Within the Truth Purification Hall, sword-lights flickered. Countless sword Qis shook the ocean, causing all the creatures in the Inner Realm to feel fear.
Zhang Yan sat on the jade platform. With a thought, sword Qis would revolve around him, and five-colored light waves would revolve around him, shaking the heavens.
Ever since he had refined the True Killing Sword, he had been comprehending the changes in it every day, in addition to cultivating and refining the magic treasures, so that he could increase its power a bit before the calamity came.
The more he studied, the more he felt the changes within the sword were profound. He could not help but sigh. If the Shaoqing disciples obtained such a true sword and used it with their sword-arts, their might would indeed be unstoppable. It was no wonder that they felt that it was enough to have one sword in their hands.
However, the Shaoqing Sect Master, Yue Xuanxiao, had once said that the path of the sword was different for everyone. He had his own techniques and techniques, which were different from the Shaoqing disciples who only had one sword. At the end of the day, this was only one of his many techniques. Even if this true sword was destroyed, it would not affect his cultivation.
At this moment, Jing You's voice sounded from outside, "Master, someone from the Upper Extreme Hall is here. He's asking for an audience."
With a thought from Zhang Yan, the thousands of sword-lights flashed and hid in his acupoints. He said, "Call him in."
Shortly after, a boy came in with a cup in his hands. There was an ancient jade scroll in the room. When he saw Zhang Yan, he presented the scroll with both hands and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Truth Purification Hall Master. The sect master has ordered me to deliver this to you."
Zhang Yan glanced at it and knew what it was. He smiled and said, "Thank the sect master on my behalf."
The boy placed the jade scroll on the table, then bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
Zhang Yan picked up the jade scroll and flipped through it. It recorded the techniques and techniques of the various sects for the past tens of thousands of years. However, more importantly, there were notes left behind by the seniors of the sect, which detailed the methods to break them.
These things were actually recorded in all three Upper Halls, but because the person who recorded them was different, they were different. He had already seen the Truth Purification Hall's scroll. As for the Daylight Hall's scroll, he had asked Huo Xuan for a look. This scroll was held by the Upper Extreme Hall and was personally written by the sect master. In the past, only the sect master could read it. However, in the face of the calamity, everyone's strength would increase, so there was no need to care about such rules.
Because the four sects of Vast Sky, Southern Flower, Jade Sky, and Heaven Mending Sect had clearly drawn a line of demarcation with the Dark Azure Sect, he paid attention to these four sects first.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Jing You entered the hall again and said in a low voice, "Master, Zhenren Wei sent a letter saying that he has captured a disciple of Nan Hua who has cultivated Dharmakaya and has imprisoned him in the Yao Yin Sect."
"Zhang Yan 'eyes flicand. He put down the scroll and asked," South Hua and Taihao Clan? "
Jing You stooped down and replied, "I did not see any movements."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. A third degree cultivator from the Nanhua Clan was kidnapped. This was a matter of reputation, so there would definitely be some action. The quieter they were, the more it meant that they had something up their sleeves. However, unless they attacked the Yaoyin Mountain Gate, the rest would be to reason with him. With Taihao, Yuxiao, and Mending Heaven's disciples involved, these three sects would not stand idly by.
He thought for a while, raised his hand, and formed two letters. He said to Jing You, "Take my letters and go to Anatta Temple and Pingdu Sect. Invite Zhenren Wu and Zhenren Pang to Qincang for a while."
Jing You said yes, took the letters, and left with a bow.
Pingdu Sect, Baiyun Platform, Huizheng Cave.
After Wu Weiyi returned from the Heavenly Palace, he cultivated in seclusion and had not come out since.
Just as he was sitting, he suddenly heard a clear sound coming from the outside. It was coming into the cave, and he frowned.
Before he went into seclusion, he was told not to ring the bell if there was nothing important. He said to the outside, "Quickly go and see why the bell is being rung outside."
A boy outside the door responded and left in a hurry. After a while, a voice said, "Master, I heard that an envoy from Qincang School has come to seek an audience with Zhenren, so the bell was rung."
Wu Weiyi stroked his beard, but did not say whether he wanted to see them or not. After a while, he asked, "Did anything big happen in the continent recently?"
The boy said, "Other than the ceremony of Zhenren Yuling's ascension in half a month, which is the fight between the Nanhua disciples and the Zhao You Heavenly Lake, the rest are trivial matters."
Wu Weiyi heard this and became interested, "Zhao You Heavenly Lake and Nanhua Clan? What about now? "
The boy said, "This time, it was Nanhua Clan that suffered a small loss."
He took out a bamboo scroll from his sleeve and said, "This is a report from a disciple of the lower sect, it's a record of this matter."
