Zhang Yu ignored Huo Heng's words of recruitment and only said, "This time, I was entrusted by Xuanting to come here. I only have a few words with you."
Huo Heng's expression turned serious. "Oh? I think there must be something important. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please speak. "
Zhang Yu flicked his finger, and a talisman appeared and floated towards Huo Heng. A murky aura surged in front of the latter and dissolved the talisman. As a gloomy aura appeared in his eyes, he immediately knew the whole story.
At this moment, he was also slightly surprised. "There's such a thing?" He nodded and said, "Transforming the heavens and killing one. That's a good method."
Zhang Yu said, "Now that this otherworldly enemy is about to arrive, if he comes to my world, he will know that the Great Chaos is where the change is. Therefore, I, Tianxia, want to cover it up, and I need your cooperation."
Huo Heng stood there with his sleeves behind his back and said slowly, "Actually, it's easy for you to avoid Yuan Xia. I see that many of Tianxia's fellow Daoists are people of the Dao. If you all enter the Great Chaos, then you naturally don't have to fear Yuan Xia."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "There's no need to say such words. You don't have to probe. There's no compromise between Tianxia and Yuan Xia. Only one of the two families can survive. No matter what happened in the past, the Great Chaos and Tianxia are both resisting and involved. Therefore, if you want to destroy Tianxia, the Great Chaos will also be destroyed. Helping me is also helping yourself. "
Huo Heng said slowly, "But I might be able to make the people of Yuan Xia enter my Dao."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You might be able to lure a few people into this Dao, but you know that it's impossible for Yuan Xia to break up because of this. As long as Yuan Xia is there, everything in this world will be destroyed. Even the Great Chaos won't be able to escape. You should understand the logic behind this."
Yuan Xia pursued an extremely conservative strategy. In order to not increase the number of variables, any mistakes had to be eliminated. No variables were allowed to exist in this strategy. How could they not care about the Great Chaos, the biggest variable? If he wasn't involved with Tianxia, it would be fine. But now that he was involved, he had to kill him completely.
Huo Heng looked at him and said, "I can cooperate with Tianxia to cover up this matter, but that's all I can do. Tianxia needs to know that it's impossible for the Great Chaos to remain unchanged. I can't restrict what choices it will make in the future or what changes it will make."
Zhang Yu understood. The Big Chaos was a chaotic place, and any changes were possible. If it could be suppressed, then it would be an orderly change. This would go against the Big Chaos. Hence, although Tianxia had brought the Big Chaos to one place, he could not avoid being affected by it. As for how to suppress it, that would depend on Tianxia's means.
However, their common enemy was Yuan Xia, so they could put this matter aside for the time being. Hence, he said, "That's enough."
Huo Heng said in a low voice, "Yuan Xia, interesting." As he spoke, his figure dissipated and turned into a large cloud of ghostly air. He sank into the chaos and disappeared just like how he came.
Zhang Yu stood for a moment and shook his sleeves. A light flashed outside his body and he returned to the interior of the Clear Sky Boat. He called out, "Daoist Ming Zhou."
A light flashed and Ming Zhou appeared beside him. He cupped his hands and said, "Do you have any orders, Minister Ting?"
Zhang Yu said, "I'll have to trouble you to inform the Head Minister that Huo Heng is willing to cooperate. When he comes down, he can try to cover up the important places."
After Ming Zhou bowed, he turned into light and disappeared.
Zhang Yu turned his thoughts and returned to the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. When he came to the inner hall, he sat down and took out the golden talisman that Minister Zhuang gave him.
He channeled his thoughts into it and there was a mysterious Qi that entered his mind. He felt countless principles emerge. The Dao in it could not be described with words and could only be conveyed through his thoughts. However, he only looked at it for a while before he came back to his senses. He tidied up his mind and sat down for a while.
It was no wonder that Minister Zhuang said that the Dao in it was only for reference and not to be deepened. If one was greedy for the principles and only immersed themselves in it, one's own Dao would be worn away sooner or later.
This was similar to a lower realm cultivator's own Dao that was deeply embedded in his body and spirit. However, when he looked at this Dao, it was like a huge wave crashing against him, constantly wearing away his original Dao marks. Once the marks were washed away by the wave, he would eventually lose himself.
Therefore, if he wanted to borrow beneficial Dao from it, he could only push it forward slowly.
He was not in a hurry. He had yet to obtain his fundamental Dao, and that was also the case. His own Qi was still slowly and orderly improving. Although the improvement was not by much, it was still advancing. He did not know when it would stop, and once it stopped, it would be the time for his fundamental Dao to appear.
While he was meditating, he saw that there were some changes to the map on the wall in front of him. It was a clear qi that spread down from the top, and together with the formation outside, it formed a barrier that covered the entire inner and outer continents.
