After coming out of Xuanfu, Zhang Yu flew all the way south. According to the location provided by Yun Chen, he had roughly determined the range of the place of suppression.
After searching for half a day, he came to a low mound, then took out a talisman decree that he had obtained from Yun Chen and raised it into the sky.
The talisman decree moved without any wind and floated into the distance. He also rode the wind and followed.
After flying for about a hundred miles, the talisman decree sank down, but it did not fall on the ground. Instead, it directly penetrated through it.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and knew that it should be because of the concealment of the Formation. He also pressed down on his flying light and passed through the ground, entering a place full of evil Qi.
Red and black baleful auras surged like a surging river. However, there was also a black and purple aura that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
He walked along the stone platform that was suspended above the abyss. Not long after, he reached the end of the stone platform. In front of him was a vast and empty cave that he couldn't see the top and bottom of.
In front of him, a large jade plate was suspended, and a figure wrapped in evil Qi was wrapped in chains. It was undoubtedly the corpse of Ancestor Yuan Tong.
He felt the evil Qi on both sides. It was indeed powerful, but it was just the Qi released after the death of Ancestor Yuan Tong.
According to Yun Chen, Ancestor Yuan Tong's corpse was imprisoned here because he was afraid that the evil Qi would pollute the entire Earth Continent. Now, it seemed that this was not an exaggeration.
However, he did not believe that the almighty who had killed Ancestor Yuan Tong could not deal with a corpse. The most likely thing was that he had to pay a price, so he used the most labor-saving method.
But looking at the back, Bai Xiu seemed to have used the corpse several times. This was more likely a backup plan that the almighty deliberately left for his disciple.
Today, he came here to take a look. If there was anything that could be used here, then he would eliminate it so that it would not be used again.
He soared into the air and flew towards the direction of the large jade plate. The closer he got, the more he could feel the ferocious fiendish energy.
The man's head was lowered. The skin and flesh of the corpse were almost tightly wrapped around the bones, but this was not a sign of decay. Instead, the corpse had automatically reduced the necessary consumption of energy to maintain its body.
In fact, from his point of view, even if this person let go of the consumption, it might not be able to dissipate completely even after thousands of years. However, after losing its life, or rather, losing enough self-awareness, its body still did so.
It was clear that Patriarch Yuan Tong had branded the will that maintained his existence into the depths of his foundation.
From the looks of it, the murderous aura that was being emitted was merely the aftermath of his true power.
It was hard to imagine how powerful this body was.
In fact, this was normal. Since cultivators at this level had the ability to overturn continents, they must have a body that could bear this power.
Although some people with frail bodies seemed to be able to use tricks to exert great power, that was obviously not what cultivators pursued.
Daoist cultivators sought eternal solidity and transcendence from all things.
When he thought of this, he unconsciously understood something and stood there motionlessly.
After a while, when he came back to his senses, he found that his aura had slightly increased.
This was obviously because he had been constantly reading the books given by Zhu Xuan these days. Now that he had comprehended something, it pushed his cultivation base to improve.
This was an unexpected gain.
He collected his aura and looked around again. He only found a magic tool that was used to divide the murderous aura above the jade plate, but it was obviously also used to suppress it.
Apart from that, there were no other special circumstances. If this place could be used again, then it would be of an even higher level of power. This was not something he could stop at the moment, so he did not stay here for long. He came out of the cave, identified the direction, and headed towards the spirit pass.
Half a summer later, he entered the spirit pass through the lake mist in the rift valley.
The scenery here had not changed at all, but huts were erected on both sides of the entrance and exit of the cave. There were also two disciples guarding it. It was obviously set up by Fan Lan and Qi Wu.
Seeing him walk in, the two disciples on duty hurriedly bowed respectfully. Then, they used the light transmission set up by Wu Ze to pass the message inside.
After Zhang Yu asked a few questions, he walked inside. After a while, he came to the newly built Lu Palace in the Spirit Pass Valley. Fan Lan and Qi Wu were already waiting here.
After greeting him outside, the two welcomed him into the Lu Palace and sat down.
Zhang Yu said, "I came this time to tell you two senior brothers that now the disaster in the region has been eliminated by me and a group of people. Even if the location of the spirit pass is leaked, it won't be a big problem. You two senior brothers don't have to stay here anymore. You can freely go inside and outside the continent."
Qi Wu said, "Junior Brother Zhang, what if we return to the East Court?"
Zhang Yu said, "Of course."
Fan Lan thought for a while and said, "When we first came to the Qingyang Upper Continent, we said that we would return in two years. Now that we've come out, it's been more than three years. We really should go back and take a look."
