Zhang Yu sat in the middle of the hall and observed all the changes within the Xuntian Dao Zhang.
He didn't care at all about the criticism that Zhang Yinxing had just given him. As the Xuntian Dao Zhang, he wouldn't care about a few junior disciples.
However, he noticed that many Xuanxiu seemed to be tempted after seeing the seal, as if they wanted to switch to the Xuntian Dao Zhang.
His original intention for leaving this seal wasn't to encourage cultivators to switch to the Xuntian Dao Zhang. Instead, it was to emphasize how to be vigilant against the Chaos.
He knew that the human heart couldn't withstand the test, so he set a limit on the amount of effort that could be used.
If a Xuanxiu wanted to exchange for the seal, the amount of effort required would be dozens of times more than a Xuntian Dao Zhang. The more likely one was to succeed in the Xuanxiu Dao, the higher the price.
However, if one was determined to walk this path, he wouldn't stop them. After all, cultivation was one's own business and outsiders shouldn't interfere too much.
In fact, he didn't think highly of those who hesitated in front of the seal. If they were more decisive, they might have a chance of succeeding. However, if they hesitated, it meant that they didn't have confidence in their Dao path. No matter which path they chose, they wouldn't succeed.
Compared to the Xuanxiu, it was easier for the Monk Hunjang to exchange for the seal. After all, the Monk Hunjang was ostracized and it wasn't easy for him to obtain the seal. Furthermore, the seal was given to the Xuntian Dao Zhang to read. Rather than saying that it was to guide their cultivation method, it was more like a way to help them be vigilant against the Chaos.
Now, not only did the Xuntian Dao Zhang allow the Xuan and Hun Dao cultivators to communicate, it also allowed everyone's condition to be displayed clearly.
This was because the cultivator's will was imprinted on the seal. If someone turned into a monster of chaos, the seal would immediately darken, reminding the people close to it that this person had undergone some kind of irreversible change.
As for the cultivators who died in battle, their seal would also darken because of the disappearance of their aura, allowing others to know their condition at a glance. If they were on the battlefield, fellow cultivators and the Military Department would notice that something was wrong.
With the use of Xuntian Dao Zhang in the various continents of the inner and outer worlds, it had penetrated into every corner of Tianxia and became indispensable.
However, this also brought about a hidden danger. The status of Xuanxiu and Hun Xiu had been forcefully raised, but they did not have enough strength to defend this position.
Especially when only cultivators of the Xuan and Hun Sects were able to communicate together. This would increase the suspicions of some True Cultivators, such as Xuan Zun.
They were able to cultivate peacefully there because they knew that most of the people in charge of the Xuanting Sect were true cultivators who would protect their interests. However, things were different for the cultivators of the Xuan and Hun Sects.
They would be worried that Xuanxiu would no longer allow them to live in seclusion from the world. Perhaps they would no longer be allowed to stay in the upper levels, which would lead to certain conflicts.
Zhang Yu also understood this point, but this was unavoidable. Unless he did nothing and did not pursue his own Dao, he would eventually clash with some people.
Just as he was thinking, his mind moved slightly and he let go of his concealment. Daoist Feng's voice was heard, "Greetings, Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Greetings, Daoist Gao."
Daoist Feng's voice was Solemnly, he said, "Sorry to disturb you, but there is something I have to tell you."
Zhang Yu said, "Please speak, Daoist Feng."
Daoist Feng said, "Recently, I received some news from the court. After Daoist Gao became the Xuan Chief of the Yi Luo Upper Continent, you seemed to have attracted a lot of criticism because of your actions.
However, they also implicated the Heavenly Rebuke Dao Seal created by Fellow Daoist. There are quite a few True Cultivators who are cultivating in seclusion who are dissatisfied with this and have made a complaint to the higher-ups. This time, it is very likely that this matter will be discussed in the court. Fellow Daoist, you have to be careful. "
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for telling me, Daoist Feng."
Daoist Feng said, "You're too polite. I won't disturb you any further." After he finished speaking, he left.
Zhang Yu thought about it and understood Daoist Feng's intention. Firstly, it was to remind him. Secondly, he hoped that he could be prepared for this matter, or visit Daoist Yu Su to win some support.
Under the pressure of these True Cultivators, Daoist Feng and Daoist Feng were naturally on his side. However, after he thought about it, he did not deliberately do anything for this.
When Daoist Yu Su brought him to see the administrator that day, she told him very clearly that everything this person did was for the benefit of Tianxia.
If this person was willing to help, there was naturally no need for him to say anything. If not, it would be useless to say anything.
In fact, although those Xuan Zun who are cultivating in seclusion kept sending letters, Xuanting was a place where rules were emphasized. As long as he did not do anything that violated Tianxia's laws, they could not do anything to him.
In the past, when dealing with Shouzheng, he could still restrain him by removing his position. However, now that his position as Shouzheng was permanent, the Xuanting could not take it away. Therefore, he only needed to wait and see. When the time comes, he would deal with it as he saw fit.
In a few days, it was already the middle of the third month. Bells rang above the sea of clouds, and it was time for the court meeting again.
After waiting for the administrators to discuss some recent matters one by one, the Head Daoist took out a report and ordered the Daoist child behind him to deliver it to the administrators. He also said: "Recently, many Xuan Zun have sent letters saying that Yi Luo's Xuan Chief Gao Mo's actions are too radical, causing the cultivators in the continent to complain. There are even people who suggested replacing the Xuan Chief. What do the administrators think about this?"
