Over the past few days, Zhang Yu had been accumulating sword force on the Heaven Shocking Sword other than his usual daily cultivation.
As he continued, the dazzling brilliance of the sword gradually became faintly discernible. Looking at it now, the entire sword was like a faint shadow. This was not some kind of concealment, but rather, it had been drawn away from the various senses and faded away.
At this very moment, if he was not the owner of this sword and clearly knew that there was such a sword beside him, it would be easy for him to inadvertently overlook this sword.
This appearance was exactly what he hoped for.
If the power of Absolute Slash could be unleashed to the extreme, very few people in the same level could resist it.
This was because the strength of this technique was in strength and speed. Once its power reached the peak, even if the opponent sensed it in advance, they would not be able to dodge the lightning-fast sword light in time. Another reason was that when the strength reached the extreme, there was nothing it could not break, and all kinds of spells could not block it.
The technique of accumulating power was equivalent to being prepared to attack at all times. When the time came, the power that could be unleashed was naturally not something that a casual slash could compare to.
However, this kind of accumulation was not something that could be accumulated endlessly. It still depended on his own ability to bear it. Even if one looked at the boundless ocean, there would still be a limit. It was just that he was still far from being able to accumulate enough energy. If things continued like this, it would take about twenty to thirty days for him to reach his limit.
This was mainly to make it convenient for the sword to gradually adapt to the burden. After completing it once, it would not take such a long time.
He was also looking forward to this. He did not know what kind of power this attack would unleash in a battle.
As he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed something in his heart. He immediately stopped cultivating and called out the Da Dao Chapter to receive the external consciousness.
This time, it was Daoist Feng who was looking for him. This person gave a brief account of what happened in the court meeting just now. In the end, he said, "Fellow Daoist, I have recommended you to the court just now. I hope you don't take offense."
Zhang Yu didn't care about this. Moreover, Daoist Feng had already informed him about this before. He said, "That's fine. Daoist Feng is a court administrator and has the right to recommend. The Emperor has no objections."
Taoist Feng said, "It's good that you don't take offense. Just as I said last time, my Xuanxiu may seem powerful now, but it doesn't have much weight in the court. If you can grasp this opportunity and enter the court in the future, you can become the pillar of my Xuanfa lineage."
Zhang Yu said, "I understand what Fellow Daoist means. In the future, if Xuan Dao is to be promoted, there must be someone at the top of the court."
When Daoist Feng heard him say this, he immediately knew that he had the same intention. He couldn't help but feel excited and said, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb your cultivation." Then the seal on the Xuntian Dao Zhang that represented him dimmed and retreated.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu was thinking about what Taoist Feng had said about the matter in the court. After a while, he sensed something in his heart. He shook his sleeves and walked out of the inner hall all the way to the outer room.
After waiting for a while, he saw a hole melt in front of the hall. Daoist Yu Su walked out from inside. When the latter saw him waiting outside, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
After Zhang Yu bowed, he invited Daoist Yu Su into the main hall. After Daoist Yu Su sat down, she said, "Just now, the Imperial Court has already decided on the matter of the Four Continents ascending to the Four Continents. After the Chief Enforcer, he asked me to recommend a candidate for the Guardian. I have already recommended Fellow Daoist Zhang as the Guardian Xuan Chief.
Zhang Yu knew that Yu Su never cared about one's position when doing things. She only looked at whether it was beneficial to Tianxia. There must be some consideration here. He said, "Fellow Daoist Yu Su must have her reasons for doing so."
Daoist Yu Su said, "It does make sense. Let's not talk about the Western, Southern, and Northern Protectorates. It's normal for anyone to guard them. However, if the Dongting Protectorate is to be transformed into a prefecture, I hope that Fellow Daoist will go and guard it. "
Zhang Yu's heart moved slightly. He asked, "But what's so special about the Dongting Protectorate?"
Daoist Yu Su nodded and said, "When the news of the discovery of the Dongting Continent was spread back to the mainland, Xuanting made a series of calculations and determined that this continent should be explored. Moreover, there is a secret involved there.
Now, in the court, people like Zhong Weiwu who participated in the calculations also know about this matter. I expect that they will plan for this. However, it's hard to know how much of this person's thoughts are for the public and how much of it is for private interests. Compared to this person's thoughts, I trust Fellow Daoist Zhang more. Therefore, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist to guard this place. As for the reason behind this secret, it's not convenient for me to explain it to Fellow Daoist right now. In the future, Fellow Daoist will understand. "
Zhang Yu nodded. At this moment, his thoughts turned. He suddenly remembered that when his teacher was traveling around the Dongting Continent, he seemed to be investigating something. Later on, his teacher's whereabouts were unknown. Could this be related to what Daoist Yu Su said?
He pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that when we were at the top, Fellow Daoist once told me that if I want to progress, I must obtain the position of Court Administrator. If I want to obtain the position of Court Administrator, I must guard this place. Since there's an opportunity now, I will accept this matter."
