Above the sea of clouds, Zhang Yu's spirit avatar sat in a boat, playing chess with Daoist Feng. Apart from coming out to participate in court meetings every month, his main body usually cultivated in the back hall.
After he placed his piece, Daoist Feng pondered for a long time before placing his piece as well. He said, "Recently, the number of interdimensional layers being explored has gradually increased. My fellow Daoists have an opinion on the interdimensional layer, I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Zhang Yu asked, "Is it the theory of 'all domains being corrupted'?"
Daoist Feng said, "That's the theory."
Zhang Yu nodded, "I've seen it, it does make some sense."
After exploring the interdimensional layer recently, due to another Turbid Tide, many people discovered that the Turbid Tide in the interdimensional layer fluctuated more intensely than the inner layer.
After some of the court enforcers in Xuan Court received the report, they did some investigation and came to a conclusion. The strength of the Turbid Tide was very likely to spread from the middle layer, to the inner layer, and then to the lower layer.
After every Turbid Tide, the Dao mechanism would change and the heaven and earth would expand. This might not be an endless change. Perhaps with the passage of time, the current inner layer would shatter like the interdimensional layer, and the current lower layer would become an existence similar to the inner layer.
Or perhaps, the current inner layer would be the 'lower realm' of the past. The Turbid Tide's influence would also increase the capacity of the mystical powers, thus giving birth to creatures of a higher level.
Daoist Feng said, "According to this theory, if there are creatures in the interdimensional layer, then they must possess the power of a higher level, or perhaps even greater power."
Zhang Yu placed his piece, "Whether it's like this, wait for me to verify it."
Daoist Feng looked at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and placed his piece as well, "Yes, I'll figure it out sooner or later."
Zhang Yu saw that Daoist Feng's move was very brilliant. He pondered for a moment before placing his piece. This time, it was Daoist Feng's turn to ponder. At this moment, he glanced at the lower layer. According to the previous report, tomorrow would be the day when the Tenki-in Hall would attempt to break through the limits of creation again.
Dongting Prefecture, deep in the forest.
"Yao Li, why are you here?"
Zhao Rou had been teaching Yao Li by her side for the past few days. However, Yao Li's behavior had been a little strange recently. She would either come out in the middle of the night to look at the sky alone or sit in a remote corner in a daze.
But every time he talked to her, he found that she was very normal.
This time, when Zhao Rou came out from her meditation, she discovered that Yao Li had disappeared again. After following her aura and finding her way out of the campsite, she discovered that the latter was quietly standing in front of a stone tablet.
She frowned slightly. She remembered that there was no such stone tablet here before. Looking around, there were signs of cleaning. This stone tablet should have been covered by some vines and weeds. There were crooked words on the surface of the tablet.
She slowly walked over, put her hand on Yao Li's shoulder, and gently said, "Yao Li, what are you looking at?"
Yao Li pointed at it and said, "Teacher, I think I can understand what's written on it."
"Oh?"
Zhao Rou was still very concerned about Yao Li's past. Xuanfu had already allowed her to accept disciples. She had also officially accepted Yao Li as her disciple. She also hoped to help her disciple find back the memories that she had forgotten. She said, "What's written on it?"
Yao Li said, "It says that there's something here. The person who obtains it can obtain eternal youth and extraordinary strength."
Zhao Rou said, "Is that so?"
Her tone was very calm. These ancient legends were everywhere among the natives. Perhaps they were very attractive to the natives, but cultivators all had these. It really wasn't anything too special.
She looked at those crooked words on the monument. She thought that Yao Li might have learned these from her elders, or perhaps she had lived in a certain place before. She was thinking if she should collect more of the words here, to see if she could help her disciple recall these better.
She reached out and stroked the bun that she had personally combed for Yao Li, and said, "You've seen it. The night is cold. Your cultivation hasn't reached its peak yet. It's better for you to go back first."
Yao Li obediently nodded her head. When she left, she took another glance at the stone tablet. The densely packed words on it weren't just this little bit. At the bottom, there was a sentence that she felt seemed to be related to her. "The sleepers who awaken from the mountain cave will eventually find their own home."
Within the Heavenly Secret workshop in the Dongting prefecture, master craftsman Wu was currently arranging the tasks for the various workshops. Ever since he had returned and become the principal, the restrictions of the various spiritual mushroom diagrams and techniques no longer existed. As a result, under his supervision, a batch of items that met the prefecture's requirements were created very quickly.
However, because the prefecture required a large number of creations, the workshop had undergone an expansion and was working day and night.
An Xiaolang watched as the Master Craftsmen and Master Craftsmen who were assigned tasks left one by one. He said to Master Craftsman Wu, "Senior, after this batch of creations is completed, what should we do next?"
Master Craftsman Wu looked at him and said gently, "Do you still want to compete with the Tianji Headquarters?"
An Xiaolang hesitated for a moment and said, "I still feel unwilling."
Master Craftsman Wu said, "You're the most talented junior I've ever seen. However, if the Dongting Prefecture wants to compete with the Tianji Headquarters, it's still too far away."
