Enlightened Master Wu's expression changed and he asked, "Could it be … that the treasure is already in Enlightened Master Zhang's hands?"
Zhang Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I am not fated to have this treasure. Female. "
He turned to the side and gestured with his eyes. "The treasure that Enlightened Master Wu is looking for should be over there. Enlightened Master, you can go take a look."
Daoist Master Wu turned to look at the spot he was pointing at and saw a sparkling pearl. With just one look, he felt as if his spirit was about to fly out of his body, just like the day when the sect leader had summoned him. He was shocked, but also overjoyed. If there were no accidents, this pearl would be the treasure that the Pingdu Sect had been longing to find.
Because he was in a hurry to get it, he excused himself and quickly walked over. After observing for a while, he raised his hand and wanted to use his mana to move it.
He gently raised his hand, wanting to use his magic power to move it. However, when he tried, it was like a gentle breeze shaking a mountain. There was no movement at all.
He was startled and thought for a while. He took out an array artifact from his sleeve and set up a restriction around it. After making sure there were no loopholes, he sat down cross-legged. After a while, golden light and silver splendor shone brightly. A Dharma spirit that was like smoke and clouds walked out of his physical body.
He was suppressing his aura, but once his Dharma appeared, it was difficult to conceal it. Fortunately, he had set up an array artifact Just Now, but the spiritual vigor of the earth meridians under his feet was lacking. Under the roaring spirit tide, the entire island was shaking. It looked like he was sitting on the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.
At this moment, Tao Zhenren was refining the soul essence of the Hui Dragon in the Green Phoenix. There were restrictions around him. If there was an external attack, he would be able to sense it immediately. However, this kind of leakage of Qi was not enough to alarm him. Therefore, he was still immersed in the movement of mana.
However, most of the cultivators on the island had low levels of cultivation. How could they withstand such a surge of energy? All of them sat down and barely managed to circulate their energy to resist.
The white-robed scholar did not expect another Enlightened Master Dongtian to come here. He felt that if this were to continue, this island would definitely collapse, but he was powerless to do anything. He could only fly out of the abode and rush to the pagoda. He begged, "Zhang Shang Zhen, I've managed this place of cultivation for hundreds of years, and there are hundreds of disciples under me. If it's ruined, I don't know where I can go. I beg Shang Zhen to have mercy on me, and ask Shang Zhen to restrain his mana."
Zhang Yan glanced into the distance. Adept Wu still had some sense of propriety. Although the commotion was big, But in reality, it couldn't shake this island.
However, if he continued like this, it was very likely that his aura would leak out and attract the attention of some of the Donghua Continent's Grotto-Heavens who had cultivated their Nascent Embryo. Although they might not know who was here, it was not appropriate to attract their attention. Therefore, he raised his hand and a gust of Qi flew out. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire island and protected it.
The white-robed scholar saw that there were no more waves. He finally calmed down and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Shang Zhen, for helping."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. He looked at Adept Wu and saw that the Dharma Spirit had already walked to the front of the pearl. At that moment. The pearl seemed to be pulled by something. It shook for a moment, then suddenly flew up and entered the Spiritual Elder's forehead, turning into a beam of light and returning to his body.
Adept Wu's body trembled. His expression changed, as if he had seen something. Then, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
He stood motionless for a few hours before coming back to his senses. He slowly stood up and walked toward the pagoda.
At that moment, Zhang Yan realized that the other party's aura had actually grown a lot stronger than before. This situation was extremely likely to break through another barrier. It seemed that this treasure was indeed related to the Pingdu Sect. He smiled and said, "Adept Wu's mana has improved greatly. Congratulations."
Adept Wu bowed and said, "Thank you, Adept Wu. This is just a small gain. It's nothing." He paused and said, "Adept Zhang, this treasure is of great use to the Pingdu Sect. Can you allow me to bring it back?"
After all, the pearl was found by Zhang Yan first. Even if it was deeply related to him, it would be too inappropriate if he took it back without giving an explanation.
Zhang Yan didn't answer him directly. He only asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the inside story of this treasure?"
Adept Wu said, "This …" After taking the pearl into his body, he did learn some secrets, but some of them were related to the Hidden Appearance Pagoda.
The foundation of the Pingdu Sect was based on this pagoda. As long as this treasure was not destroyed, there would always be a way out. It was especially important to the sect. Even if it was an ally, it couldn't be revealed.
Zhang Yan seemed to see that he was in a difficult position. He smiled and said, "This treasure was originally obtained from a Heavenly Demon. It has the ability to transform its spirit into a doppelganger. I asked this to prevent it from hiding something in the pearl."
