After this breakthrough attempt, the Divination Headquarters had been waiting for the results. They had already prepared themselves for another failure.
However, what puzzled the higher-ups of the Divination Headquarters was that Xuanting had promised to inform them and allow them to record the results. However, many days had passed since then, yet they still had not received an accurate answer. As a result, they had sent several letters of inquiry, but they had only received a reply of "for now."
This reply left many people puzzled. At the same time, it also caused the Divination Headquarters to begin to speculate, causing some people to make more associations.
In the following days, even more news regarding the results of this matter began to circulate. Some of them said that many people in the Divination Headquarters were excited, but they were also dissatisfied.
One day, during lunch, Yu Dajiang said to Long Daisen, who was just about to pick up a piece of meat dipped in sauce, "Brother Long, have you heard the latest news? Perhaps the breakthrough attempt this time has succeeded. "
Long Daisen placed the piece of meat in his mouth, savoring the tender texture and delicious sauce. He slowly chewed and swallowed, then put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and said, "I've heard, but the possibility is not high."
Although he also hoped that this attempt would succeed, there was basically no difference between this attempt and the last one. After all, there was not much of a breakthrough in terms of skill, nor was there much improvement. At most, he had only changed his spiritual energy. He did not hold much hope for this.
In truth, most of the master craftsmen in the Tenki-in Hall were aware of this point. Otherwise, the opposition from last time would have been even more intense and would not have been so easily appeased.
He shook his head, picked up the jade chopsticks, and was about to pick up another piece of meat.
Yu Dajiang looked at him for a moment and said, "What if last time it succeeded?"
"What?"
Long Daisen was startled, and his movements involuntarily paused.
Yu Dajiang said in a low voice, "I'm saying, what if last time's breakthrough attempt … had already succeeded?"
Long Daisen was stunned for a long time, and a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes as he said, "How, how is this possible? Last time, last time was … "He could not continue because EsGod's spirituality had been sent into the shell of creation last time. In the end, it was captured and brought to Xuanting, and there was no result until now.
"I'm just making a hypothesis," Yu Dajiang said, lowering his voice. "What if the last time was the most likely to succeed, but some people in Xuanting did not want to see such a thing happen and predicted it in advance, so they interfered and used EsGod to cut off this matter. Wouldn't this matter be covered up?"
Long Daisen raised his head and said, "But that's impossible. Besides, it's very easy for Xuanting to stop us. They just don't want us to try. Why would they do such a thing? Wasn't this an unnecessary move? Furthermore, Xuanting still allowed us to try after last time. It's clear that they don't have such thoughts. "
However, Yu Dajiang shook his head and said, "But Brother Long, you should know that our understanding of the upper echelons is still limited. Every attempt to break through the upper echelons requires ample preparation and a certain amount of luck. Sometimes, it only requires one coincidence, and it might not be repeated every time. Therefore, it's fine as long as we destroy the one most likely to succeed.
Furthermore, Xuanting still has powerful people supporting us, and it's not good for them to stop us directly. Therefore, they can only use some roundabout methods. "
Speaking up to this point, his tone became more and more certain. "Therefore, it might be that our attempt to break through this time was lucky and was close to success again, but someone wanted to use the same trick again and abandoned it. The few people supporting us were already on guard, so they did not let that person succeed. However, since the thing was requisitioned by the upper echelons, they still have an excuse to keep it. Now that the upper echelons have different opinions, this matter is in a deadlock."
Long Daisen felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. Perhaps the upper echelons really wanted to deal with EsGod this time and did not beat around the bush.
However, to the upper echelons of Xuanting, the Tenki-in Hall was always filled with all kinds of opinions that were biased toward power struggles. Yu Dajiang was one of the people who supported this view, so it was not surprising that he came to such a conclusion.
He deliberated over his words and said, "Brother Yu, I don't think that's the case."
Yu Dajiang sneered and said, "Then why haven't the upper echelons brought the records over and told us the results? Brother Long, can you give a suitable explanation?"
Seeing that he was so insistent, Long Daisen did not know what to say and could only say, "Brother Yu, even if that's the case, we can't change anything."
Yu Dajiang let out a long sigh and said slowly, "We can't do anything now, but with power, we can change it! This power is something that we have to fight for ourselves. "He reached out his hand and placed the entire plate of meat in front of him. With an agitated tone, he said," If we cower and don't take it, are we going to rely on others to give it to us? "
Long Daisen's hand stopped in midair. After a moment of hesitation, he helplessly retracted it and could only pick up other dishes.
In the middle of the eighth month, the sound of bells rang out above the sea of clouds. The various court enforcers came out from their respective palaces and sat down on the river of light.
The main topic of discussion was the Mochi God Race. Now, all kinds of signs showed that this ancient god was trying to return. In particular, the spiritual prophecies were very active, so the recent court discussions mainly revolved around this matter.
