Two days later, Zhang Yu gradually approached Mount An. This time, he had always been heading towards Mount Qigis, which was also the direction of Goddess Peak.
After leaving the flat wasteland, the terrain here gradually rose again. Moreover, as he got further and further away from the auspicious light, the temperature also dropped quite a bit. The majestic mountain peaks here were high, the sky far away and the earth wide. Under the clear blue sky, he could see quite a few spiral-horned white oxen wandering around with their tails wagging.
Fortunately, as a cultivator, his body was far superior to ordinary people, so he didn't feel much of the cold.
He reined in his horse near a high slope. The black horse below him snorted and spat out a puff of white air.
He patted it placatingly and fished out a handful of horse fodder to feed it.
At this time, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and saw a person wearing Xuanfu Daoist robes standing at the bottom of the slope. At the same time, he also looked over. Without a doubt, it was the person who chased after him a few days ago. As expected, this person didn't give up and still followed him.
That day, when he was retreating, he only shot this person a few glances and didn't look at him carefully. Now, he could properly observe this opponent.
For people who had a certain level of cultivation, their true age was often impossible to guess. This person's appearance was about twenty years old. His face was pale, and his figure was quite tall. However, he looked a bit thin and weak. Under the blowing of the wind, the Daoist robes seemed to wrap around his body. There was also a sword hanging at his waist. The blade was quite wide, but it also looked a bit longer than ordinary swords.
That night, in the reflection of the heart lake, the few people who cultivated the Hunzhang all had chaotic auras. They didn't seem like living people. This might be a common characteristic, but as an independent individual, there were differences between each of them.
Now that he saw this person, he compared this person's figure with those auras. He found that there was calmness within the chaotic aura, and there was a type of law. This meant that even though this person might have some problems with unstable emotions, in most cases, he knew how to restrain himself. Not only that, after further observation, this person gave him a feeling of deja vu.
It had to be known that individuals of the same race all had commonalities. And people with similar personalities also had some similarities in their behavior. These similarities could be expressed in appearance, expression, walking posture, and even preferences.
The feeling this person gave him was very similar to someone he knew before. However, it was still too early to draw a conclusion. He still needed to make more judgments.
He felt that he needed to choose a more suitable place for his battle, so he led the horse and slowly moved to a higher place in the mountains. However, his speed was not fast.
When that person saw him, he immediately followed him. It seemed that he saw that he wasn't in a hurry to run away, so his footsteps were neither fast nor slow.
Zhang Yu walked slowly. Soon, he arrived at a slightly steep hill with many large rocks around it. He drove his horse far away and held the Xia Sword. He came to the top of a tall rock and waited there quietly.
When that person saw his appearance, he immediately leaped a few times. Like a flash of shadow, he arrived in front of him in a short while. Finally, with another leap, he also stood on a tall rock.
Zhang Yu clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Zhang Yu, may I ask for your name?"
That person also raised his hand in greeting and said, "So it's Zhang Junzi. This one is Zang Shu. Greetings." At this time, his face was filled with curiosity and said, "Zhang Junzi, why don't you continue walking?"
He pointed to Mount An behind Zhang Yu, "As long as you enter the mountain, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to find you. Could it be that you've thought it through and want to rely on me? If that's what you're thinking, then it's a very correct choice. "
Zhang Yu looked at him. When this person spoke, he was even more certain of his judgment. He felt that this person and Zheng Gao would definitely get along very well.
En, it could be said that this kind of person was born with a very strong desire to confide in others.
Zang Shu talked to himself for a while, then he looked at Zhang Yu, "Zhang Junzi, what do you think?"
Zhang Yu, "I would like to ask you a few questions."
Zang Shu cheerfully said, "Sure. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Zhang Yu, "When you all came that night, your Fellow Daoist once said that the chapter can avoid the restrictions of the Xuanji and directly allow people to read the next chapter. May I know what this is all about?"
He originally thought that this topic involved a certain secret and that the other party might not tell him the truth, but unexpectedly, Zang Shu answered very straightforwardly, "So it's about this matter. It's very simple. Because the vast majority of the Xuanji chapter's seals were established by the previous generation and added step by step by the later generations. This is a Dao chapter that gathered the strength of many cultivators and gradually perfected. Some of the seals inside are not bad, and there are tens of thousands of them, but …"
When he said this, a cold smile appeared on his face. "Many of the high-grade seals are in the hands of certain people and may not be passed on to you. For example, Xuanfu. Zhang Junzi, do you think that he will pass on the true secret chapter seals to you? They will only hide it and pass it on to those they trust or those close to them. "
"But the Xuanji chapter is different. You can ask for all the seals from the Xuanji chapter and don't need to beg others. If you have enough desire, then you can skip the first chapter and directly read the second chapter. It's even possible to read the third chapter."
