Chapter 794: Spiritual Energy Revival
However, the Queen Mother did not seem to care much. Instead, she asked leisurely, "By the way, is Yan'er doing well recently?"
The head of Zhongjiandao heard this, and then he hurriedly stood up and said, "To reply to the Queen Mother, Yan'er is doing well recently. She is also very concerned about the Queen Mother. I think she will come to visit the Queen Mother in the near future."
"Oh? Then I will wait for her to come. It is true that I haven't seen Yan'er for some time. Although she is now your descendant, after all, I have watched her grow up..."
The Queen Mother seemed to have a good relationship with Bai Feiyan, and even a very close relationship. After hearing this, the head of Zhongjiandao roughly knew what the Queen Mother meant.
The Queen Mother meant that her relationship with Bai Feiyan was much closer than her relationship with him, an old Taoist. Now that Bai Feiyan is a descendant, it means that the Queen Mother has more cards in her hand.
The Queen Mother holds the Emperor's cards. Generally speaking, the Emperor dares not act recklessly. In addition, she also holds the card of Zhongjian Dao, so she is also very confident. Naturally, she still hopes that the eldest grandson will be the crown prince. If the head of Zhongjian Dao knows what's good for him, he should know what the Queen Mother means.
What is the way to ask for the sword? That's just a trick. After all, isn't it the result of private discussions?
Back then, didn't the old Taoist go to see the Queen Mother and finally choose the current emperor as the emperor?
What is the rhetoric of relying on luck? That's just nonsense. The Queen Mother knows too well the operating mechanism behind this set. This is not much different from the royal family ascending the throne. In essence, it is the result of the final balance of forces from all sides.
Now, it is just a matter of selecting candidates through the military examination, but this is the Queen Mother's idea. The old emperor does not think so. His idea is actually the same as that of the previous emperor, because whoever sits on the throne will first consider the issue of the country, not the balance of forces.
If a fool is replaced, even if this fool is recognized by all forces, the country will inevitably be destroyed in the hands of such a fool, and the old emperor will definitely die with regrets. Therefore, the old emperor's concerns are based on the overall situation.
Don't underestimate the position of the prince. This is the crown prince, who will inherit the great cause in the future. Now the old emperor is worried about this matter, but in fact, he is not without a candidate in his heart. The eighth prince should be the candidate he thinks is not bad.
But since the Empress Dowager came here, so many things have happened in the palace until now, and he hasn't seen anyone mention the Eighth Prince. Such a powerful person suddenly appeared in the forbidden area of the palace, and he can go wherever he wants, and no one can stop him. How can this be tolerated?
But the Empress Dowager suddenly cared about Bai Feiyan, which made the old emperor suspicious. He also quietly looked at the head of Zhongjiandao. The old Taoist pretended to be stupid. He answered whatever the Empress Dowager asked, and he was completely watertight, not revealing anything about Zhang Zhiwen.
In fact, the moment Zhang Zhiwen appeared in front of him, his expression had already betrayed him. The old emperor saw it, and the Empress Dowager saw it, but they didn't break the casserole to ask the truth.
At this moment, the old Taoist was naturally thinking about Zhang Zhiwen's affairs. As for the prince's position, he was not worried at all. Zhongjiandao asked that the sword was real, not false, and it was destined by heaven, and he had no right to interfere.
Therefore, he just accompanied Bai Feiyan down the mountain to pretend. He was thinking more about Zhang Zhiwen. He could tell at a glance that Zhang Zhiwen was the old master of the Houye. But why did the master suddenly appear? Where did the master who had disappeared for hundreds of years go?
These things made the old Taoist more anxious than he seemed, especially since Bai Feiyan had not replied to him yet. He didn't know what was going on outside. What would happen if Zhang Zhiwen met Bai Feiyan?
The old Taoist knew some of Bai Feiyan's thoughts. It was not difficult to guess his own disciple's thoughts. He was staring at the portrait of the master all day long. What else could this be? The old Taoist had seen this kind of thing a long time ago.
There was nothing strange about this kind of thing. It was not uncommon for the youngest and most outstanding female disciple of Zhongjiandao to fall in love with the master. But the master of the Houye was a figure from hundreds of years ago. He had long disappeared and was not known whether he was dead or alive. He was probably dead.
