After listening to Zhang Yan's words, Taoist Wan Que thought for a while and nodded slightly. He said slowly, "I am also a human cultivator. When I was young, I became a disciple of the founding master and was imparted with the supreme techniques. There is nothing special about this. Later on, I achieved true Yang and thought that I have cultivated to the end of the Dao. From then on, I can live a carefree life."
Zhang Yan then said, "Even if you can't see those in the upper realm, there are still many who are pursuing it. Do you think that this is false?"
From the fact that Taoist Wan Que could become a True Yang Cultivator, his sect must be powerful, so it was impossible for him to know about Spirit Refinement after becoming a True Yang Cultivator. He must have heard about it long ago.
Taoist Wan Que shook his head and said, "My sect has always been dismissive of the rumors about the upper realm, saying that it is just nonsense. Moreover, my Master once told me that if no one can reach this realm, then there is no need to seek it. If someone succeeds, then it is not too late to follow. Our hearts are like the heavens, if we can't see it, then we won't speak."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. The sect behind Taoist Wan Que firmly believed that the Spirit Refinement realm did not exist. This was not ignorance, but it was to prevent one's Dao heart from being disturbed, so as not to walk on the path of no return. However, if it was really as Wan Que said, that one did not seek the upper realm but the supreme realm, then it could not be said that he was wrong.
For example, people like Lu Hua and Feng Chan believed that the upper realm existed, so they went through it. However, it could not be said that they were wrong, and there was no need to use the results to determine who was right or wrong. It was just that there was a fundamental difference in their understanding.
He said, "Then what happened?"
Taoist Wan Que said, "After I succeeded, I talked about Dao every day and gradually felt that the upper realm might not be empty talk."
Zhang Yan knew that it was not that he did not follow the teachings of his sect, but because after he became a True Yang Cultivator, he found his own Dao path, and even the words of his original master could not affect his own will.
Taoist Wan Que continued, "Later on, I became obsessed with this, but in the years that followed, I couldn't get to the Dao. I thought that I would be like my predecessors and have no hope of reaching this realm, but one day …"
"That day, I was discussing the method of the upper realm with a fellow Daoist. In fact, we had already talked about this many times, and there was nothing new about it. Later on, that fellow Daoist had something to do and needed to leave first, so in order to not take good care of me, he invited me to the library to read books. After reading for a few days, I found a jade slip in a corner, but I didn't expect that it would actually record how to go deep into the beard and use the Weili to ascend to the upper realm. When I saw it, I was extremely shocked, and thought that it was a joke, but later on, I deduced and verified, and found that it was actually feasible!"
Zhang Yan said, "May I know where this jade slip is now?"
Taoist Wan Que shook his head and said, "After I saw it that day, I wanted to take a closer look, but who knew that it would disappear in the blink of an eye. Later on, I tried to ask that fellow Daoist a few questions, but he didn't know anything, as if he had never seen it before. I suspect that this item might be the legendary World Knowing Jade Slip, or a damaged part of it."
Zhang Yan was a little interested and said, "World Knowing Jade Slip? Is there really such an item? "
No one knew the origin of the World Knowing Jade Slip, but according to the legends, there was such a mysterious item in the world that contained all the principles of the world. No matter what you wanted to know, you could search for it.
There were many records of this item since ancient times, but most of them were untrustworthy, and the remaining few were also questionable.
However, there were rumors. It was very likely that it was the Innate Cardinal Treasure from the first era.
Of course, there were many theories about the original form of this Innate Cardinal Treasure, but because no one had seen it before, there were still many speculations. No one could be sure of what it was.
Taoist Wan Que said, "This is just my own speculation, because I really can't think of anything else in the world that can help me enter the upper realm other than this. As for why my fellow Daoist didn't see it and only I saw it, I can only say that it's fate.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "In fact, whether it was the World Knowing Jade Slip or not is irrelevant."
Taoist Wan Que agreed, "Indeed, it is irrelevant. I followed the incantation and successfully borrowed Bu Xutian's power. I thought that I would be able to use it to succeed, but you know what happened next."
Zhang Yan saw that although this person had mentioned this matter, he still didn't talk about the contents of the scroll. He knew that this person was still holding back. However, he didn't mind and said, "Although you have retreated, you must be unwilling in your heart. If you have another chance, what would you do?"
Taoist Wan Que's voice was cold as he said, "Even if you give me another chance, I definitely won't be able to pass it."
"I do have some insights here," Zhang Yan said with a smile.
He discussed with him about the method to enter the upper realm and told him about his ideas.
This was not an aimless talk, and he had carefully calculated it.
If the other party wanted to dissuade him, then he would have to come up with a reason to convince him. Since this person was trying to stop him, even if he knew that he was trying to get information out of him, he had no choice but to follow his rhythm.
As expected, Taoist Wan Que immediately retorted after hearing this.
The discussion between the two not only involved how to enter the upper realm, but also the understanding of various Dao techniques and supernatural powers. It was almost like a discussion of Dao.
In the end, Taoist Wan Que gradually fell into a disadvantage, but he still held on to the fact that no one had been able to pass the door to the upper realm. Because the ideas that Zhang Yan had put forward could not be proven, he believed that as long as he held on to this point, it would be impossible to refute.
