Zhang Yu only felt his body constantly sinking, surrounded by flowing starlight and colorful fog. At first, his body was still bound, as if he was trapped in a swamp.
But soon, the bindings on his body were removed, and a piece of land appeared in front of him. He rushed toward it like a meteor. His eyes flashed slightly, and the light on his body floated up, allowing his body to fall. Then, with a boom, he smashed into a bulging mountain ridge, creating a deep pit, sending billows of dust and dirt into the air.
After he steadied himself, he slowly walked out of the pit and glanced at the sky. Although it was daytime, he could still see the stars twinkling with silver light.
Although this was the lower level, it was not the Hongyi Layer that he had gone to several times before.
He opened his palm, and there was a jade talisman full of cracks. With a light move of his finger, it shattered into tiny fragments.
This was the jade talisman he had obtained from the Shangchen cultivator Pei Yue. He had tried to look at it before, and it could lead him to an unfamiliar place.
However, this item could only be used by the cultivator himself, and it was very likely to shatter after a single use. In addition, there was no Sky Traveling Dial, so no one knew where it would land or if it could be returned. Thus, he had never used it before.
The reason he came here this time instead of going to the Hongyi Layer was because there were many Sky Traveling Dials in Kui Su that led to the Hongyi Layer. If he could go there, others could go there as well. If Xuan Zun wanted to deal with him, it was really too easy.
At this moment, he inspected his body. Because he had come here personally and was not a power projection, everything was naturally on his body.
Because the One Heaven Water had helped him resist earlier, he was injured again. However, it seemed that Xuan Zun did not want to take his life, so the consumption was not as great, far less than last time.
He tried to circulate his Qi again, and found that he seemed to have entered an extremely viscous realm. Although the strength of his body was still there, he had to pay a greater price to be able to use it, and what was being consumed here was his own Vital Qi.
And if he did not want to consume too much, he could only reduce his movements to an extremely low level.
However, he did not mind. With his current strength, unless Xuan Zun caught up to him, there was nothing in the lower level that could threaten him.
Since he had entered the lower level, it was time to perfect the seal and complete the final seal.
He looked at the tall mountain wall not far away and felt relieved. He walked over there. Following his arrival, the mountain wall gradually collapsed and shattered, gradually forming a deep and tall cave.
Just now, he had looked around and found that the white boat could be released. However, it was difficult to change its size. Therefore, he took out Ying Xing and Fang Tianlu and placed them there. Then, he walked in.
After sitting down in the tent, he called out in his heart. As a slightly dim light screen rose up, the Great Dao had already been summoned by him.
He stared at the "Bright Self Seal" that was only a sliver away from completion. With a thought, he channeled his Divine Essence into it. This seal was almost instantly completed. Just like when the first two seals were completed, it released a bright light that enveloped his entire being.
He felt the outside of his body darken, and then he saw another version of himself walking out of the void and merging into his body.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a mysterious feeling in his heart. He felt as if he was expanding infinitely, extending out into an even wider world, reaching infinity.
However, he did not sink into it. With a thought, he broke away from it in an instant and returned to the body in front of him.
At this moment, when he looked at the Great Dao again, he did not know when, but the three seals had merged into one and turned into a single seal. The two words "All Self" appeared on it.
This undoubtedly showed that he had completed the "All Self Is Complete" step.
At this point, he had obtained the Three-Yuan Technique.
Since ancient Xia, very few True Cultivators had been able to obtain the Three-Yuan Technique. However, at this moment, he had successfully cultivated it.
When a Daoist cultivator succeeded in the Three-Yuan Technique, the first thing was to know oneself.
At this moment, he looked at himself and saw that his body was like a cluster of bright starlight. Although this cluster of starlight was bright and dazzling, there were some places with different depths. There were even some places where there were many holes of different sizes.
This was, in fact, a reflection of his own situation in his consciousness. The holes of different depths and sizes represented the many flaws and omissions in his consciousness.
No one was without flaws. Mortals were like this, and Daoist cultivators were also like this. For the latter, these flaws were gradually formed in the process of cultivation.
Because the cultivation methods of Daoist cultivators were mostly passed down, the younger generation would inevitably refer to the cultivation methods of their predecessors.
However, every Daoist cultivator was different. There had never been anyone who could use the most suitable cultivation method for themselves from the beginning. Even those disciples of the Xuan Zun had to refer to the methods of their predecessors.
And if he wanted to have a clear path ahead, he had to fill in these holes. Only then could he completely see the path that belonged to him.
With a thought, in an instant, rays of light shone out from his mind and shone on the bright starlight. They filled in the gaps and smoothed out the different depths of the light in his heart.
