Zhang Yu originally wanted to settle all the matters at hand before searching for the Tao, but now it seemed that many things had come one after another, especially the threat from the Moqi Celestial Clan. There would be no results for at least a few years.
Since he had already sensed the arrival of the Tao, he had no intention of delaying it until a hundred years later. At that time, there would probably be matters that needed to be resolved. Since there was a gap of a few months, there was no harm in seeking the Tao first.
However, before that, some necessary arrangements had to be made. No matter what the enemy was like, they had to ensure that there were no loopholes or negligence.
In the next few days, he discussed with the various court attendants and issued an official order to mobilize more troops from the various continents to station in the middle layer, replacing the original conscripted troops.
Now was the time when military power was needed. These conscripted troops were not returned to the outer layer, but continued to be sent to the other middle layers to investigate.
Most of the middle layers occupied in the beginning were located on Tianxia's territory. Now that a defensive line had been built in these territories, it was time to expand outwards.
However, just as he said to Lin Tingzhi, under the influence of the turbid tide, every time the turbid tide passed, there would be a change in the middle layer, big or small. In the end, it was impossible to occupy and explore all of the middle layers. They could only send a small number of people to station and investigate as a precaution.
In order to coordinate with this arrangement, Lin Tingzhi sent thirty-two alloy boats. As long as an anchor was set up in each middle layer that could be used to pull the golden boats, they could jump back and forth between the middle layers. This raised the defensive ability of the middle layers to a whole new level.
However, there was a difference in distance between the middle layers. Just like the rivers and lakes that covered the earth, it was easy to cross those that were close, but it would require more jumps to reach those that were slightly further away. If they encountered an attack, they would need to station to be responsible for defending.
However, this was only temporary. The alloy boats were already being repaired. In one or two months, all the middle layers would be equipped with these boats, and the number would increase.
Back then, Divine King Ipar used the power of his clan to build thirteen king boats. Tianxia would not take long to repair them a hundred or a thousand times.
What was worth mentioning was that in the past half a month, they had found three more royal arks while searching the interspatial layers.
But when they looked at it, they realized that it was a level lower than the king boats they had seen before. Apart from that, they also discovered that each king boat had a different ability to cross the sea, and their levels were different.
This indirectly proved that Ipar did not have the ability to build such things in batches. The first discovered royal boat was the best one.
This was a good thing. It meant that even if the Mochi Celestial Race obtained these things and used them in reverse, they would not be able to surpass Tianxia's skills.
However, if the upper echelon forces were to infiltrate the inner layer, the soldiers and ordinary cultivators would not be able to stop them. It would be best to have Xuan Zun or his avatars to guard the inner layer. Therefore, Xuanting had also arranged for the avatars of Xuan Zun to guard the inner layer to guard the inner layer.
After Zhang Yu dealt with these things, he looked at the lower layer. He felt that there was one more thing that he needed to pay attention to, and that was to be on guard against the East Court.
A few days ago, after the discussion in the meeting hall, Zhong Tingzhi told him something at the last minute. He said that he had discovered in his calculations that even after making so many arrangements, the Mochi Celestial Race still had a very obvious opportunity to break through. This opportunity should be on a certain artifact or a certain person, but he did not know the specifics. He hoped that Zhong Tingzhi would pay attention to it.
After thinking about it, he felt that if the Mochi Celestial Race wanted to break through by force, as long as they were willing to pay the price, it was not completely impossible. However, just like entering the inner layer from the outer layer, if there were no cracks, the inner layer would be able to detect it in advance and make preparations.
However, if it was not a person who came, but some kind of divine artifact, it would not be easy to guard against it.
One had to know that there was still a part of the spiritual power of the God Revival Society in the world, and there was also the existence of the EsGod that had been worshipped for a long time. If it merged with the divine artifact, it was hard to say what the consequences would be.
Moreover, there was a prophecy that had not changed until now. The recovery of the divine body and the merging of light and shadow, so the key was not to let this body come into contact with external forces.
Thinking of this, he looked down from the upper layer.
Looking into the Tai Yang Academy in the East Court, the girl named Yao Li looked like a normal student. There was nothing unusual on the surface, but he could see that she did not have any past before she was twelve years old. It was as if she was born suddenly, but there were no traces of natural formation on her body.
The God Revival Society could not do this. Only with the power of the upper layer could this be done. At the same time, he also saw the spiritual power in the depths of her body. It was only suppressed by the forbidden formation of the East Court and the Yi Mu Qi Ji. Coupled with the persistence of the person's consciousness, there was no change in the situation.
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that the Divine Shell was here.
He was confident that he could block the invasion of the external forces, but rather than passively guarding, it was better to try to delay until Zhong Tingzhi's results came out and make a move before the Mochi Celestial Race.
It wasn't impossible to stall for time. The simplest way was to increase the burden on his shoulders.
This method was very useful in a battle of opportunity. Although it could not determine victory or defeat, it could force the opponent to pay a greater price when doing something. It was very useful if used well.
After making up his mind, he changed his mind. A shadow descended and landed in the East Court, then walked into the Tai Yang Academy.
Outside the Junior School of the Tai Yang Academy, a girl said excitedly to Yao Li, "Yao Li, I heard that a teacher came to the academy to teach the Tianxia ancient language and etiquette. Do you want to learn it together?"
Yao Li was puzzled, "The Tianxia ancient language? Didn't we learn it before? "
The girl said, "Aiya, it's not that kind." She hugged the book and gestured, "It's the kind that's even more ancient. The Tianxia language today is the language of the world after many generations of erasure and modification. The ancient language was established by cultivators. Every word contains its own meaning. As long as you learn it, it will be much easier to enter the Dao. "
Yao Li asked curiously, "Is that so?"
