Three days later, Zhang Yan refined the Fate Plate and took control of the entire hall.
The image in the sky shook and slowly converged, forming his figure again.
But at this moment, a majestic spiritual vigor gushed out from the stone plate, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, gushing towards him.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, knowing that this was the pure spiritual vigor that had been trapped in the main hall for the past 500 years.
If no one used this Qi, it could only be left to dissipate in the body.
Hence, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Qi into his stomach. He then sat cross-legged and refined it.
Twenty days passed quickly, Just Now, he had absorbed all the spiritual vigor. He opened his eyes and felt his spiritual Qi flourish.
He waved his hand and the seal fell from the sky and returned to his hand.
He used his spiritual will to look inside. In a flash, all the decorations in the main hall, from the mountains and rivers to the grass and trees, were all clear to him.
He looked at the sky and saw that there was only one day left before the appointment with the Sect Leader. He thought about it and decided to stay here for now. He would return to the cave abode after this.
He waved his hand and two items flew out from the sky and landed in front of him. He looked at them, one was a jade disk and the other was a jade booklet.
He first picked up the jade disk.
Thirty percent of the Elixir Jade produced by the Spirit Cave in Qincang belonged to the Du Zhen Hall. This item recorded the number of Elixir Jade taken in the past.
He used his spiritual will to explore and after a while, he had a general idea.
When the previous Hall Leader, Zhuo Yuming, was in power, he did not need Elixir Jade and had accumulated a lot of them.
However, he took care of his Martial Niece, Qin Yu, and gave her some from time to time. But most of them were still there.
After he ascended, he did not touch them again, so the number was considerable.
As the Hall Leader, he could decide what to do with these Elixir Jade. No one else could interfere, not even the Sect Leader.
After Zhang Yan looked at the jade disk, he put it down and took out the jade booklet.
This was a record of the past and achievements of every Elder in the Du Zhen Hall. If the Hall Leader was suspicious, he could summon them for questioning. If it was not recorded. He could strip him of his status as an elder and expel him from the palace.
He flipped through the list and found that there were two elders in the left hall. They were Luo Qingyu and Zhuang Bufan. Since the last time they parted. He was still in seclusion.
Looking at the right hall, there was only one person. Elder Zhong Muqing was nearing the end of his life. He was also in seclusion.
As for the Right Palace Master Ning Chongxuan, he was cultivating in his master Sun Zhenren's cave. It was no wonder that the aristocratic families could not find him.
Zhang Yan looked at his past achievements and nodded.
When the five real and fake Devil's Cave came out, he once set up a magic altar and formation at the place where the spiritual vigor was stagnant. He also cooperated with various small sects to ambush people from the Demon Division. On the surface, it was to find out the whereabouts of the spiritual vigor and identify the real and fake Devil's Cave. In reality, it was to force the cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine to come out so that he could kill them with his sword. Later on, even though he had passed away, these altars were still there.
After Ning Chongxuan succeeded the throne, he went one step further and expanded the number of altars several times.
In this way, as long as the disciples of the Bloody Soul Sect came out of the door, they would be able to find out in advance, and then they could quickly lead the people to kill them.
Therefore, with the full support of the master and disciple, the effect was very good. It was like the Northern Land had formed a big net, isolating the Bloody Soul Sect from the other five sects. When he was in power, the Devil's Doctrine in the Northern Land was almost extinct.
After Zhang Yan finished reading, he took out the seal of the Hall Master and stamped it on the jade booklet to show his approval. Then, he flicked his sleeves and kept the two items. He then sat cross-legged and silently practiced the Xuan technique.
On the second day, he woke up from his meditation and turned into a ray of light, flying towards the Floating Heavenly Palace.
Before he reached the main hall, before he even stepped in, he had a feeling that from today onwards, everything inside and outside the Qincang School would no longer be a secret to him.
