After Zhang Yan returned to the cave residence, he placed the Qiankun Leaf on the compass to absorb the spiritual vigor here. He nourished it every day, hoping to transform it into a true spirit one day. *
On this day, as he was repeatedly using spiritual energy to wash this magic treasure, a talisman flew in from outside the hall. Jing You took it, looked at it, and whispered, "It's Fang Chen Courtyard's Manager Yue Chongyang. He came out of seclusion and said he's here to see Master."
Zhang Yan recalled that when he went to the Fang Chen Courtyard to refine the remnant of the Outer Sky Pillar, Yue Chongyang was still in seclusion, so he didn't get to see him. Yue Chongyang once said that after he came out of seclusion, he could come to the Du Zhen Palace to cultivate.
He said, "Tell Zhenren Yue to wait in the outer hall."
Jing You accepted the order and left.
Two hours later, Zhang Yan retracted his magic power. With a thought, he went from the formation door to the outer hall.
Yue Chongyang waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait. Seeing him, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Hall Master Du Zhen."
Zhang Yan raised his hand and said, "Zhenren Yue, you may dispense with the formalities."
Yue Chongyang straightened up and sighed, "This time I came out of seclusion, I found out that Zhenren came to Fang Chen Courtyard last time, but I missed it. Hearing that Hall Master allowed me to cultivate in Du Zhen Hall, I felt that there was room for improvement, so I took the liberty to come here."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Zhenren Yue. I can only cultivate with the elders outside the hall."
Du Zhen Hall was in the Xuanze Sea Realm. Elders who weren't from the top ten disciples couldn't enter without a summon. Even when Zhang Zhen came last time, Zhang Yan only met her outside the hall.
Yue Chongyang also knew the rules here and said he didn't dare.
Zhang Yan said, "Since Zhenren Yue came from Fang Chen Courtyard, do you know how the Outer Sky Pillar is?"
A few years ago, he went to Fang Chen Courtyard's Earthly Fire Heavenly Furnace to take a look, but at that time, Hall Master Xu Yingtong suggested to build a few more temples and add a few more layers of restrictions. In this way, even the junior disciples would be able to go beyond the heavens.
Zhang Yan thought about the Human Tribulation. There was no safe place in the Nine Continents. If the broken pillar was refined like this, it would be able to send his disciples to the Nine Continents in times of danger.
Actually, he could also go to the Upper Extreme Hall. In the void, he was also restricted by the Great Underworld Ancestral Master. It was the best place to hide from the calamity. However, it was the sect leader's place after all. It wasn't a place for junior disciples to go.
According to Xu Yingtong's intentions, it would only take a few years before he agreed. However, in the past few years, he had been busy cultivating and nurturing his magic treasures, so he hadn't gone over to take a look.
Because Yue Chongyang did not have an official position, he did not have much scruples when speaking and laughed lightly. He said, "Although Headmaster Xu is a bit worldly, his attainments in formations are indeed not bad. When I came out, he was still adding restrictions to the broken pillar. Even though it looks very magnificent now, it's not like I couldn't tell when he stopped. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that he was using it to travel through the void."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "That's good too. I'm not in a hurry to use it. I want to see how Elder Xu can build that broken pillar in the end. "
The two talked for a while. Yue Chongyang knew that Zhang Yan coming out to see him was already giving him a lot of face. He had to be tactful, so he said to take his leave.
Zhang Yan did not urge him to stay. He ordered Jing You to send him down to settle down while he returned to the palace to cultivate.
Outside the Ten Peaks Mountain. A flying carriage stopped and Xiao Suo got off. After being notified, Chen Feng personally came out and invited him into the study. After the host and guest were seated, he said, "Senior Brother Xiao came at the right time. Recently, I have something to ask Senior Brother."
Xiao Suo said with a smile, "Every time I come here, Junior Brother must have something to ask, but you never come to visit me. You are not sincere."
Chen Feng said apologetically, "It's Junior Brother's negligence. I apologize to Senior Brother."
He stood up and was about to bow. Xiao Chuo also stood up and stopped him. He said seriously, "It's just a joke. Junior Brother doesn't need to be so serious. It won't be good if outsiders see it. Besides, with your contributions this time, it won't be hard for you to take the position of Side Hall Master after you pass away. At that time, I will have to rely on you to look after me. "
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Junior Brother is worried about this."
Xiao Chuo said, "Oh, why is that?"
Chen Feng sighed and said, "In this battle, although Junior Brother blocked the Blood Soul Sect in the North, the result has not been decided. If we really compare my contributions, it doesn't seem that big."
Although the battle for the Devil's Cave had ended, the two sects had not really decided a winner. Because of this, he was a bit embarrassed.
With this contribution, he should be able to take the position of Side Hall Master of Daylight Hall. But the Devil's Cave had not been settled. If he said it, it would be easy to be criticized.
When he first entered the path, he did things according to his preferences. But after he took the position, he was careful with his words and actions. He knew that if he didn't have the right name, he wouldn't be able to speak.
If Chen Taiping was still here, he wouldn't have to worry about this. But the Chen Clan had no one to lead it. This made him very uneasy. Originally, when the matter of the Devil's Cave was over, he should have given up his position and gone to Daylight Hall to cultivate. But because he was afraid that he would lose his position as Side Hall Master, he didn't move. He wanted to use his position as First Seat to do something.
