While Zhang Yan was thinking about how to control more Daoist magics, he received a message from Ying Kong and Xiang Ming. Both of them said that they could observe the purple-robed Daoist and see the true name of the Good Fortune Spirit to determine who the Good Fortune Spirit was. Just in case, they could use Ying Kong as a witness.
It didn't take much thought for him to reject the idea.
It wasn't an easy thing to do. The Dao of Xiang Ming had different Daoist magics, so no one could be sure if he was telling the truth or not. Furthermore, the Good Fortune Spirit had the ability to infect the Great Virtue, so there was nothing wrong with him. If he wasn't careful, he could get himself into trouble.
Given the current situation, he needed to eliminate as many variables as possible, so he couldn't do this.
However, he also knew that the two of them had already guessed that this would happen, and yet they still did it. They were probably trying to prove to him that they had no selfish motives, and hoped that he wouldn't target them.
He hadn't planned to do that. He had already calculated that the two Great Virtue who were supposed to return with him might be stuck in the Tribulation power, but they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Once they returned, the remaining Tribulation power would no longer be able to hold back the Good Fortune Spirit. At that point, he needed to perfect his own Daoist magics, and not cause unnecessary trouble.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, in the Southern Sieve Hundred Continents, there was a barren desert without any signs of life. Thousands of meters below the surface of the desert, there was a massive palace complex.
Years ago, there had been no signs of life in this place, and it was only after Hong You's teachings that life began to grow.
Most of the disciples were mortals, and cultivators couldn't interfere with the mortal world. They needed people to take care of them, feed them, and take care of them. Therefore, in addition to cultivators, most of the people here were servants.
Currently, there were more than two hundred disciples here, and the servants and attendants responsible for serving them numbered more than ten thousand.
For someone of Hong You's cultivation base, he could teach millions upon millions of disciples, but there was no need for that. Only the most talented disciples would be able to make progress in his teachings.
That way, when they grew up, he would be able to see the many changes in his teachings. If he could find the flaws, he would be able to make his teachings even more perfect.
At this moment, Hong You was receiving Ran Xiushu. She was also the first visitor since Hong You established this place of inheritance.
Ever since the last time they toured the various sects, Ran Xiushu felt that Hong You's temperament was very much to his liking. No matter what you said, he would not be impatient. If you wanted to spar with him, he would agree to it.
Most importantly, this was an extremely good opponent. Especially now that Hong You's Qi had returned to its peak, he was even more satisfied.
Where else could he find such a good opponent? He decided not to tell anyone at the door.
At this moment, the two of them happened to talk about the Origin Jade. Ran Xiushu said, "In this battle for the Origin Jade, the ownership has already been determined. In the end, it was taken by Yanjiao."
Hong You said in a low voice, "It's not strange. The passageway between the two realms is controlled by the Yan Sect, and the Yan Sect's influence in the Darkmirror Sky isn't small. The possibility of them seizing the Origin Jade is the greatest."
Ran Xiushu asked curiously, "Why aren't you fighting for the origin jade this time?"
Hong You said, "Fellow Daoist didn't go as well?"
Ran Xiushu shook her head and said, "That's different. Shaoqing already has a Origin Jade, and I believe that my cultivation still needs to be sharpened. Why should I waste my effort on it?"
Shaoqing Sect's Sect Master, Yue Xuanxiao, was currently cultivating. Before there was a result, they wouldn't fight for the second Origin Jade. However, although they, the upper realm cultivators, didn't go, their disciples were sent to gain experience.
Hong You said, "Fellow Daoist is right. Recently, I've been thinking about the defeat I suffered in front of the Origin Yang Gate. Although I dare not say that I saw anything clearly, I did gain something. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I haven't sharpened myself enough. Even if I obtain the Origin Jade, what's the use? It's very likely that I won't be able to enter the upper realm. "
At this moment, he already understood that this was actually because of the flaws in his Innate Cultivation Method.
Even if you don't understand the cultivation methods of the big sects in the beginning, the path is there. You just have to follow it.
However, he was different. The Origin Yang Sect's cultivation method had its limitations. It was something that he had forged by himself. Furthermore, he didn't know where he was going. Unless he was someone like Shen Chong, he really couldn't compare to the upper echelons of the big sects.
Fortunately, after reaching the third realm, he had endless time to immerse himself in polishing his cultivation method. Now, he was glad that he didn't delay his pursuit of the Origin Jade.
At this moment, he said, "When these disciples have some achievements, I will take them to visit the various sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm. When the time comes, I hope that your sect's disciples will not be stingy in teaching us."
Ran Xiushu laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist's words are exactly what I want. I can't ask for more!"
In a place of fortune outside of Bu Xu Heaven, in a certain world, a hut suddenly appeared in the sky.
The interior of the hut was wide and spacious. Jiang Zheng was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat. When he heard the ringing of a golden bell, he awoke from his meditation. Looking outside, he thought to himself, "I wonder where I am this time."
Ever since he had obtained this hut, he had wandered around the myriad of Heavens and Realms. However, he rarely visited fellow Daoists. Most of the time, he traveled through the mountains and rivers, observing the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the world. Occasionally, if he came across someone with outstanding talent, he would enter the mortal world to give them some pointers and leave behind a legacy of his own.
