As the soft light in front of her dispersed, Nie Xinying found herself stepping on a fragrant plain. There were petals under her feet, and dense jade mist flowed in all directions.
She just stood there for a moment, and felt that there was a clear aura around her permeating into her lungs. With just a slight breath, she felt that her body was light, and her breath was much smoother. Her spirit was also refreshed, as if all the distracting thoughts were washed away.
After standing for a while, she calmed her mind and was about to look for a place to go. However, she saw a flash of light in front of her, and a Taoist appeared there. He bowed to her and said, "Are you Nie Daoxiu, the disciple of Deng Xuan Zun?"
Nie Xinying also bowed and said, "Yes, I am. May I know how to address you?"
Ming Zhou smiled and said, "I am Ming Zhou, the guide of the upper level of the Qingqiong Palace. I am in charge of greeting guests. This time, I was asked by Zhang Tingzhi of the Qingqiong Palace to welcome Nie Daoxiu."
Nie Xinying knew that Zhang Yu was now the Tingzhi, and he was in charge of Shouzheng. Earlier, she sent a letter to Zhang Yu because of this reason. At this moment, she took a light breath and said, "Then I will have to trouble you, Taoist Ming Zhou."
Ming Zhou said, "Nie Daoxiu is too polite." He immediately called a flying carriage pulled by a flying crane and invited Nie Xinying to sit on it. Then, he ordered the carriage to fly slowly in the air.
Nie Xinying looked around in the carriage and saw that there was a cool breeze coming from both sides. From time to time, there were fairies and fairies flying by. The sky flowers were dancing, and the surrounding clouds were surging. Celestial music lingered above. It was indeed a place of transcendence.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Qingqiong Palace above the sea of clouds.
Nie Xinying got off the carriage and saw that the palace was very symmetrical. Even the tiles on the left and right sides, the golden bronze spirit on the ridge, and the purple copper bell hanging below all corresponded to each other. If they were separated along a line, they would find that they were exactly the same. There was not even a slight difference.
She couldn't help but smile. "It really is Junior Brother Zhang's residence."
However, even though she knew that Zhang Yu was a court administrator, when she saw this majestic and otherworldly palace, she still felt that it was rather unreal.
The person she was familiar with had actually become one of the cultivators with the highest authority in Tianxia. Furthermore, she felt that it hadn't been that long since they parted ways. If this hadn't really happened, she couldn't have imagined it.
Daoist Ming Zhou seemed to understand her and stood by the side with a smile. He was not in a hurry to urge her to enter. However, he saw that Nie Xinying was only in a daze for a moment before she quickly calmed down and regained her original composure. He secretly praised her, "You are indeed Ting Zhi's fellow disciple. You are not simple at all."
He gestured at the air and said, "Nie Daoxiu, please."
Nie Xinying thanked him and followed him in. After passing through the hall in front, they arrived at an inner hall. Zhang Yu was already standing there to welcome them. When he saw her, he first spoke in a clear voice, "Senior Sister Nie, did your journey here go smoothly?"
Nie Xinying smiled gently and said, "Junior Brother sent Daoist Ming Zhou to welcome me. On the way here, my heart was free of worries and I was able to calm down and enjoy the scenery of the upper level."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since Senior Sister has come to the upper level, if there is nothing urgent, why don't you stay here for a while?"
After the two exchanged greetings outside, Zhang Yu invited Nie Xinying to a waterside pavilion in the Touring Park. This place was somewhat similar to other places in the Qingyang Upper Continent.
Nie Xinying remembered why she was here. After a short conversation, she took out the white branch and said, "Teacher said that although he could destroy this branch, he could not trace it back to its source. Therefore, he wanted to hand it over to Xuanting to deal with it."
Zhang Yu took the white branch. With just a glance, he was able to see through it. At this moment, he reached out with his hand and removed the restriction on it.
However, this restriction was just in case. In reality, the Belief God was one with this item and used it to become a god. If it was not destroyed by violence, the Belief God would not be able to break away on its own.
As for tracing it back to its source, with his magic power and skills, as well as his mastery of the Great Dao Eye Seal, if this thing was related to a god of a higher level, he would naturally be able to find it.
He said, "This is not difficult."
Nie Xinying knew Zhang Yu well and knew that he never boasted. Seeing how easily he said it, she knew that he could do it. She sighed inwardly.
After the battle in Shangchen, Zhang Yu sat on the position of the Xuanting Court Administrator and spread the news to all the continents. After she heard about it, she was curious and asked Deng Jing about Zhang Yu's cultivation.
However, Deng Jing did not answer immediately. After careful consideration, he said that this person was not someone he could evaluate, because at that time, Zhang Yu had already plucked the top cultivation fruit. Even in the upper level of Tianxia, he was one of the few people. The principles that he grasped were definitely higher than his. Only a real peer of the same generation could make a true evaluation. If he had to say it, then this kind of cultivator was unattainable.
