After Zhang Yan bowed, he felt a huge amount of memory surging into his mind. He couldn't sort it all out, so he accepted it for now.
He knew that what he was seeing now should be a thought left behind by the Tai Ming Patriarch in the jade book. But just this alone gave him an unfathomable feeling. It was hard to imagine what level the Patriarch's cultivation had reached. Because of the difference in cultivation, they couldn't talk to each other. It was obvious that the Patriarch had expected this, which was why he made such arrangements.
In his senses, after a long time, his mind regained its clarity. He realized that he was back in the hall. Just Now, the scene of him arriving at the Void Primordial Sea was still vivid in his mind. But he couldn't tell if he had really arrived there or if it was just a change in his mind.
He sorted out his thoughts. The Patriarch told him that he had left something in the Void Space that could help the younger generation of disciples cultivate. There were people guarding the place, and if he wanted to, he could go and take it out.
He didn't deliberately think about it. With just a thought, he knew clearly where the Void Space was and how to find it.
He guessed that perhaps only by breaking through the Nine Barriers and completing the subsequent methods would the Patriarch's thoughts be triggered. It was also because of this that no one had noticed the profundity of it before.
But how difficult was this? Since the beginning of the Qincang School, he was the only one who could do it.
He pondered for a moment. That place was something he had to go to. Not to mention the fact that it was passed down by the Lei Cang Sect's founder, he couldn't ignore the item mentioned in the book that could aid in cultivation.
"Such an important matter, I need to inform the Sect Leader."
He looked at the jade book in his hand and put it away. Then, he left the Du Zhen Hall and went to the Floating Heavenly Palace's hall. When he arrived at the door, he sent a message and was called in.
When he entered the hall, he saw the Sect Leader. After bowing, he sat down and said, "Disciple came to see the Sect Leader for an important matter. Just Now, I was studying in the hall and heard the message left by the Patriarch."
When Sect Leader Qin heard this, he was slightly surprised.
Zhang Yan told him the process and took out the jade book. Sect Leader Qin waved his horsetail whisk and said, "I have seen this Past Method before. Since I didn't find it, it means I'm not fated with it. Don't look at it again."
Zhang Yan nodded and took it back. He said, "That thing was left by the Patriarch and is extremely important. We should go and get it. But this is Qincang School's matter. Disciple thinks that a few of us should go together, or the Sect Leader should go personally."
Sect Leader Qin slowly shook his head and said in a dignified voice, "Only Hall Master Du Zhen can see the thing passed down by the Patriarch. That is Hall Master Du Zhen's fated chance. Only the Patriarch can go there. It would be against the Patriarch's wish for others to take it." He took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it over. "This is my seal. If Hall Master Du Zhen can go there, you can take it with you."
. "Zhang Yan stood up from his seat and took it with a solemn face.
This was the seal of the Sect Leader, but the one in his hand was only a secondary seal. There were several of such seals in the sect, and the one in Qi Yuntian's hand could be used to wield authority when the Sect Leader was not around, but this one was used by the Sect for envoys. No matter who held it in his hand, the disciples of the Ying Cang Sect would feel like the Sect Leader had personally arrived outside the mountain gate.
After putting it in his sleeve, he sat down again and said, "According to the words left by the Patriarch, to go to that Void Space, I'm afraid it will not be a short journey. I don't know how many years it will take to go back and forth. Now that there is no definite news about Yunshu Realm, Disciple is ready to wait until there is a result before setting off."
Sect Leader Qin pondered for a moment and said, "This is not a small matter. The sooner you go, the better. I can ask the Sect to prepare some things for Hall Master Zhen. If there is a more powerful evil monster standing behind Yunshu Realm, it will be very difficult to deal with. If Hall Master Zhen can get the thing left by the Patriarch as soon as possible, it may be beneficial to the Nine Regions."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. At present, the Nine Regions had Ying Gui, the Big Kun, in charge. Even if he was not there, they would not be afraid of the cultivators of the third stage of the mortal metamorphosis realm. However, if there was an evil monster that was close to True Yang or had already reached this stage, they would not be able to resist it. And he had a vague feeling that the thing left by the Patriarch would not be that simple. Perhaps he could find a way to deal with such a powerful enemy.
This was the power of a sect with a profound inheritance. It was also the reason why Kong Ying was so afraid of the Nine Regions. Not only Qincang School, but for sects like Shaoqing, Mingquan, and even Yunxiao, it was difficult for outsiders to know where the Patriarch and the previous Ascended Patriarchs were, what realm they had reached, and when they would return. If they offended a powerful person, there was no need to ask what would happen.
He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will go back to prepare."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "If Hall Master Zhen needs anything, you can tell me. The Sect will fully support you."
Right when Zhang Yan activated that strand of will of the Great Underworld Founding Ancestor, countless enormous phantoms revolved around an innumerable cluster of stellar energy vortexes in the depths of the void, and they flowed like waterfalls while emitting a myriad of specks of light that rose and fell indeterminately.
One could see numerous large Kun that were like glass swimming freely within the sea of qi, whereas at the center of the cluster of stars was a cave constructed from crystal jade, and there was a completely round Darkstone that floated in midair within it.
Suddenly, the stone shook slightly. It was just a little movement, but with a buzz, it caused the countless restrictions around it to shake violently.
