Zhang Yi walked calmly along a clean and tidy corridor. The attendants in the hall bowed respectfully when they saw him passing by.
Although the Xuanliu Heavenly Palace was destroyed, Yang Chuan and the others were afraid that the Qi Accumulation Palace would be destroyed. Long before the battle, they had arranged for their disciples to lead all the cultivators in the palace to retreat to the remote heavenly regions.
Although it was a remote palace, the Qi Accumulation Palace had a deep foundation. The materials accumulated here were enough to support the cultivators who escaped to this place to cultivate for hundreds of years.
However, several years had passed, and there was still no news from Yang Chuan and the others. In fact, the Perfected Lord of the palace had long known the result from the means left behind by the four Emperors. However, he was afraid that the people would be disturbed, so he worked together to hide the news.
When Kong Ying died, the Jade Liang Order fell apart. However, the Qi-accumulating Palace had been passed down for a long time. The upper and lower levels of the palace were maintained by reasonable rules, and did not rely on things like the Jade of Knowledge that went against the human heart. Although the lower-level disciples in the palace were anxious, because they did not know the news from the upper levels, they did not see anyone attacking them. Therefore, they had always been very stable.
Formal disciples like Zhang Yi, on the other hand, had the right to know the truth. After all, the Perfected Lord was high above them. The ones in charge of the secular affairs were the Yuanying cultivators like them. They could not do anything if they were not informed.
At this moment, he stopped in front of a tall palace door. A child came up and bowed. "Why are you here?"
Zhang Yi bowed and said, "Emissary of Law Zhang Yi is here on orders. Please inform the Perfected Lord." As he spoke, he took out a talisman and handed it over.
The child recognized the talisman and took it. "Please wait for a moment, Emissary." He then turned into the door, but after a while, he came out again. "Emissary, the Perfected Lord is calling for you."
Zhang Yi walked into the inner hall and saw an elegant Daoist who was not wearing a hat or belt. This was the third disciple of Jiang Cang. He was the one who kept the whole Qi Accumulation Palace in check. He was also the person Zhang Yi had previously worshipped. He came up and bowed. "Emissary of Law Zhang Yi greets Perfected Lord Jiang."
There was a tinge of worry in True Lord Jiang's expression, but he quickly concealed it and said amiably, "Envoy Xuan Fa, can we have a seat at the side and talk?"
Zhang Yi did not have a direct master-disciple relationship with this person. In terms of seniority, all the official disciples were considered Dao officials under the Palace Master before they were formally acknowledged as their master. Therefore, he did not stand on ceremony. After thanking him, he went to take a seat at the side.
True Lord Jiang glanced at Zhang Yi. He had carefully flipped through Zhang Yi's martial arts manuals and found that this disciple was not only a core disciple, but also a core disciple. Ever since he entered the main heaven realm, everything he did was a test, and his cultivation progress was also very fast. This was not easy, so True Lord Jiang admired him and said, "Zhang Yi, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Zhang Yi stood up from his seat and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your kind intentions, True Monarch. This disciple has no intention of changing sects. I hope True Monarch will forgive me."
True Lord Jiang sighed and said, "It doesn't matter. I've also crossed the line. Take a seat."
He was not angry. If a core disciple's cultivation progress increased in the future, according to the rules, his status in the future would not be lower than his. If not for the fact that the Imperial Emperors were not present, he would not have asked such a question.
Zhang Yi did not want to dwell on this issue. After sitting down, he asked, "True Lord, do you have any instructions for this disciple?"
True Lord Jiang's tone was solemn. "Palace Master Yang and the others are missing. I believe you already know?"
Zhang Yi replied, "Yes, this disciple has also heard a little."
True Lord Jiang said with a mocking tone, "Nowadays, many True Monarchs in the palace are afraid that the cultivators of the nine continents will come looking for them, so they have secretly left the palace to avoid the disaster. It's just that it's fine for them to leave on their own, but they also brought their disciples with them, causing many areas to be unguarded."
Zhang Yi touched his sleeves and said, "Let's not talk about them. This disciple is also worried."
True Lord Jiang shook his head and said, "Why would such powerful cultivators come to make things difficult for us? Back then, Kong Ying was defeated, and I have not seen the cultivators of the nine continents do anything to Yuliangism. I thought that this place would be free of worries for at least twenty to thirty years. "
Zhang Yi nodded inwardly. True Lord Jiang's judgment was correct. The people of the nine continents would really not bother with them. As for the specific matters, they would arrange for the cultivators of the sect to come and deal with them in the future.
True Lord Jiang said again, "These twenty to thirty years are an opportunity. I want to go into seclusion and seek the fruits of my cultivation. If I succeed, I can bring my disciples far away and accumulate strength in secret, waiting for the battle in the future."
Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat. "True Lord, you want to go into seclusion? Are you confident about this? "
True Lord Jiang sighed. "There is no guarantee of success. I will not hide it from you. This time, six True Monarchs will go into seclusion together. As long as one of them succeeds, this can be done. After we go into seclusion, the affairs of the palace will depend on you. Zhang Yi, I know that you are very reliable. Do not disappoint us." At the end, his tone became stern.
Zhang Yi bowed his head and said, "I will definitely do my best."
True Lord Jiang looked at him for a moment and said, "Other than you, there are a few other people in the palace. I know that you will not be able to handle everything alone, so I handed a few talismans to your Senior Martial Brother Jiang and Senior Martial Brother Qu. If you encounter any difficult matters, you can ask them for help."
