In You City's main city, thanks to the endless blue spirit vitality pouring in, the branches that grew out of the array took up the entire main hall.
And from the upper half of the branches, there were many branches that stretched out, extending to every corner of You City.
Every time they went to a place, the top of the branches would melt and open a hole between the two worlds. Then, they would gather together again. This was like a drop of water falling on the surface of the earth, flowing away, and then gradually fusing back together.
After a long time, the holes in the void had almost covered the entire main city of You City. The Heavenly Palace was faintly about to fall into the hole on the other side.
Yu Lingbi cupped his hands towards Daoist Xian Ding and said, "Senior, the heavenly branches have already pointed out the path ahead. We can cross now."
Daoist Xian Ding glanced to the side. Daoist Wang quickly came up and said, "Senior, the disciples below have already prepared and can leave at any time."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Pass down the order to seal the city and prepare to cross to the other world."
Daoist Wang was startled. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Is there anything else?"
Daoist Wang said, "Just now, there was a report outside that two more fellow daoists are heading towards us. Should we wait for them?"
Daoist Xian Ding said, "No need … wait!" He thought carefully and said, "Send someone to greet them. Try to delay their arrival as much as possible. If they arrive first, arrange for them to stay in the auxiliary city. Tell them that we will meet them later."
Daoist Wang was startled. This was because he knew that Xian Ding had already laid down the Blood Refining Array in the auxiliary city. He replied, "Yes. I will arrange it now. "
Daoist Xian Ding looked up at the void. He could feel that there was nothing in the void on the other side, not even the stars. It couldn't be compared to this world at all. However, he had no choice. If he didn't go there, he would only be destroyed by Tianxia if he stayed.
Yu Lingbi saw that the formation had stabilized and handed it over to Ying Chong to manage. He walked down from the center of the formation and walked to Xian Ding's side. He said, "Senior, when you get there, are you going to rebuild the sect?"
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Back then, my teachings had already been incorporated into Shen Xia. Now, my teachings are merely inherited from Shen Xia. The so-called reestablishment has no foundation at all."
Yu Lingbi nodded gently. She could understand this.
Because Shen Xia had already merged all the sects in name, if You City were to trace it back, then the orthodoxy could only be traced back to Shen Xia. Since Shen Xia's orthodox successor was Tianxia, then it would be a bit awkward.
Although You City could forcefully climb to the top of the Ancient Xia Sect, that would be meaningless. Not to mention that the true meaning of Daoism was different, just look at Shangchen and Huanyang. Which one of them wasn't an orthodox sect that had been passed down from Ancient Xia? They could tell your authenticity at a glance. If you forcefully acknowledge them as your ancestor, it would be a joke.
She thought for a while and tried to ask, "Senior, are you going to establish your own sect?"
Daoist Xian Ding said, "That will have to wait until we arrive at a suitable place."
When Yu Lingbi heard this, she knew that he was indeed planning to do so. She bowed slightly and said, "Then Lingbi will congratulate you first."
Daoist Xian Ding looked at her and nodded.
He knew that Yu Lingbi was trying to be friendly with him.
Although it looked like the four sects were working together to fight against Tianxia, Shenzhao and Huanyang were much stronger than them, and their two sects were at their weakest. If they didn't work together, it was hard to say what would happen.
Yu Lingbi's purpose was partly because of this reason, and partly because she had heard from Gu Yangzi and the others that the almighty behind You City achieved Dao relatively late, at the end of Shen Xia.
But it wasn't like there weren't any benefits here.
In terms of seniority, she was one generation higher than Gu Yangzi and the others. Daoist Xian Ding's relationship with this official disciple and teacher was much closer than the relationship between the upper echelons of other sects and the sect's leaders, which was separated by many generations. And the support she could receive was obviously much greater.
In the time it took to exchange a few words, Daoist Wang had already returned from outside. He came in front of Daoist Xian Ding and bowed, saying, "Venerable One, everything has been arranged."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Leader Yu, I still need to use the transportation formation to move Heaven City. I will need your cooperation."
Yu Lingbi said, "I will do my best."
Daoist Xian Ding took out a seal from his sleeve and threw it into the sky. Light scattered, covering You City's main city. This Heaven City silently moved to the other side of the void.
Yu Lingbi also cooperated with him at this moment, continuing to inject blue spirit vitality into the formation.
At first, Heaven City moved extremely slowly, as if it was squeezing its way to the other side bit by bit, as if it was overcoming some kind of obstruction. But as more than half of the Heaven Palace entered the other side, the process suddenly sped up countless times. With a flash of light, it was already on the other side, leaving only the exposed auxiliary city floating in the void.
You City's main city had always been the main city and auxiliary city, one in the light and one in the dark. It wasn't that he didn't want to take it with him, but time didn't allow for it. This was because his ancestor had told him that if he didn't leave within a day, then the variables would infinitely increase, and he might not have the chance to leave again.
