Three days later, Zhang Yu received Tao Dingfu's letter. There were no greetings in the letter, but it mentioned the method of combining three elements. It also reminded him that Master Bai Xiu had probably cultivated the "Inner and Outer Illumination" and warned him to be careful in this battle.
This was the first time he had heard of such a method. From the contents of the letter, the so-called "Inner and Outer Illumination" actually meant that "one's Dao heart has been set, and one's Dao seeking is already clear."
To put it simply, it was actually a cultivator who understood and determined the path he should take. Thus, the inner and outer paths were connected, the divine Qi blended, and all Daos were clear.
This seemed easy, but it was extremely difficult to actually do it.
Because the path of cultivation was extremely bumpy, no one knew what they would encounter in the future, let alone what choice they would make. If they encountered any obstacles on the path of cultivation, they would try to find other ways to take a detour.
And once you set your own Dao, there was no changing it. No matter how difficult it was, you had to follow it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to move forward in the future.
According to Tao Dingfu's letter, the person who obtained the "Inner Illumination" might not necessarily improve their cultivation, but the circulation of their Qi and will was incomparably smooth and firm.
If two cultivators with similar cultivation were to fight, it would depend on who could grasp the opportunity better and who made fewer mistakes. If there was no obstruction in the circulation of Qi and magic, it would obviously be more advantageous.
After Zhang Yu finished reading, he put down the letter.
This letter came at the right time and was of great help to him. If he knew in advance, he could be one step ahead of time and not have to think of a way to deal with it during the battle.
Although it was very likely that Master Bai Xiu had already mastered the "Inner and Outer Illumination", he was not very worried. Because if Master Bai Xiu thought that his strength was enough to suppress him, he would not have waited so long to send the letter of challenge. It could be seen that although this method could improve one's fighting ability, it was not too great.
But at this moment, he faintly felt that this method seemed to be of some help to him.
The cultivation method of Xuanxiu was very different from that of Zhenxiu, but they were very similar in some aspects. In particular, the Art of Three Elements Fusion was not a supernatural power or Taoist technique, nor was it a cultivation method. It was just a kind of pure cultivation. It was like polishing an originally rough stone into a flawless jade. It was just a process of self-perfection.
He thought for a while. No matter what, there was no need to think so much now. He just had to do what he could do first.
There were still fifteen days until the battle. He came down to put aside all external affairs and properly mediate. However, there were still some things that needed to be arranged in advance.
He told the cultivator outside: "Call fellow Dao seeker Wen and fellow Dao seeker Shi in"
Not long after, Wen Liang and Shi Yue walked in together and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu said, "I'm going to meet Master Bai Xiu next month. I need to cultivate in seclusion for the next few days to prepare for this battle. I'll leave the external affairs here to the two of you for the time being. You can handle some minor matters as usual. If Fellow Daoist Wan Ming has any unusual news, the two of you must respond in time."
Shi Yue and Wen Liang both said solemnly, "We'll remember."
Zhang Yu gave some more instructions and let the two of them go.
He expected that even if the people behind the scenes made a move, they wouldn't jump out at this time. They should be waiting silently to see the result of this battle.
After sitting for a while, he walked out of the inner room. Then, he rose into the air and flew toward the southwest of Liangzhou.
There was a majestic mountain range here called Qiu Mountain. Its main peak was steep and tall, and it could even touch a branch of the great banyan tree. This was also the outermost area of the southwest border of Qingyang Upper Continent.
After flying for less than a moment, he saw the towering mountain peak. Then, he went up along the mountain wall. After a while, he reached the peak and then slowly landed here.
Standing here, he looked up and saw a green branch that stretched for thousands of miles. It seemed to be right in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel the exuberant vitality coming from the branch.
If it was purely for cultivation, this was not a good place because the divine power attached to the great banyan tree was too strong. Cultivators would be disturbed by it.
However, he was just adjusting his breath, so there was no hindrance. On the contrary, there were some benefits. After all, the original intention of the great banyan tree was to protect the living beings in the continent.
He withdrew his gaze, flicked his sleeve, and swept away the dust and gravel here. Then, he sat down and entered a state of meditation. Soon, everything around him was silent.
In a secret station on an island in the outer sea, an old man with a crutch walked into a workshop with a report in his hand. There was a glass cabin on a metal platform, and a humanoid object was suspended inside.
In front of the glass cabin, a silver-bearded old man who looked smart and hale was fiercely discussing something with Master Craftsman Han. Their voices were sometimes high and sometimes low. It seemed that there was a disagreement because of something.
After a while, the two of them noticed the arrival of the old man with a crutch.
The silver-bearded old man stopped the argument at the right time. He tidied his clothes and said, "What's the matter, Systems Department?"
