Chapter 3660 Integrating the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique
"What did those people say next?"

While inside the Yin-Yang Secret Land, Zhang Xuezhou heard part of the story, but not the whole thing.

He didn't understand the situation of the Celestial Court, nor did he know how Donghua would deal with the trouble, but there was one good thing: the Yin-Yang Secret Land had been preserved.

Thanks to the Great Array of Everlasting Mountains and Rivers from the Qin Dynasty, the Yin-Yang Secret Land fell into ruin and was gradually repaired, returning to peace.

At the ruins of the Yin-Yang School building, the dried-up well water began to bubble up again, and the ground became damp.

If some flowers, trees and shrubs are planted in these areas, the place will surely become a riot of color in no time.

Even if nothing is done, this secret place will slowly change and will no longer be a desolate wasteland.

Ultimately, this secret place was once the number one secret place in the Southern Continent, and now it has simply returned to its rightful place.

With no more images of the Lingxiao Secret Land in his sight, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and touched the back of his head, whereupon the blinding light vanished instantly.

He looked around at the dense spiritual energy floating in the air and was clearly very satisfied.

These spiritual energies are almost identical to those in the No. 2 sinkhole; bound by a special environment, they are sealed here and do not dissipate as quickly as they would in the outside world.

As long as no one enters and consumes their energy, what Zhang Xuezhou sees now will be what he will see in the future.

"This situation has disrupted my cultivation process. Speaking of which, should I try the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique? It's difficult to directly replicate the cultivation of the True Self Realm in the real world, but promoting the replication of techniques will at least prevent me from copying homework!"

The merger of the Lingxiao Secret Realm and the Kunlun Secret Realm disrupted Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation of magic.

He originally intended to improve his most important survival skills as usual, but the disruption gave him a different perspective.

The reason for this was nothing more than that Zhang Xuezhou felt that the colorful light he saw was more like the origin of the world than a rainbow.

It's impossible for him to search amidst the thunder, gales, and geomagnetic light generated by the collision of the secret realm. If he were to deliberately search in the Celestial Court, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't be able to take away the world's origin.

Moreover, trying this kind of cultivation is not a loss. Judging from the thunderous scene that Zhang Manqian saw, he will have to face the thunderous blows sooner or later, so it is not a bad thing to adapt to it early.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for only three seconds before deciding that he could go and check it out and give it a try.

He had tried to combine the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique with real-world deductions, and modifying the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts shouldn't be a problem.

The biggest problem with the Jade Emperor's Taoist technique lies in the cultivation environment. Without enough lightning to temper the physical body, it will not only be difficult to achieve the Golden Body, but it will also affect the level of Zhang Xuezhou's Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Even the best forging still retains some heat. The two secret realms of Lingxiao and Kunlun are vast, almost like small worlds. Getting them fully on track will inevitably be a long process, and the lightning generated by the collisions and adjustments will be continuous.

If cultivators have sufficient stamina and adequate elixirs and restorative conditions, Zhang Xuezhou believes that the Twelve-Foot Golden Body Technique can be mastered quickly.

Ultimately, when all four conditions—Dharma, companion, wealth, and location—are present, spiritual practice will inevitably proceed smoothly.

After quickly tidying up in the secret place and sensing the amount of spiritual crystals contained in the Bigu Technique, Zhang Xuezhou left the secret place holding the Tai-level Six Talismans.

Activating his Cloud Technique, he lunged directly towards the direction where lightning had flashed in the sky.

The True Self Realm cultivation brings about an internal circulation throughout the body, and the Qi, blood, and magical power of the Heaven and Earth Bridge circulate endlessly. The cultivator's magical power will hardly dissipate, and this characteristic of the realm makes the cultivator's magical power last a long time.

The Yin-Yang School, to which Zhang Xuezhou belongs, has the advantage of abundant magical power and control. When this advantage is brought to its limit, Zhang Xuezhou feels that the consumption when releasing and using spells has decreased by at least half. If this is combined with the transformation and enhancement of magical power brought about by the True Self Realm, the consumption undoubtedly becomes insignificant. In particular, he uses Yang Soul to transform into an infant, and this internal circulation mode makes it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to determine his own limit at the moment.

