After Zhang Yu sent Tao Dingfu away, he walked down from the platform. He saw Yan Yuming holding something in his hand and trying to tease Lord Miao Danjun. However, Lord Miao Danjun didn't pay much attention to him. He just squatted there and occasionally swayed his tail.
Yan Yuming heard footsteps and looked up. He immediately stood up and bowed. He said excitedly, "Teacher."
Zhang Yu nodded and looked at him. "You've cultivated the Heart's Light?"
Yan Yuming said excitedly, "Yes. Not long after Teacher left, this disciple found the Heart's Light seal."
Zhang Yu asked, "Have you encountered any problems recently?"
Yan Yuming thought about it and said in confusion, "This disciple isn't quite sure what path to take."
Zhang Yu saw through his thoughts and shook his head. "Everyone has their own path. You don't have to imitate me just because you're my disciple. You can walk the path you want to walk."
Yan Yuming said embarrassedly, "I'm just afraid that others will say that I don't look like Teacher's disciple."
Zhang Yu pointed out bluntly, "This is a mental barrier. You need to ask yourself clearly. Are you cultivating for me or for yourself?"
Yan Yuming hesitated and looked at Lord Miao Danjun.
It should be for myself, right?
Yes.
It must be so!
His expression was firm as he said, "Teacher, I think I know."
Zhang Yu reminded him and didn't say anything else. Cultivation still depended on the individual. Moreover, it was different from True Cultivation where there was a chance of qi deviation. Because every path of the Xuanxiu path was a relatively successful method that had been tested by predecessors, unless the cultivator threw himself into the Great Primal Chaos, it was impossible to cultivate to the point of breaking down.
He said, "I'm going to Xuanfu. Since you're here, take some things with you and come with me."
Yan Yuming made an 'oh' sound and obediently carried a good bamboo chest that Li Qinghe brought out. Then he waved at Lord Miao Danjun and greeted Li Qinghe. Then he followed Zhang Yu out.
The North-South Zhenyuan points of the Protectorate had not been completely restored, but the spirituality of Soothing Spirit had been straightened out by Zhang Yu. Now, Auspicious Light City had regained its pleasant weather. On the road, the breeze was gentle, the vegetation was lush, and birds and flowers were everywhere.
Yan Yuming said with a yearning look, "Teacher, when can this disciple fly to fly like Teacher?"
Zhang Yu said, "Your aptitude is not bad, but the path you cultivate is not pure body and mind seals. If you work hard enough, you will be able to fly in the sky in ten years at least and twenty or thirty years at most."
Yan Yuming said with a bitter face, "It will take ten years …" As for the last twenty or thirty years, he actively ignored it.
Zhang Yu said, "There are many seniors in Xuanfu who have cultivated for decades. They can't fly because the number of seals they cultivate is different. Don't be greedy."
In fact, there was no turbid tide now, so there was less disturbance to spiritual power. For some cultivators with good talent, as long as they walked the right path and had the Flying Escape seal, if they only wanted to fly in the sky, a few years was enough.
But if they were not on this path, they could only read the second chapter and then go back to find another seal to cultivate.
The two of them chatted as they walked. Because they were not in a hurry, and Zhang Yu also wanted to give this student a few more pointers, they walked slowly. When the sun was high in the sky, they stepped into Xuanfu.
Zhang Yu summoned the bamboo box containing the clothes in front of him and let Yan Yuming go by himself. He walked in the direction of the Hall of Affairs. When he reached the hall, he saw that other than Xiang Chun, there was also a handsome Daoist with white hair sitting there.
Xiang Chun stood up to welcome him, saying, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang has come."
The Daoist also stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhang Yu. His attitude was very friendly and sincere, saying, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, my name is Chen Song."
Zhang Yu's expression changed. He had heard the name Chen Song from Cai Pa. It was rumored that this person was killed by Yingxiong, but now he was here, perfectly fine. It seemed that there was more to this, but he was not interested in the entanglements, so he did not ask.
After returning the greeting, he said to Xiang Chun, "Previously, I was entrusted by Senior Martial Brother to go to the Resting Land of the Gods to find the divine robe of the previous commander of the Army of God. Today, I have found the divine robe, and some … are the clothes of the predecessors that were lost in the Resting Land of the Gods sixty years ago."
"What?"
Xiang Chun and Chen Song's expressions both became excited.
It must be known that in the battle that year, the previous generation of Xuanfu seniors, including the head of the Mysterious Army, Yan Zhang, had all fallen in the Divine City.
If they could find them, not only would it be enough to comfort the ancestors, but it might also be possible to find some of the lost legacies.
Zhang Yu's thoughts turned, and the bamboo chest floated to the table.
Xiang Chun looked at the bamboo chest, then at Zhang Yu, and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, the clothes of those seniors … are all here?"
Zhang Yu: "Everything that can be found is here, and the divine robes of the Army of God are also here."
Some of these people should have been lost outside Azizama, which was very difficult to find. Of course, it could not be ruled out that the battle was fierce, and nothing was left behind.
Xiang Chun nodded with a heavy expression.
Chen Song turned around at this time, and bowed to Zhang Yu with a serious expression, and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, I want to thank you. These seniors risked their lives to fight against the great enemy of the Protectorate, but after their deaths, they have been wandering in foreign lands. I am ashamed that we juniors are useless and unable to bring them back. If not for you, who knows how long we would have to wait."
Zhang Yu: "I am also a Xuanfu cultivator, and this is something that should be done." At this time, he raised his hand, took out a mysterious jade from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.
