Chapter 575 Targeting the Ancient Sword Soul's Power
Dreams and reincarnation, what is real and what is fake?
If this is a dream, then it feels too real.
If it were reincarnation, what kind of bond and love would exist between them?
When Zhang Xiaoshan recounted the wonderful seven years they spent together, Zhao Min felt that everything was so unreal.
However, under Zhang Xiaoshan's guidance, Zhao Min completely fused with the power of the demon seed, and underwent a qualitative change, seeing a world that was 'colorful'.
Even if one's heart is filled with demonic influences, in the end, all paths lead to the same destination.
Previously, Zhao Min exuded a bewitching and sinister aura, but now, amidst her alluring charm, she possesses an added touch of holy and ethereal purity.
Furthermore, her demonic aura was completely concealed, making her appear as a combination of a cold, aloof fairy, an ethereal goddess, and a seductive enchantress, possessing the allure of all three. Her beauty was breathtaking, capable of bringing ruin to a nation.
"Young master, Minmin wants to stay by your side!"
Nestled in the broad arms of Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhao Min felt a stronger urge to stay here forever, by his side, rather than return to Blackwood Cliff.
Especially after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, she saw through fame and fortune, and there was nothing in this world that she cared about anymore.
The heights are so cold!
"It's not advisable for you to reveal yourself right now, and the East needs your help."
The situation is unclear. I am not alone; too many people stand behind me. It is not the time to retreat to the mountains.
"Yes, Minmin will listen to Young Master!"
Due to the domineering nature of the demonic seed, Zhao Min was now completely under Zhang Xiaoshan's control.
The two seem to be in conflict, but whose seed is it?
Zhao Min only has the right to use it; the true demonic seed is Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit.
···
On the third day, Zhao Min left the villa with Huang Rong and the others reluctant to part with her!
Faced with a super shortcut, Huang Rong spent several days relentlessly questioning her about it.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan ultimately did not agree to plant the Demon Seed. The Demon Seed was even more domineering than the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. At this point, Huang Rong and the other women's cultivation levels did not involve the primordial spirit and spiritual power, so they naturally did not understand the domineering and cruel nature of this thing.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan would not easily plant the demon seed unless absolutely necessary.
Even the Mystic Maiden was amazed and shocked by the Heart Seed Demon's domineering nature after learning about its cultivation method.
It can be said that this kind of dangerous and unpredictable cultivation method could lead to death with the slightest mistake.
Even so, Huang Rong was still somewhat unwilling!
Under normal cultivation, it would take them at least ten years to break through to the Grandmaster level, and that's a matter of probability.
Someone as physically inactive as her, who couldn't possibly concentrate on martial arts, would undoubtedly face significantly greater difficulties in breaking through to the Grandmaster level.
Finally, having no other choice, Zhang Xiaoshan decided to implant the demon seed in the two Hu women.
The reason was that the two women were Persians, not of our race.
Given Huang Rong's difficult nature, Zhang Xiaoshan could only demonstrate the terrifying power of the demonic seed through facts.
Furthermore, the two Hu women, having cultivated the Heavenly Crippled Divine Art, are extremely susceptible to having their minds corrupted by demonic energy. The demonic seed serves as an excellent control switch, simultaneously assisting them in reaching the Grandmaster realm.
Although Huang Rong was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it.
After all, her antics were based on Zhang Xiaoshan's favor, and she knew that Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want to harm her in any way.
However, this is what she wanted herself.
"arrive!"
Zhao Min followed Zhang Xiaoshan to the depths of the Ghost Street secret chamber, where Gu Jianhun and Tu Xuehua were studying Buddhist scriptures.
Gu Jianhun shared some insights he had gained with Tu Xuehua, which were not only insights from Buddhist scriptures, but also profound principles combined with martial arts, making him no less capable than some holy monks!
No matter how poor Gu Jianhun's comprehension was, he was still a supreme expert at the Grandmaster level.
Moreover, by calming his mind and combining his martial arts with the Buddhist scriptures, Gu Jianhun's spiritual realm is being sublimated without him even realizing it.
"It seems that your recent period of study has not been entirely fruitless!"
Gu Jianhun ignored Zhang Xiaoshan, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at Zhao Min.
It worked!
Zhang Xiaoshan actually managed to create a Grandmaster-level demon immortal.
Moreover, Zhao Min's realm, that transcendence, is something that even grandmasters cannot compare to.
"Boy, I must say, your extraordinary abilities are something I've never heard of before!"
"It's just opportunism."
"Humph!"
He didn't like Zhang Xiaoshan's tone.
As a member of the martial arts world, Gu Jianhun was not a gentleman.
In his eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan's tone could be interpreted as either humility or, more bluntly, insincerity.
Then, Gu Jianhun looked at Tu Xuehua, explained the details of their parting, and added one last sentence:
"Girl, find a family to marry into as soon as possible, and next time you should bring a grandson!"
"father!"
Tu Xuehua was also helpless.
She's not just an older single woman anymore; in an ordinary family, she'd probably be a grandmother by now.
Given her current status, she couldn't possibly live as an ordinary person, and most people in the martial arts world had ulterior motives. Therefore, she could only glance at Zhang Xiaoshan before making up her mind.
During this time, Gu Jianhun had been relentlessly trying to instill in her the curse of marriage.
In addition, she is indeed not young now, and Tu Xuehua does not want to really grow old alone.
