Several days passed as Zhang Yan flew on the cloud.
He looked at the boundless mountains and rivers between the two continents, the picturesque mountains and rivers. He also sighed with emotion in his heart. If he was just an ordinary person, he would only look through the green and jade and sigh. How could he ride the wind and travel tens of thousands of li, roaming the world like this?
Twenty years had passed since he left the Qincang School. He had already succeeded in refining pills and was very different from when he was at the Mystic Light Realm. Every move he made was accompanied by mist and fog.
Once a cultivator stepped into the Core Transformation Realm, the profound energy in the cultivator's body would transform into the baleful energy within the Core. When it soared and circulated, it would be like mist and mist, auspicious and auspicious clouds. It was truly vast and ethereal, light and otherworldly, and had the aura of an immortal.
Above the misty clouds in the sky, between the north and the south, there were countless strong gales raging. The clouds were like dragons and tigers, and they roared like the tide. When Zhang Yanfang arrived here, it was extremely difficult for him to even stabilize his flying light. But now, he was flying through the blue sky as if he was doing nothing, free and unrestrained, and he didn't feel the slightest hindrance.
As he was flying, his eyes turned and he suddenly saw a tall and dangerous mountain. The peak was lonely and the cliff was thousands of feet high. It was very majestic.
He couldn't help but praise it in his heart. He pressed down on the cloud and landed on the peak of the mountain. Looking at the waves of the sea of clouds, it was like a boundless giant wave, slowly rolling and forming wind and clouds. His mind calmed down and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He experienced the many wonders of the pill after it was formed.
He opened his palm and looked over. A white smoke flew out from his acupuncture point. With a change of his mind, it turned into a flying horse, a white elephant, a fierce bird, a flood dragon, and many other shapes.
Seeing that the smoke could be controlled at will, he couldn't help but nod his head slightly. He exerted force again and the smoke rolled forward, instantly splitting a ravine in the sea of clouds in front of him.
Zhang Yan was also surprised. He didn't expect the power of his pill to be so great. He couldn't help but think. Even the Primordial Unity Golden Fire Mystic Light would be instantly destroyed if it were to encounter this kind of smoke.
He stood silently for a moment, then stretched out two fingers and pointed. Two wisps of smoke flew out from his fingertips. One of them was a green mist. On his finger was the Blue Mist Wave. As he used his Xuan Qi to control it, the two wisps of mist immediately changed color. Five lights flowed. However, if he was distracted for even a moment, the radiance would fade away and turn back into two puffs of white smoke.
When a cultivator was at the Mystic Light Realm, their Mystic Light would belong to the five elements because they cultivated Xuan Seeds. This pill fiend was the same, but it was a pill fiend. But it could not be distinguished purely from external appearances.
Zhang Yan had once heard from Fan Changqing that after the pill was formed, there were many female cultivators who liked to gather sand essences of various colors and refine them into the baleful pill. Although this couldn't increase the might of the baleful pill, in this way, no matter if it was fighting with others or flying through the clouds, the baleful qi they summoned would always be extremely beautiful, bright, and gorgeous.
Zhang Yan preferred black colors, but he didn't want to waste time gathering sand essences to change the appearance of the baleful qi. Moreover, those cultivators who flew in the sky with thick black clouds were people of the Demon Dao. They weren't from the orthodox Xuan sects, so they were just inviting trouble for themselves.
He smiled faintly and waved his sleeve. The wisps of smoke suddenly dispersed and turned into a vast cloud that covered the mountains and the sea. It mixed with the sea of clouds and churned endlessly.
At this time, a pondering expression appeared on his face. After a while, he sat down cross-legged and circulated the Five Elemental True Light.
After a while, he stopped the incantation and thought to himself, "Sure enough, after stepping into the Core Transformation stage, I can cultivate the Five Elemental True Light much faster than before. With my current magic power, it will only take me a few months to cultivate the Earth Elemental True Light to the initial stage. When I return to the sect, I will have one more thing to rely on when fighting with others."
Earlier, when he was on Divine Crossing Peak, even though he refined his acupoints every single day, he hadn't given up on this technique and cultivated it bitterly without end. In terms of cultivation, he'd attained five or six years of attainment now, and he was only a step away.
He coveted the position of the top ten disciples and knew that when the time came, he would definitely fight with his fellow sect members. It would be good to have more tricks up his sleeve. Moreover, after returning to the sect, he might not be free for a period of time and might not have the time to settle down and cultivate. Therefore, he prepared to cultivate outside for a few more days and improve his Dao technique a bit before returning to the sect.
However, before returning to the sect, he still had a few things to do.
First, he had an agreement with Hibiko Higashi. Hibiko Higashi would protect him when he left Mount Qing Cun. After he condensed his Dan, he would have to return the Ganoderma to Hibiko Higashi.
Another thing was that he had promised Mister Shi that he would recommend one of his juniors to the Xuanmen Sect to cultivate.
He already had a plan in mind for this matter. He wanted to recommend this old junior to the Beichen Sect. That day, he promised Elder Yan to go overseas and bring back a few juniors. Although this matter had changed, he still had to give an explanation when he returned. Moreover, Lu Meiniang would bring her brother to his Heavenly Lake of Zhao You to cultivate. This woman was Elder Yan's official wife, so he couldn't not mention her. As for the junior Mister Shi, he could bring him along.
