After Zhang Yan ordered Danguang to leave, he looked towards the direction of the Celestial Heavens. The fight between the few Taishang wasn't a direct clash, but it was limited to the fight for the position of the orthodox sect.
What was the position of orthodox sect? It was the Dao vein that was respected by the Celestial Heavens.
Putting aside the fact that the Celestial Heavens could be on equal footing with the Taishang, the fact that the position of the Venerable could cause the Taishang to fight for it was worth investigating.
He pondered deeply. These few Taishang shouldn't be fighting for the Celestial Heavens itself. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Celestial Heavens was, it would have been long gone. There should be something behind it. It was possible that any of the Taishang could use it to expel the rest of the Spirit Refinement Weili. Or perhaps the Taishang had an agreement among themselves that after one of them held the position for a long time, the rest would have to leave.
There seemed to be a layer of fog shrouding this place. Even he couldn't deduce the real reason, and the past and future were even more blurry. But because of this, it proved that his guess was not wrong.
At this moment, he turned his gaze and saw that a few spiritual birds and auspicious beasts were still lingering there. An idea came to his mind and after some calculation, he called a boy over and said, "I remember that in the candlelight room at the back, there are five Nightless Lanterns sent from Yu Country?"
The boy replied, "Yes, they are given by Heavenly King Yu Guochang to the patriarch."
Zhang Yan said, "I see that those birds and beasts have nothing to do. Pass down my order, order them to guard the candle room."
The boy acknowledged and went to make the arrangements.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves, got up the carriage, and returned to the Dao Palace. When the Daoists below saw the patriarch leaving, they all stood up and bowed to send him off.
Danguang left the Li Wang Celestial Mountain and went straight to the Imperial Yuan Hall of the Celestial Heavens. However, when he arrived at the boundary, he frowned. He saw a divine general in golden armor and holding a whip standing under the watchtower. His eyes were bright, and he actually gave off an awe-inspiring aura.
He did not expect that Dazzling Xi Star Lord would be on duty today. Her pair of wise eyes could see through the heavens above and search the abyss below. Ordinary concealment techniques were useless in front of her.
After pondering for a moment, he took out a green leaf from his bosom and muttered, "Let's hope this thing is useful." With a toss, the leaf floated above his head. Then, he stepped into the forbidden palace.
The strange thing was that he did not use any techniques to hide himself, but the hundred-odd Immortal Generals, including Star Lord Dazzling Xi, ignored his arrival. Their gazes did not even linger on him for a moment.
He didn't waste any more time and went straight to the front of the Palace. Raising his head, he saw a horizontal board hanging in front of the palace's forbidden entrance. On it, there were two words written by the Celestial Emperor, 'Juan Long'. At this moment, it was glowing brightly, cleansing the filthy evil.
He knew that if he were to get any closer, he would most likely be exposed. However, there was no need for him to get any closer. He tossed the golden mirror down, and in a flash of spiritual light, he entered the palace.
After doing this, he didn't stay for a moment. He immediately left and returned to Mount Li Wang.
However, halfway there, he heard chirping sounds. He looked down and saw a large group of people with bird faces and human bodies heading east. He didn't want to be meddlesome, but when he heard these people talking about 'Xi Xia Fairy', he couldn't help but think about what happened before. So, he stopped one of them and asked, "Just Now, I heard that you were talking about Xi Xia Fairy. Seeing that you are in a hurry, where are you going?"
The bird-headed man said, "Immortal, we are all from the Cicada Mountain Tribe under Fairy Xi Xia. We heard that Fairy Xi Xia's younger brother, Biyou Celestial Official, has offended a great deity and is currently being imprisoned in a lake. Fairy Xi Xia has summoned us from the seven tribes to save him."
After Danguang heard it, he was deep in thought. However, after thinking about it again, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This time, he came and went without a trace. Now that he stopped to ask questions, he exposed his tracks and fell into the hands of people with ill intentions. In the future, he might be implicated. However, Just Now, his soul was covered in dust and he didn't think about this. It was very likely that he had fallen into someone's trap.
He felt that something was wrong, so he hurried back to Mount Li Wang. After reporting to the outside, he entered the main hall and came before Zhang Yan. He bowed and said, "Ancestral Master, the golden mirror has been placed in Zhuan Long Palace. However, on the way back, I accidentally exposed my tracks. Please punish me, Ancestral Master."
Zhang Yan smiled, "It's fine. It's not your fault that you exposed your tracks. However, this is already within my expectations. I will deal with it in the future." As he spoke, he looked outside, "There is a guest. Danguang, you can leave first."
Danguang bowed and left the main hall respectfully.
Zhang Yan stood up. Not long after, a Daoist in his thirties with a long beard walked in slowly. The person bowed to him and said, "Daoist friend, you are too polite."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "Daoist friend, you came from afar. Why don't you take a seat and talk?"
The Daoist thanked him and sat down on the guest's seat. He said, "I didn't do things in secret. Fortunately, Daoist friend helped to remedy the situation."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "As long as Daoist friend doesn't blame me for meddling."
The main purpose of his action this time was to convey his attitude to the two Grand Elders who served in the side hall. It was obvious that they understood his goodwill and came to visit. This was in line with his plan.
