Outside the cave:
Peng Yuexian, Taoist Xian Er, Fairy Li Chen and other foundation-building monks waited for a long time, but they always found the door closed.
"Why haven't you come out yet? It's been several hours."
"It should still have the power of breath adjustment. Let's wait a little longer."
Several foundation-building monks discussed a few words with each other and continued to wait patiently.
Fortunately, we didn't wait long this time. As the formation closed, the cave door suddenly opened, and Zhang Yao walked out in Taoist robes.
"The guild leader is out of seclusion!"
"Congratulations on your major improvement and great improvement in strength!"
"Congratulations to the master for advancing to the next level of immortality."
Lao Peng and others came up to greet them and congratulated them repeatedly. Zhang Yao also smiled and returned the greetings one by one.
After chatting for a while, Lao Peng proposed to hold a religious ceremony as a celebration, and Zhang Yao readily agreed.
A Dharma conference was held for two days and two nights, and it was not hastily ended until the guests and hosts had had a good time.
The day after the Dharma conference:
Zhang Yao explained some matters during the meeting, then drove the light to leave the Cangjiang River and set off for Haizhou.
After flying for more than ten hours and covering a distance of tens of thousands of miles, we finally reached the easternmost part of Dali and saw the vast and endless Fubo Sea.
The Fubo Sea stretches hundreds of thousands of miles across, with an endless coastline. It is surrounded by more than just the Dali dynasty. On the eastern coast across the sea is Dayu, one of the four great powers in the southwest.
And off the coast of Dali:
On a sea as blue as jade, a faint mist rises, cranes flutter their wings, kingfishers chirp on floating islands in the sea and sky, and there is the faint sound of silk bamboo.
"What a grand scene of the immortal family."
Zhang Yao sighed in admiration and slowed down his light escape speed slightly.
The mountain gate of Fuhai Sect is also a famously powerful magic weapon. It is said that it took hundreds of years to build and is a movable floating island in the sea and sky.
And this sea area is also one of the few medium-sized spiritual veins in Dali. Not only is it extremely rich in spiritual energy, but it is also rich in products in the sea. It is a true heaven-given treasure land, so it was chosen by Fu Haizong as the mountain gate.
"He who comes is stopped!"
As soon as Zhang Yao's escape light approached, he was stopped by two patrolling disciples.
The two disciples of Fuhai Sect, who were dressed in navy blue robes, realized that Zhang Yao had a foundation-building cultivation level, and they immediately became more polite:
"Please also report the visitor."
Zhang Yao nodded and said:
"I am a poor man of pure virtue, and as the Lord of the GCC, I am here to pay my respects to the real person of the GCC."
"Master Qingxu?"
Hearing Zhang Yao's words, the two patrolling disciples were also surprised, and their eyes became different.
Qingxu Zhenren is also a well-known foundation-building expert in Dali. What's more, the GCC is an affiliated organization of his own sect, so its popularity within Fuhai Sect is naturally wider.
"It turns out to be Master Qingxu. Please wait a moment. I'll report it right away."
The patrolling disciple said something and then hurriedly turned around and left.
After Zhang Yao waited patiently for a while, he saw the glistening water, waves, light clouds and mist rolling, revealing a wide passage.
"Haha... Qingxu, you're here!"
A hearty laughter passed into the ears, followed by a blue light that shuttled down from the floating island in the sea and sky.
"Master Haihe."
Zhang Yao also came forward to greet him, and after the two exchanged a few words, Master Haihe invited him into the island.
The two people's escape light flew side by side, passing through a large area of the island's scenic spots, and finally landed in a palace in the center of the island, which was the place of spiritual cultivation for Master Haihe.
This was not the first time that Zhang Yao came here. He entered the main hall of the palace as a familiar person, sat down with Master Haihe as guests and hosts, and started drinking tea and chatting.
"...The speed at which you broke through the middle stage of foundation building was a little faster than I thought."
Master Haihe said with emotion:
"If you hadn't denied it yourself, I would have suspected that you also have Tianlinggen qualifications."
Zhang Yao shook his head and said:
"I'm just an earth spirit root. It's a bit of a chance that I can practice faster."
The spiritual root qualifications he recognized externally were always earth spiritual roots.
With the dual-attribute spiritual root qualifications, coupled with the excellent Tao foundation and the zodiac signs of the exercises, it is not too outrageous to have such a speed of cultivation.
"No need to be modest."
