Zhang Yan took the jade plate and saw that there were dozens of lines of words on it. After reading it, Just Now, he knew why Cai Deyan dared to make such a conclusion.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If this really happened, regardless of whether it was the demonic path or the Xuanmen, they could only take advantage of the situation. Moreover, what such a person said did indeed contain great opportunities, but it was also accompanied by all kinds of dangers.
Although the truth of this matter still needed to be discussed, based on his intuition, he felt that it was most likely true.
Cai Deyan saw that he was thinking there and didn't say anything, so he said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I am an elder of a sect after all. There is no need to lie to you about such a matter. Even if I don't say it, I believe that the masters of your sect will find out soon."
Zhang Yan smiled and said casually, "As you said, even if you don't say it, the elders of my sect will find out sooner or later. What is the value of your words today?"
Cai Deyan laughed loudly instead and said, "Otherwise, with Fellow Daoist's wisdom, how could you not know that if you knew about this a step earlier, then you would be able to take the initiative. I don't have to explain the benefits involved, right?"
Zhang Yan smiled and looked out of the hall, saying, "It's already morning."
Just now, both sides didn't swear, it was all based on trust. Cai Deyan saw that after he told the truth, Zhang Yan really didn't have any intention of stopping him, so he immediately felt relieved. He cupped his hands and said, "64 years will pass in the blink of an eye. Fellow Daoist, be careful. I will take my leave now."
Zhang Yan also returned the greeting and said indifferently, "I won't see you out."
Cai Deyan strode out of the mansion. After going outside, he identified the direction, raised a gust of wind, and flew away.
After this person left, Zhang Yan sat down and thought carefully.
In the past, this was only a competition between the Xuanmen, and the disciples of the Devil Sect were only at the bottom.
But this time was different. Once the Devil Tribulation arrived, it would be a battle between the two major forces of the Xuanmen and the Devil Sect. It was a battle of life and death.
Now, the Devil Sect actually knew about this first. Could it be that the cultivation of the experts of the Devil Sect had already surpassed that of the Celestial Sect?
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. It was not necessarily true that the few True Masters in the sect did not know about this news. Perhaps they had already known about it, but for some reason, they did not know about it. Perhaps it was out of consideration for the big picture, or perhaps it was out of selfish thoughts. Therefore, he temporarily buried it in his heart, unwilling to say it out loud.
If that was the case, it would be a great fortune for him to know this news in advance.
He secretly calculated that it would be extremely difficult to step into the Yuanying realm within sixty-four years.
Currently, he was still lacking in the Five Elements Cultivation Techniques, and he had yet to finish deducing three of them. Even if he succeeded, he still had to pass the last stage, "Yin Sleep Concealment".
This stage was the one that took the longest time. He had originally planned to use a hundred years to slowly refine it, but now it seemed that he wouldn't be able to. He had to make it in time for the competition. Of course, he had to use some extreme methods to get through.
Within the Lang Ya Heavenly Abode, a strange fragrance wafted in waves, thin mist curled up in spirals, the gurgling stream flowed endlessly, and the courtyard was filled with the clear shadows of the lotus flowers. The air was fragrant and fragrant.
Zhong Muqing wore a plain white robe and stood on the square with his hands behind his back. He looked at the hundreds of female cultivators outside the main hall, all of whom were dressed in light robes. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yue, there are more and more disciples in this cave abode."
Standing next to him was a Daoist nun with a smooth forehead and a narrow nose bridge. She looked at the disciples in the hall and felt gratified. She said sincerely, "Thanks to Perfected Master, our Lang Ya Heavenly Abode is blessed with good fortune, and we can enjoy it for tens of thousands of years."
Zhong Muqing smiled and said, "Perfected Master has been in seclusion for a hundred days, and he should be coming out soon."
Senior Sister Yue nodded slightly.
After waiting for about half a day, the two of them suddenly heard a rumbling sound, as if stones were rolling down the path. Then, there was a loud chime, and the heavy stone door on the opposite side suddenly opened.
Senior Sister Yue gripped the horsetail whisk in her hand tightly, and her face was filled with joy. She said, "Perfected Master is coming out of seclusion."
Suddenly, there was the sound of water splashing, and a strange fragrance wafted over. The disciples only felt a gentle breeze, and the lotus petals in the pond in front of them bloomed. A light mist floated past, and Perfected Master Qin, who was wearing a bright moon purple Daoist robe, sat down on the jade lotus with her phoenix eyes filled with power.
The hundreds of disciples below her all knelt down and said, "Disciples greet Perfected Master."
Perfected Master Qin's phoenix eyes swept across, and she held up the Aquamarine Biyao Ruyi in her hand. She pointed at a few people and said, "The few of you, come forward."
Every eight years, she had to choose a few disciples to teach her techniques, and from then on, they would be her real disciples. The few female cultivators who were pointed out were happy, but they couldn't help but feel nervous. They carefully walked forward and knelt in front of her.
Perfected Master Qin flicked her jade finger, and a few sparkling jade flowers flew out and entered the space between her eyebrows. After a while, she nodded slightly and said, "The few of you, come and listen to my lecture another day."
The few female disciples were overjoyed, and they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Perfected Master Qin sighed in her heart. She looked at these few female disciples, and their aptitudes could be considered passable, but their temperament was inevitably a little lacking.
Although she also had the heart to cultivate and become an immortal, the power of heaven was unpredictable, and it was difficult to seek the Great Dao. Since the establishment of the Qincang School, there were only a few people who could fly to other realms, and it could be seen how difficult it was.
If they died at the end of their lifespan, they could only reincarnate and cultivate again.
