As soon as Zhang Yu was covered by the light, he felt that he was once again separated from his original world. A long path made of light appeared in front of him, extending all the way into the clouds.
He walked forward. It was a very long path, but after a few steps, he entered a small tea garden. There were colorful tea trees all around.
A young Daoist with handsome features and jade-like skin sat on a praying mat.
He wore a wide Daoist robe, and his hair was combed into a bun. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yu. Then, he slowly stood up from his seat and bowed to him, saying, "Zhang Xuanzheng greets you. Today, I am here on Xuanting's orders. I have some questions for you."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Envoy greets you."
The young Daoist smiled and pointed at him with his horsetail whisk, saying, "Zhang Xuanzheng, please take a seat."
Zhang Yu thanked him and sat down on the praying mat opposite him.
The young Daoist said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, you've eliminated the traitors this time and protected the continent. Xuan Court has decided to give you an additional reward. However, I would like to ask, does Xuanzheng plan to continue staying in Azure Sun, or do you want to take up a position elsewhere?"
When Zhang Yu received Meng Mingzhen's hint, he already had some thoughts in his mind. However, he did not directly voice his thoughts. Instead, he said, "I have a few questions in my mind. I wonder if I can ask you?"
The young Daoist smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course. I am here today not only to ask you questions, but also to answer your questions. If Zhang Xuanzheng has any questions, you can ask me."
Zhang Yu did not stand on ceremony and said directly, "As a Daoist cultivator, my greatest dream is to reach the upper realm.
However, I've heard that if we Xuan cultivators wish to advance to the next level of cultivation, we'll need a few seals. However, these seals can only be bestowed once every thirty years, and each time, only three seals will be bestowed. Only those who have made great contributions will be bestowed with these seals.
And if Your Majesty wants to take these seals, how should I choose the way down? Does Your Majesty have any suggestions? "
The young Daoist smiled and said, "Since Zhang Xuanzheng asked me about this, let me ask you something first. Do you think Xuanting is too harsh on him for making such an arrangement?"
Zhang Yu said frankly, "This is not something I can comment on right now. If I look from the bottom up, Xuanting is somewhat unfair. But if I stand above Xuanting and look down, I'm afraid I'll reach a different conclusion."
The young Daoist nodded and said, "Then let me ask you another question. Is Xuan Zheng pursuing the Great Dao? Or is it just breaking through the limits at hand? "
Zhang Yu said without hesitation, "Of course it's the Great Dao!"
The young Daoist nodded and said seriously, "If Zhang Xuanzheng is pursuing the Great Dao, I won't say that Zhang Xuanzheng has chosen this path."
Zhang Yu raised his head to look at him and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, why is this place here?"
The young Daoist waved his horsetail whisk and said, "The Xuan Dao lineage has risen for less than four hundred years. In this period of time, there are only a few people who have entered the Dao through the Xuan Dao and achieved the position of Xuan Zun. Now, all the seals that lead to the upper level of the Xuan Dao are in the hands of these few people.
The seals that are given every thirty years are actually all from these few people.
And if you obtain their teachings, you must walk their Dao.
But you have to know that every Dao cultivator walks a different Dao. If you use other people's Dao to achieve the Dao, you'll have abandoned your own Dao. The best case scenario is to become like others. At that time, you'll easily lose yourself and you won't be able to pursue the Great Dao. "
At this point, he smiled faintly, "Although there's no lack of people who surpass their masters, how can you transcend the difficult Dao if you have to borrow other people's Dao to walk the relatively easy Dao path? That's impossible. "
When Zhang Yu heard this, he finally understood the real reason. He asked, "In other words, if we want to climb up, if we don't use these few Dao techniques, we won't be able to follow any old Dao techniques?"
The young Daoist nodded and said, "That's right. The reason why the Dao of True Dao can lead to the Great Dao is because of the accumulation of experience and wisdom of countless ancestors. It's not something that can be achieved overnight. Xuan Dao is in the ascendant. You're not the successors of the younger generation, but the pioneers.
If Zhang Xuanzheng wants to pursue the Great Dao, there's no Dao that can be pursued. He can only rely on himself to open up the Dao path.
Xuanting does have some high-grade seals. These seals aren't given to those who seek to reach the upper level, but they're specially given to those who open up the Dao. The few people in the past also received such a gift.
However, there are only a few of these seals left. I don't know how many are left and when they'll be given out. "
Zhang Xuanzheng pondered and realized that the young Daoist's words seemed to have overlooked something.
Xuan Dao's lineage was Xuan and Hundun, but the young Daoist only talked about Xuan Dao. He didn't mention anything about Monk Hunjang.
However, the Dao that was placed in the Azure Sun Wheel and the existence that fought with Zhu Xuanzheng were all related to Hundun. It was obvious that Hundun's weight was not light.
Therefore, he asked, "May I ask, among the Xuanting, are there any Xuan Zun who pursued Hundun to achieve success?"
The young Daoist smiled faintly and said, "Of course there are. However, most of those Mystic Sovereigns cultivated True Techniques before switching to Pure Chapters. Although they are called Mystic Cultivators, they use True Techniques as their starting point. Therefore, regardless of their thoughts and Dao intent, they are very different from cultivators who use Profound Techniques as their starting point.
