The court representatives fell silent. There was no need to read the first two requests. The key was the last one. It looked ordinary, but the meaning behind it was very deep.
A few of the court enforcers were wondering if it was worth it.
Then, they knew that if they considered this possibility, they would fall into Shangchen's trap.
However, some schemes were like this. You knew that they were targeting you, but you couldn't give up because it was beneficial to you.
This move was actually very clever. He saw that the Xuan and Hun Daoists were very likely to use this opportunity to rise up in Tianxia and suppress the True Cultivators. Therefore, he purposely used this opportunity to trigger the Xuan and Hun Daoists because the Heaven Training Dao Chapter happened to be the point of conflict between the two.
If they abandoned the Xuan Fa, they couldn't avoid Xuntian Dao Zhang. As long as Xuntian Dao Zhang was around, the Xuan and Hun Sects would definitely rise. To stop this, they had to suppress Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Therefore, no matter whether this was successful or not, if there was a dispute or dissent between the Xuanting, it would cause instability in Tianxia.
This seemed like an ordinary discussion, but it wasn't any weaker than a dangerous battle.
The Daoist on the First Seat said, "This person is scheming. Xuntian Dao Zhang can't be abolished."
Not to mention the benefits brought by Xuntian Dao Zhang, just the fact that Xuntian Dao Zhang had attracted the approval of the five court representatives meant that it couldn't be abolished.
The court representatives were slightly relieved. Since the First Seat took the initiative to express his stance, they could avoid a fight in court.
However, at this moment, the sound of a jade chime could be heard. The court representatives looked over and saw that the sound came from Chen Tingzhi's seat.
Chen Tingzhi said slowly, "Everyone, the First Seat is right. Xuntian Dao Zhang can't be abolished. However, you have to think carefully. Shangchen only wants me to temporarily stop using Xuntian Dao Zhang. Is it really not worth it to exchange this for a hundred years of peace in Tianxia? There's still room for discussion. "
He raised his head and looked at the Daoist on the First Seat. He reminded him, "First Seat, it's not hard to see what Shangchen is trying to do. If we don't agree to it, they will definitely abandon the idea of peace and focus on war. When that happens, I'm afraid that they will take that step."
As he said this, he looked at the court representatives, "Everyone should know that Shangchen has the power to retaliate. If I can live peacefully for a hundred years, our power will be able to suppress them. When that time comes, we won't have to be afraid even if they fall out with us. "
When he shifted his gaze, he deliberately looked at Zhu Yisheng. The latter immediately thought of the words Chen Tingzhi said to him that day and couldn't help but think deeply.
If Tianxia could destroy Shangchen at any time, then the conditions they proposed today would be nothing more than a joke.
However, in reality, Shangchen had someone backing them. If they didn't care about anything, they could pose a great threat to Tianxia. Now, Shangchen wasn't willing to take this step. However, if they were forced into a corner, it would be hard to say.
In fact, he wasn't the only one. The other Xuanting court representatives sitting here today were all aware of this matter. They also understood why Chen Tingzhi was concerned.
The Daoist at the head seat glanced at Chen Tingzhi. Seeing that Chen Tingzhi had brought up this matter, he knew that this matter had to be resolved in the court. He looked down and asked, "What do you all think of Chen Tingzhi's opinion?"
At this moment, a jade chime sounded. Zhong Tingzhi stood up. Everyone looked over. Chao Huan raised his eyebrows.
Zhong Tingzhi cupped his fists and said, "Head Deacon, everyone." He paused for a moment, "I don't agree with Chen Tingzhi's opinion."
All of the court enforcers were a little surprised. Usually, Zhong Tingzhi had repeatedly tried to suppress the Heaven Training Dao Chapter. They originally thought that he would take advantage of this opportunity to push the boat along with the current, but they never expected that he would actually oppose it. Could it be that there was something else?
At this moment, Zhong Weiwu indeed didn't intend to use this opportunity to oppress Xuntian Dao Zhang. Because even though he was concerned that Xuanxiu would gradually surpass Zhen Xiu in the future, he knew very well who his true enemy was.
Xuntian Dao Zhang's appearance caused the Xuan and Hun Daoists to be connected. It would create pressure on Zhen Xiu, and might even cause Zhen Xiu to be marginalized in the future. What could it do to him?
To put it bluntly, the worst outcome would be him stepping down from his position as court representative. The person who stepped down would still have xuan rations to choose from, but it would be slightly less.
Tianxia's rules protected the upper and lower, and protected him at the same time.
But Shangchen was different. If Shangchen gained power, then the higher-ups of Tianxia would definitely not have a good ending.
Moreover, Shangchen clearly wanted to provoke a conflict, so he couldn't walk in the path that the other party wanted. Did they really think that he would jump into a hole that they casually dug?
At this moment, he continued, "I also know what Chen Tingzhi said. But after a hundred years, will Shangchen stop doing that? As long as they don't defeat Tianxia, and the situation doesn't change, then they will do it sooner or later.
