Inside the Miaohao Palace, Daoist Zhong saw another stack of jade plates on the table. He walked over and flipped through them, shaking his head.
Many of these documents were sent to him by the cultivators of the Iluo Continent.
The Iluo Continent was located among the other continents. When Guo Zhen was the Head of Xuan, he used Gu Xia's method of governance. As a result, many True Cultivators came here to cultivate. It could be seen as the most prosperous place among the thirteen continents.
Some of them were related to Mystique Venerables who were cultivating in seclusion, and some of them were even disciples of Mystique Venerables.
As soon as Daoist Gao arrived, he overturned the original structure and ordered the True Cultivators who used to be worshipped to go out and kill EsGod and spiritual beings. If they slacked off, they would immediately take away their titles.
This was practically the same method that Guo Zhen had used to deal with the various profound palaces in the past and used it on these true cultivators instead.
After removing the True Cultivators who did not do their jobs well, he summoned Xuanxiu and his own disciples to replace them.
At the same time, he summoned the officials of the two prefectures and announced Xuanting's decree. He ordered them to bring in the craftsmen and craftsmen from the Qingyang Continent and Yujing to improve the people's lives as soon as possible.
Just like how no one could question Guo Zhen's actions in the Iluo Continent, when the Head of Xuan Xuan Zun made up his mind to do something, no one could stop him. Even if all the cultivators of the continent rose up against him, it would be useless.
In just a few short months, the situation of the entire Upper Continent changed.
However, this was after all, the benefits of many True Cultivators were taken away. In the past, the True Cultivators of the Iluo Continent only needed to cultivate in peace. When they had nothing to do, they could discuss Dao and techniques. The matters below were naturally left to the two prefectures and Xuanxiu. Now, they were forced to fight outside and work in the continent.
However, after enjoying the benefits for sixty to seventy years, they were naturally unwilling to give up so easily. Therefore, they all submitted letters to the Xuanting.
Daoist Yuhang, Chong Tingzhi, and some Xuan Zun who were cultivating in seclusion received many of these letters.
However, the only one who could fight for their benefits was Daoist Zhong. In the end, they were all sent to him.
However, Daoist Zhong was helpless.
What could he do now?
It was Xuanting's decision to appoint Gao Mo as the Head of Iluo Continent. Unless the lives of hundreds of millions of people were at stake, no one could change it. At least, it would take at least ten to twenty years.
Moreover, Chong Tingzhi had been ordered. even if he had Daoist Zhangsun's help, he would not be able to change Xuanting's situation..
Unless there was someone else in the court who cooperated with him, there was still a chance for him to turn the tables.
At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but recall the empty seat of the court enforcer.
Apart from him, the other court enforcers had also tried to test him, but the chief enforcer didn't seem to have any intention of replacing him.
Although it was normal for the number of court enforcers to be increased by one or two, he felt that the chief enforcer's goal was not so simple.
Then who was this position reserved for?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and started to ponder in his heart. Did the chief enforcer know that he was trying to invite Zhengqing's faction back?
Although there was no evidence, he felt that it was very likely that this person knew.
Since the position of court administrator was vacant, did that mean …
Thinking up to this point, he thought to himself, "Maybe I can give it a try, but …"
His gaze fell on the jade disk on the table. If this matter was brought up by him directly, there would be no room for negotiation if he was rejected.
He could make use of this situation to get his fellow Daoists to write a petition to remove Zhengqing's faction's past crimes and allow them to return. Then, he would push it. Regardless of whether the chief enforcer meant it that way or not, this matter would definitely succeed.
In Shouzheng Palace, Xuan Zun stood in the main hall and said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Shouzheng created Xuntian Dao Zhang and colluded with Xuan and Hun cultivators to disturb the heaven and earth's fate. Even the five enforcers were alarmed. Zhang Shouzheng's actions undoubtedly contributed to Tianxia.
But as the saying goes, things overflow when they are full.
Since it caused the heaven to change, then it should be done in accordance with the heaven. Zhang Shouzheng should let go now. Zhang Shouzheng should not be tied to this and be involved in the operation of the heaven's design. If he is not careful, there will be a calamity.
And Zhang Shouzheng has been holding onto the Dao chapter for a long time. The court will definitely be wary of you and suspect you. This will become a man-made disaster. The heaven's calamity and the people's oppression are all caused by Zhang Shouzheng. Isn't this a predestined fate? "
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "It seems like Xuan Zun is here to teach the court the way of resolving the calamity."
Xuan Zun said, "That's right. If Zhang Shouzheng wants to protect himself, he should stay away from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He shouldn't care about it and shouldn't do anything unnecessary.
From now on, Zhang Shouzheng only needs to focus on fighting the enemy. He shouldn't ask about the court or even the mundane matters. Then the heaven's calamity will naturally stay away and the man-made calamity will not occur. "
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Xuan Zun, have you been cultivating in seclusion?"
Tang Xuanzun stroked his beard and smiled, then he said, "That's right. What we cultivators seek is to transcend. Although I can't obtain Xuan rations, at least I'm far away from worldly affairs. Only by doing so can I have a pure body and not suffer any calamities."
