Troops of soldiers entered the Tenki-in Hall's square and began to evacuate the people who stayed here.
The Qingyang Upper Continent had been at war all year round, so the people here knew what was at stake. Tens of thousands of people in the square were evacuated one after another without any accidents or chaos.
After everyone left, the clever birds of creation also left with them. The square suddenly became empty. The original clamor and liveliness faded away, leaving only desolation and silence. The sturdy and majestic walls of the Tianji Headquarters occupied everyone's vision for a moment.
Not long after all the people left, the gate of the Tenki-in Hall, which had not been completely closed, rose with a rumble. A creator with metal strips embedded in his cheeks walked out. He raised his hands and held up a letter in his hand.
Daoist Wan Ming gestured, and a cultivator immediately descended and took the letter.
He checked it, but because there was no seal on it, he opened it and took a look. Then, he soared into the air and presented the letter, saying, "Xuanzheng, this letter seems to be from Fang Yuzhong of the Tenki-in Hall. He says that he is willing to accept Xuanfu's arrangement and disarm all the weapons in the Tenki-in Hall. However, he wants to invite Xuanzheng in for a meeting."
Daoist Wan Ming turned his head and said, "Xuanzheng, could this be a trap?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then said to the cultivator, "Go back and tell the messenger to disarm the Tenki-in Hall and have everyone in the Tenki-in Hall withdraw first. If he agrees, I can meet him in the Tenki-in Hall at a place he thinks is appropriate."
Regardless of whether there was a trap or not, he now had the initiative. He only needed to press forward and he could win. What was the point of talking to the other party? Unless the other party disarmed all resistance first.
If the other party did so, he would avoid a lot of sacrifices and destruction. In that case, he didn't mind giving him a chance.
The Artisan bowed and said: "I'll pass on Zhang Xuanzheng's message." With that, he returned to the camp.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the Artisan came out again and respectfully said, "The president said that he believes in Xuan Zheng's promise, so the president agreed to Xuan Zheng's request."
He took a step to the side. "Xuanfu, you may receive the Tenki-in Hall now." As he spoke, the metal gates in all directions of the military base slowly rose.
Zhang Yu sensed a little. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he raised his hand. Immediately, hundreds of cultivators flew into the military fortress and began to occupy various important positions inside the military fortress.
As Fang Yu had said, he did not put up any resistance. Apart from the main hall where he was located, all other places were completely open to the outside world.
Half a summer's time later, guards from the Inspection Department were transferred from various places into the Tenki-in Hall's headquarters, further strengthening the control here.
Following that, it took a full three days for all the entrances and exits to be opened. Only then were the seventy thousand craftsmen, three hundred thousand apprentices, and a similar number of guards evacuated from the Tenki-in Hall.
However, these people still needed to be screened one by one. This required the cooperation of the two prefectures. Settling these people was not a simple matter. Xuanfu alone could not do it.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Yu led the group of cultivators to the Pivotal Hall deep underground.
Daoist Wan Ming said: "Xuanzheng, Fang Yu is in the Pivotal Hall. This is the only place we haven't checked. We can't be sure if there are still Xuan Weapons buried underground."
Zhang Yu calmly said: "It doesn't matter. I will keep my promise and go in to see this person. You all just wait outside."
Actually, at this time, there was no need for Fang Yu to do such a thing. Firstly, it was meaningless. The Tenki-in Hall's scheme had been exposed. Everything was a foregone conclusion. Whether he was there or not, the result would be the same.
Secondly, with his teleportation ability and the Purple Star Dust on his body, a simple Xuan Weapon explosion would not be much of a threat to him.
After he stepped in, he looked up. In the middle of the spacious hall was a huge glazed column. It seemed to extend from the ground to an infinitely high place. It emitted a gentle light. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked in. Immediately, a flying jade disc came to his feet.
As soon as he stepped on it, the Flying Jade Saucer carried him up steadily. After a few breaths of time, it stopped on a long platform that extended outwards.
He stepped forward and walked along the long platform. At the end was a semicircular metal cabin door. When he got closer, the originally tooth-like teeth opened in all directions.
After he reached the inside, he looked around and found that this was a huge showroom. There were many glazed cabins neatly placed here.
There were all kinds of things placed in the cabins. Even if one did not know how to create things, one could intuitively feel the changes and development of the creation technique just by looking at it.
He walked to the front of a glazed cabin. Inside was a piece of purple moss. It spread and clung to the oval cabin wall. This thing seemed to be a living thing. However, as he looked at it, he felt slightly uneasy. The color gradually changed.
"This is spiritual moss. It is also an important material to build a flying boat. Without it, our flying boat will lose its life."
As the voice came out, Fang Yuzhong walked out. He had white hair on his temples and wore a black robe with knotted buttons. There was a smile on his face, and his appearance was quite good.
He smiled and nodded to Zhang Yu. Then, he came in front of the cabin wall and pointed. "The moss is made up of a kind of fungus. We call it the 'fungus spirit'. This is a wonderful symbiotic body. Although it is very small, it is born with spirituality. We use it to create all kinds of creations. It is also the cornerstone that supports the entire creation system today.
Not only can it fuse with each other, it can also fuse with most non-living things in the world. It can then be transformed into another strange material, or even a completely different life form from the original. "
He said with emotion. "In the past few hundred years, we have found a total of 283 types of fungus spirits. However, we believe that there may be more types of fungus spirits in other corners of the world.
In the long period of exploration, we have found that we can guide and modify them according to the will of the outside world. Yes, our will. They will become life forms according to our will.
Zhang Xuanzheng, can you imagine? When billions of these tiny things are combined, they can produce an extraordinarily powerful force. "
He took a few steps forward and pointed at a metal breastplate placed on a support frame. It looked like a display. "Xuanzheng, please take a look. This is the earliest profound armor."
