Zhang Yu nodded slightly and called out in his mind. After a short while, a few rays of light flew over and fell into his sleeves. These were the instruments that he needed this time.
At this moment, a ray of light flashed and Ming Zhou appeared on the platform. He bowed to Zhang Yu and took out a jade talisman. He said respectfully, "Shouzheng, Ming Zhou is here to deliver the jade talisman that controls the Thousand Luminous Star Charging Formation."
Zhang Yu looked down and the jade talisman floated over. He took it in his hand and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Daoist Ming Zhou."
Ming Zhou said, "The deacons of the court have a message for Zhang Shouzheng. This time, you must block the passage between the two worlds. Before I take down Shangchen, you must not let the enemy come over. If there are any changes or if you need help, Shouzheng can report to the court immediately."
Solemnly, Zhang Yu said, "I will guard this place."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed again, and his figure dissipated into light.
Zhang Yu waited for him to leave and transferred his Qi into the jade talisman. In a flash, the talisman was refined.
At this moment, he raised his head and looked in front of him. A huge hole slowly melted in the heaven and earth. Behind the hole, there was a boundless void.
He said to the Xuan Zun below, "My fellow Daoists, please follow me into the formation." After he finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the hole. His figure flashed and disappeared into the hole.
The twelve Xuan Zun followed him.
Behind them, there were more than thirty Xuanting Xuanxiu who were transferred over. This was to make it easier for everyone to communicate with each other. Although there was a connection method in the formation, it was still inferior to Xuntian Dao Zhang's.
After Zhang Yu stepped through the hole, he appeared on one of the earthly stars of the Thousand Luminaries Star-charging Formation. This was where the pivot of the formation was located. The ground under his feet was a three-layered circular spell platform. Standing here, he could see all the earthly stars. Above him was the hole between the two worlds. Looking from here, it seemed to be very close.
After waiting for the twelve Xuan Zun to arrive, he said, "Fellow Daoist Bi Ming, Fellow Daoist Shi, please stay here. I have something to say. As for the rest of you, please go and guard the Lantern Festivals."
Everyone bowed to him and left with their orders.
After they left, Zhang Yu turned to Bi Ming and Shi Cheng and said, "Fellow Daoists and I can be considered acquaintances, so I have something to tell you."
Bi Ming and Shi Cheng knew that he must be talking about guarding. They both said solemnly, "Please take care of us, Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu said, "I've learned about the Huanyang school before. I don't know much about the Shenzhao Sect, but it can't be without the means of Daoist cultivators. However, now that we're standing in the void, we have to be careful of the Evil Gods."
Bi Ming and Shi Cheng were both affected by the Evil Gods' Bewilderment Barrier, so they knew the danger of the Evil Gods.
Shi Cheng said cautiously, "Shouzheng, in the past, the Evil Gods all retreated wherever the Clear Sky Qi passed. Now that the Clear Sky Qi is diffusing here, will the Evil Gods really come?"
However, Zhang Yu said, "They're just retreating. It's hard to say if they won't attack me. Besides, how do we know that they didn't deliberately put on a show before? In the past, the Evil Gods were messy and unpredictable. However, the Evil Gods now have some order in their actions. We can't let our guard down. "
Daoist Bi Ming agreed, "Shouzheng is right. However, how should we guard against them? "
Zhang Yu said, "I have something to say. The two of you should remember it well. If the two of you have any doubts later, you can recite it and you will be able to verify it." As he said that, he uttered a mysterious and short voice.
Bi Ming and Shi Cheng immediately memorized it.
However, the strange thing was that when they heard it, they clearly knew that they had memorized it. However, when they tried, they realized that they couldn't say it out loud.
Based on their achievements, they quickly understood that they could only say it out loud when they were really trapped in the Bewilderment Barrier. When the two of them thought of this, they couldn't help but admire Zhang Yu's methods.
Shi Cheng had a deeper feeling about this. Moreover, he had the same excitement as Daoist Feng in his heart.
Now that Zhang Yu had achieved great achievements, in addition to his past achievements, if there were no accidents, he would be able to sit on the seat of the Court Enforcer. When that time comes, Xuanxiu would no longer have the authority to speak.
However, when he thought about the present, he couldn't help but worry, "It's just that this stage is difficult. I don't know if Daoist Zhang can hold on."
Daoist Bi Ming pondered over the voice for a while. He raised his head and said, "Shouzheng, Bi Ming has a question. Why don't you tell the other Daoists about this? Maybe they'll be disturbed as well?"
Zhang Yu said, "There's a reason for this. I've dealt with the Evil God several times. When I came back to check the records, I realized that those who were disturbed by the Evil God had a higher chance of being disturbed the next time. I suspect that if they were bewildered by the Evil God repeatedly in a short period of time, with some kind of trigger, something unpredictable might happen. However, there's no proof yet."
He looked at the two of them and said, "Those Daoists have been cultivating in the upper levels for a long time. Even if they've dealt with the Evil God before, it's been a long time. The two of you have met the Evil God recently, so you're the most likely to be affected."