Zhang Yi knew that because he was not True Lord Jiang's direct disciple, this person did not really trust him. It was just that True Lord Jiang's way of dealing with mundane matters was impressive, and no one in the palace could compare to him at the moment. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to rely on him. As for handing over the talismans to someone, it was half a deterrent and half a warning. The key was to ask him to do his job well and not have any ulterior motives.
If he was really a direct disciple of the Qi Accumulation Palace, perhaps he would have no choice but to obey. But now? He sneered inwardly and replied, "I will remember that. If there's anything, I will ask the two Senior Martial Brothers to make the decision."
"Mm." True Lord Jiang was very satisfied with his attitude. He said, "Do your job well. Although the Qi Accumulation Palace is facing a crisis now, I still have the Occult Orbs to rely on. It's not like I have no way out. If I lay low for hundreds or even thousands of years, I will have the strength to be taken seriously by the cultivators of the nine continents."
How could Zhang Yi not understand that he was just trying to comfort him? He could not be taken seriously. With the resources of the nine continents, they would only become stronger after hundreds of years. Even if Kong Yin came back to life, he might not be a match for True Lord Jiang. However, on the surface, he put on an excited expression and said, "I understand."
True Lord Jiang waved his sleeves and said, "You may leave now."
At this moment, Zhang Yi said, "When I was patrolling, someone came to me with an item. I saw that it was extraordinary and felt that it would be inappropriate to keep it with me, so I could only offer it to you, True Lord."
True Lord Jiang smiled. How could a disciple have anything good in his hands? However, this was a token of his sincerity, so he could not refuse it. He smiled and said, "Just put it there."
Zhang Yi took out a jade box, took a few steps forward, and placed it on the flat table in front of him. Then, he cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave."
He slowly retreated, but after he walked out of the hall, he stood there without moving.
The gatekeeper boy could not help but ask curiously, "Envoy Xuan Fa, are you not leaving?"
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "True Lord, I have something to discuss with you later. I will wait here."
The boy was a little confused, but he did not ask too much. He looked at the door and retreated to the side to guard it.
True Lord Jiang did not pay much attention to the jade box at first, but after a few glances, he let out a cry of surprise. There were several etched runes on the box, and he could not decipher them. Instantly, he realized that this thing was probably not simple, and he became a little more curious about what was inside.
He reached out and opened it, revealing a pearl inside. At first glance, it looked smooth and bright, but after a few more glances, he found that there was a dragon shadow moving around inside.
His heart moved, and he reached out to pick it up. However, at this moment, the pearl suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke and burrowed into his Qi orifice.
"Not good!"
His heart palpitated, and he knew that this was not a good thing. He hurriedly used his mana to defend himself, but it was already too late. He felt dizzy, as if he was about to fall asleep, but even though he knew that he could not do so, he could not stay awake, and gradually fell into a daze.
Zhang Yi waited for less than an hour before he heard a voice from inside the door. "Zhang Yi, come in and talk."
He nodded at the boy and walked into the door again. He cupped his hands and bowed to the person sitting on the seat. "Did Sage Sima succeed?"
At this moment, True Lord Jiang had been replaced by Sima Quan. He chuckled and said, "Although this person's cultivation is high, his heart is full of worries and worries. He is worried about personal gains and losses, and does not have the determination to fight with all his might. Sima dares to say that even if he goes into seclusion, he will not be able to reach the upper realm."
After so many years in Jun Chen Realm, his strength had greatly increased. This time, he caught the other party off guard, which was why he was able to succeed in one strike. If not for that, he would not have been able to take down this person.
Zhang Yi said, "This person, True Lord Jiang, controls everything in the palace. Sage, if you take over this person's body, you will be able to control the palace. As for those who are in seclusion, if one of them breaks out of seclusion, they will inevitably hinder my plans. I hope that Sage Sima can use demonic qi to infect them or simply get rid of them. This way, there will be nothing wrong with the Qi Accumulation Palace, and I will be able to answer to the Sage."
Although the ordinary cultivators of the nine continents would not come to deal with the lower generation cultivators of the Qi Accumulation Palace, they would not leave them alone. Therefore, Zhang Yan had already ordered Sima Quan and Zhang Yi to work together and think of a way to control this palace, so that it would be convenient for the cultivators of the nine continents to take over. Therefore, the two of them had made this plan.
Sima Quan said, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would still have to deal with this person. However, I managed to obtain some useful information from this person's memories. It seems to be related to the treasure in this palace. It's quite interesting."
After Zhang Yan left Yuliang Middle Heaven Region, he used the help of the Dao of Formations to return to the territory of the Qi Accumulation Palace.
The group of Zhenrens also returned from the Void Sky one after another. When everyone had gathered, he told them about Rao and Bei. After a round of discussion, they all agreed that they could accept the two of them as their subordinates, but they could not leave them alone in this world. They had to bring them back to the realm and wait until the Jun Chen Realm was completely pacified before thinking about what to do next.
As for how to make the Jun Chen Realm a lower realm, because of the huge implications, they still needed to mobilize many disciples. They decided to go back and summon the people of the Heaven's Abode to discuss it together.
After the discussion, Sect Leader Qin said to Zhang Yan, "Hall Master Du Zhen, you can summon the two of them now. When they arrive, we will return to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
