The two flying carriages moved with great difficulty on the Star Staircase under the strong pull of the cultivators. After a long time, they finally passed through the nebula barrier and arrived at the top. A flat land condensed from various brilliances appeared beneath their feet, and the cultivators knelt down one by one.
Zhang Yu looked ahead. At this moment, the palace finally appeared in its entirety before his eyes. It was impossible to describe it completely with words. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it was like a magnificent palace wrapped in amber. The surrounding light was solidified and extended outwards, penetrating into the void.
However, in reality, he was only able to see one side of it. In his observation, just the existence of the palace itself was enough to show the existence of the dao.
Dao was not a concrete thing, but it was everywhere and could be found by people. For example, Dao techniques were summarized and organized by cultivators and could be passed down for future generations to explore and cultivate the principles.
Dao was always there. What cultivators obtained was only a part of Dao. It only came from the cultivator's own interpretation of Dao, or rather, Dao that they could understand.
However, this Hall of Origin was able to make the Dao from formless to tangible, allowing the Dao to be directly seen by people, and allowing people to know the Dao as soon as they saw it.
This was a method to show one's foundation. In fact, even if cultivators could see Dao, they could not understand all of it due to their own limitations. They could only know what it was, and they would only be filled with endless shock and endless yearning.
It was believed that if it was someone else, they would be greatly shocked. Not only would they not want to be enemies with Yuan Xia, they might even have endless admiration for her. If they originally had the intention to lean towards Yuan Xia, they might completely give up the idea of resisting.
However, he did not think so. Even if the Dao was here, it could only be seen. In Yuan Xia, other than those almighty upper realm cultivators, how many people could understand it? How many people could understand the Dao in this?
Moreover, this "Dao" was not perfect because it was still missing an important link.
That was Tianxia.
Yuanxia evolved into the Myriad World Domain and eliminated all kinds of mistakes. However, as long as Yuanxia was still around, what it interpreted was not a complete Dao, but an incomplete Dao. It was a Dao that it depicted itself and was not the true Heavenly Dao.
However, this was not without value. After all, Yuan Xia had placed his own Dao in front of him. If he did not accept it, would he not be letting Yuan Xia down?
He immediately activated his eye seal and looked over.
He did not expect to understand Yuan Xia's Dao, but he hoped to be able to copy it first. When his cultivation improved or when the time was right, he would explore it in depth.
When the cultivator saw Zhang Yu suddenly standing there and staring at the hall in front of him, he thought that he was shocked by this item. He smiled and said proudly, "Principal Zhang, this is the Hall of Yuan Xia. It is where the core of Yuan Xia is located. It was also refined by the almighty upper realm cultivators of various worlds. The grandeur of this palace is unparalleled in all the worlds."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Xuanting's Clear Sky Ship was also refined by the combined efforts of several almighty upper realm cultivators. The main contributors were Tianxia's five almighty upper realm cultivators.
If this hall was created by the combined efforts of the 33 worlds, then the number of almighty upper realm cultivators who participated in the refinement was most likely on the Clear Sky Ship.
The cultivator continued, "Principal Zhang, don't judge the Yuan Hall by its current appearance. The last time I came, it was a different sight. This hall doesn't have a fixed shape, but it can maintain a certain principle, which is precisely the principle of our Yuan Xia."
Zhang Yu glanced at the cultivator. Although this cultivator had mentioned some things, he didn't touch on the main points. Those so-called changes were actually the most unworthy of mentioning.
The reason why the formation he saw was different every time was most likely because this person had been here for a long time. His understanding of the Dao was different, or he had more comprehension and improvement, so the reflection of the Dao was different.
He thought about it. Maybe the upper echelons of the Hall of Yuan Xia had never explained the mystery of this place. If one's cultivation did not reach a certain level, it would be difficult to realize that this Hall of Yuan Xia actually displayed Dao directly.
This was also possible. Cultivator Guo was only the person in charge of receiving and could only be considered a trusted aide of a certain Minister. However, in terms of actual status, he wasn't very high. It was understandable that he didn't know about this.
From this, it could be seen that Yuan Xia had a condescending attitude towards Tianxia. Ever since he entered Yuan Ding, no one with real power had shown up.
Although he was still considered courteous, it was only because he wanted to obtain more from him. The respect for him was probably also because of the power he displayed previously. However, that was only a high opinion of him. It was not because he truly valued Tianxia.
As the two of them were talking, a cloud of fog surged out from the hall. It spread downwards and condensed into a cloud staircase that could be climbed upwards.
The cultivator said, "Principal Zhang, let's go."
Zhang Yu nodded. After ordering Yan Yuming and the rest to wait in the carriage, he stepped on the misty cloud staircase and walked upwards. As he stepped out, he realized that there were changes in the principles hidden within. If he wanted to continue, he had to distinguish them clearly. Only then would he be able to proceed without hindrance.
After all, his cultivation was still there. With just a thought, he was able to resolve his doubts. His footsteps did not stop as he continued upwards.
However, in every step that he went down, there were various changes in the Dao. Every step required him to judge clearly. Furthermore, the changes in the principles were deeper as he went up.