Wu Weiyi's gaze shifted, and the bamboo scroll flew over and landed in his hand. After his spiritual sense entered it, he knew everything about the two clans. He couldn't help but think, "Nanhua lost a third stage disciple, they won't let it go. However, going up against the Zhao You Heavenly Lake is equivalent to going up against the Qincang School. With just one clan, they probably don't have enough confidence, so they will most likely seek help from Yuxiao and Taihao clans. Now that Qincang School is looking for me, could it be that they want me to join hands with them to fight against the enemy? If that's the case, should I go or not? "
He couldn't help but hesitate, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind, so he said, "Invite the envoy from Qincang School to the pavilion first."
The boy said, "Disciple obeys."
Wu Weiyi sat down and closed his eyes. His consciousness sank, and after a short while, a ray of spiritual light flew up from the top, heading towards an illusory place.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a deep pagoda that had an unknown height difference.
Counting carefully, there were three hundred and sixty-five shrine seats, and in every seat, there was a statue of a god. They all had different faces, and divine Qi enveloped their bodies. Their eyes were bright, and they leaped around, as if they were alive.
At the top, there was no statue of a god, only three shrines, north, east, and west, and at this moment, he was sitting on the west seat.
This was the Ping Du Sect's most treasured magical treasure, the Hidden Spiritual Pagoda. Every disciple that obtained the sect's true teachings had the right to invite a Dharma spirit to possess them. As their cultivation deepened, their rank would be higher. Just like Wu Weiyi himself, he started from the lowest level, and after countless trials and tribulations, he climbed all the way up.
He said to the shrine seat on the east side, "Is Zhenren Zhao here?"
After asking a few times, there was a flash of golden light on the shrine seat, and suddenly, a Daoist in his forties appeared. He said in a deep voice, "Zhenren Wu, what's the matter?"
Wu Weiyi said, "There's a difficult matter today, the sect leader is in seclusion, so I have to find Zhenren Zhao to discuss it."
Originally, this kind of matter could be decided by the Ping Du Sect leader, but in order to deal with the great calamity, this sect leader was using all his strength to sense the pagoda, hoping to increase his cultivation by another level. Then, the matters outside could only be decided by the two of them.
Zhenren Zhao's expression turned serious, and he said, "Zhenren Wu, please speak."
Wu Weiyi explained the reason and his concerns, "If I agree to the Qincang School this time, if there's a dispute, it will be difficult for me to stay out of it for the time being. However, if I don't agree, it will damage the friendship between our two sects, and it's really difficult for me to make a decision alone."
The founder of the Ping Du Sect was on good terms with the fourth generation sect leader of the Qincang School, and the two generations were connected by marriage. They had been friends for thousands of years. Although there were disagreements between the disciples of the two sects, they would always stand on the same side every time there was a major event.
However, he felt that the Ping Du Sect was closest to the Yuxiao school in the south. Previously in the Heavenly Palace, he had already disrespected them. This time, if he went along with them again, he was afraid that he would have to face the pressure of this sect alone.
It was no wonder that he was so cautious. Although he was a Perfected Heavenly Abode, he knew that the calamity was coming from the spiritual opportunity of heaven and earth and the situation in the continent, but he did not know when it would happen. He could only wait for the calamity to happen passively, afraid that if he made a wrong choice, the sect would be destroyed.
Zhenren Zhao could not help but fall into deep thought. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "I think we should go."
Wu Weiyi said, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Zhenren Zhao said, "Zhenren, you have been to the meeting of the Heavenly Palace. Do you remember that other than the Ping Du Sect, the Huanzhen Temple was also roped in by the Qincang School? If they want to use us this time, they will not only invite us, but also the Huanzhen Temple. If they go and I do not respond, they will definitely distance themselves from me, and it will be disadvantageous for the future calamity."
Wu Weiyi thought for a while and felt that it made sense. If the Ping Du Sect wanted to survive the calamity, they would still have to rely on the Qincang School. In the past, it was only the Ping Du Sect, so they could still control them, but now it was different.
Zhenren Zhao said again, "As for whether Yuxiao will vent his anger on me, I think there is no need to be afraid. The day of Zhenren Yuling's ascension is not far away. After he leaves, in the southwest, only the Huanzhen Temple and I will be the strongest. With our two sects as allies, what can others do to me?"
Just Now, Wu Weiyi had not thought of this. He thought for a while and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. It seems like we have to visit the Huanzhen Temple more often in the future."
Just as the two were discussing, thousands of miles away, Yuan JIngqing stepped into the boundary of the Ping Du Sect. He looked at the mountains and swamps in front of him and said, "I hope I can find the last medicine used to condense the elixir here."
Ever since he came to Dong Hua, he had spent more than twenty years traveling all over the continent. Now, he had gathered the three internal medicines, but among the three external medicines, he had found the Qi Ganoderma. As for the Diling Cave, he knew that it was a good place. However, the Milk of Tomorrow was not easy to gather, so it was mostly in the deep caves. Every time he found it, he would only get one or two drops, and it was not even of high quality. So now, more than half of it was still missing.
