Zhang Yu followed the servant. After walking along the Bright Corridor for a while, he came to the Mizar Hall. As soon as he entered this place, he suddenly felt refreshed.
Looking up, he saw a piece of beautiful jade inlaid on the dome. He immediately recognized that it was the famous "Sky Cicada Jade". It had the function of turning turbid to clear and warding off evil spirits.
He couldn't help but nod. With this item, whether it was Xuanxiu refining Spirit Vitality or Zhen Xiu regulating Qi, it could be twice the result with half the effort. The key was that it could also resist the evil spirits outside the void. Standing here, he didn't have to maintain the Sky World Bestowing Clothes from time to time.
Just this alone made entering this palace worth it.
He looked at it for a while, then he waved his hand to let the servant leave. He then walked down the stairs.
He didn't look at the elegant layout here. Instead, he walked through the hall and came to the open space in front of the Mizar Hall. There was indeed a Xuan Pillar here.
This Xuan Pillar was about 20 feet tall, and there was a faint jade light floating on it.
He came closer and pressed his hand on it. In an instant, seals flashed in front of his eyes.
However, compared to the old and damaged seals outside, the seals here were much more advanced.
Because the Xuan Pillar in the square could be copied by anyone, there were many seals left by the cultivators of the third chapter.
These cultivators' cultivation wasn't high, and their understanding of Taoism was also lacking, so in his opinion, they were too lacking. They could only provide him with ideas and inspiration.
However, this place was different. Those who could enter the upper palace were definitely Xuan He cultivators, and they were all elites of this realm. Therefore, even if the seal was missing, it was still relatively complete. In fact, if it was placed in the Three Chapters, it could be used directly.
He only observed for a moment, and he felt that he gained a lot.
He stood here for a night. When dawn came, he returned to the hall and sat down. Then, he fell into a long period of thinking.
At that time, he used the sword seal and the word seal as his core seals, and he relied on them to cultivate the Xuan Qing Chan Visualization Picture.
Now that he wanted to further perfect this visualization diagram, he needed to fill in more core seals to support it. This was also a necessary process as his cultivation base increased.
Xuanxiu's cultivation method had always been based on the Six Righteous Seals, and the Six Righteous Seals were considered complete. Therefore, he needed to fill in at least four more seals to act as the core. Only then could he complete the step of reincarnating from death.
Today, after being touched and enlightened by the numerous seals, his thoughts rose and fell incessantly. After a long time, his eyes lit up. Instantly, a muddy light flashed, and the Grand Dao chapter appeared before him. After that, he pointed with his finger, and numerous seals appeared on it.
In Yao Guang Zi Hall, a handsome Daoist San Xun was half leaning on the couch. He was holding a painting scroll in his hand and was carefully examining it. However, the people or images in the painting were moving around as if they were alive.
Yue Luo carefully entered under the guidance of a cultivator. She bowed towards the Daoist and said, "Teacher."
The Daoist casually said, "No need to be so courteous. Disciple, have you eaten dinner?"
Yue Luo curiously glanced at the painting, and quickly retracted her gaze. She said, "Teacher, disciple only took an energy pill."
The Daoist shook his head and said, "Sigh, tasting delicious food is the joy of life. You can't give it up lightly. You're still young, so you don't need to abstain from eating yet."
Yue Luo was puzzled. She asked, "But eating the five grains is turbid, won't it pollute the Daoist body?"
The Daoist shook his head and said, "Being in this big dye vat of heaven and earth, what isn't polluted? When can we transcend this heaven and earth? Only then can we talk about the peace of this place. This is the state that I, your teacher, have yet to reach. You don't have to fight to do it. "
Yue Luo said seriously, "Teacher can definitely do it."
The Daoist was attracted by her slightly innocent words and smiled. He put down the painting scroll and said, "I heard from your father that you met a fellow Daoist on the way back?"
Yue Luo said, "Yes, that Master could tell that disciple had cultivated the Heart Light at a glance."
The Daoist nodded slightly. He didn't have any comments on this. When a Daoist cultivator cultivated the Heart Light, it actually broke through the barrier between mortals and gods. For a disciple like Yue Luo who didn't know how to restrain herself, even if she didn't display the Heart Light, as long as one had a little bit of cultivation, they would be able to distinguish it from the aura.
At this moment, Yue Luo lowered her head. She took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it over. She said, "That was left to disciple by that Xuanxiu."
That jade slip floated in the air and fell into the Daoist's hand. His consciousness entered it and turned. His originally careless expression immediately became somewhat restrained. Soon after, he sat up straight. He muttered to himself for a moment and returned it. He warned, "Keep it well."
Yue Luo said, "Teacher?"
The Daoist said, "The words written here are very thorough. It's reasonable and also has proof. If you can understand these teachings, you can save at least three years of hard work." He shook his head. "Teacher owes this fellow Daoist a favor."
Three years didn't seem long, but before she could cultivate the second chapter of the Dao, every year was crucial. One year was equivalent to ten years. If she was an ordinary student, it wouldn't matter. However, he really treated Yue Luo as a disciple and taught her. He couldn't help but owe her a favor.