When Adept Wu heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He said, "You don't have to worry, Adept Zhang. This pearl doesn't have any evil and filthy Qi. As for its function, it can be placed into the consciousness of a living being. Even if the body dies, as long as there is enough spiritual opportunity, it can be reborn."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "The Art of Memory?"
If a Daoist cultivator had a disciple who had passed away and had the cultivation of an elephant, then when he reincarnated, he would be able to execute a technique to pour all sorts of memories of the past into his sea of consciousness. In this way, on the surface, there would be no difference from his previous life.
However, this was not to awaken the previous life's memory. It was to forcefully change the consciousness.
There were many flaws in this technique. It was equivalent to tearing a crack in the originally seamless consciousness. It was fine during normal times, but if one fought with the disciples of the Devil's Doctrine, it would be easy for them to take advantage of it. Moreover, such a disciple's temperament was not stable. It was impossible for them to achieve much in the future. Therefore, most people wouldn't use it.
Adept Wu said in a low voice, "There are some similarities, but they are not the same. Furthermore, with the pearl, it looks like the consciousness is not damaged. However, the one that comes back may not be the original person."
Zhang Yan thought about it and nodded to show that he understood.
From Adept Wu's words, he knew that this pearl was like a copy of the consciousness and memory of the user. Every time it came back to life, it would be the same as the original. However, to outsiders, there was not much difference.
He thought to himself, "I was wondering how the Hui Long could maintain an immortal spirit and eternal consciousness after thousands of incarnations. I thought it was an innate ability, but it was because of this treasure."
He understood that there must be a secret in this pearl. However, as long as he knew that it was not the Hui Long's doing, there was no need to investigate further.
He said, "This treasure has nothing to do with the demons. Adept Wu, please take it back."
Adept Wu revealed a happy expression and said solemnly, "Thank you, Adept Zhang. My sect will remember this favor. "
After saying that, he bowed and did not even put away the array artifact. He flew up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Seeing him leave, Zhang Yan also returned to the pagoda to cultivate.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Cyan Phoenix carriage, Spiritual Master Tao touched the Beast Walking Diagram, and a snow-white Centipede Dragon flew out. However, it was extremely small, and looked like it was only the length of a hair band. He stretched out a finger, and the Centipede Dragon swam around the tip of his finger, looking extremely intimate. He gently tapped its body and the Hui Long's soul essence suddenly flew away.
He walked out of the carriage. He looked up and saw that the Hui Long's soul essence had already become ten thousand feet long. It swam around in the air and continuously absorbed the spiritual opportunity in the surroundings.
Zhang Yan also sensed the changes here. His body swayed and he was already standing outside the pagoda. He looked into the sky and smiled. "Controlling the Heavenly Demon's soul essence. I have to congratulate Tao Zhenren for adding another trick. "
Tao Zhenren bowed and said, "Thanks to your help, Adept. He said, "Thanks to Zhenren's help, in the future, the Dark Azure Sect's matters will be my matters."
Zhang Yan did not stand on ceremony and said, "In the future, there are indeed many matters that require your help, Adept. On the way back, I can tell you clearly."
Tao Zhenren agreed. With a call, the Hui Long was lured down from the sky and stored in the beast diagram.
However, he knew that although the Heavenly Demon had been refined into a soul essence, its cultivation level could only fight with the Yuanying cultivators. To recover its vitality, it needed a large amount of spiritual opportunity.
After this matter, Donglai Continent's spiritual opportunity was weak. It was not a good place for cultivation, so the two did not want to stay any longer. Before leaving, Zhang Yan summoned the white-robed scholar and said, "The demons of this continent have been destroyed. You are now free. What are your plans after coming down?"
The cultivators of the island continent outside of Donglai Continent were originally a means of balance that he left behind. According to his original plan, it could at least delay the Hui Long's formation for three to four hundred years. By then, the person who imparted his Dao technique would be able to return to settle the karma. However, now that the Hui Long had been retracted, there would not be any demons for at least a few thousand years. Even if this person had his own plans, it was considered a meritorious deed. However, he was willing to give him a chance to choose.
The white-robed scholar thought about it. Donglai Continent's spiritual opportunity was too weak. After he left, the future of these disciples would be bleak. He said, "I heard that outside of Donghua Continent, spiritual opportunity is abundant. Is it possible for Adept to bring us there?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That's easy. From top to bottom, as long as you are willing to go to Donghua Continent, you can all follow me back."
Origin Mirage Gate, Xiaohan Heart Realm Mountain.
Zhenren Wei stood in front of a stone tablet the size of a mountain range. Her eyes were fixed on it without saying a word. Behind her stood a girl with a cold temperament. She used a veil to cover her face, revealing only a pair of misty, dreamy eyes.
