Zhang Yan understood the reason why the Heaven and Earth Leaf was unable to shed its mystic form and enter the true form for so long.
This treasure received the help of the dragon spine in the second refining, hence the depth of the treasure's foundation was rare in the world. That was why it was able to push the true consciousness to such a critical juncture.
However, it was also because this item was extraordinary that the original true consciousness was slightly weak, hence it was especially difficult to pass this stage.
However, by doing so, the chance of nurturing the true treasure was much faster than nurturing it himself. Moreover, with the tribulation ahead, he didn't have the time to slowly grind it there.
Now that he made an oath, not only was he forcing himself, but he was also forcing the true consciousness.
Very quickly, he knew that this step was the right one.
Under the combined efforts of both inside and outside, in just a month, there was an inaudible sound coming from the Heaven and Earth Leaf. The leaf surface relaxed, the veins of the leaf became unprecedentedly clear. Every stalk had a halo flowing on it, showing that it was full of vitality.
At this moment, it had reached the crucial moment. The breath that rushed up in one go definitely couldn't be released. The true consciousness moved forward bravely. That was because it was provoked by his words previously. If it relaxed even a little, it would lose its obsession to move forward. If it wanted to do it again, at least it was impossible before the tribulation. If it wanted to succeed, this was the only chance.
After refining for another three days, not only was the light on the leaf no longer bright, it gradually dimmed.
Zhang Yan's expression didn't change at all. He just looked at it without blinking.
After a long time,
He heard a deep dragon roar reverberating in his ears, as if it came from far away.
If one were to say that this leaf was originally dead, then it suddenly came back to life.
A gust of wind blew out of nowhere, sweeping the Heaven and Earth Leaf up. Zhang Yan allowed it to float out of his palm and lightly land in the ocean below.
After it circled a few times on the surface of the water, it was discovered by a golden carp that was swimming around. Seeing an exquisite and beautiful leaf floating above, it was also very curious. Maybe it was attracted by the spiritual energy on the leaf, it wagged its tail and chased it underwater. After following it for a while, it noticed that there was no danger. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, leaping up and swallowing the leaf.
However, right at this moment, the strong winds that surged in the sky suddenly vanished without a trace, and the surroundings suddenly became completely silent. Even the tide below froze in that instant. The golden carp seemed to be held by an invisible force as well, and the World Leaf merely swayed gently before gliding away.
It was just a short moment. Everything returned to its original state. The tide continued to surge, and the wind was still blowing. The golden carp fell into the water with a splash.
With a light leap, the leaf actually returned in front of Zhang Yan. Then, it spun down and transformed into a good-natured young man. Although he had delicate features, he was still a young man. However, there was a hint of maturity between his brows as he bowed respectfully. He said, "Greetings, Old Master. This lowly one has been born today, please bestow me a name."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Your name has already been decided." As he said that, he pointed a finger at the space between his eyebrows.
The young man's body trembled slightly, and he immediately prostrated on the ground, "Zhang Ze greets Master. I hope that I will not disappoint Master's expectations in the future. "
Zhang Yan nodded, "Very well."
Zhang Ze's body turned, and he turned into light and went into his sleeve.
Zhang Yan gazed into the distance. Once the Heaven and Earth Leaf was formed, all his plans would be complete. As for the remaining matters … What was left was to wait for the Human Disaster.
He calmed his mind and started to channel his spiritual vigor wholeheartedly.
This closed-door training lasted for three months.
As he was immersed in the spirit will and Qi movement, he heard a bell ringing. He got up and went to the side hall. There was a piece of Psychic Jade Wall there.
He stood in front of the Jade Wall and waved his sleeve. After a while, Qi Yuntian's figure appeared on the Jade Wall. He bowed and said, "Junior Zhang, greetings."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said solemnly, "Senior Brother Qi, are you looking for me because there's something in the sect that requires my help?"
Qi Yuntian nodded, "I have something to discuss with Junior Brother. Today, Sect Master Zhenren summoned Zhenren Xiao, Zhenren Du, Han Zhenren, and Zhenren Yan to ask about the details of the plan before the disaster. However, many things are inconvenient because Hall Master Diankong is not around. I feel that the Qi of the earth has been leaking more and more recently. I can already feel it when I get closer to the crack. It's not long before the disaster begins. Junior Brother Huo has not returned yet, should we call him back now? "
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Huo has always been steady and decisive. He should know that the sect is approaching the disaster stage. If he has not returned now, he should be at a critical juncture in his cultivation. Why don't we wait for a while more?"
