from drinking too much Nine Treasures Wine, Zhang Xuezhou remained very calm. He even pulled Donghua into the conversation.

He and the leader of the cult exchanged insults, seemingly fiercely, but neither of them broke down.

Zhang Xuezhou remained calm, but the leader of the Jieyin Sect had lived a long time, so how could he be broken down by a few words of ridicule and insults?

"Damn it, when exactly did you grant me permission to allow the cultivation of the Seventh Life Wheel?!"

Perhaps because he couldn't break free from the pull and control of the Zhunti Sect Master, the Jieyin Sect Master became more annoyed. While constantly manipulating and disrupting Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation of the Prajna Heart Sutra, he was also trying to recall when he had allowed Zhang Xuezhou to cultivate to the seventh level.

If it were just one layer of control, the destructive effects he caused would be barely acceptable. But if two layers of control were released to achieve this effect, the leader of the Guiding Sect felt that the effect was too poor.

He could even sense Zhang Xuezhou's ever-flowing spiritual power, as if he were consuming some rare and precious treasure. He would destroy some things, and Zhang Xuezhou would repair others.

This spiritual energy was so abundant that it seemed to be waiting for him to destroy and replenish it.

"What kind of elixir did you use to assist in practicing the Heart Sutra?"

If there were some rare and precious treasure in the world that could help with the practice of the Heart Sutra, the leader of the Jieyin Sect would find it very interesting.

"As long as you tell me how to practice the Heart Sutra, I can tell you how to continue your practice and progress. Our Western Religion also welcomes such a talented person as you!"

When Zhang Xuezhou bows his head, he truly does so; when the leader of the Jieyin Sect asks for help, he remains aloof and superior.

Even if the leader of the Jieyin Sect had a bad attitude, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't gamble on the character of such an old killer.

In his eyes, the purple aura that appeared due to the excess of spiritual energy began to transform, presenting an introspective scene of shifting stars, as if the galaxies of the universe were flowing in his eyes.

This is a limit that Ren Yisheng never reached, nor was it touched in Ren Anran's deductions. Zhang Xuezhou also lacks understanding of this level of spiritual power.

His spiritual energy is far less than that of the ancient tree, but the quality of his spirit has surpassed that of the ancient tree.

It's like the contrast between a mountain and a vast ocean. The ocean can still destroy a mountain, but it takes a long time. Even an ancient tree would find it difficult to control or influence Zhang Xuezhou.

But Zhang Xuezhou's steps will not stop here; he can still move forward.

According to the theoretical deductions of Ren Anran and others, the pursuit of spiritual energy is almost limitless. Even if he does not undergo another spiritual transformation, his spiritual energy will inevitably grow.

"That's enough to deal with you!"

Zhang Xuezhou compared the ancient tree to the Western religious leader, implying that the Western religious leader was inferior to the ancient tree.

The outcome of the current conflict between Zhang Xuezhou and Gu Shu is uncertain and will inevitably require a long struggle to find the answer, but striking at the Western religious leader is not that difficult.

The Western religious leader left control methods in the Heart Sutra, which are similar to the soul-stirring beast control technique that Huang Daoxian suffered. If Huang Daoxian's mental strength is far higher than Zhang Xuezhou's, the other party can also break free from the control and even turn against Zhang Xuezhou.

This principle also applies here.

The galaxy in his eyes appeared, then enveloped the blood-red light that was rampaging and causing destruction in his mind.

"Damn it...you...humph~"

Amidst the painful groan of the Guiding Master, the crimson light used to control the back gate of the Heart Sutra snapped inch by inch.

A piercing, mournful shriek rang out, then vanished the instant their mental connection was severed.
