Chapter 147: Changes in the Chat Group

The cultivation methods in the Zhetian World focus on being unique, comprehending the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, but ultimately, they must be centered on the path one has comprehended oneself, with "I" as the core.

As for the cultivation methods in the Yishi Zhi Zun World, they emphasize the refined manipulation of the various rules of the heavens and myriad worlds.

Once one has comprehended many Great Daos, one can naturally rely on these Daos to reach the Other Shore, and ultimately possess the authority of heaven and earth, wielding incredible power between heaven and earth.

It places more emphasis on the comprehension of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, with the Great Dao of heaven and earth as the core.

This is Zhang Xuan's deep-level realization regarding the cultivation methods of different worlds after practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

This is not to say that Zhang Xuan's realm has suddenly soared to a level where he can evaluate the Zhetian methods and the Yishi Zhi Zun methods; it is mainly because he is standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and Zhang Xuan has a clear self-awareness of this point.

The cultivation methods he practices are not just a simple Emperor Scripture; he also has an Emperor-level figure personally feeding him knowledge. The Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art he practices were both personally guided and explained by a top-tier powerhouse like Qingdi, who ranks among the best of the Great Emperors.

It can be said that Qingdi explained the detailed methods within the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art very thoroughly, and from a high vantage point, he wrote all the cultivation lecture notes very clearly.

As for the other book, the Eight-Nine Profound Art, Zhang Xuan cannot actually understand much of it with his current realm and cultivation, but there is no help for it—the Heavenly Venerable of Morality explained it personally, and he explained it from beginning to end. Zhang Xuan can stand at a higher altitude and directly comprehend this world-rare technique, which can be called the most supreme method under heaven.

With Qingdi, who can be considered a top figure among the generations in the Zhetian World, personally feeding him knowledge, and at the same time having the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, the Basis of the Existing World in the Yishi Zhi Zun World, personally explaining things, Zhang Xuan is actually advancing by leaps and bounds on his path of cultivation.

If one views cultivation as an examination, then the person who sets the questions is the Great Dao of this heaven and earth; every step forward requires relevant tests, and relevant questions will be set. And Qingdi and the Heavenly Venerable of Morality are the top-tier "exam-king" top students among top students under heaven; they have already written out all the methods, ways, and steps for solving the problems. All Zhang Xuan has to do is directly compare them and then write down the answers.

Previously, Zhang Xuan already had enough understanding of various formulas, and now that he has reached the corresponding realm and compares them with each other, there is suddenly more fog in his heart, just like this vast heavenly tribulation today.

"However, if I just copy the formulas like this and apply them mechanically, I fear it will be very difficult to escape the traces of Qingdi and the Heavenly Venerable of Morality..."

Zhang Xuan can realize this point himself; after all, he is walking entirely on the paths of others. Without his own comprehension, in the future, once others no longer provide guidance, he fears he will not be able to go very far.

This point is not only something Zhang Xuan can see; the scriptures explained by Qingdi also noted this, and the Heavenly Venerable of Morality also specifically pointed this out when explaining the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

"However, considering these things now is completely superfluous."

Zhang Xuan raised his fist toward the sky, and in the horrified gaze of Kongque Wang, he punched a hole through the layers of piled-up tribulation lightning in the sky.

Then he pondered to himself in his heart: "My current cultivation realm is too low; to walk out of my own path is a complete joke. If I really want to ponder my own path and reorganize my own environment, I must at least reach the Saint level in the Zhetian World, and in the Yishi Zhi Zun World, I must at least reach above the Outer Scene Realm—the so-called Human Immortal realm, which is the Dharma Aspect level..."

Boom!

The lightning light was still roaring fiercely, but it was difficult to harm Zhang Xuan's body.

The supreme body forged by the Indestructible Heavenly Art was truly fierce and invincible at this stage; it had even swallowed the origin of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. Zhang Xuan felt that at this stage, he was stronger than Yaoguang Shengzi, who had always been vaguely called a top boss in the early stages of the Zhetian Beidou star system but had never truly made a move.

Yaoguang Shengzi practiced the Indestructible Heavenly Palace; he walked all the way to the end and was able to contend with Ye Fan before Ye Fan became an Emperor. He can be considered the most legendary figure in the entire Zhetian World.

And in the early stages of cultivation, Yaoguang Shengzi basically never confronted Ye Fan head-on, but judging from the hints in Zhetian, in terms of the earliest realm, Yaoguang Shengzi was not only in realm but also in strength a cut above Ye Fan.

