Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 683: Chapter 625: The Six God Rubik’s Cube

After bidding farewell to King Jin, Zhang San returned to his residence.

Although he had been away for a long time, the Zhang Mansion was bustling with life because everyone was there.

Of course, Zhang San knew that the formal decree to confer his marquisate had not yet been issued. Once the Ministry of Rites completed the cumbersome process, his mansion would probably have to be renamed to Marquis Beyond the Law Mansion.

He had heard that Kaihuang was planning to buy some of the neighboring courtyards as well and help him expand his estate.

Even though his current courtyard was already very large and spacious, it was only considered spacious when he lived there with his friends from the Town Martial Office.

When compared to the standards of a Marquis Mansion, it was still lacking.

So if Kaihuang wanted to bestow him with a gift, he would naturally accept it all.

"Zhang San, come here,"

Upon seeing Zhang San finally return, Third Miss Gan knew that he had finished dealing with his affairs outside of the Capital.

At this moment, Hu Xingxiang, seeing Zhang San’s return, immediately called the ghost to help and went to the kitchen to cook together.

Zhang San followed Third Miss Gan to the study, and Sister Ling, Xu, Wei, and others also came over.

Seeing this lineup, Zhang San knew there was an important matter.

"What’s the matter?"

Third Miss Gan handed Zhang San the scroll that White Shadow had sent back earlier.

Zhang San glanced at the information about the Crown Prince hidden in the battle of Longyou Road and was not surprised.

After all, in Zhang San’s view, the current Crown Prince had indeed grown a lot, but when he first arrived in the Capital, the Crown Prince back then was just a waste.

If one were to think back even further, it would not be hard to conclude that the Crown Prince at that time must have been even more worthless.

"This is simple. I’ve just joined forces with King Jin to deal with the Crown Prince. With an ally like King Jin, it will be much easier to deal with the Crown Prince."

The moment they heard these words, everyone present felt as if their brains weren’t sufficient.

Everyone had been worried that if they were to deal with the Crown Prince together, Zhang San might not agree.

But now Zhang San was telling them that he had already secured an ally.

"However, the most important thing is still strength. The reason the Crown Prince previously troubled us is that he felt that by dealing with us, all problems would cease to surface. But if Chief Li Moxian were to find out about this, dare the Crown Prince act?"

Speaking to this point, Zhang San said seriously, "In this world, strength is supreme. Although I have formed an alliance with King Jin, I also know that it’s because we are of use to him, and more importantly, because our current strength is still regarded by King Jin. But in the end, we are not King Jin’s trusted confidantes; we are collaborating now to deal with the Crown Prince, but who can guarantee that one day, when King Jin ascends, he won’t turn against us? After all, we are all a bunch of fellows who disrespect imperial authority. So in this period, everyone should try to enhance their own strength."

Xu deeply agreed and then patted Wei’s shoulder next to him.

Wei was not feeling good at all. Originally, he thought that when Zhang San returned, he might be able to go out and play with Zhang San to avoid being trained by Xu every day.

Now it seems that the training in the future might become even more intense.

Everyone went back to their own activities, and after dinner, not many people came out for idle chat.

It seemed that Zhang San’s announcement about forming an alliance with King Jin had made everyone realize the upcoming storm would only become more fierce.

When Zhang San returned to his room, he also began to sort out his current physical condition and planned for his future cultivation.

The curse of time had been lifted, but a new problem had arisen: he no longer had a heart.

This heart was not the physical one, but during this period, Zhang San had also felt that he seemed to be different from before.

The current him seemed to be much calmer than before.

And beneath this calm, there was a tinge of indifference.

For instance, today’s conversation with everyone was supposed to lead to a pleasant gathering tonight, where we would all drink merrily. Then we could start training hard again tomorrow.

But Zhang San knew that every extra moment spent on cultivation made him a bit stronger.

So, he didn’t even consider having a good drink tonight.

Zhang San estimated that missing a "heart" might really have some negative impact on him.

But neither Pharaoh nor Mozi understood that. Zhang San figured he would have to ask Lv Chunyang next time he saw him.

After all, fourth brother was well-informed; he would surely know what to do about the absence of a heart!

Now there were three Seas of Wheels within his body.

The Enlightenment Seas of Wheels had already reached the realm of Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity and had gone through the first Sea Tribulation. It would not trigger the second Sea Tribulation any time soon.

The Heart Wheel Sea within the Five Viscera Wheel Seas had disappeared, but relying on the great items he had moved over from Shen Wei’s place, he also reached a perfect state in the Qi Filling the Majestic Sea stage. Next, he would enter the Spirit Platform Illusion phase.

In the True Core, Zhang San directly formed five Spirit Platform Illusions that corresponded to his body’s five Divine Treasures.

Last, based on his former Heart Divine Treasure, he condensed the sixth Divine Treasure’s Spirit Platform Illusion.

According to the Six Gods Flower Dew Holy Technique taught by Changsun Bubai, he could turn the six Divine Treasures into six petals and then form one huge flower.

Changsun Bubai’s Spirit Platform Illusion was exactly that, with a giant Divine Treasure palace on each petal.

But Zhang San knew that his Heart Divine Treasure Illusion was not an actual Heart Divine Treasure; it was just a shadow he constructed, which was much weaker compared to the other five Divine Treasure Illusions.

And this weakness, although relative, could become his vulnerability during combat with enemies.

Therefore, the best method was to conceal this weakness.

So, based on the Six Gods Flower Dew Holy Technique, Zhang San altered the positions of his six Spirit Platform Illusions to form a giant cube.

A cube has six faces, each with a Divine Treasure Illusion on it.

Moreover, Zhang San divided each Divine Treasure into nine equal parts. This way, should his Heart Divine Treasure be attacked, he could quickly rotate it, using other Divine Treasures’ positions to replace the eight spots surrounding the central point of the Heart Divine Treasure.

Upon completing the construction of his Spirit Platform Illusions,

a giant Rubik’s cube shadow floated within the True Core of the deep sea.

Next, all Zhang San had to do was to continuously fill this shadow until the Spirit Platform Illusion within the True Core was completely solidified, then he could progress to the next phase — True Core Blossoming.

Even with the abundant cultivation resources currently at his disposal, he could directly fill in this step with resources.

But Zhang San was not in a hurry. After all, if the Five Viscera Wheel Seas also broke through to True Core Blossoming, he could quickly achieve Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity.

By then, if both of his Seas of Wheels entered the Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity phase, Zhang San didn’t know if they would affect each other when undergoing the Sea Tribulation.

So, it was better to play it safe.

After all, his Red Gold Wheel Sea was still in the Qi Filling the Majestic Sea stage, and he could focus on enhancing the Red Gold Wheel Sea during this phase.

The Red Gold Wheel Sea could strengthen one’s Qi and significantly increase the quantity of Qi. Given the various techniques and martial styles he knew now, he naturally required a vast amount of Qi for battle.

However, in cultivating the Red Gold Wheel Sea, Zhang San also had to consider what sort of Spirit Platform Illusion he should construct for it in the future.

It seemed that when he visited the Imperial College later, he would also have to browse through the books to find a suitable method for constructing the Spirit Platform Illusion for his Red Gold Wheel Sea.
