Deep in the outer layer of the void, there was a giant city that was emitting a gloomy aura, as if it was one with the void, floating there.
Outside, every wisp of gloomy aura that floated out had a floating city. There were hundreds and thousands of them, as if they were stars, surrounding the giant city.
Inside the giant city, it was another world. Here, there was a giant platform that floated above the sea of white fog. On the platform, there were eight Daoists that were wrapped in auspicious clouds. The surroundings were clear like water, bright and glossy. There were even rainbow-colored clouds that dyed the clouds, and ethereal celestial music that reverberated through the sea and sky.
This was the location of You City's main city. Although there was a word 'You' in its name, it only meant that it was hidden in the dark. Other than those whose minds were already twisted, no Daoist cultivator liked to hide in such a dark and gloomy place. Hence, this place presented a celestial atmosphere.
At this moment, Gan Bai's incarnation also landed here, but his little face looked unhappy.
He had been here for a few months, but most of the time, he was only discussing Daoism with You City. However, this person was a real Daoist cultivator. Even if he took the initiative to talk to him, what was there to talk about? No one here understood the Great Chaos better than him.
Because his main body forcefully occupied the Great Dao chapter, his incarnation could not be used. Hence, most of the time, he could only sit here and feel bored.
All the way until the beginning of the third month. On this day, a ray of light suddenly fell down. The light was so bright that it illuminated the Sea of Qi. On the highest platform, a young Daoist who was shrouded in dazzling golden light appeared.
As soon as this person appeared, all the Daoists stood up. Gan Bai stood up unwillingly and bowed with the other Daoists. He said, "Greetings to Exalted Xian Ding."
Daoist Xian Ding nodded as a greeting, then sat down. He lifted his sleeve and gestured for them to sit down. He said, "Fellow Daoists, please sit down."
Only then did the Daoists sit down.
Daoist Xian Ding sat there with his back illuminated by the golden and jade radiance. He said loudly, "I've troubled all of you to wait for a long time. Today, I've invited all of you here to discuss how You City should deal with the current situation."
On a big platform somewhere in the sea of qi, a Daoist said, "Exalted Xian Ding, may I ask where the change is?"
Daoist Xian Ding sat upright and did not speak.
Another Xuan Zun with golden eyebrows said, "Cai Xuan Zun, don't you know that Tianxia has been communicating with the Xuan and Hun cultivators with a Xuntian Dao Zhang? Once this Dao Zhang is out, all the worlds are connected and one voice speaks. You City is now unable to get close to the 28 constellations, and finding the inner door is doubly difficult."
For more than seventy years, You City and Shangchen had been searching for a door that could avoid Tianxia and enter the inner layer.
This was not impossible, because according to the prophecy of the heavens, after every Turbid Tide, the inner layer would experience an expansion. Although Tianxia occupied the central region of the inner layer, there were even wider regions outside.
As long as they could find a suitable door to enter, they would no longer have to hide in the void. Instead, they would have a foothold in the inner layer, and they might even be able to find the door to the upper layer.
However, with the appearance of Xuntian Dao Zhang, Tianxia's defensive power increased exponentially. In the foreseeable future, this power would continue to increase, which seemed to make it harder for them to achieve their goal.
However, the Xuan Zun whose surname was Cai said, "Exalted Xian Ding, although Xuntian Dao Zhang has appeared, Shangchen should be more anxious than us, right? Why don't we wait for Shangchen to find a way first, and then we'll try to learn from them.
If those people in Shangchen are sensible, I don't think they'll reject us. After all, they also need You City to contain Tianxia. "
As soon as he said this, the other Xuan Zun nodded their heads. Actually, it was as good as not saying anything. They were completely relying on others, which could be said to be passive and powerless. However, it was very suitable for their interests.
They usually occupied their own regions, and the cultivators and disciples under them were all cultivated and recruited by themselves. If they made any changes, You City would definitely use this as an excuse to make them pay, which was undoubtedly something they did not want to see.
In short, they were willing to accept benefits, but it would be extremely difficult for them to give out benefits.
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Xuan Zun's words are somewhat reasonable. However, You City can't completely rely on others. We should have our own support. Regarding this matter, there's already a predestined law. Kim Daoist, why don't you say it?"
Everyone looked over. Unknowingly, there was a Daoist wrapped in dark fog on a high platform in the distance. However, no one present noticed when this person arrived.
Gan Bai originally felt very bored, but at this moment, he was surprised and couldn't help but show interest.
This was because he noticed that this person was Monk Hunjang, just like him. Ever since he came to You City, he had never heard of such a person's existence.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of something. There had always been a rumor that one of the Six Seals of the Great Dao, the Eye Seal, had landed in You City.
It was said that with the Eye Seal, You City could see a person's future and use it to choose the most talented person. It could also see the flaws of a cultivator during battle. When the time was right, it could even find an entrance to enter the inner layer without being in Tianxia.
