Zhang Yu walked out of the hall and stood on the steps to look out. The sea of clouds outside was churning endlessly, and the morning light spilled down from the heavenly birds in the sky. The golden light drifted along with the clouds, and it was extremely dazzling and magnificent.
Daoist Ming Zhou was already waiting there, and behind him was a flying carriage. Seeing him come out, Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and said, "Shouzheng greets you. The Head Enforcer and the Court Enforcers have arrived at the Cloud View Platform. Please board the carriage, and let Ming Zhou send Shouzheng to that place."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble." He strode forward and boarded the carriage, then sat down on it.
Following the sound of a golden bell, a misty fog surged from the bottom of the carriage, and the flying carriage rose into the air and flew towards a certain direction.
After traveling for a while, the flying carriage landed steadily in front of a majestic palace platform. At this moment, one could see that at the top of the platform, there was a rainbow across the sky, and the Head Enforcer and the Court Enforcers were all seated on it.
And this time, besides the eleven Court Enforcers, even Lin Tingzhi, who rarely appeared, was here.
Zhang Yu alighted from the carriage and came to the platform. He bowed to the Head Enforcer and the Court Enforcers, and everyone returned the greeting.
At this moment, the sound of a golden bell was heard again, and another flying carriage came from afar. When it got closer, it also landed on the side of the platform.
Cen Chuan walked down from the carriage, and he raised his head proudly to look at everyone. After a while, he bowed and said, "Fellow Daoists, long time no see."
Everyone returned the greeting.
The Head Enforcer said, "Fellow Daoist Cen, now that you have returned to Tianxia, we can let bygones be bygones. I hope that you can correct your heart and start anew."
Cen Chuan chuckled and said, "Head Enforcer, since I have returned, I will let bygones be bygones."
The Head Enforcer said, "I hope that Fellow Daoist Cen will be true to his words and deeds."
Cen Chuan lowered his eyes and stood there in silence.
At this moment, Wu Qingxu stepped forward and said, "The purpose of this discussion is to decide who will be the Guardian of Dongting Prefecture. Let me ask the two of you one more question. If either of you is willing to withdraw, then there's no need for this discussion to continue."
Cen Chuan chuckled. "At this point, how can this Cen retreat?" He looked at Zhang Yu. "I believe this Zhang Shouzheng is the same."
Zhang Yu nodded his head and said, "He should compete with this Xuan Zun."
Wu Qingxu said in a low voice, "Since the two of you insist on not retreating, then let's follow our original plan and discuss Dao."
At this moment, Lin Tingzhi stepped forward and said kindly, "After all, this is the upper level of Tianxia. It's the foundation of the Tianxia Prefecture, and we rarely fight. In order not to disturb the peace of this place, we have chosen a place for the discussion."
He stretched out his hand and pointed above the sea of clouds, and a thin layer of fog dissipated, revealing a whirlpool of clouds that was spinning like a vortex.
He said, "This is the place where the sea of clouds sinks, and it has the ability to swallow everything. The deeper you go, the more stagnant it becomes. When the two of you fight inside, the aftermath of your battle will not spread to the outside world, and no one will be able to see the two of you fighting."
Even though the Xuanting Daoist cultivators left some records of their own techniques and abhijna, that was not everything. They would try to hide some of their killing moves or fundamental mysteries, and this was tacitly permitted by the Xuanting Prefecture.
Even if these things could be revealed on the surface, only Shouzheng could see them. The rest, like the Head Enforcer, did not know about these things. However, if the two of them were to discuss Dao in front of everyone, it would mean that all of their techniques would be exposed. Therefore, this place was specially arranged so that no one would be able to spy on them, and the two of them could use their respective techniques without worry.
Cen Chuan said, "I would like to ask, how can this discussion be considered a victory?"
Lin Huaixin smiled and said, "Both of you, please look behind you."
Zhang Yu and Cen Chuan turned their heads to look. After the fog dissipated, they saw a golden bronze plate erected above the sea of clouds. There was a jade spoon on this jade plate, and it was divided into Yin and Yang.
Cen Chuan said in a low voice, "The Energy Plate."
Lin Huaixin said, "That's right. With this plate as a shield, the two of you will not lose. What do both of you think?"
Cen Chuan laughed and said, "Since both of you have already thought about it, why do you need to ask me? Let's do it this way."
Zhang Yu also knew about this item. It was said that this item was passed down from the Ancient Xia Dynasty, and later came into the world.
Because of the prevalence of Ancient Xia Dynasty, to prevent too many deaths and injuries, many superior cultivators worked together to build this plate. It could separate Yin and Yang, and change the fate. As long as this plate was protecting them, the combatants would not have to worry about their lives. Once the victor and loser were decided, the spoon on the plate would point to one spot, and everyone would know.
He nodded and said, "I have no objections."
