After Zhang Yu returned to the upper level, Daoist Ming Zhou was already waiting there. He bowed to him and said,
He cupped his fists and said, "Shouzheng greets you. Xuanting has already ascertained that several doors connecting to the lower levels have been opened. Shouzheng and the Xuan Zun need to close those cracks together and eliminate EsGod and the enemies that entered the inner layer. Shouzheng, you can head to the Miaohao Palace. Zhong Tingzhi is currently calculating and will know the specific locations of those places later. "
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand. Daoist Ming Zhou, please lead the way."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed slightly and called for the Flying Goddess to descend the carriage. Then, the two boarded the carriage and flew towards the Miaohao Palace.
The flying carriage flew in the sea of clouds for a moment and landed in front of a palace surrounded by auspicious clouds.
There was already a Daoist child waiting in front of the palace. He came up and cupped his fists towards Zhang Yu and said, "Are you Zhang Shouzheng? Please follow Xiao Tong. "
As he led Zhang Yu in, he said, "The Exalted One has received Xuanting's order and is currently unraveling the secrets of heaven. He can't come out to welcome Shouzheng for the time being. Shouzheng, please don't blame him."
Zhang Yu said, "It's a small matter."
The two walked through the water bridge, the cloud path, the golden pond, and the rainbow corridor. Then, they arrived at the main hall. They saw Daoist Zhong sitting in the hall with a dial in his hand. It looked like he was calculating something.
At this moment, he also sensed that someone had arrived. His mind withdrew from the artifact, shook his sleeves, and stood up to welcome them. He cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, you're here. I apologize for not being able to welcome you."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve to return the gesture. After he put it down, he said, "Zhong Tingzhi, Xuanting has sent an order for me to go and eliminate the invaders. I still need Zhong Tingzhi to point out the specific location."
Daoist Zhong nodded and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, please follow me."
He walked to the center of the hall and stood still. With a flick of his sleeve, the ritual revolved and the scene he saw earlier appeared in front of him.
He pointed and said, "In the early years, because there was a possibility of transmigration in the lower levels, a few of my fellow Daoists and I were ordered by Xuanting to refine this Xuanque Heavenly Apparatus to check for loopholes. However, nothing had ever happened before, so this thing has always been placed here. I didn't expect it to work this time."
"Originally, it was not possible to reach the inner layer from the lower level in an instant. It would take at least eight to nine days to reach it. However, Shangchen and You City have planned for so long this time. In order to ensure success, there might be a way to make up for this flaw. However, two to three days are still necessary.
If we can find this person in this period of time, we can capture or kill him. However, if we are too late, he might escape into the depths of the land. Then, it will be very difficult to find his traces. "
Zhang Yu glanced at the light screen and saw that it was gray outside the thirteen continents. He said, "We can only see the situation near the thirteen continents from here. We can't see those that fall further away."
Daoist Zhong said, "Although the more distant lands cannot be seen due to the influence of the Turbid Tide and are difficult to calculate, the Turbid Tide itself has already pointed out the direction for us.
We have long discovered that the Turbid Tide will weaken for a certain period of time in the lands where EsGods appear. This way, we can deduce their approximate location based on this. I was busy with this just now. "
Hearing him say this, Zhang Yu scanned his surroundings and found many signs of the Turbid Tide weakening. However, there were hundreds of them. Not all of them were EsGods that had been awakened. It could be that the Turbid Tide itself was weakening, or it could be EsGods that were already on the land. If they were to search one by one, it would take too much effort, and they might miss the real target.
He asked, "How long will it take?"
Daoist Zhong said, "Because Shangchen and You City are also using spells to confuse the heavenly secrets, I and a few other friends are trying our best to solve it. According to the current progress, it will take about two days. However, if you can calculate with me, we might be able to shorten the time by half a day. However, you are currently in seclusion …"
Zhang Yu said without hesitation, "The bigger picture is more important. I will immediately submit a letter and invite Xuanting to join in this matter."
Daoist Zhong said, "Alright, with Shouzheng speaking, this matter will be easy."
In the face of an enemy invasion, the authority and responsibility of the defender would be increased by a level. For example, borrowing a magic tool, or asking a person who was being held captive to help out, and the person who helped out could also use this as a pretext to make up for the person who helped out.
Zhang Yu did not care if Daoist Zhong's suggestion contained selfish motives. There was no need to care about this now. The key was to stop this matter.
However, he felt that what Daoist Zhong said was the truth. After all, he was not the only one who was good at calculating in Xuanting. Whether there was a lie or not, he would be able to find out after the investigation. Chong Tingzhi would only be punished for a few years, there was no need to leave a false impression on this matter.
Therefore, he immediately wrote a letter and summoned Ming Zhou to submit it. After only ten breaths, Xuanting replied, allowing Chong Tingzhi to help with the calculation.
After Daoist Zhong received the reply, he bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "I have to calculate with all my strength. I have no time to entertain you. I hope Zhang Shouzheng will not mind."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I will wait outside."
He walked out of the main hall and found a corner pavilion in the corridor outside to sit down. Immediately, a Daoist child served him a cup of tea.
