That day the Wang sisters received Zhang Yan's order to return to Dong Hua. This time they went to Hanyuan and discovered that the inside of the sect, whether it was the topography, the mountains, the temples, the towers, everything had changed greatly compared to the past. Gradually, there were signs of flourishing and flourishing. For a moment there were too many things to take in.
At this moment, the news of their return had already spread to the mountain. Not long after, they saw a green-clothed woman walking down from the peak of the mountain. She approached them and said with a smile, "I've been separated for more than thirty years. My two senior sisters have finally returned."
Wang Caiting recognized this woman as Zhao Ge and Jiang Rou. Her beautiful eyes lit up. "It's Junior Sister Jiang. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to have also reached the Core Transformation Realm."
Wang Caiwei also came up, looked at her a few times, and said: "Congratulations, Junior Sister."
Jiang Rou was embarrassed. She shook her head. "I was just lucky. How can I compare to you two sisters?"
In terms of age, she was older than the Wang sisters by dozens of years. The quality of her Core Transformation Realm was even worse. She felt that she couldn't compare to the two sisters.
However, it wasn't that her talent wasn't good. In the past, Hanyuan Sect lacked external cultivation materials, so her cultivation stagnated. Later, when Zhang Yan took over the sect and took back the celestial city, she was able to continue cultivating.
Other than her, Xuan Chao from the Great Forest Sect had also reached the Core Transformation Realm.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Wang Caiwei asked, "Junior Sister, is Master in the sect?"
Jiang Rou answered, "Ever since the Dragon Pillar Meeting, Master has been in seclusion. He hasn't come out for more than twenty years."
After the Wang sisters returned from the sea, they flew to Cang Zhu Peak. They didn't stop to ask for information along the way, so they didn't know the changes in the Dong Sheng Continent. Now that they heard about the Dragon Pillar Meeting, Wang Caiting was instantly interested. She wanted to ask for more details, but Wang Caiwei reminded her, "Sister, come with me to visit Master first. If you have anything to say, ask when you come back."
Wang Caiting quickly stopped thinking and said seriously, "Listen to me."
Jiang Rou said, "The restrictions on the peak have changed a lot. It's different from the past. I'm afraid you two sisters don't know about it. Come with me."
The two sisters didn't agree. The three of them carried the clouds and ascended to the peak.
Halfway up the mountain, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of a temple halfway up the mountain. She had a head full of pearls and emerald green hair. Her footsteps were slightly trembling, and her ornaments were jingling. Above her head was a cloud that looked like a golden flower, emitting a strange fragrance. There were dozens of attendants behind her.
Wang Caiting asked in surprise, "Junior Sister, who is this?"
Jiang Rou glanced at her and replied, "That's Madam Zhao Ru, Sect Leader Zhongtaiqiao's Dao companion. After the Dragon Pillar Spell Assembly, most of the lands in the north of Dong Sheng will belong to this sect. She's here to invite Sect Leader to a banquet."
Wang Caiting rolled her eyes and giggled. She clapped her hands and said, "Then Master must have helped Zhongtai in the Dragon Pillar Battle. Am I right?"
Jiang Rou nodded, "Senior Sister is right."
When the two sisters looked at Madam Zhao, the latter was also looking at the Wang sisters. Seeing the two beauties standing on top of the clouds, riding on the wind with their silk belts fluttering, they looked like fairies. She couldn't help but feel envious. "I wonder where Master Zhang found them. These two sisters have good looks and talent. If they were in Zhongtai Sect, they would be able to inherit the sect. If I met them earlier, I would have taken them in no matter what."
At this moment, in the temple, Fan Yinghui also looked out. She saw the two beautiful ladies with fair skin and deep roots. She couldn't help but think, "From this, I can deduce their master. This Master Zhang's background isn't that simple. If he came from an ordinary sect, he wouldn't be able to find such beauties."
