When the Dark Gold Fortress reached Tianxia's airspace again, they still had to face the same thick fortress.
However, after Councilor Duan and Sheng Zheng observed for a while, they seemed to have discovered that there was another identical fortress behind this one.
The two of them analyzed that these two fortresses should have been refined together a long time ago, but there was not enough time to complete them. Now that they had been delayed for a few months, the refinement was finally completed, so they were placed here.
Then would there be a third fortress if this dragged on?
That was also possible.
Sheng Zheng was already mentally prepared before he returned. He said, "Councilor Duan, we need to try to force our way in and break through these fortresses as soon as possible. The longer we drag this out, the harder it will be for us to break through."
Councilor Duan thought for a moment and said, "Tianxia must have put in a lot of effort to break through these fortresses. If they're willing to fight us head-on, we'll just go along with their wishes. This is also in line with our strategy. Don't be in a hurry to achieve anything right now. We just need to maintain a slight advantage on the battlefield."
Perhaps many people would be in a hurry to achieve something after being pushed up by the faction behind them, but he was not like that. He felt that it was precisely at this time that they should be more steady and not be impatient. In any case, Yuan Xia had not set a date for them to achieve anything, so this was the only tolerance they could give them. They had to make good use of this opportunity and wait patiently for the right opportunity.
Sheng Zheng could understand what he meant, so he did not insist. He only said, "Since the two Temples have given us that Dao Guarding Treasure, why don't we ask them?"
The Dao Guarding Treasure that Councilor Lan had given them was called the "Heavenly Count Book". Not only could this item be used to fight, but it also had another wonderful use. As long as you wrote down the question you needed to ask in this book, it would be able to point out the most suitable solution for you at the moment.
These methods are all based on the conditions you can provide at the moment. Sometimes, some inexplicable methods will be given, but you don't have to understand why. As long as you follow the steps and complete every step, you will have a great chance of achieving what you want, even if the object you want to target is a Dao Guarding Treasure.
Of course, this item could only guarantee the answer you wanted. As for what would happen after you achieved your goal, there was no guarantee. You would have to solve it yourself. Moreover, there was a price to pay for using this item. The higher the level of the target, the more things would be involved, and the price would also be greater.
Minister Duan changed his mind and said, "Alright, since Minister Sheng is willing to ask, then let's give it a try."
Although they had to pay a price, the price wasn't enough to take their lives. Moreover, if they failed, they would have nothing left, so the price didn't matter.
He took out the ball of light and channeled his mana into it. A golden jade book appeared in front of him. There were two ancient seals on it, and the words "Heavenly Count" were written on it. He looked at the book and thought for a while. Then, he used his finger as a pen and wrote down how to break through the obstacles in front of him and reach the hinterland of Tianxia.
After writing down his question, he left his name seal. Then, Sheng Zheng also left her life seal. Then, their hearts sank slightly, as if they were burdened by something.
At the same time, many messy words that did not form sentences appeared on the Heavenly Count Book. They flickered quickly and rearranged themselves. In the end, a line of words appeared on it.
Sheng Zheng asked, "What did the higher-ups say?"
After Minister Duan read it, he passed it to Sheng Zheng. The latter took a look and saw that it listed the methods to break through the wall. It was basically what they could imagine.
On the surface, it could be said to be some correct nonsense, but a lot of information was hidden in it.
The two at least knew that the wall was very sturdy. There were no flaws inside or outside. The only way was to break through it. And there was a key sentence in the question, which was to break into the hinterland of Tianxia.
In other words, as long as they used these relatively normal methods, they would be able to break through the Tianxia wall in front of them. Even if there were more walls behind, there wouldn't be many of them.
After the two learned this, they didn't stop there. Instead, they tried to ask some more questions, including how to kill the upper echelons of Yuan Xia.
Of course, they had to choose a specific person to ask this question, and it had to be someone who had come into contact with them and Yuan Xia. These questions were based on their own knowledge and current conditions. If they hadn't seen it before, then it would be impossible to get an accurate answer. It was very likely that it would be a generalization.
The first person they thought of was naturally Zhang Yu.
Sheng Zheng wrote her question on the paper. The words on the paper began to shake and blur as if they were flickering quickly. It lasted for a long time, but there was no answer.
However, this wasn't strange. Zhang Yu was obviously an important figure in Tianxia. If it was so easy to kill him, Yuan Xia would have used this book a long time ago.
In fact, they didn't really expect to kill Zhang Yu. As long as they could destroy one of his avatars, it would be a victory. Considering Zhang Yu's reputation in Yuan Xia, this result was relatively easy to accept.
After waiting for a long time, a line of words finally appeared.
The two looked at it and frowned. The answer given was that they had to get rid of Tianxia's protection first before they could get rid of this person. But if they could do this, why would they need to specifically target someone?
