Zhang Yu's words caused the other councilors to ponder. It wasn't easy to answer this question.
From a general perspective, what he said was correct.
This was because an upper realm mighty figure represented the pinnacle of a world region's Dao. No matter how many cultivators there were, it was meaningless to them.
As the world was evolved from Yuanxia, most of the upper realm mighty figures in the world were actually one person. Logically speaking, what Yuanxia had, Tianxia also had.
Even though not all of the upper realm mighty figures in Yuanxia participated in the evolution, Tianxia was the last world region and had its own uniqueness. Especially when one couldn't peek into Tianxia's heavenly secrets, there might be other upper realm mighty figures in this world region. It wasn't easy to compare.
In fact, such a comparison was meaningless. This was because when two sides fought, the upper realm mighty figures wouldn't interfere personally. The outcome would be decided between them.
However, as they couldn't deny the existence of the upper realm mighty figures, they couldn't say that Zhang Yu was wrong.
At this moment, another councilor on the lotus seat said, "Emissary Zhang mentioned Dao, which made me think about it. When Emissary Zhang was climbing the cloud stairs, he resolved the obstacles without any hindrance. It seems like Tianxia's Dao isn't bad. However, I wonder how many people like Emissary Zhang are there in Tianxia?"
Zhang Yu said, "Since ancient times, the changes in Dao have been from small to large, from small to large. The path of cultivation is not one that can climb forward with one's own strength. My achievements today are all due to the efforts of my fellow Daoists and the achievements of my predecessors. Since the mysteries of heaven are constantly changing, Dao changes every day. When I return, I might have a few more fellow Daoists."
When the other councilors heard this, they either frowned or sneered. At this moment, a councilor shook his head and said, "Ridiculous, ridiculous. Emissary Zhang, all of you are on the wrong path.
There are many changes in the heavenly laws. They trap the heavenly heart and disturb the human heart. They control the universe and confuse Yin and Yang. In the path of Dao, the most important thing is to cut off the changes in order to fix the root. Blindly following the changes? That will only cause you to fall into depravity, and you will never be able to attain the complete Dao. "
Zhang Yu glanced over and saw that the speaker was an old Daoist with a quaint appearance. He was also one of the three Daoist cultivators here who sought the complete Daoist technique.
In terms of pure logic, it was the same as his rebuttal just now. There wasn't much wrong with it.
However, there were many principles in this world. Before obtaining the true end dao, everyone had their own interpretation. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many different dao laws in this world.
If one simply sought for changes, then it would be as chaotic and disorderly as the Great Chaos. If one simply sought for stability, then one would need to obtain the end dao like Yuan Xia. This dao might not be able to succeed. However, it seemed to be the closest to the end dao, so it seemed to be the most correct path of Dao.
However, Tianxia had his own insistence. The difference between Tianxia and Yuan Xia was the difference in the principles of Dao. If he followed Yuan Xia's set and accepted Yuan Xia's Dao without any resistance, then even if Tianxia didn't perish, Tianxia wouldn't be Tianxia anymore.
He looked at the old Daoist and said, "My Tianxia's Dao is to seek for change within change and change within change. The change is Yuanxia's opportunity and not a calamity of chaos. No matter what this Minister thinks, the fact is that Tianxia and Yuan Xia are advancing side by side. How can you talk about right and wrong so quickly?"
A Minister refuted, "Minister Zhang, you're wrong. Tianxia can survive until today because Yuanxia didn't take Tianxia into consideration first. Instead, we conquered other worlds. That's why we were lucky enough to survive. This is Yuanxia's choice and not Tianxia's own merit!"
Zhang Yu said faintly, "Then why didn't Yuanxia conquer Tianxia first and leave Tianxia for last? Doesn't this mean that Yuanxia doesn't have such confidence? If that's the case, why can't Tianxia be compared to Yuanxia? "
Most of the Ministers were silent. Even though they didn't like what he said, Zhang Yu was right.
Why did they leave Tianxia for last? That was because every time Tianji was deducing, there would always be an opponent easier to deal with than Tianxia. They adhered to the strategy of easy first and difficult second, preserving their strength. Naturally, they would go for the target first.
Later on, because they couldn't deduce Tianxia's Tianji, they could only choose the worlds that could deduce Tianji's Tianji first.
Until now, they still couldn't see through Tianxia's background. Otherwise, they would've attacked with all their might. Otherwise, why would they need to put in so much effort?
At this moment, Minister Lan spoke, "Minister Zhang's words are sharp, but they can't close the gap between Tianxia and Yuanxia." His gaze fell, "Otherwise, why would Tianxia come to me for a discussion?"
Zhang Yu calmly replied, "I'm here because I've been entrusted by the True Gods of Tianxia to find a way to reconcile. If our two families were to fight, the heavens would be overturned and the earth would be overturned. The creatures of heaven and earth are innocent, so how could they bear to be implicated by me? If we could find a way to live together without fighting and killing, it would be beneficial to both our families."
Was there any other way besides the two of them fighting each other? Strictly speaking, there was. These people from Yuanxia intended to take in Tianxia's cultivators. Then, could Tianxia think of ways to unite the people from Yuanxia?
However, his words made the ministers on the green jade lotus seat think that he was willing to reconcile the relationship and give a hint to cooperate with the Hall of Origin.