But who would have thought that he would actually see the Marquis's ancestor with his own eyes today? The shock in the old Taoist's heart was definitely much more intense than that of the old emperor and the empress dowager. He even had the urge to go out and find Zhang Zhiwen's whereabouts right now.
But he couldn't leave now. He had to stay to deal with the empress dowager and the old emperor. In addition, he didn't know where to find Zhang Zhiwen. He was the head of the Zhongjian Dao. When he saw his own Marquis's ancestor, he should have worshiped and kowtowed as soon as possible.
But he didn't, and Bai Feiyan didn't either. That was because they couldn't be sure at the beginning whether Zhang Zhiwen was their own Marquis's ancestor. What if he wasn't? This matter must be asked first to understand.
With such considerations, the old Taoist would definitely not leak anything. On the other hand, Bai Feiyan gradually realized that Zhang Zhiwen was the ancestor of the Marquis, but she also got personal confirmation. At least Zhang Zhiwen has not said until now that he is the ancestor of the Marquis of the Zhongjian Dao. In fact, Zhang Zhiwen does not think that he is the ancestor of the Marquis. He has not created any Zhongjian Dao, so how can he admit it?
He couldn't tell Bai Feiyan that he was a cultivator from another world. He felt that this kind of thing involved too much. If it caused the butterfly effect of time and space, it would be even worse.
Therefore, the two sides were almost in a delicate tacit understanding and balance. No one asked anything. Even the empress dowager and the old emperor seemed to feel that they had to maintain this delicate balance. They didn't seem to ask anything in particular, and basically avoided talking about it.
This is the current situation. When the martial arts exam came, such a thing happened, but almost no one outside knew about it. The princes didn't know about it. Although the eighth prince had seen Zhang Zhiwen, he didn't know where Zhang Zhiwen came from. He only thought that Zhang Zhiwen was a folk master, or a guest official of one of the emperor's brothers, who accidentally came to the palace and then met him.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen actually stayed so magically, and no one knew his exact identity, and the fluctuation of time and space did not change in any special way. Or maybe this hell realm was developed like this, and Zhang Zhiwen would appear in this place sooner or later?
The hell realm is so mysterious that Zhang Zhiwen can't figure out what the final situation is now, but no matter what, Zhang Zhiwen has probably found some clues.
One is the underworld, and the other is Bai Feiyan, who is in the sword way. They are very closely related to him, and the old Taoist is also. The old Taoist was killed in the battle, but who would have thought that he would appear in front of him again now. Maybe it is the previous life of the old Taoist, or simply the old Taoist himself.
Zhang Zhiwen thought carefully. When he first came to Dayan City, he met the old demon, and then the old Taoist appeared and saved him. If the old Taoist is the old Taoist now, does it mean that this time and space have undergone great changes and spiritual energy has begun to revive?
If the spiritual energy in this time and space is revived, then the final outcome is to fall into the abyss, because the spiritual energy revived itself is to grab the essence of the mysteries of heaven and earth, and this world is not qualified to obtain the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it must have taken some unusual path...
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen roughly figured out what was going on, and his thoughts seemed to be getting clearer. He should have been to the underworld many times, and he should have been to the underworld more than once, and the so-called corpse seemed to be his corpse, and he seemed to have died once.
In other words, he died once, but he came back in the end, and even returned to the earlier time and space, that is, the period when the Great Yan Dynasty was still extremely prosperous.
"What are you... thinking about?"
The voice of Bai Feiyan suddenly came to his ears, interrupting Zhang Zhiwen's thoughts.
Zhang Zhiwen glanced at her and said nothing. He was about to continue to sort out the whole train of thought, but Bai Feiyan said again: "Are you the ancestor of Lord Zhang Zhiwen?"
Bai Feiyan had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but now she had to ask it. She couldn't hold it back. She felt that her spirit became stronger with the arrival of Zhang Zhiwen, and she even felt a trace of breath that had never existed in this world.
I don't know how this breath came. Suddenly, this world appeared. It seemed that something outside broke the balance of this world, and gave this world some opportunities to peek into the way of heaven.
In just a short while, she felt these breaths, and then she began to naturally operate the Changsheng Sutra. This Changsheng Sutra was actually effective. The Changsheng Sutra that she had not practiced for many years was unconsciously opened in this situation.
Not only that, she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart, and she couldn't help asking.