However, during these years of traveling, he had also made some friends. Half a month ago, he received a letter from someone saying that there was a Heavenly Cavern with Grains of Sand in the southwest that produced high quality Milk of Stone. So he came all the way here and wanted to explore it.
He found a flat hill and landed. He shook his hand and released a talisman smoke into the sky. Then, he sat down and waited.
After half a day, a beam of light flew over from afar. On it stood a middle-aged cultivator dressed in bright clothes with a silk belt around his waist. He looked down and laughed. He landed and cupped his hands together. "Fellow Daoist Yuan, I Just now had something to do, so I came late. Please forgive me."
Yuan JIngqing got up and returned the bow. "Fellow Daoist Wang, you're too polite. I came abruptly."
Cultivator Wang said, "You're too kind. I won't hide it from you. The Heavenly Cavern with Grains of Sand that I mentioned was occupied by a few cultivators a few days ago. Their magic power is not weak. I was thinking of finding a few more fellow Daoists to go there. Fellow Daoist, you came at the right time."
Yuan JIngqing nodded slightly. He didn't say anything more and asked directly, "Then when do we leave?"
Cultivator Wang was startled. Then, he smiled and said, "So Fellow Daoist is anxious. Alright, I'll take you to meet a few other Daoists. If they don't have any objections, then we can leave in three days at most."
Yuan JIngqing agreed. He hadn't returned to his sect yet, so his identity as a Qincang School disciple wasn't useful yet. Moreover, this was his sect's territory. If he wanted to do things more conveniently, it would be useful to get to know a few more people.
The two of them got on a beam of light and flew southeast. After walking for half a day, they landed in a city that occupied a large area.
Cultivator Wang called out from outside. Not long after, several people came out to greet them. The one in front was wearing the uniform of Pingdu Sect.
Cultivator Wang transmitted his voice to Yuan JIngqing. "This person is a disciple of Pingdu Sect. His surname is You and his name is Bojing. As long as he can gather the external medicine and condense the core, he will have a chance to invite a dharma spirit to possess him. We mostly rely on this person to travel around here. However, this Fellow Daoist loves to listen to flattery, so we can't offend him later."
After saying that, he walked up and chatted with You Qing for a while. Then, he introduced Yuan JIngqing to everyone.
After exchanging some polite greetings, Yuan JIngqing followed everyone into the city.
Then, he found an opportunity to ask Cultivator Wang in private, "Since Fellow Daoist You is a disciple of Pingdu, why did you go out to look for Clear Stone Milk?"
Cultivator Wang replied, "Fellow Daoist You's master was killed by a cultivator of the Devil Sect. He had many fellow disciples and didn't receive many benefits, so he had to find the external medicine himself. Fellow Daoist, don't worry, there are plenty of Clear Stone Milk in the Heavenly Sand Cave. You won't be missing out on your share."
Yuan JIngqing nodded. Just Now, when he saw You Bojing, he felt that there was something strange about this person, so he secretly paid attention to him.
Over the next two days, a few more people came to this place. Every day, You Bojing would hold a banquet to entertain them. Sometimes, he would even generously give out medicinal pills, which made him quite popular.
On the fifth day, it was finally time to set off. Yuan JIngqing and the others rode on a beam of light and headed toward the Heavenly Sand Cave.
After walking for a few hours, they saw a huge pit below them. The stone walls were covered with vines. On the west side, there was a cave that was about six zhang high. Crimson smoke billowed out from it. At the top of the cave, there was a river that flowed with a waterfall. The water that flowed down was all poured into the cave, and there was no sign of overflowing. It was obvious that the cave was incomparably deep.
You Bojing pointed down and said, "This is the Heavenly Sand Cave. My senior brother found the Clear Stone Milk here, but the last time I came here, this place was occupied by a few rude and unreasonable cultivators. They insisted that this was their home, so I had to leave when I was alone."
Cultivator Wang said, "Fellow Daoist You, with so many of us here, do we still need to be afraid of these two? If they don't know what's good for them, we'll just kick them out. "
You Bojing laughed and said, "I was just about to rely on everyone. Once I find the Clear Stone Milk, I'll definitely need everyone's help."
After he said this, everyone loudly agreed. You Bojing waved his hand, and everyone followed him inside. Only Yuan JIngqing deliberately stayed a step behind.
At this moment, there were two beautiful female cultivators sitting in the depths of the cave. Each of them held two translucent eggs in their arms, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a child sleeping while hugging his knees.
One of the female cultivators suddenly raised her head and said with joy, "Senior sister, that You Bojing has lured a blood meal here again."
The other female cultivator made a hand seal and sensed for a moment, then said with satisfaction, "This person did a good job. Once we devour the souls of these ten or so people, we'll be able to improve our cultivation. When that time comes, we can go to the spirit cave to cultivate."
