While Zhang Yu was cultivating in the palace, attaching his divine Qi, Daoist Ming Zhou suddenly arrived, saying that Wei Tingzhi invited him to identify an item.
He came out of the palace and followed Daoist Ming Zhou to a cloud platform. Wei Tingzhi was there, and there was a huge branch on the sea of clouds in front of him.
He could tell at a glance that this was a part of the Ipar Divine Tree. He retracted his gaze, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Wei Tingzhi."
Wei Tingzhi returned the greeting and said, "Zhang Shouzheng greets you. I've troubled Shouzheng to come here to ask Shouzheng if this is the EsGod from Dong Ting."
He took out the statue from his sleeve and showed it to him.
Zhang Yu took it and looked at it. Although the statue had shrunk a lot, it was the same as the original. He could feel that the divine power inside was no different from the Ipar he had come into contact with. He handed it back and said, "It is this EsGod."
Wei Tingzhi nodded and took it back. He said, "Shouzheng said that these EsGods had once clung to a divine tree that connected the inner and outer layers. After the epoch, the divine tree collapsed, and a part of it was scattered in the outer layers. Now, it seems like this is the case. However, it seems like this divine tree was used by Shangchen. According to what Shouzheng said, there should be more than one EsGod in the outer layers, and there should be many of them scattered outside?"
Zhang Yu said, "That should be the case."
Wei Tingzhi said, "This time, it was Brother Shi and Brother Yu who encountered an EsGod. An EsGod alone is actually not that scary, but if they gather together, it is very likely that they will become a threat to the Mystique Venerables and even the constellations in the outer regions that I have sent out. Thus, I would like to request Zhang Shouzheng to patrol and eliminate this person."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It is Shouzheng's duty to fight against foreign enemies. Let the Emperor deal with this matter."
Wei Tingzhi smiled and said, "Shouzheng can take care of the loot himself." After he finished speaking, he put away the statue, bowed, and left the place.
Zhang Yu stood alone on the cloud platform. He looked at the branch floating above the sea of clouds. Although a portion of its vitality was gone, there was still a lot left inside.
After looking at it for a while, a divine light shot out from between his eyebrows and shone on the branch. In an instant, all the vitality in this place was taken back into the divine treasury of the divine tree. When the divine light disappeared, the branch also turned into a pile of ashes.
He looked towards the outer layer. He had originally planned to head there to search for the remaining parts of the divine tree. Now, it was just the right time.
He silently called out in his heart, and a stream of light flew into his sleeve. After waiting for a while, a spiritual boat appeared in front of him.
This was the Star Boat that Lin Tingzhi gave him last time. With this item, it would be easier for him to search for the divine tree crowns scattered in the Void.
With a thought, he came to the body of the boat. With a thought, an arched Star Path appeared in front of him, and at the same time, a lot of traction forces came over.
He silently sensed the nearest place of resonance and adjusted the Star Path. In an instant, it seemed that countless stars were flowing in front of him. In just a moment, he had already appeared in an unfamiliar Void. In front of him was a branch that was as big as a star. The fracture was uneven, and at this moment, there was a divine statue standing on it.
Unlike the divine statue that Yu Chang and Daoist Shi encountered before, which was still in a deep sleep, this divine statue had already come to life. It held a wooden pestle in its hand, and used the huge branch as a boat and the wooden pestle as a paddle. It was cruising in the Void.
When he discovered the divine statue, the divine statue also saw the flying boat, and a flame-like divine light swayed all over its body.
Zhang Yu looked at the divine statue indifferently. He sat still in the flying boat, and in his heart, a sword light flashed. It flew out from the flying boat and slashed towards the statue.
The divine statue let out a silent roar and raised its large pestle in an attempt to block the attack. However, the flying sword was too fast. Before it could do that, it had already slashed its body. Suddenly, a burst of light burst out.
When the light dissipated, the divine general still maintained his original posture. However, after a while, dense cracks appeared on his body, and he collapsed into countless pieces. Even the light of divinity on his body shattered, and then dimmed until it was completely extinguished.
Zhang Yu's current strength had increased by leaps and bounds compared to the time when he was fighting against the Iparr Shrine. Moreover, this time, he was only facing an ordinary Iparr God, who was killed with a single strike of his sword.
He turned to look at the branch. The divine light between his eyebrows shone, and all of its vitality was absorbed. The body of the branch immediately collapsed and scattered, leaving behind countless pieces.
During the whole process, he didn't even get out of the flying boat. He didn't even stand up from his seat. At this moment, he steered the Star Boat and searched for the next place.
Two days later, in the Eastern Xuanfu.
Zhang Yu's incarnation stood on the Star Platform and looked at the divine tree in front of him. As the vitality continued to flow in, the branches of the divine tree became stronger. The branches and leaves of the tree crown were like a vast sea, continuously extending outwards, almost enveloping the entire An Province. It already had some of the aura of the Great Cyan Banyan of the Qingyang Upper Continent.
