With a sweep of Zhang Yan's mana, the two of them were already standing on a cloud. Then, with a shout, he brought the boy up to the sky.
The boy stood on the cloud and looked around with wide eyes. However, he was from the Nine Cities, so it was not the first time he came to the sky. In the past, there were passing Qincang cultivators who came to choose their disciples. In order to check their aptitude and temperament, they would often bring their disciples to the sky.
Because of his excellent aptitude, he would be chosen every time. However, those cultivators either saw something or were reminded that there might be some other karma behind him, so they did not dare to rashly accept him as a disciple. They could only regretfully let him stay.
The boy suddenly tugged at the corner of Zhang Yan's clothes. When the latter looked over, he looked up and said, "This is the Flying Technique? Can you teach me, Daoist? "
Zhang Yan smiled. He waved his sleeves and a table appeared on the cloud. There were two items on top of it. One was a clean and shiny medicinal pellet, and the other was an ordinary-looking piece of jade.
He said, "There is a medicinal pill here. You only need to take it and you will immediately have the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the earth. You can rely on this to live a free and unfettered life. There is a chant in the jade scroll that you need to practice diligently. If you learn it, you may also have the ability, but it will probably take decades."
His disciple's aptitude in this life was not bad, but merely having good aptitude was useless. He also needed to have a tenacious and indomitable Dao Heart. This was a test. If he could pass, then he could continue the fate of master and disciple in this life. If he could not, then he would rather continue waiting. It was better than being like Dugu Hang, endlessly rotating through life after life without any success.
The boy looked at this and that, biting his finger as he thought. But not long after, he ran over and picked up the jade scroll.
Zhang Yan asked, "Why did you choose this item?"
The boy thought for a moment, then raised the jade scroll and said, "It's mine." He then pointed at the pill and shook his head forcefully, "It's not mine."
Zhang Yan nodded his head slightly, and a look of gratification appeared in his eyes. Although the boy was young, he could clearly tell that consuming the pill would give him divine abilities, but it was only a temporary benefit. Also, the pill wasn't one's own, it was merely borrowed from someone else. However, the jade scroll contained the cultivation method, and after practicing it, the divine abilities would belong to the user.
He smiled and said, "Come to me."
The boy walked up and looked at him with his black and white eyes.
Zhang Yan smiled and reached out his hand to touch the back of the boy's head. He said, "Disciple, quickly wake up.
The boy's body trembled, and in an instant, countless scenes floated through his mind. He became a disciple at the foot of Mount Shenwu, cultivated on Cang Zhu Peak, took charge of the Hanyuan Sect, received the Yun Xiao Sword Manual, and said goodbye in front of the Du Zhen Hall. Unknowingly, his clothes were already wet with tears. He rushed forward and hugged Zhang Yan's leg while crying, "Master …"
Zhang Yan patted his back and said, "Don't cry. You and I, master and disciple, have reunited. This is a happy occasion."
The boy tried his best to stand up straight. He picked up his sleeve and wiped away his tears, then he said loudly, "Yes, master."
Although he remembered what happened in his previous life, he only experienced it once from the perspective of a bystander, so it was not very deep. So, in terms of pure intelligence, he was actually still a child. Only when he truly cultivated back to the cultivation level of his previous life, would he truly become one and return to his original self.
Zhang Yan said gently, "Disciple, give me the jade slip."
The boy said yes and quickly handed over the jade slip.
Zhang Yan reached out and touched the jade slip. A faint light flashed on the jade slip. He said, "This is a set of techniques. Take it and practice well. If you encounter any danger, you only need to call out and this item will protect you."
The boy was about to take it, but with a thought, the jade slip floated over by itself and hovered beside him. There was also a soft and pleasant sound coming from it as if it was whispering to him. With another thought, the jade slip began to circle around his body. However, he had great self-control, so he quickly put it away and stood there obediently.
Zhang Yan had been watching him from the side. Seeing this scene, he nodded and said, "Disciple, what is your name in this life?"
The boy replied, "Disciple's name is Cen Xiao."
Zhang Yan said, "You still have karma to settle in this life. Before you recover your cultivation level, you can still use this name. After you have severed your karma, I will bring you back to the sect."
He could not bring this disciple back to the sect yet. Although he had recovered his past, his parents in this life still needed to be served. It was impossible for him to just leave like this. Only after this karma was settled could he come back to the world to cultivate.
Cen Xiao said loudly, "Disciple will obey Master's order." He grew up in the city. After many companions were selected, some parents would be taken away, and some would stay behind to cultivate. It could be said that he was influenced by what he saw and heard.
Zhang Yan said, "There are many important points in this technique. If you don't understand, you can first ask the spirit in the jade slip. It will answer your doubts."
This cultivation method was something that he had specially evolved after examining this disciple's Qi dynamic. However, it was somewhat similar to the cultivation method he had practiced in his previous life. In other words, some of his previous experiences could still be used as a reference.
