After Cultivator Fu and the other two left, the three of them didn't have the mood to talk anymore and went back to consolidate their cultivation.
Only Cultivator Hua seemed to be a little resistant to this harvest, but he wasn't stupid. Since there were benefits in front of him, he naturally had to seize them, so he also hurried back.
After Cultivator Fu returned to his residence and meditated for an entire night, he increasingly felt that the transformation of Dao was the way out for his cultivation.
The idea that Yuan Xia had always instilled in them was to wait for her to destroy the world and kill all mistakes and omissions. Then, she would naturally take them to harvest the fruits of her labor and enjoy the end of Dao together.
However, he knew very well that this was just a saying. Would Yuan Xia really share the end of Dao with them? If she could really do this, then why would there be a need to distinguish between master and servant?
However, they had to convince themselves that Yuan Xia would fulfill her promise. This was because Yuan Xia had the Tribulation Avoidance Pill and controlled their life and death. What could they do if they didn't believe it?
Therefore, their hearts had been very conflicted for a long time. They had no other choice, but after seeing the Dao techniques and some other things that Zhang Yu showed them, they also faintly glimpsed the scene on Tianxia's side.
After a night of meditation, he re-examined himself. Deep in his heart, he unconsciously rejected Yuan Xia even more and faintly yearned for Tianxia's side.
However, although he acknowledged Yuan Xia in his heart, it was impossible for him to rebel against Yuan Xia now or join Tianxia. On the contrary, if Yuan Xia wanted him to attack Tianxia, he would still do it without hesitation.
This was because he didn't think that Tianxia could resist Yuan Xia. At least, before Tianxia showed enough strength to resist Yuan Xia, he wouldn't have any thoughts of crossing the line.
However …
When he was playing chess yesterday, he faintly sensed something, so he wanted to confirm it.
In view of this, he took advantage of the convenience of a mission to come out of his residence and once again visit Zhang Yu in the pagoda hall. This time, he came alone and didn't agree to meet with the other two.
This time, after greeting him, he asked if they could play another game of chess.
Zhang Yu had no objections. He immediately set up the Go board and played another game with him.
This time, after the game was over, Cultivator Fu sat there motionlessly for a long time.
He had a clearer understanding of the matter than the last time, but the doubts in his heart were even stronger. He couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Shangzhen, this Fu has a question. I wonder if I can ask you?"
Zhang Yu asked, "What does Spiritual Master Fu want to ask?"
The cultivator surnamed Fu said, "According to Zhang Shangzhen's Dao theory, as long as there is an existence from the outside world, the power of tribulation can be neutralized through more than one method?"
Zhang Yu: "That's right. Just like in the previous game, Fu Daoist Master and I only fought against each other in a corner. However, this is only a corner of the entire game. After the game is over, everything is uncertain. Anything can change. The more variables there are, the greater the uncertainty. "
Countless thoughts ran through Cultivator Fu's mind. He already understood. Just like Yuanxia's destruction of the Ten Thousand Worlds, as long as one world realm was not destroyed, this game of chess was not over.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yu. Based on the Dao theory and the things that Zhang Yu displayed, he couldn't help but guess that Tianxia very likely had a way to resist the power of tribulation. However, he didn't dare to ask.
Therefore, he silently stood up and bowed. "Thank you for your advice today, Zhang Shangzhen. This Fu will take his leave first." With that, he hurriedly left this place. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back from asking the question that he shouldn't have.
However, not long after he left, Cultivator Guan also came to the pagoda to pay a visit. After greeting him, he said, "Zhang Shangzhen, this Guan wonders if this Zhang Shangzhen can ask for some more help?"
Zhang Yu also played a game of chess with this person and answered some of his questions. Although this person also didn't dare to stay any longer, he said that he would visit again in a few days. Compared to the previous person, this person was clearly more courageous.
After sending this person away, he pondered in his heart. Although he learned a lot about the situation of Yuanxia's Otherworldly Cultivators from Jiang Lao, Fu Yu, and the others, he could more directly feel the torment and conflict in their hearts from these two people.
Although these Otherworldly Cultivators were very oppressed, they couldn't break free from Yuanxia's restrictions. One reason was because of the tribulation avoidance pill. Another reason was that they couldn't see any hope of resisting Yuanxia.
Perhaps in their hearts, they thought that a power that could destroy Yuanxia would appear. However, as the Otherworldly Cultivators were destroyed one after another, this thought was probably gradually extinguished.
A divine light vaguely appeared in his eyes. Since he couldn't do it in his previous life, this matter would be left to Tianxia.
Today, he planted a seed in the hearts of these three people. When the time was right, it would naturally bloom and bear fruit.
In the next few days, in addition to Cultivator Fu, the three people also visited Zhang Yu from time to time. However, when they asked about the previous incident, Zhang Yu also didn't mention it.
Instead, he used the method of chess to show the changes of Dao to these people. He guided the three people's Dao and clearly displayed it in front of them. This was much more persuasive than any words.