Enlightened Master Wei said, "E 'er, your aptitude is excellent, and your accumulation of merit is also sufficient. This path is extremely suitable for you, but whether or not you can pass this hurdle, it's hard for me to judge. You can only decide for yourself."
E-Er asked, "Master, did Eldest Senior Brother also choose this path?"
Zhenren Wei was silent for a while before replying, "Yes."
Back then, the eldest disciple of the sect, Jin Xuanyuan, had comprehended a superior technique and used it to form a Grotto-Heaven. That was why he entered this tablet. This person could be said to be the most outstanding disciple of the Origin Mirage Gate in the past thousand years. However, now that more than a hundred years had passed, he still had not come out. Even the sect master could not find him when he entered. He could only temporarily seal his corporeal body with Ice Nightshade.
However, Zhenren Wei was very clear in his heart that after such a long time, he might have already been trapped inside. It was impossible for him to come out again.
E-Er lowered her head and thought for a while. She said, "If I say I am unwilling, will Master let Junior Sister come and try?"
Zhenren Wei asked indifferently, "Are you worried about your Junior Sister?"
"No." E-Er squinted her eyes as if she was smiling. She said, "If Junior Sister succeeds, won't she be suppressing me? That won't do."
She turned her head and said, "Master, E-Er is going."
With a bell-like laugh and the fluttering of her white veil, she stepped into the stone tablet and disappeared.
Zhenren Wei looked at the big tablet and couldn't help but sigh.
After a long time, a maid came and said, "Master, Netherspring Sect's Master Gong Liang has arrived."
Zhenren Wei was not surprised. He said, "Invite him here."
Not long after, a Daoist with a weak appearance walked in with the maid. He cupped his hands and said, "Zhenren Wei, please wait."
Zhenren Wei said, "Fellow Daoist Gong Liang is too serious."
Gong Liang Chu took a few steps forward and looked at the big tablet in front of him. He sighed and said, "This must be your sect's' Mind Imagery Spirit Return Great Spirit Tablet '. Can it really transform into an opponent in my mind?"
Zhenren Wei raised his chin slightly and said, "Of course."
This Great Spirit Stele was the ultimate treasure of the Yuan Mirage Sect. It could transform into all kinds of powerful figures that the Great Spirit Stele had seen before. When outsiders entered, those cultivators would use the same methods they had used in front of others in the past to fight without the slightest deviation. Even the unpredictable "Yin Spirit Formation" of the Yuan Mirage Sect was derived from it.
It was just that the Origin Mirage Gate had only been established for two thousand years. Thus, most of the people it had transformed into were outstanding figures from the past two thousand years.
Gong Liang Chu said, "If I want to fight against Qincang School's Yan Changsheng, would that be possible?"
Zhenren Wei said indifferently, "After Yan Changsheng formed his own grotto-heaven, he fought many times and never hid anything. Naturally, the great spirit tablet also reflected him. However, let me give you a piece of advice. If Fellow Daoist only wants to train your techniques in fights of magical powers, you don't have to choose opponents that are too powerful."
Gong Liang Chu said with a smile, "Zhenren Wei is right. The pill jade in my hand didn't come for nothing, so I must treasure this opportunity."
There was a price to pay to enter the great spirit tablet. He had to pay quite a lot of pill jade, but it was much better than exhausting his own magic power. Thus, it was still worth it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Southern Flower Sect's Duke Huang Yugong can be my opponent." He laughed loudly and walked into the tablet.
Zhenren Wei sat cross-legged and waited outside.
A day later, Gong Liang Chu walked out and said with a smile, "Duke Huang Yugong's cultivation is profound, but his methods are slightly lacking. He's a little too weak to be my whetstone."
Zhenren Wei knew that he had won and thought to himself, 'This Gong Liang Chu has some skills, but I've underestimated him.'
Not long ago, another elder from Netherworld Spring Sect returned, and three disciples tried to break through to the next realm, but none of them succeeded. On the contrary, this Gong Liang Chu, who usually wasn't very outstanding, finally crossed the threshold. However, his cultivation was still shallow after all, so he didn't expect to be able to defeat Duke Huang Yugong this time. Even though it was only an illusion and couldn't show his full strength, he didn't hold back at all and didn't even care about life and death. Being able to win was already not bad.
She said, "Does Fellow Daoist still want to try?"
Gong Liang Chu nodded and said, "Of course. I heard that Duke Huang Yugong was defeated by Zhang Yan, so I want to try this person's techniques."
When Zhenren Wei heard this, his red lips opened slightly, but he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Gong Liang Chu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhenren Wei. You won't be left out of the pill jade." When he finished, he drilled into the tablet again.
Zhenren Wei was silent.
In less than ten breaths, there was a rumble, and the spirit tablet shook. With a flash of brilliance, Gong Liang Chu retreated from inside.
