A month later, Huo Xuan returned to Qincang School from Dong Sheng. On the same day, he was summoned by the Headmaster to the Upper Extreme Hall for a discussion, but no one knew what was said.
The next day, Sect Leader Qin summoned all the Enlightened Masters of the Heavenly Abode to the palace. He first talked about Huo Xuan's contribution in going to Dongsheng to slay the demons, and then made it clear that he would take over the position of Main Hall Master of the Daylight Hall.
Huo Xuan had rendered such a great service and was the master of the side hall, so inheriting this position was a matter of course. Everyone had no objections, and after the ceremony, everyone dispersed.
After Zhang Yan left the hall, he looked at the sea of clouds outside. In the past few days, he had been cultivating in the cave and refining treasures. He thought that since it was rare for him to come out, he might as well go to the Fang Chen Courtyard to see how far the broken pillar had been refined.
He boarded the Dragon Chariot and descended from the Floating Heavenly Palace.
Not long after, they arrived at Fang Chen's courtyard. Monastery head Xu Yingtong received a disciple's report and hurriedly came out to welcome him, respectfully welcoming him in.
Before the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron, Zhang Yan went to the high platform and looked down.
At this moment, the original appearance of the broken pillar could no longer be seen. The palaces on it were scattered, and the palaces were continuous. Green mountains and beautiful trees dotted the place. Outside, the clouds and mist lingered, and it looked like a divine palace.
Xu Yingtong pointed and said, "Hall Master, please take a look. The immortal pavilions on this pillar were personally built by me. Moreover, I've refined all sorts of prohibitions, so there's no Mountain Lock Formation. As long as the spiritual opportunity is not exhausted, it can also resist the strong poisonous Qi from the outer space. "
After Zhang Yan examined the exterior of the temple, he opened his Dharma Eye and looked inside.
The inside of the pillar had been hollowed out a long time ago, and there was a secret pavilion built inside. In the deepest part, there was a stone egg that flickered between light and darkness. It was connected to many spiritual veins, like blood vessels and meridians, leading to all directions.
This stone egg was the "Heaven and Earth Fetus", which he had obtained from the Dragon Palace. It could respond to the secrets of the earth and the heavens. Borrowing Qi to nourish Qi, and putting the broken pillar into it to refine this strange treasure, even if it went beyond the heavens. As long as they were not too far away from the Nine Continents, cultivators could also cultivate there. No less than a continent on the ground.
However, it was not an easy task to link the Qi Formation and connect the streams everywhere. It was obvious that Xu Yingtong had put in a lot of effort. He couldn't help but nod and say, "Headmaster Xu is considerate."
Hearing his praise, Xu Yingtong couldn't help smiling from ear to ear. He repeatedly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. How would I dare to claim credit for this? If not for the Palace Master bringing the Heaven and Earth Fetus, I would not have been able to do so. This broken pillar has been nourished by spiritual opportunity. It's useless no matter how many palace prohibitions I've built. "As he said this, he bowed deeply." If Hall Master can give Fang Chen Courtyard some more time, I'll definitely be able to build this thing to perfection. "
Zhang Yan wasn't in a hurry to throw the broken pillar out into the sky, so he didn't mind. After saying a few words of praise, he left on the flood dragon under everyone's respectful farewell.
After returning to the Truth Crossing Point, he did not cultivate. Instead, he went to the pill room and sat on the jade platform. He waved his sleeves and opened the furnace. The smoke from the furnace emitted a mirage light. In the flash, there seemed to be all sorts of people appearing. It was a charming scene.
He gently guided his mana. Immediately, a crystal the size of a pigeon's egg flew out from the furnace. It carried a pure flowing light with traces of stars on it. It landed on the table in front of him.
This was the Spiritual Seed that he had borrowed from Yan Changsheng's grotto-heaven. It was supplemented with various treasures. The artifact that was refined was called the "Identification Stone". When used in a fight, as long as one was skilled in controlling it. One could calculate the movement of the opponent's Qi.
However, to make it a true artifact, even if he was a Daoist Grotto-Heaven, it would be hard to do without a long period of refinement. That was why this treasure was only a Xuan Artifact. With his mana, when he used it, it could only control a few hundred miles around him.
When people fought in a Daoist Grotto-Heaven, they could easily cross thousands of miles. The power of their mana and divine arts was not something a normal person could imagine. Not to mention that a normal talisman couldn't handle it, even if it was taken out, under the turbulence of mana, it would be destroyed in a few breaths. From this point alone, this treasure seemed to be useless.
However, he didn't think so.
As long as the Identification Stone's Spiritual Seed wasn't bad, it was easy to refine it. If he made a hundred of them and scattered them, it would be enough to make up for this flaw.
When cultivators fought, the slightest difference could decide the outcome. Even if it was worn out in one move, it would be worth it if there was a chance to win.
However, he didn't need to do this himself. He could just ask the people in the palace to do it for him.
Thinking up to this point, he immediately ordered someone to find Shen Nu. With a light tap of his finger, he passed a talisman down and said, "The method to forge this treasure is inside. Take it and read it carefully to see if you can forge it."
Shen Nu carefully walked forward and held the talisman that was half the size of her body in front of her. After looking at it for a long time, she bowed and said, "Master, this isn't difficult. The Hall of Refining Treasures has it. It's just that the furnace fire is hard to find. Can Master lend me a few ink-black flood dragons to use?"
Zhang Yan said, "That is easy. I will allocate twenty flood dragons for you to use. Is that enough?"
Shen Nu calculated in her heart and said happily, "Master, it is enough."
