Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 399: It didn't turn into soup, but it's about to become light.
As Zhang Ze breathed, the silver metal in the bronze groove around him began to ripple, and the thirty-six Thousand Machine Array Symbols lit up in turn, constantly changing color.

As the magic array activated, the most authentic-looking Sword Sect Golden Core floated out of Zhang Ze's mouth.

The golden core slowly rotated, and Zhang Ze's breathing gradually stabilized. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the size of the golden core began to shrink continuously.

Golden spiritual energy permeated the air, radiating brilliance, like the setting sun returning to the sea, like the sunrise over a sacred mountain.

The junior sister took out her sunglasses and put them on. Looking at the mist formed from the golden core, for some reason, all she could think about was perfection.

Lily, who was also wearing sunglasses, suddenly tugged at Chen Qin's sleeve, "Hey, why is the boss shaking? Is something wrong?"

As the contractor and legal representative of this magic circle, Lily was a little flustered.

"It should be fine," Chen Qin said softly.

She was very familiar with the way Zhang Ze shook; he would shake like that every time he felt itchy.

However, to be on the safe side, she turned to look at Xiangxiang and Lao Tang, who were monitoring the magic array.

They both shook their heads, indicating that everything was normal.

Zhang Ze has not been in any trouble for the time being.

Just as his junior sister guessed, he was indeed trembling because he was itchy.

It made me feel itchy from the vibration.

With the aid of the magic array, the Star God's special vibration frequency was transmitted, and this frequency acted evenly on his whole body. In addition to causing the Sword Sect Golden Core to gradually decompose, it also made his whole body numb.

He doesn't dare to speak now, because if he opens his mouth, it will definitely be electronic music.

As the silvery-white liquid metal filled all the grooves, the vibration frequency reached its maximum, and Zhang Ze's Sword Sect Golden Core completely disappeared.

It's time to take the next step.

Zhang Ze changed his hand seals again, using the Spirit Fusion Technique. His body gradually transformed into a translucent gold color. However, this time he did not solidify his physical form, but instead relaxed his mind and dispersed like smoke.

As his body gradually transformed into spiritual energy, the outermost spirit-gathering and soul-locking array lit up, helping Zhang Ze maintain his self-preservation and prevent him from dissipating into nothingness, in coordination with the other arrays.

This time, Zhang Ze clearly felt something was wrong with his body.

Although I hate to admit it, it really feels like I have several kidney stones in my lower back, which are uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Shaking off his distracting thoughts, Zhang Ze, now transformed into orange juice, continued with the next step.

Merging with the Golden Core of the Sword Sect.

Under Xiangxiang's control, the entire system house began to slowly sink.

As the power of the earth's veins was drawn in, Zhang Ze once again felt the same sense of floating on clouds, observing the affairs of the world and looking down upon all living beings that he had experienced at the Qinghe Meeting.

This time, however, he didn't go far; he just circled around Qianji Town.

I watched for a while, seeing a group of monks bidding up to 100 million to 1 billion Zha Shide tokens. Then I watched for a while, seeing Her Majesty the Cat Girl sneaking snacks from Lily with Momo in the backstage.

Oh, and Fu Ji is also preparing to go on stage to auction off the top-grade Tai Sui she grew herself.

Leaving the Zha Shi De, I turned my gaze towards the pedestrian street.

In the Erliqiao bracelet shop, Qiao Lezhi was helping her father sell goods, while the little Fu Ji hid behind the counter, observing the customers in the shop like a spy.

Looking further afield, heading north along the street, it was already dusk, and the streetlights were just coming on.

Outside the tavern, foreign drinkers embraced, boasting and swaying back and forth.

In the teahouse, disciples from the three sects debated etiquette and expounded the Dharma, discussing the Dao around the table. The surrounding lay practitioners either stood in line and chimed in, or lowered their heads in deep thought. No one was dissatisfied, and no one hid their treasures; the atmosphere was harmonious.

On the long street, the black-clad bootlegger silently blended into the patrolling group of black-clad monks. He arrogantly stuck a note on the back of one of the monks that read "Want to buy?" before leaving the group and disappearing into the crowd.

