Within the sea of clouds, the court enforcers could see that in Tianxia's territory, from the outer mansions to the inner continents, from the vast void to the mountains and seas, every place with a Xuan pillar was emitting rays of light.
These rays of light were like inextinguishable torches that lit up the land of humanity.
When Chong Tingzhi saw this scene, he made some calculations and immediately knew what was happening. His heart could not help but sink.
This should be Zhang Shouzheng's method. Apart from him, no one else had such ability in the Xuan method.
All the court enforcers present also figured out who the mastermind behind this was.
The court enforcers looked at Daoist Zhong and the other two at the same time. Their gazes were filled with different meanings. These people had spent a lot of effort to support the creation of beings and suppress the Xuan method, but now that the situation had changed, the Xuan method could not be abandoned. Even they would not agree to this.
This was because they knew that these Xuanxiu who had the ability to communicate would definitely bring about a huge change to the world in the future. Moreover, it would be a beneficial change. As the court enforcers of Tianxia, they would naturally not refuse such a thing.
At this moment, Feng and Gao were extremely shocked in their hearts. No matter what their current identities were, they had cultivated the Xuan Technique all the way up. It could be said that no one present could understand the impact of this change better than them.
The prosperity of the Xuan method depended on communication. The more Xuanxiu joined, the greater the impact on the Xuan method.
Now that the Xuan method had obtained this assistance, it would definitely undergo an even more shocking change. Even with their abilities, it was difficult to imagine how powerful the Xuan method would be under this influence. Perhaps the structure of the universe would be impacted to a certain extent in the future. It was no wonder that the fate of the world had changed.
At this moment, the court enforcers present were also thinking about the changes here.
At this moment, the light around them suddenly dimmed. Then, five indescribable rays of light shone on the sea of clouds.
The rays of light were boundless, as if another world had merged with this world. Then, five illusory figures appeared in the light. Their figures were bright and vast, unfathomable and difficult to describe.
Seeing this, the Daoist at the head seat felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly turned around and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Deacon."
The 12 Court Enforcers behind him stood up from their seats and bowed to the 5 of them before they said, "Greetings, Enforcers."
The appearance of five deacons at the same time was something that had never happened in the past few hundred years.
One of the retainers was the first to speak. His grand voice seemed to come from the Ninth Heaven, "Zhang Shouzheng opened up the path of the Profound Way, allowing the Xuanxiu of the world to progress. He shall be bestowed with two thousand kilograms of Profound Food!"
Another administrator said: "Zhang Shouzheng established the Xuan Dao Chapter, the Heaven and Earth were able to communicate with each other, the various realms began to see harmony, this is the greatest merit, he should be bestowed with four thousand catties of Xuan grain."
When the Court Enforcers heard this, they were all shocked. This was six thousand catties of Xuan grain. This was resources that they could not exchange for even with hundreds of years of cultivation.
But it was not over yet. Another administrator said, "Zhang Shouzheng's heart is righteous, we shall bestow upon him the position of Permanent Shouzheng. If he does not give up, he will not leave. We shall allow him to not carry his weapons and not record his successes."
When the Court Enforcers heard this, their hearts could not help but ripple.
With this decree, it meant that from this moment onwards, Zhang Yu's position as Shouzheng would be permanent. In the future, as long as he was not willing to give up his position, the Xuanting would not be able to dismiss him.
But the key was in the last two sentences. That meant that even if Zhang Yu was no longer Shouzheng, he would not need to record his weapons and would not need to report his accomplishments to the Xuanting.
At this moment, Daoist Zhong's expression was incomparably gloomy. Because the Xuanting would not allow Zhang Yu to continue being the Shouzheng. As time passed, he would definitely arrange for him to take on other positions.
But if Zhang Yu was not willing to give up his position, the Xuanting would not be able to replace him. Wouldn't that mean that he could be the Shouzheng and take on other positions? Wasn't this a little too much?
At this moment, he was not the only one who thought of this. The other Court Enforcers also had the same thought. Feeling that something was wrong, someone was about to speak up.
As if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, another administrator said in a gentle voice, "Zhang Shouzheng's achievements this time have far-reaching implications. They are of great benefit to our Tianxia. It is not excessive to bestow him ten thousand catties. This is only a compromise. He has already suffered a loss. There is no need for the Court Enforcers to be unhappy about this."
Hearing this, the Court Enforcers did not speak. If this was compared, it was not excessive.
The last administrator said in a deep voice, "We have already disturbed the order by appearing for a long time. Everyone, it is time to leave."
The other Enforcers nodded in unison. Then, the five indistinct figures dispersed. The boundless and vast radiance also retreated, leaving behind only the surging sea of clouds.
The Court Enforcers all bowed and sent them off.
Daoist Zhong's expression was not very good. At this moment, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for his proposal to be passed by the Xuanting.
The Enforcers were not allowed to interfere with the decisions of the Xuanting. However, these people did not openly oppose him. Instead, they appeared to bestow these rewards. This was enough to show how important the Xuan Method was. It was impossible for such a Xuan Method to be replaced by creation.
This time, his side had been completely defeated. Moreover, they had been utterly defeated. They did not even have the slightest ability to retaliate.
