Qincang School's Floating Heavenly Palace.
This place was located thousands of feet above the Great Lake of Longyuan, where the top ten Spirit Caves of the Donghua Continent were located. Every moment, there would be an immeasurable amount of Spiritual Qi inhaling and exhaling. The clouds swirled and the strong winds raged. If one did not have the power to protect himself, he would be washed away by the turbulent airflow as soon as he got close.
As soon as Zhang Yan got close, a talisman fell and turned into a beam of spiritual light, guiding him to the place.
In the clouds, he focused his attention and looked at the floating celestial palace that was suspended in mid-air. It was shaped like a conical tower and was extremely majestic. There were a total of nine levels and each level was like a flight of stairs. This was the most important place of the Ying Cang Sect. The Du Zhen Hall, the Extreme Hall, and the Daylight Hall were not only the sectmaster of the Ying Cang Sect who cultivated in seclusion, but also the elders of the sect who had profound cultivation in the past generations.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yan felt that this palace was somewhat familiar. If this conical tower was a few more levels higher, it would be similar to the Dharma that he was suppressing Just Now. His heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but have some guesses about the origin of that person.
At this moment, his body swayed, and the spiritual light around him dispersed. The talisman fell into his body and did not know where it went, but he did not care. He looked back and saw that he was standing in front of the highest level of the heavenly palace, the Ji Hall.
Seeing that he was summoned by the talisman, the servant boy outside the hall did not dare to be negligent and immediately led him into the hall. Zhang Yan straightened his sleeves and walked in. Not more than ten feet, he saw a hundred-foot tall screen wall erected in front of the hall. There seemed to be the shadow of a giant beast that looked like both a fish and a bird swimming around. He could not help but stop and look at it.
The boy smiled and said, "This is the ancient divine beast that the founder of the sect trapped here. I don't know what it is, and I don't know how long it has been trapped here."
Zhang Yan nodded and turned around the screen wall. In front of him, there was a star platform in the north. A Daoist dressed in feathered robes and a star crown sat upright with a horsetail whisk in his hand. Above this person's head, there seemed to be an endless river of stars surging. It was dazzling and dazzling. When he saw Zhang Yan enter, he chuckled and said warmly, "Zhang Yan, there's no need to stand on ceremony. You can come to the hall."
Zhang Yan smiled and came to the star platform. He bowed and straightened his body. He sized up the Sect Leader boldly.
When he was watching from the star platform, he only felt that the Sect Leader was an amiable elder. It was only when he got closer that he realized that the Sect Leader of Qincang School was actually a young Daoist with a nose that was raised to the brim and eyebrows that reached his temples. His appearance was handsome and elegant. There was a slight smile on his face that made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. However, his eyes were like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable.
At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly felt his eyebrows twitch. The old man jumped out from his forehead and casually sat to the side. He said, "Qin Mobai, I did what you asked me to do. I also did what you didn't want me to do. However, did you expect that this old man would not be able to resist and attack?"
The young Daoist smiled and admitted frankly, "Of course I couldn't hide it from Uncle Master Beiming."
The old man snorted and shook his head.
The young Daoist laughed heartily and turned to look at Zhang Yan. He said, "Zhang Yan, you've done such a meritorious service, so I should naturally reward you. I've said before that whoever kills the Demon Lord can establish a residence outside the sect. Today, I'll bestow the Heavenly Lake of Bright Nether to be your place of cultivation. However, you have to resolve the karma of Osmanthus Daoist yourself. I can't help you."
Zhang Yan said solemnly, "I already know where Senior Osmanthus will be reincarnated. After ten years, I'll bring him here and accept him as a disciple."
The young Daoist nodded slowly and sighed. "That's good. I had some friendship with Osmanthus Daoist back then. In the future, when he transforms into a human and enters my Qincang School, it will also be a grand occasion."
The old man suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He said, "Qin Mobai, you're quite generous to bestow a residence just like that. Aren't you afraid that those brats of the aristocratic families will find trouble with you?"
The young Daoist waved his horsetail whisk and said with emotion, "Times have changed. I, Qin Mobai, am still the head of a sect after all. How can I not take responsibility?"
The old man laughed heartily and said, "Looks like your line of master and disciple has also turned from extreme misfortune to joy. It's time to turn things around. This time, I've destroyed that person's Dharma Idol. If you still want me to take action, I can reluctantly agree this once."
He was a straightforward person and had never bothered to fuss over roundabout matters. In his opinion, no matter how crafty one's schemes were, they could be disintegrated with a single strike of his sword. There was no need to think too much about those useless things.
The young Daoist smiled faintly and turned to Zhang Yan. With a gentle expression, he warned, "Zhang Yan, you must remember that although I've bestowed this residence to you, I won't ask too much about whether you can manage it in the future. You'll have to work harder."
Zhang Yan nodded. Then, he thought for a moment and asked, "What do you intend to do with my Spirit Page Island?"
The young Daoist laughed and said, "Although you've set up a residence outside the sect, you're still a disciple of my Qincang School. The Spirit Page Island will naturally still be your residence. No one will invade it."
With a promise from the Sect Master himself, Zhang Yan was instantly relieved. He cupped his hands and said, "This disciple wishes to travel far and seek the fate of condensing the Golden Core. I hope the Sect Master will grant me this."
The young Daoist pondered for a moment and raised his hand. A Talisman appeared out of thin air and entered Zhang Yan's consciousness. "You've injured that person. Although Uncle-Master Beiming borrowed your hand, I'm afraid that his disciples and grand-disciples will cause trouble for you. I'll teach you a cultivation method. Whether you can comprehend it or not will depend on it. However, you mustn't teach it to others easily."
