Half a month later, with Xuanting's announcement, all the continents inside and outside Tianxia knew that there was now a Xuan Zun above Xuanting.
This person was of Xuanxiu origin, but he did not rely entirely on the methods of his predecessors. Instead, he opened up a new path on his own.
And this path made up for all the flaws of the previous Xuan methods. Therefore, the flawed Xuan methods of the past had now been stripped of their names and were no longer recognized as proper methods.
When this announcement was made, it caused a huge wave in all of Tianxia. And just as Liang Yi expected, some of the Xuanxiu of the various continents offered Zhang Yu a position of honor.
This was also allowed by Tianxia. It was a favor bestowed to a person who opened up the Dao.
Just like that Daoist Feng. In the past, because the Xuanxiu of Tianxia regarded him as the first person to open up the Dao, he had to be worshipped. But now, his position of honor had been moved away and replaced with Zhang Yu's position of honor.
However, Daoist Feng's direct disciples were still allowed to be worshipped. This was also the reason why Liang Yi and the others placed Yu Chang's position of honor and Zhang Yu's position of honor together.
Western Vault of Heaven, Bi Residence.
In a certain station on a high platform, Xu Chengtong was carefully placing a memorial tablet on the platform. This jade tablet was made of high quality Psychic Purple Jade, and he had personally cast a spell on it. It was not stained by dust, and would not be stained by any filth.
After arranging it, he looked left and right. This time, he stepped down and bowed respectfully.
The disciples standing below also bowed. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts. Teacher, you're not Xuanxiu. Even if the Xuanting knew about Zhang Shouzheng's memorial tablet, it wouldn't be good for them to say anything, right?
Xu Chengtong seemed to know what they were thinking. After bowing, he turned around and said seriously, "I was personally appointed by Shouzheng. In order to make it easier for me to communicate with Shouzheng, I had no choice but to place myself here. You all should know my painstaking efforts."
All the disciples hurriedly chimed in and said yes.
Xu Chengtong came down from the stage. Naturally, a disciple would deliver the daily reports to him. After receiving the reports, he approved them and quickly dealt with the trivial matters.
Currently, he was in charge of monitoring the cracks in the Western Sky Dome Heavens. However, the outer layer was different from the inner layer. The military department was set up to resist the invasion of the outer layer, so they kept a close watch on the door between the inner and outer layer.
However, the void was vast, and there would definitely be many areas that could not be taken care of. This was where he needed to find and fill in the gaps.
Currently, he was constantly sending people to patrol the various Earth Stars. He had also set up restrictive formations at the corners of the Earth Stars to make it easier for him to patrol.
In particular, he knew that there was a Daoist Hu in the Kui Mansion, who was in charge of watching the entrances to the inner and outer layers. Moreover, Zhang Yu had previously recommended a few disciples to this person, so he paid him a visit.
In fact, there was such a person in every Star Mansion. It was just that their skills were not as high as Daoist Hu's, but he did not mind. He paid each of them a visit, and promised that if there were any discoveries, besides reporting them to the military department, please also report them to him. He would naturally give them benefits.
In this way, his subordinates would report small problems to the military department, or he might as well deal with them himself. If there were any big problems, he could immediately report them to Zhang Yu. As for himself, he only needed to be in charge of keeping a close watch on the affairs of the various Star Mansions. The matters of the Western Sky Dome Heavens' Seven Mansions were more or less under his control.
In the wilderness north of the Qingyang Upper Continent to the Yujing, there was an incomparably sturdy underground military base. Both above and below ground were all kinds of restrictive formations.
It turned out that the head of the Qingyang Upper Continent's Heavenly Secrets Headquarters, Fang Yuzhong, was imprisoned here.
The sturdy walls were all refined with transcendence energy. There were no gaps, and they were so smooth that mosquitoes and flies would find it difficult to get close to them. His daily diet was a little water and a life-sustaining pill. Every half summer, there would be a prison guard coming to check on him, ensuring that he could not escape.
At this moment, he was leaning against the wall, closing his eyes as he pondered over a difficult problem of creation.
Suddenly, there was a sound from above, and the heavy gates opened to both sides. A ray of light shone in, and then a person slowly descended on a jade disc, landing in front of him.
This was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He cupped his hands at Fang Yuzhong and said, "Greetings, Headmaster Fang."
Fang Yuzhong said calmly, "I'm no longer a headmaster. I'm just a criminal."
The middle-aged man said, "But Headmaster Fang's knowledge is still there."
Fang Yuzhong looked at him and said, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man said, "Headmaster Fang, there's no need to be on guard. I'm only here to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer them seriously. I'll discuss it with the higher-ups and do my best to reduce Headmaster Fang's sentence."
Fang Yuzhong was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know much, and I've already said what I need to say."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I won't ask about this." He lifted his robes and sat down cross-legged in front of Fang Yuzhong. He looked at the latter and said, "I want to ask Headmaster Fang, is it possible for creation to be compatible with the profound arts?"
Fang Yuzhong frowned and said, "If you're asking …"
"No, it's not about that." The middle-aged man waved his finger and said, "I want to ask, is it possible for pure creation to be compatible with the profound arts? And be used by cultivators? "
Fang Yuzhong pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, this is impossible. Nowadays, the foundation of creation is the Later Life Spiritual Mushroom. During the creation process, even if a cultivator is watching, it may cause instability, let alone being compatible with other mystical powers.
