PS:
Saturday, two hours later.
As the voice rose, a handsome young Daoist folded his sleeves and walked into the inner room. The Strong Cloud above his head melted into light and gathered Qi. It seemed to separate and merge, glowing with five colors. The Strong Qi around his body surged like the tide and the sea.
Zhang Boyan was shocked. He stood up and said, "Manor Head?"
He immediately reacted and looked outside. He lowered his voice and said, "Is the Perfected Master outside an elder of Manor Head's sect?"
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.
Zhang Boyan's expression changed slightly and he took two steps back.
Although he had joined Zhang Yan's sect, he was still from the Devil Sect's Netherspring. If he was careless and offended the Perfected Master Dongtian, he would have no way to reason with him. So he slowly retreated to the side and didn't say anything.
When Goh Su-min heard that it was the Sect Master of Hanyuan, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He heard clearly that the Perfected Master Dongtian outside was this sect's elder. It wouldn't be difficult for him to protect them. He also stood up and bowed, "Is this Sect Master Zhang? I'm Goh Su-min. Nice to meet you."
Zhang Yan raised his hand and returned the bow. He smiled and said, "So you're Sect Master Wu. A few days ago, I received a letter from Zhang saying that Fellow Daoist Wu is willing to submit your sect to Hanyuan. Is that true?"
Goh Su-min shook his head and sighed. He said with a sorrowful expression, "My disciples are useless and couldn't protect the sect. I'm ashamed to face the founder. Now, I have nowhere to go. Fortunately, I was recommended by Zhang Zhang. I want to ask for your protection. However, I also know that this matter involves Fengxiang Sword School. If Sect Master Zhang is not willing to accept me, I don't dare to complain."
Zhang Yan thought for a while. He asked, "How many Kwantam-in disciples does Fellow Daoist Wu have?"
Goh Su-min sighed deeply and said, "There are nineteen of us. One of them is my junior apprentice-brother, who is also a Yuanying practitioner. There are twelve other disciples, and the rest are servants."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. He smiled and said, "I didn't come here for anything else. I'm here to receive my fellow daoists."
Goh Su-min raised her head and looked at Zhang Yan in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Sect Leader Zhang, are you saying that you're willing to accept us?"
He hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked, "Then … if I, Kwantam-in, join your sect, can I still open a courtyard and accept disciples?"
What he feared the most was that after entering the Deep Abyss Sect, he would no longer be able to pass on his sect's teachings. If that was really the case, he could only think of another way.
Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "Your Kwantam-in will be considered a lower sect of my Deep Abyss Sect. Fellow Daoist Wu and your junior apprentice-brother can become my sect's guests. You can choose a place to live in the Divine House Mountain and open your doors to pass on your teachings without any restrictions. Just like in Nan Wu Mountain. "
When Goh Su-min heard this, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This was clearly protecting Kwantam-in under the wings of the Deep Abyss Sect. He couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. Lifting the hem of his robe, he bowed and said, "Sect Leader Zhang's great kindness, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in this life. In the future, as long as you are a disciple of Kwantam-in, you will definitely serve the Deep Abyss Sect as your master and will never betray it!"
Zhang Yan took a step forward and helped him up. He said, "In the future, you will be a member of the sect. Headmaster Wu, there's no need to stand on ceremony."
When he first paid attention to Kwantam-in, it was to make it easier for him to interfere with the matter of the seal. He had never thought of bringing him into the sect. But now that he was willing to rely on them, he wouldn't push him away. After all, there were still two Yuanying cultivators in the sect that were worth recruiting.
As for what Fengxiang sword school would think, he didn't care. The purpose of this trip was to cause trouble for Ku Xin and Fengxiang.
At this moment, Shen Dong, who was standing at the side, walked up and bowed to Zhang Yan like an adult. His eyes widened, he raised his head and asked, "Daoist Just Now, you said that there's a legacy that you're going to give to Xiao Tong. Is that true?"
Goh Su-min hurriedly said, "This is my junior apprentice-brother Shen's son. His name is Shen Dong. If it wasn't for junior apprentice-brother Shen willingly staying behind for me, we definitely wouldn't have been able to escape. Sigh, I've let them down."
Zhang Yan looked over and asked, "Are you really willing to learn?"
Shen Dong nodded vigorously and said, "Xiao Tong is willing."
Zhang Yan slowed down his tone and said, "You're the nephew of Headmaster Wu and the descendant of an elder in Kwantam-in. Naturally, you can inherit the mystical skills of the sect. With your potential, if you're nurtured carefully, you might even surpass Headmaster Wu in the future. As for my legacy, although it's not simple, it's been thousands of years since it was passed down. There aren't many people who can guide you, and you might even receive great karma. Have you really thought this through?"
Since he had obtained the Nine Life Pearl, he should find a successor for the Spirit Returning Sect. Although he didn't know if the Spirit Returning Sect had a path to Dao, at least it had a way to become a Grotto. If there was a person with deep roots and a strong will, it wouldn't be difficult to establish a sect, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a hero.
This Xiao Tong in front of him was a suitable candidate. However, this sect was destroyed by Dami years ago. Once he accepted the Dao Child, he would have to bear the karma.
Shen Dong's little face showed a determined expression and said, "Father once said that there is no way to enter the Grotto in Kwantam-in martial arts. Even if I practiced it, I would at most be stuck in the Yuanying state for the rest of my life. I would never have any hope of avenging my father. Instead of that, I might as well choose another sect and seek to become a Daoist." As he said this, he knelt down.
Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Alright, I'll see how far you can go."
He took out a Jade Talisman from his sleeve and channeled his mana. He took a step forward and lightly tapped on Shen Dong's forehead.
Shen Dong's body unconsciously leaned back, but he only felt a chill on his forehead. He touched it with his little hand and realized that the Jade Talisman was gone.
Zhang Yan said, "When you open your meridians in the future, you will be able to read the scriptures within. There's no need to rush now."
Shen Dong knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you, Zhenren. I don't know how to repay your kindness of teaching Dao. I hope Zhenren will allow me to perform the disciple's greeting and serve you."
Zhang Yan looked at him and smiled faintly. "There's no need. If you don't understand anything about the martial arts, I'll allow you to come here once a year to ask for guidance."
Goh Su-min's heart sank and she said anxiously, "Oh no, my nephew is smart, but this time he's too smart. If he wants someone to guide him, he can just say it openly. Zhenren Zhang is the one teaching Dao, how would he ignore it? This time, I better not make him hate me. "
Shen Dong trembled slightly. It was obvious that he understood that Zhang Yan had seen through his thoughts. He laid on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to get up.
Goh Su-min sighed and went forward to help him up. She said solemnly, "Dong 'er, there are many smart people in our generation, but there are only a few who are truly successful. The path of cultivation still depends on one's own sincerity and hard work. Don't play any tricks, that's not the right path!"
Shen Dong lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head. "Yes, Dong 'er thanks Uncle-Master for your teachings."
Zhang Boyan snorted disdainfully when he heard this.
The path of cultivation was filled with competition. What path could there be if one only cultivated? It was necessary to be scheming. If one saw an opportunity, one had to snatch it at all costs. If one gave in and was modest in all aspects, how could one compete with others?
No matter what, there were three Yuanying Perfected Persons in Kwantam-in. They had thousands of years of legacy. If they weren't weak in all aspects, how would they have fallen to such a state today?
He didn't think that Shen Dong's thoughts Just Now were wrong. Instead, he had a thought of cherishing talent. However, Shen Dong had been by his side for so long, but he didn't have such thoughts. It could only be said that the two of them weren't fated to be master and disciple.
Zhang Yan's expression changed, and he looked like he was listening. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Zhang, bring Sect Leader Wu and the rest back to the mountain to settle down. My Uncle-Master is here, so you don't have to worry that someone will come and stop you."
Zhang Boyan replied, "I understand."
Goh Su-min cupped her hands and said, "I'll go arrange it now."
The two of them cupped their hands at Zhang Yan and brought Shen Dong out.
After the disciples of Kwantam-in arrived at this celestial city, to prevent any accidents, they gathered at one place. In just a short while, all of them were found.
After a short discussion, they quickly boarded the flying boat. They shook their talismans, and a light cloud rose from the bottom of the boat, bringing them out of the celestial city.
However, out of cautiousness, they didn't go straight north. Instead, they headed west and prepared to take a detour from the West Sea Realm to the Shenwu Mountain.
However, they had only traveled three to four hundred miles when the body of the boat suddenly trembled. Spiritual vigor surged like a tide, and the people on the boat swayed.
Wu and Zhang saw that the situation wasn't good, so they quickly suppressed it with Pavilion Master Qian. After traveling another hundred miles, it finally calmed down.
Everyone had just calmed down from the shock, and they didn't know what happened Just Now. Suddenly, someone shouted and pointed to the back, "Look!"
Everyone turned around to look, only to see three streams of clear air that connected to the sky and the sea appear in the sky, tumbling and surging, coming from three directions. Although they were separated by hundreds of miles, the sea was vast, and they could vaguely make out the outline of the three.
The one coming from the north seemed to be a huge brush wrapped in auspicious clouds. The golden and silver pole danced in the dark clouds. The one coming from the east was a large tablet with a coiled phoenix that looked like a talisman or a sword. Its tail feathers were swaying, and there were colorful stars. As for the south, it was a treasure cauldron with a round lid and no ears. It was filled with auspicious air, and the runes were floating. The three dharmas spread out for a thousand miles, and they were surrounding them.
Goh Su-min froze for a while, then she said, "That, that's the people of South State's three sects' Grotto-heaven …"
Pavilion Master Qian was also so shocked that he couldn't move. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said anxiously, "Senior Brother, if the people of Grotto-heaven were to fight, we won't be able to resist them. We need to leave this place as soon as possible."
Goh Su-min said worriedly, "Those are the people of three Grotto-heaven. I don't know if Zhenren Zhang's master can handle them."
Zhang Boyan sneered. Although he didn't know which Grotto-heaven Zhenren it was from Qincang School, he didn't think that the three people in the sky were their opponents. He just said, "Headmaster Wu, what's the use of worrying about this? Pavilion Master Qian is right. If the people of Grotto-heaven were to fight, I'm afraid that the sea within a thousand miles would be turned upside down. It's better to leave this place as soon as possible."
At this moment, heaven and earth suddenly shook. The sea broke and the waves split. A towering mountain stood in the sky. Clouds stretched for a thousand miles, and frost fell from the sky. It was so powerful that it confronted the three dharmas from afar. Not only did it not fall into a disadvantage, but it also seemed to be overshadowing them.
The flying boat under them was also shaken by the surging spiritual air. It was almost overturned. It took a lot of effort to stabilize it. This time, they didn't dare to look anymore. They shook the control talisman repeatedly, turned it into a light rainbow, and hurriedly flew to the west.
