While everyone was perplexed, Yang shi, whom they respected deeply, suddenly felt his body go limp, and 'hu!', he plummeted from the sky.
Peng!
Following which, a painful groan sounded. Yang shi's appearance slowly changed into that of Zhang Xuan.
"Can't you just lend me a hand and watch as I fall from the sky?"
Clutching his dizzy head from the fall, Zhang Xuan glared at his clone and felt so furious that he could spurt blood.
Naturally, this Yang shi was him in disguise, and that 'Zhang Xuan' was his clone.
Previously, when he was at the bottom of the Cleansing Lake, he had used everyone's zhenqi and earth flame to strengthen his physical body significantly, thus allowing his massive soul, which was nearly ten meters tall, to enter the lake.
Just as he was done with all of this, he realized that the Cleansing Lake was on the verge of exploding.
In order to preserve his life, he immediately used the Library of Heaven's Path to look into the matter, and only then did he realize that he and his clone had absorbed all of the spiritual energy in the lake, causing the balance of the three energies to go out of control.
Upon learning of this, Zhang Xuan immediately felt embarrassed.
The other party invited him over to cultivate out of goodwill, but the moment he arrived, he caused the lake to explode...
That was indeed unkind of him.
But honestly speaking, he really didn't do it on purpose!
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame his clone. If not for that fool absorbing the spiritual energy so desperately, how could the balance of the spiritual energy be broken?
However, there was no point in saying all of this now. If he were to run out to explain himself, he would probably be slapped to death by the furious Ye Wentian.
Left with no choice, he had 'Yang shi' appear once more.
This' expert 'had appeared personally and resolved the problem for the other party. This could be considered as making up for the destruction of the other party's Cleansing Lake.
In order to make the matter more realistic, Zhang Xuan even had his clone disguise himself as him, pretending to be unconscious.
This way, it would be easier for him to explain himself when he returned. He could just say that his teacher was the one who saved him and knew nothing about the matter.
Given that the crowd had seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't pursue the matter any further.
Zhang Xuan relied on the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps to fly, and once his zhenqi was depleted, he would fall from the sky. On the other hand, his clone relied on his soul, and the Nine Hearts Lotus was a God artifact.
As such, even a 5-star pinnacle master teacher like Wei shi was unable to see through the duo's disguise.
Zhang Xuan had only just flown to this point, but his zhenqi was nearly depleted. On top of that, he had just achieved a breakthrough in his soul and physical body, so he was unable to adapt to the sudden change. Thus, his vision darkened, and he plummeted from the sky.
Zhang Xuan thought that his clone would at least lend him a hand to help him land safely on the ground. Yet, to his astonishment, the other party remained indifferent and allowed him to fall to the ground …
His lungs were about to explode from anger!
Even though the fall wasn't too high, and given the strength of his physical body, it wasn't too serious either … for a clone to not share the burden of the main body at all, wasn't it a little too much?
What the hell?
You must remember, you are just a clone. When the main body is in trouble, you should take the initiative to step forward …
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to teach this fellow a lesson, he saw the fool slowly closing his eyes … as if saying, "You are the one who is stupid and it has nothing to do with me."
"…"
Zhang Xuan vomited blood.
I told you that you can't just watch as I fall, so you closed your eyes. How in the world did I end up with a fool like you?
Other people's clones were incomparably ferocious. Upon seeing the main body injured, they would immediately rush forward to help. Yet, this fellow allowed the main body to fall to the ground … He must be drunk!
He was a complete scammer!
"Let me see how much my strength has increased first!"
Unable to be bothered to continue arguing with the other party, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Under the nourishment of the earth flame and the spiritual lake, his physical body had grown significantly stronger. Every single cell in his body had become resilient and resilient, reminiscent of steel.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan sent a punch forward.
Hong long!
The tree a dozen meters away shook, and a fist-sized hole appeared on it, as if it had been sliced by a saber.
"His physical body is already so strong?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He didn't use his soul energy or zhenqi in this punch. He just wanted to see how much strength he had in this punch, but he didn't expect that the pressure of his punch would be able to punch a hole through a tree that was more than ten meters away, a tree that even three people wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around!
Even a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm expert would find it hard to achieve such a feat!
"Just my physical body … 2,000,000 ding!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He had tested the strength of his physical body, and it had reached 2,000,000 ding, just like his zhenqi.
In other words, even without using his zhenqi or soul energy, he would be able to crush a Consonant Spirit realm primary stage expert with just his physical body alone.
Fearsome!
"What about my soul energy?"
After examining his physical body, Zhang Xuan drove his soul energy and stretched his palm forward.
Hong long!
A small hill several dozen meters away was reduced to dust.
"Even though it's still at Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle, my stamina has increased. It can be said that my stamina is boundless …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Even though Zhang Xuan's soul had grown from 1.8 meters to nearly 10 meters, his strength did not increase at all. It was still 3,200,000 ding.
However, his stamina was different.
For example, an ordinary person could lift a heavy object weighing two hundred jin with their full strength, but lifting it once would be their limit. The second time, they would have to rest for a long time before they could do it again.
