On the upper level of the vault of heaven, Zhang Yu was explaining matters to Liang Yi and Jin Zhixing. He suddenly felt something and looked towards the inner layer. After a while, he heard the sound of bells ringing outside. He knew that the court was gathering the court executives for a meeting.
Right now, it wasn't the middle of the moon. He guessed that Xuan Ting had suddenly summoned them because of the change in the heavens. He didn't move, but a shadow had already appeared, following the guidance of Ting Zhi's jade seal. In an instant, he landed in the discussion hall.
Streaks of light flashed within the hall as the clones of the other court enforcers arrived one after another. When the head daoist appeared, all the court enforcers bowed towards the head daoist and said, "Greetings head daoist."
The Daoist at the head seat returned the greeting and said, "I called all court executives here because of the change in the turbid tide."
All the court executives had solemn expressions. Although the change in the turbid tide was fleeting and almost undetectable, any change related to the turbid tide was not a small matter. It could not be ignored.
Lin Tingzhi asked at this time, "Zhong Tingzhi, do you have any clues?"
Zhong Tingzhi said, "When I came here just now, Chong Tingzhi, Zhangsun Tingzhi, and I worked together to calculate, but we could not find anything. This change seemed to have come without a reason. However, there are only two possibilities. The first is that it was a recent change. "
He paused, "This might be caused by the aftermath of the battle between me and Shangchen."
All the court executives pondered. The previous attack on Shangchen was from the upper level. Generally speaking, passing through the upper level would not cause a change in the turbid tide. At least, such a thing had never happened before.
However, before this, there had never been such a large-scale confrontation that involved so many Xuan Zun, not to mention the use of several Dao Guarding Treasures. Moreover, such a change in the turbid tide only happened after this battle. Therefore, it was difficult to say whether it was affected by this.
Dai Tingzhi asked, "What's the other possibility?"
Zhong Tingzhi said, "There's another possibility. It's not a recent cause, but a natural change of the Turbid Tide. It's just a coincidence that it happened today."
Chong Tingzhi continued, "According to past inferences, every era would experience a change in the Turbid Tide. When I, Tianxia, arrived, it happened to be the sixth time. Although the changes in the Turbid Tide were different in length, they lasted for roughly the same amount of time. However, after I, Tianxia, entered the world, things changed.
In the past, every time the Turbid Tide passed, the previous ruler of the world would be destroyed, and a new ruler would be born. The cycle would continue endlessly.
After I, Tianxia, crossed over to this world, although I was attacked by the Turbid Tide, I did not perish. Therefore, in the future, if the Turbid Tide does not fall silent and wait for the next opportunity, then it may rise again and again to kill me. If it is the latter, then it is very likely that there will be frequent changes. What happened just now may be the precursor of changes. "
Zhang Yu listened from the side. After reading the golden book, he also understood that Xuanting had actually been searching for a way to completely deal with the Turbid Tide in the past.
After observing and calculating, he discovered that the Turbid Tide rose and fell like a tide. After it subsided, it would definitely come again. Therefore, at this moment, the Turbid Tide had not disappeared, but was at its lowest.
However, the Turbid Tide in the past had a pattern that could be found. However, after Tianxia survived the Turbid Tide, this might not be the case. The result might be as Chong Tingzhi had said. In the past, this was only one of many inferences. However, now it seemed that the Turbid Tide was very likely to change in this direction.
Xuanting had tried to stop the Turbid Tide, but later on, he discovered that the Turbid Tide was like a stream of water. It was better to disperse it than to block it. Forcefully suppressing it might instead cause an even greater disaster. On the contrary, it was relatively easy to deal with the scattered Turbid Tide.
Lin Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether the Turbid Tide comes again, we have to deal with it properly."
Wei Tingzhi said, "Last time, I made many mistakes in dealing with the Turbid Tide. That was because I did not understand the situation well. There was also the pressure of Shangchen. You City left me, causing my forces to suffer a great loss. Coupled with the various unforeseen events in the inner layer, it took me decades to calm down. Now that Shangchen has fallen, there are almost no threats in the outer layer. If we only deal with the inner layer, with my strength, Tianxia, it won't be difficult."
Zhu Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "According to the past cycles of the Turbid Tide, the changes in the Turbid Tide are caused by changes in both the inner and outer layers. Usually, after the internal chaos, there will be no enemies invading from the outside.
Looking at the past, regardless of whether it is the EsGods or the Gods, they are not natives. They all come from the outer layer. Although there seems to be nothing in the outer layer other than the Evil Gods, it is hard to say if they will fall into our hands from the depths of the void or another world.
Moreover, those rulers who were destroyed in the past might not have completely fallen. Under the changes of the Turbid Tide, they might take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble. "
Zhang Yu said at this moment, "Zhu Tingzhi's words are reasonable. Not to mention the rulers of this world from earlier, just the EsGods and Gods of the previous era have been left behind until now and have troubled me for a long time. It's hard to say if there won't be any ancient foreign species waking up. Previously, the expansion of the court's inner wall was a suitable move, and it just happened to establish an internal defense.
