After Fu Baoxing greeted the Elders outside the hall, he led Yuan JIngqing into the main hall. After walking to the back of the hall, the two of them walked up a stone staircase. After passing through a barrier of spiritual light, they entered the Xuanze Ocean Boundary.
Yuan JIngqing found himself standing at the edge of a cliff. As far as his eyes could see, all he could see was the surging seawater. Further away, there were three large mountains suspended in the air, half hidden by the clouds.
Fu Baoxing pointed to the front and said, "Junior Brother, this is the place where Master cultivates."
It was Yuan JIngqing's first time entering a small world. He couldn't help but look around and felt that his horizons were broadened. He couldn't help but breathe in and out. He felt that the spiritual vigor here was much stronger than the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake.
Fu Baoxing smiled. It was the same for him when he first came here. Every time he came here to ask Zhang Yan for advice, he would benefit a lot. He said, "Junior Brother, if you can reach the middle of the third stage, you can be like Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother and stay here to cultivate."
At this time, Yuan JIngqing suddenly felt that there was a spiritual vigor brewing on the mountain peak. It was as if the mighty force could set off monstrous waves at any time. It made one's heart palpitate. He pointed and asked, "Senior Brother, I wonder where is that? Why is there spiritual vigor surging? "
Fu Baoxing turned his head to look and said, "The Du Zhen Hall has a total of three halls. Other than Master who is in charge of the main hall, there are also the left and right hall masters. The one you are talking about is the side hall master Zhenren Ning. Rumor has it that this Zhenren is the next person in our Qincang School to achieve the position of Heavenly Abode."
Yuan JIngqing silently sensed for a while. He felt that although Zhenren Ning had not reached that level, the strength of his spiritual vigor was far above the Elders outside the hall. The gap between the two was so huge that it couldn't be compared.
At this time, two Dark Flood Dragons came over on the clouds. When they arrived in front of the two, one of them spoke in human language, "Master Fu, Master Yuan, Shen Niangzi has asked us to come and greet the two of you. Please come to the saddle."
Fu Baoxing didn't stand on ceremony. After giving Yuan JIngqing some instructions, they both stood on the back of the Jiao Dragon. The two Jiao Dragons soared into the sea. However, he did not fly towards the giant peak. Instead, he flew upwards and soon passed through the clouds, arriving at a cloud palace.
Jing You was already waiting in front of the hall. He smiled and cupped his hands, "Greetings to the two spiritual masters."
Yuan JIngqing had already heard from Fu Baoxing that this Jing You was his teacher's personal attendant and many of the mundane affairs were taken care of by him. Yuan JIngqing came from an official's family and knew that Jing You only looked lowly. However, he definitely couldn't underestimate him. Thus, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Jing."
Jing You beamed with joy. He said, "I don't deserve such a title. Master is in the hall. The two spiritual masters can come in and greet him."
Fu Baoxing and Yuan JIngqing thanked him. They straightened their robes and walked inside. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw a dignified and dignified Taoist in black robes sitting on a jade platform. Above him, Xuan Qi was surging. Like the surging waves of the sea, there was a faint five-colored light rotating inside.
Fu Baoxing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."
Yuan JIngqing had been in Donghua Continent for almost two hundred years. This was the first time he saw Zhang Yan's true appearance. He was excited. Fortunately, he had Fu Baoxing's advice. He knew that he shouldn't look too much, so he lowered his head as soon as he came up. When he reached the stairs, he kowtowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Yuan JIngqing greets Master."
Zhang Yan raised his hand slightly and said, "Both of you may rise."
After the two thanked him for his teacher's kindness. They kowtowed again and stood up.
Zhang Yan's gaze moved to Yuan JIngqing. After looking for a while, he said, "Jing Qing, you have cultivated for two hundred years. To be able to cultivate to the middle Yuanying Realm with just half of the scripture is really not easy."
Yuan JIngqing hurriedly said, "If not for Master's wonderful technique, without such a blessed place like Zhao You Heavenly Lake to cultivate, I definitely wouldn't have achieved what I have now."
Zhang Yan said, "Now that you have reached this realm, you can continue to cultivate the technique."
He raised his finger and pointed. A ray of spiritual light landed and entered the space between Yuan JIngqing's eyebrows. In the latter's consciousness, a scripture appeared. It was the second half of the Yuanchen Spiritual Cave Scripture.
Before this, he already knew that the second half of the scripture was where the essence of the scripture was. It was specifically used to talk about how to sense one's divine energy. He didn't get this technique before because if he didn't get the gist of the first half, even if he got it in advance, it would be useless.
At this moment, he roughly scanned through and saw that the descriptions inside were really mysterious. However, he knew that now wasn't the time to study it deeply. He bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Master for the technique."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The second half is more profound and mysterious than the first half. I will allow you to meditate in the small hall for a month and comprehend the scripture."
Yuan JIngqing knew that this kind of opportunity was hard to come by. He hurriedly kowtowed to thank Master for his kindness.
