About half an hour later, Wen Liang removed his hand from Master Chen's forehead, and a scroll with a flickering light appeared in his hand. He turned around and handed it to Zhang Yu, saying, "Xuan Zheng, it's all here."
Master Chen took a look and said, "This method is very interesting, can you let this old man take a look?"
He did not want to confirm if there was any of his privacy on the scroll, but he was really interested in it and wanted to see how far this spell could go.
Zhang Yu gestured to Wen Liang, and the latter handed the scroll to him.
Master Chen took it and opened it. His eyes lit up, and he flipped to the back.
He found that everyone in the scroll was the same as what he had originally recorded. Some of the details of the features, even he himself might not be able to remember, but now they were vivid in his mind.
He clicked his tongue in wonder and sighed, "After the Heaven's Secrets Courtyard was established, there was a trend. It was said that once the Heaven's Secrets Creation filled Tianxia, there would no longer be a need for divine arts and Dao techniques in the world.
If you ask me, this view is both right and wrong. To achieve this step, one needs to understand the principles of the world, but if one can really achieve it, how is this different from the Dao that cultivators pursue? "
Then, he stood up and handed the scroll to Zhang Yu with both hands.
After Zhang Yu took it, he flipped through it a little and memorized it all. Then, he left the prison ship with Wen Liang and flew to the main ship. After a short report, he came to the hall and saw Cao Du again.
After he roughly told him about the trip, he took out the scroll. "The creators from the Frost Continent are all here. General Cao can take a look and see if there is anyone you know."
Cao Du took it and roughly flipped through it. With the power of his divine robe, he only used half a summer to read through more than three thousand people.
With a serious expression, he said, "There are indeed many people I know here, but their positions are not high. If it's true, I'll go back and take them down one by one."
Zhang Yu said, "If that's all, these people aren't that dangerous. But there's another person we need to pay attention to, and that's Fang Yuzhong, the head of the Green Sun Tenki-in Hall. According to Master Craftsman Chen, this person is very likely to be an Artisan, and this matter is somewhat related to the higher-ups."
Cao Du's expression was solemn as he said, "Fang Yuzhong, is he also an Creator …?"
He had long suspected that someone in the upper echelons had been replaced by a creator. He suspected many people, but he did not expect this master craftsman to be a creator himself.
Zhang Yu said, "I just took a look. Some of the Artisans I know are not on this list. I can be sure that in addition to the Frost Continent, the Tenki-in Hall in the continent also privately created many Artisans."
For example, Huiyuan Wu was an Artisan, and there might be others like him among the sects outside the domain. Then what was the purpose of the Tenki-in Hall creating these people?
He suspected that this matter was related to Fang Yuzhong, who was an Artisan himself.
Cao Du said in a low voice, "These people must also be found. However, if this matter is really related to Fang Yuzhong, we can't arrest such a person based on Master Craftsman Chen's one-sided statement. "
In terms of position, the head of the Tenki-in Hall was equal to the governor, the commandant, and even the imperial censor. Moreover, the Tenki-in Hall was under the jurisdiction of the Yujing Ministry of Heavenly Works. Even if they had evidence, they would have to report it to the Yujing and cooperate with the higher-ups to arrest this person. Normally, they would not be able to touch this person.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. In fact, as Xuan Zheng, he had the right to arrest first and then question later. However, Cao Du's words were very reasonable. Although Fang Yuzhong was very suspicious, they could not arrest him based on Master Craftsman Chen's testimony alone.
Moreover, such a person would definitely have sufficient strength to protect him, and he might even have prepared many substitutes. Directly arresting him was indeed not a good idea.
If this triggered some kind of arrangement, it might lead to irreversible consequences. Thus, they had to start from other places first.
He thought for a moment and said, "General Cao, you can investigate the Sharp Strike Army thoroughly according to the original plan. I will return to the continent first and have the Xuanfu and the Inspection Department cooperate with the investigation to guard against any abnormal movements. I will first try to arrest those Artisans who have dealings with the Frost Continent. If we can arrest this person, we might be able to interrogate him or her. Then, we will decide according to the situation."
Cao Du thought for a moment, then clasped his hands together. Solemnly, he said, "Then I will have to trouble Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu also bowed. "I will leave some people to protect General. General needs to be more careful."
This matter involved a great deal. There were a total of five hundred thousand people here. If Cao Du began to investigate, it was difficult to guarantee that some people in the continent would not receive the news. It was unclear how they would react, but they would certainly not wait for death.
Cao Du said, "Zhang Xuan Zheng, don't worry. Before the ghosts in the continent are eliminated, I will protect myself."
Zhang Yu bid farewell to Cao Du and came out. First, he summoned the cultivators, and then let Daoist Wan Ming and some other cultivators stay to preside over this matter.
He also called Shi Yue, Cao Fangding, Wen Liang, and the others, and asked them to return with him this time.
After everything was arranged, he left the Solitary Continent and used two days to return to Fang Tai's encampment.
After arriving here, he heard that Yun Chen had received a letter from the continent not long ago. After leaving a few words, he set off back.
