In the battle with the old bald monster's clone, Zhang Yan's biggest gain was that the Stars Sword Pill gave birth to a True Consciousness. Chinese Network
His original intention was just to understand the method of unity of mind and soul, but he didn't have this extravagant hope at first because a sword pill that could give birth to a True Consciousness was one in a million.
Among the top ten Taoist sects in Donghua Continent, the Shaoqing Sect had the most sword cultivators. According to the elders in the sect, one of the factors to consider was whether a disciple could be imparted with a true consciousness on the sword pill.
Although Qincang School wasn't a sword cultivator sect, it also had a superior sword scripture inheritance. Even so, there were only a few people in the sect who could do this.
After the magic weapon was refined for a long time, the fated person could give birth to a True Consciousness. Once this was achieved, the cultivator would take great care of it and nurture it.
However, the sword pellet's true consciousness was different. It was born from killing, so it could only be refined into a true spirit through continuous sharpening in battle.
Zhang Yan pondered in his heart. Although he had many magic weapons, their power might not be much stronger than this Stars Sword Pill.
Moreover, when this sword pill was born, he was the only one who refined it. After it gave birth to a True Consciousness, it only recognized him as its master. No one could take it away from him.
Moreover, after the unity of mind and soul, wherever the sword pill went, he could see and hear everything clearly as if he was in his own home. He wouldn't be confused by the fog.
Zhang Yan sighed. Sure enough, it was still necessary to be tempered in a life and death battle to face oneself and see through one's true self.
He looked up at the sky, jumped up, opened the enchantment, and went up to the sky. He saw the familiar green light circled around the Eagle Perching Continent in an instant and came back to him. He went forward to greet him, cupped his hands, and smiled, "Greetings, Senior Fellow Apprentice Ning."
The green light disappeared, and Ning Chongxuan stood in the air with his hands behind his back. He said indifferently, "Junior Fellow Apprentice, tell me everything you know. Don't miss anything."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then told him what he had heard from the bald old monster. Finally, he said, "I have already sent a letter to the sect to report this matter."
To him, all he needed to do was report this to his superiors. As for whether or not it was true, the Sect Leader and the Enlightened Master would decide. It was not up to him to worry.
Ning Chongxuan pondered for a while and said, "I went to the Eagle Perching Continent for a walk. There is indeed a formation in the depths, but I didn't see any demonic cultivators. Obviously, it has become an empty formation. Even if the evildoer's words can't be trusted, it should be true that my brothers and sisters are trapped. I need to go back and see the sect leader."
Zhang Yan was aware of this and said, "If Senior Brother Ning has anything to say, feel free to tell this Junior Brother to do it."
Ning Chongxuan nodded and said, "I've just killed a Core Formation demon cultivator. There are still more than ten disciples who are still unconscious. It seems like they've been cursed. Move them to Bamboo Island and lock them up. Wait here. With the Jingluo Formation here, nothing will happen. If there are more disciples, don't bother even if they are Core Formation cultivators. If anything happens, I will take care of it. "
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "I understand, Junior Fellow Apprentice."
He suddenly thought of something and took out the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle. He said apologetically, "Senior Fellow Apprentice, I don't need this Ruyi Spirit Shuttle anymore. It's just that it was damaged this time. I'm sorry, Senior Fellow Apprentice."
Ning Chongxuan smiled faintly and kept the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle. He said, "I don't need this Ruyi Spirit Shuttle anymore. However, it was refined by my master, so I don't want to give it up easily. Originally, I wanted to pass on the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle to you when my cultivation is higher. Who knew that Junior Fellow Apprentice would have such a great fortune. You actually split it into 16 swords, which is even better than driving the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle. Just be careful and don't tell anyone about this, lest someone finds out and comes looking for trouble."
The Stars Sword Pellet and Zhang Yan's mind and spirit were one, so the sword could be moved at will. Moreover, after splitting, it was equivalent to having 16 Sword Pellets at the same time. If it could be split again in the future, its power would only increase. Even if the whole Ruyi Spirit Shuttle was better than the Stars Sword Pellet now, it would gradually become unsuitable in the future. It was better to focus on refining the Sword Pellet, which would have a bright future and endless potential.
Ning Chongxuan warned Zhang Yan a few more things before turning into a ray of light and leaving.
Seeing Ning Chongxuan leave, Zhang Yan remembered the latter's previous instructions and flew towards the Eagle Perching Continent. He was going to take the ten or so unconscious disciples back. However, when he arrived, he was shocked when he saw the ten feet deep ravine in the air.
He knew that although the difference between Mystic Light Realm and Core Transformation Realm cultivators was only one level, he didn't expect it to be so powerful. Moreover, it seemed like Ning Chongxuan didn't use his full strength.
He thought to himself, I wonder if Senior Fellow Apprentice Ning has cultivated the technique in the sect?
When one reached the Core Transformation Realm, they would condense all the Qi and Essence in their body into one. Their body would give birth to surging arcane energy, and they would be able to learn the technique in the sect.
Techniques were different from normal Dao techniques. When cultivated to the extreme, their power would be unimaginable.
