Daoist Bai Zun bestowed the mystical rations and returned to the upper level. Zhang Yu knew that the matter was settled and looked at the map on the wall of the hall.
Now, the internal and external matters were almost settled. Generally speaking, the only remaining matter in the inner level was some unknown mystical matters from the previous era. This could not be fully understood in a short period of time, so there was no need to bother about it. The next thing to do was to wait for Chief Steward Zhuang to succeed.
A radiance flashed in the hall and Ming Zhou came to his side.
Zhang Yu did not turn his head and said, "What's the matter?"
Ming Zhou said, "Steward Ting, Cheng You Sect's two Venerables have arrived at the outer level, so Steward Feng went to welcome them."
Zhang Yu said, "I know."
Cheng You Sect's official letter of visit was sent to Tianxia a few days ago, but only arrived today. This time, Daoist Bi did not come alone, but together with the true leader of Cheng You Sect, Shan Xiang, came to visit.
Tianxia attached great importance to this matter. Since Cheng You Sect had an agreement with Tianxia, then when Yuan Xia came, they would have to face the enemy together.
Even if they did not consider the many Mystique Venerables in the Secluded Sect, just the addition of two cultivators who had plucked top-notch achievements in their formation would be an additional force to fight against Yuan Xia.
At this moment, in Tianxia's outer quarters, Daoist Dan and Daoist Bi were traveling on a flying boat. They did not directly enter the upper level of Tianxia, but under the accompaniment of Daoist Feng, they circled around Tianxia's twenty-eight outer quarters.
As Daoist Dan looked around, he saw heavenly cities of various sizes floating in the sky. On the earth that they protected, there were strong military fortresses everywhere. Apart from that, there were also many people. They did not look like people who could be casually oppressed by the sects. Flying boats came and went frequently from place to place, looking very prosperous.
He sighed and said, "Tianxia is able to have such defensive power, but it is not obtained by oppressing the people. It is indeed fulfilling Tianxia's original wish."
Daoist Feng smiled without saying anything.
Daoist Bi said, "Feng Tingzhi, I heard that the scenery in the inner layer is much better than the inner layer. I wonder if we have the chance to visit it?"
Daoist Feng smiled and said, "Your sect is my Tianxia's ally. Tianxia will naturally not reject the two of you. If the two of you are interested, I can arrange it after meeting the court enforcers."
Daoist Dan said cheerfully, "Then it's settled."
At this moment, Daoist Feng looked up and saw a ray of light shining down. He said, "Please, the deacons are already waiting for you."
Daoist Dan bowed and said, "Feng Ting Zhi, please lead the way."
After Daoist Feng bowed, he steered the flying boat into the light. When the boat disappeared, the light retracted, leaving only an empty void.
As soon as Daoist Shan felt the golden light enveloping his body, he could not help but have a feeling that something was wrong. He thought, "Sure enough, it is Yuandu Pai's Yuandu Xuantu. Looks like Yuandu Pai has also merged into Tianxia. "
In fact, when Shen Xia appeared, he already knew that such a day would come. Shen Xia was all-embracing and had endless potential. When it was time for Tianxia, Huanyang and Shanghai could only join forces to resist. They had no choice but to follow Tianxia to New Heaven. At that time, he thought that these two sects would not be able to join forces.
He originally thought that it would take a long time. He did not expect that in just three to four hundred years, Tianxia had completed the great undertaking of swallowing all the sects.
Just as he was thinking, the golden light in front of him dispersed. He saw that the flying boat had already landed on a sea of clouds that was filled with clear air. Further down, there was a boundless land.
At that moment, his entire body was bathed in the clear air. Even with his cultivation, he felt refreshed. His entire body was lively and his vitality was rising. He sighed and thought to himself, "With such a land, it would be hard for Tianxia not to be strong."
The flying boat sped forward. The sea of clouds rolled. Before the boat traveled far, the sound of a bell was heard. The sea of clouds in front of them dispersed and a majestic Daoist hall emerged from the light. On the cloud stairs in front of the hall, the court attendants of Tianxia were already there to welcome them. The one in front was the head attendant Chen Yu. Behind him were Zhang Yu and Wu Qingxu. Behind them were the rest of the court attendants of Xuanting.
Daoist Shan looked over. There were a few familiar faces. He turned to Daoist Bi and said, "Tianxia has inherited Shen Xia. However, looking at the scene today, Shen Xia is far inferior to Tianxia."
Along the way, Daoist Bi had made a judgment in his heart. He said sincerely, "Regardless of whether it was during Gu Xia or Shen Xia, there was no such scene."
To be honest, when the two of them saw the twenty-eight celestial mansions, although there was a Xuan Zun incarnation guarding each of the mansions, they did not feel anything. This was because Shangchen, Huanyang and their Cheng You Sect all had twenty to thirty Xuan Zun incarnations. This was nothing. It was reasonable for Tianxia to have such a performance. In addition to the inner layer guarding, it matched the strength that Tianxia should have.
However, looking at the court attendants on the upper layer, it felt different. Apart from Daoist Feng, almost all of the ten or so court enforcers were Daoist cultivators with Void Vassal fruits or above. And these were not Daoist cultivators who had plucked the best fruits in Tianxia. From Feng Ting Zhi's words, apart from cultivation, one also needed to have a certain amount of merit to sit on this position.
According to him, Tianxia had a few more Xuan Zun incarnations in the past ten years. This showed how deep Tianxia's foundation was.
Daoist Dan thought even more. Tianxia was so powerful, yet they still had to be on guard against the incoming enemy. They even had to deal with the small sects on the fringes. It could be seen how much importance they attached to the incoming enemy. This was closer to his conjecture.
