Zhan Xinping followed the direction indicated by the talisman paper and chased after it. In the end, he found a large, half-dead fish on a shoal.
His heart moved, and with a slash of his finger, he cut open the large fish. Then, disregarding the fresh blood, he fished out an item the size of a chicken. He then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it a few times. Once the blood was gone, a jade-like luster was revealed. When the light shone on it, it was the Escape Realm Pearl he was looking for.
He laughed loudly. After almost ten years of hard work, he had finally found this item.
However, he didn't use it immediately. Instead, he cleaned it up and carefully put it in his sleeve.
It had to be known that if the people from the sect came, even if his life wasn't taken, he would definitely be severely punished. Thus, unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to use it.
If he could rely on his own power to find Li Yunying, he wouldn't need to use this item.
At the moment, this item was just something he could rely on.
After finding the Escape Realm Pearl, he borrowed the water flow to return to his original cave. From then on, he stayed here and released 'Han Ting' from time to time to check on the situation outside. However, he didn't dare to show himself too much.
After so many years, Heavenly Saint Cult had already occupied ninety percent of the world and kept suppressing those who didn't. Among them, they were especially attentive to exterminating the remaining members of the sects. He was afraid that he would be one of them.
However, at this time, he suddenly received news of Li Yunying.
He felt that something was wrong. How could it be so coincidental? He had been searching for her for so many years to no avail, and now that he found the Escape Realm Pearl, she suddenly appeared?
However, he had to admit that even if there was something strange here, he had to find out.
In the following days, he investigated and confirmed many times. In the end, he found out that on the day Dangyang Sect was attacked, Li Yunying was indeed injured and was captured. She refused to surrender, and an altar master of Heavenly Saint Cult thought highly of her talent and hoped that she would change her mind. Thus, he imprisoned her in a cave residence on Venomous Locust Mountain. Every once in a while, he would send people to persuade her, but Li Yunying's attitude was very firm. Until now, there hadn't been any results.
He was secretly anxious. In his opinion, there was no need for Li Yunying to suffer such a loss. She should surrender first. No matter what plans she had in the future, she had to protect herself first. If she lost her life, what was the use of persisting?
But no matter what, since he knew her whereabouts, he had to go and save her.
After careful planning, he secretly came to Poison Locust Mountain a month later. Perhaps it was because this place had not encountered any accidents in the past ten years, so he easily snuck in and successfully found the stone room where Li Yunying was imprisoned.
However, he didn't rashly enter to rescue her. Instead, he used a talisman he brought from the Sect. The talisman turned into a wisp of green smoke and entered the stone room. After that, it transformed into his appearance. When he looked up, he saw that Li Yun Ying was chained to a stone pillar. His emotions surged, but just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped in his tracks.
Although this woman looked very similar to Li Yun Ying, he was sure that this was not the real Li Yun Ying.
At this moment, the woman slowly raised her head and revealed a smile, "You're brother-in-law, right?"
When Zhan Xinping heard the way she addressed him, his eyes narrowed. "Li Luhua?"
Back then, when he had brought Li Yun Ying's family up the mountain, his little sister wasn't among them. It was said that she had entered another sect. Even when Heavenly Saint Cult attacked the mountain, he had never seen her. He suspected that she had died long ago. He didn't expect to see her here today, and the things that appeared later made his heart sink.
He asked solemnly, "Where is Yunying?"
Li Luhua sighed. "Big sister died long ago.
Zhan Xinping's heart trembled, and he immediately gritted his teeth. "Then could you be here just to lure me here?"
Li Luhua said helplessly, "Luhua has no choice. Grand Priest has calculated that brother-in-law is a variable in this world. If we don't get rid of him soon, it will hinder the teachings of our Heavenly Saint Cult.
When Zhan Xinping heard that, he knew that the situation was bad. He let the incarnation stay inside while he immediately escaped.
Li Luhua seemed to know that he was no longer there and sighed. "Since brother-in-law is here, how can he escape?"
In Bushu Heaven, Jiang Zheng escaped out of World Heaven and went all the way to Xuanyuan Heaven. When he arrived at the door of Dao Palace, Jing You was already standing there to welcome him. He bowed and said, "Congratulations on your success, Master Jiang. Please enter the hall, Old Master is waiting for you."
Jiang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Jing." He then walked into the palace.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhang Yan sitting on the jade platform with Xuan Qi covering his body. His aura rushed into the sky, and the five-colored brilliance behind him shone through the various worlds. Jiang Zheng was instantly excited, and he went forward to bow respectfully. "Disciple Jiang Zheng pays his respects to Teacher, and congratulates Teacher for your success."
Zhang Yan laughed heartily and said, "Disciple, there's no need to be so courteous. Come to Master's seat."
Jiang Zheng said yes, got up, and stood in front of the seat.
Zhang Yan looked at him for a moment, then nodded and said, "You didn't disappoint Master. Very good."
Jiang Zheng bowed and said, "Before disciple went into secluded meditation, I did my best and didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint Master."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Doing your best is doing your best. Many people cultivate the Dao, but that word is missing. If we compare the results of others, their Daoheart is only thirty or forty percent. Your Daoheart is seventy percent."
Jiang Zheng said, "If it wasn't for Master's technique, and if the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't have many opportunities, disciple might not be where I am today."
Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "Perhaps you feel that your talent is inferior to that of your fellow disciples, but success is success. There's no need to think about the original. Even if you want to ask about the Great Dao, you should ask about the future, not the past."