The Lingxiao Secret Realm is located extremely high, encircling the outer edge of the world. Very few cultivators can fly directly from the ground into the Celestial Court. To find it without knowing its location is a rare feat.

Zhang Xuezhou also used the area of ​​thunder in the sky as a coordinate to search. Whenever thunder roared, it would carry the sound extremely far and give him an accurate location to search for.

"It's all dried up and crumbled like this?"

Within an hour of searching, Zhang Xuezhou had already spotted the shattered secret realm high in the sky.

The once complete Lingxiao Secret Realm was divided into various fragments of different sizes, involving dozens of locations. Only the central area, to which the Great Heavenly Evolution Boundless Array belongs, was preserved relatively intact.

The damage to the Kunlun Secret Realm was equally severe; Zhang Xuezhou felt that the destruction rate was likely close to one-third.

The Miaofa Palace, where he used to live, was surrounded by ponds, but now it has turned into a dried-up lake with gaps in the water. Only the Yaochi Palace and Taoyuan, which are under special protection, are relatively intact.

Through the streaks of free-flowing purple lightning, Zhang Xuezhou could discern the general situation.

If it weren't for the profound foundation of the Lingxiao Secret Realm, and the fact that this secret realm was also pulled and tugged by the Yin-Yang Secret Realm and the Taishan Prefecture Lord's Secret Realm, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Donghua's actions could have directly destroyed the Celestial Court.

"How did this thing manage to pull the secret realm and change its orbit?"

Zhang Xuezhou had witnessed the pull of secret realms in the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan. As long as an array is set up inside and outside the secret realm, and powerful inanimate objects are used to exert force, the secret realm will be pulled and moved. However, pulling and colliding the secret realm is a difficult task.

This knowledge clearly transcends the Three Realms, yet it is being utilized by Donghua.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand, nor did he deliberately seek out such an answer.

After only a brief observation of the terrain, Zhang Xuezhou forcefully entered the lightning-filled area caused by the continuous adjustment process and found a place to settle down on the back of the secret place.

He had barely reduced the effect of the lightning protection spell when he instantly became a conductor of lightning.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a series of loud booming sounds around him, and streaks of free-flowing lightning rapidly converged on him.

The familiar stinging and numbness of being struck by lightning quickly surged into Zhang Xuezhou's mind. He sipped the Life Creation Pill in his mouth, and golden light rose from his body. His body quickly transformed into a three-zhang tall figure, then into a five-zhang tall figure, and then a seven-zhang tall figure.

When Zhang Xuezhou mastered the Body Technique, he also relied on the Law of Heaven to get through it, but it was not as profound and far-reaching as the Jade Emperor's Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique.

He has now picked up his old ways and started anew.

"I was initially just curious about the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique. It was only after my sister observed the future and made predictions that I decided to integrate it. I have this need. Why would the Jade Emperor have to endure being struck by lightning to cultivate such an ability?"

The Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique is a variant of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. It possesses the ability to protect the physical body, while also emphasizing the ability to withstand the baptism of lightning impacts.

This technique may seem sophisticated, but few people actually need to specifically guard against lightning.

If the Jade Emperor endured 1,750 tribulations of lightning simply to avoid being killed by the Emperor, Zhang Xuezhou felt that such a reason was somewhat absurd.

"To avoid being struck dead by the lightning controlled by the Emperor, he endured 1,750 lightning tribulations first. With such perseverance in enduring lightning strikes and suffering, wouldn't it be easier to practice something else?"

After considering his reasons, Zhang Xuezhou ultimately succumbed to the same torment of spiritual practice.

No matter how absurd the Jade Emperor's reason for cultivating the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique is, it can at least counter the Emperor's Thunder Domain, and is the only physical cultivation technique that Zhang Xuezhou currently knows that can resist the power of a domain.

If he can adapt to and integrate with it, and extend it to his strengths, he will be able to fight the Demon Lord Tiger Feather Ice Wind Domain for longer, and will have a way out even after the influence of the Void Heaven Palace fades.
