After Zhang Yu finished dealing with the matters of the end of the year in Mizar Academy, he began to think about his future path of cultivation.
Xuanxiu was known as an Inferior Cultivator when he was in the first and second chapters. Cultivators in the third to fourth chapters were known as Intermediate Cultivators.
From the perspective of cultivators, this could be said to be the difference in cultivation level and even the difference in life level.
The first and second chapters were enlightened by the light of the heart to the use of cultivation. From then on, they were different from mortals. When it came to the third and fourth chapters, the power of the heart could interfere with external objects and produce all kinds of unimaginable changes.
From an ordinary person's point of view, it was purely based on the upper and lower limits of a cultivator's destructive power in a war. This could be considered a rather rough division.
The reason for this was because cultivators were different from each other. The difference between them was sometimes even greater than the difference between mortals and cultivators.
Although Zhang Yu's current abilities were far superior to those of his generation, no matter how one judged him, he should still be classified as an Intermediate Cultivator. From what he knew, this was also very reasonable.
After reaching the fourth chapter, although his cultivation level was much higher than when he was in the third chapter, in reality, there was no difference in essence.
Cultivators in the fourth chapter were the same as in the third chapter. They still needed to cultivate the visualization diagram.
However, from the third to the fourth chapter, the visualization diagram of cultivators walked the path of "turning falsehood into reality". The Dao of the fourth chapter was the path of "turning death into life".
However, "turning falsehood into reality" was only turning the visualization diagram from illusion into reality. "Turning death into life" was turning the visualization diagram into a real living creature.
For example, Daoist Wanming had already cultivated to the peak of the fourth chapter. If he took another step forward, he would be able to turn the Wanming Insect into a living creature that existed in the real world.
However, visualization diagrams were different from each other. Some visualization diagrams only had eight or nine seals when they were completed. The power naturally couldn't be compared to a visualization diagram that was transformed from ten or even dozens of seals.
But this was only the difference in fighting. Both sides were at the same level. Before the final transformation was completed, they were completely the same in terms of life level.
According to Xuanfu's Taoist book, what he needed to do now was to continue perfecting the visualization diagram, from death to life, until it transformed.
However, as for how to complete this transformation, the Profound Palace did not have a specific description.
He had a conversation with Daoist Wan Ming about this. Daoist Wan Ming said that he also followed these steps to perfect the visualization diagram. However, he always felt that there was something missing in the visualization diagram, so he couldn't complete the transformation of life and death. Therefore, he was now looking for a way forward.
He thought about it and decided that he could ask Zhu Xuan Shou for advice. However, he would have to wait until Zhu Xuan Shou came out of his isolated cultivation. Even if he could not find an answer from Zhu Xuan Shou, he still had the Gap of World with him. He could try to communicate with the other continents.
Two days later, when he saw that the appointed time with Daoist Xing Chuan was approaching, he once again set off for the Foreign Lands.
This time, he still took the flying boat for his journey.
He knew very well that the flying boat built by the two prefectures would most likely be tampered with. As long as he sat in the flying boat, no matter where he went, his whereabouts might be tracked by the two prefectures.
However, this was his intention.
He was not afraid of some people coming to find him. He was afraid that this person would not make a move. Compared to those who jumped out, those who hid behind were the most troublesome.
When he arrived at the Fangtai Daoist Sect's encampment, he found that Daoist Xing Chuan was already waiting there. When he saw Zhang Xuanzheng, he raised his hand and said straightforwardly, "Zhang Xuanzheng, I have invited him here."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "May I know where he is?"
Daoist Xing Chuan said, "Xuanzheng, please follow me." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out.
Zhang Yu followed Xing Chuan out of the room. When he saw Xing Chuan leaping into the sky, a thought flashed through his mind and he also leaped into the air and followed him. Not long after, Xing Chuan landed in front of an inconspicuous cave.
Zhang Yu also floated down and followed him into the cave. He saw a stone bed with a middle-aged cultivator half-sitting on it. From the looks of it, it was Lin Xuansheng. However, this person's entire body was covered in talismans. It was obvious that he had been sealed here. He glanced at Xing Chuan. This method of 'inviting' him in was quite unique.
Daoist Xing Chuan did not look embarrassed at all and said, "I asked Daoist Lin to help me deal with the Shuang Island, but he was unwilling to come and made all kinds of excuses. It is natural for us, the Tianxia Xuanxiu, to deal with the Foreign Lands, so how could he refuse? Therefore, I captured him. "
Zhang Yu looked at Lin Xuansheng and said, "Daoist Lin, did Daoist Lin send that map of the Shuang Island?"
Lin Xuansheng did not deny it and said with a wry smile, "If I had known, I wouldn't have sent this map." He did not scold Daoist Xing Chuan because the latter's way of doing things had always been on the surface. His reasons were also open and aboveboard, so it was hard to hate him.
Zhang Yu flicked his sleeve and removed all the talismans on Daoist Xing Chuan.
Lin Xuansheng came down from the stone bed and raised his hands to greet Zhang Yu, but he did not try to escape.
