When Zhang Yan heard that this technique was actually above the other three, his heart trembled slightly. He held his breath and waited for the next part.
Sect Leader Qin continued, "This technique requires the cultivator to understand himself and understand the relationship between heaven and man. Once obtained, heaven and man will resonate with each other and harmonize with each other. Then the spirit will come out and see the truth, the wind and clouds will blow. This is the so-called Heavenly Phenomenon."
When he said this, the hall was suddenly filled with thunder. Zhang Yan could hear every word reverberating in his ears.
When the sound subsided, he seemed to have understood something in the silence. However, when he tried to search for it, he couldn't find any clue. It was like looking at each other through a veil. It was blurry and hard to discern the true meaning.
Sect Leader Qin said slowly, "Just Now, this is not my words. It was the Patriarch's guidance and I said it through my mouth."
Zhang Yan thought for a long time and couldn't help but feel emotional. He said, "This is no longer a technique, but something close to the Dao. Seeking a technique is seeking the Dao. The path of the Great Dao is indescribable and difficult to describe. I believe there are no techniques that have been passed down."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "For you to understand this, maybe there is some fate. I will also give you a word. Walking on this path, you should know what Dao you are seeking. If you can find it, then it will be successful."
Zhang Yan looked up and asked, "May I ask Sect Leader, in the land of the nine continents, how many ancestors have achieved this technique?
Sect Leader Qin said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about the random cultivators. In the land of the nine continents, only my Qincang, Shaoqing, Yuxiao, and Mingquan have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. However, I have never heard of anyone who achieved this technique. As for the ancient Bhadanta, I don't know. Now that I think about it, the Patriarch probably left this technique to let the younger generation know that the Great Dao is endless and have a heart of reverence. It might not let people really walk this path. "
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that no one had accomplished it. However, he thought about it again. Even though this technique sounds illusory, there's definitely a reason why the Grandmaster of the Great Underworld Ancestral Master passed it down in such a serious manner. He pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "Just Now, Disciple was enlightened, and this Dao might be compatible with Disciple."
Sect Leader Qin looked over. His expression turned solemn. He said, "This technique requires one to be courageous and diligent, to be consistent and to have a firm heart. There was no turning back. In other words … Once you set foot on this path, you won't be able to change it. You better think it through. "
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. His magic power and divine abilities were all over the place. There were very few people in the same generation who could compare to him. However, his path had never been peaceful, and when had it not been dangerous?
If he had kept cowering and retreating, he wouldn't have made it to where he was today.
It would have been fine if he didn't know about this technique, but now that he had such a superior technique, why would he care about other techniques?
Without any hesitation, he said loudly, "I'm not afraid of danger. I've already decided to try this Dao."
Sect Leader Qin nodded. Then, he raised his sleeve and took out a jade slip. "Back then, I also wanted to take a look at this Dao. Unfortunately, external matters disturbed my heart and it was difficult for me to take it. Now that I've looked back, I've gained some insights. Since you're interested in this Dao, take it and take a look." With a flick of his sleeve, a ray of light flew down.
Zhang Yan took it and looked at it. He placed it in his sleeve and bowed solemnly. "Thank you, Perfected Sect Leader, for your help."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Anyone who can speak will tell you. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "I'll take my leave." He took a few steps back, turned around, and strode out of the hall.
Sect Leader Qin watched him leave and waved his horsetail whisk. He sighed and said, "Let's see how your fate is. If your Dao heart is firm, you might be able to pass this stage."
After Zhang Yan arrived outside, he did not return to the Du Zhen Hall. Instead, he flew towards the Zhao You Heavenly Lake.
When he flew past the sky above the Dragon Abyss Lake, he happened to fly above the Pill Tripod Academy. He thought that he had not greeted Zhou Chongju after returning to the sect, so he found a way in.
When he passed by the inner hall, he glanced and saw a Daoist with a white beard and a straight back sitting inside. His long beard was neatly trimmed, and there were two children beside him. They looked very intelligent, but from their clothes and aura, they were not disciples of the Qincang School.
The Pill Tripod Academy was different from others. There were often many cultivators from sects who came to ask for pills. Therefore, he only took a casual glance and went in.
The Daoist was calm at first, but when he saw Zhang Yan go in, he was surprised at first. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed. He suddenly stood up, grabbed the arm of a child, and turned into a light to escape.
However, it was an important place of the Qincang School after all, so he did not dare to fly too high. After flying close to the ground for a while, he went outside. Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he could not help but wipe the cold sweat on his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
A child beside him was a little puzzled and said, "Master, why did you run when you saw that Daoist?"
The Daoist sighed and said, "That person is someone we can't afford to offend. If we're slow, I'm afraid we'll lose a layer of skin. Forget it, although I haven't taken enough advantage of him these few days, I've found out a little about that matter. I can go back and have an explanation. Let's go back to the sect now."
At this moment, Zhang Yan was in front of the fish boat. After a little sensing, he did not sense Zhou Chongju's aura, so he asked, "Is Master here?"
After a while, a child came out, looked up, and hurriedly bowed. "So it's Zhenren Zhang. The headmaster has been refining pills in seclusion these few days. I'm afraid it will take a few more months before he succeeds."
