Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"The property of the high-level Tiangong..."

Zhang Yao frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The whereabouts of Man Tiantian's body is confidential, so I can't disclose it."

"If Fellow Daoist He Ze insists on getting entangled in this matter, then there is no need to discuss the matter of inviting me to join Ziyao Tiangong."

When he was in the Emerald Shrine back then, he never thought of taking away Man Tiansheng's body, after all, he didn't practice heresy ways.

Since the corpse is not in his hands, and Man Tiansheng did not kill him, it is impossible for him to be responsible.

What does the property loss of Tiangong's senior management have to do with him?

"Fellow Taoist Qingxu, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Heze quickly stood up and apologized:

"It's me, Meng Lang, and I hope Fellow Daoist will forgive me."

After speaking, he paused, and then whispered:

"Well, when I go back, I will reply that Man Tiansheng's body has been completely damaged and cannot be recovered."

"In this way, we both have an explanation, what do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Man Tiansheng's remains were not his property and that of Patriarch Heze, so he didn't want to offend Patriarch Qingxu because of this matter.

"That's okay..."

Zhang Yao pondered for a moment before asking cautiously:

"Based on what Fellow Daoist sees, will the higher-ups of Tiangong pursue this matter further?"

"That's unlikely."

Patriarch Heze said in a positive tone:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu may not be aware that although Naman Tiansheng signed the 'Ziyaojin Contract', in the eyes of the higher-ups of Tiangong, there is a high probability that he is not taken seriously."

"For one thing, his cultivation base is limited, he has just broken through the early stage of Golden Core, and the signing of the deed is not long, Tiangong has not invested much resources in him."

"Secondly, he has to perform tasks for Tiangong regularly and pay spirit stones. This is also one of the prices for signing the 'Ziyaojin Contract'..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao immediately understood:

"So, he is purely a monk working for the high-level of Tiangong?"

"The resources that the high-level officials of Tiangong invested in him may have recovered a lot, so they don't pay much attention to it."

"Fellow Daoist really hits the nail on the head."

Patriarch Heze smiled and said:

"As I said before, Man Tiansheng had no access to the golden elixir in this life, but he got the chance to step into the golden elixir because of the attention of the high-level people in Tiangong."

"If you can sign a legal contract, you can exchange for the opportunity to refine the golden elixir. I am afraid that thousands of foundation-building monks in the world will not hesitate at all."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Yao couldn't help nodding slightly in agreement.

Although the conditions of the Ziyao Golden Deed were harsh, it would not be as miserable as being a slave after all. Without this deed, Man Tian would have died of old age, let alone become a golden elixir.

It's just that Jindan cultivators who have come up through normal cultivation, unless they are desperate, no one is willing to sign this kind of legal contract.

"Um……"

Zhang Yao pondered for a while, and after careful consideration, he said slowly:

"Then I am willing to join Ziyao Tiangong."

"good!"

Upon hearing the words, Patriarch Heze suddenly let out a long laugh, and said:

"Don't worry fellow daoist, you will never regret this decision!"

While he was speaking, he stretched out his hand and turned it over, and there was a purple token in his palm, and handed it to Zhang Yao:

"Fellow Daoist, please accept this. This is the identity token of the peripheral members of Ziyao Heavenly Palace."

After Zhang Yao took it, he heard Patriarch Heze exhort:

"Fellow daoists, please remember that this token can only serve as the simplest identification effect, and it cannot prove the specific identity of the member itself."

"If you want to take advantage of the channels and convenience of Tiangong, this 'Palace Catalog' is the most important thing."

The voice fell:

Ancestor He Ze reached into his sleeve, solemnly took out a jade slip, and after releasing the restriction with a formula, he signaled Zhang Yao to use his spiritual sense to investigate.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Yao reached out with a ray of divine thought, and scanned the content of the jade slip in an instant, it was a huge map.

The map covered the range that Zhang Yao had only seen in his life, including the mountains and rivers of the nine prefectures of Tianzhou and the fifty-four countries of the Central Plains. Although it was only a rough idea, it was still shocking.

What moved Zhang Yao the most was:

In the nine prefectures of Tianzhou, each prefecture has a palace set up by Ziyao Tiangong; among the fifty-four countries, a total of forty-nine countries have a palace set up in the immortal world of Ziyao Tiangong.

"This is the real giant that spans the Central Plains..."

Zhang Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

Although he had long expected that Ziyao Tiangong would be large in scale, he never expected it to be this large.

There are fifty-eight palaces, even if there is only one Jindan cultivator stationed in each palace, there are a total of fifty-eight Jindan ancestors!

Not to mention, those who can sit in the palace must be internal members trusted by the high-level officials of Tiangong. Not unusual.

"It's no wonder that Patriarch Heze used the word 'vast' to describe the power that Ziyao Tiangong's channel can pry."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao felt a little joy in his heart:

"With the help of Ziyao Tiangong's channel, the efficiency of collecting the remaining rare treasures of heaven and earth will increase by at least dozens of times!"

Liu Cang, the former Five Elements Sanren, spent almost three hundred years in the face of hardships and dangers and good luck.

