Chapter 3663 Carrying
"If something is wrong with your cultivation, it must be because your cultivation method is wrong. I said back then that there was something wrong with the cultivation method of being struck by lightning, and I didn't expect it to be true!"

The Jade Emperor had made it very clear before that Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation was accidental.

If the Jade Emperor hadn't come to inform him, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would inevitably have to practice lightning cultivation upon returning to the real world.

Knowing the truth is a good thing, but Zhang Xuezhou can't help but feel a headache because his own situation in reality is completely different.

It was one thing that his cultivation technique was difficult to replicate, but the fusion of the Twelve-Zhang Golden Body Technique was equally difficult to replicate. To make matters worse, he was struck by lightning in Zhang Manqian's premonition.

"No wonder my sister said I was wailing. It seems I really have no choice but to tough it out. Tiger Feather is proficient in the Ice and Wind Domain, how could he create lightning?"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't understand the situation, and he could only attribute it to the influence of the world's origin.

Regardless of how his original plan failed, Zhang Xuezhou still had to do what he was supposed to do.

As the Jade Emperor said, he did indeed need to go to the Western Paradise to see what was going on.

Zhang Xuezhou's journey to the Western Religion was simple and easy. He could even easily reach the secret place of Mount Milu. He only needed to use the traces of the favored place left by 'Bai' to travel continuously, which was faster than flying.

"Li Shaojun has been running around Xiniu Hezhou for so many years and hasn't come back to report anything!"

It was easy for Zhang Xuezhou to go to Xiniu Hezhou, but it was not easy to get things done.

His initial request in Xiniu Hezhou was to deal with 'Bai', and later he sought to retrieve the remains of Zhu Jiuyin.

'Bai' was controlled by Donghua, while Zhujiuyin's yang soul body was in his mansion in Chang'an City. Things were a bit of a mess. Zhang Xuezhou did not receive a reply from Li Shaojun, and he could not openly use Zhujiuyin's flesh and blood to refine pills in front of him. So many things were delayed.

All scheming is no match for seizing the opportunity; practicing the Heart Sutra and severing the divine thoughts controlled by the Master of Guidance did indeed bring about changes.

Both Donghua and the Jade Emperor set their sights on these two leaders.

The Western religion was now in a difficult position and had no choice but to cooperate.

This is indeed a good time to act. Zhang Xuezhou has obtained the Jade Void Palace's token, so he can be considered half a member of the Celestial Court. There is no problem in cooperating with the great immortals of the Celestial Court.

"Favoritism!"

Zhang Xuezhou cultivated for several days on the back side of the Lingxiao Secret Land, and the direction he landed in was no longer Mount Tai.

But this time he didn't get lost. He flew no more than two thousand miles in the direction the Jade Emperor pointed out. After Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly guided him with the power of favor, he was pulled onto the Favor Path from Fengxize to the secret land of Milu Mountain in Xiniuhe Prefecture.

The mark left by 'Bai' is still in effect; with just one shuttle, Zhang Xuezhou can travel five hundred miles.

On the path to favor, Zhang Xuezhou could also sense the length of this path.

After traversing the area several times, Zhang Xuezhou was not far from Broken Soul Ridge.

He abandoned the path of favor and then rushed towards the distant Taoist temple.

To be fair, after Zhang Xuezhou entered the True Self Realm, he was almost able to ignore attacks. Even if lightning struck for days, he would only smile slightly. However, he would not lack the caution he needed.

Donghua had taken the elixir of immortality, extending his lifespan to 1,500 years. Zhang Xuezhou was clearly no less capable than him, and coincidentally, he also had the means to activate the art of destiny.

Zhang Xuezhou has benefited from various techniques involving luck, destiny, and realms, and he will also make up for his shortcomings to avoid being found out.

"Master Zhenyuan!"

Even when they were still several miles apart, Zhang Xuezhou had already shouted out.

The sound drifted to the Taoist temple, and Zhang Xuezhou's men had already drifted there as well.

"Are you naming the Taoist temple today?"

When Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the Taoist temple, Zhenyuan Shenjun was hanging a plaque to mark the name of his temple.

"The Emperor changed the way the Kunlun Holy Land operates, so Kunlun is far away from here. I am finally at peace and can even give my own Taoist temple a name," Zhenyuan Divine Lord stroked his beard and smiled.

