Zhang Yu sat in the array and pondered for a while. In the battle just now, regardless of whether it was Chen Baixiao or Yu Qingrong, their supernatural powers and Dao techniques were beyond the scope of ordinary battles.
Chen Baixiao's Dharma could be seen from the consciousness he left behind at the end. It was a Dharma that could reverse life and death. As for Yu Qingrong's Dharma, on the surface, it seemed to be a reflection into a picture. However, in reality, it was about holding one's breath and setting up a mystery.
Both of their supernatural powers and spells had a common characteristic. They relied on their Dao-Guarding Treasures to rise to a higher level.
This also meant that even if one could defeat the two of them in a normal battle, it might not necessarily be a victory. The two of them could still use a higher level of change to suppress one. If one lost a battle on this level, everything that one had previously obtained would have to be returned.
This was similar to a cultivator who did not have the ability to fly and could only fight on the ground. However, if the opponent had the ability to fly, they could come and go freely. They could even leap into the air to attack one from afar. How could one win?
Therefore, once a cultivator borrowed their Dao-Guarding Treasures, one could no longer view a battle on this level with the same logic as in the past.
Furthermore, one did not have to rely on their Dao-Guarding Treasures. Those who had plucked top-notch achievements for a long time and were closer to the upper level in terms of Dao might be able to display such power on their own.
He was fortunate enough to witness the supernatural powers of Chen Tingzhi and the Head Enforcer when he attacked the Yuandu Sect. At that time, he could not distinguish too much. However, looking back now, he had a different understanding.
In particular, the Head Enforcer's supernatural powers made him feel that it was also close to the upper level of change.
He looked at the passage of the two worlds outside the array. It was still expanding outwards. The Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects were obviously not going to give up on entering the world. In order to break the array, they would definitely use more power.
The cultivator who came out to fight with him just now was definitely not the person that the two sects wanted the most. There should be a cultivator with a higher level of Dao hiding behind the scenes.
Chen Xi didn't have to think about it to know that such a person would definitely possess even greater authority to control Dao Suppression Treasures and possess even more formidable Divine Abilities. This was an opponent that Chen Xi would very likely have to face when he descended.
If it was such an opponent, he might not be able to block it. However, he could not completely rely on Xuanting here. After all, Xuanting would definitely put most of his forces into attacking Shangchen. Although Daoist Feng did not say anything, he knew that the longer he could hold on, the better.
If he wanted to fight against such a character, he could only think of a way from the upper echelons.
In truth, the Seal of the Great Path that he had grasped could also be considered an upper-level power. However, this thing was complementary to his own cultivation. Comprehending it required time, and it was impossible for him to improve too much in a hurry.
In that case, the only way left was to use the Clear Sky Qi.
Just now, when the two Qi dynamics collided, it spontaneously revealed many profound principles. He also saw many things from it. In order to avoid becoming one with the Dao, he calmed his mind and didn't look. However, he had the eye imprint on him, so he could look but not be entranced. This was actually a reflection of the Great Dao imprint.
However, now that there was no collision of Qi dynamics, he could try to look at it bit by bit.
This was an extremely precious gain.
Although it couldn't bring him much benefits right now, it would undoubtedly allow him to use the Clear Sky Qi better.
As for combining the Qi to create magical changes, Chen and Yu could only do it because they had been combined with the Treasure of Guarding Dao for a long time. He had not been in contact with this Qi for long, so he did not have the ability to do so. He could only think of a way to guide more Qi dynamics from the Clear Sky Boat. After all, if Xuanting wanted to give away his authority, how much he could control would depend entirely on the cultivator's own ability.
While he was thinking, Xuntian Dao Zhang suddenly felt a message from Daoist Feng. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, is there something that the court wants to talk to you about?"
Daoist Feng said, "Zhang Shouzheng, when the Qi of Yang Calamity was released from the passage between the two worlds, something else followed it out. Some court officials speculated that it might be the insect of the Divine Bright Sect's Treasure of Guarding Dao, 'Swallow You'. This thing can swallow the void and strengthen itself. It might then target the formation. You have to be careful."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then raised his hand and bowed. He said, "Thank you for telling me."
Solemnly, Daoist Feng said, "Also, Xuanting has already decided that after half a day, they will attack Shangchen. Huanyang school might also have some strange movements at that time. Fellow Daoist, you have to be careful here."
Zhang Yu nodded and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, please tell the court that I will try my best to protect this place."
Daoist Feng agreed. After bidding farewell to him, his figure disappeared from Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Zhang Yu withdrew from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He glanced at the time dial on the side. It was now the 389th year of the Da Xuan calendar, the 20th of July.
According to the time of Tianxia's inner layer, half a day later, it would be tomorrow, which was the sunrise of the 21st. At that time, Tianxia would launch an all-out attack.
As for the Swallow You Insect, he was not too worried at the moment. Since this Treasure of Guarding Dao could pass through the passage, it must be limited. It could not grow too big in a short time. If he wanted to think of its purpose, it must be to attack and harass.