On the other hand, Yuanxia didn't send anyone to meet with him. They also didn't have the intention to bring him to meet the higher-ups of Yuanxia. Regarding this, he wasn't anxious. This delay could be considered as buying time for Tianxia's preparations. He was also happy to see this. Moreover, Yuanxia would make a move sooner or later.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the arrival of Tianxia's diplomatic group.
In a certain hall, the young Daoist read the report sent by Cultivator Fu and the other two people. He was satisfied with their efforts. Zhang Yu was the head of the diplomatic group. If he could establish a friendship with him, it would be convenient for him to carry out some of his subsequent plans.
However, he found it strange that Mu Yian hadn't responded to his actions until now. It was as if he was letting him do whatever he wanted. This made him somewhat puzzled. It wasn't until a few days later that he understood the reason.
News came from the clan that the three elders had already agreed to let his elder brother succeed the position of the next sect leader. However, the official succession time hadn't been set yet.
After hearing this news, his eyes suddenly became hazy.
If Mu Yian sat in this position, no matter what he did, the fruits of his labor would be picked by him in the end. No wonder he wasn't anxious at all.
However, he didn't have a chance at all.
He believed that this news should be leaked by the three elders on their own initiative. Perhaps it was mainly to tell him that he needed to hurry up if he wanted to do anything.
He clearly knew that the elders were instigating him, but he had no choice but to jump in. Because becoming the sect leader was the only way for him to pick the best fruits of his labor and use it to ascend to the upper realm.
In the various worlds, in order to ensure that every successor would hold a ceremony to reverse the heavenly mysteries in order to coordinate with the cultivation of the successor. Most of the cultivation treasures and resources would also be poured into the successor. Even if one's talent was mediocre, it could still elevate one's cultivation.
To put it bluntly, if one didn't adapt to heaven and earth, then I'll let heaven and earth adapt to you in order to ensure the continuity of the path.
Of course, this was only the treatment of the successor. Because every time a ceremony was held, the consumption was not small. Reversing the heavenly order required the cooperation of at least a portion of the other worlds.
The reason why the young Daoist was unconvinced of Mu Lao An's superiority was because although he had also relied on the clan's assistance, the majority of his cultivation was based on his own cultivation. However, this elder brother of his, because of his birth, had relied on the ritual to surpass him.
To be fair, he was more talented and was also the successor. It was only because he was not the sect leader that he was inferior. In the future, after Tianxia was destroyed, Mu Yian would be the one to obtain the benefits of the end of the path. This was something he was unwilling to accept no matter what.
He pondered for a long time and called his trusted aide over, saying, "There's something I need you to do."
The aide said, "Young Zhenren, please give me your orders."
The young Daoist said, "I want you to inform that Tianxia's envoy." As he said this, he transmitted his voice.
After the aide heard this, his heart trembled. Then, he said in fear, "Young Zhenren, these words …"
The young Daoist looked at him and said softly, "Do you think that I, Yuan Xia, will lose this battle with Tianxia?"
The aide shook his head and said, "Of course not."
The young Daoist said, "If that's the case, then what are you afraid of? The news you passed to them won't affect the overall situation. What do you have to worry about? "
The aide lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "Young Zhenren, leave this matter to me. I'll arrange it well."
The young Daoist nodded casually and said, "Go."
The aide bowed deeply and walked out.
On the other side, Mu Yian was reading the letter that was handed up from below. Daoist Qu was standing by the side.
Over the past few days, the cultivators under him had visited Daoist You, Jiao Yao, Daoist Zheng Qing, and even the accompanying Daoist Ji Xu.
The people below had their own judgments about these Xuan Zun. They believed that the key breakthrough point was the true dragon cultivator named Jiao Yao.
However, overall, there was no harvest so far. Only a Daoist cultivator named Chang Yang had been secretly asking if he could join Yuan Xia because he had signed the contract early.
Mu Yian laughed but did not intend to pay attention to it. His main target was the upper echelons of Tianxia's diplomatic group. He did not have the heart to pay attention to a mere Xuan Zun.
When he accepted this person, it was only to show Yuan Xia's magnanimity. It was a show for others to see. It was meaningless to keep him in Yuan Xia. Instead, it was more useful to let this person hide in Tianxia after he returned.
After reading the letter, he said, "It's time to have a formal talk with Envoy Zhang." He looked at Daoist Qu, "Daoist Qu, you go on behalf of me."
Originally, this matter needed him to show his sincerity. However, he was about to take over the position of the patriarch. Moreover, the news had already spread. Therefore, he could not casually show his face and do anything. Otherwise, he would be looked down upon by the other Daoists.
The title of the next patriarch had many benefits but also many restrictions. It was a necessary price for him to win this title.
Solemnly, Daoist Qu bowed and said, "Yes, but as the envoy, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with him. However, I'll do my best."
Mu Yian glanced at him and said, "You're worried that my brother will disturb you. I'll restrain him. You can do whatever you want."
