Randomly practicing evil skills, the nuclear light shines everywhere

Chapter 349 Nuclear Light Breaks the Sky Barrier

A thousand miles underground from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A surging, dark river carried immeasurable amounts of black water into a portal of light.

"Is this where the treasure you were talking about is located?"

Zhang Yu pointed at the golden light gate, which was ten thousand feet in size, and asked with a sidelong glance.

"That's right, but this is the entrance to that powerful being's cave!"

After saying that, Zhou Minghuang took a step forward, his body turning into a purple afterimage and disappearing into the golden light gate in front of him.

Zhang Yu flicked his sleeves and slowly walked in.

As soon as he stepped inside, his vision cleared up. The oppressive underground environment vanished, replaced by a boundless and magnificent landscape under a clear blue sky.

The only trace of his arrival was the portal of light behind him and the black river that meandered to the horizon beneath his feet.

Is this a grotto-heaven, or a microcosm?

Zhang Yu thought to himself.

In the Starry Sky Realm, once one cultivates to the Void Refining Realm, one can refine space and transform it into a grotto-heaven.

When one cultivates to the ultimate state of Dao Integration, one can create a microcosm, within which the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the movement of stars, are all defined by the creator of the microcosm.

The biggest difference between a grotto-heaven and a microcosm is not size.

Rather, the grotto-heavens exist in relation to the macrocosm, while the microcosm can exist independently without the macrocosm.

However, in this place, Zhang Yu could not sense any trace of the cave heaven or the microcosm; it was as if this were a normal world.

"This is the interior of the Great Power's cave."

Zhou Minghuang pointed to some ruins around him and said calmly, "Originally, there were many palaces here with restrictions set up, containing Star Pearls and some divine skills and secret techniques."

"However, over the course of thousands of years, these restrictions have long been broken, and the treasures inside have long been taken away."

"Now, only the most central palace remains."

With that, she pointed her slender, white finger to the sky above a huge island suspended in mid-air.

Zhang Yu estimated it to be at least ten thousand miles in size, like a huge star suspended in the sky, radiating golden light.

"Let's go there!"

With a light step, Zhou Minghuang's body soared into the sky, lightly touching the pebbles around the floating island before steadily floating above it.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised. With a flick of his sleeve, he conjured a white cloud and flew over.

As soon as he approached the floating giant island, he felt his body suddenly lose weight, as if he were in the deep space of space, unable to find any support in any direction.

Instantly, he fixed his gaze on the floating giant island below.

After observing for a moment, he asked in a deep voice:
"This floating island doesn't seem to have any restrictions set up, nor is it in outer space, yet it allows us to float on it. It seems to be made of some special material..."

Zhou Minghuang said, "The reason this island can float, and even make us float, is not due to the power of a restriction, but rather by the use of a material called Yuan Magnetism!"

"Of course, this island is actually protected by a restriction, but it is deliberately hidden. Without some special methods, it is impossible to see it at all."

"Magnetic field?!"

"Hidden restriction!"

Zhang Yu looked at the black and gold-colored metal ores and nodded slightly in his heart.

This material, called Yuanci, seems to resemble the anti-gravity materials from science fiction novels of my past life.

Suppressing these distracting thoughts, he looked at Zhou Minghuang, who was dressed in a purple palace gown, and asked:

"Your Majesty, since you are quite familiar with this place, then bring out this hidden restriction and let me see if I can break it!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Minghuang was even more impatient than Zhang Yu at this moment, so of course she wouldn't hesitate at all.

As Zhang Yu finished speaking, she slightly raised her jade-like hand.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and a golden-red gale was born out of thin air. The gold was like the color of Venus, and the red was like magma. It crackled and forced out a burst of scorching heat.

"Mastering All Laws!"

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It is the 'Imperial Laws of the Myriad Realms,' but the more cultivators below the fifth level use this method, the weaker their cultivation and the more their vital energy depletes. Even cultivators at the fifth level, if they possess the correct secret technique, will still lose some vital energy after using it once!"

"Without the correct secret techniques, even a fifth-level expert's vital energy will gradually decline, eventually falling from their cultivation level, becoming a mortal, or even dying and disappearing!"

"Of course, this is still the premise of using ordinary spells. If you use some earth-shattering supernatural power, your life force will be drained and your soul will be scattered!"

As Zhou Minghuang spoke, she glanced at Zhang Yu's tall and imposing figure beside her and asked with a puzzled expression:
"It seems you've also cultivated this supernatural power, but why is it that when you unleash this great power, nothing happens to you?"

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "Because you cultivate the 'Yuzheng Wanfa,' which is female, while I cultivate the 'Yujin Wanfa,' which is male."

