The flying boat broke into the Sky Domain and did not encounter any obstacles.
Daoist Zhengqing and Wei Yi were not surprised by this. Even the main Sky Domain of Shangchen might not be able to set up a Forbidden Formation that covered the entire Sky Domain, let alone the subordinate Sky Domains.
In fact, even if there was a Forbidden Formation, they did not have to worry too much. With Yuandu Xuantu as their backup, they could escape in the face of danger.
Moreover, with Daoist Zhengqing here, an ordinary Xuan Zun would not be able to do anything to him unless Guyang and the other two came out to fight him. If the three of them really came out to kill them, then they would have achieved their goal.
Not long after, a floating mountain platform appeared in front of them. Its edge was flat and wide, as if it was cut by a knife. Water flowed down from the edge of the platform, and the platform itself was surrounded by auspicious clouds and auspicious lights.
Wei Zheng gazed ahead, preparing for the upcoming battle. However, he discovered that although there were pavilions, terraces, and buildings on this mountain platform, and water flowed continuously, it was empty, as if there were no signs of life at all.
The flying boat quickly arrived at the top of the mountain platform. Even here, there was no Forbidden Formation, and no one came to stop them. Not to mention a figure, there was not even a Lingdu below.
Wei Yi asked, "Did they leave?"
Daoist Zhengqing looked into the distance and said, "Let's go to the next place."
The flying boat turned around and went to another place.
They found three floating mountain platforms, but there was no sign of life on any of them. Without a doubt, the cultivators here had given up on the people of the subordinate Sky Domain. Everyone had retreated.
Wei Yi asked doubtfully, "Could it be that all these people have retreated to the main Sky Domain?"
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Impossible. The main Sky Domain of Shangchen is not a place where these subordinate sects can stay for long. This has always been the rule of Shangchen. Besides, to attract the Huanyang school, most of the power of the Cymbidium Lucidum has to be mobilized. How can the people of Shanghai be at ease to let outsiders stay in their own domain?"
He did not say one more thing. The Xuanting must have spies in Shangchen, and most of them were in the subordinate sects. If these people also stayed in the main Sky Domain, it was very likely that this place would be exposed. How could Shangchen take this risk? They would definitely put an end to this matter from the source...
Wei Zheng said, "So you're saying that these people have moved to another place to hide?"
Daoist Zheng Qing said, "That should be the case."
Wei Yi said, "This is troublesome.. . "These subordinate sects of the Cymbidium Lucidum had countless Sky Domains. It would not be easy to find them one by one.
Daoist Zhengqing said, "No need to complain. Just do it well."
Wei Yi looked at the sky and said, "Senior Brother, it would be great if we can find the main Sky Domain directly from these subordinate Sky Domains."
Daoist Zhengqing said, "The Cymbidium Lucidum can cross the Sky Domain. The master and subordinate relationship cannot be reversed. It is impossible to go against the flow. Even if we find the main Sky Domain, it can break the branches and break the sky at any time, causing the people searching for it to fall into an unknown place. However, it is not that there is no one searching for the main Sky Domain. It is just that this matter has not been handed over to us."
Wei Yi sneered and said, "Xuanting still does not trust us."
Daoist Zhengqing did not want to talk about this matter. With a flick of his finger, a paper talisman was sent into this space. After it dissipated into the Sky Domain, he said, "Since there is no one here, it is useless to stay any longer. Let us leave as soon as possible."
At this time, there was more than one magic tool flying ship floating in the Sky Domain. These were the people sent by Xuanting to find the main Sky Domain in Shangchen. Except for a few Xuan Zun who were cultivating in seclusion, most of them were the Xuan Zun who were once imprisoned. They usually worked in groups of two to look after each other.
Yu Chang was sitting in the main cabin of one of the flying ships. He was working with a young cultivator who was chattering non-stop. This cultivator seemed to have been imprisoned for too long, so he could not help but want to talk about something.
Yu Chang, on the other hand, wasn't impatient at all. He had been listening with a calm expression, and no one could tell that he was being perfunctory.
Daoist Shi suddenly stopped talking and said, "Daoist Yu, you have a good temper. You are not like Xuanxiu at all."
Yu Chang asked in return, "Then, in Daoist Shi's opinion, what should Xuanxiu be like?"
Daoist Shi could not help but laugh. He clapped his hands and said, "As expected, only when Xuanxiu is mentioned will you care about others." He sighed with emotion, "But, Xuanxiu has its own strengths now. Xuntian Dao Zhang can collude with Xuanting at any time. Xuanting will definitely use you guys."
Yu Chang said, "Xuan Dao is also Dao Dao. Why do you have to make such a clear distinction?"
Daoist Shi saw that Yu Chang was willing to talk to him, so he became energetic and said, "I think it's quite good, but some people don't think so. You don't know, after I came out of the prison, I heard a piece of news. There are people who want to establish a sect to train the Heavenly Dao … Hmm?"
He seemed to have sensed something and stopped talking. He turned his head and looked outside.
In the distance, there was a huge green branch. Branches and leaves could be seen on it. Because it was a very thick branch and looked like it had been trimmed, at first glance, it looked like an earth star floating in the void.