Qi Yuntian thought for a while and nodded, "Alright, let's wait for another three years."
As for what would happen in three years, it was needless to say. By then, the Qi of the earth would change, and the Dong Hua sects would realize that something was wrong. Qincang School could not do without any combat power. By then, Huo Xuan would have to return to Qincang School even if he did not want to.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, there was a sudden surge of spiritual vigor above the Floating Heavenly Palace. Many Zhenrens in the sect were very familiar with this movement. Someone had escaped from the grotto-heaven, and they knew who it was without asking.
Huo Xuan stepped onto the steps of the hall, and the Elders cultivating outside all came forward to welcome him. They said in unison, "Welcome back, Hall Master."
At this moment, there was a flash of spiritual light, and a few disciples cultivating in the hall also came forward. They bowed in surprise and said, "Greetings, Master."
Huo Xuan looked at everyone and said, "Get up." He then said to the disciples, "Follow me in."
After sitting down in the hall, he felt that the spiritual vigor in the sect was abnormally flourishing. He carefully sensed it and realized that it came from a crack in the ground. He immediately understood that this was because after the door broke through the earth barrier and dug up the earth's roots, the Qi of the earth surged up.
He knew that the time was pressing, and there was not much time left for him to prepare.
After thinking about it, he asked the few disciples below, "When I was not here, did anything happen in the hall?"
A disciple stood up and said, "Master, everything is fine in the hall. However, a few Zhenrens saw that you did not return for a long time, and wanted to invite you back to take charge of the situation as soon as possible. That was why they went to the sect leader, but they were persuaded by Zhenren Qi and Zhenren Zhang."
Huo Xuan nodded and said, "I understand, you guys can leave first."
After dismissing the disciples, he adjusted his breathing and went to the upper hall to greet the sect leader. After he came out, he did not return to the house immediately, but went to the Du Zhen Hall.
Zhang Yan saw him and invited him to take a seat. He smiled and said, "Senior Huo Just now, you must have a lot of work to do. Why do you have time to ask me about this?"
Huo Xuan said, "After I came back, I asked a few disciples, and found out that a few Zhenrens wanted to invite me back a year ago. It was Junior Brother and Senior Brother Qi who persuaded them. I won't hide it from Junior Brother, I was in the middle of opening the Grotto-Heaven and couldn't get away. If I came back at that time, although I wouldn't have failed, I don't know how long I would have to explore, so I came to thank you. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is a small matter, Senior Brother Huo didn't have to specially come back."
Huo Xuan said sincerely, "Let's not talk about this. Back then, I also relied on Junior Brother's help to cultivate safely under the fire of the sea eye."
As he said. He took out a bottle of pill jades from his sleeves and placed it on the table. "I know that junior-apprentice brother doesn't lack pill jades here, but your eldest disciple's talent is extraordinary. It shouldn't be difficult for him to pass that trial. Consider this an early congratulatory gift for me."
Zhang Yan nodded and did not refuse. He accepted it generously.
At this time, Huo Xuan took out a strange red grass that was half a foot long. Looking at its appearance, it looked like a coral. He said, "I inadvertently obtained this from the fire eye. Even though it grows in the blazing lava flow, it can still survive. I heard that Academy Head Zhou is searching for this type of strange grass and strange wood. Junior Brother, there's no harm in taking it. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Then I thank Senior Brother Huo on behalf of Teacher Zhou."
Huo Xuan stood up and said, "The opening of the tribulation is near, I won't disturb Junior Brother's cultivation anymore. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Yan also stood up and cupped his hands. "I won't keep Senior Brother any longer. Take care, Senior Brother. "
After sending Huo Xuan off, he returned to his seat and quickly entered a meditative state again.
Spring and autumn passed, the sun and moon alternated, and another two years passed.
