After Hunkong Laozu and Jin Zhixing were defeated this time, they never appeared again.
If Zhang Yu was really the only one present, they would have come forward to fight. After all, he was the Xuanting Shouzheng. If they could kill him, it would be very meaningful. Whether it was to improve their status, inspire people, or to attack Xuanting, it would be very useful.
But now that Zhang Yu had the support of Xuanting behind him, they should forget about it. If they continued to fight, the original surprise attack would become a frontal attack.
Their strength was not as good as Xuanting's, so it was very unwise to go up and fight.
Besides, if they were careless and died in the battle, no one would seek justice for them. In the end, it was more important to protect themselves. Otherwise, even if they occupied the inner layer, they would not be able to enjoy it.
This time, Dai Gonghan also sent his incarnation here. When he saw that the people from Shangchen and You City did not appear, he turned around and tried to close the gate between the two worlds. However, when his mind fell, he found that there was a strong resistance there that could not be closed at all.
Zhang Yu also noticed it. He said, "Dai Tingzhi, do you have any questions?"
Dai Gonghan said in a low voice, "This passage was broken open. It should have been done using some unique method."
This time, Lin Tingzhi also sent his incarnation here. He was a person who was good at refining weapons. After a few glances, he said with certainty, "This should be caused by some kind of magic weapon. Only when the weapon's power is exhausted can this place be closed. This thing is not easy to refine, especially the precious materials are difficult to obtain. Shangchen and You City have paid a great price this time."
Dai Gonghan said, "Then I'm afraid that this person will not let it go."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "No matter what this person does, I will guard here until this place is closed."
As long as he was here, no matter how many clones the other party sent, it would be useless.
However, although the other party's aura was strong this time, his attitude was not that resolute. This person had paid such a great price, so he would not let it go just like that. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he had other plans.
At the same time, in another part of the void, above a refined red planet, there were countless green lotus seeds floating in circles outside the planet like ribbons.
And at this time, two of the lotus seeds suddenly broke out of their shells, growing roots, branches, and leaves at an extremely fast speed. Then, two treasured lotuses with the fluorescent light of immortal dew bloomed.
There was a flash of light above the lotus platform, and the clones of Hunkong Laozu and Jin Zhixing appeared.
Jin Zhixing sighed and said, "Xuanting is well prepared. It seems that we won't be able to get there."
Hunkong Laozu said in a deep voice, "Since it doesn't work, then we'll take that path. Zhu Feng is just a bait."
Jin Zhixing couldn't help but nod.
It would be a good thing if Zhu Feng could succeed, but it didn't matter if it didn't. As long as they could restrain a certain amount of Xuanting's attraction and a part of his strength, it would be enough. Anyway, before the passage between the two worlds was closed, Xuanting would definitely not relax his attention.
The key was the other path, which was the focus of their attention. If they succeeded, not only would they bring great trouble to Tianxia, but they would also gain a substantial chance of victory in this long-lasting confrontation.
He turned his gaze to the green planet not far away and said, "It should start now, right?"
Above the sea of clouds, in the Miaohao Palace, Daoist Zhong held the Yin-Yang Shuttle and was deciphering the mysteries of heaven according to Xuanting's instructions.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed some kind of change in his heart. He stopped and took a few steps forward, reaching out his hand and pressing on a magical instrument that looked like a sky dial.
The surrounding instruments started to spin. After a while, a light screen was projected in front of him, displaying the thirteen upper continents of the inner layer and even the land outside of the continents.
At this moment, he saw that there were more than a dozen rays of divine light around the continent. Taking a closer look, there were at least three rays of light with a higher level of spirituality. In places where he couldn't see, there should be more. He couldn't help but frown. "Trouble is coming."
As if his words were true, streaks of red light appeared in those spiritual lights. Those were obviously the cracks between the two worlds. These were the EsGods summoning their believers and god's descendants. However, these cracks didn't connect the inner and outer layers like before. Instead, they connected directly to the lower layers.
Daoist Zhong muttered to himself, "It seems like Zhang Shouzheng was right."
He called out, and Ming Zhou appeared behind him and said, "Exalted Zhong, what are your orders?"
Daoist Zhong said in a low voice, "Inform the court that Zhang Shouzheng's prediction was right. This time, those sneaky people are preparing to enter the inner layer from the lower layers."
In the outer void, the lotus seeds that surrounded the green planet broke open one after another, and many lotus thrones grew out from them. One after another, the figures of Daoists showed up in this place.
Hunkong Laozu glanced at them and said, "Since all of you are here, then let's not delay any longer." He took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and threw it out. This item turned into a streak of spiritual light and flew into the green planet in front of them.
Everyone looked in that direction. The light mist on the surface of Earth Star stirred, and a scene appeared from within. They could vaguely see the outline of continents and red light flickering there.