When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered something. His expression changed and he shouted, "Where is Zhang Ju?"
Following this shout, a young boy with delicate features came out. However, his face was old and steady. He bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Master, I am here. What instructions do you have for me?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I asked you to take care of the treasure's true spirit that day. How is it now?"
Mountain River Child said, "Master, this true spirit's intelligence was originally not high. She was tricked by her master and tried to use the true spirit's essence to break her Nascent Soul. She wanted to use this to become a Heavenly Abode. However, she failed on the verge of success. Not only did she die, her true spirit's vitality was greatly damaged. Now, she can't even remember who she is."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Let me see."
Mountain River Child responded. He didn't seem to move, but a painting of mountains and rivers unfolded under his feet. In the painting, there were mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, birds and beasts.
He called out softly. Not long after, a thirteen or fourteen year old girl in white walked out of the painting. Her black hair draped over her shoulders, her eyebrows like willow leaves, and her chin was sharp. Her face was delicate and elegant, but her face was pale. Her body was petite and slightly thin, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind. When she looked around, her eyes were slightly blank.
When she looked at Zhang Yan, her shoulders trembled and her eyes revealed fear. She hurriedly hid behind Mountain River Child and didn't dare to poke her head out. However, her body was still trembling.
Mountain River Child smiled bitterly and said, "She was frightened by the North Dark Sword Spirit on you. Therefore, she is especially afraid of you. If you want to sacrifice and refine this treasure, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Zhang Yan shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect a killing treasure to become like this."
Mountain River Child also sighed and said, "A few hundred years ago, I met her once. At that time, she didn't look like this. She really had a murderous aura and was extremely fierce. When she used it, she would take lives. I don't know how many powerful cultivators have been killed by this blade, but now she has ended up like this. I think it's because she followed the wrong master."
After Zhang Yan killed Shen Ming Gu of the Chongyue True Temple, he found the "Yin Killing Blade" in his sleeve. However, for some reason, the true spirit in the blade looked extremely weak, as if it could dissipate at any time.
Zhang Yan had vaguely heard of the original reputation of this blade. It was extremely fierce. If it hadn't been sacrificially refined, it would be extremely dangerous for him to keep it by his side.
However, this blade was a profound artifact. Although it was heavily injured, he had no reason to give it away. Thus, he ordered Mountain River Child to find a way to lure the True Spirit into the Mountain River Diagram.
If the magic treasure True Spirit took the initiative to enter the body of the same kind, it would be equivalent to binding one's own hands and feet, unable to use any methods. Although this Mountain River Diagram was not a killing treasure, it was still a profound artifact. Its body was sturdy, and in addition to the fact that the Yin Killing True Spirit had long forgotten its own body, it was extremely easy for Mountain River Child to coax it into the diagram, unable to come out.
Once the True Spirit in the blade was separated from the main body, Zhang Yan had no worries and boldly kept the Yin Killing Blade in his bag. Previously, he had been running around in search of medicine, so he didn't have the heart to ask about it. However, now that he had succeeded in refining the pill, he thought of this matter again.
If the magic treasure True Spirit had cultivated to the point where it could leave its body, it wouldn't be so troublesome. It could just be sacrificially refined into a body. However, in this situation, if he really wanted to control this profound artifact, the True Spirit had to agree to it.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He vaguely felt that the ownership of this magic treasure might not necessarily fall on him. This thought came out of nowhere, as if it had suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. No matter how he thought about it, there was no way to investigate it.
He smiled. It was just an external object. If he got it, it would just be the icing on the cake. If he lost it, there would be no loss. Why should he care too much about it? He then said to Mountain River Child, "Let her continue to stay in your Mountain River Diagram. We will discuss this matter when I return to the mountain."
Mountain River Child was clever and immediately agreed. He sank into the Mountain River Diagram with the Yin Killing True Spirit. Then, the diagram rolled up along the scroll and was put away.
Zhang Yan pointed his finger and the item flew back into his sleeves. Then, he soared into the sky and rode on the sword light, heading south.
It took him seven days to come to the boundary of the two continents. Now that he returned to the East Flower Continent, his speed was more than twice as fast. In just three days, he returned to the boundary of the Shen Du Peak. He looked around and saw the Flying Boat Celestial Market again. He couldn't help but think, "I still have hundreds of demon birds with me, but I don't need them anymore. It's useless to bring them back. Why don't I find a place to sell them? It's better than leaving them in the True Light."
Thinking of this, he put away the sword light and turned into a cloud of smoke that wrapped around him and headed to the Flying Boat Celestial Market.
It was noon, and there were many cultivators coming and going in the celestial market. When they saw him flying toward the gate, their faces changed. They all retreated to the sides and didn't dare to compete with him. There was a cultivator who was a bit rash. When he saw that there was no one in front of the gate, he was about to rush forward, but he was suddenly pulled back by his companion. He didn't know why, but when he was about to get angry, his companion whispered something in his ear. He looked at Zhang Yan, and his face instantly turned pale. He almost lost his balance on the cloud.
Zhang Yan naturally didn't care about them. After passing the main gate of the celestial market, he suddenly felt something. He looked at the mirror hanging on the gate and frowned. He simply put away the smoke and flew in the direction of the Treasure Jade Tower.
