Zhang Yu noticed that in these Xuanting Daoist books, when talking about the magical instrument used to protect the Place of the Void, the notes left by the predecessors all clearly stated that this matter could not be entrusted to others, not even to those closest to him. He had to do it himself, or else it would leave behind a huge hidden danger.
He also agreed on this point. Even if it was someone he could absolutely trust, it was best not to put an opportunity in front of them. This would not be good for the person and himself.
As for refining this magical instrument, there were two main methods. One was to take the Heaven and Earth Bell Spirit treasure and refine it for one's own use. The type of magical instrument was secondary. The method of refining the instrument was not too demanding. The key was that the treasured materials used must be of high quality. This way, after refining it, it could return to the void and be used by oneself.
After the Xuanting occupied the upper level, there was no lack of such treasured materials. He could use Xuan rations to exchange for them, and then slowly refine them according to the method.
The Daoist book also mentioned that an ownerless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure was the best. This was because this item could be used easily. It could be used to protect and did not require too much effort. It could also be used to cultivate. However, looking at the tone of the person who wrote the note, there was a hint of envy in his tone. It should be that he did not have it and was just envious of others.
At this moment, he changed his mind. Actually, the Divine Tree was not perfect. As long as it was mostly restored, it could be used as this item. However, the problem now was that whether it was refining the instrument or trying to restore the Divine Tree, these were not things that could be done in a hurry. Furthermore, he needed the magical instrument to protect him so that he could face the next battle. Therefore, this method could only be put aside for now.
The other method in the Daoist book was that if a cultivator had a high quality magical instrument and was compatible with its master, then he could directly use this instrument to cultivate the spirit and enter the void to protect it.
He thought for a while. Based on the current situation, this method was most suitable for him.
The magical instruments that were most compatible with him were undoubtedly the Cicada Cry and the Shocking Sky Swords. With his current ability, it was not difficult to cultivate the spirit.
Originally, these two swords needed to be refined again after his cultivation improved. If he used this method, he could complete it in one go.
The only regrettable thing was that these two treasures were offensive treasures. However, it wasn't impossible to use offense as a substitute for defense. It was also an expedient plan for now. The defensive treasures couldn't be abandoned, and the matter of refining them could be slowly prepared later.
As for the Divine Tree, he could use the things left behind by the Ipar to try and restore it. He did not ask for it to be in its original condition. It would be forty to fifty percent of its original condition. it mainly depended on luck.
After making up his mind, he looked through all the techniques and prepared to start the sacrificial refining of the two swords.
Because it did not involve the transformation. So, there was no difference and there was no difference between True and Xuan methods. Thus, he could refer to the experience of the predecessors.
With a turn of his mind, the surrounding scenery changed. In the blink of an eye, he had landed in the dojo opened by his family. After sitting down on the jade platform, he called out. Then, there was a long sword cry. The two flying swords flew out at the same time. They turned into two light rainbows, one green and one white, and flew around the top.
He raised his head to look, and there was a spiritual light shining out from his body, shining on the two flying swords. The clear light instantly seeped into the swords, and in just a few breaths, the two flying swords were completely cleansed.
At this moment, when he looked again, the two swords shone brightly. The Sword Qi pierced through the palace and formed two beams of Qi light that reflected each other in the sky.
He nodded slightly. Then, he withdrew his mind. The two swords were docile and fell on the table in front of him.
At this moment, he reached out and touched them. Then, he immersed his mind into the swords.
The two swords, Cicada Cry and Shocking Sky, had long been refined into his heart light. The spirituality was a division of his perception. Usually, it was attached to the swords and was independent. Now that it felt his will, it buzzed and vibrated, responding actively.
He adjusted the two swords according to the method of refining the swords. He felt the consciousness of the two swords gradually merge with his own divine qi. After a long time, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. His eyes flashed. Immediately, the heart light on his body was released and enveloped them.
At this moment, the Mysterious Cicada Visualization Picture also flew out. Its wings rushed forward and broke through the boundary between reality and illusion. It entered the Place of Void. The moment it entered, two sword lights, one green and one white, leaped out from the wings of the Mysterious Cicada Visualization Picture. Then, they flew back and forth.
Only then did Zhang Yu retract his bursting Qi. From now on, the two swords would be able to travel back and forth between the Void and the Void. They would be able to reinforce the Void Depository at any time.
Of course, this time, he only made the two swords act as protection. After all, they were offensive weapons. They had to attack to unleash their greatest power.
Moreover, when the swords flew into the void, even if they could divide the sword lights around him, it would be a waste. Therefore, he still had to refine a defensive weapon.
After he checked again, he stood up and left the training hall. He came to Shouzheng Palace and was about to call for Daoist Ming Zhou. However, he suddenly felt that Daoist Feng was looking for him. He summoned the Great Dao Chapter and said, "Greetings, Daoist Feng. Why are you looking for me?"
Daoist Feng said, "I'm sorry to disturb Daoist Zhang's cultivation. However, there's something I have to tell you. This time, Fellow Daoist's report has already been read by Xuan Ting. Although Xuan Ting believes that Fellow Daoist should be rewarded, this matter has caused a great deal of debate.
Some court enforcers believed that although this matter happened in the Eastern Court, it was an act of eliminating foreign enemies. It was the duty of the Righteous Guard, and should be rewarded based on the merit of the Righteous Guard. Just bestowing Xuan Food would suffice.
