In the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, Zhang Yu's spirit avatar sat behind a table and was flipping through the documents that were sent to him from the Shouzheng Palace.
A few days ago, when the Turbid Tide was surging, he also noticed it. As expected, the duration of the Turbid Tide this time was slightly longer than the previous time.
Fortunately, after the previous two changes, each continent was prepared and responded appropriately, suppressing many of the disturbances. Even if there were upper level forces that were triggered, there were a few Xuan Zun that he arranged to suppress them. It was far less influential than the aftermath of the first Turbid Tide.
Now, he was waiting for the investigation report from each interlayer, which might take some time.
A deity on duty walked in from outside and bowed, "Minister, there is a little girl outside, saying that she came to the Shouzheng Palace to worship under the orders of her ancestor."
Zhang Yu knew that this should be the junior that Jiao Yao mentioned. He glanced outside and saw that it was a little girl with bright black eyes and was quite intelligent.
Although Jiao Yao said that her aptitude was not bad, in his opinion, it was actually not bad. However, it was useless to only look at aptitude when it came to cultivation, especially at the upper level. The disciples and juniors of each minister were all extremely talented. Whether they could achieve anything in the future depended on their temperament and luck.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Bring her to the side hall and let her cultivate on her own. If she has any difficulties in cultivation, she can write them down and send them to me."
The deity on duty took the order and left.
At this moment, somewhere in the interlayer, there was a tall sentry tower on top of a hillside at the edge of the continent. Behind the hillside, more than ten flying boats were parked.
Between the flying boats and the foothills, there was a simple but stable huge camp. The camp was constantly expanding and gradually extended up the slope. There were about thousands of people busily walking around.
This was a temporary encampment built by the Wei Clan's army. It was not the same thing to always float in the sky. Moreover, it was very likely that they would encounter the rainbow light that could tear people to pieces in an instant. This piece of land was so intact that it was quite safe to stay here. Next, they would use this as a stronghold to search outside.
Wei Lingying, on the other hand, brought Jin Xiaobai and a few other generals to the top of the sentry tower, gazing into the distance. Jin Xiaobai said, "This place doesn't look any different from the outside world."
Wei Lingying said, "It's said that the Interspatial Layer can be a Spiritual Pass or a Divine Kingdom. However, it's not something that can be explored in a short period of time. It looks like we'll have to prepare to be stationed here for a long time."
Jin Xiaobao tiptoed and pointed to the distance. "Sister Wei, look at the plants over there. Don't they look strange? I was clearly behind that rock just now. Why do I feel like I've moved closer? "
Wei Lingying stared intently for a while before saying with a serious expression, "Little Bai, you're not wrong. It's really moving closer."
Some of the people around them also saw that something was wrong. The entire patch of vegetation on the ground was moving forward, and their movements were uniform. This made people feel a sense of horror.
One of the squad leaders suggested, "General, why don't we throw a Xuan Weapon to test the waters?"
The other squad leaders at the side immediately showed expressions of agreement.
It was not known when it started, but the practice of using Xuan Weapons to solve problems had become prevalent in the army. This practice had also spread to the conscription. However, it was indeed useful. No matter what the opponent was facing, the Xuan Weapons would either be erased or forced to reveal their roots under the explosion.
Wei Lingying immediately rejected, "This is the Interspatial Layer. Don't mess around." It was fine to use Xuan Weapons outside, but in the Interspatial Layer, who knew what would happen? Unless there was no other choice, they would try their best not to use Xuan Weapons.
She said to the Xuanxiu disciple beside her, "Invite Zuo Xuanxiu over to take a look."
At this moment, Daoist Zuo was collecting some mystical plants outside the Interspatial Layer. When he heard of the change, he quickly rushed over from the other side.
After understanding the situation, he stood at the peak of the mountain and watched for a while. With a flick of his hand, a talisman floated out. After circling above the vegetation that had moved over, it turned back into light and returned to his hand.
He identified it slightly and said, "These plants have mystical power, but their Qi is gentle and has no tendency to attack. However, we know too little about this place. General Wei still needs to make preparations first."
Wei Lingying agreed. With a thought, the space between her eyebrows flashed, and in an instant, she turned into a tall metal giant. The armored soldiers around her also put on their outer armor. One by one, they rose into the air and stood in front of them, preparing to deal with any possible attacks.
However, as if sensing their readiness, the vegetation stopped moving and then slowly retreated into the distance. It gave people the feeling that these things had a certain level of intelligence.
Everyone couldn't help but click their tongues in wonder.
Daoist Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, I know that you've been fighting outside for a long time and view everything as an enemy. However, we're here to explore the entire interspatial layer and understand the specific situation here. We're not here to compete with these things. Force is only the final step. As long as these things don't provoke us of their own accord, we can ignore them for now."
