One's cultivation level could be increased out of thin air.
How could Meng Shen and Taoist Yan Zhi not yearn for such a technique?
How could they not want to be like Flying Snake Meteor, whose cultivation level soared, and experience the glory above the Ninth Realm?
"Let's go."
Flying Snake Meteor flapped its wings and flew back.
His intimidating power, even though he was restraining it now, still struck fear into everyone's hearts.
Taoist Yan Zhi and Meng Shen led their disciples and quickly followed Flying Snake Meteor.
They had successfully swept through the entire South Chen Dynasty.
However, after the South Chen Dynasty was wiped out, Meteor's cultivation level fell back to the Ninth Realm.
Flying Snake Meteor was slightly stunned, but it still bowed respectfully in the direction of Chang 'an City.
Taoist Yan Zhi saw this and thought, "No wonder I didn't hear anything about South Chen. Gu Hechuan of the Green Cloud Temple did surpass the Seventh Realm later on. That Purple Sun should still be at the Eighth Realm now, right?"
Meng Shen nodded, "That's right. After Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan defeated their enemies, it was rumored that they returned to the Eighth and Seventh Realms.
After that, Gu Hechuan broke through to the Eighth Realm and formed the Dharma when he fought with the Zhou Zhongren in the Land of Old Chu. "
Taoist Yan Zhi heard this and nodded slightly, then said regretfully, "It's only been less than a day …"
Meng Shen turned to look at him, but did not say anything.
Taoist Yan Zhi saw this and quickly said, "I have no intention of complaining or questioning. Even if it's only for a short moment, to be able to experience the mysteries of a higher realm is already very beneficial to one's cultivation.
Gu Hechuan was able to break through to the Eighth Realm in a short period of time. It must be closely related to this. "
Meng Shen said calmly, "It's great that you think this way, Taoist Yan Zhi."
"Of course …" Taoist Yan Zhi secretly sighed in relief.
They returned to Chang 'an together to report the completion of the mission, and Mr. Dark Cloud would take care of them.
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was happily browsing the System.
Using the Guardian upgrade function to upgrade the Flying Snake Meteor to the first level of the Demon Emperor, the Starlight Realm, he had spent a total of 2,000 Guardian Experience Points.
However, Yun Xing had already helped him earn back the 2,000 experience points after he had dealt with the Island Master of Dragon Sky Island, Wang Yuantao, and the Grand Scholar Xu Feng.
In addition, when Flying Snake Yun Xing and the others swept through the East Jin Dynasty, they even triggered a defense mission of an eighth realm and two seventh realm cultivators.
After his subordinates dealt with it, Master Zhang's Guardian Experience Points increased by 1,700 points.
Therefore, releasing the Soaring Serpent this time was not a loss, but a gain.
Zhang Dongyun was quite satisfied.
However, after doing some experiments, Zhang Dongyun made a head-scratching discovery.
After activating the Guardian's upgrade function, he had to first imprint a special seal on the other party. Then, after the other party left the city, he could upgrade the other party's realm.
The problem was that neither Ao Kong nor Chu Yaoguang had sigils on them.
Zhang Dongyun wanted to help them, raise their cultivation base, and capture Ying Xiaowo, so he had to give up.
This made Master Zhang feel somewhat regretful.
However, since he could get the fragment of the Immortals in his hands, he was not in such a hurry to capture him.
As Zhang Dongyun pondered, he looked to his side.
There, a light appeared. It was the view provided by Shen Herong's Azure Sky Eye.
"What's the situation?" Zhang Dongyun asked.
"Eleventh Brother is chasing after the marks left by Eighth Sister. After circling around, he's already at the southwest sea of the Eastern Border. He's still heading west."
Shen Herong's voice came from the image. "It looks like Ying Xiao is planning to escape all the way back to Middle Earth."
Zhang Dongyun said, "If he can't catch up and find her, he'll come back first. He can run away from the Taoist priest, but he can't escape from the Tai Qing Palace."
"I understand," Shen Herong replied.
Zhang Dongyun didn't withdraw his gaze. He was still quietly watching the image shown by the Azure Sky Eye.
The Azure Sky Eye was hidden in the hood on Shen Herong's head, so its view was basically the same as hers.
Zhang Dongyun could see what she saw.
But he couldn't see her appearance.
Zhang Dongyun was actually very curious at the moment. What kind of expression did she have? What was she thinking?
She wasn't sure if Zhang Zhonghang was captured by Chang 'an.
But she saw Liao Ping, who was also from the Nine Peaks Academy, with a higher cultivation and an older age, fall into the hands of Chang 'an.
What information could Chang 'an get from him? How could she not be interested?
Zhang Dongyun stared at the light image for a long time, then withdrew his gaze with a smile.
At the same time, in the Divine Punishment Palace, he projected the figure of Mr. Dark Cloud.
In front of the old man in black was Liao Ping, whose cultivation was restricted.
Looking at the old man in black in front of him, the scholar couldn't help but purse his lips.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Sir, which one of the Twelve Kings of Hell are you?"
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "You don't have the right to ask questions here, but your question is just right, so I can give you the answer. You guessed wrong, I'm just serving His Majesty."
