After the new year, Zhang Yu had been cultivating in his residence. During this period, no one came to disturb him, so he enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
Every day during the day, he breathed in and out, extracting Divine Essence. As his cultivation progressed, his foundation became more solid, and the amount of Divine Essence he could extract also increased by a lot. However, this was far from enough for the goal he wanted to achieve.
Therefore, at night, he would absorb Origin Energy from the crystal jade. Every time he gained something, he would put it into the Six Seals and the Heart Seal. In this way, his cultivation improved again this month.
Although he was still far from the perfect state of "Divine Technique Mastery", he was gradually getting closer. At this moment, it was as if he was looking across the river, and he could already see the other side.
During this period, he sent Li Qinghe to see Daoist Zuo and the others. However, their consciousness was still immersed in the lower levels, so they didn't ask any more questions.
While he was cultivating peacefully, in Tanquan City, a green-robed Daoist walked into the Guangsheng Palace, which only True Cultivators could live in.
As he walked into a certain palace, the cultivators in the hall all stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Welcome, Teacher Cao."
Daoist Cao looked around and waved his sleeve, saying, "No need for formalities." He then asked, "Is Chang Er here?"
A cultivator with two large ears walked out, saying, "Disciple is here."
Daoist Cao said, "I am at the Kui Residence. Tell me about the Xuanxiu juniors in the Kui Residence that are worth paying attention to."
Chang Er said yes, then turned around and gave an order. Immediately, a disciple brought over a painting and unfolded it in front of Daoist Cao. Among them, Shi Yanxin, Liang Yi, Yao Zhenjun, and the others were impressively listed.
He walked to the side and pointed, saying, "Teacher Cao, please take a look. Disregarding the other constellations, disciple believes that in the Kui Residence, the ones who are likely to become the Xuan Zun in the future are these people."
He pointed at Shi Yanxin and Liang Yi and said, "These two are Xuan Zun's disciples, so there's no need to talk about them. Yao Zhenjun's aptitude is also outstanding. She hasn't suffered a single defeat since she started practicing. I suspect that she has another destiny. However, among these people, I believe that the one who has the highest chance of reaching the upper realm is still this person. "
He moved to the side. What was displayed here was Zhang Yu's painting, but it was not placed together with the others. Instead, it was displayed separately.
"This Zhang Yu was conferred the title of Patrol Protector by Xuanting. Originally, it was Xuanfu Xuanzheng of Qingyang Upper Continent. Even now, he still holds this position and is highly valued by Xuanfu.
In terms of cultivation, this person is far superior to his peers. Based on his past achievements, I don't know about the other constellations, but in the Kui Residence alone, no one can compare to him. "
Daoist Cao took a few steps forward and looked at Zhang Yu's painting. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Surprise flashed across his eyes, and he said, "I know this person. Because of him, Yu Chang was imprisoned by Xuanting. It's also because of Yu Chang's absence that we can rest assured and come here."
Then, he sneered, "If he wasn't also a Xuanxiu, I would have to congratulate him."
Chang Er said, "That was a long time ago. Since then, this person has done a few more great things."
He then told them about Zhang Yu's attack on Guo Planet, his killing of Lu Xuanhe, who had almost reached the Xuan Zun realm, and his recent achievements of setting foot in You City alone, breaking through the city in one day, and returning in the same day.
Although the people standing below knew about these things, they were still overwhelmed by emotion when they heard it from him. Although they stood on different sides, they were still secretly impressed.
After hearing this, Daoist Cao looked at the painting again. Solemnly, he said, "He's indeed impressive." Then, he said in a low voice, "However, the more people like him are the greater enemies of our generation in the future."
He looked at the paintings, and when his gaze landed on them, they all burst into flames. He looked at the crowd and said, "Zhengqing Grandmaster Hongzheng's wish is to restore the Huanzhen Method to the world. However, these Xuanxiu talents are obstacles on our path. We can't let them successfully ascend to the upper realm. They should be suppressed and eliminated!"
With that, he waved his sleeve again, and Zhang Yu's painting turned into a pile of ashes.
Zhang Yu immersed himself in cultivation and ignored the outside world. In the middle of February, he received a letter from the Military Affairs Department of Kui Mansion.
In the letter, it said that You City had been cleaned up, and all the cultivators in You City were either captured or killed. However, You City could not be left in its original place. It needed to be sent to the vicinity of Kui Mansion to be dealt with.
Therefore, they wanted to ask him to make another trip to activate You City's restriction so that the city could fly.
He was not willing to interfere with the matters here. After thinking about it, he decided to hand the jade to the Military Affairs Department and let them deal with the matter themselves.
Coincidentally, he could find time to do something else.
During the New Year Festival, he had sent a congratulatory letter to Xue Lin, who was good at setting up formations. Later on, he received a reply saying that Xue Lin would be free during the second and third months and would be waiting for him in his cave residence. Therefore, this time he was prepared to pay him a visit.
Just as he was about to set off, he received another letter. It was from Yu Ruiqing. She said that the guardian of Stomach Mansion, Xuan Zun, would be holding a lecture in the fourth month of this year. She asked if he was interested in going to listen to the lecture.
