Zhang Yu was a little surprised and thought to himself, "Where did Master Xun go?"
No wonder when he asked Daoist Zhan Kong about Master Xun's whereabouts, the latter said that he did not know where he was. It turned out that it involved such a confidential matter and this person indeed did not know.
"Yuandu Xuantu" was indeed impressive to be able to use this vessel to travel to Yuanxia. However, there must be some restrictions in coming here. Moreover, he didn't know what level of cultivation this teacher had, or what identity he was using to go to that place. He thought that he should still be using the identity of Xuan Zun because the movements of the deacons were too big.
He thought that even though the five deacons said that this teacher might send back the news later on, it was obvious that they could not place all their hopes on him. This was because everything was built on the premise that everything went smoothly. However, there would definitely not be many loopholes on Yuanxia's side. Therefore, they might have to be prepared for an extremely long period of time without a reply.
After thinking about all these, he raised his head and asked a very important question, "If Tianxia and Yuanxia were to fight, would the deacons participate in this battle?"
The deacon in the middle slowly said, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not take action. The almighty of Yuanxia had created ten thousand eras, but it was only to break the Dao and search for the Dao. If I were to be his opponent, what we would be competing for would only be the superiority of our mana and not the superiority of the Dao. In that case, it would be fine to fight like this from the start and there would be no need to create ten thousand eras.
Moreover, our mana transcends the world and is immersed in the depths of the world. The thoughts of the various spirits and the actions of the various objects would inevitably be affected by our generation. Therefore, we would only try to reduce our attention to the world and not interfere with the world below. The more we look, the more our mana would invade, which would be disadvantageous to the world. "
Just like me, Yuanxia's side is the same. Mana involves a lot of the world. If the Dao is disturbed too much, it would cause all our previous efforts to be wasted. This is also not what the almighty of Yuanxia wants to see. "
Zhang Yu suddenly understood. It was no wonder that the deities rarely came into contact with the world before. Even if they occasionally appeared, they said that it would be easy to disturb the order of the world if they stayed outside for a long time.
The deacon on the left said, "However, Zhang Tingzhi needs to know that it doesn't mean that the almighty of Yuanxia won't interfere. That's only when they are stronger than me. However, once they see that I'm stronger than him or that I might be able to eliminate him, they will definitely make a move. But as long as this person doesn't make a move, we won't make a move either. So you all have to rely on yourselves. "
The enforcer on the right said sincerely, "Zhang Tingzhi, you are all created from this world, if you don't come to protect yourselves, who will protect you?" "In the past, even without our interference, all of you have done very well."
Zhang Yu agreed with this statement. Although the five deacons didn't want their knowledge to be overturned, in the end, regardless of the outcome, they were still there.
However, the people of Tianxia, including him, were different. If this world was destroyed, it would truly be gone and turned into a bubble. All of their efforts and cultivation would turn into nothingness. There wouldn't be any traces left.
If they didn't fight for their lives, would they expect others to fight for them?
The five deacons had done enough.
At this moment, the deacon in the middle spoke again, "Zhang Tingzhi, the Dao of the World that you created gave Xuanfa forty years of time, allowing Xuanxiu to catch up to him in forty years. However, this isn't enough.
We rejected Xuanting's suggestion of severing the connection because this world has other uses. The world that you created with Xuanfa is completely different from the world created with true techniques. It's a variable and is outside of Yuanxia's calculation. Therefore, we can use it on it. "
Zhang Yu was slightly surprised, "May I know what method the deacons intend to use?"
The leftmost deacon said, "We can turn it into a lower level, allowing one year of my Tianxia to be equivalent to thirty to forty years of time. This way, regardless of whether it's true cultivation or Xuanxiu, they can use this world. The cultivators can use this to operate the mysteries of heaven, and they can comprehend the truth earlier."
The rightmost deacon said, "This is also a change in a lack. The only thing that we can do now is to interfere as little as possible. However, this Dao of the World was created by you, so we need to ask Zhang Tingzhi if you are willing to do so?"
Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel relieved. No wonder the deacons thought that severing this world wasn't feasible. So it was because of this reason. Moreover, if this Dao of the World could become a lower level of Tianxia, the entire Tianxia could use it to increase their strength. He said, "I am willing."
The deacon in the middle looked at him and said, "Then this matter is settled. Zhang Tingzhi, if you don't have any questions for now, let's end our conversation here. If you have any urgent matters that you need to ask us, you can come here again to ask."
Zhang Yu nodded. Solemnly, he bowed.
The five deacons also bowed there. After that, their figures gradually faded from the jade wall.
Zhang Yu stood there for a moment. With a thought, he had already left this space and returned to the depths of the sky. He looked at the rolling clouds in front of him and suddenly felt that he had a different kind of understanding when looking at things at this moment. The conversation with the five deacons had undoubtedly raised his perspective of looking at things to a higher level.