However, if the Turbid Tide rises, we have to pay attention to one thing. The changes in the heavenly secrets mean that the various formations can no longer be used. We have to use other artifacts as replacements. "
The court enforcers nodded. The reason why the Turbid Tide caused so much damage the previous time was because many of the formations used to shield the continents were broken, causing the defensive power to be greatly reduced. They could only rely on a small number of cultivators to protect the huge territory. Due to the limited manpower, they could not take care of everything. Xuanxiu, who was supported previously, also showed a great effect at that time.
Lin Tingzhi said, "Zhang Tingzhi's worries are very good. The previous time, it was under the isolation of the Turbid Tide, and Shangchen took advantage of the separation of You City to suppress me when I was weak. The Clear Sky Qi was unable to spread above the land. This time, I will allow each of the Profound Heads to distribute a wisp of the Clear Sky Qi to be used for defense."
Chong Tingzhi said, "Everyone, I think that we should support Creation."
After saying this, he waited for the court enforcers to look at him before continuing, "Like before, each continent relies on cultivators to defend. Once the cultivators suffer too much damage, they will not be able to protect everything. Moreover, no one knows the strength of the enemy. Naturally, the stronger our strength, the better.
But now, the various continents had armored soldiers and flying boats. They already had the power to resist. If they could get more support, not only would they be able to defend themselves, they would also be able to fight their way out and fend off the enemy outside their territory. I think that this matter cannot be delayed and must be done as soon as possible. If we wait until the end to upgrade, it will be too late. "
Wei Tingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Although Chong Tingzhi's words are reasonable, there is no need to be so radical. If we want to support Creation, we can start with the four major prefectures. After we see the pros and cons, we can plan for the future."
When the court enforcers heard this, they all agreed in their hearts.
The four major prefectures were in charge of expanding outwards. They were originally the protectors of the thirteen continents. Moreover, the four continents were newly established and did not have as many people as the inner continent. Even if there were any mistakes, it would be easy to make up for it.
Lin Tingzhi said, "Wei Tingzhi's words are appropriate."
At this time, Chong Tingzhi did not argue. He knew that supporting Creation involved Xuanting's strategy. There were many variables and it would not be decided so easily.
Today, he took the opportunity to mention that they should fight for as much as they could. Things could be done step by step and they would eventually achieve what they wanted.
After all, if the Turbid Tide really came back, then the threat was real. Supporting Creation would not only protect the people's lives, it would also allow the people below to have a certain amount of resistance. Just this point alone was something that Xuanting would not reject.
At this time, Daoist Yu Su said, "There are pros and cons in every matter. The Turbid Tide's rise is not entirely a bad thing. According to what Yu Su knows, when Shangchen fell, some cultivators outside thought that the situation was settled. However, they began to slack off. This should not be.
Our cultivation is not for the enemy, but for the truth. Our enemies are just obstacles. If they hinder us, we will become lazy. This goes against our original intentions. "
Lin Tingzhi sighed, "This is also because the internal and external conflicts were too heavy. Suddenly facing the enemy, we will suddenly relax. This is human nature. However, if we can adjust ourselves and step out of our difficulties, it is also a form of cultivation. "
As for how the Turbid Tide would change, they could not be completely sure at the moment. They still had to wait and see. After the old imperial court came up with a few countermeasures, the various Tingzhi discussed for a while more before their incarnations dispersed.
After Zhang Yu's incarnation left the meeting hall, he returned to his main body. From this, he understood the various matters. After thinking for a while, he said to Liang Yi and Jin Zhixing in front of him, "Just now, the Turbid Tide's abnormal movements have already alarmed the imperial court. This continent is far from stable. The two of you should be prepared."
When Liang Yi and Jin Zhixing heard this, they both replied with a solemn expression, "We will wait for your orders at any time."
Zhang Yu gave a few more instructions and ordered the two of them to leave.
He thought for a moment. In this way, there were already four Xuan Zun in the Shouzheng Palace to monitor the inside and outside. In the past, this would be enough. However, if the Turbid Tide arrived, just these few people would not be enough. At that time, he might have to think of ways to recruit more Shouzheng.
He called out in his heart and summoned the Great Dao Xuan Chapter. He paid attention to the Xuntian Dao Zhang and realized that in just a short while, many reports had been sent over from the various Shouzheng camps, and the number was still increasing.
It was not difficult to see that the moment the Turbid Tide changed, there were some changes in the various continents. Outside the Jing Qiu Upper Continent, one could see the shadows of a flock of large birds flying past. They were so huge that they could cover the surface of the earth, causing people to be shocked. However, there was nothing in the sky, and they did not sense anything.
In the Yi Yue Upper Continent, on the ancient murals in the mountains, groups of human figures worshipping EsGod suddenly changed their postures and stood up one by one.
Outside the Lu Yang Upper Continent, someone saw a giant foot land on the surface of the sea and step into the sea, as if a giant was migrating. However, when they went over to take a look, it was completely calm.
Outside the Yun Upper Continent, the three mystical creatures of the previous era seemed to have come to life for an instant. There were even more similar things below.
Although these things were trivial and did not cause too much of a consequence, the influence of the Turbid Tide had already appeared inadvertently.
This was especially so for the Yun Upper Continent. These creatures might be the rulers of the previous era, so he was the most vigilant. After thinking for a moment, he decided to make a trip there and personally take a look.
