Zhang Yan sat in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake for half a month, taking care of all the matters that had accumulated after the battle of the Devil's Cave. Feeling that there was nothing else for him to do, he was ready to set off for the small world.
However, going there required the use of a talisman from the sect. This item was currently stored in the Merit Courtyard of the Nine Courtyards. Since he had already made an agreement with Meng Zhen, there was no need for him to pay a visit personally.
He only found a disciple and ordered him to deliver his letter. After that, he quietly waited in the cave abode for a reply.
After about an hour, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. He opened his eyes and lifted his sleeves to brush the small mirror. Immediately, a bright light flashed on top of it. The hazy smoke on it dissipated, revealing the scene outside the mountain.
And at this moment, there was a spiritual light flashing in the sky. It seemed to be flying from a very far place. As it neared, in an instant, a gust of wind swept through the clouds. Within a radius of a few hundred miles, all the clouds were actually tumbling.
Zhang Yan's gaze focused. He immediately determined that to be able to cause such a commotion, the person who came must be the Enlightened Master of the Heavenly Abode. However, from the scene, there was no hostility. It was most likely that he was here to pay a visit, but he didn't know which sect's Enlightened Master was here.
At this moment, a whirlpool collapsed in the clouds. From inside, a six-armed divine general wearing a helmet and armor appeared. He held a whip and held a joint. He was a thousand feet tall, and his body was surging with colorful qi. Dozens of spiritual treasures and golden weapons surrounded him, and jade necklaces hung from his body. There was an object that was completely white like jade. It had camel eyes and ox ears. It looked like an elephant, but not an elephant, like a boar, but not an animal. The air was filled with the sound of bells ringing and pearls falling.
The Divine General arrived in front of the Great Dragon Abyss Swamp and didn't proceed any further. Instead, he shook his body and released a boundless amount of clear Qi. Then, he turned around and withdrew all of it, revealing a handsome Daoist with a full forehead and a green beard.
He cupped his hands in the direction of the Qincang School and said, "Fellow Daoists of Qincang, Ping City's Wu Weiyi is here to visit."
Not long after, he saw Meng Zhen personally coming out to welcome him. After the two of them exchanged greetings, no one knew what they said outside the door. Then, he flew to outer space.
Zhang Yan thought to himself that it must not be a small matter for such a person to come to Qincang School in person. However, the Dongtian in the sect would worry about it, so there was no need for him to ask about it. After thinking for a while, he calmed down and concentrated. He entered a meditative state.
An hour later, the Daoist and Meng Zhen walked out of the Purple Light Courtyard's guest hall together. The Daoist raised his hand and cupped it, saying, "Meng Zhen, the Devil Tribulation hasn't ended, but the Earth Tribulation has arrived. In order to put an end to this disaster, I have no choice but to seek help from your esteemed sect. Please forgive me for my lack of manners. "
Meng Zhen said, "As fellow cultivators of the Xuanmen Sect, if your sect is in trouble, I, Qincang, will not stand idly by. I will report this matter to Sect Leader Reverend later."
The Daoist bowed. He said, "In that case, I thank you on behalf of my sect. Farewell."
Meng Zhen also raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Forgive me for not sending you off."
The Daoist leaped and turned into clouds and wind, flying away. In an instant, he broke through the high clouds, causing the heavens to tremble for a while. The remaining force slowly dissipated.
After Meng Zhen watched him leave, he walked back to the main hall and entered the inner room. He saw Sun Zhenren already waiting there. The latter said, "Senior Brother, what is Wu Weiyi doing here?"
Meng Zhen pressed his hand down and gestured for him to sit down. He also sat on the main seat in the hall and said, "It's because of the previous matter. He wants us to agree to open a small world and let him in to collect the Yin essence of the earth."
Sun Zhenren sneered. He said, "The Pingdu Sect is so thick-skinned. That small world was originally shared by our three sects. Why did we give it to them for no reason? Moreover, the Dharma treasure in our sect has long been taken away by that person. Although it has been refined, only one person can enter. If he occupies it, who knows when he will come out? When that time comes, what will happen to our disciples? "
Meng Zhen said in a low voice, "It's a little different this time. The Yuxiao school has already relented. I heard that a disciple from Mount Li has borrowed a treasure to enter the small world. Wu Weiyi is here because he is afraid that he will act in private and anger the Qincang. He is here to greet us."
Sun Zhenren was stunned. He frowned and said, "What does the Yuxiao school mean by this? If they set an example, wouldn't they be benefiting others for nothing? Moreover, the Yin essence of the earth is limited. Even if they take out all of it, the calamity will still come. It can't be stopped. "
Meng Zhen stroked his beard and said, "Previously, Venerable Ling Ya sent a disciple to deliver a letter to the Sect Master. One of the words in it makes sense."
"What did this Daoren say?"
Meng Zhen said, "There are still many people from the Heavenly Abode among the sects. Now that the calamity has just started, they can still try to stop it. However, if it really comes to a point where there is no way out, there is no guarantee that it won't have the idea of attacking the Nine Continents' Earth Root. Even if there is no sign of it now, it will definitely lead to a great disaster in the future."
Sun Zhenren smiled and said disapprovingly, "The Nine Continents' Earth Root is the source of the spiritual vigor of heaven and earth. If it is not someone with great mana, don't even think about touching it. With your mana, what can you do?"
Meng Zhen said seriously, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, don't be careless. There are many secret treasures in this world that can steal the spiritual vigor from the Earth Root. Once it causes any unexpected disaster, it is not something that can be reversed by human power. It is very likely that the same mistake as the West Continent will repeat."