Zhang Yan only felt a golden Talisman flying into his body. Instantly, countless chants and techniques appeared in his mind. He didn't have time to read them in detail. He quickly bowed and said, "This disciple thanks the Sect Master."
The young Daoist nodded slightly and said, "If you want to leave, then don't delay. Leave as soon as possible. After you leave the Floating Heavenly Palace, remember not to go to the Danding Courtyard. That's all I have to say. You can leave now."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan had a thoughtful look on his face. He bowed to the Sect Master again and left the hall.
Just as he stepped out of the hall, a shout came from behind him. A black light flashed. The old man suddenly appeared in front of him. With a flick of his finger, a ray of light shot into the middle of his eyebrows.
Zhang Yan didn't look nervous at all. He smiled and said, "Senior, did you do something to me again?"
The old man laughed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. I saw that we got along well, so I put three doppelgangers on you. If you are in danger, you can use them to save your life. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care. But you, Qin Mobai begged me outside the hall for an entire night. Just Now, I reluctantly gave you one …"
At this point, a faint voice came from inside the hall. "Martial Uncle Darknorth, it's not the style of an elder to talk behind someone's back."
The old man laughed and turned into a black light that shot up into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Zhang Yan walked out of the hall and was thinking about how to get down from the Floating Heavenly Palace. The talisman hidden on his body seemed to have sensed something. A ray of golden light shone out and wrapped around his body. It swept away the strong wind and suddenly dropped down from thousands of zhang high in the sky. It sent him to an uninhabited island. Then, it flashed and disappeared.
Zhang Yan looked up at the sky. There were white clouds in the sky. A few eagles spread their wings and let out a melodious cry. In the blink of an eye, they flew into the sky.
At this time, he suddenly understood. Sect Master had summoned him with lightning speed and settled the matter of the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. It was likely that he wanted him to leave as soon as possible.
Actually, he had killed Gui Congyao and severely injured the Nameless Daoist. He was in the limelight now. No matter whether he was willing or not, he would definitely be the center of the whirlpool if he stayed in the sect. It was a wise move to leave now.
Originally, he had wanted to see Zhou Chongju before the trip, but the Sect Leader's last words made him secretly vigilant.
What could happen in the Dan Ding Yard?
He thought carefully and realized that the problem was most likely with Qin Zhenren.
This Spiritual Master had always been domineering and could not be judged by common sense. This time, not only did he not die, he also made a shocking achievement. It could be said that he had humiliated her. He might even be waiting in the Dan Ding Yard now. If he was captured and brought to the Lang Ya Cave, he could find an excuse to slowly torture him. By then, even the Sect Master would not be able to think of a way to save him.
From the looks of it, the Dan Ding Yard was definitely not a place to go.
Zhang Yan was a free and easy person. He immediately gave up on this thought and rode the conveyance light back to the Spirit Page Island.
After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he felt that he could not stay in the sect for long. He should leave as soon as possible.
Therefore, when he arrived at the Spirit Page Island, he saw the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship. He raised the ship in the air and shouted, "Everyone of the Spirit Page Island, come out and follow me to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake."
Luo Xiao, Shang Shang, the group of strong men, and the beauty Yu Ji were all happy to see their master return safely. They all came out of the cave residence. Although they were puzzled why they were going to Zhao You Heaven to eat, and why he was in such a hurry, no one hesitated. They all got on the boat at his command.
Zhang Yan called Luo Xiao to the side and took out a jade token. Dao Luo said, "I'm going to travel far away to find a chance to build my core. This is the token to open the cave in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. Bring them in and cultivate. As long as I don't return, you are not allowed to leave the Heavenly Lake."
When Zhang Yan was stationed at Bamboo Knot Island, he had secretly visited Gui Congyao. The restriction of the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake was originally set up by this Great Demon. After he died, Zhang Yan was the only one who could open it. Even if a few people from the Heavenly Abode joined forces to attack it, they would not be able to break it without several months. It could be said to be impregnable. Zhang Yan was also afraid that someone would covet the cave after he left, so he simply ordered everyone not to go out to avoid any accidents.
Luo Xiao took the jade token. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hidden bitterness. She asked, "Master, are you going to leave today?"
Zhang Yan nodded. Dao Luo Xiao said, "Things might change if I delay."
Luo Xiao bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Don't worry, Master. No matter how long you're gone, I will definitely take good care of this cave of yours."
Zhang Yan laughed brightly. He threw the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship's token and turned into a blue ray that flew out. In a flash, he came to the fire mouth on the mountain peak of the Spirit Page Island.
He appeared his Golden Fire Mystic Light and flew down the fire mouth. After diving for a thousand feet, he shouted, "Zhang Ju, help me collect the baleful aura here."
The boy turned around and responded with a clear voice. He unfolded the Mountain River Painting, and the picturesque landscape spread out horizontally in the belly of the mountain. The baleful aura under the Spirit Page Island was originally boiling, but when it was drawn into the painting, it was all contained, not a single trace of it was left out.
About two hours later, Zhang Yan saw that the baleful aura here was enough for him to reach the third level of the Mystic Light Realm. He shouted and shot out of the mountain peak in a flash, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, he appeared outside the mountain gate of the Qincang School. He turned around and swore in his heart, "I'm going to travel the world this time. If I don't reach the first grade, I won't come back!"
He waved his sleeves and laughed. He walked in the air and sang, "There is no noble or lowly in the world. How can a god sit in the golden palace? If I can get a breath of immortal spiritual energy, I dare to fight for the sun and moon in the nine heavens!"
This heroic and generous voice echoed in the clouds, gradually getting further and further away.