Hearing him say this, Yue Luo suddenly felt somewhat uneasy. She said, "Teacher, shouldn't I be accepted as a disciple?"
The Daoist smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. For such a good thing, I'd rather you keep bumping into it. You don't need to feel burdened."
He looked at a servant beside him. The servant nodded and left. After a moment, he turned back and said, "Teacher, I've asked around. That upper-level cultivator is currently residing in Kai Yang Zi Hall. Do you want me to pay him a visit …"
The Daoist said, "No need. In two days, it will be the Zhen Xuan Dao Discussion. At that time, we will naturally meet. However, you can also pay more attention. If this person leaves, promptly inform me."
The servant bowed and said yes.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the 28th day of the fifth month, on the square in front of the Hanging Star Palace, more than ten Daoists walked over. These people were all dressed in ancient Daoist robes. Their hair was combed into a Daoist bun. Around them, auspicious clouds floated. As they walked, there seemed to be a celestial sound. Behind them, there were dozens of disciples following.
After they arrived, a middle-aged Xuanxiu immediately led many disciples out to welcome them. Solemnly they greeted them outside the door.
The leading Daoist bowed and did not say much. He then followed the middle-aged Xuanxiu into the Hanging Star Palace.
At the same time, the young Daoist came to the Dubhe Upper Palace again. He said to Shi Yanxin, who was playing chess with another Daoist, "Senior Daoist Brother, the people have arrived."
Shi Yanxin stared at the chessboard and said, "May I know who these Daoists are?"
Although the number of Zhen Xuan Dao Cultivators was not as many as the Xuanxiu, after reaching a certain level, their cultivation could usually be maintained above a certain level. Therefore, they were not sure in advance who the other side would send to discuss the Dao with them this time.
The young Daoist said with a solemn expression, "Let's not talk about the rest. The two leaders are Shen Ruoqiu and Nie Yin."
Shi Yanxin was about to place a chess piece, but when he heard this, his hand paused slightly. He said calmly, "It seems that they are determined to win."
The young Daoist said in a deep voice, "Yes. They must have heard that Senior Daoist Brother came to participate in the Dao discussion, so they are not willing to let us Xuanxiu have the upper hand this time."
Shi Yanxin slowly put down the chess piece in his hand. After the piece was placed, the entire chessboard shattered and dissipated. Xuanxiu, who was sitting opposite him, sighed regretfully. He also turned into golden light and disappeared, leaving behind an empty quiet room.
The young Daoist Brother's eyes lit up. He said, "Senior Daoist Brother's cultivation has improved again."
Shi Yanxin was abnormally calm. He said, "If they are not in the upper realm, they are all insignificant achievements."
He sat up straight and pondered for a while. Then he said, "If Shen Ruoqiu and Nie Yin are to compete in the three days of the Dao discussion, if I win against one, I can't win against the other. Therefore, the day when the two of them are not present is especially important. It would be best if I can win. Who does Daoist Brother think is most suitable?"
The young Daoist Brother thought for a while and said, "Daoist Brother Yu from the Yaoguang Zi Hall is quite suitable. In the past two days of private discussions, there are few who can win against him. Perhaps we can let this person have a try."
Shi Yanxin nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Daoist Brother to invite Daoist Brother Yu and try to win today's competition."
The young Daoist Brother cupped his hands and said, "I'll go now."
In the Kaiyangzi Hall, Zhang Yu woke up from his meditation. However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed that there were many strong auras in the main hall in the distance. Moreover, judging from the auras, they were all True Daoists.
He thought for a while and understood the reason.
This was the annual Dao discussion of True Daoists. He did not expect that the discussion this time would be held in the Hanging Star Palace.
In the past ten years, Xuanxiu could be said to have lost every time in the Dao discussion of True Daoists. It was not only in the Kuizu Earth Star, but also in the Four Symbols Heavens.
In fact, in the past twenty or even thirty years, Xuanxiu had always lost more than he won. However, he could still win a few rounds, so the situation was not that bad. However, in recent years, his situation was getting worse and worse.
However, a few decades ago, True Daoists were flourishing, and there were many people with outstanding talents. Even the current Xuan Zun had found the path of Dao at that time and entered the upper realm. It was also by relying on these few people that Xuanxiu was able to suppress the True Daoists.
However, this scene was short-lived. After these few people ascended to the upper realm, there seemed to be no more successors. It could be said that they were defeated again and again.
It was no wonder that many True Daoists looked down on Xuanxiu. It was indeed an impression that was gradually formed in these discussions of True Daoists.
However, because this matter was purely a battle of True Daoists and did not involve a discussion of Dao, he was not very interested in it.
Unless it was necessary, or he was facing an opponent that he could not avoid, he had no intention of fighting with others. Moreover, it was very easy to reveal one's Dao techniques and Divine Abilities in a battle of True Daoists in front of others. It should be known that this was not the inner realm, but the outer realm. He had to be careful to prevent the Shangchen cultivators from spying on him.
He did not forget his identity as the "Xuanting Walker". There was really no need for him to expose too much of his background.
However, there was another matter that attracted him more. However, he was prepared to do it after the Xuan Zun's discussion.
However, sometimes, some things could not be avoided just because he wanted to. After another day of meditation, someone came to find him.
