The long-bearded Daoist stroked his beard and pondered. He said, "I know Xu Chengtong. He used to be the deacon of Kui Suyou City. He did have a lot of achievements, but he might not be loyal to that person. Are you mistaken? Maybe he just succumbed to that person's methods? "
The cultivator in ancient clothing shook his head and said, "We don't need to know his past identity. We only need to see what he is doing now. If that person has methods to control him, then shouldn't we be more careful?"
The long-bearded Daoist thought for a while and said, "That's true. Now that the new governor of Xuanting has not arrived, it is indeed a good time to make a move in Dongting. However, the Protectorate is not the same as before. Not only is there a group of armored soldiers guarding it, there is also a forbidden formation. If he is in the city, he will be able to get support in an instant. It is best if we can lure him out of Auspicious Light City before making a move."
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "Don't worry. When the time comes, there will be people who will help us divert the attention of the Protectorate."
"Who?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing said carelessly, "A group of sneaky people, the Revival Society. You know, a few days ago, that person seemed to have destroyed some plans of the Revival Society. Coincidentally, I have a disciple who has some connections with them. They said they would help us. "
The long-bearded Daoist asked cautiously, "Can you trust them?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "We are just using each other. Don't worry, they don't know our origins."
Following which, he sneered and said, "A bunch of EsGods that should have been buried long ago, but this person insisted on trying to pull them out. Fortunately, these people can be used by me now, so I'll let them live for a while longer. After I rise again, I'll take care of them."
The long-bearded Daoist nodded and said, "Now let's see when the chess piece you have prepared can be used."
Zhang Yu stayed in the Liu residence for two days before leaving. This time, he took the scroll with him.
This scroll used a mystical power, so it needed to be deciphered with a mystical power. Zhu Anshi also found that this thing was not something he could understand, so he was willing to entrust this thing to him for safekeeping.
Xin Yao also took her leave with him. As cultivators, they didn't take the creator's carriage. Instead, they strolled along the shady path surrounded by flowers on both sides.
The scene in front of Zhang Yu reminded him of the first time he met Xin Yao when he first entered the Imperial Palace. It was also at that time that he was recommended by her and successfully entered Xuanfu.
If a cultivator did not deliberately forget, then he would have a clear memory of every moment of the past. Even after hundreds of years, this memory would not change. Therefore, the friendship between cultivators would not be erased by the long distance and time. For them, everything was as if it had happened yesterday.
At this time, he said, "Auspicious Light City has changed a lot."
Xin Yao said, "It has changed a lot. I heard that there is a saying among the students in the Imperial Palace. They say that the changes in the Protectorate are due to creation. Creation airships, creation carriages, and all kinds of creation tools are what make our lives so beautiful.
Also, because of the Warship Airships and Xuan Weapons, the native tribes of the past are now very tame. Therefore, they think that the existence of Xuanfu is no longer necessary. They think that they only need to focus on creation to make Tianxia strong and prosperous. They also want to build a Creation Academy in the Protectorate. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Many people can only see what is in front of them and can't see further, let alone the past and the future. They use their limited knowledge to make conclusions and judge the entire world. Of course, they will be narrow-minded, but this is not strange.
We should not look down on them. At least their original intentions are good. When they see more, they will naturally change. But those who have other motives behind them cannot be easily indulged. "
At this point, he paused and said, "I have met many such people in the outer regions. Their main purpose is to make creation replace our generation of Xuanxiu."
Xin Yao heard this and looked over, "Replace Xuanxiu?"
Zhang Yu said, "Just like Xuanting vigorously promoted the Xuan method in the past, some people also hope that creation can replace the Xuan method. It's just that there are too many ways that creation can be used. I presume that Senior Sister Xin has also heard about the matter of Qingyang. "
Xin Yao nodded lightly, "I heard about this matter from a fellow Daoist who came from Qingyang."
Zhang Yu said, "Creation itself is not wrong, but there are many people behind it who have ulterior motives. Senior Sister Xin should also remind Senior Brother Xiang to pay attention to this matter and not be easily indulged."
Xin Yao said with a slightly serious expression, "I will." After walking for a while, she said, "I heard that Junior Brother Zhang is planning to spend the New Year in the Protectorate?"
Zhang Yu said, "The Protectorate is my hometown. I have been away for several years and it's rare for me to come back. Naturally, I want to go back after the New Year."
Xin Yao said, "How about the outer regions?"
Zhang Yu looked at her and said, "Does Senior Sister Xin want to go to the outer regions?"
Xin Yao looked into the distance and said, "I went to Qingyang three years ago. At that time, Junior Brother Zhang had just left. The current Protectorate is not much different from Qingyang. I heard that the outer regions are very different. Now that they are recruiting people, I also want to go and take a look."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "After the New Year, I will return to the inner regions. If Senior Sister Xin thinks it is okay, you can take my flying boat and go together."
