Zhang Yu called out and summoned the Great Dao Manuscript. Suddenly, a light screen that was slightly more turbid than the Xuan Manuscript appeared beside him.
Then, he looked at the empty space of the Xuan Manuscript and his mind fell on it. As the Divine Essence in his body continued to flow, a seal seal slowly appeared. It emitted a misty light and the words "Illuminate Pill" appeared on it.
Once this seal was formed, light scattered down. It lasted for a long time before it retreated.
At this point, he had already obtained the last seal that he was going to use as the core seal.
Therefore, he no longer hesitated and prepared to fill in the seal today and use it to complete the entire visualization diagram.
With a thought, starlight scattered on the ground. The Mysterious Cicada Visualization Diagram had already appeared above his head.
He sat still for a moment. As his aura changed, the Mysterious Cicada turned into light spots and scattered in all directions. His entire body was like a rain of light. At this time, the six seals on the Xuan Manuscript released waves of bright light.
What appeared on the Xuan Manuscript was the "Word Seal" that represented the cicada's cry, the "Yuan Xiang Seal" that represented the cicada's body, and the "Light Capturing Seal" that represented the cicada's feet.
What appeared on the Xuan Manuscript was the "Sword Seal" that represented the cicada's wings, the "Divine Perception Seal" that represented the cicada's god, and the "Illuminate Pill" seal that represented the cicada's eyes.
When the light came over, it gathered above his head and formed a ball of light mist.
The light mist spun for a moment. First, a pair of wings that were as brilliant as the Milky Way stretched out from within. Then, two bright lights shone in all directions. Accompanied by the sound of a cicada that made one's heart tremble, the light mist slowly dissipated. The Mysterious Cicada also slowly appeared from within.
The light gathered on its wings, its body was wrapped in a faint aura, and its feet were covered in jade mist. On the cicada's head, two eyes had appeared. They were like jade reflecting glass, overflowing with brilliance.
The cicada's eyes were like the finishing touch. The entire visualization diagram also became more realistic.
Zhang Yu looked up. At this point, the core six seals of the visualization diagram had been completed. However, it was only when one reached the next level that the visualization diagram would be reincarnated.
These days, he had been reading the Taoist books and jade slips that Xuanting had given him. Inside, it talked about the best way for a Taoist cultivator to achieve success. It was the "Three Elements Method" that Tao Dingfu had once told him.
Because the Method of Three Elements was completely dependent on a cultivator's cultivation and did not involve anything else, not only Zhenxiu but also Xuanxiu could be used.
However, the Daoist books and jade slips did not mention whether he could reach the Upper Realm through this method, so he could not be sure. But what was certain was that once the Three Elemental Arts were mastered, then a cultivator's understanding of their own Dao would definitely reach an unprecedented level. They would also be able to see the path ahead more clearly, and they might even be able to glimpse the true path.
Therefore, on the Jade Slip that Xuanting gave him, there was a note that said, "The only way to understand oneself is to seek the three elements."
However, this was actually just a lament of the person who wrote the note, because there were not many Zhenxiu cultivators who sought the Three Elements. At most, they could only achieve one or two of them. Those who achieved perfection in all three elements were few and far between, let alone Xuanxiu.
Zhang Yu had thought about it. Those Xuan Zun cultivators who achieved success with the Xuan technique might not necessarily have walked the Three Elements Method. Other than this, there should be other methods to reach the Upper Realm.
However, those were only the Xuan Zun cultivators' paths, not his own.
He believed that the Three Elements Dharma Eye was the most suitable path for him. If he succeeded, he would have a great chance to see his own Dao clearly.
These Three Elements were respectively "Inner and Outer Illumination", "Divine Technique Sufficient", and "All Selves Complete".
Inner and Outer Illumination required one to understand the Dao of Inner and Outer Illumination. In the past, when he fought with Bai Xiu, the latter obtained this Yuan, so he tried to understand it. It could be said that he knew the most about it.
The law of "Mastery of Divine Magic" required the cultivator to cultivate his own magic power to perfection.
When a cultivator wanted to reach the Upper Realm, they needed a firm and solid foundation to be able to support their climb. If the foundation wasn't stable, even if they forced their way up, they would still fall. Therefore, it was necessary to have sufficient magic power to reach the Upper Realm.
This seemed very simple, but in fact, it wasn't easy.
For a Zhenxiu cultivator, magic power needed to be cultivated and accumulated bit by bit. The further one progressed, the more difficult it was to cultivate. This was not only a test of one's current cultivation, but also one's previous accumulation. It could be said that every stage of cultivation before the primordial spirit was closely related to this.
For those who were impatient for success, or whose cultivation was shallow, or whose cultivation method was relatively inferior, they would need ten times or even a hundred times the time to make up for it. Therefore, it wasn't strange for them to be stuck here for several hundred years.
Mystics, on the other hand, were different in this regard. There were two main aspects. The first was that the Seal of the Light of the Heart had to be perfected. The second was that the Seal of the Heart had to be perfected. The Seal of the Heart had to be perfected, and the Seal of the Heart had to be perfected.
For example, Daoist Hu only focused on the Eye Seal. If he had a request, then he only needed to work on the Eye Seal.
However, for those who could cultivate to the fourth chapter, the majority couldn't just focus on cultivation. They had to have a Dao Protection Technique. Therefore, most of them had two to three seals, and there were even some who had four to five seals.
In order to make these seals complete, there had to be enough Divine Vitality to fill them.
