After Zhang Yu and Wei Lingying had finished their discussion, Zhang Yu returned to his residence. Then, he wrote a letter to Zuo Daoist, explaining that rejecting the offer would be even more disadvantageous to them, and that the best course of action was to actively respond to the other party.
At the same time, he also reminded Daoist Zuo to be more careful this time, and try to increase the strength of the conscription as much as possible. Next month, the two teams could set a time to depart together.
The Wei Clan Army and the Fu Clan Army were both conscriptions of the Kui Constellation Star, and the lives of soldiers were also lives. He would not ignore the life and death of the Wei Clan Army just because he was in it. This time, the two teams were working together, and he would do his best to take care of them.
However, he was not familiar with the Fu Clan Army, and there might be spies in the Fu Clan Army who had been bribed, so he did not reveal the plan of the Wei Clan Army to be an outer armor.
The Fu Clan Army was much richer than the Wei Clan Army, and if they did not hesitate to strengthen themselves, there were plenty of ways.
After ordering Li Qinghe to deliver the letter, he went to the study and flipped through the recent newspapers of the Ye Ya Prefecture. Because the Ye Ya Prefecture was equivalent to a large military prefecture, most of the news published was about clearing up and developing, and there were only a few articles about other prefectures.
After he finished reading, he returned to the quiet room. When he sat down, he called out in his mind, and summoned the Great Dao chapter.
He focused his gaze on the Divine Instinct Seal, and he had already thought about this seal on the lower level. Now, it was time to refine it into the visualization diagram.
With a thought, he poured his Divine Vitality into the seal. As the seal lit up, light shone from it and fell on his body. After a while, the light receded.
With a thought, the Mysterious Cicada with a pair of brilliant star-like wings appeared above his head.
He looked up, and the visualization diagram suddenly turned into specks of light and dissipated.
The visualization diagram was the integration of the abhijna seals, and it was also the reflection of Xuanxiu's cultivation and power. Before he was reincarnated, it did not exist.
Now, he wanted to integrate the Divine Instinct Seal into it, and make it one of the core seals that supported the visualization diagram, and he needed to do some adjustment and control again.
His eyelids drooped, and his breath slowly calmed down. At the same time, the Great Dao chapter appeared on the other side of his body.
After a long time, specks of light appeared around his body, and then floated up. At the same time, a cloud of ghostly energy floated there, and absorbed the specks of light into his body..
After only ten breaths, the Mysterious Cicada Visualization Diagram appeared again. However, one could vaguely notice that it seemed to have more spirituality than before.
At this moment, Zhang Yu sensed that everything around him was much clearer than before. He couldn't help but nod slightly.
.. of the Divine Instinct Seal's ability's ability, and his ability to sense of danger, and his spirituality, had a better grasp in battle, and had's's ability to sense.
Moreover, he could feel that as this seal deepened its fusion with the other seals, as well as the subsequent additions, when the time was right, he would be able to comprehend another divine ability.
After looking at it for a while longer, he finally put the visualization diagram away.
Next, it was time to work on the next core seal.
He had thought about it for a long time. He shifted his gaze to the Great Dao chapter, and a seal slowly appeared.
However, there was no seal name on the seal, which meant that in his self-knowledge, the seal was not complete.
But he had already decided that if this seal was completed, it would be called "Light Capture"!
The Divine Instinct Seal was "Cicada God", so this seal would be "Cicada's Foot".
When he fought with others, he mostly relied on looking for opportunities, seeing the enemy's flaws, and then relying on speed to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
But if he had the Art of Confinement, then together with his swordsmanship, his fighting ability would be raised to another level.
In the past, he had used the Cicada's Body and Ghostly Energy to trap the enemy, but that could only be done after a certain opportunity had appeared, and the restrictions were not small. Firstly, he had to be careful when using the seal, and secondly, there were limits to distance and mental strength. If this seal could be completed, it meant that he could capture the enemy from afar.
However, he didn't know this method in the past, so he needed the help of the Great Dao chapter this time.
The Seal of the Xuan chapter was different from the Seal of the Hun chapter. He could learn from the previous seals and absorb the experience to quickly master the method of using it, or he could simply improve the previous seals and turn them into his own seal.
He had studied many seals before, and some of them had the Art of Confinement and Capture.
However, the power of these seals was limited, and they were almost useless in the ever-changing battle. So, this seal was only in its embryonic form, and it wasn't even worth adding a name to it.
He had thought about how to solve this problem, and the easiest way was to learn it from a cultivator who was good at it.
He already had a goal here.
At the beginning of the month, when he was in the Mizar Hall of the Hanging Star Palace, there were many seals left behind by the cultivators who had lived there.
Some of them also left the information of the seals they were good at when they left the seals. This was actually in the hope that someone could help them perfect the seals and exchange with them. In this way, both sides could benefit.