Zhang Yu said, "Xuan Zun, since you are far away from the troubles of the mundane world, why did you come to me this time? Isn't this messing up your cultivation?"
Xuan Zun said seriously, "As a senior cultivator, I can't bear to see a talent like Shouzheng suffer a calamity because he doesn't know what's good for him. Therefore, I came to persuade him. If I can persuade Shouzheng to change his mind and keep a talent for Tianxia, then I don't mind losing some cultivation."
Zhang Yu said nonchalantly, "I appreciate your kindness. However, as a Mystic Venerable One, since you don't wish to be tainted by the filth of the secular world, you should just stay in the cave abode. There's no need for you to come out and worry about other people."
Xuan Zun frowned, shook his head and sighed, "Since Shouzheng won't listen to my advice, then I won't persuade him anymore. I only hope that Shouzheng won't regret what he said today. Goodbye." He bowed, waved his horsetail whisk and turned to leave.
Zhang Yu didn't send him off. He stood in the hall and watched him leave.
He knew that in addition to the court officials, there were also some Xuan Zun who were cultivating in seclusion in the sea of clouds. These people said that they didn't care about the mundane world, but in fact, they didn't give up on the matters of the court.
These people didn't come because they couldn't bear to see him suffer a calamity. They just came because they saw Xuntian Dao Zhang's turbulent momentum, so they felt uneasy.
Especially recently, the head of the Yi Luo Upper Continent was replaced by Gao Mo. They really couldn't sit still.
Before this, "Xuan Fa" Xuan Zun was at most guarding the outer continents. He had never been in charge of the inner continents.
With Xuntian Dao Zhang there, it could be foreseen that in the future, there would be more Xuanxiu or Hun cultivators who achieved Dao. These people might slowly occupy the positions that originally belonged to the True Cultivators.
Xuan Zun said that people were forcing him to do so. What he meant was that if he continued to perfect Xuntian Dao Zhang and provide the Xuan and Hun cultivators with a path to progress, then there would be people who would suppress him. Some powerful people who were cultivating in seclusion might even be lured out.
Perhaps because of this, when he wanted to create a spell, the Heavenly Design stopped him.
This was also because his Dao had reached a certain level. He could sense that if he took this step, there would be a force that would threaten him.
This threat could come from within the Xuanting. It could also come from outside the Xuanting.
However, he didn't plan to stop.
Once the Dao Zhang was established, it didn't mean that he wouldn't move. He would be fine if he compromised. Just like Dao, if he didn't move forward, he would fall behind.
If he didn't do it today, it would be difficult for him to do it tomorrow.
If he didn't do it, then there would be many people who would lose the path to progress. Perhaps those who originally had the potential to succeed would miss out on their Dharma fate.
And these people might be his future helpers, his future companions!
Even if he didn't say all these, there was no reason for him to retreat purely for the sake of his own Dao.
When this thought appeared, it was as if a door had been opened. A spiritual light appeared in his mind. In an instant, it illuminated his entire body. His aura surged up vigorously.
There seemed to be a river of stars in his eyes. As he looked down, he saw a seal appearing on the Great Dao Zhang. He didn't hesitate to insert his Divine Vitality into it.
In an instant, spiritual light blossomed from the seal. When the light faded, the words "Jian Cheng" appeared on the seal.
This chapter contained many methods to defend oneself and resist the Great Primal Chaos. If cultivators cultivated according to this method, they would be able to cultivate the first four chapters without any problems even if they entered the Great Primal Chaos as soon as they came up.
However, only after a cultivator cultivated to the fourth chapter would they be able to see the true mystery of this seal.
If a cultivator could cultivate this seal seriously in the first four chapters, then when trying to break through the realm, once there was the danger of falling into the Great Chaos, the seal would draw out the cultivator's mind to obstruct him, preventing him from falling into a daze.
However, this seal could only obstruct people once or twice. If the cultivator couldn't recognize himself and insisted on going. That was something that no one could save.
After looking at this seal for a moment, he waved his sleeve. This seal immediately fell into the Xuntian Dao Zhang.
When this seal fell, it didn't appear as majestic as when it fell on the Inner and Outer Continents. Instead, it appeared silently.
Even so, it was quickly noticed by some cultivators, especially some Monk Hunjang. After seeing this seal, they only took a glance and couldn't help but feel shocked. This was because there were many methods to resist the Great Chaos. Immediately, many Great Dao Zhang couldn't wait to exchange for it.
However, there were also some people who were rather doubtful because they hadn't seen this seal before. It looked like it was newly created by someone. They felt that they couldn't trust it, so some people called for some trustworthy cultivators to come and evaluate it.
Even Gan Bai was included in the list. The name 'Taoshi' could be considered quite famous now. Some cultivators who could not see the acupoint trick thought that he was really just casually criticizing people. However, there were also cultivators with enough cultivation base who could see that this person was really capable. Moreover, this person was able to criticize people regardless of whether they were in the Xuan chapter or Hun chapter. This was very rare.
Some people also wanted this person to take a look at this new seal to see if there was anything wrong with it. In fact, compared to this, they were more looking forward to how this person would criticize this seal.
