After an unknown amount of time, the scenery in front of Liang Yi's eyes finally changed from the shattered void to the land covered with flower petals. He even felt that he was stepping on solid ground.
Daoist Ming Zhou was standing there. He cupped his fist and said, "Liang Xuan Zun, I am Ming Zhou. I am here on Xuanting's order to welcome Xuan Zun."
Liang Yi was different from the others. He had heard about the affairs of the upper class from Yu Chang, so he also knew about Ming Zhou's identity. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Daoist Ming Zhou. I would like to go to the prison to visit my teacher first. May I?"
Daoist Ming Zhou smiled and said, "Of course you may." He paused for a moment, then said, "Liang Xuan Zun, although Xuanting's laws are strict, they are not unreasonable."
At this moment, they heard the sound of bells drifting over. A flying carriage descended. Daoist Ming Zhou said, "Liang Xuan Zun, please get on the carriage."
Liang Yi walked up. Ming Zhou did not move, but another Daoist Ming Zhou appeared on the carriage. The other Daoist then disappeared. Then, with a clear sound of bells, the flying carriage turned and headed towards the prison.
The flying carriage traveled for forty-five minutes. The clouds parted, and a huge platform appeared. The carriage descended. Daoist Ming Zhou led Yu Chang inside. They walked down the winding stairs. After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and said, "Liang Xuan Zun, Yu Xuanzun is right in front. Xuan Zun can go by yourself."
Liang Yi looked at the huge pillar in front of him. He expressed his gratitude and walked towards it. As he came, the huge pillar in front of him rose. He saw a Daoist imprisoned inside.
When he saw the figure of the Daoist, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He quickly walked up and bowed deeply, saying, "Disciple Liang Yi greets Master."
Yu Chang glanced at him a few times, a look of pleasant surprise in his eyes. After a while, he said in a gratified voice, "It's good that you didn't walk my path."
Liang Yi said, "I was able to succeed this time because of the help of my peers and predecessors."
"Oh?"
After Yu Chang asked about the situation, he smiled and said, "Disciple, there's no need to think too much about this. If you succeed, then you succeed. As long as it's the right path, it doesn't matter how you succeed. We cultivate the Dao to comprehend the Dao, and then we borrow the Dao to climb the Dao. Could it be that the Dao we cultivate is the Dao, but the Dao we borrow is not the Dao? If you insist on doing so, then you are just burdening yourself. The old path has already passed, so you should raise your head and look forward. "
Liang Yi pondered for a moment before bowing again. "Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Yu Chang shook his head and smiled. "You've already walked your own Dao, so I'm just saying it now. As for what happens in the future, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Liang Yi said, "Now that Xuanting has established Xuntian Dao Zhang outside, I can use this to communicate with many of my peers. With the help of this Dao chapter, I was able to get rid of the doubts in my heart, reorganize my cultivation, and enter the upper realm."
Yu Chang nodded. "I know a little about what happened outside, and I've also heard about Xuntian Dao Zhang. Hmm … What's your plan now?"
Liang Yi asked, "Master, please give me some pointers."
Yu Chang smiled and said, "Since you want me to say something, I'll say it for the time being. You can listen for the time being."
His expression became slightly more serious. "Remember, no matter what you do, you must try to protect yourself. My Xuan Fa seems to be flourishing, but it's still far from being stable. Now, above Xuanting, the only Xuanxiu who can support the situation is Feng Tingzhi.
But compared to the other court officials, whether it's cultivation or reputation, Feng Tingzhi is far inferior. Now, the only one who has the possibility of inheriting the position of court official in Xuan Zun is Zhang Shouzheng. But Zhang Shouzheng alone is not enough to support the entire Xuan Fa. He needs more help from his peers. You can go and see him first. Remember, if the situation is not good, don't give up easily. "
Liang Yi nodded silently.
Yu Chang looked up and said, "Today's words will end here. You can go back first. When the war starts, I'll be released. I'll use the war to atone for my sins. At that time, you and I, master and disciple, will have a good talk."
In the sea of clouds, Lin Tingzhi was sitting on the Sky Observation Platform. The aura on his body was naturally long and deep, blending into one with the entire world.
At this moment, the Mokong Suspending Needle floating high in the sky swayed slightly. He felt something and opened his eyes, immediately looking up.
Although the suspending needle moved slightly, it was indeed swaying. Moreover, the swaying became more and more intense, and the area it affected became wider and wider. In his eyes, it was as if many layers of the world were shaking because of it.
His expression instantly became incomparably solemn. He sighed and said, "It's finally here." With a flash of clear light, his figure had already disappeared from the platform.
Above the sea of clouds, the sound of bells gradually rang out. The incarnations of the various court officials had all arrived at the meeting hall.
The Daoist sitting at the head said, "Just now, Lin Tingzhi reported that the Mokong Suspending Needle on the Sky Observation Platform is moving. Shangchen has already activated the Cymbidium Lucidum to summon Huanyang. Everyone, please act according to the plan."
The various court officials cupped their fists and said, "We will obey the decree."
At the same time, letters were sent from the upper level to the outer 28 constellations, the inner 13 upper continents, the four prefectures, and the Yujing.
Zhang Yu stood on the steps outside Shouzheng Palace with his sleeves behind his back, listening to the endless chimes from above the sea of clouds. His gaze was distant, and his sleeves would occasionally flutter in the wind.
