Zhang Yan himself was standing on a high platform in front of the main hall. Looking out from here, he could see everything in the hall at a glance.
On the left of the platform was a Heavenly Domain Elephant Sphere of the Great Dust World. It was currently spinning slowly. This object was 300 feet tall, and every change in the rotation of the stars could be clearly seen, allowing people to see it with one glance.
He compared it secretly and realized that in terms of completeness, none of the Heavenly Domain Maps that he had seen before could be compared to this elephant ball. Moreover, as he willed it, he could even go deep into every planet. He could even see the mountains, rivers, continents and continents on the surface clearly.
However, after looking for a while, he realized that the names of the Heavenly Domain on the map were different from what he knew. Especially the Heavenly Domain where Yuliangism was located. It only occupied an extremely remote corner. He thought to himself, "This should be the Heavenly Domain Elephant Ball before the rise of Yuliangism. However, this kind of instrument can be guided by the starlight. As long as I can take it out, I can change the order of the stars. It is considered a useful object."
His gaze shifted to the right. On the right wall of the hall, there were two ferocious heads that looked like dragon heads. They were spitting out dense mist. He could feel that there was dense spiritual vigor in the mist. However, the range was limited to a thousand feet and it did not spread outwards.
When Zhang Yan came, he had already taken a look. There were no mountains or land veins on this star stone. There was also no spiritual vigor. Therefore, there was either a natural spiritual object behind it or there was a hidden small world grotto-heaven that provided a continuous supply of spiritual vigor.
Considering that this natural spiritual object could not be maintained for too long, the possibility of the latter was very high.
He calculated in his heart and realized that it was indeed the case. Looking straight ahead, he saw a wide stone door. The door of the mansion was wide open, and a wide path could be seen in front of him, extending far into the distance. He walked down the stairs, and just as he stepped into the main hall, there was a flash of spiritual light in front of him. It was an old man with a crutch. He looked at him with some vigilance and some confusion. The old man clasped his hands together and said, "This is the territory of the Qi Accumulation Palace. May I ask the Emperor, why are you here?"
Zhang Yan could see that this was just a formation spirit. He said calmly, "The Qi Accumulation Palace is gone. Before Palace Master Yang Chuan died, he handed this place to I. Therefore, this place belongs to my sect. It is no longer the property of the Qi Accumulation Palace."
The old man sighed and said, "Flowers bloom and wilt. No matter how prosperous a sect is, it is inevitable that this day will come. I just didn't expect it to come so early."
He did not doubt the veracity of Zhang Yan's words at all. A person of Zhang Yan's cultivation level did not need to deceive him. Moreover, even if he wanted to stop him, he would not be able to. Furthermore, the fact that Zhang Yan could arrive here so smoothly was enough to explain everything.
Zhang Yan said, "You are the formation spirit of the hall, so you are very familiar with this place?"
The old man said, "I know the general direction, but there are some places that I have not been to. Only those who have inherited the teachings can enter."
Zhang Yan pointed to the right wall and said, "I see a small world here. I wonder what is placed in it?"
The old man replied, "Only some plants that are not of high quality are planted here, and many mountains and rivers are piled up to supplement the spiritual vigor of this place. Usually, when people from the palace come here, they usually find it stuffy in the hall, so they go to the small world to cultivate."
Zhang Yan nodded. However, he was not in the mood to see what was hidden in the small world. The most important thing now was to control the center of the formation. Even if there was a formation here, it would not be able to trap him. However, he was afraid that he might trigger some restrictive spells and damage something important. Therefore, he said, "There must be a center of the formation in this Occult Orb. Lead me there."
The old man said respectfully, "Yes, Celestial Emperor. Please follow me." After saying that, he flew into the air and led the way.
Zhang Yan kicked the ground with the tip of his foot. Qi circled around his body, and he followed behind the old man unhurriedly.
All along the way, he noticed that there were numerous doors on both sides of the corridor, and there were over a thousand of them. Even though they were concealed by formations, they weren't able to escape his gaze, and he noticed that all of them were similar to the abode rooms of the disciples.
He was deep in thought. Occult Orbs were not only a place to pass on the teachings, but also a good place to hide. These cave chambers were originally prepared for the disciples who had escaped to this place.
Half an hour later, the old man stopped in front of a pavilion and said, "Celestial Emperor, there is a portal in the pavilion. After going through it, you will see the center of the formation. Due to my current situation, I can't accompany you inside."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Wait here." After saying that, he walked into the pavilion.
The old man hurriedly bowed and stood where he was obediently. About an hour later, he suddenly felt some changes, and he could not help but sigh. He knew that from this moment on, this place really did not belong to the Qi Accumulation Palace anymore.
The portal opened, and Zhang Yan walked out of it.
At this moment, he had already closed all the main offensive restrictive spells in the formation, leaving only the formation to maintain the spiritual vigor and the portal. Not only that, he had also expelled the divine will that had been left in the formation and transferred his own divine will into it. Now, any place in the Occult Orbs was unimpeded for him.
When he came out, he asked the old man again, "Where are the books in this place?"