All of this was the bustling world of everyday life, which should have stirred up all sorts of thoughts in people's minds, but after Zhang Ze looked at it, he became more and more calm.

He likes it here.

Composing himself, Zhang Ze began the fusion process.

As the two golden wisps of mist merged, the silvery-white liquid metal began to boil, and the star gods shone with dazzling brilliance.

Successful.

The excess impurities turned into specks of golden light, which were swallowed by the silvery-white liquid metal. At the same time, Zhang Ze clearly felt that one of his defects had been repaired.

One of Ze Bao'er's beads broke, leaving four.

However, Zhang Ze did not continue immediately. Instead, he unified his spiritual energy, exited the spirit fusion state, and re-condensed his physical form.

Zhang Ze raised his hand, signaling the Taoist priest to stop the magic array.

"What's wrong, kid? Is something wrong?" Old Tang asked from above.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to check if it worked." Zhang Ze said, waving to Fu Ji.

"What are you doing!" Fu Ji jumped into the formation and looked up to ask.

"Let's have a friendly spar," Zhang Ze said.

"Okay."

Little Fuji responded, and then pale blue slime seeped out from outside the room, from Lily's pocket, and gathered in front of Zhang Ze.

Soon a standard version of a rotten princess appeared in front of me.

Looking at the standard version of Fu Hime in front of him, Zhang Ze suddenly felt nostalgic.

The main problem is that after seeing so many bizarre and grotesque female characters, it's really hard to adjust to seeing a normal one all of a sudden.

After Fu Ji finished preparing, Zhang Ze also began to increase his aura. Just as he was about to reach a certain critical point, he looked at his right hand.

This time, the right hand didn't disappear, but that's all; any further improvement would still cause problems.

Zhang Ze cupped his hands, indicating that Fu Ji could begin.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ze, I apologize." As her physical form and intelligence returned to normal, Fu Ji bowed and said.

The ground flipped, the magic array sank, and it was temporarily protected. Zhang Ze's master, Old Li, raised his hand and set up a dark sword array for the two to spar.

With a thought, a semi-transparent golden sword pellet appeared in Zhang Ze's hand.

In the vast expanse of Mount Sumeru, countless sword shadows appeared.

The sword shadows were illusory, with only a few being real, but Fu Ji neither dodged nor avoided them.

The sword light pierced through Fu Ji's body, only causing a ripple.

After his attack failed, Zhang Ze took a step back, dodging Fu Ji's unclean little hand.

Countless hands reached out from the void, some holding hammers, others forming sword gestures, all aimed at Zhang Ze.

These are not fake, they are all real.

Although Zhang Ze tried his best to dodge, there were simply too many of them, and several small swords still managed to pierce his body.

"Huh?" Fuhime sighed.

Her sword pierced through Zhang Ze's body, while half of Zhang Ze's body became ethereal, dissipating into clouds and smoke. Golden light flowed within the smoke, and in an instant, it transformed into countless flying swords that stabbed towards Fu Ji.

He transformed himself into a sword formation.

The Spirit Fusion Technique, which was originally only for punching, has undergone a mutation.

Use your body as a sword.

Seeing this, Fu Ji also let loose and scattered in an instant, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. A large group of Fu Ji jumped into the sword formation with giggles and laughter.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ze, take this! Hahaha!"

"Don't step on my foot!"

Although Zhang Ze and Fu Ji were only two people, they fought with the momentum of a group battle.

Lily stood on tiptoe watching the commotion, but after a long time she still couldn't figure it out.

too messy.

She murmured to herself, "Could this move by the boss be the legendary Sword Man Sword Formation?"

Although the voice was soft, Zhang Ze still heard it.

A golden flying sword flew towards Lily, but instead of piercing down, it stopped right in front of Lily's face.

The golden sword transformed into a giant hand, which gave Lily the middle finger before vanishing without a trace with a "poof".

It startled Lily.

The competition offstage remained fierce and evenly matched.

After a while.

"Let's stop fighting." Zhang Ze's voice rang out simultaneously from within the sword formation.