Liao Ping's mouth twitched as if he had a bitter smile. "I am just a prisoner. I am not qualified to look down on a servant. Besides, you seem to have a cultivation above the ninth realm."
Mr. Dark Cloud looked at him indifferently. "You should think more about how to answer my question truthfully and accurately."
In Chang 'an, he had to answer Master Zhang's question truthfully.
But Liao Ping's knowledge was still limited.
After interrogating him, Zhang Dongyun had a rough idea, but there were still some things he wasn't sure about.
The Nine Peaks Academy in the Central Region was now the largest Confucian academy in the Central Region, comparable to the Saint Evolution Mansion.
Although the Sacred Evolving Prefecture had been beaten to a pulp and its vitality had been greatly damaged.
However, it was unusual for the Nine Peaks Academy to be able to challenge the Saint Evolution Mansion in just one or two generations.
This was not one or two generations of cultivators with long lifespans, but one or two generations of ordinary mortals, a short span of twenty years.
Liao Ping reported what happened in Chang 'an to the Nine Peaks Academy this time, but the academy didn't immediately provide him with strong support. The reason was that the Nine Peaks Academy and the Saint Evolution Mansion had officially challenged each other. Now the situation was in full swing.
The Nine Peaks Academy was founded by the Shen family.
Zhang Dongyun referred to the Evil Emperor's memory. The Shen family used to be a famous family with a long history.
But they alone couldn't make the Nine Peaks Academy rise so quickly.
There must be a special reason.
Zhang Dongyun's previous guess was that Shen Herong's fragment of the Immortals had fallen into the hands of the Shen family.
Compared to Yang Li and Ying Xiaowo, it was the Shen family who had figured out some of the mysteries of the fragments, or perhaps they had benefited from it by chance.
But in any case, the Shen family and the Nine Peaks Academy could be where they were today because of the fragment of the Immortals.
However, after interrogating Liao Ping, Zhang Dongyun got a piece of news that concerned him.
When the Nine Peaks Academy was first established, there was a very outstanding student who was praised by the teachers and students of the academy.
She was only a teenager, but she was already recognized as a female prodigy.
Her name was Shen Qian, and she was a disciple of the Shen family.
But a few years later, the girl suddenly disappeared.
According to the Shen family, Shen Qian met with danger when she was traveling, so she died young.
The teachers and students of the academy, including Liao Ping, all felt sorry for her.
Zhang Zhonghang entered the academy later, so he didn't have any contact with Shen Qian.
But it had been more than ten years, and Liao Ping and the others had gradually forgotten about it.
Until this time in Chang 'an, Liao Ping suddenly met a person who made him feel a little familiar.
Like Shen Qian in the past, the girl was talented and had a profound Confucian cultivation at a young age.
However, Shen Qian was an orthodox Confucian disciple like them, and she studied the classics, history, and poetry.
But this time, the person he met only wrote single words, which didn't form a word, and didn't form a sentence.
But the girl's strength was extremely powerful.
After realizing that the girl was Shen Herong, a female guru from the Shen family in the past, Liao Ping felt that it was no wonder.
But at the same time, the memory of Shen Qian in his heart was also evoked.
Although Shen Herong's knowledge and cultivation had completely changed, and she was different from the past, some of her habits of writing still made Liao Ping see some of Shen Qian's shadow.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and meditated.
In the past 31 years, Shen Herong had been reincarnated twice.
The second time was the current Ming Yixue.
Then the previous time, did she return to the Shen family and be born again as the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qian?
In this way, it seemed that everything could be matched.
Shen Herong reincarnated and was reborn in the Shen family with her fragment of the Immortals.
Liao Ping didn't know the details, but Zhang Dongyun deeply suspected that Shen Herong's parents were very likely to be her own parents.
According to the Evil Emperor's memory, Shen Herong in the past looked for doctors and medicine to prolong the lives of her parents, who had limited cultivation and lifespan.
Thirty years ago, her parents should still be alive.
Shen Herong was reborn in the Shen family. Whether it was compensation or mutual benefit, she and the fragment of the Immortals helped the Shen family rise.
Although in Liao Ping's memory, Shen Qian was only the earliest batch of students in the Nine Peaks Academy.
But as the person with the highest cultivation in the history of the Shen family, Shen Herong must have occupied an important position in the establishment and rise of the Nine Peaks Academy.
The Shen family was once suppressed because of her, but then it rose again and reached the highest peak in history because of her.
Zhang Dongyun didn't care about the Shen family and the Nine Peaks Academy.
He only cared about whether she really had a fragment of the Immortals.
And what was the truth about Shen Herong's second reincarnation?
Did she fall out with the Shen family, get plotted against, have the fragment of the Immortals taken away, and then be forced to reincarnate a second time?
Or could it be that she had other plans in mind?
Zhang Dongyun, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened them again.
Based on their previous contact, he was willing to believe in Shen Herong.
However, everything would have to wait until she returned to Chang 'an …
Master Zhang stood up, walked out of the Daming Palace, and looked at the distant sky.
Now, to be precise, the entire Eastern Border had been unified, and it was all in Chang 'an.
