Most of the Demon Path and Xuanmen's cultivation were based on the Qi Path, but in terms of cultivation, they had their own emphasis.
Xuanmen focused on gathering vitality and cultivating essence Qi, while the Demon Path preferred to kill and plunder, solidifying the spirit.
For example, if a cultivator from the Celestial Sect of Wonders died, most of the cultivation that he had painstakingly cultivated would immediately dissipate, leaving only a small amount of essence energy that was closely connected to his own soul, maintaining the soul from dissipating. This was the origin spirit.
If the original spirit was not lost, they could still reincarnate as a human. If it was destroyed, the soul would scatter and no longer exist in the world.
Therefore, the body of a Xuanmen cultivator was the most important, their foundation couldn't be damaged at all.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Devil Sect were different. They focused more on condensing their souls and solidifying their Original Spirit. Even if their physical bodies were destroyed, they could still bring out most of the Essence Qi that they had painstakingly cultivated. If they could get another body, they would only need to spend a few days to cultivate their cultivation base back.
However, in this way, without a physical body to rely on, the Devil Sect's disciples had no choice but to rely on external objects to deal with their enemies, such as using baleful Yin Qi, borrowing demons and ghosts, or absorbing blood essence. There were all sorts of strange methods, and there were many more.
Zhang Yan's Spirit Contract Demon Technique was an ancient secret technique. Although it could strengthen the original spirit a little, it was of little value to him.
His body was as hard as metal, hard to be damaged by heavenly weapons. If the day came when his body was destroyed, even if his original spirit was condensed, what use would it be?
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that the last six stages of the Divine Contract were still in the Demonic Treasury. He hadn't read them yet, so there must be some other mysteries in them. After he returned to the cave abode. He might as well investigate it again.
He stood in the cave and looked around. Yu Gu Xie was dead, so the matter here was over. He needed to return to the sect to explain.
Thinking about this, his thoughts turned, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave. His shoulders shook, and he released the Water Element True Light, throwing Qian Yi out. He used a small method to wake him up, and then asked, "Let me ask you, the secret you mentioned just now, what is it?"
Qian Yi kowtowed repeatedly, then lowered his voice and explained Guo Nanxing's purpose for coming here. He then said, "Taoist Zhang, I'm sorry. I tried every possible way to find out from Martial Uncle Guo's disciple that the origin of the pair of devils is very suspicious. Perhaps the devil's cave has appeared. "
When Zhang Yan heard this, he smiled and didn't mind.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Four Great Devil Caves had been destroyed by those powerful cultivators. But they knew that one day, the world would change, and the world would undergo a change. So they'd left behind various miraculous treasures in the devil's den. It was left for future disciples to take.
However, if he took the treasures left behind by the great experts, he would also have to bear the karma. He would have to do his best to reseal the demonic cave.
Moreover, Zhang Yan was busy cultivating now, and he was about to condense his True Seal, so he naturally didn't have the mood to pay attention to such matters.
He left Qian Yi behind. But because this person was Yu Gu Xie's eldest disciple, after cleaning up the Last Chance Cave, he still needed to be captured as a witness. As for the secret, it was just a casual question.
So he didn't say much, and with a shake of his sleeve, a human bag flew out and wrapped around the person's head. He threw the bag into the sleeve, then his feet stomped, and he turned into smoke and flew out of the Last Chance Cave. After making two turns on the mountain top, he flashed and returned to Qincang School.
After flying for a few days, he re-entered the small devil's den and returned the way he came.
It had been more than two months since he left. Mo Ying and the others were meditating, and a disciple in charge of checking the flags saw a smoke coming from afar. He was instantly overjoyed, and said, "Look, Martial Uncle Zhang is back."
Hearing that, all the disciples were overjoyed, and they all opened their eyes and stood up to welcome him.
They had been in the depths of the devil's den for the past few days, and although their cultivation speed was extremely fast, Zhang Yan had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned. Therefore, they were a little uneasy and suspicious, and they weren't sure if they should leave earlier. Now that they saw this Martial Uncle with such high cultivation again, it was as if they had found a pillar of support, and their hearts calmed down.
Zhang Yan came to the flying ship, and he looked around. After not seeing him for more than sixty days, the cultivation of the disciples had greatly increased.
Especially Mo Ying and the other three disciples, they had already stepped into the Mystic Light Realm.
He nodded and smiled. "There are two more days until the middle of the moon, and when the eye of the sea opens, I will bring all of you back."
He shouted, and the rolling Pill Aura Qi was released, which wrapped around the dozen disciples, and he flew toward the eye of the sea.
This time, they didn't need to move slowly like when they came. He circulated the vast Pill Aura Qi, and they continued to fly like shooting stars with the disciples.
Two days later, Zhang Yan followed the eye of the sea and returned to the Guardian Palace.
After bringing the group of disciples up, he gave them some encouragement, and then he went into the palace to meet with Spiritual Master Peng.
Spiritual Master Peng heard that he was returning to the palace, and she didn't waste any time. She immediately invited him to the front of the palace and asked slowly, "How did it go?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't fail you."
He first told her what happened, then he threw out a human bag, pointed at it, and said, "Most of the people in the Secret Ending Manor have been killed by me. This person is Qian Yi, the eldest disciple of Yu Gujie. I captured him, and it can be considered an explanation to the Sect Master."
