"Of course, we have to thank His Majesty for his kindness."
Perfected Hui Fang and Meng Shen said at the same time.
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly. "These two people will complete the task that His Majesty has ordered with you."
He waved his hand, and two people, one tall and one short, appeared.
A young man who looked to be in his twenties and a young girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Miss Chen and … Manager Chen?"
Perfected Hui Fang and Meng Shen's eyes flashed at the same time.
They knew the two young people in front of them.
The young man was Chen Yu, a disciple of the Dahe Longmen.
His other identity was the manager of the Hall of Heavenly Works in Chang 'an.
Although he was a manager, he was in charge of all the matters of the Hall of Heavenly Works.
Mr. Dark Cloud was in charge of the Hall of Heavenly Works in name, but most of the time, he was only in name or in charge of the general direction.
But most of the time, the young disciple of the Dahe Longmen was in charge.
In terms of status, this young man might not be lower than Li Jie, the Sect Leader of his own sect, who was the Deputy Chief of the Tang Empire.
Of course, this young man did not disappoint.
While the matters of the Hall of Heavenly Works were being taken care of, there was a rumor that he had received personal guidance from His Majesty to create a cultivation path that was on par with Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, magic, and martial arts.
When the news spread, everyone was in disbelief.
After all, the human race had five cultivation methods. Including the demon race, there were a total of six methods that had been passed down for many years.
Throughout the ages, talents had come forth in large numbers.
Throughout history, there had been others who had tried to create a new path of cultivation by relying on their own talents.
But in the end, they could not continue and ended in failure.
So when the news about Chen Yu first spread, everyone looked on disapprovingly.
But as time passed and more and more people joined the school of Mohism, everyone could no longer ignore it.
Now, everyone was watching to see if this path called "Mohism" could really be taken and if there would be an endless stream of successors.
So when facing Chen Yu, a young man with limited cultivation, even Perfected Hui Fang and Meng Shen, who were Daoist Ninth Realm experts, did not dare to slight him.
As for the other person beside him, there was no need to talk about him.
There were only a few imperial attendants in the Daming Palace. How could Immortal Hui Fang and Meng Shen not recognize Chen Chaoyan, who was born in the Chen family of the Tang Dynasty?
As His Majesty's people, no matter how seriously they treated him, it would not be too much.
Moreover, as seniors in the ninth realm of Taoism, the two of them had a deeper understanding of Chen Chaoyan's talents and talents than others.
To be honest, in less than two years, a person who had just entered the sect, reached the Nascent Soul stage, and broke through to the seventh realm. This speed had never happened before in the history of the Eastern Border's Daoist sects.
Of course, it was said that His Majesty had personally guided her in learning the Dao.
Being in Chang 'an, the external environment was quite good.
However, Reverend Hui Fang and Meng Shen asked themselves, if they were given the same conditions, it would be difficult for them to reach Chen Chaoyan's current cultivation speed.
With such rapid progress, it was no wonder that he was qualified to be His Majesty's attendant in the Daming Palace.
"Reverend Hui Fang, Reverend Meng."
Chen Chaoyan and Chen Yu also greeted Meng Shen and Reverend Hui Fang.
"Chaoyan and Meng Shen will set up the array," Mr. Dark Cloud ordered, "Chen Yu and Hui Fang will go to the South Sea together."
The four of them answered in unison, "Yes."
Meng Shen and Chen Chaoyan left the inner city of Chang 'an together.
However, their first destination was Qinzhou Prefecture in Longbei County of the Tang Empire.
For Chang 'an, which was the most important place, this place could be considered the heart of the city.
No one dared to behave atrociously here.
If someone dared to do so, Meng Shen knew that he would not be able to stop the other party with just one array he had set up.
However, since His Majesty and Mr. Dark Cloud had instructed him to do so, Meng Shen did as he was told.
This was because he could already sense that after the more than six thousand arrays were set up, the overall power would be more integrated, forming a huge array that almost covered the entire Eastern Border.
At that time, the power of the array would be extraordinary.
After Meng Shen took on this "difficult task," he was not worried. Instead, he was happy.
On the one hand, he could benefit from setting up the array.
On the other hand, His Majesty's actions showed that he wanted to give more space and freedom to the people of the Eastern Border.
This was naturally good news for Meng Shen and the others.
Of course, Perfected Meng did not know that a certain City Lord had set up the array to set up his own stronghold outside the range of Invincible City.
Outside the range of Invincible City, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
However, he could deduce a suitable array or technique in Invincible City and then let his subordinates set it up.
This way, even if they were outside the range of Invincible City, they would be firmly planted one by one, and they could still be faithfully used.
Meng Shen did not think too much and focused on setting up the array.
He straightened his index and middle fingers like a sword. With a sword gesture, his flying sword left its scabbard.
The sword light continued to outline in the air, condensing and not dissipating.
Soon, an extremely large array pattern covered the entire area.
As Meng Shen guided the sword gesture, he waved his sleeve with his other hand.
Large amounts of Breath Iron, Jade Turquoise Crystals, and other natural treasures were thrown into the array pattern.
The array pattern began to operate like a millstone, continuously refining the treasures.
