Inside Zhang Yan's main residence, the room was filled with jade-green. Hundreds and thousands of rays of light shone from Zhang Yan's body. Halos appeared and flickered in the residence, turning into thousands of strands, as if the cave walls were painted with a layer of jade-green.
Zhang Yan opened his eyes and carefully sized up the misty bluish-green splendor. He saw that there seemed to be an infinite amount of life force hidden within it. It was about to move, but he couldn't restrain it no matter what, so he withdrew the spell and no longer suppressed it.
The jade-green light was suddenly unrestrained and expanded outwards, giving out a deafening sound. The four walls and the ground shook, as if it wanted to push open the cave. The mirror spirit was so shocked that it immediately came out and operated the formation to stabilize the place.
Zhang Yan's expression was filled with joy. He practiced the True Light for a long while, Just Now he started to retract it. In just a short while, he had absorbed it into his body.
This joy only lasted for a moment. He pinched his fingers together and calculated, and then his expression turned serious.
Another seven years had passed in the blink of an eye. Although it was faster than he had expected, and his Wood Elemental True Light had achieved initial success, there were only fifty-seven years left before the sword duel, and time was getting more and more pressing.
The next step would be to use the nine true scriptures to deduce the cultivation method.
Based on the current situation, with the help of the broken jade, he would at most use a year and a half to be able to deduce the Wood Element True Light technique.
It was just that he still didn't have the whereabouts of the metal and fire Qi.
Before Liu Yanyi left, he had specially instructed to find these two Qi.
With his understanding of his eldest disciple, as long as he entrusted this matter to him, he would definitely do his best to complete it. Calculating the time, he was about to return. He couldn't rush it.
If everything went smoothly, then the remaining two True Light, after his eldest disciple returned, he would be able to cultivate it in about 20 years.
With that, the five elements would merge into one and he would be able to complete it. After that, he would have to find a way to condense the True Seal and step into the third realm of Core Transformation.
What was left for him was about 30 plus years.
The stage of Hibernating Yin and using Hidden Qi needed to swallow a huge amount of Heaven and Earth Qi. There was no shortcut to speak of. Even with the help of the broken jade, it wouldn't be of much use.
Du De, Xiao Chuo, Zhuang Bu Fan, Luo Qing Yu and the others, which one of them had not entered this realm long ago? However, they all stopped at this stage, which showed how difficult it was.
This wasn't because they weren't diligent, but because the higher the grade of the pill, the more time it would take.
Zhang Yan thought to himself that his Dan had reached the first grade. It would only take longer. To break into the Yuanying State in such a short period of time was almost as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He pondered for a long time and suddenly thought of something. Why did he have to think about such a difficult problem alone? There was no harm in asking the Sect Leader for advice. Let's see if there's a way.
With this thought in mind, he left the residence and headed to the Floating Sky Palace.
With the help of the talisman, he soon arrived at the side hall that he had been to before. After reporting his name, the boy recognized him and immediately went in to report. After a short while, he walked out and said that the Sect Master had summoned him.
Inside the hall. Zhang Yan went forward and bowed, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
Sect Leader Qin's warm voice came from the high platform, "Zhang Yan, why aren't you cultivating in the cave? Why are you here?"
Zhang Yan answered, "I have some doubts, so I came to ask for your guidance."
Sect Leader Qin said, "Speak."
Zhang Yan didn't hide anything and told him about Cai Deyan. He just left out many details. In the end, he said, "I don't know if this is true or not."
When the Sect Leader heard this, he said with a smile, "You already know that this is true, so why ask me? It's just that it's not the right time yet, so it's not convenient for me to tell the disciples. Don't spread it around. "
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "I want to go to the Sword Competition Conference, but I have some difficulties. I hope Sect Leader can guide me." Sect Leader Qin looked at him and held his horsetail whisk, as if thinking about something.
Sect Leader Qin looked at him and pinched his horsetail whisk, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said in a clear voice, "Since you already know about this, it is also your fate. This is the will of the heavens. I will show you a path. If you can condense your spiritual power and true seal within twenty years, you can come to the Floating Heavenly Palace to cultivate. Remember, I will only give you thirty years. Whether you can succeed or not will depend on your own luck."
When he finished, he waved his horsetail whisk and dismissed him.
When Zhang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. The Floating Heavenly Palace was one of the top ten Spiritual Eyes in the Donghua Continent. Only the Third Lord and Grand Elder could cultivate here Just Now. The Spiritual Qi in it was endless and not something a normal cave could compare to.
If he could cultivate here, entering the Yuanying Realm within 30 years would not be an extravagant hope.
He bowed again and said, "I'll take my leave."
After saying goodbye to Sect Leader Qin, he left the Heavenly Palace and returned to his residence to cultivate.
A month later, the dim light turned into a famous cave.
Inside the cave, there was smoke from the furnace and candles in the hall. Zhenren Yan was meditating and cultivating. Suddenly, he heard a boy report, "Master, Zhenren Zhu is here."
Zhenren Yan opened his eyes and said, "Let him in."
After a while, Zhenren Zhu entered the hall. After bowing, he sat on the cattail hassock in front of Zhenren Yan.
Zhenren Yan said, "Junior Brother, why did you come to my place today?"
Priest Zhu waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Senior Brother, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
Zhenren Yan chuckled and said, "Is it because the Sect Leader Master allowed Zhang Yan to borrow the Floating Heavenly Palace?"