The girl said, "Yes." She grabbed Yao Li's hand and shook it, "It's just that there aren't many people who know the Tianxia ancient language now. I heard that this teacher was invited by the Tai Yang Academy from somewhere else. He will only be here to teach for half a month. Good Yao Li, you've always been smart. Come and learn with me. I can ask you if I don't understand in the future."
Yao Li thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go."
Zhang Yu retracted his gaze. His incarnation would be here to teach the Tianxia ancient language for half a year.
Yao Li had her own teacher and was not his disciple. However, as long as he taught her the Tianxia ancient language that was required for cultivators in ancient times, she could be considered his disciple. In this way, there would be a burden between the two of them. If he wanted to use the spiritual prophecy to move Yao Li, then he would have to move the burden that he had suppressed.
This would include even more variables. Even if the spiritual power in the prophecy insisted on pushing forward according to the original path, it would definitely be delayed. This way, he would be able to achieve the goal of delaying.
After dealing with these matters, he calmed his mind and took out the jade book that the head enforcer gave him from his sleeve.
He looked at it. There was no thickness to this item. It could only be seen when one looked at it. It was as if a piece of it was cut out from the world.
At this moment, he had a thought and released his fingers. This jade book suddenly turned and stood in front of him. Furthermore, a door was created from it. He shook his sleeves, stood up, and walked in.
In the depths of the Qing Qiong Boat, the head Daoist was sitting in a cloud of light. He suddenly sensed something and cast a glance at the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. He nodded slightly and retracted his gaze.
After Zhang Yu stepped through the door, he saw countless rays of light extending outwards, rushing towards him. These rays of light were made up of countless rays of light. From a broad perspective, they were scattered and scattered. However, when one looked at them carefully, they were in a strict order.
And when he saw this, those overlapping glimmers that seemed to be extremely orderly rushed towards him together as if they were going to squeeze him out. This power was not illusory but real. Every glimmer would add a bit of power. When the endless rays of light shone over, it naturally had the ability to eliminate everything.
However, he did not avoid it. Instead, he continued to walk forward. Every step he took brought him closer to the glimmering light. Subsequently, they gradually merged together. After they had completely merged, the inside and outside paused for a moment. After which, the light suddenly scattered. He lifted his head and saw a boundless jade wall appear in front of him!
After a short while, he heard a clear sound. Ripples surged on the jade wall and bright spiritual light overflowed. Then, five figures of Daoists that looked like they were outlined by brush and ink slowly emerged.
Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Xuanting Court Enforcer Zhang Yu greets the five enforcers."
Xuan cultivators bowed, Dao cultivators bowed. However, when he saw these few people, he naturally had to bow in the ancient way. However, if he could stand at the top, he could ask the people in the future to change the etiquette.
One of the Daoists spoke first and said in a calm voice, "Zhang Tingzhi used the jade book I gave him to come here today to verify his Dao."
Zhang Yu said, "That's right."
Another Daoist at the side said, "When you reach Zhang Tingzhi's level of cultivation, you can already sense the mysteries of the world and distinguish your true self."
Zhang Yu could feel that the one who spoke at this moment was the enforcer that Daoist Yu Su introduced him to previously. He pondered for a moment and looked up, "Five enforcers, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I don't have such a feeling."
That Daoist said, "Zhang Tingzhi, it's not that you can't sense it. It's just that we used the four Daoist treasures to stabilize the dimensions and isolate the outside world. This made you unable to distinguish. Now that you're here, Zhang Tingzhi, there's no need to hide."
He raised his hand and waved it gently. At this moment, Zhang Yu felt as if a layer of concealment had been removed from the world. Layers upon layers of shadows were cast over, as if countless chaotic mysteries had fallen into his senses. It was as if they wanted to drown him. It was slightly similar to what he had experienced when he came over, causing his body and mind to tremble.
He adjusted his aura and calmed his mind in an instant. However, at the same time, he felt that the figures of the five Daoists were speaking one after another. Words of grand speech were continuously heard, accompanied by the rise and fall of boundless spiritual vigor.
The Daoist in the middle said, "Zhang Tingzhi, since you're here to verify your Dao, I'll naturally tell you. After a cultivator cultivates the creation of reality and illusion, he should cultivate his own Dao. This can be classified as the top, middle, and bottom Dao."
The Daoist on his left said, "The top Dao has always been difficult to obtain. If you pluck it and cultivate diligently, you won't be stained with burdens. Otherwise, karma will be destroyed, biochemical will be extinguished, and chaos will be extinguished. You will be in control of Dao and transcend the world."
The Daoist on his right said, "The middle Dao is second. This Dao skips through time and space and avoids the calamities of the world. It is enlightened and understands the truth. It is not difficult to obtain and does not create self-doubt. However, it follows the waves and moves with the flow. It has no roots and no roots, but it is the top Dao."
Another Daoist said, "The bottom Dao chases and kills the confusion, leaving only the true self. It can observe the changes of the world and pass through the rise and fall of heaven and earth. It's just that I don't kill. Life and death will always be there. The traces of karma will be worn out, and I will eventually die."
The last Daoist said, "These three Dao can be chosen. Once the Dao is formed, although it's not impossible to change, it's hard to predict the calamities. The world is muddy and the spiritual heart is polluted. With the addition of filthy stubbornness, the more it is tainted, the heavier it gets. Very few can get rid of it."
As soon as the long speech ended, there was a sudden silence. Only the grand and distant flow of profound principles was left.
The Daoist in the middle looked at him and said slowly, "Zhang Tingzhi, which Dao do you wish to practice? Do you have a choice?"
Zhang Yu raised his head and bowed. He said loudly, "May the five deacons impart the top Dao to me!"
