Zhang Yu said, "I need a record of the Zhu Juan."
Daoist Ming Zhou pointed. A jade tablet supported by mist floated in front of him. He said, "Zhang Shouzheng, the records of the Vermillion Cormorant are here."
Zhang Yu did not take it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Whose record did Shouzheng read?"
Ming Zhou replied respectfully, "Shouzheng read all the records of the Xuan Zun other than the Zhi Zu and the Zhi Zu."
Zhang Yu asked, "What about the Guardians of the various continents?"
Ming Zhou lowered his head and said, "They can be read, but they need to be reported to Xuanting and explain the reason."
Zhang Yu immediately understood what was going on. He stretched out his hand and brought the jade tablet to his eyes. The item immediately dispersed in his palm, turning into a ball of brilliant light. He focused his gaze on it, and in an instant, sound and light entered his consciousness.
He checked it. It recorded the origin of the Zhu Juan, the age of his cultivation, and the methods he was good at. His past achievements were also recorded. However, most of them were recorded before he achieved Dao. There were very few records of him after he achieved Dao, and most of them were descriptions of his actions.
Although there was a list of this person's divine abilities, dao techniques, and even his own mysteries, it was only a general description. Xuan Zun couldn't really record everything that involved his own secrets, and no cultivator would be willing to do so.
He was sure that the Zhu Juan must have some tricks up his sleeve. If he believed everything, he would be easily fooled.
However, this was enough.
In the past, when he fought with others, how could he know so much about them? Previously, Daoist Yue only provided information about Xu Chengtong's various methods.
After reading it, he could roughly judge that the Zhu Juan was not good at fighting head-on. He was good at hiding and fighting.
It would be difficult to capture such a person alive.
Fortunately, as a Shouzheng, he could still borrow magic tools from Xuanting.
If he were to have a one-on-one discussion with someone, it would be unfair to use magic tools. But this time, he was capturing a rebel in the name of justice. Naturally, there was no reason to talk about it. As long as he had the means, he could use it.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou, please show me the records of magic tools that Xuanting can lend."
Ming Zhou immediately complied. He stretched out his hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand out of thin air. Then, he respectfully handed it over to him.
After Zhang Yu received it, he slowly unfolded the chart and looked at the magic tools listed here.
He pondered for a moment. Zhu Chi had avoided the Clear Sky Magnetic Force, and he had just returned from there, so he knew how powerful it was.
Normally, cultivators would not be able to survive in this place for long. However, this person did not bring any magic items with him when he escaped. He actually dared to hide in this place. It was impossible to say that he only relied on his supernatural powers and Dao techniques. It was very likely that he relied on his own mystical abilities.
It was also possible that a certain Xuan Zun who opened a Taoist temple in the chaotic land accepted him and gave him a place to stay from time to time.
Apart from these two possibilities, there was actually another possibility. If that was the case, there would be another variable in capturing this person.
First, he had to find this person here. Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture him. There needed to be a tracking magic tool here. Therefore, he shifted his gaze to a magic tool called the "Grass Core Lamp".
As long as there was an item left behind by the person the master was looking for, it could point out the direction and find the person's location.
However, it was hard to say how useful it would be in the chaotic land. If the Zhu Juan knew about this magic tool, he would definitely set it up, but it was better than nothing.
He reached out and waved his hand. The chart representing the magic tool on the chart suddenly lit up.
As the Shouzheng, he could borrow two magic tools. For the second one, he chose the "Dragon Binding Chain". This thing was specially used to bind powerful people. The Zhu Juan's escape technique was brilliant. If he wanted to capture him alive, it would be much more convenient with the help of this magic tool.
After he was done with his selection, he returned the Magic Tool Catalog to Ming Zhou and said, "Give me those two magic tools. “
Ming Zhou bowed and took the chart. Then, he waved his hand downwards. Above the ground, a stream of clear air rolled and floated in front of the two of them. Two golden lotuses rose from the ground. Soon after, the flowers bloomed. Each of the lotuses held a magic tool.
Zhang Yu looked at them. These two items were the same as the ones in the chart. Then, with a flash of his mind, a soft and clear light was released, enveloping the two magic tools.
After just a few breaths, the two magic tools were refined. With a change of mind, the two magic tools flew up together, turned into a stream of light, and fell into his astral bag.
However, he also knew that this time, he knew the details of his opponent. That was why he could make sufficient preparations.
However, most battles broke out under unprepared circumstances. In particular, Shouzheng might have to face the invaders from Shangchen and You City. Without knowing the identity and origin of the other party in advance, how could he be prepared? In the end, he had to rely on his own ability to deal with it. Therefore, these magic tools could be used, but he couldn't rely too much on them.
At this time, Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Zhang Shouzheng, other than borrowing magic tools from Xuanting, Shouzheng can also take all kinds of secret medicinal pills. Does Shouzheng need them?"
Zhang Yu denied, "I don't need them."
