Chapter 382

"The wind blows the willow trees, swish-la-la-la-la, the water in the small river flows, hua-la-la-la-la, whose daughter-in-law is she walking in such a hurry, so it turns out she is returning to her maiden home..."

Humming an old ditty, Zhang Xingyu, accompanied by the demoness Hali, embarked on the journey back to the Southern Zhan Continent.

Three days ago, in order to cope with people's curiosity about what true transmission Dao art he had obtained, Zhang Xingyu had to avoid those fans who were crazy about him and concentrate on meditating and practicing in his cave dwelling. The talisman divine ability "Four Symbols Divine Talisman" bestowed upon him by the great patriarch True Monarch Qingfeng was indeed mysterious. No matter how he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out a clue.

If there's a difficulty, find the system.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyu immediately contacted the system: "System, system, calling system!"

"Ding-dong, host, what are you calling for all day long. This system is resting; being awakened by you consumes quite a bit of God Yuan Value," the system complained.

"Hehe, Great System, calm your anger. I obtained a talisman divine ability, which is extremely mysterious. I was thinking, with your ability, Great System, you must be able to understand it at a glance. So, Boss System, please take a look for me."

"Hmph. I knew you wouldn't have any good intentions when you woke me up. Hurry up and bring it here; this system's time is very precious."

"Got it!"

Zhang Xingyu pressed the jade slip to his brow, then invaded his divine sense into the jade slip.

In a moment, streaks of talismans rushed out of the jade slip and instantly submerged into his brow.

"Ding-dong. Detected one small divine ability seed. Host, do you wish to spend 10,000 points of God Yuan Value to learn this divine ability?"

"Spend, of course I have to spend."

"Ding-dong, host spent 10,000 points of God Yuan Value and learned the small divine ability 'Four Symbols Divine Talisman'."

The moment the system's voice fell, a golden light shot out from the black diamond, lighting up all the talismans circling above the divine sea. A moment later, those talismans began to rearrange and combine, turning into a Green Dragon, then a White Tiger, then a Vermilion Bird, and then a Black Tortoise.

The golden light dissipated, and the system's black diamond submerged into the void of the divine court.

The talismans that had originally turned into the Four Symbols began to slowly collapse, finally turning into streaks of golden flowing light.

At the same time, the cross-legged Divine Infant suddenly opened his eyes. He stretched out his small hand and beckoned gently, and those golden streaks of light rushed toward him one after another, finally submerging into the Godhead on the Divine Infant's forehead.

Zhang Xingyu learned the small divine ability 'Four Symbols Divine Talisman' and was just about to get up and go out to test it. Just then, the figure of a woman suddenly flashed in his mind. The woman had a tall figure, a beautiful face, and a pair of snow-white long legs full of endless temptation. The woman said anxiously: "Zhang Xingyu, the matter is urgent, come and meet with me quickly."

The woman speaking was none other than Fairy Dantai.

Fairy Dantai was suppressing the Black-Hearted Demon King under the Pearl Sea. She was summoning him so hurriedly; could it be that the Black-Hearted Demon King had escaped?

If the Black-Hearted Demon King escaped, I fear that the Dantai Immortal Sect and even the entire Dantai Immortal City would suffer.

No, I must hurry back to help Fairy Dantai.

Zhang Xingyu left the cave dwelling and rode the wind to rush to the cave dwelling of the sect leader, True Monarch Qingfeng. Before leaving, he had to inform the elders of the sect. His beautiful master was in seclusion, and Little Martial Uncle Ling'er was not very reliable, so Zhang Xingyu decided to bid farewell to the sect leader and patriarch.

This time, going to Dantai Immortal City, he decided to take only Hali with him. As for his little disciple, she would definitely have to continue to be entrusted to Martial Uncle Ling'er. As for Master Dog, it was better to leave him at White Jade Pool. After all, the number one beauty of the sect, Yue Linglong, was currently comprehending Dao arts in the crescent moon on Master Dog's neck. If Extinction Master True Monarch Qingyu found out that he had taken Yue Linglong out of the sect, wouldn't she chase him to the ends of the earth?

Patriarch True Monarch Qingfeng was very reasonable. After hearing Zhang Xingyu's application to go out, he agreed without asking too many questions.

After the patriarch approved, Zhang Xingyu did not rush to leave immediately. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the wood-cutting; one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. Compared to leaving, he had an even more important matter to handle.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the patriarch True Monarch Qingfeng, his face showing a pitiful expression: "Patriarch, the disciple has one more matter to request!"

True Monarch Qingfeng looked at him and nodded: "Speak!"

Seeing that True Monarch Qingfeng did not show displeasure, Zhang Xingyu felt slightly relieved.

He was on good terms with Little Martial Uncle Ling'er. According to Little Martial Uncle Ling'er, her sect-leading father had always been strict with disciples, and even treated her, his daughter, without a kind face.

