The two Daoists looked over and saw a young Daoist who was surrounded by jade mist walk out. He wore a large cloak and held a long sword in his hand. His face couldn't be seen clearly under the hood.
However, the two Daoists soon discovered that this wasn't a True Cultivator like they had imagined, but a Xuanxiu.
The older Daoist immediately lost interest in making friends. He shook his head and said, "Junior Martial Brother Qu, let's go."
Daoist Qu said, "Senior Martial Brother, didn't you want to make friends with this person?"
The older Daoist said indifferently, "But that's just a Xuanxiu. We're True Cultivators who cultivate the true Dao. How can this person be worthy of being in the same group as us?"
Daoist Qu said, "Senior Martial Brother, didn't you say that we're all Daoists regardless of status?"
The older Daoist said disdainfully, "That's right, but how can Xuanxiu be considered a Daoist? Among the tens of thousands of Xuanxiu, how many can ask for the upper realm? "
Although True Cultivators and Xuanxiu didn't have as big of a gap as the inner realm, the relationship between the two sides couldn't be said to be very harmonious. After True Cultivators cultivated the Primordial Spirit Reflection Realm, they usually suppressed Xuanxiu in terms of cultivation base and battle prowess.
In addition, there were people who secretly added fuel to the fire and blindly belittled Xuanxiu. This caused many narrow-minded True Cultivators to feel that their status was above Xuanxiu's and that Xuanxiu wasn't worthy of being in the same group as them. The older Daoist was one of them.
Daoist Qu remained silent. Although he didn't agree with his Senior Martial Brother's view, he wouldn't argue with him about it.
The older Daoist then turned around and walked down from the rooftop without looking back.
Daoist Qu looked back at the figure surrounded by clouds above and hesitated for a moment. Then, he also left with the older Daoist.
After Zhang Yu walked down from the flying boat, he also glanced in the direction where the two left.
He had also noticed their gazes, but he quickly retracted his gaze. These two were only True Cultivators with mediocre cultivation and did not pose any threat to him.
At this moment, he raised his hand, and the huge white boat instantly turned into a ball of light. It spun in the air and fell into his purple star bag.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as a valiant Guan Wei led a group of soldiers over. The Guan Wei cupped his fists and bowed to him. Then, he showed his name token and said, "May I ask where Xuanxiu is from?"
Zhang Yu knew that these people were in charge of checking the identity of the visitors. He raised his hand and took out the Xuanting Travel Jade Seal.
After he revealed his identity as Xuanting's Advisor to the Military Affairs Department, his identity was no longer a secret among the upper echelons. No matter where he went, there would definitely be people paying attention to him, so he did not hesitate to reveal his identity.
Moreover, with this identity, not only could he avoid a lot of trouble, he could even go to places that ordinary cultivators could not go.
Guan Wei looked at the jade seal under the red tassel, and after recognizing the name of the seal, he couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
Zhang Yu put away the jade seal, then walked out of the boat platform under the respectful and curious gazes of the soldiers.
That Guan Wei watched him walk away, then pulled a soldier over and said with a serious expression, "Go and report to the Military Affairs Department that a Xuanting Travel Jade Seal has arrived at Tanquan City."
Because Tanquan City was located at the top of a high cliff, after Zhang Yu got down from the rooftop, he walked up the wide and neat white jade steps along the cliff wall.
Below his left hand was an endless sea of waves. From time to time, a flock of white birds would chirp as they flew past, and a warm sea breeze would blow over, constantly fluttering the hem of his clothes.
Not long after, he finished walking up the jade steps and stood at the edge of the cliff.
In front of the long white jade shore, he saw many people of the province enjoying the pleasant sea breeze. Every one of them had smiles on their faces, and children were running around happily. At this moment, there was a rich fragrance of flowers accompanied by dancing petals. Walking around here, one could not help but be intoxicated.
Suddenly, there was a commotion to his left. He turned to look and saw a few children sitting on a floating cloud-like object, flying back and forth, cheering non-stop. When they passed by a stone pillar, they even brushed against it and spun a few rounds in the air, letting out loud cries. There was a mixture of fear and excitement in their voices.
He felt a little emotional. Compared to Ye Ya Province, which was located in the wilderness, the people here were clearly happy. Under the protection of Heaven City, they could live peacefully here, enjoy peace, and not have to face the harsh environment and all kinds of evil gods and monsters.
After taking a few more steps, he looked up and saw that at the far end of the jade road, there was a pavilion hidden among the green trees and flowers. On the two sides of the road, there were two large jade walls. The left side was engraved with the laws of Tianxia, while the right side was engraved with a map of Tanquan City. There were detailed annotations of all the important places in the province.
He first glanced at the law of Tianxia, then turned around and looked at the map.
It was his first time coming to Tanquan City. He needed to find a place to stay first, and then tour the province.
In the Tanquan Earth Province, the most suitable places for cultivators to stay were the Bright Light Palace and the Falling Star Palace. The Bright Light Palace was the place where True Cultivators lived, and the Falling Star Palace was naturally the place where many Xuanxiu stayed.
