Mi Zhenren saw that the grudge between the two sides was temporarily resolved, so he said a few polite words and left.
Tao Zhenren cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, after I refine this Talisman, I'll refine another one and send it to you."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "Then I'll have to trouble fellow Daoist."
In reality, he was in charge of Crossing Truth Hall and could enter and leave Xuan Lu Continent at will, so he didn't care much about a small world like Chongyue True Temple.
However, this was an apology from Chongyue True Temple after all. If he didn't accept it now, then Clear Feather Sect wouldn't owe him a favor and would definitely use other things to repay it. Instead of that, he might as well accept it now and avoid further trouble.
Zhang Yan drank tea and drank wine with Tao Zhenren on the peak and discussed Dao. Unknowingly, three days had passed.
Even though he had achieved Dao, Tao Zhenren was one step ahead of him after all. He had been in this realm for five hundred years, so he naturally had a lot of experience and comprehension. After this discussion, he felt that he had gained a lot.
During this period of time, Carp Tribe and Chongyue True Temple had called back their disciples and clansmen, so they no longer surrounded Clear Feather Sect.
Zhang Yan saw that the situation was settled and wanted to return, so he bade farewell.
Tao Zhenren saw that he already had the intention to leave, so he didn't urge him to stay. He instructed the boy beside him, and not long after, he saw his fourth disciple, Yang Lin, coming up the peak with a male and female disciple.
Yang Lin left the two behind and straightened his clothes. He came up first and greeted, "Greetings to Master, greetings to Spiritual Master Zhang."
Zhang Yan said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony, Spiritual Master Yang."
Yang Lin looked at his master. Tao Zhenren raised his hand and said, "You may dispense with the formalities."
Only then did Yang Lin straighten his body and reply to the two disciples. He shouted, "Why aren't you coming up to greet me?"
The two disciples hurriedly came up to greet him. Perhaps it was their first time seeing a grotto-heaven outside the sect, their expressions were a little restrained.
Tao Zhenren said, "Zhenren Zhang, what do you think of these two people?"
Zhang Yan glanced over and saw that the two of them were people with excellent aptitudes. He praised, "Not bad, I didn't expect to see such fine jade overseas. With a little bit of polishing, you will definitely become a great person."
Tao Zhenren heaved a sigh and said, "No matter how much effort I put in, in these several hundred years, there were only these two people. It's not that we can't compare to your sect. They're even weaker than Nanhua Sect. "
Apart from the aristocratic families, the various sects of Donghua had more or less hidden people to maintain their lineage.
It was like the Shaoqing Sect had hundreds of countries and thousands of tribes. The Qincang School had the Nine Cities of the Black Tortoise on the Longyuan Lake.
These people had been bathing in Spiritual Qi for a long time. Thousands of years had passed. Naturally, it was a place of beauty and talent. Few in the outside world could compare to it. And the cultivators of these sects could choose disciples from here. They didn't have to search everywhere. Even if they died of old age and reincarnated, landing here would increase their chances of entering Dao in their next life.
After Zhenren Tao opened the Clear Feather Sect, he imitated this method and traveled across the sea. In the end, he took in more than a hundred strong and healthy people into the mountain. They were nourished by spiritual vigor day and night, and were given the Qi Refinement Method. After more than five hundred years and more than twenty generations, there were more or less a few people with excellent potential. These two people were one in a million.
Naturally, sects like the Qincang School didn't just look at aptitudes, they also looked at one's character. The Clear Feather Sect's foundation was shallow, so they didn't need to be strict. They just needed to recruit talented people into the sect and then polish their Dao heart.
"These two people, one is Yu Shujing, the other is Yuan Zhongshu. Ever since they entered the sect, they cultivated diligently and formed their Golden Core in fifty years. It's just that they are confined to this narrow island and are ignorant. Can you bring them to Donghua so that they can broaden their horizons?"
Even though Yu Shujing and Yuan Zhongshu were the disciples of the fourth disciple, Yang Lin, they were actually taught by him personally. The reason why he did this was to protect the reputation of Yang Lin's sect.
Zhang Yan thought about it and guessed Tao Zhenren's intention. He smiled and said, "Why not?"
Seeing that he agreed, Tao Zhenren raised his cup and toasted him before drinking it in one gulp.
The calamity was coming. Even though the Clear Feather Sect was far away on the sea, they might not be able to stay out of it. This was his precaution.
If they really couldn't avoid it and the sect was destroyed, at least one disciple would be able to leave behind his legacy. In the future, he could even bring the seniors of the sect back so that they could enter the path of Dao again in their next life.
It was just that Zhang Yan was alone previously and didn't have anyone to entrust him to. Now, be it in terms of status or cultivation, there were few in the world who could be compared to him. Naturally, he entrusted him to.
On the second day, Zhang Yan brought Yu Shujing and Yuan Zhongshu onto the flood dragon carriage and returned to the east. Tao Zhenren personally went out to send them off.
After traveling for over a thousand miles, Zhang Yan said, "The East Continent isn't far from here. There's no need for Fellow Daoist to send us off."
Tao Zhenren nodded and cupped his hands. He said solemnly, "If there's anything you need me to do, just send me a letter."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There will be times when I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist."
He also bowed and returned to the carriage. The two flood dragons shook their bodies and stirred up the wind and clouds as they returned to the East Continent.
One day later, Zhang Yan looked down and pointed at an island. He said to the Wang sisters, "That's Seal Island. In the past, Master searched for the medicinal herbs that could form pills through this sea. In the blink of an eye, it's been five hundred years."
The Wang sisters couldn't help but look down a few more times. They couldn't help but think about how their master could cultivate to such a level without Daoist Dongtian as his master. Thinking about the hardships he had gone through, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Zhang Chan said, "Master, Daoist Jiang seems to be cultivating nearby. Now that Master has returned, do you want me to inform him and ask him to come and greet you?"
