After Zhang Yan sent Taoist Qiu away, he inquired about the 'Bi An Sect' in the Yin Book using karma points as a reward. Only on the second day did someone accept the karma points. At the same time, some information about this sect appeared in the book.
The "Bi An Sect" did exist, but it was originally a small sect in a corner of the Leaf Sea Sky. Perhaps because it rarely interacted with the outside world, neither the Luo Mountain Monastery nor the Tanbo Sect had any accurate records about it, so he had no way to know about it.
The sect had gradually prospered over the past thousand years. In the process of its rise, it had annexed all the surrounding sects, and in the past hundred years, its power had once again grown by leaps and bounds, becoming a large sect comparable to the Milky Lake Sect when it was at its peak.
If a sect was originally a small sect, it was possible for it to rise after obtaining a certain magic treasure or inheritance from a Taoist palace. However, the further one went, the narrower the path would be. If one wanted to become a large sect like that, they either had a deep foundation or inherited the legacy of another large sect.
If it was neither of the above, then there was another possibility, and that was that there was another force behind it.
If this was really the case, then there had to be a purpose behind it.
It could be seen that this sect cared about the name of the Great Underworld Patriarch. In the past, it would be useless to fight for this title, but the situation was different now. There was still a thousand years to go, and if no one could obtain the Xuan Stone, it would become an object without a master. However, everything was justified, and there was no doubt that the descendants of the Great Underworld Patriarch were more qualified to obtain it.
Since they had appeared at this time, it was very likely that they had come for this divine object.
If this was really the case, then to ensure that their plan would go smoothly, would they come to attack him? This was not impossible, and to be able to support a remote sect into a large sect in such a short period of time, this force was clearly extremely powerful.
After carefully considering the pros and cons, Zhang Yan finally decided to intervene in this matter. It was not just to stand up for the Mai Jue Sect, but also for his own sake. Even if the final result was different from what he had expected, there would be no loss.
Thus, with a command, a servant immediately went to invite Qiu Zhongxian over.
Not long after, Qiu Zhongxian was brought into the hall. In front of the stairs, he bowed and said, "This little Daoist pays his respects to Zhang Shangzhen."
At this moment, he was feeling very uneasy. If he couldn't get any help here, he didn't know what to do. Perhaps the only path he could take was to submit to the Cold Chill Sect.
Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, the 'Bi An Sect' had previously besieged fellow Daoist Mi Ze Sect's mountain gate and was later driven away by I. I didn't expect that they would come to cause trouble at fellow Daoists elsewhere. I can't ignore this matter, but Ye Haitian is guarded by the Heavenly Lord. If I want to go there, I need you to inform the Heavenly Lord of the realm first."
Perhaps the Heavenly Master would not care if an ordinary cultivator entered the Page Sea Sky, but at his level of cultivation, he could single-handedly affect the direction of the world if the Heavenly Master did not appear. Therefore, when going to the Heavenly Master's territory, it was necessary to inform the Heavenly Master in advance. This was not only out of courtesy, but also for convenience.
When Qiu Zhongxian heard that Zhang Yan was willing to help, he was happy at first, but then he felt a little awkward. Meishue Sect was only a small sect, and the highest cultivation level in the sect was only at the Yuanying level. The other sects were also close, so where could he go to inform the high and mighty Heavenly Master?
He hesitated for a while and said, "Shangzhen, I am really ashamed. My small sect is weak and humble, so I can't inform the Heavenly Master of Shangzhen's arrival."
Zhang Yan smiled, waved his sleeve, and a talisman fell down. He said, "When you return, just bring this talisman book to the realm."
Qiu Zhongxian came to a realization, and said, "So Shangzhen already has a plan, I am ashamed."
He hesitated for a while, and took out a tortoise shell from his sleeve. He raised his hands and raised it above his head, and said, "Shangzhen, this is a treasure of my sect. Rumor has it that it was obtained from a cave abode of the Great Underworld Master. Before leaving, the sect master said that if anyone helps, this item will be given to them. Now that Shangzhen is willing to help, we, a small sect, have nothing to repay, so we can only offer this item to Shangzhen."
When Zhang Yan heard that this item was left by the Great Underworld Master, he was instantly interested. He used his mana to take it over, and after a few glances, he saw a few deep patterns carved on the shell, and it seemed to contain some kind of abstruse wisdom. However, he could not understand it at the moment, so he kept it, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, you can return to the realm first. After you send the letter, I will make arrangements."
Qiu Zhongxian clasped his hands in gratitude, and left. When he reached the cave room, he said to the two disciples, "Pack up and follow me back to the sect."
The two female disciples came up, and said, "Teacher, is there any progress?"
Qiu Zhongxian sighed, "Zhang Shang Zhen is indeed the successor of the Great Underworld Master, he is much better than Xuan Hongtian and the others."
The two female disciples could not believe it, and asked in unison, "Zhang Shang Zhen agreed?
Qiu Zhongxian nodded, "Of course." In a few words, he told them about the situation in the hall Just Now.