He knew that things like medicinal pills could temporarily improve his cultivation. However, after he obtained the Three Elements, he could freely control his body. His foundation could be said to be perfect. Even if he took medicinal pills, there was no possibility of improving his cultivation.
Moreover, once the medicinal pills entered his body, they would cause disharmony. This wasn't a help, but a hindrance.
Although there were some medicinal pills that could be used in battle, these things weren't of much help to him in a battle at this level.
With a thought, Xuan Zun could release a vast amount of power. Medicinal pills were consumable items. They could only be used to fight for a moment. At most, they could splash one or two high waves in the surging river. They didn't have much use.
At this time, he untied the star pouch hanging from Xuanting's imperial edict. It contained Shouzheng's crown, robe, seal, and other things. There was also a ball of bright light with lightning flashing on it. As soon as his consciousness entered it, he knew that this thing was called "Clear Spirit Divine Thunder." It could cleanse the foul air and intimidate evil spirits.
This thing had always been carried by Shouzheng. Whether it was used in battle or to cleanse the foul air after a battle, it was suitable.
He put away the item and said, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou, please take one of the things left behind by that Zhu Guan. I want to find his tracks."
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Zhang Shouzheng, please wait a moment." After he finished speaking, they waited for a while. A scroll of documents and a brush container slowly appeared in front of the two of them.
He said, "Zhang Shouzheng, before Zhu Guan left, he destroyed all the things he used. However, in the past, he had a lot of correspondence with Xuanting. His handwriting was left there. Xuanting has a rule that Xuan Zun who doesn't hold any position must leave behind something that can be refined with his own breath. If he goes out and disappears, we can find his tracks at any time. This person's breath is in the brush container."
Zhang Yu nodded. With these two items, it would be much easier to find this person. He first took out the "Spirit Grass Core Lamp." Then, he took out the wisp of breath from the brush container and threw it into the magic tool.
As soon as this wisp of breath fell, a bean-sized seedling lit up on the lamp. However, it looked somewhat weak and powerless at the moment. This was because he hadn't used the light of his heart to activate it.
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Is Zhang Shouzheng preparing to go and capture this person right now?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The longer this matter drags on, the more variables there will be. Naturally, it's better to capture this person as soon as possible. As for the other matters, we can discuss them after I return. "
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Yes."
Zhang Yu stood there and regulated his breathing for a while. He couldn't help but discover that this upper layer was more suitable for cultivation than the inner layer. After only ten breaths, the mental energy he exhausted in the chaotic land was replenished.
At this time, Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Zhang Shouzheng doesn't seem to have opened his Immortal's Cave. However, all Shouzheng have a Shouzheng Star Palace as their base. When you return, you can stop here."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand."
He looked up. The atmosphere in front of him seemed to have melted away. The chaotic land was already revealed in front of him.
He had already been there before and had successfully returned. Hence, he didn't need to summon Ming Zhou anymore. He could go there himself.
Ming Zhou bowed and said, "I wish Shouzheng a smooth journey. Protect Tianxia and maintain order."
Zhang Yu nodded at him. His figure floated in the air. His Daoist robe fluttered continuously. Then, a clear light flashed on his body. His entire person was instantly immersed in it.
At the same time, in one of the jade pavilions below the clear sky, Daoist Yu Hang also received the Xuanting imperial edict appointing him as the Protector of Yujing.
He received the imperial edict and bowed to Daoist Chong who came with the imperial edict. He said, "Thank you, Daoist friend."
Daoist Chong said indifferently, "There's no need to thank me. With your contributions in the past, you're more than qualified for this position. However, Yujing is the capital of Tianxia. Guarding this place is very important. There are many eyes watching, so you mustn't be careless. Whether or not you can do it well depends on yourself. "
Daoist Yu Hang thought for a moment and said, "According to what I know, when Yujing was at its peak, there were five Xuan Zun overseeing it. Now, there are only three left?"
Daoist Chong said, "Back then, there were a total of five cracks that couldn't be completely closed. The forces from the outer layer invaded the inner layer through these cracks. The battle was intense, and many Xuan Zun died in battle. Now that the Turbid Tide has calmed down, there are only three cracks left. Once you go over, you'll have to oversee one of them.
However, Long Huai broke the entrance of the two worlds, causing the Turbid Tide to rise again. It's very likely that it will attract more enemies. Daoist Yu Hang, you have to be extra careful. "
Daoist Yu Hang responded seriously. He thought for a moment and said, "Daoist Chong, I wonder how that Xuan Zun is doing?"
Daoist Chong said, "This person has already been given the position of 'Shouzheng' by the Xuanting."
Daoist Yu Hang frowned and said, "Shouzheng?"
Daoist Chong said, "Daoist Yu Hang, Shouzheng is far away from the central government. He won't hinder us. You don't have to pay too much attention to him. Now, what we have to deal with first is the group of disloyal cultivators and the remaining rebels who aren't willing to respect Tianxia's order. After dealing with these people, it's the Xuanxiu's turn to deal with them. "