Yu Chang said, "Cymbidium Lucidum?" He frowned again. "That's not right."
Daoist Shi took a few glances and said, "Indeed, it's not." Then, he said decisively, "But this thing is definitely related to Shangchen!"
Yu Chang thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "We'll know what it is when we get there."
Dongting Prefecture, An Province Tenki-in Hall.
This Tenki-in Hall was built together with An Province. Although it had only been a year since the master craftsmen were stationed there, it benefited from the support of a group of master craftsmen from Qingyang Upper Continent. An Xiao Langjun also specially asked his teacher, Master Craftsman Guo, for help from Yujing.
The two places where Tianxia had the highest level of craftsmanship were Qingyang Upper Continent and Yujing. This caused the Dongting Prefecture Tenki-in Hall to be far ahead of the other Upper Continents and Prefectures once it was built.
In fact, the most important factor here was that Zhang Yu, the Head Xuan of Dongting Xuanfu, not only did he not reject the idea of craftsmanship, he even supported it.
Although the Dongting Tenki-in Hall didn't have enough manpower to operate, it had an abundance of all kinds of craftsmanship materials. In particular, Dongting owned Fuzhou, so many precious pills could be freely supplied here.
Whether it was master craftsmen or master craftsmen, even if they wore divine robes, they couldn't activate their spiritual power, so they could only extend their lifespan by a little. However, with the help of these pills, they could always maintain a good mental and physical state. With this condition, many master craftsmen and master craftsmen came here to recuperate and study their skills.
An Xiao Langjun was among these master craftsmen. Although he was young, he had many wonderful ideas.
Some people had been master craftsmen their whole lives, but they could only do repetitive work. However, some people could innovate on the basis of their predecessors.
An Xiao Langjun had the talent to realize these ideas, which was even more amazing.
At this moment, in the depths of the Tianji Workshop, An Xiao Langjun was wearing an extremely thick protective divine robe. He also wore a pair of protective goggles that covered most of his face. Beside him were two master craftsmen, one male and one female. The three of them stepped on a floating board and sank down.
They were under the Tenki-in Hall, surrounded by thick walls and cold silver-white metal plates. Every time they went down a certain distance, there would be a one zhang thick metal door that would open on both sides. At the same time, light would be released. Every time they moved, only the sound of empty air could be heard. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
After passing through 52 doors, they felt a boom under their feet. They finally reached the bottom of the floating board, and a circular passage appeared in front of them. It looked just as thick and solid.
The three of them walked along this path for two li and came to the end. An Xiaolang took off a necklace from his neck and picked up a piece of jade from the necklace. He placed it into the groove on the wall. Immediately, the wall lit up. Lines of patterns appeared on the surface of the wall, slowly but firmly extending to the surroundings.
An Xiao Langjun muttered, "We have to wait for so long every time."
The female artisan hurriedly said, "Master An, please forgive us. This is a necessary safety measure."
An Xiao Langjun said, "I know." However, he felt that wasting so much time every time he came here was enough for him to create more things.
After waiting for a full half an hour, the light above reached the end. Then, the door opened on both sides, revealing the cabin inside.
However, this was not the end. The three of them followed the spiral ramp for another hundred zhang before reaching their destination. After passing through a flickering door, they entered an extremely spacious warehouse.
In the middle of this place, there was a metal platform that was about ten feet tall. On top of it, there was a ball of light that flickered with white light. The dazzling light illuminated the people and objects around it, making it difficult for people to look directly at it. Dust that looked like snowflakes drifted down from above and landed on the platform below. Very quickly, they were extinguished and turned into flowing streams of light.
An Xiao Langjun said through his goggles, "This is it." He was about to step forward but was stopped by the artisan. "Master An, let me do it."
An Xiao Langjun muttered, "Don't underestimate me. My hands are also very stable." Although he said so, he knew that although his knowledge of creation was better than this artisan, there was still a gap in actual operation. This artisan's thirty years of experience was not something he could compare to now.
The artisan gave him a gentle smile and walked forward. Then, his expression became serious. He first made the necessary preparations and checked the surroundings. Then, he took out a golden loop about the size of a cup. In his other hand, he held a small glass tube and placed it under the loop. Then, he steadily and slowly extended the two items towards the white light.
The white light flickered slightly, but there was no other movement. Only the snowflake-like dust seemed to be attracted. Suddenly, a part of it floated into the loop and finally fell into the glass tube.
An Xiao Langjun and the female artisan both looked at him with a bit of nervousness.
The artisan was incomparably focused at this moment. His hands didn't move at all. When the glass tube was a third full, he stood up and slowly retreated, walking down from the platform. After sealing the glass tube, he let out a long sigh of relief. His expression relaxed. He turned around and said with a smile, "Master An, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."
An Xiao Langjun impatiently walked forward. However, he didn't reach out his hand. He only looked at the snowflake-like dust floating in the air. His eyes lit up as he said, "This is great. I'll bring it to teacher right now. This time, it will definitely give teacher a pleasant surprise."