However, other than the Seal of Xuanxiu, there were definitely other seals that needed to be cultivated. Therefore, this wasn't something easy to achieve. This Yuan was enough to stop the majority of people.
However, this hurdle wasn't too big of a problem for some people. For example, Ji Xiao Lang. He had six seals and was full of Divine Vitality. As long as there was enough preparation and coordination in the process of cultivation, then it would be very easy to achieve.
However, achieving this didn't mean that he would be able to obtain this Yuan. This was because the Three-Yuan Technique mainly focused on the cultivation of Dao. After the Divine Technique was perfected, one also needed the cultivation of Dao to keep up. Only then would one be able to obtain this Yuan.
For Zhang Yu, his cultivation of Dao was already enough. What he needed to do next was to push the Seal of Heart's Light and the Seal of Six Righteous Seals to perfection.
However, it was obviously not enough for him to rely on himself to extract Divine Vitality for these seals. Therefore, he still needed to find ways to gather them.
The only difficult part of the Three-Yuan Technique was the "Complete Self". This was the step that more than ninety percent of cultivators were stuck at.
Recently, when he was reading Dao books, he was also pondering this technique. According to the notes of his predecessors, he had already faintly grasped the knack of it. There was one thing that he could be sure of. If he didn't ask for the "Inner and Outer Illumination" and "Complete Divine Technique", then he naturally wouldn't be able to obtain this Yuan.
Since this was the case, he decided to obtain these two Yuan first.
First, the "Inner and Outer Illumination" technique.
He had already heard about this when he was in Qingyang. For a long time, he had also been asking himself why he pursued Dao.
This was clear. Naturally, he pursued longevity, perfection, and transcendence. This wasn't too different from other cultivators. However, the difference was that he didn't think that cultivators should leave the world.
Cultivators were first and foremost human. Then, they cultivated Dao. The human nature was also rooted in themselves. He felt that there was no need to deliberately throw away this point.
Such a body came from his parents. The knowledge that he had was taught by his teachers. The world that he could cultivate in was maintained by Tianxia. Therefore, if he succeeded, he should naturally repay it. He shouldn't just walk away and look down on those below him as a commoner.
As for the way to repay, it seemed that only the Xuan Technique could do so. Therefore, if he achieved the upper realm in the future, he must promote the Xuan Technique and let the people of Tianxia have this door to enter Dao.
At this moment, it could be said to be his wish, but it could also be said to be his Dao.
The two of them complemented each other and were closely connected.
As soon as he made up his mind, he sensed the connection between the inside and the outside. Immediately, a strand of energy surged out from his mind. A layer of misty light appeared around him as well. Rays of light radiated outwards. It was like the first rays of the sun in the inner room. The Cicada's Cry and Skystarker on the table seemed to have sensed something as well, and they emitted clear and melodious cries.
He understood in his heart that in that moment earlier, he had already obtained the "Inner and Outer Illumination" technique.
This was also the result of his accumulation over a long period of time. This "Inner Illumination" technique required a cultivator to be clear about the path they should take. As long as their Dao Heart was firm and their cultivation of Dao was sufficient, they would naturally be able to pass it.
He sensed for a moment. After obtaining this "Inner Illumination" technique, his Heart Force hadn't increased by much. However, when he circulated it, there were no obstructions at all. His mind and qi were extremely smooth.
If it was said that he had been carrying a heavy load in the past and occasionally bumped into obstacles, then now, he seemed to have removed some sort of burden.
Although there weren't any fundamental changes, he could sense that in a true battle, whether it was his ability to circulate his Dao or use his Heart Force, they were all firmly superior to his previous self.
He had only obtained this "Inner Illumination" technique, yet there were already such great changes. One could truly imagine what it would be like to obtain all three "Inner Illumination" techniques.
After inspecting it for a while, he withdrew his Heart Force. Since he had obtained the "Inner and Outer Illumination" technique, then the next step would be to obtain the "Divine Technique" technique.
This required a large amount of Divine Essence.
Moreover, he could sense that besides the perfect Heart Seal and Six Seals, once he stepped onto the path of breaking through, it was extremely likely that he would require Divine Essence as well. Thus, he had to speed up his search.
After arriving at the outer layer, he actually hadn't relaxed his pursuit in this aspect. However, now it seemed that searching from the lower layer was the most convenient, and he had to pay attention to the inner layer as well. He still remembered the fragments of the "Ring of Creation". If he could find a portion of it, then he would be able to save a lot of effort.
After he calmed down, he raised his head and saw the time on the Time Dial. To his surprise, he discovered that he had actually unknowingly entered seclusion for three days.
He didn't continue to sit still. With a shake of his sleeves, he stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
When Li Qinghe saw him coming out of seclusion, he bowed and said, "Sir, a Xuanxiu named Nangong came to look for you the day before yesterday. However, he heard that you were in seclusion, so he said that he would wait for you at the inn. He also gave you this." As he spoke, he handed over a talisman book with both hands.
Zhang Yu took it and opened it. His heart skipped a beat. What was written on it was the seal of the Xuanting Advisor, and the name "Nangong Shu" was written on it.
He thought for a moment. The Xuanting Advisors were solely responsible for the Xuanting. Usually, they wouldn't take the initiative to contact other Advisors. The Xuanting also forbade the Advisors from contacting each other.
Although there was no explicit rule that forbade them from contacting him, the Xuanting Advisor, they would usually take the initiative to avoid arousing suspicion. Now that they suddenly came to find him, something must have happened.
He thought for a moment and said, "Qinghe, go and invite this person here."
