After the sects of Huanyang and Shangchen fled to the other side, they used the Cymbidium Lucidum to open up a lot of airspace for their own use. The four sects were not located in the same area, they were all connected by the Cymbidium Lucidum.
Originally, the four sects had different paths, each with their own differences. However, with the threat of Tianxia outside, none of the four sects dared to separate, because only by working together could they resist Tianxia.
Huanyang school's Refining Space and Solar Tribulation actually had a conflict with the Cymbidium Lucidum's Qi. Apart from this, the two sects were also in conflict. Otherwise, Tianxia wouldn't have joined forces with Shangchen to expel Huanyang school.
As a result, Huanyang school's current location was located at the furthest end of the airspace opened up by the Cymbidium Lucidum. It was on one side of Shangchen. On the surface, they didn't interfere with each other, but in reality, because Shangchen's strength wasn't enough, it was already half attached to Huanyang school.
At this moment, within the airspace of Huanyang school, the Refining Space and Solar Tribulation hung high in the sky. The surrounding area was desolate and empty, as if the Solar Tribulation was the only thing that existed.
This was to be expected. Even if it was a place that was abnormally rich and fertile, the moment the Huanyang Sect arrived, they would immediately devour everything. Once everything was cleanly taken away, they would change to another realm and repeat their previous actions. From the perspective of the path of Dao, this action would only end when all living things were annihilated.
In the past, they would be more restrained in their actions, because after being chased away by Tianxia, they could only wander around aimlessly, and they weren't sure whether the next place they went to had suitable resources or not.
However, now that they had the Cymbidium Lucidum, it was much easier to find another airspace. Even if they couldn't find a suitable one, they could temporarily open up an airspace for them to live in. That was why they did this without any restraints.
Furthermore, after the battle between Huanyang school and Tianxia, two of the hosts who had obtained the best results had been defeated, and they urgently needed to promote a new host from among the elders. However, it was not that easy to obtain high-grade fruits of merit. Putting aside the fact that one's cultivation base had to pass a certain level, one would also need more resources. Feeding Void Refinement and Yang Tribulation Realm cultivators was the prerequisite.
Under the Space Refinement Realm and Yang Tribulation Realm, there were rays of light floating about. The multicolored light was like ribbons, revolving and moving into the distance. Sitting on top of the ribbons were cultivators from Huanyang school. However, the top and bottom of the ribbons were clearly distinguished, as the ribbons descended according to their cultivation level.
At the bottom of the ray of light, which was almost the end, there was a Daoist who was meditating with his eyes closed. His eyes would occasionally roll under his eyelids as if he was sensing something.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He opened his eyes and looked up. He saw a long branch rising from the void. His face lit up with joy. He reached out and grasped it. His body shook as he retrieved his memory.
He sat there for a long time to sort out his emotions before he stood up. A cloud of light rose and headed towards the Solar Kalpa Realm in the sky.
He parted the layers of light and entered the depths of the Solar Kalpa Realm. There, he saw a Black Vine Couch. Guan Chaosheng was leaning against it with half of his head propped up. Beside him was a barnacle that never left his side. Beyond it were wisps of Solar Kalpa Realm aura that swayed endlessly like countless tentacles.
The Daoist seemed to be extremely afraid of the Solar Kalpa Realm aura. He did not dare to go forward. He only bowed his head in the distance and said, "Supreme one, I've gone to investigate clearly."
He raised his head and looked at Guan Chaosheng. When he saw that Guan Chaosheng had not moved from his seat and was only pointing at a certain part of the aura, he immediately understood what Guan Chaosheng meant. He turned his head around and focused his gaze on the aura. Instantly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, but he endured it and allowed his memory to enter that part of the aura.
Once he was done, he did not dare to act rashly without orders. He only stood there with his head lowered. After a while, he heard a nonchalant voice from above. "Alright, you may leave."
