Less than half an hour after Daoist Xue sent out the message, Chang Yang, Gan Bai, Chang Ze, and Lu Xingjie also sent back their replies, and agreed to meet to discuss this matter.
After settling on a place, the five of them quickly gathered together with the help of Yuandu Xuantu.
In the past, they had to talk through the Xuanxiu disciples around them, but this time, Xuanting deliberately relaxed the restrictions and allowed them to meet each other.
After greeting each other, Daoist Xue said, "Fellow Daoists, I feel that we need to understand why Xuanting is looking for these sects now."
Chang Ze asked, "Do we need to understand?"
Gan Bai yawned.
Daoist Xue said unhappily, "Shouldn't we discuss the reason? One must at least understand what one is doing to have a goal. As for this matter, if we know the reason, we can better carry it out. "
Lu Xingjie said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Xue, you need to know when to advance and when to retreat."
Chang Yang also kindly advised, "Fellow Daoist Xue, we are only prisoners now, we don't need to understand these things."
Daoist Xue looked at him with disdain, he had nothing to say to this person, if it wasn't for this person, he wouldn't have let go of his loyalty so easily and come to Tianxia anyway. But since he was already in Tianxia, he had to work hard for Tianxia and do it with all his heart! How could he be so perfunctory?
Lu Xingjie said, "I think that we don't need to care about the specific reason. Tianxia asked us to search for the whereabouts of the old sects, he didn't tell us how to do it, so we shouldn't be meddlesome and just do what we should do." He glanced at Daoist Xue, "If we do something we shouldn't do, not to mention that there are no benefits, we might not even be able to satisfy the higher-ups."
Chang Ze said, "You're right."
Chang Yang agreed, "Yes, we can only serve Tianxia better if we protect ourselves, that's how we should be worthy of Tianxia."
Daoist Xue couldn't help but be dissatisfied with this. These people didn't even think about how to deal with Tianxia and did their best. He thought angrily that if he had the power, he would definitely write a letter to reprimand and report this person!
Lu Xingjie said, "Everyone, if Xuanting really cares about this matter, he won't just let us do this alone. Most likely, there will be follow-up arrangements, or a document will be sent here, or a High Holiness will come here and be responsible for dispatching us. Therefore, we don't have to think too highly of ourselves. Xuanting can still do something without the five of us. We will just be a part of his cooperation."
Daoist Changze said, "That makes sense."
Lu Xingjie smiled again and said, "But we can't not be serious when we do things. I'm sure you've all gained something in the past few years. Why don't we exchange some pointers first?" For the past few years, they had been guarding against the return of Shangchen, Huanyang, and other sects in the void. Although they had not seen these sects, it was not as if they had not discovered anything.
Chang Yang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be."
Daoist Xue did not object. Therefore, the five of them exchanged their findings. However, it was unknown if they kept anything to themselves. After the discussion, they exchanged some pleasantries with each other.
Gan Bai was a little impatient. He pulled a long face and said, "Are you done?"
Lu Xingjie smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's go back first. We'll inform whoever has news."
Daoist Xue was not satisfied. He suddenly turned to look at Chang Yang, thinking that if Shangchen and Huanyang were to send someone back, this person would definitely run away immediately. Therefore, he had to keep an eye on this person for Tianxia.
At the same time, Zhangsun Qian's figure appeared on the platform in front of the prison in the upper level of the sky dome. Daoist Ming Zhou was waiting for him. He cupped his hands and said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, please follow Ming Zhou."
Zhangsun Qian followed him into the depths of the prison. After passing through dozens of teleportation checkpoints and another layer of barrier, they entered an empty space. Wu Qingxu was on a floating platform in the middle. Around him were mystical creatures that looked like piles of turbid ink.
Wu Qingxu said, "The creatures imprisoned here are the upper level mystical creatures that were captured by my fellow Daoists after I, Tianxia, entered this world."
Zhangsun Qian knew very well that half of the mystical Lingdu here were captured when the upper level was opened. These mystical creatures were shapeless and formless, as if they were in a different world from ordinary creatures. However, ordinary EsGods on the surface would not sense them. Only those who reached the upper level would be able to sense them.
After the upper level of the sky dome ship was opened, these mystical creatures attacked the upper level crazily. However, most of them were eliminated on the spot, and the last few were suppressed here.
The direction he was researching was to change the substance of the mind, and these mystical creatures could provide him with help in this direction. If he had taken them out earlier, he would not have been in such a hurry.
Wu Qingxu said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, I did not allow you to research these things in the past because you were too focused on achieving your goals and neglected everything else. It was because of your leniency that many things went awry in the past.
