Shangchen, in front of the Rainbow Hall.
The great formation in front of the hall, which had been silent for many days, suddenly emitted a bright light. In the pits where the five large carvings were originally placed, scattered light suddenly shot up into the sky, and bursts of sound transmitted down.
Daoist Tian Hong was originally sprinkling medicinal powder into the pill cauldrons in the hall. Feeling the movement, he stepped out of the hall and looked up. He saw that above the great formation, there were thick bolts of lightning flashing and swimming, like dancing golden snakes, and there were bursts of thunderclaps.
After a while, raindrops were produced, and drizzled into the center of the formation. These raindrops were like thick mercury water, condensing towards the center, and finally sank into the pit in the center. After a few breaths of silence, there was a loud bang, and a grand qi light rose into the sky, and went deep into the endless void.
When Daoist Tian Hong looked up, a golden light flashed beside him, and Gu Yangzi appeared. He was also alarmed by the changes in the formation, so he came over.
Daoist Tian Hong said, "Fellow Daoist Guyang, looking at the situation, Fellow Daoist Ying Chong is about to return."
Gu Yangzi said slowly, "According to our previous calculations, there should be about three months before his return, but now it seems that it's a bit earlier than we originally expected."
Daoist Tian Hong didn't mind, and said, "I'm not surprised. Fellow Daoist Ying Chong has already made arrangements before this, and with the guidance of the formation, he must know that we are calling him back. If he feels that there's nothing wrong, then he will definitely find a way to use this power to return to the world as soon as possible."
Gu Yangzi nodded, and said, "Fellow Daoist Ying Chong used to deal with the Evil God often, so he understands these things better than we do. After he returns, if the Evil God can escape from Tianxia, then the matter of communication between the two sides can be handed over to him."
Daoist Tian Hong, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He said, "Not only that, Fellow Daoist Guyang, I've already made all kinds of arrangements. We only need to wait for Fellow Daoist Ying Chong to come back. Then we can start recruiting Huanyang school."
Gu Yangzi nodded and said slowly, "Yes, we should hurry."
In fact, when Taoist Tian Hong mentioned Zhang Yu that day, he was also worried. However, he was not worried about Zhang Yu alone, but about Tianxia. Since there was such a person, there might be a second one. Judging from Tianxia's accumulation over the years, it was not impossible.
Looking back at Shangchen now, after being separated from Tianxia for so many years, most of the Xuan Zun people were still the same.
In the past, this was a very normal thing. How could a junior disciple possibly stand out if they didn't go through thousands of years of tempering?
However, in the blink of an eye, it seemed that everything had changed.
If they were not willing to accept this, then they had to destroy it and let everything return to the track they were familiar with.
In the depths of the void, in You City's main city, seven high platforms floated above the sea of white fog. There was a Xuan Zun sitting on each of the platforms. Each of them was surrounded by colorful clouds.
Gan Bai's incarnation was also sitting on one of the platforms. In fact, he didn't want to come. However, Xian Ding urged him to come this time. His attitude was very different from before. It was obvious that he was very determined. Therefore, he could only send an incarnation here.
This time, the crowd didn't have to wait for long before a bright light shone on the main platform. A young Daoist who was surrounded by glittering golden light appeared there.
All the Xuan Zun stood up and bowed. They said, "Greetings, Exalted Xian Ding."
Daoist Xian Ding nodded and bowed back. He said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
When everyone was seated, he said, "Shang Chen Tian and Tian Xia are about to fight again. I don't need to say more about this matter. I'm sure all of you are clear that this battle is not something we can interfere in. Everyone, come down and guard your own places. If there is anyone who goes out to fight without permission and gets involved in the battle, in order to avoid implicating other Fellow Daoists, You City will not accept that person's identity and will not go to help.
His words were immediately echoed by a few Xuan Zun.
Most people joined You City to seek protection. They didn't like Tianxia's strict rules, nor were they interested in charging into traps for others. Since they were already like this, they naturally didn't want others to drag them down.
However, it was undeniable that there were one or two people who did have some thoughts. However, after hearing what he said, they restrained their thoughts.
At this moment, someone said, "Exalted Xian Ding, will Shangchen summon Huanyang school?"
Daoist Xian Ding replied, "This matter is already confirmed. Unless Shangchen gives up everything and defers to Tianxia, or Tianxia agrees to all of Shangchen's requests, they won't stop."
Everyone shook their heads. This was a joke. If these two schools were willing to give up their positions, they wouldn't have fought against each other for more than three hundred years.
At this moment, another Xuan Zun said, "But what if Shangchen or Huanyang school don't follow the rules and attack us? What if Tianxia also attacks us? What should we do? Shouldn't we fight back? "
Daoist Xian Ding said slowly, "If you feel that you can't defend your city, you can come to my main city to seek protection. I will protect you."
Although he said this, no one responded for a while.