She previously reminded Madam Zhao to pay more attention to Hanyuan Sect. It wasn't entirely because she wanted to sow discord, but more because she was secretly wary of this sect.
She always felt that someone like Zhang Yan must have other plans for setting up his sect in Dong Sheng State.
It wasn't that she was overthinking things. Currently, the Python Tribe that occupied the Northern Sea was a guest from the other continents. Originally, no matter how much the five great sects disagreed with each other, they had unanimously rejected them. If another sect like the Python Tribe appeared, the situation in Dong Sheng would definitely change drastically.
Madam Zhao wanted to greet the Wang sisters, but before she could go forward, the two ladies bowed to her from afar and went up the mountain.
She was startled. After thinking for a while, she understood the reason. She thought, "I was too impatient."
After returning to the mountain, the first thing she did was to pay respects to her master. This was etiquette, and she knew it. It was just that she had a high position in Zhongtai Sect and everything was up to her heart's desire. Moreover, she was anxious to invite Zhang Yan down the mountain, so she didn't think about this.
After thinking for a while, she told the maid beside her, "Go and find out where the two ladies are staying. I'll send the gifts later."
The Wang sisters arrived at the peak in a short while. Jiang Rou couldn't stay here any longer so she bowed and left. At this time, the cave door opened and Jing You walked out. He cupped his hands in greeting and laughed, "The two ladies have returned to the mountain?"
Wang Caiting went up and said, "Da tou, did Master say when he will come out of seclusion?"
Jing You shook his head, "He didn't mention this."
Wang Caiwei thought for a while before saying, "Sister, today is a rush, so the two of us will first pay our respects at the door. After burning incense and bathing tomorrow, we will come and pay respects to Master."
Wang Caiting made a sound of agreement and happily agreed.
Just as the two of them were about to salute, they heard a rumbling sound in the cave as if a door had been opened. A clear voice came from inside, "Caiwei, Caiting, since you've returned to the mountain, come in."
Wang Caiting let out a soft cry and happily said, "Master has come out of seclusion."
Wang Caiwei pulled her and shook her head lightly, reminding her not to be rude.
The two sisters tidied up their clothes and entered the cave. They had only taken a few steps when they saw a misty fog in front of them and heard the sound of wind. They didn't know why, but they suddenly felt that danger was everywhere and the murderous intent was biting cold. They couldn't help but be shocked and stopped their footsteps.
At this time, they heard Zhang Yan's voice transmission, "This is a new cave protection array that I've refined a month ago. It's not complete yet so it's inconvenient to remove it. The two of you can go ahead and you'll be safe."
The two of them obeyed and walked for a hundred steps. The fog suddenly disappeared and they found themselves in a spacious cave hall. Looking up, they saw Zhang Yan sitting upright on the jade couch. His demeanor was clear and his eyes were filled with spiritual light. Above his head were three clouds that were sometimes separated and sometimes closed. It was like a mist or a sunset, dazzling with five different colours. There was also a sign of surging and surging, totally different from other third degree realm cultivators.
The Wang sisters hurriedly went forward and kowtowed, "Disciple greets Master."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Get up. I see that the two of your cultivations have improved greatly and there are other changes in the evil pill. Did you have some fortuitous encounter?"
The Wang sisters looked at each other but didn't get up. Wang Caiwei said, "When the two of us went there, we met Clear Feathers Sect's Daoist Wang on the East Sea and went there to have a seat. We didn't expect to meet Tao Zhenren on this trip. Reverend said that we sisters might not be able to return for twenty to thirty years so we each imparted a divine ability to us and wanted us to cultivate for a period of time. It won't be too late to go after that."
Saying that, she bowed down again and said, "Disciple didn't get permission from the sect and secretly cultivated another sect's divine ability. May Master punish me. But the person who made the decision is me and it has nothing to do with Caiting."
When Wang Caiting heard that, she instantly panicked and said, "Sister, how can you say that. The divine ability is learned together so we should punish together."
