On Tianxia's side, Xuanting sensed that Yuanxia was about to invade again. Xuanting reacted quickly and immediately summoned all the officials to the hall for a discussion.
In reality, Tianxia still had a lot of preparations that had yet to be completed. However, this was how war was. One would never be fully prepared, especially when they were the ones being attacked passively.
However, compared to the last time, Tianxia had already made great progress.
Layers of airspace were set up on the path of the passage between the two worlds, and they also set up a sturdy formation. In reality, they were pushing forward their defense, preventing the other party from invading Tianxia's territory. From being pushed into Tianxia's territory to fighting their way out, the offensive and defensive situation was quietly changing.
If they could take another step forward, they would be invading Yuanxia's territory. This was a strategic goal, and it was very difficult to achieve at the moment. Right now, they were trying their best to catch up with Yuanxia's strength.
The officials came to the hall. After greeting them, Deng Jingyan said, "Looking at the momentum, it's stronger than before. It's not small at all."
This kind of turbulent omen was not only reflected in the manpower and material resources used, but also in the power used behind it. Not to mention other things, just the cultivators of the upper echelons would definitely be more than this. Otherwise, it would not be possible to give them such a sense of threat.
Daoist Yu Su said coldly, "No matter how many people they have, since we have found a way to deal with this person's external body, we have to do our best to kill them in this battle."
This was also the consensus of the officials. Because there was only one chance, they would definitely cover up these loopholes next time.
Chong Tingzhi said, "Looking at Yuanxia's calendar, the timing of this attack is just right to avoid the cycle of a year. It seems like Yuanxia is indeed intentionally not exposing their flaws in front of others."
Lin Tingzhi said, "We still don't have the ability to attack Yuanxia. After blocking a few times and verifying it, we can counterattack."
After everyone discussed for a while, Chief Administrator Chen said, "How are the preparations of each side?"
Wei Tingzhi cupped his fists and said, "Head Enforcer, the various continents are already prepared. If necessary, we can also transfer some of our creations to the battlefield."
Dai Tingzhi said, "The arrangements in the Void World Domain are complete. The defensive forces are roughly three times stronger than before. The people from all sides are also in position, ready to face the enemy at any time."
Deng Jingyan said, "The outer layer of the mansions have also finished their preparations."
The outer layer was the shield of the inner layer. Once Yuan Xia discovered it, the inner layer would be exposed as well. Hence, it did not participate in the previous two battles. However, it was undoubtedly the most important. People like Daoist Zhengqing, who sought the complete Dao, did not show themselves. He was in charge of guarding this place.
Zhang Yu also said, "Within the Gully Realm, the Towering Realm, and the Flat Realm, the Gully Realm and the Towering Realm rely on the origin energy of heaven and earth to defend themselves, so they can withstand a certain amount of attacks. The Flat Realm has just sorted out its meridians, so it's slightly weaker. If Yuanxia attacks this place, I can personally guard it."
Zhong Tingzhi said, "First Enforcer, this is a flaw in the Flat Realm."
Zhu Tingzhi asked, "Zhang Tingzhi, how long will it take to sort out the meridians?"
Zhang Yu said, "It'll take at least five more years."
It was easy to destroy, but difficult to rebuild. Moreover, the Flat Realm was inherently deficient. After being invaded by Yuanxia, it was already riddled with holes. Otherwise, there was no need to bring the Living Lingdu out.
When everyone heard this, they knew that this method of stalling for time was no longer feasible.
Previously, they were still worried that they would have to divide their forces when they were assigned several heavenly regions to guard. Later on, they realized that this was actually the most suitable method for Tianxia's defense. With one less heavenly region, if Yuanxia arrived, they would be able to concentrate more of their forces, which would be disadvantageous to them.
Chief Enforcer Chen said, "We still have to guard this place. We can do our best to stall for time, but we can give up if necessary. If there's a need, the enforcers will support another heavenly region."
The enforcers thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. Anyway, Yuanxia wouldn't ignore Futuo World Realm. Otherwise, the longer this dragged on, the harder it would be to deal with them.
Although the enforcers wouldn't interfere with the battle below, they could still help in some areas. For example, Futuo World Realm. Futuo World Realm was the enforcers' responsibility, but the subsequent decisions were entirely up to the subordinates. It had nothing to do with them.
Another example was the almighty from both sides refining their Daoist treasures for the subordinates to use. How they would use it was up to the subordinates. It had nothing to do with the enforcers.
Chief Enforcer Chen asked the other enforcers a few more questions. Seeing that there were no objections, he said in a deep voice, "Since everything is settled, the enforcers can go to their respective positions."
The enforcers bowed. Other than a few who stayed behind to guard this place, the rest dispersed.
Chief Enforcer Chen walked out of the main hall alone. With a step, he teleported through space and arrived at an altar outside. Daoist Dan, Li Mizhen, Daoist Xian Ding, and the others were waiting for him here. When they saw him, they bowed and greeted him.
After Chief Enforcer Chen returned the greeting, he said, "Since Yuanxia is invading again, it's inevitable that we'll have to use our Daoist treasures to fight. I'll have to trouble all of you later."
