In the Mountain and Sea Realm, in the Green Sky Hall, Zhang Yan stood on a branch of a towering tree, looking at the scenery around him through the sea of clouds.
This tree seed was obtained from the Tai Hao Sect. After it was planted here, it had been irrigated by vigorous spiritual vigor for hundreds of years. Now, it was tall and majestic. Its branches were strong and sturdy. A large piece of plain below was covered by its crown and leaves.
Due to the fact that the tree was extremely large and constantly exhaled clear spiritual energy, the demonic cultivators who had cultivated here were able to see the benefits of this place and decided to build a palace for Zhang Yan. Thus, they commanded numerous spirit birds and beasts to build temples and halls on the tree. After several hundred years, this place had become a magnificent palace with over a hundred large and small palaces.
It should be known that this place was different from the Palace of Purity Truth. This was a place that belonged to Zhang Yan alone. All the demons here who had developed spiritual intelligence were his servants and vassals in name.
And after he arrived, he usually stayed in the Palace of Seeing Chen, which was located at the highest point of the tree.
The Green Sky Hall was supported by the Heaven and Earth Fetus that he obtained from the original Dragon Residence. Over the years, it had nurtured many spirit mountains and beautiful rivers, and it had already formed a small world of its own. It did not need to be fed by the outside world.
In the past year, he had used his power to move the entire Green Sky Hall to the depths of the Void Sky, and collected the Purple Clear spiritual energy from outside.
Soon, he would go out to find the opportunity left behind by the Great Underworld Patriarch, and there was no Purple Clear spiritual energy in the Void Sea, so he had to prepare in advance, and the more the better.
However, no matter how one looked at it, the most suitable thing to carry was undoubtedly the Ziqing great medicine. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about this. Under Sect Leader Qin's orders, the offerings from Jun Chen Realm were all refined into great medicine and sent to the True Purification Hall. He didn't stand on ceremony and accepted all of them. Although this time he was looking for an opportunity for himself, if he succeeded, he could also protect the sect.
Suddenly, he heard the cries of cranes coming from the sky. He looked over and saw two red-crowned cranes with clean feathers and bright red heads appear on the top of the clouds. They circled around and landed on his left and right side. They moved closer to him and revealed an affectionate look.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly, stretched out his finger, and wrote a shallow inscription in the air, letting him comprehend it.
Although these two cranes had gained intelligence, they had yet to take human form. However, under his guidance these few days, they could already understand some of the ways of cultivation.
Not long after, many birds flew over, all of them hovering around him, letting out sweet bird cries. This time, he didn't make a move. Instead, he ordered the maidservant beside him to toss out some fragmented Spirit Pills for it to eat.
Over the past year, he had transformed these birds with the Nianjue. Although it had only been a short period of time, more than a hundred strange beasts had gained intelligence.
He didn't plan to leave these demonic beasts in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Instead, he planned to take them all with him, and use them as servants on the road. That way, he wouldn't have to do everything himself.
He glanced over, and couldn't help but reveal a look of interest. Among the flock of birds, there was a little green bird that hadn't been transformed by the Nianjue. At the moment, it was in the midst of the flock, pecking at the medicinal pills. All of the demonic birds here were recorded, but because they were so inconspicuous and nimble, and because they often hid behind larger birds, the maidservants who were feeding them hadn't noticed them.
He smiled faintly. This little green bird had clearly gained intelligence, and seemed to be very clever. After thinking for a moment, he said to one of the maidservants, "If this bird comes again in the future, don't drive it away."
The maidservant realized that she had made a mistake, and was a bit frightened. "Yes, Master," she said, "I'll take good care of it."
Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled. "There's no need to take good care of it, and there's no need to expose it. Just let it be, and see how far it can go in the future."
At his level of cultivation, he would pay extra attention to every single person or thing that appeared before him. He could faintly sense that he would have a series of interactions with them in the future, and it would develop into various fortuitous encounters and karma.
For example, this green bird in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he was able to divine all the possible changes that could occur in the future. If he deliberately avoided it, he could sever all interactions between them, and in the future, they would no longer be connected.
Now, he chose to keep it. He wanted to see whether or not the future would be the same as what he had predicted, and what kind of changes would occur in the future. However, this was also because the green bird was so lowly that it wasn't even worth mentioning in front of him. It wouldn't be able to cause any major changes in karma, so he decided to give it a try. If it were any other cultivator, things wouldn't be so simple.
By the same logic, if it were someone with greater strength than him and had come into contact with him, then if they were in the same space, then perhaps that person would be able to deduce his whereabouts. Of course, this would definitely not be easy, and it wouldn't be easy to accomplish. One would surely have to pay an extremely great price.
On the other hand, the person that completely severed the past and future might be able to escape from being spied on like this.
After these demon birds finished consuming the medicinal pills, they let out joyful cries before leaving the large branch and flying back to their nests. They were making the best use of this opportunity to refine the medicinal strength of the medicinal pills.