What was shown was roughly the scene that Daoist Zhong saw. However, the difference was that the situation within the thirteen continents was abnormally blurry here. On the contrary, the scene outside the thirteen continents was clearer. However, it was also flickering, as if it could disappear at any time.
At this moment, it could be seen that there were several red lights flashing in places far away from the thirteen continents. Those represented the cracks that connected to the lower layers.
One of the Daoists lamented, "It seems like this matter can be done. We didn't waste our efforts for so many years."
The other Daoists present didn't say anything, but they undoubtedly agreed with this view.
In these hundreds of years, the ones who fought against Tianxia were mainly the Shangchen cultivators. In order to enter the inner layer, they had been constantly looking for ways to do so.
Because they couldn't find a chance to do so directly, some cultivators tried to take a roundabout route, such as trying to enter the inner layer from the lower layers.
Although there was indeed such a possibility after some calculations, even if the cracks in the lower layers appeared, most of the time, only the living beings in the lower layers could pass through and reach the inner layer. If it was a Xuan Zun, because its level was too high, it would definitely be obstructed, unless there was an EsGod or Daoist cultivator of the same level working together in the inner layer.
Afterward, they discovered that some of the EsGods in the inner layer could also sense the faith of the living beings in the lower layers. It was just a little weak, but no matter how weak it was, it still existed. This was undoubtedly a place that could be used.
In the past few eras, countless EsGods had been hibernating in the inner layer of the continent, and they might be of help.
Therefore, more than two hundred years ago, Shangchen began a very long-term plan. The cultivators worked together with the evil gods, monsters, and even EsGods in the void to constantly invade and occupy the lower layers. Then, they spread the faith of some of the sleeping EsGods in the inner layer and continuously offered blood sacrifices.
Although the living beings in the lower layers were of a lower level, they were still living beings with intelligence and could still be used in sacrifices. At most, they would offer more sacrifices. If ten were not enough, they would offer a hundred. If a hundred were not enough, they would offer a thousand. It was not impossible to offer more.
This was also because of the implementation of this plan that the lower layers that were originally under the control of the various families were constantly invaded and occupied.
Shangchen and these evil gods and monsters spread their faith while waging war. At the same time, they captured captives and carried out large-scale blood sacrifices. However, this was only the preliminary preparations to awaken EsGod.
In order to awaken the powerful EsGod from his slumber, they even captured some evil gods and sacrificed them.
They did not have to worry about angering the other evil gods because the evil gods did not see each other as the same kind. There were a few times when they captured the evil gods, but in fact, other evil gods had cooperated with them.
This plan looked complicated, but in reality, it only needed a few key points to succeed. This time, they really succeeded.
Hunkong Laozu said to Jin Zhixing, "We still have two Barrier Breaking Pearls left. We can use those cracks to open two passageways for our people to pass through. Kim Daoist, which friends of yours are prepared to go through with me?"
Jin Zhixing looked behind him. A daoist with a smile on his face walked out and bowed to Hunkong Laozu.
Jin Zhixing said, "This is Su Ao Su, Xuan Zun of You City. He will go with everyone."
Hunkong Laozu looked at him and said, "Is it just Daoist Su alone?"
Jin Zhixing said with a smile, "This time, it's mainly to let our fellow daoists gain a foothold in the inner layer. We must avoid Xuanting's eyes and ears. It's not good to have too many people."
Hunkong Laozu nodded. Jin Zhixing's words made sense. This time, it was not a large-scale invasion. It was just a possibility. The people who went through first had to lie low and avoid Xuanting's pursuit. Then, they would wait for the right time to lead more people there. More people was not necessarily a good thing.
He looked at Su Ao and said, "Daoist Su, you should get ready. Later, you will leave with the friends behind me."
In front of the Gate of Two Realms, Zhang Yu stood there with his sleeves behind his back. There were several Xuan Zun's incarnations with him. At this time, a clear light suddenly melted the void. When the light dispersed, Daoist Yu Su walked out with a scroll in her hand.
Zhang Yu looked at her and said, "Daoist Yu Su, did Xuanting give you an order?"
Daoist Yu Su walked over and handed the scroll to him. She said, "Xuanting ordered Daoist Zhang to return to Xuanting. There are other arrangements. This place will be guarded by my generation."
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. He said, "There are changes in the inner layer?"
Daoist Yu Su sneered, "Just as Daoist Zhang expected, this person is going to pass through from the lower layer to the inner layer. Fortunately, Xuanting is prepared for this. With your reminder, they are not caught off guard. Daoist Zhang will know the details when he goes back."
Zhang Yu nodded. He glanced at the scroll and put it away. Then, he raised his sleeve and bowed. After bidding farewell to Daoist Yu Su and the cultivators' incarnations, he turned into a magnificent clear light and returned to the upper layer.
