After Zhang Yan sent the letter, he thought that it would take some time before there would be a reply from the other side, or perhaps there would be no reply at all.
However, what was surprising was that not long after, there were fluctuations of magic power in the void. The other party's reply had already landed outside the void.
He picked up the Jade Talisman and opened it. It was Jizhuang Daoren's reply. He said that since Zhang Yan didn't agree, then there was no harm in putting this matter aside and slowly discussing it later. Then he changed the topic and said that there was another matter that was very important right now. It was the person who had caused all the spiritual energy in the world to flourish.
He said that if he left this person alone, he wouldn't just do these things. If he took the initiative to help that existence, things would become even more troublesome. That was why he invited Zhao Jiuge to find that person and then eliminate him.
It wasn't difficult for Zhang Yan to see that Jizhuang Daoren's purpose was to suppress the cultivation of the Inner Realm cultivators to prevent that existence from returning. However, the person who had caused this spiritual energy was not here. If that person was allowed to cultivate, then even if they suppressed all their peers, it would be useless.
In truth, there might be other people of the same generation hiding in the void. According to Jizhuang Daoren's original plan, they should have joined forces to suppress and destroy these people.
However, not daring to face a strong enemy and bullying the weak instead, was not something he would do.
He thought about it for a while. When he sensed the Spiritual Vigor last time, he knew that this person was neither good nor evil. He was most likely not a cultivator of the same generation as he had imagined. Instead, he seemed to be an Innate Treasure Spirit, but there was also a possibility that he had some other background. It was unlikely that he would help that existence. If this person really wanted to do this, he wouldn't have ignored that existence and gone to do something that had caused this spiritual energy.
Now that this person had caused this spiritual energy and didn't seem to want to stop, Zhao Jiuge felt that even if there was a way to stop it, there was no need to rush. When it really stopped, it wouldn't be too late to act.
However, if the people on Ji Zhuang's side wanted to do something, he couldn't stop them. After discussing with the people in the hall for a bit, he immediately sent a letter saying that he had no time to deal with this matter.
Seeing that this matter was settled for the time being, everyone in the hall bid their farewells.
Zhang Yan waited for everyone to leave before his consciousness returned to the Qing Huan Palace. He thought about it. If the person who had caused this spiritual energy was really cooperating with that person, then even if he went to chase him, there would be no result. Even if he went to chase him, there would be no result.
In fact, he didn't reject seeing those upper realm Great Virtues, but he still needed to be vigilant. It was important to know that the existence could only be the will of one of them. It was hard to imagine how strong such a person was. If he returned right in front of him and showed malice, he didn't think he could fight against it. That existence couldn't break into Bu Tian, but it wasn't impossible for an upper realm Great Virtue to do so.
Thinking of this, he decided to get rid of the strange power in Bu Tian as soon as possible. If he could do this, then Bu Tian's defense would be greatly improved.
Before his cultivation reached the second realm, he could feel the existence of these strange powers, but he couldn't touch them, let alone do anything to them. But now, as his cultivation improved, he felt that it wouldn't be difficult for him to fight against the weaker ones.
And as long as he could collide with them, he could gradually expel them. After all, these were all left behind by the powerful people in the past, so he might be able to see more of the Great Dao from them.
As he sat and watched, three years passed without him noticing.
One day, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He came out of his meditation and looked in a certain direction. There, a Muddy Realm was about to approach Bu Tian. Perhaps it would arrive soon.
If his judgment was correct, this should be the place where the Shaoqing predecessors ascended. Since Muddy Realm was here, he definitely had to investigate it.
However, the Shaoqing Sect was an ally. If he went there, it was best to call a fellow Shaoqing Sect member to go with him.
And he also needed to send a disciple, who had at least entered the Mortal Transformation Realm.
He thought for a while. His eldest disciple, Liu Yanyi, was the most suitable. She also cultivated the Sword Pill, and her strength was sufficient. But because of this, it wasn't appropriate to send her. Because he knew that before Sect Master Yue took over, there was another sect in the Shaoqing Sect. They viewed all sword wielders outside the sect as heretics. Although not everyone in that realm was like that, knowing this, there was no need to initiate conflict. After all, the two sects were on good terms.
He called Jing You in and ordered, "Go find Tian Kun."
Not long after, Tian Kun came into the hall. He bowed and said, "Disciple pays his respects to Master."
Zhang Yan said, "Outside the Heavens, a Muddy Realm has descended. Master needs you to go there. However, this place is suspected to be the place where the Shaoqing predecessors ascended. Master will find a fellow Shaoqing Daoist to go with you. After you return, you can make some preparations."
Tian Kun bowed and said, "Disciple obeys."
In the Mountain and Sea Realm's Tianyue, the competition was still ongoing. With the arrival of the sects from beyond the Heavens, the competition had evolved into a contest between the disciples of the Mountain and Sea Realm and their peers from beyond the Heavens.
Yue Xueyan stood on a flying peak, the Sword Pill circling around her.
