When the disciples heard Jin Zhixing's words, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They bowed and said, "We will listen to Zhenren. We will do whatever Zhenren says."
None of these disciples were disciples of the Shangchen Sect. They were all people who were attached to other sects, or were excluded because they lacked talent. They didn't have much loyalty to Shangchen, and cultivating was their only way out. In their hearts, they were abandoned by Shangchen.
Although it was rumored that Tianxia had many rules for cultivators, they had always been the lower class in Shangchen. To put it bluntly, their lives were not guaranteed. But if they joined Tianxia, even if the situation was not good, how bad could it be?
Jin Zhixing said, "Well, since you are all willing, then Jin will follow your wishes." He glanced at the crowd and said, "Come with me."
He left the table and walked out. The disciples looked at each other and followed him out.
This newly opened airspace was still quite desolate. There were almost no ups and downs on the white ground. At a glance, it was connected with the blue-gray sky.
Jin Zhixing walked alone at the front, while the disciples followed far behind him.
After walking for a few miles, he stopped and looked up. The disciples also looked up with him. They saw that there seemed to be an extra star in the sky. As the star gradually enlarged, they could see that it was a beautiful and huge flying boat. The boat's body emitted a soft and bright brilliance. Not only did it illuminate the slightly dim sky, but it also covered them and the surrounding land with a layer of jade-white color.
The flying boat hovered for a moment, and a dazzling light sprinkled down. When it landed, a figure appeared and slowly walked towards them. Then, the crowd saw a young Taoist shrouded in starlight and jade mist. Behind him, a brilliant cloud rushed into the sky as if it was connected to the sky. There was also a faintly discernible and sweet-sounding celestial voice.
Jin Zhixing raised his sleeves and cupped his hands, saying, "Jin Zhixing greets Zhang Shouzheng." After a pause, he said, "Shangchen is tyrannical. Kim is willing to lead a group of disciples to join Tianxia." As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
The disciples behind him also hurriedly bowed. No matter what they thought, since Xuan Zun took the lead to bow, they could naturally bow with a clear conscience.
Zhang Yu said slowly, "Kim Daoist, follow me onto the boat. Tianxia's territory is vast. It can accommodate all of you."
Jin Zhixing couldn't help but feel excited. This time, they could really leave. He bowed again, and said, "Thank you, Shouzheng. I came out in a hurry and missed some things. Please allow me a moment, Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly.
Jin Zhixing turned around and called over a disciple, ordering him to summon all the servants. The disciple was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask for the reason. He still obeyed Jin Zhixing's order and summoned all the servants, gathering them in the open space in front of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Jin Zhixing cast a glance at those trembling servants. With a flick of his sleeve, a cloud of light rose from the ground, bringing him and all the people on the scene up to the planetary ship.
In fact, there were still a few cultivators who were unwilling to leave, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with them. To be honest, after they left, Shangchen might not necessarily take them back. They might even suspect that they were spies in Tianxia. However, they wouldn't waste the effort to get rid of them. It was more likely that they wouldn't interfere and would leave them to fend for themselves.
Zhang Yu looked at the people Jin Zhixing had brought with him. There were about ten thousand of them, and less than ten of them were at the Primordial Spirit Reflection Realm. Of the three hundred cultivators, most were junior disciples.
The rest were all servants. However, Tianxia didn't allow servants, so these people would definitely be separated and resettled when they returned.
Because he didn't know how Shangchen would react, after Jin Zhixing and the others boarded the flying boat, he didn't stay there for long. With a thought, he steered the flying boat into outer space.
On the way back, he invited Jin Zhixing to the main cabin and asked him a few questions.
For the sake of caution, Jin Zhixing had only passed on some important information to the inner circle during critical moments. It was inconvenient for him to talk about other things. Now that he could talk openly, he recounted everything he had seen and heard in Shangchen in detail.
Before him, no one from Tianxia's Xuan Zun had stayed in Shangchen for so long. However, other than visiting Lingdu, he couldn't stay in the main heaven at any other time. Therefore, although he had been trying to investigate, there were too many restrictions, and there were still many things that he couldn't figure out.
He said, "When I was in Shangchen, I often heard about Shouzheng. Under Guyang and the others, there were two outstanding juniors. One of them is still unknown. There was also a female cultivator called Yu Lingbi. She was a rising star. It was said that Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu had personally taught her. It was rumored that she was very likely to be the successor of Shangchen's orthodoxy.
Although I've never seen her before, I've seen her Mystique Venerable Rank and was full of praise for her. Judging from all aspects, this person is very likely to be the successor that Shang Chentian used the divination of heaven to find. "
Zhang Yu was slightly moved. This news was worth paying attention to, because in the old sects, it was very difficult to find a suitable successor, so they would use divination to find a successor.
This method couldn't be used often. In the words of the old sects, such a method would damage the sect's fate, and it had to be made up for in thousands of years. If it couldn't be made up, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. If it wasn't so, there wouldn't be so many sects in the past.
