The Situation Changes Once Again.
Zhang Yan took a few glances and discovered that this line of words was written in etchings. There were at least three to five hundred words densely packed together. Apart from that, there were also quite a few notes on the side that could be read. (
Hand, beat. Bar Update Super Fast)
It was just that the entire technique was arranged vertically and horizontally, making it look very messy. Only after carefully looking at it a few times did he find its origins.
This technique was called the True Calming Carefree Technique, and it was a technique that focused on hiding and escaping.
The protective clear light that the eel demon Huang Peng had used earlier was also recorded in this technique.
This technique could even block the Divine Ruyi Shuttle and the Stellar Sword Orb. Zhang Yan couldn't help but read on out of curiosity.
After a cursory glance, he couldn't help but sigh. This Huang Peng's foundation was still shallow after all. He had only read the words in the notes, so he didn't understand half of it and couldn't understand the true profoundness within. If he had really cultivated this technique, he might not have been able to do anything to him today.
However, when he continued to read on, he frowned. This was because this technique was not complete. It was obvious that there were still some areas that were lacking, and it wasn't just here. The most crucial areas were also the same.
In this way, the originally brilliant technique had suddenly dropped by quite a few levels, which inevitably made people feel regretful.
After roughly reading through it, Zhang Yan once again pondered over the gold-leaf-like item in his hand. Looking at its shape and color, in his memory, there seemed to be a book that had mentioned something similar. After thinking about it with rapt attention, a thought flashed through his mind, and he thought to himself, 'Could this be the German Iron Plaque?'
The German Script Iron Plaque wasn't a powerful magic treasure. Instead, it was refined by a cultivator called Shentu Guo in his free time over a thousand years ago. This item didn't have much power, but it could make a copy of any text or picture in a book within a radius of half a foot.
Whether it was true or not, he would know after trying it out.
Zhang Yan casually took out a pen and paper, and wrote two words on it. Then, he used the item to shine it, and he saw two words appear on the surface that was as smooth as a mirror before long.
He chuckled and put the item away along with the pen and paper.
He raised his head and looked at the cave. This Huang Peng had this thing in her hand. He wondered if she had accidentally barged into some immortal abode. Maybe there was something left behind. Thinking of this, he walked inside.
When he broke into the cave, he found that it was a stone room about 30 feet in size. The layout was rough and simple. Except for a jade bed and a few clay pots, there was nothing else. However, it was quite clean, and there was no smell or dirt.
After taking a stroll, he found a hidden side door on the southeast wall. It was hard to notice if he did not look carefully.
He smiled and pushed the door open. However, as soon as he entered, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
There was a lush green vine growing at the center of this stone room. Its appearance was coiled and twisted, and it was vigorous like a crouching dragon with its back arched up, giving it an extraordinary aura.
What was even more strange was that this green vine was covered with characters that were as fine as ants. Zhang Yan moved closer to take a closer look and couldn't help but reveal a look of joy. The source text of the "Dingzhen Xiaoyao Scripture" came from here.
Of course, this was not deliberately engraved on the green vine by someone who had nothing better to do. The entire incantation was inserted into the seed of this green vine by an unknown person with great magical power. As the green vine gradually grew, after a certain number of years, dense characters appeared on the branches.
This kind of scene was quite strange. It was also the first time he saw it, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
No wonder the sentence patterns in the German iron plaque were disordered. It turned out that as the vine grew, the order gradually rose in a spiral, and this Huang Peng didn't know how to sort it out, so it appeared unusually messy.
Since the main text was here, this time Zhang Yan paid attention to it. However, as the green vine reached the top, the content stopped here.
At the end, there was a glistening red, heavy, and plump fruit. It looked like the melon was about to ripen and fall.
Zhang Yan pondered in his heart. This kind of method was like the method of Taihao School, one of the Ten Great Mysterious Sects. He heard that Taihao School had a Green Emperor Divine Tree. When passing down the method, they would let the true disciples go up the divine tree to pluck the seed, and then use the method of the school to guide them to plant a tree. When the tree fruit ripened and fell to the ground, they could find the incantation from within.
It was said that every disciple received a different method. Although the strength of the method was different, it was the most suitable for their own cultivation. The other nine sects of the Mysterious Sects couldn't compare in this aspect.
Originally, that Eel Demon Huang Peng was waiting here because this fruit was about to ripen. He wanted to take the last incantation and leave. He didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Yan would come to kill him, and in the end, he died.
Zhang Yan thought to himself. This method was very profound, and he couldn't let others benefit from it. However, he still needed to go to another island and couldn't wait here for long.
After thinking for a while, he walked out of the cave and took out a set of formation flags from his sleeve. Then, he took out a jade strip and looked at the method to set up the formation. After that, he got up and flew to the east, south, west, and north of the island. After that, he set up the formation flags and opened the restriction.
This way, aside from those who knew the incantation to open the formation, no one would be able to enter this place. Furthermore, it was impossible for the disciples of Qincang School to come here at this time. After he killed all the demonic cultivators on Maan Island, the fruit should be about to ripen.
Seeing that everything was set up properly, Xiao Chen didn't delay any longer. He called Ao Tong out and stepped on Ao Tong's back. Then, he pulled on the rope and headed for another demonic island.