However, under normal circumstances, the two of them wouldn't reject this.
It was because compared to the Dao of Virtue, they weren't in a proper position, belonging to the side that was being suppressed. Meanwhile, being suppressed in itself meant that they were comparatively weaker. Now that there was someone of the same generation that was willing to join, they wouldn't reject him no matter what.
The Daoist said, "I wouldn't dare." As he said that, he looked over and said, "What Daoist friend is looking for?"
Zhang Yan knew that the Daoist was asking him if he wanted to give them some face or if he wanted to join hands with them to fight against the enemy. He smiled and said, "Dao of Virtue is not what I want."
Once this was said, the Daoist also understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "Today, the Heavenly Court regards the Dao of Virtue as the main position. Our positions are only in the side hall. We are not respected. This is not what I want. Today, we should pursue the Dao of Virtue and promote our Dao."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "That is how it should be.
The Daoist said again, "Another Daoist friend and I will establish the same Dao line and take the word" Complete ". Does Daoist friend have any suggestions?"
Zhang Yan said, "I will follow the two Daoist friends' suggestions."
Naming seemed like a small matter, but in reality, it involved the problem of who was the master and who was the subordinate.
However, to him, these two were also outsiders. After he pushed down Dao of Virtue, they would also find a way to get rid of them. Therefore, it really didn't matter what name they were going to be called.
The Daoist saw that he didn't object and his expression became more relaxed. It was obvious that he had recognized their alliance. He said, "The heavens change. In order to take care of the heavenly secrets, the Emperor's position will change. Today, the Heavenly Emperor's position is about to change. Daoist friend, which Prince do you think has the appearance of a Divine Master?"
Zhang Yan had long since understood that regardless of whether it was these two or the three Celestial Emperors of Virtue and Dao, they all placed great importance on this Emperor. This was because after today, the next Celestial Emperor would undoubtedly only worship the person who supported him.
He thought for a while and said, "I think that the Eleventh Prince's heart is veiled with the Great Dao and can be the ruler."
The Daoist said, "Daoist friend, don't you know that the Eleventh Prince wanted to worship Dao of Virtue and Dao of Virtue as his master, but he was rejected. Now, in the Celestial Court, everyone thinks that he is frivolous and doesn't have the appearance of a Heavenly Master. Some Star Lords advised to banish him from the Celestial Court. Now, he can't even protect himself, let alone fight for the throne."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "It might not be a bad thing to take a step back."
He could naturally see that the two Daoists of Virtue and Dao of Virtue were supporting another Prince on the surface, but in reality, the Eleventh Prince was the one they really valued. This time, it was just their plan.
Now, the Celestial Court could be considered a pool of muddy water. Instead of getting involved in this battle, it would be better to retreat first. At least, he could protect himself first.
Of course, the three Daoists of Virtue and Dao of Virtue would also make a move in the main hall. They came out today so that they could return in the future. If they couldn't return, then everything would be over.
The Daoist said, "Since Daoist friend thinks so highly of him, then please take care of this Prince."
Zhang Yan thought about it and immediately understood what the Daoist was trying to do. He wanted to see that Zhang Yan had fallen into the trap and was preparing to get out of it. The original dark one might become the bright one, and the bright one might become the dark one. He might face the pressure of the Dao of Virtue alone.
He sneered in his heart. This was a good plan. The two of them didn't want to lose out at all and instead wanted to make use of him.
However, he had already expected this. As for what the outcome would be, it would depend on each person's plan. Thus, he said, "That's good too. With me taking care of this place, the two of you can rest assured."
The Daoist bowed and said, "With Daoist friend's help, I have nothing to worry about."
The two of them chatted for a while more before the Daoist left.
However, although this person had never interacted with him before, from start to finish, he didn't ask about his background.
Actually, there was no need to ask. Because they all knew that they were only formed by a strand of consciousness. If the original didn't notice them, then they wouldn't be able to communicate with the original. It was the same whether they knew or not.
Moreover, their goal was to chase away the rest of the Spirit Refinement Weili. They didn't care about the rest.
Zhang Yan didn't ask him why he wanted to fight for the position of the Spirit Refinement Weili. Because from the Daoist's point of view, it was obvious that he should know about it. This further confirmed his previous judgment.
Although it wasn't clear now, in the end, he would definitely know the result.
It was just that the 11 kings would be exiled very soon. Since the two of them had stopped, then they needed to ensure their safety.
He thought deeply for a while and summoned a few Daoists with swords. After giving them some instructions, he ordered them to go down the mountain to make arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed. Jie Ying had stayed in Mount Li Wang for almost half a year. A few days ago, he received a reply from his mother. His mother said that he would be the one to make the decision. No matter what decision he made, she wouldn't blame him.
After thinking deeply for a few days, he finally made a decision.
He tidied up his clothes and stood up solemnly. He pushed open the door and not long after, he found the place where Wan Guang was cultivating. When he saw Wan Guang, he bowed deeply and said, "Daoist Wan Guang, I have thought it through. How can I not take what Heaven has given me? I am willing to become a disciple of the Daoist Sect."
