Zhang Yan had fought Just Now. Although he had lost some mana, with his current foundation, it would not be a problem for him to fight again. However, he did not reply to Mu Shoushan immediately. Instead, he asked, "Can you talk to that person?"
Mu Shoushan was stunned and smiled. "There's no need to talk. If he wants to know, he will know. However, I have an agreement with him that we will handle our own matters and not interfere with each other. N ∈, "
Zhang Yan smiled. "Then, I still have to ask. Zhenren Mu, are you willing to let go of your past thoughts?"
Mu Shoushan scoffed. He lowered his head as if he was listening to something. After a while, he shook his head. "He is still stubborn." He looked up. "From what I see, if Hall Master Du Zhen can win against the two of us, we might be able to convince him to let go of his past thoughts."
Zhang Yan said, "Of course I would like to experience it, but not today."
Mu Shoushan nodded. "Just Now Hall Master Du Zhen fought with him and used up a lot of his mana. It would not be fair for you to fight again.
Zhang Yan shook his head. "That's not the case."
He made up his mind. Along with a cry, a sword light leaped out from his back. It was brilliant and overflowing with clear energy. It circled around his body and gave birth to strands of clear and shocking rainbows.
Mu Shoushan's expression changed. He stared at the sword gleam and said with a solemn expression, "Killing Sword?"
Zhang Yan looked over and said, "Zhenren Mu has been imprisoned for so many years and does not even have a suitable Enchanted Artifact. I think it would be an unfair fight against the two of you."
Mu Shoushan thought about it and sighed. He nodded and admitted, "Hall Master Du Zhen is right. You have a Killing True Artifact. If I don't have a Enchanted Artifact to defend, I can only avoid it. However, you can use your sword to travel through space. Even if I have some experience in escaping techniques, I can only escape with my mana. It is impossible for me to win against you. "
Zhang Yan said seriously, "After I return, I will persuade Sect Leader to remove the Forbidden Abode. Return Daoist's magic treasures. Once Daoist's strength has recovered, the two of us can compete again. "
He could tell that Mu Shoushan was restricted by his current predicament and could not use many of his powerful techniques. If he was defeated under such circumstances, Mu Shoushan would not be convinced. If that was the case, he might as well return the Heaven's Grotto-Heaven to him. At that time, they could have a proper discussion. That would be for the best. If not, it would depend on the Sect Leader's opinion.
When Mu Shoushan heard this, he did not look happy. Instead, he frowned and raised his head. He said in a deep voice, "May I ask Hall Master Du Zhen what happened in the sect?"
Zhang Yan said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Zhenren. Now, our Qincang School has 14 Daoist Grotto-Heavens, but no one dares to bully us. But if one doesn't think far ahead, one will have immediate worries. Nothing happens now, but that doesn't mean nothing will happen in the future. "
"Fourteen grotto-heavens?" Mu Shoushan's eyelids twitched.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If there's a chance, we can talk about this in the future. I'll take my leave now. "
He bowed, turned into a ray of light, and flew out.
Mu Shoushan watched as the light flew out of the small world. He closed his eyes, as though he was talking to someone. After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "So this Hall Master Du Zhen has not used any Artifact Just Now. No wonder he has the confidence to do this."
He seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and pondered, "Fourteen grotto-heavens, what is Junior Brother Qin trying to do? Maybe I've been tired for too long. It's time for me to go out. "
After Zhang Yan flew out of the small world, he walked out again. When he reached the door, he saw Shen Baishuang and Qin Yu at the door. He bowed to Shen Baishuang and said, "Thank you for waiting, Zhenren Shen." Then, he bowed to Qin Yu and said, "Greetings, Zhenren Qin.
Qin Yu quietly returned the greeting, but she did not say anything. She looked at Shen Baishuang, and the latter asked, "How is Brother Mu?"
Zhang Yan replied, "Zhenren Mu is fine, but the demon in his heart has not been removed. He still needs to meditate in seclusion."
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded to Zhang Yanwei and transmitted a few words to Shen Baishuang before turning around and leaving.
Shen Baishuang said, "Since the matter here has been settled, I will return to the Golden Pavilion. If Hall Master Du Zhen does not have any instructions, why don't we go together?"
Zhang Yan could tell that he had something to say, so he agreed.
The two of them flew back the way they came.
On the way, Shen Baishuang said, "A few years ago, I took in a disciple. His aptitude is not bad, but he is partial to the Sword Dao. He is not willing to learn other paths. I think that the sword scripture in the sect is shallow, and I have nothing to teach him. I would like to ask for a favor from Hall Master Du Zhen. Could you help me to teach him a thing or two?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That is easy, but it is not convenient to go to the Hall of Du Zhen. Zhenren Shen, you can let him go to the Spirit Page Island another day. I can give him a fated chance."