Spiritual Master Peng's phoenix eyes lit up. She raised her hand, and two maids brought Qian Yi back. She nodded at Zhang Yan and praised, "You did well in this matter, no one can hold anything against you."
Zhang Yan heard the hidden meaning in her words, and said, "Please enlighten me, Spiritual Master."
Spiritual Master Peng unfolded her sleeves and patted the armrest. She snorted and said, "A few days ago, someone suggested that you go to the Little Devil's Cave to suppress the devil like Zhuang Bufan. Although this is in line with the rules of the sect, the person who suggested it is not a good person. He wants you to not cultivate in peace. I argued with the Sect Master and said that you can definitely solve this matter. Just Now, you have to go to the Devil's Cave."
At this time, Zhang Yan knew the whole story, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.
However, Spiritual Master Peng didn't mention this to him in advance, and it wasn't because she wanted to hide it. The two of them were now bound together for good or bad. Even if he failed, Spiritual Master Peng would find a way to cover for him.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Spiritual Master."
Spiritual Master Peng waved her hand and said, "This is a small matter, and it's over."
She raised her wrist and gave out a Dharma token. Zhang Yan reached out and took it.
Spiritual Master Peng said, "Five days ago, Huo Xuan asked the Sect Master to summon the top ten disciples. At that time, you were still in the Little Devil's Cave and didn't know about this. Therefore, I sent the Dharma token to the Guarding Palace and waited for you to come out of the Devil's Cave to meet him. After all, he is now the top of the top ten disciples, so he only needs to ask the Sect Master to order you to do something. I can't interfere too much, but you need to be careful."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your care, Spiritual Master. I will take my leave now."
Spiritual Master Peng nodded and said, "Go."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and bowed, then left the room.
He calculated in his heart. A few days ago, besides him, the top ten disciples also had their own orders and went out. Now that he thought about it, there must be something important.
Since Qi Yuntian's departure, Huo Xuan became the top of the top ten disciples. It was the first time that he was summoning all the disciples, so he had to go.
Thinking of this, he first used the Dharma token to tell Huo Xuan that he had come out of the Little Devil's Cave.
After that, he meditated in the Keeper's Palace for half a day. When he was fully recovered, he activated the sword ray and flew toward the Ten Peaks Mountain.
The highest point of the main peak was above the other nine peaks. For more than three hundred years, it had been occupied by Qi Yuntian. Now, Huo Xuan was also standing there, watching the clouds disperse and the wind flow, the sun rise and the moon set.
When Zhang Yan arrived, he saw Huo Xuan standing on the top of the mountain. Although his expression was calm, his eyebrows were raised, and there was an irrepressible look in his eyes.
Behind him stood two female disciples, and there was another person standing side by side with him.
This person looked like he was in his twenties. His skin was fair and clean, and his appearance was delicate. He wore a light green robe and looked like a weak scholar. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright. It was obvious that he was a smart person.
Seeing Zhang Yan coming over, Huo Xuan smiled warmly and said, "Junior Brother, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Yan landed on the cloud and stood on the peak. He bowed and said, "Thank you for waiting, Senior Brother. Please don't take offense."
Huo Xuan smiled and shook his head. "You went out on the orders of the Sect Master, how can I blame you? I was too eager to ask you to come here."
He turned around and pointed at the weak scholar beside him. "I guess Junior Brother Zhang hasn't seen Junior Brother Zhong Muqing, right?"
Zhong Muqing looked up and down at Zhang Yan. He smiled lightly and cupped his hands. "You must be Junior Brother Zhang Yan. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Zhang Yan saw this person standing with Huo Xuan earlier, and he vaguely guessed his identity. He returned the greeting and said, "Senior Brother Zhong, you are too polite."
Back then, Zhong Muqing was Meng Zhen's disciple. There was a big change in the Back Gate, and he was asked to be Qin Zhenren's disciple.
But to take care of Meng Zhen's face, she asked him to be Qin Zhenren's disciple in name, but in reality, she was the one who personally taught him Xuan Qi.
It was the same for the disciples of the aristocratic families.
The four Heaven Zhenren of the aristocratic families were the same generation as the Sect Master. They had stopped accepting disciples a long time ago. Although Huo Xuan and the other four were the direct descendants of their sects, they were the grand-disciples of the four Zhenren in name.
If Zhang Yan were to talk about seniority with Zhou Chongju, he would be one generation higher than Zhong Muqing. But now, they were all the top ten disciples, so there was no need to care about this.
Huo Xuan laughed loudly. He took out a scroll and said, "Today, I called Junior Brother Zhang here because there is an important matter. A few days ago, Junior Brother Fang was ordered to investigate a secret matter. There was a letter from Huanzhen Temple, saying that in the northwest direction, there was spiritual Qi soaring into the sky and treasure light shining in the sky. It seemed like a celestial residence had appeared. However, because there were demons wreaking havoc, it was suspected that the demonic cave had appeared. Now, Shaoqing, Yuanyang, Nanhua, Taihao, and other sects had also sent their disciples to that place, wanting to investigate it together. Junior Brother Fang had already rushed there, but I was afraid that he might not be able to do it alone, while the other Junior Brothers had other important tasks, so I wanted to ask for Junior Brother Fang's help."
