Qingqiong Land, Shouzheng Palace. Zhang Yu sat down in the main hall and thought about the battle just now.
Now, every time he experienced a battle, he would try to look back and see where he still had flaws and where he still needed to make up for them.
Although this was not a battle of life and death, he still gained a lot.
Cen Chuan's strength was that he could fight with his virtual body. Even if he failed to kill the enemy, he had a chance to try again. In fact, he had encountered a few such opponents.
But this was not strange, because many cultivators in Tianxia were inclined to make such a choice.
One of the main reasons was that when cultivators in Tianxia fought with Shangchen and the various forces in the inner and outer realms, those who had such supernatural powers were more likely to survive. This was because they were not afraid of making mistakes and could deal with all kinds of endless methods.
In the end, this was a choice forced by external forces. After all, there were very few people in this world who could ignore such external forces.
It was very difficult to deal with such an opponent. Just from the battle just now, unless one could directly find the opponent's real body, one could only kill the opponent by continuously killing his virtual body.
But this was very passive. If the opponent realized that he was not confident in winning, then the real body was bound to retreat in advance. It could be said that he could advance and retreat freely.
Of course, it was not that there was no way to restrain it. For example, Hunkong Laozu's curse. From the past records, the curse was directly targeted at the person. It did not matter if the person was a virtual body or a real body. Once it fell, the person would bear it.
But if Cen Chuan used the mysterious power that messed up the senses, the curse would be difficult to touch his body. From this, it could be seen that Cen Chuan was indeed a cultivator with a long history of cultivation. Every mysterious power had its own meaning.
And from Cen Chuan's performance in the battle just now, he had a feeling that whether it was the magical power or the mysterious power, they were all carefully chosen by himself. The magical power and the magical power could be determined by the cultivator's own will, but the mysterious power …
He thought about it for a moment. Logically speaking, if a sect's legacy was long enough and they accepted enough disciples, and these disciples were able to continuously give back to the sect, then after meeting certain conditions, some mysteries could indeed be actively pursued. Perhaps this was the case for Cen Chuan.
If that was the case, then Zhengqing's lineage was even more powerful than they had originally estimated.
Judging from the fact that Cen Chuan's offensive methods were slightly lacking, this person's dao technique was either not completely perfected yet, or he had a certain killing move that he had yet to use.
He pondered over the supernatural powers and Dharma Access that he possessed. The Art of Virtual Body, Absolute Slaying, was currently difficult to break because no matter how powerful the sword was, it would not be able to kill the real body.
Unless he could cultivate to an even higher level of Qi Severing, then with a slash of his sword, as long as his opponent was in one body, slashing the incarnation was equivalent to slashing the main body. However, he was unable to do so now, so he could only think of other methods. Currently, the only thing he could use to restrain this technique was the Art of Word Seal.
If his Heart Light was much higher than his opponent's, then with a shout, he would be able to disperse the virtual body, or even suppress the real body.
However, at the level of Xuan Zun, other than increasing the Heart Light, he could actually think of ways to increase the power of the Word Seal by increasing the transformations of the Word Seal.
Previously, he did not do this because most of the divine vitality he obtained was used to replenish the Six Righteous Seals and Heart Light Seals in order to strengthen his foundation and catch up to those seniors who were a step ahead of him. Because if his foundation was insufficient, then no matter what seal one had, it would be useless.
Now that he had gradually closed the gap between him and his predecessors through refining large amounts of mystical rations, then next, it was time to focus on the Word Seal.
As he was thinking, he sensed something in his heart and looked down the stairs. There was a flash of light below, and Daoist Ming Zhou appeared there. He bowed to him and held an imperial edict in his hand, saying, "Zhang Shouzheng, Ming Zhou is under orders to deliver the seal and robe of the Xuan Head of Dongting Prefecture."
Zhang Yu's gaze fell, and the imperial edict floated over and landed in his hand. He opened it and took a look, then closed it and put it away. He nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble you."
Daoist Ming Zhou said respectfully, "I don't dare. Ming Zhou is only following orders. If Zhang Shouzheng has nothing else to say, Ming Zhou will take his leave."
Zhang Yu nodded, and Daoist Ming Zhou bowed again, then disappeared.
Zhang Yu sat and thought for a moment, then turned into a doppelganger and landed in the Kui Manor.
Li Qinghe sensed the movement and immediately put down what he was doing and came to the main hall. When he saw Zhang Yu appear, he hurriedly bowed and said happily, "Teacher is here." In previous years, Zhang Yu had sent his doppelganger down to celebrate the New Year and only left after the New Year. Therefore, to him, Zhang Yu had only left for a few days.
Zhang Yu said, "I have already told you a few days ago that the Dongting Protectorate has been promoted to the Dongting Prefecture, and I have been ordered by Xuanting to be the Dongting Prefecture's Guard. In a few days, I will go here. You are also from the Dongting Prefecture, so make some arrangements and come back with me this time."
Li Qinghe showed a hint of joy and excitement, bowed and said, "Yes, Teacher."