And when he arrived in the void, he also made up his mind. At this time, even if Tianxia chased after him, he had nothing to fear. He could seal this vortex gap at any time.
He seemed to casually ask, "Fellow Daoist Wang, is the auxiliary city safe?"
Daoist Wang lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Venerable One, there won't be any traces left behind."
Daoist Xian Ding made a sound of acknowledgment and said to Yu Lingbi, "Yu Zhizhang, come with me to meet the fellow Daoists of the two sects."
Yu Lingbi nodded in agreement.
Daoist Xian Ding immediately urged You City to slowly cross into the depths of the void.
On the other side, Li Mishen opened his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Guan, the fellow daoists of You City and Shangchen have already crossed over. We can seal the passage between the two worlds."
Guan Chaosheng said, "Wait a moment."
Li Mishen asked, "Is there anything else, Fellow Daoist Guan?"
Guan Chaosheng looked at the Thousand Luminaries Grand Array on the other side of the passage between the two worlds and said, "I have something to say to the fellow daoist on the other side."
Li Mishen frowned. He reminded, "Fellow Daoist, it's not good to provoke Tianxia at this time." When he met his ancestor just now, he had to vaguely inform him that Tianxia might change his mind this time, so it wasn't a good idea to provoke Tianxia at this time.
Guan Chaosheng just glanced at him. A Primordial Spirit came out of his body and turned into a streak of light that rushed toward the passage between the two worlds.
On the pivot of the Thousand Luminaries Grand Array, Zhang Yu was paying attention to the changes in the Qi activity on the other side of the passage.
He had just received an edict from Xuanting, saying that the battle was over. If the Shenzhao and Huanyang sects chose to retreat, there was no need to react. They could just leave them be.
It wasn't difficult to feel that the Qi activity of the two sects was gradually weakening, which proved that this generation was indeed retreating.
The two sides didn't have much communication before, but now they reached an agreement so quickly. It could only be a game between the upper echelons.
While he was thinking, he suddenly saw a streak of light fly out and stop in front of the array. The light dispersed, and Guan Chaosheng's Primordial Spirit appeared. He looked up at the array and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, can you come out for a chat?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said to Daoist Zhengqing and Yan Ruohan, "Please take care of the array."
Yan Ruohan nodded and said, "Be careful, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yu waved his sleeve and stepped on the Yunzhi Jade Platform. The clouds and starlight spread out, and he floated out of the array. He stopped not far from Guan Chaosheng and said, "Guan Zun, what do you want to say?"
Guan Chaosheng said, "I was defeated by Fellow Daoist Zhang in this battle, which is very regrettable. I wanted to discuss Dao with you again, but now that our two sects have stopped fighting, I can only wait until the future to see how good you are."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "That day may not be too far away."
Guan Chaosheng laughed and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhang is from Xuanxiu. In Tianxia, you may not be able to reach the end. However, my Huanyang school doesn't care about one's background or lineage. If Fellow Daoist Zhang can't stay in Tianxia anymore, you can come to my place."
As he spoke, he threw a talisman over.
Zhang Yu didn't take it and just let it float there. He said, "Fellow Daoist Guan, aren't you afraid that I, Tianxia, will use this to find you?"
Guan Chaosheng said with deep meaning, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you haven't plucked the top achievements for long, so there are many things you don't know. Even if all the sects are destroyed, Tianxia may not win. There are some things that Fellow Daoist will eventually understand when your cultivation reaches a certain level. And with your cultivation, that day won't be too far away."
He glanced at the talisman floating there. "Fellow Daoist can do whatever you want with it, but if you keep it, it may be useful." With that, he turned into a blazing light and exploded.
Zhang Yu glanced at the talisman and reached out to take it. He then turned back to the formation and showed the talisman to Yan Ruohan and Zhengqing. He said, "Do the two of you recognize this?"
Yan Ruohan glanced at it and said, "It looks like this is the Huanyang school's summoning talisman." She smiled. "It looks like Guan Chaosheng wants to pull Zhang Shouzheng into the Huanyang school."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He hadn't seen the summoning talisman in person, but he had seen records of it. This thing was used as an invitation talisman to invite external cultivators to join the sect during ancient Xia and Shenxia. It was an object that was approved by the entire sect.
It was worth mentioning that although this object was originally used for this purpose, during the Shenxia period, it became a token that cultivators used to recommend their disciples or descendants to seek the Dao and become apprenticed to a master. He was also wondering if Guan Chaosheng had a deeper purpose for giving him this item.
At this moment, Daoist Zhengqing said, "Zhang Shouzheng, it's better to keep this object."
Zhang Yu looked at him, but Daoist Zhengqing didn't say anything. He had a thought. Whether or not he kept this object, he would report this matter to the court when he returned to the upper echelons.