He just came from the west by boat, so that palace should not be far from here. After looking around the map, he found the location of the Falling Star Palace.
Thus, he shook his sleeves and strode forward.
Perhaps it was because the Dharma Symposium was about to begin. In addition, on Earth Star, almost every time he walked, he would meet some young disciples who had cultivated Xuan Method, but were just stepping on the threshold. It made him feel that at this moment, he was walking in Dongting Xuanfu.
While he was walking, a carriage pulled by four carriages suddenly came over. When it passed by him, it slowly slowed down.
The glass window of the carriage was moved aside, revealing a man in his early forties, who was dressed in round-necked ancient clothes. He said to him, "Is this Xuanxiu going to the Falling Star Palace?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "Yes."
The man said enthusiastically, "There's still a long way to go. I'm also going to the Falling Star Palace. If Xuanxiu doesn't mind, why don't you get on my carriage? We'll go together."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
The man couldn't help but smile and said, "You're welcome. It's my honor to have Xuanxiu on my carriage." He pushed open the door of the carriage and said, "Xuanxiu, please."
Zhang Yu stepped forward and looked around the interior of the carriage. It was very spacious, enough to seat seven or eight people. The floor was covered with a beautiful soft carpet, and there was a short sandalwood table in the middle. There was an arched corner of the table, and there was a bronze incense burner, emitting waves of fragrance.
Other than this middle-aged man, there was also a fifteen or sixteen year old girl sitting on the couch. She was flipping through a scroll at the moment. Even when someone came in, she didn't raise her head, as if she wasn't interested in the things outside.
After the middle-aged man invited Zhang Yu to sit on the couch, he raised his sleeves and bowed to him, saying, "I'm Yue Zhong. Xuanxiu greets you."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and returned the greeting, saying, "Zhang Yu."
Yue Zhong smiled and said, "So it's Xuanxiu." He pointed at the young girl, "This is my youngest daughter. She is also a Xuanxiu. Right now, she is cultivating with a master. This time, we are going to pay our respects to her master. En, Luo Er, why aren't you greeting Xuanxiu?"
The young girl put down the book, stood up from the couch, and bowed to Zhang Yu. Then, she sat down again and picked up the book to read again.
Yue Zhong said awkwardly, "This daughter of mine is naturally indifferent. She can't see strangers. I hope Xuanxiu won't blame her."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "It's fine. From what I see, Mr. Yue's daughter has this kind of focus, which is why she can cultivate the Heart Light at such a young age. Mr. Yue can't be too harsh on her."
When the young girl heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head in surprise. She had only found the Heart Light Seal not long ago. She didn't expect that her words would be exposed. She couldn't help but seriously size up Zhang Yu, but the latter's face was covered by a hat, so she couldn't see his face clearly.
Yue Zhong was also a little surprised, but then he was secretly happy.
The reason why he was willing to take Zhang Yu on the carriage was because he felt that this person wasn't simple, so he wanted to form a good relationship with him. Now, it seemed that this person was able to see through his daughter's cultivation at a glance. Obviously, he wasn't an ordinary cultivator. Thinking of this, his attitude became even more respectful and fervent.
The young girl was obviously not used to her father's attitude. She lowered her head slightly to read the book, only occasionally raising her head to look at Zhang Yu.
The carriage traveled for about half a summer's time. Yue Zhong looked outside, moved the glass window, and pointed. He said loudly, "Xuanxiu, that's the Hanging Star Palace."
Zhang Yu turned to look and saw that on the side of the road, about half a mile away, there was an endless row of pavilions. Among them, the most eye-catching one was The most conspicuous one was an extremely grand domed palace, with seven sub-halls surrounding a main hall.
The entire palace was located on a high ground by the southwest corner of the cliff. Its back was against the distant and vast sky, as if it was high up in the clouds, overlooking the world. And in front of it was a wide plaza. There were groups of cultivators walking around, as if they were discussing something.
It was currently evening. The sunset enveloped the main hall, reflecting layers of rich changes. A warm wind blew, and the sea of flowers on both sides of the plaza swayed. Countless petals were swept away, floating towards the sea and the sky.
The carriage turned and drove towards the plaza. Amidst the rhythmic sound of horse hooves, it finally stopped under a stone corridor at the edge of the plaza.
Zhang Yu walked down from the carriage. He looked up and was immediately attracted by something.
It was a huge and sturdy jade pillar standing in front of the plaza. It was six zhang tall, and the surface of the pillar was exquisite and smooth. From time to time, it would flicker with a fine and resplendent light.
This was obviously a Xuan Pillar, just like the one standing in Xuanfu. It was used to carry Xuanxiu's secret seals and methods.
"The seals inside are all seals of the Old Imperfections." A clear and pleasant voice came from the side.
Zhang Yu tilted his head slightly and saw that the one who spoke was Yue Zhong's daughter, Yue Luo. She wasn't tall, and when she stood beside him, she didn't even reach his shoulder. He said thoughtfully, "Seals of the Old Imperfections …"