"Oh, okay." The BL girls, who were having a great time, merged back into one, and Zhang Ze transformed back into human form, gently falling from the sky.

It wasn't that he was no match for Fu Ji, but rather that his back hurt.

After the Sword Sect's Golden Core merged into his body, although his Primordial Body was partially restored, he became increasingly sensitive to the existence of other Golden Cores.

After letting loose and moving my hands for a while, I started to feel pain in my lower back and couldn't last as long.

The only way to completely solve this problem is to refine all the golden cores.

"Let's continue with the magic circle." Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, took the little rotten girl who was swinging on his head, and turned to say to Old Tang.

……

The next six days.

Zhang Ze refined the golden cores from the Beast Taming Sect and Longhu Mountain respectively.

Perhaps because Zhang Ze's body had been restored, his skin became even whiter and more radiant. Even his master, Old Li, couldn't resist pinching it a couple of times.

It's said that the giant radish looks just like a big white radish. Everything seems to be going well.

until the seventh day.

There were some minor problems when refining that innate Dao pill.

Inside the magic circle.

Zhang Ze removed his shirt, sat cross-legged with his upper body bare, his face expressionless, surrounded by a large group of people.

The mother-in-law, who had been summoned by her junior sister, looked at Zhang Ze's chest and shook her head.

"You're a really clever kid; you always come up with something new every time."

Ah Li squeezed through the crowd's legs, climbed onto Zhang Ze's shoulder by using his abs as leverage, and then lay there, reaching out to hold Zhang Ze's chest.

"It's really stuck? That's amazing."

Zhang Ze's innate Dao Pill was firmly stuck in his chest, as if it had been there since birth and could not be removed.

Just like the Ultraman timer.

This is a perfect example of how excessive joy can lead to sorrow.

This innate Dao Pill, which originally did not belong to him, is now both a gift and a trouble.

If successful, it will be a great boost, allowing your cultivation to reach a higher level. If unsuccessful, you will likely remain stuck here.

The reason for this result is not that there is a problem with the magic array or the method, but that the power is insufficient.

This innate Dao pill is quite difficult to deal with; even the Star God Gate cannot shatter it.

Currently, only 20% has been integrated.

As for Zhang Ze's last Great White Pill, which absorbed demonic power and transformed into a white tiger, it was the same; in fact, for some reason, it was even harder than this Innate Dao Pill...

Zhang Ze peered through the gaps between the crowd to his right, where several Star Gods lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly exhausted, like perfectly cooked egg yolks, emitting a faint steam.

It's been over-consumed.

Lily was fanning them with a palm-leaf fan, which was not very effective, but Lily still pretended to be trying her best.

The solution to this problem is not difficult; simply increase the number of star gods within the magic array.

But the problem is, how do we find them?

Zhang Ze had an idea, but he needed to verify it.

The old men couldn't offer much help with this matter for the time being, so after observing Wenming, they all left, saying they would let them know if they needed any assistance.

After the old men left, the projection of Master Xiang, who had worked hard all day, floated out.

"They're all still here; they weren't damaged by Sister Wang. However, it will take some time to put them back together, because installing that thing requires the help of the Star Gods..."

After Xiangxiang finished speaking, she turned to look at the place where the Star Gods were lying. They still looked exhausted and lay there like salted duck eggs.

What Xiangxiang was talking about was a set of magical artifacts from the original White Emperor City, which was used to communicate with star gods thousands of miles away and issue tasks.

Each star god has a corresponding exclusive magical artifact.

After the Star Gods who had left for various reasons went missing, Xiangxiang dismantled all the devices.

Firstly, it was for the sake of secrecy, and secondly, it was to reduce the consumption of Baidi City.

When I tried to contact 04 before, Xiangxiang tried it once, but because 04 was no longer around, I didn't get any response.

So Xiangxiang thought these things were completely broken, so she took them apart again.

Fortunately, she didn't have the habit of decluttering and simply gave these things to Lily to study and take apart for fun, otherwise she would have nowhere to cry now.

"Let's talk about it in a few days and let the Star Gods get some rest."

