It was very convenient for Yuandu Xuantu to move around. After Daoist Zhan Kong passed down the order, the disciples of the Yuandu Sect had already gathered in this vast space.
However, not all of the Yuandu Sect's cultivators were here. A portion of them had already been brought to Tianxia by Daoist Zhan Kong.
After a few years, these disciples had already partially integrated into Tianxia. There was no need to call them back now.
Zhang Yu was currently standing on the high platform, looking at the distant scenery with his sleeves behind his back.
Within the Xuantu, the scenery was beautiful and magnificent. Ordinary people could only see this on the surface, but in his eyes, everything within the Xuantu contained a unique mystery. This mystery was the same as the Dao-Guarding Treasure, constantly changing.
The last time he came here, he could only take a hurried glance. Although he saw some things, it was as if he was separated by a thin layer of fog. Now that his cultivation had increased, it was a different feeling. He could already vaguely see the changes of the mystery within.
Moreover, it wasn't difficult for him to discern that the cultivation method of the Yuandu Sect, if one wasn't extremely talented, then one couldn't leave this world. This was because if one stayed here, they would be constantly affected by the operation of the Dao-Guarding Treasure, unknowingly becoming compatible with it.
However, if one was too attached to it, it would be difficult to see the outside world. He believed that once one became too compatible with the Xuantu, then one might not be able to escape.
When he thought about this, he suddenly realized that no matter if it was Master Xun or Daoist Zhan Kong, they all went out to find disciples. It was probably because of this reason.
At this moment, Daoist Zhan Kong walked over and said, "Ting Zhi, all the disciples have been summoned. They are waiting below the platform."
Zhang Yu nodded and turned around to leave. He walked through the three parallel corridors and arrived at the main stage. Then, he looked down.
There were about twenty thousand disciples below. From top to bottom of the Yuandu Sect, regardless of their cultivation, other than some servants, almost all of them were here.
As his gaze fell, the people below also raised their heads to look. Most of them only took a glance, and their expressions became absent-minded, and their breathing became unstable. They only saw the figure of a Daoist shrouded in starlight, and could not see anything else clearly. However, they felt a strong attraction, and they could not avoid looking at it no matter what.
Di Ming, Qi Weiyang, and the others were all knowledgeable. They were all shocked, guessing that this person's level was very likely higher than Daoist Zhan Kong.
And this feeling of attraction appeared in their hearts because those who sought the Dao sought the Dao. Even though the person above them was just standing there, he was showing some sort of Dao. This was the yearning they had, as cultivators of the lower generation, had for cultivators of a higher level.
At this moment, Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, "The Yuandu Sect has already merged into Tianxia. Yuandu cultivators are also cultivators of Tianxia. However, Tianxia cultivators must first understand the rules and etiquette of Tianxia. This time, I order all Daoists to go to Tianxia's Yujing to practice etiquette and culture. Once you understand the various sects, if you don't want to stay there, you may return."
What he said was the strategy that Xuanting had decided on long ago.
Although the Yuandu Sect wasn't as strict as Shangchen and Huanyang school, and didn't treat their disciples as humans, compared to Tianxia, the choices they had were too few. Those with poor aptitudes could only stay at the bottom. This was something they could change if they wanted to, because the only way out here was to cultivate Dao.
However, it was different in Tianxia. Even an ordinary disciple had their uses.
Moreover, Tianxia merged with various sects, and there were many techniques to choose from. Some people didn't necessarily have poor aptitudes, but were just not compatible with the techniques. This gave rise to more possibilities.
Even if they didn't cultivate Dao, they could still walk the path of creation. If they were able to activate a mystical power, they could also live a long life.
Zhang Yu's words had a convincing and comforting power. Even if he didn't use any techniques, the disciples below couldn't help but feel a sense of trust and stability.
After he finished speaking, he asked Zhan Kong, "What do you think of the treatment?"
Zhan Kong said, "It's appropriate to deal with it this way."
Zhang Yu said, "After the treatment, I'll have to trouble you to send everyone to Yujing."
In fact, other than these disciples, there were also Daoist Wang and Qiao Yueqing, the two Xuan Zun cultivators of the Yuandu Sect. However, after what happened that day, Daoist Zhan Kong brought the two of them to Xuanting to ask for forgiveness. Xuanting also gave him face and ordered the two of them to stay in seclusion in the sect.
Since Xuanting had already made a decision, as long as the two of them didn't come out on their own, he wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Daoist Zhan Kong cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Zhan Kong receives the order."
He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. Then, he took out a spell. Along with a mighty golden light, more than twenty thousand cultivators were covered. In just an instant, they were all teleported out.
Although it was teleporting many cultivators at once, even hundreds of millions of disciples couldn't compare to a single Xuan Zun. Therefore, this matter was done very easily.
After Daoist Zhan Kong finished, he asked again, "Tingzhi, there are still two hundred million Tianxia citizens in the sect. How does Xuanting plan to settle them?"
