After Zhang Yu came down from the spell platform, he pondered over Xuan Zun's words.
On the surface, what he said seemed to be true. If one wanted to use the Xuan method to reach the Upper Realm, then the normal method would not work. Every Xuanxiu cultivator would create their own seals towards the end. Everyone had their own path, so there was no one to guide him. He could only rely on himself to walk the rest of the path.
This was also a principle that he had long understood. However, he thought about it again. Xuan Zun would not repeat this for no reason. If it was not purely based on his feelings, then perhaps he was reminding him of something.
However, when he thought about it, he realized that there were too many clues and it was difficult to sort them out.
Since that was the case, then there was no need to think too much about it. What should be done would be done. He was now firmly walking on this path according to his own thoughts. There was no need for him to be distracted.
Because Daoist Peng was originally a member of the Military Affairs Department, he entrusted this person who had yet to recover to the Military Affairs Department to take care of. He then left Heaven City and returned to Ye Ya Prefecture.
In less than a moment, he landed on his own rooftop. Miao Danjun saw him return and immediately jumped down from the platform. He came to him and meowed.
He rubbed the little leopard cat's head a few times and let it play by itself. Then, he sat down on the soft couch and took out a spell. Instantly, a cloud of jade mist spread out and covered the entire rooftop.
He then summoned with his mind and released the Purple Star Sand. His body was instantly enveloped by a layer of purple mist.
After doing all this, he took out the star bag left behind by Daoist Yue. He was ready to carefully examine what was inside.
Generally speaking, a cultivator's life force was connected to their star bag. Many people, once they died, their star bag would collapse and the items inside would be lost. However, this was not the case for this person. Therefore, he had to be careful to see if there was anything left behind.
At this time, he was also thinking in his heart. If he knew about formations, then he would not have to go through so much trouble. He did not need to be too proficient in it. As long as he understood how to control the formation plate and knew how to set up a formation here, it would be enough.
He nodded. It seemed that if he had the time, he would have to spend some time on this. That way, whether it was defending or encountering any kind of trapping array, he would be able to find a way to deal with it himself.
In a moment, he had already tried to open the star bag. With a turn of his consciousness, he discovered that there were quite a few scattered things inside, and many of them were things that he could not identify clearly.
He was very cautious and did not take them all out at once. Instead, he took them out one by one.
The first thing he took out was a wooden box that looked extremely ordinary. He held it with his heart light, and after examining it for a moment, he opened it. He saw that there was a thin jade tablet inside, and there were many strange talismans drawn on the surface of the jade tablet.
There were no abnormalities on it, and the material was very ordinary. It didn't look like a magic treasure.
He examined it. This jade tablet should be used to record some important things, and these strange talismans should be a kind of writing. They were somewhat similar to Taoist talismans. It was very likely that they were a variant of the talisman.
But what was it that was worthy of such a Solemnly matter, to the point of having another set of records?
He did not immediately delve into it, and planned to talk about it later.
He put this thing back into the box and placed it to the side. After examining it for a moment in the star bag, he took out a jade slip from it.
His consciousness entered it, and he was surprised to find that what was recorded inside was actually the Divine Art of Myriad Shadows that Taoist Yue himself cultivated.
This was very strange. Generally speaking, cultivators would rarely record their own techniques in such detail and carry them with them.
However, it was actually not a big deal if this thing was spread out. Because there was no key point of the mental cultivation method, and no oral instruction, ordinary people would not be able to learn it even if they took it.
Moreover, Divine Arts could only be obtained by those who were fated. Especially for True Cultivators, the relationship between master and disciple was more about fate. If they were not fated, they would not pass on their techniques. This was not because they were reluctant, but because even if a disciple had aptitude, if they were not compatible with the techniques passed down by their master, it would be useless even if they learned it, and they would not achieve much.
Just like the teacher who brought him in. Although he had taken in many disciples, and all of them had outstanding aptitude, none of them were able to learn his true techniques.
Even a genius like his Senior Apprentice Brother Tao Dingfu could only find a senior's cultivation method to cultivate, and it was also because of this reason.
But when he thought of this, he thought of a possibility.
Perhaps this person wanted to pass down his own Dao technique, so he left this Dao book behind.
Perhaps this jade slip had other mysteries hidden in it, and only those who were truly fated could see it, and he was not that fated person, so he could not see it.
Since that was the case, if he met a fated person in the future, he could casually pass it down.
He also placed the jade slip to the side, and continued to examine the remaining things.
Taoist Yue had left behind a lot of magic tools and talismans, and the majority of them were used for concealment and evasion. Previously, if it were not for the fact that they were in the void and there was nothing to hide, and there was nothing to use after the flying boat was destroyed, he might not have been able to keep them.