He felt that the mortal world was far more exciting than the rigid and dull life of many Daoist cultivators. As he experienced the different worlds, his state of mind gradually became more harmonious. Although he didn't deliberately cultivate, the growth of his cultivation was actually more beneficial than when he cultivated in seclusion.
This wasn't to say that traveling was better than cultivation, but rather that such a cultivation method was more suitable for him. In fact, most Daoist cultivators tended to stick to the old ways, and often missed out on many opportunities.
It was the same for him in the past. In fact, he admired freedom in his heart. In the past, in order to repay karma, he had always been tied to Pengyuan Sect. Later on, this fate came, and he followed his heart. Instead, his spirit was unobstructed, and his Qi dynamic was more harmonious.
He looked down and saw that this was the location of a planet. The vast ocean was divided into mountains and land, and the islands were scattered like stars. Looking down from the sky, the sea was blue, the air was white, and the red soil was black. It could be said that it was a colorful place that nurtured living beings. However, the spiritual vigor here was weak, and it only gathered in some special places.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but nod. With a thought, a clone was cast onto the land and began to travel. However, he didn't deliberately use his mana to sense the living beings of the entire planet. That would be a lot less fun.
Within a few years, he passed through mountains and oceans, and went to many places. He realized that there were living beings here, but most of them were uncivilized. Most of them wore animal skins and held wooden spears and stone axes.
He originally thought that this world would be like this, until one day, he arrived at a high plateau. Just now, he realized that was not the case.
There was a large country here, with a population of ten million. They cultivated fertile fields, herded cows and horses, built cities with metallurgy, and built water conservancy projects. They were far different from the other places that ate raw meat and drank blood.
When he looked again, he discovered that there was a Dharma altar in the middle of the country. Unexpectedly, there were many Daoist cultivators cultivating there. After observing for a while, he realized the origin of the altar.
"Teaching by Yan?"
He had encountered Teaching by Yan a few times in his travels in the past, but he hadn't had any serious contact with it before.
He thought that this sect seemed to have some connection with his Master. With a thought, he arrived at the Dharma altar. The disciples guarding the altar didn't notice his arrival at all.
The Altar Master seemed to sense something. Shocked, he hurriedly came out and asked, "May I ask which Exalted One is here?"
Jiang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I am Jiang Zheng, traveling from the Mountain and Sea Realm to this place. I saw that a fellow Daoist had set up a Dharma altar here, so I came to pay a visit."
The Altar Master looked surprised. He hurriedly cupped his hands again and said, "So it's a Exalted One from the Mountain and Sea Realm. I am Mi Gu, the Altar Master of this altar."
Jiang Zheng exchanged a few words with him and roughly understood the situation here. Then, he asked, "I see that every time you go to a place, you have to set up a spell altar and spread your Dao. Why is your sect doing this?"
Mi Gu said, "Of course it's to spread the Dao." He paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "My Teaching of Yan believes that humans are born into the same body. The human races in the Heavens and the Ten Thousand Realms originally came from the same source. However, there are many demons, devils, and creatures in the void in this world. They are born as humans and don't know the Dao, so they can't resist. Since we are the first, we should naturally support those who come later! In this world, not only are there people of the Dao in places with abundant spiritual opportunity, there are also countless people in those places with barren spiritual opportunity. Since my Teaching of Yan has a cultivation method that doesn't require spiritual opportunity, why don't we reach out and help? "
Jiang Zheng nodded. Over the years, he had seen many people from the Teaching of Virtue and the Teaching of Luo. Just like the Teaching of Yan, they mainly spread their Dao. However, these two sects didn't care who their believers were, nor did they care about the safety of the living beings under their rule. In comparison, the Teaching of Yan seemed to be more orderly.
He nodded and said, "The human dao is in a difficult situation. Without enlightenment, there is no way to fight against the beasts, and there is no way to fight against nature's power of creation. Regardless of the original intention of your honorable cult, at least everywhere I see, the human dao benefits. This is a good move."
Hearing his words, Mi Gu's attitude became more positive. He said, "I don't want you to agree with this idea. If I may be so bold, why don't you become the High Official of the Teaching of Yan?"
Jiang Zheng smiled and asked, "If I agree, what do I need to do?"
Mi Gu's expression turned serious. He said, "I hope that you can come and help when our branch altar is facing a great enemy. Of course, this is not an order. If you don't have time, it's fine if you don't come. If there are living beings in the branch altar that are attacked by the creatures of the void or big demons, I hope that you can help. My Teaching of Yan will not let you help for no reason. We will give you an offering every time."
After a pause, he said, "As the High Official of the Teaching of Yan, you can use any Realm Gate. In my Teaching of Yan, there are many Realm Gates that can only be passed through by people in the Teaching of Yan. If you are not a High Official, you can use this to go to any one of them."
Jiang Zheng nodded. In order to reduce the conflict with many sects, it was not as easy to pass through the Realm Gates of Yan as before. If he became a High Official, it would be much more convenient to come and go. Most importantly, the Teaching of Yan did not force him to do anything. Moreover, he did not dislike what the Teaching of Yan did.
He thought for a while and said with a smile, "There's no rush. What I've seen here is only a corner of your sect. I will go to your sect's headquarters in the future to decide on this matter."
