After a long conversation with Daoist Zhengqing, Zhang Yu had a better understanding of the Lai Yuan World. After Daoist Zhengqing left, he stood alone in the hall and pondered.
As for how to fight against Yuan Xia, as someone who personally came to Yuan Xia and grasped a large amount of information about Yuan Xia, he already had a preliminary judgment in his heart.
Previously, he and Daoist Sui talked about many worlds that were destroyed by Yuan Xia, so he roughly knew the internal situation of these worlds. Although he didn't talk about the specific battles, he saw many things that weren't recorded in the records.
Combined with the books he had read recently, he was able to deduce that most of the Otherworldly Wars that Yuan Xia had conquered were settled tens to hundreds of years ago. However, there were also many wars that lasted for one to two hundred years. There were also some that lasted longer than that, but that was just an example.
What was interesting was that the worlds that resisted for a longer time weren't those that were stronger on the surface. Some of them were purely internal living beings that couldn't communicate with each other, such as the Furnace World Region.
There were also some cultivators that had a stronger will and were more united internally. Although these worlds weren't as strong as Yuan Xia, after a long time of fighting, their scattered internal forces were gradually integrated. They were able to confront Yuan Xia to a certain extent and even had the upper hand for a short period of time.
During this period of time, they could also fight back and forth with Yuan Xia. For example, there was a Gengluo World that fought against Yuan Xia for more than two hundred years. If they persisted, they might be able to last for three hundred years.
However, all of this was useless because Yuan Xia's determination to destroy the worlds couldn't be shaken. It was even more impossible for them to retreat because of their own losses. Moreover, most of the cultivators that were consumed in the early stages were cultivators from the worlds. Apart from some cultivators in the upper realm, Yuan Xia would help them extend their lifespans. Ordinary Daoist Masters would also die once their lifespans were up, so they didn't care about their lives at all. It was better for them to be consumed in the battles.
The Gengluo World's foundation was originally inferior to Yuan Xia. There were also a few cultivators in the upper realm, so it was impossible for them to achieve anything in a short period of time. If they were defeated, there would be one less cultivator. Under Yuan Xia's continuous attacks, it wasn't enough for more juniors to grow.
In the later stages, as the cultivators in the upper echelons of this world were gradually exhausted, there was no way for them to continue. What awaited them was only destruction. Even at this point, Yuan Xia had only mobilized the otherworldly Daoist cultivators and a small number of cultivators from the lower and upper halls. The latter was still in charge of wrapping things up.
Yuan Xia's strength could be directly seen from this battle. However, it could also be seen that Yuan Xia's strength could not be united due to internal conflicts. Therefore, no matter which Outer World they targeted, their method of conquest was the same. It was unlikely that Tianxia would change his approach because it was determined by his internal situation.
Therefore, when Tianxia fought against them, the first thing he had to do was to eliminate the enemy and protect himself as much as possible. At the same time, he had to do everything he could to increase the strength of the younger generation and guide more people to rise to the top.
This couldn't be done elsewhere, but it was possible in Tianxia.
Xuan Techniques undoubtedly had an advantage in this aspect. Although Xuan Techniques had existed for a long time, it had only been a few hundred years since it was promoted. Now, there were already many outstanding people emerging.
On one hand, it was because the threshold to enter Xuan Techniques was lower than True Techniques. On the other hand, Xuan Techniques were all techniques. The more people who climbed the Dao, the more paths there were. As long as someone could reach a certain level, many people could rely on the methods of their predecessors to climb up.
Now, the path to the top had been opened up by him. However, from the void to the top, he still had to think of ways to create seals to guide more people.
Other than Xuan Techniques, there was also the creation of heavenly secrets. In the past, Tianxia had been suppressing it because he wasn't ready to fully accept this power. However, now, he had to consider letting go of part of it. In the battle against Yuan Xia, Tianxia first had to consider his own survival. Everything else could be put aside.
What was worth paying attention to was the external body technique.
The external body was indeed a good thing. It could be used to minimize the casualties of cultivators to the greatest extent. This was undoubtedly more useful for Tianxia, who was on the weaker side.
There was another problem that was worth paying attention to. It seemed that there weren't any upper realm cultivators in the outside world who relied on their own strength.
Because it involved the power of the upper realm, he couldn't be completely sure about this. However, he felt that it was possible. This was because many of the outside world were formed by the changes in Yuan Xia. Ignoring the lower realm, it was difficult for the upper realm cultivators to exceed the limits of the upper realm cultivators.
However, this wasn't absolute because the reason why the Heavenly Fate Variables were Heavenly Fate Variables was that they carried a kind of uncertainty. This was also what the Yuanxia Tribulation Force avoided. It was fine when there were few variables, but if there were too many variables, then all kinds of possibilities would emerge.
For example, Tianxia was the biggest change in Yuan Xia.
If someone like Chief Enforcer Zhuang ascended to the upper realm, other than his own ability and talent, it might be because he was close to the Great Chaos. This was because, to a certain extent, it changed the nature of Yuan Xia's evolution.