Zhang Yan smiled. He knew that this ink-black flood dragon was still useful to her. However, he didn't need to think about it. He just needed to refine the treasure. He raised his sleeves and dismissed them. He turned the formation door and returned to the main hall to cultivate.
Another half a month passed. A boy came and said that the Upper Extreme Hall's side hall master, Qi Yuntian, had invited him to discuss some matters.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and stopped his cultivation. He flew to the Upper Extreme Hall like a ray of light. When he reached the boundary, he saw Qi Yuntian standing in front of the stairs to welcome him. Huo Xuan was beside him. He knew that something must have happened, so he descended.
Both parties greeted each other. When they reached the inner hall, they chatted for a while before returning to their seats.
Qi Yuntian said, "Today, I've invited both of you here for two things. First, both halls have their own masters, so we can refine the formations of the three halls and set the rules. Do you have any objections?"
There was a talisman in each of the three halls. They were all left by the Great Underworld Master. When the three talismans merged into one, they could set up an extremely powerful nameless formation. However, this could only be done with the cooperation of the hall masters of the Upper Extreme Hall, the True Purification Hall, and the Daylight Hall.
Zhang Yan said, "A few hundred years later, there will be a great calamity. In order to protect the sect, we must do this. When senior brother is free, let us know and we will come to refine the formation."
Huo Xuan knew that this must be the intention of the sect master. He agreed without hesitation and asked, "What is the second matter?"
Qi Yuntian said, "I am under the order of the sect master to temporarily take charge of the sect's affairs. The most important thing is how to deal with the Human Calamity. This is not something I can handle alone. Do you have any suggestions?"
Huo Xuan was silent for a while and said, "I have something to discuss here."
Qi Yuntian said seriously, "Junior brother Huo, please speak."
Huo Xuan said, "I think that although the sect master said that I will be the one to initiate the calamity, the person who will do it might not necessarily be me."
Qi Yuntian nodded slightly and understood what he meant.
Although the sect master said that he could initiate the Human Calamity, it would be done by the Qincang School. It might seem like he was coercing them. However, if it was not done by the people from the Qincang School, even if they knew the truth, there would be a layer of separation between them. It would save them some face and reduce their resistance. It was very likely that they would be able to rope in a few more allies. The East Flower Continent was only so big. One more friend meant one less enemy.
He looked over and said, "Since junior brother Huo said this, does it mean that you have a candidate in mind?"
It was not easy to move the roots. Even with his current mana, he could not do it. However, with the help of the talisman, it was not difficult to solve the problem. It was just that if he did this, he would definitely offend all the cultivators in the world. If it was not the people from the Qincang School, who would dare to bear the responsibility?
Huo Xuan said, "I will go back to Dongsheng to get rid of the demons. I think there are two people who are very suitable."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Senior brother Huo, are you talking about Ji Xiangping and Gan Shouting?"
Huo Xuan said, "It's these two. Because there are no spirit caves in the Dong Sheng Continent, it's difficult for the two of them to cultivate. From their words, they seem to have the intention of establishing ties with our sect. We can take this opportunity to invite the two of them to our Dark Azure Sect as guests, and then try to persuade them to agree to this matter."
Qi Yuntian said, "Do these two people have any background?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "These two people have no contact with our Dong Hua Mystic Sect. Senior brother Huo's plan is feasible. If they agree, we can bring them to the other world."
Qi Yuntian immediately made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother Huo, after you go back, you can invite them to our sect."
He did not think too much about what the two people wanted. Once they arrived at Qincang School, it was not up to him to wait.
Huo Xuan nodded and agreed.
Qi Yuntian turned to Zhang Yan and asked, "Junior brother Zhang, do you have anything to teach me?"
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "Senior brother, you are too serious. I think, before the Human Tribulation, there is one thing that must be done."
Qi Yuntian straightened his body slightly and said, "Junior brother, please speak."
Zhang Yan said, "Among the three major sects of the Mystic Sect, Shaoqing and I have long formed an alliance to face the great tribulation together. Before this, the biggest enemy of our Qincang School is Yuxiao. I do not count him, and he does not count me. Therefore, we cannot let it be stable. Therefore, I have a son in the South Sea, but the flower has not bloomed yet."
He explained in detail how he ordered Li Xiumi to set up a sect on the South Sea and said, "Back then, Yuxiao's grandmaster, Zhenren Yao Han, was omnipotent and could suppress the land of four continents. Master Ling Ya did not have such ability. When the war started, he could at most suppress the Donghua Continent. But in this way, the South Cliff Continent would no longer have any scruples. This continent is the core of Yuxiao school, where spiritual opportunities are hidden. When the time comes, there will be someone behind to hold them back, and it will be difficult for them to use their full strength."
Qi Yuntian and Huo Xuan listened and immediately identified the benefits.
Supporting such a person, there was no need for him to fight with Yuxiao. As long as he put on a posture of constantly threatening the South Cliff Continent, when the great tribulation started, with him here, it would be enough to divide a part of the power of Yuxiao school.
Qi Yuntian praised, "So junior brother has a plan. This is a good plan, but we cannot let junior brother Zhang do it alone. The elixirs and elixirs needed can be provided by the sect, and we can try to help him succeed. We can also set up a big formation to prevent Yuxiao from attacking."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Senior brother's concern is right, I can handle this matter."
If Li Xiumi really became a cave with the help of Qincang School, although Yuxiao might not make a move now, when the tribulation came, the first thing they would think of would be to get rid of this threat from behind.
Then it was necessary to set up a big formation for this sect. If the mountain gate big formation was guarded by a Deity of Dongtian, it would be enough to last for a long time. When the tribulation started, it could not only share a part of the burden for Qincang School, but also take this opportunity to deplete the mana of the Deities of Yuxiao.