Perhaps some people think that after a hundred years, I, Tian Xia, can take advantage of the situation and rise. At that time, I will have nothing to fear. However, how can Shang Chen Tian not know such a simple logic? "
He looked at Chen Tingzhi, and said, "Chen Tingzhi probably knows this as well, but Chen Tingzhi still insists on bringing up this proposal. He probably believes that within a hundred years, they won't be able to come up with a way to surpass me, Tianxia.
To be honest with Chen Tingzhi, I also don't think that this person can surpass me, but the world is constantly changing, and fate is hard to predict. If the enemy wants to do something, we can't let them do as they wish. Therefore, I think that this opportunity should not be given to them! "
Daoist Yu Su nodded and said, "Zhong Tingzhi is right. So what if Shangchen takes that step? How can I, Tianxia, be the Tianxia of the past?" He sneered and said, "Let them come."
After a moment of deep thought, Zhu Yisheng picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime. When everyone looked at him, he said slowly, "I, Tianxia, was able to walk through all kinds of dangers until now, not by compromising or backing down, but by going through all kinds of battles. If what Shangchen did can defeat me, then it would be a waste of our hundreds of years of hard work."
All the court officials agreed in their hearts. In the hundreds of years, they had faced all kinds of difficult and dangerous situations, especially a hundred years ago. At that time, they were like an egg in a precarious egg, in danger of being wiped out, but didn't they still persevere?
Chao Tingzhi suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Head Enforcer, I propose a decision!"
The head Daoist glanced at him, then looked at the crowd and nodded, "Alright!"
Daoist Yu Su said coldly, "Where the people of Shangchen came from, where they will go. I will reject the proposal of this generation! "He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the chime. Immediately, a clear chime was heard.
Chao Huan also raised the jade mallet, his sleeves swayed, and knocked on the jade chime with force, saying loudly, "Reject!"
Behind him, chimes rang out incessantly on the river of light, and the court enforcers voiced their objections one after another.
"Reject!"
"Reject!"
"Reject!"
Chen Tingzhi saw that everyone had expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere in the court was even more spirited. He was silent for a moment, then picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the chime, agreeing with everyone's opinion.
When the head Daoist saw this, he couldn't help but nod. He looked at the end of the river of light and Qi and said, "Feng Tingzhi."
Daoist Feng stood up and said, "I am here."
The head Daoist said, "Tomorrow, go back and tell the emissary from Shangchen that I, Tianxia, will not accept any of their requests! If they still want to talk, the door is here, and they can come and see me. If they are not willing, I, Tianxia, will not force them. I only hope they will think carefully. "
Daoist Feng said, "I will obey."
This matter was settled, and the next step was to see Shangchen's decision. Following the head Daoist's chime, the court officials retreated from the river of light and Qi.
Zhu Yisheng stood up and left his seat, but he didn't immediately return to his own court. Instead, he stood there without moving, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, Chen Tingzhi came to his side and said, "Zhu Tingzhi, you should know that I have no selfish motives. It's just that if Shangchen does that, I, Tianxia, will have to pay a great price. If we slow down, we can avoid many unnecessary deaths and injuries."
Zhu Tingzhi looked into the distance and said, "I know Chen Tingzhi's intention, but there are some things that cannot be backed down, even if it's just for the sake of the will in the heart."
Chen Tingzhi frowned, "Will?"
Zhu Tingzhi looked down, as if he saw the towering green banyan tree that covered Qingyang Upper Continent. He said, "In the past, many people paid a great price to protect Tianxia. I can't do what they did, but can't I protect the world they protected?
Chen Tingzhi couldn't help but be speechless.
Zhu Tingzhi turned around and said, "I, Tianxia, have been reborn in this world. Daoist Chen, don't underestimate the current Tianxia. With my current strength, why do I need to compromise? If they want to come, let them come. "
In the court of the Land of Chaos, Zhang Yu sat in the main palace, refining the protective artifact. A ball of purple light could be seen dancing in front of him.
He refined this artifact using the Purple Star Dust Sand as a reference. Once this artifact was refined, it could merge into one and be used for attack. At the same time, it also had the ability to conceal.
As for whether the artifact protecting the Void Depositing Lands should be used for concealment or defense, there were many discussions in the Daoist books.
Some people believed that if the Void Depositing Lands were discovered, it wouldn't be far from being breached. It would be better to focus on concealment and eliminate the opponent as soon as possible. Then, there wouldn't be any problems.
Others believed that defense was the most important. As long as the artifact was indestructible, it would be invincible.
Actually, there was no right or wrong here. There were only different ways of thinking. No matter which way of thinking, it actually needed to be compatible with one's cultivation technique and battle style.
And as Shouzheng, he had to face enemies with different methods. If he took a single path, it was very likely that he would be easily restrained by others. Thus, he needed to combine the strengths of all sides.
Just as he was concentrating on refining the artifact, he sensed something in his mind. He left the court and came to Shouzheng Palace. Seeing Daoist Yu Su waiting there with a serious expression, his eyes flickered. He raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Daoist Yu Su, where have you come from?"