Xin Yao adjusted her glasses and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother. We will talk about it when the time comes."
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the tree-lined path and came to an open road. Xin Yao turned around and bowed to Zhang Yu. She said, "I am going back to the Academy. I will say goodbye to Junior Brother Zhang here."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed in return.
After saying goodbye to Xin Yao, he looked up at the sky. After a few breaths, he was back on the white boat in the sky.
When he came to the main cabin and sat down, he called out in his mind and summoned the Great Way Manuscript. Then, he poured most of the Divine Vitality he obtained from the various ruins and even the destruction of a Divine Kingdom into the Seal of Righteous Self.
The seal was much brighter than before after being poured in. He felt that the seal was still a little bit away from being complete. It would take a long time to refine the Divine Vitality on his own. On the other hand, although it was more dangerous and difficult to find those ancient objects to absorb the Origin Energy, it actually greatly reduced the time it took.
With a change of mind, he put away the seal and took out the picture scroll. He unfolded it in the main cabin and hung it on one of the cabin walls. Then, he raised his head and looked at the cultivator in the picture. He was wearing a daoist robe and a star crown.
Zhu Anshi and Liu Guang believed that this Daoist cultivator did not refer to a single person. Instead, it referred to Tianxia in the prophecy. It was prophesied that the people of Tianxia would come in contact with these giants one day in the future.
Xin Yao was very cautious and did not make a judgment because she knew that once the mysterious power was involved, there would be many variables. It was not something that could be determined by ordinary inference.
Zhang Yu had a different opinion about this.
This was because although the Daoist cultivator was sleeping when facing the giant, he could not help but think of the memory he saw in EsGod. Did that foretell that he was about to go find the giant and find him?
If that was the case, then the Daoist cultivator might not be referring to anyone else, but him!
Perhaps it was because he had this idea before, and in addition, it was his Light of Mind that had reappeared the shadow of the giant tree in the picture, so there was this foreshadowing of the picture.
If he looked at it this way, what the entire picture showed might be the "future" of a certain moment in the past. Some of it might have really happened, and some of it was just a prophecy.
If that was the case, there was no explanation for the picture being messy.
Just as he was thinking, his eyes narrowed slightly because at this moment, the Daoist cultivator in the picture seemed to have undergone some changes.
The Daoist cultivator was originally standing with his back facing the picture, but now his head was slightly tilted. He seemed to be looking at something, and his gaze fell on a golden ring on the giant's wrist.
But this thing didn't exist before.
Moreover, this thing gave him a sense of déjà vu. With a thought, he could already tell that this thing was very similar to the "Divine Ring of Creation" he had seen in the Azure Sun Spiritual Pass.
A thought flashed through his mind. From the looks of it, the omen on the map was most likely due to his expectations.
He stared at the golden ring. If this thing really existed, it was worth him trying to inquire about it.
Somewhere outside Auspicious Light City, in an underground quiet room, Pang Li sat cross-legged, looking at a scroll formed by mist in front of him. Densely packed words appeared on it.
According to the person who claimed to be his teacher in his previous life, the words on it were actually reflected from a jade tablet.
It was a secret technique passed down from several Xuan Zun. It allowed cultivators who cultivated with the help of the Great Primal Chaos Force to maintain a certain level of clarity while obtaining power. They could also strengthen themselves according to a certain method, rather than allowing the Primal Chaos Force to brutally transform their bodies.
At the same time, the voice told him that if he failed to cultivate, then he would become an irrational monster. At that time, he would be doomed eternally, and even his soul would not be able to be preserved. The voice also told him to make his own choice.
He only hesitated for a moment before deciding to learn the method on it.
Not only did he hate Zhang Yu, but he also knew that his aptitude was actually not as good as his teacher's.
Previously, he had asked Tai Zhengping for advice on the grounds of asking for guidance. Under the side knock, he also came to the conclusion that what the voice told him was true. Their lineage had to pass through the heart, so he naturally would not be an outsider.
The problem was that even his teacher could not pass through it, and he still had to pursue the path of the Xuan Zun. He knew that he could not do it either. Since he would have to walk on this path sooner or later, he might as well accept this person's advice earlier. This way, he could avoid many years of bitter cultivation.
As for whether or not Tai Zhengping would notice, the voice promised that it would try to divert his attention. If he made up his mind, then he would hurry up.
As he referred to the cultivation method on it, he did not speak or move for many days. After ten days, he opened his eyes, and his pupils turned into a golden-red color. Outside his body, a mass of black Qi surged out.
