After Zhang Yan said goodbye to Elder Peng, he had only cultivated for a month when a servant came to report that there was movement on the spiritual wall. It seemed like there was news from Green Jade Palace.
He dismissed the servant and left the room. He came to the front of the spiritual wall and shot out a spiritual light. Instantly, the light on the wall shook and the deacon Taoist's body appeared. He bowed respectfully towards him and said, "Zhang Shangzhen, on the first of the next month, the elder invites you to the Cloud Continent for a chat."
Zhang Yan had a thought, this was to discuss the matter of the battle. On the first of the next month, there was still half a month. He nodded and said, "Please go back and tell Elder Peng that I will be there."
The deacon Taoist bowed once more. The light on the wall retracted and there was no more movement.
Zhang Yan returned to the hall and called Qu Zhao over, saying, "Go tell Zhenren He to send out a clone. Ten days later, we will head to the next world."
Qu Zhao followed the order and left.
Zhang Yan thought about it. After this Cloud Continent, maybe they would make a move soon. There were some things that needed to be arranged. Thus, he called the people below over and took care of them one by one. After giving the orders, he sat down and meditated.
Ten days passed quickly.
He still didn't move but a clear energy floated out from his body, instantly forming into a clone. He walked out of the cave and stepped out of the hall. His eyes turned and he saw that He Xianyin was already waiting there. He nodded his head towards him and said, "Zhenren He, follow me."
After he said this, he left first. Not long later, the two of them came outside of the Imperial Edict Golden Hall.
When they came here, he didn't stop, directly heading towards the Ten Thousand Empty World Ring. He Xianyin also followed. When they passed through it, the two of them appeared on the Green Jade Palace Cloud Continent.
The deacon Taoist had been waiting there. When he saw the two of them arrive, he bowed and said, "Zhang Shangzhen greets you, Zhenren He greets you. Please follow me." He took out a spell and a formation door appeared in front of them.
Zhang Yan took a step forward. His vision swayed slightly, and he found himself inside a floating palace.
This place displayed the shape of a circle, one could sense its existence, but it was boundless, difficult to know its circumference. Outside the circle was a boundless void, more than ten magical altars floating like stars, sometimes far, sometimes near, revolving around the central courtyard.
His gaze swept across the area. The four Heavenly Lords of Jianzhi, Jiying, Huan Du, and Yi Xu had already arrived and were currently talking. The four of them sensed something and turned around to see He Xianyin and He Xianyin. They looked at each other and took the initiative to greet him.
After the greetings, the Heavenly Lord of Inspection Heaven glanced at He Xianyin and said with a smile, "I heard from Elder Peng that with your permission, Xuan Hong Heaven has already set up the Golden Hall of Edicts?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I have always thought that although the method of good deeds is heartless, it is also selfless. As long as one acts righteously, it will benefit all living beings and open a convenient door for cultivators."
The Heavenly Lord of Yi Xu Heaven said from the side, "The universe is one, but where there is gain, there is loss. In one place, it is a good deed, but in another place, it is a bad deed."
He Xianyin then said, "Treat my good as good, treat my evil as evil, what do you think, Daoist friend?"
The Heavenly Lord of Yi Xu Heaven frowned and was about to speak again when two auras came from outside. Everyone turned around and saw the Heavenly Lord of Ye Haitian, Ao Shao, and a female Taoist walking in. With a quick thought, they knew that this was Mei Ruoqing, the Heavenly Lord of Fixed Star Heaven who had recently joined them.
After the two of them arrived, they came up to greet everyone.
When Mei Ruoqing and Zhang Yan greeted each other, their gazes were slightly focused. There was both scrutiny and fear in their eyes. This was because among the people standing here, Zhang Yan was the only one who did not have the cultivation of Enlightenment Realm. However, he had the battle record of killing cultivators of Enlightenment Realm head-on. Moreover, his aura was deep and unfathomable, and she could not see the bottom of it at all.
At this moment, a bell in the hall rang, and a formation door opened on the platform. Elder Peng appeared. His expression was solemn, and he cupped his hands at everyone. He said, "Greetings, Daoist friends. Since you are all here, please take a seat."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding altar that was floating in the air lit up with dazzling splendor, and it fell on everyone.
Zhang Yan only felt a slight pulling force on his body. Knowing that it was not a hindrance, he allowed it to guide him. In the next moment, he was already standing in the altar. In this place, he seemed to be far away from everyone, but also close at hand. He immediately knew that he had arrived in a half-world. He nodded slightly. It seemed that Elder Peng was very cautious. This place was similar to the Void Primordial Sea. If he spoke here, he would not have to worry about anyone spying on him, and he would not be predicted by the heavenly secrets.
At this moment, Elder Peng had also moved to an altar.
He looked around. Apart from Ye Haitian's Heavenly Lord Ao Shao, who had reached the fourth tribulation realm, only Jianzhi Heaven's Heavenly Lord Ye Hongtu had reached the third tribulation realm. The rest were mostly in the first and second tribulation barriers.
As for the other side, according to what he knew, Jueyuan Heaven's Yang Yougong was in the fourth tribulation realm. He was also one of the few great cultivators in the 19 Heavens. Apart from Zhu Zhutian's Heavenly Lord Ju Yu, whose strength was unknown, the other two were in the second tribulation realm. On the surface, they seemed to be evenly matched.
