Zhang Yu was rather satisfied with the sacrificial refinement this time because it had been completed in one go from beginning to end without any interruptions.
Especially the change in reality at the end. If he couldn't bring the instrument back in one go, he would have to try to open the door to reality again and follow the guidance of the divine Qi to find it.
But in that way, because there was a part of the whole process where the light of the heart was separated, it was inevitable that it would not be so perfect. It was very likely that there would be flaws left. Although it could still be used, it might leave behind many hidden dangers in the future.
At this moment, he looked over and saw that the purple light had only landed there, but it felt as if the whole world had been stripped away.
And this thing was still expanding outwards. In just a short while, the Taoist Palace was bathed in a purple brilliance.
And when he looked carefully, he could see that there were countless purple clouds colliding with each other in this light. They were like air currents and dust, but also seemed to be constantly changing.
And at this moment, this purple light seemed to have sensed his attention. This thing suddenly shrank from an extremely large area to a ball the size of a fist, and slowly floated in front of him.
He stretched out his hand, and this ball of purple light naturally fell into his palm.
At this moment, when he looked at it again, it no longer had its original appearance that was like a boundless mist. Instead, it was more like a perfectly round and flawless Violet Jade Pill. Moreover, he could feel that as time passed, it was gradually becoming heavier, as if it was changing at any time and place.
These changes were actually in accordance with his previous thoughts. It could be used to attack the enemy, protect himself, and also be used to hide.
And perhaps because it had changed between reality and illusion once, this thing had some additional characteristics that even he himself was not aware of. After it spread out, it would continue to expand and spread, its momentum becoming clearer and clearer. And when it shrank into a ball, it would continue to collapse and shrink inwards, its momentum becoming turbid.
At this moment, he waved his hand, and the Purple Jade Pill suddenly flew out, piercing through a mountain outside the hall without any delay. Then, it turned back under the command of his mind.
He checked for a moment, and found that there was not the slightest bit of damage. With another thought, this time, the Purple Jade Pill suddenly became the size of a longan. Then, he stretched out his hand and flicked his finger.
The purple light flashed and disappeared.
Boom!
The entire dojo suddenly shook and swayed a few times as if it had been hit by a great attack.
He couldn't help but nod. Just now, he had used the Purple Jade Pill as if it were a Void Calamity Bead. Though it wasn't as powerful as a Calamity Bead, it couldn't be considered weak, either. Most importantly, it didn't need to store up power.
He opened his palm, and with a flash of purple light, the Purple Jade Pellet turned back. At the same time, with a thought, the pellet dispersed and turned back into the purple mist.
He took out a strand of purple Qi and placed it outside. He saw that the strand of purple Qi was separated and spread outwards at the same speed. However, the more it expanded outwards, the slower the process became. In the end, although the process continued, it was almost undetectable.
After seeing this scene, he tried to channel his Heart Light into it again.
With the support of this strand of purple Qi, the originally stagnant momentum surged once again, quickly enveloping the entire training ground.
Moreover, it seemed that because this Qi could change between reality and illusion, it actually followed the light all the way out of the dojo and collided with the chaotic Qi to wear it down.
He observed for a while, then withdrew his mind. The purple Qi retracted and returned to its original state.
After this attempt, he already understood that this thing would be continuously depleted when there was an intense change or when it encountered an external force that could resist it. However, at the same time, it could also grow on its own. This was especially the case when it was stimulated by his inner light. As long as there was a strand of it, it could be continuously produced.
However, the range of expansion was limited. At that time, unless he continued to use his Heart Light to push it, it would not continue to grow. However, after consuming too much of it, it would quickly grow again. After expanding to a certain extent, it would slow down again. In short, if he did not channel his Heart Light into it, the fewer it was, the faster it would expand.
After figuring out the characteristics of this object, he gave it a name, and it was called "Void Purple Air Sand". And with this thought in mind, the Purple Cloud Sand seemed to have an additional level of spirituality.
The name was the root, and only then could one obtain a spirit. And this spirit was exactly what he needed.
Even though this item could change between reality and illusion, he still needed to infuse his spirituality into the location of the void, allowing his mind and spirituality to control it together. Only then would it be stable. Otherwise, separated by the boundary between reality and illusion, he would not be able to freely control this magic item.
This was also the limit of his realm. If his cultivation advanced to the next level, reality and illusion would be born together, and Yin and Yang would complement each other. Then, he would be able to move freely without any barriers, but he was unable to do so now.
He sat silently for a moment, and with a pull of his mind, he successfully guided the Purple Qi spirituality into the Place of Void Projection. It was like a bright light falling into the darkness, illuminating the place in an instant. However, it was only for an instant. As a purple light shone, it covered the place.
