The Cicada Wings Flowing Light was a divine ability that could allow one to fly faster, and at the same time, it could also be used to slay enemies.
However, although this divine ability was very fast, its attacking power was relatively weak. Thus, when facing enemies, Zhang Yu had always used it as a probing tool.
At this moment, under the support of the mysterious "Heaven", a ray of light that was so fast that it was almost impossible to distinguish instantly broke through the roof of the hall and disappeared into the sky above.
Zhang Yu identified it. With the help of the mysterious heavens, the power of this divine ability had almost doubled, and its speed had become incomparably fast, almost catching up to the sword light. Of course, even so, it was still far inferior to the sword light.
However, the Cicada Wings Flowing Light was very fast, and once it was activated, several streaks could appear at the same time, so the consumption of mental energy was not much.
The key was that this also allowed him to see the next step of the change.
He thought for a moment and decided to try the "Illusory Divine Slash" again.
This divine ability that specialized in attacking one's mind was something he would use whenever he encountered an enemy. In the lower realms, very few cultivators could resist it directly. At the very least, they would be somewhat affected. However, once he reached the level of Mystique Venerable Rank, most of the opponents he encountered had defensive techniques, so it was no longer as effective. It was basically a probing move like the Cicada's Wings.
It was just that he did not know what level this technique could reach under the influence of the mysterious heavens. Thus, with a thought, in the blink of an eye, an incomparably bright light immediately illuminated the entire hall. Outside the hall, there were originally many creatures formed from Innate Soul Essences that had stopped there, but after being shaken by the light that leaked out, they fell to the ground one by one.
The light did not disappear in a flash. Instead, it lasted for a few breaths before fading away.
Zhang Yu was deep in thought at this moment. Although this divine ability had improved under the influence of the mysterious, the power it displayed was not as great as he had imagined. However, its duration had increased by a lot.
According to his understanding, many Divine Abilities that defended against mental attacks could block a sudden attack, but they might not be able to block continuous attacks. From this point of view, the power of the Illusory Godly Slash had not increased by much, but the degree of threat it posed to the enemy had undoubtedly increased greatly. On the contrary, it was more useful than just killing.
After thinking for a moment, he tried the Light Capturing Technique. Although there was no suitable target to suppress at the moment, he could feel that under the Heavy Light Mystery, when he used this Divine Ability, he could launch it more stealthily and quickly.
In the past, he didn't use this method often because there were certain signs when this divine ability was activated. He needed to grasp the right timing. If the other party was prepared in advance, then it would be troublesome.
Perhaps the opponent would be able to dispel his control with a Counter Curse. That wouldn't be of any use at all. However, if this technique was launched quickly and stealthily, then it could definitely catch the enemy off guard. It should be known that in a battle of the same level, even the slightest bit of carelessness could be fatal.
Looking at it this way, although the changes in the Divine Ability were small, the effect it could have was extremely great.
And in the next few days, he used the Heavy Light Mystery to evolve all the Divine Abilities he knew. And here, he also discovered some of the limitations of the Heavy Light Mystery.
With his current foundation, he could only use this Heavy Light Mystery once to three times a day.
Once or twice was still within the limits of what he could bear, but if it was three times, it would be a little too much. It wasn't impossible to use it again after that, but it would practically have no effect on the improvement of the Divine Ability.
From what he could feel, the Heavy Light Mystery wasn't without consumption. Rather, it was like when he used the seals on the Great Dao Chapter before he cultivated the Light of Heart, it consumed his body's origin energy.
And the more powerful the Heavy Light Mystery, the greater the consumption, and the Heavy Light Mystery was undoubtedly one of the best.
But even if this Heavy Light Mystery could only be used three times a day, it was enough in a battle. After all, it was often only a single strike to determine the outcome of a battle.
Moreover, he didn't necessarily need to decide the outcome of a battle with a single strike. Sometimes, he only needed to use this technique to create an opportunity, and he would naturally use other methods to deal with the rest.
He could feel that at this very moment, although his cultivation and Light of Heart hadn't improved too much compared to the battle with Cen Chuan, his battle prowess had improved tremendously compared to that time. If they were to battle again at this moment, if Cen Chuan didn't have any new techniques, then he believed that he would be able to find the other's true body in an instant.
Of course, this was also based on the premise that he had a certain understanding of the other's methods. If he were to face a complete stranger of the same generation, then he would still have to be careful.
Just from the Heavy Light Mystery, it could be seen that sometimes, the opponent only needed to have a unique Heavy Light Mystery or Divine Ability, and it would be possible to turn the situation around in an instant. When facing any Xuan Zun, one couldn't let their guard down, even if the other's Divine Ability was inferior to yours.
However, he also thought that if the Heavy Light Mystery consumed his origin energy, then if he could replenish his origin energy in battle, then he might be able to use it a few more times. After all, other than the Heavy Light Mystery, he also had other Heavy Light Mysteries that he would need to use.