Zhang Yan was a little surprised. After he came back a few days ago, although he did not personally come here, he had written to Zhou Chongju. Zhou Chongju said that there was nothing going on recently, so why did he suddenly go into seclusion? Zhang Yan asked, "Is there something in the sect?"
The child shook his head and said, "There's nothing in the sect, but the day before yesterday, an Elder Wu from the Pingdu Sect came. I heard that he is a relative of Zhenren Qin's mother. After he arrived at the sect, he came to the headmaster to ask for pills. Because they are old acquaintances, the headmaster did not give him face and refined a furnace of pills for him. But this person was very impolite. Asking for a furnace of pills was not enough, and he came again and again. He either said that the disciples lack pills for cultivation, or he had a disciple who was seriously injured and the headmaster couldn't chase him away, so he went into seclusion to refine pills."
Zhang Yan's heart changed, but he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. After a little sensing, he could no longer find the Daoist's aura. It was obvious that he was gone. After thinking for a while, he threw out a token and said, "Just Now, this person has left. If he comes again, find someone to report to me, and I will handle this matter."
The child received it in a fluster and said, "If he comes again, I will definitely report to Zhenren Qin."
Zhang Yan got up and went out of Danding Courtyard. He went all the way back to Zhao You Heavenly Lake and entered the main hall. He summoned Jing You and asked, "Has the remuneration for the Daoists from Dong Sheng Continent been arranged?"
Jing You said, "Everything has been arranged. It's just that Daoist Master Wei said that she will return to Dong Hua in a few days. Before she leaves, she wants to see my teacher."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Go and invite her to see me."
Jing You accepted the order and left.
After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Daoist Nun Wei entered the hall. She bowed and said, "Greetings, Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and invited her to take a seat. Seeing that one of her arms was still empty, he asked, "Why didn't Daoist Wei reattach her arm? If this goes on for a long time, it will hinder the path of Dao. "
Daoist Nun Wei didn't care and said, "That day, it was eaten clean by the demonic insects and can't be found. My Daoist body is damaged, but I can't peek into ascending to Dao. That will naturally be my senior brother. I have cultivated until Yuanying, which is also the end. If I lose it, then so be it."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "You always contribute to my Qincang School, but it's not good to see Daoist Wei go back like this. My teacher has a few spirit medicines that can regrow severed limbs. Why don't Daoist Wei stay for a few more days, and I can find them for you."
Daoist Nun Wei hurriedly thanked him. Since there was a way to regrow severed limbs, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Just Now when I came back, I heard that Daoist Wei was looking for me. What's the matter?"
Daoist Nun Wei said, "That day when I came to Dong Hua, I saw that Daoist Pengyuan's Daoist techniques seemed to be somewhat similar to my Xiao Cang Realm. After thinking about it, I felt that it was hard to say if there was a connection. Since I'm here, I wanted to pay a visit. However, I'm originally a visitor from another continent. If I go rashly, you might suspect that I have ulterior motives. I heard that Daoist Wei has a disciple cultivating in this school. I wonder if you can introduce me to him?"
Zhang Yan pondered for a while. Although this matter seemed small, it involved two orthodoxies. If he was unlucky, it was very likely that something bad would happen, so he had to treat it cautiously. Thus, he said, "Later, I will write a letter. Daoist Wei can take it to find my disciple."
After thinking for a while, he picked up his brush and wrote a letter, handing it to her. After Daoist Nun Wei thanked him, she excused herself.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Zhang Yan returned to the Inner House. When he sat on the couch, he took out the jade scroll given by the sect leader. He channeled his mana into it, and there was a flash of spiritual light. Lines of words floated in front of him.
What was written on it was mostly about the various taboos and things that needed to be taken into account before cultivating the Ultimate Technique. However, the handwriting did not come from the same person. He secretly thought that other than the sect leader, there should be other people's insights. It might even be the previous sect leaders.
After looking at it a few more times, there was one part that caught his attention.
The general meaning was that if the Path of the Ultimate Technique had already been walked by someone before, they would occupy this path and block those behind. Even if one's talent surpassed anyone in history, one would not be able to enter again.
Zhang Yan smiled. How would he know the path taken by someone before him?
This kind of unsure thing, if he took it to heart, it would only add to his worries. There was no need to pay too much attention to it.
After looking at the jade scroll, he thought to himself, "According to the jade scroll, after the few almighty people created the small world, there were still some things left behind for those who are fated. I have to go look for them, and at the same time, I can collect some of the Earth Yin Qi. Even if I don't use it myself, my disciples can use it in the future."
This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Right now, in order to deal with the three calamities, all the sects were doing their best to nurture their disciples. If he was late, it might be taken away by someone else.
As for the matter of seeking the Dao, he had no clue. Thus, he decided that after dealing with this matter, he would first clean up the remaining few ferocious beasts and see if he could use this to push his Understanding Spirit to the next level. After thinking about it, he said, "Call Yanyi to my place."
The mirror of the small pot beside him flashed, and a ray of light flew out.
Not long after, Liu Yanyi entered the cave abode and curtsied, "Disciple greets Master."
Zhang Yan said gently, "In a few days, Master will travel outside to search for opportunities to break through the realm. When I'm not here, you will take care of the cave abode."
Liu Yanyi looked at him and said, "Master, disciple is willing to serve you."
