Zhangsun Tingzhi looked at this person calmly.
However, the Zhangsun Tingzhi inside sneered and said, "Don't act like that, and don't think of yourself as the real me. You are just a clone in the end. You won't be able to hide for long in the upper levels of the Sky of Clear."
Zhangsun Tingzhi said indifferently, "I won't say so many useless words like you."
The Zhangsun Tingzhi inside looked at him with pity and shook his head, saying, "The real can't be fake, and the fake can't be real. If you think of yourself as me, you've really lost yourself."
Zhangsun Tingzhi did not say anything else. He turned and left. He still had many things to do and did not have time to waste here.
As for this person, he was created from his Dao. This was also the path that his Dao had to take in order to reach the top of the Dao.
This clone was created by him, and it also inherited a part of his original knowledge. When it was first created, it was only a wisp of Qi. As his skills increased and he cultivated his Qi, it would become closer to him. He would also think that he was the real one, and that he was the one who had cultivated his Qi.
In the end, it was hard to say who would replace who.
This was because this method was extremely dangerous to the cultivator. The closer the two got, the more the clone was like him, and he could be like the external body.
This was a process of confrontation. In the end, this body could be so close that even he could not distinguish it.
However, he could only protect his heart and turn it back to himself. Only then could he reach the top.
No one knew how many predecessors had succeeded in cultivating this method. Because in the end, you could not tell if the person standing in front of you was still the person you knew.
Before he came to the Nightmare again, his focus was still on this item. If he could achieve a breakthrough in this item, he would have another weapon against Yuan Xia's external body.
In a certain space outside, Ying Chong and Yu Lingbi each sat on a horizontal branch. The two of them channeled their dao. An endless stream of Sky of Clear Qi was sent down from above, landing on the Cymbidium Lucidum.
Xuan Ting had used the Clear Sky Qi to nourish the Clear Sky Qi in order to ensure that this Dao Stabilizing Treasure would be able to provide even more assistance to Xuan Ting. With this nourishment, the Clear Spirit Heavenly Branch grew even more luxuriant. Its branches extended endlessly, and many forks grew from them. Each of these forks opened up a new region of space.
Every now and then, the two of them would try to pluck a branch from above, and then send it to Xuan Zun and the Court Administrator who needed to go to battle.
In these two years, they had prepared a lot. However, Ying Chong knew that although it seemed like a lot now, in reality, once the battle began, the consumption would double. The things they prepared beforehand might not be enough. Therefore, he also advised Yu Lingbi not to stop, and to continue channeling this Dao Guarding Treasure.
This would not delay their cultivation. First of all, he was the Artifact Spirit Entrusted to the world. The more he was compatible with this treasure, the more benefits he would receive. Yu Lingbi cultivated the most orthodox dao technique of Shangchen, and was closely related to this treasure. They complemented each other. Therefore, this was not a difficult task for the two of them.
Yu Lingbi said, "Zhenren Ying, I heard that one of your disciples has been pardoned by Tianxia?"
Ying Chong said, "That's right. At first, I thought that he was not talented enough, so the relationship between master and disciple was cold. I also rarely used him. Because of this, he did not commit many crimes in the battle that day, so Tianxia let him go."
Although Zhen Chao was his disciple, he used to think that his character was a little dull. He was not as talented as the other disciples, so he did not think much of him in the past. But now, after the changes in Shangchen, many of his disciples were either defeated or imprisoned in the prison. Only this disciple was still outside.
Yu Lingbi said, "Zhenren Ying, Shangchen no longer exists as a sect, but the dao technique is still there. There has to be someone to pass it on. Moreover, the battle with Yuan Xia will drag on for a long time. If we go into battle, to put it bluntly, if we are in the battle array, then there will need to be disciples and juniors to take over."
Ying Chong said, "Yu Zhizhang's words are somewhat reasonable. However, since this disciple of mine has joined Tianxia, he is now a disciple of Tianxia. I don't think he will listen to my teacher's words. We still need to ask his own opinion."
Yu Lingbi said, "I think he will agree."
In the depths of the Qingqiong Cloud Sea, Chief Attendant Chen stood in the main hall. He held a light ball in his hand. This was another Dao Guarding Treasure that the attendants had just entrusted to him. It was called "Du Que Yi".
Every time Yuan Xia broke through the Rending World, it was equivalent to breaking into the inner courtyard. This was a great threat to Tianxia, and this treasure was to guard against this.
This treasure had several transformations. One of them could specifically target the passage between the two worlds. It had the ability to cut off the void and create many overlapping spaces there. In this way, Yuan Xia would not be able to come to Tianxia immediately. He would have to pass through these spaces. Tianxia could rely on these spaces to set up layers of defense.
Since they wanted to fight a war of attrition, they would fight with them.
If Yuan Xia wanted to counterattack, he would either have a ready-made Dao Guarding Treasure to break through, or he would have to sacrifice another one. But they thought it was unlikely, because they would only sacrifice it if it was necessary. In the past, no one from the outside world could stop Yuan Xia. They were all killed by Yuan Xia directly, so it was likely that they would be obstructed.