The old man with a crutch said in a deep voice, "Master Craftsman Jin, Old Han, Bai Xiu has sent a letter of challenge. He has agreed to fight with Zhang Yu above the East Sea on the first day of the ninth lunar month."
Master Craftsman Jin thought for a while and said, "So after the first day of the ninth lunar month, we can work in peace?"
The old man with a crutch shook his head and said, "That's not what I want to say." He looked at the two of them and said, "Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
Master Craftsman Jin thought for a while and said, "You want to collect more records? From these two people? "
The old man with a crutch tapped the hard metal floor with his crutch. He was in high spirits and said with a hint of excitement, "That's right. Think about it, when the time comes, these two people will definitely display all kinds of Dao techniques and abilities that are usually hard to see. We can observe them and find their weaknesses and strengths to make up for what we lack in this place.
From the information we have so far, Zhang Yu can be said to be the number one among the new Dao cultivators in the Qingyang Upper Continent. As for Master Bai Xiu, he is also unmatched among the old Dao cultivators. As long as we can observe their battle from a close distance, it will be very beneficial to our next plan. "
Master Craftsman Jin said doubtfully, "But that Bai Xiu seems to be our ally? Isn't it a little bad to do that? Won't it make him feel disgusted? "
The old man with a crutch said indifferently, "So what? We don't want to do anything to him. We just want to achieve our goal better. Isn't it fine as long as he doesn't notice? Even if he does, as long as he still needs us, there won't be any problems. "
Master Craftsman Jin said calmly, "An opportunity is indeed an opportunity, but have you thought about how we are going to observe the battle between these two people? How can we ensure that what we get is accurate?
The changes in the Dao techniques of cultivators are mysterious. Even other Dao cultivators might not be able to understand it, let alone us who only have armor-clad creators. "
The old man with a crutch said, "This is a problem. I've thought of some methods, but they won't work. So I came to find the two of you. Do you have any ideas?"
Master Craftsman Han said, "What if we use the ancient EsGod?"
He raised his head and looked at the old man with a crutch. He said in a deep voice, "Don't you have the divine eye of the ancient EsGod? What if we use this thing? "
Master Craftsman Jin and the old man with a crutch both had a thoughtful expression.
Master Craftsman Jin was the first to speak. "Institute, I think we can give it a try. We don't have to think about doing it all at once. Let's use the Divine Eye to record this battle and then think of a way to slowly investigate the changes that occurred."
The old man with the crutch said slowly, "It's indeed worth a try. But if it's a divine eye, it's too big … How to put it nearby is a problem. We only know that these two people will fight in the East Sea, but we don't know the specific location.
Moreover, all cultivators with great strength have a strange sensing ability. Once they sense something, it's very likely that they'll destroy it first. "
Master Craftsman Jin said, "Design, we won't be the only ones watching the battle. We can let some of the larger creations carry this thing to conceal its existence."
The old man with a crutch said, "Alright, I'll go and make some arrangements. When I have the results, I'll come and find the two of you. There's still half a month before the battle. We still have enough time to make arrangements."
In front of the Fengxiang Ridge Daoist Temple, a Daoist child was sweeping the fallen leaves. At this moment, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He couldn't help but pause and look up.
He saw wisps of smoke rising from the stone niche on the left. In the end, these wisps of smoke condensed into the figure of a Daoist, but his face was a little blurry.
He hurriedly threw away the thing in his hand and knelt on the ground. He said, "Greetings, Grandmaster."
Master Baixiu looked down and said, "You're my disciple, Gongsun Min's disciple?"
The Daoist child respectfully replied, "Yes."
Master Baixiu took a look and nodded. "Diligent and honest. You're good enough to inherit the Dao. Go and call Tang Feng over."
The Daoist child responded and hurriedly ran into the Daoist temple. After a while, Tang Feng quickly walked over and came close. He bowed and said, "Master, I'm here. Do you have any instructions for me?"
Bai Xiu Shangren said, "Recently, I suddenly feel that my mood is strange. I feel that there might be a variable in this battle. I have thought about it over and over again, and this variable might be outside. When the time comes, there might be someone who will step in to stop me.
In order to be safe, take my token and go to the Desolate Cave. Take that 'Lightless Flying Blade' and when I'm fighting with Zhang Yu, take that blade and stand guard at the side. Don't let anyone get close to you to ensure your safety. "
Tang Feng said, "Yes, Master." He hesitated for a moment. "But if I take this blade and can't separate the baleful aura, will Great Ancestor Yuan Tong's corpse be unable to suppress it?"
Master Baixiu said, "It's fine. This blade has been sealed by your Grandmaster. After sixty days, it will fly back. Moreover, the strand of spirit left behind by Great Ancestor Yuan Tong has been killed. He won't be able to cause trouble anymore. Just take it without worry."
Tang Feng bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
