After Zhang Yu returned from the court meeting, he summoned Daoist Ming Zhou and ordered him to distribute the rewards that Xuanting had given to everyone.
Other than the rewards given by Xuanting, there were also some rewards given by the Shouzheng Palace. Therefore, even Zhu Feng and Mei Shang, who did not participate in the battle, were given some rewards because of their contributions during the absence of everyone.
Then, he sat down. Miaodan Lord scurried to his side. He reached out and rubbed his temples, thinking about the matters discussed in the court meeting.
He did not pay much attention to the arguments between the two sides. The reason why he did not speak out against Chong Tingzhi was because Chong Tingzhi's words had their own meaning.
It was just that this person was too anxious.
Back then, Xuanting was supported by the Turbid Tide, the continents were separated, and Shangchen was under attack. Under such a precarious situation, Xuanfa was supported in order to deal with internal and external pressure. Now, Xuanting's strength was enough to deal with internal and external enemies. Of course, they could not make any big moves.
Although some enemies were hard to defend against, Xuanting was not without solutions. Moreover, there were two sides to everything. The creation faction had always been chasing after strength. There were some precedents in the past, and it had not stopped until now. If the reins were loosened, there would definitely be internal problems, not to mention external problems.
Most importantly, the creation faction was not the only choice. For example, Dai Tingzhi's method was feasible.
Tianxia's overall strategy was to be tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The world was focused on improving the people's livelihood. This way, more people would be knowledgeable. Not only would there be more people to contribute to Tianxia's prosperity, but there would also be more suitable students to choose the path of Dao. If they followed Chong Tingzhi's plan, they would have to lean towards the military. This was not in line with Tianxia's current direction.
However, after some consideration, the Shouzheng Palace's strength did need to be strengthened. From the looks of it, not counting Tianxia, the rulers of the previous epochs were not inferior to the rulers of the later epochs. In fact, some of them even surpassed them. There were still two epochs before the Mochi Celestial Race. Could those rulers still be around?
Regardless of whether there was one or not, he still had to be on his guard.
At this time, a thought came from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He looked over and saw that it was Feng Ting Zhi. He asked casually, "Fellow Daoist Feng, is something the matter?"
Daoist Feng's voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think of Steward Chong Ting's words?"
Zhang Yu said concisely, "There are those who can be gained and those who can be abandoned."
Taoist Feng said, "I think he is just trying to suppress Xuan Fa, that's why he purposely praised Creation. When the next meeting is held, he will definitely insist on this matter again. I think he won't be satisfied if he doesn't achieve his goal."
Zhang Yu said, "Everything can be discussed. He has his reasons and I have mine. Stewards, you all have your own judgment."
Daoist Feng nodded and said, "I'm only worried that they will use this as an excuse to make a fuss and do something else. It's good that you know. That's why Xuan Fa is in such a good situation now. It's about to prosper, we can't let anyone stop it at this time. "
Zhang Yu said, "Fa is impermanent. Our Xuan Fa is flourishing because of Tianxia. If we can push Tianxia forward and continue to do so, what's there to worry about?"
Daoist Feng paused for a moment before sighing, "Fellow Daoist is right. It's just that some obsessions can't be let go so easily. "
After a few more words, Daoist Feng bade farewell and left. However, not long after he left, Dai Tingzhi found him through Xuntian Dao Zhang and said, "I know what Chong Tingzhi and Zhong Tingzhi are thinking. However, I still have the same intention, to strengthen Shouzheng Palace.
My Tianxia's strength lies in strengthening the people and stabilizing the Dao. The past has already proven this point. Before Xuan Fa fails, I will naturally support Xuan Fa. As for Creation, it's better to stand on the people's side for now. "
Zhang Yu was also clear that Dai Tingzhi had sought his support last time. This time, he was returning the favor and fully supporting him in the meeting. However, Dai Tingzhi was obviously not someone who only cared about favors. His words were basically in favor of Tianxia. If it was not beneficial to Tianxia, he would not support it no matter what.
He said, "No matter what Xuanting decides, before this matter is settled, I will first expand the manpower in Shouzheng Palace."
Dai Tingzhi nodded and said, "I also agree with this." After saying a few more words, he also took his leave.
After he left, Zhang Yu sat for a while. His eyes revealed a sharp light. At this moment, he decided to personally take action and eliminate the last EsGod related to Mo Qi.
After calming his mind, he sent a wisp of aura towards the spirituality that he had sensed earlier. His eyes flickered slightly, and he once again arrived at the magnificent building with straight walls.
The metallic walls around him were emitting a hazy light. He did not care about anything else and directly walked forward. Not long after, he arrived at the end of the passage.
There was only one wall here, and there was a half-human half-monster with a mask embedded in the wall. It had scales and tentacles, as if it was pieced together by all kinds of strange creatures.
