Half a month had passed since Zhang Yu and the others had returned from the battle in the Qian Domain. The chimes of the bells rang above the sea of clouds, and the incarnations of the Court Enforcers gathered in the meeting hall.
After discussing some trivial matters, the Daoist leader said, "Zhang Shouzheng submitted a letter a month ago. He said that during the previous battle in the Qian Domain, he was unable to kill his opponent because his opponent was shielded by the Cymbidium Lucidum. In his letter, he said that if he had received the support of the Dao Suppressing Artifact, the outcome might have been different."
He looked at the seated Court Enforcers. "Therefore, Zhang Shouzheng mentioned that if he were to head to Shangchen's Qian Domain in the future, he might encounter a powerful enemy. He hopes to receive the support of the Dao Suppressing Artifact. What are the opinions of the Court Enforcers?"
Regarding the previous battle, the Court Enforcers were aware of the general situation. They were also very surprised that Zhang Yu was able to fight back and forth with the old dragon, Jiao Yao. In the end, he was able to force the old dragon to retreat.
Furthermore, from what happened, the old dragon should have taken the initiative to retreat before Chen Tingzhi's arrival. This meant that he was not scared away by Chen Tingzhi. Therefore, they felt that Zhang Yu's words of "if he had received the support of the Dao Suppressing Artifact, the outcome might have been different" were not exaggerated.
Chen Tingzhi said in a low voice, "According to the rules, those who are not Court Enforcers are not allowed to control the Qi of the Clear Sky. However, this is only a rule. Now that the two sides are at war, Shangchen can use the Cymbidium Lucidum for their subordinates to use. Why should I, Tianxia, hold back and abide by the old rules? This suggestion can be considered. "
Daoist Yu Su said, "That makes sense. The situation is different now. Since the Court Enforcers are required to do something, and they are not providing sufficient support, how can the cultivators below them do it?
There are some dangers that can be overcome, but there are some dangers that exceed the ability of cultivators themselves. When facing an enemy, my enemy has utilized a Dao Guarding Treasure, yet I don't have any support. So, let me ask all of you here, how many of you would be able to go against my enemy? "
Dai Tingzhi said, "Zhang Shouzheng's battle is indeed a pity. If he had the help of the Clear Sky Qi at that time, even if he couldn't take down that old dragon Jiao Yao, he could have delayed until Chen Tingzhi arrived. At that time, he could have been forced to swear an oath to become my Tianxia's helper."
A few of the court enforcers felt that it was a pity. Jiao Yao wasn't someone who would fight to the bitter end. If things were really as Dai Gonghan said, this matter could really be realized.
Taoist Feng thought for a while and said, "After Zhang Shouzheng entered the upper echelon, he has made a lot of contributions. If he can be promoted as the court administrator, then there is no need to change the rules. He can rightfully take the Clear Sky Qi."
Chong Tingzhi immediately objected, "No, we can't make an exception!" He said, "Everyone, if there is a need to give him the Clear Sky Qi, that can be done. However, the position of court administrator is related to the foundation of Tianxia. We can't arbitrarily promote him. Otherwise, all the rules will be ruined."
Taoist Feng didn't insist. He didn't really want Zhang Yu to be the court administrator. Instead, he wanted to use a middle ground strategy so that this discussion could pass smoothly.
Lin Tingzhi looked at his seat and said, "Head Enforcer, Chong Tingzhi's words are reasonable. All the court enforcers have to guard their respective areas first and then work hard to be promoted. Zhang Shouzheng has made a lot of contributions, but we can't use Shouzheng's achievements to replace the merits of guarding."
Chao Huan said, "Then let's make an exception. Don't Shouzheng's merits count as merits? This isn't a bad idea. "
Chong Tingzhi said, "Chao Tingzhi, how can we generalize? Shouzheng's merits will be rewarded with Xuan rations. He shouldn't be counted as merits. Shouzheng is just an employee. If we want to talk about Zhang Shouzheng's merits, we still need to count the merits of guarding the East Court Prefecture. The two can't be confused. "
Chao Huan's brows couldn't help but raise when he saw him arguing with him. He lightly slapped the table and sat up straight. He was just about to say something when the head Daoist spoke first at this moment. "There's no need to argue about this matter. Since all of you think that the Clear Sky Qi can be used to cross over, then it's decided."
Wei Tingzhi said, "Head Enforcer, the Clear Sky Qi is important after all. It can't be spread out for a long time. I suggest that those who haven't made great contributions and don't have a position should not use it. After the battle, they should take back their authority."
The head Taoist said, "We can discuss this in detail later." He looked at Lin Tingzhi, "Lin Tingzhi, you said before that you have a memorial. You can present it now."
Lin Tingzhi said, "Recently, I've been observing the Heaven Seeking Platform. I saw that the suspending needle was spinning faster and faster. I also searched for the traces of the newly appeared Heaven Domain and found that most of them were heading towards a certain place in the void. I suspect that this person has already found the possible location of Huanyang school."
Dai Tingzhi thought for a moment and reminded, "But this could also be Shangchen's trick to divert my direction."
The court enforcers thought for a moment and felt that this wasn't impossible.
The head Taoist said, "Zhong Tingzhi, Chong Tingzhi, can the two of you make a prediction?"
Zhong Tingzhi said, "Head Enforcer, although there are fewer people in Shangchen obstructing me now, when it comes to Cymbidium Lucidum, I don't dare to say that I can definitely spy on it. But I'm willing to give it a try."