In short, they had to find a way to disrupt Yuan Xia's rhythm and not let him attack Tianxia comfortably.
Yuan Xia's every battle tactic followed a fixed path. Once there was a change, they would have to adjust again. It was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Although this battle tactic looked very rigid, it was very suitable for Yuan Xia's own characteristics. It could also make use of Yuan Xia's strengths.
At this moment, they did not know how long Yuan Xia could wait. They could only speed up the arrangement.
He tossed out the golden pellet in his hand. After the golden pellet went out, it went to look for the gap between the two worlds. When it found it, it plunged down, and in an instant, layers of space were cut off and created.
Then, he ordered, "Ming Zhou, invite the court enforcers here." Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and left.
After a short while, the court enforcers arrived. After both sides greeted each other, Chief Enforcer Chen told them about this matter. Everyone was delighted. With one more Dao Guarding Treasure, they would have a higher chance of winning.
Moreover, they knew from Chief Enforcer Chen that there was more than one Dao Guarding Treasure being sacrificially refined this time. However, Dao Guarding Treasures were limited, just like those upper realm almighties. Therefore, they could not completely rely on this aspect to suppress Yuan Xia. They still had to rely on themselves for this battle.
After Chief Enforcer Chen gave his instructions, rays of golden light descended in the main hall. The court enforcers were all sent to the front of the space by Yuandu Xuantu.
Other than them, there were more than 20 Xuan Zun cultivators here. Everyone occupied their respective corners of the formation and threw down the formation discs one after another. Soon, layers of formations were established.
This time, everyone came with their external bodies. Because they did not know if Yuan Xia would react to their actions. Fortunately, Yuan Xia did not make any moves.
After roughly setting up the formations here for a month, everyone left Wu Ting's external body to guard here. Then, they moved to the back of the space and continued to set up the formations here.
Currently, the 'Du Que Yi' had only set up five layers of space. It was not that they could not set up more, but the more changes there were, the easier it would be for others to find gaps.
In fact, Chief Enforcer Chen also felt that there were too many layers and it would be easy to reveal flaws. However, he considered that Yuan Xia might rely on their deep foundation to directly attack and would not consider too much. Therefore, when the time came, he would give up on one or two layers and take advantage of the situation to retreat to defend.
At this moment, after three years of preparation, Yuan Xia had more or less allocated the manpower and resources. The Hall of Yuan had decided to launch a second expedition against Tianxia.
After several setbacks, the Upper and Lower Halls temporarily put aside their disputes and reached a consensus. This expedition would be coordinated by the Upper and Lower Halls, and they accepted the manpower sent by a few eras.
These worlds were relatively weak and were greatly affected by the Yuan Shang Hall. As for those powerful worlds, if you didn't reach an agreement about the Ultimate Dao, you wouldn't be able to help. Therefore, this time, you could only watch coldly from the sidelines.
The Hall of Yuan did not plan to let them join in, otherwise, they would definitely take away a large portion of their authority.
In the Lower Hall, the Lower Hall's committee members were also called into the main hall. Minister Quan sat at the head of the table and said to everyone, "Everyone must have heard that in this expedition, His Highness will cooperate with us."
Sheng Zheng said, "Then who will be in charge of the overall situation?"
The committee member said, "Considering that it is not appropriate for anyone to be in charge this time, the Upper and Lower Halls will each send one person. The Upper Hall believes that Minister Duan often interacts with us. Therefore, this time, you and Minister Duan will go together. If something happens, you and Minister Duan can discuss it together."
"Duan Yin?"
Sheng Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Wan Kuang will not appear himself? Would he give up such a good opportunity to be in charge? "
The committee member said, "Wan Kuang will not appear if he is not 100% confident."
The committee members in the Lower Halls could not help but look at each other. The meaning of these words was clear. This time, the Upper Hall was not 100% confident that they could defeat Tianxia.
Sheng Zheng said mockingly, "Wan Kuang is conservative and slow-witted. That group of people in the Upper Hall must have learned from him, right? In fact, they do not even have to go themselves. Any one of them can be in charge. It is just following that rigid style. "
The committee member said slowly, "This time, any decision that is made must be agreed by both of you. Do you understand?"
Sheng Zheng's heart skipped a beat as she nodded. He said, "Committee member, when will we take action?"
The committee member sat still and took out a jade talisman from his sleeve. He extended his hand and made a gesture of handing it over, saying, "The general plan is here. Keep it well." This time, all the general arrangements for the attack were in this talisman. When it came to the battle formation, the specific situation could be arranged by Duan Yin and Sheng Zheng, but the general direction had to be followed.
Sheng Zheng's expression turned serious. He shook his sleeve and stood up from his seat. He took a few steps forward and took the talisman. He circulated his divine Qi and knew the general situation. He bowed to the Upper Hall and said, "Committee member, time is tight. I will go and prepare first."