Chen Song was puzzled. "Mysterious jade? Junior Martial Brother Zhang, what are you … "
Zhang Yu: "When I was tidying up the clothes of the predecessors, I found a mysterious jade. It should be the head of the previous Xuanfu, and many seals have been passed down from it. It should be lost in the past, and now, it should be returned to the Xuanfu."
Xiang Chun and Chen Song looked at each other, but did not speak.
After staying silent for a long time, Xiang Chun said, "Junior Brother Zhang, you should keep this Profound Jade."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Senior Martial Brother Xiang, what do you mean?"
Xiang Chun sighed. "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, to be honest, although I am now the head of the Xuanfu, this position is not legitimate, and I have done many wrong things in the past, so I am ashamed to continue sitting in this position. Since this mysterious jade was passed down from the previous head of the Xuanfu, then you should be the head of the Xuanfu. Moreover, there is no one in the Xuanfu who is more suitable to take this position than you."
Chen Song also agreed. "That's right. With Junior Martial Brother Zhang's achievements and cultivation, no one in the Xuanfu will be dissatisfied with you. Moreover, you brought back the clothes of the predecessors. I think that even if the head of the Xuanfu was here, he would be inclined to you."
In fact, in the past few days, they had already guessed that Zhang Yu might have obtained the inheritance of the Xuanfu, so this suggestion was not made suddenly, but had been discussed in advance.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said frankly, "Senior Martial Brothers, I don't want to stay here any longer."
Once he took the position of head of the Xuanfu, he would have to guard the Xuanfu for twenty years, and he would be responsible for too many things. This was not in line with his plan to return to the Tianxia mainland to search for the path of cultivation.
Xiang Chun said sincerely, "We also know that Junior Martial Brother Zhang will go to the mainland sooner or later, but don't worry, we will not force you to stay. In the past, the position of head of the Xuanfu has always been appointed by the Protectorate. When it comes to Master Qi, it can only be regarded as a self-appointed head of the Xuanfu, so it can't be considered the real head of the Xuanfu, only a substitute head of the Xuanfu. Junior Martial Brother Zhang, after taking this position, if the time is right, you can leave at any time, and no one will force you to stay."
Zhang Yu changed his mind. If this was the case, it did not matter whether he took this position or not, so why did he have to be the head of the Xuanfu? He looked at the two and said, "Senior Martial Brothers, is there something wrong?"
Xiang Chun and Chen Song were a little embarrassed.
Xiang Chun sighed and said, "Let's make it clear to Junior Martial Brother Zhang. According to the rules of Xuanfu, every new head of the Xuanfu, even if it is a substitute head of the Xuanfu, must write a commentary on the previous head of the Xuanfu, and hand it over to the Xuanfu for safekeeping. If the previous head of the Xuanfu died in office, this commentary will be the name of the person's life."
Chen Song said, "We are direct disciples of Master Qi, so it is not appropriate for us to write this commentary. Junior Martial Brother Zhang, you have made great contributions and can convince the masses, but you are not a direct disciple of Master Qi. If you can write this commentary, it would be most appropriate."
Zhang Yu understood what the two meant. This was actually the name of the successor. The people of Tianxia still attached great importance to a person's name.
If it had been in the past, Xiang Chun would have been the head of the Xuanfu, and he could have conveniently decided the name of Qi Xing's successor as well. Perhaps he would not be stingy with his praise.
However, the people of Tianxia might be arriving soon. Xuanfu did not pay particular attention to the succession of master and disciple, and the head of the Xuanfu was only a nominal teacher. As Qi Xing's direct disciples, the commentary written by Xiang Chun and the others was likely to be regarded as untrustworthy by the Xuanting. If they encountered someone who was more serious about it, it was likely that they would verify it again. That would be a big problem.
However, if he was the substitute head of the Xuanfu, and wrote the commentary in this name, then the Xuanting would probably not do something superfluous.
At this time, Xiang Chun said, "Junior Brother Zhang, you may not know this, but the native Xuanfu of the protectorates all have to record the merits of the Xuanxiu. If you are the substitute head of the Xuanfu, the treatment you will receive will not be comparable to that of an ordinary Xuanxiu. This will be more convenient for you to cultivate in the native land."
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. If he had still needed to consider it before, Xiang Chun's words had moved him. If it was beneficial for his cultivation, then there was no harm in temporarily accepting the position. After writing the commentary, he could give it up.
Thus, he raised his head and said, "I agree to this matter. I can temporarily be the substitute head of the Xuanfu, but only until the day the natives arrive."
Xiang Chun and Chen Song glanced at each other, and their expressions relaxed. They raised their hands and bowed to him, saying, "Alright, then we will leave it to Junior Brother Zhang."
At this time, Chen Song said somewhat pleadingly, "Master Qi has supported Xuanfu all his life. He has made mistakes and also made contributions. Junior Brother Zhang, I hope you can be merciful."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly.
In these sixty years, Qi Huan could be said to have made many mistakes. However, he had already done enough to support Xuanfu as an ordinary Xuanxiu.
Although he was not talented enough, Xuanfu had no other choice at the time.
Moreover, he had used his entire life to protect Xuanfu and the protectorates. During this period, he had not retreated at all, and in the end, he had even paid with his own life. It was indeed not appropriate to criticize him too much.
At this time, Xiang Chun said, "Junior Brother Zhang, the Xuanfu Seal, as well as the various secret treasures hidden by the previous Xuanfu Chiefs, are all in the Xuan Cave at the back. I have not touched them at all. If it is convenient for you, you can go and take them now."