Daoist Yu Su read the report and sneered, throwing it to the side without any trace of politeness.
He raised his head and said: "Recently, I've also heard a lot of voices. I've also asked. Gao Xuan Chief did not go overboard. He only asked them to defend against external enemies and eliminate spiritual creatures.
However, this person has been sitting and enjoying the fruits of others' labor for too long, taking it as a matter of course. He has instead forgotten his original responsibility. I think Gao Xuan Chief did not do a good enough job. This person actually has the leisure to complain. "
Chen Tingzhi put down the report and said solemnly: "Head Administrator, how can Xuanting's decision be allowed to be questioned by people of the same generation? Daoist Yu Su is right. If they still have the energy to complain, it means that Gao Xuan Chief is still too lenient towards them. We can order Gao Xuan Chief to eliminate the voices in Su Continent as soon as possible to restore Xuanting's prestige. "
At this time, Chao Huan looked in Daoist Zhong's direction with interest, as if he was waiting for something.
Daoist Zhong was expressionless. When he saw Chao Huan looking over, he shifted his gaze away. He did not have the slightest intention of defending these cultivators.
Zhu Tingzhi said: "There's no need to eliminate them. We can just order Gao Xuan Chief Gao to make this person understand Xuanting's intentions."
Wu Qingxu agreed: "Zhu Tingzhi's words are feasible. Xuanting's prestige needs to be maintained, but there's no need to go overboard. After all, these people are also cultivators of Tianxia. Letting them deal with external enemies is far better than imprisoning them.
I think that not only should we order Gao Xuan Chief Gao, we should also move some people from Yi Luo Upper Continent to the border continent. This can also be considered as training for this person. If they are successful, we can still call them back. If they are not, then they can just stay there. "
These people spoke one after another. The court did not have any objections.
This was because the matter of Yi Luo Upper Continent was decided by Xuanting together. It was impossible to change the order overnight. Even if there were some problems with the court's decision, as long as it did not harm the majority, then they would definitely protect it together.
When the head Daoist saw this, he said: "Then this matter is decided." Then, he took out a report and said: "I have another report here. Why don't you all take a look at it?"
After saying this, he ordered the Daoist child to send the report along the long river of light and Qi.
Daoist Zhong took a look and could not help but narrow his eyes. The report stated that the punishment of Zhengqing's lineage was removed and that he was the one who pushed for it to return.
At this moment, he glanced up. Just now, when the court discussion began, he sharply noticed that Lin Tingzhi did not appear. This also meant that the head Daoist did not have the intention to refute anyone. He was completely prepared to follow the court's decision.
In addition, the absence of the head Daoist's position was undoubtedly a hidden signal to him.
When he thought about this, he picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime. Under everyone's gaze, he stood up and said: "Head Daoist, Daoist Daoist, I will say a few words about this matter. Zhengqing's lineage was stripped of their position because their words and actions went against the Xuanting. At the crucial moment, they did not care about the big picture. Originally, they should be punished severely. However, on account of their contributions to Tianxia, they should be detained and banished.
Now, this lineage has been banished for more than three hundred years. No matter how serious their crimes were back then, they can be pardoned now. "
Daoist Yu Su did not agree with this. When his voice fell, she immediately said coldly: "Could it be that Zhong Tingzhi does not know that even though Zhengqing's lineage has been banished, there are still old friends and disciples left. These people killed Xuanxiu everywhere in the Inner and Outer Continents. This is a terrible matter. If Zhengqing is lenient, how is Zhong Tingzhi going to explain to these fellow daoists who were robbed of their lives?"
Daoist Zhong nodded and said: "What Daoist Yu Su said is indeed true. However, speaking of this matter, Daoist Yu Su, I specially looked through the actions of the descendants of Zhengqing's lineage in the past three hundred years.
However, after careful investigation, I found that none of them were the true descendants of Zhengqing's lineage. They were just acting in the name of Zhengqing. "
Daoist Yu Su said coldly: "Could it be that Zhengqing's lineage made an evil example first?"
Daoist Zhong shook his head and said: "Even so, it was not done by Zhengqing's lineage. How can this matter be blamed on them?"
At this time, Chao Huan laughed and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, your words are wrong. Although they have left, Zhengqing's goal has been achieved. You can say that this matter was not instigated by them, but you can't say that this matter is completely unrelated to them."
Daoist Zhong knew that he could not answer him, so he did not respond. Instead, he looked around and said: "Everyone, because Zhengqing's lineage has been banished long ago, they are unable to clear their names. This is why this generation is becoming more and more unbridled."
Chao Huan said: "Eh, according to what you said, Zhengqing will deal with these juniors here. That's strange. Since he worked so hard, why do you think we banished them back then?"
Zhong Tingzhi still ignored him. He bowed towards the long river of light and said: "Head Daoist, this Zhong thinks that we can call a fellow Daoist from Zhengqing's lineage back and have him be in charge of investigating this matter.
If these matters can be investigated clearly, then he can be cleared of suspicion and his name can be cleared. My Tianxia will also have another talent that can be used. If not, then wouldn't he be charged with more crimes? "
