On the Qingqiong Land, Zhong Weiwu and Chong Zhao were casting spells in their respective palaces to counter the Heavenly Mystery.
Ever since Shang Chen Tian invaded the inner layer a few years ago, they had been doing this and had never stopped.
Now, they spent most of their time protecting their own side. Occasionally, they could counter Shangchen's Heavenly Mystery, but the chances were few and far between.
In terms of calculating the Heavenly Mystery, Shangchen had the upper hand and was aggressive, while Tianxia was on the defensive, but they were not completely powerless.
But at some point, the two suddenly felt that the calculation of the Heavenly Mystery became more difficult.
In the past, Shangchen's calculation of the Heavenly Mystery had its ups and downs, but the changes were not big. However, they had never seen such a sudden surge in the Heavenly Mystery, like a surging tide.
Zhong Weiwu stood up and walked to the wall of the palace. He waved his sleeve and the wall lit up. Taoist Chong's figure appeared from within.
He said in a low voice, "Taoist Chong, something is wrong."
Taoist Chong said, "Could it be that Shangchen is preparing to make a move?"
Zhong Weiwu thought for a moment and shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. If Shangchen tried to summon Huanyang school, there would be a Heaven Seeking Platform to detect the Heavenly Mystery. It can't be hidden.
Even if Shangchen doesn't know that we have this thing, it's not difficult for them to infer that we have the means to monitor this matter. Since they know this, why do they have to do this? "
Chong Zhao said, "Taoist Zhong, do you mean that this person has other motives?"
Zhong Weiwu said, "I think so. This matter is urgent and we can't make the decision. It's better to inform the court as soon as possible."
Chong Zhao agreed.
Next, the two of them immediately drafted a memorial and quickly reported this matter to the higher-ups.
The Taoist at the head seat received the memorial quickly. Without delay, he invited Lin Tingzhi over and said, "Lin Tingzhi, how's the refining of the Root Fixing Plate?"
The Root Fixing Disk was a magic weapon made to replace the Clear Sky Astrolabe, but most importantly, it was used to resist Shangchen's divination.
In fact, ever since the confrontation between the two families, Tianxia had been trying to refine such a magical instrument. However, it required the use of many Xuan Zun to work together. Over the past three hundred years, although Tianxia had occupied the inner layer, the situation was still uncertain. Therefore, this matter had been intermittent and had never been completed.
Lin Tingzhi replied, "Head Enforcer, this mystic artifact is still lacking a bit of maturity. A mystic artifact that is used in conjunction with heavenly mysteries is the most intricate and mysterious. Even the slightest bit of inadequacy is still inadequacy. Furthermore, in order to obtain superior quality, the artifact itself is also within the mysteries of heaven. Without the mysteries of heaven, no matter how it is refined, it will only be an inferior artifact. Its usefulness will still be limited. "
The Taoist at the head seat said, "Lin Tingzhi has seen the memorials of Zhong and Chong Zhao. Shangchen's actions must have a purpose. Although I am limited and can't predict their actions, I still need to respond. I can't let them do whatever they want."
Lin Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "If it's only to counter, perhaps you can release the 'Jiao Kongxing'."
The Taoist at the head seat asked, "Is it appropriate to release this artifact now?"
Lin Tingzhi said, "I think it's the right time. I have the Xuntian Dao Zhang to implicate the heavens. Even if I miscalculate, it won't be a big problem. Besides, Shangchen relies on it even more. Even if I can't shake their foundation, I can still throw them into chaos for a while."
Although Shangchen messed up the mysteries of heaven, there was actually justice within the chaos. Otherwise, even he himself wouldn't be able to use it. Thus, to be precise, it was just a concealment technique.
The 'Jiao Kongxing' was an artifact that Tianxia secretly refined. It could completely mess up the mysteries of heaven. Naturally, there was no distinction between friend and foe here. Once it was released, even Tianxia himself wouldn't be able to predict it.
However, since he couldn't predict it in the first place, there was no loss in doing this. On the other hand, each party had the Xuntian Dao Zhang. Even if they miscalculated, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Because Shangchen's calculations were brilliant, they relied on it more than they did. They relied on it to communicate with each other and spy on Tianxia. If it was cut off, it could be said that they had temporarily lost their eyes and ears.
The head Daoist pondered for a moment, then ordered Ming Zhou, who was waiting at the side, and said, "Ming Zhou, pass this proposal to Zhong and Chong, the two court administrators."
After giving instructions, he said to Lin Tingzhi, "If the two of you have no objections, then Lin Tingzhi will immediately release the 'Jiao Kongxing' as a countermeasure."
Lin Ting Zhi cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.
Shangchen Sky, somewhere in the subordinate airspace. Jin Zhixing was holding a scroll of Daoist scripture, and was teaching the disciples below to practice Xuan Dao.
He had been here for two years, but until now, there were still not many who could successfully convert to Xuntian Dao here.
The reason was that Shangchen's mainstream was True Dao, and Xuan Dao was despised as inferior.
