Zhang Yu understood the meaning behind Fang Yuzhong's words. Once the matter of the Creation Stage cultivators was exposed, it would inevitably have a far-reaching impact.
As the Xuan Zheng of the Palace, his attitude towards creation was extremely important. If he expressed his rejection of creation or requested for it to be suppressed, then Xuan Ting would very likely consider his suggestion. It was even possible that the Xuan Ting Sect would suppress it.
After all, the current Tianxia was dominated by the Daoist cultivators led by Xuanting. However, the power of the Creation Stage that had been developed in just a few hundred years was very limited. In the various continents of Tianxia, it was far from being comparable to the Daoist cultivators.
In Zhang Yu's view, there was no right or wrong in the Creation Stage. The development of the Creation Stage had actually provided great convenience for the military and the people of Tianxia.
However, this kind of thing had to be restricted. Although there were certain rules and restrictions in the past, they were not enough.
However, this was very normal. The development of the Creation Stage was still very short for the Daoist cultivators. There were some problems that had never appeared in the past. Moreover, it seemed that the benefits of the Creation Stage outweighed the disadvantages.
Moreover, he knew that the Creation Stage cultivators could not be done by the Tenki-in Hall alone. In fact, it was because of the participation and guidance of the Daoist cultivators.
Without the guidance of the Daoist cultivators, they would not be able to do this even if they were given another hundred years.
As such, the root of the problem did not lie in the Creation Stage.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to simply and crudely remove the Creation Stage from the Creation Stage.
Fang Yuzhong was right. In the Light Province alone, there were over a million people circling around the Tenki-in Hall.
Of the 23 provinces of the Azure Sun Upper Continent, each had a Tenki-in Hall. Even if it was not as large as the Light Province, it still involved a large number of people.
In addition, the materials used in the Creation Stage did not come out of thin air. There were also the collection and cultivation of various spirit bacteria. The number of people involved in the Creation Stage was more than ten million.
No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible to deny this path so easily.
After thinking for a while, he said calmly, "I know what General Secretary Fang means. I can tell General Secretary Fang that in the memorial to Xuanting later, I will have a fair judgment on the matter of creation and will not be biased."
Fang Yuzhong looked straight at him and nodded: "Then I thank Zhang Xuanzheng on behalf of the millions of craftsmen in Azure Sun Upper Continent." With that, he raised his hands and bowed towards Zhang Yuzhong with a serious expression.
Zhang Yu said, "President Fang, if you don't have anything else to say or pack up, then leave with me. There will be a proper trial for your crimes later."
Fang Yuzhong said calmly, "This Fang is willing to accept Tianxia's judgment, but this Fang has one more thing that I need to say to Xuan Zheng." He paused slightly and said in a heavy voice: "Regarding the Creation Stage's skills, it might have already been spread."
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed: "Might? What do you mean? "
Fang Yuzhong sighed: "Xuan Zheng might already know that I am a Creation Stage cultivator. My main purpose in Qingyang Tenki-in Hall was to develop the Creation Stage's skills.
Regarding the Creation Stage's skills, under the premise that I could not control them, I have already transferred them out. "
Zhang Yu stared at him: "Who did General Secretary Fang transfer these skills to?"
Fang Yuzhong smiled bitterly: "This is what this Fang wanted to say." He nodded his head: "This Fang did this under almost certain circumstances, so I do not know who it was passed to."
He sighed and said: "My apologies, this Fang was previously under someone's control and had to act according to the orders that were previously rooted in my consciousness. Now that I have done all this, I am finally free. The current me is the real me."
Zhang Yu changed his mind: "General Secretary Fang should not have left the Tenki-in Hall recently, then how did you transfer these skills? Did you ask someone to do it? "
Fang Yuzhong said in a low voice, "I checked after the incident. I didn't ask anyone to do it, but according to my own investigation, it should have been sent out through the outer layer." He paused. "This doesn't exclude the lower layer."
Zhang Yu pondered: "The outer layer and the lower layer …"
The so-called outer layer was relative to the area where Tianxia's continents were located. Tianxia had built a large number of fortresses and military strongholds in the outer layer. It was said that many of the heavenly cities that Tianxia used when he came to this world stayed there and were used to deal with the enemies in the outer layer.
Monsters such as Taibo and the Nightmares had all come in from the outer layer.
Some small objects and messages could be sent directly to the outer layer through certain means through the transition between layers.
In the past, under the influence of the Turbid Tide, the Qingyang Upper Continent's path was cut off, and the most common way of communicating with Yujing and the other continents was through the outer layer.
However, this method of communication was not reliable because the outer layer was complex, and information was easily lost and damaged.