Sun Zhenren's expression changed slightly.
Meng Zhen said again, "My teacher has already said that when the three calamities occur, everyone will be in the calamity. Even people of my generation, don't think about staying out of it."
Sun Zhenren said loudly, "Even so, we can't let them take it. Didn't Zhang Yan Just now write a letter to go to the small world? Ask him to hurry up and take as much of this essence as he can."
Meng Zhen thought for a moment and said to the boy beside him, "Go and call Zhang Yan here."
The boy bowed and went out to carry out the order.
After a while, a sword gleam flashed outside the hall and landed in front of the steps. The boy entered and reported, "Hall Master Zhang has arrived."
Meng Zhen nodded and said, "Invite him in."
The boy immediately passed on the message. Not long after, Zhang Yan arrived in the hall. He cupped his hands and bowed to the two people on the seats and said, "Esteemed Masters, Zhang Yan greets you."
Meng Zhen pointed at a praying mat in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk."
After Zhang Yan thanked him, he came up and sat down.
Sun Zhenren said, "Just Now, you are in the cave abode. Did you see the strange phenomenon in the sky?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I wonder which sect the esteemed master is here?"
Sun Zhenren sneered, "That is Ping City Cult's Wu Daoren. He is here to ask me, Qincang, to open the small world and collect the Earth Yin essence to nourish the spirit vein and stabilize the spirit cave."
When Zhang Yan heard this, a few thoughts flashed through his mind. He then looked up and said, "Is this Esteemed Master doing this because the Earth Trial of the Three Heavenly Trials has arrived?"
Meng Zhen sighed and said, "Exactly. The Devil Trial started almost three hundred years ago. I thought it would take more than a hundred years before the Earth Trial starts. I didn't expect the first signs to appear."
The spiritual vigor of a continent was like the ebb and flow of the tide. When the turbid Qi flourished, the pure Qi would decline. Even if two of the demonic caves were destroyed, it would not stop this trend.
In this trial, even if the demonic sects did not move, they could still watch as Xuanmen declined.
The spirit cave of the three major sects was formed by the Qi of the other continents, so they could be detached from the outside world. However, the other seven sects relied on the spiritual vigor of Donghua Continent, so this change would naturally affect them.
Yuan Yang, Taihao, Nanhua, and the other sects might be able to support the situation in the beginning, but the Pingdu Sect was small and weak. In addition, the demonic sects were watching from the side. If anything went wrong, they might be in danger of being overturned.
Perhaps after thousands of years, the situation would be reversed under the operation of the heavenly secrets. However, the defeated sects would not have the chance to prosper again.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, 'It's no wonder that the Pingdu Sect's Heavenly Abode Sect's Heavenly Abode personally came to ask for help. This matter involves the survival of the sect, so there's no need to care about face. However, the sects must have a plan to deal with the Earth Trial. Since they came here in such a hurry, it seems like they just found out about this. "
Thinking about this, he became suspicious and asked, "Could it be that all the sects have heard about the inside story of this small world?"
Meng Zhen shook his head and said, "After thousands of years, there are very few people who know about this small world. The three sects will not take the initiative to talk about it. However, the Netherworld Spring Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, so they might know a thing or two. Perhaps they deliberately leaked the news to cause discord among the Xuanmen."
Zhenren Sun said, "Since a thousand years ago, Shaoqing has absorbed the essence of his own family, and no longer interferes with the matters of this world. Originally, if Yuxiao and I could speak as one, we would not be afraid even if the news was leaked. At least we could temporarily suppress this storm, and it would not be too late to open the door after the disciples have taken the pure Qi of the small world. However, Yuxiao has agreed to this matter first, so you need to go in and make a trip, in case you work for others."
Zhang Yan said in a clear voice, "I am willing to go."
Meng Zhen took out a scroll from his sleeve and waved it. It slowly unfolded in the air, taking up half of the hall. Just Now it stopped, and one could see the clouds and the mountains inside. It was obviously another world.
He instructed, "Zhang Yan, because the real treasure to enter this world was taken by that person, this item was refined later on. However, it is still not as good as the original item. Right now, I can only send you here. This world is vast, surrounded by the ocean on the outside and mountains on the inside. It is a situation where the sky is round and the earth is square. There are many demons and monsters inside. With your cultivation, you have nothing to fear, but I am worried that the commotion this time will attract that person's disciple. You must remember not to be careless."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I will remember."
Sun Zhenren flicked his hand and threw a jade bottle to him. He reminded, "This is the Yan Zhu Bottle, it can absorb essence Qi. You don't have to be polite, feel free to take it. You are originally a First Grade Gold Core, if you really use the method of borrowing Qi to create a cave, the essence you use will definitely be many times more than your peers. Even so, no one can say anything about it."
Zhang Yan took the jade bottle and put it away. He bowed and said, "I will go now."
After he finished speaking, he took a step into the scroll. His body felt light and he found himself standing in the blue sky.
The mountains below were undulating and the clouds were misty. In the distance, there were a few red-crowned cranes flying in the sky. He took a quick look and found that the spiritual Qi in this place was not much weaker than the Great Lake of Dragon Lake.
In the past, a few powerful people moved almost a hundred spiritual mountains and beautiful rivers from the nine continents. However, this world was very vast, almost the size of a continent. Moreover, the Earth Yin essence was hidden deep inside, so it was not easy to find it in a short period of time.
However, he was not in a hurry. He could take this opportunity to polish his cultivation and look for the opportunity to enter the Slope State. Looking at a direction, he leaped and turned into a shocking rainbow that swept across the sky.
