After defeating the Firemane Ghost Ancestor, Zhang Yan returned to the Blue Sky Temple. He stood in the temple and looked down. Seeing that there was no movement in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he knew that the Heavenly Ghost Tribe had not made any other arrangements.
Thus, he sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing for a moment. Then, he released his spirit and came to a nameless space to meet with the two sect masters. He told them that the enemy had been eliminated and that for the future battle, he also explained the various divine abilities of the Firemane Ghost Ancestor in detail, including their strengths and weaknesses.
In this battle with the Firemane Ghost Ancestor, he had forced him to use almost all of his abilities and gained some understanding of the Ghost Ancestor. However, it didn't mean that he would be able to deal with him easily in the future.
Apart from the first Heavenly Ghost that appeared after the creation of the world, the other Ghost Ancestors had all returned to their ancestral bodies, so there were still differences between them.
Yue Xuanxiao said, "In Sect Master Zhang's opinion, will the Heavenly Ghost Tribe make any more moves? Will there be another Ghost Ancestor attack? "
Zhang Yan replied, "The three tribes have been destroyed, and the Ghost Ancestor has been killed. Unless the Heavenly Ghost Tribe awakens all the Ghost Ancestors now, they won't pose much of a threat to the sects of the Nine Provinces. According to the information revealed by Fellow Daoist Sima and Lian Ji, the Ghost Ancestor's slumber is to accumulate blood qi. This is similar to a cultivator's seclusion. Unless something important happens, the tribe can't wake him up at will. If they really do that, there will be more than one Ghost Ancestor this time, so the possibility of this is very small."
Sect Master Qin said, "Rumor has it that there are four Ghost Ancestors. Now that Temple Master Du Zhen has killed one, Major General will have one less enemy to deal with the Heavenly Ghost Tribe in the future. However, there seems to be some external help in this tribe."
Zhang Yan nodded. "That white-robed woman is full of Monster Qi. She is not as strange as the Heavenly Ghost. Judging from her behavior, she can come and go freely. From what I can see, she is not enslaved by the Heavenly Ghost."
Sect Master Qin said, "If I can use her, Temple Master Du Zhen can try to win her over."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Disciple understands."
He knew what Sect Master Qin meant. If he could rope this woman in, then he would try to rope her in. If he couldn't, then he could only kill her.
Just Now, when the Demonic Ancestor Moon Seizing Demon came. Sect Leader Qin and Sect Leader Yue actually had the chance to make a move, but the two of them were preparing for the Xuan technique. If they were to take the time to fight with others, their mana would be depleted, and they would have to start all over again. Furthermore, that place was too close to the Earth Abyss and had just been ravaged by the Fiery Mane Demonic Ancestor. If there were two more Mortal Metamorphosis level beings, it would be hard for it to survive. Hence, he only managed to scare them away.
The discussion was quickly concluded. The two sect masters retreated, and Zhang Yan retracted his divine will. He opened his eyes and took out the jade tablet.
Most of the words on the token were incomplete and difficult to complete. Only a few of them were still intact and recognizable. Upon closer inspection, there was no mistaking them.
He thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning behind it.
This Bai Gui was a ceremonial object, but as for what it was used for and who it originally belonged to, it was difficult to ascertain.
However, this item could replenish Yuan Qi, so it could be considered a treasure.
He tried to circulate his mana slightly. Immediately, he felt a surge of power entering from the jade. At the same time, the jade tablet decreased slightly. He nodded subconsciously. It seemed that the Fiery Mane Demonic Ancestor had used this item many times in the past, causing it to be incomplete. It might have originally been obtained from the hands of the cultivators from outer space.
This item was so magical, but it was a waste to only use it to recover his mana. He thought about it and put it away in his sleeve. Then, he sat on the meditation cushion and regulated his Qi. After a few days, his divine qi had recovered.
He stood up and waved his sleeves to go to the side hall where the Demon Interceptor Division was.
The maidservant came forward and bowed. "Master, I followed your instructions and replenished the blood medicine here every day. However, the blood medicine in the storehouse is running out."
Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly. "Oh, the blood medicine is running out?"
The maidservant said, "Yes, especially these few days. I have to replenish it more than ten times a day. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't last for a month."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. "I understand. You don't have to observe any longer. Just do as you have done in the past."
He waved the maidservant away and walked forward. He saw that the Demon Interceptor Division's fur had a thin layer of light that was like blood or oil. Furthermore, there was an obvious fluctuation of aura on its body. However, it was still half-dead. It was clear that it was still lacking a strong medicine.
He pondered for a while and moved his mind. Black smoke and baleful aura surged out from behind him. Then, drops of fresh blood flowed out.
This was the Qi and blood absorbed from the Fiery Mane Ghost Ancestor. After all, it was the Ghost Ancestor's blood. At this moment, he had not completely refined it, so he let the Demon Interceptor Division absorb it.
This item was even more violent than the blood medicine. Although it contained limitless vitality, just a drop of it flowing into a river could make living beings flourish.
When the Demon Interceptor Division sensed this blood, its body suddenly trembled. Then, slender mouths opened on its back and greedily swallowed the blood. As it sucked in the blood, its vitality surged. At the same time, its fur fell off layer by layer, and new flesh grew underneath.
