Zhang Yu nodded at Ming Zhou and said, "Thank you, Daoist Ming Zhou."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed again and disappeared along with the Clear Sky Qi.
Zhang Yu said to Yan Ruohan and Daoist Zhengqing, "Fellow Daoists, I'll stay here. You two can return to the court to report first."
Yan Ruohan and Daoist Zhengqing bowed to him and left the formation one after another as the golden light descended.
After the two of them left, the other Mystique Venerables also left one after another. Before each of them left, they all solemnly bowed to him.
Zhang Yu stood silently in the center of the formation and watched everyone return one by one. After everyone left, the formation became empty. Only the stars that seemed to have existed since ancient times were still flickering in the void.
At this moment, a figure silently came to his side and said, "Whether it's Shangchen or Huanyang, their Dao techniques still haven't broken out of the mold of the past. Junior disciples can only follow the path of their predecessors. Even if they've cultivated a superior technique, it's only the Dao of the Dao, not the Dao of the Dao."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "According to what you've said, those who followed you into the Dao of Chaos, aren't they also walking the Dao of the Dao of the Dao?"
Huo Heng said, "That's not the case. The Dao of Chaos doesn't follow the conservative Dao. Perhaps stupid people will follow suit, but those who have superior talent can open up a Dao of their own."
Zhang Yu didn't continue the discussion with him. Instead, he looked into the distance with his sleeves behind his back.
Huo Heng said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist, now that you've plucked the superior Dao, you'll understand if you continue cultivating. In the end, only the Great Chaos can be entrusted with the Dao of the Dao."
Zhang Yu sensed something at this moment. He raised his head and saw an oval-shaped shadow appear in the sky. It was obvious that Yuandu Xuantu had come to receive him.
He turned around and found that Huo Heng had disappeared, as if the conversation just now was just an illusion.
A thought flashed through his mind. According to the past situation, this person could only appear in a world that had been tainted by the Great Primal Chaos or if someone took the initiative to call out to Huo Heng.
Now that he was here, didn't it mean that someone in the formation was trying to switch to the Dao of Chaos? Or could it be that the problem did not lie with Tianxia, but with someone in Huanyang and Shenzhao who was close to the Dao of Chaos?
For the time being, he was unable to distinguish between them. He could only go back and report this to Xuanting.
However, he noticed that both Guan Chaosheng and Huo Heng had mentioned at the same time that if he continued to cultivate, he would understand something. As for what this thing was, it seemed to be unpredictable and indescribable.
He pondered for a moment, then decided not to pay any more attention to it. As the golden light descended from the sky, he swung his sleeve and stepped into it. The light retracted upwards and brought him back to the upper level.
As the Xuan Zun retreated to the upper level, the news of Tianxia winning the battle spread throughout the thirteen continents and the four prefectures.
Within the Dongting Prefecture, all the disciples cheered excitedly when they heard the news. In Taiyang Academy, cheers of "Tianxia is victorious" rang out incessantly.
If this battle started in March of the 389th year of the Great Xuan Calendar, which was also the time when Xuanting searched for Shangchen, it could be said that it had lasted for more than half a year. Now, it was finally coming to an end.
At this moment, a disciple stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists, although Shangchen was destroyed, Huanyang and Shenzhao were lucky enough to retreat. Your City is suspected to have retreated with them. This person still has his strength, so how could he give up so easily? When he recovers in the future, I'm afraid that he will still want to make a comeback and ruin the great cause of Tianxia! "
At this point, his voice rose a little, "We should not slack off because of this, but continue to work hard. In the past, it was you seniors who fought to the death to protect us. In the future, it may be time for us to work hard to protect the younger generation and the people of Tianxia! Even if you can't do it, you should have the ability to protect yourself and ensure your safety. At least, when the time comes, no one will come to protect you. "
The disciples nodded. After all, they were all cultivators, so they recovered relatively quickly. After they calmed down, they quickly calmed down and went on to cultivate.
At the center of Xuanfu's Star Platform, outside the main hall, Cui Yue stood on the platform and looked at the vast sky above.
Xiang Chun walked over and said, "Cui Shouzheng, what are you looking at?"
Cui Yue said, "I keep feeling that the sky above Tianxia is wider today."
Xiang Chun couldn't help but nod and said, "In the past, the inner layer has always been worried about being invaded by the outer layer. With Shangchen and You City's words, now we can be a little more at ease."
However, as the manager, he didn't think that Shangchen and You City had no enemies after going there. Not to mention that the evil gods and their descendants were still there, it didn't mean that all the cultivators on the outer layer had left. These few families might have left behind some backup plans.
Moreover, the outer layer had enemies on the outer layer, and the inner layer also had disasters that the inner layer had to deal with. The two couldn't be compared. From 300 years ago until now, the many demons and monsters of chaos in the inner layer had never faded from Tianxia's sight. It would probably be the same in the future.
It was just that in the future, they wouldn't be as vigilant as during wartime, but would instead focus on the people.