Qi Wu sighed, "It's been so many years. I wonder how you're doing."
Zhang Yu said, "If you two senior brothers decide when to return, I can make arrangements for you. Now that it's convenient to travel to and from the East Court, the journey won't be as long as when we came."
Fan Lan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Brother Fan is too polite."
Qi Wu then said, "Junior Brother, how long will you stay here this time?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and asked, "Is there something you need, Senior Brother Qi?"
Qi Wu said, "It's not a big deal. Junior Martial Brother Zhang's current cultivation is profound. After Junior Martial Brother gave Yan Yuming and Zheng Yu some pointers last time, they really benefited a lot. If Junior Martial Brother isn't in a hurry, we would like to invite Junior Martial Brother Zhang to preach to the disciples here."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and nodded. "That's fine. There's nothing important in the continent right now. I'll stay here for a while."
Fan Lan cupped his hands and said, "I thank you on behalf of the disciples."
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Brother Fan, there's no need to say that. I'm a member of the East Court's Xuanfu. I should take care of these disciples."
He sat in the Lu Palace for half a day, telling Fan Lan and Qi Wu about the continent's current affairs. Then, he left the palace and walked toward a certain part of the valley.
Wu Ze's airship was still there. This master craftsman usually didn't interact much with the people around him, so the airship's surroundings were very quiet.
When he got close, the cabin door opened on its own. He walked all the way inside. Wu Ze was standing there to welcome him. "Zhang Xuanzheng, what are you building this time?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Elder Wu, you can go back now."
Wu Ze was startled. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Xuanzheng said …"
Zhang Yu said, "I've already had the two manors revoke the arrest warrant for Elder Wu."
Wu Ze looked at him and reached out with a trembling hand. He took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes with a cloth. He put them back on and asked, "I can go home now?"
Zhang Yu said slowly, "Yes, Elder Wu, you can go home now. Elder Wu's children and grandchildren are waiting for you at home. They're all well."
Wu Ze knew what he meant. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu. He said sincerely, "Zhang Xuanzheng, thank you."
Zhang Yu nodded. He didn't stay here for long. After a bow, he turned and walked out. When he got out of the airship, he was welcomed by a cool breeze. He stood there for a moment. Then, he left the place and returned to the residence Fan Lan gave him.
He entered the inner room and adjusted his breathing. Then, he took out a jade scroll. His mind's light spun inside. Instantly, a picture illuminated by light appeared. There were many words and annotations on both sides.
This was the "Hatred and Forgiveness" visualization diagram he obtained from the Wu Institution.
Wu Ziwu used this visualization diagram to enter the Mysterious Spirit Realm and kill Daoist Yin of the Tibetan Mountain Range in a head-on battle.
In order for Zhang Yu's Dark Chaotic Cicada Visualization Diagram to reach the realm of reincarnation, it had to be constantly perfected. In addition to continuous cultivation, reading and studying some of the seals that could be used as supplements was also a way.
The Hatred and Forgiveness visualization diagram didn't have much value to him. At most, it could broaden his horizons. However, if he wanted to refine any visualization diagram, he needed to cultivate some necessary seals.
When he first cultivated the Mysterious Cicada Visualization Diagram, he had read a total of sixty-three seals.
This visualization diagram required forty-two seals to complete. Among them, there were some seals from the fourth book that he might be able to use.
After looking carefully, his gaze fell on a "Void" seal. It was unremarkable among all the seals, but it could allow cultivators to stop for a moment in the spatial layer.
His "Ruler Step Heavenly Void" technique used the spatial layer to travel back and forth. This seal was clearly useful to him. However, he didn't immediately read it. Instead, he firmly memorized it.
Now that he wanted to reach a higher realm, he needed even more divine essence.
Although he could absorb energy from elsewhere to replenish it, with his foundation, the amount of divine essence he needed to break through to the upper realm would be enormous.
And now, if it wasn't extremely useful or rare, there was no need to immediately read it.
Thus, he only kept these seals as backup for now. In the future, he might have the opportunity to obtain even better seals.
Moreover, in the current Qingyang Upper Continent, as long as there were no higher realm cultivators, he could rely on his current strength to deal with them. There was no need to be so anxious.
After looking through the seals one by one, he realized that apart from Pao Kong, the rest of the seals were nothing to him. This was because the visualization diagram worked by combining all the seals into one place. If they were taken apart, most of the seals didn't have much power or effect.
He put away this jade slip and took out another one. This one recorded Zhe Yi's visualization diagram.
Compared to Yan Shu's top grade visualization diagram, this guy's visualization diagram seemed bloated and messy. He looked through it, imprinted some of the seals he thought were valuable, and then put it away.
