"This pill is specifically for increasing internal strength. Let's try our luck."
Whether it was Old Wang's suggestion that worked, Zheng Zha's protagonist aura, or Lin Yang's pills that made a difference, in any case, as time went by, Zheng Zha's aura grew stronger and stronger.
Although he was unconscious and in great pain at this time, all his signs indicated that his condition was improving.
However, at that very moment, a tremendous change occurred at the location of the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation in the distance. A continuous stream of chanting echoed, accompanied by an indescribable Daoist aura that spread far and wide.
"Do you think the Holy Maiden will succeed this time?" Liao Hua asked cautiously, lowering his voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang said firmly, "Can't you just remove the 'ma'? This time, the Holy Maiden will definitely succeed."
At this moment, Zhang Ning sat cross-legged in the center of the great formation. With the influx of a large amount of magical power, the jade ruyi in his hand grew brighter and brighter. It had changed from three colors to five colors. At the same time, the frequency of its flashing also increased.
Soon, with the use of various secret techniques, Xue Nai's spiritual power broke through once again. At the same time, a large amount of magical power was poured into the jade ruyi as if it were free, and soon, it began to show a seven-colored radiance.
"It's seven colors! It's seven colors! It's about to succeed! Thank goodness for this barbarian. Otherwise, wouldn't the Holy Maiden have had to break through prematurely, damaging her foundation?" Zhou Cang said with some relief as he looked at Xue Nai, whose hair was now completely white.
At that very moment, with the appearance of seven-colored light, the jade ruyi emitted an incomparably dazzling radiance that shot straight into the sky. It was clearly visible within a radius of hundreds of miles.
This ray of light, like a signal, shot directly into the sky, piercing through the clouds. In the end, it even broke through the constraints of this universe and rushed towards the distant main world.
"What is this? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity when I look at this light screen?"
However, just as Lin Yang was wondering, a flood of information suddenly appeared in his mind. The sheer volume of information nearly overwhelmed him. Needless to say, this was the original owner's memories. Now, they were simply being triggered.
Lin Yang could understand this situation, but he couldn't forgive it. He had kept a backup plan at every turn; who knew if the original owner would pull another one after all three regrets were resolved?

Chapter 85: It's alright, we are one.
In the main world, nestled among the mountains of Ji Province, the terrain is incredibly rugged and the mountain paths are extremely difficult to traverse, yet the spiritual energy is abundant. Moreover, and even more strangely, atop the mountain, stands a small Taoist temple.
What's even more surprising is that, looking around, there's no path leading up the mountain, nor any trace of footsteps. Therefore, over time, although many people were curious, that's all that remained of it.
Ordinary people can't fly, so they naturally don't know what's inside a Taoist temple. But those who can fly are people with backgrounds and power, so they naturally know that knowing more isn't necessarily better.
At this moment, there were three Taoist priests in the temple. These three priests appeared very simple, and the entire temple was not decorated with any gold, silver, jewels, or precious stones. It looked very simple.
"Phew, my niece Ning has been missing for a quarter of an hour, why haven't I sensed her yet?" A muscular man, who looked more like a military general than a Taoist priest, said casually.
He didn't bother to conceal his voice as he spoke, and it carried far and wide. So much so that even the birds that had landed on the branches were startled and took flight.
"Third brother, can't you change your ways? You're always so easily startled. One day, you'll scare me sick." Zhang Bao shook his head with a wry smile.
"Hey, I'm just worried. That place of reincarnation is too mysterious. You know, my niece Ning disappeared right in front of us, and yet we didn't sense anything at all," Zhang Liang said, frowning.
To be honest, although I had learned about the wonders of the Land of Reincarnation from many secret records in the past, who would believe it before seeing it with their own eyes?
However, Zhang Ning disappeared right under their noses several times in a row, and neither their divine sense, spiritual perception, nor any divination techniques could detect him.
It was as if Zhang Ning's destiny had completely vanished from this world. In other words, before he returned, this person no longer existed in this world.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Liang definitely wouldn't have believed it. He might have slapped him across the face and gone up to him to tell him he was talking nonsense.
"Indeed, the Land of Reincarnation is unfathomably deep. Once one enters the cycle of reincarnation, all destinies and fates are concealed, and every chosen one becomes a so-called variable."
"You know, even a single variable is enough to give those of us who are well-versed in the secrets of heaven a headache. With over a thousand variables all at once, the secrets of heaven would be completely ruined. We wouldn't be able to predict anything, we wouldn't be able to understand anything. It's exactly the same situation as during the Great Calamity," Zhang Bao said with admiration, but also with a hint of lingering fear.
"Yes, the Land of Reincarnation is indeed very powerful. Putting aside everything else, its control over time far surpasses that of others. I have already investigated, and no matter how long those chosen ones stay in the Land of Reincarnation, it is always one hour in our world."
You know, some people have farmed in other worlds and developed slowly, staying for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, but in the main world, it's still only an hour.
This means that the Land of Reincarnation is not only powerful in terms of space, but also in terms of time. These two domineering supernatural powers alone are enough to dispel the ulterior motives of most people.
However, at this moment, the Taoist priest who had been sitting above with his eyes closed in meditation suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, an awe-inspiring aura automatically appeared.
"Good, good, good. I have received Ning'er's message and have some understanding of the specific location of that world," Zhang Jiao suddenly said.
"Did you receive the message? How far is it? Are there any dangers along the way? How long will it take?" Zhang Liang asked hurriedly.
After all, developing a complete world involves far too many factors. With so many factors at play, the possibility of failure is quite high.
"Well, if I were to rely solely on myself, it would probably take at least three months to fly at full speed. However, with that magic weapon, it should only take three days."
"Moreover, Ning'er's message said that the world was already in the so-called Dharma-ending Age, and the gods had long since departed. In all that she had seen and heard, there wasn't even a fourth-order immortal."
"However, even if the gods have left behind a backup plan, I, Zhang Jiao, have nothing to fear," Zhang Jiao said confidently. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
However, he certainly has the qualifications. Judging from his age alone, Zhang Jiao is only a few hundred years old, not even a thousand years old. Among fifth-order immortals, he is already considered young.
It should be noted that in the Taoist sect today, the Four True Immortals are the leaders.
Among them, Zuo Ci is an exceptionally long-lived individual. Through various secret methods, he has now lived for eight or nine thousand years.
As for whether it will be eight thousand, nine thousand, or even ten thousand years, only he himself knows. However, no matter how powerful the secret technique is, a mere Earth Immortal probably won't live much longer.
However, precisely because of this, he possessed the most secret techniques among the four True Immortals. But in Zhang Jiao's eyes, it was merely a bit of a hassle.
The remaining Yu Ji has now lived for over four thousand years. As for the Venerable Zixu of Sichuan, although he is incredibly mysterious, a little research shows that he is no younger than Yu Ji.
Only Zhang Jiao, who is only five or six hundred years old this year, has already become one of the four great immortals of Taoism, along with the other three.
Seeing Zhang Jiao laughing loudly, Zhang Bao subconsciously frowned. Logically speaking, his elder brother wasn't such an arrogant person. Could it be that some great joyous occasion had occurred?
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jiao explained, "I succeeded, I broke through. Now I am a true celestial being."
Not long ago, after the Chosen One appeared, Zhang Jiao seized the opportunity and broke through to the sixth-order Celestial Immortal.
