With the official announcement from the Xuanting, the news of Zhang Yu becoming a Court Deacon was made known to the Xuan Head Guardians of the various continents. All of the Xuan Zun understood that there was now another person who wielded authority above the Xuanting.
Most of the Xuan Zun who were cultivating in seclusion at the upper levels were deeply moved when they heard of this news. However, deep down, they were also convinced.
Zhang Yu's performance in the battle that destroyed Shangchen was witnessed by everyone. He single-handedly blocked the invasion of two sects, and successively defeated four Daoist cultivators who had obtained top-notch achievements, directly or indirectly. This battle could be said to be the most meritorious deed. With such cultivation and such miraculous skills, it was natural for him to become a Court Deacon.
Although most of the upper levels were True Cultivators, they were also a group of people who worshipped Daoism the most. In their eyes, one's cultivation was here, and one's understanding of the principles of the Great Dao was above theirs. Therefore, one's actions were naturally reasonable.
The Xuan Head Guardians of the various continents were thinking more. They needed to understand this person's preferences and inclinations as soon as possible. The decisions made by the Xuanting would undoubtedly be influenced by this person. This would certainly involve the direction of the various continents in the future.
Yujing, Sunrise Peak.
Daoist Yuhang looked at the Xuanting's announcement and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, when he realized that he could not compete with Zhang Yu, he took the initiative to back down and did not intend to compete with Zhang Yu again. Otherwise, if he was remembered by this person, he would definitely not feel good if this person used his authority to manipulate him a few times over the Xuanting.
After becoming a Court Deacon, he was not on the same level as the Guardians. To exaggerate, they were some of the more important chess pieces, while the Court Deacon was the real chess player in Tianxia. As for those who were above him, because he did not interfere with the affairs of the world, he did not have much of an impact on the people below him.
At this moment, he thought for a moment and summoned a trusted disciple. He said, "Did the Dongting Prefecture's emissary come to Yujing a few days ago?"
The disciple knew everything about Yujing by heart. He said, "The Dongting Prefecture wants to transfer one or two master craftsmen over. However, there are still many links in the Tenki-in Hall that have not been cleared. "
Daoist Yuhang said, "Go to the Ministry of Heavenly Works and tell them that the Dongting Prefecture has been isolated from the Central Region for a hundred years, and there are many things to be done. They urgently need reinforcements. As Yujing is the capital, they should be taken care of it."
The disciple thought for a moment before replying, "Yes, Teacher. This disciple will get it done."
Although he didn't know about Zhang Yusheng's appointment as Deacon of the Eastern Court, he wasn't surprised. Because Yu Hang often helped others, he guessed that his teacher might be doing a favor for the Head Xuan of the Eastern Court.
Yu Hang's conflicts with others had always been private. Even if he wanted to target someone, he would appear to be amiable on the surface. There did not seem to be any conflicts. Therefore, even as his disciple, he did not know which fellow Daoists his teacher was on good terms with, and which fellow Daoists he was not on good terms with.
In the Yi Luo Prefecture, the Xuan Head Gao Mo also learned that Zhang Yu had been promoted to Xuan Head Guardian. He could not help but feel overjoyed and excited.
It was no wonder he was so excited. Although there were many Xuanxiu now, there was a lack of power in the upper echelons for a long time. Back then, he and Daoist Feng were also at the bottom of the court. Their words did not carry much weight.
Ever since he was removed from the position of Xuan Head Guardian and took up the post of Xuan Head Guardian, he was worried that Daoist Feng would encounter the same situation as him.
This kind of uneasiness reached its peak after Shangchen was destroyed. In his opinion, Xuan Fa was supported by the Xuanting in order to deal with internal and external pressure. Now that they had lost a great enemy, would the court change their attitude?
Fortunately, Zhang Yu took up the position of Xuan Head Guardian again. With such a Daoist cultivator in the court, Xuanxiu had someone to rely on.
After he walked around the hall a few times, he found Daoist Feng with the Xuntian Dao Zhang and said, "Daoist Feng, Daoist Zhang has been promoted to Xuan Head Guardian. It is our generation's fortune."
Daoist Feng said, "Daoist Gao, Daoist Zhang had a chat with me just now. I feel that I should also talk to you."
"Oh?"
Solemnly, Gao Mo couldn't help but become a little more serious. No matter what, since Zhang Yu established the Xuntian Dao Zhang and took up the position of Xuan Head Guardian, he had already regarded Zhang Yu as the guide of Xuan Fa. He naturally attached great importance to Zhang Yu's words.
Daoist Feng repeated the conversation he had with Zhang Yu to Gao Mo and said, "I feel that Daoist Zhang's words are reasonable. If we only seek Xuan Fa itself, then it is too narrow-minded. We will also limit ourselves. That way, Xuan Fa will walk on a path similar to Xuan Fa sooner or later. However, if we look at the outside world, Xuan Fa will not be limited to a corner. Those Xuan Fa will expand instead."
Gao Mo listened and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Daoist Zhang is right. This is the foundation of Xuan Fa's existence. It is us who are short-sighted."
He thought for a while and asked, "Oh right, I wonder who will inherit the Eastern Court Prefecture after Daoist Zhang is promoted to Xuan Fa?"
Daoist Feng said, "Daoist Zhang has recommended Daoist Wan Ming. The matter has been decided."
