After Zhang Yu left the academy, he headed towards the southeast direction. When he entered Ju Province, it was already midnight.
Not long after, he entered An Shouyi again. Specks of light were distributed along the winding river, and clusters of dazzling light were condensed between the mountains.
He looked up and saw the Crane Hall that stood above the lake in the center of the city. It was emitting waves of clear light, and there was a figure that seemed to be aloof from the world on top of it.
He activated his flying light and flew over. In a few breaths, he was near.
He raised his hand and bowed to Zhu Xuanshou in the sky. Then, he shook his sleeves and dispersed the brilliance. He slowly floated down on the platform of the Crane Hall.
Zhu Xuanshou looked at him and gestured to the side. Then, he moved to the praying mat and sat down. He said, "Xuanzheng, you must have something important to tell me."
Zhang Yu walked up and sat on the praying mat in front of him. He said, "Just now, I was informed by a fellow Daoist that there is a suspected 'Spiritual Pass' in the southern region of Qingyang Upper Continent."
When Zhu Xuanshou heard this, his expression changed slightly. He asked, "Can you confirm it?"
Zhang Yu said, "That's why I need to personally make a trip there to confirm it. However, I'm afraid this news won't be able to be hidden for long. If this spiritual pass is real, then it will definitely attract the attention of others."
Zhu Xuanshou said, "Xuanzheng, are you here to ask for my help?"
Zhang Yu said, "That's my intention. If Qingyang Xuanfu can control a Spiritual Pass, we will no longer need to rely on the two prefectures to communicate with the outside world. "
Not only that, even if they can control the Spiritual Pass, they still need to defend it. This was not something he could do alone. He must rely on the power of the entire Xuanfu.
Zhu Xuanshou thought for a while. He said, "I can't do this. If I do, it will attract the attention of someone outside the region. This will cause internal and external turmoil. However, since you are Xuanzheng, I will lend you the most precious treasure of Qingyang Xuanfu, the 'Qingyang Wheel'. I think it will be enough. "
At this point, he waved his sleeves. In a split second, a green sun seemed to have appeared on the platform of the Crane Hall. The light was so bright that it illuminated the heaven and earth.
Zhang Yu glanced over, only to feel bursts of scorching light shooting over. He could vaguely see a faint silhouette within the light, but when he tried to sense it, he was blocked by a surge of arrogance, as though it was resisting him.
At this moment, Zhu Xuan's voice rang in his ears, "Xuan Zheng can use the seal bestowed by Xuanting to subdue this treasure."
When he heard this, he immediately took out the seal and held it in his palm. As soon as this item appeared, it was as if clear water had melted. The burning aura immediately converged, and it became tame from its initial resistance.
At this moment, he could clearly see that it was a cyan wheel as tall as a person. It was spinning endlessly, and from time to time, it emitted a slight buzzing sound. It was clearly a magic tool, but it gave off a feeling of exuberant vitality and boundless vitality.
He walked forward and pressed his hand on it. As soon as he touched the cyan light, the wheel fell into his purple gold pouch without any resistance.
Zhu Xuan reminded him, "If that place is really the 'Spiritual Pass', then there must be a mysterious force left behind from the ancient times. Try not to use this treasure as much as possible to avoid colliding with each other and breaking the Spiritual Pass, causing it to be contaminated by the Turbid Tide."
Zhang Yu replied, "Thank you, Xuan Shou, for your reminder. I will remember it."
Zhu Xuan Shou said, "If that place is really the 'Spiritual Pass', then I will speak to the two manors. They will not interfere. You can do whatever you want."
Zhang Yu nodded. He raised his sleeves and bowed to Zhu Xuan Shou. With a flash of cyan light, he had already left. When it was time for breakfast, he had already returned to Mizar Academy.
However, just as he stepped into the golden platform, he suddenly felt a wave of heat rising from the soles of his feet. His heart skipped a beat. He called Li Qinghe over and asked, "After I left, did anyone come by?"
Li Qinghe said, "I was just about to report to you. Not long after you left yesterday, Lieutenant Wen Cong, who was by Commandant Su's side, came by. She brought many antiques and statues. She said that these were Commandant Su's spoils of war and that it was useless for her to keep them. They also took up a lot of space. When she heard that you liked them, she brought them over. Among those antiques and statues, many were indeed very large and could not fit in the hall.
Zhang Yu asked, "Is Lieutenant Wen Cong still here?"
Li Qinghe said, "Qinghe wanted to keep Lieutenant Wen Cong, but Lieutenant Wen Cong said that she still had military matters to attend to. After putting down the things, she left in a hurry."
Zhang Yu nodded and let Li Qinghe go. He then walked down the stairs to the basement.
