Zhang Yan stayed in the Jingluo Courtyard for several months.
It was also thanks to the Qincang School's vast Mysterious Gate that he was able to find many enlightening techniques.
However, only the three Upper Palace Lords had the right to read the various Dao books left behind by the previous generation's cave. He was slightly regretful that he still could not read them.
Fortunately, there were many talented people among the Yuanying warriors, so he could be considered to have gained a lot.
After he had a plan in mind, he immediately returned to the cave and went into seclusion, using the remnant jade to deduce the technique.
Because he had already put in enough effort before, the process was very smooth. It only took him half a year to complete the first technique.
In the inner room, Zhang Yan pointed forward. With a rumble, dozens of black lightning bolts burst out and exploded hundreds of feet away. Everywhere they passed, whether it was the cave walls, rocks, or gold and jade utensils, they were all turned into nothingness.
With a thought, he waved his sleeve and cast a magic treasure in the air.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he used the Thunder Technique to attack the magic treasure. In less than three breaths of time, the magic treasure was struck by hundreds of lightning bolts. Gradually, the magic treasure's light faded and it trembled. Finally, with a crack, it broke into pieces and fell.
Following that, he used a few more treasures to test it out. He discovered that this Thunder Magic was extremely powerful. Ordinary treasures could not withstand it at all. Even profound level artifacts would not be able to withstand it if they were continuously bombarded by hundreds and thousands of lightning bolts.
He did not know if it was because he was proficient in the Remnant Spirit Contract technique, but among them, there were a few magic treasures that he obtained from the Blood Soul Sect's elders that seemed to be particularly weak.
Zhang Yan nodded subconsciously. This Thunder Technique came from the same source as his own Mysterious Art. Therefore, it could unleash its greatest power, and it could be activated extremely quickly. It could attack in an instant, but its only flaw was that it could not reach far. The further out it went, the weaker its power would be. Beyond two thousand feet, it was almost impossible to injure the enemy.
However, his strength lay in his powerful magic power. If his opponent attacked him from afar, it would be giving up on their strengths and attacking their weaknesses. In order to unleash the magical treasure's divine ability, he would have to find a way to break into the inner circle. At that time, it would be the time for this technique to show its power.
He could feel that this divine ability was limited by his own cultivation and knowledge, and was far from perfect. As his cultivation progressed in the future, there was still a lot of room for improvement. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This thunder technique is derived from the Five Elements Mysterious Skill and was created to deal with the Devil Sect. I might as well call it the Lesser Five Elements Devil Slaying Divine Thunder!"
Although this matter was over, there was still one more matter that needed to be resolved.
After trying out the sword formation that he deduced previously, he felt that there were some areas that were not satisfactory and needed to be improved. But right now he was not in a hurry, so he shook his sleeves, got up from the bed and left the room.
Jing You saw him coming out of seclusion and immediately came forward. He addressed him as "Master".
Zhang Yan asked, "Has the Devil's Doctrine made any unusual movements recently?"
Jing You replied, "Recently, the Demon Sect's disciples have formed groups of three to five and kept coming to the small sects. They obstructed the construction of the altar and other than that, there were no other movements. "
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. Looking at the situation, it should be that after the Devil's Doctrine's failure last time, they no longer used that fierce method of resistance and instead chose to use the art of harassment.
But this did not eliminate the possibility that the other party purposely made such a stance and was secretly waiting for an opportunity to strike. No matter what, as long as his own sect's defense was secure and did not reveal any flaws, they would not be afraid of the other party's attack.
So he said in a low voice, "Instruct the Yuyuan tribe's water demons not to relax at all. If there are any mistakes, I will hold them responsible."
Jing You quickly agreed and said, "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to Master. Half a month ago, Zhenren Zhao from Huanzhen Temple sent a letter saying that he is temporarily staying in Daoist Feng Ming's guesthouse. If Master is free, why not go over and have a chat?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Show me the letter."
Jing You quickly took out the letter from his sleeve and bowed as he presented it.
Zhang Yan took it in his hands and opened it. He nodded and said, "This is indeed a disciple of Huanzhen Temple, he is very thoughtful."
Zhao Houzhou's previous letter was to say that he wanted to fight against the Devil's Doctrine with him. Although he came to Qincang School this time, he purposely avoided Zhaoyou. It was not because he was arrogant, but because he wanted to guard against the Devil's Doctrine's spies. Now that he used the excuse of seeking treasures to stay in Feng Ming's guesthouse, no one would think that he would join Zhang Yan's sect.
Zhang Yan thought that Huanzhen Temple had been fighting against the Devil's Doctrine for a long time. As an elder of Yuanying, Zhao Houzhou must be very familiar with the Devil's Doctrine and should be of help to him. There was no harm in meeting him first, so he said, "Write a letter for me and say that I will visit tomorrow."
After taking care of him, he settled some miscellaneous matters and returned to the inner room to meditate and regulate his Qi-circulation.
At the beginning of the second day, he used the Sword Escape Technique and transformed into a ray of rainbow light as he sped towards the Great Marsh of Dragon Abyss.
Daoren's abode was on the Lone Sky Island above the Great Marsh. This place was originally the residence of Elder Xun, but after Daoren entered the third degree state, he went to the Third Upper Hall to cultivate and abandoned this place. After that, he gave it to his own disciple.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Yan arrived in the sky above the island. In front of the abode, someone came out to greet him. Feng Ming wore a tall crown on his head and wore a robe with white wings. He stood at the front and the person who stood next to him was a middle-aged Daoist. He had tiger eyes and a curly beard. He wore a Daoist robe with crane patterns and there was a cloud floating on top of his head. He was the cultivator of Huanzhen Temple, Zhao Houzhou.
