Although Xuanting had issued an edict ordering Dai Xuan Zun and Zhang Yu to return to report, he didn't set a time limit. He also stated that if they had any doubts, they could submit a letter at any time. Clearly, he was giving them a period of time to prepare and explain themselves.
Before someone else came to replace him, Xuan Zun didn't dare to leave Kui Residence. He could only stay here and wait for his replacement to arrive before he could leave.
Zhang Yu also felt that he could use this time to sort out his cultivation and make some arrangements. After all, he didn't know how long he would be gone for this Xuanting.
He flipped the jade tablet in his hand. It was sent along with the edict. Considering that he would be contaminated by the void outside, Xuanting allowed him to retreat to the inner layer first.
In fact, to go to the upper layer, he also had to pass through the inner layer, so there was no conflict.
He had already checked before. The jade tablet led to the Qingyang Upper Continent, a place he was familiar with.
He thought for a moment, then found Xuan Zun and tried to inquire about the situation inside Xuanting. Only then did he bid farewell.
After he left, he returned to his residence in Tanquan City in the blink of an eye.
Because he had sensed danger, he had asked everyone to leave in advance. Therefore, there was not a single person here.
As he walked, the flowers and trees in the courtyard bloomed together, and bursts of exotic fragrance drifted over. Under the influence of his aura, these plants were gradually moving in a mystical direction.
At the same time, the entire residence was suffused with a misty cloud light, as if it had been pulled away from the mortal world and became another world. Those who were walking around outside didn't notice the changes in here at all. It was as if everything was natural.
Zhang Yu walked into the main hall and sat down. As he waved his sleeves, a jade mist floated up from his body like an ice vase. A soft light was produced, and ethereal sounds lingered. It was as if with his arrival, this place had become a paradise on earth.
This was also Xuan Zun's ability. Every word and action of his was accompanied by magical powers. Xuan Zun's residence didn't need to use magic or think, and it could produce all kinds of mysteries. As a person who opened the path with magic, he seemed to be a little different from Yu Xuan Zun. However, he didn't have much contact with his peers. The difference between them could only be known in the future.
After sitting here for a while, he took out the jade tablet and silently used magic. Clear light surged on his body. It looked like he was still here, but in reality, only his incarnation was here. His body had already fallen into the inner layer under the guidance of the jade tablet.
On a desolate star somewhere, Xu Chengtong had always been on the altar. Although the Cicada's's Sword had already flown away, he didn't leave without being summoned...
A disciple looked at Xu Chengtong's back and whispered to another disciple, "Senior Brother, how long are we going to stay here?"
The other person shook his head and tried to signal him with his eyes.
Xu Chengtong's snort could be heard from the platform. He turned around and said to the disciple unhappily, "When the time is right, the Patrol Guardian will naturally call us back. If you don't even have this patience, how can you cultivate? In the future, I will pass my mantle to all of you! "
The disciple was scolded until he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
However, there was a bold disciple who muttered, "There are five of us, but not all of us can inherit your mantle."
Xu Chengtong looked over and stared at him, "What did you say?"
The disciple was shocked and said, "I was talking nonsense. Please forgive me, teacher."
Xu Chengtong frowned and said, "What I asked you was, what did you say before? Repeat it for me. "
The disciple didn't dare to disobey and said carefully, "I said, there are five of us, but not all of us can inherit your mantle."
Xu Chengtong looked at him, then looked at the people below and said, "Don't you think there's something wrong?"
The disciples were at a loss.
Xu Chengtong said slowly, "I have taken in many disciples, but ever since I submitted to the Patrol Guardian, I only brought the four of you out. Where did the five of you come from?"
The disciples were shocked. Before this was revealed, no one felt that something was wrong. However, after being reminded, they suddenly realized that other than the four of them, there was another person sitting here!
Xu Chengtong snorted and shouted, "Demons and monsters, come out!" He waved his sleeve and the white sand on his body rushed down from the altar!
The white sand rushed past the four disciples, but no one was hurt. However, it could be seen that there were originally five shadows on the ground, but after that, it became four again.
Xu Chengtong looked down for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. He saw that a few steps away, there was a black-robed Taoist with a cold expression. His eyes didn't have the slightest white and only had the Spectral Eye. However, when he looked again, the Taoist was gone.
At the same time, somewhere in Bi Su.
Xin Yao held a bamboo sword in her hand as she walked around a high platform. A little jade fox followed behind her. Sometimes, it would dash forward, and sometimes, it would stop. It seemed to be very lively. There were servants coming and going around, moving all kinds of furnishings in.
Xin Yao had been preparing the station here in accordance with Zhang Yu's request. However, she was only responsible for dealing with the cultivators. Everything else was left to Qing Shu and the others.
The Xuanting Patrol Guardian's name was very useful. Even the Golden Pupil Bureau, which made people pale, didn't do anything extra. They just followed their duty to inspect and then left.
She originally wanted to buy a house directly. However, Madam An had many properties in Bi Su. She sold and gave away a high platform that was originally used to place materials for creation.
She saw that the place was sturdy and very good, so she took the initiative to accept it.