However, such a cultivator was often related to the sect. As long as he existed, he could pass on the Tao. If such a person could reach the upper realm, it wouldn't be long before the sect could rise again.
If Tianxia's goal was only to completely destroy the Shangchen Sect, then this person must be captured.
After Jin Zhixing told the news he had received, he asked, "Dare I ask Shouzheng, after returning, how will Tianxia arrange for me?"
Zhang Yu: "Kim Daoist is willing to take a great risk and work hard for Tianxia for several years. After returning, you will be given a position. Whether you cultivate in the upper realm or go out to serve, it will be up to you. However, if Tianxia is in danger, no matter who you are, you will have to come out and help.
However, I suggest that Fellow Daoist should come out and serve. Only by serving will you be able to obtain Xuan food. This is not something that just anyone can ask for. Only those who have made great contributions in the past can be summoned. Don't miss this opportunity. "
In the outer realm, Xuan Zun submitted to Tianxia. Except for a few people, very few could immediately obtain a position. Jin Zhixing had been lurking for several years and could be considered to have stepped over this threshold. If he wanted to make progress, then he should seize this opportunity.
Jin Zhixing hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Shouzheng for your advice."
Zhang Yu: "Xuanting also remembers Fellow Daoist's contributions in the past few years. After returning, you will naturally have Xuan food to obtain."
Jin Zhixing hurriedly responded. He was excited and secretly said, "I've long heard that Xuan food can nourish one's cultivation and strengthen one's foundation. With this, one can advance a thousand miles in a day. I don't know what it feels like. This time when I return, I will be able to experience it."
In Shangchen, Ying Chong was confirming the location of each Tianxia Xuanzun with the white-clothed boy.
A disciple came to report, "Master, we just received a message. Kim Jin-hon's Heaven Domain has been discovered by Tianxia. They sent a message saying that Xuan Zun immediately led his disciples to surrender to Tianxia."
"Jin Zhixing?"
Ying Chong's face did not show the slightest surprise. He calmly asked, "Who found them?"
The disciple lowered his head and said, "I heard it was him." He did not dare to mention Zhang Yu's name in front of Ying Chong. First, Xuan Zun's name could not be directly called by juniors, even if it was Tianxia Xuanzun. Second, after all, his master's body was once destroyed by this person, so he could only speak vaguely.
"Zhang Yu?"
Ying Chong looked at the white-clothed boy, but the latter shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see him."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it. If Jin Zhixing has left, then let him go. There's no need to care too much about it. Spread the news that Jin Zhixing has been captured by Tianxia."
The disciple nodded. Seeing that Ying Chong didn't have anything else to say, he left first.
Ying Chong thought for a moment. Whether Jin Zhixing was found, surrendered, or was unreliable to begin with, he would not make a big fuss over a Jin Zhixing.
Compared to this, he was more wary of Zhang Yu's arrival at Fang Tianyu this time.
Now, he was relying on the Evil God to monitor Tianxia. Not to mention that all of Tianxia Xuanzun's movements were under his control, but he knew the whereabouts of most of them.
But previously, there was no news about Zhang Yu's movements.
In fact, there were some ways to hide from the Evil God, but there was only one way that he did not want to see the most.
He thought to himself, "If that's the case, this person is troublesome. Now that I have three Heavenly Branches, it's easier to deal with Zhengqing without the protection of these branches."
He was thinking about countermeasures, but he did not ask much about the disciples who were left behind in that heaven.
Originally, he wanted to use these people to see if they could comprehend the Chaotic Chapters and enter the Dao. If they did, it would be a surprise, but if they did not, it would not be a pity. Now that he was about to find Huanyang School, and he might be able to obtain the help of You City's Dao Guarding Treasure, he no longer needed these people.
On the other side, Daoist Zhengqing stood in the main cabin, looking at another heaven outside. Wei Yi said, "Senior Brother, there are many similar places here. If we go there, we might be able to find the main heaven of Shangchen."
Zhengqing said, "It's not that simple. Before we enter the main heaven, no one can be sure." He looked at the heaven in front of him and said, "Since we have bumped into it, we have to go in and explore."
These days, they had explored all the way here. Many of the skies were empty, and they had not gained anything. But as he said, no one would know the situation if they did not go in and explore.
After a while, the flying ship turned into a ray of light and rushed into Fang Tianyu.
Not long after, Hunkong Laozu came to the Rainbow Hall and said, "Friend Ying, Zhengqing and his Junior Brother have entered the Fang Tianyu we set up."
Ying Chong's expression did not change, and he said steadily, "Zhengqing is very difficult to deal with. Don't be hasty in this plan. Slowly lure him into the place we set up. If he knows the opportunity to escape, don't worry. As long as he still wants to find the location of our main heaven, he will definitely jump in."