However, during the Turbid Tide period, Tianxia was facing internal and external troubles. He had to use all the necessary methods. Since you were thinking for Tianxia, I did not pursue this matter. However, you cannot afford to be careless anymore. "
Zhangsun Qian said calmly, "Is Wu Tingzhi talking about the creation of the Azure Sun Continent?"
The creation of the Azure Sun Continent was indeed inspired by him. This was because he had accurately predicted that the cultivators of this continent would suffer a huge setback when they were troubled by the parasitic Nightmares. It was fine for true cultivators, but as long as they cultivated in seclusion, Xuanxiu would be disturbed and its destructive power would be even greater. This gap had to be filled by the creation.
Later on, the creation of the cultivators was just like what he had told Zhang Yu. It was to deal with the external invasion of Shangchen and to make up for the lack of combat power.
He believed that for the safety of Tianxia as a whole, there were some minor details that could not be taken care of. There had to be some trade-offs.
However, his thinking also affected his disciples. Some of Bai Xiu's later actions were no longer about trade-offs. Instead, they were unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.
Wu Tingzhi said in a deep voice, "It's not just the creation. There's also the matter of Yuan Tong. Suppressing him was a task entrusted to you by Xuanting. However, you shouldn't have done anything else."
Zhangsun Qian could not help but fall silent.
After Wu Qingxu spoke a few words, he didn't continue talking about this matter. Instead, he returned to the main topic and said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, you have already seen these mystical creatures. When do you think you will succeed?"
Zhangsun Tingzhi pondered for a moment and gave a time limit. He said, "Thirty years."
Wu Qingxu shook his head. "Thirty years? I think three years is too long. I'll give you half a year at most. "
Zhangsun Qian could not help but glance at him. He understood what he meant. Tianxia might be in danger within half a year. However, he could not think of what kind of enemy would make Tianxia so anxious.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I can take out something within half a year. However, there are some places that need to be compromised."
Wu Qingxu asked, "What places?"
Zhangsun Qian said, "The higher the degree of compatibility between the object and the host, the higher the possibility of success. Therefore, I'm afraid that after I'm done, I'll have to carefully select the host. Therefore, the initial selection may be a little harsh."
Wu Qingxu thought for a moment and said, "Alright. It's impossible for many people to benefit from this at the beginning. We can only select a small number of people to try it out. Let's do that."
In Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, Zhang Yu took out the amulet that Guan Chaosheng gave him and looked at it. He did not pay much attention to this item before he completed the Taoist technique. He did not think that he could find the other party with this item.
However, after deducing that Guan Chaosheng gave him this item, he realized that it was not for him, but for him after he failed to complete the Taoist technique.
In other words, this was a malicious move. If he failed, he would take this item and find the other party. Both parties would hit it off.
Therefore, this item would only be useful if he really failed. Moreover, this item was only a amulet after all. It was impossible to make an accurate judgment. However, this item was the only clue he had. Therefore, he could only give it a try.
With a thought, a white gas floated out from his body. After it landed, Daoist Bai Chun appeared beside him. He had a graceful appearance and stepped on a jade lotus. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and was surrounded by white gas. He glanced at the amulet and smiled. "Daoist friend, do you want me to use this amulet to find Guan Chaosheng?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "There's no harm in giving it a try." The green and white gas still contained the memories of Bai Chun and Qing Shuo. Daoist Qing Shuo was too righteous while Daoist Bai Chun's method was just right.
Daoist Bai Chun smiled and reached out to take the amulet. He said, "Leave this to me." He waved his horsetail whisk and a golden light descended from the sky. After a while, it disappeared. After a while, the scenery in front of him changed and he landed on the Alert Planet where Daoist Xue was.
Back then, Xun Ji gave Zhang Yu a jade amulet. He could use the Yuandu Xuantu to shift his body. He and Zhang Yu were originally one. Naturally, he could use this item.
Daoist Xue sensed the commotion outside and thought that it must be Tianxia. He hurriedly went out to welcome them.
However, when he raised his head and saw Bai Chun standing there, he couldn't help but be stunned. He revealed a cautious expression because Bai Chun's Qi had obviously entered an extremely profound realm. He was at least in the Vajra Realm. He might have even plucked a top-notch achievement.
However, he had never seen this person before.
Shangchen was also separated from Tianxia. Some of his fellow daoists had heard of him even if they had never seen him before. However, they couldn't match this person. Even if he attained Dao later on, with such a cultivation base, it was impossible for him to not show up in the battle with Shangchen. Therefore, with some suspicion, he came forward and bowed. He said, "May I ask how I should address you? Where did you come from? "
Bai Chun smiled and said, "I am Bai Chun. I was asked to come by Xuanting's court steward." He waved his horsetail whisk and a amulet floated over. "Daoist Xue, please take a look."
