When the light landed on him, Zhang Yu instantly felt as if he had entered another world.
However, he had the experience of entering the place where the Xuanting Book was presented. He could sense that the situation was somewhat similar to this, but it was not completely the same. It was as if his body was still in the same place, but his consciousness was immersed in this place.
He looked up and saw the light flowing around him. There seemed to be some kind of force trying to push him, as if the waves were surging over. He felt that he only needed to follow this force and go with the flow, then he would be able to see what he wanted to see.
However, he did not follow this force. This time, the so-called "fate" he obtained had been wavering between "human determination" and "heavenly fate".
He had carefully thought about the difference between these two, and that was the choice of his own mind.
Heavenly fate came first, and everything was destined. No matter what you did or what you paid, it was all arranged by heavenly fate. It was passive and unrestrained.
On the other hand, human determination came first because he firmly believed that human strength could change everything. Even if it was heavenly fate, he could fight for it himself. It was positive and progressive.
For example, this time, when he went to listen to the Xuanting Method, if he put the fate in front, then the two were originally destined, and that was why he came here. However, from his personal point of view, it was because he wanted to go, and that was why he came here.
Also, just now, he felt that the obstruction on the jade lotus would only be dissolved after three days. If he followed fate, he could wait for a full three days, and then he could smoothly see what was inside.
However, he did not follow this fate. Instead, he actively searched for a way to break through it. Now, he even entered this place a day earlier. This was human determination.
This was a pure Dao heart and thought, as well as his own way of doing things. If he could do it, then it was his own will, and it had nothing to do with external forces.
If he repeatedly hesitated and blindly believed that fate came first, then he would only deny his own existence, and then deny the Great Dao.
Therefore, he did not pay attention to the forces outside pushing him. Instead, he used his heart to sense and search for the mystery in this place. If he could find the fate in this place, then that would be the best. If he could not find it, then he would not go along with it.
After a while, he sensed that there was something in front of him. Thus, he ignored the ripples and went in search of his own path.
After a long time, he felt the waves suddenly disperse. Looking up, he saw a seal with a turbid light floating in front of him. At the same time, a thought was transmitted into his mind.
For a moment, he only felt that various profundities came one after another. Although he was unable to completely understand the profundities behind this, he felt that as long as he fused with this seal, he would be able to ascend to the upper realm.
He now understood why those cultivators who had obtained the Fate Law in the past had never heard of anyone becoming a Mystique Venerable Rank with this. It was because a cultivator must have a sufficient foundation to bear this seal. With his current cultivation base, he was only barely able to satisfy it.
However, at the same time, he was able to sense that this wasn't the path of the Profound Art as he had originally imagined. Instead, it was a pure path of the Profound Art.
In other words, regardless of whether one was a True Cultivator or a Xuanxiu cultivator, if they followed this path, they would have to change to the Profound Art. However, this path pointed out the direction. Even if the person seeking the Dharma of Fate didn't have enough Divine Vitality, there would still be a seal bestowed by a mighty figure of the upper realm to fill the remaining gap and help them pass. Thus, they wouldn't become a chaotic monster.
The path to the heavens was right in front of him, but he stood there and didn't step out.
This was because this wasn't his own path, but the path of his predecessors.
If he walked over, he would never be able to surpass the method of his predecessors. In the future, he would only be able to follow behind the predecessors who had opened up this path.
At this moment, he remembered that Xuan Zun had once said to him, "Ordinary methods don't work. Believe in yourself and not others." He deeply agreed.
That mighty figure wouldn't fill in the gaps for you for no reason. Instead, he would want you to pay for it.
He glanced at the seal and said, "This method isn't my method, and this path isn't my path."
After he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back. As he stepped out of the light, the seal behind him shook twice and suddenly shattered.
Almost at the same time, a Daoist who was sitting on the spell platform of Kuisu Heavenly City suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him, there were densely packed jade pillars. At this moment, one of them suddenly broke.
The Daoist's golden-red eyes stared at the jade pillar. After flickering for a moment, they disappeared again.
After Zhang Yu came out of the light, he saw that the jade lotus in front of him had also turned into pieces of crystal and shattered on the ground. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. It was as if he had gotten rid of something.
At this moment, he heard the sound of thunder outside. Then, there was the sound of beans being fried on the high platform. It was raining heavily.
He got up and went to the rooftop. Above the glass dome was the sky condensed by clouds and mist. The Earth Province became vague under the curtain of heavy rain. Everything was covered by a layer of veil.
He looked for a while and sat cross-legged on the spot. He asked Qing Xi to make a cup of tea. He opened the Daoist book and read it. Miao Danjun leaned over and sat next to him.
The heavy rain came and went quickly. At this moment, looking outside, the clouds and haze were all gone. The rain moistened the blue sky.
At this time, Li Qinghe walked up to the rooftop and came close. He bowed and said, "Sir, the two young masters have been settled."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "They will live here for the next year. However, whether they can stay for a long time depends on them."
