Jiao Yao was very tactful and didn't ask any questions about Zhang Yu's concern. He bowed and said, "Ting Zhi, I will pass on your message. It's just that I haven't been in contact with that person before, so I don't know his attitude. I don't know if he will come with me. If there is a conflict …"
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, you just have to pass on my message. If there are any obstacles, you can do whatever you want."
Jiao Yao felt more assured after hearing this. He said yes and left the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. Then, his primordial spirit transformed and returned to his main body hidden in the sky cloud.
He got the message from his primordial spirit. After pondering for a while, he got up and shook his sleeves. He looked down and after a while, he transformed into a doppelganger and flew to a certain place. After a breath, he was standing in front of the spiritual gate that he had been eyeing for a long time.
At this point, his figure disappeared and he walked in.
Strictly speaking, the Spiritual Gate was also a type of living creature. Due to its level, it usually could not allow a cultivator who had plucked a superior achievement to enter. However, this time, Jiao Yao had come here in the form of a shadow. It was only a strand of Qi. Coupled with his brilliant Dao, he was able to pass through smoothly.
In the cave in the depths of the spiritual gate, Daoist Ling finished his cultivation for the day and began to figure out where to go to collect the resources.
Ever since the Divine Kingdom of Russia had cut off all the people and gods they had sent here, he knew that the original plan couldn't be carried out.
This Divine Kingdom was originally the resources they had built for themselves and their masters. They had spent a lot of effort, but now they could only watch it break free from their control and couldn't do anything about it. Because it was very likely that Tianxia was behind it. They knew the difference between the two. In order to protect themselves, they could only endure the pain and ignore it.
Since the method of "cutting down" didn't work, they could only use the method of "combining reality".
However, this was a lot slower, and they could only try to climb one by one. According to the current resources, they would have to wait at least a few years before they had a chance. Moreover, with Tianxia watching closely, they didn't dare to do anything. During this period of time, they were very well-behaved.
He was also thinking that after this period of time, when Tianxia let down his guard against them, he would make a move.
While he was pondering, he suddenly noticed that the formation he had set up outside had been impacted. His expression turned serious as he turned into a beam of light and flew out of the cave to look outside.
However, that feeling seemed to have only lasted for an instant. Looking at it now, the array looked normal, as if it was just an illusion. He walked around the array but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. He was very puzzled.
At his level, he generally wouldn't make a wrong judgment. There must have been some unusual movement just now. He frowned and walked back. However, when he raised his head at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked. He saw an old Daoist standing in the cave with his sleeves behind his back. The old Daoist was sizing up a dragon-shaped decoration at the side.
After his shock, he quickly calmed down and bowed, saying, "May I know which senior has come? This junior has been rude."
Looking at the dragon-shaped jade in front of him, Jiao Yao stroked his beard and said, "This dragon-shaped talisman is something from the Ancient Xia era. It's rarely seen outside. You didn't forget to bring it with you when you transmigrated here. I think you must have used a flood dragon back then."
Daoist Ling hurriedly said, "That senior also volunteered."
"Oh?"
Jiao Yao turned around and said, "From the looks of it, you seem to have known my identity long ago."
Daoist Ling didn't think much of it just now, but as soon as Jiao Yao turned around, he immediately felt a wave of heavy pressure. He maintained his bowing posture, but didn't dare look up at Jiao Yao. He only said, "Senior, this junior's cultivation is insignificant. How could I know who you are?"
Jiao Yao said, "You don't know about me, but you must have heard about me from your teacher. Forget it, this old Daoist won't bully a junior like you, so I'll be frank with you. I'm here today on Xuanting's orders to summon your teacher to Xuanting for an audience. I hope you can pass on this matter promptly. "
Daoist Ling's heart trembled. "This …"
Jiao Yao waved his sleeve. "No need to explain. This old Daoist will be waiting here. Whether you're willing or not, just give me a definite answer quickly."
Daoist Ling knew he couldn't argue in front of this person. This matter wasn't something he could handle, so he bowed his head and said, "Please wait a moment, senior."
Jiao Yao said, "I'll be waiting."
Daoist Ling took a deep breath, then turned around and left the place. He came to another altar in the spirit pass and first offered an offering to summon a god. Then, the figure of a young Daoist appeared in the shadow. He asked, "Senior brother? Why are you in such a hurry to summon me? "
Daoist Ling said in a low voice, "People from Tianxia have come knocking on my door. They're now in my cave residence. This isn't something we can handle, so we can only ask teacher to come forward and resolve it."
When the young Daoist heard this, he was both shocked and anxious. "Senior brother, are you going to expose teacher like this?"
Daoist Ling said, "The fact that they've come knocking means they've already confirmed teacher's existence. There's no way to avoid it this time. It's not convenient for me to get in touch with teacher here, so I'll have to trouble you to do it on my behalf. "
The young Daoist nodded. "Alright, senior brother, please wait a moment. I'll get in touch with teacher right away."