Jiang Zheng seemed to understand and bowed. "Many thanks for Master's teachings."
Zhang Yan asked a few more questions, then said, "You came out of seclusion at the right time. Master has a matter that I want you to take care of."
Jiang Zheng hurriedly said, "Please give me your instructions, Master."
Zhang Yan told him about the matter in the Unknown World, then said, "This matter will happen half a year from now. Before that, you can sit and watch in Xuanyuan Heaven, or you can go to other places to cultivate. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to me at any time to ask for advice."
Jiang Zheng had always been cautious. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master, according to what Junior Brother Yuan sensed, there might be some powerful people lurking behind, or some kind of plot. Given disciple's cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them. I'm not afraid to go, but I'm afraid I'll ruin Master's plan."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's a fellow Daoist who will go with you." As they spoke, the vague image of a half snake and half turtle flashed in the hall. Then, a wisp of water rose and entered Jiang Zheng's sleeve. He said, "If anything happens, this fellow Daoist will come to help."
Jiang Zheng recognized that it was the Black Tortoise, a divine beast, and immediately felt relieved. He bowed and said, "Disciple understands."
Zhang Yan gave him a few more instructions and then dismissed him.
After Jiang Zheng came out, he returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm. First, he went to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake to pay a visit to Eldest Sister Liu Yanyi. After coming out, he went to Weizi Hongyao's Yin Mountain and stayed there for a few days before coming to the Kunshi Continent.
He knew that the Wang sisters had already reincarnated. This time, he had come out of seclusion, so it was reasonable for him to pay a visit. After determining the direction, with a thought, he arrived outside a vast Dao Academy.
The gatekeeper saw him appear silently outside the door and guessed that he must be an upper realm cultivator. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "May I know where you come from?"
Jiang Zheng said politely, "Please inform the two Senior Sisters that Jiang Zheng has come to pay a visit."
The gatekeeper immediately ordered someone to report.
At this moment, the Wang sisters were in the hall looking at Daoist books. When they heard that Jiang Zheng had come, Wang Caiwei said happily, "So it's Fifth Junior Brother. Sister, come with me to welcome him."
When the two sisters arrived at the door, they saw a young cultivator standing there. When he saw them coming out, he clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Sisters."
The two sisters returned the greeting.
Wang Caiwei saw that Jiang Zheng's body was covered in clear light. He had indeed succeeded in his Daoist cultivation. She was happy for him and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, I heard a few days ago that you had broken through. I must congratulate you."
Jiang Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Sisters."
After exchanging greetings in front of the door, the two sisters invited Jiang Zheng into the hall and told the servants to prepare a banquet to welcome him.
Wang Caiwei called another servant and said, "Go tell Junior Brother Cen that Junior Brother Jiang is in my monastery. Invite him over for a chat."
The servant immediately left to carry out the order.
The three of them sat down in the hall and talked about the things that had happened after they parted. They recalled the old matters of cultivating in the nine continents and were filled with emotions.
Wang Caiwei said, "Fifth Junior Brother, are you planning to cultivate in front of Teacher or are you returning to Pengyuan Sect?"
Jiang Zheng said, "I'm planning to set up a cave abode in the Kun Shi Continent."
This time, he would not return to Pengyuan Sect.
He had been in Pengyuan Sect for three thousand years and protected the sect for three thousand years. It could be said that he had done his best. Before he severed his mortal body, he had left behind all his experiences in cultivating the Mortal Shedding. It could be considered that he had officially severed this karma.
Although the elders of Pengyuan Sect were reluctant, they knew that the fate between the two parties had come to an end. As a disciple of Qincang, it was impossible for Jiang Zheng to stay here forever. He would eventually have to return to his sect.
However, although the fate had come to an end, the friendship between them still existed. After all, many people in Pengyuan Sect could be considered his juniors. This door was not closed. Before he left, the Heavenly Fire that could pierce through the heavens and the earth expressed its intention to take care of the various continents. He believed that even if the Pengyuan Sect encountered any trouble in the future, others would give him some face.
Wang Caiwei turned around and said, "Opening up a cave abode is not a small matter. Junior Brother, do you have any disciples following you?"
Jiang Zheng shook his head. Although he had taught many disciples, they were all considered disciples of Pengyuan Sect. The one they worshiped was Patriarch Jing Cang, not Zhang Yan or Patriarch Great Underworld. As for himself, he did not have a personal disciple.
Wang Caiwei said, "How about I recommend someone to Junior Brother?"
Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "The recommendation of the two senior sisters will definitely be good."
Wang Caiwei took care of him and ordered someone to bring Zhong 'er over. She told him about her past experiences.
When Jiang Zheng heard that, he nodded. He did not have any disciples, so it was suitable for him to take in such a child. At the very least, he could pass the test of temperament. He asked, "What's your name?"
Zhong 'er said, "My name is Wu Qianzhong."
Jiang Zheng said warmly, "Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"
Zhong 'er had been in the Dao Academy for so many days. He was no longer as ignorant as when he first arrived. Just by listening to the conversation in the hall, he knew that Jiang Zheng, Yuan Shangzhen, and the Wang sisters were all disciples of the Dao Ancestor. He was still young and did not understand what the Dao Ancestor represented. He only knew that his sister had become a disciple of the Wang sisters. As her brother, he could not be inferior to them. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Zheng. "Greetings, Teacher. “
