Chapter 3691 Enlightenment in One Day Reveals the True Self
"Bloodline is indeed the key to unlocking the Wind and Thunder Blade!"

"The method of attack is very important. Manqian's use of Huwei was the right approach!"

"We need to use the Wind-Sheltering Technique in conjunction with this!"

Zhang Xuezhou hadn't expected to come up with anything new in half a month, after all, the Wind and Thunder Blade was a top-tier artifact from another world.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that anyone with even a touch of the top-tier skills was incredibly capable, and solving the problem wouldn't be a matter of just a few days.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Manqian would figure out the trick in just half a month.

He looked at the ground slashed by the wind blades, then at the alloy sword that had been severed, and couldn't help but gasp.

“Judging from our tests, activating the Wind and Thunder Blade is not difficult, so why are there no cultivators from the Tiger Saint Family wielding the blade?” Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

“You might be overcomplicating things,” Ren Anran said. “I do think it’s true that this sword is difficult to control, but the more important factor is that very few cultivators are qualified to repeatedly try to wield it!”

“This sword’s ability to control is too strong, so strict control is inevitable,” Zhang Hao nodded and said. “Not to mention repeatedly trying it out, I think even members of such families would have a hard time getting to know this sword. If they can’t directly connect with the Wind and Thunder Sword, or even trigger its resonance, their family will most likely think that it doesn’t meet the conditions for use!”

"My bloodline purity is unlikely to be able to match the Tiger Saint Clan's cultivation level significantly anymore. I can only seek the Wind Avoidance Technique to reduce the damage caused by activating this sword!"

Before unleashing the power of the Wind and Thunder Blade, the most important thing is to be able to properly wield the blade.

Zhang Manqian's conditions are still not sufficient, but the Wind Avoidance Technique can reduce the related harm. If she can properly cultivate her physical body, the duration of her grip on the Wind and Thunder Blade will be further extended.

Zhang Manqian's face showed both excitement and a headache, after all, cultivating the 108,000 techniques of avoidance was extremely difficult.

"It's fine if Yi Shuo stays here!"

The situation regarding the 108,000 acupoints is similar to that of the Wind and Thunder Blade. In the eyes of the Emperor and others, only cultivators with natural talent are qualified to cultivate. If one's cultivation is not up to par, it is because one's talent is insufficient. There is no situation where a cultivator with insufficient talent insists on cultivating.

Yi Shuo uses magic to guide acupuncture points and imprint the memory of the stinging pain, which is a quick and effective method, even Ren Anran is amazed by it.

If one wants to quickly master the art of avoidance in the early stages, Yishuo can play an irreplaceable role.

The only problem is that Yi Shuo is difficult to come from the Three Realms.

"You were able to send Anran there and bring her back, could you also bring this betrothal gift with you?"

After hearing Zhang Xuezhou's introduction, Zhang Manqian still had some lingering thoughts, which made Zhang Xuezhou shake his head.

"Has Yi Shuo's spirit come over here...? This might actually be possible!"

If Yi Shuo had a new body, her situation would be no different from Xu Lu's; everything in the new body would need to be started over.

However, the matter of shaping the Yang Soul is a different story. This allows Yi Shuo to possess a Yang Soul body, whose physical power is not much less than that of the original body, so releasing acupuncture techniques is not a problem.

Meeting these conditions is difficult. First, it requires a great cultivator with the ability to shape objects, and second, it requires abundant spiritual energy. Fortunately, Zhang Xuezhou and his group, along with the No. 2 sinkhole, met the relevant conditions.

If handled properly, Yi Shuo can come to the real world to provide assistance, which will also allow her to gain a preliminary understanding of this world.

"You continue your practice, and I'll try to get some help," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If everything goes smoothly, Professor, you can also go there for half a month to broaden your horizons!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Ren Yisheng, who was skilled in mental manipulation. Ren Yisheng's face paled slightly, but he quickly agreed.

Traveling the world isn't something you can just do whenever you want; only those with strong minds can complete long journeys, and the shorter the journey, the less strain it puts on the body.

This is indeed an important way of communication and can generate a certain degree of mutual assistance.

"I have no physical body in the Three Realms, so you'll have to find a way to get me back!"

Zhang Hao was also quite interested in offering reminders.

He longed to return to the Three Realms, but Zhang Hao knew very well that his abilities would be limited upon returning, and he would be unable to perfectly reclaim his physical body, so there was no possibility of any development for him.

This is more like an act of putting an end to his worries, and after everything is over, he also hopes to return to this world.

“It shouldn’t be too difficult. As long as everything goes smoothly, I’ll manage to fool Hu Hao,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “That works!”

Zhang Hao nodded.

Many people travel the world only for short stays, but Hu Hao is not among them, so his inability to return will not have any impact.

"I hope that when I regain my senses, I will see you step into your true self!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Ren Anran, who looked expectant, indicating that he was quite confident about the journey.

"To meet my true self!"

Ren Anran nodded, knowing that Zhang Xuezhou had successfully entered his true self in another world and had succeeded by relying on instinct despite a lack of perception. Ren Anran obviously wanted to set an example again in advance to see if she could avoid some of the unexpected events.

Once her body is fully recovered, Ren Anran will be able to step out of the No. 2 sinkhole.

She stared at Zhang Xuezhou, who began to lie down in the altar area, with Zhang Hao lying down beside him.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

The time travel arrived as scheduled. Just as Ren Anran finished counting, Zhang Xuezhou, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up.

At the same time, a feeling of familiarity mixed with a touch of strangeness welled up in her heart.

Just like Laozi's experience, a soul separated for too long can indeed develop an independent consciousness. Even if Ren Anran had no related thoughts, she was developing it without realizing it.

"Now that we're back, let's work together to achieve something great!"

Ren Anran opened her arms to welcome this part of her soul that lacked a physical form but belonged to her.

The feeling of hands touching and being pulled surged into my heart. The misty purple magic power continued to pull, and a blurry figure appeared, which gradually transformed into Ren Anran's form.

"It's great over there, I really find it hard to leave!"

"If Xuezhou successfully navigates this path, we can travel together frequently, and they can also come over, perhaps even gaining bodies from this world!"

"That's true!"

As the magical power circulated continuously, the distracting thoughts in Yang Po Body eventually subsided, and instead cooperated with Ren Anran to push the Yin-Yang School's realm techniques upward.

Numerous experiences involving time travel flooded into Ren Anran's mind, including her Confucian studies and daily life in Chang'an.

Only then did Ren Anran feel that the missing piece in her mind had been filled in.

Her physical body and her spiritual soul experienced different things at the same time. This superposition of different memories at the same time made her feel like she was experiencing a dream. For a moment, her body swayed and she could hardly distinguish reality.

This is also Zhang Xuezhou's past experience, and he was even misdiagnosed as having a mental illness.

After receiving the memories, Ren Anran fell into a state of confusion and remained in a daze for a long time before regaining her senses.

"My true self is also a state of instinctive understanding!"

She stretched out her hands.

The Yang Soul Body before her eyes had vanished, and the misty purple magic power in her palms had turned a deep purple color, with the magic power also transforming into the shape of a flower that swirled above her head.

This is the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown" mentioned in ancient texts, a phenomenon that only a highly accomplished cultivator with profound magical power can achieve.

Just like Zhang Xuezhou, when Ren Anran received the various contents of the Yang Soul Body, her body instinctively operated and also reached the realm of true self, far beyond the previous situation where she could not enter the realm of true self despite seeking it.