Zhang Yao was originally prepared to live a long life and encounter chances a little bit, but he didn't expect to borrow the east wind from Ziyao Tiangong and see hope all of a sudden.

Wuxing Sanren lived more than 2,000 years ago, but he didn't know the existence of Ziyao Tiangong at all.

Judging from Zhang Yao's guess, either Ziyao Tiangong had not yet appeared at that time, or the scale was not large, so Liu Cang, the Five Elements Sanman, had never heard of it.

"Friend Daoist He Ze."

Zhang Yao chatted with Patriarch Heze for a while before asking:

"Why is there no Ziyao Heavenly Palace in the territory of Mani Kingdom?"

"Hey, there's no other way."

He Ze Patriarch also showed a hint of helplessness when he heard this remark:

"Mani Temple's control over this country is really terrifying!"

"Even if the people from Ziyao Tiangong infiltrate, they are destined to be unable to hide it, and they will be watched everywhere, so they simply withdrew."

"Fortunately, among the fifty-four countries in the Central Plains, there are not many special countries like the Mani Kingdom. Most of the countries and the Tiangong can be regarded as behemoths hidden under the deep water."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

The two chatted for another half an hour before Zhang Yaocai sent Ancestor He Ze out of Changle Palace, turned around and returned to Fengmo Palace.

"boom!"

After a few breaths, a ray of light soared into the sky and flew out of Changle Palace.

Inside the Demon Sealing Hall, Zhang Yao was sitting cross-legged, except for his divine thoughts to control mana and continuously refining demonic energy, the rest of his mind was projected into the avatar puppet from the air.

His avatar puppet can only be controlled within a hundred thousand miles, and the connection will be disconnected if it exceeds this range.

Fortunately, the location of Ziyao Palace in Bingzang Kingdom, next to Mani Kingdom, is just within a hundred thousand miles away from him, so he doesn't have to ask others.

"This feeling is really like a very small-scale, simplified version of the Immortal Tournament Formation."

Above the sky, Zhang Yao piloted the avatar puppet while flying away, while still comprehending the magical function of the puppet body.

Being able to project divine thoughts and consciousness through the air, this puppet's core forbidden technique and divine travel formation must have something in common.

Zhang Yao is also a great expert in formations and weapon refining. His divine sense penetrated into the center of the puppet, constantly capturing the traces of mana circulation, trying to deduce the core forbidden method.

Not to mention too much, as long as the deduction is 40 to 50%, he will be satisfied.

Firstly, in the future, he will be able to study and deduce the magic weapon of ultra-long-distance communication by himself in the future; secondly, it can also prevent the situation that the ancestor Heze did something in this incarnation of a puppet, but he could not find out.

…………

A few days later, the slower puppet incarnation finally fled to the territory of Bingzang.

It is also thanks to the power source of the puppet incarnation being high-grade spirit stones, otherwise, I am afraid that even the long barren belt would not be able to cross, which also made Zhang Yao further feel the limitations of the puppet incarnation.

After a low-key flight for several days, Zhang Yao took the Tiangong Token and successfully entered the Ziyao Palace in Bingzang.

soon:

With the help of Ziyao Tiangong's platform, he issued a reward for all the palaces and members of Tiangong to seek the corresponding treasures of heaven and earth.

As for the internal channels of Ziyao Tiangong, he has also inquired about it. The price of various spiritual gold materials is indeed much cheaper than outside, but unfortunately there is nothing he needs.

Zhang Yao had already expected this.

After all, the rare treasures of heaven and earth he needs are more precious than the same. Even if there are survivors inside the Tiangong, they are mostly in the hands of the high-level officials of the Tiangong, and it is unlikely that they will be exiled.

After finishing this matter, Zhang Yao manipulated the avatar puppet to return to the territory of Mani Kingdom, and then devoted himself to the hidden cultivation method.

In the blink of an eye, more than seven years have passed.

In the past seven years, Zhang Yao has been daily refining tacit understanding, comprehending and cultivating supernatural powers, communicating with many Jindan comrades, and also participated in two Fa conferences. His life is extremely fulfilling.

this day:

"call……"

In the Hall of Sealing Demons in Changle Palace, Zhang Yao breathed out a foul breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"What happened to Taoist Shuang that day, there is no news yet..."

His brow furrowed slightly.

Before Taoist Tianshuang left, he said that he would be back in a few years, but now it has been more than seven years, but there is still no news.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was also a Jindan Patriarch, Zhang Yao would have wondered if something happened to him on the way home.

"I don't know if this person is reliable or not."

"If he can't fetch the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Soul for me, then we have to prepare for this matter early and find another way..."

When Zhang Yao was thinking, his expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head.

"This feeling……"

In his induction, the turbid air overflowing from the Demon-Suppressing Well at the rear suddenly became manic.

Spiritual thoughts penetrate into further induction:

The turbid air in the Demon-Suppressing Well is almost like boiling water, tumbling endlessly. There is a huge vortex rising faintly, and it seems that something is swallowing the devil's energy in the depths of the well!

"This is a sign of the birth of a Jindan-level Yin Demon!"

After Zhang Yao made a judgment in his heart, he was not surprised but happy, showing a smile:

"After waiting for so many years... finally let me wait!"
