In the Southern Continent of the Eastern Court, as a wisp of light floated past, the Mysterious Cicada spread its wings that were as brilliant as stars and arrived in front of the boundary painted with red on the map.
As it flew, the height of the Mysterious Cicada continued to decrease.
Since the change of the turbid tide in this era, it had been constantly decreasing in the past hundred years. It was only recently that there had been frequent changes. However, in the Eastern Court, the turbid tide in some places had always maintained a certain level of density.
For example, this was the case in this area. Therefore, if one were to look at it from the sky, one would only be able to see a sea of distorted and colorful colors. It was only because of Zhang Yu's eye imprint and his profound cultivation that he was able to make such a clear judgment.
However, if the turbid tide was at its peak, there would not be many people who could completely distinguish it. At that time, only when one landed on the ground would they be able to clearly distinguish the surroundings.
The Mysterious Cicada was not in a hurry to enter the area marked by the red fog. Instead, it circled around it. From the outside, it was just that the terrain inside was more complicated. Other than the mountain ridges, ravines, and jungle plants that were slightly sparse, it was no different from other places.
When Zhang Yu saw this, he pondered for a moment. Then, with a thought, he used his mind to control the two mystical creatures and planted a wisp of mind light into them, ordering them to enter this area.
After a while, he had a strange feeling in his heart. The mystical creatures had entered, but his mind light seemed to be repelled. Rather than saying that it was repelled, it was better to say that they had entered a different domain. His mind's light still remained in this world, while those two mystical creatures had entered another place, and since then, their whereabouts were unknown.
At first, he thought that this would be a crack in the layer or something like the Spirit Gate Divine Kingdom. Now, it seemed that this was not the case.
He already understood that it was not difficult for people who were not high enough to enter this place. However, for a Xuan Zun like him who had transcended the mortal world, it was impossible for him to enter.
This was like a narrow and low door. People of a lower level could easily enter, but people of a higher level were like the sky of a high mountain. Naturally, they could not squeeze in. If they forced their way in, even if they broke through the door, it would be useless. Under the premise of not knowing the situation here, such a crude method was not advisable.
However, just because the Divine Recovery Society was powerless didn't mean that he couldn't either. As the Mysterious Cicada's eyes flickered, layers of chaos and filth were stripped away. The path ahead became open, and a complete mystical spiritual light was seeped out from within. His heart light went up to receive it, and in an instant, a bit of spiritual light shone into it.
At the same time, the scenery in front changed in an instant. Zhang Yu was already standing on the gray land, surrounded by black ashes that looked like embers.
There were many people in withered cloaks walking slowly in this area. Their auras were deep and obscure. This was not a living being, but a manifestation of some kind of spirituality.
Zhang Yu's figure flickered faintly at this moment. This time, he had entered this place using a Spiritual Light Illumination Technique. This was the result of a bit of inspiration he had obtained from the creature in the chip, and he had changed it accordingly.
This was just reflecting everything in this area into his mind, and the two reflected each other, and he could see it with his heart light. Therefore, he looked here, but he was actually not here.
However, to some mystical creatures, seeing was also seeing. They could also initiate all kinds of contact and invade one's mind. Therefore, this kind of method was not something that anyone could casually use. If one was unlucky, they would instead fall into a desperate situation.
At this moment, he raised his head to look. At the forefront, there was a ball of crimson red fog. Fragmented whispers came from within. He took a step forward. As he approached this object, the whispers grew louder and louder. However, it also became more and more chaotic. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make out what was being said.
However, with his profound cultivation, he was able to faintly discern some things. Very soon, he arrived before the crimson mist and walked in without any hesitation. However, at that moment, the clamor suddenly disappeared.
He was not affected at all. His footsteps did not stop, and he continued to walk into the depths of the thick fog. As he went deeper, the red fog gradually dissipated, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear. It was as if … with a boom, something suddenly rushed in front of him, and it was struggling in a place that was only a few fingers away from him.
He was unmoved, and he looked at it calmly. This was something that looked like a mosquito and a bird. It had five-colored feathers, and it had a needle-like sharp and thin beak. It had slender legs, and a furry body. It charged at him madly, but there was an invisible barrier between the two of them.
He raised his head and looked up. He did not know when the red fog had completely dissipated, but the vast sky was revealed. It was not only this place. As far as his eyes could see, there were similar things everywhere. They were densely packed, and there were countless of them. They stretched all the way to the sky, and the sound waves they formed surged toward him as if they were covering the sky and earth.
However, at this moment, a huge red claw suddenly appeared. Accompanied by an explosion that sounded like the earth was collapsing, it left four huge long marks of flesh and blood on the invisible barrier. The mosquitoes and birds just now were almost wiped out. They either scattered in shock or exploded in the air.