The Daoist child in front of the door saw him and said, "Zhenren Zhang, Sect Leader Zhenren said that once you arrive, you can go and see him."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and walked inside. Not long after, he arrived at the main hall and saw Sect Leader Qin sitting on the jade platform. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
Sect Leader Qin waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Sit down and talk."
Zhang Yan expressed his gratitude and sat down on his seat.
Sect Leader Qin smiled and said, "The Patriarch left six tablets at the back of the hall, and there were also pictures that corresponded to the six demons that were sealed in each continent. Today, I see that five of the tablets have cracked, and the pictures of the five demons have no fire, so they must have been dealt with by you."
Zhang Yan replied, "Disciple has already suppressed and destroyed five of the demons. It's a pity that the remains of the Azure Dragon are still missing."
Sect Leader Qin did not mind and said, "If this thing appears, it will be difficult to hide its tracks. Let's not bother about it for now."
Zhang Yan nodded and agreed.
Sect Leader Qin stood up and said to him, "Follow me." Saying so, he turned and walked towards the back of the hall.
Zhang Yan also stood up and followed behind.
After walking a hundred steps, they heard the sound of tides. A golden light fell from the hall and covered the two of them. Then, with another flash, there was no trace of them in the hall.
Zhang Yan felt the scenery change. His eyes swept around and in an instant, he had seen the landscape. He knew that he was on a foreign continent.
But when he looked outside, he was shocked to find that this place was actually floating in the void. Up and down, he could see the sun and moon, and billions of stars.
Sect Leader Qin said, "This place was originally a central pillar, but a section was broken off. That day, when Zhenren and the Sky Demon fought, it was shaken and fell outside the Nine Heavens. Later, the Patriarch took it and refined it into our sect's Upper Extreme Hall. It can fly here and there and enter the inner and outer worlds."
He waved his fly whisk again and the two of them flashed. With a gust of wind, they arrived at the top of a cliff. This was the highest point of the continent and they looked down. The mountains were all small, and looking out from here, the land of the nine provinces was like a chicken wrapped in clouds.
Sect Leader Qin looked at the nine continents and said in a deep voice, "In a thousand years, there will be three great tribulations. The first is the Heaven's Tribulation. The second is the Earth's Tribulation. The energy of the earth flows, and the turbid rises and the clear declines. And the third is the Person's Tribulation. Of the three tribulations, this is the fiercest. "
Zhang Yan said, "Since it is the Person's Tribulation, then it must be because of the person and because of the person."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "That is correct. However, this tribulation is divided into immediate and distant worries. Let's talk about the immediate worry first. "He raised his fly whisk and pointed forward. "Look."
Zhang Yan looked over, his eyes piercing through the clouds. He saw that there were three continents joined together. It was extremely vast and he recognized it. He said, "That is where the three western continents are."
Sect Leader Qin said, "You suppressed the Sky Demon and came here before. What do you think of this place?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "The spiritual energy is scattered and the Qi is weak. It is not a place for cultivators to live."
Sect Leader Qin said, "But in the ancient times, that place was a blessed land for cultivators. It was extremely prosperous. This is very similar to the situation now. "
Zhang Yan's thoughts turned and he thought to himself, "Disciple once heard that the reason why these three continents declined was because someone rashly moved the roots of the land. Sect Leader Reverend's intention. Could it be that the Person's Tribulation should also be here? "
Sect Leader Qin said in a deep voice, "This matter could have been done by the predecessors. The people of today can also do it. From the moment the pure Qi weakened, the people's hearts were already uneasy. "
Zhang Yan was deeply in agreement. Grotto-Heaven cultivators mostly relied on the spiritual points to cultivate. The three sects were fine as they used the Qi of other continents to form the spiritual points. However, the spiritual points of the other seven sects were all in the East Flower Continent. How would they be willing to watch as the spiritual points declined? Before this, they reached out to the three sects for help to ask for Essence Qi to delay the decline of the spiritual points.
However, the earth energy of the three sects did not come out of nowhere, so how could they give it away for no reason?
Even if they could get a small share, it could only be used to deal with a moment of urgency. To put it bluntly, this was just a life-threatening move.