Wang Caiwei stared at her and said softly, "Don't mess around."
In reality, no matter if it was Qincang School or Zhang Yan's Zhao You Sect, they didn't forbid the divine ability of other sects. However, she faintly felt that Tao Zhenren seemed to have an ulterior motive and seemed to be plotting something. However, when faced with a divine ability given by a Heavenly Abode, they couldn't reject it. Under the circumstances, they could only accept it.
Zhang Yan knew that Tao Zhenren was good at calculating and setting up formations. It wasn't surprising that he had a way to see if the two of them were going smoothly. However, at Tao Zhenren's realm, he wouldn't do things without a reason. There must be a deeper meaning behind his action.
He pondered for a while and guessed the reason. He couldn't help but smile.
Back when he helped Tao Zhenren to achieve Heavenly Abode on the sea, the latter promised to help him with three things.
In Zhang Yan's opinion, a favor from a Heavenly Abode shouldn't be used on small matters, so he never asked for it.
However, as his cultivation improved day by day, Donghua Continent faced another calamity. If he needed a Heavenly Abode's help, even Tao Zhenren wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. Therefore, he gave a divine ability to the Wang sisters for free. It was also an excuse to remind him that some favors should be used when needed.
He looked at the Wang sisters and said with a smile, "When did I say that I would punish the two of you? Get up. Tao Zhenren was able to establish his own sect and become the founder of that sect. The divine ability he taught is definitely not bad. The two of you just need to practice it well. However, you need to remember that cultivation is the foundation of achieving Dao. "
The Wang sisters saw that their master's expression was normal and his tone was friendly. They guessed that this matter didn't violate any taboo, so they finally let go of this matter and got up.
Wang Caiwei carefully took out a wooden box from the sachet and placed it on her palm. She took a few steps forward and placed it on the jade table in front of Zhang Yan. She said, "Master, this is the item that the two of us took from Guangyuan Sect. When we left, Elder Shen solemnly told us that this item was very important and that we had to hand it to you personally."
Zhang Yan's gaze shifted downwards and landed on the wooden box, revealing a solemn expression. Then, he extended his hand and opened the lid, revealing the contents inside.
On the top layer was a letter. It was written that it was for him personally, and it was signed by Shen Yinfeng of Guangyuan Sect.
Zhang Yan took the letter and opened it. In the letter, it was Elder Shen's own narration. He mainly wrote that after the Sixteen Sects' battle, he borrowed Jun Yang's essence to help him cultivate in seclusion. He originally thought that he would only need thirty years of intensive cultivation to reach the third stage. However, he didn't expect that he would need twenty more years to succeed.
Then, he used the Yuanying Dharma Body to go deep into the underground palace and found the remains left behind by Shen Chong after his ascension. He found the two missing talisman techniques, and other than that, there was another item …
Zhang Yan put the letter aside and reached out his hand. He slowly picked up an inconspicuous thin book in the box. On it were four words:
Shen Chong's Legacy!
Shen Chong moved unhindered in the Nine States and rarely met a worthy opponent. In the end, he relied on a golden talisman to ascend. This was the notes he left behind before he left!
Zhang Yan was deeply moved. When he asked for this item from Elder Shen, he only mentioned it as a test. He didn't expect that Guangyuan Sect would really have it.
How precious was the notes left behind by a mighty person who had ascended? Even though there were a few mighty people in Qincang School who had ascended, he wasn't their direct disciple and hadn't cultivated to that level. Hence, it wasn't his turn to look at it.
He had always believed that everything should be done in advance. If one didn't plan beforehand, it would be useless. It was already too late for him to plan when things came to a head. Moreover, when the Three Great Tribulations came, all cultivators would be in the tribulations. No one could predict what would happen in the future. It was definitely not a bad thing to be able to take a look at the mysteries within.
Looking at the thin book in his hand, he held his breath and slowly flipped the pages.
