Xie Tao didn't just say compliments. He has indeed admired Zhang Yan for a long time. It can even be said that Zhang Yan has become a major reference point for major decisions at the top level of Mingyue Valley.
Zhang Yan is a person who represents the general trend and has great luck. Whatever Zhang Yan does, Mingyue Valley will cooperate with him. All you want is to maintain an optimal position in the general trend. That’s where the decision comes from.
Fangshi before, Zhang Yan now, Xie Tao's mind has been adjusting his impressions based on the latest information. I thought I already knew the other person's general situation very well, but when they actually met, Xie Tao realized that he had thought too simplistically. In other words, the person he was facing was not someone he could truly understand through information.
What surprised Xie Wei the most was the aura on Zhang Yan's body.
Although Xie Wei had learned about Zhang Yan's strange aura from the news brought back by Feng Yuhe, he also had some psychological expectations. Even when we met, we were still shocked by the other party's weirdness.
Compared with Feng Yuhe, Xie Tao and Song Shiyu's cultivation, they can naturally see more things from Zhang Yan, especially the aura of yin and yang and Zhang Yan's dark gold immortal body. How can these be hidden from Daluo Jinxian? s eyes.
After sitting down and exchanging a few simple greetings, the atmosphere in the hall seemed very harmonious.
"Your Excellency Zhang Yan, I have always been curious, how do the traditions of the great world describe Jinxian and Daluo? And how different is the system of practice from that in our void world? Of course, you can tell me about the specific things. I don’t know if I can omit it and talk about it in general terms?”
The speaker was a Jinxian elder who was sitting opposite Zhang Yan and said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he said "that's too abrupt" several times in a row. Anyone who saw it could understand that the other person was trying to start a conversation. At the same time, it can be regarded as testing Zhang Yan's tone.
Zhang Yan knew very well that the ancient world was of great significance to the immortals and monks in the void world. To him, Mingyue Valley is now a serious ally. There is no point in being stingy about some basic information, and it is too petty.
So Zhang Yan started to introduce: "At the level of Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian, the general understanding of the great world is actually basically the same as the context of the void world. The difference is only in some details. The same is true for the main context of cultivation. All in the same direction.”
"Then could you please tell me that in the ancient world's cultivation system, are there other realms beyond Daluo Jinxian?"
This question was asked by Song Shiyu, who had met Zhang Yan several times. When he asked, it was equivalent to Xie Tao asking. They were the only two people present who were most concerned about this issue.
Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and affirmed: "The inheritance in the ancient world mentioned the realm after Daluo Jinxian, and it was clearly called the "realm of the saint."
"The realm of saints?"
A group of golden immortals were not in trouble, but Song Shiyu, who was a big Luo, and Xie Tao, who was sitting at the top, seemed a little excited, even though their city, which had been tempered by countless winds and rains, was a little unable to hold on at this moment.
The most fearful thing in the long road ahead is reaching a dead end, and the most fearful thing is the unknown.
In all the records in the void world from beginning to end, Daluo Jinxian has the most extreme cultivation level. All records have come to a standstill at this level.
As for whether there will be other realms after Da Luo, no one has ever given a firm answer.
So many ancient Daluo Golden Immortals finally chose to find another path in this dark exploration and endless self-doubt and even fear: rushing into the unknown territory to find another possible realm.
In addition, after Zhang Yan said the four words "the realm of saints", Xie Tao and Song Shiyu actually had the same thought in their minds at the same time: So there is really a saint?
Although the realm of saints in the ancient world is supreme, it is not a taboo topic, nor is it a secret that few people know. Therefore, although Mingyue Valley rarely gets a few words from the great world, there are still some. There are also references to the word "saint". It was also seen by both Xie Tao and Song Shiyu.
At the beginning, Xie Tao and Song Shiyu did not think of the "saint" in terms of cultivation. Not just them, but all the strong men in Mingyue Valley have always been the same. I prefer "saint" as a respectful title for a certain virtue and status. Just like "sect leader" and "sect leader", they have the same meaning, it just depends on how you are used to calling them.
The real reason why Xie Tao and Song Shiyu guessed that the word "sage" was the beginning of the realm of cultivation came from the jade slip of the art of calculation that Song Shiyu found from the ruins of the sword tomb.
There is such a description in Yanshu: Yanshu can derive all things in the world and everything in the world. But only saints are unpredictable.
A guess is just a guess after all. Now that Zhang Yan has directly determined that the saint is the next realm after Daluo Jinxian, this is undoubtedly a lighthouse that directly lights up the seemingly invisible lighthouse ahead for Xie Tao and Song Shiyu. But if you want to use the light of a lighthouse to move forward, just knowing the word "saint" is far from enough. More of a hope.
You must know that Xie Er and Song Shiyu still can't forget the anxiety and despair in the eyes of their predecessors when they had to delve into unknown territory. Naturally, they don't want to be as confused and panicked as their predecessors in the future.
"What's so special about the realm of a saint?"
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head. I didn’t say I didn’t know, and I didn’t say I knew. This scene was very meaningful in the eyes of the people present in Mingyue Valley.
"Hahaha, Your Excellency, you have been working hard all the way, and now that we have met, we will hold a banquet in the valley tomorrow night to welcome you, and it will also be a good time for tomorrow's ceremony to thank all the guests. Please give me your respect!" Before Song Shiyu could continue to ask, he went up Xie Wei, who was the leader, spoke directly and took the lead. I will no longer dwell on the word "saint", and I will also put a temporary break on this first meeting. Firstly, it is appropriate, and secondly, you should leave time for yourself to think about it again.
Zhang Yan also stood up from his chair after hearing this. I understand that this is the end of the first meeting. It also felt very appropriate. After all, even if we had something to say, we wouldn’t go into an in-depth chat as soon as we met. What's more, except for the people from Mingyue Valley, he hasn't met any other families yet. The extent of the discussion with Mingyue Valley will ultimately depend on the outcome of subsequent meetings with those companies.
As soon as Zhang Yan left, Song Shiyu stood up from his chair in the hall.
"Sect Master, that Zhang Yan probably has some clues about the saint in his hand, even if it's just a directional thing, it's also useful to us."
"Okay." Xie Tao interrupted Song Shiyu again. In his opinion, it was not appropriate to talk about the Saint Realm in front of a group of golden immortals.
So he made a gesture to ask Song Shiyu to calm down, and at the same time said to Feng Yuhe: "You must pay close attention to Zhang Yan's every move in our valley, and you must not let go of the changes in his luck during this period."
