On the Green Jade Palace Ship, the cultivators who came to conquer Wujue Heaven had already returned from Wujue Heaven.
Mei Ruoqing descended from the sky and stopped on the ship's platform. She looked into Wujue Heaven and was still in disbelief. She had thought that even if they won the battle, they would have to pay a heavy price. She was even prepared to die. She did not expect that they would be able to win the battle. Not only that, but Yang Yougong and the others had not escaped. This meant that there was no one in the all-heavens who could fight against the Green Jade Palace.
The reason why they could do this was undoubtedly because of Zhang Yan. It was hard to imagine that there was a cultivator who could cultivate his mana to such a powerful level without entering Enlightenment.
She looked around and saw He Xianyin standing on a high platform on the ship. She walked over and bowed, "Zhenren He, sorry to disturb you. I have something to ask."
He Xianyin returned the greeting and said, "What would you like to know, Goddess Mei?"
Mei Ruoqing said, "I've long heard of the Lotus Root Grass in Xuanhong Heaven. However, since your world and Green Jade Palace became enemies, you can no longer find it in the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict. I have a disciple who has recently reached the threshold of cultivation and is rebuilding a cave abode. He happens to need this treasure. Do you still have it in your world?"
In the Yuhuan Heavens, because of the abundance of spiritual opportunity, almost every world had its own unique precious medicine. Not only could it be exchanged for Karma points, but it could also be used to exchange with other heavens for cultivation items. There were many good items in Xuanhong Heaven, among which the Lotus Root Grass was the most famous. It was a spiritual herb planted around the cave abode of Dark Stone. It had the effect of gathering spiritual energy and was rare in the Yuhuan Heavens.
The spiritual vigor of the world was constantly dispersing. It was just a matter of how much spiritual vigor was dissipating. The formation might be able to slow it down, but the operation of the formation required spiritual vigor as well. However, this herb was able to lock in the spiritual vigor for a long time without dissipating. The loss of spiritual vigor was negligible and it was very mysterious. It was highly respected by the cultivators of the nineteen heavens. However, there were not many of them.
After hearing that Mei Ruoqing needed the item, He Xianyin pondered for a moment before replying, "I will inform Zhang Shangzhen about this matter. Regardless of the outcome, I will inform Heavenly Lord Mei."
Mei Ruoqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist He."
Although she appeared to be here for the Lu Gen Grass, she actually did not think much of it. A mere disciple was not worthy of her doing this. The reason why she took the initiative to talk to Xuan Hongtian was just to use this as an excuse to build a relationship with Xuan Hongtian.
At this moment, the Deacon Daoist who sat in front of Elder Peng walked out of the spiritual boat and stood in front of them. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Why are you two still here? Elder Peng has already set up a banquet in the palace."
Mei Ruoqing and He Xianyin didn't stay any longer. They politely greeted each other and walked into the hall.
Not long after the two of them entered the hall, another two rays of light came from the outside and slowly landed in front of the hall. It was Zhang Yan and Ao Shao who had returned from outside. The Daoist attendant quickly came forward and said, "The two of you have returned. Elder Peng is already waiting for you in the hall."
Zhang Yan smiled and entered the hall with Ao Shao. After greeting everyone, they sat down in their respective seats.
Seeing that everyone was present, Elder Peng greeted them and music started playing. Then, he raised his cup and invited them to drink. After three drinks, he sat down. At this moment, he looked at Zhang Yan and cupped his hands. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you have contributed greatly to us being able to take down Yang Yougong and the others so easily."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Elder Peng is exaggerating. If it weren't for everyone here, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."
At this moment, Ao Shao said, "I'm afraid all of you don't know this. When I came back, I talked to Spiritual Master Zhang. Just Now, I know that Lord Zhongling, the sect master of the Jindi Sect, has an extraordinary background. He once followed the Great Underworld Patriarch and lived in seclusion for millions of years. His magic power is unfathomable. This demon was used by Yang Yougong to help him. If he had charged into the formation while we were fighting, it would have been hard to predict the outcome of the battle. Fortunately, he was defeated by Fellow Daoist Zhang."
When the Heavenly Lords heard about Lord Zhongling's background, their hearts trembled.
Previously, when Zhang Yan mentioned this demon, they did not underestimate him. However, they did not expect him to have such a powerful background. If they did not take precautions beforehand, they might not necessarily be able to stop him, but a few of them might have died. When they thought of this, they secretly felt relieved.
For example, the Heavenly Lord and the others raised their cups to toast Zhang Yan from afar. However, most of them were not only toasting him for his strength but also for his powerful magic power. After all, the scene of him killing the Enlightenment Embellishment in an instant was truly awe-inspiring.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and raised his cup to return the toast. However, he did not feel that defeating Lord Zhongling was a big deal. Putting aside his strong foundation, he was now on the path to the True Yang Realm. Ordinary third stage cultivators could not be compared to him at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart. It was only natural that he could defeat that demon and the Enlightenment Embellishment. If he still could not deal with this demon, then he would have wasted so many years of cultivation.
At this moment, Elder Peng looked at Mei Ruoqing and said, "Heavenly Lord Mei, I remember that you mentioned that the realm is slightly unstable. It seems that some people have been incited by Yang Yougong and the others. Do you need our help?"
Mei Ruoqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Peng. Before I came here, there were indeed many different opinions in the realm. However, after this battle, I believe there will be no more opinions."