If it was to attack and harass, there was still the Qi of Clear Sky outside the formation. It could be destroyed with a little wear down. Therefore, if this thing appeared, it would definitely cooperate with Huanyang school's attack to try to break the formation again.
A Treasure of Guarding Dao could only be resisted by another Treasure of Guarding Dao. No matter how he looked at it, it forced him to find a way to control more Qi of Clear Sky in this period of time.
On the other side, after Lin Tingzhi arrived at the formation, he found Daoist You and asked, "Daoist You, how's it going?"
Daoist You stroked his beard and said, "The arrangement is stable. It's just that a portion of the Qi of Clear Sky was used. If this Qi is not enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist Cymbidium Lucidum."
Lin Tingzhi said solemnly, "The court is willing to delay for half a day. However, after half a day at the latest, we must launch the attack."
The passage between the two worlds was constantly expanding. If they waited any longer, there might be a change. Therefore, even if they left some time to accumulate more Qi of Clear Sky, they could not delay for too long.
Daoist You's expression also became solemn. Solemnly, he said, "As long as the court gives the order, I can move it at any time."
At the same time, in Xuanfu of An Province of Dongting Prefecture, Xiang Chun and Cui Yue were both sitting in a side hall. They were understanding the current situation of the battle through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
At this moment, Cui Yue's expression changed. He said, "Just now, news came from Xuanting. Zhang Xuanshou broke through the enemy's front line and blocked Huanyang school's path to the world."
Xiang Chun nodded. "That's good news." He continued, "Huanyang is blocked. Next, Xuanting will attack Shangchen with all their strength. This battle will determine the direction of the situation."
Cui Yue said without the slightest doubt, "I, Tianxia, will win."
Xiang Chun agreed with this view. He drew up a talisman and called Xu Ying in from outside, saying, "Junior Brother Xu, pass on this news."
Because this battle involved Tianxia's future and possibly the safety of all Tianxia's citizens, Tianxia did not hide these things. If he could win, he would win. If he did not win, he would not win. If he deliberately hid it, he was afraid that the enemy would find a loophole.
Moreover, Tianxia was confident that he could win this battle.
Xu Ying received it, bowed, and quickened his pace.
At this moment, in the large meeting palace on the south side of Xuanfu in An Province, more than a thousand Xuanfu disciples were waiting for news. These disciples had just entered the residence not long ago and were still consolidating their foundations. They were not allowed to use their Divine Essence to pay attention to Xuntian Dao Zhang. If they wanted to know the battle situation, they could only rely on news from above.
Because there had been no news for a long time, the atmosphere was tense. The disciples stood in twos and threes. Some were talking softly, some were sitting motionless, and some were pacing back and forth uneasily.
A disciple came to Yan Yuming's side and whispered, "Senior Brother Yan, why hasn't there been any news?"
Yan Yuming held the Dragon Li in his arms. He rubbed the cat's head and said confidently, "Don't worry, no news is good news."
The disciple was slightly relieved.
At this moment, Yan Yuming's heart skipped a beat. He saw the news coming from Xuntian Dao Zhang. Before he could read it carefully, he heard hurried footsteps outside. Many disciples heard it and looked in the direction of the sound.
A Xuanxiu disciple walked in with a letter in his hand. He calmed himself down and raised the letter high. He said excitedly, "I just received news that Head Xuan Zhang of Dongting has been ordered by Xuanting to guard the void. Huanyang's people have been forced to retreat by Head Xuan alone."
Hearing these words, the originally oppressive atmosphere in the hall instantly disappeared without a trace as everyone's faces revealed joy. However, they were after all disciples of the Profound Palace, and were all people who had cultivated. Even though their hearts were excited, their actions did not show too much of a reaction. However, at this time, they were able to hear the voices of "Tian Xia will definitely win" that came from the academia like a tide, and they could not help but feel waves of emotions surge.
And it was not only in Dongting. Almost at the same time, the news was spread in all continents. Everyone was excited.
Tianxia's conquest of Shangchen Celestial could be considered to be the wish of the people, because both the outer and inner layers had been constantly harassed. They were originally very confident about this battle, because everyone knew that after more than three hundred years, Tianxia's power was greater than Shangchen Celestial's. Victory seemed to be inevitable.
However, after the return of the Huanyang Sect, when they found out that the Huanyang Sect was not inferior to Shang Chen Tian, most people began to worry. Even an ordinary person could see that if Tian Xia did not handle this matter properly, it was very likely that they would fall into a disadvantageous situation where both sides were at war.
Now that they knew that Zhang Yu and ten Xuan Zun had blocked Huanyang school's return and resolved the crisis, everyone was excited.
However, this battle was not over.
Perhaps it had not really begun.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Tingzhi looked into the inner regions and saw that the first ray of morning light had risen from the horizon along with the morning sun after a long night. Soon, it would release a light that would sweep away all the haze.
At this moment, he heard the long sound of a bell in the sky, followed by another, and a moment later, another. After these three rings, an imperial edict fell from the sky accompanied by a golden light.
Lin Tingzhi reached out and caught it. He opened it and looked at it, then closed it with a bang. He raised his head and said to Daoist You, "Daoist You, it's time to begin."