As for Zhang Yu's words about the living beings of the world, they naturally didn't take it to heart. They thought that it was just a formality in his words. Forget about cultivators, even mortals, if they only had a small chance to escape, if they couldn't even take care of themselves after death, why would they care about others?
Minister Lan's tone was gentle, "Of course, this can be discussed. We invited Minister Zhang to come here to discuss this matter. If there can be less fighting, and at the very least, avoid conflict between the two of us, we are willing to see this. "
As he spoke, there was a flash of light in the light screen behind them. Then, a spell scroll flew down from the sky and landed where Zhang Yu was standing.
Zhang Yu looked at it. This spell scroll stopped three feet in front of him. He glanced at it and read the terms on it.
Minister Lan said, "This is the sincerity of our Hall of Origin, and not the radical words of Minister Xing. What do you think, Minister Zhang?"
Zhang Yu had a change of mind. He raised his head and said, "I need to think about it."
Minister Lan nodded and said, "Of course." He called out and a Daoist cultivator came in. He ordered, "Find a good place for Principal Emissary Zhang to stay."
The Daoist cultivator acknowledged and bowed sideways, saying, "Principal Envoy Zhang, this way."
Zhang Yu bowed to the people on the seats. After they returned the greeting, he shook his sleeves and followed the cultivator out. This time, there weren't any twists and turns on the road. They came to a golden hall.
At this moment, the Daoist cultivator looked at him. While he was looking around, the Daoist cultivator took out a square seal from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Then, he bowed deeply to him and left with his head lowered.
Zhang Yu turned around and looked at the golden seal. The divine light in his eyes moved slightly. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from it. Then, the scenery around him shook. A cultivator in blue stood in front of him. This person bowed to him and said, "Minister Zhang, my name is Sheng Zheng. I am the minister of His Highness Yuan."
After bowing, he stood up and said, "I don't like to beat around the bush. I am different from those hypocritical ministers of the Hall of Origin. Therefore, I will say it clearly. I hope that Minister Zhang will not agree to the conditions of the Hall of Origin."
Zhang Yu said, "Minister Sheng, can you give me a reason?"
Daoist Sheng said, "No matter what conditions the minister of the Hall of Origin gives, His Highness can give a better one. It can make Minister Zhang more satisfied."
Zhang Yu said, "Why do you want to do this?"
Daoist Sheng said, "It seems that Minister Zhang still doesn't understand us. The reason is naturally to fight for power, to fight for the end of Dao."
He said without hesitation, "People like us, or should I say the Lower Highness's council, even if our Taoist skills are outstanding, it's still difficult for us to gain any real benefits. After all, the Upper Highness had already divided the authority in the beginning. We can't participate in their decisions, so we can't be independent. “
Although the Hall of Origin and the Hall of Origin are all ministers, on the surface, they have the same status. In fact, the minister of the Hall of Origin and the Dao of the world, even if their Dao skills are not high, they can still participate in the decision-making. As for the cultivators of the human race, even if their cultivation is high enough, it is impossible to join the ranks of the Hall of Origin.
This is because the Hall of Origin is naturally superior in terms of strength and status. And this is also a necessary condition for the sect leader and the clan leader to enter the Hall of Origin without worry. Otherwise, if I enter the Hall of Origin and am controlled by others, why would I give up the power in the world and run out to listen to others' orders?
In this case, the Hall of Origin is the one being ordered around.
Daoist Sheng continued, "I am also dissatisfied with Minister Zhang. Most of the benefits of the Hall of Origin come from the expedition. Now, to deal with Tianxia, the last world outside, if there is no expedition, or if it is just a symbolic attack, the Hall of Origin can solve this matter by itself. Then, it can be imagined that the Hall of Origin will take more in the future battle of the Dao of Origin. No matter how much merit we have done before, it is useless. The Hall of Origin can choose to turn a blind eye."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "The attack on my diplomatic mission was done by you?"
Daoist Sheng said frankly, "Yes, but Minister Zhang, don't think that the Hall of Origin did not participate in this matter." He said coldly, "The Hall of Origin saw that you are close to the Dao of the world, so even if we did this, they changed their mind later on for some reason."
Seeing that Zhang Yu was thinking there, he said, "Minister Zhang, please believe in our sincerity. We can provide more things, and we will not ask what you want to use them for."
Zhang Yu said, "Then, if I want the various secrets of Yuan Xia, can you give them to me?"
Daoist Sheng said straightforwardly, "Yes!"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Are you not afraid that we will use these against you?"
Sheng Zheng said indifferently, "To be honest, I hope that you will be as strong as possible. Don't be like the previous world outside who collapsed after a single attack. When you are strong, the Hall of Origin will strengthen my power. Then, when the time comes to distribute the Dao of Origin, our words will have more power."
Zhang Yu understood. Although this person emphasized the difference between the Hall of Origin and the Hall of Origin, it was only on the surface. There was no difference in essence. They did not think that Tianxia would be a match for Yuan Xia. It was just that the Hall of Origin did not want the expedition to end so quickly and let the Hall of Origin take all the benefits. For this, they did not hesitate to support the enemy.
However, they did have the capital to do so. At least, they did not need to be nervous before the last Daoist cultivator from the Dao of the world was killed.
