After Zhang Yan received the worship of the disciples above the Heavenly Lake, he cast his gaze to check on the achievements of the younger generation — —
In addition to Liu Yanyi and Tian Kun, Wei Zihong was only one step away from entering the third stage. And among the third and fourth generation disciples, there were a few who succeeded in Yuanying, unconsciously nodding his head.
Jing You appeared out of nowhere, leaned forward and reported: "Master, Daoist Luo ordered me to come and ask, how should we respond to the gifts sent by various sects?"
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, then said: "Go and tell Daoist Luo, strictly invite them to come to the hall for a talk."
Jing You bowed and retreated to pass on the message.
Zhang Yan flicked his sleeves, the formation door rotated, and everyone returned to the main hall of the mansion.
When he sat down on the jade platform, not long after, the various small sects' messengers came to the hall one after another, presenting their gifts.
When Huo Xuan was one of the ten leaders, he supported the small sects in the north to deal with the devil tribulation.
After Zhang Yan ascended to the throne, he used them to build the altar to suppress the Devil Sect. Ning Chongxuan and Chen Feng also used them to help.
After four leaders, for more than four hundred years, the relationship between the small sects and Qincang School had never been as close as today.
However, everyone knew that now that the three major tribulations were approaching, if they were not careful, they might be smashed to pieces. Whether it was the person or the sect, it would be difficult to protect them. And it was rare to have a Daoist Cave Master like Zhang Yan, who had many old friends with them, naturally they came over, hoping to get his protection.
Zhang Yan, as the Daoist Cave Master, Qincang School's Du Zhen Hall Master. There was no need to talk to them one by one, the eldest disciple Liu Yanyi received the gifts on his behalf. But seeing that the Beichen and Guangyuan Sects' emissaries were also here, he summoned them to the front of the stairs and asked about the current situation.
After a round of conversation, he found out that the Northstar Sect's Elder Yan had reincarnated over a hundred years ago, whereas his sons Yan Zhenxiang and Yan Zhenhua hadn't been able to enter the Yuanying Realm due to their limited natural endowments, so they'd reincarnated long ago as well. Now, a disciple called Gu Xuntong had succeeded the position of Sect Master.
This time, he heard that Zhang Yan had returned to the Grotto-Heaven. The Sect Leader wanted to pay his respects. However, it was not appropriate for the School Leader to personally leave, so he could only send a few disciples from the Yan School.
After Elder Shen of Guang Yuan passed down all the Daoist books that Shen Chong had left behind, he went into seclusion in the underground palace. There had been no news yet.
Zhang Yan guessed. Perhaps Shen Chong had left behind some pill jades in the past. Elder Shen wanted to test out the heavenly grotto-heavens. He also pointed out the path ahead for the younger generation.
However, all the external objects that Shen Chong cultivated were obtained from gambling with others. After that, he ascended, and the younger generation of the sect didn't obtain much good fortune, but instead suffered a lot. Even if there were still some, there weren't many left.
He thought for a while, then said, "Later, I'll order someone to bring some pill jades over. You can bring them back to the sect and send them to Fellow Daoist Shen, they might be able to help him a little."
Although the Guangyuan emissary didn't know the use of the pill jades, he could guess that they were good items, so he thanked him gratefully.
After the dozens of small sects' emissaries left, the disciples of the various branches of Zhao You Sect came up to pay their respects under the lead of their own masters.
Many of them knew that with their own cultivation, if they didn't have any fortuitous encounters, they would only have one chance to see the Patriarch. If they could get a few words of advice or some rewards, they might not be able to enjoy it for their entire lives.
However, Zhang Yan didn't say a word until the ceremony was over. Only then did he lightly raise his finger and flicked. Instantly, thousands of spiritual lights flew down and entered the foreheads of the disciples. He said, "Since you are disciples of my Zhao You Sect, I will bestow you with a talisman. When you go out, if you meet with danger, it can help you escape."
The disciples were overjoyed and bowed to express their thanks.
Zhang Yan said, "Yan Yi and the others stay, the rest of the disciples can disperse."
The disciples didn't dare to disobey. After bowing a few more times, they all left.
Zhang Yan waited until there were only himself and seven disciples left in the hall. Then, he looked at Liu Kun and Tian Kun.
He already had a plan in his mind. He decided to bring these two disciples to the Floating Heavenly Palace to cultivate. However, the Human Tribulation was difficult, especially when Qincang School needed to be prepared to face the world. Even if these two disciples had great achievements in the future, it was hard to say whether they would live or die after the battle.
However, if there was no killing tribulation, how could they get any fortuitous encounters?
He said in a clear voice, "Both of you, pack up later and follow me to the Du Zhen Hall to cultivate."
Liu Yanyi and Tian Kun had cultivated their cultivations and temperaments to a high level, so when they suddenly heard of such a fortuitous encounter, their hearts were still calm and without joy or worry, and they both bowed and said, "Disciple will obey Master's orders."
Zhang Yan said again, "Caiwei, Caiting, the two of you come up."
When the Wang sisters came closer, he said, "Yan Yi and Tian Kun are not in the residence, so the two of you will work together to take care of the matters of Zhao You Heavenly Lake. Now that you are still in the tribulation, I will give you a word of advice. Don't slack off in your cultivation."
Wang Caiwei curtsied and replied, "We will not let you down."
Wang Caiting also said seriously, "Master, we will remember it."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The two of you must have something to rely on to guard the door. Caiwei, bring me the Yin Killing Blade."
