On a nameless island in the Great Pool of Dragon Lake, a light screen rose up from the treasure scroll. As the sun shone down, it was as if the water was connected to the sky.
Zhang Yan was sitting cross-legged on a rock. He had already received the letter. The Crossing Earth Sect had already left the sect and were heading towards the Great Pool of Dragon Lake. A thousand people coming was not a small matter, so he had to personally oversee it to prevent any accidents from happening.
At the Xuan Lu Continent, he had already arranged for Jing You to be the guide.
After a few days, the light screen rippled and Lin Zhaofeng walked out. The person behind him was a dao child. Aside from the two of them, there was no one else.
Lin Zhaofeng looked around cautiously. When he saw Zhang Yan's figure, his expression relaxed and he bowed. "Fellow cultivator Zhang."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting with a smile. He pointed outside and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please take a look. This is the Dragon Lake of my Deep Azure Sect. There are no restrictive formations here. Fellow Daoists from your esteemed sect can rest assured and come over."
Lin Zhaofeng was a bit embarrassed. He knew that his appearance had been seen by the other party Just Now.
He coughed and changed the topic. "Wait for me to call my fellow sect members over, then I'll chat with fellow cultivator."
He whispered to the Daoist child beside him. The latter responded and ran back. Not long after, more than a thousand cultivators came out in a line.
Many of the elders didn't want to be able to escape the cage one day, so they looked around in a daze. At the same time, like Lin Zhaofeng, their eyes were filled with caution.
This couldn't be blamed on them. They were originally cultivating in the Xuan Lu Continent, so it was inevitable that they would be like this now that they were in a completely unfamiliar place.
However, the junior disciples didn't have such complicated thoughts. This was the first time they had come to the Outer Realm, so they looked around curiously. However, aside from a vast expanse of smoke, there was nothing else in their field of vision.
Jing You walked to Zhang Yan's side and whispered, "Master, everyone has been brought over."
Zhang Yan glanced around and memorized everyone's faces. After pondering for a bit, he turned around and asked, "Fellow cultivator Lin, why haven't I seen your sect master?"
Lin Zhaofeng sighed. "When we were about to leave, we heard that enemies were coming. Senior apprentice brother was afraid that something would happen to the sect, so he stayed behind to guard the sect. I don't know how it is right now."
Zhang Yan nodded his head and said, "So that's how it is. Outside the Great Swamp, there are many beautiful mountains and rivers. I have already chosen a place for your sect. If you don't mind, I can bring you there to settle down first before entering the lower realm to receive your sect leader."
There were many mountains and rivers to the south of the Great Pool of Dragon Lake. Because it was close to one of the few Spirit Caves in the world, it was not much different from a normal sect's mountain gate.
When Lin Zhaofeng heard this, his heart was filled with joy. It was inevitable that he would feel like he was living under someone else's roof. Now that he had entered this world, to be able to immediately find a place to stay was the best. He cupped his fists and said, "I can't thank you enough."
Zhang Yan waved his hand and put away the treasure scroll into his sleeve. He then threw it out. A ray of light flew out and turned into a flying palace that was a hundred feet long.
He first stepped inside and invited everyone to come up. Then, he cast a spell and the flying palace was lifted up by a cloud and slowly moved out of the sect.
After leaving the Great Pool of Dragon Lake, they traveled south for another ten minutes. Zhang Yan retracted his mana and the flying palace landed on a mountain.
Lin Zhaofeng looked around and saw that the mountain range here was like the sea, the water flowing around the peaks, the white chain like a dragon, the atmosphere was magnificent. He couldn't help but secretly nod his head. It was his first time here, to be able to temporarily stay in such a place was already not bad.
He tilted his head and saw that the north and east ends of the horizon were filled with water vapor.
Needless to say, the north was the Great Pool of Dragon Lake and the east was the boundless ocean. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at this place where he was going to rebuild the sect in the future.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his senses. He turned around and saw four rays of light that could be said to be full of vigor coming from the north. In an instant, they arrived in front of him. Then, the light dispersed and four Daoists walked out.
His heart shook. These four people were actually in the third stage of Yuanying and their cultivation was very profound. He couldn't help but tense up.
The four Daoists walked up and bowed to Zhang Yan. They said in unison, "Greetings, Hall Master."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
The leading Daoist said, "Hall Master is too kind."
When Lin Zhaofeng saw this scene, he was instantly quite shocked. He then glanced at Zhang Yan and thought to himself, Fellow Zhang can even casually order around a 3rd stage cultivator with such a deep cultivation. Looks like his status in the sect is even higher than what I previously thought.
After Zhang Yan finished talking to the four Daoists, he turned around and said, "Daoist Lin, now that the East Flower Continent is going through a calamity, the situation around us is unstable. Your sect needs to quickly set up a protective formation. This is my Du Zhen Palace's Elder, he can help you protect your sect during this period of time."
Mo Zhaoyue heard this and couldn't help but say loudly, "Why go through so much trouble? My Du Chen Sect can …"
When Lin Zhaofeng heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and didn't let him continue. He then cupped his hands to Zhang Yan and said, "Then I thank you for your kindness."
After all, they weren't cultivators of the East Flower Continent. It was normal for the other party to make such arrangements. If they wanted to harm them, there was no need to go through all this trouble. It was unwise to be entangled in such a small matter.
Zhang Yan made such arrangements not to keep an eye on them, but because the appearance of so many people here would most likely attract the attention of the Devil Sect.