Zhenren Zhu said with dissatisfaction, "Since Zhang Yan can use it, why can't my disciples? That thing comes from the sky, and everyone has a chance. Why does Master only favor Zhang Yan? "
Zhenren Yan shook his head and said, "The Sect Leader Master's arrangement must have a deep meaning, but you and I don't understand it. Instead of complaining here, Junior Brother, you'd better go back and train your disciples. If they can pass the test by luck, they will have a chance. Why do you envy others? "
Zhenren Zhu was a little surprised and didn't understand why Zhenren Yan didn't care about this matter, which was very different from usual. So, he asked tentatively, "Senior Brother, don't you want to fight for it?"
Zhenren Yan closed his eyes and said, "You and I are disciples. How can we argue with Master?"
Zhenren Zhu frowned and looked at his Senior Brother. According to his understanding of this Senior Brother, how could he have no complaints about this matter? But he couldn't see anything from the surface. After a pause, he persuaded again, "Senior Brother, why are you so stubborn? It's natural to follow the Sect Leader's order. However, Master didn't say anything to us. If we should fight, we should fight. Why do we have so many scruples?"
Zhenren Yan was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed. He said, "It's not that I don't want to fight, but it's useless to fight. You need to know that Bufan, Qingyu, and Chongxuan are all my disciples. But Zhang Yan isn't one of us. If he has a chance to climb to the top of the Du Zhen Hall, Zhenren Chen and the other three won't stop him."
The masters and disciples of the three halls and the aristocratic families each had one Lord. However, no one wanted to let the other get the Lord of the Du Zhen Hall, lest one party's power increase greatly and completely overwhelm the other party.
But now, it seemed that Zhang Yan was the most suitable. Originally, because he wasn't a disciple of the Heavenly Abode, his foundation was shallow and it was difficult for him to stand firm. This was his weakness, but now it seemed that it had become his advantage.
From the perspective of the aristocratic families, the position of the Du Zhen Hall's Lord was an acceptable result for Zhang Yan since they didn't have a choice.
Once he took the position, it would be the same as Zhenren Qin belonging to two parties. In the future, the three parties could coexist in peace.
Sect Leader Qin intentionally released the news that he wanted to help Zhang Yan. It might be because he wanted to test the aristocratic families. If their reaction wasn't intense and they could return from the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects in the future, it was very likely that they would push the boat with the current and help this matter.
Of course, the premise was that Zhang Yan could achieve Yuanying within 57 years. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
Zhenren Zhu said, "Senior Brother knows this, but does Junior Brother not know?"
Zhenren Yan couldn't help but open his eyes. He looked at Zhenren Zhu and said, "Junior Brother, do you mean that you have a wonderful plan?"
Zhenren Zhu seemed to have a card up his sleeve. He said, "If not, how could I come to find you?"
Zhenren Yan suddenly became a little interested and said, "Junior Brother, you might as well tell me."
Zhenren Zhu turned his body sideways and stretched out his finger. He pointed outside and said meaningfully, "Zhenren Qin came to find me for this matter the day before yesterday."
Zhenren Yan's eyes gradually brightened. He stroked his beard and said, "If so, I have an excuse to make a move."
Zhenren Zhu said loudly, "Senior Brother, thanks to Zhenren Qin's help in the past, the change in the sect didn't affect us. Now that she has put down her pride and came to ask for help, how can we not agree? Even if Sect Leader Master knows, he can't blame us. "
Zhenren Yan nodded and said, "I understand. I will make arrangements in a few days. Junior Brother, go in peace."
Zhenren Zhu had obtained Zhenren Yan's promise, so he had achieved his goal. After bowing to Zhenren Yan, he left in satisfaction.
Zhenren Yan sat on the praying mat and thought for a long time. He calculated with his fingers and then said to the boy beside him, "Go and call your Senior Brother here."
Not long after, a young Daoist with broad shoulders and a thin waist walked over. He bowed in front of Zhenren Yan and said, "Xiao Ao greets Master!"
Zhenren Yan looked at him carefully and saw that he had already reached the Xuan Light Realm. He said with relief, "Your progress is not bad, but you must not be arrogant and impatient. Remember not to repeat the mistakes of your predecessor."
Xiao Ao said solemnly, "Yes, I will remember."
Zhenren Yan said, "I made an agreement with Zhenren Xiao in the past so that you could reincarnate into the Xiao Clan. Today, the time has come. You can go back to the clan."
Xiao Ao bowed and said respectfully, "I will never forget the kindness of giving me a new life. I will not forget what Master has entrusted to me."
Back then, Fang Zhen's remnant soul escaped from the Devil's Cave, and Zhenren Yan found Zhenren Xiao. After a secret discussion, Zhenren Yan paid a huge price to send Fang Zhen to be reincarnated in the Xiao Clan. Then, Zhenren Yan found countless spirit medicines and precious pills for Fang Zhen and used a magic treasure to help Fang Zhen consolidate his foundation. Zhenren Yan personally taught Fang Zhen for almost 40 years, and Just now, he had achieved what he had now.
Zhenren Yan reminded him, "If Zhenren Xiao has any orders, listen carefully and don't disobey them. I won't help you. Go."
Xiao Ao bowed to Zhenren Yan and left to accept the order.
Zhenren Yan smiled proudly. The situation of the chess game should not only look at the present, but also look at the future. If he only followed others' chess moves and dealt with them passively, he would always be at a disadvantage. A temporary victory was nothing. Now that he had made his move, the result would be clear when the time came.
