Chapter 3637 The Current Limit

"If we cannot develop our own system, it will be difficult to promote the Heart Sutra in the future!"

Zhang Xuezhou's interpretation of the Heart Sutra is stuck at the eighth level.

This is not only because his level of understanding is substandard, but also because the probability of him deceiving the Western religious leader is ridiculously low.

The Western religious leader not only remembered his manifestation in the Heart Sutra, but must have also come to understand his spiritual energy. They would recognize each other as soon as they came into contact, even if Zhang Xuezhou used spatial distance to reduce the influence and went to the most remote Dongsheng Shenzhou to cultivate.

As a leader in the spiritual realm, it is now difficult for anyone to keep up with his pace, whether in the Three Realms or the real world.

If Zhang Xuezhou wants to push the Heart Sutra to its ultimate level, he can only develop it on his own.

He wasn't someone who could calm his mind and study at the moment, so Zhang Xuezhou simply tossed the Heart Sutra aside, treating it as the first ability he had developed since he began his cultivation to stop progressing.

"Hopefully it will be enough for the future!"

Zhang Xuezhou's spiritual transformation had little impact on his cultivation and entry into the Realm of True Self. His spirit was already incredibly refined, and he could almost perfectly replicate anything he had done once. This improvement was more for the purpose of fighting between Houtu and Hongjun.

Zhang Xuezhou still clearly remembers that Hongjun told him to obtain the origin so that his soul would never perish. Every bit of spiritual power he increases now is a guarantee for the future.

Riding the wave of good fortune, Zhang Xuezhou also pushed his spiritual power to its limit for a considerable period of time.

From a mental perspective, this is his best coping state.

"Once I complete the Realm Technique and push the Physical Body Sainthood Method to its limit, my survivability will be at its peak. Then, with the Spirit Wood Staff, this place will be quite secure. But what will I use to launch an attack in the real world?"

The psychic glow behind his head slowly faded, the white blur faded, and the ravaged wooden furniture in the palace was revealed.

With his pure spiritual power's destructive capabilities enhanced, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he should be even more effective with the Spiritwood Staff.

"Dongfang Shuo, what's wrong with you?"

The new emperor's voice came from outside the palace, accompanied by the deliberate sound of footsteps approaching cautiously.

I feel a little dizzy!

Zhang Xuezhou shook the storage pot and felt that it had turned into two.

Perhaps he mistook some of the fusel oils in alcohol for beneficial substances. Even if one achieves physical enlightenment, one cannot avoid the physiological effects of drinking alcohol. After drinking large amounts of Jiuzhen wine, Zhang Xuezhou inevitably felt somewhat dizzy.

His mind was very clear, but his senses and body were not in sync.

"You're walking with your body bent like a chair, do you need me to help you?"

"Am I walking abnormally?"

As the new emperor stepped through the door, Zhang Xuezhou felt there was nothing unusual about him, but when the emperor mentioned that his body was bent out of shape while walking, Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat confused about the situation.

"I didn't feel myself bending over. I think I just drank over a hundred catties of Jiuzhen wine... I probably need to rest!"

Zhang Xuezhou ultimately attributed everything to the influence of Jiuzhen Wine.

He had indeed drunk too much. Although he didn't have a severe headache like Erlang Shen, Zhang Xuezhou wasn't exactly a normal person at the moment.

You have thorns!

The new emperor, who was personally supporting Zhang Xuezhou, let out a muffled groan and took two steps back from where he was about to approach.

He raised his right hand, which was still bright red from the burst of energy and blood, and felt a sharp, needle-like pain.

He was unexpectedly injured the moment he touched Zhang Xuezhou.

"Is there something wrong with your practice of the Heart Sutra?" the new emperor asked.

"It should be fine. I'm just a little dizzy, and everything seems to appear as two. I'll go home and lie down to sober up!"

Zhang Xuezhou staggered towards the palace gates. The new emperor, on the other hand, looked horrified. He shook his head vigorously, feeling that he was the one who was dizzy.

"Hu Nugan, look at how Dongfang Shuo walks!"

"He walked on his knees!"

"Commander Mao, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Dongfang used the Iron Bridge martial art to walk!"

"Guard Xu, what did you see?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Dongfang's martial arts are superb; he can walk on an iron bridge. This humble servant is far inferior to him!"

The new emperor asked a series of questions, including those from Hu Nugan, a witness at the scene, and also from the Weiyang Palace guards who had rushed over.

The crowd responded in unison, and the new emperor realized that it wasn't a problem with his eyes, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou was walking by folding his body.

Thinking of the way everyone practiced the Heart Sutra, he immediately felt that Zhang Xuezhou's attempt to promote the practice had gone astray.

"Commander Mao, take men and escort Dongfang Shuo out of the palace. Don't let anyone get close to him!"

The new emperor gave a shout and then picked up the seventh level of Wuchao's translation of the Heart Sutra.

His expression changed slightly, realizing that practicing the Heart Sutra was too risky, and it was likely that Zhang Xuezhou would need to return to normal before it could be determined whether he would continue practicing in the future.

"Hunugan, did you make any mistakes in translating this chapter?"

The new emperor was still somewhat cautious. He glanced at the side rooms of the palace and then carefully questioned Wu Chao.

"Your Majesty, I also recognize Lord Dongfang, and I would never misinterpret or harm him!"

Wu Chao pursed his lips.

Zhang Xuezhou once again used his name to practice cultivation. His return to the Western Religion will inevitably be subject to strict investigation, and he may even be tortured to obtain information.

Wu Chao could only be thankful that he lacked cultivation resources and that he had not been in the Western Sect for long. His cultivation of the Heart Sutra had not yet broken through to the seventh level, otherwise he would have been subject to the control of the two sect leaders.

This allowed Wuchao to remain relatively safely within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Not only could he follow Zhang Qian in seeking revenge, but he could also use this incident to ask Zhang Xuezhou for some benefits.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's demeanor left Wu Chao feeling uncertain, as he had never seen anyone from the Western Sect cultivate to such a bizarre state as Zhang Xuezhou.

"Your Majesty, shall I go out of the palace to visit Lord Dongfang?" Wu Chao asked.

The new emperor had intended to show Zhang Xuezhou the benefits Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions, but he never imagined such a thing would happen.

Now everything depends on Zhang Xuezhou regaining consciousness.

The new emperor touched his right hand, his gaze sweeping over Wuchao, who had spoken up on his own initiative.

"You have also suffered misfortune. I have already summoned a physician. You should go with the physician to recuperate. After the Imperial Guard Commander Mao returns to the palace to report, you can come with me to take a look!"

The new emperor made quick arrangements before touching his right hand, frowning, and walking toward Changxin Palace.

"This emperor has reached the True Self realm in cultivation, and he treats his junior brother with utmost courtesy. Junior brother is definitely not a minor official in the Great Han Dynasty!"

The new emperor didn't have the words "True Self Realm" written on his forehead, but he had unleashed his physical strength to resist the impact in the side room. At that time, Wu Chao was busy escaping and couldn't see it clearly, but when the new emperor touched Zhang Xuezhou, Wu Chao could see it clearly.

The combination of top-tier power and True Self Realm cultivation made even the slow-witted Wu Chao understand what this meant.

He was well aware that he had a chance of revenge in the future, but he was also very curious about Zhang Xuezhou's situation in the Han Dynasty.

Based on the behavior of Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor, this has gone beyond the normal scope of a monarch and his ministers.