As for the lower layer …
He had heard a little about this, but he did not know much about it.
He thought for a moment and said: "Before I came here, I intercepted Guard Wei's group returning to the General Secretary. Master Dou, who was in charge of recording, should not have handed over the final record to General Secretary Fang."
Fang Yuzhong said: "Yes, what I sent out was only the skills and records that the Wu Institute and the others had handed over to the General Secretary. However, the final part was not included. Just as Xuanzheng said, Guard Wei did not bring it back."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. This was good news. It meant that the skills that Fang Yuzhong sent out were not complete.
Even if he was not an artisan, he knew that the slightest difference in the skills of creation could lead to a great deviation, let alone the most crucial part.
However, he still could not let his guard down. After all, the Wu Institute and the others had succeeded. If they could succeed, then there was a possibility that others could succeed as well.
He asked: "General Secretary Fang, if someone obtains these skills, do you think they can use them to complete the missing parts?"
Fang Yuzhong said: "That depends on who it is. If it is a skilled artisan, then it is hard to say."
Zhang Yu said, "I know that I know quite a few Master Craftsmen, and I know that Master Craftsmen have the most revered status in your Divination Institute. In your opinion, how much of an impact do you think a Master Craftsmen like him will have in this matter?"
Fang Yuzhong replied: "To judge a master artisan, the most fundamental benchmark is to see if he can jump out of the constraints of the blueprint and create his own skills. Only by relying on his own experience and knowledge, and using only the original spirit bacteria, can an artisan be called a master artisan."
"A true master artisan's understanding and knowledge of creation far surpasses that of an ordinary artisan. If the artisan knows the skills, and the master artisan knows the skills, then what a master artisan explores is the Dao!"
"However, today's master artisans are only recognized by their qualifications. They do not have such outstanding abilities and may bear such a title. At least in terms of skills, they are qualified."
Zhang Yu nodded. It seemed that a skilled master artisan could indeed create many seemingly impossible miracles. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were also seeking the Dao. He could not ignore this matter. He had to find a way to find out where those skills had been transferred to.
When he saw that Fang Yuzhong had nothing else to say, he took him out of the Pivotal Hall of the General Court and temporarily handed him over to Daoist Wan Ming.
Because this matter involved all parties, he needed to communicate with the two manors about how to deal with this person. After that, he and Yun Chen would write a letter to Xuanting and let Xuanting decide.
After Fang Yuzhong was temporarily detained, in order to avoid any accidents, he ordered more than a hundred cultivators to enter the Pivotal Hall of the General Court to conduct a final inspection.
Half a day later, a cultivator came out, cupped his hands, and said: "Xuanzheng, we have checked together with the master artisans who are willing to cooperate. There are no dangerous things left inside. We only found these things in a secret room next door, but we can't identify what they are."
He turned sideways and said: "Bring it up."
Behind him, a servant walked up with a jade plate. He removed the cloth covering the plate, revealing a few broken stone slabs. Many strange and obscure symbols were engraved on the surface of the slabs.
After Zhang Yu saw it, his eyes narrowed slightly.
These things were very similar to the stone slabs his adoptive father left him. He picked one up and looked at it. That's right, it was the same thing.
He thought about it. His adoptive father had left many clues about these stone slabs. It seemed that he wanted him to find these things. However, he had his own path, and at that time, he didn't think he was strong enough, so he didn't look for it. He didn't expect to see something similar here.
He felt that this matter wasn't simple, so he took these stone slabs and found Fang Yuzhong who was detained in the hall. He asked him: "General Fang, do you recognize these stone slabs?"
Fang Yuzhong glanced at them and said: "These should be the stone slabs I collected, but they weren't given to me by my own will. They were given to me by the person who created me. After I passed on the skills of a creator, I lost a part of my memory, including this part."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Zhang Yu flicked his sleeve and put away these stone slabs. He was going to translate them when he returned.
Because there was no need for him to stay in the Tenki-in Hall, he walked out from the front. At this moment, the sun was shining. The sunlight outside was warm and genial, adding some warmth to the cold and hard walls of the Tenki-in Hall.
He stood on the square with his sleeves behind his back. He saw that the creator-level spiritual birds with beautiful feathers had returned. Some of them even danced under the sunlight. It was quite pleasing to the eye.
After watching for a while, he suddenly sensed something and looked up. He saw a cloud boat floating in the sky. A white-clothed woman holding a vermilion jade flute stood on it and bowed to him.
He remembered that this was the female cultivator he saw in the open sea during the battle of Bai Xiudou. She didn't seem to be a cultivator from the Qingyang Upper Continent. Now that she appeared here, she seemed to be looking for him.
With a thought, he flew up on the light and arrived above the cloud in a flash.