"And I am now an enhanced version of Yaoguang Shengzi, belonging to the Pro or Max level."

"Yaoguang Shengzi did not absorb the origin of the Sacred Body in the early stages; he mostly absorbed the origins of many powerful physiques on the Beidou Gu Xing. He lacked the most top-tier origins, while I have almost swallowed my fill of the most top-tier origins."

Under the moonlight, the vast lightning tribulation struck from beginning to end, and Zhang Xuan did not feel it was difficult at all.

In the Zhetian World, Ye Fan's mastery of scriptures and techniques could already be considered top-tier, but at this stage, the scriptures Zhang Xuan had mastered were even more exaggerated than Ye Fan's.

The complete Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, the Indestructible Heavenly Art, the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Demon Emperor Nine Slashes, and the various forbidden chapter methods recorded in the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art—every single one of these methods was not inferior to the Nine Secrets.

Zhang Xuan felt that he had already stood at the level of the Eight Prohibitions, and even if he sorted out his own path and thinking, he could step into the God Prohibition domain.

"Hoo!"

He looked up and inhaled a breath, and the lightning light filling the sky was swallowed by Zhang Xuan in one gulp; the last streak of tribulation light also vanished into nothingness.

Facing Kongque Wang, who was full of shock and disbelief beside him, Zhang Xuan gently clapped his palms and smiled: "After this, there will be more and more people like me. What follows is an extremely dangerous era, a Golden Great Age."

Kongque Wang could not believe it.

But at this moment, the Group File in the Chat Group vibrated. Zhang Xuan took the time to look and discovered it was the perfected formula for the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid, which made his heart stir.

"It looks like Qingdi really put his mind to it; he is indeed a bit short on points."

Zhang Xuan was also very interested in the Bloodline Optimization Fluid and wanted to use it.

However, this thing required too high a demand for Divine Substance, which Zhang Xuan could not produce at the moment.

The Taichu Ancient Mine, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and other ancient Forbidden Lands certainly had these useful substances, but with Zhang Xuan's ability and strength, he did not really want to go, nor did he dare to go and take them.

After all, he was afraid of death and completely did not want to take this kind of unnecessary risk.

"However, it is not that there is no way at all..."

It was still possible to place the demand for these Divine Substances on others. Whether it was Old Madman, Gai Jiuyou, or other Ancient Saints, as long as they knew this formula, it would not be too difficult to obtain these Divine Substances.

With the accumulation of the Desolate Ancient Holy Lands and noble families over these years, such substances would not be too scarce; one could even say there would be quite a lot.

However, the most important main type of Divine Substance, such as Taichu Life Stone, would be much scarcer.

"It can serve as a supplement to cultivation; it is not too urgent right now."

Zhang Xuan examined the formula in detail. The main materials were of course hard to come by, but the secondary auxiliary materials were not too difficult; many were very common substances, and with the abundance of various cultivation resources on Beidou, it would be easy to obtain them.

Because this followed the technological route of the Eternal Ancient Star, many formulas for the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid were different from the normal paths and directions of the Beidou Cultivation World. Therefore, these auxiliary materials were often not valued by people and could be hoarded in advance.

As his thoughts turned, Zhang Xuan directly instructed Kongque Wang; anyway, many directions of the Demon Race were basically tied to him now.

Zhang Xuan was not anxious at all, nor was he overly worried.

Kongque Wang agreed quite excitedly to help Zhang Xuan collect these materials, and he would take as many as he could get.

Having experienced several rounds of doing things for Zhang Xuan, Kongque Wang already had a brand-new understanding of Zhang Xuan.

This person was indeed an old senior in the Cultivation World, and his wealth was extremely abundant.

He had always been fair and just in doing things, would trade with them fairly at any time, and was even a bit too generous.

Whenever they helped Zhang Xuan do anything, Zhang Xuan would never let them do it for nothing; he would always reward them with equivalent or even more generous items, especially regarding the aspect of extending life not long ago.

Kongque Wang was eager to do more of these things, then extend his own lifespan to be stronger, or take out some residual pills from failed Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refining to give to figures within the Demon Race; this was also an extremely powerful thing for increasing the foundation of the Demon Race.

With the moon high in the sky, after finishing the instructions for the relevant matters, Zhang Xuan finally had the time to stop and grasp his own state.

