After Zhang Yan walked out of the inner hall, Jing You, who was waiting outside, had a joyful expression. He came up and bowed, "Congratulations on coming out of seclusion, Master."
Zhang Yan asked, "When I was in seclusion, did Spiritual Master Sima send any news?"
Jing You replied, "There were three times. First, it was said that Kong Ying and Yang Chuan worked together to defeat the Dragon Monarch of Jun Chen World. Then, it was said that in order to instigate a war between the two families, they had no choice but to take a risk. The last time was sixty years ago. It was said that they had angered the Jade Liang Cult. In order to avoid their pursuit, they had no choice but to flee to the Savage Desolate Heaven Region. “
Zhang Yan nodded. He walked to the side hall where the Two Realm Dial was placed. He reached out and pressed on it. There was a flash of spiritual light, but after a long time, there was no response.
He thought for a while. If it wasn't that something happened to Sima Quan, then it was that the realm he was in was not suitable to use the dial.
Sima Quan had the body of a Heavenly Demon and had been in Jun Chen Realm for a long time. Unless someone like Kong Ying acted personally, it would be hard to kill him completely. Therefore, it was most likely the latter reason.
However, other than Sima Quan, he had also buried Zhang Yi, a hidden chess piece. Now that a hundred years had passed, some of his memories should have awakened. At that time, he could take out the Two Realm Dial from the spiritual boat and send the news back. Therefore, he was not afraid of not knowing what was happening in Jun Chen Realm.
He retracted his hand, waved his sleeves, and turned to walk out.
A hundred years of seclusion was just a short moment to him. It was nothing. However, the outside world was vast. Since he did not need to cultivate, he could come out and walk around.
Jing You hurriedly followed behind.
The moment Zhang Yan stepped out of the hall, the boar cow that was circling in the sky sensed his presence. It mooed and landed in front of the hall. It prostrated in front of the hall, its soft and thick fur trailing on the ground.
This being was the most loyal to its master. In the hundred years that he had been in seclusion, it had been guarding outside the hall and had never gone to other realms.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I still need to cultivate in the sect. You don't have to wait here. You can go outside and have fun. If I need you, I will call for you. "
The pig bull's intelligence wasn't low. It let out a low moo and slowly floated into the air, flying towards the Outer Realm.
As Zhang Yan watched him leave, he thought of something and asked, "Is there any movement from Zhang Chan?"
Jing You bowed and said, "Reporting to Master. In the past few years, Zhang Chan had sent back news one after another. Recently, there was news that the 'Oblivion Barrier', 'Star Wall Jade Ring', and the 'Chanting Dragon Formation' on the Barren Star had been built. However, there was a shortage of manpower. The people from the Nine Continents had only occupied a few mountains and rivers on the Earth Star, and the Barren people had Just Now Awakened, so their numbers were not many. It was a pity that the rest of the vast land was occupied by demons. “
Zhang Yan pondered. "It's still because of the lack of manpower. Hmm, do you remember that the Hundred Countries of the Eastern Wasteland gifted me with a hundred thousand slaves?"
Jing You replied, "There was indeed such a thing. However, the Spiritual Masters of the islands were used to using their own people, so they placed them on an island. Later on, there were Heavenly Ghosts who could order them around, so they didn't ask anymore. "
Zhang Yan said, "Quickly go and find out how many people there are now."
Jing You acknowledged and summoned a Jing Ren over to give him some instructions. The latter bowed and retreated.
After a while, a spiritual light came. Jing You went to take it and opened it. He raised his head and said, "Master, there are five million people on the island now."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "That's quite a lot."
Jing You said, "According to the island deacon who was in charge of this place, these slaves were all young and strong. Every one of them had cultivated a body strengthening technique. The island was protected by our sect's formation, so there were no natural disasters or demonic invasions. The land was also suitable for farming. That's why there are so many of them. In recent years, there have been many cultivators going there to pick disciples."
Zhang Yan said, "Since the 'Chan Long Formation' has been built on Wu Xing, you can find a way to transfer a hundred thousand people from the island and send them there. Then find a hundred disciples from Zhao You Heavenly Lake and send them there."
Jing You said, "This lowly one will obey."
Zhang Yan asked again, "I've been in seclusion for a hundred years. Are there any changes inside and outside the sect?"
Jing You thought for a while and said, "In these hundred years, nothing major happened. However, the system of ten disciples has been changed." He took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is a letter from the Left and Right Hall Masters."
Zhang Yan said, "Oh." He had expected that the system of ten disciples would be changed, but he didn't want to move so quickly.
Originally in the nine continents, the Qincang School only occupied the Great Lake of Dragon Lake. Due to the lack of spiritual opportunity, the number of spiritual points that could be worshipped was very limited.
Now in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was only the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture, which was now called the Dragon Lake. It was as big as the nine continents. Therefore, out of practical considerations, the rules had to be changed.
He took the report, and after reading it once, he nodded his head.
After Qi Yuntian summoned the two hall masters to discuss, the ten disciples were chosen as the sixteen peak leaders. Each peak leader had to have Yuanying cultivation to be able to sit.