In the end, there was only one way left, and that was to steal the Earth Qi.
However, this was undoubtedly drinking poison to quench one's thirst, and it would even mess up the spiritual opportunity of the world.
If it really reached that stage, even the three sects would not be able to remain unscathed.
In the ancient times, the West Continent cultivators could still hide in the East Continent. If the East Continent perished, where could they go?
Sect Leader Qin continued, "When the third sect leader was in power, because he foresaw that there would be a calamity in the future, he discussed this matter with the leaders of the Yuxiao and Shaoqing sects. At that time, the West Continent was not far from the past. In the end, the three of them agreed that anyone who dares to touch the earth's roots will be killed by the three sects!"
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "With the three sects working together, it is indeed not difficult to suppress the other sects. However, those who can touch the earth's roots are also very skilled. If they fight with their lives, not only the East Flower Continent, but the other three continents will also not be safe. I believe the three Zhenrens have magical treasures to protect them?"
Sect Leader Qin said, "That's right. The founder of the Yuxiao school, Zhenren Yao Han, had a jade cliff that could suppress the continent. In the ancient times, when he fought with the Heavenly Demons, he relied on this treasure to protect most of the four continents. After he passed away, this treasure was still in the sect. When I was in the Qincang School annihilated the eight demon tribes, I borrowed this item. Later, when Shaoqing attacked the cultivators of the Central Continent, I also borrowed it."
When Zhang Yan heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "If that is the case, we also need to borrow treasures from Yuxiao? This is being controlled by others. "
Sect Leader Qin smiled and said, "That's right. How can such a big matter be controlled by others? Moreover, this move of Yuxiao might also be a hidden scheme. When the fourth generation sect leader was in power, he had his suspicions and thus became enemies with Yuxiao. It was only after my master took over the position and annihilated the North Underworld Demon Tribe that things eased up a little. "
Zhang Yan asked doubtfully, "In the past, when I thought about this matter, I was always puzzled. The ancient Heavenly Demons had long been annihilated by the founder, and the remaining ones were merely used by the founder to train me. But after thousands of years, they could actually stand on equal footing with our Qincang School. Later, they even had the intention to open up spiritual points. What exactly is the reason for them to be able to do so?"
Grotto-Heaven cultivators did not come out of thin air. To cultivate a grotto-heaven, there were no spiritual points, and they also needed elixir jades. For example, Chongyue Zhen Temple was originally a cultivator of the West Continent, and naturally had the legacy of their ancestors.
Another example would be Dongsheng Zhongtai and Xuanyue Sects. Their foundation came from the Spirit Returning Sect that Founder Dami had annihilated ten thousand years ago. As for the Zhenren of the three sects of Dongsheng South Continent, they were originally cultivators of Donglai. In the ancient times, when there was no formation to isolate the continent from the outside world, it was also a blessed land for cultivation. No matter what, these few sects had roots that could be found.
However, the demon cultivators of the North Dark Continent were originally based on the path of strength. There was no such thing as a spiritual point, and there was no Daoist book. Yet, the eight divisions had produced several grotto-heaven cultivators in thousands of years. The reason for this was really hard to understand.
Sect Leader Qin's eyelids drooped, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Chongju should have told you before that Gui Congyao of the Turtle Division and I are old friends. That year, before I took over as the sect leader, I also had this suspicion. I once asked him where did the eight divisions' provisions come from? He looked at Tiannan, and said, 'I have my own origins'. "
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly. Although the sect leader did not say it explicitly, it was not difficult for him to hear that the eight divisions most likely had the help of Yuxiao.
The chaos of Zhongzhu that year, which led to Shaoqing's westward expedition, was also quite similar to this.
What was worth mentioning was that these two sects later borrowed the Dharma treasure of that Yuxiao Spirit Cliff. With such a connection, one could not help but suspect that there was some ulterior motive. Thinking of this, he said coldly, "Yuxiao is not trustworthy, this method cannot be used!"