Daoist Yu Su's expression turned serious and said, "Alright, then this matter is settled. In the next court meeting, I will fully support Fellow Daoist to become the Dongting Prefecture's Governor. "
Time flew by and another month passed. The court meeting above the sea of clouds was held once again. This was also the last court meeting in the 382nd year. Many matters in this year had to be decided in this court meeting.
The court stewards first dealt with some of the important matters that had accumulated in the past. When they were done, the Daoist at the head seat spoke from above the long river of light and Qi, "Last time, there were a total of eight Mystique Venerables who were recommended by the court stewards. Among them, there are four who surpass the rest in terms of merits and achievements. I have already listed them in the list."
Chen Tingzhi asked from his seat, "Chief Daoist, may I ask who the four are?"
The Chief Daoist glanced at Wu Qingxu, who opened a scroll of talismans and said, "These four are Wei Tao, Wei Xuanshou, Zhang Yu, Zhang Shouzheng, Kong Fu, Kong Xuan Zun, and Cen Chuan and Cen Xuan Zun."
Everyone identified them and immediately knew what was going on.
Wei Tao was the Xuanshou of the Upper Continent of Jing Chu. He started cultivating early and his skills were high. He was assigned to guard the Outer Continent. Speaking of which, it was a pity. However, his empty position could be replaced by another Xuan Zun. This was undoubtedly the Chief Daoist's arrangement.
As for Zhang Yu, everyone regarded him as the leader of the Xuanxiu faction. It was not strange for him to have a seat here.
Kong Fu, on the other hand, was an unorthodox cultivator and was also the guardian of the eastern sky's corner. This was undoubtedly Chen Ting's decision. In this way, they could arrange for another unorthodox cultivator to guard the outer sky's corner.
Cen Chuan was undoubtedly recommended by Zhong Weiwu and Zhangsun Qian.
This name list took into account all parties. It seemed to be the best result at the moment. It was expected that most people would accept it.
However, there were people who disagreed.
Following a resounding chime, Chao Huan stood up. He faced the River of Light and Qi and said, "Chief Daoist, I think this name list is inappropriate."
The Chief Daoist looked at him and said, "What do you think is inappropriate, Chao Tingzhi?"
Chao Huan said, "During the last court meeting, the Chief Daoist asked us to recommend suitable candidates. I recommended Zhu Feng as the Guardian. Why didn't the Chief Daoist accept it?"
Wu Qingxu said in a low voice, "Chao Tingzhi, Zhu Feng's Xuan Zun has just returned to Tianxia. Her intentions have yet to be seen. How can we easily entrust her with such an important task? There is nothing inappropriate about removing her from the name list. "
Chao Huan said, "Then I would like to ask." He pointed outside. "Didn't Cen Chuan just return to Tianxia? How can he be a candidate on the name list? Why, if Cen Chuan can be a candidate, why can't Zhu Feng? "
He stood with his sleeves behind his back and said loudly, "In terms of mana, skills, and years of cultivation, how can Zhu Feng be inferior to Cen Chuan? When Zhu Feng first came to Tianxia, Xuan Zun also contributed a lot. Even after she left Tianxia, she did not betray Tianxia. Unlike Cen Chuan who was expelled, Xuan Ting did not take away her merits. Based on this, her merits are above Cen Chuan.
Zhu Feng's Xuan Zun left a message the moment she returned to Tianxia. She also contributed a lot. No matter how you compare it, she is better than Cen Chuan. Why can't she be listed on the list? "
Wu Qingxu said, "Chao Tingzhi, whether or not you can become the prefecture's governor depends not only on your merits, but also on the recommendation of the court administrators. For example, each of the four Mystic Venerable Ones on the list has been recommended by at least two court administrators. As for Spiritual Master Zhu, he has only been recommended by you, Chao Tingzhi. It is reasonable that he is not on the list."
Chao Huan shouted, "I don't accept this! This recommendation is not decided by the court. Why are you favoring one over the other? "
Wu Qingxu looked up at him.
The Daoist priest nodded and said, "Alright. Since Chao Tingzhi believes that it is not decided by the court, we will decide by the court!"
Chen Tingzhi thought for a while. He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime, saying, "I think that these four are suitable." Wei Liang and Dai Gonghan followed suit.
Daoist Zhong thought for a while. He did not want to see Zhang Yu listed on the name list. He wanted to refute it, but now that Chao Huan had stirred things up, he could not openly oppose it. Otherwise, he would be hindered in the future. After weighing the pros and cons, he did not say much. He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime.
After them, the rest of the Daoists also knocked on the jade chime to express their agreement.
It could be said that apart from Chao Huan, the rest of the Daoists approved of the name list.
The Daoist priest looked at Chao Huan and said, "Chao Tingzhi, do you have any objections?"
Chao Huan was also convinced, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied. He raised his head and said, "Since the court has decided, I have no objections." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and sat back down. However, as long as he felt that something was not right, he would still stand up and refute.
The Daoist priest looked away when he saw Chao Huan leave. He said, "Since the decision has been made, we will discuss it again later. These four are the prefectures that guard the prefecture."
