Within the Qing Qiong Dao Palace, Zhang Yu summoned Ming Zhou and asked him to bring a letter to Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi, asking them to calculate when EsGod might return.
Once he was done, he began to deal with the loose cultivators. He requested the various Shouzheng stations to find out the number of loose cultivators in their stations and continents, as well as their backgrounds. If there was no one with a clear record, if they did not report, or if they did not have the permission of the Xuanfu, they were not allowed to move around freely within the Tianxia territory. Those who violated this rule would be arrested.
Although this was a little harsh on the loose cultivators, it had to be recognized that these people were originally a group of people who wandered outside the Tianxia territory. They could already be regarded as outsiders, and they were a group with great destructive power. If they were not restrained and returned to the Tenki-in Hall, no one knew what they would do.
For the sake of the safety of Tianxia, they had to be on guard against them.
However, he did not view all loose cultivators as enemies. If they were willing to return to Tianxia and work for the Tianxia, they would be welcomed with open arms. As long as they explained everything clearly, they would be treated equally. If they were not willing to explain, he would not ask them to do anything, but it was necessary to be on guard.
This matter was within the jurisdiction of the Shouzheng Palace, and there was no need to discuss it with the other Shouzheng. Therefore, once the order was issued, it was known to the various Shouzheng stations, and they immediately carried it out.
After he had made the necessary arrangements, Daoist Ming Zhou had also returned. Zhi Li said, "Court Steward, the letter has been delivered. Court Steward Zhong and Court Steward Chong have both agreed to perform the divination. They also said that with the traces of divinity provided in the letter, this matter will not be difficult. The results will be out by tomorrow at the latest."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Daoist Ming Zhou said that he did not dare. Seeing that he had no more care for him, he bowed and turned into light and left.
Zhang Yu stood up and looked at the light screen in front of him. In recent days, the exploration of the Void had been going deeper. The true cultivators sent out had also reported back the situation of the Evil God's hinterland, and the map was becoming more and more detailed.
From the situation shown on the map, there were far more living beings in these places than imagined. Those who could survive in the Void were mostly mystical living beings, but they did not invade the inner layer. It was not that they did not want to, but there was a barrier between the inner and outer layer. Without the Turbid Tide, it was impossible to enter.
There were also some who became nourishment for the Evil Gods, with some of them becoming divine minions of the Evil Gods after being tainted by the Evil God's aura. Some of them would kill each other, while others would occupy the peripheral stars. Regardless of whether it was the losing side or those who wanted to expand their forces, they would involuntarily approach the Twenty-Eight Constellations Guard, causing conflict.
In the past, Tianxia's main focus was on Shangchen, and the Evil God was only secondary. Therefore, he did not understand why the descendants of the Evil God were endless. They were like weeds, getting rid of batch after batch, and it was impossible to kill all of them. Now, he knew the reason.
Among the Evil Gods, except for a few who were close to the 28 constellations and coveted the inner layer, most of them robbed and twisted the spiritual will of the mystical living beings, turning them into the source of their power. In this respect, some of the Evil Gods had inadvertently become a line of defense in the inner layer.
However, it was impossible to count on the enemy to be a defender. Like the Tabo Celestial Clan, who could invade the inner layer, the chaotic Evil Gods could not stop them at all. It was better to find the source. If those otherworldly beings really existed, they had to be eliminated no matter the price.
He looked at the void deeply. For some reason, he had recently felt an invisible threat hovering in the sky, as if it could descend at any time, but it also seemed to be very far away. However, there did not seem to be such an enemy around Tianxia.
Could it be the return of the Shangchen, Huanyang, Shenzhao, and other sects? He felt that it did not seem like it. Unless this person's power increased after leaving, the result would only be the same as last time when he fought with Tianxia.
Half a day later, on the second day, when the deity above the sea of clouds released the light of the sun, the results of the two court enforcers, Zhong and Chong, had already arrived.
Daoist Ming Zhou presented a talisman to him and reported, "The two court enforcers said that EsGod might try to return in five days at the latest and three days at the longest. If he does so, this talisman will naturally reveal his location. However, there are certain variables in this matter. If he doesn't return this time, then this matter may be delayed, and it is very likely that it will be delayed for several years. "
Zhang Yu asked in detail and finally understood. If it was the general trend, then the result would be relatively accurate. However, if it involved changes in the details, then it might not be so. Because EsGod's aura was not directly obtained by Zhong and Chong, there were certain variables. Both possibilities existed.
However, this was not important. As long as they knew the general result through the calculation, no matter which result it was, there would be a way to deal with it.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In that spiritual gate, the many God's descendants began to prepare to sacrifice to the main god and welcome the return of the god they worshipped. In the previous three days, they had been hunting spiritual beings all over the place. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, they even dragged a majestic white deer that they kept in the temple to the altar.