At this time, she suddenly felt a change in aura. She took out a pill bottle from her embroidered pocket and took a pill.
However, she remembered Zhang Yu's instructions. She tried to use this medicine as little as possible. Fortunately, after the formation around here was set up, it could delay this kind of infection.
She walked around the upper level and then walked down. However, when she turned the corner of the stairs, she saw a strange man in black standing there. His eyes were very dark.
She focused her eyes. At this time, she suddenly heard a meow. She followed the sound and saw Miao Danjun squatting on the windowsill. She looked back again, but that person was no longer there. She couldn't help but frown.
At this time, she heard footsteps. Yan Yuming walked in from outside. He raised his head and saw her. He cupped his hands and said, "Martial Uncle Xin is here."
Xin Yao looked at him and said, "Did you see anyone when you came in just now?"
Yan Yuming was startled. He said, "No."
Xin Yao grunted in acknowledgment. She adjusted her glasses and said, "Martial Niece Yan, what brings you here?"
Yan Yuming said, "Martial Uncle Xin, Martial Uncle Ying came to visit. Martial Nephew hurriedly came to inform Martial Uncle Xin."
Xin Yao was surprised. "Senior Martial Brother Ying?" She couldn't help but show a happy expression. She said, "Quickly invite him in."
She didn't expect that she would be able to see her fellow disciples from the Dong Ting and Xuanfu in the outer area. Although there were many disciples from the Dong Ting besides her and Yan Yuming, most of these juniors had only joined the Dong Ting in recent years. She hadn't seen some of them before.
Yan Yuming said good and rushed out excitedly.
Xin Yao also went down to the hall below. After a while, she saw Yingxiong coming in under the guidance of Yan Yuming. His robe seemed to be fluttering like black flames.
Xin Yao bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Martial Brother Ying. What brings you here?"
Yingxiong's scarlet eyes looked behind her and said calmly, "There's a ghost here."
In the wilderness outside the Qingyang Upper Continent, a clear light descended from the sky. It lasted for about ten breaths before it settled down. When the light dispersed, Zhang Yu walked out.
He sensed that the turbid tide had receded, but at this moment, he could feel that it was slightly thicker. It was obvious that Taoist Long's movement through the door in the outer area was not without its influence.
He pondered for a moment. He didn't know if those Monk Hunjang had sensed any mysteries of heaven and earth.
He looked around and saw a huge pit not far away. There were traces of an intense battle around it.
A clear light flashed on his body and he appeared at the edge of the pit. After a few glances, he could confirm that this should be the place where Zhu Xuanshou and the unknown chaos monster fought.
After standing there for a while, Huo Heng silently came to his side and said with emotion, "The world is unpredictable. We haven't seen each other for a short time, but I didn't expect Fellow Zhang to have achieved something."
Zhang Yu still looked ahead and didn't look at him. He said, "I didn't expect Fellow Huo to say the words' impermanence '."
Huo Heng smiled and said, "Even though I cultivate the Dao of Chaos, I have not reached the upper realm. Naturally, I can't predict everything. However, one day, I will be able to control all things in the world."
He looked at Zhang Yu and praised, "Fellow Daoist, you didn't enter the Chaos and didn't follow the rules. Instead, you became the ancestor of the upper realm of the Profound Dao Sect. This unprecedented action is truly worthy of praise."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "If Fellow Daoist Huo didn't withdraw from the Profound Dao back then, I think you would have been able to achieve this Dao."
Huo Heng chuckled and said, "I couldn't have done it back then because there were too many people watching at that time. I knew my own limits. Back then, I was just a bigger ant compared to those people above. Some things can't go as you wish."
He raised his head slightly. "However, I don't want to be like them, so I never force others."
After a pause, he continued, "If I'm not wrong, Fellow Daoist, such a big thing happened in the outer area. You must have gone to Xuanting this time?"
Zhang Yu didn't say anything.
Huo Heng didn't need him to answer. Instead, he continued, "Fellow Daoist, you have to be careful.
Now, Xuanting is filled with the words of abandoning the Profound Dao. In the past, although those who cultivated the rules didn't consider themselves as Xuanxiu, in the eyes of those True Cultivators, they were no different from those 'Xuanxiu' who had been helped up. This was also a considerable force. Abandoning the Profound Dao would definitely not avoid them.
Once the matter of stirring up the Turbid Tide is out, that person will definitely not be trusted. Xuanting might increase the restrictions on this person. Even if it won't implicate you, Fellow Daoist, when the Profound Dao is in decline, can you really stay out of it? "
He said meaningfully, "Moreover, the remaining 'Xuanxiu' might not treat you as one of their own because you are ultimately different from them.
He looked ahead. "I still say the same thing. Fellow Daoist, whenever you feel that the path ahead is impassable, you can call me. I will naturally help you."
After saying that, he disappeared as if he had appeared. However, a black scorch mark appeared on the ground out of thin air.
Zhang Yu stood there quietly alone. The boundless and empty wilderness seemed to have never changed since ancient times. Only his robes fluttered in the wind.
