Zhang Yu said, "I require the records concerning Zhu Ci."
Daoist Ming Zhou pointed, and a jade tablet borne upon thin mist floated into view. He said, "Guardian Zhang, Zhu Ci's records are here."
Zhang Yu did not take it immediately, but asked, "Whose records may a Guardian examine?"
Daoist Ming Zhou respectfully replied, "A Guardian may examine the records of all Profound Venerables, apart from the Executive Overseers and Court Overseers."
Zhang Yu said, "What of the wardens of the various lodges and continents?"
Daoist Ming Zhou lowered his head and said, "They may be viewed, but a report must first be made to the Profound Court, with the reason stated."
Zhang Yu immediately understood. He reached out and drew the jade tablet before him. The object instantly dispersed in his palm, turning into a brilliant cloud of light and mist. As he fixed his gaze upon it, sound and light entered his consciousness in an instant.
As he examined it, he found records of Zhu Ci's origins, his years of cultivation, the methods he was generally skilled in, and all his past battle achievements. However, most of these were from before he attained the Dao. There were few records from afterward, and most of those had been described by Zhu Ci himself.
Though it also listed the divine abilities, Daoist arts, and even innate mysteries this man possessed, they were merely broad descriptions. No Profound Venerable would truly record every secret concerning himself, nor would any cultivator be willing to do so.
He could be certain that this man had some hidden trump cards. Believing everything recorded here would instead make it easy to fall into a trap.
Still, this was enough.
When had he ever possessed such detailed knowledge of an opponent in his past battles? Before
