After Sect Master Qiao and his wife gave him the Nine-Yellow Star Bead, they tried their best to invite Zhang Yan to visit them.
Zhang Yan found it hard to refuse their kindness, so he stayed at Hope Voice Mountain for three days before leaving. He brought the Wang sisters and hundreds of disciples back to the mountain.
A few days later, he returned to Cang Zhu Peak. However, he didn't cultivate in seclusion like before. Instead, he brought his disciple, Fu Baoxing, to the Beimo Ocean World.
Fu Baoxing was now in the middle of the second level of the Mystic Light Realm, so he could travel on a mystic light long ago. However, there was the threat of the Python Tribe in the Beimo Ocean. Ever since the whirlpool calamity, the Godly House Mountain had been sealed, and no cultivators from the Godly House Mountain had come here. Even he was no exception. This was his first time here, so he couldn't help but look around.
Waves rolled and jade waves surged. Vaguely, he could see many beautiful girls riding on sharks, singing and laughing, chasing and playing. However, in his eyes, he could see that these girls were not humans, but demonic cultivators in the water.
His expression became serious, and he said, "Master, are these girls the subordinates of the Python Tribe?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That's not true."
He took out a banner and handed it to Fu Baoxing. He said, "Disciple, go talk to them and call Lu Changsu out to see me."
Fu Baoxing bowed, took the banner, and flew down.
The girls didn't care when they saw a mystic light coming. One of them, who was tall and had a pair of charming eyes, jumped out of the water and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "This is the Godly House Mountain World, it's not a place without a master. I wonder which immortal master has come here, please tell me why you are here."
Fu Baoxing waved the banner and said loudly, "I'm here on my master's orders, please ask Lu Changsu to come out and talk."
The female demon saw that when he waved the banner in his hand, she couldn't help but want to bow down and worship him. She could vaguely guess his origin, so she forced herself to calm down and bowed. "So you're here, I'll go and call General Lu over."
Ever since Lu Changsu was put into the ocean by Zhang Yan to control the Yao Tribe, he was like a fish in the water. In the past dozens of years, many of the original 200,000 or so demons had died of old age. However, other than the Python Tribe, they did not have any major enemies. After living on the sea for a long time, the number of their people did not decrease, but instead increased, gradually showing signs of prosperity.
Every few years, he would pick some of his clansmen with good aptitudes and send them to the mountain gate of the divine house to be servants and deacons as a sign of respect.
At this moment, he was training his demon soldiers in the sea. When he heard someone reporting that a cultivator was coming with a banner, he immediately set off towards the sea.
When he emerged from the water, he saw that the person was a young and elegant cultivator with his hair tied up, but he had never seen him before. However, he had never seen him before. It was the Mu Changsu.
Although the other party was only at the Mystic Light Realm, he didn't dare to be careless. He cupped his fists and said, "May I know how to address you and Zhenren Zhang?"
Fu Baoxing returned the greeting and said, "I am Fu Baoxing, the eighth disciple of my master."
Lu Changsu bowed again and said, "I'm Fu Baoxing, Master's eighth disciple."
Lu Changsu bowed again and said passionately, "So it's Young Master, sorry for not going out to greet you." However, at this moment, he had ordered his disciple to come here, which meant that this child was extremely valued. How could he dare to offend him? Even his expression carried a hint of fawning.
Fu Baoxing said, "My benevolent teacher is in the clouds, would General Lu please come with me to see him." Having said that, he turned around and headed towards the sky.
Hearing that Zhang Yan was here, Lu Changsu was shocked and quickly tidied up his robe. He followed Zhang Yan.
When he got to the top of the clouds, he saw a Daoist standing on the clouds. His body shook, and he knelt down. "Lu Changsu greets Lord."
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and said, "You may rise."
Only then did Lu Changsu stand up, but he lowered his head in a respectful manner.
Zhang Yan pointed at Fu Baoxing and said, "You have seen my disciple. If he comes to give me an order in the future, you must not disobey him.
Lu Changsu glanced at Fu Baoxing, and a thought flashed through his mind as he thought to himself, 'The Manor Head is a disciple of the Dark Azure Sect and will have to return to the sect one day. Could it be that this young master will be the one controlling us in the future? Then I will have to serve him carefully. "
He cupped his hands and said respectfully, "I will obey."
Zhang Yan nodded his head and said, "For the past few decades, you've controlled hundreds of thousands of demons, yet you've never caused any trouble to the people. You're strict in your governance, and you've controlled them well. You've also opened more than ten shellfish farms, and helped me collect millions of seashells. It's really hard to come by. What do you think I should give you?
Lu Changsu quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Lord, this is not the work of me alone. If it wasn't for the help of dozens of demon tribes, this situation would not have happened …"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't talk about this. What do you need? Tell me quickly. If you don't, I won't bother you anymore."
Lu Changsu stopped talking. He thought for a while and said, "I have been wandering in the Core Transformation Realm for a long time, but I have no cultivation technique to practice. Can I ask Lord to give me a cultivation technique? If I am lucky enough to break through in the future, my lifespan will be extended by a thousand years, and I will be able to continue serving Lord."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and did not get up for a long time.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "You are from the Reef Prefecture, and the cultivation technique you practice is also superior. If someone else came to ask for it, it would be difficult for me, but you are fine. Today, I will teach you a cultivation technique. Although it cannot be compared to the five techniques and three scriptures of Qincang, it will be enough to help you cultivate Yuanying."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Changsu's forehead, passing a cultivation technique to him.