Dongting Protectorate, Governor's Office.
Governor Yang Jue was flipping through a report. The Xiao Tong of the past was now a young man of twenty years old.
He had delicate features and looked a little thin and weak on the surface, but he had been adhering to Tianxia's etiquette for a long time, so his body was actually very healthy.
A personal guard came in and reported, "Governor, Director Liu has arrived."
Yang Jue raised his head and said, "Quickly invite him in."
Liu Fengquan, the Director of the Governing Department, entered the hall and bowed, "Governor."
Although ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, he paid attention to his health. In addition, Tianxia had a long lifespan, so he was just like ten years ago. His body was very healthy, and his hair was black without a single strand of white.
Yang Jue walked down and personally supported Liu Fengquan, saying, "Teacher, you may rise."
Liu Fengquan stood up straight and said, "Thank you, Governor."
Yang Jue invited him to sit down, then returned to the main seat, saying, "I invited Teacher here today because the matter of the promotion of the Protectorate has been decided in the mainland. I'm sure Teacher has also received the news."
Liu Fengquan nodded. After contact with the mainland was restored, the Protectorate's Office was directly under the Yujing Chao's Office, so he would receive a report whenever there was news from the mainland.
In the past, the news would be delayed for a period of time due to the vast ocean. However, with Xuntian Dao Zhang, the Protectorate's Office would be informed as soon as there was any movement from the mainland.
He said, "The Chao's Office has kept all the officials of the Protectorate and will transfer a portion of the officials from the mainland. They are very generous to the Protectorate."
He raised his head and said, "But this time, how will the Chao's Office arrange for the Governor to be promoted?"
Yang Yu said frankly, "Sir, you know that I don't want to be the Viceroy. It's just that I have no choice but to do so."
Back then, after the Battle of the Honghe Pass, the Dongting Protectorate had lost too many soldiers and was in a precarious situation. Thus, they supported him, the heir of the Yang family, who had the blood of the An family, to be promoted.
However, in reality, before he came of age, he was just a decoration. The military power was in the hands of his uncle, An Youting, and the governing power was in the hands of the Protectorate's Office.
After the Dongting Protectorate returned to Tianxia, considering the special circumstances of the Dongting Protectorate, the mainland had tacitly agreed to this situation.
However, this promotion of the Protectorate's Office would obviously start to adjust. In reality, after the Protectorate returned to Tianxia, this adjustment had been going on. Many of the Protectorate's officials had already been transferred to the mainland to take up positions, and at the same time, many officials transferred from the mainland to take up important positions in the Protectorate's Office.
As for himself, he had two choices. The first was to become the Deputy Commandant of the prefectural army, and the second was for him to study in Yujing. He was leaning towards the latter option.
He said expectantly, "Actually, I also want to see Yujing. I want to visit many places."
Liu Fengquan looked at his expression and slowly nodded. "Governor, you are still young. You should travel and see more. Going to Yujing is indeed better than staying in the Protectorate's Office. Governor, you have endured too much over the years."
Yang Yu smiled and said, "I don't have anything to bear. It's all thanks to Mister Liu and your hard work. I still remember that when the Beacon Tower was almost toppled, it was Mister Liu who carried me to hide in the secret chamber. The reason why I can sit here is because of Mister Liu and the other officers from the various yamen offices. It's all because of Mister Liu and the other officers that the Protectorate has been able to remain stable until now."
Liu Fengquan hurriedly said, "This old man is ashamed. Governor, you are too modest." He thought for a moment, then said, "The Protectorate's Office has been transformed into a Governor's Office. I believe there will be changes in Xuanfu as well. What will happen?"
Yang Jue said, "I heard that Xuanting will send a Xuan Zun to guard this place. However, I don't know who this person is."
Even if the Protectorate's Office had been transformed into a Governor's Office, Xuanfu was still above the Governor's Office in terms of etiquette. As for the details, they would only be informed when the dust had settled.
He was both worried and expectant. He thought to himself, "I wonder what this new Xuan Zun will be like. I only hope that he will be able to take good care of the Protectorate's Office."
Outer Layer, Kui Di Planet.
After Li Qinghe entrusted the matters of the manor to Qing Mo, he went to the main hall. He then bowed to Zhang Yu, who was sitting there, and said, "Sir, Qinghe has already made the arrangements."
Zhang Yu nodded and reached out to point at him. Li Qinghe suddenly felt his mind go blank. When he regained his senses, he found himself standing in a very familiar square.
He glanced at the spacious stone steps in front of him and the mysterious cicada wing pattern on the stone door. He said excitedly, "Sir, this, this is Taiyang Academy?"
He turned his head and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar Auspicious Light City. He couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't imagine that he had returned from the outer layer to the inner layer in an instant and directly arrived at Auspicious Light City, which was located in the outer sea.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Follow me." As he spoke, he strode toward Taiyang Academy. Li Qinghe turned around and took a deep breath. Then, he hurriedly caught up with him.