A spiritual light flashed in the hall and a charming girl walked out. She walked in front of him and smiled. She said, "Yuan Zhenren, this way."
Yuan JIngqing nodded and followed her. They walked along a corridor and came to a hall. He looked around and sat down on the futon in the center.
He thought about it carefully. It was obviously impossible to comprehend anything in such a short period of time.
However, the second half of the scripture recorded many supernatural powers and Dao techniques that could only be cultivated by learning this scripture. In this place where spiritual vigor flourished, he could replenish his mana anytime and anywhere, so he could try cultivating it.
After having an idea, he chose one of the techniques and went into a meditative state to comprehend it.
Soon, a month passed.
The girl came again and said, "Yuan Zhenren, the time has come. The hall master has summoned you, please follow me."
Yuan JIngqing stopped meditating and followed the girl to an alchemy room. Zhang Yan was sitting on the futon. Yuan JIngqing's expression turned serious and he immediately went forward to greet him.
Zhang Yan looked at him and smiled, "Your Qi dynamic hasn't risen and your spirit lake is quiet. Have you been cultivating the techniques of the secret technique?"
Yuan JIngqing said, "Master's eyes are like a torch. I have been cultivating a small technique called 'Palace Building of the Eight Directions'. It's just that the method is profound and broad, so I haven't understood much."
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and smiled, "This technique was passed down by Spiritual Master Yan. He was once a senior of my Yue Cang Sect. In our sect, he was the one who had the deepest understanding of the sensory nerves. He was also the only person who had used this technique to enter the grotto-heaven in the past thousands of years. Your luck isn't bad, and this technique isn't difficult to master. You just need to practice it diligently. It happens to be the most suitable technique for you to cultivate right now, just remember it. Just remember, even when you reach the pass, don't rush. Just let nature take its course. "
Yuan JIngqing said seriously, "I will remember."
Zhang Yan said, "With your current cultivation, it is enough for you to travel outside. I want to go to Donglai in the future. This is your hometown. Why don't you come with me?"
When Yuan JIngqing heard this, his heart was moved. He bowed and said yes.
He had been out for more than a hundred years. No matter if it was his family or friends, most of the people he knew had turned into dust. But this was the place where he grew up. Even though he was separated from the mortal world, it was not true that he did not have any attachments to this place.
After Zhang Yan said a few more words, he gave him a protective talisman and ordered him to leave.
Yuan JIngqing came out of the hall and saw Fu Baoxing standing outside. He said in surprise, "So Senior Apprentice-Brother hasn't left yet."
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "Every time I came back, I would only stay for three to five days before I had to leave. This time, I borrowed Junior Apprentice-Brother's light and was able to cultivate here for almost a month. I have to thank Junior Apprentice-Brother. "
As the two of them spoke, the Formation Spirit in the hall also walked out. Behind it was a giant that was more than 30 meters tall. In its hand was a chain that was tied to a Black Scaled Flood Dragon. However, its body was no more than 10 meters long. It looked like a small dragon. It followed behind obediently. When it looked at the two, its eyes were filled with fear.
Whether it was the giant or the dragon, Yuan JIngqing had never seen them before. He couldn't help but pay attention to them. The giant grinned at him, as if showing goodwill.
The spirit of the formation said, "Zhenren Yuan. Old Master knows that you don't have any talisman on you. You don't have anything to fly with. So he gave you this small dragon to use as your leg strength. "
Even though Yuan JIngqing had always hated demons, he didn't mind if he could use it. Back in Donglai Continent, there were many demons who worked for the imperial court. Every time he was able to find the demon's nest, he was able to use it very well. This Flood Dragon, on the other hand, did not look like an ordinary demon. He thought that it would be a great help to him, so he said, "Mother, please thank my master on my behalf."
The spirit of the formation smiled and said, "I will definitely bring it." She bowed to the two and returned to the hall.
Yuan JIngqing took a look at the small dragon. With a wave of his hand, he cut the chain and asked, "What is your name?"
The small dragon's body shook and instantly turned into a delicate and pretty child. He bowed and said, "This lowly one is called Gong Yi. Greetings, Old Master."
Yuan JIngqing said, "Since you call me Old Master, then you need to change your name. When I was young, I made up my mind to sweep away demons and bring peace to the world. From now on, I will call you Yuan Ping."
The child couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Old Master, for giving me a name."
Yuan JIngqing shook his sleeve. Yuan Ping understood and shook his body. He turned into a black light and flew in.
Fu Baoxing said, "Junior Martial Brother is lucky. This Inky Dragon is violent and untamed. It is not easy to make it obedient. However, the young dragon is different. Don't think that it is small, it is as ignorant as a child. It will do whatever you say. As long as you treat it well, it will be of great use in the future."
Yuan JIngqing said, "May I ask, Senior Martial Brother, how should I raise this dragon?"