After Lu Changsu received the cultivation technique, he checked it and knew that what Zhang Yan said was true. He was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to thank Zhang Yan.
In fact, to cultivate Yuanying, other than the cultivation technique, he also needed a lot of external help. It would be difficult for him to cultivate it in the East Flower Continent or the East Sea. Fortunately, there were many celestial cities in the East Victory Continent, so he could only use spirit seashells to exchange for them.
At this time, Zhang Yan said, "There is another matter I need you to do."
Lu Changsu said loudly, "Please instruct me, Chief."
Zhang Yan said, "After your tribe settled here, the number of people has increased. I don't want to use the Moon Sleeping Banner of Ten Thousand Beasts to restrain you anymore, so I want to open a path in the Shenwu Mountain that connects to the sea. This way, your tribe can come to the mountain at any time."
Lu Changsu calculated for a while and said, "Right now, we have more than a million people and 270,000 demon soldiers. If we work day and night, we can open up the mountain path in a year."
However, Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and said, "There is no need to go through so much trouble. Go to the side with Huo Xing and wait for my orders."
The two of them said yes and stood far away.
Zhang Yan arrived above the clouds and aimed at a cliff. He circulated the Five Elements Escape Technique and grabbed downwards. In an instant, the earth and rocks were moved, and with another exertion of force, a rumbling sound was heard. The cliff that was a hundred zhang long was actually moved to another place. The seawater surged in in a split second, causing jade waves to surge up to a thousand feet, and the collision of the sea and mountain roared like thunder.
This place was quite far from the center of the Shenwu Mountain. Even if his transcendence energy was strong, he would not be able to open up a path in less than a month. Therefore, he did not move it with brute force. Instead, he used a trick. Every time he moved it, there would be ravines, stone crevices, and rivers. Because it saved him a lot of effort, it only took him half a day to open up a shallow path.
Fu Baoxing was dazzled and envious. He thought to himself, I wonder when I will be able to cultivate Master's supernatural power?
Lu Changsu was also dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Yan with respect.
Zhang Yan used another few hours to travel around the mountain on his sword ray before returning to the cliff.
He waved his hand and called Lu Changsu over. He pointed down and said, "Follow this path and open up the river. How long will it take for you to open up the mountain path?"
Lu Changsu looked around and saw that there were still some places in the ravines that were connected like lotus roots. However, the main path had been opened up, and the rest was easy. He said, "Twenty days at most."
Zhang Yan said, "I will only give you fifteen days."
Lu Changsu did not dare to disobey. He said sternly, "As you wish."
He hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked, "Manor Head, may I ask if there's a great enemy coming to attack?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
He opened up this waterway to deal with the sealed monsters that could attack at any time. However, his intention was not only for the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, but also to make it easier for the Dragon Carp to travel secretly.
After all, it was a great monster in the water and was not good at flying on land. There was no lake or sea in the Shenwu Mountain for it to stay. In this way, it could be used as a chess piece to win the battle by surprise at a critical moment.
Ten days later.
A black light flew over from the sky. It circled around the Shenwu Mountain a few times before retreating far away. It landed on a mound a hundred miles away, and a figure appeared. It was Guo Yuan Jun who had taken over Shang Qingjun's body.
He picked up the magic sword in his hand and said with a displeased expression, "This Mount Shenwu is full of array doors, and every step is protected by restrictions. There is no way to enter or exit. You've made me waste a lot of effort. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
A resentful voice came from the sword. "You can't blame me for this. The Dong Sheng Continent has always only set up restrictions in the celestial cities. Even in the mountains, there are only a few altars. Who would know that the Shenwu Mountain is a different species? You have the Pearl with you, how can these restrictions stop you?"
Lord Guo Yuanjun said coldly, "If I was at my peak, I wouldn't care about this kind of prohibition. But now, I'm borrowing your body to do things. If I were to charge in from the front, I'm afraid my mana would be exhausted before I could even reach Cang Zhu Peak."
The Pearl of Life contained the nine drops of blood that he had hidden in the past. With them, he could use the body that was sealed.
It was because of this blood essence that the Spirit Returning Sect treated the nine Natal Pearls as a treasure.
But every time the Pearl of Life was used, the blood would decrease. If it was used up, it would be completely useless. Therefore, he was not willing to use it easily.
The voice in the sword suddenly said, "I have a way. If Daoist Zhang does not come out, you can force him out."
Progenitor Guo's interest was piqued and he asked, "How?"
"Just send a challenge. Just say that you want to fight him. As the leader of a sect, he will not reject you."
Guo Yuan Jun said slowly, "Previously, you rejected me in every way. Why are you helping me now?"
The person in the sword snorted, "If your scheme here fails, you might turn around and look for trouble with my Fengxiang Sword Sect. Why don't you think of a way to let you fight that Daoist Zhang here? If you lose, wouldn't I be able to be free earlier?"
Guo Yuan Jun was not angry. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. But once I send the challenge, the Ku Xin Sect and the Fengxiang sword school will know that I am here. They will send people to kill me. Is this your real intention?"
