When Zhang Yu saw that Ji Zhi had left, he ordered the deity in Shouzheng's palace to call Jiao Yao in and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, I need to trouble you with something."
Jiao Yao said, "Deacon Ting, if there's anything you need, just let me know."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, please come down and keep an eye on this person. If he tries to escape or does anything extreme, you can decide to take him down."
Jiao Yao felt helpless, knowing that he couldn't escape this trouble in the end, but he didn't think it would take much effort to deal with Daoist Ji, so he said, "Just leave it to me." After receiving the order, he turned around and left the hall.
At this moment, a wisp of green gas suddenly drifted out from Zhang Yu's body. After he landed on the ground, Daoist Qing Shuo appeared from it. He stood in the hall and said with a serious expression, "The methods of discipline seem to be exterminating gods, but those gods are actually living in the bodies of humans. There are layers of oppression, and no matter if it's a god or a human, they are all treated as pufferfish that can be slaughtered.
Moreover, this method doesn't require the painstaking effort of ordinary cultivators to polish their Dao. This is an evil Dao. Once it spreads, I'm afraid there will be endless poison. Back then, Shen Xia banning this method was the correct decision. "
Zhang Yu nodded. This method seemed to only target a few faith gods and had nothing to do with others. But where did such a god come from? In the end, he still had to rely on others to worship him.
However, the people who sought this method would not guide and pacify them. Instead, the stronger the god, the better. As for how they would act, whether they were good or evil, it was not within their scope of consideration at all. In this way, they would need to exert even greater pressure on the living creatures at the bottom, making them sacrifice even more living creatures or expand outwards. They would definitely walk on a path of blood and fire.
And this method only needed believers, regardless of their identity. Whether the believers were natives or Tianxia people, there was no difference. In the eyes of the believers, they were all livestock to be harvested.
More importantly, this path was too convenient. As long as you were a cultivator, you could switch to this path midway. You didn't need to painstakingly polish your skills. You only needed to focus on cultivating your spirit to obtain power. If a cultivator was used to taking shortcuts, it would be impossible for them to cultivate properly.
He said, "But this method doesn't necessarily have no restrictions."
The crux of how to use the method depended on the person, especially this kind of method that had not a real upper realm powerhouse. it. It's not like the Huanyang school's method. No matter how the later generations cultivated, as long as they could reach the upper realm, their Dao will would definitely be compatible with the method, and it, and could not be changed..
As long as it was improved and restricted to a certain extent, it was still possible to lead it to the right path. It was also because of this reason that he didn't nail him to death the moment he came up.
Daoist Qing Shuo said, "Then how do you plan to restrain them?"
Qing Shuo and Bai Ran were the same person, but also not the same person. Both of them could cultivate on their own and had their own ideas. It was just that their spirit, Qi, and Dao were similar to his. Therefore, in the eyes of the upper realm cultivators, no matter how they looked at it, they were the same person. But from another point of view, they could also be seen as fellow Daoists who supported each other.
The communication between them could be transmitted through telepathy or expressed verbally. It was all up to Zhang Yu to decide. He believed that if he were to rely on himself to constantly influence them, it would be tantamount to weakening their potential. Therefore, in non-emergency situations, he would often use the method of equal verbal communication.
Zhang Yu said, "There are thousands of methods in the world, but there are also broad and narrow ones. I think we can follow Tianxia's law and use it as a basis. Therefore, I asked the person to report to Tianxia before he devours. As long as this person is willing to comply, he can be let go."
Daoist Qing Shuo thought about it carefully and nodded. If he could combine the laws of Tianxia with this, it would be a good idea.
Because you can't hope to eliminate all evil thoughts and evil deeds. As long as there was a way to redeem those who fell into depravity, and this method could be guaranteed to be carried out, then it could be maintained.
Just like a boat on water, one couldn't expect the boat to be undamaged. However, if there were leaks and damages that were discovered in time and repaired, then the people on the boat could still continue to sail. The most frightening thing was that everyone turned a blind eye to it. Then, the holes would become bigger and bigger, and in the end, the boat would sink.
He said, "Fellow Daoist is willing to give people a chance, but some people may not be willing to accept this kindness."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Killing without teaching is called torture. The opportunity is given, and the choice is up to the person."
At this moment, Ji Zhi's Primordial Spirit returned to his body and knew everything. His expression was gloomy. The rules that Tianxia set for him were no doubt to let him give up the many benefits that he had obtained. It even affected his request for Dao techniques from the upper realm.
However, if he didn't comply, Tianxia would come down with thunderous means, and he would lose his life.
Moreover …
He looked outside and saw that Jiao Yao was standing in the clouds above without any concealment. It was obvious that he was monitoring him. If he showed any intention of refusing, Xuanting would immediately let this person attack him.
At this moment, the only choice left seemed to be to act under Tianxia's restrictions.
He sat on the futon and fell into deep thought. After a long time, his eyes moved because he suddenly thought of something.
