Chapter 127: Thoughts

Zhang Xuan: 【It's all luck, all just luck!】

While speaking these humble words, Zhang Xuan was still quite satisfied.

While speaking, Zhang Xuan also inquired in the Chat Group.

Zhang Xuan: 【Breaking through in strength and realm is a good thing, but I have encountered a few problems now. I don't know if you all can help me; perhaps you can help me analyze it together.】

Qiao Feng: 【Big Brother, feel free to speak. As long as I, Qiao Feng, can do it, I will definitely give it my all!】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Can you still encounter problems, little friend? Speak of them; if this old Daoist can help, I will naturally not shirk.】

The group members were all quite courteous, and Zhang Xuan did not hide much.

Zhang Xuan: 【My strength has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds, but I am troubled by the fact that I have no weapon on hand. I want to find top-tier materials capable of forging a weapon. I wonder if you all have any leads, or if anyone can help me?】

Zhang Xuan asked directly in the Chat Group; he didn't feel there was any problem with this. After all, one person's wisdom is limited, while three heads are better than one.

What if someone else in the Chat Group had some ideas?

Besides, even if the others had no ideas, they could still hint at Qingdi from some angle.

As long as Qingdi was willing to act, wouldn't it be easy to obtain?

It was a pity that it was destined to be like winking at a blind man; Zhang Xuan kept watching Qingdi to see if Qingdi would bubble up, but in the end, Qingdi basically had no reaction.

The others, however, were quite enthusiastic.

Meng Qi: 【A weapon? There are indeed top-tier weapons in my world, but I can't get them right now. Moreover, these top-tier weapons seem to have their own consciousness; ordinary people can't use them, and I'm afraid they wouldn't meet your requirements even if I gave them to you.】

Zhang Xuan thought about the top-tier weapons in the Yishi Zhi Zun World. Among those currently circulating in the world that have special effects, there is undoubtedly the Time Blade, or perhaps the Heavenly Emperor Blade.

The Heavenly Emperor is still staying inside there just fine; this blade is not something one can ask for.

As for other top-tier divine weapons like the Human Emperor Sword, each one contains infinite karma. Even if they were given to Zhang Xuan for free, Zhang Xuan wouldn't really want them.

Those weapons contain too much karma and consciousness from their predecessors; God knows what kind of hidden traps are lurking in them—they could scare a person to death.

The top-tier divine weapons in the Yishi Zhi Zun World are outrageously strong, but before one's strength and realm are sufficient, those are the most potent poisons. Zhang Xuan didn't even want to touch them.

As for Qiao Feng, there was no need to hold any hope at all. Given the level of the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World, Zhang Xuan didn't hold any expectations.

Qiao Feng is indeed a very forthright person; when he says he will help, he is absolutely sincere, but his strength simply doesn't allow it.

Zhang Sanfeng is actually about the same; Zhang Sanfeng is also sincerely willing to help, but there are no top-tier divine weapons like the Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Zhang Xuan's body is already tougher than that now, so it would be useless to get one.

As for the Xianjian World, there should be some good treasures, but with Zhang Sanfeng's current strength, he has no way to obtain them.

The others were in a similar state, so after a brief look, Zhang Xuan sighed with some disappointment.

As it stands now, there is indeed no way.

"Either take a risk in the Beidou Holy City, or go explore other worlds to break through my strength and realm further. Once I reach the Dragon Transformation Realm, relying on my physical body and top-tier techniques, I should basically be very formidable."

Zhang Xuan calculated in his heart; this could be considered a backup plan, and this backup plan wasn't bad either.

With the large-scale gains from Chang Sheng Jie, Zhang Xuan suddenly had great confidence. He felt that going to other worlds would likely yield significant harvests as well.

"Sigh, life is miserable!"

Zhang Xuan sighed sincerely, and at this moment, the large screen in the hotel room that could connect to the internet flickered, revealing the image of Alice.

The words spoken by MOSS, imitating Alice's tone, rang in Zhang Xuan's ears.

"Master, the incident in the uninhabited area of Tibet has been captured by multiple satellites. Now, both the West and the East are jointly searching for the humanoid figure that flashed within the infinite lightning. Corresponding photos have already circulated to major intelligence agencies, and they will all be conducting investigations in secret..."

