After Zhang Yan returned to Tanbo Sect, he did not pay attention to the disturbances outside and continued to deduce the unfinished cultivation method.
He was already close to the final juncture, and this time, he focused all his attention on it. It only took him two months to complete it. Not only that, but even his own Taixuan True Technique had greater gains, and his understanding of its changes had deepened.
At this step, the feeling from last time had appeared again, but this time it was different. It seemed that as long as he thought about it, he could see a magical technique.
He thought about it. Although the Taixuan True Technique was deduced by himself, it was still an evolution from the Taixuan Sect. There was an inseparable connection between the two, and the feeling he had was likely a legacy left behind by the mighty figures of the Taixuan Sect for their descendants. Perhaps all the descendants of the Taixuan Sect who had cultivated to this level could come into contact with it.
If he chose to accept it at this moment, he might be involved, but it could also bring trouble. The best result here was nothing more than obtaining a cultivation method, but the other side was likely to notice his existence, which would bring unpredictable risks.
But now, with the Patriarch's divine item in front of him, he did not need to do this at all. He only needed to improve his strength step by step. Therefore, in his cultivation, he deliberately avoided that place and decided to wait until the appropriate time in the future to come into contact with it.
He raised his hand, and a beam of spiritual light shot out, recording the cultivation method in a jade scroll. He then waved his sleeve and came out of seclusion. He stepped into the matrix door and came to where Zhenren Tongguang was cultivating. At the door, someone reported to him, and not long after, the guard came back and said, "The sect leader invites Zhang Shang Zhen inside."
Zhang Yan nodded and stepped on a jade wave. In an instant, his body merged with the water, and after a few turns, he reappeared above a river. He looked up and saw Taoist Tongguang waiting there. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Taoist Tongguang."
Taoist Tongguang returned the greeting and invited him into the inner room. After they sat down, he said with a smile, "A few days ago, I saw the Spirit Pool slowly surging, and clear light sprinkling down. This is a great auspicious sign, and I am afraid it will fall on you."
Zhang Yan smiled and took out the jade scroll. He handed it over with both hands and said, "I did not disappoint you."
Taoist Tongguang's expression became serious. He stood up from his seat and took it with both hands. He returned to his seat, and his consciousness turned inside. He read the cultivation method once, and his eyes could not help but reveal a look of joy. He nodded and said, "Wonderful, wonderful."
The cultivation method that Zhang Yan evolved paid special attention to the foundation, but it did not have a high requirement for aptitude at the beginning. The threshold was much lower than other cultivation methods. However, this did not mean that this cultivation method was not brilliant. Instead, it went from shallow to deep. As long as one had enough patience and perseverance to cultivate, they would not achieve great results, but at least their cultivation would not be too low. The most important point was that this cultivation method was of the same origin as the cultivation methods of Tanbo Sect. When the disciples cultivated halfway, even if they switched to other cultivation methods, there would not be any hindrance, and the choices they had would be much greater.
Taoist Tongguang praised, "Just this one cultivation method can make a sect flourish."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Tongguang is too kind."
He was able to do this because the cultivation methods of the Tanbo Sect were rare to begin with. There were only a few left and right, and they were all of similar attributes. If it were the five skills of the Qi Cang Sect, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.
Taoist Tongguang was in a good mood and said, "Daoist Zhang, there is no need to be modest. With this cultivation method, the future path of my Tanbo Sect's disciples will be greatly broadened. My sect is indebted to you."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since this matter is done, I will also take my leave."
Taoist Tongguang urged, "The waves outside have not calmed down, why don't Daoist Zhang stay a few more days?"
Zhang Yan said, "There is no need. Now that the outside world knows that I am in Tanbo Sect, I am afraid that staying will bring trouble to your side."
Taoist Tongguang smiled and said, "My Tanbo Sect also has the protection of the talisman left by the founder, so we are not afraid of external enemies. However, I see that Daoist Zhang has other plans. Since you have decided to leave, then I will not stay any longer." He reached into his sleeve and took out a Jade Talisman. He handed it over, "If Daoist Zhang needs anything in the future, just bring this item to me. My Tanbo Sect will definitely help."
Zhang Yan accepted it gladly, thanked him, and got up to leave.
After coming out of the cave abode, he went back to make some preparations. On the second day, he set off for Qinghua Heaven.
Taoist Tongguang came to send him off on the orders of Taoist Tongguang. He said, "Daoist Zhang, how do you want to deal with the Luoshan Monastery's betrayal?"
Zhang Yan said concisely, "The time is not right."
Taoist Tongguang immediately had a plan. He said, "Ju Rong spread the news of you being the owner of the divine object, which is very disadvantageous to Daoist Zhang. Perhaps someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes."
Zhang Yan understood that Ju Rong hinted that he was the owner of the divine object in front of everyone. This was actually harboring evil intentions. It would definitely attract many people to covet him or use him to achieve some kind of goal. Taoist Tongguang's worry was not without reason.
