Inside the Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu stood in the main hall with his sleeves behind his back, looking at the Void Star Atlas on the wall. He could see that there were many new stars being born there.
Since he returned last time, he had sent a letter to the Imperial Court, suggesting that they build more stars to make it easier for the Planetary Boat to travel through.
Not only could they use it now, but they could also use it to fight against the Huanyang school when they returned.
The Imperial Court accepted his suggestion and used the method of the Ipar to refine nearly a thousand stars in the past few months, and after some slight improvements, they threw them into the Void.
This thing did not require any defensive mechanism. It only needed to be modified by the stars that were already in the Upper Realm.
The refining process only needed a few Xuan Zun to preside over it, and the rest could be done by countless Upper Realm Deities. After all, the Ipar was not made by him personally, and most of the work was entrusted to his enslaved clansmen. If the refining process was too complicated, he would not have proposed it in the letter.
However, the Ipar relied on the Divine Tree, and it took him more than an era to complete the task. Now, Tianxia was using the abundant precious materials from the Upper Realm, and with the support of the Clear Sky Qi, he could continuously refine these stars and send them out.
After familiarizing himself with the process, the refining process became faster and faster. Every day, new stars could be seen falling into the Void. Wherever the Xuan Zun went, Yuandu Xuantu would take the opportunity to send it down.
After several months of preparation, the Xuan Zun, who had recently returned to rest, could now use the Planetary Boat to travel back and forth.
He stared at the twinkling stars. Perhaps these things would be destroyed by the Void Evil Gods, but it did not matter. The Clear Sky Qi could be produced in an instant, and he could have as many as he wanted. They were consumables to begin with, and if they were damaged, he could immediately send another one over. Destroying them would not be as fast as creating new ones.
What's more, there was a limit to the number of high-level evil gods. If this person always kept an eye on these things, it would reduce the pressure on the Xuan Zun, who was searching for Shangchen's main heaven. Xuanting was very willing to do such an exchange.
At this moment, he sensed a reaction from the Xuntian Dao Zhang. He took a look and saw that it was a message sent by Xuanfu of the Eastern Court. He paid attention to it and saw that it was related to the real spirit of knowledge that Liang Yi sent to Kui Su.
After this item was thrown out, it was slandered by many people. Now, it had evolved from the initial debate to a discussion of the law to determine right and wrong.
However, they didn't expect that Yingxiong would challenge those people to a duel. He had already defeated a cultivator, and now, an armored soldier from the Tenki-in Hall had accepted the duel. The duel would be held at the end of the month, which would be the day after tomorrow.
Although Yingxiong seemed to have been in the Tenki-in Hall all these years, this wasn't the case.
There were some things that others couldn't see, but as a Shouzheng, he was very clear about it.
In these five or six years, Yingxiong had almost traveled all over the Four Heavens. He had challenged dozens of people to a duel, and he had won every battle. And the opponents he chose were all Monk Hunjang. The reason why he wasn't famous was because the people who fought with him all chose to go into seclusion afterwards.
This seemed to be a simple duel, but he could see that Yingxiong was relying on duels to find his own path to the upper realm.
The real opponent he faced wasn't the Monk Hunjang, but the Great Primal Chaos behind them.
Almost all the Monk Hunjang had to face the corruption of the Great Primal Chaos, so in a sense, the Great Primal Chaos was the common enemy of all the Monk Hunjang.
In every duel, Yingxiong would try to draw out the flaws of his opponent and kill them. This was "eliminating the flaws of others", and also eliminating the influence of the Great Primal Chaos on his opponent.
Why was it eliminating the flaws of others, and not his own? Because under the corruption of the Great Primal Chaos, he and the entire Monk Hunjang were seen as a whole. Then, the flaws of others were his flaws, and eliminating the flaws of others was also eliminating his own flaws.
This was also why the Monk Hunjang chose to go into seclusion after dueling with him. It was because they realized and understood their own flaws during the duel.
These flaws might be ignored by them, or they might not be able to solve them, but after dueling with Yingxiong, they more or less found a way to solve them. Naturally, they wouldn't let these flaws continue to exist.
This path was destined to be difficult to walk, but if one managed to walk it, it would also be a great path.
Although there were many Monk Hunjang now, most of them were converted from true cultivation. Until now, there hadn't been a single cultivator who had achieved Xuan Zun. Although Zhang Yu had established the Seal of Sincerity, perfecting oneself and cutting off doubts were all things that the cultivator had to complete themselves.
The path Yingxiong chose was a method. This was also in line with his own visualization diagram. Logically speaking, as long as he fought with enough Monk Hunjang and eliminated the flaws of this generation, he wouldn't commit the same mistakes again. At the same time, he would also help his fellow cultivators.
This path was actually also the path of "all self". This meant that if Yingxiong's Dao was successful, then not only would the people who came after him benefit, they would also benefit even more of their fellow cultivators in the process.
As for the battle between him and the armored soldier, he wasn't prepared to watch it anymore. It wasn't that he disdained to watch a battle of this level, but he believed that there was no suspense in this battle.