When the discussion was more or less settled, Lin Tingzhi opened his mouth and said, "Previously, Zhang Tingzhi and I borrowed the Tenki-in Hall's body of creation to capture mystical beings. However, this time, we inadvertently caused this body of creation to cross the threshold of the upper level. How should we end this thing? Therefore, I would like to ask for your opinion. "
Chong Tingzhi said, "Lin Tingzhi, this was originally requisitioned from the Tenki-in Hall. Since it's useless to me, why not return it to the Tenki-in Hall? Perhaps it can even help with creation."
Lin Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's not a bad idea."
Daoist Yu Su said, "This thing was once tainted by the EsGod and also had an image in it. I think it's better to destroy it to prevent future troubles."
Chong Tingzhi first looked at Chao Huan cautiously and then said, "Court Enforcer Yu Su, why do you have to give up eating for fear of choking? Besides, Lin Tingzhi has already removed the image, so why do you have to worry about it? "
Lin Tingzhi said, "Court Enforcer Yu Su's words are reasonable." He thought for a moment and then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, what do you think?"
The court enforcers also thought that this matter was handled by Lin Tingzhi and Zhang Yu together. Zhang Yu was the one who first suggested it. Moreover, he was one of the few cultivators in the court who had obtained excellent results. Therefore, his opinion was indeed needed.
Zhang Yu said, "I think it's possible to return it, but there's another suggestion."
Lin Tingzhi's expression turned serious and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, please speak."
Zhang Yu said, "Now that the Turbid Tide is frequent and the EsGod is waiting for an opportunity to make a move, this creation's shell does not have a divine master and can be easily taken advantage of. Therefore, even if it's sent to the Tenki-in Hall, we still need to send cultivators to monitor it. From now on, whether it's trying to control it or observing it on a daily basis, we have to report it to Xuanting in advance and only use it with permission."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Moreover, before Tianji's creation can truly break through the upper limit, this matter is not to be wantonly publicized."
Wei Tingzhi said, "I agree with Zhang Tingzhi's opinion. Tianji's creation still has many flaws. It's not a good thing to publicize it at this time."
Daoist Feng also said, "Everyone, the human heart is lazy. If one knows that one can obtain excellent results just by using the creation, then why would one need to cultivate diligently? This is detrimental to the overall situation of Tianxia. "
Their words caused many court enforcers to nod their heads. They felt that these words were reasonable. This was because the higher the level of creation, the more difficult it would be. Even if one broke through to the upper level, it was not the end. One could not use creation to solve everything.
Above them, there were existences of higher realms. There was also the great Dao before them. Daoist cultivators needed to guide the people of Tianxia forward, and Tianji's creation could not bear this responsibility yet.
Other than this, there was a more practical problem. Tianxia had to face all kinds of strong enemies. It was unknown how long it would take for Tianji's creation to push their strength to their level. Therefore, it was impossible to let them completely occupy the lower level.
Chen Tingzhi said, "This creation's shell can be returned to the Tianji Headquarters, but this matter cannot be publicized."
Zhong Tingzhi did not refute this. If the breakthrough this time was caused by the Tenki-in Hall, he could still say it with confidence. However, this was just an accidental breakthrough by relying on EsGod's power. This was not worth mentioning. As long as it could be returned, he would have achieved the result he wanted.
Because the Tingzhi did not have any objections, the Tingzhi Headquarters quickly passed this proposal.
In a certain Xuanfu camp in the Eastern Court forest, a civil official who had once been a teacher in a certain academy in the Eastern Court was currently teaching Yao Li all kinds of knowledge and etiquette about Tianxia.
After the lesson ended, he walked out and praised Zhao Rou, "Daoist Zhao's disciple is very intelligent. She can understand everything with just a little bit."
Zhao Rou said, "Thank you, teacher."
The civil official smiled and said, "I'm not tired at all. A student like her can be taught well by anyone else. It's my honor to be able to teach such a student."
After Zhao Rou sent the civil official away, she frowned slightly.
She knew that this disciple could learn many things with just a little bit of teaching, but that was only the beginning. What she wanted was to immerse herself in her body and mind. Only then could she better integrate into Tianxia.
She realized that she couldn't do that in this encampment. However, she was punished to be here and could not leave. It seemed that she had delayed her own disciple.
At this moment, Yao Li walked over. Raising her head, she looked at her and said, "Did Yao Li do something wrong that made teacher unhappy?"
Zhao Rou patted her and said, "Disciple, you've learned very well. Teacher is very pleased. However, this place is too small, and you can't learn much. Disciple, are you willing to go to the Eastern Court?"
Yao Li thought for a moment and replied seriously, "If teacher wants Yao Li to go, Yao Li will go there."
Zhao Rou smiled and said, "Okay, teacher will definitely arrange it for you. I'll send you to the Eastern Court in a few days."