But after the creation, it can be said to be a complete living being. Although cultivators with profound magic power can also modify it, they might not be able to gain much from it. It's like burning a house to make a lamp, it's an arduous and thankless task. "
The middle-aged man nodded and asked again, "Then if great magic power is used to interfere, is it possible to avoid this flaw?"
Solemnly, Fang Yuzhong said, "If there's a powerful upper level Xuan Zun who can forcefully modify it, then it may be possible. After all, as far as I know, Xuan Zun already has the ability to change according to his will and create things out of nothing.
However, no matter how great magic power is, it's impossible to change the entire world. Therefore, I think it can only change a few things at most, and not everything. "
The middle-aged man stared at him and said, "Then, Headmaster Fang, what if Xuan Zun personally creates a Later Life Spiritual Mushroom?"
Fang Yuzhong was silent for a moment. He had actually thought of this question, but he did not want to bring it up. The other party had obviously come prepared, and it seemed like he had to answer.
He said slowly, "If that's the case, I can't predict it. After all, I don't understand Xuan Zun's abilities. However, in my opinion, this is not a good thing."
The middle-aged man said, "What do you mean?"
Fang Yuzhong said, "I think that the art of creation has endless prospects. If Xuan Zun were to make a move, then it would be a forceful interference of the Higher Realm. There's already a limit to it from the beginning. After reaching a bottleneck, there's no way to go any further. This would be a detriment to the art of creation."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded. "Thank you." He stood up. "I'm very satisfied with Headmaster Fang's answer. I will reduce your punishment. I think it won't be long before you can leave."
Five days later, in the Miaohao Palace of the Clear Sky Sea of Clouds.
Daoist Zhong stood in the main hall of the palace, and two figures appeared on the two jade walls in front of him. One was Daoist Zhangsun, the other was Chong Tingzhi.
Chong Tingzhi said, "Fellow Daoist, did you call me today to discuss the next court meeting?"
Daoist Zhong smiled. "It's related to this. However, in this court meeting, there's one person we must guard against."
Chong Tingzhi said, "Who is it?"
Daoist Zhong said slowly, "Fellow Daoists, who is the person most afraid of Xuan Zun's decline? Is it Feng and Gao? "He shook his head." No. "
Chong Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "The person Zhong Tingzhi is talking about, is it that Zhang Shouzheng?"
Daoist Zhong smiled and nodded. "Of course. You must know that this person has just opened the path of the Xuan Dao, and has also received the title of Xuanting. It's time for him to achieve great things, so why would he watch Xuan Zun decline?"
Daoist Zhangsun did not say anything, but Chong Tingzhi nodded.
Daoist Zhong said, "I heard that Zhang Shouzheng had rejected Feng and Gao's attempts to win him over for the sake of upholding the Xuan Dao. Is he really not worried? Or is he confident that Xuan Dao will not be lost? "
When he saw that the two of them were silent, he smiled and said, "As for his plan, this Zhong can also guess a thing or two. First, it's nothing more than using some kind of method to merge creation and Xuan Dao together. In this way, there will be no distinction between the two. Supporting creation is equivalent to supporting Xuan Dao, and Xuan Dao can continue to exist.
Secondly, and most likely, he will promote one or two Xuanxiu whose cultivation has reached perfection, and allow them to reach the upper realm in a short period of time! "
When he said this, Chong Tingzhi's expression became serious, and Daoist Zhangsun who had been silent all this while also raised his head and looked over.
Daoist Zhong looked at both of them and said, "Although we talk about abolishing Xuan Dao, how many Xuanxiu are there in the world? It is impossible to seize all of them in a short period of time, and we need to rely on creation to slowly suppress them.
Firstly, it is the competition for the hearts of the people, and secondly, it is the bias of the First Executor. If one or two Xuan Dao Xuan Zun were to succeed at this time, the hearts of the people will lean towards this, and Xuan Dao will continue to exist. The First Executor will not be in a hurry to make a decision, and will observe for a while. This way, it will be difficult for us to achieve our great wish. "
Chong Tingzhi said seriously, "Zhong Tingzhi's words are reasonable, but if Zhang Shouzheng really does this, we will not be able to stop him."
Daoist Zhong smiled and said, "Daoist brother, we do not need to stop him, and it is impossible to do so. We just need to delay this matter a little. As long as we can reach a decision to support creation in the next two court meetings, there will be no problem."
Chong Tingzhi thought for a while and said, "You are right."
Xuanting's court decision could not be changed casually, unless it involved something that would harm the interests of the whole of Tianxia. However, they only wanted to support creation, and this was not enough for Xuanting to overturn the previous decision.
Daoist Zhong pointed with his finger, and more than ten figures appeared in front of him. Among them, Liang Yi, Yu Ruiqing, Wan Ming, and the others were among them.
He stroked his beard and said, "These few days, I have been meditating and searching the world. I saw that these more than ten Xuanxiu are full of vigor, and they have the potential to see through the door. If Zhang Shouzheng wants to guide the younger generation, he will definitely choose from these people."
He looked at Chong Tingzhi and said, "Daoist Chong, please cast a spell to conceal the secrets of heaven. Before and after the next court meeting, do not let this generation not see through the method!"