There are also court officials who think that Daoist Friend is the Eastern Court's Head Xuan. Since you eliminated the enemy in the Eastern Court, you should be rewarded based on your status as the Head Xuan and not be rewarded with Xuan Food. "
When Zhang Yu heard this, he changed his mind and asked again. Only then did he know that the ones who believed that he should continue to uphold the righteous path and insisted on bestowing the mystical grains to him were Zhong Tingzhi and the others. However, the one who believed that the mystical grains should not be bestowed upon him was Daoist Yu Su.
This seemed contradictory, but in fact, it wasn't strange at all. This was because this was a matter of merit. If this merit was counted as the position of Righteous Guard, then it would be enough to reward him with some xuan rations. No matter how many enemies he killed, no matter what the identity of the enemy was, it didn't have much to do with him.
However, if it was counted as the Head Xuan, then it was different.
When the Head Xuan was guarding the Eastern Court, he destroyed a Divine Nation that was strong enough to fight against Tianxia in advance. Especially when this Divine Nation was the ruler of the previous era. This was not a small matter, but a great merit. It was a great qualification. If it was recognized, how many Heads Xuan would be able to compete with him for the position of Court Administrator in the future?
Didn't this mean that if no one could achieve anything comparable to him, then the next court enforcer would definitely be him?
It was also because of this reason that Zhong Tingzhi and the others strongly opposed it.
He thought for a while and asked again, "What did the court say?"
Taoist Feng said, "There is no conclusion yet, but it seems that the court is leaning towards Zhong Tingzhi and the others. Because Zhong Tingzhi suggested that the Head Xuan is not prepared and cannot leave his territory. However, Fellow Daoist relied on the position of Shouzheng to wipe out enemies everywhere. If this is considered merit, then it is unfair to the other Court Administrators."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me. However, there is something I need you to pass on to the court. "
Taoist Feng said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Zhang Yu said, "Although the Head Xuan cannot leave his territory at will, if he senses danger, he can come out and get rid of it before it happens. Moreover, the four prefectures are different from the thirteen prefectures. Apart from guarding their own prefectures, they also bear the responsibility of expanding outwards.
If the Head Xuan of the four prefectures cannot even take the initiative to attack, then the Head Xuan of the four prefectures can only sit still and not move. Wouldn't it be meaningless to establish the four prefectures like this? "
Taoist Feng couldn't help but agree. Indeed, if this was the case, then wouldn't the Head Xuan of the four prefectures be waiting for others to come knocking on their door?
The old rules of the past could not be applied to the four prefectures. If there was a limit to this matter, not to mention the other two prefectures, Cen Chuan would be the first to jump out and oppose.
He said, "Fellow Daoist is right. I will pass on your words to the court."
At this moment, on a barren hill outside the Changhe Protectorate, Cen Chuan was talking with his Junior Brother Mei Shang.
Cen Chuan said, "Originally, I wanted Junior Brother to help me resist. However, Zhong Weiwu said that Tianxia is different from before. If Xuan Zun returns, he cannot stay in the human world for long. If he does not guard his territory, then he must restrain the upper echelons. Thus, my previous plan cannot be fulfilled.
Zhong Weiwu has an idea. I thought about it and if it can be done, then it is not impossible. Thus, I came to ask for Junior Brother's opinion. "
Daoist Mei said, "May I ask Senior Brother, what is the matter?"
Cen Chuan said, "I have already told Junior Brother that Shangchen's invasion will come later. This is a good opportunity for us to perform meritorious deeds. However, it is hard to say if it will fall on us. In terms of direct confrontation, Shouzheng has more enemies to deal with.
For example, that Zhang Shouzheng has not been in the position of Shouzheng for long, but he has already performed many meritorious deeds. Recently, I have even heard that he has broken through a divine country that is a great threat to our Tianxia. "
Daoist Mei said, "Senior Brother, you have said before that this person is our opponent."
Cen Chuan said, "Exactly. This person can be said to have performed many meritorious deeds. Most importantly, his reputation is not small. If we were to fight for the position of Court Administrator, I might not be able to win against him. He might even become a Court Administrator before me."
Daoist Mei said in surprise, "Senior Brother, there has never been a case of a Shouzheng being promoted to Court Administrator in the past."
Cen Chuan shook his head and said, "Not in the past, but not in the future. Moreover, he also holds the position of Head Xuan. Therefore, we must restrict this person. Zhong Weiwu believes that there are strong enemies outside and strange enemies inside. We cannot let this person focus on his own merits. He has said that he intends to submit a memorial to Xuanting to persuade the court to add another Shouzheng."
Daoist Mei looked at him and asked, "Senior Brother, are you telling me all this because you want me to be that Shouzheng?"
Cen Chuan nodded and said, "I think this idea is acceptable. Now is the best time to perform meritorious deeds. Moreover, you can also share the merits of Zhang Shouzheng. However, this still depends on Junior Brother's own intentions."
Daoist Mei thought about it. He understood that Cen Chuan still hoped that he would be the Shouzheng. Otherwise, he would not have mentioned this matter so solemnly. He asked, "Can this be done?"
Cen Chuan said, "Since Zhong Weiwu has mentioned this matter, he should be confident."
Daoist Mei thought about it for a moment, then bowed and said, "Since this is the case, I will listen to Senior Brother's arrangements."