However, other than the Xuan and Hun cultivators who held the Great Dao Chapter, who else could hold the Eye Seal? The appearance of this person made him wonder if the seal was on this person.
However, this was only his suspicion. This was because no one knew if there were other Xuanxiu or Monk Hunjang in You City. Moreover, until now, he still didn't know what method Xian Ding cultivated. He only knew that this person was the one who led the various Daos to escape from Tianxia.
At this moment, Jin Daoist said, "Kim Jong Un recently obtained something that might be able to change the situation in You City. Fellow Daoists, please take a look."
As he spoke, he spread out his hand. A ray of light flew out from his palm and went to each of the high platforms.
Gan Bai reached out and took it. It was a message talisman. With a thought, the talisman turned into light and disappeared. The information contained within appeared in his mind. "The creation technique of the people of Shuang Continent?"
Daoist Jin said, "A few days ago, one of my disciples caught a cultivator who came from the inner layer. This kind of thing is rare, but it's not like it's never happened before. Originally, it wasn't a big deal.
But the first thing this person wanted to do was to destroy something on his body. After my disciple reported it, I restored it, and found the Shuang Continent's Creation Communication Technique in it.
If this technique is used well, although it can't be used to connect the heavens like Tianxia's Xuntian Dao Zhang, it is enough to be used to find the entrance to the inner layer in You City. "
After Cai Xuan Zun read it, he said, "Jin Xuan Zun, from what I read, this creation technique can only be used by the people of Shuang Continent? Where are we going to find Shuang Continent? "
Xuan Zun said, "Kim Jong Un has already investigated. The Shuang Continent originally belonged to Tianxia. However, they were infected with some Nightmare Parasites, which caused them to transform. We only need to take a group of people and transform them. Moreover, the people of Shuang Continent only have bloodlines and can't cultivate techniques. This is more beneficial to us."
At this moment, Xuan Zun asked, "Kim Daoist, where is the cultivator from the inner layer now?"
Xuan Zun said, "He is still with my disciple. However, this person's memories have been sealed. It should be the work of a certain Xuan Zun. We can't peek at him, so we can only temporarily detain him."
Xian Ding said, "I intend to adopt Kim Daoist's method. First, we will create a group of Shuang Continent. If it is useful, we will spread it to the other cities. What do you all think?"
When the people present heard this, they understood that they were required to provide people and materials. However, if this method was successful, it could indeed increase their own strength. The changes in Tianxia were obvious to all.
At this moment, several Xuan Zun spoke up, expressing their willingness to accept this item. However, the rest of the people did not speak. Obviously, they were prepared to take a look first before making a decision.
Gan Bai curled his lips and also did not speak.
He had been a guard outside, so he knew very well that since this item was created, it was definitely not something that could be done easily. It looked like a skill, but there might be more skills involved behind it. The manpower and material resources needed to create it were definitely not small. He was not willing to worry about this.
If there was Xuntian Dao Zhang, why would he need to create something?
Qingqiong Cloud Sea, Inner Hall of Shouzheng Palace.
Zhang Yu was meditating. It had been more than a month since he came back from the day he opened the Taoist field. Other than his daily cultivation, he had been deducing the method here.
In fact, there were many writings about the Great Chaos in Xuanting, but they were not as profound and detailed as Huo Heng, who specialized in the Dao of Chaos. However, they could still provide him with some confirmation and inspiration. Therefore, after he came back, he flipped through many of them.
As he read in silence, he gradually had some thoughts in his mind. However, when he was about to comprehend them, he suddenly sensed something. He could not help but stop and look outside.
The Deity Duty Officer said from outside the hall, "Shouzheng, Xuan Zun Tang is here to visit."
Zhang Yu thought about it. He had never heard of this person before. If he was not mistaken, this person was most likely a Xuan Zun who was cultivating in the upper levels.
Not all the Xuan Zun in the upper levels would come out to take up the position of Xuanting. Some Xuan Zun still adhered to the way of seclusion in the past. They rarely came out to ask about the outside world, but sometimes they would go around to ask questions.
However, he thought about the situation just now. It seemed like a heavenly secret had come to stop him. The purpose of this person's visit was probably not so simple.
His eyes moved slightly. He got up and walked out. When he reached the main hall, he asked the Deity Duty Officer to invite the person in.
After waiting for a while, he saw a Taoist priest Si Xun enter the main hall. This person was dressed in a black robe with wide sleeves. He held a horsetail whisk in his arms. His clear beard was neat, and there was an ebony hairpin in his bun. He had a quaint and elegant style. He bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, I am Tang Shen. Greetings."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed. He said, "Xuan Zun Tang, why have you come to my Shouzheng Palace?"
Xuan Zun looked at him for a while, but he sighed and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, do you know that what you have done recently has already hindered the heavens? If you do not find a way to reduce it, disaster will come to you."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "Oh? Then I would like to ask. "