Previously, he thought that Yang Yougong and the rest would have many backup plans, and there might even be Heavenly Lords who had not shown themselves yet standing on their side. Therefore, he was very cautious. However, after the official confrontation, he realized that the situation was not as dangerous as he imagined. After all, the Green Jade Palace's reputation was still there. Many Heavenly Lords were still very cautious and did not dare to get involved easily.
This time, he had successfully taken down Zhu Changtian. Although he had lost Wujue Heaven, Jianzhi Heaven, Jiying Heaven, Huandu Heaven, and Yixu Heaven had also seen his capabilities. They were no longer evasive like before, and were truly willing to put in their efforts. After noticing the changes in this place, he did not delay any longer and decisively decided to push for this battle.
He said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about idle talk. Today, I have invited all of you here to eliminate Yang Yougong and the rest. This battle is not to be underestimated. We need to establish a contract here. "
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and rays of golden light flew to where everyone was. They did not even land on He Xianyin.
Zhang Yan watched as the golden light flew to him. When it neared him, it turned into a contract. He took it over and looked at it. Lines of words appeared on the contract. It stated what must be done in this battle and the benefits that could be obtained after the battle.
Obviously, the contract in everyone's hands was different. On his contract, it promised that after this battle, Xuan Hongtian would be under his name. No one could covet it. In the future, the prohibition would be broken. If anyone intruded without reason, not only could he kill the intruder, he could also invite the alliance to help him in battle. Those who were invited were not allowed to refuse without reason.
He thought about it and believed that Green Jade Palace had made a similar promise to the others. This was equivalent to giving everyone a guarantee in exchange for maintaining the Karma points system.
His guess was right. Everyone, including Ao Shao, was very satisfied with this arrangement, especially since the Green Jade Palace had promised that even if the Realm Lord wanted to pass on the inheritance, it could only be done with the approval of the previous Heavenly Master. No outsider, including the Green Jade Palace, could interfere.
Elder Peng was, after all, the Hall Elder of Green Jade Palace. Once this contract was signed, even if he was overthrown in the future, the successor would have to admit that he could not be overthrown.
In reality, Green Jade Palace did not care who would rule the Lower Worlds. As long as all the realms followed the Karma points system, everything could be discussed.
Zhang Yan continued to read. The following was also related to the benefits after the battle. However, it was not guaranteed that he would be able to obtain it.
It was written on the contract that if he fought with Yang Yougong and the others and obtained any results, Green Jade Palace would not reward him separately. They would only record the results in the form of Karma points. The more enemies he killed, the more Karma points he would obtain.
However, he believed that no one would object to this. This was because as long as he won the battle, he could use Karma points to exchange for anything he wanted. He could even save up Karma points and use them when necessary.
After Zhang Yan finished reading, he saw that there were no problems with it. With a flick of his finger, a stream of Qi flowed into the contract.
At the same time, everyone present also flowed their Qi into the contract.
After the contract was completed, the contract instantly turned into golden light and dissipated. Half of it fell into everyone's Dharmakaya, while the other half flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, apart from Zhang Yan, everyone's expression was no longer as relaxed as it was Just Now. Instead, all of them became serious.
They all understood that even if Green Jade Palace was defeated, only Elder Peng's faction would be toppled. Their foundation would not be affected because the True Yang Almighty Expert was rumored to have only left and not died. Therefore, no one would dare to completely destroy Green Jade Palace in the Remaining Heavens. It was just that their influence would be temporarily reduced to the lowest level. However, it was different for them. Once they were defeated, they would really be destroyed.
Because of this, at this time, no one thought about holding back like before. Instead, they were thinking about how to defeat the thugs.
Ao Shao raised his head and said, "Elder Peng, what is Green Jade Palace's plan for this battle?"
Elder Peng said in a deep voice, "I've discussed it with the Elders of Green Jade Palace for a while, and I've written it down in a jade slip. Please take a look at it." He flicked his sleeve, and the jade slips on the table in front of him floated up and flew towards everyone.
Zhang Yan's gaze fell on the jade slip in front of him. The jade slip that flew towards him stopped on its own. He scanned it with his consciousness and read through its contents.
There were many strategies here, and they were all feasible strategies deduced by Green Jade Palace's experts. However, there were only two ways to go about it.
One was to attack one of the realms with all their might, forcing the other realms to come to their rescue. Then, they would decide the outcome of the battle. The advantage of this method was that they could gather all their strength like clenching a fist, and the damage would be minimized. Moreover, they would be able to seize the initiative to attack first. However, such a large movement would definitely attract the enemy's attention, and it would be almost impossible for them to launch a surprise attack.
The other strategy was to attack separately. A small number of people would hold back Zhu Zhu, Huo An, and Yu An Heavenly Masters, while the rest of the people would attack Yang Yougong. If they could kill him, it would be much easier to deal with the others. In fact, it would be equivalent to determining the outcome of the battle in advance.
However, doing so would inevitably result in injuries, especially after everyone had split up. It would be difficult for them to contact each other again, and it would be difficult for them to know the changes in the battle situation. Moreover, there were too many variables, so it could only be considered a strange strategy.
Elder Peng waited for a long time. When he saw that everyone had withdrawn their consciousnesses, he asked, "What do you think we should do this time?"