When the two female disciples heard this, they both cheered happily. However, after a while, one of them became worried and said in a low voice, "Teacher gave the Mystic Tortoise Shell to Zhang Shang Zhen. Zhang Shang Zhen will take it, but he won't go to the Inner World …"
Qiu Zhongxian's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Be careful with your words!"
Seeing this, the female disciple's face turned pale, and she said with grievance, "Teacher …"
Qiu Zhongxian took a deep breath, and he said seriously, "You must remember not to say these things in the future. Since a great cultivator like Zhang Shang Zhen has made a promise, he will not go back on it."
The two female disciples nodded, and they did not dare to say anything else.
Qiu Zhongxian was afraid that the disciples would say something they shouldn't, and he was in a hurry to go back to report this matter. After a while, he left the spiritual boat with the two female disciples and returned to the realm.
In the hall, Zhang Yan flipped the tortoise shell in his hand. Only those who had reached a certain realm would be attracted by the patterns on it, and he was no exception. However, when he looked at it again, he found that there was a faint aura lingering on it. This aura was as deep as the void, vast and boundless. It seemed that this was where the mysteries of the tortoise shell lay.
However, he had been guided by Great Underworld Patriarch's intent, so he knew that this aura was not left behind by this patriarch. He couldn't help but think, "Qiu Zhongxian doesn't dare to lie about matters involving the patriarch, so who does this aura belong to?"
However, with Great Underworld Patriarch's cultivation, there must be some deep meaning for him to leave this thing in the Universal Heavens, so he didn't dare to underestimate it. After thinking about it, he carefully accepted it. After that, he pointed a finger at himself. A ray of light flashed, and a clone walked out. The clone was connected to his mind, so it knew what it should do. It bowed to him and then turned into a ray of light, disappearing without a trace.
After doing this, he waved his sleeve, and the spiritual boat passed through the square gate in front of him.
Half a month later, in a hidden realm in the Universal Heavens, three grand lights shone down. Each person's face was hard to distinguish, and only their silhouettes could be seen.
The person in the east looked around, and he asked the person in the north, "Heavenly Lord Jueyuan, Heavenly Lord Zhu Zhu didn't come?"
Heavenly Lord Jueyuan said slowly, "It's said that he has something to do, so it's difficult for him to come here."
The person in the west said, "It doesn't matter if one person is missing. The Green Jade Palace is probably watching Heavenly Lord Zhu Zhu, so it's not good to move."
Heavenly Lord Jueyuan looked at the two and said, "Don't you think it's strange? The Green Jade Palace's rules have always been strict and unreasonable. Even if you're a Heavenly Lord of a realm, if you cross the line, you'll still be punished, sealed, or stripped of your magic power. But now that we've committed a crime, they didn't come to ask about it, which is very inconsistent with their usual behavior. I have to ask, why are they doing this? "
The two at the side didn't speak immediately. They were also thinking about this matter.
The Green Jade Palace had always been unyielding, but they suddenly gave in. This made people wonder whether the Green Jade Palace didn't want to investigate further, or they didn't have the strength to do so.
If that was the case, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. But in the past few hundred years, there had been a rumor that the True Yang Almighty was no longer in the Green Jade Palace. Before he left, he left a message in the palace, saying, "If there's a master in all realms, it's not just the Green Jade Palace." This was clearly saying that the master of all realms didn't have to be in the Green Jade Palace. If they were capable enough, they could live there. But it was said that after the Green Jade Palace disciple heard this, he didn't say anything about it, and tried to maintain his position.
Ever since the news spread, it had caused some sects to become restless. Although the heavens regarded the Qinghua Heavens as the true master, it was only because of this supreme expert. If this person was not present, even if the palace was still incomparably powerful, it would be impossible for it to subdue the heavens like in the past.
They used all kinds of methods to investigate the origin of this rumor, but to no avail. But this proved that the origin of this rumor was not ordinary, and it was very likely that it came from the Green Jade Palace!
The person on the east corner said, "This is a serious matter, and we need to be extremely cautious. I think that the previous probing was not enough, and we need to pressure the Green Jade Palace."
The person on the west corner suddenly said, "In fact, Heavenly Lord Zhu Zhu is the most suitable person."
The other two thought about it and nodded. Ju Yu didn't hide his attack at all. If he did it again, and the Green Jade Palace could bear with it, although it couldn't prove the rumor, it meant that something had changed in the Green Jade Palace. This was very helpful for them to judge the situation.
Heavenly Lord Jueyuan shook his head. "This is too risky. Heavenly Lord Zhu Zhu dared to do it once, but he might not dare to do it again."
The person on the west corner smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, someone will persuade him."
The person on the east corner asked curiously, "Does Heavenly Lord Huo An know something?"
Huo An Heavenly Lord said, "Not long ago, I received news that Spiritual Master Tang of the Green Jade Palace had run out of the palace for some unknown reason. Everyone, don't forget that her own son died at the hands of Daoist Zhang. She alone might not be able to avenge this enmity. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll surely head to Zhu Zhutian to look for help. In this way, we just have to wait here for the outcome."
