Xuan Xing.
A giant white ship broke through the atmosphere and landed on the surface of the planet.
This planet was only slightly smaller than Kui Mansion and was only a three-day journey away. However, this planet was too barren and unsuitable for living creatures to live on, so there were only a few garrisons used to guard against Shangchen cultivators.
In fact, most of the planets in Kui Mansion were like this, and the ones that could provide living creatures were usually remodeled by Xuan Zun using his great mana.
The garrisons on the ground quickly noticed the arrival of the white ship and immediately shone a ray of light. At the same time, a patrol ship came forward to confirm the ship's identity. After knowing that it was Xuanting's Patrol Officer, they immediately opened up all barriers and let the white ship in.
A marquis from the local garrisons personally came out to welcome them. When he knew that Zhang Yu was here to look for Xuanxiu, he said, "Patrol Officer, you're here to look for Xuanxiu, right? He's not here, he's at the extreme south of Xuan Xing. I can order someone to bring you to look for him."
Zhang Yu said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The marquis immediately sent a very young soldier to board his white ship and under his guidance, they sailed towards the south.
Halfway through, a gust of wind blew, and their vision turned dark.
The young soldier gestured with his hands and said, "Patrol Officer, this is the most common gust of wind on Xuan Xing. Don't worry, the ship can withstand it. The strongest gust I've seen is ten times stronger than this. We just have to follow the red light in front of us and head south. That's the road sign we set up here."
Zhang Yu also noticed that every thousand miles or so, there was a huge metal pillar on the ground. At the top of the pillar, there was a red light shooting into the sky. It should be the road sign.
He then asked, "How many years have you served here?"
The young soldier scratched his head and said, "About three years. I joined the garrisons when I was sixteen." Longingly, he said, "As long as I've been a soldier for five years, and have three military exploits, my father and mother will be able to move to Tanquan City."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. The three military exploits meant that he had participated in at least three battles with the enemy. However, the garrison would either not encounter any enemies, or they would encounter extremely powerful Shangchen cultivators and divine descendants. Therefore, there was a lot of danger here.
While talking, the flying boat suddenly passed through the clusters of red light. As the hurricane dissipated, they saw a domed platform built on a snowy peak, surrounded by an endless cold white plain. It looked particularly lonely and desolate.
As the white boat approached, it landed on one of the moors on the high platform.
Zhang Yu found that this place was not as deserted as it looked from the outside. There were also several flying boats parked here. It was obvious that there were other visitors here besides him.
After they walked onto the platform, a servant immediately came out to welcome them. He bowed to Zhang Yu and said apologetically, "I hope this superior cultivator will forgive us. Master Hu is welcoming guests. Please wait outside for a moment."
The young soldier said, "This is …"
However, Zhang Yu raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "We'll wait outside."
Under the servant's lead, he came to a reception hall. It was empty. It seemed that they were the last group of guests today.
After waiting for about half an hour, the attendant hurriedly walked over and bowed to him, saying, "Superior cultivator, Mister invites you in."
Zhang Yu stood up and followed the servant out of the hall. He walked along a stone corridor that was covered with a thick carpet. He then stepped onto a row of spacious steps that led to the top of the high platform. After walking for about half an hour, he arrived at the highest point of the high platform.
He glanced around. Looking at the layout, it seemed to be a stargazing platform. An old Daoist with a beard and hair covering his face sat in front of him. He wore a gray Daoist robe and was extremely thin. Only a pair of bright eyes shone through the gaps in his hair.
At this moment, the servant silently retreated.
The old Daoist sat there and cupped his hands to him, saying, "Governor Zhang, greetings.
Zhang Yu returned the greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hu, greetings." He glanced at the other party, "Looking at Fellow Daoist's appearance, you seem to have seen me before."
Old Daoist Hu said, "Although I've never left this place, I've 'seen' Governor Zhang through other Fellow Daoists." He pointed to the praying mat in front of him, saying, "Governor, please sit. This old Daoist can't move from here. I hope you won't take offense if I've been rude."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and sat down in front of him.
Daoist Hu glanced at him a few times, saying, "Governor Zhang, may I know what you're here for?"
Zhang Yu confessed his purpose of coming, saying, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Qi is proficient in eye seals. Recently, I've been looking for something on this path. I heard that Fellow Daoist Qi is proficient in this path, so I've come to ask for your guidance."
Daoist Hu's eyes that were hidden in his hair looked over, saying, "What Governor wants to ask for guidance, I believe it's not for the usual observation, but for a different mystery."
Zhang Yu said, "That's right."
Daoist Hu nodded, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his mouth, "I've been observing the sun, moon, and stars here for more than seventy years to find the entrances to the inner layer for Kui Su. Once I find something, I'll inform the Military Affairs Department to send someone to guard it until it closes by itself.
Before me, my teacher had been here for two hundred years until I took over from him.