Zhang Zhiwen glanced at her, and this time he also saw something different about Bai Feiyan. How did Bai Feiyan suddenly become brighter and more attractive? He even felt that she had faint characteristics of the Qi Refining Stage?
Zhang Zhiwen was slightly startled, and he stretched out his hand to grab Bai Feiyan's wrist. Bai Feiyan was also shocked, but Bai Feiyan did not dare to resist, and let Zhang Zhiwen hold her wrist. Zhang Zhiwen immediately felt the spiritual energy in Bai Feiyan's body.
This woman actually began to show wisdom, no, it should be spiritual roots, and this spiritual root was so excellent that Zhang Zhiwen was a little unbelievable. He raised his hand and patted Bai Feiyan's shoulder, and patted her whole body to let her face Zhang Zhiwen with her back.
Then Zhang Zhiwen said in a low voice: "Sit down!"
Bai Feiyan's body trembled slightly, but she sat down honestly. Then Zhang Zhiwen also sat down randomly. He slapped Bai Feiyan on the back: "Activate the Changsheng Sutra!"
"Yes!"
Bai Feiyan's heart was shocked. She guessed right. Zhang Zhiwen was the ancestor of the Marquis. Otherwise, no one knew the Changsheng Sutra. This was the best practice left by the ancestor of the Marquis. It was also the practice that the ancestor of the Marquis had always emphasized to his disciples to practice more.
If Zhang Zhiwen was not the ancestor of the Marquis, how could he know that she had activated the Changsheng Sutra now?
After this thought came up, Bai Feiyan no longer had any doubts. Her heart was beating hard, and her face blushed again. The ancestor of the Marquis was behind her, and the breath coming from his body was close at hand. She was almost intoxicated.
"Keep your mind, don't think about it, I will help you open the road to heaven and earth!"
Zhang Zhiwen shouted coldly and warned Bai Feiyan. He didn't expect that this girl's mind was so messy. Fortunately, she was practicing the Changsheng Sutra, otherwise, she would definitely go crazy in such a short time. Therefore, he warned her.
Bai Feiyan quickly came back to her senses and quickly guarded her mind. However, no matter how hard she guarded her mind, it was difficult for her to maintain her state. Zhang Zhiwen was also a little helpless. He subconsciously planned to open Bai Feiyan's Tao roots and let her improve quickly.
Because this is a natural reaction that any cultivator will have after seeing a disciple with such outstanding spiritual roots, but now it seems that Bai Feiyan is not good enough, so Zhang Zhiwen plans to give up. Bai Feiyan is too thoughtful as a mortal. She thinks about men and women day and night. She is not capable of great responsibility and is not useful. How can Zhang Zhiwen waste his energy in vain?
Therefore, he let go of his hand and let Bai Feiyan fend for herself. If she could take this opportunity to cultivate, it would be a great opportunity. It's a pity that Bai Feiyan didn't seize such a good opportunity...
"Wait..."
Zhang Zhiwen suddenly wondered, because although Bai Feiyan's mind was confused, her cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds. The spiritual energy around her swirled rapidly and poured into her Dantian, and then she built her foundation in almost the blink of an eye!
Bai Feiyan didn't feel much, as if all this was a natural thing. She even felt that her whole body was extremely comfortable, and she felt that her spirit was unprecedentedly strong. She could even "see" Zhang Zhiwen's stunned expression behind her.
She has reached the level of an extremely powerful Yuanshen. Yuanshen can observe the surrounding situation in the Qi Refining Stage, which is more accurate than spiritual consciousness. Although it has not reached the level of divine consciousness, it is also rising rapidly.
Zhang Zhiwen had never expected that Bai Feiyan would break through to the foundation-building stage at such an astonishing speed, and Bai Feiyan's cultivation was still advancing by leaps and bounds, and she was about to move towards the golden elixir. Then she finally stopped slowly, and her cultivation finally remained at the position of the great perfection of the foundation-building stage.
At this moment, Bai Feiyan's delicate body became brighter and more attractive, with a hazy white halo all over her body, almost no different from a fairy who had attained the Tao.
Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but raise his hand to test it, and Bai Feiyan's body actually sent a suction force, and then directly sucked his palm over, and then a majestic breath instantly rushed into Zhang Zhiwen's sea of consciousness!