The Daoist let out a huge sigh of relief. He bowed and left in the form of light.
At that moment, Guan Chaosheng stood up. He took a few steps forward and looked into the aura. He saw everything the Daoist saw when he went out.
Through his observations, Tianxia did not seem to be much different from the last time he saw him. He did not see any signs of a large scale military force being mobilized. He also did not hear any information about any plans to search for them in Xuanfu or the military headquarters. Everything seemed to be very peaceful.
His gaze was somewhat deep. From the looks of it, could it be that the disappearance of his aura had really happened as he had expected?
When he left the plate to Zhang Yu, it was just as Zhang Yu had expected. There was indeed a malicious intent in his actions.
He believed that with Zhang Yu's talent, since he had already obtained the best results, then he would definitely try to complete the Dao Art in the future. There was also a ninety percent chance that he would choose the "best method".
If Zhang Yu passed this test, then there would be nothing to say. Huanyang school would have another powerful enemy in the future. However, if Zhang Yu was killed by his own "best self", then it would be different.
In the world of Dao, it was "from nothing to something". It was born from the "best self". If the "best self" was lost, then it would return to the beginning, never to be seen again.
However, everything had a chance of survival. If Zhang Yu had the plate on him and was killed by his "best self", then if the Daoist could successfully obtain the plate, he could use the strand of Yang Kalpa Qi he left in the plate to maintain his body. He could use this to temporarily prevent himself from falling.
The plate did not look strange on the surface, but it was actually refined from a part of the Yang Kalpa Qi. That was why it could still extract the aura he left in the air.
At that time, the plate would form some sort of resonance with the Yang Kalpa Qi. If he could sense it, then he could sacrifice a certain amount to activate the Yang Kalpa Qi. He could use the chance of absorbing the aura to bring Zhang Yu's "best self" over.
This was because the corruption of the "best self" would always exist, and it could not be dispelled. It could only be broken through to the "best self" state. If it wanted to exist for a long time, then it could not do so without the help of the Yang Kalpa Qi. If that was the case, then he could use it for himself.
During the battle in the air, he had an unusually deep impression of Zhang Yu's fighting ability. The "best self" that could kill Zhang Yu was undoubtedly even better. If he could control such a person, then Huanyang school's strength would definitely increase greatly.
Even if he did not do that, he could still think of a way to devour the spirit of Zhang Yu's "best self" and use it to strengthen his own Dao. He could also improve his cultivation.
However, all of these were just the best ideas. It was not as if he did not have a way to confirm whether or not it was true. This time, he had asked the Perfected One from his school to go to Tianxia and take a look around the air. On one hand, it was to investigate the current situation in Tianxia as evidence. On the other hand, it was to buy time to confirm this matter.
At that moment, he called out to the disciple on duty below. Not long after, Elder Shu Sun from his school came to the air and bowed to him. He said, "Greetings, Venerable One."
Guan Chaosheng asked, "Elder Shu Sun, have the elders obtained any results from the divination this time?"
Elder Shu Sun replied, "Venerable One, we have the results. After the divination, the one holding the plate seems to be the original owner, but also not the original owner. The omen is really strange."
Guan Chaosheng's eyes flickered. It seemed to be the original owner, but not the original owner. With such an omen, it was possible that it was the "best self". The elders had not reached this state, so they did not understand this. Only he, who had also sought the "best self", knew. He said in a low voice, "Are you sure that no one has obscured the mysteries of heaven?"
Elder Shu Sun was very sure. He said, "When we were doing the divination, Tianxia did not obscure or conceal the mysteries of heaven. The result of this divination will not be wrong."
Guan Chaosheng did not ask any more questions. He waved his sleeve and said, "Elder Shu Sun, you may leave." Elder Shu Sun bowed and left.
Guan Chaosheng, on the other hand, was still pondering. He still had some misgivings because once Zhang Yu failed to complete his Taoism, there would be no one left in the world. Everything about him would slowly fade from the memories of the people of Tianxia, but he still remembered this person.