Li Qinghe had followed him from the East Court until now. He knew his thoughts and immediately understood how to treat these two people. He replied, "Qinghe understands."
Zhang Yu asked, "How's the matter of the inner layer?"
Li Qinghe said, "Qing Mo is still in the Daoist book. It should not be ready yet. Several suitable residences have been found in Tanquan City. Sir, you still need to make the final decision."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Tanquan City when I have time."
Li Qinghe waited for a while. Seeing that he had no more orders, he bowed again and left.
At this time, Miao Danjun suddenly turned his body and stared at a corner.
Zhang Yu reached out and rubbed his little head. He said, "Deacon Xu, is there a result?"
A light flashed in the room. Xu Chengtong's figure slowly appeared. He said, "Patrol Officer, I have investigated and found that the flying boat landed on Tanquan City after leaving the Divine Gate. It also tried to cover its aura.
From the looks of it, the people above have entered a military encampment somewhere in Kui Su. This Xu is currently in the midst of investigating, but there may be some obstructions, so I came to report first. "
Zhang Yu, "Deacon Xu can do it without worry, but if you want to make a move, don't kill people."
Xu Chengtong said, "Patrol Officer, don't worry. His figure flashed and disappeared. It turned out that the person who came just now was a spirit projection that came to report.
At this moment, below the high platform, Qing Shu had already turned back after taking Huang Zhixing to the Military Department. After he entered the gate, he walked toward An Zhizhi's residence on the high platform.
When he arrived at the door, he saw An Zhizhi instructing Wei Shan to place the tools and creations he brought from the stomach in the room. Although An Zhizhi was young, he sorted all kinds of things in a very orderly way.
He stood at the door for a while and said, "After today, there will only be one day left. If you want to be whipped, you can continue to dawdle."
An Zhizhi couldn't help but remember that he hadn't even seen the book. He couldn't help but panic, but he said, "I can learn it in one day."
Qing Shu said, "Then I will wait and see."
At this time, he noticed Wei Shan showing an envious look. He said, "If you want to learn, you can learn together."
Wei Shan was pleasantly surprised. "Can I?"
Qing Shu said, "This isn't a profound method. You can't learn anything profound. I will come and check the day after tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he left.
At this moment, on the stomach planet, inside the An family's mansion, a beautiful woman was respectfully welcomed in.
This woman looked to be in her thirties. She had a plump figure and fair skin. She was dressed in a light-colored robe and her hair was combed into a cloud bun, revealing her smooth and full forehead. Her nose was tall and elegant, and coupled with her serious expression, her originally delicate face had an additional sense of aggressiveness.
When she reached the main hall, An Song was already waiting there. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Guo, please take a seat."
The woman surnamed Guo bowed and then sat down. Immediately, a servant brought in a cup of tea.
She looked over and said with a slightly reproachful tone, "An Zhizhi is a student I have high hopes for. How can you send him to be a student of someone else?"
An Song pondered for a moment and waved his hand. The servant at the side retreated. He said, "Master Guo, I won't hide it from you. We can't afford to offend that person."
The woman surnamed Guo said unhappily, "Didn't I say that you said that you can come to me if you have any difficulties?"
An Song shook his head and said, "That was the Xuanting Patrol Officer who urged us through the Military Affairs Department. Moreover, there wasn't enough time to go back and forth."
The woman surnamed Guo said, "But little Zhizhi didn't violate the law. It was just some playful things. It didn't have to be like this."
An Song said, "I know. That person only accepted my grandson as a student and didn't say anything about punishment."
The woman surnamed Guo frowned and said, "Master An, you're a master craftsman. Don't you understand that Zhizhi's talent is outstanding? It's not an exaggeration to say that he only appears once in a hundred years. If he continues on the path of creation, he'll be someone who can change the structure of creation in the future."
An Song said, "Master Guo, the An family has been craftsmen for two generations, and you're also a master craftsman. I'm sure you can understand that no matter how skilled a master craftsman is and how great his future is, there's always a limit. However, it's different for cultivators. With Zhizhi's talent, isn't it better for him to cultivate?"
In the past, there were cultivators who wanted to accept An Zhizhi as a disciple. However, An Song didn't think that those cultivators could teach him well. However, Zhang Yu was different. He was famous, powerful, and had a high status. Where could they find such a teacher?
The woman surnamed Guo suddenly said, "That Patrol Officer Zhang is Xuanxiu."
An Song looked at her doubtfully.
The woman surnamed Guo said with a solemn expression, "The world is changing. Those cultivators, those Xuanxiu, have exhausted their potential and are going downhill. Only creation is the future. Master An, if you insist on your opinion, you'll definitely regret your choice in the future."
An Song said, "Even if it's like what Master Guo said, now that things have come to this, I'm afraid there's no turning back."
He just said it casually, but the woman surnamed Guo seemed to take it seriously. She said seriously, "No, some things can't be changed." She stood up and bowed, saying, "I've troubled you today. Goodbye."
An Song stood up to see her off. He couldn't help but shake his head as he watched her leave.