The two of them were shocked. They didn't expect such a thing to happen.
When they were asked to stay by Zhang Yu, they thought that it was because they were acquainted with Zhang Yu and he wanted to entrust them with some important matters. They didn't expect this to be the reason.
The two of them looked at each other and bowed deeply to Zhang Yu to express their gratitude for this matter. If it wasn't for Zhang Yu's reminder, they probably wouldn't have cared much about it.
Zhang Yu nodded in return and ordered the two of them to go back to guard the Lantern Festival.
Then, he took out the Formation Pivot Jade Talisman and sent his heart's light into it to inspect the formation. After looking inside and out, he already had a plan in mind. With a shift of his mind, he separated a clone and went to each of the Lantern Festivals to talk to each of the Xuan Zun who was guarding the Lantern Festival. He explained in detail how to deal with various situations and how to cooperate.
If it was in the sect in the past, the Xuan Zun would guard each place and no one would interfere. Once they were attacked, they would be allowed to act on their own.
However, he didn't think so. Tianxia was Tianxia. It was one from top to bottom, unlike the loose sect of the past. Since this was a formation, it should exert the power of the whole, twisting everyone into one.
Moreover, his arrangements were all made with practical considerations. He had considered all kinds of situations. The Xuan Zun could naturally distinguish between good and bad. These people were willing to listen to him at first because they were afraid of his cultivation, but now they were somewhat impressed by him.
Simply having outstanding strength and having the ability to guard a region were not the same. However, among the cultivators, no matter how good you were at manipulating the general situation, it was useless if no one was willing to listen to you. Because your own cultivation was not high, there was no way you could convince others.
On the other hand, when one's cultivation was high enough, it was not easy to have the ability to control the general situation.
They felt that the Xuan Ting had chosen the right person this time. However, when they thought about how Zhang Yu also held the position of Guard of a continent, they felt relieved. They thought to themselves that it was no wonder that when the Xuan Ting chose the Guard of a Continent, only those with experience would be able to sit on it.
After Zhang Yu finished communicating with everyone, he turned back and sat down on the altar again.
Then, he passed the order of arranging the formation through the jade talisman. He found that it was much smoother than before. The Xuan Zun also knew how to cooperate with him. It was not like at the beginning where he just did what he had to do and did not ask about anything else.
After the formation was stabilized, he looked up at the void. The passage between the two worlds was gradually expanding, and there were holes next to it that looked like they were being gnawed. This should be the Guardian Treasure of the Shenzhao Sect, the "Sky-Eating Insect."
Now the situation of the Shenzhao Sect was unclear. It was hard to say whether they had joined forces with the Huanyang school or been subdued and annexed by the Huanyang school. However, the Guardian Treasure was not fake.
From what Ming Zhou had told him, although this thing was called an "insect," it was incorporeal. Before it was activated, there was no way to detect it. This was also why it was so powerful.
After watching for a while, he saw that the whole formation was gradually operating. He held the jade talisman and pushed the Clear Sky Qi toward the passage between the two worlds.
He knew the method of operating the Clear Sky Qi. Now that his cultivation was higher than before, and with the help of the formation, the Clear Sky Qi he could mobilize was much more powerful than before. As the Clear Sky Qi surged up like a tide, the gnawing marks on the void wall immediately slowed down and even showed signs of recovery.
He looked at the passage, thinking that the other side would not sit by and watch him do this. If they did not mobilize more power, then they would send people out to break the situation. Or maybe they would do both at the same time.
In the Heavenly Palace, the Tingzhi were not in a hurry to make a move against Shangchen.
This was because Huan Yang and Shenzhao Sects had yet to make much of a move. Whether or not Zhang Yu could really defend himself remained to be seen. If he could, then they would be able to unleash their full strength.
In Shangchen, Ying Chong stood on the Cymbidium Lucidum and looked up at the sky. He was also paying attention to the situation in the void.
Although they had blocked Tianxia's attack, he judged that Tianxia's murderous intent was still hidden. He should still have a backup plan.
However, Shangchen had already used all the methods that they could. No matter how much pressure Tianxia put on, they could only use their current strength to resist.
Therefore, the most important thing now was in the void. If Huanyang or the Shenzhao Sect could make a breakthrough, Tianxia would definitely come back to help. Then, the situation here could be alleviated.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a large amount of Qi in the Great Array of Ten Thousand Stars. Countless Qi of the Clear Sky poured into the hole. He reacted quickly and immediately guessed that someone must have gone to take charge of the Great Array. It was not like before, when the Great Array just blocked the hole on its own.
This was very bad for Shangchen. The longer the void was delayed, the more danger Shangchen would be in.
He was about to do something, but after thinking about it, he did not move. Because this was an opportunity to test the other side's intentions. If Huanyang and the Shenzhao Sects did not make a move at this moment, it meant that they wanted to sit by and watch Shangchen be destroyed. In that case, they would have to consider a way out. But if that was not the case, then these two sects would definitely take countermeasures.
He thought that they should wait and see.
At this moment, both sides were paying attention to the situation in the void. For a moment, all eyes were focused on it.