He knew very well that he could not escape in front of Zhang Yu. He was also present when Zhang Yu showed off his invincible might that day, but he was afraid that other cultivators would notice, so he hid far away.
Zhang Yu said, "I am looking for Daoist Lin because I know you are familiar with the Shuang Island, so I want to ask you some questions. However, before that, I have a question to ask you."
Lin Xuansheng looked at him and said, "What does Xuan Zheng want to ask?"
Zhang Yu said, "Is the destruction of the Scour Cloud and Victory Grounds related to Daoist Lin?"
Lin Xuansheng was startled, obviously not expecting Zhang Yu to ask about this.
When Daoist Xing Chuan heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp as he looked at Lin Xuansheng.
Lin Xuansheng lowered his head and only spoke after a while, "The destruction of these two sects is indeed related to me, but I did not participate in it, nor did I have such thoughts."
Zhang Yu said, "Then what is the reason?"
Lin Xuansheng was silent for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a decision. He looked up and said, "Xuan Zheng must have heard that I have been in contact with the people of the Shuang Island for some time. In fact, this is not the case. The truth is that I was originally a person under the rule of the Shuang Island, but it was the people of the Shuang Island who sent me to the foreign lands to learn Dao."
When Daoist Xing Chuan heard this, his expression suddenly became serious and the light on his body surged.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand, motioning him not to act rashly. He said, "Daoist Xing Chuan, let Daoist Lin finish speaking first, then we can discuss whether he is wrong or not."
Lin Xuansheng looked at the two and said, "At that time, the Shuang Island sent many people like me to learn Dao, but in the end, I was the only one who really succeeded. In order to erase the traces I left behind, the people of the Shuang Island destroyed the Victory Grounds Sect, and later chose the Scour Cloud Sect, perhaps this was the reason."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What is the purpose of the Shuang Island sending you to the foreign lands to learn Dao?"
Lin Xuansheng shook his head and said, "I never knew the real purpose of the people of the Shuang Island, but I guess it was to control the foreign lands, but this plan did not succeed in the end." At this time, he showed a trace of disgust. "I don't like the people of the Shuang Island, and I don't like that place, there is a group of monsters who look human on the surface, but their minds are seriously twisted."
Daoist Xing Chuan stared at him and asked, "Lin Xuansheng, I only ask you one question, are you from the Shuang Island?"
Lin Xuansheng looked up, and said slowly and firmly, "I am not."
Zhang Yu could see that Lin Xuansheng was actually hiding a lot of things, and there were many things that were difficult to explain, but he did not care about this, as long as he was willing to deal with the people of the Shuang Island, the rest was trivial, and there was no need to investigate now.
From the actions of killing the commander of the Shuang Island, and secretly sending the map, this person was indeed very hostile to the people of the Shuang Island, at least in this aspect, they could reach an agreement.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you come back to the station with me, to deal with the people of the Shuang Island, I will need your help."
Lin Xuansheng also knew that there was no choice at this time, he slowly raised his hand and said, "I am willing to listen to Xuan Zheng's orders."
Daoist Xing Chuan also stepped forward at this time, and said loudly, "Count me in!"
Zhang Yu nodded, and after a few more words with Lin Xuansheng, he brought him and Daoist Xing Chuan back to the station. In the following days, he began to ask Lin Xuansheng about the situation of the Shuang Island, and according to his words, roughly came up with a plan to deal with the people of the Shuang Island.
But according to Lin Xuansheng, he had not returned to the Shuang Island for more than twenty years, but he still had contact with the people of the Shuang Island, so he could not accurately describe the current situation of the Shuang Island, and needed to investigate here first.
Fortunately, the location of the Shuang Island had been confirmed, and the next thing was relatively simple.
Zhang Yu stayed in the outer region until the end of the month, and calculated that the day when Zhu Xuanshou would come out of seclusion was near, so he handed over the matters of the outer region to Daoist Wan Ming, and took the flying boat back to Qingyang.
After arriving in the island, he stopped the flying boat at Wei County, and flew towards Xuanfu. When the flying light landed in front of the island in the middle of the lake, Daoist Ming Shan came up to him and said, "Xuan Zheng, Zhu Xuanshou has come out of seclusion, and is waiting for Xuan Zheng in the Crane Hall."
Zhang Yu nodded, stepped into the pavilion, and floated towards the Crane Hall, and saw that Zhu Xuanshou was standing there, and came up to greet him.
Zhu Xuanshou nodded in return.
After greeting each other, the two sat on the praying mat, and Zhu Xuanshou said, "I heard that Xuan Zheng wanted to see me after returning last time, what is the matter?"
Zhang Yu originally wanted to ask about Lord Bai Xiu, but he thought about it carefully, and now that he knew this person's identity, there was no need to say anything more, and he could do whatever he wanted in the future. As Xuan Zheng, this was something within his authority, and if he dragged Zhu Xuanshou into this, it would make things more complicated.
So he simply put this matter aside, and said, "I am here today to ask Xuan Zheng, after we have read the fourth chapter of the Xuanxiu Temple, where should we find the path to ascend?"