As it spoke, an image appeared on the screen in front of him. It was Zhang Xuan's figure while undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. Zhang Xuan stood amidst the endless lightning, the sky-filling tribulation lightning covering him, and then he swallowed that lightning in one gulp—it was fierce and domineering to the extreme.

At that time, Zhang Xuan's Qi and blood were boiling, and his body was surrounded by ring after ring of light. Added to that terrifying tribulation lightning, even though multiple meteorological remote sensing satellites were observing Zhang Xuan's location, they had no way to capture his appearance clearly.

They could only see a figure like a thunder god from ancient myths, swallowing and spitting out endless lightning.

"Did they obtain my specific appearance and relevant information?"

"There are specialized teams that have gone to that stretch of snow-capped mountains, wanting to collect relevant flesh, blood, and cell tissues, but as of now, there hasn't been much of a harvest..."

Zhang Xuan nodded, indicating he understood.

Undergoing such a Heavenly Tribulation in a non-cultivation world like Earth would certainly attract the attention of relevant personnel. Moreover, not long ago, he had also undergone a tribulation in Tibet, and the scope of that one was also extremely large.

Having happened twice in succession, many people must have noticed this area. Ordinary people don't matter; no matter how many come, they won't be able to discover Zhang Xuan's secrets.

"However, it should also stir up huge waves in the Cultivation World. After all, the pond of practitioners on Earth is not large; it cannot contain a figure like me. Now that I have stirred up such large waves, I imagine the figures in the Cultivation World will all have some knowledge of my situation."

Compared to the trembling and fear during his initial cultivation, fearing that others would know he was cultivating and fearing attracting others' attention.

The current Zhang Xuan is quite calm; strength is the fundamental source of all confidence.

As of now, his strength and realm still cannot be considered top-tier, and he cannot be called invincible.

At the very least, he is not invincible on Earth. There are people on Earth who are close to the Half-Saint level.

However, those figures are only a rare one or two, and they are elusive.

More practitioners are struggling in the Wheel Sea Realm. The few who can reach the Dao Palace or Four Extremes realms are already top-tier figures, and those who can touch the Dragon Transformation Realm can already be considered the long-accumulated foundation of a family.

With Zhang Xuan's current strength, as long as he doesn't actively intrude, no one can cause him too heavy an injury while wandering outside those families.

"As long as I don't go deep into Kunlun or the Vatican, and don't intrude into those families or get trapped by their arrays, I can already roam freely in this world."

The relevant thoughts flashed through his mind in a very short time. Returning to his senses, Zhang Xuan had a strange feeling.

"I've become so strong without even realizing it!"

On the large screen in front of him, MOSS was still faithfully performing its duties.

"Master, do you need me to interfere with their investigation process to prevent them from disturbing your life? I can make the resolution of the relevant images worse, introduce more errors, and also set up some misleading clues..."

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying: "No need, don't worry about them."

With a different status and position, things that originally required caution no longer need to be cared about so much.

Besides, on the snowy mountain, Zhang Xuan himself didn't leave many clues. The blood flowing on the mountain had basically lost its activity, and there was no great significance in obtaining it.

After the response was finished, MOSS did not disappear immediately but continued: "There is news from the capital. It is about the two individuals I was specifically told to mark. They have started practicing the Wudang Pure Yang Skill and have many questions that need answering..."

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that these were Ye Fan's parents living in the capital.

Back when Zhang Xuan's strength and realm were not yet strong enough, he had deliberately laid a foundation, wanting to proactively befriend Ye Fan and the others so that he could receive more and greater returns after Ye Fan returned in the future.

Now, only half a year later, his strength and realm are no longer what they were.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment, then earnestly responded to the other party's question.

At the same time, after thinking for a while, he took a jade bottle from his bosom, casually carved an array onto it, placed two Blood Bodhi inside, and then carved a hidden message and a special magic array onto it.

He directly ordered moss: "Help me place an order on Shunfeng to deliver the contents of this jade bottle to that residential complex in the capital. Be careful not to let anyone else take it."

Originally, for such a precious item, it would have been better for Zhang Xuan to make the trip himself.

But now that he has moss at hand, handling such matters is much easier. With moss providing the corresponding surveillance, the item itself is not easily lost, and with the magic array on it, there will basically be no problems.

Even if it were lost, two Blood Bodhi are no longer extremely precious items to Zhang Xuan.

Thinking about it, the stable rear base on Earth still needs to be built up more.