At this moment, he looked into the distance and thought about the proposals of the two prefectures. With a thought, two branches separated from the main trunk and floated away with the wind, landing somewhere outside An Province. They quickly took root and grew into two towering trees in just a few breaths.
An Province was almost stable as the Eastern Prefecture, but the endless forest to the west of Mount An still had great value. It was a virgin land that had not been cultivated. There were abnormally many cannibals and non-humans stationed in the forest, and EsGods were also emerging endlessly.
Although the Tabor Godhead, who should have come from the outside in this era, was blocked in the outer layer, and only a few of them were still in the inner layer, the EsGods that were once prosperous in the last era were now showing signs of rising again.
Taking the Eastern Prefecture as an example, these people used the dense forest as a cover and constantly tried to invade the Eastern Prefecture. They also tried to turn a large number of people and natives in the prefecture into their believers. Although it was useless under the protection of the Forbidden Array, they couldn't just ignore it. This was because there would always be some people who would try to obtain the so-called power bestowed by the gods.
Moreover, he didn't forget that although the Gods Recovery Society had disappeared under the continuous suppression of the Eastern Prefecture, it hadn't truly disappeared. Therefore, he planned to set up a military base outside the prefecture as a shield. He would first plant two divine trees, and then build a stronghold around it.
Shangchen, Rainbow Hall.
Daoist Ying Chong was standing in the hall with his sleeves behind his back. He was looking at a picture on the wall of the hall. It was a picture of an emerald green branch. There were thirteen branches on the branch, but now, two of them had turned gray.
This meant that two Heavenly Dipper Divine Generals had already been destroyed. Although he knew that these things couldn't stop Tianxia, he did not want to see two of them being destroyed in just a few days. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to stop Tianxia at all.
In fact, other than these, he did have more than one bargaining chip in his hand. However, he had originally planned to use these in the subsequent confrontation, so it was not appropriate to use them too early.
Important chess pieces had to be used carefully. If he used them now, it would be difficult to deal with if there were any changes in the situation.
However, when this thought flashed through his mind, he was surprised to find that the picture had changed again. Another branch had turned from its original green color to a grayish-white color.
He could not help but frown. Logically speaking, these Heavenly Dipper Divine Generals were scattered in the void, and no one knew where each of them landed. However, they had been destroyed so quickly. This should not be a coincidence, but rather a targeted attack. Perhaps Xuanting had a way to find the location of these Divine Generals.
Considering that the branches that provided cover for these EsGods grew in the inner layer, then perhaps Xuanting also had a part of it. It was not impossible for this part to find the remnants of the outer layer.
He paced back and forth in the hall. If this was really the case, then he had to change his strategy as soon as possible. He could either give up on these Heavenly Dipper Generals and decisively throw out another chess piece, or find a way to salvage the situation.
Generally speaking, it was not a good idea to directly salvage the situation. Then, he would have to deal with it passively. The best plan was to attack the enemy's weakness or create another situation.
However, the problem was that the current Tianxia had no openings. Xuan Zun was patrolling in a team of two. They could have attacked here, but this person had Yuandu Xuantu behind him. Even if they could defeat him, they would only be able to force him to retreat temporarily without suffering any losses. They could come again next time. This was an almost unsolvable problem.
There were twenty-eight constellations in the outer layer, and every constellation was guarded by Xuan Zun's incarnation. There were also restrictions to protect them, and Xuanting's support could be obtained at any time. If they could force their way in, then there was no need for them to attract the attention of Huanyang school.
Thus, after thinking about it, they could only fight offense with offense. They had to stop the enemies who were clearing out the Heavenly Dipper Generals, or at least force them back. This was the only way to salvage the situation.
After making up his mind, he did not hesitate and directly went to the side hall. There was a four-armed Daoist statue here. It held a five-colored wheel in one hand and a sun and moon disc in the other. The two hands behind its back were forming hand seals. It wore a golden crown on its head and a silk robe. Auspicious clouds surrounded its body, and it looked proud and arrogant as it looked around.
This was the true Heavenly Dipper Divine General.
He usually had a backup plan when doing things, and he would make use of the conditions that he could use to the greatest extent.
When he first discovered those EsGods, not only did he try to refine them into Guardian Generals, but he also tried to guide their thoughts in an attempt to create a god among gods.
As he did not have enough time to nurture them, this god among gods was not complete yet. It had not reached the true expectations in his heart, but it could still be used.
He took out a talisman from his sleeve, chanted a few words, and threw it forward. A cold light landed between the Divine General's eyebrows. At the same time, he said, "Heavenly Dipper Protector Cheng Chao, listen to my orders. I order you to quickly retreat to the outside and expel the invaders."
The Divine General's eyes narrowed. His body moved, and he directly walked down from the divine throne. He came in front of Cheng Chao, half-knelt, and cupped his fists. He said, "Cheng Chao understands." With that, a fierce evil wind swept up in the hall, and he directly flew out of the hall and into the sky.
