Yue Luo said softly from the side, "I heard from my teacher that after the seals were placed here, apart from a small portion, most of them never changed."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and nodded slightly. This was in line with his thoughts.
Xuanxiu's seals were not only passed down by predecessors, but also created by later Daoist cultivators themselves.
However, if a single person were to deduce it, it would inevitably be incomplete. Therefore, many Daoist cultivators would choose to imprint these flawed seals into the Xuan Pillar and show it to others.
If there were interested Daoists, they could copy it, or deduce it to perfect it, or communicate with other Daoists. In the process, more seals would be born.
If Xuanxiu continued to place the seals he deduced on the Xuan Pillar, then it would inspire more people, and it could even push the seals to improve further. This was a virtuous cycle.
But in reality, this kind of ideal situation could only be due to the deliberate guidance of the Profound Palace or under a relatively relaxed environment.
After all, most Daoist cultivators were not willing to show the seals they worked hard to deduce for no reason.
What's more, there were still cultivators on the outer layer who were secretly leaning towards Shang Chen Tian. Although Shang Chen Tian didn't necessarily need a Profound Art, knowing these seals was equivalent to knowing your path. From there, they would be able to find a way to break it.
Therefore, the seals on the Xuan Pillar now only expressed a Daoist's initial train of thought or question. They were not deduced and perfected. Therefore, they were called the "Seal of the Old and Incomplete".
However, even the Seal of the Old and Incomplete could still inspire people.
He already had some ideas on how to ascend to the upper realm. One of the things he needed to do was to perfect the visualization diagram. However, none of the seals could be used directly. He needed to figure it out himself. It was just like how he perfected the Xuanhun Chan visualization diagram by observing those spiritual foreign creatures. Therefore, from his point of view, these seals also had their own value.
At this moment, Yue Zhong stopped the carriage. He walked closer and bowed slightly, "Xuanxiu Zhang, I'm bringing Xiao Luo to meet her teacher. May I know where Xuanxiu is going next?"
Zhang Yu: "I'm just taking a walk here. Thank you for giving me a ride, Mr. Yue." He took out a jade slip from his Purple Star Bag and handed it over, "This is some of the insights I wrote about searching for the mysteries. You might as well take a look at it."
Yue Zhong's eyes lit up. At the same time, he felt that it was a pity. In fact, he would rather Zhang Yu not give him anything. This way, in the future, he could rely on this good karma to make more connections. However, he also knew that one could not be insatiably greedy. He also had to know how to be tactful. Therefore, he stretched out his hands and received it. Then, he respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Then we won't disturb Xuanxiu anymore."
After bowing, he turned to Yue Luo and said, "Daughter, let's go."
Yue Luo also bowed to Zhang Yu and followed her father into the palace.
After Zhang Yu parted with the father and daughter, he walked towards the Xuan Pillar.
At this moment, there were also a few Xuanxiu standing under the Xuan Pillar. However, it seemed that their cultivation was not high. Most of them were low-level cultivators. When they saw Zhang Yu coming over, they all bowed and clasped their hands, taking the initiative to give way.
After all, even if Zhang Yu's Qi was concealed by the cloak, he was still at the level of a fourth chapter cultivator. Among the Xuanxiu, he was definitely close to the top.
Zhang Yu nodded in return. Then, he stood under the Xuan Pillar. He raised his head and looked over. Slightly sensing, he saw that there were densely packed seals appearing on the Xuan Pillar. For a moment, it could be said that it was hard to count.
However, this Xuan Pillar had already stood here for more than three hundred years. It was normal for there to be so many seals.
However, most of the seals here were useless to him. He only planned to look for seals that could inspire him.
Just as he was looking around, a Daoist with a face full of vicissitudes walked over. He looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, is this your first time here?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Yes."
The Daoist sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you came at a bad time. In the past few hundred years, even though the seals here were lacking, there were many wonderful ideas. However, things are different now."
Zhang Yu asked, "What's the difference?"
The Daoist shook his head and sighed, "After a few Xuanxiu cultivators reached the upper realm, many cultivators wanted to follow the path of their predecessors. Or, they hoped that after they made contributions, they could become their disciples. They were even willing to become the disciples of their disciples. Therefore, many people no longer have the intention to study Dao."
Zhang Yu thought about it. He did not think that these cultivators were short-sighted. Even though everyone had their own path of Dao, there were techniques to follow. They did not necessarily have to pursue their own Dao.
Even True Cultivators were passed down in this way, wasn't it?
The key was that they had to recognize themselves. If they did not have the ability, it was safer to walk this path.
If he really had the intention to strengthen Xuan Fa, then there was no need for him to sigh and groan. If he had the time to do so, he might as well raise his head and look ahead. He would try to open up a path that others could pursue.
The Daoist saw that he did not answer. He shook his head and sighed a few times before leaving.
Zhang Yu observed carefully. Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. His robe swayed in the night wind. Behind him, in the Hanging Star Palace, spots of starlight lit up. The main hall and the seven smaller halls were all shining brightly. Under the night sky, it was as if stars had fallen to the earth.
When the night completely covered the sky, he retracted his gaze and turned to walk into the palace.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bright light coming towards him. The hall was as bright as day. Compared to the cold and empty outside, this place was quite noisy.