The few of them said, "It's only right that we do our part."
After Zhang Yu left Xuanting, he took a flying boat and came to the third space created by the Zhu Que Ritual. This was because this was the space created by the Zhu Que Ritual. It was the embodiment of this treasure's power. Many Daoist treasures that didn't have the ability to operate in this space couldn't be used here.
Therefore, if Yuanxia wanted to break through here, other than the Futian Diagram and the Azure Swan Feather that they revealed earlier, the other Daoist treasures were almost useless. The Azure Swan Feather could only bring people back. If they needed to move the enemy, it could only be used when the master was near. Therefore, only the Futian Diagram could be useful here.
It was also because of this that they dared to set up their position at the forefront.
Currently, the first space was guarded by Wu Tingzhi, and the second space was guarded by Daoist You.
These two spaces were prepared to be abandoned because the more changes the Zhu Que Ritual had, the more flaws it would reveal. Therefore, as long as Yuanxia attacked for a period of time, they would be able to find an opening. If they took the initiative to give up and retreat, Yuanxia wouldn't give up the advantage they already had and continue to go deeper.
Therefore, he was actually the real first line of defense. He needed to firmly block Yuanxia here, but after Wu Tingzhi and Daoist You retreated, they would defend together with him.
This time, all of them still used their previous avatars to come here. This was intentionally seen by Yuanxia to confuse the enemy.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt the space in front of him vibrating. It was obvious that a collision had begun. There were also traces of light that appeared like cracks in the surrounding space, indicating that the attack was unusually fierce.
On Yuanxia's side, in the giant boat, Minister Duan and Sheng Zheng were sitting on a large platform suspended in the air. There was nothing below them, and their surroundings were also empty, lonely and empty.
At this moment, the two were playing chess, but they were using Tianxia's Dao chess.
After Minister Duan placed a few pieces, he said, "Tianxia's item has some merits."
Sheng Zheng said, "Otherwise, how can he be worthy of being my opponent?" As she spoke, she placed a piece.
Minister Duan took a few glances, nodded and said, "Good move." He sat up straight and said, "I didn't expect Minister Sheng to be so calm after meeting an opponent again after suffering a setback last time." As he spoke, he also placed a piece.
Sheng Zheng looked at the chessboard and said without raising her head, "One must go through twists and turns to reach the end. Isn't this the truth? If it is taken smoothly, is it still the end? "
Minister Duan narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, according to what you said, Minister Sheng, do you think I will encounter another setback?"
Sheng Zheng said, "Where there is a will, there is a way."
At this moment, a ray of light landed on the large platform, and a Yuanxia cultivator appeared inside. He saluted and said, "Ministers, the front is heavily guarded, and there seems to be a Tianxia cultivator overseeing it. Fellow cultivator below would like to ask if it is possible to send Qiu Quan to break the formation in front."
Minister Duan said, "Minister Sheng, what do you think?"
Sheng Zheng looked outside, and said to the cultivator standing there, "Ask Gao Liangyue if he can find the Qi dynamic of the person inside."
The cultivator saluted and pointed not far away. A light shadow appeared, and there was a faint Qi dynamic inside.
After waiting for a while, he said, "The High Lord is really back. The person inside is hiding in the depths of the formation, and he has restrained his Qi dynamic. It is very difficult to catch him, or at least he can't sense him. He should be more vigilant after the last battle."
Sheng Zheng looked at Minister Duan and said, "Minister Duan, I think there is no need to send people over. My cultivators in the Upper State have to be used in crucial places. Since this place is not suitable for me to use my power, there is no need to change the battle strategy. It will only take a little more time."
If it had been the last time, he would not have given it much thought and would have immediately sent his men out. However, after the previous loss, he was much more cautious this time. He felt that unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not expose his own forces. Since the power of the Sky Negative Diagram could push in, there was no need to create unnecessary complications.
Minister Duan did not immediately agree, but thought for a while and asked, "Minister Sheng, do you think it is possible for us to destroy this airspace?"
Sheng Zheng said, "I have thought about this. This airspace originally did not exist, but was cut off from the passage between the two worlds. If we destroy the airspace, let's not talk about how many methods we have to use. Even if we succeed, we will shake the passage between the two worlds, and it will take a long time before we can find it again. This is not beneficial to us.
Minister Duan said, "That makes sense. Alright, let's do it this way." He said to the cultivator who came to report, "Tell the subordinates to maintain the original attack."
Then, he said meaningfully, "Minister Sheng, I think we should write a report of the situation here and report it back."
Sheng Zheng immediately understood what he meant.
This time, the two palaces worked together, and for the time being, they did not hinder each other. As long as they discussed and solved the problem, there would not be any big mistakes. However, if things did not go well, then someone would have to take the blame. The two of them would bear the brunt. If they reported the situation here to the subordinates, if they felt that something was wrong, they would have an excuse.
He said, "Minister Duan's words are reasonable. It is inevitable that we do not think things through. If there are any mistakes, it is better to let the two palaces correct us."