Zhang Yan looked at the little green bird that flew into the distance, and he pondered in his heart. If I call it back at this moment and pass down a profound technique to it, then what would happen? But as soon as this thought arose, he immediately felt many changes occur behind him, and then he extinguished this thought. Everything became clean once more, as if all the messy branches and vines had been severed, and for a time, he faintly comprehended something in his heart.
As he was pondering here, a cloud of mist came from afar and landed in front of him. As the mist dispersed, a green-clothed woman with wings on her back appeared. She seemed to be of a different species.
She came forward and kowtowed, then took out a letter from her pouch, raised it high, and said, "Master, Steward Jing has sent a letter. Would you like to take a look, Master?"
Zhang Yan focused his gaze, and the letter flew up and landed in his hand. He opened it and saw that it was about the Yunshu Realm. As he was going to travel far soon, he paid special attention to this realm.
Now that the initial discussion with the Yunshu Realm had been reached, not long ago, the Jun Chen Realm had dispatched 15 Perfected Lords. Of course, this number would be increased or decreased according to the changes in the battle situation.
Based on the current situation, the strength of this support was not small.
Because most of the spiritual opportunity of the Yunshu Realm had to be provided to that person, its own strength could not be fully expanded. Although it looked huge, it was actually not very sturdy. It was like an inflated bag that was empty inside. When it was poked from the outside, it would leak.
First of all, there was a lack of manpower, which directly caused this generation to be stretched thin. They could only take care of one thing, but not the other. Often, when they knew that a certain lower realm was attacked, they could not mobilize enough manpower to help.
And with the addition of more than ten Grotto-Heaven level cultivators, the situation was immediately stabilized. Even three lower realms were recovered, but that was all. Because if they continued to exert more strength, they would still face the same situation as before, unless they could mobilize more manpower from the Jun Chen Realm.
However, if the evil monsters were really as powerful as what Yang Shuangyi said, they would not retreat so easily, and there would definitely be another fierce battle.
Also, due to the contact between the two realms, a lot of news could not be hidden, and the existence of that person was gradually known by the Nine Continents.
Among them, the news from Yang Shuangyi was the most detailed. It was said that the treasure was originally floating in the Void Primordial Sea. Back then, the sect ancestors of these cultivators from the Yunshu Realm found it by accident. When they found that this treasure had the ability to land in the Delimitation Pass and divide the spiritual opportunity, they brought it back in ecstasy.
However, the divine treasure had a spirit. After they arranged everything, they realized that they could not leave this person, so they could only compromise for the time being. At that time, the forces of these sects in the Yunshu Realm were far stronger than they were now, so they were also looking for ways to restrain this person. However, before they could really succeed, the evil monsters came to them. After a great battle between both sides, these cultivators were defeated, and the remaining people withdrew with this treasure. In the end, they reached the Yunshu Realm, and under its guidance, they opened up many lower realms and established a foothold until now.
Zhang Yan looked at it and felt that the incident of the evil monster's arrival must have had something to do with this treasure. He thought to himself, "Looks like this person is not in control of his master, we need to be more cautious."
He could see that, and he believed that the sect master could also make the correct judgment, so he did not make any further suggestions. As long as he could get the opportunity left by the Patriarch, he believed that there would be a way to solve all these problems.
After skimming over this matter, there were still some details written in the letter. After reading all of them, he returned to the hall to cultivate.
Although it was better to set off as early as possible, he still needed to be fully prepared, especially with a suitable vehicle.
Although the palace flying ships from before were not bad, after the Nine Continents obtained the secret books of Jun Chen Realm, and combined with the original method of Bu Tian Pavilion, their sacrificial refining method had greatly improved. Therefore, Bao Yang Courtyard and Fang Chen Courtyard had already prepared to work together to build a ship for him to fly across the void sea of essence. According to the current progress, it would be completed in about two years.
As for the magic treasure that was being refined in the Xuanyuan Small World's Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron, after some consideration, he decided to temporarily leave this world here, and leave the subsequent sacrificial refining to Mountain River Child and the five Heavenly Grotto-Heaven disciples. After all, he had already started, and every step was guided by Bu Tian Pavilion, so he only needed to do it step by step. The power of these disciples was enough to just look after it. Also, sacrificial refining such a treasure required a long period of time. It was possible that when he came back, the sacrificial refining would not be completed.
Without the Xuanyuan Small World, it seemed like he had lost a way to retreat, but for those who cultivated to Mortal Metamorphosis, logically speaking, there was no limit to the number of small worlds that could be opened. He could open another one when he reached another world.
This time, he did not plan to directly go to the world pointed out by the Patriarch. Instead, he planned to first go to the world where he sensed the Dao Root Fruit of Strength, so that his cultivation of strength would be complete.
In his opinion, the Great Underworld Patriarch definitely had his own considerations when he placed the item there, and let the younger generation disciples take it. This part of the journey would not be simple, and it might even be a test. Therefore, the higher his strength, the better. Only then would he be able to deal with all kinds of dangerous situations.