In Bu Tian Pavilion, Tan Dingxian, the sect master, always felt uneasy when he was sitting and observing. He originally thought that his cultivation was hindered, but after a few careful investigations, he did not find anything wrong.
This time, when he was finally able to clear his mind and enter a meditative state, he heard a huge rumble in the back of the hall. He could not help but be shocked and asked angrily, "What happened?"
A disciple hurriedly entered the hall with a panicked expression and said, "Ancestor, it's not good. The 'Yin Yang Longevity Pillar' that was placed behind the hall collapsed."
"What?"
Tan Dingxian was startled and scanned it. Indeed, it was so, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
This pillar of qi was said to be able to identify the fate of a sect. Although he looked disdainful, he still had some respect for it. Now that it collapsed, there was no reason for this to happen, so he said, "Quick, quickly check it. Take my instrument to check the spiritual opportunity in the world."
Although he did not know what was going on, Bu Tian Pavilion was known as "Bu Tian" and guarded the spiritual opportunity of the nine continents. His first thought was to check the spiritual opportunity.
The disciple took the instrument and after checking it, he replied, "Ancestor, the spiritual opportunity in the world is fine."
Tan Dingxian said, "No, something big must have happened. Check again!" Although he sounded so sure, he hoped that there were no changes in his heart.
After a long time, the disciple said in a low voice, "The Boundary Needle seems to be moving."
Although Tan Dingxian was looking everywhere for an oversight, when he heard this, he still did not believe it, "How is this possible? Are you sure you saw it wrong?"
The disciple was also not sure. He only said this because he had no other choice, so he immediately stammered.
Seeing him like this, Tan Dingxian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll check it myself."
He took the instrument and prepared to check the Nine Continent Boundary Needles one by one. The first thing he paid attention to was the one on the East Hua Continent.
After a while, his whole body trembled, and he said with a trembling voice, "The Boundary Needle, the Boundary Needle has been tampered with …"
At this moment, he was also stunned. The Boundary Needle was said to be used as a warning, but ever since it was erected, it had always been more of a deterrent than a practical one. He never thought that one day, there would really be a sect that would extract the Earth Qi.
After a while, he finally reacted and said in a hoarse voice, "Quick, quick, send a message to Yuxiao school. No, no! I want to sound the alarm bell and let the whole world know about this! "As he said this, his body turned into a beam of light and went straight to the highest point of the mountain.
In just a short while, the bell above Bu Tian Pavilion rang. Following this sound, the entire East Hua Continent resonated with the loud sound. It was as if even the heavens and the earth had sensed this change. Countless thunder clouds gathered, strong winds rose, and lightning flashed. Many realms were hit by a storm of thunder and lightning.
In the main hall of the Floating Heavenly Palace, Sect Leader Qin opened his eyes and looked at the sky. He knew that he could not hide it anymore.
He waved his big sleeves and stood up from his seat. He pushed open a matrix door, walked a hundred steps, and arrived at the Ancestral Hall.
The memorial tablets of the five generations of Qincang School's leaders were enshrined here. Starting from the second generation's leader, the remains of all the Zhenren who had ascended were here. At the very top was the true tablet of the sect's founder, Tai Ming Zhenren.
He went forward and bowed to offer incense. After paying his respects, he took a few steps back and said, "To the generations of Qincang School's founders, disciple Qin Mobai respectfully says: Ever since disciple inherited the position of the sect leader, for the sake of building up the mountain, I have spent every day meditating and sleeping, not daring to slack off for even a moment. However, ever since the founder opened up the mountain, the spiritual opportunity of this realm has gradually become scarce, to the point where the heavens and the people are not in harmony. If I do not work hard, after thousands of years, there will be no more Qincang School. I am incompetent. Today, I am willing to inherit the wisdom of the three generations of sect leaders, the Zhenren of the two halls, the Zhenren of the sect, and the external allies to eradicate the injustice, rise above the void, and create a new world! This is not for personal gain, but for internal self-sufficiency! Only for the continuation of the orthodoxy! Only for the continued prosperity of the mountain! May all the generations of sect leaders be blessed by the heavens. "
After saying this, he bowed a few more times, turned around, and walked out of the Ancestral Hall with a calm expression. He said calmly, "Come, sound the golden bell and gather the Zhenren of Qincang."