However, he didn't care. If this matter was known by outsiders, many people would have designs on him. But with the Great Underworld Patriarch's guidance, it was actually beneficial for him to do things in the future.
Right now, he didn't plan to retrieve the object. For the time being, no one would get it. But when he was strong enough, he wouldn't have to worry about these things anymore.
Before that, Luoshan Monastery would look after the divine object for him, so he didn't have to worry about it being lost at all.
After bidding farewell to Tongguang, he walked to the front of the Sky-Scraping Spirit Boat. Ren Ji was already waiting there. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple greets Shang Zhen."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Follow me onto the boat."
Ren Ji nodded and followed. Just Now, when he stepped into the boat, he was surprised to find that it was a vast world. There were mountains in the distance, and there were beasts on the plains. If he didn't know that he was inside the boat, he would have thought that he was in a small world.
Zhang Yan said, "Your cultivation level is still low. You have to focus on the cultivation technique I passed down to you."
Ren Ji replied seriously, "Disciple has been diligent in cultivation every day. I have never slacked off."
He was a rogue cultivator, and he usually had to pay many times more than the disciples of the sects in order to obtain external objects and techniques. Now that he was able to follow by the side of an almighty being, how could he not cherish this kind of opportunity?
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "You have a strong will and indomitable spirit. This is why I chose you. Go. If there's anything, someone will call you."
At this moment, a maid came up and said, "Perfected One, please follow me."
Ren Ji bowed to Zhang Yan again and left with the maid.
Zhang Yan returned to the inner chamber and drove the Sky-Scraping Boat toward the Myriad Empty Realm Ring. He purposely hid the boat and all his aura so that his whereabouts wouldn't be discovered by others and cause unnecessary trouble.
After a while, the boat approached the Myriad Empty Realm Ring. Now that he was here, he couldn't go there silently anymore. However, he didn't need to hide anymore.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that no matter whether it was the people or the objects around him, everything had suddenly stopped moving. They maintained the same motion, and it was as if they were embedded in a painting.
At the same time, an aura enveloped him. This wasn't the first time he had encountered this aura. It had appeared when he was fighting Ju Rong that day.
He looked up and saw a Daoist appearing in front of the boat.
He thought for a moment and appeared from the boat. He put his sleeves behind his back and said, "Which Daoist is here?"
The Daoist bowed and replied, "Zhang Shangzhen, I am a disciple of Xuan Yang Heaven's Heavenly Lord. Now that Shangzhen wishes to leave my place, I have come under the Heavenly Lord's orders to give Shangzhen a gift."
He raised his hand and a jade leaf flew over.
Zhang Yan took it and saw that there was a strand of consciousness on it. When he swept it down, the jade leaf shattered. His eyes flashed and he looked up. He said, "Please help me thank Xuan Yang Heaven Lord for his kindness."
The Daoist bowed again and turned to leave. Soon, he disappeared.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and returned to the boat. He activated his mana and turned into a beam of clear light, flying into the realm ring.
The moment he left, everything in the Myriad Empty Realm Ring returned to normal. Just Now, no one noticed what happened.
Holding Wang Tian, Tribulation Heart Cave.
Heavenly Daughter Han Xiaoruo wore a white gauze gown with no accessories. She stood on a pure jade crystal platform and spoke to a rainbow-colored beam of light. "Mother, since that person is the true master of the divine item, if we plan a trap, we might be able to obtain the divine item through this person."
A slim figure appeared in the rainbow and said, "It's not a good time to get in touch with Daoist Zhang."
Han Xiaoruo was puzzled. "Mother, why? Everyone is getting restless and has their own plans. Even if Daoist Zhang is powerful, he's only one person. If I'm late, the god item might fall into someone else's hands. "
The figure in the rainbow said, "It's not that simple. Before Zhang Shangzhen gets the god item, we can't do anything."
Han Xiaoruo was reluctant and said, "Mother …"
The figure in the rainbow light waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "My son, you need to know that the divine item left behind by the Great Underworld Ancestral Master is rumored to be able to help one reach that realm. However, if someone can really reach that realm, the Green Jade Palace might not ignore it."
Han Xiaoxiao's heart trembled, and she suddenly realized that the Palace Master of Green Jade Palace was at the peak of all heavens, and as the only True Yang Almighty, he might not wish for another person of the same generation to appear in the heavens.
This was a very simple logic, but before she was reminded, she didn't even have the slightest thought of thinking about this. This was an extremely abnormal situation, as if someone had deliberately concealed her consciousness. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and she said with a trembling voice, "Mother …"
A voice came from the rainbow again. "You don't need to be afraid. In the eyes of that person, you and I are so insignificant. He won't deliberately target us, but you need to know when to stop. At this time, you can't be the one to take the lead. You just need to quietly wait for fate and the fate."
Han Xiaoruo realized that the situation was too deep. It wasn't time for her to get involved. Thus, she knelt and said, "I will obey Mother's orders."