Master Haihe waved his hand and said:
"After I was expelled from the master, my cultivation speed was not as fast as yours."
As he spoke, he paused and said:
"You came to Fuhai Sect's mountain gate this time because you want to ask for a share of the 'Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid', right?"
"good."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said:
"I have to trouble the real person to come forward for me in this matter."
Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid is extremely rare. Even within the Fuhai Sect, there are only a few places, and there are countless people competing for it.
When Zhang Yao transferred the Ruyi True Pill, he did not complete the exchange on the spot because the Fuhai Sect at that time did not have any inventory of Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid, and had just successfully refined a batch in the past two years.
If he comes forward to ask for it himself, he may not be able to get his things back smoothly.
After all, all kinds of relationships within a large sect are intertwined, and it's common for people to be sophisticated. It's easy to get stuck for a moment, and you can't go back on a clearly priced transaction, but dragging it on for more than ten years is enough for you.
Zhang Yao didn't want to pay attention to these relationships with Fu Haizong, so he simply asked Master Haihe to come forward - in front of this prince, any relationship was useless and he could only act according to the rules honestly.
"no problem."
Master Haihe readily agreed and said with a smile:
"This is my duty. Even if you don't tell me, I will do it for you."
The Ruyi True Pill that year was brought back to Fu Haizong, which also caused a great sensation.
Who wouldn’t be jealous of sixty years of longevity? Especially the elders of various palaces who were in high positions but were nearing the end of their lifespan were fighting fiercely.
Can end up with:
Ancestor Wanchuan made the decision and gave the Ruyi True Pill to Master Haihe. This blatant partiality made countless people dumbfounded.
It was precisely because of the benefits of the Ruyi True Pill that Master Haihe finally received it, so he said it was his duty.
"You sit and drink tea, I'll be back in a minute."
Master Haihe said, got up and left in a hurry.
Zhang Yao just drank tea and waited patiently. About two quarters of an hour later, Master Haihe came back.
"This is your share of Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid."
After he sat down, he took out a crystal clear vial and handed it to Zhang Yao.
After Zhang Yao reached out to take it, he found that the crystal vial contained a pale golden liquid, shimmering with a hazy luster, which was intoxicating to look at.
"The appearance is extraordinary."
Zhang Yao sighed with admiration in his heart, and after putting away the Kunyuan spirit liquid, he chatted with Master Haihe again.
After chatting for a few words, Master Haihe suddenly waved his sleeves, used magic power to isolate the surroundings, and said with a hint of solemnity in his tone:
"Qingxu, do you know that something big is going to happen in Dali soon?"
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly and he immediately reacted:
"What the real person means is...the Five Elements Secret Realm?"
"right."
Master Haihe nodded solemnly and said:
"At the beginning...the trigger of that incident was to collect soul energy for the person who broke through the realm."
"After so many years, the Realm Breaker is estimated to only have a few years left before he can successfully break through the foundation and meet the conditions to open the core of the secret realm."
"As short as three to five years, as long as seven or eight years, the secret realm of the Five Elements that has been closed for hundreds of years will be opened again!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao nodded slowly and said:
"Yes, this is indeed a big deal."
He also estimated this time before he rushed to break through the middle stage of foundation building and get back the Kunyuan spirit liquid, so as to have an honest reason for long-term seclusion.
Once the Five Elements Secret Realm is opened:
The whole of Da Li will be turbulent, especially the small shareholders of Tianbao Tower and the second-rate forces who have the same qualifications to enter as the GCC will definitely be affected by the Five Elements Secret Realm, and the intensity of competition between them will also ease.
In this case, Zhang Yao's long-term seclusion will not attract too much attention, nor will it cause much trouble to the GCC. After the storm is over, he can continue to be the leader of the GCC.
"I have a hunch that the opening of the Five Elements Secret Realm this time will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes..."
Master Haihe said with an erratic tone:
"There are earth-shattering secrets hidden in the relics of the Five Elements San people, which makes the ancestors of each Jindan family tirelessly pursue them."
"No matter which company gets it, it may lead to an imbalance in strength between each other and may trigger a new round of all-out war, not to mention..."
When he said this, his tone became colder:
"And Yu Wentai, he will never let go of this good opportunity!"
"Yu Wentai?"
Zhang Yao was startled for a moment and said in deep thought:
"As the master of Tianbao Tower and the actual caretaker of the people who broke the realm, Yuwentai is indeed qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Five Elements Secret Realm."