It's just that after several decades of observing, I also feel that it's boring and even irritating. However, according to the rules set by my sect and Kui Su, unless I find a suitable successor, I can only be free.
I heard that Governor Zhang came from the inner layer and was once a Xuanzheng of an upper continent, so you must know a lot of young juniors. Governor Zhang only needs to appoint a disciple to replace me, then I can hand over all the high-grade seals that I know to Governor Zhang. "
Zhang Yu had a second thought, if this disciple was so easy to find, he probably wouldn't have stayed here for so many years. There must be some harsh conditions. He said, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist wants from this disciple?"
Daoist Hu said, "My sect doesn't care about aptitude and temperament, but it depends on fate. Whether or not the disciple is suitable, I need to see it personally."
Zhang Yu said, "I presume you've asked other Fellow Daoists before?"
Daoist Hu said, "There are a few, but eye seals aren't battle seals after all. One has to endure enough loneliness here, so very few people are willing to give it a try.
However, I have a benefit here that I haven't mentioned to anyone. For the sake of Governor Zhang, I can mention it. "
He paused for a moment and said slowly, "In my sect, if the opportunity is good enough, one can use it to ascend to the upper realm. Therefore, Governor Zhang, please don't worry. If a disciple enters my sect, it's not a dead end, but a great opportunity."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but size him up. He said, "Oh? How can Fellow Daoist be so sure? "
Daoist Hu said, "This is a secret of my sect, so forgive me for not being able to say it clearly. However, I can swear that what I said is absolutely true."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand Fellow Daoist's meaning. I will keep an eye out. If I see a suitable person, I will recommend him to Fellow Daoist."
Daoist Hu cupped his hands and bowed to him. He said, "Thank you very much, Governor Zhang. However, regardless of whether Governor Zhang can find a suitable person, it's rare for Governor Zhang to come here, so I can't let you leave empty-handed."
He took out a jade slip from his sleeve and said, "What's recorded here is not a seal, but just some of my private opinions on the cultivation of eye seals. If Governor Zhang doesn't mind, you can take a look at it. If you don't like it, you can also throw it away."
Zhang Yu reached out and took it. He glanced at it and put it in his sleeve. He said, "Sorry to disturb you." He stood up and bowed to Daoist Hu. Then, he turned around and walked down the high platform.
Kui Constellation Planet, Yue Guan Province.
Yingxiong walked down the platform of the flying boat. In addition to him, a young man with a huge backpack followed behind.
The young man looked at the high platforms distributed along the coast outside and exclaimed, "Mister, this is Kui Constellation Planet."
Yingxiong did not say anything. His scarlet eyes looked around and landed on a public map standing near the platform.
The young man looked left and right. He ran to a shop at the side and bought two big pears. Then, he ran to Yingxiong and held them up with each hand. He smiled happily and said, "Mister, look, they're so big."
Yingxiong took a look and did not say anything. As his black robe fluttered, he walked toward the platform where the flying car was parked.
"Mister, wait for me."
The young man hurriedly stuffed the pears. Then, he pulled his backpack and trotted with his short legs to catch up.
At the platform where the flying car was parked, a group of patrolmen came toward them. Seeing that Yingxiong was a cultivator, the patrolman captain reached out his hand. The whole group immediately moved aside and saluted in an orderly manner.
When the passengers near the flying car saw him, they also slowed down and let him go first.
Although the underground flying car was relatively safe, it was still possible to encounter danger halfway. These dangers were usually dealt with by the cultivators who carried the passengers. The lives of the passengers were often in the hands of these cultivators. Therefore, whether it was the passengers or the patrolmen at the station, they would show a certain degree of respect to the cultivators who were traveling with them.
Yingxiong did not respond and walked straight to the flying car. The young man behind him bowed to the soldiers on both sides and then followed while panting.
After the two of them sat down in a separate carriage, the young man put down his backpack and squeezed himself comfortably into the soft chair behind him. At this moment, he heard orderly footsteps. He sat up and looked outside.
He saw groups of armored soldiers walking up. Many of their damaged bodies were still stained with blood. They looked very fierce. He couldn't help but whisper, "Mister, they have a lot of blood on them."
Yingxiong said calmly, "It's not human."
"Not human?" The young man was full of curiosity.
At this moment, Ying Li took out a black medicine bottle and placed it on the table, saying, "Drink it."
The young man exclaimed. With a bitter face, he said in a low voice, "Can I not drink it?"
But under the gaze of Yingxiong's scarlet eyes, he could only obediently take the bottle and drink it. But then, he held his neck and coughed, as if he wanted to vomit something out.
There was no other reason. This thing was too bitter.
Yingxiong said, "Breathe."
"Oh, oh." The young man quickly sat up straight and adjusted his breathing. Soon, he entered a deep breathing state.
At this moment, the bell outside rang. The flying car slowly moved. Then, it gradually sped up and sped towards Ye Ya state.