In fact, the disciples who came here to practice were from the lower sects and were not valued. The truly talented disciples would never come here to learn Dao. Some of the disciples did not think that their future was over, and were always resistant to being forced to come here to learn Dao.
However, he did not care about this. These disciples would only increase the power of Shangchen if they were successful, and it was better if they were unwilling to learn. It would save him more effort.
After he finished his lecture, he ignored the disciples and went straight back to his residence.
However, when he walked into the inner room, he suddenly sensed that Daoist Hun Kong was standing there. He bowed and said, "Sorry for being impolite."
Daoist Hun Kong said lightly, "Kim Daoist, are the informants that were given to Kim Daoist still around?"
Jin Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm expression and said, "They are all still around. However, Kim Daoist did not know the higher-ups' intentions, so he did not use them easily." He raised his head and asked, "Is there anything you need from me?"
Daoist Hun Kong said, "There is something that I need your informants for."
Jin Zhixing said, "Please give me your orders."
Daoist Hun Kong said lightly, "It's not a big deal." He took out a letter and handed it over. "Just do as I said.
Jin Zhixing came over.
Daoist Hun Kong did not say anything else. After bowing, he turned into a white light and left.
After he left, Jin Zhixing returned to his seat. He opened the letter and was slightly shocked. It was asking him to order his informants to start stirring up trouble in Tianxia.
This did not seem to be a big deal. Initially, he only needed to inform them. However, the higher-ups in Shangchen sent him a letter in a Solemnly manner. This made him feel that things were not as simple as he thought.
He thought for a while and did not make the decision himself. Instead, he secretly sent the message to Zhang Yu through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Zhang Yu had been sitting in meditation ever since he started cultivating. When he felt the message from Xuntian Dao Zhang, he immediately diverted his attention and received it.
After reading it, he thought for a while and called out, "Is Daoist Ming Zhou here?"
Ming Zhou appeared beside him and said, "Shouzheng, what are your orders?"
Zhang Yu said, "Is there any news from Shangchen recently?"
Ming Zhou replied, "After Shangchen retreated, there was no more movement. Only a few days ago, there was a rumor in the court that the disturbance of the heavenly secrets was much greater than before. It was more difficult for me, Tianxia, to calculate the heavenly secrets. Therefore, after discussion, we decided to release the 'Jiao Kongxing' in a few days."
After asking, Zhang Yu learned of the use of this Dharma artifact.
After asking, he also thought about whether there was any connection between these two matters.
Shangchen's informants were spread all over the continents. They lived in different places. Some, like Ban Lan, had a higher reputation and could inspire people's hearts. There were also some who were dormant and did not have much influence.
If everyone did the same thing, the results would be very different. This plan was very crude. It seemed that they did not intend to make good use of these informants and did not care about the results.
However, things should not be so simple. The real goal should be hidden underneath.
He thought about it carefully. From the beginning of Shangchen's invasion to the recent events, it seemed scattered, but he felt that there was something that could be connected.
He vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but because he lacked some key clues, he could not see through it.
Unable to find an answer, he did not continue. He directly reported this matter to the court through Xuntian Dao Zhang. He believed that the court officials would be able to make a judgment.
On the ice plains, after half a month of cultivation, Yuan Daoist woke up from his meditation. He raised his hand and used his mana. He saw that wherever his mana passed, a part of his body seemed to disappear from the world. When he used his mana to circulate throughout his body, his entire body disappeared. Not even a trace of his aura remained.
After a while, he appeared again. This time, he had changed from a sitting position to a standing position. He bowed to Kuai Jing, who had been standing there and did not seem to have moved from his position. He said, "Thank you, Junior Kuai, for protecting me."
Kuai Jing looked at him expectantly and said, "Senior Kuai, are you going to start cultivating?"
Yuan Daoist said, "Yes."
Kuai Jing said, "Senior Kuai's technique is mainly about concealment. However, it is useless to just avoid it because the upper realm is there. If you want to go there, you can't rely on that."
Yuan Daoist did not refute. He smiled and said, "The logic is correct. Then, Junior Kuai, do you have any good ideas?"
Kuai Jing said seriously, "One way is for me to help you cultivate. Another way is for you to abandon your original technique and cultivate another technique." He said sincerely, "But Senior Kuai's path is already a little off. Therefore, I suggest that you use the latter method."
Yuan Daoist looked at him and said, "Cultivate another technique? Junior Kuai, are you talking about Xuanxiu? " He did not reject it immediately. Instead, he thought about it seriously and shook his head, "Cultivating Xuanxiu requires the acceptance of the Great Chaos. There are too many dangers here. I am not confident."
Kuai Jing smiled and said, "That is for others. I have a way to help Senior Kuai get through this and even improve."
"Improve?" Yuan Daoren seemed to have thought of something and his heart trembled. He looked up and saw that Kuai Jing didn't look any different from before. However, as he looked down, he saw a circle of scorched earth under his feet.