After this matter was done, the defensive method was complete. His heart also relaxed slightly. The next step was nothing more than slowly accumulating cultivation in order to enter the next realm as soon as possible.
He shook his sleeves and stood up, coming out of seclusion. As he walked out, the scenery around him changed, and he returned to Shouzheng Palace.
He looked through the reports from the past few days and found that they were all the same as usual. There was not much movement, so he picked up a book and started reading.
After waiting for half a day, he suddenly sensed that there was movement in the Xuntian Dao Zhang. He called out the Dao Chapter and saw that Jin Zhixing had sent over another report.
The first thing he saw was the conversation between Hunkong Laozu and Jin Zhixing. He pondered for a moment, then sent it over to Daoist Feng.
For this kind of matter, the key was still the game between the upper echelons. He was currently not involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, and there were many things that he did not understand. There was no need for him to meddle. The Xuanting would handle it.
However, the list of spies sent by Jin Zhixing caught his attention.
These people were both important and unimportant, because it was still the upper echelons of cultivators who decided the outcome of the battle. No matter what the lower echelons of cultivators did, they could not change the overall situation.
However, they were both important and unimportant, because through these people, Shangchen could understand the movements of the inner circle of Tianxia. Moreover, they could instruct these people to do something at a critical moment and play a certain role.
After he looked through them, he turned his consciousness to the Xuntian Dao Zhang, and immediately saw the origins of these people and the cultivation methods they practiced.
After he looked through the past of these people, he found something very interesting.
In order to hide their identities, these spies either kept a low profile or kept a high profile, using their reputation and achievements to hide themselves.
Those who kept a low profile were naturally not very harmful, because if they did not show their abilities, they would not be able to get a key position. As for those who kept a high profile, they naturally had to put in more effort than others.
If he only looked at the past, the contributions these people made to Tianxia far exceeded the damage they caused. Some of them even didn't have time to do anything big.
For example, there was a person called Ban Lan, who was really a talent. When he was in the Yi Luo Continent, he often went to various remote towns to give lectures. He was very keen on teaching and dispelling doubts. What he taught was not only about cultivation, but also some knowledge that ordinary people also needed to master.
Many other Daoist cultivators were influenced and encouraged by him, and they all followed his example.
However, no matter how hard this person worked, he was still a spy. Usually, it was nothing, but once the battle started, he would definitely bring some damage to Tianxia.
However, he did not have the intention to pick them up. First of all, except for a few people whose identities could be confirmed, the rest still needed to be confirmed.
Second of all, if they were all exposed, it would be disadvantageous to Jin Zhixing. Moreover, after Shangchen was prepared, they might try to set up more people. It was more useful to keep these people alive now, and they might be able to be used.
However, when he paid attention to Ban Lan, he also found that this person had recently come to Dongting, which attracted his attention.
Dongting was considered a remote area. First of all, there was a small population. Second of all, for some unknown reason, no cracks had been seen so far.
Moreover, the situation in the depths of the Subterranean Continent was complicated and unclear. For example, the whereabouts of the first Divine King of the Ipar, and the real mastermind behind the God Restoration Society were unknown. Compared to the vast and uninhabited Wasteland in the west, Shangchen would not choose this place as a breakthrough point.
He thought for a moment, then summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and asked the station in the Yi Luo Continent. Xu Chengtong quickly handed over the information.
After reading it, he could not help but nod. Xu Chengtong was really capable. He had been watching Ban Lan for a long time, and according to his analysis, this person also wanted to protect himself and avoid the dispute between the two sides.
This was a judgment that he agreed with.
Judging from Ban Lan's recent behavior, this person had exchanged a lot of seals from Xuntian Dao Zhang. This was obviously a preparation to spy on the upper realm. It was clear that this person definitely had the idea of getting rid of Shangchen.
This was also very normal. If one could become a chess player, who would be willing to be a chess piece? Especially those who had the ability and means, they were even more unwilling to be controlled by others.
And from this point of view, it could explain the person's actions this time.
At this time, he was deep in thought. Now that he had these spies and Jin Zhixing, it seemed that he could do something. Even if it did not succeed, there was no loss.
At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell. He could not help but take a look outside. It was not the middle of the month, and all the court officials were gathering. It was very likely that Shangchen's second jade book had arrived.
This was a very important court discussion. If this discussion did not reach an agreement, then it was very likely that the two sides would go to war.
Another half a day passed. He felt that Taoist Feng was intentionally sending him a message. He knew that this time the court discussion must have reached a conclusion, so he brought him over.
