Zhang Yu stayed in the realm fissure for three days, and after making all the necessary arrangements, he came out and flew back to the Qingyang Upper Continent.
He still followed the Wasteland to the north. On the way, he found that the mountain range on the side of the Great Wasteland of the Qingyang Upper Continent was shining brightly at night. It was like a star belt spanning from south to north across the land.
This mountain range was first created by a cultivator with great magic power after the arrival of the Turbid Tide. Because it was incomparably sturdy and locked the Earth Vein, it played a great role in the early war.
In the past few decades, the two prefectures relied on this mountain range to create a new military defense line.
It was only because the Qingyang Upper Continent had the overall advantage against the enemy, the west side had not been threatened for a long time, so the defense of this defense line was not that tight. Now it seemed that it was because of the surprise attack of the Mythical God Tabor a few days ago, so the defense line was not that tight.
In the night, his escape light was like a meteor streaking across the sky.
When the soldiers in charge of night duty saw this scene, they knew that there was a cultivator flying through the air. Many of them could not help but feel envious.
Even though the armored soldiers were able to fly in the air, that was because they relied on their crafting skills. Furthermore, anyone who wore the armor had to have their name recorded in the two prefectures' books. Unless they were on the battlefield, no matter who it was, every time they used the profound armor outside, they had to have a proper reason and a detailed record.
If a person without merit wanted to wear armor, he had to have a reputable person as a guarantor. Moreover, if it was not in the military register, the school register, the official register, or the craftsman register, he had to pledge something else.
In addition to these, there was a series of more trivial rules and regulations for the divine robes and profound armors. It could be said that the control of the continent in this regard was very strict.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with doing this because the two prefectures were afraid that the people wearing the divine robes and profound armors would do something to seek personal gains, commit crimes, or even harm the people outside.
In comparison, cultivators could rely on their own strength to travel freely between heaven and earth. How free and unfettered was this? It was inevitable that the soldiers who were bound by countless rules would be envious.
However, at this moment, they had neglected the fact that cultivators were similarly bound by the Profound Palace's rules and Tianxia's laws. At most, they would be slightly more lenient in certain areas. Furthermore, in the dark corners that they couldn't see, there would always be some people who would be able to circumvent the rules and regulations.
Zhang Yu rode the light north under the vast night sky. When it was daybreak, he had already appeared in the sky above Ping Province. The rising sun in the east was gradually illuminating the dark blue sky. Boundless light shone on him, illuminating his entire body in a warm golden color.
Looking at the vast expanse of mountains and rivers below him, he sped up and blended into the morning light. Not long after, Mizar Academy, which was located on the plains of Gaozhou, could be seen once more.
However, this time, he was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he directly passed through the Self-Study Palace and turned to fly in the direction of Ju Province, which was further east.
This time, the first thing he wanted to do was to investigate how the Golden Bridge Cauldron was spread out. He faintly felt that if he followed this clue, he might be able to find out something.
With his current cultivation, there were many things that were inconvenient to do in the past, but now he could do them without restraint. There was no need for him to worry too much.
After another half summer, he passed through the Fu Mountain Ridge and the pearl-like lakes and entered the An Shou County. The tall pavilion of the Azure Sun Profound Palace and the sparkling island in the middle of the lake appeared in his eyes.
He approached and withdrew the escape light. As his Daoist robe fluttered, he slowly floated down from the sky.
Daoist Ming Shan had already sensed his arrival when the escape light arrived. He had come out early to welcome him. He was knowledgeable. When he saw the Qi floating on Zhang Yu's body, he could not help but reveal a dazed expression.
Only when he saw him standing still did he regain his senses. He hurriedly collected his thoughts and came up to him. He bowed respectfully and said, "Xuan Zheng is too polite. I wonder why Xuan Zheng is here?"
Zhang Yu said bluntly, "I'm here to inspect the Seal Warehouse. Is it convenient?"
Daoist Ming Shan hurriedly said, "Of course it's convenient. Xuan Zheng, please follow me."
This was a matter within his authority. As long as the rules of Xuanfu were still in place, no one could stop him, not even Xuan Shou. Daoist Ming Shan immediately brought him to the Seal Warehouse.
The Seal Warehouse was located directly below Qingyang Xuanfu. Although the structure of the continent had changed several times over the past few decades, because of the Seal Warehouse's special location, it had never been guarded by others before. Therefore, Zhang Yu had previously judged that if there was a problem with the sealed item in the Seal Warehouse, it must be from within Xuanfu.
Daoist Ming Shan led the way in front, following the jade staircase down. After passing through a few heavy doors, he finally stopped in front of a large jade door. He took out a jade pendant from his body and pressed it into the stone trough. Following the flickering of talisman lights, the large door slowly moved up.
Zhang Yu let Daoist Ming Shan wait outside while he stepped into the Seal Warehouse. When he entered, he immediately felt an evil aura. His gaze swept across. Inside the deep and wide grotto, there were large golden and bronze shelves. Almost every shelf had a shining instrument.
What was placed here were basically the evil cultivators' instruments that had been seized in the past.