Zhang Ze got up and went to Xing Shen's side. Instead of using a palm leaf fan like Lily, he cleverly had A Li conjure up an electric fan that didn't require electricity.

.........

Half a month later.

Zhang Ze lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The junior sister lay beside him, her little hands restlessly gripping the handle, squeezing it back and forth.

"Seriously, can't you just let that thing go soft?"

The junior sister pinched the Dao pill on Zhang Ze's chest and asked.

She found this thing very fun, and felt uncomfortable if she didn't play with it every day.

“It won’t soften, but I can change its color,” Zhang Ze said, putting his arm around his junior sister’s shoulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Innate Dao Pill on Zhang Ze's chest began to glow red...

The junior sister pinched the car, and the innate Dao pill on Zhang Ze's chest began to change color rhythmically.

It's like pressing some small switch.

After the two played with the small switch for a while, the junior sister straightened up, her black hair falling down, and looked at Zhang Ze.

"By the way... are you going out again?"

The junior sister is in a dilemma. She doesn't want Zhang Ze to go out because he never gets away peacefully when he does; he always manages to cause a lot of trouble.

But staying home isn't an option either; without bringing back those Star Gods, Zhang Ze's problem cannot be solved.

However, Zhang Ze shook his head.

"I don't go out."

Junior sister: "Huh? Really!"

Zhang Ze: "Really. There are a total of thirteen missing Star Gods. Excluding 04, there are twelve left."

"Yesterday, after Xiangxiang finished installing half of the device, she tried to start it up. Four of them responded, but only for a moment."

Zhang Ze waved his hand, and a map of the four continents appeared on the ceiling.
"We can't pinpoint their exact location, only their general area. And they... well... they're still alive, and they're all hiding inside people's bodies..."

Junior sister, "Huh? Inside the body? Like before with Meimei?"

Zhang Ze: "That's right."

"What should we do then? Should we issue a sect mission to find the person?" the junior sister asked.

“There’s no need, because we have no idea who they are, and making a big fuss might backfire,” Zhang Ze said as he got up and dressed.

"So, I plan to let those people come over on their own. Although we can't pinpoint their location, we can do some things through indiscriminate broadcasting. Let's go and see how their preparations are going."

After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he casually patted the person next to him.

Junior sister, "Hmm."

.........

All of them are at home.

After a moment of disorientation, Old Tang opened his eyes. He looked around internally and found nothing unusual.

Even though the star god was right inside him, he couldn't feel it at all.

However, the operable panel in front of them was clearly visible.

[Task 1: Take a walk if you're not sick]

【Task 2: You are now a mature sect leader. Remember to drink plenty of hot tea every day (0/1)】

"Amazing," Old Tang muttered to himself.

The old man had crawled inside Dao Ye's body and was cooperating with Lily and Xiangxiang in conducting experiments.

"Master Dao, can you still see the words?" Lily called out from the other end.

“I can see it.” He took two steps, picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and immediately the two small tasks were marked as completed.

However, this was not the outcome Lily desired.

She continued to cooperate with Xiangxiang, adjusting the strange magical artifact that resembled a signal tower.

As the adjustment was made, the interface in front of Lao Tang disappeared.

Instead, a voice devoid of emotion was heard.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?

"Can you hear me?" This time, Lily didn't ask Old Tang, but the old man.

A black bubble rose from the top of Old Tang's head. The bubble burst, and the old man's voice rang out.

"I can't hear it."

Seeing this, Lily whistled.

"It's done!"

After several more attempts, they confirmed that the broadcast could only be heard by the person being hosted, but not by the Star God. Only then was the experiment officially declared a success.

What they had to do was bypass the Star God, and through some prior preparations and by setting up tasks, they would transform into the system's old man and gradually lure over those who were being held captive by the Star God but were unaware of it.

Although I don't know if it will work out, I have to give it a try.

Zhang Ze and his team are professionals at this kind of thing.

Lily took out several tattered books written by Zhang Ze from her bosom.

Daily Intelligence: From Sect Servant to Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws

"I've already reached the Mahayana stage, why is the old man only arriving now?"
