In Donglai Continent, more than a hundred years had passed since Zhang Yan's incarnation entered Mount Qinghe to cultivate.
After Lord Le received the teachings of Zhang Yan's incarnation, he trained his troops and attacked the demons. The next year, he regained control of the entire province and established a dynasty.
However, at this time, there were demons gathering outside the continent to fight against the imperial army. Due to a moment of carelessness, they suffered heavy losses and suffered several defeats.
In order to gather people's hearts, Lord Le received advice from Prime Minister Lin and used half of the country's resources to build a temple and a high platform in Mount Qinghe. He worshipped Zhang Yan as a virtuous celestial master and led people to worship him every year.
Lord Le reigned for thirty years and personally led troops into battle twenty-two times. It could be said that he spent his entire life on the battlefield. At the age of fifty, he passed away due to a heart ailment.
After his death, his eldest son died early and his eldest grandson ascended the throne. At this time, the Le Dynasty had already occupied four provinces and half of Donglai. However, after decades of war, the people were exhausted and the population was declining. They were temporarily unable to expand their territory.
Thus, with the advice of a wise minister, they stopped the war and recuperated for twenty years.
At this time, the Le Dynasty had a million households and a hundred thousand elite soldiers. They felt that their treasury was full and their armor was sharp. Thus, they led their troops into battle and destroyed the six demons. They beheaded all of them and presented them at the foot of Mount Qinghe.
From then on, whenever King Le succeeded the throne, he would come to Mount Qinghe to pay his respects and pray for good weather and for the peace of the people. Every time there was a battle, he would first train his troops at the foot of the mountain to show his determination to eradicate the demons.
At the back of Mount Qinghe, the mountain path here was different from the one in front of the mountain. It was rugged and difficult to travel.
At this time, there was an ancestor and a grandson walking along the steep slope.
The old man was over a hundred years old but was still hale and hearty. His legs were strong and he reached a rock. He held his grandson's hand and said, "Mao 'er, you must remember, all descendants of the Yu family who come to this mountain to pay their respects to our benefactor, regardless of age, must not walk on the right path in front of the mountain. This is to show their sincerity."
His grandson was only five or six years old. He nodded his head as if he understood.
Mount Qinghe was high up in the clouds. It took Old Man Yu two days to reach the peak of the mountain.
At this point, the narrow mountain path had already come to an end. There was only a wide jade staircase. There were also rows of stone tablets on both sides. All of them had names written on them.
The Le Dynasty had its laws. All disciples of the Imperial Clan were required to pay their respects to the Shangde Immortal Master, or else they would not be listed in the Imperial Clan Register. The names written here were all left by them.
As he got closer, he could see more than ten elite guards walking back and forth.
Because every year people would come to this place to seek the Dao as a disciple, they were afraid that they would disturb the Shangde Immortal Master's peaceful cultivation. Therefore, the imperial court stationed this group of guards here.
The leader of the Forbidden Guards sensed that someone was coming from below. He raised his long dagger-axe and shouted, "Halt! This is the cultivation place of the Immortal Master of Shangde. If you do not have an edict, please leave immediately. "
Old Man Yu didn't panic. He walked forward and clasped his hands together, "General Lin, greetings."
When the leader of the Forbidden Guards saw him, he quickly put down the long dagger-axe in his hand and bowed respectfully, saying, "So it's Elder Yu." Then he looked at the child and asked, "Is this Elder Yu's grandson?"
Old Man Yu replied, "Yes. While I still have the strength, I brought him up to pay my respects to my benefactor."
The leader of the Forbidden Guards stepped aside and said, "I have duties to perform and can't accompany you. Elder Yu, please take your time."
He knew that although the people of the world were indebted to the Immortal Master, there was only one family that could call him benefactor, and that was the Yu family.
Rumor had it that their ancestor was on good terms with the Immortal Master. Later on, the mother and son were personally escorted by the Immortal Master to De Le County. Both families had a deep relationship.
The fact that everyone in the family, regardless of gender, lived a long life seemed to further prove this rumor.
The current Le King had rewarded the Yu family several times and even summoned them to be officials, but the Yu family never accepted.
Old Man Yu thanked the leader of the Forbidden Guards and climbed to the peak with his grandson.
Among the people of the world, apart from the royal family, only the descendants of the Yu family could reach this place.
He pointed at a mountain not far away that was shrouded in clouds and said, "Mao 'er, look. That is the place where the benefactor cultivates."
The child widened his eyes and looked at it curiously.
Old Man Yu stroked his beard again and said, "A hundred years ago, your ancestor was just a newborn. If it wasn't for the benefactor's protection, his corpse would have been left in the wilderness and fed to the demons."
"The descendants of my family will guard the temple for generations to repay the benefactor's kindness."
"You must remember, no matter how the world changes in the future, do not let the common people disturb the Immortal Master's peace."
The child raised his little face and said, "Grandpa, I will guard the cave for the benefactor and prevent the demons from coming up the mountain."
Old Man Yu felt happy and laughed out loud, saying "good" three times.
He lit candles in front of the mountain and prayed from afar.
Three days later, the candles were extinguished and the food and water were all gone. He had to go down the mountain.
Before he left, Old Man Yu looked at the cave and sighed, "Great-grandmother, on her deathbed, still couldn't forget. She wanted the descendants of the Yu family to personally thank the benefactor and kowtow. I'm afraid there's no hope for me in this life. I can only entrust it to Mao 'er."
