Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"I am here on behalf of Ziyao Tiangong to give something to fellow Taoist disciples."

As Patriarch Heze said, he took out a three-color jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yao.

"oh?"

Zhang Yao glanced at him and did not pick it up immediately, but asked:

"What is this?"

Ancestor He Ze didn’t seem to take notice of Zhang Yao’s slightly wary behavior and said:

"Fellow Taoist already knows that apart from the peripheral members, there are also core members within Tiangong."

"But there is actually a type of member who is in between. Although they are valued enough by the top management of Tiangong, they are not cultivated within Tiangong. Although their trust level is slightly lower, they are still the backbone of Tiangong."

"For members of this category, Tiangong senior officials will issue 'Tiangong Jade Talisman' as a token of identity."

When he said this, he shook the three-color jade talisman in his hand:

"This is your Tiangong jade talisman."

"After possessing this jade talisman, your status will be comparable to that of core members. The deeper channels within the Heavenly Palace will also be opened to you. All the conveniences you once enjoyed will have a qualitative leap."

"In addition, this Tiangong Jade Talisman itself is also a treasure that can be used for ultra-long-distance communication."

"Ultra-long distance communication?"

Zhang Yao became interested at this time and asked:

"What's the effective distance?"

"Including the Nine Prefectures of Tianzhou, the Fifty-Four Heartland Countries and the Eight Frontiers, the entire Central Plains territory can be effective."

Ancestor Heze answered in a calm tone, but the content made Zhang Yao's expression change slightly.

"so smart……"

Zhang Yao's mind was full of thoughts.

The higher his cultivation level, the more he understands how powerful a treasure that can transmit ultra-long distance messages across the entire Middle Earth is.

Not to mention that he didn't know the principle behind it at all. Even if he knew the principle, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

"This Tiangong Jade Talisman is by invitation only and will only be given to those who are qualified enough."

Ancestor Heze smiled slightly:

"Of course, you can also refuse."

"But as far as I know, there seems to be no precedent for refusal in these thousands of years."

Zhang Yao laughed and reached out to take the three-color jade talisman:

"With the benefits that are delivered to your door, is there any reason to turn them away?"

He played with the jade talisman in his hand, channeling his spiritual thoughts and mana into it, and soon figured out the mystery.

He discovered that this Tiangong jade talisman seemed to be connected to a central place with unpredictable power. It could send messages to the outside through this central place and some imperceptible channels.

"With the help of the Tiangong Jade Talisman, we can not only send messages to the Tiangong Headquarters in Tianzhou, but also use this channel to contact other jade talisman holders."

"Of course, this premise is that you know the jade talisman holder, have the corresponding jade talisman brand, and the other party is willing to accept your message."

Ancestor Heze was still smiling and said:

"Looking at the entire Central Plains, there are actually not many people who can be valued by the senior officials of Tiangong."

"Either you are a powerful man who is at the limit of the Golden Core, or even an invincible Golden Core, or you are a core high-level person in a big sect or a big force, so you can get this treatment."

"I see……"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, as if he was suddenly surprised.

The appearance of this Tiangong jade talisman solved a doubt in his mind.

When the Seven Sects Alliance was destroyed in the first battle, the remaining Golden Core cultivators of the Seven Sects Alliance chose to wait for help, clinging to the alliance headquarters and taking shelter under the formation.

At that time, he was very curious about the channels through which the remaining forces of the seven sect alliances communicated with the outside world. After all, normal communication methods had distance limitations, and there was obviously no one in the entire southwest who could save them.

"Now it seems that Murong Xiao, the 'Chen Xing Heavenly King', also has a Tiangong jade talisman in his hand, but he just left it in the mountain gate."

"But he is also a member of Zi Yao Tiangong? It's a bit different..."

Another doubt arose in Zhang Yao's heart.

Zi Yao Tian Palace is most famous for its various levels of spiritual gold materials, which is of great convenience to him, but not necessarily to others.

According to Ancestor Ming Yuan, even if Murong Xiao wants to join, he should join Qingchen Heavenly Palace, which is the place with the most various spiritual treasures.

"Huh? Qingchen..."

Zhang Yao suddenly thought of something and looked down at the jade talisman in his hand.

