Zhang Yan sat cross-legged in a cave on the cliff. He spread out his palm, and a trace of mysterious light was attached to the sword pellet. The sword light suddenly expanded, and in an instant, a belt of light as bright as the Milky Way floated in front of him.
He exerted his power again, and the Stellar Essence Sand twisted and struggled a few times. Under his gaze, it slowly separated, and then seemed to have the tendency to split into two.
But before it completely separated, he felt that the trace of mysterious light attached to it was dissipating at an extremely fast speed. He frowned slightly, and hurriedly withdrew it back into the cave and hid it.
Once the mysterious light disappeared, the sword pellet returned to its original state.
This was one of the methods of using mysterious light to control the sword pellet recorded in the "Zhengyuan Sword Scripture", and it was called "Light Separation Method".
When this method was used against an enemy, it could cause the sword light to split and injure people. It was extremely powerful. If it could be further refined, it could turn from two into three, three into a thousand, and a thousand into ten thousand, until one day it returned to its original state. Every grain of Stellar Essence Sand could be used as a sword pellet.
But in order to use it proficiently, it needed to slowly refine the sword pellet with mysterious light, until the sword pellet could transform into a form and be absorbed into the body. Only then could it be used smoothly. But now, it was a little difficult to use it.
Zhang Yan gently exhaled. The road was long, and the road of cultivation was long. The beginning of the great Dao was right below him, and he could not slack off. But there was no need to rush it.
He kept the sword pellet, slowly got up, and stood with his hands behind his back.
At the exit of the demonic cave in front of him, the torrential river water rushed all the way, vast and mighty, and astonishing.
Today was the 12th of December. In another three days, he could borrow the power of the demonic cave to reverse the river water and return to the Great Lake of Dragon Abyss.
But until now, he still did not understand why there was still no response from Qincang School until now.
Not to mention the other disciples of the same sect, he was a True Disciple. Once the sect found out, it was impossible for the sect to ignore it. Although the factions in the sect had internal strife and fought endlessly, it was usually done in the dark and would not be so brazen. This was because this was something that the Sect Leader would definitely not allow.
There was also another thing. Once the news spread, once Zhou Chongju found out, even if he couldn't come, he would ask other experts to come and rescue him. Now that he hadn't made a move yet, it was very likely that no one knew about this, or they found out too late, thus missing the day to enter and exit the Sea Eye.
Zhang Yan thought about it and felt that the biggest possibility was that Xie Zongyuan and the others encountered something on the way, so they couldn't bring the news back to the sect in time.
Thinking about this, he smiled slightly. This place was full of Spirit Qi and was very suitable for cultivation. Moreover, other than the Core Formation cultivator, he did not care about the rest of the Blood Soul Sect disciples. If he saw one, he would kill one; if he saw two, he would kill two!
Therefore, it was better to stay here for a few more days and improve his strength.
Moreover, there was a problem that needed to be solved.
He opened his palm, and with a thought, a smear of golden-red light appeared and flickered in his palm.
He cultivated the Taiyi Golden Book, and the Profound Light also walked the path of metal and fire. As long as he released it, people with good eyesight would be able to recognize that it was an extremely profound cultivation method and would be suspicious of its origins. Therefore, he had to think of a way to hide it.
Therefore, he planned to condense the water attribute Profound Light of the Billowing Cloud Secret Book in the next few days.
Now that he had stepped into the Mystic Light Realm, condensing some water attribute Profound Light to disguise it would not take much effort. At most, it would take another seven or eight days. The remaining time would be used to condense the Yin Heavy Water. Fortunately, he would have methods to fight the enemy openly in the Battle of the Three Pools.
He raised his head and looked at the deep waterway above the demon pit. In a few more days, as long as Xie Zongyuan and the others did not die, the Qincang School would receive the news no matter what.
At that time, he wanted to see who the master and disciple would send to receive him.
The more important the disciple they sent, the more it showed his position in their eyes. On the other hand, he would need to think about his future path.
"Master, Master." Su Yiang called out a few times in a low voice from his sleeves.
Zhang Yan reached into his sleeves and took out a piece of jade, saying, "What is it?"
A green figure floated up, and Su Yiang appeared from the jade. Because he was an original spirit, he turned into a small person standing on the jade. Seeing Zhang Yan, he bowed and said, "Master, I want to stay here."
Zhang Yan's expression did not change at all, and he only said, "Oh? Why is it like this? Tell me. "
Su Yiang braced himself and said, "Master, I've lost my corporeal body. Even though I've read the Source Seeking Scripture, I've only obtained its' method 'and not its' technique '. I'm afraid that even if I return to the sect, I won't be able to help Master and will instead become a burden. After thinking about it, I can only stay here and walk the path of the devil. Maybe in the future, I can become a great help to Master."
The Source Seeking Scripture was not like the One Breath Clear Scripture. Not only did it talk about cultivation techniques, it also talked about how to use them. Xuanmen emphasized on gathering and nurturing vitality, while the devil sect emphasized on killing and plundering. From the beginning, it talked about how to devour the spirits and take other people's things as one's own.
Therefore, Su Yiang had actually only cultivated half of the devil scripture with the original spirit of a meridian opening cultivator. Even though his progress was godly at first, because he had lost his corporeal body, he had no way to break through when he needed the nourishment of Yang essence.