Then, he heard an invisible chewing sound, but the specific living creature did not seem to exist. At this moment, he looked deeper into the mountain plains. He saw countless strangely shaped birds flying high above. At this moment, there were beautiful flowers with sharp teeth emerging from nothingness, and they swallowed them one by one. Then, they retreated, and the clear sky returned.
While he was looking, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. The light suddenly dimmed, and he saw countless tiny insects crawling on the invisible barrier. When they passed by, not even a blade of grass grew, and only bones were left on the ground.
However, very soon, many strange plants broke out of the ground. After a while, they bloomed and bore fruit. The fruits fell to the ground and turned into beetles crawling all over the ground. Then, the soil was turned over. The so-called earth was actually made up of many even smaller strange insects.
In fact, it was not just the earth...
Zhang Yu raised his head and looked. In his eyes, even the sky was filled with countless living creatures. They were close to each other, and there was almost no gap between them. However, they were in a kind of illusory state. Those flowers were the hunting organs of one of the living creatures. Only when prey appeared by their side, would they turn from illusory to real to hunt and kill.
He could see that these living creatures were reproducing at an unusually fast speed, and they were constantly changing. In just a short while, many living creatures no longer appeared, and were replaced by other living creatures that appeared later.
This situation was very abnormal. Moreover, this domain seemed to have been deliberately cut out from the world, a domain that had been deliberately occupied by someone.
It could be seen that there was a deep crack between this domain and the world. Those who came from the outside would only stay in the crack. Therefore, the people sent by the God Restoration Society did not disappear, but were always on the road to search. As long as they did not reach the end, they would not be able to escape.
The people who occupied this domain seemed to be trying something, so they isolated the inside from the outside. They did not allow people from the outside to enter, but also did not allow the living creatures inside to run out.
In fact, although he saw many living creatures here, he only borrowed the reflection of spirituality. In reality, there was still an extremely long distance between them. It was difficult to say where they were. Perhaps they were at the far end of the Void, or perhaps they were in the depths of the Void.
He thought for a moment. If it was just the mystical living creatures that he saw just now, it was not a big deal. Although their appearance was terrifying, their level was not high, and they were not a threat. However, considering the rapid change of these things, and the fact that they had existed for an unknown number of years, it was difficult to guarantee that there were no higher-level beings.
At this moment, he could not help but think of another matter. Every time after the Turbid Tide, some mystical living creatures would definitely appear. Could they have run out from these domains?
Or could it be that there was not only one such domain, but many of them?
If that was the case, the Turbid Tide was equivalent to the door that opened and closed. Then, thinking further, could this be related to the origin of the Turbid Tide?
As he pondered deeply, he seemed to have touched upon something. His eyes flashed slightly, and he decided to return to the upper level to talk about it. Thus, his figure disappeared, and he disappeared.
A few days later, the court meeting was held again in the middle of the month. This time, it was still to discuss the matter of world defense. Several court administrators, including Dai Tingzhi, believed that they should strengthen Shouzheng Palace, and not make use of creation.
This time, when Zhu Tingzhi presented his request to the court, even though most of the court elders stood on the side of the main palace, Zhong Weiwu, Chong Zhao and Zhangsun Qian, the three of them, rejected this request.
The chief administrator did not say a word. If it was in the past, he would definitely not let this matter fall into the hands of the five administrators. However, it was obvious that the transfer of authority had begun, so he did not mediate like in the past.
Chen Tingzhi did not seem to be obsessed with this matter. He only said, "If we can't do it this time, we'll discuss it next time. However, the defense cannot be relaxed. The Shouzheng Palace's garrison needs to be strengthened."
He also expressed his attitude. Even if the results were not out, it would not hinder him from strengthening Shouzheng Palace's garrison.
The reason here was also very appropriate. They could not just do nothing when the court meeting could not reach a conclusion. That was very likely to allow the enemy to take advantage of the situation. The purpose of their court meeting was to solve the problem, and not to be tied down by the problem itself. This was also unanimously approved by all the court administrators. Even Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi did not object. In their opinion, as long as the decision to strengthen Shouzheng Palace's garrison was not decided by the court, there was still room for change.
After this court meeting, Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi returned to the palace. Zhong Tingzhi said in a low voice, "Looking at Chen Tingzhi's attitude, we still need to discuss it a few more times."
Chong Tingzhi said, "Then it will take at most two months. Shouzheng Palace's garrison cannot increase in strength in such a short time …" As he spoke, he suddenly sensed something and could not help but look down at the lower realm.