Elder Peng nodded and said, "That's good."
Although Yang Yougong and the others were eliminated, there were still remnants of their forces in Jueyuan Heaven and other realms. However, there was no need for almighty cultivators like Enlightenment Embellishment to help. Therefore, after the banquet ended, the Heavenly Lords did not linger and left one by one.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he came to the top of the boat with Elder Peng and said, "Elder Peng, now that the situation has been settled, even if there is a small storm, it will not be a problem for the Heavenly Lords of Green Jade Palace. I have been out for a long time and will have to return to the sect soon. Only Spiritual Master He is guarding Xuan Hong Heaven, so I will have to trouble you to take care of him."
Outside Xuan Hong Heaven, there was a great formation protecting it. Normally, it would not be afraid of external enemies. However, he did not know when he would return to the Universal Heavens, so he greeted Elder Peng.
Elder Peng said, "Rest assured, as long as I am here, Xuan Hong Heaven will be fine."
Zhang Yan thanked him and after saying a few more words, he bid farewell to Elder Peng and brought He Xianyin back to Xuan Hong Heaven.
Elder Peng watched him leave and looked into the void, stroking his beard and not saying a word.
At this moment, Feng Lan walked up and said, "Elder Peng, do you think that if Elder Zhang really obtains the Xuan Stone, he can cultivate to the level of the Palace Head?"
Elder Peng shook his head and said, "Since Palace Head Yu Huan established the sect in the Universal Heavens, no one in Green Jade Palace has received the teachings. How would I know all this?"
Feng Lan said, "What if Spiritual Master Zhang really succeeds?"
Elder Peng laughed and said, "I know what Spiritual Master Feng means. However, when that time comes, it is something Palace Head should consider. What can we do?" He walked into the hall and said, "Let's go. The aftermath has not calmed down and the Universal Heavens are not settled. It is not the time for us to relax."
Feng Lan chuckled as he followed behind.
Zhang Yan and He Xianyin left the boat and first returned to the Cloud Continent. Then, they used the Ten Thousand Space Ring to return to Xuan Hong Heaven in a short while.
Zhang Yan stopped in the sky and said, "Spiritual Master He, I will go into secluded meditation for a period of time. I might make a trip back to the sect."
He Xianyin bowed and said, "I will help Spiritual Master take care of this place."
Zhang Yan said, "I have already informed Elder Peng. If there are any problems, you can find him for help."
He Xianyin nodded and paused for a moment before continuing: "I also have a matter. Earlier, Heavenly Lord Mei told me that she needs to trade for the Hut Root Grass. However, there isn't much of it left. I wonder if Heavenly Lord will allow it?"
Originally, he didn't need to ask Zhang Yan about such a thing. However, there was a problem. The grass might have grown because of the Xuan Stone. Now that the Xuan Stone was taken away, he didn't know whether or not it could survive. This was something he had to mention.
After Zhang Yan heard him explain the reason, he thought about it. He had seen this Hut Root Grass in the Imperial Edict Golden Hall. Only then did he know that it grew outside the Xuan Stone Cave. However, the Xuan Stone was different from other things. When it landed in the world, it was just an image and couldn't benefit other things. There was a reason why this grass could grow. He said, "Let's deal with this matter as per usual."
He Xianyin bowed and agreed.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and returned to the Sky Scraping Spell Boat. He asked the servants and found out that he had nothing to do these few years. He came to the inner manor and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and entering a meditative state.
However, this time, it only took him half a year to come out of seclusion. After a brief examination, he found that his progress was slower than before, as if he had stopped moving forward. He thought for a moment, then came out of the Spell Boat, broke through the void, and arrived at the Outer Realm Grand Formation. He used his divine will to ask, "Is Fellow Daoist Ying here?"
Not long after, the great Kun Ying Zhao appeared in front of him and said, "Do you have any instructions for me, Spiritual Master?"
Zhang Yan said, "Today, I feel that my progress is slowing down, but I still don't feel that it's time to change my cultivation method. That's why I came to you to ask for guidance."
Ying Zhao didn't say much. He only said, "Spiritual Master, you can continue your cultivation after you return to the sect."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized that the Karma was most likely in the Yu Huan Heavens. He had been preparing to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm, but since that was the case, he might as well leave now. He bowed and left the Grand Formation, preparing to use the World Ring to return to the Xuanhong Heavens.
However, when he stepped through the World Ring, he was surprised to find that he was not in the Inner Realm, but in a place where the sky was dark and the earth was dark. He could feel a boundless Weili, as if all things in the world were revolving around it. Even he himself felt like he was about to melt into it.
At this time, the space between his brows flashed, and the profound stone jumped out. It suddenly released a streak of light, opening up a path.
A loud voice seemed to come from the end of the path. "Fellow Daoist, you've finally come."
Zhang Yan looked in the direction of the light and saw a Daoist sitting there. The Daoist seemed so close, yet so far away. However, Zhang Yan could sense something else. The Daoist had a huge body, and was as majestic as the heavens and earth. Zhang Yan's heart trembled, and he bowed and said, "How should I address you, esteemed Daoist?"
The Daoist smiled and slowly rose from his seat. At this moment, it was as if the heavens and earth were bowing to him, and all things bowed. "I am the Palace Lord of the Green Jade Palace, Fu Qingming."