His body was completely spiritual; the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Embryo—the five secret realms—were all connected. Especially the Immortal Embryo, it was completely clear, and there was even immortal mist flickering.

The first four realms of the immortal cultivation methods in the Zhetian World could be considered laying the foundation; only the fifth realm, Immortal Embryo, could be considered the true supreme secret realm, containing the most important abilities of the human body.

At the same time, the part it cultivated was the brain, the most critical part of the human body; once there was achievement, one would possess incredible abilities.

Every step forward in the Immortal Embryo Realm would cause one's strength and realm to advance by leaps and bounds. Each layer of heaven in the Immortal Embryo Realm was equivalent to a major secret realm of the past; it could be said to be truly and genuinely unique.

"Only in this state now can I be considered to have a little bit of self-preservation power."

For the first time in a while, Zhang Xuan felt a sense of peace; standing within Shencheng, his blood and Qi surged into the sky like a dragon, and in terms of physical constitution alone, he had already surpassed figures at the Saint Master level, standing tall between heaven and earth as a true powerhouse.

"The remains of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body can probably only force me into the Immortal Platform Second Layer; any higher than that would be impossible..."

Zhang Xuan felt a slight sense of regret, but in reality, if others knew of such words, they would find them shocking; the bones of a Saint's body contain incredible power—a single strand of hair could crush a mountain range, and a single drop of essence blood could crush a Great Power of the Immortal Second Realm to death on the spot.

The remains of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body are even more terrifying in this regard; an ordinary person obtaining the remains of a Saint could already ascend to the heavens in a single step.

Not to mention reaching the level of Immortal Three Slashing the Dao, at the very least, one could steadily rush to the peak of the Immortal Platform Second Layer.

But because Zhang Xuan already had a profound foundation, taking the remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could only push him to the Immortal Platform Second Layer, which was truly a bit of a pity.

"However, in the current environment, once I reach the Immortal Platform Second Layer, the world is vast enough for me to roam freely, and I won't need to be as cautious as before."

Zhang Xuan whispered to himself, silently evaluating his own state; in fact, with his strength having only recently stepped into the Immortal Embryo Realm, he felt he was almost capable of facing figures of the Immortal Second Realm head-on.

The Origin and strength he had accumulated were too profound, and now, in this world, he was basically in the realm of the Eight Prohibitions, capable of defying and killing figures eight minor realms higher than himself; his own power possessed an incredible quality.

"From now on, I won't need to have so many misgivings when doing things."

Zhang Xuan looked out over Shencheng, especially toward the Stone Workshop of the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Compared to the treasures recorded in the Dao Yi Sacred Land which were not very clear, the true treasures in the Stone Workshop of the Yaochi Sacred Land were described very clearly, written in great detail throughout the ancient scrolls of Covering the Sky.

Not only was there a complete Undying Divine Medicine, but there was also Sheng Huangzi and that princess from Shencan Guling.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan could not help but think of the Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine already planted in the Plantation.

He could not help but look inside; that Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine was planted on that piece of land, with endless fresh light gushing forth and surrounded by immortal mist.

And within the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan discovered subtle changes.

His mastery over the Chat Group seemed more natural and fluent, no longer like it was before.

The moment his heart stirred, Zhang Xuan could not help but look at the rank changes within the Chat Group.

Sure enough, when Zhang Xuan's gaze landed above, he saw a scene that was different from the rest.

Zhang Xuan - Tier 5.

"Finally leveled up."

Zhang Xuan had already touched upon Tier 4 when he was in the Wheel Sea Realm, but there had been no change when he upgraded from Wheel Sea to the Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation realms; it was only now, after crossing into the Immortal Platform Realm and having made progress in the Eight-Nine Profound Art, that there was truly a change.

"Sure enough, the further one goes, the greater the distance between different levels becomes, to an unimaginable degree."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, though he was not surprised by this.

After all, in the Seventh Tier, one could be considered a Great Emperor; for him to reach the Immortal Platform at Tier 5 was already a very high estimation of his potential.

When his Divine Sense was in the Chat Group, the Chat Group also gave Zhang Xuan a calm response.

"New functions are open to me? No, it's an enhancement of the previous functions; I can truly plant the Plantation in other, higher-level worlds."

"Others steal vegetables, but I steal land, secretly going to other people's homes to farm."

"But this is not bad either; at least I'm not the one being stolen from."