However, there was an explanation here. That was, even if Zhang Yu immediately sought the best self after they left, it had not been long. Based on his past actions, he would not be forgotten by the world immediately. He needed time to slowly operate the mysteries of heaven to erase his traces.
In view of this, waiting for a while was undoubtedly the most appropriate thing.
However, before he left Tianxia, he did not leave much of his Qi. If the "Upper Self" really existed, once it exhausted its Qi, it would disappear and it would be difficult to bring it back.
How strong was the "Upper Self" that could eliminate Zhang Yu? If he could take it under his command, he would even dare to face off against Tianxia. He did not want to give it up.
However, what if Tianxia was one step ahead and calculated all of this?
He thought about it again, but in the end, he still decided to use the Receiving Technique.
He had this consideration because regardless of whether the person who was brought here had a problem or not, it was impossible for him to fight against all of them together. It was even more impossible for him to suppress the Space Refining and the Yang Tribulation. If there was something wrong, he could just kill him directly. On the contrary, he could prove that Tianxia was playing tricks and was plotting against them.
If that was the case, he could directly order Shangchen to operate the Cymbidium Lucidum and open up a new world, taking them away.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and ordered the disciple on duty below, "Please invite Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Xian Ding to come here."
The disciple on duty went down to pass the order. After a while, Daoist Xian Ding and Li Mizhen both arrived on a rainbow. However, no one from Shangchen came. The main reason was that after Shangchen, Gu Yangzi, and Li Mizhen were defeated or killed, no one else was able to pick up the superior merit fruit. Naturally, there was no need to care about their opinions. Moreover, would Shangchen dare to disagree with the decision made by the three of them?
After greeting the two, Guan Chaosheng said, "Just now, the fellow disciples I sent to investigate Tianxia have returned. On the surface, Tianxia looks normal."
Daoist Xian Ding questioned, "I was just about to ask Fellow Daoist Guan, why did you suddenly send someone back to investigate? Wouldn't this expose our hiding place?"
Guan Chaosheng said, "I didn't want to say it just now, but now I can say it. Before I left, I gave Tianxia, Shouzheng, and Zhang Yu a token." He looked at Li Mizhen and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you also saw it."
Li Mizhen said, "Yes, it's true. This old Daoist also saw it."
Guan Chaosheng continued, "I deliberately gave this token to someone else. It's not without reason. When Tianxia wants to deal with us, then the simplest way is to start with the token.
Once this token triggers the Qi movement, it will be known to me. Previously, I noticed this change and was afraid that there would be a change. Therefore, I didn't discuss it with you in detail and sent someone to investigate. "
Of course, he wouldn't reveal his true intentions. If things went well and he got the help of that person, the two wouldn't dare to say anything. They would only say that they did a good job. However, if things went wrong, they would still have to face Tianxia. The result would be the same whether he said it or not.
Li Mizhen said, "Fellow Daoist Guan's method is brilliant. If Fellow Daoist didn't use the token, Tianxia could still find us. When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be prepared. Instead, we can detect it first and have a prediction. However, Tianxia looks normal on the surface, maybe it's a cover-up. We still need to be careful. "
Daoist Xian Ding didn't say anything.
Guan Chaosheng said, "Fellow Daoist Li's words are reasonable. Tianxia is very likely to be plotting against me. Therefore, we need to be prepared to leave in advance. Now, please go back and make your preparations."
Li Mizhen and Daoist Xian Ding bowed and left the Solar Retribution, returning to where they came from.
At this moment, Daoist Xian Ding transmitted his voice to Li Mizhen, "Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Guan didn't tell us the truth just now. He's hiding something from us."
Li Mizhen said, "It's strange that he tells us everything. However, he wouldn't create trouble for no reason. This time, it's very likely that Tianxia is really going to attack. It's better that we prepare to leave as soon as possible."