In reality, he could see that although the five deacons said that they couldn't interfere too much with the world, they had laid down a deep enough foundation for them.
Moving Tianxia above this world and coming into contact with the Great Chaos was to increase the number of variables, causing Yuanxia to be unable to do anything. Pushing the Xuan technique was to open up the upper and lower levels as much as possible, quickly integrating the interior into one, allowing Tianxia's strength to be concentrated as much as possible.
Moreover, it wasn't just pushing the Xuan technique. Xuanting also allowed for the existence of other things that could lead to the Dao. For example, creation was one of them. The current responsibility of creation was to improve the people's lives to the greatest extent. However, if it continued to push, even those who couldn't cultivate would be able to ascend to the Dao. This was also a path that had never appeared in the past.
While doing this, the five deacons summoned his teacher, Xun Ji, to Yuanxia. With these three steps, they could advance or retreat. The situation that seemed to be doomed was forcefully turned around.
However, whether or not they could continue on the path that had been paved was up to them.
However, he thought to himself that compared to Yuanxia, Tianxia had a huge flaw. Yuanxia didn't have those almighty beings who could manifest ten thousand eras. Perhaps there were other Upper Realm cultivators. However, if Tianxia didn't have those people, then there wouldn't be a single Upper Realm cultivator … No!
There was such a person in Tianxia, and that was the chief deacon!
With the chief deacon's achievements, he could go to the upper levels at any time. After the chief deacon left his position, he would definitely become one of the deacons ranked in the upper levels.
If that was the case, then the chief deacon would be the first person to achieve the Upper Realm since the world of Tianxia was created!
This also meant that in this world, he could also ascend to the Upper Realm with his own cultivation!
Just as he was thinking here, the sea of clouds in front of him opened. A Xiao Tong came over on a boat and bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Zhang Tingzhi. The chief deacon invites you in."
Zhang Yu stood there and didn't return. He already had a feeling in his heart that the chief deacon was looking for him because of Yuanxia. He said, "Alright, I'll go over now."
With a thought, he landed on an empty land in an instant. The chief deacon was holding a black hairpin and wearing a light gray Daoist robe. He was standing on the line of eternity and was the only person in this world who could stand there. When he saw Zhang Yu, he first bowed and said, "Greetings, Zhang Tingzhi."
Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Greetings, chief deacon."
The chief deacon looked at him and said, "Since Zhang Tingzhi has met the five deacons this time, you must know the great enemy that I, Tianxia, have to face."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I already know that the enemy of Tianxia is not inside, but outside."
The chief deacon nodded, but then shook his head and said, "Zhang Tingzhi's words are both correct and incorrect." He said slowly, "I think that the enemy of Tianxia is inside, not outside. I think that as long as I, Tianxia, do not panic, no one can defeat Tianxia."
Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked at him.
The chief deacon also looked over. His voice seemed to contain unparalleled confidence as he said, "I've been in charge of Xuanting for almost four hundred years. I understand everyone in Tianxia and Tianxia's potential. We have their side, but also have something they don't.
I dare say that even the deacons have greatly underestimated Tianxia. I also believe that I, Tianxia, will win. However, the prerequisite is that I, Tianxia, do not make mistakes first. "
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. Combining the words of the five deacons and the various comparisons between the two sides, he was inclined to agree with this statement.
The chief deacon said solemnly, "Zhang Tingzhi, although the deacons can guide the general trend, there is a limit to how much they can help us. I, on the other hand, will go to the upper realm when the time is right. Although there is a limit to how much I can help after I go there, we have no choice but to take this step. From now on, we can only reflect on ourselves and move forward cautiously."
Zhang Yu nodded solemnly. Deacons were deacons, after all. They couldn't think too deeply about the world. Although the chief deacon was different from the five deacons and didn't have as many misgivings, he could only intervene to a limited extent.
However, this was necessary because Tianxia would only be able to truly feel at ease after the chief deacon had broken through this boundary. Furthermore, the significance of having a truly powerful being from his own world overseeing the situation would be completely different.
The chief deacon looked into the distance. For a moment, he seemed to have seen everything. He said, "It will be February in a month's time. At that time, during the court meeting in the middle of the month, I will relinquish my position as chief deacon and hand it over to Chen Tingzhi. I will then go to the upper realm. Zhang Tingzhi, after I leave, Tianxia's future can only be entrusted to you. "
Zhang Yu understood that Yuan Xia and Tianxia happened to be two extremes. One was steadfast and steadfast, killing all changes in order to prove eternity. The other was reformist and sought change, not sticking to one pattern and opening up a myriad of paths. Moreover, there was only one line of heaven's secrets, so only one could walk to the end.
This kind of battle involved the heavens and the end of the path. It was a battle of the entire civilization, a battle of style, laws, and etiquette. There was no way back, and there shouldn't be any delusions.
Therefore, this battle was not only for himself, but also for Tianxia!
He raised his head and said in an incomparably Solemnly tone, "Yu, will do his best!"