Minister Duan shook his head. This answer also told them that if they wanted to get rid of this person in Tianxia's territory, it was almost impossible to do so before they severely injured Tianxia.
Then, he tried to ask Daoist You, Wu Tingzhi, and other cultivators of Tianxia that he had met. The Book of Heavenly Counts also gave different answers.
After knowing this, they sorted out the clues obtained from different people and deduced. They could roughly see some of Tianxia's arrangements and came up with a plan based on this.
If this plan succeeded, it was possible to kill a few of Tianxia's upper echelons. After all, they had the means to destroy the other party's avatars. Once the avatars couldn't be used, they would have to personally appear in order to stop them.
However, when they asked this question, their expressions became increasingly solemn.
This was because as they asked more questions, they felt that there were different burdens. This was normal. Only when there were burdens would there be entanglements. Otherwise, even if this treasure could get the answers, it wouldn't let them know so easily.
It was easy to solve the problem. As long as they got rid of these people, the burdens could naturally be reduced.
Minister Duan said with a serious expression, "Minister Sheng, you can stop. Don't ask anymore. Otherwise, if we don't get rid of these people, we will definitely be burdened by these burdens."
Sheng Zheng said, "It's enough to know this now." He raised his hand and raised his voice, "Men, pass down the order. Blast away the obstacles in front of us at all costs."
Minister Duan threw the "Heavenly Count Book" out, and it turned into light and fell into the void.
Other than being able to write, this book could also be used to entangle with any Dao Guarding Treasure. However, it could only entangle and not take the initiative to do anything.
However, this could only support the situation. As long as the Dao Guarding Treasure didn't interfere with them, they could still suppress Tianxia by relying on their abundant resources and endless array tools.
Somewhere in the void of Tianxia, Zhang Yu stood in the flying ship and watched Yuan Xia's attack. He knew that another round of confrontation was coming. He also saw the Book of Heavenly Counts. Other than that, he didn't see any other Dao Guarding Treasure.
He pondered for a moment. If this was the case, the situation would maintain a balance for a long time. If the Dao Guarding Treasure couldn't solve the problem, then they would have to rely on people to solve it.
This was in line with his wishes.
At this moment, in Xuntian Dao Zhang, Daoist Feng transmitted a message to him, "Daoist Zhang, if Yuan Xia stabilizes his attack, he can break through these two barriers in about half a year to a year. Unfortunately, the time is still too short. Lin Tingzhi and Exalted You can't refine more. Otherwise, he can delay for a longer time."
This barrier was very useful, but it required Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You to work together to build it. However, at this moment, one was responsible for guarding the barrier while the other was responsible for guarding the Gully Realm. Only a clone could do this, but it was still inferior to the main body. Under the current confrontation, it might take another five to six years to build another one.
Zhang Yu said, "With my Tianxia's savings, although we can go head-to-head with the other side now, it will be depleted after a long time. Therefore, we can't let Yuan Xia drag this out forever. If Yuan Xia doesn't make a move, we will."
Daoist Feng sighed, "In terms of foundation, I can't compare to Yuan Xia. Looking at the formation artifacts in front of us, Yuan Xia can continuously refine them through the cauldron other than transporting them from the mainland. Meanwhile, I, Tianxia, can only rely on Lin Tingzhi's fundamental Daoist technique and the Qi of the Clear Sky to refine the thunder beads. Fortunately, Yuan Xia doesn't know about our background."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yuan Xia and Tianxia have different Daoist mechanisms, which is why he can directly refine the formation artifacts with the cauldron. In fact, the 'Sky Negative Diagram' is the key. Without this Dao Guarding Treasure, this person can't construct a stable Daoist mechanism, and those formation artifacts can't be refined."
Daoist Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Daoist Zhang, if I, Tianxia, can destroy this treasure, then Yuan Xia will lose an arm."
The Sky Negative Diagram was the most crucial Dao Guarding Treasure for Yuan Xia's offense. Yuan Xia's entire offensive system was built around this treasure. If it could be destroyed, all of Yuan Xia's existing offensive methods would have to be redone.
It was not that Zhang Yu had not considered this before. However, the Prized artefact was suspended in outer space. Additionally, there was also a Dao-guarding treasure that was responsible for concealing its aura. There was simply no way to know where it was, let alone destroy it.
Moreover, he suspected that the Azure Great Feather and the Sky Negative Diagram were responsible for coming and going respectively. It was very likely that they were a connected Dao Guarding Treasure. This way, when one was attacked, the other could help. This was even more difficult than breaking through Yuan Xia's offense head-on.
He said, "This can be considered as a hypothesis. We will eventually launch a counterattack against Yuan Xia, and this treasure must be destroyed!"