For example, once Zhuang Bufan used his Great Overarching Heaven Sleeve, even if the opponent's arcane energy was higher than his, they would most likely be trapped and killed by him if they didn't have a treasure to protect themselves or a technique to counter it.
Zhang Yan thought, I'm still at the first level of the Mystic Light Realm. I wonder when I'll be able to reach this step.
He once heard that Ning Chongxuan was at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm when he wasn't even twenty-five years old. With this kind of progress, he should be able to condense his golden core within ten years.
However, no one expected that he had stayed at the Mystic Light Realm for twenty years and only broke through not long ago.
That was because he wanted to gather all the materials needed to condense a golden core above the third level, which was why he had delayed until now.
Although the master-disciple line didn't have as much accumulation as the disciples of the Mystic Gate Families, it wasn't difficult for them to take out these things for their disciples.
However, the master-disciple line of the Qincang School had a rule that every disciple of the master-disciple line had to travel around the world to find the materials they needed to condense their golden core. Although thousands of years had passed and this rule was no more, Ning Chongxuan had always been proud and didn't want any gifts from the sect. He traveled around the world with his sword.
In these twenty years, he had traveled almost the entire East Flower Continent and only returned two years ago. No one knew the inside story.
Zhang Yan saw that the sword aura that Ning Chongxuan shot out just now was extremely powerful. Its sword intent filled the sky. It should be a sword technique from the Sky Thousand Sword Sutra that Ning Chongxuan practiced.
This technique was one of the five techniques and three scriptures of the middle-level sects. Its power was indeed as vast as the legends said. Even a Core Formation cultivator was killed by it. It was enough to show the difference between the Mystic Gate True Techniques and normal techniques.
However, Zhang Yan could also vaguely feel that Ning Chongxuan had such power as soon as he entered the Gold Core. Although it was because his golden core was condensed into the second level, it was also because of the accumulation of the past twenty years. Although he could improve his cultivation by grinding hard in the sect, he lacked a period of tempering.
It was like a treasured sword that got sharper the more it was sharpened. If it was hidden in a box and didn't move, it would only rust.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, "Now that I'm a true disciple of the Qincang School, I can also fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. In the sect, I have my master and a few senior brothers to look after me. No matter how powerful the Zhou family is, they won't dare to do anything to me. After this battle of the three pools, I should go out to travel and broaden my knowledge. I can also collect the essences of the five elements and the materials needed for refining pills."
It was just that his Taiyi Golden Fire Mystic Technique required the Infernal Qi from underground. After leaving the sect, it would be good if he could think of a way to carry it with him …
At this time, his heart moved. In the Spiritual Mechanism Institute, not only could he use merits to exchange for secret Taoist books, he could also exchange for talisman flying swords. He didn't need any powerful talisman. He only wanted a talisman that could store the Infernal Qi and the essences of the five elements like his own Qi orifice.
Thinking of this, he calculated the merits he had made.
Fan Changqing gave him one merit. Later, he killed the Demon General and Ge Shuo recorded five merits for him. In refining pills, he had a total of seven merits. It was enough to exchange for a normal low-grade talisman. However, the merit book was above Ge Shuo's flying palace. This was a troublesome matter.
While he was thinking, he didn't stop and flew to the place where the dozen disciples were lying.
However, at this time, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something shining in the deep ditch.
He lowered his body and looked down. He saw a five-colored glazed stone lying quietly in the uprooted soil. It was emitting a faint glow like a treasure. With a wave of his hand, he caught it out of thin air. After looking at it a few times, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you have to come to me?"
He reached out and wiped away the layer of treasure light on it, revealing the true appearance of this thing.
It was a black jade ruler that was a foot long, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror. However, if one were to carefully examine it, they would notice that there were profound patterns on its surface that looked like etchings, and there was a faint bloody and violent intent coming from it.
Zhang Yan didn't need to look at it. Just by the aura coming from it, he knew that this thing must have something to do with the Demon Sect.
This thing could actually absorb spiritual energy under the moonlight and then emit a five-colored brilliance. If an ordinary person saw it, he would definitely pick it up like a treasure. In the future, his blood essence would be devoured. As for what strange things would happen in the future, he couldn't imagine.
Zhang Yan thoughtfully said, "The Core Transformation Cultivator that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning killed with a single sword strike should be the person who secretly manipulated the minds of the Junior Apprentice Brothers. This jade ruler must have been left behind by that person."
However, Ning Chongxuan's sword just now was overbearing and sharp. Even the Core Formation cultivator's dregs were not left, but this thing was safe and sound. It was enough to show that it was extraordinary.
Zhang Yan thought about it. This thing seemed to be hiding some secret, so he decided to put it away first and slowly study it in the future.
He didn't covet the Demon Sect's method. It was different from the Xuanmen's method, so it was useless for him to come. He just thought that the demon's method was mysterious. If it wasn't for his Stars Sword Pill breaking through at the last moment, he didn't know how much effort it would take to deal with this demon. If he could find out the origin of this method from this black jade ruler, it would be easier to deal with it in the future.
He rolled up his sleeve and put the thing away. Then, without delay, he waved his hand and released a Dragon Tooth Flying Ship. He moved the dozen or so Qincang disciples lying on the ground onto it. He took out a talisman and drove the flying ship back to Bamboo Island.