Does this have anything to do with gender?

Zhou Minghuang was filled with doubt.

"The female bleeds, but the male doesn't. Doesn't that matter?"

Zhang Yu countered with a question.

Zhou Minghuang was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Women do bleed before cultivating, but this won't happen after cultivation. That's a fallacy!"

"I think there's something wrong with the 'Control of All Techniques' you're practicing. Don't wait until there are no side effects now, but then even more terrifying side effects appear later. You'll regret it then."

"You're just being sour grapes!"

Zhang Yu waved his hand: "Kneel down and call me father now, and maybe I can pass on the 'Mastery of All Techniques' to you!"

"Impossible! You'd be more likely to call me 'Mom'!"

Zhou Minghuang said coldly.

Although she was indeed somewhat tempted by Zhang Yu's "Mastery of All Techniques," there was absolutely no way she would call Zhang Yu "father."

Even if she were dead, she wouldn't be able to scream!
"How rude! I kindly taught you my divine skills, and you still want to take advantage of me!"

Zhang Yu said with a look of disgust.

Zhou Minghuang took a deep breath and resisted the urge to shove her foot into Zhang Yu's mouth.

The next moment, she pressed her jade-like palm down sharply, letting out a soft cry:
"open!"

The golden-red aura, like a graceful golden phoenix, crashed down on nine specific locations on the floating giant island with overwhelming force.

boom! boom! boom……

Nine explosions rang out, and then a huge stone monument rose up in the center of the floating island.

The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough; the way of man is to take from those who have less than enough and give to those who have more than enough… The Nine Heavens Realm has suddenly been struck by a calamity. I have left behind the Star Pearl to bless future generations, who must pass a test…

As Zhang Yu slowly read out the inscriptions in bronze script, Zhou Minghuang's lips curled into a slight smile:
"Zhang Yu, I've heard that the first line of this inscription contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and contains unparalleled secrets. Could you please interpret it for me?"

"The supreme secret technique?"

Zhang Yu looked left and right, but couldn't figure it out.

"Hehe, you really can't decipher the divine skill's secrets. I advise you to give up your haphazardly modified 'Control of All Techniques' as soon as possible, otherwise you'll regret it when the side effects appear!"

Seeing Zhang Yu's furrowed brows, Zhou Minghuang immediately felt a surge of pride.

Zhang Yu's way of speaking is so annoying; he makes her furious every time!
It's so satisfying to see him get his comeuppance now!
"If you can decipher the secret techniques, then tell me what those secret methods are!"

Zhang Yu asked curiously.

He wanted to see what kind of amazing skills the crazy people in this world could glean from a famous philosophical quote.

"Isn't the key to understanding these two sentences quite obvious?"

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough; the way of man is to take from those who have less than enough to give to those who have more than enough. This means that Heaven is already imperfect and man needs to mend it. Therefore, this is a secret art of mending Heaven!"

"Unfortunately, I am too dull-witted and haven't grasped it yet..."

Zhou Minghuang said with a smug look on his face.

She herself said she was dull-witted, so wouldn't Zhang Yu, who didn't see through the Heaven-Mending Secret Technique, be directly classified as a fool?

She's subtly belittling Zhang Yu! The Heaven-Mending Secret Technique?

Zhang Yu was immediately stunned.

This philosophical quote from "The Realm of Morality" has been misunderstood by you as a secret technique for mending the heavens. No wonder cultivators in this world often go mad.

"What secret technique for mending the heavens? This is clearly a philosophical statement on governing a country!"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, intending to correct Zhou Minghuang's erroneous viewpoint.

She's not too insane; she can probably still be saved!

Zhou Minghuang's smile widened: "You interpret this divine skill manual as a guide to governing the country? Then I'd like to hear your explanation..."

"It's easy!"

Zhang Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"The so-called Way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough. This means that the Way of Heaven will take out what it has in excess and give to all things that need it."

"It's okay if you don't understand, let me give you an example:"
The sun in the sky is like the way of heaven. If it didn't constantly expend its energy, or spiritual power, to shine upon all things, then the flowers, grass, and trees on earth would wither, and all living things would perish.

Zhou Minghuang listened, seemingly understanding but not quite.

However, she would never admit that she didn't understand very well.

After a moment, she continued, "How do you explain the way of man, which is to take from the needy and give to the needy?"

"This is even simpler. The so-called 'human way' is to take from those who have less and give to those who have more, which means:"
Humanity means that those who are hungry and cold give up their meager rations to feed those who are well-off!

"Why should we support others when we ourselves are struggling to eat and stay warm?"

Zhou Minghuang said she didn't know.