Zhang Yan's eyes swept across and he stepped on the cloud and floated down.
When his body landed, Feng Ming cupped his hands and said loudly, "Senior Zhang, I greet you."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and smiled, "Junior Brother Feng, you are too polite."
Zhao Houzhou stepped forward and bowed deeply to him. He said apologetically, "I have troubled Zhenren Zhang, I have been rude. I hope Zhenren will forgive me!"
Zhang Yan was the head of the top ten disciples of Qincang School and a great cultivator of the third degree state of Yuanying. He was just an ordinary elder on duty at Huanzhen Temple. The difference in their statuses was not small. Moreover, he was the host and a guest. No matter what, he should greet him personally to show respect. But now it was the other way around. Even if there was a reason, it was still a great breach of etiquette. Therefore, he came up to apologize.
Zhang Yan smiled, "Daoist Zhao, you are being too serious. I understand your intention. You don't have to worry about some etiquette."
After exchanging pleasantries outside, Feng Ming invited him into the abode. After entering, they sat down according to the host and the guest and ordered the servant to serve tea and fruits. The three of them started to talk. First, they talked about some secret anecdotes. Then, they talked about the six demon sects. The topic naturally turned to the cultivators under their sects.
Zhao Houzhou said, "Huanzhen Temple has been fighting with the demon sects for a long time. Sometimes, we would send our disciples to wipe out the demon's den. Therefore, we know a little about them."
Feng Ming seemed very interested as he said, "There are devil sect cultivators near our Yue Cang Sect, but most of them hide their heads but show their tails. They don't dare to come out and fight openly, so I don't know much about them. I would like to ask Daoist Zhao. "
Zhao Houzhou put down the teacup and sat up straight. He said in a deep voice, "The six demon sects are under the grotto-heavens. In terms of Daoist techniques and the ability to fight, I think Yuwen Hongyang from the Nether Spring Sect is the best. Rumor has it that he has already understood Dao. He is just one step away from the grotto-heavens. "
Feng Ming raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "So powerful?"
Zhao Houzhou said, "Of course. Back then …"
At this point, he suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and looked outside. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Zhang Yan could see that he was worried and smiled, "Today, there are only the three of us here. No one else will hear about it. Daoist Zhao, do you have anything to say? Just say it. "
Feng Ming also said, "The restriction of this cave was set up by my Grand Ancestor when he was still here. No one will be able to hear it. Daoist Zhao, you don't have to worry. "
Zhao Houzhou was relieved and said, "In my Huanzhen Temple, the one with the highest cultivation is Senior Brother Liang Fengguang. Have the two of you heard of him?"
Feng Ming said, "How would I not know? Liang Zhenren has been in the Dao for eight hundred years. I heard that in your sect, you are one of the few who have inherited the 'Demon Controlling Mysterious Technique' passed down by the founder. Could it be that you have fought with Yuwen Hongyang? "
Zhao Houzhou smiled bitterly and said, "That was by accident. Senior Brother Liang thought that even if he couldn't win, he would be able to fight to a draw. But after fighting, he realized that he was far weaker than him. He thought that his life would be in danger, but there was another person there. Yuwen Hongyang was stopped by him, so he was able to escape."
Feng Ming was surprised and said, "Who is it? Is it a Daoist from Shaoqing Sect? "
Zhang Yan listened attentively. He thought that it was this person who caused Zhao Houzhou to act strangely Just Now.
Zhao Houzhou shook his head and sighed, "This person's name is Lu Junyang. He should be from your sect."
"Lu Junyang?" Feng Ming's expression changed and then he sighed, "What a pity, what a pity!"
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked, "Daoist Zhao, do you know the result of this battle?"
Zhao Houzhou paused and then said, "According to what Senior Brother Liang said later, because both sides had their own misgivings, they didn't use their true abilities. But in terms of fighting abilities, both of them were far better than him."
Zhang Yan nodded inwardly. This Zhenren Liang was the eldest disciple of a sect and had been famous for a long time. He didn't hide his defeat at the hands of others, so he was obviously an open-minded person with a firm Dao heart. His future achievements should be great.
He thought again and suddenly had an idea. He said, "I want to pay a visit to Zhenren Liang. I wonder if Daoist Zhao can introduce me?"
Zhao Houzhou hurriedly stood up and bowed. "This is my honor."
The three of them chatted for a long time. Zhao Houzhou saw that the two of them still had something to say, so he found an excuse and left first.
After he left, Feng Ming asked, "Does Senior Brother Liang still lack manpower?"
Zhang Yan looked over and said with a smile, "Does Junior Brother Feng have the intention?"
Feng Ming waved his hand and said, "How can I compare to Senior Brother Liang's talent? I'm only at the third level of the Core Transformation Realm. Even if I want to compete with the Devil Sect cultivators, I don't have the strength. However, my Uncle-Master's lifespan is coming to an end. He has an unyielding personality and doesn't want to be reincarnated on his deathbed. He only wants to fight with the Devil Sect cultivators."
"Elder Xun?" Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled and said, "This elder is willing to come. I can't ask for more. Do you have any conditions?"
Feng Ming solemnly cupped his hands and said, "If Senior Brother can enter the palace in the future, I hope you can take care of the Xun family."
Zhang Yan understood. Although the Xun family was not an aristocratic family, their ancestor had a Grotto-Heaven Zhenren. He was also one of the 12 Grotto-Heavens that followed the former sect leader Qin Qinggang to conquer the Northern Underworld. Their foundation in the sect was also quite deep. If he could get his help in this battle, he could gather many people. This was a matter of mutual benefit. He immediately raised his hands and cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Feng, please tell Elder Xun that I'll be waiting for you at the Clear Darkness Heavenly Lake at any time."
