After New Year's Eve, it was the 381st year of the Great Xuan Calendar.
Zhang Yu stayed in his residence in Taiyang Academy until the fifth day of the new year. Only then did he leave the hustle and bustle and return to the white boat.
He came to the main cabin and sat down. With a call in his heart, he summoned the Grand Dao chapter.
He looked at the "Seal of Righteous Self". After delaying for a few days, it was time to complete this seal.
With a thought, he channeled his Divine Essence into it.
As the Divine Essence filled it, the "Seal of Righteous Self" also became brighter and brighter. As the seal gradually became complete, there was a flow of light on it, like a flash of lightning in the dark night. Then, a ray of light cast down and shone on his body.
At this moment, he felt that his surroundings seemed to darken.
He seemed to have sensed something and looked up. In the darkness, he saw a person who looked like him walking towards him.
It seemed to be another him, but it also seemed like it wasn't.
This person didn't stop. He came close to him, and then walked to where he was as if he didn't see him. Then, he turned around and sat down. The two of them also became one.
At this moment, the light on the seal also dissipated.
Zhang Yu looked up, and there seemed to be a brilliant silver star flashing in his eyes. At this moment, he felt a comfortable and peaceful feeling that he had never felt before. As his aura flowed, it gave birth to all kinds of mysterious and strange sounds, like the eternal waves beating the shore, and also like the celestial spirits playing on the distant mountain peaks.
At the same time, he felt that the world in front of him seemed to have an illusory feeling. He couldn't help but want to break away from it and find the reality that his body and mind thought was real.
He knew that this was because he had made progress on the path of cultivation. He had taken a step forward to make himself whole, and this had caused him to reject the world even more.
However …
He looked at the Grand Dao chapter. Although the "Seal of Righteous Self" had been completed, he didn't obtain the third element because of it. Or rather, the third element wasn't complete.
He looked at the top of the seal and saw that another seal had been derived there. Obviously, there was still some flaw here. If he wanted to go down, he had to continue to fill in the seal.
He wasn't disappointed. Now that he had enough Divine Essence, he could just fill in the seal again.
In fact, it was a good thing that there was such a change. He didn't have to search for the missing parts on his own.
Hence, with a thought, he also channeled his Divine Energy into it. The seal also gradually lit up, and at this moment, the two words "Self Restraint" also gradually appeared on it.
However, when he saw that he was about to complete the seal, he realized that no matter how he pushed it, he couldn't complete it.
He couldn't help but be surprised. and Divine essence, Divine Essence. His mind was clear, and his mind was clear.... this question, the answer immediately reflected in his heart.
This wasn't because of Zhang Yin or himself, but because the world he was in right now wasn't suitable.
.... it............... Time................
Time flew by, and after the fifteenth day of the month, the New Year was almost over. The entire Governor-General Manor began its new year's work.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu ordered his subordinates to pack up and prepare to set off in a few days. For the past few days, other than doing his necessary homework, he had been flipping through Daoist books.
Although he had read the Daoist book many times, every time he made progress in his cultivation, he would read it again and gain something different.
Qing Shu walked to the rooftop and said, "Teacher, Deacon Xu is here."
Zhang Yu said, "Let him in."
Xu Chengtong walked in and bowed. "Greetings, Patrol Protector."
Zhang Yu said, "Have a seat, Deacon Xu."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly said, "How can I sit in front of the Governor?"
Zhang Yu didn't force him. He said, "Is there a result from Xuanfu?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Yes, Xuanfu has investigated the two people. They are both cultivators who worship Zhengqing's Daoist intent."
Zhang Yu asked, "Are they not Zhengqing's disciples?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Judging from the two's past, they are not. They have nothing to do with each other's disciples. However, their elders used to have dealings with Zhengqing's disciples. Later, when Zhengqing was expelled, their masters were also punished to a certain extent and went silent. "
At this time, he said angrily, "I thought that this generation would abandon evil and turn to good, but I didn't expect that they were still doing such sneaky things in secret. They really don't give up their evil intentions and have no sense of shame! I despise this kind of people the most! "
Zhang Yu also knew that the Zhengqing lineage did not only consist of the Zhengqing Patriarch's disciples. It was impossible for him to destroy the Xuan lineage and revive the Zhen lineage alone. In fact, this lineage had a large number of supporters behind it, both in the open and in the dark.
These people were all using Zhengqing's name to do things. However, some of them were indeed secretly plotting to destroy Xuanxiu and restore the original structure of Zhenxiu. Some of them were just casually shouting, but in fact, they were purely using this name for their own personal gain.
He looked at Xu Chengtong and said, "Deacon Xu, do you think this generation can succeed?"
Xu Chengtong said seriously, "Governor, when Xuanting established the Xingyang branch of Xuanxiu, it was opposed by many cultivators. Even my teacher was one of them. However, it was based on practical considerations.
Later, it was proven that this was an action in accordance with the Way of Heaven. Xuanxiu did indeed bear the heavy responsibility and made Tianxia prosper. However, Zhengqing's branch moved against the trend and went against the Way of Heaven. It was absolutely impossible for them to succeed! "
He said a long and eloquent speech and thought, "Sooner or later, Governor will become the Xuan Zun. Even if all the Xuanxiu in the world die, the Xuan Zun will be fine. I just need to follow Governor closely."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. In fact, in his opinion, what happened back then was not so much in accordance with the Way of Heaven. It was better to say that people followed the Way of Heaven.