Wang Caiwei said, "Teacher, Junior Brother Zihong has been cultivating in the Yaoyin Small Domain all these years, while Junior Brother Han has gone to the Jade Feather Pavilion to cultivate. Junior Brother Jiang has only returned to the sect twice all these years. Why don't we inform them and ask them to come to the sect to pay respects to Teacher?"
Zhang Yan thought for a while and nodded. "That's fine. Be careful on the way."
Wang Caiting blinked and said, "With Master here, let's see who dares to harm us sisters."
Zhang Yan smiled. "There are many capable people in the world. Don't think that you can cause trouble with Master here. Go quickly."
The two sisters bowed and got off the carriage, riding the astral winds.
The flood dragon carriage continued heading east. This time, not far away, he saw a green mountain floating on the sea. It was made of clouds and snow, and celestial birds flew around it. There were many cultivators using escape arts, and it looked quite prosperous.
He thought for a while and figured out its origin.
This was the Crossing Earth Sect that moved out from a small world. The sect master, Yin Zhaokong, was also a person with deep roots. Unfortunately, he was trapped in a small world and stopped before the third stage.
He remembered that this Sect Master Yin had lived for seven to eight hundred years. Now that three hundred years had passed, he did not see any Qi of the Heavenly Grotto. If he did not have something that could prolong his life, he could only reincarnate.
As for concealing one's Qi, it was definitely impossible. For a rising sect like this, if a cultivator entered the Heavenly Grotto, they would only announce it to the world and not hide it.
In reality, this was within his expectations. If a cultivator did not achieve Dao and wanted to become a Heavenly Grotto, he would still need to rely on the Spirit Cave. Even if he did not have the Spirit Cave, he would still need a lot of Core Jade.
Therefore, even after he achieved Dao, he would still need the Spirit Cave to support him. Otherwise, no matter how high his aptitude was or how deep his roots were, it would be useless.
Since ancient times, there was only one exception, and that was Shen Chong, Shen Zhenren.
Guangyuan Sect did not have a Spirit Cave. This Shen Zhenren, with great perseverance, traveled all over the nine continents and searched for Core Jade. He actually managed to become a Heavenly Grotto. After that, he used the Core Jade as a stake and searched for people of the same generation to fight. He used it to gather resources for cultivation. After countless battles of life and death, he managed to cultivate to the state of breaking through the world and ascending. His path of cultivation could be said to be obtained through battles and killings.
When Zhang Yan thought about this, he felt that this predecessor was determined to achieve Dao and had an unyielding will to overcome all obstacles. A heroic spirit rose in his chest. He looked at the mountains and rivers of Dong Hua and chanted with his hands behind his back, "This body has been in Dao for five hundred years. My ambition is everlasting. The stars move. When I sing a long song to ease my heart, I will move the heavens and earth!"
As soon as he spoke, he waved his sleeves and flew up with the wind. He activated his Dharma and suddenly invaded thousands of miles.
As he moved, the sea waves rolled and thunder and lightning appeared in the sky. A mighty Qi passed through the sky and a strong wind came from the west, intending to shake the East Continent.
At that moment, all the sects near the sea felt a surge of spiritual vigor. The people of Taihao Sect and Nanhua Sect's Dongtian were shocked and surprised. "Which fellow daoist from the sea came here? Such tyrannical magic power. "
In the Floating Heavenly Palace of Qincang School, Sect Leader Qin Mobai suddenly woke up from his meditation. He sensed slightly and there was a flash of light in his eyes. He pondered for a moment and waved his horsetail whisk. He said in a deep voice, "Pass down my order. All the Zhenrens of the sect come to the hall immediately without delay."
The sound of a bell was heard and spread throughout the Great Lake of Dragon Abyss.
Not long after, eleven beams of clear light rose from the cave abodes and headed to the main hall.
In the past, when the Zhenrens of Qincang School went out, they usually came with their clones and shadows. Even when they went to the hall to discuss matters, they would conceal their Qi dynamic to avoid making too much of a commotion. At this moment, they did not conceal it and raised their Qi. Above the North Sky, eleven beams of divine light rushed up and shone through the sky.
Such a commotion did not affect other places, but it caused the tribes in the North Underworld Continent to be terrified. This scene was similar to the Qincang School's twelve Dongtian raising their swords to the north thousands of years ago. The chiefs of the various tribes even sent letters to each other, asking if they had offended the Qincang School recently.
At the same time, the six demon sects were alarmed. The Blood Soul Sect, which was also in the north with the Qincang School, was even more so as if they were facing a great enemy. A few Dongtian cultivators were originally in seclusion, but now they had no choice but to stop and come out to oversee the situation to calm the people.
The cultivators of the various Dongtian sects were also bewildered. They did not know what was going on and sent letters to ask.
In the Yuxiao school, Zhou Ruying looked at the North Sky and frowned. "What is the Qincang School doing? And who is that Xuanxiang of the Sea? "
She was a little uneasy and paced around the hall.
After a while, a letter came from outside. The disciple standing at the side took a look at her and went forward to take it. He opened it and let out a sigh of relief. He turned back and said, "Master, so it's Zhenren Zhang of the Qincang School who has cultivated a Dongtian and returned from the sea. The Zhenrens of the sect are happy and have come out to welcome him. Tell everyone not to panic."
"What?" Zhou Ruying lost her composure and said sternly, "Show me the letter."
The disciple was shocked and handed the letter over while trembling.
Zhou Ruying took it and read it. She couldn't help but clench the letter tightly and took a few rapid breaths. She pointed outside and said, "Go shake Planet Jinling, I want to see Master!"