Zhang Yu shifted his gaze and saw that this thing was suffused with a pale white luster. Its surface was relatively smooth, but it was clear that it was not made of ordinary metal.
Fang Yuzhong said, "Since the development of the outer armor to this day, the process has become more complicated. The one in front of us is the first and the simplest armor. Our craftsmen first used the 'white fungus spirit' and mixed it with metal to create a mold. Oh, just like white paper that can carry all kinds of colors, this fungus spirit can also carry all kinds of fungus spirits.
Some people call this process' fungus spirit pollution ', and we call it' reproduction '.
After the mold was completed, it would only possess a shell with an outer appearance. It still needed to repeatedly fuse and stack with another type of 'metal fungus spirit' in a broad sense before it could complete the final transformation.
The best outer armor at the time needed to undergo over a hundred times of reproduction. We jokingly called it 'Hundred Refinement Armor'.
During this process, we still need to use two different fungus spirits to force them to continue growing. Because once this process stops, they will 'solidify' like water turning into ice, becoming a new life form. We have to keep them flowing at all times. "
He looked at the breastplate, his gaze both regretful and appreciative. "It's just that this kind of outer armor only uses a few types of fungus spirits. It is like a rough blank that is casually hammered into shape, cumbersome and ugly. However, it still represents a starting point. It has everything that an outer armor should have."
Speaking of this, he stretched out his finger and flicked it. With a flash of light, the breastplate instantly fused and shrank inwardly. After a while, it turned into a white gem the size of a fist, and it fell to the ground with a clink.
Fang Yuzhong continued to walk forward. "Xuan Zheng, please look over here."
He pointed at a silver metal sheet that looked even thinner than a piece of paper. "This is the white fungus spirit mold. Don't underestimate this thing. The more refined and pure the mold, the easier it is for subsequent fungus spirits to fuse. The more reproduction, the more changes there will be, and the tougher the profound armor will be. Meanwhile, the molds created by normal craftsmen can only be refined ten or twenty times. Only a few can create molds that are refined over a hundred times."
He sighed. "Fungus spirits are living creatures after all, and they are extremely active. Even if the same batch of fungus spirits fuses with the same object, it will still show different changes. It can be said that not a single change is completely the same. In the beginning, we could only rely on the craftsmen's experience, but …"
His tone became slightly higher. "Xuan Zheng, please look over here." He reached out and pointed at a distant glass cabin.
Zhang Yu glanced over and saw that it was filled with multicolored lights.
Fang Yuzhong walked over and opened his hand in front of the glass cabin. "In order to break through the original shackles, a turning point appeared 120 years ago. Our outstanding craftsmen cultivated large amounts of later fungus spirits from the primordial fungus. They are relatively stable and have very little fluctuations.
On this basis, we were able to summarize a large number of Spirit Fungus Diagrams. As long as an ordinary craftsman follows the diagrams, he or she will be able to create what we need. He or she will no longer have to rely on experience and luck like before.
It's just that there's another difficulty here. Just creating a single creator requires thousands of fungus spirit diagrams. Every diagram is complex and there's not much time for you to look through them during the creation process. That's why a qualified craftsman needs to memorize at least five hundred diagrams.
If one's memory isn't good enough, perhaps they can only be an ordinary craftsman for the rest of their lives. "
Just as he was speaking, the multicolored later fungus spirits began to change color and gradually showed signs of decay.
Fang Yuzhong turned around and smiled. "Zhang Xuan Zheng, the power in your body is too strong, it's already frightening them.
These little things are all sensitive and fragile. Even the slightest influence from the outside world can destroy their existence.
Even if it's just the gaze of you cultivators, it can lead to their death.
This is also the reason why every craftsman can only be an ordinary person. Only ordinary people can come into contact with them. Although we can't cultivate, we use another method to come into contact with the Great Dao. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. "I remember that there were craftsmen in the Tenki-in Hall who practiced Xuan techniques in Xuanfu."
Fang Yuzhong said, "Yes, but they didn't awaken their spirituality. Once they awakened their spirituality, these fungus spirits would no longer get close to them."
He took a step to the side and made an inviting gesture. "Xuan Zheng, please come this way. I want to show you something."
Zhang Yu walked forward. Under his guidance, they arrived at the bottom of the exhibition room.
There was a huge cabin here. It seemed to be a mixture of metal and living things. Inside, there were long and intertwined spirals.
Fang Yuzhong said in a deep voice, "The 'Library Room', also known as the 'Blueprint Core', is the crystallization of wisdom, the treasure of creation. It appeared seventy years ago.
It is a living thing, able to memorize a large number of blueprints and arrange them according to the craftsmen's specific needs.
Relying on it, the craftsmen can break away from those complicated blueprints and focus on the creation. We have also created more creations that are compatible with it and divided the work even more.
Now, it is the heart and brain of every Tenki-in Hall. Just in Guangzhou alone, there are millions of people revolving around it every day. "
He said in a deep voice, "In these seventy years, the Library Room has undergone constant changes and changes. Our skills have also become more and more mature.
And recently, we have made new discoveries. The fungus spirits themselves do not have consciousness, but through certain methods, they can be artificially given and shaped. We believe that this is the key to breaking through to a higher level of creation. "
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Chief Fang invited me here, I presume it isn't just to say these words, and it isn't just for me to see these things, right?"
Fang Yuzhong looked at Zhang Yu and said with an incomparably serious and sincere tone, "After saying so much, I just want to tell Xuan Zheng that it was not easy for us to build this tower of creation from nothing. We used several hundred years to build it, to perfect it, but to destroy it, it only takes an instant."