This naturally alarmed the guards outside. After a long time, the cave mansion opened, and a white-haired Daoren stepped in. He looked around in surprise, and then went forward to check again. He could confirm that there was indeed something strange Just Now. He looked at the Profound Stone again, but it was the same as before. There was no change at all.
He thought for a while and said to himself, "Could it be because of that?"
But he quickly denied this thought, or rather, he did not dare to think about it. He hesitated for a while and said, "Should I report to the Sect Leader? However, Junior Brother He and Celestial Maiden Han will be getting married in the next few days. I can't afford to make any careless mistakes at this time. Once that happens, I will have already given this item to her. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me. "
He took another look and finally decided to keep this matter a secret. He carefully retreated and closed the door of the cave.
After a few days, he heard the Profound Sound of Zhou Kongming, shaking the entire universe. The old Daoist walked out of the cave and looked back. He was a bit emotional, but also a bit disappointed. "After accepting this responsibility, I have guarded this cave for tens of thousands of years. After today, I can finally be free, and the duty of guarding the cave has come to an end in my generation."
He laughed at himself. "This is a good thing. Why should I be emotional?" He waved his sleeve and rose into the air. He rode the wind and left the continent, heading straight for the Cloud Sky Platform.
On the sky platform, the Sect Leader of Mount Luo, Master Xuan Hong's clone had already descended from the Sky Beyond Heaven. He stood on the second floor. From afar, one could only see a ball of dazzling golden light. No one could get close to him. He did not stand at the highest point because it was an empty position waiting for the Patriarch's position.
Below him were the ten Superior Zhenrens of the sect. These powerful people stood together. Clear Qi filled the sky and light covered the universe.
Among these people, there was a young Daoist with extraordinary grace and elegance. He was dressed in a Shengting Cave Spiritual Qi robe. His name was He Xianyin, and he was one of the main hosts today. He was the most handsome person among the younger generation of Xuan Hongtian.
Ancestor Cheng Tong of Jueyuan Heaven once praised him as "bright as the moon, shining brighter than the sun". This reputation was spread around the heavens and everyone knew about it.
The old Daoist priest guarding the cave flew over and bowed to everyone. He also stood still.
Master Xuan Hong looked over and said in a pleasant voice, "Zhenren Wan, is the xuan item left by the Patriarch safe and sound?"
Zhenren Wan hesitated slightly and said, "Everything is normal."
Master Xuan Hong nodded. He was just asking. After all, the xuan item had been there for many years without any movement. Even if there were any changes, it would not have happened in a day or two. He said, "Zhenren Wan, it's hard to guard the cave. But from today onwards, you can let go of this burden. When Junior Brother He and Goddess Han become dao companions, Xuan Hong Heaven and Chi Wang Heaven will be one family. In the future, the two of us will enter the Gate of Heaven together to answer to the Patriarch."
When Enlightened Master Wan heard this, he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Sect Master, please forgive this disciple for speaking nonsense. That item was originally left behind by the Patriarch for the person who obtained the opportunity. Although the deadline is approaching, it is not time yet. Should we wait a bit longer …"
"Zhenren Wan, what you said is wrong!"
A voice suddenly interrupted him. A handsome Taoist in his thirties with a beautiful beard that reached his chest walked out from the top of the stairs. He turned around and looked around. He said loudly on the stage, "When the Patriarch left this item, he said that if no one came to take it in a million years, we, Mount Luo, could deal with it ourselves. It has been a million years now, when have we seen the fated person?"
"Although it will take another thousand years for the time to come, but even if the divine object has an owner, it should be someone like Junior Brother He. After cultivating for three thousand years, he has already cut off his past and future body. Let me ask you, those scattered branches, who can compare to him? If he can't take it, who can? So, what's the harm in bringing it forward a little? "
His voice spread out in all directions. Not only were the people present present, but even the cultivators below the stage nodded in agreement. Many of them even revealed expressions of pride. Although there were a few people of the same generation who weren't convinced by He Xianyin's abilities, he represented the Luo Mountain Sect on this occasion, so they didn't hesitate to give him their praise.
Daoist Master Wan sighed, bowed, and retreated. He knew that the outcome had been decided and he could not change the decision made by the Sect Leader and the other Taoist Masters. However, he only spoke to remind them to fulfill his duty as a cave guard. Moreover, he did not believe that among the many orthodoxies passed down by the Patriarch, there was anyone of the same generation who could beat this amazing Junior Brother He.
Just at this moment, celestial music suddenly lingered in the sky. It was pleasing to the ears, and there were even streams of light in the sky, pulling the stars and trailing rainbows.
The Taoist with a beautiful beard turned around and nodded with a smile. "It's Goddess Han."
Everyone looked up and saw a myriad of golden flowers in the sky. Silver dazzled across the sky, and a five-cloud boat came riding on the Milky Way.
On the rooftop, He Xianyin took half a step forward, his eyes filled with anticipation.
This Goddess Han was the daughter of the Forgetful Heaven Lord Han Su. Her name was Han Xiaoruo. Rumor had it that with the help of her mother, she had experienced 914 reincarnations and finally became the Goddess of Innocence. This was equivalent to recreating the Dao of Heaven Lord Han in the past. Everyone in the heavens thought that she would be another Heaven Lord in the future. And today, this woman would become his Dao companion and study the Xuan item left behind by the Patriarch together. With this woman's help, he would definitely be able to understand the True Gate of Creation and step into the Supreme Gate of Heaven!