After sending the two women away through the secret passage, Zhang Xiaoshan returned to the secret chamber of the Ancient Sword Soul, carrying a bottle of top-quality wine.
"It seems that you have gained a lot of insight during this period of time."
"Hmph, you're talking in riddles. Just say it, I don't like the way you talk."
Helpless, Zhang Xiaoshan poured himself two glasses of wine and began to drink them amidst Gu Jianhun's disdain.
"It's nothing. It's just that I see your state of mind has met the requirements for leaving, but I can't just let you go. So I wanted to mold you into a different form and have you appear in the martial world under a different identity."
"Shaping? Resurrection? I'd rather stay here until I die!"
Gu Jianhun glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan with disdain.
His arrogance stemmed from his stubbornness; if it weren't for Tu Xuehua, no one else could persuade him, not even Zhang Xiaoshan.
"It's not about changing one's appearance, but about cultivating an extremely domineering martial art to achieve a reshaping effect."
In fact, you have seen this martial art before. I believe you have witnessed the changes in Master Xingyin back then, and I don't need to elaborate on its benefits.
"If you, senior, grow a foot or two taller, and with the help of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and if you don't reveal your identity yourself, who in the world will know who you are?"
"The Wedding Dress Divine Skill?"
A flash of inspiration struck Gu Jianhun; he hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoshan to have such a thought.
However, upon realizing the domineering nature of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and that Zhang Xiaoshan was eyeing his entire power, Gu Jianhun nodded in agreement.
"can!"
Despite the immense debt of gratitude owed to him, and even after all these years of meditation and contemplation, Gu Jianhun is not ungrateful.
At least after his anger subsided, he knew that Zhang Xiaoshan did everything for his own good, or to restrain Tu Xuehua and prevent him from causing trouble in the martial arts world.
Regardless of the reason, he had to do Zhang Xiaoshan this favor.
Chapter 576 Eight-Year-Old Top Master Zhang Yuan Passes on His Skills
"This is the Zhang family's secret base?"
On the large ship, Gu Jianhun looked at the island, which resembled a super fortress. He hadn't expected that the Zhang family's secret base was not only hidden but also so formidable in its defenses.
He sensed a deadly threat just thirty miles away.
This is the intuition of a grandmaster.
Upon closer inspection, the Hell Gate was struck by the dense array of cannons, a sight that reminded them of the devastating effects of those cannons.
It is easy to imagine that if these cannons were to bombard the enemy simultaneously, the ships on the sea with nowhere to hide would suffer a devastating blow.
Even a peerless master, let alone whether they can dodge in time.
After the ship wrecked, there was nowhere to hide except for the Zhang family's base in the vast ocean, which stretched for thousands of miles.
They basically only face the fate of being caught or drowned at sea.
As for infiltrating, he didn't believe Zhang Xiaoshan would make a mistake.
“This is already a deep-sea area, and it is in a remote location. Few ships can usually reach this place.”
Gu Jianhun looked at the slowly opening steel gate, which was more than a foot thick and made of refined iron, weighing at least tens or hundreds of millions of kilograms.
"Senior, please!"
Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, compared to the secluded and mysterious Ghost Street, this place is a modern 'deep-sea prison'.
But for Gu Jianhun and the workers here, it's like a new world.
After all, compared to the dire situation in Kyushu, this place is affluent with complete entertainment facilities, more like a paradise on earth.
"Young Master Zhang, there must be over 19 people here, right?"
"More than 53,000 people!"
Hiss...
Upon hearing that such a small island, barely a thousand feet in circumference, actually had so many people, even Gu Jianhun looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in shock.
"With so many people, even feeding them will be a problem!"
"Senior is joking. The Zhang family has an abundance of grain, to say nothing of other things."
The grain is basically stored for two years, and new grain is replenished once a year.
"Two years' worth of grain?"
Looking at the impenetrable defensive barriers around him, Gu Jianhun thought that if it were a siege battle, the empire would not allow its soldiers to stay at sea for a year or two. This was an absolute strategic reserve.
Moreover, if we offend the Zhang family and destroy this place, we must be prepared for mutual destruction.
"Amitabha Buddha, greetings, young master!"
Master Juetong, who came to greet Zhang Xiaoshan, looked at the ancient sword spirit that Zhang Xiaoshan brought with a somewhat puzzled expression.
He had never met Gu Jianhun, but he knew that the person Zhang Xiaoshan brought was definitely not simple.
“Master Jue Tong, this is the ancient sword soul of the Fire Cloud Evil God. It will be cultivating here for a period of time to master the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.”
Fire Cloud Evil God Ancient Sword Soul!
Even at his peak, Jue Tong couldn't help but show shock upon hearing the name of this peerless demon, looking incredulously at the seemingly amiable Gu Jianhun.
Not only is Gu Jianhun not dead, but Zhang Xiaoshan is even going to help him cultivate the Wedding Dress Divine Skill?
"Amitabha!
Young master, isn't it rumored in the martial arts world that Master Gu has already been buried in Hell Valley?
So many people witnessed it, and it happened while both he and Master Yan were severely injured. How could Benefactor Gu possibly...?
"I had someone rescue him, after all, he is Miss Tu's father."
However, the old master's resentment had not subsided, so I kept him locked up in Ghost Street to meditate and comprehend the Tao!
Five years ago, the old man's resentment had begun to dissipate, and after a period of meditation and enlightenment, he had reached a certain level of spiritual attainment. That's why I decided to let him out. Ghost Street couldn't imprison him for a lifetime.