The Yuandu Sect didn't only consist of cultivators. There were also the Tianxia citizens that were brought along when they first migrated here. However, these citizens seemed to have stayed in Yuandu Xuantu for a long time and were too united. The disciples that were selected from them were rarely able to cultivate to the upper realm. Therefore, after Tianxia arrived, the upper realm cultivators of Yuandu went to the Tianxia citizens to find disciples.
Zhang Yu said, "Xuanting will send someone to deal with this matter later. These Tianxia citizens are free to move. If they want to live in Tianxia, they can move. If they don't want to, they can continue to stay here."
If the two hundred million people could be moved out, it would be possible to establish a new prefecture. However, these citizens were all controlled by the Yuandu Sect in the past. It wasn't appropriate to suddenly move them out.
However, this wouldn't be the case in the future. In a while, Yujing would find a way to transfer many administrative officials to take charge of this place and make these citizens understand the rules of Tianxia. Now that Tianxia was flourishing, it was convenient and direct for these citizens to know and understand Tianxia. When the time was right, further arrangements would be made.
Seeing that all the disciples had left, he said, "Guanzhi, it's time for us to go to Yujing."
Daoist Zhan Kong agreed and took out another spell. The golden light fell again and disappeared in an instant. When the two figures appeared again, they were already on an open-air altar outside Yujing City.
At this time, as if sensing their arrival, three auspicious lights fell from the sky. The three Protectors of Yujing, Daoist Yuhang, Deng Jing, and Qiong Ying appeared together. They came forward and bowed, "Greetings, Zhang Tingzhi." Then, they bowed to Daoist Zhan Kong, "Greetings, Guanzhi."
Zhang Yu also bowed and put down his sleeves. He looked at the three of them and said, "I believe the three Protectors know about this matter?"
Daoist Yuhang said, "Xuanting has already issued an edict. We will cooperate with Xuanting and make arrangements for these fellow Daoists."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. In half a month at the latest, we will send these fellow Daoists to the various continents."
Cultivators learned quickly. Things like Tianxia's etiquette, laws, and order were learned in a few days at most. However, how to implement them was another matter. This would take a long time. Therefore, they had to be sent to the various continents.
Although there were more than twenty thousand people, if they were spread out to the various territories of Tianxia, they wouldn't even cause a ripple.
At this moment, more than twenty thousand disciples landed on the floating islands outside of Yujing. Thousands of floating platforms of various sizes easily accommodated them.
It was the first time for many disciples to leave the Mountain Gate of Yuandu. They couldn't help but look around curiously. However, there was one thing that attracted everyone's attention. It was a huge platform that was almost as tall as the sky. It almost covered half of the sky. This was the center of Yujing, the "Yuanshang Platform".
Even cultivators like Di Ming and Qi Weiyang were shocked when they saw this majestic platform that was as tall as the sky. Needless to say, the disciples who spent most of their time in the Mountain Gate of Yuandu were only accompanied by the natural scenery. At this moment, everyone was in awe.
No matter when, a huge structure created by manpower would bring about a more direct impact. Just like this moment. The moment they saw this object, the disciples of Yuandu had a new understanding of Tianxia's strength. They couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and yearning.
However, at this moment, the sun in the sky flickered for a moment. However, it quickly returned to its original state. None of the cultivators present noticed it.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was talking to Yu Hang and the other two, suddenly felt something. He raised his head and took a look. Just a moment ago, he felt the turbid tide that was almost subsiding suddenly fluctuate.
Outside of the Yunshang Continent, in the Cloud Sea.
In the vast underground space, Daoist Chu had been sitting in the cave. At this moment, he raised his head in surprise. At the same time, he frowned. This was because he felt that the three huge mystical creatures in front of him seemed to have moved.
His expression turned serious. After thinking for a while, he stood up and pushed a crystal jade beside him. In an instant, a signal light was sent up.
After doing this, he was still worried. He called a disciple from afar and said, "The situation here is a little strange. Go up and inform the higher-ups. I hope Head Xuan can come and take a look."
That disciple bowed and left.
Not long after, the cave suddenly became bright. He raised his head and saw a Daoist figure that was emitting light appear there.
He knew that this was Xuan Zun's primordial spirit. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Head Xuan."
That Daoist's primordial spirit looked forward and said slowly, "You didn't see wrongly. This object just woke up for a moment."
Daoist Chu was shocked and said, "Head Xuan, didn't you say that this object wouldn't wake up within a thousand years?"
That Daoist's primordial spirit said, "That's because the secrets of heaven didn't change much. However, just now, the secrets of heaven seemed to have changed."
"The secrets of heaven seemed to have changed?"
That Daoist's primordial spirit said calmly, "Since I, Tianxia, entered this world, have there been few changes to the secrets of heaven? Not to mention before me, this world has already experienced six changes. What's so strange about there being more changes? "
Daoist Chu's expression changed slightly, "Head Xuan, are you saying? That there might be more changes? "
That Daoist's primordial spirit said, "It might change or not." He raised his head and looked up, "These are the plans of the officials in the imperial court. You and I just need to take care of our own matters."