In reality, what made him depressed was that even if he knew beforehand what Zhang Yu wanted to do, he did not have any good methods to stop him.
This was because this was something that was clearly beneficial to Tianxia. They could not go against the flow. The Court Enforcers would not allow it, and the other Enforcers would not allow it as well.
Chong Tingzhi stood silently for a while. Then, he turned around and bowed to Daoist Zhong and Daoist Zhangsun. He said, "Previously, I obstructed someone from attaining the Dao. In a while, I will receive my punishment. Apart from the punishment, I expect that I will have to close my eyes for a few years. I can only leave the matters of the court to the two of you."
Daoist Zhong also bowed and sighed, "I privately borrowed treasures from you. In a while, I will also receive my punishment. As for the matters of the court, I will naturally do my best."
Although Feng and Gao were feeling extremely complicated at this moment, when they saw Daoist Zhong and the other two's miserable appearances, they felt extremely carefree in their hearts.
Chao Huan retracted his gaze and smiled, "Interesting, interesting." He turned his head and said to Daoist Zhong, "Zhong Tingzhi, I don't care if you succeed or fail. You can't forget what you promised me. Otherwise, I will not let you off."
Looking at his appearance, he did not mind at all that others knew that he had privately exchanged benefits with Zhong Tingzhi.
Daoist Zhong snorted.
At this moment, Daoist Feng also said leisurely, "That's right. Zhong Tingzhi, I wonder if what you promised me before still counts?"
Daoist Zhong's eyes turned sharp. He did not expect that even these two would hit him when he was down.
Daoist Feng looked at him without fear. Daoist Zhong nodded and said indifferently, "I will not go back on what I said."
Daoist Feng said, "That's good." He said, "Daoist Gao, let's go." Daoist Gao nodded and left the sea of clouds with him. They returned to the Daoist Palace.
On the way, Daoist Gao asked, "Daoist Gao, what you said just now, aren't you afraid of angering him?"
Daoist Feng said, "Whether I said it or not, the result will be the same. I am a marionette in the court. What difference does it make whether I am a court administrator or not?
Moreover, Zhang Shouzheng's method will not only benefit the Xuanxiu of the world, but also our disciples. Why should I be afraid of him? "
At this moment, he could not help but sigh in his heart. The righteous path did not fear demons and monsters. Because the righteous path represented the general trend of the people's hearts. No evil or evil could withstand a single blow.
Daoist Gao said, "Then about Zhang Shouzheng, should we …"
Daoist Feng said, "Let's talk about it when we return."
Daoist Gao nodded.
In the Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu stood in the middle of the big stage. The voices and words on the Great Dao Chapter increased and became more and more dense. Only with Xuan Zun's ability, it was not difficult to see them clearly.
However, he did not do so. Instead, he allowed them to flow outside of his mind without touching them at all.
Unless others communicated with him or were willing to show it to others, he would not take the initiative to look at these private matters of others.
Before using this method, he had sent a clone to the lower realm to ask Master Craftsman Wu about this.
Of course, this was not what Zhong Tingzhi expected. He wanted to combine the Xuan method and creation. Instead, he wanted to discuss with Master Craftsman Wu whether creation could achieve the task of communicating with the various continents. If it could, how long would it take?
Master Craftsman Wu believed that creation might be able to achieve this step in the future. However, at present, it could not do so because the influence of the Turbid Tide and the Outer Void Evil was too great. If it could not overcome this, it would not be able to pass this hurdle.
However, if things were not suitable for people, people could adapt to things. There was another radical way, and that was to change oneself. Just like the people of Shuangzhou, they transformed from the inside out. However, it was necessary to give up a lot of things. The people of Tianxia would no longer be the people of Tianxia.
After asking all these questions, he finally decided to take this step.
Previously, when the mysteries of heaven were disturbed and became obscure, he was also aware of it. He knew that someone wanted to stop him from promoting the later cultivators.
However, he did not intend to do so. He would not directly interfere with the cultivators' cultivation, nor would he forcefully promote anyone to change the situation. Everyone had their own fate. If he forcefully interfered, it might be beneficial to him, but it might not be beneficial to others.
Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Now that he had spread the Xuntian Dao Zhang to the world, Xuanxiu could communicate with his peers. For example, people like Liang Yi, Shi Yanxin, and Wan Ming could not only communicate with their peers and perfect their own Dao, they could also give guidance to their younger disciples.
He looked at the lower realm. At this moment, he had many thoughts in his mind. He wanted to use the Xuntian Dao Zhang to travel. However, the first thing he had to do, which was also the most important thing, was …
While he was thinking, he suddenly had a thought. He shook his sleeves and got down from the jade platform. He walked out from the inner hall. A deity on duty reported to him, "Shouzheng, Yu Su the Exalted Being is here."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and walked to the door of the main hall. He saw Daoist Yu Su standing there with an imperial edict in her hand. She said with a smile, "Daoist Zhang Shouzheng, this is the reward that the five deacons have given to you after knowing that you have become the Emperor. Zhang Shouzheng, keep it well. You can go back and read it slowly."
As she said, she passed the imperial edict to Zhang Yu and praised, "You have done well this time. Since I have many matters to attend to, I won't disturb you. I will talk to you another day." As she said this, she bowed to Zhang Yu and left.