Cui Yue said, "No matter what, the biggest enemy has been eliminated. Tianxia will probably reorganize the inner layer. I wonder what will happen next."
As the disciple of Chen Tingzhi, he naturally knew many things. With the enemy gone, there might be conflicts between Zhen Xuan and Zhen Xuan. As the Monk Hunjang, this was something that he had always been worried about.
Xiang Chun said, "If you're not in your position, don't think about other things. These things can be left to Head Xuan and Xuan Zun. We just need to do what we need to do well. When we can reach a higher level, it won't be too late to think about these things. "
Cui Yue thought for a while and nodded seriously, "Manager Xiang is right. Instead of thinking about these things here, it's better to cultivate the Upper Spell and personally participate in this matter."
He looked at the boundless starry sky and said, "Fortunately, Zhang Shouzheng has created the Seal of Climbing Path. The path to the upper layer is already in front of us. We should seize this opportunity. I only hope that in the future, we can say with confidence, 'In this life of cultivation, we won't let our predecessors down, and we won't let ourselves down'."
At this time, Zhang Yu had already returned to Shouzheng Palace with the help of Yuandu Xuantu.
Although he had gone through a series of battles this time, after plucking the Upper Realm fruit, his Heart Force could be said to be endless. In addition to his "Zhen Ding", he could maintain his peak state under any external changes. Therefore, at this moment, compared to before he went out to fight, he was even stronger because of the discussion of Dharma with Guan Chaosheng and the others.
He first flipped through the reports from various parties. Seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he went to the back and sat down.
In his arrangements, the matter of coming down to find his own Dharma was the most important. However, this could be put aside for the time being. There was a more important matter that needed to be solved first.
Previously, due to the urgency of time, after plucking the Upper Realm fruit, he directly went to the void to oversee the formation. Now, in the basic seal of the visualization of the Mysterious Cicada, there was only the "Word Seal" and "Eye Seal" that he had mastered in the past. He did not have time to integrate the "Life Seal" into it. Now, he had to find a way to integrate it.
When this was done, the power of the visualization would increase by another level. Moreover, he only had a rough grasp of the Life Seal. There were still many mysteries that could be explored slowly.
First, he adjusted his breath. Just as he was sorting out his Qi, he felt a thought from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He looked around and saw that it was Jin Zhixing. He said, "Kim Daoist, how is it?"
Jin Zhixing said respectfully, "Shouzheng, the matter in You City has been settled. Xian Ding has indeed buried the Refinement Formation in You City. He wants to refine the people in the city and those who come later. Fortunately, we saw through it in time."
Zhang Yu had heard Jin Zhixing mention before that Xian Ding was a person who was harsh and ungrateful. He had a dark mind and always hated to see others living well. There were some things that he could not use, but he did not want others to take them. If he escaped, then he would definitely leave behind such means. Now, Jin Zhixing was right.
He said, "Kim Daoist, did you have any casualties in this trip?"
Jin Zhixing quickly said, "With the cooperation of Shouzheng Zhu, Mei Shouzheng Mei, and Daoist Gan, and later on, we managed to contact Daoist Chang who had entered the city earlier. With the combination of internal and external forces, we were able to successfully break through the city. This was actually related to the fact that the Refinement Formation was incomplete. There was an obvious gap in the formation.
I guess that this should have been intentionally left behind by Xian Ding's trusted aide, Zhenren Wang. It seems that this person did not want to be ruthless. Instead, he wanted to leave a way out for himself in the future. "
Zhang Yu nodded. He was not surprised that the people of You City made such a choice. It would be strange if they did not do it. He said, "How many people are left in You City?"
Jin Zhixing said, "I have counted. In You City, other than the hundreds of disciples and some servants, there are more than ten million Tianxia citizens. They have also been safely rescued."
Zhang Yu praised, "You have done well. After this, I will personally report to Kim Daoist and the other Daoists."
Jin Zhixing quickly thanked him respectfully.
Just as they were talking, Zhang Yu suddenly heard the sound of jade chimes above the sea of clouds. He thought about it. Today was the fifteenth of the eleventh month. If there were no accidents, this should be the middle of the month court meeting.
For the past few years, in order to deal with the war and make it easier to come up with countermeasures at any time, the court officials had used their clones to discuss matters in the meeting hall. They were no longer discussing matters above the sea of clouds like before.
Now, it seemed that the war had calmed down, and they had resumed their formal discussions.
At the same time, in the depths of the sea of clouds, the long river of light slowly unfolded amidst the sound of jade chimes. The thirteen court officials had all arrived here and sat down by the long river.
The court officials first discussed the post-war pacification, as well as the allocation of the various parties.
After these discussions, Lin Tingzhi stood up from his seat and bowed. He said, "Dear court officials, Shangchen has been destroyed. Huanyang, Shenzhao, You City, and the other factions have all retreated. The outer layer of the void has been mostly leveled. The Xuan Zun who fought this time should be rewarded. Now, it is time to discuss your merits."