The Devil Sect's methods were strange and they had many ways to play with people's hearts. The cultivators of the Xuan Lu Continent had never dealt with them before. If they suddenly encountered them, they would most likely be plotted against. With these Du Zhen Palace's Elders, they could be on guard.
Half a day had already passed by the time he had finished arranging everything here. Zhang Yan declined Mo Zhaoyue and Lin Zhaofeng's suggestion to follow him. He opened up the Realm Entry Scroll again and with a flash of light, he passed through the door and entered the Xuan Lu Continent.
Every time the scroll was opened, the place he entered and exited was different from the last time. Therefore, the place he stepped into was an unfamiliar place. After determining the direction, he flew towards the Huandan Peak.
Six hours later, he was within a hundred miles of the Huandan Peak. When he looked over, the peak was surrounded by a thick layer of dark clouds. Occasionally, there were flashes of lightning.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was a sign that the formation of the mountain gate was broken and did not recover, causing the spiritual vigor to be scattered.
His speed increased a bit, relying on the talisman he got from Lin Zhaofeng's body, he arrived at the mountain unimpeded. He saw that most of the beautiful temples on the mountain had collapsed, almost turned into ruins. Most of the original floating peaks in the sky had also fallen to the ground.
However, he could still sense a vigorous aura condensed at the peak.
With a flash of light, he arrived at the peak in an instant.
He looked down and saw Yin Zhaokong sitting alone on a broken rock. However, his expression was calm. Other than looking slightly tired, there was nothing wrong with him.
He seemed to have sensed that someone had arrived. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Yan. He stood up and bowed, "Zhenren Zhang is here."
Zhang Yan asked, "Sect Master Yin, did the enemy attack the mountain gate?"
Yin Zhaokong's expression was calm. He smiled, "There were a few enemies who came looking for us, but they have all been dealt with."
Zhang Yan saw that he was unwilling to say more and did not pursue the matter. He threw out a talisman and said, "The disciples of your sect have already settled down in the Donghua Continent. This is what Fellow Daoist Lin asked me to pass to you."
Yin Zhaokong took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the token that he had agreed with his Junior Apprentice-Brother. He was instantly relieved. He raised his head and looked around. He pointed and said, "The Qi of the earth here will be handed over to Zhenren today."
Zhang Yan did not stand on ceremony. He smiled and said yes.
He looked around and pondered for a moment. Then, he flicked his sleeves and threw out dozens of banners. Then, he cast spells. The banners shone with spiritual light and gradually formed a matrix with him as the center.
This matrix was not used to trap people, but to make it convenient for him to collect the Qi of the earth.
After doing this, he leaped into the sky and threw Yan Zhujing's bottle up into the sky. He then used his mana again and in an instant, the rolling Qi of the earth was pulled out and gathered into the bottle.
A few months later, in the Heart of the Defense Grotto.
Zhou Ruying sat behind the table and held a letter in her hand. She frowned and thought to herself, "The Qi of the earth was taken by that Zhang Yan. Looking at the situation, after he returns, he will try to break through to the next realm. This person is Zhou Chongju's disciple. In the future, when he gains power, he will definitely make things difficult for the Zhou family."
There was actually an unspeakable reason in her heart. Back then, after the sword battle between the 16 sects, she used a clone to chase after Zhang Yan. The two of them could be said to have been enemies for a long time. Thinking about this, she felt annoyed. She pinched the corner of her sleeve and thought to herself, "Why don't I think of a way to stop him?"
But after thinking for a while, she could not come up with a solution.
Zhang Yan was now a side hall master of one of the three halls of the Dark Azure Sect. It was difficult to plot against such a figure with ordinary tactics.
After thinking for a long time, she stood up and went to the front of a lamp. She flicked out a spark, and immediately a cluster of light rose three feet high. Not long after, a blurry figure appeared and said, "Junior Apprentice-Sister, why are you looking for me?"
Zhou Ruying said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, you also received the news from the small world?"
The person opposite her chuckled and said, "I have heard of it. Why do you mention this, Junior Apprentice-Sister?"
Zhou Ruying said seriously, "Senior Apprentice-Brother should know the identity of that Zhang Yan. If we let him gain power, it will inevitably be disadvantageous to the Zhou family."
The person opposite her immediately understood what she meant and immediately became silent, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Junior Apprentice-Sister, do you still remember the matter of Chen Taiping's Daoren sacrificial refining of the Thirty-six Peaks?"
Zhou Ruying nodded and said, "Chen Taiping has been sacrificial refining this treasure for a few years. I heard that it needs thirty-six Heavenly Hundred Reincarnations Stones. It seems that there are still two left, but what does this have to do with the matter at hand?"
The person said leisurely, "Although Heavenly Hundred Reincarnations Stones are hard to find, we happen to have two in South Cliff Continent. Junior Apprentice-Sister, you can write to Chen Taiping and borrow some Jun Yang essence from them. He will promise to return it after three or four hundred years."
Zhou Ruying's eyes brightened. Since Zhang Yan came to the small world to obtain Qi, it was very likely that he wanted to borrow Qi to achieve success. With the foundation of his first grade Dan, the Heaven Essence and Earth Qi he needed must be several times more than ordinary people. The Qi stored in Qincang School might not be enough. If she could borrow some, it might really be able to slow down his progress.
But immediately, she shook her head and said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, you are thinking too much. The Jun Yang essence is such an important thing, Qincang School might not be willing to take it out."
The person chuckled and said meaningfully, "If we don't try, how will we know? Besides, I, Yuxiao, am not going to return it. It's just a few hundred years late. "