Zhang Yu chuckled lightly: "Because if they don't support them, they'll either go to jail or their families will be ruined."

Zhou Minghuang was even more puzzled: "Then why don't they report it to the authorities? The government can help them!"

Zhang Yu smiled but said nothing.

This world is too cruel. People who are hungry and cold may have a human form, but in the eyes of those who are high and mighty, they are not human at all.

They have no opportunity to cultivate, nor do they have the resources to do so; their lives are precarious.

Therefore, he wanted to spread his divine skills throughout the world so that everyone could practice them!

Only when everyone cultivates themselves will this world become a better place!
……

Zhou Minghuang was silent for a moment, then continued, "Although your understanding doesn't mention any secret techniques for mending the heavens, it still makes some sense!"

"Forget it, let's just let this matter go."

"Now, let's work together to break through this restrictive stone tablet, and then we can unlock the treasure left behind by the great master."

At this point, she took a slight breath and said:
"However, you haven't broken through to the fifth level yet. You said earlier that you had a way to break this restriction. Can you tell me what that method is?"

Zhang Yu nodded and raised his hands slightly.

In an instant, a tremendous pressure expanded outwards from him, followed by a massive surge of spiritual energy flowing towards him from all directions.

The winds and clouds stirred in the heavens, and thunder roared!
Amidst the gathering of clouds and flashes of lightning, bits and pieces of magical power suddenly emerged, converging into a dazzling white sphere of light.

This is the sun!

Zhou Minghuang was slightly startled and blurted out without further ado, "You plan to use nuclear light to blast this stone tablet to pieces?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Yu nodded in agreement.

"It's useless. Although your nuclear light is powerful, it doesn't last long enough to damage this restrictive stone tablet."

As Zhou Minghuang spoke, the grievances in her heart were hard to express.

If she had known Zhang Yu was so unreliable, why would she have bothered to invite him?

"hateful!"

She was so angry that her whole body felt cold. Her internal energy was activated, and she unleashed a series of golden-red fist gusts that pounded against the stone tablet.

It's as if the stone tablet is being mistaken for a hateful person.

boom! boom! boom!
The sky was shaking, the earth was trembling, and the stone tablet was also cracked under the attack of the golden-red fist wind.

However, the crack was immediately healed by the effect of the restriction.

This is a repair magic circle.

If the restriction is not broken in one go, no matter how many attacks land on the stone tablet, it will be in vain.

This is also why she said it would take two people to open the Great Power's Relic.

"Back off!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yu's authoritative voice boomed behind her.

"Why are you backing away? Do you really think a nuclear blast can break through this...?"

Before Zhou Minghuang could finish speaking, Zhang Yu glared at her, and her momentum immediately weakened.

For the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she endured it!

Comforting herself with this thought, she, a dignified fifth-level expert, retreated without a word, leaving Zhang Yu with ample space.

"Refine it for me!"

Zhang Yu roared, and the white sun, a hundred miles in size, in his hand enveloped the ten-thousand-foot-tall stone tablet.

The light and heat were endless. As soon as they touched the stone tablet, the tablet showed signs of melting and even turning into ashes.

However, the stone tablet returned to its original state in the next moment.

"How long can you hold out?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Yu's face.

His nuclear light shines brightly, and as long as there is enough spiritual energy, it can last for several days and nights without any problem.

He could even last longer if he supplemented with the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends.

Let's see who can outlast whom!

A quarter of an hour later.

The protective stone tablet recovered noticeably slower under the intense heat radiation from the nuclear radiation.

Seeing this, Zhou Minghuang's beautiful eyes widened.

This nuclear light radiation has lasted for an incredible long time.

She was certain that if she had stayed in the white sun for that long, she would have been exhausted and her soul would have been scattered.

Even the restrictive stone tablet couldn't hold on any longer.

Thinking of this, she was overjoyed.

It seems that destiny still rests on the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou's empire can be saved!
Old Devil Zhang, it seems I misunderstood you. Wait for me, no, wait for me to revitalize the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will make you my imperial consort, hehe!

Zhou Minghuang spent a whole day envisioning a bright future, but still felt unsatisfied.

Just as she was preparing to make a list of more plans.

The last restriction on the stone tablet vanished without a trace, and then the stone tablet turned into ashes, from which a dazzling rainbow of light flew out.

Fairy flowers fluttered away, and golden lotuses bloomed all over the sky.

Amidst the interweaving of countless golden rays, a golden portal suddenly opened.

"Let's go in!"

Just as the golden gate opened, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance arrived beside the underground river of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

He observed for a long time, muttering to himself:
"I wonder if this powerful treasure can help me break through to the legendary sixth level of the realm?"