When Nie Xinying heard this, she was very shocked. However, at the same time, she felt proud and happy for Zhang Yu's achievements.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He looked deep into the white branch and quickly peeled off the white divinity aura inside.
This aura revealed an old man in a silver robe. This was a person dressed as a master craftsman. On the surface, he looked like a person of Tianxia. This was because the believers who created this god were the craftsmen of Tianxia. He received the will of the craftsmen and could be called the god of creation of Tianxia. Naturally, he also had the appearance of a person of Tianxia.
He could not leave this place now. However, if he continued and absorbed more knowledge and skills, he could leave this place and not rely on it anymore.
At this moment, with the arrival of his power, this EsGod revealed a look of fear. He realized that everything about him could not hide from Zhang Yu's eyes. Everything that he knew, the creation of his divinity, gradually appeared from the root.
He hurriedly put on the most humble posture and transmitted his thoughts. "This is Tianxia Court Administrator. I beg for your forgiveness. This little god knows that Tianxia is also willing to accept EsGod. This little god was born from the faith of the craftsmen of Tianxia and can be considered the god of Tianxia. I am willing to follow the laws of Tianxia and listen to the orders of Tianxia."
After learning the knowledge and skills of the craftsmen, he naturally understood the existence of the upper level of Tianxia. In fact, it was also because of this reason that he did not dare to openly expand his believers.
If not for the fact that the pressure in the Shouzheng Palace was getting heavier and heavier this time, his spirituality clearly felt threatened and he felt that if he did not do something, he would very likely be discovered. Thus, he did not dare to rashly make such a risky arrangement to attract An Xiaolang.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Do you really think so?"
The silver-robed elder hurriedly said, "This little god indeed thinks so. Although this little god's believers have done things to confuse the craftsmen, this little god has never taken the initiative to harm a person of Tianxia."
Zhang Yu said, "But as far as I know, other than using the illusion of the Tenki-in Hall to confuse the craftsmen, you have also harmed the students who are unwilling to follow you, erasing their memories and damaging their consciousness."
The silver-robed elder put on a pitiful look and said, "These are the actions of the people below me. Moreover, every time they invite some cultivators who are not in the register to perform the means. This little god has never asked them to do this. This little god does not have the power to show, so I am powerless to stop them."
Zhang Yu did not express his opinion and said, "You just said that you are sincere in submitting to Tianxia?"
The silver-robed elder hurriedly made a bow. As he did the ritual of Tianxia, he said, "Yes, yes, this little god has always had this intention."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "Then why didn't you say this when you fell into Deng Xuanshou's hands? Why did you only say this when you came to me?"
The silver-robed elder hurriedly said, "It is not that this little god is unwilling, but Deng Xuanshou sealed this little god's aperture so that this little god could not speak. He also looked like he was going to kill this little god at any time. This little god was scared and anxious, but there was nothing I could do. Only when this little god came to Officer Ting, did this little god have a chance to speak."
Zhang Yu's eyes overflowed with divine light at this moment and looked directly at the elder. He said, "Just now you said that you are the god of Tianxia, but from what I see, you are clearly an alien god!"
Just as his gaze landed, the silver-robed elder's appearance suddenly changed. He turned into a young man wearing a white robe, with no hair on his head and golden eyes. His body was also extremely tall and strong, and he did not look like an old man at all.
This EsGod was very frightened by this change, but he still said loudly, "Officer Ting, please listen to this little god's explanation. This little god was born from this divine artifact and was innately controlled by this artifact, so my appearance was affected by it. However, after this little god appeared, I wore Tianxia's robe and spoke Tianxia's words. I hated my original appearance and wanted to destroy it and abandon it. However, my divinity is shallow, and I can't change it."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since you yearn for Tianxia so much, then tell me, what is your original name?"
When this EsGod heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he became hesitant to speak.
The name of a god was a name that the believers called out and showed to the outside world, and another was to reveal one's origin. If the enemy knew about it, it would be fine if the enemy's strength was not as high as his. However, if the enemy's strength was higher than his, they could easily find out everything about him and set up a method to capture him. However, the problem was that Zhang Yu could kill him at any time, so he did not dare to speak at this time for another reason …
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You don't dare to say your god name not because you are afraid that I will control you, but because your name does not contain the name of Tianxia. You have already found another god. You wear Tianxia's robe and speak Tianxia's language only to better obtain the trust of Tianxia's believers."
When this EsGod heard this, his entire body trembled, and his divinity shrank into a ball, not daring to move at all. He did not even have the slightest will to resist.
Zhang Yu ignored him and looked deeper into his divinity. This EsGod's divinity was also gradually being consumed in this process, and he went further and further upstream. At this time, the white branch in his hand trembled slightly as if it wanted to break free from his restraint, but it was useless.
Before this EsGod's divinity was exhausted, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he had already found the source of that divinity!