The 3,200,000 ding that Zhang Xuan was able to exert previously was his limit. In other words, it was impossible for every single punch of his to reach that level.
But at this moment, his soul had grown to ten meters, and every single punch of it carried 3,200,000 ding. It was as if a perpetual motion machine that knew no fatigue!
This was truly fearsome. Every single punch carried 3,200,000 ding. Even though it wasn't too powerful, it was still sufficient to crush even a Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage cultivator.
"2,000,000 ding from my physical body, 2,000,000 ding from my zhenqi, and 3,200,000 ding from my soul energy. All in all, I should be able to put up a fight against a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle expert!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan could feel fighting spirit surging through his body, reminiscent of an invincible vajra.
For a Clarifying Turbidity realm pinnacle cultivator to wield strength that even a Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle expert couldn't hope to match up to, no matter who it was. (Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle possesses a strength of 6,400,000 ding)
"Come, let's exchange blows!"
Chuckling softly, Zhang Xuan turned to his clone.
Previously, due to his weak physical body, he was sent flying by the other party's punch and nearly spurted blood. But now that he had achieved a breakthrough in his spirit, zhenqi, and soul, it wouldn't be easy for the other party to defeat him anymore!
Perhaps, he might even be able to injure the other party and teach that fellow a lesson!
"Un!" His clone turned around and raised his fist.
Frowning, Zhang Xuan gathered his zhenqi, zhenqi, and physical body together, and in an instant, his strength was pushed to its peak.
At this moment, he felt that he could even defeat a Transcendent Mortal 7-dan primary stage expert with a single punch!
Boom!
The two fists collided.
"You …"
With a scream of agony, Zhang Xuan's clone stood motionlessly on the spot while Zhang Xuan was sent flying. His back smashed through more than a dozen trees, and only after flying several hundred meters did he finally come to a stop. Large mouthfuls of blood spewed from his mouth.
The heck!
Do you have to be so vicious?
He thought that it would be easy for him to teach the other party a lesson after making such a huge improvement, but who could have thought that the gap between them would widen even further …
He had used his full strength to strike the other party, but the other party was completely unharmed while he nearly lost his life …
How could this be! Are you the clone or am I the real one?
Struggling to his feet, Zhang Xuan grumbled indignantly.
"Your physical body isn't strong enough yet, so you aren't able to bring out the full might of your soul!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was feeling displeased, his clone walked over with his hands behind his back. With an authoritative look on his face, he said, "If you wish to defeat me, you will have to temper yourself further. Of course, if you acknowledge me as your teacher, I can teach you …"
"Scram …"
With a kick, Zhang Xuan sent the other party flying and kept him into his storage ring.
To think that a clone would dare to act so arrogantly and claim to be the teacher of the main body!
Since you are so capable, why don't you ascend to the heavens?
"This fellow might be infuriating, but his words aren't wrong!"
After keeping the other party away, Zhang Xuan frowned once more.
His clone was his other self. Even though his words and actions were unreliable at times, it was indeed true that his physical body wasn't strong enough for him to bring out the full might of his soul.
Even though his physical body had improved tremendously through the earth flame and the spiritual lake, the time he had spent in tempering it was simply too short. It was only sufficient for his massive soul to enter his body.
It was still insufficient for him to fully adapt to it and bring out his full strength.
"If my soul isn't compatible with my physical body, I won't be able to control my strength as well …"
If his soul was too strong and his physical body wasn't strong enough, even if he were to fuse the two together, it would still be difficult for him to control his strength to the same level as before.
It was just like an adult possessing the body of an infant. It was easy for one to fall into a situation where one would be unable to control one's strength completely.
Such was the situation that Zhang Xuan was currently in. Even though his physical body was able to accommodate such a massive soul, it was still relatively weak. As such, his control over his body wasn't as precise as before.
Back then, when he first cultivated the Heaven's Path Golden Body at Master Lu Chen's residence, a similar situation occurred.
Back then, even though he didn't seem to be exerting much strength, he was actually exerting a huge amount of strength.
However, this time around, it was slightly irregular. At times, he felt that he was exerting a huge amount of strength, but at other times, he felt that he was exerting a huge amount of strength.
"Looks like … I'll have to continue raising the strength of my physical body!"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
The hurried tempering of his physical body previously was clearly insufficient. He had to find a way to raise the strength of his physical body as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he were to exert a huge amount of strength one moment and a small amount the next, others might even think that he was a lunatic.
"This won't do. I'll have to ask Emperor Ye Wentian for a physical body cultivation technique to form Heaven's Path Golden Body 3-dan. As long as I succeed, my physical body will surely grow stronger!"
As long as he had sufficient physical body cultivation technique manuals, he would be able to form the Heaven's Path Golden Body through the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Where is this?"
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan stopped thinking too much about it. Taking a look around, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"This is … the Verdant Mountain?"
Previously, in order to prevent Ye Wentian and the others from noticing his departure, Zhang Xuan had flown for a long distance. To think that he was already far away from Huanyu Empire and deep into the Verdant Mountain.