He held the child's hand and sang a song in his old voice. Under the light of the setting sun, he walked down the mountain step by step.
Spring passed and winter came. Another hundred years had passed.
The old man had passed away long ago and the child was now white-haired and old. Just like his ancestor, he brought the descendants here to pay their respects, hoping to see the benefactor.
The current King Le carried on the legacy of his ancestor. He fought hard and finally chased the demons out to sea. He had already recovered eight counties and acquired an island overseas, making it the Nine Counties.
On the day of his success, he thought that his achievements were unparalleled. He came to Mount Qinghe to offer sacrifices, just to see the face of the immortal. However, he did not get what he wanted and left with regret.
Outside the Donglai Continent, a dragon carriage floated in the air. This was where Zhang Yan's real body was. Because there was a breath of Divine Sense left in the body, he polished his cultivation day and night. It was a place where his cultivation had reached the peak of the third stage.
His mind had been immersed in the broken jade for nearly two hundred years. If he were to calculate the time spent inside, it would have been sixteen thousand years.
The difficulty of achieving this technique was far beyond what he had imagined.
Only now did he realize that he had inadvertently stepped onto the right path by studying the Erosion Inscription.
To achieve this technique, if one did not first understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, it would be useless no matter how much comprehension he had. When he reached the juncture, he could not take a step forward and could only sigh with regret. Even if he went back to cultivate, his Dao heart would be hard to repair and he would waste time.
To do this, he must first understand the truth and understand the origin of fate. So, once he found his own Dao, he could attract the response of heaven and earth.
In the broken jade, Zhang Yan's incarnation sat cross-legged on the ground. Countless Erosion Inscriptions floated around him. They were so dense that they could not be counted. However, as he concentrated, they gradually gathered and finally turned into two words.
These two words looked simple, but a few scattered strokes seemed to contain infinite true meaning. However, it was like a broken mirror and a cracked tile. There seemed to be a place where they fit, but it was difficult to connect. It was as if only one stroke could make up for it in order to finally become one.
He focused and calculated with his heart. After an unknown amount of time, a light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly raised his finger and wanted to point. However, at this moment, his movements paused. It was as if this stroke was extremely heavy.
With this point, there was no turning back.
In the future, even if he could really prove his Dao and ascend, he would probably be entangled with thousands of calamity techniques. If he was careless, he would die and his Dao would disappear. His soul would scatter and there would be no possibility of restarting.
However, at this moment, he heard a soft ring from the Qinghong Sword Pill. It lingered in his heart and didn't go away for a long time.
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled. "Okay, with you by my side, what do I have to fear? It's just killing through calamities and grinding away all difficulties."
His eyes turned to the Erosion Inscription and he thought, "I hope that once this technique is born, all the fated people in the world can use it to enter the Dao!"
With a thought, he pointed it down!
At this moment, a mysterious feeling surged into his heart.
Without seeing, without knowing, he knew.
Unclear but clear. Without understanding, he understood.
At this moment, all the Venerable Grotto-Heavens in the world felt something and unconsciously looked toward the east.
Zhang Yan's mind retreated from the broken jade. He slowly got up and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked into the sky and after a long time, he smiled and chanted, "Don't fall into reincarnation and enter the universe. Pass the Dao in the human world. I am willing to kill thousands of tribulations with one sword and exchange the heartless for the sentient heaven! "
With this, all the restraints on his body disappeared and he took a step forward!
Boom!
The heavens and earth shook!
In an instant, a wisp of mysterious Qi surged out of his body and soared into the sky. It actually broke through the clouds and surged into the Nine Heavens in one go!
This Qi covered the sky. Its appearance was chaotic, but its form was illusory. It was hidden in the clouds and was boundless. It was so deep that it could not be described with words. It was so vast that there was no way to describe it. It was unfathomable and filled the world.
With this collision, the East Lai Continent's restrictive formation shattered. The entire celestial mountain was shaken out of the small world and escaped into the real world!
At this moment, something fell like a meteor and entered the mortal world.
Under the impact of this Qi, the High Cloud that had shrouded the people's heads for thousands of years slowly dispersed. The stars in the sky were no longer covered and poured down from the sky. They shone on the mortal world and bathed the entire world.
Once this Dharma appeared, it stood in the air. However, it circulated the Six Voids and breathed in and out the Heaven and Earth.
With this traction, the Earth's Root that was buried in the depths of the earth reacted. There was a trace of spiritual vigor that extended from the spiritual veins of the mountains and rivers to the surface and broke through. Boom!
This Qi surged up. The West Sunken Continent that was far away from the Extreme West was the first to bear its force. The earth shook and spiritual vigor gushed out like a spring and slowly cleared the sky.
It was the same for the West Sink Continent and the West Overlord Continent. After the three streaks of spiritual vigor rose to the sky, they converged into one and surged towards the East.
Not only that, the Middle Pillar Continent, East Flower Continent, North Underworld Continent, South Cliff Continent, and the East Victory Continent that was out of the sea also surged with Earth Qi. Spiritual vigor leaked out and sped towards the sea.
In the continent of the world, wherever the Earth's Root touched, spiritual vigor rose and finally converged like a tide. It crossed the ocean and gathered at East Lai!
On the Clear Jade Spiritual Cliff of Yuxiao school, a handsome young man suddenly stood up. He looked towards the East and let out a surprised sigh. "The Heavenly Stars respond to its power and the nine continents support its Qi. This is clearly the sign of achieving the Ultimate Dharma. Whose sect is this?"