The appearance that was revealed could be the Tianxia from hundreds of years ago, or it could be the even more ancient Shen Xia. This way, the Yuanxia messenger would not be able to see the truth.
However, Tianxia did not need to completely rely on this layer of cover. It was best to let the Yuanxia messenger's range of activities be arranged by Xuanting. This way, he would not be able to observe the outside effectively.
Due to the ample preparation of the clear Qi cloth, it was set up within a day.
However, it was impossible for this formation to cover the entire void. The outermost layer only covered the four skies. As for the four roaming palaces, they were originally responsible for exterminating evil gods. Now, they were used for those who were patrolling outside, so they were still in the outer layer.
At this moment, he retracted his gaze and continued to meditate in the hall. After another day, he suddenly felt something. His eyes flashed slightly, and he disappeared from the hall. When he reappeared, he was already in the Daoist Palace that was deep inside the Clear Qi Boat.
Chen Yu was standing on the stairs and looking at the void.
Zhang Tingzhi greeted him and then walked over to look at the same direction as him.
Just now, he felt that there seemed to be a change in the heavenly secrets in the void. He suspected that there was an invasion. If such a change occurred at this time, it might mean that the Yuanxia messenger was about to arrive.
A light flashed in the hall, and Wu Qingxu also arrived. After greeting each other, he also came to the stairs and stood with the other two to look at the outside world.
The three of them did not have to wait for long before they saw that a certain part of the Void Wall seemed to have collapsed, or as if it had been sucked out. A hole appeared. It looked very deep, but then a bit of light appeared. Then, a golden light flew in from outside, and the hole closed instantly.
The golden light went straight to the Yuanxia. However, halfway through, it was blocked by the water-film-like formation and stopped there. When the two came into contact, ripples spread out on the formation wall.
The golden light also scattered at this moment, revealing the scene within. It was an ancient looking longboat that was completely grayish-black in color. It was parked outside the sky and did not continue to approach the formation, nor did it have any intention of leaving. If one were to take a closer look, one would discover that the body of the boat was a little damaged, and the situation was a little strange.
Wu Qingxu asked, "Is this the Yuanxia messenger?"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Ming Zhou, send Wei Tingzhi and Feng Tingzhi to investigate this place. We must find out the origin of this flying boat."
Zhang Yu said, "First Deacon, I'll send my incarnation to guard this place. Then, I'll order Shouzheng and the Xuan Zun who landed in the void to cooperate in expelling the surrounding evil gods."
Chen Yu said, "That's it."
After receiving Ming Zhou's order, Wei Tingzhi and Feng Tingzhi immediately came out of the Taoist Palace. Both of them used the Yuandu Xuantu to teleport and arrived in the void in a breath's time.
At the same time, Zhu Feng, Mei Shang, Lu Xingjie, and the other four people who were responsible for patrolling the void also received Zhang Yu's order. They approached the flying boat one by one and began to eliminate any evil gods that might appear in the surrounding area.
Wei Tingzhi and Daoist Feng rode on the clouds and soon arrived at the location of the flying boat. They saw that the boat was horizontally long and stretched for three to four miles on both ends.
Although they were gradually approaching at this moment, the flying boat still remained motionless. They could now clearly see that there were fine cracks on the body of the boat. Although it looked intact overall, the outer shell used for protection was already broken, and the inner protective wall was exposed. It looked as if it had experienced a fierce battle.
Wei Tingzhi looked at the boat for a moment and was certain that it did not belong to Tianxia. He had never seen such a boat before. However, it seemed to be similar to Tianxia's style. When he thought of Tianxia's recent search for scattered sects, he guessed that the boat might have come from one of the sects in the void.
Therefore, he used his spiritual voice to transmit a message, "You have entered Tianxia's territory. Where did you come from? Can you state your identity?"
After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was no response. Therefore, he repeated himself, but there was still no response.
He controlled his temper and said another sentence, but the entire flying boat was still silent, as if no one was controlling it.
He pondered for a moment and exchanged a look with Daoist Feng. The latter nodded. Therefore, he did not hesitate and pressed his hand. Immediately, a gentle light bloomed in the void and covered the entire boat in a breath's time.
This light rippled slightly and the flying boat flickered a few times. He seemed to have sensed something and looked in a certain direction. He was certain that was the entrance and exit, so he used his magic power to pry open the mystery of the place.
If there was someone inside who tried to stop him, it would be easy to expel him. However, he continued to watch for a while, but there was no response. Therefore, he did not hold back and pushed his magic power further. A moment later, an entrance was opened.
Wei Tingzhi and Feng Tingzhi looked at each other. The two of them did not enter with their bodies. Instead, they released their Yuan Spirits and meditation diagrams and entered the flying boat through the entrance.