Seeing that it was about time, Zhang Yan flicked his sleeves and dispersed the smoke. The Ghost Ancestor's blood was enough for the Demon Interceptor Division to use for several years. If the Demon Interceptor Division couldn't recover by then, it would die from not being able to withstand the power of Ghost Ancestor's blood. There was no third possibility.
He didn't look at it anymore. He turned around and left the hall. With a tap of his foot, he turned into a ray of light and landed in the Floating Heavenly Palace. When he returned to the hall, he looked for Jing You and asked, "Has there been a letter from the Earth Abyss?"
Jing You took out a letter and handed it over. "There was one half a day ago. It's here with me. I was about to show it to Master."
Zhang Yan took the letter and read it. This letter was sent by Yuwen Hongyang, stating that Gui Zu's Body Protecting Array had been damaged by the collision and would need to be rearranged. As for the surrounding area of the Earth Abyss, it had been destroyed beyond recognition and needed to be rebuilt, so Yang Kai asked Black Tortoise to stay for a while longer.
In fact, even without this letter, he didn't intend to summon Black Tortoise back.
If the Heavenly Ghost Great Tribe came from the Western Desolate Domain, they would try to recapture the Earth Abyss first before attacking the Cold Jade Sea Province. Otherwise, no one would feel safe with this thorn in their back. Protecting this place was the most important thing right now.
He put down the letter and said, "Go down and tell the disciples to send the Array Building Treasures collected by the previous time to the Earth Abyss."
Jing You asked, "Master, how many do you want to send?"
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "Send as many as you can. The two Sect Masters and I are enough to take care of the Cold Jade Sea Province. If we can't stop them, the Spirit Array will be useless."
Jing You hurriedly agreed.
Zhang Yan thought of the World Reflection Tower and thought for a while before saying, "Go and summon the Master of Bao Yang Courtyard."
Jing You bowed and went outside the hall to pass the order. After an hour, he came back and said, "Master, the Master of Bao Yang Courtyard has arrived and is waiting outside the hall."
Zhang Yan said, "Send him in."
After a while, a middle-aged Daoist with a square face entered the hall. He was the Master of Bao Yang Courtyard, Qu Gongtan. He was born in a small family and his cultivation was only in the second tier of Yuanying. However, he was very proficient in the art of artifact forging. He came to the bottom of the hall and bowed deeply, saying, "Qu Gongtan greets Hall Master Du Zhen. Due to a delay on the road, I came late. Please forgive me, Master Du Zhen."
Zhang Yan said, "It's fine. As the Master of a courtyard, Master Qu has many things to take care of. Moreover, the Sea Province is vast and there is no formation gate to transport people. It's quite fast to be able to come in two hours."
Qu Gongtan relaxed a little and said, "Master Qu, what orders do you have for me?"
Zhang Yan shook his sleeve and a spiritual light flashed. Immediately, more than a thousand World Reflection Towers flew out and landed on the hall. He said, "Master Qu is an expert in artifact forging. You can come and take a look at these items."
Although he also knew how to forge, as the Hall Master of Du Zhen, he did not have to do it himself. He only needed to say a word and someone like Qu Gongtan would come and do it for him.
Qu Gongtan's eyes brightened, but he did not move immediately. Instead, he took out an octagonal bronze mirror from his sleeve and slowly walked to the front of a World Reflecting Pagoda. He first focused his energy on his eyes, and after a few glances, he took out the bronze mirror and walked to the next pagoda.
Zhang Yan did not disturb him and let him do whatever he wanted.
Qu Gongtan did not find it annoying. He checked more than a thousand identical World Reflection Towers. Then, he came back to his senses and bowed to the tower. He said, "Master Qu, this treasure looks similar to the artifact forging technique of the nine continents on the surface. However, the inside is completely different. May I ask if it was made by a cultivator of this world?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Oh, can Master Qu confirm that it was made by a cultivator?"
Qu Gongtan shook his head and said, "The person who made it was only following the diagram. Anyone could have made it. Although this item seems to be more suitable for people who cultivate qi and blood in this world, it is difficult to change the flesh and not the bones. After all, it is still suitable for cultivators."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "If I ask Master Qu to find a way to break this treasure, can you do it?"
Qu Gongtan thought carefully and said, "It is not difficult to break one alone. However, this treasure uses one object to change into many things. The more there are, the more powerful it will be. There are many benefits to doing this. If the materials are of the highest quality and the refining method is brilliant, then the owner of the treasure can deal with any situation. As for the drawbacks, there are also many. If it is against an ordinary person, the rotation will be stiff. The thousands of pagodas in front of us only need to change the joints and can be broken with a true treasure. However, if there are more than ten thousand pagodas, and there is one item in the door, it can be done."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Master Qu, are you talking about the Deep Water of Heavy Depth?"
Qu Gongtan replied, "Yes."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and asked, "But what if there are more than a million of these pagodas?"
Qu Gongtan frowned and calculated in silence for a while. Then, he answered, "If there are more than a million pagodas, then there will be more changes. The Deep Water of Heavy Depth can still be suppressed, but it may not be able to break it. However, it is not impossible. My Bao Yang Courtyard's first master, Chen Xiaoguang, once left behind an item with great power. However, because there are a few missing materials from the ancient times, it has not been refined until now. If we can complete it, then it should be possible."