The war was over, and there were no more threats in the Wilderness, so there was no need for someone to preside over this station.
However, he vaguely felt that Yun Chen's return this time might not be so simple.
He stayed at the station for a while, then continued on his journey with Wen Liang, Shi Yue, and the others.
He did not directly return to the Qingyang Upper Continent, but went to the Southwest Wilderness.
According to the previous words of Master Weng and Master Chen, there was a master craftsman named Han Shi here. This person often exchanged skills with the Shuang Continent Institute.
Previously, this person even exchanged the original armor and part of the original armor forging skills with the Shuang Continent. Such a behavior was definitely colluding with the enemy, so the first person he wanted to catch was this person.
At the same time, Yun Chen also returned to the Xuanfu of the Anshou Prefecture. He saw Daoist Ming Shan waiting for him, and hurriedly came up and bowed, "Senior Brother Ming Shan, why did you call me back so urgently this time?"
Ming Shan said, "Head Xuan has something important to tell you. You will know when you see him."
Yun Chen tidied up his robe, entered the pavilion through the main door, and then flew up to the Crane Hall. After landing, he saw Zhu Xuan sitting on the futon.
At this moment, he felt the atmosphere was solemn, and his heart was slightly shaken. He calmed down a little, came up and bowed, "Disciple greets teacher."
Zhu Xuan said, "I called you back because I have something to tell you. Listen carefully."
Yun Chen's expression was solemn, and he bowed, "Teacher, please tell me, disciple is here to listen."
Zhu Xuanshou raised his head to look at the banyan tree above and said, "I have been guarding this place for more than sixty years to keep my promise to one person. Now that that person has awakened, a battle between me and this person is unavoidable. No matter who wins or loses, I will not be able to return to this place. I have already submitted a letter to Xuanting. After I leave, you will take over the position of Zhu Xuanshou."
Yun Chen's heart was heavy and worried, but he was already prepared for his teacher's arrangement. He bowed and said seriously, "Disciple obeys teacher's order."
Zhu Xuan said, "Your cultivation is still lacking, but you have accumulated enough. I will teach you a Dao technique to help you cultivate the Primordial Spirit Reflection. No matter the outcome of this battle, I will give you the Azure Sun Wheel. With this treasure, you will be able to hold on to your position."
Yun Chen said, "Yes, disciple will follow teacher's example and guard this continent."
Zhu Xuan shook his head, "Don't follow me, just be yourself." He paused, looked at Yun Chen, and said seriously, "Now that the enemies inside and outside of Azure Sun have been destroyed or chased away, there should be no external threats for a hundred years. But you still have to be careful, remember what I said!"
Yun Chen said seriously, "Yes, disciple will remember."
Zhu Xuan said, "Come and sit in front of me."
Yun Chen obeyed and approached him. After bowing, he sat down.
Zhu Xuan started to chant something in a low voice. Yun Chen could only feel the sound of Dao entering his ears. His mind was calm for a moment, and his body seemed to be enveloped by a light. Within the light, there were countless Dao techniques entering his mind, and he slowly entered a state of calmness.
When he woke up, he found that his aura was surging, as if he could break through the realm with just a little bit of Dao. He stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you teacher for your help."
Zhu Xuan said, "Just now, you could have broken through the realm in one go, but your foundation is not solid enough. Go back and cultivate on your own. If you are fast, it will take half a month, and if you are slow, it will take more than a hundred days. When the conditions are right, success will come naturally."
Yun Chen said yes.
Zhu Xuan said, "If you have nothing else, you may leave."
Yun Chen thought for a while and said, "Teacher, disciple has something to ask."
Zhu Xuan said, "Go ahead."
Yun Chen said, "This time, disciple is making arrangements outside the region. Regardless of merit or cultivation, Zhang Xuanzheng is more suitable for the position of Xuan Head. Teacher is not a narrow-minded person, and you did not have a choice in the past. But since you have a choice, why didn't you recommend Zhang Xuanzheng and use me instead?"
Zhu Xuan shook his head and said, "Overseeing a continent can be ignored, but you must have the corresponding cultivation. Otherwise, everyone will bully you. The Azure Sun Wheel was created by your grandmaster to protect the Azure Sun Upper Continent. It contains my lineage's Dao of Heart Enlightenment. If you hold this treasure and cultivate day and night diligently, you will be able to cultivate the Primordial Spirit in less than thirty years.
On the other hand, the Profound Cultivation Method had its flaws. At his current level, it was already very difficult for him to advance any further unless he had other opportunities. However, how could opportunities be obtained just because he wanted to? Moreover, his position as Xuanzheng was conferred by Xuanting. Whatever position he takes, it is not up to me to decide. "
Yun Chen was enlightened. He bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me, disciple will take his leave."
Zhu Xuan nodded silently.
Yun Chen bowed again and retreated.
After he left the Crane Hall, he was thinking about what happened just now. He thought to himself, "Teacher said that Qingyang Upper Continent shouldn't have any external troubles, but he also told me to be careful. Could it be that there will be internal troubles?"
