Ever since Zhang Yu returned, he had been flipping through Daoist books to sort out his own Daoist techniques. It had not been long since he stepped on the path of sending void, so it was time for him to settle down.
Even though the matter of Yuandu Sect had been settled, the people of Shangchen had not retreated from the outer layer. Both sides were still confronting each other, and no one could predict when a great battle would break out. Therefore, not only was it necessary to create a supernatural power, it was also very urgent.
However, he knew that the more it was so, the more he could not rush it.
If the supernatural power he created was not to his liking, then he would just have to create a new one. However, if this caused a deviation in his understanding of Daoist techniques, then it would take a lot of effort to change it back.
Those true technique cultivators had countless predecessors' experiences as reference, so he could only explore on his own. Not only himself, but as the person who opened the path for Xuan techniques, his path could also be used by later generations. The impact would be greater, so he had to be more cautious.
Just as he was immersed in this, there was a commotion outside the hall. He focused his mind and looked forward.
Following the flash of a ray of light outside the hall, Daoist Ming Zhou walked in from the outside. He cupped his fists in front of the hall and said, "Shouzhen, this time, Shouzhen has pacified the Yuandu's internal troubles. The Imperial Court has bestowed a reward according to the rules and specially ordered Ming Zhou to send it over."
Zhang Yu's gaze fell, and he took the imperial edict from Ming Zhou's hand. He opened it and saw that this Xuanting was rewarded with three hundred and fifty ounces of mystical rations. At the end, it also said that his contribution was not easy to define, so he was only given a portion of the reward first. After the battle was over, his contribution would be reported.
After he finished reading, he kept the imperial edict and said to Daoist Ming Zhou, "Thank you for your trouble, Daoist friend."
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Since Shouzheng has received it, Ming Zhou will take his leave." After he bowed, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, then stood up and returned to the back of the hall. He placed the imperial edict in the pavilion, and when he returned, a deity came to report, "Shouzheng, Zhan Kong, and Xuan Zun have come to visit."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I will personally welcome him." He walked out of the hall and saw Daoist Zhan Kong standing in front of the steps. He raised his sleeve and bowed, "Greetings, senior."
Zhan Kong hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, just call me Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu nodded and took a step to the side, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhan Kong, please."
Daoist Zhan Kong bowed again and followed him into the hall. As he walked, he said, "That useless disciple of mine didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
Zhang Yu said, "Senior's disciple may be young, but he is very sensible. There is no need for him to worry about him. Everything is fine in the east court. Senior has found a good disciple."
Daoist Zhan Kong shook his head and sighed, "It's like this now, but it may not be so in the future. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, Fellow Daoist. The disciple I accepted in the past was also sensible and polite, but now he has too many ideas."
After a pause, he sighed again, "Because the inheritance of the Yuandu lineage is very unique, it makes it difficult to find disciples. Other than talent, they also need to be compatible with the cultivation method. At the same time, their character can't be too bad. Otherwise, my senior brother wouldn't have searched for so many years. Even if he found one a few years ago, he didn't know why he didn't like him, so he went to find another disciple."
As they spoke, the two of them came to the hall and sat down as the host and guest.
Zhang Yu ordered the deity to serve the spiritual tea. Daoist Zhan Kong took a sip and said, "This seems to be spiritual tea from Fellow Daoist Yu Su?"
Zhang Yu said, "That's right."
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "I haven't tasted it for many years."
Zhang Yu said, "After this incident, is Fellow Daoist Zhan Kong preparing to return to Yuandu? Or stay in the upper court? "
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "Xuanting has given me a position of 'Guan Zhi'. I'm preparing to stay in the upper court permanently."
In fact, Xuanting wanted him to come and be the court administrator. After all, when he helped Tianxia to expel Shangchen in Yuandu, Xuanting had made such a suggestion.
But this time, he still declined.
This was because from his point of view, this incident was caused by the Yuandu's internal strife. It was already good enough that Xuan Ting didn't care about his mistakes. How could he be so thick-skinned as to claim credit for this?
Moreover, he didn't like to deal with worldly affairs, and he wasn't good at it. Because of this incident, he also learned his lesson. He thought that perhaps it was because the two sides didn't communicate much that led to the chaos. He couldn't repeat the same mistake, so he chose to stay and take up a position of 'Guan Zhi'.
"This old Daoist wanted to visit Fellow Daoist earlier this time, but I heard that Fellow Daoist was in seclusion these few days, so I took some time to calculate. I knew that Fellow Daoist might be free today, so I came to visit."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He wasn't surprised by this. This was also the ability that True Cultivators were best at. Cultivators who cultivated for a long time were very good at calculating the secrets of heaven. As long as it didn't involve the foundation of a cultivator, most of them could calculate accurately.
Daoist Zhan Kong said again, "Fellow Daoist and I can be considered to have some connections. I wonder if some words are presumptuous?"
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Solemnly, Daoist Zhan Kong said, "Fellow Daoist's ability isn't something that I can speak of. It's just that I can see that Fellow Daoist's Qi is smooth, and your divine splendor is restrained. This is to regulate yourself. This matter can't be neglected. Our enlightenment today will be our journey in the future. "
Zhang Yu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist."