With that, he hurriedly ended his conversation with Daoist Ling and returned to his cave residence. He took out a Daoist statue, placed it on the altar, and bowed. Before long, a ball of light emerged, revealing the vague figure of a Daoist who asked, "What's the matter?"
The young Daoist hurriedly said, "Teacher, people from Tianxia have come knocking on senior brother's door. They say that Tianxia wants to see teacher. From senior brother's words, the person seems to be the one teacher mentioned before."
When the figure heard this, it couldn't help but flicker a few times. After a while, it said, "I'm not going to see him. I'll let him send them away himself. "
The young Daoist's heart sank. He said with difficulty, "Then this disciple will reply to senior brother like this?"
The figure said coldly, "That's it."
But at this moment, everything suddenly paused. Jiao Yao walked out of nothingness. Moreover, he didn't stop walking. He directly walked towards the figure. The light on his body was like a stream of water. In a split second, it merged with the light qi around the figure. Then, his figure stopped and came to a spacious and solemn cave residence.
He casually sized up a few times. Looking at the Daoist with long black hair and skin as white as jade, he said unhurriedly, "Fellow Daoist, although you've hidden well, it's still easy for me to find you."
The Daoist with long hair said coldly, "Exalted Jiao, I recognize you. You're not Tianxia's slave. Why do you have to be so overbearing and merciless?"
Jiao Yao chuckled. "I'm just doing what I've been asked to do. If I can't invite you, I won't be able to explain it to Zhang Tingzhi. In order to not be reprimanded by Zhang Tingzhi, I can only let you suffer a little. "
The Daoist with long hair was silent for a while. Light flashed on his body, and a primordial spirit that was overflowing with light floated out. He raised his head and said, "I'll go with you."
Jiao Yao looked at him and nodded. He only wanted this person to go with him to Xuanting. His primordial spirit would be fine. He was very clear about where the line was.
He said, "Then, please follow me. Don't let Zhang Tingzhi wait too long." He called in his heart. Suddenly, a golden light fell and covered the two of them. In the next moment, the golden light dispersed. They appeared in front of Shouzheng's palace.
The deity on duty in front of the door bowed and said, "Supreme Jiao and Supreme Xuan, please enter the palace. Zhang Tingzhi is already waiting for you inside."
Jiao Yao thanked him and brought the primordial spirit of the Daoist with long hair inside. Soon, they arrived at the main palace. He bowed and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, I've brought him here."
Zhang Yu looked at the primordial spirit of the Daoist with long hair and said to Jiao Yao, "Daoist Jiao, I'll have to trouble you. Please wait outside."
Jiao Yao bowed again and retreated from the palace.
Zhang Yu looked at the Daoist with long hair again and said, "I'm sure Daoist Jiao has told you my identity. How should I address you?"
The Daoist with long hair said, "Zhang Tingzhi, you can call me 'Zhiji'."
Zhang Yu said, "I've asked you to come here today because of your Dao. During the time of God Xia, he had decreed that the method of 'Spirit Nourishment and Extermination' was forbidden. We, Tian Xia, have inherited God Xia's legacy and moved to this world. What you have done in the past can be forgiven, but from today onwards, you are not allowed to use such cruel methods.
Daoist Zhiji raised his head and said, "I know Tianxia's prohibition is this method. However, Tianxia's prohibition is to use the prohibition method on the people of Tianxia. My method is used on the bodies of the natives and the gods of the natives. I've also helped you kill many of the enemy gods. Tianxia doesn't care about my good and wants to ban my method. Tianxia prides himself on being the most law-abiding. Isn't this a little too unreasonable?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You know very well that you don't use the people of Tianxia. It's not that you don't want to use them. It's because Tianxia is powerful that you have to avoid them. In your eyes, there's no difference between the people of Tianxia and the natives of this world. They're all your resources."
He looked at Daoist Zhiji and said, "You didn't do it in the past not because you didn't want to, but because you didn't dare to. However, if Tianxia is weak, you won't care about these things at all. Moreover, do you dare to say that the God of Tianji that the Tenki-in Hall believes in has nothing to do with you? "
Daoist Zhiji was silent for a moment before he said, "Then what does Tianxia want me to do?"
Zhang Yu said, "If you're willing to follow the rules, Tianxia won't end the path of cultivation. You can still use the Spirit Devouring Method in the future. You can only devour evil enemies. You're not allowed to cultivate your spirit anymore. There are countless evil gods on this land. It's enough for you to devour."
Daoist Zhiji didn't reply immediately. He raised his head and said, "Can I go back and think about this matter?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll give you two days. If you don't reply by the day after tomorrow, I'll take it that you refuse."
Daoist Zhiji didn't say anything more. He bowed and left without saying a word.
