Zhang Yu stood on the observation platform for a long time. He kept thinking about the matter of the complete technique. Regardless of the specific situation he encountered, if he wanted to pass down the technique, he had to pass it first.
Dao transforms into mysteries, taking something from nothing. The self that reflects the world is the self with the highest achievement, and this is the greatest opponent. However, since it has become a world, there is more than just this. There is the reflection of self, and also the reflection of the world of myriad transformations.
Then, here comes the question. The five deacons, the grandmaster of Yuandu, and the grandmasters of Huanyang, Shangchen, Shenzhao, You City, and other sects should have already transcended the world. Would they also encounter them?
He faintly felt that he couldn't think too deeply about this matter. Before he truly passed it, it was best not to ask for a clear answer. He believed in his own senses, so he didn't fall into obsession. He simply gave up on this thought.
However, what would the person who was more perfect than himself be like? How would he defeat such a person? Also, what would the situation be like in the world of Dao transformations?
Before he knew the details, he couldn't make a judgment. He could only solve it on the spot. However, it was always right to make some preparations.
These preparations could only be adjusted by his body and mind. Obviously, he couldn't borrow external objects.
Previously, when he heard about the three techniques, the thought of whether he could borrow the treasure of Dao emerged in his mind. However, this was just a thought. If he took the initiative to search for the external self, he wouldn't be able to bring any instrument that didn't belong to him.
However, it was different if he used the "inferior technique" to defend. This was because in his own world, he didn't need to go anywhere else. He occupied an incomparable home-ground advantage and could use various external objects to help himself.
Every time he killed the external self, his strength wouldn't increase. However, he could make up for some of the deficiencies in his own Dao technique. This was much stronger than purely cultivating on his own. Moreover, because it was completely compatible with him, after many times, his Dao technique would be far better than his peers.
However, because the external self would also become stronger and come to find him frequently, if he didn't find a way to climb up, it was very likely that he wouldn't lose the opportunity. Moreover, once he lost the help of external objects, the ending wouldn't be good.
Looking at it this way, he had an incomparably huge advantage.
If he could make me take the initiative to search for him, it seemed like he could take the initiative and make some preparations. However, this was the difference between the Superior and Inferior Methods.
The Upper Self was the one with the highest achievements, so the possibility of going to the Upper Realm was much higher than his.
Therefore, if he did not take the initiative to look for it, it was most likely that it would disappear the moment he made up his mind and was about to put it into action.
In other words, the moment he decided to use the Upper Method, there was no turning back.
At this moment, he finally understood why Guan Chaosheng, Chen Tingzhi, and the others had shown such an attitude back then. This trial was indeed not so easy to pass.
He had no intention of backing down, but he still had to make some preparations.
Although he was confident in himself, he did not know how long he would be gone for. As a court administrator, he had many responsibilities. Before he could seek enlightenment, he had to make some arrangements.
Logically speaking, from the moment I stepped to the other side to slay me, complete my Dao, and then return, it should only take an instant. The passage of time should not exist.
But that was the true technique.
And he was a Xuanxiu. There were many things that were not easy to say. There were no precedents to follow, so he still had to make some arrangements.
With a change of mind, he created an avatar and went to the lower level. Then, he returned to the hall and took a pen and paper to write.
After he finished writing, he suppressed a few of the seals with his Qi and called out Daoist Ming Zhou, instructing him to keep them properly. These were the instructions he left for the few Shouzheng. If he did not return for a long time, Ming Zhou would deliver them to them.
There was also the matter of the Xuntian Dao Zhang. However, he was only the creator of the Dao chapter. He mainly used the Dao seal to activate the Dao mechanism. Previously, when his Dao was still shallow, the Dao chapter was still unstable. Perhaps when he left, the entire Xuntian Dao Zhang would collapse.
But now, as his understanding of Dao seals and Dao techniques deepened, the Dao chapter could still exist even if it was temporarily separated from him. However, it was hard to say how long it would last. Moreover, without him, there was no way to make any changes to its original foundation.
But he believed that with Tianxia's power, if he thought of a way regardless of the cost, he could solve this problem. There was no need for him to worry.
After arranging some trivial matters in the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, he rubbed Lord Miao Danjun who came over and left the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. He took the flying car and went to the depths of the Qing Qiong Boat.
This was the only place where he couldn't directly teleport. After getting off the flying carriage, he landed in front of a flight of stairs with endless loops that made it difficult to see the end.
A gentle voice came from inside, "Since Zhang Tingzhi is here, please come up for a chat."
Zhang Yu stepped on the staircase. Just like before, he first crossed the seemingly endless staircase and then passed through a door that originally had no path. Finally, he arrived in front of a door that seemed to exist but did not exist.
If he still had doubts the last time he came, then he could be sure now. The two places that he passed through before were the two doors that corresponded to the divine Qi's emptiness and the virtual and real coexistence.
And after that, the door in front of him that he could not tell what it looked like was obviously the door that corresponded to the request for the complete Dao technique.
He could not detect it now, but if he came again, he believed that he would be able to see it clearly.
He continued to move forward. Suddenly, the front lit up. The Daoist priest was standing on a staircase waiting for him. He raised his sleeve and bowed, "Greetings, Head Attendant."
The Daoist priest bowed back and said, "Zhang Tingzhi has already met the five attendants?"
Zhang Yu said, "Yes, I have just returned from the five attendants. But as the Head Attendant, I have to explain to the Head Attendant about the request for the complete Dao technique."
He handed over a letter that recorded the matters that needed to be dealt with and paid attention to in the Shouzheng Palace.