However, just as they were about to start the ceremony, they saw a black smoke descend, and the skinny daoist appeared in front of the altar. Looking at the thousands of God's descendants below, he shouted, "Stop for now!"
These God's descendants were shocked and confused. The leader of the God's descendants stood up and asked, "Mister Ling, why do we have to stop?"
The skinny daoist said in a deep voice, "I just made another calculation. This time, the sacrifice might be obstructed. You can't continue, or the god won't be able to return successfully."
The leader of the God's descendants said with difficulty, "But we have already reported this matter to the main god. If we stop and don't sacrifice, we will anger the main god."
The skinny daoist said, "Then promise to give more compensation next time, but you must not call your guardian god back."
The leader of the God's descendants thought for a moment. Solemnly, he said, "Okay."
The skinny daoist had contributed a lot to the establishment of this God's Kingdom and had a lot of power himself. The two sides had also established a relatively trusting relationship after a long time, so he agreed to such a big thing. Although it was not that no one objected, these voices were quickly suppressed.
Because they did not know what was going on, these God's descendants were still on guard against external enemies. However, after waiting for a few days, no enemies came, and some God's descendants could not help but complain. Because if they missed this opportunity, even if they made up for it, summoning the tribal god next time would not only cost more sacrifices, but it also meant that for a very long time, the God's Kingdom would be in a relatively empty and dangerous environment.
The skinny daoist ignored these complaints. Without the tribal god, the entire race had to rely on him to protect them, and his prestige could not be shaken at all.
Zhang Yu looked at the talisman in his hand that dimmed and knew that EsGod did not choose to return it. The other party was able to avoid this, so he was obviously prepared. He asked, "Is there someone on the other side who can sense the calculations of the two court deacons?"
Ming Zhou said, "Zhong Tingzhi said that's not the case. It's very likely that the other party has mastered the 'Yin Yang Calculation' method. To be honest, it's also luck that one of them got the right answer."
Yin Yang Calculation, to put it bluntly, was to directly calculate two results, whether to do it or not. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, one had to follow the result of the calculation and practice it for a long time.
This way, even if the person making the calculation was not strong enough and did not have a deep enough cultivation, they could still calculate with a small result. Of course, the possibility of failure was also very high, but as long as one had enough ability to solve the problem when they failed, it was not a problem. Furthermore, as long as the calculation was correct once, one could win with a small result.
Zhang Yu said, "According to Zhong Tingzhi, this god will only be able to return after a few years or even decades?"
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Before this, Zhong Tingzhi had made an additional calculation on top of this result, so this matter can be concluded very quickly."
Zhang Yu nodded. This was the result of Zhong and Chong, the two court enforcers, calculating the other party's counter-calculation. Although they were unable to accurately calculate the other party's choice, the other party only had two choices. Thus, they could simply calculate the other party's counter-calculation accordingly. You were still within my calculations.
The side with a higher level of cultivation was not just for show. Even if you were weaker, you might be able to escape for a while, but on a longer scale, you would still not be able to escape. You would only be delaying your own end, and the end result would not be any different.
Since this matter had been confirmed, it could be put aside for the time being. When the time was right, he would deal with the other party. The key was to ensure that there were no loopholes on his side, so he would not be afraid of the other party infiltrating.
In these three days, the various stations had found more than two hundred Rogue Cultivators. In the whole of Tianxia, this number was not large. The proportion of them in the inner layer was larger, at least seventy percent.
This was because of the existence of the Outer Void Evil in the outer layer. Unless one had pledged allegiance to the Evil God, ordinary cultivators would not dare to live alone in the outer layer. On the other hand, the inner layer of the Wasteland was larger. If one was lucky enough to find a spiritual gate, it would be enough to become a base.
Most of these Rogue Cultivators did not have high cultivation, but there were no real weaklings among them. This was because cultivators who did not have much ability would have been eliminated long ago. It was impossible for them to survive in the Wasteland.
He estimated that in the four hundred years of Tianxia's arrival, there were more than ten thousand Rogue Cultivators outside. Originally, these people were scattered across the vast territory, so they were not a big threat. However, from the reports that were submitted, a considerable number of Rogue Cultivators were actually in contact with each other, and they were separated by a large distance.
Not only that, there were also some Rogue Cultivators who claimed that someone had been trying to contact them recently.
Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. It was actually quite reasonable for rogue cultivators to group up. The wilderness was filled with EsGods and mystical creatures, and it was impossible for one to fight against these forces alone. However, the problem was that most of these people were true cultivators, so how did they communicate with each other from such a distance?