"Yes. Patriarch. Half a year ago, in order to help my beautiful master with her cultivation, the disciple emptied all the spiritual stones on his person. Now the disciple must rush to Dantai Immortal City to provide support; the journey is long, and if I rely solely on sword riding, I fear that by the time the disciple arrives, the day lily will have wilted. Therefore, the disciple wants to use the teleportation array. It's just that the disciple's sleeves are empty, so I ask the patriarch to support me a little."

Hearing this, True Monarch Qingfeng stared at Zhang Xingyu blankly for a long time.

"I never thought that in my Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Gate, there would still be such a destitute True Transmission Disciple."

After True Monarch Qingfeng finished speaking, he casually threw a storage ring and a spiritual talisman to Zhang Xingyu.

"There are a million spiritual stones in the ring, which should be enough for your expenses on this trip. In addition, this spiritual talisman is called the Ten Thousand Mile Return to Sect Talisman. On this Xuantiandalu, no matter where you are, as long as you activate this spiritual talisman, you can be instantly teleported back into the sect. Do not use it lightly unless it is a life-or-death situation."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Patriarch. Thank you, Patriarch."

True Monarch Qingfeng waved his hand to stop him: "Don't be too happy. These spiritual stones are temporarily lent to you; you will have to pay them back in the future."

Zhang Xingyu nodded hurriedly: "Understood, understood, I will definitely pay them back, the disciple will definitely pay them back."

True Monarch Qingfeng nodded, then served tea to see the guest out.

Zhang Xingyu tactfully got up to bid farewell.

"Wait!"

Just as he reached the door, True Monarch Qingfeng called him back again.

"Go quickly and return quickly. Three months from now, the decennial Heavenly Pride Competition will be held in Shengjing Immortal City, and the sect plans to send you to participate. You must prepare well and not delay the competition."

"Yes."

Zhang Xingyu nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Patriarch, is there any reward for participating in this Heavenly Pride Competition?"

The breeze blew gently, and the willows swayed.

After a long-distance teleportation of over a million miles, Zhang Xingyu returned once again to the Southern Zhan Continent, which he had been away from for so long.

Dantai Immortal City, Senior Sister Dantai, I am back.

West of Dantai City, on the Pearl Sea.

The lake light rippled, and the mountain colors were hazy.

Zhang Xingyu held Hali and plunged into the cool lake water.

Reaching the bottom of the lake, following the path in his memory, turning left and right, he finally found the gate to the underground palace at the bottom of the lake.

Driving his spiritual power, unlocking the array, and pushing open the gate.

Following a narrow corridor, passing through the gallery guarded by the Qiongqi and Taotie, he finally arrived at the main hall where the Black-Hearted Demon King was suppressed.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu enter from the door, Fairy Dantai stood up and beckoned to Zhang Xingyu.

"Senior Sister! You summoned me back so urgently; has the Black-Hearted Demon King escaped?"

"That hasn't happened. But it's close."

"Ah. What kind of talk is that?"

Fairy Dantai blinked at Zhang Xingyu, then pointed her jade finger at the center of her own brow.

Zhang Xingyu looked over, only to see a streak of black energy entrenched in the center of her brow, just like an ink-black mole.

"Senior Sister! What is going on? Could it be that you are influenced by the Black-Hearted Demon King and are about to fall into the demonic path?"

Hearing this, Fairy Dantai giggled and laughed.

"What are you blindly thinking? I am about to face the Heavenly Tribulation. Over these years, I have tried every method to suppress the growth of my cultivation, but I didn't expect that it would still be time to cross the tribulation and ascend."

"Cross the tribulation and ascend? Senior Sister, I heard from those Tribulation Transcendence stage big shots that the ascension channel to the Immortal Realm was collapsed by the immortals of the lower realm, and one cannot ascend now."

Fairy Dantai smiled: "That is their ascension method without cultivating external arts. Unlike them, Changsheng and I pay more attention to cultivating external arts. When the external arts are complete, the ascension channel will naturally open."

"External arts?"

"Yes, external arts."

"What are external arts?"

"External arts are also called merit. Benefiting all living beings can gain merit. When merit is complete, one can ascend."

"Oh. So that's how it is. So you are saying, Senior Sister, you are going to ascend. But, Senior Sister, if you ascend, what will happen to the Black-Hearted Demon King?"

Fairy Dantai smiled knowingly: "Hehe, as for the Black-Hearted Demon King, didn't I find you?"

A series of question marks appeared on Zhang Xingyu's forehead: "Senior Sister, rely on me? A Nascent Soul dealing with a Demon King?"

Fairy Dantai nodded: "Just rely on you. I have a premonition that only you can completely suppress the Black-Hearted Demon King. Therefore, after I ascend, the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Black-Hearted Demon King and saving world peace will all depend on you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyu had a bitter face: "Hehe, Senior Sister, you really think highly of me."
