On the altar, the array door opened wide. As the light rotated and stretched, Zhang Yan's avatar walked out.
Ever since he was separated from the real body, he had been staying in the Imperial Edict Golden Hall. Half a month ago, he received the Dragon God's letter and knew that he could enter the realm without any hindrance. Just Now, he was here.
At this moment, it was night time. He turned around and saw that the altar he was standing on was built on top of a towering cliff. A crescent moon hung in the sky, and below it, waves roiled and rose and fell, forming a boundless ocean.
This was Ye Hai Tian. It was surrounded by hundreds of oceans and there were very few continents. The Lord of this realm was a Dragon God and he usually lived in the cave abode under the sea.
This was also the place where Tai Ming Patriarch stayed for the longest time. He taught Dao here several times. Therefore, in this realm, there were many sects that worshipped him as their patriarch.
There was a Daoist guard on the altar. He walked forward and bowed, saying, "Is this your first time in Ye Hai Tian? I have a map for you. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to get a map elsewhere. Why did you take the initiative to give it to me when it's your turn?"
The Daoist guard smiled and said, "You may not know this, but there are very few living creatures in Ye Hai Tian. It's not suitable for gathering spiritual vigor. Unlike other realms, there are very few Daoists here. However, the aquatic demons here are very thirsty for the elixirs and instruments that we use. They are very eager for Daoists to visit their cave abodes. Therefore, they asked me to give these maps to the Daoist friends and Great Deities who are passing by."
Zhang Yan took a look and nodded. He waved his sleeves and kept the map. Although Qiu Zhongxian from Mai Jue Sect had given him a geographical map, it was only a map of the land. It did not include the tribes under the sea. With this map, he could make up for it.
He identified the direction and flew in the direction of Mai Jue Sect.
After traveling on the sea for two days, a continent appeared in front of him. However, the terrain was broken. It looked like a patchwork of islands of different sizes. In the south, there was a mountain that rose from the ground. It was shaped like a rhinoceros' horn. There were thousands of iron rings along the ridge, and they were all floating in the air. At this moment, there were a few people using their hands and feet to climb up, as if they were trying their best to reach the top.
It was just that these sceneries were fleeting and blurry, as if they were separated by a layer of flowing water. This was because these islands were all in a formation, but because his mana was too high, he could see inside and outside, observing the sceneries inside. If his cultivation level was not as high, what appeared in front of him would only be a vast expanse of seawater.
Even though he was only a clone and had restrained his aura, the profound energy that covered the heavens and the earth could still be seen in the sky. When the cultivators below saw this, they were all extremely nervous, and the streaks of light moved about ceaselessly as if they were in a panic.
Seeing the chaos, he stopped and transmitted his voice, "Is Fellow Daoist Qiu there? I have come. "
Qiu Zhongxian was standing in the cave abode with more than ten Daoists and looking outside. He had returned to the sect a month ago and told the sect masters about Zhang Yan's arrival. These days, he had been waiting for his arrival. When he heard the voice, he was overjoyed. He bowed to Daoren, who was standing in the middle, and said, "Sect master, it's Zhang Shang Zhen."
As soon as he said this, the tension in the cave abode was swept away, and it was replaced by excitement and joy.
When Daoren heard this, he was also very excited. He said, "Has this Shang Zhen arrived? No wonder he has such a great presence." He turned around and said, "I heard that this Shang Zhen has come here on the orders of the Great Underworld Patriarch. His identity is noble. Why don't you go out with I to welcome him?"
The Daoists all said yes, and remembered Qiu Zhongxian's warning. They all activated their protective jade pendants to prevent themselves from being knocked down by Zhang Yan's Qi.
Daoren took out a talisman from his sleeve and opened a door in the formation. He then led the group out and came to the sky. He saw a handsome young Daoist with his big sleeves fluttering in the air. He quickly came forward and bowed to him. He said, "I am Fan Zhang, the sect master of Mai Jue Sect. Greetings, Zhang Shang Zhen."
The Daoists behind him also bowed.
Zhang Yan said, "You don't have to be so polite."
Fan Zhang stood up and said respectfully, "Zhang Shang Zhen has come from afar to help me. We, Mai Jue Sect, are very grateful. We have already prepared a banquet at the mountain gate. I wonder if we can have the honor to invite Shang Zhen into our abode?"
Zhang Yan readily agreed. He followed Fan Zhang and the others into the cave abode. The food prepared for the banquet was obviously meticulously prepared. Although the food and wine were just decorations to him, Mai Jue Sect's etiquette was still there.
Fan Zhang also knew that these things could not be used to entertain this great cultivator. He sighed and said, "Shang Zhen, it's not that we are treating you poorly. It's just that whenever Mai Jue Sect patrols outside, they will try to kill our disciples if they see them going out. This is to threaten us."