You City was particular about the division of governance. If they all gathered together and received protection from one person, it wouldn't seem like a big deal on the surface. However, the meaning would be completely different.
However, they had to consider the practical issues.
Shangchen still cared about their reputation. Huanyang school wouldn't reason with you at all. Unless you had the ability to suppress them, they wouldn't provoke you for the time being.
Daoist Xian Ding saw that no one spoke and said, "Tianxia and Shangchen haven't started the war yet. This matter isn't urgent. You can go back and think about it slowly. Let's talk about another matter first."
At this moment, Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi stood on the observation deck of the Qingqiong Earth. In front of them, there was a crystal jade with many holes that kept spinning and changing shape. They were currently doing some calculations about the Evil God.
The Evil God's movements didn't seem to have any pattern. However, they could tell that it was actually following a certain principle.
As the number of times it moved increased, their calculations progressed faster. When it was complete, they only needed to calculate the next location in advance through the minute changes in its Qi. Then, they could use Yuandu Xuantu to send Zhengqing Daoist there first and intercept him.
After twenty days, Zhong Tingzhi's originally drooping eyes suddenly looked up. His eyes shone brightly as he said, "I've calculated it. Eh …"
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Zhengqing Daoist, who was originally searching, suddenly moved to a place. The place he landed was exactly the place he calculated. He was stunned at first and couldn't help but praise, "So the Zhengqing Daoist has already seen through the Evil God's Dharma Access. The Zhengqing Daoist's Dharma Access is indeed impressive."
Lin Tingzhi noticed this at this moment and said to Zhan Kong, "Daoist Zhan Kong, this time, we must keep a close eye on that Evil God."
Zhan Kong nodded. With a thought, he activated Yuandu Xuantu again.
At this moment, in the void, the white-robed cultivator who was constantly moving suddenly stopped. This was because he saw that Zhengqing Daoist was already waiting for him there.
He immediately understood that from now on, it was useless no matter how he tried to escape. Furthermore, he might not be able to escape.
However, he didn't panic. Instead, he smiled. Like a Daoist cultivator, he took out a spell and his body suddenly became unstable.
On the observation platform, Lin Tingzhi and the others saw this scene through the water curtain. They couldn't help but frown.
They could all feel that this Evil God was in a state that was about to leave. If this person attacked him, it might go against his own will.
Daoist Zheng Qing glanced at him and waved his sleeve. A clear ray of light shone on the white-robed cultivator's originally illusory figure, which was illuminated by the light, immediately appeared in the real world. Daoist Zheng Qing could not help but look surprised as he asked, "You're familiar with my Dao?"
Zhengqing Daoist said, "It's just that your Dao technique is too shallow. Although you're seeking Dao and trying to walk your own path, the Dao technique you're using is still derived from a Daoist cultivator. You need to first transform yourself into a Daoist cultivator and then use the Dao technique. This way, there's a gap, and naturally, there will be flaws."
When the white-robed cultivator heard this, he was very impressed and said, "Your words are very reasonable." He then humbly asked for advice, "Then, how can I improve?"
Zhengqing Daoist said indifferently, "You can't do it. The Dao technique of my generation can be as prosperous as it is today because of the countless seniors who came one after another to pave the way. In this way, the wisdom of countless ancestors is condensed. That's the most suitable path for my generation. You follow my old path, so naturally, you can't surpass my Dao technique.
You may be able to pave a path by yourself, but it's impossible to pile up all the principles from the bottom to the top. Even if you force it, it's just a castle in the air. It'll collapse with a push, and it'll only make people laugh. "
The white-robed cultivator said thoughtfully, "According to your words, I'm destined to not achieve anything by learning your Dao, unless I throw away the mold and start afresh?"
Zhengqing Daoist said, "Your own existence is the reason. You should be searching for your own Dao. Unfortunately, you've neglected the fundamentals and pursued the trifles. Instead, you've turned to the path of a Daoist cultivator. It can be said that you've taken the wrong path. If you want to search for Dao, you can either give up your original identity and search for it as a pure Daoist cultivator, or search for it from your own kind and yourself."
The white-robed cultivator's eyes flickered incessantly. The aura on his body also fluctuated. Zhengqing Daoist's words completely refuted the meaning of him climbing the Dao. However, what he said was very reasonable.
After a while, he raised his head and suddenly asked, "Since I've taken the wrong path, then why are you telling me this? Isn't it better to see me continue to make mistakes? "
Zhengqing Daoist looked at him and said, "That's because I've never met an evil god like you before. I also want to see what an evil god like you will look like after understanding the Dao."
The white-robed cultivator looked at him and said with a strange expression, "Aren't you afraid of creating a great enemy by doing this?"
Zhengqing Daoist said indifferently, "You think too highly of yourself. Whether you've achieved Dao or not, in my eyes, you're just a pile of dust that can be wiped out easily."