Whether it was in the past or now, most of these evil cultivators were True Cultivators. Some instruments were even made with precious materials that had been passed down from Tianxia in the past. They were extremely difficult to destroy. If they had to be refined again, they would have to deal with the evil aura within. It would take a lot of effort. Therefore, Xuanfu's way of handling them was to simply seal them up and deal with them together every hundred years.
The last time they were dealt with was eighty-five years ago.
Ancestor Yuan Tong was killed by an upper-level cultivator in Xuanfu more than fifty years ago. After that, the Golden Bridge Cauldron was sealed in the Seal Warehouse. In other words, if there were no accidents, this item should have been here.
Because the instruments from a hundred years ago had been refined, there were not many instruments in the Seal Warehouse now. There were only about thirty to forty instruments. Zhang Yu checked once and found that the Golden Bridge Cauldron was indeed missing.
He took out the records of the Seal Warehouse from a hundred years ago and flipped through them. He found that the Golden Bridge Cauldron still appeared in the annual routine inspection fifty-two years ago. However, after that, it disappeared without a trace. There was no explanation for its whereabouts in the Seal Warehouse. However, the other instruments were not missing or missing. The records that should have been there were not lacking.
This situation was a little strange. He pondered for a moment. Either the whereabouts of this cauldron involved a higher level of secret, so it was not left here. Or, it was deliberately left out by someone.
He walked out of the Seal Warehouse and found Daoist Ming Shan who was waiting outside. He asked about this matter.
Daoist Ming Shan thought for a moment and said, "I was in charge of the Seal Warehouse fifty years ago. At that time, the Golden Bridge Cauldron was no longer there. Xuan Zheng, you can ask Head Xuan. Some things that are not recorded in the Seal Warehouse are only known to Head Xuan."
Zhang Yu nodded. This matter had to be clarified. He came out from the Seal Warehouse and walked into the Great Hall. He floated up and quickly landed on the highest point of the Xuanfu, the Crane Hall.
He saw that Head Xuan was still standing in front of the platform. However, his figure was more elusive than the last time. He went up and bowed, "Head Xuan greets you."
Head Xuan nodded in return and said, "I saw Xuan Zheng coming over just now. His spirit and Qi were moving and his light was shining brightly. I think Xuan Zheng's cultivation has improved again. It is worth congratulating."
Zhang Yu stood there and said, "You still have a long way to go. It is too early to congratulate you."
Head Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Xuan Zheng, why are you here?"
Zhang Yu waved his sleeve and the Golden Bridge Cauldron that he obtained from Jia Luo flew out and hung by the side. He said, "I am here for this item."
Head Xuan looked at the Golden Bridge Cauldron and said, "Ancestor Yuan Tong's Golden Bridge Cauldron? So Xuan Zheng wants to investigate this … "He pondered for a moment and said," About fifty-two years ago, someone borrowed this item from the two Manors. "
Zhang Yu asked, "How should I address this person?"
Head Xuan did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "This is the person who killed Ancestor Yuan Tong."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. The person who killed Ancestor Yuan Tong was an upper-level cultivator. Anything that involved such a cultivator would only be briefly described in the Seal Warehouse. They would not name the person. It was no wonder that Head Xuan did not mention it. He thought for a moment and said, "Then where did this senior go after that?"
Head Xuan said softly, "He is no longer in the continent."
Zhang Yu glanced at him. After all, this person was a True Cultivator and did not like to speak openly. It was the same with the matter of the Creator last time. He did not directly explain it to Zhang Yu, but from this, it could be seen that there must be another reason behind this.
However, if that person took away the Golden Bridge Cauldron, then no matter how the Golden Bridge Cauldron ended up in Jia Luo's hands, it would not be a problem in Xuanfu.
He saw that Head Xuan did not want to say much about this matter. Hence, he bid farewell and came down from the Crane Hall.
Daoist Ming Shan was waiting in the hall. When he came down, he asked, "Xuan Zheng, have you asked Head Xuan?"
Zhang Yu briefly explained Head Xuan Zheng's answer. He then asked, "Daoist Ming Shan, you have followed Head Xuan for a long time. You should know more about the matters in Xuanfu. Do you know if this senior has any disciples?"
Daoist Ming Shan thought for a moment and said, "That person … has a disciple …" He hesitated for a moment and said, "After that person left, Head Xuan Zheng taught his disciple for a period of time. Later on, he seemed to have made some mistakes. He was punished by Head Xuan Zheng and left Xuanfu. Later on, it was said that he went to the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm. If Xuan Zheng wants to find this person, I am afraid that you will have to go to the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly. He nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me."
Daoist Ming Shan looked at him and asked hesitantly, "I wonder why Xuan Zheng came down?"
Zhang Yu raised his head and looked at the distant sky. He said, "In these sixty years, Xuanfu's power has been scattered everywhere. Now, it is time to gather them." When he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves. In an instant, a green rainbow surrounded by jade mist soared and rushed into the sky!
On the island in the middle of the lake, Daoist Ming Shan stood there and looked at the escaping light. He bowed from afar. After a long time, he returned to the main hall.