As such, it was necessary to train the disciples well, and after the other generation's cultivation was successful, they could reincarnate and enter the Dao Sect again.
She originally had twelve direct disciples, and five of them had entered the Yuanying realm, but three of them had already died of old age. Although there were still two, they didn't have long to live.
As for the female disciples in the hall, they were all grand-disciples. Although many of them had already condensed their cores, there were only two or three of them who had condensed their cores, and most of them only had one or two hundred years left in their lifespan, so they couldn't inherit her supernatural powers at all.
Among the lowest generation, there were actually a few good disciples, but their cultivation base was still shallow, and the devil's calamity was right in front of them, so it was hard to say how many of them could survive.
She couldn't help but think of Zhou Chongju. Although he only took in one disciple, Zhang Yan, it was better than the hundreds of people in front of her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little dispirited, so she waved her hand and said, "All of you can leave, Muqing, you stay."
The disciples didn't dare to disobey, and after bowing, they all left.
Senior Sister Yue couldn't help but feel bitter in her mouth. She had cultivated hard for dozens of years, and felt that her cultivation had greatly improved. Today, she excitedly came to pay her respects to Perfected Master Qin, hoping to say a few words and get a few words of encouragement, but Perfected Master Qin didn't even look at her, and instead left Zhong Muqing alone.
In addition to being disappointed, she couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in her heart. After coldly looking at Zhong Muqing a few times, she snorted, lowered her head, and left.
With Zhong Muqing's cultivation base, he naturally heard it clearly, and also understood why this Daoist nun was dissatisfied with him, but as one of the top ten disciples, why would he care about this Daoist nun?
After everyone left, he tidied up his sleeves, walked forward, and bowed, "Disciple greets Perfected Master."
Perfected Master Qin said to him, "A few days ago, when I was meditating, I suddenly felt something, and felt that something big was coming, and in my meditation, I discovered that from today onwards, from that 64 years later, there will be something that involves the fate of our Celestial Sect …"
It seemed that this matter was extremely important, her voice became softer and softer, and even with Zhong Muqing's composure, his expression changed several times, and his mind was agitated.
But after listening, he let out a long breath, and said, "According to what Perfected Master said, the decision of the ownership of this item should be on the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects?"
Perfected Master Qin nodded approvingly, and said, "That's right, but this time, we need to go above the Extreme Astral Wind, and that has to be the Yuanying Realm."
Zhong Muqing bowed deeply, and said, "Disciple understands Perfected Master's intention. Now that my cultivation is gradually reaching perfection, in at most 30 to 40 years, I will definitely be able to achieve Yuanying."
Perfected Master Qin glanced at him, and sighed, "Muqing, I am extremely at ease with you. You and Qi Yuntian are close in age, if I didn't ask you to be my disciple back then, and delayed your cultivation a lot, I'm afraid you would have already achieved Yuanying."
Zhong Muqing hurriedly knelt down, and said loudly, "Perfected Master's great kindness, and the hundred years of meticulous nurturing, disciple will never forget it. Even if a hundred generations, I will not be able to repay it, how can I dare to have any resentment?"
Perfected Master Qin smiled lightly, and raised her white wrist, and said, "You can stand up."
Zhong Muqing didn't dare to disobey, and stood up.
Perfected Master Qin said to him gently, "If you can return from that place this time and take that item back, in the future, the position of Du Zhen Hall Master will definitely be yours."
Although she said it casually, after Zhong Muqing heard it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
Of the three hall masters, only the Upper Extreme Hall Master's position had been confirmed, and in the future, it would definitely be Qi Yuntian's.
As for the Daylight Hall Master's position, it seemed that Huo Xuan had the highest chance to take over.
However, Miss Chen seemed to be dissatisfied with him, and he was only a son-in-law, so she might not completely trust him. It was hard to say what would happen in the future.
But if nothing unexpected happened, it would definitely be obtained by the aristocratic families.
As for the position of Du Zhen Hall Master, Perfected Master Qin favored Zhong Muqing.
In her opinion, whether it was cultivation, lifespan, or seniority, this child was the most suitable.
As long as she had this position, even if Sect Head Senior Brother used Perfected Master Peng to keep her in check, she would still be in an invincible position.
Therefore, this matter must not be taken lightly.
Perfected Master Qin glanced over and saw the joy on Zhong Muqing's face, but she didn't blame him. She only reminded him, "Don't be careless. This time, it's not like you don't have opponents. Zhuang Bufan, Luo Qing Yu, and Ning Chong Xuan are all outstanding people. There's also that Zhang Yan. I guess he will definitely compete with you, so you have to be extra careful."
Zhong Muqing was puzzled and said, "Perfected Master, Junior Brothers Zhuang, Luo, and Ning are fine, but that Zhang Yan is Only Now Second Stage of Core Transformation. How is it possible for him to step into the Yuanying Stage in 60 years?"
Perfected Master Qin said lightly, "If Sect Head Senior Brother helps, it won't be difficult."
Zhong Muqing was shocked and said, "Perfected Master, are you saying that Sect Head Senior Brother intends to support that Zhang Yan to replace the disciple?"
Perfected Master Qin's expression was slightly cold as she said, "Sect Head Senior Brother's cultivation deepens, and his thoughts become more and more difficult to guess. It's fine if he stays out of this matter, but if he insists on making things difficult for me, then I won't sit still and wait for death. At that time, I can only ask Uncle-Master to come forward and uphold justice."
Zhong Muqing was shocked at first when he heard this, then he was delighted. If he could ask this Grand Supreme Elder to come forward, then it would really be foolproof!