Chen Tingzhi said, "This matter can't be left to chance. Whether or not Shangchen is clear about the location of Huanyang school, we have to find a way to obstruct it. If Shangchen is looking for Huanyang school, it's impossible for them to not leave any traces behind. Both sides' auras are intertwined and will definitely leak into the void. This is also the best time to find its main Heaven Domain.
Daoist Yu Su said, "After the previous few confrontations, Ying Chong even asked Jiao Yao to take out the old dragon. This is enough to show that Shangchen has almost no power left to use. This is the time for me to use my strength."
Wei Tingzhi said, "It's best to cut off this person's search and get rid of the trouble before it happens. This way, we can prevent millions of people from being dragged into this battle."
After listening to everyone's opinions, the head Daoist said, "Then let's discuss the specific arrangements."
After Zhang Yu returned, he had been cultivating in the Shouzheng Palace. Half a month ago, Daoist Ming Zhou had already delivered the xuan rations bestowed to him from the last trip.
Originally, it was only to rescue the two Xuan Zun, so the xuan rations bestowed to him would not exceed one hundred clocks. But this time, because he encountered Shangchen's trap, and especially because he encountered the old dragon Jiao Yao, things were different.
This person was a cultivator who had plucked the cultivation fruit of the coexistence of reality and void. It was already not easy for Zhang Yu to be able to maintain a stalemate with him. But this time, before Chen Tingzhi's arrival, he had already forced this person to retreat. Moreover, he benefited from the Xuanting Palace's generous praise during the war, so he bestowed another three hundred clocks of xuan rations.
Since he had obtained a lot of xuan rations, he also took advantage of the time he still had to refine and cultivate with all his strength.
Just as he was sitting, a deity on duty outside the hall reported, "Shouzheng, Feng Ting Zhi has come to visit."
Zhang Yu came out from his meditation and said, "Wait for me to personally welcome him." He stood up and walked all the way to the outside of the hall. He greeted Daoist Feng in front of the hall and invited him in. After he sat down, he asked, "Why have you come, Daoist friend?"
Daoist Feng said, "There are some things that I need to tell you face to face. Daoist friend had previously asked for the Dao Guarding Weapon as assistance. Now, the court has already decided that if you need to use it in the future, as long as you request in advance, you can allocate a portion for Daoist friend to use. After the matter is over, it will be taken back. "
Zhang Yu nodded. This was good news. If he could obtain the support of the Clear Sky Qi, the next time he encountered a cultivator who had the protection of the Dao Guarding Weapon, he would have the power to fight.
Daoist Feng said, "When I returned to the court this time, I proposed that Daoist friend be appointed as a court administrator. However, it was rejected by the court, because in the end, you still need to guard the place. However, if you have made a great contribution, it is still possible to make an exception."
If Xuan Zun wanted to enter the court as a court administrator, he must first guard the continent. This rule was indeed very strict. Moreover, it was not completely based on the cultivator's achievements. Even if a cultivator had obtained the achievement of the coexistence of the real and the void, if he did not have enough guarding merits in the past, he would not be able to become a court administrator. At most, he would be given a position that matched his identity and some xuan rations.
As for the so-called great contribution, it was something that ordinary people could not do. It was greatly beneficial to Tianxia and could also convince the public.
Daoist Feng believed that in the past, Zhang Yu would not be able to make such contributions. However, with the help of the Clear Sky Qi, there was a glimmer of possibility.
However, after saying this, he advised Zhang Yu to be cautious. This was because even if Zhang Yu did not take the risk, with his current state and his past achievements, he would be able to become a court administrator after guarding for a few more decades. If there was no need, there was no need to take such extreme risks.
However, after that, he sent a secret message, "Zhang Shouzheng, the Clear Sky Qi not only can calm all things and disperse chaos, it also has its own benefits. However, if Daoist friend obtains it in the future, there is no harm in trying to comprehend it."
Zhang Yu's lower body moved slightly. He raised his sleeve and bowed, saying, "Thank you for telling me."
He understood Daoist Feng's meaning. The hidden meaning was for him to think of a way to delay for a while when he was using the Clear Sky Qi to do something. This way, he could have more time to comprehend it.
This was a reasonable use. However, his horizons were broader. Since he could obtain this item openly, why would he need to use these little tricks? Right now, the most important thing was to work together to defeat Shangchen. When he became a court administrator in the future, he would have plenty of time to comprehend it.
However, Daoist Feng had good intentions in the end. It was not out of selfishness, but because he was worried that Xuanxiu's power in the court was insufficient. Daoist Feng was not the only one who had such worries. Wan Ming, Liang Yi and the other newly achieved Xuan Zun also had such worries.
However, he believed that although this matter depended on him, it also did not depend on him. It was impossible to rely on him alone.
He had walked a path, and when more and more Xuan Fa Xuanxiu reached the upper realm, someone had to sit on this position. Even if it was not him, someone else would. This was a process of mutual achievement and mutual help.
After Daoist Feng explained all these, he stood up and took his leave. He personally sent Daoist Feng out of the hall, turned back, and continued to meditate.
In Shangchen, Ying Chong was arranging all the affairs by himself. At this moment, he was seizing the opportunity to move all the subordinate sects to other heavens to avoid Tianxia's attack.
At this moment, a talisman flew out from the hall. He took it in his hand and looked at it. Then, he left a clone here and went to the back of the hall.
In a flash, he arrived at the back of the hall and saw Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu sitting on the stage. Streams of Clear Sky Qi hung upside down like the Milky Way and fell on the three of them. He bowed and said, "Greetings to the three Supreme Venerables."
Daoist Tian Hong said, "Friend Ying, I called you here to tell you that we have found some traces. If our judgment is not wrong, we may be able to find the whereabouts of Huanyang school soon."