In the tall and grand hall that was decorated with colored glass and precious jade, there were many cultivators dressed in exquisite black robes sitting or standing. They gathered in groups of two or three and talked with each other excitedly. However, with a glance, he saw that most of these people were disciples who had just cultivated the Heart Light. Uh, there were some people who had just entered the sect.
He listened to a few words. These young disciples rarely talked about their cultivation experiences. Instead, they were more inclined towards fun and novel topics.
However, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Young and vigorous lives had the qualifications to chase after these things. If it was not for the fact that he had reincarnated and had a higher level of pursuit for life, he might have also joined in.
He walked over and passed through the huge pillars. He walked to the front of the stage at the side of the hall. The guard in charge of the matters in the palace saw that he had an extraordinary background and took the initiative to welcome him.
This person was around thirty years old. He was dressed in a wide-sleeved ancient robe. He had a round face and a beard. He looked very amiable. When he came close, he clasped his hands and bowed to Zhang Yu. He said respectfully, "Xuanxiu, do you want to stay in the palace?"
Zhang Yu, "Yes."
The guard asked, "I wonder if Xuanxiu wants to go to the upper or lower palace?"
Zhang Yu, "It's better to go to the upper palace."
He had learned before that the upper palace of the Hanging Star Palace's Hall of Hanging Star Palace had a wide field of vision. The convenience of cultivation far surpassed other places. Moreover, there was a black pillar erected in every upper palace. The seals on the pillars were all left behind by the cultivators who had previously lived here.
Those who were able to live here were not as simple as reading the fourth chapter of the book. Most of them had a background, so he could use this as a reference to observe.
As for the expenses of living in the Upper Palace, as the Inspector of Xuanting, all the expenses were borne by the Xuanting. Of course, there was a limit to the expenses each year. However, after he moved to the Outer Palace, he had not spent a single cent of his own expenses. On the contrary, he had quite a lot of income, so he did not lack gold ingots.
Guan Wei replied, "Currently, the upper palaces of the Celestial Pivot, Celestial Jade, Celestial Phecda, and Megrez are all full. The Yaoguang Palace has already been reserved by someone else. Only the Alioth and Kaiyang Divisions still have two upper palaces left. Which one would Xuanxiu like?"
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and felt that the name of Kaiyang was fated with him. He said, "Then Kaiyang Palace will do."
Guan Wei said to a very capable servant behind him, "Luo Hou, take this Xuanxiu to Kaiyang Division."
The servant first bowed to Zhang Yu, then moved to the side and said, "Xuanxiu, this way please."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed him.
Their actions attracted the attention of the young Mystics in the hall, and they began to ask each other about it.
"Who was that Master just now? You Guan Wei personally came out. Does anyone recognize him? "
"I've never seen him before. From the looks of it, he's very likely a Xuanhe Realm Master."
"That's natural. Which cultivator who can live in the Upper Palace of the Falling Star Palace isn't a Master with profound cultivation? If you haven't seen him before, then he might be from the Inner Palace. "
The disciples deeply agreed. Every person who entered the Upper Palace had a great background. Not to mention cultivation, just the daily expenses of staying in the Upper Palace was not something ordinary people could afford.
A disciple sighed, "Ai, I'm really envious."
A disciple beside him patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Zhu, there's no need to be envious. Cultivate well. Maybe there will be a day when you enter the Upper Palace."
The disciple surnamed Zhu sighed and said, "Cultivation is so difficult. How many years have I been trying to find the Xuanji? I'm already twenty-five years old now. My teacher told me that if I still can't do it after ten years, then I'll have to be sent to some Earth Star to be an ordinary guard. Maybe I'll be like this for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, most of the people present were anxious and worried about the future.
They were all disciples who weren't valued. In the future, they would most likely be sent to some small Earth Star to be a guard like this disciple surnamed Zhu. As for the real elite disciples, they were now following their masters. In the future, they were destined to walk two different paths.
At this moment, in the Tianshu Palace of the Prince Hall, a young cultivator dressed in a silver robe was sitting by the pool. From time to time, he would throw some bait to feed the golden carps swimming around in the pool. His face was as handsome and flawless as many cultivators with profound cultivation. What was particularly eye-catching was his eyes. They were misty and blurred, deep and unfathomable.
At this time, a young cultivator walked to the back and said, "Brother Senior, have you heard that a fellow Daoist has entered the Upper Palace of the Prince Hall?"
The cultivator surnamed Shi didn't turn his head. He just grunted and said, "What's his origin?"
With a flick of his wrist, he threw out the bait. A golden carp leaped high into the air and swallowed it first. Then, it swayed its tail and stayed in the air for a moment before falling into the water with a plop, causing a large splash.
The young cultivator glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze. He said, "That's what's interesting. We've never seen this person before. Perhaps he's also from the inner layer like you, Brother Senior."
The cultivator surnamed Shi said calmly, "That's not bad. In two days, when we discuss the Dao with the fellow Daoist from the Bright Palace, we'll be able to have an extra helping hand."
The young cultivator smiled and said, "Speaking of the 'Xuan Zhen Dao Discussion' every year, we've lost every time in the past ten years or so. However, this time, with you, Brother Senior, our chances of winning are much higher."
The cultivator with the surname Shi did not say anything. Instead, he swung his sleeve. In an instant, all of the golden carps in the pool turned into specks of light and dissipated. Even the large pool of water disappeared along with them. In front of him, only a smooth and clean wall stood there.