He looked at the empty pavilion and said, "The Miaohao Palace looks deserted."
The Daoist child said, "Yes, the Supreme One used to have four disciples. When Tianxia crossed over to this world, three of them died in battle. The other senior apprentice-brother went missing after the Turbid Tide arrived.
Since then, the Supreme One did not take in another disciple. He only took in a few disciples. Now, most of them are cultivating in the lower bound. Other than the Supreme One, there are only a few senior apprentice-brothers here. It is inevitable that Shouzheng would look deserted. "
Zhang Yu did not ask any more questions. He only raised his sleeve to signal. The Daoist child bowed to him and left.
After sitting for a while, he said, "Daoist Ming Zhou."
Daoist Ming Zhou also appeared in the corner pavilion and said, "Shouzheng, do you have any orders?"
Zhang Yu said, "Previously, Hun Kong and the others used some kind of mystic instrument that made it difficult to close the passage between the two worlds. I suspect that they may have used it elsewhere. If so, I am afraid that even if we find the passage between the two worlds, it will be difficult to close it. Does Xuanting have any countermeasures?"
Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Shouzheng, don't worry. After Xuanting knew about this, he asked a few Xuan Zun to work together to refine the mystic instrument. Our Xuanting occupies the upper level. The treasures here are incomparable to those in Shangchen and You City. We only need one or two days to refine a suitable item to seal the passage."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "That will be good."
Daoist Zhong and the others calculated faster than he expected. After waiting for half a day, the Daoist child came over and said, "Shouzheng, the High Holiness invites you."
Zhang Yu stood up and returned to the main hall. At this time, he saw that on the light screen in front of him, there were several spots where the light vortices were rotating.
Daoist Zhong said, "Zhang Shouzheng, as you can see, Chong Ting Zhi, and a few other Daoist friends have calculated together. These are probably the places where this person most likely used to cross the passage. Zhang Shouzheng, why don't you choose a direction? As for the other suspected locations, Xuanting will send people to check them out. "
Zhang Yu took a look and saw three whirlpools of light in the west, and they weren't very far from each other. He flicked his finger, and the three whirlpools of light dimmed. He said, "I'll go that way."
Daoist Zhong bowed to him and said, "Then I wish Shouzheng a smooth journey."
Zhang Yu bowed again and turned to walk out of the main hall. At this time, he stretched out his hand and two spiritual lights fell into his sleeves. Then, he looked forward and a huge hole melted in front of him. He took a step forward and turned into a vast and mighty clear light, descending to the lower realm.
On the land of the inner realm, after Daoist Cen left Yue Upper Realm, he visited the other realms one by one before he set off to return to the north.
However, when the flying boat returned to the vicinity of Yikong Upper Realm, a clear light fell from the sky and blocked its way. The flying boat, which was originally flying at high speed, couldn't help but stop.
The light in front slowly dispersed and Daoist Zhong's incarnation walked out. He bowed to Daoist Cen and said, "Greetings, Daoist Brother Cen."
Daoist Cen slowly returned the greeting and said, "So it's Daoist Brother Zhong. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Daoist Zhong didn't say much and just pointed his finger. The light in front of him flickered and everything that happened in the inner and outer realms flashed quickly.
After Daoist Cen saw it, he said, "There's such a thing?" Then, he sneered and said, "Shangchen has been putting in a lot of effort to enter the inner realm these years. Oh, I heard there's also You City now, is that right?"
Daoist Zhong said, "I won't say anything unnecessary. Right now, Xuanting is searching for these awakened EsGods and sealing the passage between the two realms. If Daoist Brother Cen can make a contribution in this matter, it'll be more convenient for me to come down and speak for you."
Daoist Cen nodded and said, "That's true. However, I'm currently patrolling and this matter hasn't been completed yet. I'm afraid I can't leave, right?"
Daoist Zhong said, "Things have their priorities. I've already sent a letter to Xuanting. If nothing unexpected happens, a decree will arrive soon. Daoist Brother can leave first and this won't delay your work."
Daoist Cen said, "Daoist Brother Zhong's thoughts are thorough. Since this Cen is a cultivator of Tianxia, this matter is naturally my responsibility. This Cen won't allow those sneaky people to enter Tianxia."
Just as he was about to move the flying boat, Daoist Zhong asked, "How is the Zhengqing Daoist?"
Daoist Cen paused for a moment before turning his head to scrutinize him. Then, he said, "Senior Brother has been in seclusion ever since he left Tianxia. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Daoist Zhong laughed and said, "That's a pity. I don't know when I'll be able to see the Zhengqing Daoist's glory again. Daoist Cen, be careful."
Daoist Cen said indifferently, "It's just an EsGod. When I entered this world back then, I killed many with my own hands." After he finished speaking, he pressed the flying boat, and layers of spiritual power fell. The flying boat turned into a purple rainbow and flew into the distance under the push of this spiritual power.
Daoist Zhong looked at the flying boat disappearing into the horizon and pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and his body shook, turning into countless rays of clear light and dissipating.
