Before Tian Kun succeeded, Zhang Yan had already sensed it. He pondered for a while and sent out a talisman, ordering the four disciples to come to Qinghuan Palace.
Not long after, a clear light soared into the sky. Liu Yanyi, Jiang Zheng, Wei Zihong, Yuan JIngqing, and the other disciples all came to the hall. When they came to their seats, they all bowed and said, "Disciple pays respect to Master."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Dispense with the formalities. Tian Kun will succeed soon. All of you wait here."
When the disciples heard this news, they looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy.
Tian Kun had been silent for too long. Seeing that his life was coming to an end, everyone was a little worried. Now that he succeeded, they were all happy for him.
Not long after, Jing You entered the hall and reported, "Master, Tian Shang is really here."
Zhang Yan said, "Call him in."
After a while, Tian Kun strode into the hall. When he reached the steps, he came up and bowed, saying in a deep voice, "Disciple pays respect to Master. Disciple congratulates Master for his success."
He had been in seclusion for a long time and didn't know much about the outside world. However, when he arrived at the door of the hall, Jing You told him that his master had already transcended this world and should be addressed as "Grand Supreme". He was shocked and excited.
Zhang Yan said in a gratified tone, "You were able to succeed this time because you comprehended the key to the last stage in time. You didn't waste your life's cultivation."
Tian Kun bowed again and said, "Disciple is ashamed. Thank you for your concern, Master."
Liu Yanyi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Junior Apprentice Brother."
Jiang Zheng, Wei Zihong, Yuan JIngqing, and the others all came up and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother."
Tian Kun bowed back to them one by one.
He was happy when he achieved Dao, but it was only a moment of venting. At this moment, he had already calmed down and returned to his previous calmness.
From then on, five disciples under Xuanyuan School achieved Mortal Transformation.
In the past, this was completely unimaginable in the Nine Continents. However, because the Mountain and Sea Realm was rich in spiritual energy, and because Zhang Yan had unleashed numerous divine abilities, it was now much easier for Daoist cultivators to achieve their goals.
However, at the same time, the barrier of one's temperament still obstructed many people. As a result, there weren't many people in the younger generation who were able to break through. On the contrary, the upper realm cultivators who had participated in the Great War of the Nine Provinces and followed the Qincang and Shaoqing Sects to the Mountain and Sea Realm would often be able to break through their original limits. Over the years, most of the people who had broken through came from these people.
Zhang Yan felt very gratified. As a Prime Dao Patriarch, it didn't seem like much of a surprise that his disciples had reached this level. However, he knew that other than giving them guidance in their techniques, and even providing them with medicinal ingredients, he hadn't given them any extra help in improving their magical power. Without his own hard work, it would have been impossible for them to achieve what they had today.
One disciple after another from Xuanyuan School had broken through to Mortal Transformation, and could be considered to be quite powerful. However, considering the Mountain and Sea Realm as a whole, it had only been a short time since it had been built up. Although it didn't have the almighty experts at its peak, it still couldn't compare to the Yuhuan Heavens, which had flourished for millions of years.
"Second Elder Brother," Wei Zihong said, "you don't know this, but before you emerged from secluded meditation, my Elder Sisters and Junior Brothers returned to the Realm of Clear Serenity. Once they return with success, the Sect of Clear Serenity will return to its former glory."
"My Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are back?"
Tian Kun sighed inwardly. Cultivating the Dao was a timeless thing. His secluded meditation had caused many changes in the world, and yet, the camaraderie between his fellow disciples hadn't faded.
"As their Elder Brother," he thought to himself, "I haven't taken much care of them in the past. Now that I've emerged from secluded meditation, I should pay them a visit."
Liu Yanyi guessed that the reason her Master had called all five of them here was because he had something important to tell them. It wasn't just because of Tian Kun's success. After a brief conversation with her fellow disciples, she clasped hands and said, "Honored Master, why have you called me and my Junior Brothers here? Is there something you need to tell us?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Today, I have something I need you to do."
Liu Yanyi said seriously, "Please instruct us, Honored Master."
Zhang Yan directed with his mind. Spiritual light spilled out from the hall, and the scenery inside turned. He used this to show the origin of the Realm of Chaos and the image of the Great Trout in front of the disciples. He said, "This Great Trout has the ability to devour existences. An almighty person of the past saw this and divided it into five parts, each part opening up a Realm of Chaos. Now, it's showing signs of mending. If it were during normal times, we wouldn't have to care about it. However, once this thing comes back to life, it may be triggered by the Weili from beyond the heavens, which will hinder one of my great plans. Therefore, it needs to be returned to the Divine Will and destroyed first. However, due to the obstruction of that almighty Weili, if I go there, I won't be able to leave no traces behind. The remnants of the Great Trout will definitely try their best to avoid me. If you go there, you won't alarm them. "
Liu Yanyi said with a serious expression, "I understand. However, what should I do when I go there? Please instruct me, Honored Master."