Maan Island was not far from Rest Island. After flying for about an hour, Xiao Chen could see it in the distance.
Just at this time, a beam of light flew up from the island. However, the color was not pure, and it was filled with a demonic aura. Seeing Zhang Yan coming over on a flood dragon, the owner of that beam of light seemed to be startled. After a pause, he actually turned around and fled.
That demonic cultivator was not slow. If Zhang Yan chased after him now, he wouldn't need much time. However, he was worried about the Green Vine Scarlet Pike. Since the other party was willing to let him pass, he didn't have the mood to chase after him. When he arrived above Maan Island, he circled in four directions, threw down the formation flags, and left.
After Zhang Yan left, that beam of demonic light shrunk back.
The light withdrew, revealing a half-foot-tall old man with white hair and eyebrows. When he saw the restriction formation flags laid on the island he cultivated on, he couldn't help but feel bitter. He thought to himself, 'This person came from the direction of Rest Island. It looks like Fellow Daoist Huang is done for. Now that Qincang School is surrounding my Jade Blood Pool's demonic cultivator, I can't afford to offend them. Why don't I find another place to cultivate? It's better than wasting my hundreds of years of effort.'
After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeves, and a beam of profound light wrapped around him. Then, he headed southeast.
When Zhang Yan returned to Flickering Breath Island once more, it took him another two hours to go back and forth.
Originally, he had come out at the Zi Hour. Now, it was the middle of the Yin Hour, and the sky was slightly brighter.
Xiao Chen descended from Ao Tong's back and took out a jade strip. Then, he chanted the incantation and opened the restriction. He walked into the cave, but when he raised his head, the scene before him startled him.
The green vine had already withered and turned gray. It was miserable, no longer as majestic as it was before. Furthermore, there was a ripe fruit on the ground.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "You came at the right time. One loss, one gain. Indeed, everything is predestined."
If he had gone to chase after the fleeing demonic cultivator, he would have returned later. At that time, the seed might have taken root and sprouted. If that happened, who knew how many years he would have to wait to obtain the incantation again?
Xiao Chen raised his hand, and the fruit flew into his hand. Then, he carefully separated the flesh, revealing the core. With a glance, he saw that there were many small, densely packed characters on the core. He knew that it was the most crucial part of the incantation. He could not help but rejoice. With a flick of his wrist, he put the fruit into his sleeve.
Since he had obtained the incantation, there was no need for him to stay here any longer. He strode out of the cave, waved his hand, and put Ao Tong back. Then, he lifted the escape light and returned to Bamboo Island.
It was not until early morning that Zhang Yan returned to Bamboo Island. However, at this moment, he felt that the atmosphere was very different from when he left. Looking down from the sky, he saw that there were actually two Flying Spiritual Palaces on the island. He did not know which Core Formation cultivator from the sect had come.
He looked at the cloud and identified Fan Changqing's flying palace. Then, he descended and walked in.
When he entered the main hall, he saw that Ning Chongxuan was not in the main seat. There was only a middle-aged cultivator with a black beard that reached his chest sitting there with his eyes closed. The rest of the people were also nowhere to be seen. It seemed that he was the first one to return.
Sensing that Zhang Yan had come in, the middle-aged cultivator's eyes opened slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "Which one are you?"
Zhang Yan did not know who he was, but looking at this person's imposing manner and surging magic power, he knew at a glance that he was a Core Formation cultivator. So, he replied, "Disciple Zhang Yan."
"Hmm? You are the true disciple that Martial Nephew Qi came out of the devil's cave? "
Unexpectedly, after hearing his name, this middle-aged cultivator opened his eyes at once. His face darkened and he said, "Cultivation should be done step by step and build a solid foundation. How can you take these crooked paths? If it wasn't for the sect caring about you, how could you be where you are today? You must remember, in cultivation, you must avoid shortsightedness and impatience. Don't bite off more than you can chew. You can leave first. I have other arrangements for tomorrow. "
After saying that, he did not wait for Zhang Yan to speak and waved his hand to drive him out.
After Zhang Yan walked out of the flying palace, he felt a little puzzled. He did not know who this person was and why he suddenly reprimanded him.
At this moment, he saw a figure. When he looked up, he saw Fan Changqing standing not far away and waving at him. He immediately took a few steps forward and walked up to him.
When he came close, Fan Changqing smiled at him and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, were you also reprimanded by Martial Uncle Ge? Don't worry, this is his temper. He did not come for you. "
"Martial Uncle Ge?"
Zhang Yan's mind turned and he remembered this person. This person was a disciple of an elder in the Du Zhen Palace. He had cultivated for nearly three hundred years and was of the same generation as the few Spiritual Masters. He was usually old-fashioned and strict. He always talked about rules and principles. His way of doing things was similar to Zhuang Bu Fan.
But he still asked, "If Martial Uncle Ge is here, then where is Senior Martial Brother Ning?"
Fan Changqing sighed slightly and said in a low voice, "The sect arranged for Senior Martial Brother Ning to go back. They said that he had another important task, so they sent Martial Uncle Ge to replace him. I don't know what happened."