At this moment, in front of the Hall of Boat Travel, he and Daoist Bi disembarked from the boat. They walked to the cloud stairs and took the initiative to bow to everyone. They said, "Greetings, Daoist friends from Tianxia."
Zhu Ting Zhi also bowed and said, "Greetings, Daoist friends."
Daoist Shan straightened his body and raised his head to look at Chen Yu. He said, "Daoist friend Chen, long time no see. The last time we met, it should have been a thousand years, but it feels like it was just yesterday."
Chief Attendant Chen nodded and said, "A thousand years, although you and I are still around, we have changed many things. From what I can see, Daoist Shan's achievements have already reached a high level. "
Daoist Shan shook his head and said, "I can only save myself and not others. I can't be compared to you."
The reason why Cheng You Sect avoided the world and people was to avoid being tainted by the world and to smoothly pass the upper layer.
However, just like what he said, achieving the Dao was only to save oneself. It had nothing to do with others and was not beneficial to anyone. On the contrary, Tianxia was able to create more people to enter and seek the Dao. He was actually very impressed with this.
Chen Yu spoke a few words with him outside the door and introduced Tianxia's attendants to him. He then took a step to the side and raised his hand to invite them in. He said, "Daoist friends, please come in."
Daoist Shan also invited them in and entered the hall together with Daoist Bi. When they sat down inside, they naturally couldn't avoid talking about the past and discussing the Dao. After talking for half a day, Chen Yu ordered the attendants to leave. Only he, Zhang Yu, and Wu Qingxu sat there to greet the duo.
At this moment, some things could be said.
Chen Yu said, "Daoist Shan, your agreement to attack and defend this time was slightly out of my expectations."
Daoist Shan said with a serious expression, "Because I know that your side didn't speak nonsense. When my mind was wandering in the void, whenever I wanted to pry into the mysteries of the upper layer, the Dao of Seclusion warned me. This can be verified with your side's words. However, where did the great enemy of the world come from? Can Tianxia reveal a thing or two? "
Chen Yu said, "It's not convenient to say where it came from. You can stay in the upper layer for a few days and you'll know."
Daoist Shan pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine too." Back then, when Zhang Yu came, he told them that there were only about ten days left before the enemy would attack. Counting the days, it should be about time. When the time came, they would know the answer.
After that, both sides stopped talking about this matter and started to talk about superior Dao techniques. After the discussion ended, Chen Yu asked Daoist Feng to arrange a place for the duo to stay.
After the duo left, Chen Yu didn't ask Zhang Yu and Wu Qingxu to leave. Instead, he waved his sleeve and the entire Dao Palace instantly sank from the sea of clouds into the depths of the Clear Sky Boat.
After the boat landed, Chen Yu said, "I sensed Daoist Zhuang's Qi activity just now. He'll be breaking through in the next one or two days. The three of us will have to stay here to guard against any mishaps." After he finished speaking, he called out again, "Where's Ming Zhou?"
Ming Zhou appeared beside him and said, "Head Attendant, do you have any instructions?"
Chen Yu said, "Pass down my order to all attendants. From now on, you'll have to stay in your respective Dao Palaces. You're not allowed to leave without orders. Everything else will continue as usual. "
Daoist Ming Zhou cupped his hands and solemnly accepted the order and left.
At this moment, Chen Yu pointed at the bottom of his body. Qi of light floated and illuminated all the continents inside and outside Tianxia. The thirteen upper continents, the four prefectures, the twenty-eight outer continents, and the four roaming continents were all displayed.
Zhang Yu looked over and saw that every continent's location was displayed clearly in front of him. With a slight focus, he could see the details. He could see that outside the Four Heavens, there was a layer of transparent Qi film like the atmosphere that enveloped all the layers inside and outside. This was the formation set up by the deacons. As long as an enemy appeared, Tianxia would be able to sense it immediately.
The three of them sat there and didn't speak to each other.
After a day, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a mysterious feeling. It was like when he came into contact with the Seal of the Great Dao, he climbed up along the tentacles of the Great Dao and came into contact with a lofty land. However, the difference was that climbing up was an act of initiative. At this moment, it felt like the lofty land was sinking down.
He suddenly realized that Chief Enforcer Zhuang was trying to break through to the upper realm!
At this moment, the mysterious feeling changed again. It was as if something in the entire world was being separated. In his eyes, everything in the world seemed to be collapsing.
This was a reflection in advance. However, if there was no power to stop it, then at some point in time, all of this would really happen. However, in the next moment, the perception suddenly became empty. It was as if everything in the world had disappeared completely in an instant.
This disappearance didn't only affect everything in the world. It also affected one's self and even one's own cognition. He instinctively held onto the Seal of the Origin and protected himself. However, all of this happened very quickly. Just as he thought about it, all of his cognition returned and he regained his consciousness.
When everything calmed down, he opened his eyes. Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu were still sitting there. Everything in the outside world looked normal and nothing seemed to have changed. However, in the residual perception, it was as if everything in the world had been born and destroyed once.
Chen Yu said slowly, "Daoist Zhuang has already achieved the upper realm and is now a Attendant."
Wu Qingxu seemed to have thought of something. He focused his gaze and turned to look at the protective formation. However, after staring for a long time, he didn't discover anything. He said in a low voice, "Did Yuan Xia make any moves?"
Zhang Yu was also observing. At this moment, his heart trembled slightly. He could feel that the Yuandu Talisman that Xun Ji gave him had inexplicably changed.