The Daoist at the head of the table nodded and took the letter.
Actually, he had seen such a situation more than once. He still remembered that some of his fellow Daoists had bid farewell to him like this before.
Once a Daoist cultivator failed in his quest for the complete Dao technique, he would disappear from the World of Ten Thousand Transformations. It was as if he no longer existed in the world. But as a Daoist cultivator, the traces left behind would not be erased in a short period of time.
After some people left, he could still see them again, but they left in a hurry not long after. And some people never returned after they left.
These were only the ones that he still remembered. There were even more that he could not remember.
He said, "According to the past practice of Xuanting, if a Head Attendant left to seek for the Dao technique, the position of the Head Attendant and the Daoist Palace would still remain there. I only hope that Zhang Tingzhi can successfully seek for the Dao and return safely."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I will be careful." He thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask the Head Attendant. Back then, Zhenren Xun of the Yuandu Sect did not appear. Was it also for the sake of the complete Dao technique?"
The Daoist priest knew that he once had a teacher-student relationship with Xun Ji. He said slowly, "It was related to climbing Dao, but not for that reason."
Zhang Yu nodded. He already had a judgment in his heart. He bowed again and said, "Thank you for telling me, Head Attendant. I will take my leave now."
The Daoist at the head of the table bowed again. After seeing Zhang Yu off, he called out, "Ming Zhou."
With a flash of light, Daoist Ming Zhou appeared at the side. He bowed and said, "Ming Zhou is here. Head Attendant, please give your orders."
The Daoist priest said, "Remember Zhang Tingzhi. If he does not return after a long time, carve his name and past achievements on the Qingqiong Boat."
Daoist Ming Zhou said solemnly, "Ming Zhou will remember."
The Daoist priest looked into the distance. Even though he could not remember some of the people, he would let Ming Zhou carve the names of the people who had truly made contributions to Tianxia on the Qingqiong Boat. These names would live with this treasure of Dao forever and would not be destroyed by the Dao.
When Zhang Yu went to meet the Head Attendant, his shadow clone landed on the lower level and came to a spiritual pass in the upper continent between Yujing and Youyuan.
This place looked like a beautiful riverside hill. There were willows on the banks and plum blossoms on the mountains. It was a verdant landscape. He walked along the mountain path. When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw a bamboo hut. A twelve or thirteen year old chubby Daoist boy was reading a book inside. His voice was crisp and clear.
Kuai Jing walked out and bowed to him. "Zhang Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu looked at him and took out a talisman letter. He handed it to him and said, "Senior Brother Kuai, I have something important to do recently. If you and Little Junior Brother have any difficulties, you can take the talisman and look for these two."
Kuai Jing took the talisman letter and looked up. He pushed his glasses and said, "I will take care of Little Junior Brother."
Zhang Yu nodded and turned to leave. However, at this moment, he felt something and stopped. Huo Heng walked over from behind and stood beside him. He said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I think you are already prepared to complete the Dao technique."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You are well-informed."
Huo Heng smiled and said, "It's not that I'm well-informed, but that the Chaos has omens and has foresight. This is the wonder of the Chaos Dao technique."
He turned around and looked at Zhang Yu. "With Fellow Daoist's talent, I think you will definitely choose the best method. However, I'm afraid you don't know something. When I, Tianxia, came to this world, I have never sensed the Great Chaos. Now that I have seen it, the Chaos will definitely invade and add endless variables.
If Fellow Daoist is willing to enter my Dao of Chaos, I will point out a way for you to pass. "
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "A way to pass?"
Huo Heng put his sleeves behind his back and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't think that only Xuanting can pass, right?"
Zhang Yu naturally did not think so. For sects like Shangchen and Huanyang, because there was more than one upper level mighty figure in the sect, each sect must have a long-passed down method to complete the Dao technique. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to go to the upper realm.
However, it could be seen from this that because all the methods were summarized by the predecessors, and the later generations used the results of the predecessors to gradually perfect the methods, the upper method might not be the true end of the path to complete the Dao. There might be other paths above.
Huo Heng said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. The Dao of Chaos is enough to surpass all the previous methods of completing the Dao. If you encounter any obstacles at that time, you only need to borrow the power of the Great Chaos and you will naturally see something. At that time, you can choose how to go." After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yu's expression was calm. He waved his sleeve, and a ray of bright starlight transformed, and this doppelganger returned to the upper level.
In the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, Zhang Yu's real body had just returned from the depths of the Qing Qiong Cloud Sea and was walking towards the depths of the palace. After sensing the news brought by the doppelganger, his footsteps did not stop at all. He came to the Daoist Palace's pivot, sat down cross-legged, and began to adjust his Qi.
A day passed.
He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be the Milky Way spinning in his eyes. There was also a vast and majestic cloud of starlight floating out from his body.
He took out the golden talisman from his sleeve, pinched it with two fingers, and threw it out. This object flew up, and after a moment, it seemed to be burning. Countless bright golden fragments scattered one after another, and the palace seemed to be covered in an incomparably grand and bright golden light.
As he activated this talisman, it seemed to have opened some kind of barrier, and countless external disturbances were transmitted. However, these were like distant echoes, and soon disappeared one by one. Only one place still existed, and it was like the Great Sun hanging high in the sky, making it difficult for people to see its light. It also seemed like it had been there since ancient times, and it existed with the Dao.
"Clang …"
A long and drawn-out chime came from above the Qing Qiong Cloud Sea, and there was no trace of the person on the futon in the depths of the Daoist Palace.