The jade talisman he was playing with was made of an unknown material that was neither gold nor jade, and appeared in three colors: white, green, and purple.

"Could it be..."

He looked up at Ancestor Heze with an inexplicable expression:

"Fellow Daoist Heze, this Tiangong jade talisman probably represents more than just the Ziyao Tiangong family, right?"

"hehe……"

Patriarch He Ze stroked his beard and smiled:

"Fellow Taoist really saw it."

"Yes, this Heavenly Palace Jade Talisman is universal within the three major Heavenly Palaces."

Zhang Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this.

This answer was a bit beyond his expectation. It seemed that the connection between the three heavenly palaces was much deeper than he knew.

Ancestor Mingyuan once said that the three heavenly palaces have many similarities and their internal structures are quite different. But now it seems that the three heavenly palaces probably just wear the same pair of pants!

"Fellow Taoist Heze..."

Zhang Yao considered his tone and asked tentatively:

"The senior executives behind the three heavenly palaces... aren't they all from the same family?"

"Yes and no."

Patriarch Heze's smile faded and he asked:

"Fellow Taoist, who do you think is behind the three heavenly palaces?"

Zhang Yao thought for a while, and an answer popped out of his mind:

"...Nine Heavens Alliance?"

There are not one but three behemoths spanning the Central Plains. The power behind them is terrifying.

Apart from the Nine Heavens Alliance, which ruled the Central Plains and threatened the four wastelands, Zhang Yao really couldn't think of any other force with such a foundation.

"right."

Ancestor He Ze nodded crisply and said:

"Behind the three heavenly palaces is the Nine Heavens Alliance, which is almost an open secret in Tianzhou."

"But in the final analysis, the Nine Heavens Alliance is an alliance, and there are various factions and interest disputes within it. It is not completely monolithic."

"The birth and development of the three heavenly palaces are also the result of this internal game."

"As far as I know, there was only one Qingchen Heavenly Palace three thousand years ago. Its scope of activities was limited to Tianzhou and it was still hidden in the dark. It specialized in doing shady things for some high-level officials in the Nine Heavens Alliance."

"It wasn't until Qingchen Heavenly Palace became stronger and stronger that it gradually turned from the dark side to the bright side, and two more Heavenly Palaces, Ziyao and Baiyu, appeared..."

Zhang Yao couldn't help but nodded slightly after listening to his words.

The history of the three heavenly palaces basically corresponds to the memory of Liu Cang, the Sanshi of the Five Elements.

The three heavenly palaces of Qingchen, Ziyao and Baiyu have developed into a semi-public platform, and most of the golden elixir monks in the Central Plains have names in a certain heavenly palace.

The relationship between the three heavenly palaces can be regarded as both cooperation and competition, and the relationship between the high-level officials is even more complicated.

But normally speaking, as long as they are not core members trained within Tiangong, they will not be easily involved in high-level struggles.

"Fellow Taoist Qingxu."

Ancestor Heze suddenly said:

"You just bought the Tiangong Jade Talisman and haven't tried using it yet. I'm afraid you don't know many of the tricks yet."

As he spoke, he took out a three-color jade talisman that was exactly the same as Zhang Yao's hand from his sleeve, and gestured:

"I happen to be here today, how about we communicate?"

When Zhang Yao heard this, he immediately understood what he meant.

"Okay, then I'll ask fellow Taoist to give you more guidance."

Zhang Yao said politely and exchanged the jade talisman brand with Patriarch He Ze on the spot.

"Fellow?"

Zhang Yao's spiritual thought sent out a message, but this time it was with the help of the Tianmen Jade Talisman.

They were obviously close at hand, no more than a foot away from each other, but no matter how hard Zhang Yao's spiritual thoughts fired at them, they couldn't catch the slightest trace. He could only lament that Tiangong's methods were too clever.

"Buzz!"

Ancestor He Ze did not respond immediately, but sent a special message - it was another jade talisman brand.

Zhang Yao thought to himself, 'Sure enough,' and he accepted another jade talisman brand without thinking, channeling his spiritual power into it and opening up another communication channel.

And the communication channel responded almost immediately:

"Fellow Taoist Qingxu and fellow Taoist Heze."

The old voice came down the dark passage, and only Zhang Yao and Patriarch He Ze could detect it:

"The poor monk is polite."