Tianxia had been paying attention to him, and he had also been paying attention to Tianxia. He noticed that in recent days, Tianxia seemed to be preparing something. In particular, he increased the number of armaments, including a series of actions against him. All of them proved that Tianxia was going to deal with some kind of opponent, so he needed to do these things.
He thought that it was because of this that Tianxia would temporarily adopt a tolerant attitude towards him.
If that was the case, Tianxia actually wanted to appease him and not let him come out to make trouble, so he wouldn't pay attention to him for a long time. If he was willing to make an agreement, then he would definitely shift his attention elsewhere.
If that was the case, he had a plan. Although it was a little risky, he was unwilling to give up the path he wanted to take, so he decided to give it a try.
After pondering for a long time, with a shift of his mind, layers upon layers of restrictive formations were activated, sealing off the entire cave dwelling.
Jiao Yao saw his actions from outside, but as long as he didn't run away, it was fine. As for what he was going to do, he didn't care and didn't want to care. He just needed to wait for his reply in two days.
Two days passed quickly. As the formation outside the cave was removed, Daoist Ji Zhi walked out. He looked at Jiao Yao in the sky and said, "Venerable Jiao."
Jiao Yao looked down and said, "It seems that you've made your decision."
Daoist Ji Zhi said, "I've thought about it for two days, and I'm willing to comply with Zhang Tingzhi's conditions. But I don't like Xuanting either, so I don't want to go there anymore. Just bring me the contract, and I'll make the contract. "
Jiao Yao looked at him. He guessed that this action might have some purpose. However, as long as this person didn't immediately turn hostile, he didn't need to care too much. He just needed to pass on this message. He chuckled and said, "Fine, this old Daoist will work a little harder and pass on a message for Fellow Daoist."
He took out a magic seal and communicated with Yuandu Xuantu. Then, he passed on Ji Ji Daoist's words word for word.
In Shouzheng's palace, Zhang Yu immediately received this message. Daoist Qing Shuo said, "Why don't I make this trip?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you."
Taoist Qing Shuo waved the jade ruler in his hand. A golden light fell from the sky, and enveloped his entire body. Then, he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already at the lower level. He was right in front of Taoist Ji's abode.
He glanced at Taoist Ji Daoist and didn't say anything. He waved his big sleeve, and a shining golden contract floated to Taoist Ji Daoist. He said, "The contract is here. Please sign your name."
Taoist Jiao Yao stood at the side calmly.
Taoist Ji Daoist took the contract and glanced at it. There weren't many words on it. It was just the few conditions that Zhang Yu had set. He had already made up his mind, so he didn't hesitate much. First, he used his finger as a pen to write his name. Then, he took out his seal and stamped it. Then, he passed it up.
Taoist Qing Shuo took the contract and glanced at it. Then, he threw it down again and said, "Please sign your name."
Taoist Ji Daoist said in surprise, "Didn't I already sign my name?"
Taoist Qing Shuo looked at him with a serious expression and said, "What you want to sign is your own name. Do you think I can't see it?"
After Taoist Ji Daoist heard this, his expression couldn't help but change. He said dejectedly, "So you've already seen through it?"
This time, he had indeed played tricks. It might be possible for him to give up on the Art of Spiritual Cultivation for a while, but he certainly wouldn't give it up forever.
But he thought of a way that might be able to avoid it.
Because he wasn't the real Taoist Ji Daoist.
The Art of Spirit Nurturing and Spirit Refining was not foolproof. Every time he swallowed an Outer God, he didn't swallow it as crudely as outsiders imagined. Instead, he first guided the Outer God and let the Outer God swallow him and take the initiative to integrate himself into it. Then, he operated the Taoist technique and tried to merge the two into one. It was just that he had to go through a battle every time. Once he lost, he would be replaced by the Outer God.
And in the last battle, it was Taoist Ji Daoist who lost to him. So now, he was actually an Outer God who had obtained all of Taoist Ji Daoist's experience and memories. He could now use Taoist Ji Daoist's technique and follow his path, but he wasn't the real Taoist Ji Daoist.
He had his own name.
He originally wanted to imprint Taoist Ji Daoist's name on the contract paper and fool him. But he didn't expect that this person's Taoist technique was so profound that he could see through him at a glance.
Helpless, he could only take the contract paper that floated down again and leave his own name on it. Then, he used his blood to replace his seal. He dropped it on it and presented it again.
Taoist Qing Shuo took it and glanced at it. Then, with a shake of his hand, he threw the contract paper down again and said, "Please leave your name seal."
Taoist Ji Daoist took the contract paper and looked down. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Sir, is there anything wrong? This humble Taoist definitely didn't conceal it this time. "
Taoist Qing Shuo looked at him and said slowly, "You indeed didn't conceal it. It's just that you've been concealed." As he spoke, he raised his sleeve. The jade ruler in his hand suddenly shone and struck down.