Benefiting from the ability of "Internal and External Clarity" and "Divine Technique Mastery", he could freely adjust his Qi and heart to make up for his fundamental deficiencies.
This was like cultivating from the beginning, and it was according to the method that was most suitable for him.
Of course, ordinary Daoist cultivators who did not know their own body and had not reached the third level would not be able to do it even if they wanted to.
Moreover, this could only be done before the upper level. Once the upper level was achieved, there would be no such possibility. This was because the transformation was based on the original body. Without this, there would be no later achievements.
In other words, this was the seed of Dao. Once it was achieved, it would be impossible to change it even if you destroyed everything and started all over again.
And as those flaws were filled in one by one, the flaws in his past were reshaped. The deficiencies that he had always left behind were filled in, and the starlight gradually sublimated towards true perfection.
On the Kui Mansion Spell Platform, after the blurry figure appeared, he stayed there and did not leave. He maintained his silence.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly said, "Daoist Dai, it's about time. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be changes."
Xuan Zun turned around and looked in the direction of the Kui Mansion. His eyes suddenly flickered, and a faint golden light mist spread out from the Heavenly City and brushed across the entire Kui Mansion Planet.
At this moment, the living beings and everything on the Earth Planet were motionless, including the Earth Planet itself.
It could be seen that the flying ships that entered and exited the Heavenly City were all stopped in mid-air. The spiritual light outside the ships was like a solidified flame, maintaining a certain shape for a moment.
Xuan Zun's figure suddenly disappeared from the spell platform. When he reappeared, he had already landed on the Earth Planet.
The place where he landed was an encampment in the wilderness. There were groups of armored soldiers and a few Daoist cultivators patrolling back and forth.
At this moment, these armored soldiers and Daoist cultivators were completely like statues, maintaining a certain movement. It could be seen that some of the roots and leaves that were swept up by the wind were also suspended in mid-air.
If Zhang Yu was here, he would be able to recognize that this was the place where Shi Yanxin and the others were in charge of monitoring the crack that led to the Inner and Outer Layers.
However, at this moment, it looked no different from an ordinary encampment. It was obvious that the crack had long been sealed.
Xuan Zun walked to the center of the encampment and stood still. His scarlet eyes flickered for a moment, then he reached out his hand and slowly pointed at a spot in front of him.
In an instant, at the place where his finger touched, a ripple suddenly appeared in the atmosphere where there was originally nothing. A swirling mist gradually formed and slowly spread out.
At the same time, a passage that seemed to lead to an extremely deep place appeared. The crack that was previously sealed was once again torn open.
At this moment, the blurry figure also appeared not far away from him.
Xuan Zun stood there and said, "I've finished my business here. Now it's up to my Daoist friend from the Inner Layer to arrive in time."
The blurry figure said, "He'll be here soon." He looked at Xuan Zun and said, "After this matter, what do you plan to do, Xuan Zun?"
Xuan Zun said indifferently, "Naturally, I'll follow the original plan and leave this place for Shangchen."
The blurry figure said, "Are you willing to leave just like this and abandon everything in Tianxia?"
Xuan Zun's tone was calm as he said, "For the sake of seeing the Great Dao, what's there to be unwilling about? Moreover, someone has to do this in the end. Yu Chang's accident happened, and I happened to be chosen to take over. If I don't do this, how can I smoothly open this door? Don't tell me I'll have to wait another eighty or ninety years?"
The blurry figure said, "That's true." At this moment, he seemed to have noticed something. He looked down and said, "He's here."
Xuan Zun felt a tremor in his heart. Then, he saw a ball of light appear in the distance. A blurry figure of a Daoist was coming out from the crack in the tunnel.
Before the person arrived, waves of mana rippled out. The floating plants outside collapsed in an instant, and even the entire Earth Star began to move. This kind of power clearly indicated that Xuan Zun had arrived in person.
As the Daoist gradually came out, his figure became clearer. One could see that this person had a handsome face. His thin eyebrows were like a beard, and his eyes were golden vertical pupils.
Xuan Zun saw that it was him and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
The Daoist stood in the middle of the tunnel, and the mist around him spread outwards. He smiled and said, "Why? Are you surprised to see me, Daoist Dai?"
Xuan Zun stared at him and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect it to be you."
Daoist Long looked at him playfully and said, "Since you've already seen me, what are you going to do next?"
Xuan Zun immediately said, "Naturally, I'll open the door together with Daoist Long and wait for the Turbid Tide."
Daoist Long smiled and said, "Oh? I thought you'd send a message back to the main body and have Xanting capture me. "
Xuan Zun's eyes flickered rapidly.
The blurry figure flashed slightly. In that instant, Xuan Zun's face appeared. He said expressionlessly, "Don't count on sending a message. The outside has been sealed by a spell."