In the process, he also found that the basis of Zhang Yan's foundation was that his current strength was far stronger than when he had ascended to the upper realm, and his power was not borrowed from Bu Xutian, but used for his own use. It seemed like there was no difference, but a slight difference could lead to a completely different result.
But he still insisted, "Although you have won against me, it is not by much. This is not enough to change the situation, and it is impossible to change the situation."
Zhang Yan understood what he meant. Although he was stronger than this person, there was not a huge difference between them. When he had Bu Xutian's Weili, he also had infinite mana, the only difference was in how he used it.
He smiled, waved his sleeve, and a golden pearl was placed on the horizontal table in front of him. He said, "Then what do you think, if you get this thing?"
Taoist Wan Que was surprised, "Taiyi Golden Pearl?"
He carefully sensed it, but was even more surprised. There was no consciousness in it, which meant that not only did Zhang Yan have this thing, but he had also completely subdued it.
This was a huge bargaining chip. If he had had the Taiyi Golden Pearl back then, the result would have been very different.
This was not to say that the Taiyi Golden Pearl would definitely be able to resist the Weili from above, but with a little help, more variables could be created. Not to mention that the Primordial Cardinal Treasure had unlimited power, it could be used as a substitute at a crucial moment, and it might be able to avoid that disaster.
At this moment, he had no choice but to admit that Zhang Yan did indeed have a chance to ascend to the Upper Realm, but that was all to it. It was absolutely impossible for him to encourage Zhang Yan to do such a thing, so he said calmly, "It's just that the chances are slightly higher. “
Zhang Yan said, "Nothing in the world is perfect. How can seeking the upper realm be a sure thing? If there is a higher chance, it is not bad. "Here, he said," If someone dissuaded you back then, would you have stopped? "
Taoist Wan Que was silent.
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "What you are worried about is that after I ascend to the upper realm, everything will turn into nothingness, and even you will not be able to escape. But if you continue like this, what can you do? You should know that I will not stop, so you should tell me everything you know. If you succeed, you might be able to give you an explanation when you return. "
Taoist Wan Que did not speak for a long time, and said after a long time, "Let me think about it."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. Looking at his attitude, there was still some hope in this matter. He waved his sleeve and sent him back.
Although he did not get what he wanted the most this time, the harvest was not small, especially when the other party had really ascended to the upper realm. There were many details that gave him a lot of inspiration, and he needed to think about it carefully.
In the following days, he did not go to find him, but gave him enough time to think, while he went into seclusion to organize what he had learned.
On this day, he had a feeling that another disciple was about to emerge from seclusion. It was a good thing that he was about to seek the upper realm.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, in a minor realm of the Frigid North Abyss, Yuan JIngqing sat on a stone dais, a clear aura drifting around him like smoke or mist. The incense burner he sat on was also enshrouded in mist, and his body flickered in and out of existence, almost like an illusory shadow.
What he cultivated was the Yuanchen Divine Cave Spirit Scripture, and he was most proficient in sensing. Searching for the Root Fruit was extremely difficult for others, but he found it easily. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a trace of unease in his heart, and he did not take this step forward.
The root fruit seemed to vanish, as if it were about to flee. Normally, if a root fruit was not immediately fused with it, then the next time he tried to find it would be even more difficult. In fact, it was even possible that he would not be able to find it again. However, he trusted his own senses, and did nothing to stop it.
It was at this point that the sense of danger in his heart faded away. Suddenly, he realized something, and began to search again. This time, it was a bit more difficult, but it didn't take him long to find it. However, the feeling of unease once again filled him, and he decisively gave up on it. He tried again, each time more difficult than the last.
After trying five times in a row, he still felt that something was wrong. Without the slightest hesitation, he gave up on it.
If it was someone else, that person would have probably compromised a long time ago and wouldn't be willing to persist any longer. However, he didn't shrink back because of this and still insisted on doing so.
This time, he had gone through a difficult search to find the root fruit. However, if he felt that something was wrong again, then even if his magic power was running out, he wouldn't give in. As of this moment, his Dao heart had become even more resolute. It had reached an unprecedented level. At the same time, the pressure on his body suddenly retreated and no longer existed.
His thoughts were clear. At this moment, he didn't hesitate anymore. He raised his mind and fused with it. His body couldn't help but tremble. In an instant, he felt that the sky and earth were wide open, and the universe was clear. His mind was free, and he could see the boundless distance. The entanglement of the past was completely severed, and there was clear air pouring down from above, cleansing his body, and all kinds of karma disappeared.
At this moment, he had already cut off his old body and become a mortal.
As if he had done something unimportant, he stood up and walked down the stairs. After a few steps, he waved his hand, and a book that recorded everything in the world was brought to him. After a brief look, he knew the changes in these hundreds of years. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and he recited, "The righteousness is vast, and the people are mighty. Recite the Book of Dao in unison, and the nine continents are the same. The clear sun hangs high in the sky, and shines brightly on the world, and all scenery follows! "
After he finished reciting, he looked up, and after identifying the direction, he turned into a clear light and leaped up from the ground, breaking through the void, and headed towards the Qinghuan Palace.