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "You are asking the wrong person. I don't know either. However, your Seventh Senior Martial Brother is an expert in this field. He is a warm-hearted person. You can ask him."
Yuan JIngqing nodded and asked again, "I heard that Big Senior Martial Sister and Second Senior Martial Brother are also cultivating here. I wonder if I can pay them a visit?"
Fu Baoxing shook his head and said, "Big Senior Martial Sister and Second Senior Martial Brother have been in seclusion for a long time. I don't know where they are. Since Master didn't mention it, I don't think he wants us to disturb them."
Yuan JIngqing heard this and didn't ask any more. He left the small world with Fu Baoxing. After saying goodbye, they left the Floating Celestial Palace and went straight back to the Heavenly Lake of Zhao You.
Because he saw many people whose cultivation far surpassed his own, he felt that his current cultivation was more than enough, but still not enough. So once he returned to his cave, he went into seclusion to cultivate. After a whole year, Zhang Yan sent someone to summon him. He knew that it was time to go to Donglai. Just Now, he tidied up his clothes and came out of seclusion.
He stepped into the formation door and went out of the cave. Then, he rode the wind and flew upwards. When he reached the top of the sky, he looked around and saw auspicious light and auspicious clouds covering the sky. A dragon carriage stopped on the wall of the sky. In front of it were sixteen ink-black dragons pulling it. Behind it was a nine-story pagoda. Zhang Yan sat on the top of the pagoda while Jing You stood at the side. He hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Zhang Yan, "Get on the carriage."
Yuan JIngqing said yes and got on the carriage.
Zhang Yan raised his sleeve, and the sixteen dragons roared in unison. They soared into clouds and pulled the pagoda, flying eastward.
Only half a day later, the dragon carriage arrived above the East Sea. In the distance, there was green smoke and colorful fog that spread out for thousands of miles. On the rainbow light, there was a blue luan flying carriage with a young Taoist sitting on it. It was the Sect Leader of Clear Feather Sect, Tao Zhenhong. When he saw Zhang Yan's carriage arrive, he stood up to welcome him.
The dragon carriage stopped in front of him. Zhang Yan walked to the railing of the pagoda and greeted him. After some small talk, the two of them returned to their respective carriages. Not long after, they headed into the depths of the sea together.
Traveling on a carriage, although it was not as fast as the two of them traveling on their own, the advantage was that they did not need to exhaust their own transcendence energy. Moreover, the two of them did not have urgent matters to attend to, so they traveled at a moderate pace. After three months, they arrived at the outskirts of the East Arrival Continent.
Zhang Yan called Yuan JIngqing over and said, "Tao Zhenren and I still have matters to attend to. You have been away from your homeland for a long time, why don't you go back first? Once we are done, we will naturally summon you back."
Yuan JIngqing knew that with his cultivation, he would not be of much help, so he bade farewell and left. After identifying the direction of his home, he rode the strong winds and headed towards the center of the continent.
After flying for an hour, he saw a city by the coast. However, it was completely empty, and his heart sank.
He knew that his Master had come here to subdue a Heavenly Demon. It could be said that it was the source of the demon calamity in the East Lai Continent. He thought to himself, "According to Master, this demon only needs two hundred years to recover some of its vitality. Could it be that it has already come out to cause trouble?"
After silently sensing for a while, he sensed that there was still someone in the deep mountains nearby. He immediately turned into a conveyance light and flew over. When he saw that there was a Shangde Daoist Temple here, he immediately descended and asked outside the door, "Which Fellow Daoist is here?"
After calling out twice, a skinny Daoist came out. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he asked, "Who are you, Sir?"
Yuan JIngqing said, "I am Yuan JIngqing, a disciple of Shangde Celestial Master. Due to some reason, I have been out at sea for more than a hundred years. Now that I have returned, I see that the city below is empty and there is no trace of anyone. I do not know what has happened, so I have come to inquire."
When the skinny Daoist heard this, he immediately believed him because there had never been anyone in the continent who dared to use the name of Shangde Celestial Master. He bowed and said, "So it is the esteemed Grandmaster of Shangde. This lowly Daoist Fa Yi is the guardian of this temple. The matter at the foot of the mountain is because there is a strange fish in the sea that often comes to the land to devour humans and livestock. Because the King of Zhenhai is concerned about the population, he ordered the entire city to be relocated elsewhere."
Yuan JIngqing was astonished and asked, "The King of Zhenhai?"
He was very puzzled. The Le Dynasty had never had such a king title. It sounded like those bandits who did not understand etiquette had come up with it.
Daoist Fa Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that Celestial Master does not know. A hundred years ago, all the demons and devils in the continent had been pacified. However, although the demon calamity was pacified, human calamity arose again. The Ping Kang Emperor had a violent internal court collapse and died without an heir. More than ten feudal vassals raised their troops to fight for the throne, but after fighting for more than a hundred years, there was still no result. Instead, it provoked the local tyrants to rise up and occupy the mountains and cities. This is how the King of Zhenhai came about."
