Zhang Yan carefully read through the pros and cons of the technique before withdrawing from the Divine Will. He said, "Palace Master Fu took a long time to cultivate in the past, and now you've set a time limit of a thousand years. Are you not afraid that I won't be able to do it?"
Fu Qingming said, "Many things that I did in the past during my cultivation, when I thought about it carefully, there were many shortcomings. Although you've just started on this path, with me by your side, you won't take those detours, and you don't have to worry about the side issues. Although a thousand years is a bit hasty, with your foundation, as long as you're sincere, it's not impossible."
Because Fu Qingming had already passed on his cultivation experience, Zhang Yan understood what the cultivation method was like. He thought for a long time and said slowly, "Palace Master Fu is taking a shortcut."
There were many twists and turns on the path to the True Yang. If one couldn't get through it, he would have to turn back and find the right path again. This method was equivalent to using Fu Qingming's past experience, not taking any side roads, and walking straight.
In short, in order to achieve this upper realm, everything that could be sacrificed would be sacrificed, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Fu Qingming nodded and said, "That's right, but time is of the essence, so we can only do this. Fellow Daoist doesn't have to worry about anything. I can promise that this won't delay Fellow Daoist's cultivation. Whatever you lack in the meantime, you can cultivate it back after you succeed."
Zhang Yan, however, had a different opinion. Fu Qingming might be right, but he had cultivated to this point, and every step he took was done to the extreme. He couldn't simply pursue the realm of cultivation and abandon his greatest advantage. Moreover, even if he could really step into the True Yang, his future achievements would not surpass Fu Qingming's. No matter how great he was, he would just be another Fu Qingming.
Moreover, from another perspective, he didn't think that this method was necessarily right. Because although this method would cut off the branches of the vine, he felt that some things might not be missed because of this.
As a result, he said, "Junior believes that the right path should be taken and not be missed."
Fu Qingming shook his head and advised, "Fellow Daoist's choice will definitely be several times more difficult than the original method, and the time needed will undoubtedly be much longer. Moreover, because there are many forked paths that I have not walked, it will be even more difficult to correct them. You must know that when you circulate your cultivation method, there will always be external forces that will push you away. If your Dao heart is not firm, you will suffer from these external disturbances and deviate from the right path. If you are not careful, you will never be able to turn back and from then on, you will have no fate with the Great Dao. I hope fellow Daoist will consider carefully."
Zhang Yan smiled and replied, "Palace Lord Fu once told me not to imitate you and to walk my own path. This is also the reason why I am considering it."
Fu Qingming stared at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you really intend to do this?"
Zhang Yan said solemnly, "Rest assured, Palace Lord Fu. I know my own situation very well and will not joke around with my life."
Fu Qingming thought for a moment and finally agreed. He said, "Since fellow Daoist insists on this, I can only allow fellow Daoist to try, but if there is anything wrong, I hope fellow Daoist can turn back to the right path in time."
According to common sense, he could use magic power to change Zhang Yan's mind and make the latter follow his method. However, he knew that the Great Underworld Patriarch had set up a trap on the mystic stone, so it was impossible for him to do this.
Most importantly, this was Zhang Yan's own insistence. If he forcefully stopped him from doing this, once his Dao heart was disturbed, even the last bit of success would be ruined.
He was still clear about the importance of this matter.
At this moment, Zhang Yan said seriously, "Palace Lord Fu, since I have embarked on this path, I will not think about other things. Sometimes, I will worry about gains and losses, or blindly think about the path of retreat, and I will lose the courage to advance."
Fu Qingming sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave it up to you. But Fellow Daoist, please remember this. No matter what level you've cultivated to, your thoughts must be pure. You must remember this. This concerns your future abilities, so you mustn't neglect it."
Zhang Yan's expression turned solemn. He said, "I will remember."
From the memories, he could see that once a cultivator entered the True Yang Realm, his Divine Will would involuntarily spread out, and when it shone into the real world, it would transform into many incarnations. These incarnations would develop their own thoughts, and each of them had the ability to turn the world upside down. They could be seen as the cultivator's Essence Qi incarnations, or as a single person.
If the cultivator's thoughts were not pure during the process of breaking through, the incarnations might fight and kill each other, or even go against the main body, thinking about replacing the main body. However, if the incarnations were focused, they might even help the cultivator instead.
Normally, the purer the thoughts and the stronger the mind, the fewer the incarnations would be, and the more compatible the incarnations would be with the main body, and the smaller the possibility of rebellion. However, it was impossible for there to be no incarnations, unless the cultivator no longer had any thoughts. If that was the case, then the cultivator would not be able to transcend, and it would be impossible for him to step onto the True Yang path.
At last, Fu Qingming said, "If you encounter any problems, you can ask me anytime. Fellow Daoist, you know how to find me." He cupped his hands, and with a flash of light, he disappeared.
Zhang Yan also cupped his hands and raised his head, his eyes flashing slightly. He dared to do this because, firstly, he had the remnant of the jade, and secondly, he had the Chi Lu as a backup. It was easier to attract the unknown things there, and he could obtain more from it. Moreover, after understanding the abilities of the True Yang cultivators, he felt that the master behind the Chi Lu was not simple, and those evil thoughts might not be able to chase him there.
