Outside the cave, snow filled the sky. The deeper he went into the Little Cold World, the colder it became. Zhang Yan looked up, drinking wine to resist the cold while reading the stone inscriptions on the cave wall.
This was the last cave residence he had searched, because it was almost the northernmost part of the Little Cold Realm. Most of the cultivators who could come here were people with profound cultivation and firm Taoist hearts. They came with the intention of not turning back until they succeeded. They were far more powerful than the people he had met before.
He even read a sense of joy from some of the words. It was obvious that this person successfully broke through the realm at the last moment, left the hidden door of life and death, and saw the sun and the moon again.
Although Zhang Yan did not know which senior from the sect this was, and how many years ago he had been cultivating here, he was also affected by the joy after breaking through the gate of heaven. He immediately picked up the wine bottle and raised it to congratulate him. Then he raised his neck, and a silver thread flowed from the bottle into his throat, turning into a hot stream that flowed into his stomach, warming up his body.
It was quiet here, so he stayed in the cave for a few days. He briefly sorted out what he had gained from this trip, and counted with his fingers. It had been twenty-five days since he entered this world. He thought to himself, "Today should be the day to leave this world."
He got up and walked out of the cave door, and saw the cold wind blowing in front of him, the sky was full of hail rain, the world was white like a silver blanket, but in the extreme north, all the wind and snow were blocked by an invisible force, and could not enter at all. Even just by standing here, he felt a sharp Qi that made his skin feel like it was going to crack, as if it was stopping him from moving forward. That must be the person who was imprisoned by Elder Yuan Zhonglao.
Zhang Yan was not that curious to see what was going on, the person who was imprisoned here must be a powerful cultivator. It was not someone he could come into contact with with his current level of cultivation, it was better to leave as soon as possible. After a few glances, he shouted, jumped on the cloud, and flew away.
When it was noon, he took out the Talisman that Elder Yuan gave him and opened it, and a golden light flashed around him, carrying him up. In an instant, he broke through the barrier and came out of this world. In his eyes, the world changed, and he saw white clouds, blue sky, blue sea, and a cool breeze. The sun hung high in the sky.
Looking up from there, desolate. The chilly wind howled as he came out of the boundary. His heart and body immediately felt relaxed. With a long whistle, he shook his sleeves and flew towards the south.
The journey back was also uneventful. Not long after, they returned to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake and opened the formation gate. Just Now when he entered the main hall, he saw Luo Xiao, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, came up and bowed, "This servant awaits Master's return."
Zhang Yan paused, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "When did Fellow Daoist Luo return to the mansion? Did your trip go smoothly? "
Luo Xiao smiled tenderly and said, "Actually not long after Master left, I have already returned to the residence. The journey was smooth and the most stable. However, there is one thing that I have to discuss with Master. That Madam Chen is a mortal. His body was weak and he could not endure the cold energy in the Clear Nether Lake. Thus, I made the decision to let Kun 'er bring his mother to the nine cities to settle down. "
Zhang Yan nodded his head and said, "That is good too. After Kun 'er entered my sect, he has not been to the mountain gate. This trip can be done along the way."
Luo Xiao giggled and said, "This time when Kun 'er went to the nine cities, something interesting happened."
Zhang Yan was instantly interested and said, "What is it?"
Luo Xiao told him the story. That day when Tian Kun injured the dragon horse, he was stopped by Madam Wang. After an argument, they found out that Tian Kun was Zhang Yan's second disciple. Wang Family instantly panicked.
They had thought that their son would be able to enter Zhang Yan's tutelage, but they did not expect that their daughter would offend her senior brother before even entering the sect.
However, this was not the most important thing. According to the rumors in the outside world, the moment Zhang Yan returned to the mountain gate, he killed Wan Zhang and Wen An. It was said that it was because these two had provoked Liu Yanyi. It was obvious that this person was extremely protective of his people. It was not a loss to be his disciple. Madam Wang decided to let her daughter enter Zhang Yan's tutelage. Other than his first-grade Core, it was not without this reason. However, Wang Family was also very afraid of this and tried to curry favor with Tian Kun and his mother.
The master of Madam Wang was old and shrewd. It did not take long for her to see that this matter only needed to go through Madam Chen. Thus, she was very attentive. Not only did she buy a house and land for Madam Chen, she sent people and money, and arranged a suitable place for her to stay. She even had the intention to marry her daughter to Tian Kun.
Although Madam Chen thought that her son could cultivate and live a long life, it would be best if she could have a grandson early on. She also felt that since the other party's daughter was also going to enter Zhang Yan's tutelage, it could be considered a suitable match. In the future, there would be someone to take care of in the sect. Thus, her heart was moved.
However, everyone knew that without Zhang Yan's approval, this matter would not be possible. Thus, she anxiously asked Luo Xiao to come back and find out what was going on.
Zhang Yan thought about it and smiled gently. He said, "Kun 'er is really lucky. There are not too many taboos and rules in my sect. Madam Chen is Kun' er's mother. Since she has the intention, and if Kun 'er himself does not resist, I, as his master, will naturally not stop him. It's just that it doesn't affect his cultivation."
To him, this was only a small matter.
Ever since he came back from the Little Cold World, he was deeply touched. As the saying goes, the master leads the way and the cultivation is up to the individual. If the disciple only wanted to live a few hundred years longer and only wanted to enjoy glory and wealth, he could also fulfill his wish. Only those who had a firm heart of Dao and only wanted to live a long life would Just Now be the inheritor of the orthodoxy.