An Xiaolang said, "Then I'll slowly catch up and work hard. If I can't catch up in a year, then I'll work hard for a year. If I can't catch up in ten years, then I'll work hard for ten years. I'm still young. Even if I have to chase for a hundred years, I'll still catch up to them!"
Master Craftsman Wu admired his courage. He sighed and said, "A hundred years. I don't know if I'll be able to see that day again. Now that the Tianji Headquarters is attempting to break through the upper limit of creations, they might be able to do it. We can't compare. Since that's the case, why don't we change our direction? "
An Xiaolang was puzzled. "Change our direction?"
Master Craftsman Wu said, "As long as a person hasn't broken through the limits of mortals, then their strength will always be limited. Since the Tianji Headquarters has their eyes on the top, then we might as well keep our eyes on the bottom. We'll create something useful for the people. While accumulating our skills, we'll also benefit the people. At the same time, we'll be able to create craftsmen who agree with us. When you have enough strength and more people to support you, then you'll be able to realize your ideas. "
An Xiaolang lowered his head and thought for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and said, "This junior will remember senior's words. It was this junior who was too arrogant and insisted on competing with the Tenki-in Hall. I've forgotten my original intentions."
Master Craftsman Wu smiled and said, "Of course you have a competitive heart. At your age, you should be striving hard and maintaining your drive. As long as you don't leap too far, then everything will be fine. I'm a bit older and have fallen many times. The only thing I can do to help you before you fall is to give you a helping hand."
An Xiaolang said, "Senior, just now you said that the Tianji Headquarters is attempting to break through the upper limit of creations. Will they succeed?"
Master Craftsman Wu raised his head and looked up. "I hope they succeed. If the path of creation can be broken through, then it means that creations can also possess the power of the upper level. Although the Tianji Headquarters' direction is different from what I think, if they succeed, then no matter what, it will be an achievement achieved by the creations themselves."
He retracted his gaze and said seriously, "If that's the case, then it means that our 'path' has not reached the end, and we can still continue walking."
At this moment, in the Tianji Headquarters, the various craftsmen were staring at the metal platform in front of them through the glass barrier.
One could see that there was a green liquid flowing down from the thin hollow tubes into the ancient giant's body. However, this process was very difficult and slow, as if the liquid was fighting against a force.
Even if EsGod's life force was already gone, its body still rejected any foreign objects. When EsGod was first found, no dirt or dust could touch it.
Then, the people in the Tenki-in Hall discovered that this body had a high degree of assimilation ability. If any foreign force was not rejected, once it merged with EsGod's body, it would very likely be assimilated and become a part of it.
At this moment, although the light blue Creation Moss had covered EsGod's body, if they did not set up some suitable methods, it would only take a short while for the body to absorb it completely. That would only make their efforts go to waste.
However, EsGod's body was an inanimate object after all, and it would only passively absorb the Creation Moss. Furthermore, there was a limit to it. The green liquid had a strong life force, and this life force was far from enough to restore EsGod's body. However, it could let EsGod's body snatch it first, causing it to temporarily ignore the Creation Moss.
The next step was to take away the Creation Moss and complete the step of separating its spirituality from EsGod's body.
As another ray of light shone down from above, a layer of gray appeared where the Creation Moss came into contact with EsGod. This was also a type of Creation Moss, but it had an extremely strong corrosive effect on things other than moss. This would cause EsGod's body to instinctively reject it.
This way, EsGod's body would treat the Creation Moss that had absorbed its spirituality as the same object and would reject it as well. It was as if EsGod had used its own repulsive ability to remove its own spirituality.
This method could be said to be ingenious. The steps seemed simple, but it was a method that the Heaven's Secrets Department had tried thousands of times and failed many times before they finally came up with.
At this moment, one could see that all the Creation Moss had turned into wisps of light blue gas and separated from the Primordial Giant's corpse. They floated upward like smoke and climbed onto the inner wall of the gelatinous glass cover. At this moment, the glass cover actually trembled slightly, forming layers of water ripples.
After the Creation Moss left, it could be seen that EsGod's corpse had turned into a glass-like humanoid object, and its original appearance could no longer be recognized.
At this moment, Yu Dajiang said, "Brother Long, it's all thanks to your skills that we were able to complete this step. Only the 'Jiyong Jade' that you created could allow the Creation Moss that had absorbed spiritual power to cling onto it."
Long Daisen shook his head and said, "I only contributed a part of it. To complete this, which master craftsman here is lacking? The key is still whether this can be done. If it can be done, then what I did will be meaningful. "
He paused for a moment. "Actually, I have some doubts. Not long ago, another Turbid Tide appeared. I don't know if it will affect this."
Yu Dajiang smiled and said, "Brother Long, don't worry. Since we know that there might be a Turbid Tide coming, how can the academy not take precautions? Furthermore, this time, we have two chances. "
"Two chances?" Long Daisen was a little surprised.
Yu Dajiang looked outside and said in a low voice, "This time, we created two bodies to carry spirituality. One is in the Tenki-in Hall, and the other … is in the void."