He had seen just now that the interspatial layer was very large. Judging from the current situation, they might not be able to explore it completely even after several years. Some of the things they saw now were not seen before, and it was likely that they would see more similar things. How could they deal with them all at once? Thus, they had to be cautious no matter what.
Wei Lingying nodded seriously. "Zuo Xuanxiu is right. Lingying will restrain my subordinates."
Yujing, within the Divination Department. Because it was already March and the deadline for another attempt to break through the mystical boundary was approaching, the department was already making the final preparations.
The ancient EsGod's body had been moved to a sealed underground fortress in the Tenki-in Hall. This place was surrounded by forbidden formations and various mystical barriers.
The entire fortress itself was a massive creation, and it was located outside of a spiritual gate. If necessary, they could use this creation to throw the entire body into the spiritual gate and seal it, thus effectively isolating it from the outside world. This way, they would be able to eliminate all abnormal activities to the greatest extent.
The two master craftsmen, Yu and Long, were walking along the metal corridor of the fortress, discussing the breakthrough attempt as they walked.
Long Daisen said, "Is it really safe to place this ancient EsGod's body here? As far as I know, there should be an even stronger fortress beneath the headquarters. "
Yu Dajiang said, "Don't worry, we've already consulted a few of the wardens about this matter, and they all said that it's safe. Besides, there's something even more important buried at the bottom. If that place is affected or something escapes, it'll be even more troublesome."
At this moment, the two of them had reached the end of the corridor. The door was slowly raised, and they came to the interior of the fortress. About a hundred master craftsmen were busy here under the instructions of the two master craftsmen.
Hundreds and thousands of extremely thin pipes that were shaped like willow branches extended down from above and gathered on the corpse of the ancient deity lying on the metal platform in the middle.
This was the first time Long Daisen had seen this corpse, and he realized that it was somewhat different from the Ipar he had seen before. The contours of the face were harder, and the lines were straight, as if they had been chiseled out by an axe. The eye sockets were deeply sunken, and under the light from the side, only a shadow could be seen, making one suspect that it was a statue.
At this time, the master craftsmen gradually retreated to the outer edge, and a burst of white mist sprayed down from above. After it gradually converged, it condensed into a transparent glass-like barrier, and the hollow branches were able to pass through it and continue to stay on the corpse of the ancient deity.
A huge prismatic crystal eye appeared on the top of the wall, and a ray of light like the sun shone down on the metal platform.
After waiting for a long time, a layer of pale green color slowly emerged on the corpse of the ancient deity, and it slowly spread to the rest of the body.
Back in Dongting, the Spirit Restoration Society had used the skull of an ancient deity to awaken the god, but Tianxia's skill was much better than the Spirit Restoration Society's.
There was no absolute boundary between the body and spiritual power of an upper-level creature that had reached a certain level, so the body itself had spiritual power.
But it was very difficult to extract the spiritual power. The Tenki-in Hall was preparing to plant a kind of Moss of Creation on the body, which would gnaw away at the body that no longer had any divine power. During this process, the remaining spiritual power would remain for a period of time before it was consumed by the moss.
The headquarters would use this gap to transfer the spiritual power into the body of the Creation they had created.
Of course, this was only the general process, and there were many more details to be done. Whether the spiritual power could be finally stimulated would require the supervision of many master craftsmen to be able to successfully complete the task.
At this moment, the body of the ancient deity twitched, as if it was about to sit up.
Many of the master craftsmen's hearts skipped a beat, but they quickly calmed down. Before the attempt, the headquarters had already informed them of anything that might happen, and they had also been informed of this situation. Moreover, this reaction was actually a good thing, because it meant that the spiritual power was being transferred, and the original inherent barrier had been broken.
Long Daisen saw this and asked, "Is the body of the deity ready?"
Yu Dajiang said, "Not only is it ready, but we also prepared two for safety."
"Two?" Long Daisen was surprised, but he soon realized, "You're preparing to …"
Yu Dajiang smiled, "It's better to be prepared."
The Divination Headquarters had also played a trick this time. The higher-ups would only allow them to make one attempt, but could they combine the two attempts into one?
If they didn't succeed the first time, they would immediately try again. As long as they completed it within a certain time, the higher-ups wouldn't hold it against them, regardless of whether they succeeded or not.
While the two of them were watching, more and more master craftsmen arrived one after another. After waiting for about half a day, the ancient deity's body was completely covered by the layer of light blue moss, and only a rough outline could be seen.
At this moment, a master craftsman ran over and whispered a few words into one of the master craftsmen's ears. Yu Dajiang saw this scene, looked at the time dial, and said in a deep voice, "It's about time, let's move on to the next step."
