Northern Vault of Heaven, Void Mansion.
Daoist Zhengqing was observing the void on top of the Heavenly City Palace. Beside him was a spirited Daoist child.
Although Shang Chentian and You Cheng had left the Void, the Evil God still existed. Moreover, under the fluctuations of the Turbid Tide some time ago, he also felt that something seemed to be stirring.
In the past, the Turbid Tide only affected the inner layer. However, from the looks of it now, it was very likely to affect the changes in the depths of the void. If the Turbid Tide continued to act strangely, then this feeling should be even clearer.
At this moment, a light flickered behind him. Cen Chuan's Primordial Spirit appeared. He bowed behind him and said, "Senior Brother."
The Daoist child turned around and bowed to him, "Senior Uncle Cen."
Daoist Zhengqing looked ahead. With his back facing him, he said, "The place you are guarding is Chang He. Why are you here?"
Cen Chuan said, "I heard Zhong Weiwu and the others say that after Shangchen was destroyed, they calculated that Xuanxiu's fate was flourishing. Senior Brother, didn't you say that you wanted to discuss the Dao with Zhang Tingzhi? Therefore, I wanted to ask Senior Brother, when did Senior Brother discuss the Dao with him? "
After a while, Daoist Zhengqing said, "It's not the time."
Cen Chuan tried to ask, "Is it because of that stage?"
Although he was not the one who plucked the fruits of the coexistence of the real and the void, he was still vaguely aware of some things.
After a cultivator reached this realm, there would be a stage that they had to pass. If they could not pass it, then the result would not be good. Therefore, some Xuan Zun who knew the key points would rather stick to their original cultivation than pluck the fruits of the Dao.
However, he was not too clear about the specific situation. This was because there was always a layer of mystery that prevented him from prying into it. Furthermore, he knew that if he did not reach this realm, it would only be disadvantageous to him if he tried to figure it out.
Daoist Zhengqing replied, "It is related to this."
Cen Chuan lowered his head and thought for a while. He said, "That's right. If this person can't pass this stage, there's no need for Senior Brother to discuss the Dao with him."
Daoist Zhengqing said plainly, "I'm not hoping that he won't be able to pass that stage. Instead, I'm hoping that he will be able to pass it. The changes in the world have yet to come to an end. Tianxia will only be able to hold on if there are more Daoists.
Moreover, even though I believe that we need to suppress the Profound Arts, I have never thought that the True Arts and the Profound Arts are mortal enemies. Instead, the True Arts should be the primary and the Profound Arts should be the secondary. "
At this moment, the Daoist child suddenly asked, "Teacher, why is the True Technique ranked above the Mysterious Technique? Why can't it be above the Profound Art and below the True Art? "
Cen Chuan glanced at him. This new disciple of his Senior Brother seemed to be very bold, but he liked this kind of temperament where he said whatever he wanted to say.
Daoist Zhengqing said, "There are many reasons behind this. I'll just talk about a simple one. It's easy to enter Dao using the Xuan Method, but difficult to achieve Dao using the True Method. If you were given two methods, which one would you choose?"
The Daoist child said arrogantly, "I'll naturally choose the difficult one and the good one."
Daoist Zhengqing said plainly, "You're the only disciple under me. You can choose the Difficult Method, but can everyone choose the Difficult Method?
The Daoist child thought for a moment and said loudly, "No!"
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Most people will only avoid the Difficult Method and choose the Easy Method. Even if it's someone with good potential, if they have a choice, why would they choose the Difficult Method and not the Easy Method? After a long time, the True Method will only become fewer and fewer. "
Cen Chuan said solemnly, "Senior Brother is right. If the Xuan Method is placed above the True Method, then the True Method will become the Inferior Method. Since it's inferior and difficult, it will become more and more difficult to pass it down. As such, the more difficult it is, it will inevitably sink. Sooner or later, the True Method will reach the stage where no one can cultivate it."
The Daoist child was puzzled, "But according to what Teacher and Uncle-Master said, since the Xuan Method is also a Dao Method and is so easy to cultivate, then there will be more and more people entering Dao? Isn't this a good thing? "
Daoist Zhengqing said, "The True Method has evolved since the Desolate Era and has gone through countless years. Its veins are clear and the Dao is clear. There are even Higher Methods that can be used to climb up. The Xuan Method is an unfinished Method. In the past, the Xuan Method was only a small Dao. No one has ever been able to climb up to the Great Realm. At present, it is not enough to replace the True Method to carry everything. "
Cen Chuan said, "In fact, there are people who can reach the Upper Level of the Xuan Method. However, his achievement alone may not be the achievement of all Daos. Moreover, it is unknown how many years later. If we don't maintain the True Method now, then by that time, the True Method can only be found in the pile of old papers. This is very disadvantageous for Tianxia!"
The Daoist child understood very quickly. However, he was still doubtful. This was because he felt that if he could understand this problem, then the Xuan Zun and the Court Enforcers would definitely know as well. Why would they turn a blind eye to this? There must be a reason. Therefore, he asked, "Teacher said that this is still the Simple Method. Then what is the Complicated Method?"
Daoist Zhengqing did not speak. Obviously, this was not something the Daoist child could understand.
Cen Chuan said, "Apprentice-Nephew, cultivate well. You will understand." He raised his head and said, "Apprentice-Brother, did you see that letter from the Ministry of Works?" “
Daoist Zhengqing said, "I saw it."
Cen Chuan said, "Looking at the current situation, Xuanxiu is a threat to the True Method. However, the Creation Method is not to be underestimated. In recent years, the Creation Method has indeed become more and more prosperous.
