Zhang Yan's talisman soldiers returned again, and after collecting the gold foil from this trip, Zhang Yan could not help but feel a little emotional.
Xue E's impression of Zhang Yan has always been that of a bold, careful and ambitious man. Otherwise, he would not have thought of this person first when he decided to return to the Pastoral School to do the gold foil business decades ago.
But Xue E's talent was beyond Zhang Yan's expectation. He also had the same view of Xue E as most people in the Pastoral Sect. He even thought that Xue E would have the bottom-line secret skills of the great world that he gave as a reference.
Reorganizing one's own spiritual path may not necessarily lead to the opportunity to break through the last threshold and enter the heavenly realm.
But Xue E used the most powerful answer to turn Zhang Yan's guess into a joke. It only took him sixty years to successfully break through the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm and successfully survive the Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.
This is the first point that Zhang Yan admits he underestimated Xue E. From now on, Xue E and the Dahongtian Alliance led by him will no longer be the force that even the third-rate can't join. This change is definitely not trivial. And it will definitely change.
It will bring about a chain reaction. It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.
The second reason why Xue E made Zhang Yan feel that he underestimated him was that he was far more decisive and ruthless than ordinary people.
This point starts with the fact that Xue E had to meet Zhang Yan's talisman soldiers once before he could successfully overcome the tribulation. Let the talisman soldiers pass the message on his behalf, which showed respect and would not leave any trace behind. But the content was unexpected.
In Zhang Yan's view, Xue E's decision to let Fu Bing pass on his legacy was definitely a "bold act". But upon closer inspection, it was not just "preparing for a rainy day" or even "strike first to gain the upper hand." Zhang Yan also had to say this vision and courage.
A cry of admiration.
So what did Xue E say?
Xue E wanted Zhang Yan to take action at the right time and help him kill the sect leader of the Yuhao Great World Alliance who was in the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the two elders who were in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. At the same time, he also hoped to provide a large number of people from the Human Immortal Realm and the generals.
The powerful talisman of the Xuan Realm. Xue E was willing to exchange these things with Duoyashan at a suitable price.
What does ruthlessness mean? This must be it.
Help? This is really not a difficult task for Zhang Yan. When he was in the ruins of the Sword Tomb, he was still in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and could kill several people in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm with the time lock and the Earth Book. Although he had a sword
Blessed by the special environment in the tomb ruins. But now Zhang Yan's cultivation has made steady progress in the past sixty years, and has successfully entered the middle stage of the Celestial Realm. With the help of the tens of thousands of phase beads that specialize in killing, he can kill a mid-stage Celestial Realm person.
And the two early stages are almost as easy as playing.
But what’s the price? Naturally, it’s gold foil.
Nowadays, Dahongtian relies on various channels and the huge resources subsidized by itself. For Dahongtian, this is actually emptying out the wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Don’t look at the value of the things obtained are not low or even higher.
, but for one force, it often needs to be treated differently.
Just like a family cannot only have gold but no food.
Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic and unsustainable to expect Da Hongtian to continue to use his pockets to supplement resources to exchange for gold foil. The situation is similar to that of Zhang Yan in the Chaos Sect. There are too many gold foils, and it is impossible to replace them with what is in his hand. If you want to,
There is another way.
From Zhang Yan's perspective, Xue E's invitation to Fang Yuhao's Great World Alliance was not only to prepare for a rainy day, but also to take advantage of the situation by robbing the rich and helping the poor. Of course, it was not to help others, but to help Da Hongtian himself.
You can imagine how many resources a third-rate force that has been entrenched for much longer and much larger than Da Hongtian has accumulated. Once it is obtained, let alone four hundred yuan, double the amount of gold foil can be afforded.
It's just that it's not appropriate to wait until Da Hongtian opens and closes the gold foil in the Pastoral Sect. Because that will inevitably not bypass the top forces in the Pastoral Sect. Then Da Hongtian will be in big trouble.
Of course, there is no need for Zhang Yan to consider whether Da Hongtian will be in big trouble in the future. After all, it is still uncertain whether Xue E's plan is as he guessed. What if Xue E just came to check on him first?
What about his tone of voice? It’s possible.
"Let Xue E finalize the decision next time I go there. If he wants to take action, Duoyashan will definitely help. It depends on whether Xue E really wants to strike first as he said."
Zhang Yan made a decision while turning his thoughts back to himself.
In sixty years, Zhang Yan relied on the new addition of the five Hongmeng Purple Qi to directly break through the early barrier of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and enter the middle stage. The growth in strength is also visible to the naked eye.
】
Especially in the application of rules, whether it is self-strengthening or exclusiveness, it is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Instead of competing with his previous self simply using the mainstream rules and environment, Zhang Yan can now easily compete with his previous self.
All of his own mainstream rules are squeezed out, creating a crushing environment that the other party cannot compete with.
This is actually the main aspect of competition between the Celestial Immortals and the Golden Immortals.
In addition to hard power, Zhang Yan's improvement in means is also quite significant.
I don’t know if it’s because he had enough cultivation and experienced thousands of active reincarnations, but Zhang Yan’s understanding of “The Way of Meaning” was not slow from the beginning, and as he deepened, not only did he not
The slowdown is getting faster and faster. Now that he wants to condense the attack of "one way of intention", that is, sword intention, he can pick it up at will, feed it back, and even pull his sword to improve rapidly.
It's just that Zhang Yan's swordsmanship is different from those described in Taoist books, such as "seeing the world", "seeing the future" and "seeing all living beings". This is because his swordsmanship is not intended to make him a swordsman or even a swordsman.
It exists as a tool for him to further master the sword formation. Therefore, his swordsmanship is more inclined to the attributes of the sword formation, that is, "control" and "killing intent".
Mastery is the foundation for all formations to follow.
As for the murderous intention, this was not what Zhang Yan thought about, but it was formed naturally over time because he had been in contact with the four great killing swords for a long time and used the Immortal Killing Sword Domain to enrich his swordsmanship.
With these improvements, Zhang Yan's mastery of the sword formation of the Immortal Killing Sword Domain is completely different from what it was sixty years ago. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as one sky and one earth.
Of course, the biggest reward after all this effort was the more than 400 pieces of gold foil collected from the Madrigal School.
Counting the batch of food brought back this time, nearly 800 pieces of gold foil have changed the prototypes of the four killing swords in Zhang Yandao Dan. The progress of the reshaping can be seen just by looking at their body shapes.
Sixty years ago, it was just a little bigger than a toothpick. Now it is a full four inches in size. This size is almost the same as some small flying swords.
Now the Immortal Killing Sword Domain is no longer limited to a radius of less than ten feet, but directly expanded to a radius of one hundred feet. This range can be regarded as barely touching the coverage threshold of a sword formation.
In other words, the Immortal Killing Sword Domain at this time is already a real sword array that can be used.