With these treasures as a guide, it gradually gathered the evil energy of heaven and earth, turning it into a terrifying sword and pouring it continuously into the array pattern.
Chen Chaoyan watched in a daze from the side for a while. Suddenly, she said, "Perfected Meng, may I show you my incompetence and give you a few pointers?"
"Of course." Meng Shen's expression did not change.
How could a Seventh Realm cultivator participate in setting up an array that only a Ninth Realm Perfected Person could control?
Meng Shen was not questioning Zhang Dongyun's arrangement.
The City Lord of Chang 'an and Mr. Dark Cloud had proven time and time again that they were beyond the imagination of many people, and yet they seemed to be omnipotent.
There must be a deeper meaning in arranging this Seventh Realm girl to set up the array with him.
However, Meng Shen could not figure it out at the moment, so he quietly watched from the side.
He saw Chen Chaoyan close her eyes, and the top of her head shone brightly. She actually let her Nascent Soul out of her body.
Meng Shen was even more confused.
He carefully controlled the unstable array pattern to prevent any accidents from happening and hurting Chen Chaoyan's Nascent Soul.
Then, he saw Chen Chaoyan's chubby Nascent Soul, which looked like a five or six-year-old girl, soar into the air and came to the bottom of the array pattern.
She raised her hand and stretched out her fingers. Then, she kept drawing in the air.
Meng Shen then realized that his array pattern seemed to be being modified by someone.
He originally wanted to see Chen Chaoyan's abilities, so he did not mind her modifying his array pattern. However, he was worried that the unstable array pattern would go out of control and hurt Chen Chaoyan.
However, after a moment of careful observation, Meng Shen was relieved.
He realized that not only did his array pattern not go out of control, but it was also rapidly stabilizing.
It was getting more and more perfect.
It was about to be completed soon.
This caused Meng Shen to be shocked once more.
How could this little girl be so familiar with the sword array?
In fact, Chen Chaoyan also felt a little strange at the moment.
She had not come into contact with this sword array before, but now everything seemed to be familiar to her.
Zhang Dongyun, or Mr. Dark Cloud, did not tell them that this sword array was actually adapted from the Pure Yang Palace's Four Nine Layered Yang Sword Array.
Under the effect of Chen Chaoyan's Pure Yang Immortal Soul, she was able to do it with ease and felt a sense of deja vu.
Her own cultivation was not enough, but when she assisted Meng Shen in setting up the array, the speed suddenly increased by a lot.
When the huge array pattern, which contained heavy sword qi, fell on the ground and then merged with the earth and disappeared, Meng Shen exhaled a long breath.
This was much easier than he had expected, but there was not the slightest bit of skimping.
Sure enough, this young girl had a unique way of traveling in the Great Ming Palace.
His Majesty's arrangement with Mr. Dark Cloud was not without purpose.
"Miss Chen, let's go to the next place," Meng Shen said politely.
If this continued, he would not have to worry about completing more than six thousand arrays, even if there were more.
"… Oh, okay!"
The girl's Nascent Soul returned to her body and patted her head, her eyes full of doubt.
However, she quickly suppressed this doubt and then went to the next destination with Meng Shen.
While they were walking in the Eastern Border, Chen Yu also went south with Daoist Master Hui Fang to the South Sea.
On the road, Daoist Master Hui Fang could not help but ask, "Manager Chen left the Hall of Heavenly Works. Isn't the Hall of Heavenly Works now missing a leader?"
"Daoist Master, just call me Chen Yu." The young man replied, "Now there is someone in charge of the Hall of Heavenly Works. They are not inferior to the younger generation, so Daoist Master can rest assured."
Daoist Master Hui Fang thought, "I heard that the Hall of Heavenly Works has an additional Daoist disciple named Ma Kun?"
Ma Kun's master was also in the old place, so Daoist Master Hui Fang had heard of him.
Chen Yu smiled and nodded, "It is Daoist Master Ma."
He was more or less modest.
Ma Kun was indeed far better than all living beings on the path of Mohist cultivation. He was a one in a billion genius.
However, compared to Chen Yu, he was still slightly inferior at the moment.
However, with him presiding over the Hall of Heavenly Works, there was no need to worry about Chen Yu leaving.
"The ship is the most important thing right now. Since His Majesty and Mr Dark Cloud have ordered, I naturally came to assist Daoist Master," Chen Yu said.
"You flatter me. Let's work together," Daoist Master Hui Fang said.
The two arrived at the South Sea together. After Daoist Master Hui Fang conveyed the order, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he handed it over to Chen Yu.
Thus, Chen Yu communicated with Daoist Master Hui Fang while improving the ship that had already been built.
Under his work, the ship gradually met Daoist Master Hui Fang's requirements.
After the old Daoist Master inspected it, he nodded in satisfaction.
His expression became solemn, and his hands formed a seal.
Then, numerous tree branches and vines appeared out of thin air, clinging to the ship and surrounding it.
Soon, the surface of the huge ship was almost completely covered by tree trunks, leaves, and vines.
It was as if a towering ancient tree was directly twisted and transformed into a ship by a strange force.
Daoist Master Hui Fang ordered everyone to take the ship out to sea.
On the sea, Daoist Master Hui Fang began to carefully modify the ship according to Mr Dark Cloud's guidance.