After experiencing the Heart Test in the Fog, in addition to the past ten years of competition, her temperament had been polished to an incomparably perfect state. The originally pure white Sword Pill had become as pure as colored glass, and there was a trace of intelligent Sword Awareness within it that resonated with her.
Currently, she had won every match in the competition and had yet to meet a worthy opponent. In the end, many of her opponents admitted defeat as soon as they saw her.
In fact, she was not the only one. Almost all the other Shaoqing disciples who had survived the Fog were active in the Competition Grand Meet. Almost none of them had ever lost a match against their peers.
To them, they could compete with others every day, and they could also experience the different methods of the various sects. They could fight against even more powerful opponents. It was indeed like a Grand Meet, and many of their fellow disciples were incomparably envious of this.
Among her peers, the only ones who could be considered opponents were her peers from Qincang School. However, up until now, both sides had yet to meet. It was not that there was no chance, but that the upper echelons had deliberately separated the two sides. Only at the end of the Grand Meet, Just Now, would there be a chance for them to meet.
Yue Xueyan was also looking forward to that day. As her fighting spirit rose in her heart, the Sword Pill let out a clear sword hum.
A streak of white flew over from afar and arrived in front of her in an instant. It was a Shaoqing disciple. He bowed to her and said, "Senior Sister, Grandmaster is looking for you. He seems to want to take care of something."
Yue Xueyan thanked him and circulated her magic power. In an instant, her sword flew up, and she turned into a streak of light and flew away.
The flying peak was not far from the Shaoqing base. Not long after, she returned. After entering the hall, she saw that a few Yuanying elders were also there, while Ran Xiushu was standing on the stairs. Thus, she went up to greet him.
Ran Xiushu looked at her a few times and said with satisfaction, "Xue Yan, you've done well these past ten years. Hmm, even though you've learned the Killing Sword, you're still my disciple after all. You've done me proud."
You Ning muttered something at the side.
Yue Xueyan sighed softly. Every once in a while, her grandmaster would take turns to call her and a few other disciples over to encourage them. He wanted to show off his existence, and he would never get tired of it. She had already gotten used to it over the years.
Ran Xiushu said, "The Shaoqing Flying Sword's Killing Sword Technique is known throughout the world. You've contributed to it as well. Today, I'll bestow you with a strand of Jun Yang's spiritual essence."
As he spoke, he extended his finger and a streak of light entered her body.
The few Yuanying elders were shocked. Jun Yang's spiritual essence was extremely useful, and it could even be used to elevate one's grotto-heaven. However, Yue Xueyan had not even completed her Yuanying cultivation. Wasn't it too early to give her such a reward? If she kept this on her, it would probably only attract others' greed.
You Ning raised her head and said, "This, Master …"
Ran Xiushu waved his hand and said, "I'm willing to give it to you. You don't have to say anything."
You Ning curled her lips and said softly, "I didn't give it to me when I performed a meritorious deed back then."
Ran Xiushu looked at Yue Xueyan and said slowly, "Although this thing is good, it might cause many people to come and snatch it. If you're not willing to accept it, you can return it."
Yue Xueyan said without hesitation, "Thank you, grandmaster, for bestowing it. I'm confident that I can protect it."
Ran Xiushu smiled. He had already received a letter from the sect asking him to go with his fellow Daoists from Qincang School to the place where a senior from the sect was suspected to have ascended. Because he had to leave early, he had given out the reward that was supposed to be reserved for the last time in advance. Seeing that he had finished giving out instructions, he changed his mind and leaped into the sky before everyone's eyes.
In the next moment, he arrived in the sky and saw that a young Daoist with a calm expression was already waiting there. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, you're too kind."
Tian Kun returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Ran, are you ready?"
Ran Xiushu nodded and confidently put his sleeves behind his back. He said, "We can set off."
Tian Kun took out a Jade Talisman from his sleeve and sent it out. In an instant, a spiritual light spread out in front of him. He said, "This is a door between two worlds that Master used his magic to open. From here, we can go to …" He paused, realizing that Ran Xiushu had already entered before he could finish his sentence, so he silently followed.
As soon as he passed through the portal, he saw Ran Xiushu hovering in midair, looking around at the world around him. He looked around, and realized that this place didn't look very different from an ordinary Heaven Realm. However, the spiritual opportunity here was flourishing, and could even be compared to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, after sensing it, he found that this place was somewhat different from the immortal abode that he had imagined. There were cities and settlements everywhere, and most of them were mortals. He could vaguely sense a strong aura, but when he tried to find it, he could not feel it.
Ran Xiushu said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, from the looks of it, if there is an almighty cultivator, he might be hiding in a world within a world. Since we can't find him at the moment, why don't we go around and see if we can find some clues?"
Tian Kun said in a low voice, "As long as you think it's feasible."
Ran Xiushu made some calculations, and his eyes lit up. He said, "That's interesting. Follow me, Fellow Daoist." With a shift, he was already flying in a direction.