Shen Baishuang thanked him solemnly when he saw that he had agreed.
Zhang Yan was now the Hall Master Du Zhen. His position in the sect was just below the Sect Master. It would be a great honor to ask him to teach. However, the aptitude of his new disciple was not bad, and it was very likely that he would bring glory to the sect in the future. Therefore, he would rather owe him a favor and help him build a solid foundation.
It did not take long for the two of them to return to the Floating Heavenly Palace. After saying goodbye to Shen Baishuang in front of the palace, Zhang Yan went to the main hall. After reporting to the Sect Master, he asked someone to invite him into the hall. After entering the inner room, he bowed and sat down.
Sect Master Qin asked, "How was the trip, Hall Master Du Zhen?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Although Zhenren Mu has an obsession, it is only an obsession. It is not irresolvable."
Sect Master Qin asked gently, "Then what does Hall Master Du Zhen mean?"
Zhang Yan said, "If a person like Zhenren Mu is willing to contribute to the sect, he will be able to add a great combat force to our Qincang School before the great calamity. Allow me some time, and I will be able to give Sect Master an explanation. "
Sect Master Qin nodded and said, "Then I will leave this matter to Hall Master Du Zhen. Regardless of the final outcome, you only need to inform me."
Zhang Yan agreed. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is one more thing. Can you return the treasures that Zhenren Mu used in the past? I would also like to ask Sect Master Du Zhen to open the restriction on his Grotto-Heaven."
He did this because the Grotto-Heaven was also a part of an Elephant Realm cultivator's strength, and there might be many old items in it.
Sect Master Qin did not ask him the reason. He waved his horsetail whisk, and three items flew from the sky and slowly landed in front of him. They were two jade boxes and a talisman. He tapped the talisman with his horsetail whisk and said, "This talisman can open the Grotto-Heaven, and it can also seal it at any time. Hall Master Du Zhen, please use it well."
As Zhang Yan's spirit moved, the talisman flew in front of him. He raised his hand and held it in his palm. He used his magic power to probe it, and he knew that this item could isolate the connection between the Grotto-Heaven and its owner.
However, this did not mean that after the restriction was removed, Mu Shoushan would no longer be restricted. There was a formation within the Qincang School. If he did not have permission, no matter where he wanted to go, he would not be able to. He could only go back and forth from the small world he lived in. As for going outside the sect … Unless he could use his own strength to suppress the mountain gate's formation, he could forget about it.
He waved his sleeve and put the jade boxes and the talisman into his bag. Since this matter was over, he said a few more words before getting up to leave.
After leaving the main hall and returning to the Du Zhen Hall, he first adjusted his breathing and cultivated. After only an hour, he was already full of energy and vigor.
He reached into his sleeves. He took out two grey round stones. They were the two Abyss Toads that he got from the North Ocean. He placed his palm on them and gently rubbed them. The abundant spiritual energy from the outside flowed into the inside.
The reason why the two Abyss Toads fell asleep was because there were no rams that were filled with spiritual energy above the North Ocean. However, this place was different. It was where the three upper halls of the Qincang School were, and the outside couldn't be compared to it. A short moment later, it started to shake.
However, one of them. It just shook a few times, and then it stopped moving.
Zhang Yan looked over. This one didn't have enough lifeforce, and it didn't have much lifespan left. Even if it could come out now, it wouldn't be of much use.
As for the other one, it kept shaking without stopping. In the end, the hard shell shattered, and with a croak, a large toad jumped out. Its entire body was bright and translucent, as if it was carved out of crystal.
It squatted on the table and looked around sneakily. Then, it secretly looked at Zhang Yan, and its body shuddered. Then, it leaned forward like a human and said, "Thank you, Celestial Master, for saving my life."
Zhang Yan looked down and said, "You don't have to thank me, I'm looking for you because I want to use you."
The giant toad said, "Yes, yes, my life was saved by Celestial Master. In the future, I'll do whatever Celestial Master wants me to do.
Zhang Yan asked, "Do you have a surname?"
The giant toad's eyes shone, and it glanced at the stone shell on the other side, "My surname is Yu, Yu Zu."
Zhang Yan said, "Your vitality has been depleted for a long time. Find a place to stay, adjust your Qi dynamic, and recover your mana. I'll call you when I need you."
Yu Zu was overjoyed. "I have thick skin and flesh, so I'm easy to take care of. The water here is rich, so there must be a lot of food. Celestial Master only needs to let me enter the water to cultivate, and I'll be able to replenish my vitality very quickly. I'm honest, and I'll definitely repay your kindness. If you need anything, I'll definitely be there."