In order to prevent any unforeseen events from happening after the sudden change of the rules, there were 24 official disciples under the sixteen peak leaders. This position was similar to the original ten disciples. As long as one had entered the Core Transformation stage, they could compete for the position. However, the original rules were the same. At the very least, one had to be a True Disciple from the lower house to be qualified to sit.
Zhang Yan was reading the letter when he suddenly heard a roar from a distant island. There was also the sound of metal being forged. He asked, "What are they forging?"
Jing You looked and said, "Master, that should be the Hou tribe. They are under the orders of the Left and Right Hall Masters to forge the Yuan Zhenyuan Golden Lock."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. "The Yuan Zhenyuan Golden Lock can even restrain Great Sages of this realm. Did the sect encounter some Great Demon in the Northern Reaches?"
Jing You said, "Master, you are right. Recently, we encountered a white lion in the Northern Reaches. This demon is entrenched in a mountain. If our disciples are in danger, it will appear to help. However, this demon values its territory very much, and does not allow Qincang School disciples to enter. Anyone who gets close will be swept away by its magical power. Three Heavenly Ghost Great Sages went to suppress it, but they were all defeated. However, it did not injure anyone, and they were all released."
"I heard that there are Daoists in the sect who believe that this kind of Great Demon knows when to advance and when to retreat. Since it does not cause any trouble, and it is very far from the sect, we should just let it go. However, there are also Daoists who believe that even if this demon does not injure people now, it does not mean that it will not harm people in the future. Even if we do not take its life, we should find a way to capture it and use the rules to control it."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then flicked his sleeve. The mountain, river, water, and land map of the Mountain and Sea Realm immediately appeared in front of him. He asked, "Point out the place where the white lion is."
Jing You raised his finger and pointed at the north end, "Master, it's here."
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly when he looked down. At first glance, there didn't seem to be any problems, but when he looked out from the ravine in the center of the four regions, the white lion's territory just happened to be in the north. What was interesting was that the Golden Luan Sect's palace was in the west, and the distance between the two and the ravine was also extremely close. There didn't seem to be anything when looked at separately, but when put together, it was rather subtle.
He had a vague feeling that the white lion's background was not simple. However, with Sect Master Qin here, he should be able to see some clues, so there was no need for him to ask about it.
With a flick of his sleeve, he scattered the scenery of mountains and rivers, then turned back to the hall and flipped through the records left behind by those who had broken through to the Mortal Transformation Realm.
Although he had already roughly looked through them, there were still quite a few Erosion Runes mixed in here. Without reaching the Nascent Embryo stage, it would be difficult for him to truly understand their profundities.
As he immersed himself in this, several days passed without him realizing it. When he stopped, he felt that he had gained quite a bit.
At this time, Jing You said from outside, "Master, Daoist Master Wei heard that you have come out of seclusion, so he has come to pay a visit."
Zhang Yan put down the jade scroll, smiled, and said, "Call him in."
Not long after, Wei Zihong entered the pill room, bowed, and said, "Disciple pays his respects to Master."
Zhang Yan looked at him a few times, nodded, and said, "The Yaoyin Clan's cultivation method is also extraordinary. You have just entered the grotto-heaven not long ago, but your cultivation is already as if you have cultivated for hundreds of years."
Wei Zihong replied, "Disciple was just lucky."
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and said, "You are also a leader of a sect now, so there is no need to stand. Sit down and talk."
Wei Zihong said yes, and sat down on the praying mat at the lower end.
Although he had cultivated to the Elephant Realm, there were very few books left behind by the predecessors, so he still had many questions about cultivation. This was a rare opportunity, so after saying a few words, he seized the time to ask for guidance.
As the master and disciple asked and answered, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
When Wei Zihong woke up, he realized that so much time had passed, and hurriedly stood up to bow, and said, "Disciple was rude, and delayed Master's cultivation."
Zhang Yan said, "No matter, it was not easy for you to cultivate to this stage, and now you are the sect leader, if you have any questions in the future, if you can't get away, you can write to me."
Wei Zihong was delighted, and said, "Thank you, Master."
He paused, and then took out three letters from his sleeve, and said, "Master, these are the letters that Senior Sister Wang and Junior Brother Han have asked me to bring, Master, please take a look."
Zhang Yan had already expected this, and took the letters and opened them, and sighed slightly.
The Wang sisters and Han Zuocheng had lived for more than a thousand years, and their lifespans were coming to an end. The three of them had the intention of reincarnating, but without their master's permission, they did not dare to do it in private. Now that they heard that Zhang Yan had come out of seclusion, they asked Wei Zihong to ask on their behalf.
Zhang Yan said, "Zihong, when you go back, call Caiwei, Caiting, and Zuocheng to see me tomorrow."
Wei Zihong said yes, and he also sighed, and said, "The two Senior Sisters have treated this disciple very well, and Junior Brother Han is also like a brother to this disciple. Even now, everything that happened in the past is still vivid in my mind. We have been fellow disciples for a thousand years, and now that we are suddenly separated, my heart is also somewhat reluctant."
Zhang Yan raised his eyes to look at the world outside and said, "Since I've taken all of you as my disciples, I will naturally not allow all of you to fall into the mortal world and be unable to transcend. Moreover, this isn't a bad thing. With me here, it'll be a completely different scene once they reincarnate."