After thinking about it, he came out of the dojo and came to the Shouzheng Hall. He called out, "Daoist Ming Zhou."
A light flashed, and Daoist Ming Zhou appeared below the stage. He bowed and said, "Shouzheng, what orders do you have?"
Zhang Yu said, "Among the Xuanting, which Daoist is the most proficient in the art of pills?"
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "If we were to talk about the most proficient in the art of pills, then it would undoubtedly be the First Deacon. In the past, the Exalted Zhengqing also had some achievements in the art of pills. Next, among the Deacons, Deacon Yusu is the most proficient in the art of pills, while Deacon Chao is the most proficient in the art of pills. If Shouzheng wants to ask about the art of pills, you might as well ask these two."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Daoist."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and disappeared.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and decided that he would visit these two in the future. After thinking about it, he turned and returned to the inner hall. He sat down on the jade platform and meditated.
In the Eastern Court Prefecture, after Cui Yue met with Zhang Yu, he went to various places to patrol. He used about twenty days to roughly understand the situation in the Eastern Court. During this time, he personally went to each of the sub-prefectures to talk to the junior cultivators. He didn't even miss out on the students who had just entered the school.
He didn't do this to show his presence, but to let all the cultivators in the Xuanfu Prefecture know that he, Xuan Zheng, didn't just sit in the Xuanfu Prefecture and give orders. Instead, he paid attention to everyone in the prefecture and personally asked about everything.
He only returned to the Xuanfu Prefecture at the end of the second month. Although he didn't sleep or rest for more than half a month, it was nothing for a cultivator of the fourth chapter. He was still full of energy.
The prefecture hadn't been expanded yet, and the Xuanfu Prefecture was still using the old halls. He lived in a secondary hall that was built in the past two years. It was slightly to the east of the main hall.
When he returned to the hall, he took out the Xuanfu disciple list and carefully looked through it.
The number of people in the Xuanfu Prefecture couldn't be compared to the Xuanfu Prefecture in the mainland, so he could still take care of it. However, after the expansion, he obviously couldn't manage everything by himself. He would need some subordinates. Therefore, he began to look for suitable candidates.
These people didn't need to have high cultivation, but they must do things seriously and maintain integrity. As for cultivation, it didn't matter if it was low because it could be improved slowly. However, a person's character couldn't be changed in a short period of time.
At this moment, he raised his brush and underlined the names of a few disciples that he had taken a fancy to. Then, he wrote a comment behind each of their names. Then, he put down his brush, thinking that after the expansion of the manor, he could transfer some suitable people from other territories to come over.
After he made up his mind, he put away the list and called out the Great Way. He looked at the Xuntian Dao Zhang and a seal appeared in front of him. The two words "Dongting" were printed on it.
This was a seal of the Dongting Prefecture that Zhang Yu had created not long ago. All the Xuanxiu in the Dongting Protectorate could use this seal to communicate with each other.
Cui Yue entered and took a look around. He saw that every single Profound Palace cultivator that he had seen before had their names displayed here, and at the very top, he could even see the Profound Palace's head Zhang Yu's talisman seal. In other words, he could rely on this to communicate with any cultivator in the Eastern Court Profound Palace at any time.
He sighed at the convenience of this place and thought, "Such a useful seal shouldn't only be used for Xuanting. If Xuan Shou recommended it to the Xuanting Prefecture and then pushed it to other places, it might benefit even Tianxia."
When he thought of this, he sent a suggestion to Zhang Yu.
This wasn't considered overstepping his authority because Xuan Shou had the authority to advise and regulate the behavior of the cultivators in the prefecture. Besides, if the Xuan Shou of a prefecture acted out of line, Xuan Shou could report it to the Xuanting Prefecture at any time.
Zhang Yu saw his message quickly, but he shook his head. Of course, he knew the benefits of this place, but he couldn't be the one to bring it up. Moreover, the situations in different places were different and couldn't be generalized.
How many Xuanxiu cultivators were guarding the Upper Prefecture now? How many Xuanxiu cultivators were there with Xuan Shou's identity?
Very few.
The Dongting Prefecture was probably the most special among them.
He thought for a while and replied, "Cui Xuan Shou, everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages. The seal may be useful here, but it may not be useful elsewhere. This matter should be decided by the Xuanting Prefecture."
After Cui Yue received his reply, he thought about it seriously and admitted that Zhang Yu's words made sense. He didn't insist on it and instead replied cautiously, "You're right, Head Xuan. I was too presumptuous."
Afterwards, he retreated from the Great Dao. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was a pity. At this moment, he suddenly sensed a wave of sound coming from Dan Port. He stood up and went to the window sill to look forward. Through the entire glass wall, he could see the silver stars in the distant sky. Over ten thousand silver flying ships painted with the pattern of the Mysterious Cicada's wings were flying in the direction of the Eastern Court Prefecture.
Seeing this, he knew that the army stationed in the Dongting Prefecture by the Yujing Chao Prefecture and the new Commandant had arrived!