He thought in his heart, Kun 'er is the reincarnation of a great demon. If he really has a chance to reach the Great Dao, he will naturally be able to break free from the web of the mortal world. However, if his Dao heart is obscured by the smoke and clouds of wealth, I can still guarantee him a life of glory. As long as I have repaid the karma of the past, this will be a test.
When Luo Xiao heard Zhang Yan's agreement, she was instantly delighted. She said, "Good. Since Master has spoken, then this matter is settled. I will inform Madam Chen later."
Zhang Yan glanced at her. She was so anxious. So she was waiting for his reply. However, he could understand Madam Chen's heart as a parent.
However, Luo Xiao did not move. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if that's the case, then one of the Wang sisters is married to Tian Kun. If he only accepts her as a disciple in name, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"
Zhang Yan frowned slightly. He said, "The Wang sisters? Why? Are the two disciples that Yang Fanghe found for me both from the Wang family? "
Although he was not very concerned about this matter, if this Yang Fanghe dared to use his personal favor, he could not let him off easily.
Luo Xiao's beautiful eyes widened. She said, "Isn't this what Master said?"
Zhang Yan was surprised. He asked, "What did I say?"
Luo Xiao sighed. She said, "Master previously said that the two disciples that you are looking for should be like Ning Chongxuan's disciple. However, Ning Chongxuan's two disciples are a pair of twelve year old twin sisters. It is said that they are as beautiful as flowers and have excellent aptitude. Therefore, their aptitude must not be bad and they must be sisters from the same mother. Because of this matter, Yang Fanghe worried so much that he finally chose this Wang family."
Zhang Yan could not help but feel that it was funny. That day, he only said this casually. He did not expect it to be like this. No wonder Yang Fanghe's expression was strange that day.
He could not help but shake his head. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, then accept the sisters as inner disciples."
He did not care about accepting a few more disciples. Compared to those masters and disciples who easily accepted dozens or hundreds of disciples, this was considered a small number.
Luo Xiao said happily, "Since this is the case, can Master choose a suitable day to invite a few disciples to come and observe the ceremony?"
Inviting friends from the same sect to observe the ceremony was a proper thing to do. Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and nodded. He said, "Yes, this matter will be handled by you and Yan Yi. There is no need to say more to me."
"Yes, Master. Then this servant will take her leave." Luo Xiao bowed and left with a face full of joy.
Zhang Yan returned to the main residence and sat down cross-legged. He took out a dendrogram of True Sand and refined it into Spiritual Essence. This was his daily homework. Even when he was in the Little Cold Realm, he did not neglect it.
As for the Vitality Pure Jade, he was not ready to absorb it yet. This thing was used to increase the power of the Dan. What he lacked now was not the power of the Dan, but he could not evolve it into supernatural power. This thing had to wait until he had cultivated the Dan Sha to its limit. It could be used Just Now.
After he finished absorbing the essence Qi of the True Sand, he entered into a meditative state and began to meditate.
At the same time, on the Pan Chi Island, a small flying sword flew into the temple on the island and landed in Feng Zhen's hand. He opened the sword and took a look, then sneered and said, "Hm, I was wondering why this Zhang Yan disappeared after he entered the mountain gate a few days ago. Turns out he went to the Small Cold World."
Feng Zhen was ordered by his Shifu to fight against Zhang Yan in three years to seek justice for Tu Xuan and Wan Zhang. Therefore, he had to find a way to understand Zhang Yan's background.
Although he was hostile to Zhang Yan, the latter was a first-grade Dan cultivator after all. He might have many tricks that Feng Zhen didn't understand. Therefore, Feng Zhen had been paying attention to Zhang Yan's every move.
Sitting in front of Feng Zhen was Taoist Mo, who had watched the battle on Luanming Ji with him that day. When he heard this, he also frowned and said, "Little Cold Domain, why did Zhang Yan go to that domain?"
Feng Zhen pondered and said, "I'm afraid he went to look for the experiences of those ancestors. Although Zhou Chongju has a high cultivation, he is not from our sect after all. In terms of cultivation, it won't be of much help to him."
The two of them glanced at each other. Although they had roughly guessed what Zhang Yan wanted to do, they didn't underestimate him at all. Especially Feng Zhen, he felt a bit heavy in his heart.
From this action, it could be seen that the Master and his disciple must have bestowed some kind of cultivation method to Zhang Yan. Therefore, he wanted to seek the knowledge of that predecessor. However, as to which of the Three Gong and Five Classics he practiced, outsiders did not know.
Priest Mo said absent-mindedly, "Junior brother, don't worry. What can he cultivate in three years' time?"
However, Feng Zhen's face was gloomy. He was much more familiar with Zhang Yan than Priest Mo. He knew that this person definitely couldn't be underestimated and couldn't be judged by common sense. Moreover, Zhang Yan was a first-grade Dan cultivator and had the ability to pull nine whales. He was also in the first tier of the Core Transformation Realm like himself. If they were to fight in three years' time, Feng Zhen really didn't have the confidence to win.
He slammed the table in annoyance and said through gritted teeth, "Zhang Yan is a cunning person. I must know which cultivation method he cultivates. Otherwise, if I rush into battle during the sect's competition, I will definitely be taken advantage of by him!"