But he still had another path that he could take, and that was the path of the devil!
Among the devils, the yin devil would become the illusory devil in a hundred years, the walking devil in another hundred years, and the true devil in another hundred years. After these three hundred years, the devil would develop its own intelligence and be like a living person.
It was said that there were a few realms above the true devil, and one could even cultivate to the legendary Heavenly Devil. The power of their divine abilities was not inferior to those almighty cultivators.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and understood Su Yiang's intentions.
"Master, I've been comprehending the devil scripture recently, and I can already separate a true spirit. I can leave it with Master. This spirit is originally one with me, and if there's anything, you can summon me to ask." Su Yiang saw that Zhang Yan did not reply for a long time, and he could not help but feel a little nervous.
Zhang Yan knew that this was him expressing his loyalty.
Su Yiang did not have a corporeal body, and if this true spirit was gone, he would definitely lose most of his consciousness. He would be as muddle-headed as a devil, and his advantage over other devils would be reduced by more than half. His fate could be imagined.
However, the devil's cave was vast, and he did not dare to go too deep into it. Furthermore, he did not know where the disciples of Blood Soul Sect would come from. Leaving Su Yiang here was a hidden chess piece that would definitely be useful in the future.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll allow you. Before I leave, I'll leave you here."
Su Yiang was instantly moved to tears. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my wish."
Zhang Yan said solemnly, "I'm going to meditate and cultivate for the next few days. Stand guard at the side. If there's any movement, report it as soon as possible."
Su Yiang hurriedly said, "Yes, Master."
Zhang Yan turned around and walked towards the depths of the cliff wall cave. This place was about five to six feet deep, and was completely a space that he had opened up using the mystic light. With the mystic light, it was a lot more convenient. With just a sweep, no matter how hard the rock was, it would also turn into powder.
After walking to the deepest part, he took out a praying mat from his sleeve and sat on it. He silently circulated according to the Billowing Cloud Secret Manual.
Time passed in a flash, and another four days passed.
Over the past few days, he had made rapid progress. Although the water attribute light had yet to penetrate his chest, there was an undulating blue light that was undulating within his chest. It was enough to conceal it, and in another seven to eight days, he would be able to successfully condense it.
At this time, he felt the ground rumble and tremble. He could not help but open his eyes and walk out.
It turned out that on the fifteenth day, noon had arrived. The surging river once again rose to the sky, and flowed back towards the exit of the devil's cave.
Zhang Yan's face was filled with emotion. Although this was not the first time he had seen this scene, every time he saw it, he felt the wonders of creation. Based on this, how many magnificent and wondrous scenes were there in the world?
There were nine continents in the world, and the East Flower Continent only occupied one corner. If his cultivation was successful in the future, he would travel the world and comprehend the way, and increase his knowledge.
After watching for a long time, just as he was about to turn around and return to the cave, his footsteps halted. He abruptly lifted his head to look upwards, only to see a majestic and solemn green beam of light suddenly descending from above, unexpectedly pushing back the surging river!
A young cultivator wearing a green robe with a long belt and wide sleeves and straw shoes slowly floated down from the pillar of light. His large sleeves fluttered, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. His face was full of a relaxed expression.
This person's facial features could not be said to be handsome. At first glance, he also seemed very ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, there was an indescribable majesty and extraordinariness.
He stood there majestically, as vast as a mountain, as dense as a forest, making people unconsciously look up to him.
As if sensing that someone was looking at him, the young cultivator also looked over. When he saw Zhang Yan, he could not help but smile and said, "Are you Junior Brother Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Yes, I am. How should I address you, Senior Brother?"
The young cultivator smiled and returned the greeting. "I am Qi Yuntian."
Qi Yuntian?
Even when Zhang Yan heard this person's name, he could not help but be secretly surprised.
Originally, Ning Chongxuan wanted him to become a disciple of this person, so he had also inquired about this person. Later, he found out that this person was not only a true disciple, but also one of the top ten disciples of Qincang School!
Not only that, this person was the first disciple of Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen was the first disciple of the school master. If the school master ascended in the future or retired, it was very likely that this person would take over the position.
In other words, Qi Yuntian was very likely to be the future school master of Qincang School! It could be imagined what kind of identity this person had.
Zhang Yan did not expect that this time, the line of master and disciple would send this person to pick him up. The signal sent was too obvious. It would not be long before the school found out through various channels that he was one of Qi Yuntian's people.
His mind quickly calculated. Today, the line of master and disciple sent Qi Yuntian here, first, to reassure him, and second, to show their attitude of supporting him.
Most of the top ten disciples in the school had their own team, but Qi Yuntian did not recruit people from the same school for some reason. He only focused on closed-door cultivation, and very few people in the school saw him.
At least before Zhang Yan entered the Demon Chamber, he did not hear any news of this person coming out of closed-door cultivation. He must have rushed here as soon as he came out.
This was obviously to pull him into their camp, but perhaps in their eyes, he was already a part of the line of master and disciple.
Didn't this mean that Qi Yuntian now felt that his cultivation was successful and began to form his own team?
According to this, if Qi Yuntian was trained as the future school master, then his coming here had already sent a clear signal …
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's heart shook, and he came to a shocking conclusion.
The line of master and disciple was very likely to train him as the future Elder of the Grotto-Heaven to assist the school master!