Although the Tenki-in Hall had achieved many results over the years, and the power of the armor was also much stronger than before, Yingxiong had now won many battles. He had followed his own Dao method and followed his own will. It could be said that his Qi was flourishing and was gradually reaching perfection.
This could be considered as having one foot in the door of the upper realm. The only thing he needed was to continue accumulating, or perhaps an opportunity. It was far from what an armored soldier could compare to.
However, it was not as if there were no weaknesses. If such an attempt were to fail, then all the shortcomings would come crashing back with even more ferocious momentum than before. If one could withstand it and win another battle, then one could still cross over. If not, then one would never have the chance to reach the upper realm.
He put away the Xuntian Dao Zhang and raised his head to look at the depths of the outer layer of the void. There were waves of ripple-like vibrations coming from there.
Without a doubt, in order to bring him back to the Huanyang school as soon as possible, Shanghai was speeding up. However, this also increased the possibility of him being exposed by a lot. However, he remembered that Zhengqing Daoist was previously trapped. He judged that if Shanghai dared to do this, then they must have something to rely on.
In front of the Rainbow Hall, Ying Chong held a glass bottle in his hand. In the bottle floated a handful of seemingly weightless golden sand that was as fine as dust. This thing came from You City's Dao Guarding Treasure, or it could be said that it was transformed from a part of Qi that was taken from this magical item.
He didn't know the name of this treasure because this magical item hadn't been completed yet.
After the Dao Guarding Treasure was completed, it still needed a person with great magical power to continuously cultivate it to reach perfection. This might be the reason why You City was willing to lend this magical item.
After he tried it, he found that if this golden sand was thrown into the void, it could separate people and oneself. It could separate heaven and earth, so that the enemy couldn't get close to him, and he couldn't see the enemy.
He felt that this was indeed in line with You City's idea. It was free and easy, and it excluded external disturbances. It would do its own thing, and if it didn't disturb You City, You City wouldn't disturb You City.
Of course, this could also be because You City saw that the Huanyang school was driven out by Tianxia and them together, so they sacrificially refined this kind of treasure. They were afraid that they would suffer the same fate.
However, no matter what, with this thing, he was confident that he could protect the Main Heavenly Region.
Once this golden sand was sprinkled on a cultivator, it could trap and kill him forever outside of one side of the screen. Even if a cultivator plucked the fruit of the coexistence of reality and illusion, once touched by this thing, it was equivalent to disappearing from the world, and it was impossible to see him again.
If he encountered people like Zhengqing or Zhang Yu again, he could directly drive them out of the world, and Xuanting could find a way to bring them back. However, it would definitely take some time, and the current situation would be eased.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. Then, a ray of brilliance shone on him. His heart trembled, and he stepped out of the main hall. He looked up and saw that in the depths of the void, at the place where the qi dynamic collided, there was a glaring ray of light that traversed the void, as if it had torn a long and narrow crack in the curtain of the void.
In the main hall, Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu were all looking at the glaring ray of light with solemn expressions.
It was very likely that the Cymbidium Lucidum's exploration of the frontline had touched the possible location of the Huanyang school, thus triggering this generation's counterattack or response.
Gu Yangzi said, "Cut off the branches immediately."
Tian Hong said, "If we cut off the branches and continue to search, it's very likely that we won't be able to find the location of the Huanyang school."
Lingdu Daoist said, "If we allow the traces to remain, then our location will be exposed to Tianxia. Perhaps this is the intention of the Huanyang school, so that we will be exposed first."
Tian Hong frowned. This was not impossible. From the collision of the qi dynamic, it was very likely that the other side was the Huanyang school. Although this sect was not clear about their situation here, with the collision of the qi dynamic of the two schools, it was very likely that they would choose to do something that was beneficial to them through calculation.
Gu Yangzi said, "Tianxia will definitely come to find us in a moment. If we work together to cut off the branches, Friend Ying can do his best to protect us."
The three of them communicated telepathically. In a flash, they made a decision and passed the order to Ying Chong, asking him to do his best to prevent Tianxia from coming to search for them.
At the same time, such a huge commotion in the void naturally alarmed Tianxia and the other officials. Everyone gathered above the sea of clouds. After observing for a while, the chief Daoist said, "This is the qi dynamic backlash. Judging from this qi, the other side might really be the Huanyang school."
Lin Tingzhi immediately suggested, "Chief Daoist, this move has greatly exposed Shangchen. We can take this opportunity to find its main domain."
Zhong Tingzhi cupped his hands and said, "Chief Daoist, we can't miss this opportunity. If we allow the Zhengqing Daoist in the void to use the qi of the Qingqiong, we might be able to find it."
Chen Tingzhi said in a deep voice, "Judging from the previous situation, Ying Chong might have taken Shangchen City's Daoist treasure and might use it to control me. Therefore, not only the Zhengqing Daoist, but also the people in the front should use this qi. At the same time, we need to send more Xuan Zun over there. Perhaps we can seize this opportunity."
The chief Daoist also made a prompt decision and said, "As the officials have said, immediately pass down the order and order everyone to search for its location!"