Cen Xiao did not really understand. Because the memories of his previous life had not completely fused with him, there were some things that he did not really understand. However, he understood the meaning of this sentence. He said, "Disciple understands." He thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Then if disciple wants to see Master, where can I find him?"
Zhang Yan smiled and gestured for him to look to the side. He pointed and said, "Look over there."
Cen Xiao looked and saw that it was a peak outside the city. Even if it was above the clouds, it was only halfway up the mountain. He said, "I know. Mother said that is Celestial Stopping Mountain."
Zhang Yan said, "It is Celestial Stopping Mountain. I stay at the peak of the mountain every month. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come here to see me. Even if I am not there, you can cultivate there first."
If it was a mortal, it would not be easy to climb up. However, the descendants of the nine cities were different. Each of them was strong and healthy. Even if they were children, as long as they had enough food and water, it would not be difficult for them to climb up the mountain with their bare hands. Moreover, after cultivating the technique that he had passed down, they would only need a little more than a month to be able to slightly circulate their inner Qi. At that time, it would not be difficult at all.
Cen Xiao said seriously, "Disciple will remember."
Zhang Yan gave a few more instructions and sent Cen Xiao back. Then, with a thought, he arrived at Celestial Stopping Mountain in an instant. With a wave of his sleeve, a large lake was formed. In the center of the lake, there were pavilions and terraces erected out of thin air. After this was done, he turned his consciousness. This incarnation had already turned into a clear light and rushed into the sky, returning to his original body.
The Void Essence Sea. Yu Yuetian. Deep in the earthstring.
After a fierce battle, Peng Xiang had consumed a Genyin Demon. Feeling his energy level rise, he turned to look for another target.
The intelligent life forms in this part of the world had never encountered Heavenly Devils. Although the Devils were strong, they had not been infected by external Qi. Therefore, they were very clumsy in front of him, and were easily defeated by him.
Ever since the Mountain and Sea Realm had been annexed to Bushu Heaven, he had been roaming the outside world on Zhang Yan's orders. His main duty was to keep an eye on the Heavenly Devils from Other Realm.
Because he had countless doppelgangers, he would leave behind a doppelganger in almost every world he went to. Under normal circumstances, he would be submerged in the earth veins, observing every movement of the living beings on the ground. If he saw extraterrestrial demons or other beings invading, he would immediately report to his true location. If it was extremely urgent, he would then report to Zhang Yan.
The Spirit Qi in this world was not bad. However, about ten years ago, a group of Demons and Devils had come here to preach the Dao. They claimed to be the superior Fundamental Scripture, which was obviously the work of a Connate Demon.
Because the natives of this world had not acquired any of the superior magic legacies, their cultivation methods were crude and inferior. Furthermore, the Fundamental Scripture could be recited by mortals, and could be miraculous to those who were destined to learn it. Therefore, in a few short years, it had become the mainstream of the world. From the look of things, it wouldn't be long before the transmission of the native magic was completely cut off.
However, he didn't interfere. The struggle over Daoist magic had nothing to do with him. If everyone here became Demon and Devil believers, then there was no need for him to stay here any longer. There would naturally be others to drive out the Devils from Other Realm.
However, in the middle of his search, he suddenly sensed something strange. It was almost as if some foreign object had entered this world. However, after searching back and forth a few times, he didn't find anything.
The more it was like this, the more it indicated that something was wrong.
He didn't dare to let his guard down and continued to stare at it.
Half a month later, something strange finally happened. One by one, the Daoist cultivators died suddenly while reciting the scripture. However, it wasn't just the people who were practicing the Fundamental Scripture, even the natives who were unwilling to give up their original Daoist cultivation methods were the same.
However, this was just the beginning. In just a few short months, countless Daoist cultivators died mysteriously, and there was no way to find out the cause. In the past half a year, nine out of ten Daoist cultivators in this world had died.
Even now, he still couldn't figure out the cause. He knew that this matter was beyond his control, so he silently called out the name of Xuanyuan Dao Lord in his heart.
In the Green Sky Hall, Zhang Yan was practicing the Taixuan Scripture. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked towards Yu Yuetian. With just a glance, he saw the cause of this incident.
This was indeed the doing of those demons, but it was different from the past. Every Daoist cultivator in this world had died from the invasion of the Inner Demons.
The so-called Inner Demons were usually just the movements of the human heart, or the lack of self-restraint, or the instability of the heart, or the unbroken karma. The problem usually came from the Daoist cultivators themselves. However, this time, such things had become real.
His eyes flashed, and he understood that this must be the new work of Chi Yao and the others. The invasion of such demons was too powerful, and it was not something that Daoist cultivators could suppress, unless there was a certain way to restrain it.
Now that there were True Yang cultivators like them in Yu Yuetian, there was no need to fear it. However, the Void Primordial Sea was not the same. If they were left alone, once these things were allowed to spread, it was likely that the Daoist cultivators' paths would be cut off.
After thinking about it, he felt that he had to pay attention to it. With a flick of his finger, a talisman flew towards the direction of the Guanyun Continent's Thunder Desolation Mountain.