"But he is already invincible through foundation building, and he is also very old. If he cannot break through the golden elixir, everything is just a flower in the mirror."
"In this case, there is no reason for him to get involved in the Five Elements Secret Realm and bring additional risks to himself, right?"
With his status, Yuwentai can be said to have everything he wants. His only regret is that he failed to achieve the Golden Elixir.
Zhang Yao couldn't figure out what reason he had for risking the anger of the four golden elixir ancestors by running to compete with a group of foundation builders for the Five Elements Secret Realm.
Just imagine:
Yuwentai's own strength is already invincible under the golden elixir. If he fights alone, no one in the foundation building stage can defeat him.
However, he is not only powerful himself, but also controls the powerful Tianbao Tower. He has dozens of foundation-building monks under his command. If he participates in the competition in the Five Elements Secret Realm, he will definitely have a huge advantage and even overwhelm the four major golden elixir forces.
When it comes to the interests that are bound to be gained, will those Jindan ancestors continue to tolerate him?
"No, you are wrong."
Master Haihe sighed, with a hint of gloom between his brows:
"On this matter, Yuwentai and several Jindan ancestors have always maintained a close cooperative relationship."
"After all, the Five Elements Secret Realm back then was discovered by Yu Wentai..."
"What?!"
Zhang Yao was shocked when he heard this.
"Did Yu Wentai discover the Five Elements Secret Realm?"
The news that has been publicly circulated by the outside world is that a new foundation-building monk who joined Tianbao Tower more than a hundred years ago accidentally discovered the secret realm of the Five Elements. While publicizing the news, he also dedicated the real secret information to the top management of Tianbao Tower. .
At that time, the top management of Tianbao Tower were members of the five golden elixir forces, which was equivalent to indirectly dedicating the secret realm to the five golden elixir forces.
Since then:
Everyone knew that the foundation-building monk had been rewarded by several golden elixir ancestors, but he himself had disappeared, and the relevant information had also been blocked.
For many years after that, countless monks only talked about envying the luck of the casual cultivator who built the foundation, but no one paid attention to his subsequent outcome.
Zhang Yao also didn't expect that Yu Wentai would be the lucky one back then.
"right."
Master Haihe seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and said in a deep voice:
"To tell you the truth, when I first learned about this secret, I had the same reaction as you."
"Who would have thought that an unknown casual cultivator who had just joined Tianbao Tower would transform many years later and become the powerful owner of Yuwen Tower in Dali?"
At this point, he paused and his tone changed slightly:
"But this is the fact, and it also proves that some people can soar into the sky just because they lack an opportunity..."
After he became enemies with Yuwentai, he had been secretly investigating Yuwentai's origins.
It was also due to the fact that the Fuhai Sect was a powerful Jindan force and had secretly kept the files from that year, and his status was high enough to qualify him to read these files.
It also took him many years to figure out the details of Yu Wentai bit by bit from the vast sea of secret files.
"I also asked the master, but he was unwilling to say more. He warned me that he would tell me when the time is right in the future."
Master Haihe sighed and said in a deep voice:
"But I can conclude that Yuwentai and several Jindan ancestors have already reached relevant agreements on the Five Elements Secret Realm and have been secretly cooperating."
"Even the elite exploration teams formed by several companies were probably led by Yu Wentai. This is also the real reason why he disappeared back then."
"It can be said that he has actually always played a very important role in matters related to the Five Elements Secret Realm."
"As for how he won the trust of several Jindan ancestors, I don't know yet, but one thing I can be sure of..."
As he spoke, his tone became firmer:
"It's probably no coincidence that Yu Wentai was able to discover the secret realm of the Five Elements back then. There must be some kind of secret behind it!"
"good."
Zhang Yao's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice:
"As a real person, I totally agree."
"No one has been able to find out the secret realm left by the Five Elements Lottery for two thousand years. Why can he, Yu Wentai, do it?"
"If this is pure luck, then his luck must be too good, and there is no way to explain why he can win the trust of several Jindan ancestors."
"It seems you and I are on the same page."
Master Haihe nodded slightly and added:
"By the way, there is a secret record in the files I reviewed."
"Yuwentai is not a native of Dali. He claims to be from a small border country in the south near southern Xinjiang. It seems to be called Lu."
"Lu Guo?"
Zhang Yao's pupils shrank, and a huge wave of rage suddenly arose in his heart.
Yuwentai is actually from Lu country? !