Zhang Yan looked at it and said with a faint smile, "I see that you look simple and honest, but you're actually cunning. You're not as honest as you say."
Yu Zu's eyes rolled around, and it said, "What are you talking about, Celestial Master? I'm just an uneducated person, so I really don't understand."
Zhang Yan smiled. "It doesn't matter if you understand or not. You've just arrived at my place, so I can't let you wander around. Someone has to control you."
He called the formation spirit over, and he said, "I'll leave it to you. As long as it's alive and can be used by me, you can do whatever you want."
The formation spirit chuckled, and it said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll definitely make this demon toad obedient."
Zhang Yan waved his hand.
The formation spirit bowed, and with a flick of its sleeve, it kept Yu Zu into its sleeve before leaving.
After it left, Zhang Yan thought about Shen Baishuang's request earlier, and it seemed that he valued that disciple a lot.
If he only wanted to learn ordinary sword skills, there were many famous flying sword masters in the sect. For example, Feng Ming, who was Elder Xun's disciple, was more than enough to teach a junior disciple.
However, Shen Baishuang didn't look for them, but came to his place to ask for a favor, so it was obvious that he wanted to learn a superior sword skill. Now, in Qincang School, no one could compare to him in this aspect.
Shen Baishuang had taken care of him in the past, and since this matter came to him, he had to give him an explanation. Therefore, with a thought, a sword ray flew out from between his brows, out of Xuanze Ocean, and headed towards the Dragon Lake.
There was a ray of his Split Light Shadow hidden within, and it was enough to teach that disciple.
After doing this, he thought about the verification he had with Mu Shoushan. There were many flaws in the High Altitude Lightning Technique that he had created. He had to make another deduction. Thus, he waved his sleeves and closed the door of the hall. He sat down and entered seclusion.
Spirit Page Island.
A beam of light flew over and arrived outside. When the light dispersed, Zhang Yan's doppelganger turned into a shadow and walked out. With a sweep of his gaze, the restrictions on the island were removed. Then, he slowly descended from the cloud.
He looked around his surroundings. This was the first place he'd set foot in after entering the Dark Azure Sect, and it was also here that he could be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation. Yet he never imagined that 700 years had passed in the blink of an eye, and it truly caused him to sigh endlessly with emotion.
He walked along the mountain stairs to the cave abode on the island, and looked up. Although this place had been lent to the disciples for cultivation, they didn't dare to stay in the cave as they respected their masters. They had opened up another cave abode behind the mountain, so the layout inside had not changed, and it was still the same as when he left.
He sat on the cattail hassock, and heard a rustling sound. He saw a five-colored spirit lizard crawling out from a crack in the wall. When he saw it, he smiled, "So you're still here."
The spirit lizard's lifespan was only about a hundred years, but after Zhang Yan left, the cave abode was sealed, and it fell into a deep sleep. Now that the restriction was lifted, it woke up, but it thought that its master had just returned from outside.
Zhang Yan changed his mind, and sent a spiritual vigor into its body, saying, "It's up to you now."
A few days later, a small boat came from outside the Spirit Page Island, and there were two teenagers on it. One was a boy and the other was a girl, and they were both about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were dressed in the same coarse clothes, and they looked like a pair of brother and sister.
The girl had two buns, and she looked pretty. Her eyes were bright, and she sat at the bow of the boat, looking around curiously. The boy, on the other hand, was rowing with all his might, wiping the sweat on his forehead from time to time.
The girl looked at his embarrassed look, and she giggled. She used her slender fingers to stroke her fair cheeks, and said, "Senior Brother, aren't you ashamed? Rowing a small boat is so tiring, and you still call yourself a cultivator."
The boy rolled his eyes, and said snappily, "The water in the Great Pool of Dragon Abyss is muddy, how can it be compared to the rivers in the outside world?"
The girl counted with her fingers, and said with a smile, "You deserve it, Senior Brother. You even boasted in front of Master that you could reach the Spirit Page Island in a day. Now, one, two, three, four … it's been five days, and you're still not here. I'm afraid that Master has been waiting for you for a long time, and has left."
The boy retorted, "Nonsense, that Master is cultivating on the island, how can he leave?"
Although he was not willing to admit defeat, he was worried about his gains and losses. His Master, after finding him, threw a book to him, and then disappeared all day. He only stayed for a few days when he opened his meridians. He also said that there were sword immortals on the Spirit Page Island, and if he wanted to learn the Flying Sword Art, he had to sincerely look for them. That was why he rowed the boat personally. Fortunately, he was not far from the island.
He looked at the billowing smoke on the island, and although there was surprise in his eyes, there was also a look of anticipation. He wiped his sweat, and started rowing again.