Lin Huaixin agreed and waved his hand. A ray of light shone from the Energy Plate and fell on the two of them. Then, he retracted it and said, "Both of you may enter the vortex of clouds. The court enforcers will wait here for both of you to come out."
He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, I would like to ask both of you for a favor. When both of you enter the inner room, I hope that both of you can record your feelings and feelings in addition to the battle. If it's convenient, you can pass it to me after you come out."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "This is not difficult."
Cen Chuan said, "Let's talk about it after we come out."
Just as the two of them were about to move, there was a flash of light and Daoist Zhong's clone appeared beside Cen Chuan. He handed over a starry pouch and said, "Fellow Daoist Cen, this is what you need."
Cen Chuan took it and put it in his sleeve, saying, "I thought you didn't want to give it to me."
Daoist Zhong said, "Fellow Daoist Zhangsun has been in seclusion for the past few days and hasn't received any news. Today, I came here to give you this item." At this moment, he transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Cen, are you confident in this discussion?"
Although Cen Chuan spoke casually, he was very cautious when it came to this matter. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll do my best." As he said this, he flung his sleeve and flew into the vortex of clouds in a clear rainbow.
Zhang Yu's thoughts changed and his body flashed. He also flew into the vortex of clouds.
Seeing the two of them disappear into the vortex, Lin Huaixin turned around and asked, "Zhong Tingzhi, what did you give Fellow Daoist Cen?"
Daoist Zhong didn't hide anything and said, "Just a few Sky Splitting Thunder Beads."
Lin Huaixin didn't understand and asked, "What does he need these for? With the Energy Plate, he should know that these things can't be used. "
Daoist Zhong said, "I don't know about that."
On the other side, as soon as Zhang Yu and Cen Chuan entered the vortex of clouds, they felt their bodies sink slightly. The deeper they went, the stronger the feeling became. They both unleashed their powers to resist it. At the same time, they lost sight of each other.
Cen Chuan knew about the vortex of clouds, but he had never been here before. He identified it and knew that if he wanted to stay in this place for a long time, he had to constantly use his mana. The longer he stayed, the more mana he would use.
Once he started fighting, this process would be accelerated. Not only that, his sensing ability also fell to an extremely low level. He could only sense things within a thousand feet. Any further and it would be blurry.
He thought for a moment, then took out a pill and swallowed it. Then, he took out the jade talisman token given to him by Daoist Zhong.
This item could calculate the secrets of the heavens and guide him in the correct direction he wanted. If this item was used in battle, it would remind him before he made a choice. This would determine his chances of winning. If his chances of winning were high, he could take advantage of the situation. If his chances of winning were low, he could stop in advance and avoid danger.
At this moment, he held the item and used his mind to analyze it. He could vaguely feel that if he sat still, his chances of winning would be halved. However, if he took the initiative to look for his opponent, his chances of winning would be higher.
He didn't know the real reason for this place, but he was determined to follow the guidance of this item. He immediately pressed down with his hand and rays of spiritual light flew out. They quickly disappeared into the surrounding clouds.
As Zhang Yu's body sank, a strange feeling rose in his heart. This place was like a place with thick turbid tides. It was a little similar, but there were also certain differences. It seemed to be deliberately created to imitate the turbid tides. Thinking of Lin Huaixin's words just now, a guess rose in his heart. However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Now that he was facing a great enemy, he didn't have time to think about anything else.
At this moment, he also felt that in order to resist the pressure from the cloud vortex, his Light of Heart would continue to be consumed.
He thought about it. The environment was different, so the way he fought would also be different. The existence of the cloud vortex gave him another choice, which was to hide himself and avoid fighting with his opponent. The side that couldn't hold on first would definitely retreat first, and the remaining people would be able to smoothly win this battle.
However, he immediately rejected this idea. This kind of passive method was not his choice. Moreover, if he didn't directly defeat his opponent, it was very likely that he would miss the opportunity to obtain the mysteries. The mysteries were not something that could be obtained. If he didn't grab hold of it this time, he might miss it forever.
Thinking of this, he moved his mind, and dozens of talismans that he had prepared in advance flew out of his sleeves. They spun around him in the air, and bloomed with a faint light. Then, they flew in different directions.
Although he didn't know that he would be fighting with this person in the cloud vortex, he had considered various possibilities. Therefore, he had made sufficient preparations this time to deal with different situations.
Because both sides of the battle had the desire to actively fight and were actively looking for opponents, it didn't take long for the auras of the two sides to come into contact.
Zhang Yu had been standing in the same place. After sensing the existence of this person, his eyes flashed. He waved his sleeve and several rays of light from his Zen wings slashed horizontally in that direction. They quickly disappeared into the depths of the clouds, but soon there was no movement. The aura also suddenly disappeared.
After waiting for a breath, a sharp white light suddenly flew out from the clouds behind him and silently shot towards the back of his head!