If my Changhe Prefecture wants to expand outwards, it is not enough to only rely on Daoist cultivators. We have no choice but to borrow the power of the Creation Method. These are indeed useful. However, the letter now wants us Daoist cultivators to focus on cultivation and entrust the Lower Level to the Creation Method. This has sinister intentions.
The battle for True Xuan is a battle between Daoist cultivators. However, the Creation Method clearly wants to replace us Daoist cultivators. At present, they do not have the power of the Upper Level. If they did, how terrible would it be? "
Daoist Zhengqing said calmly, "This generation is currently striving for the Upper Level. Naturally, they will want to obtain more."
Anything that is on the rise will instinctively strive for things that can be seen or not. The people in this situation will also have a confidence that they can achieve everything. In the past, Daoist cultivators were also like this. It is not strange for the Creation Method to behave this way.
Cen Chuan said, "If it is only like this, it will be fine. The Creation Method seems to have Zhong Weiwu and the other two supporting them. If we do not suppress their arrogance now, I am afraid that once this generation gains something, it will be difficult to control them."
Daoist Zhengqing said, "They want to use the Creation Method to suppress the Xuan Method. After all, the Xuan Method is a Daoist cultivation method. Once the Creation Method gains momentum, it will endanger the foundation. I will write a letter later and let them carefully consider this matter."
Cen Chuan thought about it. Right now, the two of them were both Guardians. They could not participate in the decision-making of the Upper Level. There were not many methods that they could use, so they could only write a letter. This was not to pressure the Xuanting, but to let Zhong Tingzhi and the other two understand their attitude. As long as there was no support from the Upper Level, the Creation Method could not rely on themselves to advance.
Because Wei Shan's letter was allowed to be passed to the inner layer, the Xuan Heads of the various continents also saw it. Some people were cautious and did not speak after reading it. Some people did not hold back and expressed their opinions. For example, the Xuan Head of the Yi Luo Continent, Gao Mo, used his pen to criticize the letter on the spot.
The majority of people held the same view as him. This was because most of the Xuan Zun who could come out to handle secular affairs could be considered to be part of the Secular Sect. How could they agree with the words of seclusion?
Moreover, since Tianxia supported the Xuan Method to become strong and prosperous, and this time when they won the battle with Shangchen, it undoubtedly proved that Xuanting's previous strategy was correct. Now, Wei Shan actually wanted to separate the Daoist cultivators. This was going to backtrack.
There were also some who, like Cen Chuan, believed that the Creation Method did not have the right to dictate what the Daoist cultivators should do.
This letter was not only circulated among the Xuan Heads of the various continents, but also received into the Xuntian Dao Zhang. Although the Daoist cultivators below could not see it, it was not difficult for the Xuan Zun who paid attention here to see it.
In the void, a warning star was drifting here.
Gan Bai sat on a high platform with a thick soft satin cushion below. There was a short table around him with a large cup of fragrant tea on top of it. Beside his hand was a pill that had been refined into the shape of fried beans. His Primordial Spirit was responsible for guarding the outside world while he focused on the Xuntian Dao Zhang. From time to time, a pill would float by on its own and be swallowed by him.
At this moment, he also saw Wei Shan's letter and could not help but snort.
He was also a person who had been the head of the mystery department and had also come into contact with creation. Naturally, there were many things that he could see very clearly. This letter had placed creation on a pedestal too high, as if creation could continue to develop without any hindrance.
However, he did not know that the Daoist cultivators had accumulated the wisdom of countless predecessors over countless years to reach the current prosperity. The Creation Method followed by climbing up. Without the guidance and assistance of the Daoist cultivators, how could it reach the present situation in just a short hundred years? It was futile to think that everything in the world could be solved without relying on the Daoist cultivators.
He snorted twice and was about to think of a way to criticize at the back, but he realized that he could not do so.
This was because he was now in a state of semi-exile and did not have a title. Before the end of his guard period, he was not qualified to criticize the proposal of the higher-ups, not even a letter of submission.
His little face was immediately filled with displeasure. He could only resentfully turn to the Xuntian Dao Zhang to find a target elsewhere.
A few days later, in the Miaohao Daoist Palace.
Zhong Tingzhi said to the figure in the jade wall, "Brother Chong, have you read the letter from the Zhengqing Daoist?"
Chong Tingzhi said, "I've already read it. However, the rise of the Creation Method is irresistible. We can't turn around and suppress it."
Zhong Tingzhi said, "His words should also be taken seriously."
Chong Tingzhi said, "If the Zhengqing Daoist and Cen Cen want to return to the court, it will take at least fifty to sixty years. During this time, what can we rely on to suppress the Xuan Fa? It's nothing more than the Creation Method. If we don't have the will, how can we fight against the Xuan Fa? I think Wei Shan's letter is very good. Since the Xuanting Daoist gave Wei Shan the right to submit the letter, it's for him to speak. As for whether to accept it or not, haven't all the court officials made their judgment? Why do we have to pursue it? "
Zhong Tingzhi said, "Fifty to sixty years is just a short moment. When the time comes, if the Zhengqing Daoist lineage can return to the court, they will be an important ally of ours. However, in these fifty to sixty years, can the Creation Method be used? Before this, the Creation Method has already faced many setbacks. "
Chong Tingzhi said, "That was because the higher-ups rarely supported us in the past. However, it's different now. Brother Zhangsun and I have worked together to calculate. We see that the Creation Method has a long destiny. In the next few decades, it will have the opportunity to rise. Why should we obstruct it?"
Zhong Tingzhi pondered for a moment, as if he was also calculating. After a while, he said, "Fine. Since both of you think so highly of the Creation Method, I'm willing to wait and see if the Creation Method can help me."