Zhang Xuan took out several more bottles of medicinal pills, placed them into the bottle one by one, and instructed: "Tell the families of the thirty-one people I asked you to mark earlier. For the few individuals I marked as priorities, take good care of their parents and relatives, and inform them that their descendants are cultivating in the outside world."

"For those of high priority like Ye Fan, Pang Bo... their parents can be taught basic martial arts and internal energy, and the corresponding medicinal pills can be sent to them periodically."

"You will be responsible for this aspect from now on. You have all of their contact information, right?"

"It has all been recorded, Master."

moss responded, but at the same time raised a question: "Regarding internal energy cultivation, my database does not have complete information, making it difficult for me to provide them with guidance."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "No rush. Once I input the relevant cultivation thresholds and stages into your database, you can respond to them normally. You can also create a vital sign monitoring chart for each of them to monitor the data during their practice in detail, which will facilitate your responses."

"Understood!"

moss faithfully fulfilled the corresponding duties.

And after Zhang Xuan finished giving all the instructions, he could not help but sigh silently.

Looking at the already quite prosperous population in the Chat Group, he felt a little sad.

"The wool I can shear is still not enough. Don't look at how prosperous the population is now; there really isn't much wool that can be properly sheared by me."

In the Chat Group, Xiao Chen was enthusiastically inviting Zhang Xuan to continue visiting Chang Sheng Jie.

Xiao Chen: 【The martial arts Brother Zhang taught me allowed me to shine on Long Dao. Both the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and Taiji Fist have legacies in Chang Sheng Jie.】

【Legend has it that Zhang Sanfeng once achieved Martial Arts Shattering the Void, leaving behind endless legends. It is impossible to know who exactly the founder of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms was, but there are legends related to this figure in Chang Sheng Jie as well. They all think I am a successor of some great sect.】

【Brother Zhang lacks materials for forging top-tier weapons; why not come to my Chang Sheng Jie? There are two Peerless Divine Weapons on Long Dao. Wasn't there a Heaven-Turning Seal before that required the reincarnation of a Buddha to take eight hundred years to reincarnate? There is also a Halberd of Heaven; both are the most supreme divine weapons under heaven. Why don't we come together to obtain them!】

Hearing these words, Zhang Xuan felt slightly tempted, but after only a moment, he completely cast this thought out of his mind. These two weapons could be considered supreme in Chang Sheng Jie, and they would not be considered bad even if placed in the Zhetian World.

But the problem is that both weapons have their own thoughts, and their Divine Sense is very clear, not at all inferior to a normal human.

They have their own calculations, and Zhang Xuan would have no way to use them properly if he held them in his hands.

Zhang Xuan had to tactfully refuse.

Zhang Xuan: 【The weapons are top-tier, but their intelligence is too high. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use them; there is no benefit for me.】

Zhang Xuan refused decisively, without any hesitation.

To be honest, this is indeed not feasible. He is already calculating how to go to other worlds to get top-tier materials, or how to further improve his strength.

However, at this moment, Meng Qi popped up again.

Xiao Meng who has returned to secular life: 【I remember there are quite a few top-tier materials in the Zhetian World, and many are easy to get, right? Why not try? If I remember correctly, there are top-tier materials on Earth; it seems they were left behind by a deceased Quasi-Emperor.】

Meng Qi is also a fan of Zhetian and has a very deep understanding of it. The words and suggestions he put forward were quite useful, and Zhang Xuan let out a bitter laugh upon hearing them.

Zhang Xuan: 【I can't even get into Kunlun, and without that Immortal Treasure Map left by the Ruthless Great Emperor, even if I got in, I wouldn't be able to reach the depths of Kunlun. There's simply no way to obtain them.】

【As for the other direction, Beidou does have many top-tier materials, but the Desolate Ancient Family and Holy Land of Beidou are too overbearing. I am not like you, having so much background and backing.】

【Without a trump card, if I go over there, I suspect that once I take out those top-tier divine metals, I would be shot in the back the moment I step out the door.】

Meng Qi, who is already roaming the Jianghu and has made quite a name for himself, even reaching the Human Ranking, thought for a moment and could not help but shiver.

Xiao Meng who has returned to secular life: 【Indeed, without a trump card, it is indeed hard to survive. But this is not a big problem either; I have a Transfer Talisman here, take it and run.】