The matter of cultivation was always in accordance with the Way of Heaven. It was not a matter of one's will to the end.
After asking Xu Chengtong to leave, he continued to read the book. However, today was destined to not be peaceful. After noon, Qing Shu came to report again, "Governor, Xuanfu sent a message saying that the new Town Guardian has arrived, but this Town Guardian wants to see you."
Zhang Yu asked, "What does he want to see me for?"
Qing Shu said, "It's said that it's about Ji Shouzhen. He wants to ask Teacher, so when is it convenient for you?"
Zhang Yu said, "Go and tell Xuanfu that I will be leaving Dongting in two days. If this Gongsun Shouzhen wants to see me, tell him to come here."
Qing Shu said, "Yes, Qing Shu will reply accordingly."
However, he did not expect that Gongsun Shouzhen would come to find him in less than a summer.
This person looked to be in his thirties. He wore a dark green Daoist robe with bamboo leaf patterns. His face looked elegant and easy-going, and he had the aura of a scholar.
When he saw Zhang Yu, he took the initiative to bow and say, "Governor Zhang, I am Gongsun Shao. Greetings."
When Zhang Yu heard him mention his position, he knew that this person most likely had some background in Xuanting. Moreover, his purpose for coming today was probably not so simple.
After returning the greeting, he invited this person to sit down and said, "I have told Emissary Bi everything about Fellow Daoist Ji. Does Gongsun Shouzhen have anything else to ask?"
Gongsun Shao said, "I did hear about Ji Shouzhen from Emissary Bi. Please do not take offense. This person is just an excuse for me to talk to you. However, this matter does have something to do with Ji Shouzhen."
Although this person looked elegant, when he spoke, his voice was strong and coherent. It was obvious that he was a person with a firm will. Once he made a decision, he would resolutely carry it out.
He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I have seen Emissary Bi's report. I also know that before the Governor dealt with Ji Shouzhen, there was actually a monster of chaos."
Zhang Yu said, "It is because Ji Shouzhen was chasing this monster of chaos that he was infected by its aura, causing him to fall into the side path."
Gongsun Shao said, "I came today for this monster of chaos. Does the Governor know the identity of this monster of chaos?"
Zhang Yu said, "I do not know. However, I have heard from Xuanfu that this person was originally an ordinary cultivator who came to the Protectorate to travel."
Gongsun Shao said, "Now it has been investigated. This person is called Song Lu. However, later on, he met someone on the way and changed his appearance. As for this person, this is his document. Please take a look, Governor." As he spoke, he took out a document from his astral bag and handed it over.
Zhang Yu took it and opened it. At first, he thought that this person might be a disciple of some Xuan Zun, which was why Yujing and Xuanfu paid so much attention to him. However, when he saw this, he found that this was not the case. However, the truth attracted his attention even more.
The person on the document was a cultivator named Huo Heng. This person's talent was amazing and could be called the number one talent at that time.
With this person's talent, he could have become a True Cultivator and become a disciple of a Xuan Zun. However, he gave up on the True Dao and became a Xuanxiu instead.
The reason for this was that this person thought that the path of True Cultivators had been decided early. If he cultivated step by step, his talent and ability would not be revealed. At that time, Xuanting was intentionally supporting Xuanxiu and was very supportive and appreciative of his actions.
And Huo Heng did not disappoint. In less than twenty years, he went from a disciple who only knew the breathing technique to a four-chapter cultivator.
At that time, he was expected to become the first Xuan Zun in Xuanxiu. Even many court officials in Xuanting paid attention to him.
However, it was this person who had such great expectations. For some reason, just as he was about to take the last step and was about to succeed, he retreated.
Originally, this was nothing. Everyone thought that he was just not prepared enough or had some new enlightenment. After all, before this, no one had been able to reach the upper realm with the Profound Method.
And with this person's talent, as long as his Dao foundation was not damaged, it would not be difficult for him to start all over again.
However, something unexpected happened.
Not long after this, this person actually transformed into a chaotic monster in front of everyone's eyes! After leaving a sentence on the spot, he left.
When Zhang Yu saw this, his gaze froze. What exactly happened? Why did this person make such a choice? What was that sentence? The document did not say.
It only mentioned that at that time, the Turbid Tide had arrived. The world's vitality had changed, and the land had expanded. Tianxia's continents had been invaded, and no one had pursued him. After that, his whereabouts were unknown.
Gongsun Shao said, "The document did not say everything, but according to our investigation, this person sought refuge with a powerful person who had also fallen into the Dao of Chaos. This person was near the Qingyang Upper Continent. Perhaps Governor Zhang has heard of him."
Zhang Yu nodded. The powerful person near the Qingyang Upper Continent should be the person that Zhu Xuanshou had been guarding against.
Gongsun Shao said, "Governor Zhang, do you know that Huo Heng is different from others? Even though he is a chaotic monster, we infer that it is very likely that he still retains a certain level of consciousness. Now, we can't be sure what level his cultivation has reached. And what he is extremely good at is infecting others with his own aura.
There is more than one person who has been harmed by him.
Song Lu is like this, and so is Ji Shouzhen. They have all fallen into his hands unknowingly. "
At this point, he looked over and stared at Zhang Yu as he said, "So, what we want to ask is, are you sure that you've killed those two monsters? Did you feel any changes in your body? "