When cultivators pursue Hundun, it seems that Xuan Dao is easier to cross the Great Dao. However, if they're not careful, they'll be contaminated by the Great Chaos. Especially when most of these people have unstable foundations and are trying to take shortcuts. Let me ask you, if you can't achieve success on the Righteous Dao, what more on this Dao?
In the past few hundred years, there were countless cultivators who wanted to achieve success on this Dao. However, most of them turned into Chaos monsters while some were suppressed. Among them, most of them were Xuanxiu. "
Zhang Yu understood that the contamination of the Great Chaos was caused by insufficient Divine Vitality. If he had enough Divine Vitality, it wouldn't be a problem. However, Hundun was rather disorderly. If he could, he would rather use Xuan Dao to achieve a breakthrough.
However, just as the young Daoist said, Xuan Dao needed to be communicated with a group of fellow Daoists. It seemed like his previous decision was correct.
The young Daoist saw that he was in deep thought and smiled, "After saying so much, have you made a decision? In fact, with Zhang Xuanzheng's talent and previous achievements, if he wants to become a disciple of any Xuan Zun, I can personally recommend him. However, whether or not he'll be valued by any Xuan Zun, it's all up to Zhang Xuanzheng.
If Zhang Xuanzheng isn't willing and wants to stay in Azure Sun or take up a post in other continents, I'll know. After I return, I'll report to Xuanting and make the appropriate arrangements. "
Zhang Yu already had a plan in his mind. He looked up and said, "I'll go to the outer layer. Can I go there?"
The young Daoist nodded and said, "Not to mention Zhang Xuanzheng's achievements, even if an ordinary cultivator wants to go to the outer layer, we have no reason to stop him."
He smiled and said, "I already know Zhang Xuanzheng's intention. I think this is the best choice. It'll be beneficial for both Xuanting and Zhang Xuanzheng."
He stood up and waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, "I'll report Zhang Xuanzheng's request to Xuanting. Zhang Xuanzheng, please go back and wait for Xuanting's edict."
As he said this, the surrounding light began to disperse gradually until it disappeared.
Zhang Yu felt his senses returning to him. He realized that he was still standing on the main road behind the Inspection Department. It was as if he had never moved from his original position. The only difference was that there was a scroll floating in front of him, glowing with light.
He understood that this was the Xuanting's reward that the young Daoist mentioned. He reached out and took it, then turned around and returned to the inner hall.
He sat down behind the table and opened the scroll. As soon as he flattened it, he saw a ray of light rushing up. Then, several items appeared from the scroll.
He tried to inspect them. There were a total of five items. There were more items than when he was bestowed the title of Xuanzheng.
These items were three drops of "Spiritual Jade Dew", a set of "Heavenly Jade Garments", four "World Repelling Pills", a "Crimson Purple Jade Horn Dendrobium", and a "Star Square Hut".
He looked through the items one by one. He found that they were all extremely useful.
As long as one or two drops of "Spiritual Jade Dew" were sprinkled on plants and stones, they would be transformed into spirits that could be used by Daoists.
In ancient Xia, when cultivators roamed the world, there was no one by their side to command them. Many people relied on this Jade Dew to enlighten and enlighten the wood and stones that were within reach of their hands, making them work for them. However, there were only three drops of this thing, so they could only use it sparingly.
The Heavenly Jade Garments was a large cloak. It had the ability to defend against external forces and conceal the owner's own Qi.
In his opinion, not to mention its defensive ability, just its ability to conceal Qi was already very useful.
In battle, Daoists could determine the opponent's Qi through the method of determining the opponent's strength and mana consumption.
In particular, in a battle between two people with similar levels of cultivation, both sides would use all their energy to deal with the opponent, so it was very difficult for them to conceal their true situation. However, with this item, it would be easy to hide from the opponent.
After looking through these two items, his gaze landed on the four glowing treasured pills.
These were the World Repelling Pills. They were the Earth Repelling, Water Repelling, Fire Repelling, and Wind Repelling. Cultivators could carry these four pills on their person, and they would naturally be able to resist the powers of earth, fire, wind, and water. They could be used to go to some dangerous places.
As for the Crimson Purple Jade Horn Dendrobium, it was used to nurture Purple Star Sand. If the sand was placed in the Dendrobium, not only would it be even more powerful when released, it would even grow more sand on its own after a long period of time. If one could control it well when using it, they might be able to avoid consumption.
The final treasure was the "Star Square Hut". At this moment, it only appeared to be a foot tall, but once Enlightened Mana was channeled into it, it could immediately transform into a sturdy hut that was thirty feet in length and width. It could allow a cultivator to move about in the wilderness and also have a place to cultivate.
Most importantly, not only could it stand on the surface of the ground, it could also float above the ground. If this thing was used with the four World Repelling Pills, it could even stand in the depths of the sea or in the mouth of fire. This was even more useful for concealment.
After looking through it, he flicked his sleeve. As a ray of light drifted out, he stored all these items into his Purple Star Pouch. Afterwards, he looked towards the courtyard. From the attitude of that emissary, there should be no obstructions in going to the outer regions. In that case, he could also make preparations to leave Azure Sun.