However, when it saw him coming over, this EsGod became abnormally panicked and showed signs of being willing to submit.
Zhang Yu glanced at it. The reason it appeared was because of the gathering of the beliefs of the God Recovery Society and some Mo Qi believers. It was also the spokesperson of the Mo Qi God Race.
Even if EsGod himself did not want to, the divinity would still guide him to do something that the Mochi God Race wanted him to do. There was even a chance that he would try to revive the Mochi God Race, especially when the Spiritual Prophecy had yet to dissipate. Therefore, it had to be dealt with.
With a call of his mind, a bright sword light flew up and slashed on the opposite wall. Under the activation of the "Absolute Slash" ability, the wall was instantly cut into two, and the spirituality was also completely destroyed. The half-human, half-monster EsGod paused for a moment, and with a deep sigh, it turned into countless sand mist and collapsed. The entire place shook endlessly and began to collapse.
Zhang Yu's mind turned and returned to his body. However, looking at the time, half a day had already passed.
Now that the Mo Qi God Race had been eliminated, there was still the leader of the Southern God Recovery Society still hiding in the depths of the interspatial layer. This person had to be eliminated to prevent anything from happening.
And this matter needed to be done by a suitable person.
He called Ming Zhou over and said, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou, go and invite Fellow Daoist Yi Chu to Shouzheng Palace."
Ming Zhou obeyed and left.
Not long after, Yi Shen came to the front hall of Shouzheng Palace. When he entered the hall and saw Zhang Yu, he used a very standard Tianxia salute and said, "Fellow Daoist, you called me here. I guess you have something to tell me?"
Zhang Yu briefly explained the matter.
Yi Shen said very straightforwardly, "Leave this matter to me." He still felt that he had not done enough, and this matter came at the right time. He asked again, "Am I the only one on this trip?"
Zhang Yu said, "I think you alone are enough."
Yi Shen's expression became serious. Solemnly, he bowed and said, "I dare not disappoint you."
He originally thought that Zhang Yu would send someone to be in charge of monitoring him, but he did not expect that he would trust him so much. This made him determined to do his best to complete this matter.
Zhang Yu was not afraid of him playing tricks. This person even killed the Four Pillar Gods. Why would he show mercy to a follower? If the Mochi clan really returned, the first person to be dealt with would be Yi Shen. This was because no matter which faction saw it, a traitor was more hateful than an enemy. Therefore, it was best to leave this matter to Yi Shen.
He also gave Yi Shen a talisman for transmission and told him that he could use it to contact Yuandu Xuantu at a critical moment. After that, he let him leave.
At the same time, in the Crane Hall of the Qingyang Upper Continent.
Zhu Tingzhi stood there and looked up at the lush banyan tree.
According to Chong Tingzhi's idea, they needed to use creation to protect the continent. Because of some conflicts between spiritual energy and mana, the two could not coexist. One of the two would have to be eliminated.
Even if they did not need to do so now, once the power of creation increased in the future, they would have to get rid of the old and replace the new.
He said to himself, "If you knew what happened after your death, what would you do? I expect that you will laugh at this and continue to do it without hesitation, right? "
At this moment, Yun Chen finished some matters in the Xuan Palace and arrived at the top of the Crane Hall. When he raised his head, he saw a green-robed figure standing there. He was startled at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised. He hastily took a few steps forward and bowed deeply: "Disciple Yun Chen greets teacher." He then raised his head and said: "I didn't know it was teacher, please forgive me."
Zhu Tingzhi turned around and looked at him. He nodded and said, "Your skills have improved, but there is still a long way to go."
Yun Chen lowered his head and said, "Disciple is ashamed to have disappointed teacher."
Zhu Tingzhi said, "You are not disappointed. Just cultivate slowly. There is no need to be greedy. You have great potential and a bright future. Cultivation is the foundation of our generation. You do not have to care too much about the mundane things. I will help you solve some of them."
Yun Chen nodded and said, "Disciple thanks teacher for your protection."
But he felt a little uncomfortable. It was not because his skills could not keep up, but because teacher hinted that he could care less, or even not care at all.
But how could that be? Taking care of things was where his joy lay. Every time he finished a task, he could feel a deep sense of accomplishment.
Especially when he arranged things himself and carried them out well, it made him feel especially satisfied. If he was not allowed to do it, it would be very uncomfortable.
Zhu Tingzhi handed a jade dagger to him and said, "You can keep this. It will help you with your cultivation."
Yun Chen took it and replied, "Disciple will work hard to cultivate to repay teacher's kindness." He thought to himself, "It seems that I have to care less about things. Alas."
After Zhu Tingzhi gave him a few more words of advice, he didn't stay any longer. Just like when he came, he left silently with a flash of dense green Qi.
