Lightning struck, and Zhang Yang not only felt no fear but instead thought he should embrace the lightning, especially the Green Figure in his mind, as if it wanted to harness external power to break through this membrane.
"Crack!" The lightning struck directly above Zhang Yang's head. He felt a surge of electricity rushing down but did not extend further. Meanwhile, the Green Figure in his mind seemed to become excited, its rhythm quickening, and the membrane trapping the humanoid figure appeared to have been split open, allowing for more freedom of movement.
"Crack!" A second bolt of lightning followed, causing a buzzing sensation in Zhang Yang's mind. The membrane confining the humanoid figure was completely torn apart, and the Green Figure broke free from its restraints and surged out!
"Crack!" The third bolt of lightning came!
This time, Zhang Yang struggled to maintain his balance and nearly fell to the ground. However, he managed to hold himself up, feeling weak and numb all over; it seemed he was standing only by sheer willpower.
In his mind, the Green Figure surprisingly caught this third bolt of lightning with one hand and then formed a circular Tai Chi shape with both hands, alternating back and forth as if it were absorbing the lightning, radiating with light.
Suddenly, the light flickered within the humanoid figure, and the Green Figure transformed into the Blue Figure!
Zhang Yang's previous sense of weakness vanished in an instant, replaced by a surge of energy. He suddenly leaped into the air, rising several meters off the ground. In mid-air, he thrust his hands outward forcefully, sending waves of light rippling around him, accompanied by a loud "bang."
Upon landing, Zhang Yang looked up at the sky; the birds had returned to their normal size.
"Heavenly Tribulation!" At some point, Yu Qingwei had appeared at the entrance of the main hall, her astonished expression frozen as she exclaimed loudly.
Shrink the Earth to an Inch had been broken.
The two exited Zichen Temple. Yu Qingwei said, "I didn't expect you to have gone through Heavenly Tribulation. For those in Dao Gate, after experiencing Heavenly Tribulation, their cultivation level rises to a new tier. Your Spiritual Energy was already powerful; now that you've reached peak condition, you broke through Shrink the Earth to an Inch directly with your Spiritual Energy."
"It was merely an illusion," Zhang Yang replied as the Blade-Shaped Scar on his forehead glimmered with a green hue.
After merging with the Strange Soul's green tier, Zhang Yang clearly felt that the increased spiritual power was no longer concrete but rather a sensitivity to all things—a fusion of his own spiritual power with that of heaven and earth.
Thus, in his eyes, Shrink the Earth to an Inch became a simple illusion that he could easily break through using his spiritual power.
Moreover, what he had previously contemplated about upgrading from green tier to blue tier required assistance from water-related elements became clearer in his mind. Since he had already merged with Soul Cultivation's green tier, he had effectively reached a high level of Soul Cultivation. To merge with the higher blue tier, what he needed was nothing more than drinking water; as long as he maintained vigorous vitality in his physical body, he would get closer to blue tier—gradually transforming quantity into quality until upgrading occurred naturally.
At the same time, although Zhang Yang still did not know what would happen if he merged with a higher blue tier, he speculated that upon reaching blue tier, any increase in spiritual power would likely not be concrete but rather an enhancement and expansion of existing spiritual power.
After merging with the green tier, Zhang Yang's ability to manipulate objects from a distance and his mental perception had improved significantly. "Toothless knows we broke through the formation," Zhang Yang said softly as his eyes shifted.
"How do you know?" Yu Qingwei clearly still couldn't adapt to Zhang Yang's suddenly increased spiritual power.
"I have a feeling. Although I have no evidence, I just feel that it's true," Zhang Yang said with a slight smile.
"So what do we do now?" Yu Qingwei asked.
"Let's go home," Zhang Yang said as he walked down the mountain.
"What about Toothless?" Yu Qingwei continued to ask.
"Just leave him for now. Wait until he fully masters the Jiazi Rainbow Shadow," Zhang Yang replied while walking.
Yu Qingwei was puzzled. "If he fully masters it, how are we going to deal with him?"
"Don't worry, even if he fully masters it, it's just the Earthly Branch Techniques. It's merely using the forces of nature to calculate and arrange formations; it won't amount to anything significant," Zhang Yang said lightly.
Yu Qingwei thought to himself, "Damn, someone who has survived the Heavenly Tribulation is indeed different. In such a short time, he's like a completely different person. Well, I guess I'll just follow him." Yu Qingwei quickened his pace to catch up with Zhang Yang as they descended the mountain.
"Brother Yu, I have a question for you," Zhang Yang suddenly asked.
"Go ahead."
"You possess Taoist skills. As long as you casually engage in some exorcism or geomancy work, you could live comfortably. Why bother to open a restaurant and tire yourself out?"
"I don't want to be someone who transcends the world, nor do I want to be someone who immerses in it."
"Why is that?"
"A transcendent person does not partake in worldly affairs and focuses solely on cultivation, like Xuan Zhenzi who abandoned his official position and family; an immersed person may have Taoist skills but is greedy for worldly desires, like Toothless who uses his skills to gain wealth."
"So what kind of person do you want to be?"
"I want to be someone who blends in with the world. The Taoist skills I learn are only for my mission; I rely on normal means for my livelihood."
"Mission?"
"Yes, missions can be big or small. For example, my mission is to unravel the mysteries of my ancestors and eliminate the traitors of my sect."
In the cold wind, Zhang Yang nodded. What was his mission? He had always wanted to punish the wicked and eliminate evil, but with so many evildoers emerging, how could he possibly eradicate them all? Moreover, it was better to reform the wicked than to simply eliminate them. This thought led Zhang Yang to ponder deeply; what was the root of evil? Was it truly that humans are inherently evil from the beginning?
After merging with the azure level, Zhang Yang found that his exploration of all things seemed to have deepened.
With their own thoughts, the two traveled in silence on their way back.
At this moment, Toothless was staying at a hot spring inn, soaking in the hot spring pool in his room. After Zhang Yang broke through the formation, he suffered a backlash that damaged his Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Fortunately, the injury was not severe and would heal with a month or two of recuperation.
"How could he break my Shrink the Earth to an Inch!" Toothless initially thought Zhang Yang was a Soul Refining Master, but after careful calculation, he realized that Zhang Yang was not a Soul Refining Master but rather someone who had achieved Soul Integration. Little did he know that before this Soul Integration, Zhang Yang had cultivated for a thousand years within the Soul-Subduing Blade, which left Toothless puzzled about whose soul possessed such powerful spiritual energy without affecting its original essence.
Toothless found this utterly incomprehensible. Even after years of cultivation, such strange occurrences were unheard of.
Originally, seeing Zhang Yang's exceptional talent made him want to take him as a disciple. However, Zhang Yang's strong sense of justice meant he would oppose him. Toothless did not wish to go to great lengths to eliminate him; he thought it would be best if they could coexist peacefully without obstructing each other's paths. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang and Yu Qingwei had managed to reach Zichen Temple.
"It seems that once I recover, my top priority will be to eliminate these two. Otherwise, they will become a source of trouble." Toothless closed his eyes.