A Daoist at the banquet also sighed and said, "It's not just Sect Master Fan. Which sect isn't forced to defend their mountain gate? The land of Ye Hai is barren. The medicine that they need can only be plucked from the sea. All these years, it has delayed the cultivation of many disciples. They can't even go outside to recruit disciples. If this continues, their inheritance will be cut off. "
Zhang Yan said, "When I came Just now, I didn't see anyone patrolling outside."
Qiu Zhongxian said, "Shang Zhen, this person usually travels by flying boat. He has set up many instruments outside to spy on our Qi dynamic. As long as we go out a thousand miles or try to destroy this item, he will definitely find out. Not long after, he will come to make things difficult for us."
A thousand miles was an extremely short distance in this sea. They couldn't go far. Not to mention plucking or exchanging medicine from other places.
Zhang Yan sensed for a while, and sure enough, he detected a fluctuation of spiritual vigor in all directions. He scanned his surroundings, and when he saw that there were no other tricks, he flicked his finger, and a sword talisman flew out. In an instant, he left the island, and made one round within a thousand miles, and destroyed all the instruments. He said, "I have already destroyed this instrument. If he senses it, he will come out and I will ask him."
Fan Zhang quickly stood up and thanked him, "I will leave everything to you, Shang Zhen."
After a dozen breaths, Zhang Yan suddenly felt a movement in a certain boundary. It was the door of a small world opening. He nodded slightly. As he expected, this person usually hid in the small world. He would only come out when the prohibition or instrument was disturbed.
At this moment, the person who came out was a burly cultivator with a rough appearance. He was holding a magic plate in his hand. After fiddling with it for a while, he looked around suspiciously. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and went back into the small world. It was obvious that he felt something was wrong and didn't dare to check outside like he usually did.
Zhang Yan smiled. This person was a cautious person. However, since the location of the small world was exposed in front of him, there was no difference between hiding and hiding.
With a little deduction, he knew the location of the small world. He reached out and instantly broke through the space between the worlds. He dragged the cultivator out and threw him down the stairs.
Fan Zhang frowned and looked around. Everyone shook their heads. It was obvious that they had never seen this person before.
The cultivator was dizzy from the fall. When he saw his surroundings clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked. However, he knew that the person who could bring him out from the small world must have some extraordinary means. He only sat up but didn't dare to get up.
Zhang Yan looked down and asked, "Who are you? Are you a disciple of the Bi An Sect? "
Only then did the cultivator look in Zhang Yan's direction. With just one glance, he felt dizzy and almost fell down again. Knowing that he had encountered a powerful person, he immediately became docile and said, "I am Yu An, not a cultivator of the Bi An Sect. A month ago, there was a cultivator of this sect here. He said he had something to do and had to leave for a while. In exchange, he gave me a bottle of medicinal pills and asked me to stand guard here and monitor the movements of a sect here."
Zhang Yan thought about it. A month ago, he left precisely because he was waiting. During this period of time, it was very likely that this person already knew that he was coming, so he left early and made such arrangements. However, this was also within his consideration. When Qiu Zhongxian came to find him, this matter couldn't be hidden.
After asking a few more questions, he saw that this person's knowledge was limited, so he had people take him away and temporarily keep him in custody.
Then, he looked up and said, "Sect Master Fan, I want to ask you about something."
Fan Zhang hurriedly stood up and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. If you really have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."
Zhang Yan raised his sleeve and took out the tortoiseshell, placing it on the table. He said, "When Master Qiu handed this to me, he said that this was passed down in your sect. May I know where you found this back then?"
Fan Zhang looked and said, "So you really want to ask about this. This tortoiseshell was obtained by the founder of my sect from one of the cave residences of the Great Underworld Patriarch. That place still exists, but there is something special about it. Just Now, it has appeared sixty years ago. It hasn't been that long since the time has passed. If you really want to enter, you might have to wait for another few decades."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "That's fine. I will wait here for a while."
Fan Zhang was overjoyed when he heard that. Although Zhang Yan had scared that person away, the matter had not been resolved yet. He was extremely afraid that after Zhang Yan left, the Bi An Sect would return, and it would be troublesome if that happened.
Someone on the table was in disbelief and asked carefully, "Is Supreme Patriarch really willing to stay here? Will it delay Supreme Patriarch's matter? "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This time, I only came with a clone, so I have nothing to worry about. I still have a few cultivation methods here. Since everyone's cultivation methods are also passed down by the Great Underworld Patriarch, we can take this opportunity to study them together."
Everyone was instantly excited when they heard that. Why would a great cultivator like Zhang Yan need to study cultivation methods with them? He was clearly using this as an excuse to guide them.
Fan Zhang bowed solemnly and said, "I thank Supreme Patriarch for granting my wish."
Everyone on the table also stood up and bowed in unison.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly. He could protect this junior for a while, but not for a long time. Instead of that, it was better to find a way to help them improve the strength of their sect. No matter what, they still respected the Great Underworld Patriarch in name and were considered family. If any sect could really become strong in the future, he did not mind giving them a talisman or a golden disc and accepting them as a lower sect of the Qincang.
