Behind the General Secretary of the Inspection Department, there was a straight path made of jade that led to a magnificent hall.
However, if one were to look down from above, it was as if this place had been erased from one's senses.
And this place was the only portal in Qingyang Upper Continent that could directly communicate with Xuanting.
As for Xuanfu, under normal circumstances, with the ability of a continent's Head Xuan, he could directly communicate with Xuanting with his own spiritual power, so there was no need for him to go through here.
At this moment, Zhang Yu and Yun Chen were walking along this path to this hall.
After the two stepped into the inner hall, a deep pool of water appeared in front of them. The two did not stop, walking along the flat bridge above the water until they came to a round platform in the middle.
After standing for a while, the pool water began to rise slowly, and as the water level gradually rose above their heads, the two felt their senses suddenly disappear, as if they had been moved into another world.
The surroundings were empty and quiet, as if there was an endless void. There was only a large jade wall in front of them. The surface of the jade wall was smooth, and it was emitting a faint light.
Yun Chen said to Zhang Yu, "Xuan Zheng, please wait a moment." Then, he tidied his Head Xuan robe, walked forward, and raised the jade box with the memorial in his hand, saying, "Qingyang Xuanfu Head Xuan Yun Chen has a report."
As soon as his voice fell, a light fell from the jade wall and enveloped him. After a while, the light dissipated, and the jade box in his hand disappeared.
Yun Chen bowed and retreated from the top, then said to Zhang Yu, "Xuan Zheng, it's your turn to deliver the memorial."
Zhang Yu nodded. He also came under the large jade wall, and handed over a jade box that he had prepared in advance, and said loudly, "Qingyang Xuanfu Head Xuan Zheng Zhang Yu, delivering a memorial."
He pushed the jade box up slightly, and a similar ray of light shone down. His hand lightened slightly, and the jade box disappeared. However, the ray of light that shone on his body did not fade away.
Then, he saw a Daoist covered in golden light appear there. He vaguely felt that this was the Daoist who had given him the imperial edict back then. However, at this moment, he could clearly see the figure, but he felt that it was very far away.
The Daoist stood there and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, you've done well. You've lived up to our expectations. Xuanting's official reply will arrive soon. When the time comes, there will be rewards. You just have to wait patiently."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu raised his hands and bowed. "Thank you for the information, Supreme Venerable One."
The Daoist nodded at him, and then his figure suddenly vanished. Along with his disappearance, the golden light in the surroundings also vanished without a trace.
Although they had exchanged a few words, the outside world only felt like an instant had passed.
He glanced at the big jade wall again, and with a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and walked back.
Yun Chen waited for him to come closer and said, "Xuanzheng, we've sent the memorial. We're waiting for Xuanting's reply."
Zhang Yu nodded. Just as the two of them were talking, they heard the sound of water. A ray of light appeared above their heads, and they saw the pool of water receding from there. Soon, it returned to its original height. The stone platform they were standing on was also revealed, and the big jade wall was nowhere to be seen.
The two of them walked out of the hall together. Yun Chen said as he walked, "Regarding the selection of the head of the twenty to thirty prefectures, I discussed it with my fellow Daoists yesterday, and we've come up with a plan." He took out a letter from his sleeve. "Xuanzheng, why don't you take a look?"
Zhang Yu did not reach out to take it. He shook his head and said, "Head Xuanzheng, you can make the decision."
It was Head Xuanzheng's responsibility to decide on the head of the prefectures, and how to arrange them. He, Xuanzheng, would not interfere. If he did, it would only be when someone was not suitable for the position.
Seeing that he was unwilling to read it, Yun Chen had no choice but to take back the book and said, "Xuan Zheng, although this time the name list is fixed, there is not a single cultivator in the twenty-three prefectures who is in charge of the position of Prefecture Lord. I think this is not appropriate. What do you think?"
Zhang Yu heard him ask this. He thought for a while and said, "Head Xuanzheng's arrangement is correct.
Most Monk Hunjang has been deeply influenced by the Great Chaos. The higher their cultivation, the easier it is to change. No one knows when they will become a monster of the Great Chaos.
They can't even control themselves, so how can they take care of others?
Therefore, it is not appropriate to make them the head of the prefectures. Not only that, if they act in the prefectures, I think they must be controlled by Xuanfu at all times. This is not only for the sake of Xuanfu, but also for the sake of the people of the prefectures. "
Yun Chen sighed. How could he not know the danger of the immoral cultivators being influenced by the Great Chaos?
The great enemy that had fought with his teacher had become like that because he had entered the Great Chaos.
However, he felt that it was inappropriate to completely exclude Monk Hunjang from the name list.
He sighed and said, "But many unruly cultivators have made contributions, especially in the punitive expedition against the Frost Island and the arrest of the avatar of creation. There were unruly cultivators involved in both of these. If we don't give them some opportunities, how can we appease them? Does Head Xuanzheng have any suggestions? "
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "Monk Hunjang used to set up stations outside the prefectures. If Head Xuanzheng is willing, you can choose a few stations and set them up as the prefectures. Your position is not below the prefectures of the prefectures. This will appease them."