But when he was examining a pearl, this thing suddenly exploded, and a blinding light spilled out from within, enveloping his body. The surrounding Purple Star Sand actually released a sizzling sound, and in the blink of an eye, one-fifth of it was consumed.
That light also emitted an aura, which lingered for a long time before completely dispersing.
Zhang Yu calmly looked at it, and with a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the aura of light, and then continued to examine the other things inside. As he took out one item after another, he found a small book at the bottom.
Taking it out, he found that it should be a personal record written by Taoist Yue. It recorded some of the people and things he encountered in You City, and it also casually commented on various people.
The person mentioned the most was a Taoist named Xu Chengtong.
It seemed that the two of them were usually rivals, and Taoist Yue's words were full of disdain for this person, and he also criticized his actions, and these words took up a lot of space.
Then, the pen turned, and he wrote in detail about recent events, saying that You City suspected that Zhang Yu had obtained a Dao Seal, so he was sent to take charge of this matter. He sighed and said that if he failed, You City would not give up, and that Xu Chengtong would definitely take over.
After Zhang Yu read it, he had a feeling that this small book was deliberately left for him to read.
Especially about Xu Chengtong, the small book described in detail this person's magical powers and methods, and he did not tire of talking about his style of doing things, as if he was afraid that Mo Wuji did not understand him well enough.
He thought for a moment, and he understood a little.
This Taoist Yue had probably already considered the possibility of his failure, and thought that Xu Chengtong would definitely take over after this, so he wrote down everything about this person.
In short, if I'm finished, you won't have it easy either.
Zhang Yu shook his head. It seemed that the hatred between these two people was really deep. Even if he was finished, he did not forget to take advantage of the other person.
But it was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
He really learned a lot about You City's inside story from this book, and if You City was unwilling to give up, then the next person to come to him would inevitably be this Taoist Xu.
With this understanding in advance, it was much easier to guard against this.
Opening the booklet, he flipped through it again. What was left in the Astral Bag were some pills of various shapes and sizes. These things did not have much value to him. Generally, cultivators would not recklessly consume the medicines he concocted.
After reading it, he tidied up everything, put away the Jade Mist Star Sand, got up, walked down from the roof, and walked into the study.
During the days he was gone, he left a lot of letters on the table. Picking up and flipping through them, he found that one of them was sent by Yun Chen, so he picked it up and opened it. The letter said that the second batch of disciples was already coming to the outer layer.
He calculated the time and found that they should arrive in about two days.
Yun Chen also mentioned that he was looking for suitable disciples for someone, so among the cultivators who came this time, there were a few who were willing to give it a try.
He looked at the list and found that there was a familiar name in it. He thought about it and found that this person was suitable.
Whether he succeeded or not, he could give it a try.
Hong Yi Layer.
Daoist Zuo looked at the army of God's Descendants stationed on the field in front of him from the top of the city wall.
Before Zhang Yu left, he told him to take care of this lower level, so he had been guarding it. He did not expect that the other party would take advantage of the fact that Heaven City was empty to launch an attack.
This time, the number of enemies was secondary. The key was that there were many powerful Evil God's Descendants, and among them, there were the power projections of Shangchen's cultivators.
This was very difficult to deal with.
After the previous battle, many of the cultivators he brought with him had their power projections scattered several times in a row, and their own Qi activities were damaged. They could only recuperate on the upper level and could not come down to support them. Now, only a few disciples were left with him.
Looking at the movements of the other side, it was very likely that they would launch another attack in the next one or two days, and the next attack would be more difficult to deal with. But since Zhang Yu entrusted this place to him, he could not lose it.
He walked a few steps to Daoist Xingchuan, who was wiping his magic sword, and said, "Daoist Xingchuan, what do you think of the current situation?"
Daoist Xingchuan put down his sword, his eyes were still fixed on the front, and said, "Among the enemies, there is one who can be called our opponent, and the real body behind him is not weak either. But as long as you and I are still here, before the end of this month, this place will not be lost."
Daoist Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Although we can still deal with the current situation, there is no guarantee that the other side will not increase their manpower. We can't only rely on ourselves, we need to find a way to ask for help."
Daoist Xingchuan said calmly, "I heard that the army of the Military Department is on an expedition, and many of our fellow Daoists have followed. Are there any more people up there?"
Daoist Zuo said, "We have to give it a try, at least we have to report the situation here to the Patrol Officer."
He turned to look for one of his disciples, and said, "You go and inform Patrol Officer Zhang about the situation here. If the Patrol Officer is not here, then tell the people around him that the enemy's attack is fierce and they have big plans. We need more people to defend this place."