As he stepped on the staircase, the people waiting in the hall also looked at his figure.
If he took a wrong step or misjudged these cloud staircases, there would be more cloud staircases in front of him. If he continued to make mistakes, there would be more and more cloud staircases. In fact, he might never be able to reach the end.
Of course, they would not allow Zhang Yu to be trapped here. If he really could not come out, then they could send someone to lead him out. However, by then, he would have suffered such a setback. His confidence would definitely be lacking. It would be easier for them to raise their conditions. This was also a necessary suppression before the negotiations.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had also judged the mysteries hidden within the cloud staircase. He knew that if he took a wrong step, he might end up at a fork in the road. He might even wander around here.
As the emissary of Tianxia, he represented Tianxia's honor and glory. Of course, he had to try his best to avoid such a deviation. Only then would he have enough confidence to negotiate with Yuan Xia. Even if he knew that he would not be able to get a satisfactory result for Tianxia, he still had to put in the effort on the surface. He had to fight for what he could.
He walked up at a moderate pace. With every step he took, the cloud staircase behind him would dissipate. It was as if telling him that there was no way out for this trip.
He ignored it. Relying on his profound cultivation, he broke through the obstacles in front of him. Every time, he stepped on the most correct path. As he walked steadily, he finally finished all the cloud staircases in front of him and arrived in front of the hall's door. Here, he stopped and looked inside for a moment. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he stepped in.
The cultivator followed behind him. At this moment, there was a hint of admiration in his gaze as he looked at Zhang Yu. He knew the use of the cloud staircase just now. Seeing Zhang Yu pass through it so calmly, he was sincerely impressed.
Since Zhang Yu entered, he felt that he was surrounded by an omnipresent Dao technique. In his senses, the Dao technique seemed to be able to descend at any time and destroy his external body here. This should be another method of deterrence. He still ignored it. His footsteps were very steady.
After he passed through the front hall, he raised his head and saw a Daoist standing there to welcome him. It was Minister Lan, whom he had met before. He bowed to him and said, "The ministers of the upper hall are waiting for emissary of Tianxia in the main hall. Emissary of Tianxia, please follow me."
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Previously, he had seen the newspaper. When he heard this, he immediately understood that the people who were in charge of welcoming him this time were from the Doyen faction.
He divided the ministers of the upper hall into the 'Doyen' and 'Promotion' factions. However, Yuanxia was actually divided into the upper hall and lower hall. When it came to external battles, it was the lower hall's business. However, now it seemed that these people were excluded.
This was actually good news. It meant that the conflicts of this generation for a thousand years had not changed.
He bowed once more, and then followed Minister Lan into the great hall. At this time, the cultivator stood outside the hall, and bowed slightly towards the two people in the distance.
Zhang Yu followed Minister Lan into the middle hall. He felt slightly dazed and saw that he had arrived under a light screen that reached the sky. In the light, there were layers of heavenly regions that appeared and reflected. It showed the past and the future. The end of the two fell into this endless light. It was as if this was the place where the principles gathered.
In the light screen, there were exquisite green jade lotus seats. On these seats, there were more than ten Daoists dressed in celestial robes and tall crowns. All of them had the aura of a celestial being and were surrounded by dense spiritual light.
He raised his head and looked at them one by one. These should be the upper hall ministers of the upper hall of the upper hall of the Yuan Hall. Among these people, there were some with high and some with low cultivation. He could tell at a glance that there were three people who wanted the complete Dao technique. The rest were mostly at the level of Yin and Yang coexisting. There were a few who were at the level of Vajra.
Just as he thought before he came, the power of the upper hall of the Yuan Hall was far greater than that of Tianxia. These people in front of him were only a part of the Doyen faction of the upper hall. However, even if it was just this lineup, it was already comparable to the entire Xuanting. Moreover, there should not be any great ministers here. Otherwise, Minister Lan would have mentioned it in advance.
At this moment, Minister Lan walked to the front and said to the people above, "Upper hall ministers, this is Principal Zhang of Tianxia."
Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Principal Zhang of Tianxia, Zhang Yu, Yuanxia's ministers, greetings."
The Daoists on the green jade lotus seats also returned the greeting with a solemn expression.
At this moment, a minister standing on the left suddenly said, "I heard that Emissary of Tianxia has been in our Yuanxia for half a year. What do you think of our Yuanxia?"
Zhang Yu looked over and said, "The Dao is flourishing, it's a magnificent sight."
A minister on the left asked, "Then how does it compare to your Tianxia?"
Zhang Yu said without hesitation, "Both have their own merits. It's hard to tell which is better."
That minister scoffed and said, "Principal Zhang, I'm afraid you're not telling the truth, right? How many superior cultivators does Tianxia have? How dare you say that they can compare to our Yuanxia? "
Zhang Yu's eyes were clear. He stood there and said calmly, "If we're talking about the Dao of a realm, shouldn't the Dao techniques of that realm be compared to the superior cultivators of the upper realm? Based on this, Yu Sizhi can still be compared. "