Zhang Yan said, "When you arrive at the Realm of Chaos, you only need to fall into it and protect yourself. You don't need to do anything unnecessary. I can use karma to guide you and get rid of this hidden danger." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Because all of you have different cultivations and the five remnant bodies are different, in order to avoid interfering, you will enter one after the other. Once all of you are in place, I will activate the technique. The person who arrives first must protect himself to avoid being invaded by external forces. Remember this."
He then explained in detail some things that must be kept in mind. Then, he shook his sleeves and opened up a light screen in the hall. "You can go in here."
The five disciples bowed to their master and walked into the light screen. In a flash, they arrived at the place where Tao Wu was.
To prevent himself from being unable to find this place after leaving Tao Wu, Zhang Yan's consciousness had been immersed here and didn't leave. When the disciples arrived, he said, "Jiang Zheng, guard this place. The rest can go to the other heavens as Just Now said."
Liu Yanyi and the other disciples received the order. After sensing for a while, they found the other places. After a while, they disappeared from their original places.
When Zhang Yan saw that they had left along the path, he said to Jiang Zheng, who was left alone, "If I were here, Tao Wu wouldn't have fallen into a deep sleep, and the Great Trout's divine will wouldn't have appeared. I will leave in a while. You are still in charge of this place. Among my disciples, your Dao heart is the strongest. I feel the most at ease leaving this place to you."
Jiang Zheng said, "Disciple will not disappoint Honored Master."
After Zhang Yan gave his instructions, his figure slowly faded away. After a while, he completely disappeared.
Jiang Zheng bowed to the place where he disappeared and sat down cross-legged, waiting with rapt attention.
Liu Yan's heart moved according to her will. In a flash, she found herself in an even more unfamiliar place.
She stretched out her slender fingers and channeled her mana. A drop of clear water condensed on her fingertip and turned into a flat mirror. In a flash, some scenery was reflected in it.
This was the True Reflection Technique of the Northern Underworld True Water Secret Technique. Through this technique, one could see the world and see the truth directly, and not be confused by external things. At this moment, she saw that the entire world here was actually a huge head. It should be the head of the Great Trout that her Master had mentioned. She couldn't help but admire the wonders of creation and the majesty of the universe.
However, although she saw this thing, due to the difference in level between the two, she actually couldn't come into contact with it. Hence, she removed the technique and let the water mirror break.
Looking up, not far in front of her was a magnificent temple, but it was extremely dilapidated. There used to be people staying there, but now there was no trace of anyone.
She sensed that it wasn't just here. In the entire Heavenly Realm, other than her, there was no other cultivator left. Even the living creatures were only left with some plants.
She walked up the stairs and passed by the empty front hall and main hall. Finally, she came to the back hall with half of the roof collapsed. Under the starlight, there were a few memorial tablets placed there, but the words on them were already blurred and difficult to read.
She channeled her mana and tried to deduce the past, but there was a layer of Weili blocking her. She couldn't do it, so she gave up. After looking around for a while, she saw that under the sacrificial table at the highest point, there were a few jade scrolls. They were also the only intact things in this place.
She reached out and grabbed it, and pulled it over. Her consciousness entered it, and she saw that the temple recorded the life of the owner of the memorial tablets. However, there were many gaps, but from the records, it could be seen that this person had cut off his past and future body. However, the last record said that this person had died at the end of his lifespan.
Her heart trembled slightly. Such a person should have lived to the end of his lifespan, but he died like a mortal. This was undoubtedly related to the head of the giant trout.
However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that the scenery in front of her had changed. She was shocked to find that she had actually landed in her own Lingbo Small World. She felt the Qi dynamic on her body, but it had returned to before she had cut off her mortal body.
She did not panic because of this. Regarding such a situation, she had heard from Zhang Yan beforehand that the head of the giant trout was undoubtedly still in a deep sleep. It would only reject people who might cause harm to its body.
At this moment, she should have fallen into the will of the god. If she wanted to go out, she could not deliberately resist. Otherwise, due to the difference between the two sides, the pressure from this world would only increase. Thus, she could only follow its will and try to not let herself be taken away. When all the people of the same sect had gone to where they should go, she would naturally be able to escape.
She immediately sat down with determination, and guarded her mind.
The Weili continued to invade at this moment, but it was urging her to break through the realm faster.
She had a feeling that if she could not pass this stage, then what she would face was not death, but the regression of her cultivation. If she continued to fail, then she would return to being a mortal. When she came out of the god's will, perhaps this place would turn from illusion to reality.
Because her foundation was firm, she did not pass through the upper realm by luck. Right now, it was just a repeat of what happened that day. Thus, without hesitation, she stepped through this door in an instant, and regained her cultivation.
However, she had just passed through this stage, and in just an instant, she found herself back to the state Just Now.
She frowned. It should be known that every time a cultivator climbed to the upper realm, it depended on themselves and a certain amount of luck. Thus, if she were to start all over again, she might not be able to pass through safely. She was confident that she could pass through it once or twice, but she might not be able to pass through hundreds or thousands of times. If she were to go back and forth endlessly, then there would ultimately be one failure.
She could not help but think of the owner of the memorial tablet. Perhaps he had also died because of this. Thus, if she did not think of a way here, it might be difficult for her to persevere to the end.