Zhang Yu thought about it. Back then, he had asked his teacher where to find the chapters of the Great Dao. His teacher told him to search in his heart. He also believed in this, so it didn't take him long to find it.
But now, combined with Zang Shu's words, this was very likely a characteristic of the Xuanji chapter.
But he knew that things wouldn't be so simple. If the Xuanji chapter could solve all problems, then why did the predecessors spend so much effort on the Xuanji chapter? Therefore, he asserted, "There must be a price to pay here!"
"That's right!"
Zang Shu didn't deny this point and frankly admitted it. He said, "Brother Zhang, do you know about the 'Great Primal Chaos'?"
Zhang Yu nodded. "Of course I do. Some predecessors believed that it was this thing that triggered the Turbid Tide. Even before I, Tianxia, came, every epoch's destruction was related to the Great Primal Chaos."
Zang Shu chuckled: "Don't worry about these sayings, they are too far away from us. A senior once told me that Grand Primordial Chaos is everywhere and has even seeped into the Grand Dao Chapter. Of course, maybe the Grand Dao Chapter took the initiative to accept it, so the chapter now has the power of Grand Primordial Chaos. “
As he spoke, his smile became a little strange. "So if you ask too much of the Xuanji chapter, sometimes just because you're not careful, then you'll lose your human side and turn into another kind of existence. Or you might even turn into a chaotic monster that living beings can't understand. But don't worry, we have a way to prevent you from turning into that kind of thing."
Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed. No wonder he felt that these people's auras were so strange. Perhaps it was because they had been in contact with the Xuanji chapter for a long time. He pondered for a while and suddenly looked up. "Then may I ask, honored one, if I cultivate the Xuanji chapter, can I still cultivate the Xuanji chapter?"
Zang Shu said, "Lord Zhang, I actually had the same idea as you. Unfortunately, we can cultivate the Xuanji chapter to the Xuanji chapter, but after that, we can no longer cultivate the Xuanji chapter. This is also one of the reasons why Xuanji cultivators insist that they are orthodox."
He chuckled. "But I don't think it matters. As long as it can help me fulfill my wish, it doesn't matter who comes first. Even the 'new law' that we rely on has been spurned and rejected by the old cultivators."
Zhang Yu's heart moved. He didn't know about others, but he came into contact with the Xuanji chapter first and then the Xuanji chapter. It was either he was unique, or there was something that even Zang Shu didn't know about.
At this moment, Zang Shu seemed to be in high spirits as she continued to speak: "I'm afraid that you don't know, Zhang Jun. After the battle sixty years ago, the Profound Palace lost many inheritances. Today, the majority of the seals that we have are limited to the second chapter. Perhaps we still have a portion of the third chapter, but it's definitely not much. If you follow the Profound Palace, there's definitely no future for you.
Zhang Yu replied: "That might not be the case. The Turbid Tide is currently receding. If the Governor-General's Residence and Tianxia's mainland were to restore their connection, then as a disciple of the Profound Palace, they would be able to learn more seals."
Zang Shu smiled playfully. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid your idea won't be realized." He pointed behind Zhang Yu. "Lord Zhang, look. What's that?"
Zhang Yu tilted his head and looked over. What entered his eyes was a tall and lonely mountain peak. He said, "Goddess Peak."
"Yes, Goddess Peak." Zang Shu turned back and looked at him. "Did you know that someone in the Protectorate has been trying to topple the Tianxia Beacon Tower on Goddess Peak? Back then, Tianxia found this continent by luck. Once the Beacon Tower topples, even if Tianxia is still alive and didn't die in the Turbid Tide, he won't be able to find the Protectorate again."
"Lord Zhang, your Xuanfu is only relying on that Chief Qi Xuan to support you, relying on his strength to intimidate all the other factions. But now, the four Marquises of the Army of God are getting stronger by the day. EsGod, who was suppressed a long time ago, is also gradually recovering and is colluding with some of the higher-ups of the Protectorate. How long do you think the Xuanfu can survive under such circumstances?"
He revealed a very sincere expression and said, "Come to our side. There is a talent in our generation, and it is only a matter of time before he suppresses your Chief Qi Xuan. Once his cultivation is complete, he will naturally come out to take care of everything. At that time, we will be able to establish our own orthodoxy on this continent."
Zhang Yu looked up and stared at him. He said slowly, "Sir, you have said a lot just now. You talked about the Xuanfu, the Protectorate, you unruly cultivators, and even those EsGod. But I want to ask, what do you think about the people under the Protectorate's rule and the millions of people living on this land?"
Zang Shu asked curiously, "Do we need to consider them?"
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment. He reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword, slowly pulling out the Xia Sword from its sheath. Finally, with a sword hum, the blade was drawn out. His robes fluttered in a sudden gust of wind. He said, "Those who walk different paths will not work together! Draw your sword! "