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "I'm not familiar with the Dao of Xuan, but the path of Great Dao leads to the same destination." He lifted his sleeve and took out a jade scroll. This is a collection of Daoist books in Yuandu Sect. Fellow Daoist, why don't you take a look? "
Zhang Yu took a look, but didn't leave to take it. He said, "Is it convenient?"
Daoist Zhan Kong smiled and said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. After Yuandu Sect was merged into Tianxia, it's no longer a sect. Moreover, after this, I've been thinking about sending Yuandu Sect's ancient books into Xuanting. In the future, anyone who wants to learn from them can do so. "
After hearing what he said, Zhang Yu didn't stand on ceremony anymore. He thanked him and took the jade scroll. After thinking for a while, he said, "Fellow Daoist, you want to send Yuandu Sect's ancient books into Xuanting. Do you want to change the agreement before?"
One had to know that Yuandu Sect was independent in the past. They could still avoid enlistment in times of war. Now, it seemed like they had to make a bigger change.
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "In the past, the two of us always thought that this matter couldn't be rushed. We were afraid that many people in our sect wouldn't be able to accept it immediately. Therefore, we still set up our own sect and hoped that our fellow disciples would slowly change their minds after a few hundred years. However, we didn't expect that Junior Martial Brother Ren would still take the wrong path. Since that's the case, I might as well be tough this time and make the decision for them. "
Zhang Yu had a second thought. If this was really the case, not only would Tianxia take advantage of this crisis to eliminate their internal problems, they might even be able to obtain a strong ally. Not to mention the few Xuan Zun from Yuandu Sect, the value of a Daoist magic tool like Yuandu Xuantu was immeasurable.
After Daoist Zhan Kong talked with him for a while, he said, "I've troubled Shouzheng for a long time this time. In the future, I'll be moving around in and out of Xuanting. I still have a lot of time to deal with Zhang Shouzheng, so I won't disturb you any further."
Seeing this, Zhang Yu didn't say anything and personally sent him out of the hall. When he returned, he continued to read and cultivate.
On the wasteland, in a simple but rather large palace, there were many intricately carved statues with beautiful lines. Most of them were images of female fairies and spiritual animals. Because the sculptor had given them a certain level of spirituality, they all looked lively and natural.
Kuai Jing had been here for many days. These days, he had been supervising Liao Ling's cultivation. However, he was not satisfied with his progress.
His expression was filled with vigilance and urgency. He said seriously, "Junior Martial Brother, your progress is too slow. You have to know that those dangers won't wait for us. We don't know when they will come. We have to race against time. You have to be more focused."
Liao Ling's body was surrounded by a light circle. He was bound here and couldn't leave. He said weakly, "Senior Martial Brother Kuai, I've tried my best."
Kuai Jing shook his head and said, "No, I don't think you have."
"I …" Liao Ling really wanted to scold him.
Kuai Jing said with a heavy expression, "That's the only way."
Liao Ling's heart suddenly jumped. He said, "You, what are you doing?"
Kuai Jingchao stood still and looked in a certain direction. A beautiful statue of a goddess that stood there collapsed with a loud bang.
Liao Ling cried out, "Stop, stop!"
Kuai Jing said seriously, "Junior Martial Brother, I know you don't understand my actions. However, it's okay. As your senior martial brother, I'll help you. If you don't cultivate diligently, I'll break another statue."
Liao Ling immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll cultivate, I'll cultivate. Can't I cultivate properly?"
He looked at the broken statue and felt pain. However, Kuai Jing used this to threaten him. He had no choice but to cultivate with all his might.
In just ten days, his cultivation had improved a lot.
Back then, he had been chosen by Xun Ji and taken in as a disciple. Naturally, his potential was not bad. It was just that he had never cultivated seriously. But just like that, he had cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Reflection Realm. Now, in order to protect his statue, he was forced to cultivate diligently.
However, every time he cultivated, he would curse Kuai Jing in his heart. He wanted the latter to die. He wondered when these dark days would end.
One day, he suddenly saw a flying ship fly over his head. He was overjoyed, but then he thought of something and looked over at Kuai Jing. Seeing Kuai Jing staring at the flying ship, his heart skipped a beat. He carefully asked, "Senior Brother Kuai, you don't think these people are here to deal with us, right?"
Kuai Jing looked over and said in shock, "How can that be? Junior Martial Brother, I'm not crazy. I won't treat everyone as an enemy. "
Liao Ling heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Kuai Jing in shock as he took out a pair of glasses from his sleeve. He wiped them with a soft cloth and wore them. His gaze was strange and he couldn't help but ask, "Senior Martial Brother, why are you wearing glasses?"
A normal cultivator's five senses were sharp. However, with Kuai Jing's cultivation, he was one step away from the Xuan Zun. Why would he need such things?
Unless he was using them to hide his identity. However, there were only the two of them here. Why would he hide it?
Kuai Jing answered seriously, "It looks like a pair of glasses but it's actually a magic artifact."
Liao Ling looked at him and didn't know what to say. However, after Kuai Jing wore the glasses, he felt that there was something else on him that he couldn't explain.
Kuai Jing looked at the sky and said, "I've thought about it."
Liao Ling was confused, "What?"
Kuai Jing said, "Junior Martial Brother, I've seen your cultivation improve. This means that my method is useful. But if I only help you, it's very unfair to the other disciples. "
He looked worried and said, "They don't know what kind of terrifying world they are in. As their Senior Martial Brother, I should help them like I helped you."