The old man replied, "Celestial Emperor, they are kept in the Cave of Ancient Scriptures in the southeast."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and already knew the location. With a wave of his sleeve, he opened a portal and walked in. When he came out again, he was standing in a cave. The cave was spacious, but its shape was very special. From the top to the bottom, it was like a deep well. The highest point of the cave was thousands of feet high. The surface of the wall was polished and clean, and neatly cut into rows of caves, which were all filled with books and jade chips. Looking up, it extended all the way to the top.
With a flash of light, the old man also appeared next to him. As the spirit of the formation, as long as he was within the range of the formation, he could move freely. He walked up and pointed at a jade ball supported by a golden and bronze frame on a high platform in the middle. He said, "Celestial Emperor, with this magical item, you can read all the books in this place. You don't have to read them anymore."
Zhang Yan glanced at it and walked closer. He pressed his hand on it and transferred his magical power into it. The jade ball blossomed and immediately gave off a bright light. Then, countless words and pictures flashed in front of his eyes.
What was recorded in this Cave of Ancient Scriptures were mainly the mental cultivation methods of the Qi Accumulation Palace. Because the purpose of this place was to pass down the cultivation methods, even an ordinary person could read them.
However, what he saw in the beginning was only the most basic mental cultivation methods. Only by advancing to the next level could he use his Qi to activate this magical item and peek at the next level of cultivation methods.
Yang Chuan dared to hand this place over because he saw that the cultivators of the Nine Continents had their own inheritances. They wouldn't care about their own cultivation methods.
Just as he expected, Zhang Yan really didn't care about the cultivation methods of the Qi Accumulation Palace. He came here to see if he could find some valuable cultivation methods and magical powers. Although he wouldn't practice them, he could use them as reference to see if he could perfect his own Xuan cultivation. As for external herbs and precious materials, they wouldn't disappear even if they were placed here. He could collect them when he left.
For fifteen days, he stayed here and didn't go anywhere else. However, his gains were not small.
Just Now, his Qi Path cultivation was at the first level of the mortal metamorphosis realm. Although Kong Yin was the only one who reached the third level in the Jun Chen Realm, there were many who reached the second level. Not only were there the experiences and tricks left behind by the predecessors of the Qi Accumulation Palace, there were also the writings of cultivators from other sects.
After he finished reading through it, his eyes glowed brightly, and he felt that his path towards the Dao had become even clearer and wider. He believed that so long as he accumulated sufficient energy, then it wouldn't be difficult for him to step foot into this realm.
Originally, he was prepared to leave, but when he casually flipped through, he found that because the Qi Accumulation Palace was considered one of the oldest sects in Jun Chen Realm, other than the cultivation methods and secret records, there were many other things here. There were actually many jade slips that recorded the events that happened in the Lower Realm over the past hundreds of thousands of years, as well as many extraordinary people.
This piqued his interest. He looked at the sequence and realized that Jun Chen World's growth was really clear. There were no gaps at all.
And in this aspect, the Nine Continents were inferior. Even though the cultivators had existed for a longer time than the Jun Chen Realm, due to many changes, the ancient records were severely lacking. It was already extremely blurry to go back several tens of thousands of years, and if they went back further, there were only a few words.
And in these books, he unexpectedly found many records about guarding the Green Cave, especially the descriptions of the upper level cultivators at that time.
But he also noticed that there was something strange here. The things that were originally clear, but when it came to that Daoist Xi Wu, they would immediately become unclear, and there were even some parts that were contradictory.
Seeing this, he deduced that if this Daoist Xi Wu wasn't secretive and secretive, then this person had already broken through that barrier, and was above the past and the future. If this was the case, then when an ordinary cultivator recorded these things, it was very likely that there would be such a mess.
"If this is really the case, then if this person isn't in the Jun Chen Realm, then he has gone to another Void Space. Back then, Lord Yuhu also broke through the Void Space and left. He must have a place to go, otherwise he could only float in the Void Primordial Sea."
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt the Two Realms Dial on him move. He shook his sleeve and took it out. After a while, a spiritual light shone out, and Sima Quan's figure appeared. He bowed to him and said, "Daoist Zhang, I have come to an agreement with Rao Jifeng and Bei Xiangtong. They are willing to surrender to the Nine Continents, but the two of them want to meet you."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Order them to wait for me in the Middle Heaven Region of Yuliangism. After I deal with the matters here, I will go and meet them."
The Daoist Zhenren of the Nine Continents had yet to return. One reason was that they were here to collect the Clear Purple Spiritual Qi. The other reason was that there were still two Emperors that had yet to be dealt with.
If this matter was handled properly, then he could return to the Mountain and Sea Realm with peace of mind. Therefore, it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.
After giving instructions to Sima Quan, he put away some of the useful books, then called over the Formation Spirit and ordered it to bring him to the place where the precious materials and herbs were stored. When he arrived, he didn't look at them in detail. With a shake of his sleeve, he took them all, then opened the formation door and left the Occult Orb. He returned to the palace and sat down. Then, he activated his magic power and headed to the place where they had agreed to meet.