Gao Mo was immediately relieved. He said with some pity, "If Daoist Shi doesn't like to work outside, otherwise …"
Daoist Feng said, "That's in the past. I've already talked to Daoist Shi just now. Coincidentally, there's a place to guard outside that can be moved. I'll try to recommend Daoist Shi to guard it in the next court meeting."
Gao Mo's heart moved. He said, "Daoist Zhang …"
Daoist Feng shook his head and said, "I did not tell Daoist Zhang. He has just become Xuan Fa's Xuan Fa. I will be the one to bring up this matter."
Gao Mo thought for a while and nodded.
On the other side, after the court meeting ended, Daoist Ming Zhou went to Daoist Wan Ming's residence and officially announced to him that he would be the Head of Xuan Fa of the Eastern Court.
After Daoist Wan Ming received the imperial edict, he learned that the succession would be in the middle of the second month of the next year. There were still two months to go. There was still plenty of time.
He thought for a while and came out of the residence. In a flash, he came to Shouzheng Palace.
There was already a Deity waiting there. When he saw him, he bowed and said, "Wan Ming, Xuan Zun. Xuan Fa said that if Xuan Zun comes, you can go in and see him."
Daoist Wan Ming thanked him and walked in. When he reached the hall, he saw Zhang Yu standing on the jade platform. He came up and bowed, "Greetings, Xuan Fa."
Zhang Yu returned the bow and extended his hand. He said, "Daoist Daoist, please."
Daoist Wan Ming bowed again and sat on the guest seat. He said, "Thank you for recommending me, Xuan Fa."
Zhang Yu said, "I recommend you this time because you are a suitable successor. You can maintain the situation in the Eastern Court."
Daoist Wan Ming's expression became more serious. He said, "May I ask, Xuan Fa, what do I need to do in the Eastern Court?"
Zhang Yu flicked his sleeve, and a jade slip floated over from the table. He said, "I've already listed all the matters within the Eastern Court Prefecture. However, the Eastern Court isn't simple. There are many secrets hidden within it, so you'll have to be careful."
Daoist Wan Ming took the jade slip. Solemnly, he said, "Wan Ming will remember."
Zhang Yu said, "After the fall of Shangchen, there are still some scattered remnants in the outer layer. However, there will be fewer attacks on the inner layer in the future. What you need to guard against now is the inner layer.
Similar to Qingyang, there are many creations in the Eastern Court. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If used well, it can be beneficial to people. I only hope that you can control it well. "
Daoist Wan Ming nodded solemnly.
Although he was hostile to creations, at that time, the creations were indeed harboring evil intentions. However, in the end, what he could do was limited.
Now that he had become a Mystique Venerable One, his horizons had broadened and he could see more things. He could also tolerate some of the things that he hated deeply in the past. In truth, this was also because his cultivation had improved. Even if there were some problems, he was confident that he could correct them.
Zhang Yu said, "You don't have any magic tools on you, do you?"
Daoist Wan Ming said, "No, I don't."
Sacrificial refining magic tools required the means of sacrificial refining. At the same time, he also needed to exchange mystical grains for precious materials. After he reached the upper layer, he had not had time to make many contributions. Naturally, he did not have the time to do these.
Zhang Yu reached out and took it. A wisp of Qi was drawn over. In an instant, it gathered into a branch in his hand and he sent it to Wan Ming Du.
He said, "I left a Yi Tree in the Xuanfu of the Eastern Court. Cultivating under this tree will benefit you a lot. As long as you hold this branch, you can control the Yi Tree to help you in battle. Keep it well. "
Daoist Wan Ming got up from his seat. Solemnly, he took it and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Ting Zhi."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I hope you have a smooth journey."
After the two of them finished their conversation, Daoist Wan Ming took his leave. After Zhang Yu sent him off, he stood on the stairs and looked at the clear sky above the sea of clouds. After participating in the court meeting, he was considered to have officially taken over the authority of the court. Now that he came down, it was time for him to take over the duties that he was responsible for.
However, before that, he was going to send his divine Qi doppelganger to patrol the internal and external continents. After he had a detailed look and understood everything, he would come back and make arrangements.
After thinking about it, he turned and walked to the side hall. He saw Miao Dan Lord was still sleeping there. There was a layer of floating golden light around his body like a cocoon.
This little leopard cat had been sleeping for several years. Originally, it did not need to sleep for so long. However, the Qi of the upper layer had been continuously nourishing it.
If there were no disturbances, it could continue sleeping until it was fully grown and would only wake up. However, by that time, it might be thousands of years later. This also meant that it would become extremely adapted to the upper layer. Once it left this place and went to other places, it might be harmful to itself.
Therefore, he decided to wake it up this time and bring this little leopard cat to patrol the various continents.
He reached out and pressed gently, "Miao Dan Lord, you've been sleeping for a long time. It's time to wake up."
Miao Dan Lord's body trembled slightly. Its ears twitched, and it wiped its face with its small paws. Then, it lifted its tail and got up.
Its body looked a little bigger than before. It jumped down from the table and walked on all fours. After a few steps, it circled around him a few times and let out a few meows.
Zhang Yu nodded at it.
Miao Dan Lord looked at him and turned to look outside. Suddenly, he ran out. Like a golden stream of light, he came out of the hall and went to the platform outside.
Here, Zhang Yu's divine Qi doppelganger was waiting for him. He turned around and flew to a flying boat behind him. Miao Dan Lord jumped on the boat and followed him.
After a while, the flying boat turned into a golden light and flew away from the sea of clouds.