The lower he went, the more he felt the heat. When he pushed open the door to the basement, the first thing he saw was a statue that was ten meters tall. It had the head of an eagle and the body of a human. Its eyes were incomparably majestic, and its body was covered in various colors. It could be seen that there should have been a lot of gold and precious stones hanging on it, but now they were no longer on it.
The largest wave of heat came from this statue. On both sides, there were some statues of gods with the heads of beasts and the bodies of humans. Waves of heat also came from their bodies.
He looked down and said, "Did Commandant Su directly move the statues from the Divine Temple here?"
He shifted his gaze and saw a statue of a god with a letter in its raised hand. Originally, this statue was supposed to be a sitting statue with a scepter in its hand. It was supposed to be sitting on top of the temple with a solemn and dignified expression. But now, without a platform, it could only lean against the wall, which made it look rather comical.
With a thought, the letter flew over on its own. He opened it and saw Su Qian's handwriting. She said that these things were seized from a Divine Kingdom that the Brightness Camp was in charge of attacking recently. Now the two sides were still fighting. When this Divine Kingdom was completely destroyed, more antiques would be sent over.
He put away the letter and walked forward. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the tallest statue. After a while, cracks appeared on its body. Then, it collapsed and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of dust.
Then he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the energy from the remaining statues.
Half a day later, he felt the last strand of heat enter his body. Then he got up and walked out of the basement. He went back to the study.
He walked to the side of the desk and wrote a letter. Then, he called Qing Shu over and asked him to deliver it to the Academic Hall of the Academy. This was his request to the Academy as Xuan Zheng to check the files of the two lost states back then.
Li Mo suspected that the people of Shuang Continent were most likely people who were lost in the two continents. He agreed with this judgment because they clearly had the creation skills that only Tianxia could have.
And this time, when he went to inspect the "Spirit Pass", he might run into these people. He needed to understand this generation first. At least, he needed to have a clear understanding of what happened in the past.
After the application was submitted, the reaction of the Academic Hall was very fast. In just half a day, a teacher personally delivered the document to his residence.
After Zhang Yu signed his name on the document, he took the document over.
The teacher carefully said to him, "Xuan Zheng, after you read it, please destroy these documents. Do not leak them."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
He took the document back to the study and began to flip through it.
At the same time, after Li Mo left Mizar Academy, he took a flying boat back to the outpost in the Outlands.
He first circled around in the air. Seeing that the outpost was bustling with people as usual, he relaxed slightly. He steered the flying boat to the inner part of the oval-shaped building and slowly sank into it.
After the flying boat came to a stop, he opened the cabin door and walked out. But as soon as he stepped outside, he realized that something was wrong. Inside the boat, there were giants wearing crystal jade armor standing there, faintly surrounding him.
And in front of him stood a young Daoist with dark eyes and a beautiful face. He wore a dark and luxurious robe, and his long hair flowed behind him like a waterfall. His aura was particularly feminine and deep.
Li Mo's expression darkened. "Ding Ming, what are you doing?" He looked around. "Why are there so many people from Shuang Continent? Is it Daoist Ke and Daoist Quan? "
The cultivator surnamed Ding didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Daoist Li, where have you been these days?"
Li Mo looked at him and said, "Our outpost has always been free to come and go. We never restrict others. What does where I go have to do with you?"
The cultivator surnamed Ding stared at him and said, "Did you leak the matter of the 'World Gap' to others?"
Li Mo didn't try to explain. Instead, he looked around and sighed. "It seems that a lot of things have happened while I was gone."
He knew very well that the other party had publicly revealed this matter in front of so many people from Shuang Continent. It meant that he was completely on Shuang Continent's side. He was now very worried about the safety of his fellow Daoists in the outpost.
The cultivator surnamed Ding was silent for a moment and said, "Daoist Li, we've discussed this with a group of fellow Daoists. We've already decided that our outpost will be attached to Shuang Continent. What do you think?"
Li Mo frowned and looked at him, saying in a deep voice, "I don't know why you're doing this. Instead of being a proper Xuanfu cultivator, you're going to attach yourself to some unknown power? "
"Sir Li, you're wrong."
Following a clear and pleasant voice, a slender crystal giant walked over. She stood there and said condescendingly, "I believe Sir Li has already guessed our origins. Although we call ourselves Shuang Continent's people, we were originally the same as you."
Li Mo was silent for a moment. The other party had directly exposed their origins in front of him. This meant that there was no room for reconciliation. He said, "Originally the same, then what about now?"
The crimson crystal eyes of the Crystal Jade Giant flickered and said, "When the Qingyang Upper Continent abandoned us, we were no longer people of Tianxia."
Li Mo snorted. He looked around at all the crystal giants and finally at the cultivator surnamed Ding. "You're not, but I am!"
The crystal giant's voice was filled with annoyance. "Each and every one of you is so stubborn." She raised her hand and shouted, "Deal with him!"