Yun Chen was moved and said, "This is a good idea. We will discuss it again."
The immoral cultivators did not care about the population, nor did they care about the territory under their rule. They only cared about the status. This way, they would be appeased.
Moreover, the immoral cultivators would be restrained outside the prefectures. Even if they lost control for a while, it would not affect the people in the prefectures. This was a good thing for both sides.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "This is only a temporary measure. If this goes on for a long time, they will gradually drift away from Xuanfu. If we want them to integrate into Xuanfu, we need to solve the Great Chaos that has invaded their bodies and minds.
In my opinion, to help them resolve the difficulties in their path of cultivation and find a way to guide them onto the right path, this is something that our Profound Palace should do. "
Yun Chen nodded and said, "What Xuanzheng said is reasonable. Since I am Head Xuanzheng, I will do my best to solve this problem."
After the two of them returned to the Inspection Department along the main road, Zhang Yu walked towards his own inner hall. Just as he stepped inside, a servant reported, "Teacher, three cultivators claiming to be your students have come looking for you. The one in the lead is surnamed Zheng."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "They are indeed my students. Call them to the study room."
The servant immediately left to carry out the order.
Zhang Yu walked through the corridor of the inner hall and sat down in the study room. Not long after, Zheng Yu, Yan Yuming, and Jia Yue came in. When they saw him, they were slightly excited and saluted.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Did everything go smoothly on your way here?"
Yan Yuming was slightly excited and said, "Teacher, the journey was very convenient, especially from the Moon Province to the Guangzhou Province. We thought we would spend the whole day on the road, but we only spent half a day."
Zhang Yu nodded and had them sit down to talk. After asking a few questions, he looked at Jia Yue and said, "I already know why Senior Brother Fan asked you to come here. You can stay in the Green Sun Xuanfu and cultivate. I will give you some pointers. Whether or not you succeed will depend on yourself."
He could see that Jia Yue was full of Qi. This was the time when a cultivator progressed the fastest in this stage. Every day of cultivation was very precious. If she could grasp this opportunity, she would be able to greatly shorten the threshold for entering the next chapter.
He understood Fan Lan's consideration. If Jia Yue returned to the East Court, she would be delayed for a long time on the road. It would be very disadvantageous for her. If he stayed here, there might be another talent in the East Court.
Jia Yue stood up and bowed. She said seriously, "Thank you, Martial Uncle Zhang."
Zheng Yu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over. He said, "Teacher, this is a letter from Yu Mingyang. He asked me to give it to you."
Zhang Yu took it and read it. He said, "So it's about this."
According to some old sayings in Tianxia, the longer a fetus was in the mother's womb, the more miraculous it would be after birth. However, this saying was actually a bit exaggerated.
There was a scholar from Tianxia who was very interested in this matter and did some research. He found that the majority of babies who had been in the womb for a long time were not much different from other babies after they were born. After they grew up, only a few of them were outstanding, but they did not reach the level that people expected.
This could only be said to be "different" here, which increased the expectations parents had for their children. In fact, this was not necessarily a good thing.
However, besides this, there was actually another possibility.
That was, a cultivator's soul was entrusted to him.
However, once a cultivator was reincarnated, they would have to give up all of their own consciousness in order to form a bond with the fetus. In reality, after they were born, they would no longer be the same person as before. They would merely be giving a new baby a chance at life.
In fact, if there were powerful cultivators in the cultivator's sect, as long as their soul was still preserved, they could use the blood essence they left with their seniors to reconstruct a body. Through this, they could achieve a certain degree of "resurrection".
It was also because of this that when he dealt with Bai Xiu, he directly destroyed his soul. This was to not give him a chance to resurrect.
However, the possibility of this happening to Yu Mingyang's child was really too small. Not to mention cultivators, in areas where there were many EsGod's, if an infant was blessed by an EsGod or used some kind of method, it was possible for it to stay in the mother's womb for a long time.
Thinking up to here, he thought for a moment, then picked up the brush and wrote two words. The moment he put down the brush, a faint golden light flashed on the surface of the words.
He said to Zheng Yu, "Junior Brother Zheng, take this book back intact and give it to Mingyang."
Zheng Yu came up to take it and said seriously, "I will follow Teacher's instructions. I will definitely deliver it personally."
After Zhang Yu came down and asked the three of them a few more questions, he let them stay here first. Since he was going to teach Jia Yue, he might as well teach Zheng Yu and Yan Yuming as well. It was just delaying his return for a few days.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
On this day, he had just come out of seclusion in the inner room when he suddenly sensed something. He walked along the Inspector Department's backyard to the main road, then saw two rays of light coming from the main hall at the end of the main road. One ray of light went straight for Xuanfu, while the other ray of light went straight for him and enveloped him!