He thought about it. There was still more than a month until then. He could wait for a reply. After keeping the letter, he set off for Yi Wei Tian City.
This time, he brought Xu Chengtong with him. This person's cultivation was profound, and he was made by him. If there were any inconvenient matters, he could ask him to do it.
After traveling for a while, the white boat arrived at Tian City.
Zhang Yu had Xu Chengtong wait on the flying boat. He went to the Military Affairs Department's main hall to see Hong Yuanqiu and handed the jade to him. However, when he came out, he heard Xuan Zun's voice in his ear, "Patrol Officer, please come up."
He recognized that it was Xuan Zun's voice. His heart skipped a beat. He went up to the platform and saw Xuan Xuan Zun standing there. He cupped his hands and said, "Xuan Zun greets you."
Xuan Zun nodded and said, "I've already destroyed the clone of the person behind You City. I'm fine here, but you're involved. If this person senses you in the future, I'm afraid he'll cause trouble for you. Do you have the talisman I gave you before?"
Zhang Yu said, "It's with me." Xuan Zun gave him two talismans. One was melted, and the other was used to break seals. He still had it with him.
Xuan Zun said, "Give it to me."
Zhang Yu took out the talisman. Xuan Zun took it and pressed it. The talisman turned into a jade talisman in an instant. He waved his sleeve and sent the jade talisman back. If you're trapped in the future, this will help you escape. "
Zhang Yu took the jade talisman and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Xuan Zun."
Xuan Zun did not say anything and turned around.
Zhang Yu knew that he was asking him to leave. He went down from Tian City and returned to the white boat. He then went through Tanquan City and headed to Golden Roc State, which was located east of Tanquan City.
After traveling in the right direction for a while, he saw a cliff in front of him. Below, white waves rolled and crashed against the cliff. Above, birds circled.
At the top of the cliff, there was an Immortal's Cave. The entrance of the cave faced the sea, and there was also a boat landing platform.
He steered the white boat closer and landed there. He got off the boat and walked along the stairs into the Immortal's Cave. After a hundred steps, the walls of the cave gradually became flat and spacious. After turning a corner, he found that there was a seal here. There were many words engraved on the walls of the cave.
He looked at it and found that the method to break the seal was written on it. However, it was only a hint. The specifics depended on how the person did it.
He had heard of this arrangement before. Among the cultivators who were good at formations, this thing was called the 'Knock on the Door'. When fellow cultivators visited each other, they would first break the seal to show their respect.
Since that was the case, he did as the Romans did. He looked at it carefully and found that the seal was not complicated. After thinking for a while, he knew how to get through the seal.
He shook his sleeve and walked in. After a dozen steps, he exited the seal. However, when he looked up, he saw that another seal had appeared in front of him. The method to break the seal was also written on the side.
After looking at it for a while, he straightened out his thoughts and stepped in. Not long after, he succeeded. However, when he exited the seal, he found that there was another seal. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.
At this moment, inside the Immortal's Cave, a thin Daoist in a brown robe was sitting there reading a book.
A servant came and said, "Mister Pu, there was movement in the seal outside. Perhaps a visitor came to visit Mister First."
Daoist Pu said indifferently, "Do you know who came?"
The servant said, "It's Patrol Officer Zhang who sent a letter to Mister First a few days ago. Should we open the door and let him in? "
Hearing this, Daoist Pu paused and then said with a chuckle, "Let him slowly break the seal there. If he wants to learn our formation, he must know the formations outside. Now that we're opening it to him, it's for his own good."
The servant knew that if it was a true cultivator, this person would have come out to greet him. However, it was Xuanxiu who came. This person's heart was distant. He wanted to go inside and ask, but Daoist Pu's gaze turned to him and said unhappily, "What, do you have anything else to say?"
The servant did not dare to say more and said, "No, no." He then bowed and retreated.
After Zhang Yu saw the seal again, he did not plan to slowly pass through it. This was not how a master treated a guest. Even if the other party did not want to see him, he would not do this.
He had heard before that Xue Lin had a Junior Martial Brother who was hostile to Xuanxiu. Whenever Xuanxiu came, this person would be hostile. If it were not for Xue Lin's face, he would have been beaten to death. This time, it was very likely that this person was the one who did it.
It was easy to break this situation. He just had to shake the sword light outside and alert the cave. However, there was no need for him to do this now. He walked directly inside. Every time he encountered a seal, the jade talisman Xuan Zun gave him would flash and suppress the seal, allowing him to pass through directly.
This time, he was even more certain that someone was making things difficult for him. Because on the way, he passed through eighty-one seals in a row. Who would let a guest pass through all these seals?
Daoist Pu was reading a book inside, but at this time, he sensed the commotion outside. His expression changed. He stood up and hurried to the outer hall. When he saw Zhang Yu enter, he could not help but reveal a trace of surprise. Then, he composed himself and asked loudly, "This is a private cave. How can Your Excellency enter without permission?"