He once noticed that there was a cultivator who was good at the Art of Confinement, so if he could perfect the seal left by the person, he might be able to exchange it with him.
Of course, the premise was that the person still needed this seal.
He had already written a letter and sent it, but there was no reply so far. He would stay for a few days, and if there was still no reply, he would pay a visit in person.
At this time, he changed his mind, and the Xuan chapter disappeared. He got up and walked out of the quiet room, found Miao Danjun and brought him to his side, and then returned to the quiet room again. After adjusting his breath for a moment, he reached out and pressed the Sky Moving Dial. In a flash, the quiet room was shrouded in light again.
After the light dissipated, he saw that he was standing on the stone plate, and Miao Danjun had also appeared at his feet.
He looked up and saw that the military fort in front of him had been roughly repaired, and the collapsed stones and broken pillars on the ground had been cleaned up.
Dense footsteps could be heard from afar. It was Li Bailiang and Old Yang who had noticed the commotion and rushed over with their soldiers. Their eyes were originally filled with vigilance, but when they saw that it was Zhang Xuanxiu, they were delighted. They cupped their fists and said, "Zhang Xuanxiu, you're back."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He had only spent a day in the outer layer, but ten days had passed in the lower layer.
He asked and learned that more than 3,000 soldiers had been replenished in the military fort these days, and a batch of cannons and firearms had been replenished. They had recovered a certain amount of combat power.
Because this was an important pass, it could not be spread out with tens of thousands of soldiers, so it usually only needed a few thousand people to guard it. However, when it came to a battle involving divine power, it did not only depend on the number of people, but almost all depended on the strength of the upper level of both sides.
After learning about the situation here, he said, "I've come back this time because I need to take a walk outside. Since your fort is stable, I won't stay here any longer."
Xuanxiu's Divine Essence was the most important to his cultivation. Since there was Origin Energy here, he naturally would not miss it and decided to go out and search for it.
Li Bailiang and Old Yang did not have any objections. Zhang Yu was not someone sent by the Military Affairs Department, and he had already been very righteous in guarding the fort for them. They could not stop him from leaving, so they cupped their fists and said, "Xuanxiu Zhang, I wish you a safe journey."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "If that person comes here again and asks where I went, you can tell him. There's no need to hide anything."
Li Bailiang and Old Yang both nodded.
After Zhang Yu gave his instructions, he took his sword and led Miao Danjun out of the military fort.
When the two hundred or so soldiers who had survived the previous battle heard that he was leaving, they all went up to the top of the wall and silently watched as his figure gradually disappeared into the wilderness.
Zhang Yu walked in the direction of the setting sun. He passed through the battlefield where the two sides had fought many days ago. After crossing over a small hill, the sky gradually darkened. However, he had no intention of stopping. He continued to walk forward.
After Miao Danjun arrived here, he did not run around randomly. Instead, he stuck close to him, vigilantly and curiously looking around.
From time to time, he would see a few dilapidated wooden huts and a few remaining tall buildings. The main parts of these buildings had been completely dismantled, leaving only a few foundation walls.
This used to be the territory of the Yue Dynasty, but under the pressure of the heretic believers, they had always been forced to retreat. Now, they only occupied an extremely small area and could face the danger of being wiped out at any moment.
After traveling for half the night, a tall mountain ridge appeared in front of him. According to the soldiers in the fort, after crossing this mountain, it would take another four days to reach the old capital of the Yue Dynasty. However, it had now become a place of worship for the heretic god.
And that was the first destination of his trip.
Under the illumination of the morning light of the next day, he was already standing at the top of the mountain ridge. Looking into the distance, he could indeed see a large dilapidated city a little to the northwest. He could faintly see a spiritual light flickering there.
He tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand and strode forward. Miao Danjun also followed him lightly.
On the second day after he left, two rays of light appeared on the stone plate. Cultivator Xu and a rather frivolous cultivator who looked to be around seventy-eight years old appeared together.
The young cultivator looked around and said with interest, "Is this the lower level?" He looked at his hands and feet. "Interesting, interesting. It feels like I'm really here." He then raised his eyebrows. "It's just that my heartforce has been greatly suppressed."
Cultivator Xu looked around vigilantly. "Junior Brother Su, you should get used to it. The person we're about to deal with is not simple."
Junior Brother Su said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Senior Brother, are you afraid of that person?"
Cultivator Xu was somewhat annoyed. "This person does have some skill. Junior Brother Su, if you help me succeed this time, I'll give you the things we agreed on before."
Junior Brother Su laughed. "We're brothers. There's no need to treat me like an outsider." He looked around. "But where is this person?"
Cultivator Xu immediately found Li Bailiang and Old Yang to ask. The two had received Zhang Yu's instructions and didn't hide anything. They truthfully told him where he was going.
After Cultivator Xu asked for clarification, he had a brief discussion with Junior Martial Brother Su. Then, he immediately left the barracks and followed the trail.