At this moment, the clear chimes of bells drifted past, and flower petals fell one after another. A flying carriage arrived and landed on the platform in front of the hall. Liang Yi walked down from it, walked up the steps, and arrived on the platform. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Zhang Shouzheng, Liang Yi has come to pay his respects."
Zhang Yu bowed back and said, "Liang Daoyou has reached the upper realm. Congratulations."
At this moment, Liang Yi also looked at the sea of clouds and asked, "Shouzheng, what is that sound?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Shangchen has started to recruit Huanyang school."
Liang Yi's expression froze.
Zhang Yu said, "Liang Daoyou, please come in and talk."
He invited Liang Yi into the hall. After they sat down, a deity served them spiritual tea.
Liang Yi said, "Before I came here, I went to see teacher. Teacher told me to come and see Zhang Shouzheng first."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Liang Daoyou has just achieved the Xuan Zun. You should first stabilize your cultivation and familiarize yourself with various matters. Then, you can think about other things. The battle with Shangchen and Huanyang is not like the previous battles between sects. The two sides will not go all out at the beginning of the battle. You can wait patiently. There will be a time for you to show your skills."
In the pavilion, Daoist Zhengqing had already received a letter from the Xuanting. It was to go to Shangchen as soon as possible to attack. He came out from his place of meditation and went to Wei Yi's residence. He found him and asked, "Shidi, how are your preparations?"
Wei Yi stood up and said, "I have been waiting for a long time to set off."
At this moment, the two of them looked outside and saw a clear light coming from outside. Mei Shang appeared from inside. He walked closer and bowed to Wei Yi. He said, "Da Shixiong." Then, he bowed to Wei Yi. "Wei Shixiong."
Wei Yi frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
Mei Shang said, "I am willing to go with you two Shixiong."
Wei Yi, however, revealed a look of disdain. He waved his sleeve and said, "You have not achieved the Vestigial Fruit. If you go, won't you be courting death? If you don't have it, you will be a burden to us. It is better for you to wait here. "
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Mei Shidi, it is better for you to stay. Wei Shixiong is right. You have not achieved the Vestigial Fruit. Yuandu Xuantu is near Cymbidium Lucidum and cannot bring too many people at once. If you encounter danger, it will be very difficult for you to escape."
Mei Shang did not have a stubborn personality. Zhengqing and Wei Yi did not agree. He could only lower his head and said, "Yes."
Daoist Zhengqing looked at the distant void and said, "Wei Shixiong, Xuanting is urging us. Let us depart now. We still have a long way to go."
Wei Yi snorted. He turned around and said to Mei Shang, "Don't die. Your life is small, but it is big if you embarrass our sect."
Mei Shang was stunned. He then said seriously, "Yes, Shixiong."
Zhengqing and Wei Yi both looked into the distance. In the next moment, two clear lights rose from the big platform. After a moment of flickering, the two disappeared together.
Mei Shang, on the other hand, silently bowed to the sky above the sea of clouds.
Shangchen, above the Orchid Plain. The sun set and the sunset glow spread for thousands of miles. After Daoist Feng finished his lecture, he stood up. A youth suddenly asked, "Daoist, are you still coming tomorrow?"
Daoist Feng looked at the sky and shook his head.
The youth was a little disappointed. He then smiled and said, "We will wait for Daoist's return."
Daoist Feng looked at him and nodded. He seemed to promise, "I will be back." He walked away. Not long after, he returned to his residence.
Daoist Hun Kong was standing in front of the palace door. He seemed to be waiting for him. Seeing that he had returned, he said in a low voice, "Feng Tingzhi, are you going back to Tianxia?"
Daoist Feng said, "I am here as an envoy to mediate the dispute between the two sects. Since you insist on doing things your own way, why should I stay here?"
As an envoy, although he was restrained in this area, the changes in Shangchen could not be hidden from him. Moreover, Xuanting also informed him through Xuntian Dao Zhang that the Mokong Hanging Needle had been moved. He was asked to return on a date.
He took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Daoist Hun Kong, please pass this letter to the three Supreme Venerables."
It was a letter that Xuanting entrusted to him before he left. He instructed him to pass this letter to Guyang and the other two Supreme Venerables when he arrived in Shangchen to summon the Huanyang school.
Daoist Hun Kong took it and said, "I will send this to the three Supreme Venerables. However, there is no news from Envoy Lu yet. Please stay for two more days, Feng Tingzhi."
Daoist Feng nodded silently.
Daoist Hun Kong kept the letter. He turned around and left the place. He came to the Towering Sky Plateau. He could see three light wheels in the Rainbow Palace in the distance. Boundless light shone towards the endless void.
Looking further, he could see more Xuan Zun's Qi rising into the sky. It gathered into a boundless light screen.
An incomparably huge verdant branch extended from one end of the void to the other end. There were countless branches growing out from it, and there were more branches on top of the branches. It continued to grow until there was no end to it. Following the emergence of these branches, the layers of space were drawn out one after another.
He knew that once the branches found the location of the Huanyang school, they could use this branch to connect the two sides. They could use this to draw the sect back.
However, the Huanyang school was banished far away. Moreover, there was no guarantee that the Huanyang school was still in its original location. Therefore, it would take some time to find it.
He retracted his gaze and flew towards the Rainbow Hall in a streak of light.