Wang Caiwei acknowledged and called softly. Immediately, a white ray flew out of the pouch and turned around in the hall. It turned into a woman in white. However, when she looked at Zhang Yan, her expression was fearful. She turned around and hid behind Wang Caiwei.
Zhang Yan took a few glances at her and said, "You injured Ling Zhen when you were fusing with someone else. Today, I will help you."
When he finished, a wisp of clear Qi flew out of his sleeve and went outside. It was like a cloud and shrouded her head. Then, it slowly descended.
The woman in white wanted to avoid it instinctively, but she seemed to feel that the Qi was very beneficial to her. Her body swayed a little and she endured it. She let the Qi cloud shroud down and swallow her.
What Zhang Yan bestowed upon him was a wisp of Jun Yang's spiritual essence, which was gathered by the people of the Heavenly Abode of the Du Zhen Palace from the Du Zhen Palace. Although it was not as pure as the one obtained from the Star Stone, it could help this damaged True Artifact to recover some of its vitality. But it was enough.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the cloud gradually faded and the woman in white appeared again. However, her eyes were actually much clearer than usual.
She spread out her sleeves and looked around her body. Then, she revealed a look of joy and bowed to Zhang Yan. She said, "Thank you, Zhenren, for your help."
Then, she turned into a wisp of white light and flew back into Wang Caiwei's sachet.
Zhang Yan turned to look at Wei Zihong and Jiang Zheng and said, "The two of you cultivate well, if you are able to cultivate to the third stage realm within two to three hundred years, Master can allow the two of you to cultivate in the Crossing Truth Hall like Yan Yi and Jiang Zheng.
Jiang and Wei bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher."
Zhang Yan looked at Han Zuocheng and said gently, "I heard that Zuocheng went to Biyu Pavilion to cultivate. How was it?"
Han Zuocheng's body trembled. He knelt down and buried his head on the ground. "Disciple has let Teacher down. These years, I have neglected my cultivation and damaged the sect's reputation. Teacher, please punish me."
Zhang Yan looked down and said calmly, "The way of cultivation is your own business. You only need to have a clear conscience. That is right. Why do you need to care about how others view you? I won't punish you for this, will I? Get up. "
Han Zuocheng said yes in a low voice and stood up with his head down.
Zhang Yan did not say anything more. He waved his sleeves lightly. The disciples understood and bowed before retreating. At this time, he saw Jing You standing by the door. He smiled. "Jing You, do you have something to report to me?"
Jing You hurriedly walked in and said, "Reporting to Master, there is indeed something. Now is not like before. There are many disciples and the affairs are complicated. Recently, Master has returned to the mountain. There are many discussions in the sect. It is said that Master intends to choose a disciple to compete for the top ten disciples. I don't know where this news came from. Do you want me to go and investigate? "
When Zhang Yan heard this, he smiled and said indifferently, "Then let them be."
Not to mention the Human Tribulation, with his current cultivation and position in the sect, the competition for the top ten disciples was no longer an urgent matter.
However, only Core Formation cultivators could enter the top ten disciples. Now that the ten peaks were all Yuanying cultivators, they would have to wait for another ten years. After Chen Feng and the others retreated, there was a chance. Just now, there was no need to worry about it.
Half a month later, Zhang Yan took Liu Yanyi and Tian Kun and rushed to the Floating Heavenly Palace. After arriving at the Du Zhen Hall, he settled the two disciples in the left hall. If anything happened here, he could ask Jing Ren to come and serve them at any time. He did not need to worry. He gave a few instructions and returned to the main hall in the sky.
He sat on the jade platform in the middle of the hall. Because he was thinking about going to the central pillar, he should make some preparations.
He waved his hand and a golden scroll fell from the sky. It floated in front of him and spread out on the platform.
The golden scroll recorded one of the twelve supernatural powers of the Qincang School, "Soul Slaying".
This supernatural power could only be practiced by the people in the Grotto-Heaven. The cultivator needed to cut off a part of his soul and place it on a treasure. In the future, even if he died in a fight, if he could reincarnate as a human, he would be able to give up the treasure and regain his cultivation.
Because of the limitation of his cultivation, he only glanced at it and did not look at it in detail. Now that he looked at it again, he finally understood why such a powerful supernatural power was ranked ninth.
Regardless of whether the cultivators of the Heavenly Abode cultivated or fought, they all relied on the essence energy in their bodies. If they were defeated and died, this energy would naturally be exhausted. However, this divine ability borrowed the energy of the True Treasure to replenish the essence energy, thus continuing the results. However, even if the body was changed, the lifespan would not increase because of this. How much of the original body was left was how much.
Once this technique was learned, it was the same as having another life. There were many people who practiced this technique in the past generations in the sect. It was just that the Qincang School had never been in such a life and death situation, so none of them really used it.
However, there was one thing. This technique was only suitable for those who had achieved cultivation. It was useless for those who had achieved cultivation like him.
Even if he could not practice it, Zhang Yan did not have any regrets. The supernatural power was created by the predecessors, so it was normal for it not to be suitable for him. Now that he had entered the Manifestation Realm, he had gained a lot of comprehension towards the profound arts and divine abilities that he had cultivated in the past. However, he would have to spend some time to deduce it in the future. He smiled lightheartedly and casually tossed it to the side before sitting down with rapt attention.
Half a month passed in a flash. He woke up from his meditation. He felt that the mana in his body was surging and his Qi was full. He walked out of the hall and came to the high platform. He spread out his Dharma and a stream of Chaos Xuan Qi rushed into the sky. It rushed towards the direction of the Central Pillar Continent.