Of course, this was only his own judgment. Whether it was true or not, he had no way of knowing.
With a thought, he instantly landed in the Mysterious Great Outer Heaven Formation. He called for Yu Kun and Ying Zhao with his Divine Will, then he once again stepped into the abode left behind by the patriarch.
He arrived at a large hall, sat down cross-legged, and found the location of the Strength Dao Root Fruit. With a thought, he instantly disappeared from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Chi Lu. He looked around, and there was no change from the last time he came back. He focused his gaze, and the Profound Stone slowly appeared. Clearly, he could still summon it here.
He found that the master of the Chi Lu seemed to be very tolerant of him. This might be because he was the only cultivator at the sixth rank of Strength Dao, or it might be because of other reasons. However, this was not the time to think about these things. There were some things that were useless to think about before reaching a certain level of cultivation.
He sat down cross-legged, concentrated, and continued to absorb the Origin Qi from the Profound Stone.
Although the speed at which his Origin Qi was growing had slowed down, it was not to the point where it could not grow anymore. This meant that there was still room for improvement.
This was an external method, and it could be counted as one of the foundations. Only when his Origin Qi was strong enough could he support the consumption of the Divine Will. Every bit more counted. If he did not reach the end, he would not stop. As long as he did not start using that method, he still had plenty of time.
This period of sitting and watching took three years.
Until one day, he suddenly felt that the improvement of his Origin Qi was so small that it was almost undetectable. No matter how much he cultivated, he could not move it anymore. He knew that he had probably touched it.
At this step, it meant that the external method was complete, and he could start to cultivate the internal method.
Once he stepped on it, he could no longer turn back.
However, he had the remnant of the jade in his hand, so he could first deduce and experience it. Thus, he made up his mind and adjusted his Origin Qi. He reached into his sleeves and held onto the remnant of the jade. Then, his mind sank into it.
While he was cultivating on the Red Continent, the Yuhuan Heavens, under Elder Peng's leadership, had annihilated the Jueyuan Heavens and the other Heavens that weren't inferior to the Yuhuan Heavens one by one. The Heavens that had been watching from the sidelines had also put down their pride and taken the initiative to come to the Green Jade Palace to sign the treaty.
As the powers that opposed the Good Points system were all wiped out, as many Golden Halls of Appointment Orders entered the Heavens, this system also quickly spread throughout the Heavens.
On a cliff lake in the Cloud Continent, Elder Peng was playing Seeking Dao Chess with Elder Qi Zhiyuan. Feng Lan was watching from the side, occasionally nodding his head and occasionally showing a look of pity.
After a long while, Elder Peng threw the chess stick and laughed, "It seems like I am at a disadvantage."
Qi Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "Elder Peng has too many things on his mind, otherwise, I might not be able to win you."
"Oh?"
A bright light flashed in Elder Peng's eyes and he said, "This game of chess hasn't finished yet. We are only halfway through and Elder Qi dares to say that you can win me?"
Qi Zhiyuan said calmly, "As long as you don't have any distracting thoughts in your mind, the result will be the same."
Elder Peng sighed when he heard that and said, "There are too many mundane matters, so how can I put them all down? Elder Qi is focused on cultivating, but I can't compare to you."
Qi Zhiyuan said, "Now that the Heavens is filled with Golden Halls of Appointment Orders, one can imagine that without ten thousand years, as long as one is a cultivator, they will rely on the Good Points system to survive. Elder Peng has already done what many seniors and teachers in the palace haven't done in a million years, so what else is there to worry about? Some things can be left to the younger generation to do. "
Feng Lan said from the side, "You can't say that. Our Yuhuan Heavens also has threats outside, such as that Evil Demon. Be it Ju Yu or that Yang Yougong, we have investigated and found that they have colluded with them. Even the Heavenly Lord of a world was bewitched and used by them. From this, one can see the ability of these Evil Demons. If we aren't careful, who knows what will happen next?"
Elder Peng nodded his head and said, "We really have to guard against the Evil Demon. It isn't easy to set up the Good Points system, so we mustn't let it fall." He raised his eyes and said sincerely, "Now that the Heavens needs Patrolling Elders to observe the changes in the Heavens, I don't have many people I can use. I wonder if Elder Qi can come out and help me?"
Qi Zhiyuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he put down the chess stick and seemed to be thinking.
At this moment, a clear light came and landed not far away from the three of them. The Deacon Daoist walked out and handed over a Jade Talisman. He said, "Elder Peng, this is a letter from the outer world. The sender is Han Su."
"Han Su?"
Elder Peng took the Jade Talisman and looked at it for a moment. He frowned and threw the Jade Talisman on the table. He snorted and said, "This woman wants to come back to Yuhuan Heavens!"
Feng Lan was surprised. "The Dahuan Innocent Deity Maiden can escape from the disaster and take refuge. Han Su is lucky to escape with her life, but she has lost all her mana. Is she coming back to die?"
Elder Peng shook his head and said, "This time, she didn't come back alone. Someone else came back with her." As he spoke, his expression became serious. "Things are getting a little troublesome."