“Aren’t you afraid of Kunlun?” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It's best to avoid unnecessary battles. I don't want to fight Xuan Nu without thinking. If I win, I'll attract a lot of people, and if I lose, I'll suffer the loss!" Zhenyuan Divine Lord was obviously very happy about the relocation of Kunlun Holy Land. He even bought a pen, ink, and a plaque himself, and spent a long time composing before putting pen to paper.

"What is the name of your Taoist temple?"

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't illiterate, but he did have some difficulty understanding the old texts.

Zhang Xuezhou hadn't yet recognized the words that Zhenyuan Shenjun had written crookedly on the plaque.

"A divine abode!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun stroked his beard with a hint of pride, clearly satisfied with the name.

Upon hearing the name chosen by Zhenyuan Shenjun, Zhang Xuezhou felt that everyone was terrible at naming things.

"What, is my name bad?"

Because he was so familiar with Zhang Xuezhou, there was no need for flattery or formalities. It was precisely this familiar attitude that allowed Zhenyuan Shenjun to know his true thoughts.

After Zhang Xuezhou didn't praise him, Zhenyuan Shenjun belatedly realized what was going on.

“Anyone with a nice place can call it a fairy’s abode or a peaceful haven; this name isn’t very unique,” ​​Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You actually read out another name I was just thinking of! Looks like I need to think carefully about the name of the Taoist temple. This can't be rushed!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun reluctantly put away his brush and ink, feeling that today was not a suitable day to name the Taoist temple.

“No rush, no rush,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “We can also go to Xiniu Hezhou together; maybe we’ll get some more inspiration!”

"Oh dear, what you've said has stirred up all my old and new grudges. While you're here to heal, I really want to slap Zhunti, even if I only succeed once out of ten attempts," said Zhenyuan Shenjun.

"I'll take care of the healing," Zhang Xuezhou said as he walked toward the Taoist temple. "I'll pick a few fruits to improve my life technique, so I won't get pulled by someone using their life technique!"

"It's certainly better to live a longer life. Oh, you've also entered the Realm of True Self?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun nodded, and then realized what was going on and asked.

“Yes,” Zhang Xuezhou said, “but my situation is exactly the same as Master Dong’s; neither of us has achieved a leading position in the field!”

"What a pity!" Zhenyuan Divine Lord sighed. "If you could verify it, your cultivation would truly be different!"

“Entering the country first and then receiving guidance is fine,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “Besides, I’ve learned some good things and have a basic understanding of the field!”

"Oh? Let me see!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun felt somewhat regretful that Zhang Xuezhou lacked the ambition to enter the True Self Realm, but when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that he had some good things, his interest was quickly piqued.

He soon saw a faint white light, and double images appeared before his eyes. Not only did Zhang Xuezhou's body become two, but the Longevity Fruit Tree also became two.

"Amazing!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun shook his head and stepped back several dozen paces before he felt that the scene before him was somewhat normal.

"What is the principle behind this? How is it cultivated?" Zhenyuan Divine Lord asked with great interest.

“This method is the Heart Sutra of the Western religion,” Zhang Xuezhou said bluntly. “This sutra can be cultivated to produce the radiant power of mental energy for various techniques. The specific technique varies depending on the individual’s cultivation. I lacked guidance in my cultivation, so I guess I developed an ability similar to illumination. As I continued to advance, this radiant power of mental energy intersected with the light, making it easy to guide illusory images!”

“I feel that the principle of light you are explaining is a bit too profound and difficult to understand,” said Zhenyuan Shenjun.

"This light is like a rainbow after the rain, only what I'm presenting is a sense of displacement!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a moment.

The Three Realms are far ahead in the study of magic, but lack research in basic physics and other fields. Zhang Xuezhou gestured for a long time but still couldn't get Zhenyuan Shenjun to understand the related knowledge of light refraction and distortion.

However, Zhenyuan Shenjun understood one thing very clearly: Zhang Xuezhou's abilities originated from the Prajna Heart Sutra of the Western religion.

This left him with mixed feelings of joy and resentment towards the Western religion. He was pleased that the Western religion was truly capable, but resentful that it only took in resources and never gave them away, making it difficult to acquire them.