He hoped that it was the latter. This way, more people would have the possibility to ascend. Moreover, because these people had jumped out of the fence, they might be able to provide more help to the lower realm cultivators.
He looked ahead. The glow of the Hall of Yuan filled his entire vision. It was as if it was everywhere. However, there were still some voids that couldn't be filled.
He thought that as long as Tianxia didn't consume too much energy during Yuan Xia's initial attack and could hold on for another two to three hundred years, the situation would definitely change.
At this moment, on the other side, Cultivator Guo wrote down all the conversations between Zhang Yu and Daoist Sui into a book and presented it to Minister Lan. After the latter read it, he said, "Is that all?"
The cultivator replied, "Yes, everything is here. Not a single word is left out."
After reading it, Minister Lan said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend that you don't know anything."
Cultivator Guo acknowledged and said, "Minister Lan, where is Yu An? I wonder …"
Minister Lan said, "I can roughly guess where he is talking about. As a cultivator who plucked top-tier merit fruits, it's not strange that Emissary Zhang would be interested in this place. However, you don't have to worry about this. The important matters are more important."
The Hall of Yuan had already discussed many things with Zhang Yu. Even if the latter had some thoughts, it wouldn't be a big deal. Not to mention that he was just inquiring about it and didn't do anything excessive. Even if he really went there, so what? At this moment, the bigger picture was more important.
The cultivator respectfully replied, "Yes."
At this moment, a disciple walked in and bowed to Minister Lan. He said, "Minister Lan, please come in."
Minister Lan waved his hand and ordered Cultivator Guo to leave. He sat still. His body flashed and in the next moment, he appeared on the green jade lotus seat in the Hall of Yuan. The other ministers also appeared on the lotus seats.
One of the ministers said, "Everyone, the person is here. He's waiting outside."
Daoist Wan said, "Then let's invite this person over."
That minister ordered the disciple below, "Call him in."
After a while, an inconspicuous and thin Daoist came in from outside. He bowed respectfully to the seats and said, "Liao Chang greets the ministers."
That minister said, "Liao Chang, come down. I'll send an emissary who will follow Tianxia to Tianxia. When you get there, try to get in touch with a sect called the Yuandu Sect. Do you understand?"
Liao Chang thought for a moment and said, "May I ask the ministers, what is the origin of this Yuandu Sect? Do you have a token to entrust it with?"
That minister said, "Now, you must remember what I'm going to say. However, you can't let anyone other than yourself know."
Liao Chang's expression became serious. He said, "Please instruct me."
That minister said, "Yuandu Sect is another sect of Daoist techniques that Master Hanzhou Shidao passed down in Tianxia. Furthermore, it has been linked to me for a long time. From this, I've obtained quite a bit of inside information about Tianxia."
The upper realm almighty behind Master Hanzhou Shidao was the same person as the founder of Yuandu Sect. In the past, it had always been Yuandu Sect's special techniques and treasures that were used to deduce the secrets of Tianxia.
However, ever since Tianxia got close to the Great Chaos, this method became useless. Therefore, they had to use other methods to find out more inside information.
Even though there were emissaries who sent back quite a bit of information, they couldn't obtain everything from the person they were going to attack in the near future. They still needed to open up a gap from where they were. This time, ordering people to follow Zhang Yu back was their attempt.
When Liao Chang suddenly received this news, he was also shocked. However, he didn't think much of it. Yuandu Xia had been successful for so many years. It was just dealing with another world. It wouldn't be any different from the past. He exclaimed, "I didn't expect the plans of the ministers to be so far-reaching."
At this moment, Daoist Wan threw down an item. Liao Chang hurriedly received it. He saw that it was an indistinct golden talisman. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to notice the existence of this item.
Daoist Wan said, "After you bring this item there, wait for an opportunity. When the time comes, there will naturally be people from Yuandu Sect who will find you. Then, you will pass on the inside information that Yuandu Sect gave you to us."
That minister said, "Liao Chang, you were originally just a side branch of the world. It was Hall of Origin that gave you this opportunity. I hope you can grasp it well."
Liao Chang said respectfully, "Yes, I won't dare to forget Hall of Origin's guidance."
Daoist Wan looked to the side and said, "Minister Lan, go and tell Emissary Zhang that we are the same as Daoist Wan. We will also send a few people back with them."
Minister Lan said, "Alright, I will make the arrangements."
On the second day, Cultivator Guo came to look for Zhang Yu again. He brought up Hall of Origin's request and said, "I only hope this matter won't make things too difficult for Emissary Zhang."
Zhang Yu had already expected Yuan Xia's arrangement. This was because Yuan Xia definitely wouldn't be completely at ease with him. She also needed to have a basic grasp of the upcoming battle situation. For this, he had already made arrangements long ago.
He said, "Since it's Hall of Origin's arrangement, I naturally won't reject it. However, to be safe, Zhenren Guo can bring the people over tomorrow. I need to meet them first to prevent any mistakes."
