Observatory Platform, within the Library Pavilion
Around Zhang Jian, magical power flowed like a long river, rging the Sheji Qiankun Spiritual chanism within the layers of the profound void into the depths of his Yin Spirit.
The return of the Yin Soul Mark purged the Resentful Evil Qi rooted within his body, making his Yin Spirit Divine Sense more refined and pure.
The responsiveness of his Yin Spirit Divine Sense grew ever rapid, allowing Zhang Jian to remotely sense the Celestial Heart Will deep in the profound void, granting him an early sense of premonition.
This transformation was truly marvelous.
Although Zhang Jian had previously possessed a degree of such abilities due to his strong soul.
But now it was clearer, as if he was close to Heaven and Earth, becoming a favored child of the universe.
Zhang Jian knew that the sense of premonition was typically a unique trait of a Primordial Spirit Master.
Zhang Jian’s expression showed slight amazent.
Quantitative change can never replace qualitative change.
However, quantitative change is the prerequisite for qualitative change.
Once quantitative change is achieved, triggering qualitative change becos much easier.
Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered, although he had just passed the First Layer, he felt a certain anticipation for the subsequent layers of tribulation.
But he quickly suppressed this restless mindset, planning to completely adapt to the changes after the first tribulation of his Yin Spirit, before advancing to the second tribulation.
At this mont, he felt that the power of his Yin Spirit was still far from its limit.
Just then, Zhang Jian sensed so fluctuations at the magic ban on the study door, so he got up to open the door.
He saw He Ying Daoist was standing outside, a young girl in a light green Daoist Robe, her figure graceful, with a countenance like a blossoming flower, radiating a youthful aura.
Seeing Zhang Jian appeared, He Ying Daoist paused, but her face was full of joy.
"Sir!"
At this ti, she was holding a Copper Disc, on which were so exquisite dishes and wine.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fell on He Ying Daoist, he noticed that she had completed her Divination Foundation Establishnt.
In a very good mood, Zhang Jian chuckled.
"Congratulations on completing your Divination smoothly and cultivating magical power!"
Upon hearing, He Ying Daoist respectfully set down the dishes and respectfully saluted in front of Zhang Jian.
"If not for your guidance, I would still be trapped in my obsession. I truly don’t know how to repay your kindness!"
She pursed her lips, looking very earnest.
Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishnt are critical steps in entering the path of cultivation.
Many fellow disciples at Dong Shen Temple are stuck at this step, but once breakthrough is achieved, one’s status changes completely.
Compared to her senior brothers and sisters, she was quite fortunate to receive a Ling Yuan Dao Map from Zhang Shidu, which boosted her confidence and enabled her to locate the Life Palace and consolidate magical power.
Zhang Jian smiled upon hearing.
"Your culinary skills are quite delightful. If you wish to repay , perhaps you could prepare a few more delicious dishes daily. That would count as repaynt!"
Upon hearing, He Ying Daoist’s eyes sparkled with delight.
"Sir, it is indeed a blessing for !"
Zhang Jian nodded, smiling gently.
Having reached Zhang Jian’s level of Dao Practice, the desire for food was negligible, yet he retained such habits, as if still living among mortals.
...
Not long after Zhang Jian completed his breakthrough, a group of Black-clothed Guards appeared below the Observatory Platform.
Inford by He Ying Daoist, Zhang Jian descended from the Observatory Platform.
"Mr. Zhang!"
The person coming to see Zhang Jian was still Zhao Hu from the Black-clothed Guard Office.
This Deputy Commander had co regarding the previous assassination attempt, to report on the interrogation progress.
After several days and nights of intense questioning by the Black-clothed Guard Office, they had managed to pry open the mouth of Tie Bi Daoist.
"They are covert agents of the Black Dragon Sect, there are still others within Haojing City, including a Marquis and several Low-Tier Officials, all of whom have now been apprehended by our Black-clothed Guards!"
"The attack on the two young masters by Tie Bi Daoist was impulsive, not planned by the Black Dragon Sect targeting them!"
Upon hearing, Zhang Jian nodded.
"What is the background of the Black Dragon Sect?"
This sect was unfamiliar to Zhang Jian, but daring to target the Daqian Dragon Vein, they must not be an insignificant sect.
"Black Dragon Sect is a Heterodox Sect outside the Two Realms North Pole City, also a major Demon Dao sect, but quite mysterious, possessing Secret Techniques to steal the power of Heaven and Earth Acupoints, especially adept at siphoning Dragon Vein Essence, serving their own interests, veritable giant mice!"
Zhao Hu’s eyes showed disdain, he was very displeased with the attitude displayed by Black Dragon Sect.
Black Dragon Sect had caused him much trouble.
Upon hearing, Zhang Jian was intrigued, a sect capable of tapping into Feng Shui Acupoints’ power to nourish themselves seed quite unique.
However, daring to provoke Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhao, he would not easily let them go.
Zhao Hu felt a bit troubled, the threat Black Dragon Sect posed to the Dragon Vein far exceeded other ordinary sects, figuring out how to prevent their disruptions was a tough challenge for the Black-clothed Guard Office.
He would have a lot of work to do.
Actually, what troubled Zhao Hu the most was that Black Dragon Sect seed to possess a Secret Technique to resist and suppress Dragon and Tiger Qi.
After so thought, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Jian.
"What is this?"
Zhang Jian had already seen this book.
"Turtle Origin Strategy!"
Zhang Jian glanced at it, showing a trace of interest.
Zhao Hu respectfully explained."This is a rare book obtained from the eradication of Changqing Marquis’s Mansion, also part of Tie Bi Daoist’s collection!"
Zhao Hu nodded slightly.
"This is the authentic copy, the Chief Commander said that Mr. Zhang enjoys reading, especially peculiar books of the world, so he sent to bring it so that Mr. Zhang could have a look!"
As Zhang Jian flipped through the book, a smile surfaced in his eyes.
"Legend has it that there are several unparalleled books in the art of Feng Shui and Divination, masterpieces of the great masters of those arts, and Turtle Origin Strategy is one of them. It is indeed a fortune to see it today!"
"Please thank the Chief Minister on my behalf!"
Zhao Hu nodded slightly.
Then, cupping his fists, he led his n away in a hurry, having more official duties to attend to.
...
anwhile, Chao Mu was in Jingtai Hall.
In Jingtai Hall, Emperor Jingwu was standing before an ink-wash Danqing Painting, his eyes filled with admiration, unable to part with the painting.
"A fine painting, subli verses, Mr. Zhang is truly a potential Saint. Every ti I read these verses, I gain sothing new, it seems my headaches lessen, and my spirit livens!"
Emperor Jingwu was in high spirits, his expression joyful.
Chao Mu stood beside him, nodding secretly, but not only Emperor Jingwu, even he gained so benefits from it.
His gaze turned, only to see a painting hanging beside the Imperial Desk.
A Bodhi Tree, swaying as if coming to life, its every leaf enveloped in a profound, luminous aura, rustling in the gentle breeze.
Beneath it sat a monk with a full and serene countenance.
Beside it, another line of powerful and vigorous small characters.
A Bodhi tree is the body, a bright mirror is the mind, remain diligent in dusting it off, so that dust does not alight!
Chao Mu felt mildly surprised, evidently not anticipating Zhang Jian’s profound mastery over Buddhist Dao classics.
He had encountered Buddhist Dao Lineage High Monks before.
So were skilled in debate, others had profound magical power, but none had such literary talent.