Xiao Chuo stroked his beard and said, "Junior Brother's worry is not without reason. Oh …" He thought for a moment and said, "With the current situation, I have three plans. But I am the one who speaks, and you are the one who listens."
Chen Feng cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me."
Xiao Chuo said, "The first is to find a way to stir up a conflict between the two clans. This is not difficult. In the North Continent, the Blood Soul Sect is still surrounded by our altar. As long as we don't take it back, they will jump out sooner or later. At that time, we can kill a few elders and suppress them. Isn't that Junior Brother's contribution?"
Chen Feng thought for a moment and felt that it was not appropriate. After the previous clashes, both the Mystic and Demon clans had lost many disciples. They needed to recruit new blood and train the younger generation. This was especially true for the small sects. Even if he wanted to, he might not be able to use righteousness to move them like he did in the past. Instead, it would easily cause complaints and ruin the reputation that his clan had worked so hard to build.
"What about the second plan?"
Xiao Chuo said, "The second plan is much easier. Because our two clans have stopped fighting, the Donghua Continent has regained some liveliness. However, there are still many demons in the mortal world. Many mountain spirits and wood monsters are still entrenched in the mountains. Junior Brother, you can send some junior disciples to such places. They can gain experience and eliminate demons at the same time. This will help your reputation."
Chen Feng nodded his head. The second plan is feasible. However, although this can be considered as a benevolent act, allowing some of the junior disciples to benefit from it. In the long run, it will be beneficial to the sect's reputation. At present, however, it cannot be considered as a meritorious deed. The elders above will not even give it a second glance. "
So he asked, "What is the third plan?"
Xiao Suo chuckled and said meaningfully, "As for the third plan, Junior Brother, you can visit Senior Brother Huo in the next few days."
Chen Feng was a little puzzled and said, "Senior Brother Huo has been in isolation for a long time and has long ignored the outside world …" At this point, his expression suddenly turned serious and he said, "Could it be …"
Xiao Suo smiled and said in a low voice, "In the side hall, there have been continuous spiritual lights coming out from the top, passing through the sky, day and night. Recently, the spiritual vigor in the hall has become stronger and stronger, and it is gathering in one place. The fire in the mountain in the boundary is surging, and it is turbulent. Junior Brother, did you think of something?"
Chen Feng took a deep breath and nodded. He stood up and bowed solemnly. He said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. Otherwise, I would have missed it."
There was no Master Dongtian in the Chen Clan. Although there were elders cultivating in the hall, they were only in the outer hall. Naturally, they did not know what was going on inside. If Xiao Suo did not tell him, he would still be in the dark.
Xiao Suo smiled and said, "Junior Brother and Senior Brother Huo used to be good friends. Even if I did not tell you, you would know sooner or later."
Chen Feng shook his head and said in an extremely serious tone, "I will definitely remember Senior Brother's favor!"
At the same time, in the southwest of Dong Hua, in the depths of a small spirit cave, Sima Quan sat on a cold and hard ice rock. In his hand, there was a ball of filthy thing that he could not identify. It was constantly twisting as if something was struggling to get out.
He touched it with his hand, and after a moment, it finally calmed down. His expression was a little regretful as he muttered, "It's still a little lacking."
In the past, he had captured many cultivators' souls from the sea. Other than the ones that he absorbed, the rest were used to forge this talisman.
After a few years of effort, he had reached the last step.
But now, he encountered a problem. The reason was that although there were many souls, most of them came from Core Formation and Mystic Light Realm cultivators. Therefore, it was not strong enough. If he wanted to succeed, he would need at least dozens of Yuanying cultivators' souls.
However, Yuanying cultivators were not like those normal disciples. They were in the middle of a sect. Small sects would at most have one or two of them. As for big sects, even if the talisman was forged, he would not dare to provoke them.
But if this talisman was not forged, the spiritual opportunity would not last for long and would dissipate in the end. It would be a pity.
Should he go out and kill cultivators or give up? At this moment, he could not decide.
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead and came to a sudden realization. "I'm confused. I'm not looking for a place like a Spirit Cave to live in. If I'm only looking for souls, then I can really go to the other continents."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Although the Nine Continents of No Return were big, there were only two places that were the most suitable. One was the North Dark Continent. There were many beast cultivators there, and most of them cultivated the Strength Path. It was very convenient for him to make a move.
The only concern was that it was too close to the Qincang School. There were also beast cultivators that were appointed by the Qincang School. If he killed too many, it would be easy for him to expose his tracks.
As for the other place, it was the Dong Sheng Continent.
He heard that there were many cultivators there. There must be people from the Heavenly Grotto-Heaven there, or else it would have been occupied long ago. However, this continent was very big, and it did not have a sect like the Dong Hua Continent. The key was that he did not know his background. As long as he was careful, it would not be so easy to control him.
Also, there was a vast ocean between this continent and the Dong Hua Continent. It would be fine even if he caused a big commotion. If he really could not handle it, he could just leave.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to go to the Dong Sheng Continent. But because he had never been there, he had no way of knowing what the situation was like. He could only make a detailed plan when he got there.
