In the Dao Palace, the flickering and bright sword light shone out from the inside, illuminating the sky for a while, illuminating the clouds in the sky at the same time, until a few breaths later, it gradually faded away.

On the tenth day after the second sword light was refined, Zhang Yu also refined the third sword light.

At this moment, there were three sword shadows reflected in his mind, which was originally like an underwater sword, separated by a layer, blurred and swaying, but as his mind watched and wiped, it was becoming more and more clear and condensed at this moment.

In the end, with the slight light on the shadow of the sword, it flashed on the ground, and they all leaped out of their minds, connecting heads and tails, and returning into a circle, flying around there, but they couldn't tell which one was the real sword and which one was the splitting shadow.

Actually, it's not that big of a difference here.

The two sword weapons can now be regarded as a part of his body, that is, they are damaged, as long as he is still there, then he can turn out in a single thought, and the same is true of those differentiated sword lights.

However, he could perceive that there was still a slight lag between the operation of the sword light here, and if he encountered a real opponent, then this line of lag might miss the fighter, and it could also become an opportunity for the opponent to counterattack, so at this point, he still needed to find ways to strengthen it.

He called in his heart, called out the Great Dao Hun Chapter, and saw that there was another "Sword Tong" seal on it, and he crossed the Shenyuan into it, and this seal gradually had a bright light born, and then a light shone on his body.

When the light faded, he felt that the slightest obstacle had gone, and the sword light had become mellow and free, and at this moment, the three sword lights merged with the cicada sword in an instant, and gathered into a sword weapon.

He reached out and grabbed it, grabbed it in his hand, and slashed forward gently, a sword light slashed through the Dao Palace in an instant, spreading towards the far distance, and a crack appeared in the sky.

The next moment, the Dao Palace reunited under his consciousness, and the traces of the sky disappeared without a trace as if they had been erased.

He raised two fingers and stroked the spine of the sword, and there was a burst of light there, and he nodded slightly, and put down the cicada sword.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a melodious chime bell in the distance, and his thoughts turned, today is the middle of September, and he thinks that another court meeting has begun.

At the same time, in the depths of the sea of clouds in the clear sky, the long river of phosgene spread here, and the figures of the Xuanting court officials also appeared here one after another.

Zhenxiu surrendered to the government, and they were Wu Tingxu, Zhong Weiwu, Yusu, Zhu Yisheng, and Changsun Qian.

On the Hun Zhang monk's side, it was Chen Yu, Wei Liang, Chao Huan, and Dai Gonghan who came to the court. Coupled with the Xuanfeng Dao people, a total of eleven court officials came to this court meeting.

The first Taoist waited for everyone to sit down, and when the chime fell, he said according to the usual words: "Do you have a proposal?"

Zhong Daoren picked up the jade mallet in front of the case, knocked on the jade chime, stood up and saluted the first Taoist, and said: "The first deacon, all the court deacons, Zhong has a proposal." ”

The first Taoist said: "Zhong Ting's insistence is pleading." ”

Zhong Daodao: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now the 382nd year of the Great Xuan Calendar, and I think that after I came to this life in Tianxia, I have had several twists and turns, and after several wars, I have to establish the foundation of a thirteen continents, and beyond the thirteen continents, there are 800 Protectorate Stars scattered on the land and earth, which is not only a screen protection, but also for the expansion of the land, and more to supervise everywhere, and pass on the responsibility of my Tianxia rites and music."

It was just a turbid tide 80 years ago, but it caused most of our population and territory to be scattered, all continents were hit hard, and the Metropolitan Protectorate was also lost by seven or eight.

Now, after decades of recuperation and recuperation, improving people's livelihood, my old view of Tianxia is gradually reverting, Zhong thinks that the system of protecting the government in the past should be reconsidered!"

As soon as he said this, there was silence on the long river, and the first Taoist sat there without saying a word, and all the court officials present were in thought.

"Reconsider the system of the Metropolitan Protectorate?"

Wei Tingzhi shook his head and said, "If you want to restore the Eight Hundred Protectorates, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be used here, and the cost is too great, and a few big people in the Imperial Mansion will definitely oppose it." ”

Generally speaking, when it comes to the affairs of the Tianxia world, in addition to setting the general direction, the Xuanting mainly lets go and let the states of the Nether govern themselves.

But sometimes, the opinions of the Xuanting and Yujing dynasties may not be consistent, and this requires communication with each other, and Wei Tingzhi is the court executive in charge of this matter.

If it is a practical and reasonable advice, he will take it to the court for discussion, and the Xuan Court will generally listen to and adopt it carefully, and will not forcibly promote it.

Therefore, such as the internal situation of Xia Zhuzhou today, he knows better than any of the court governors here.

When Tianxia arrived, many prefectures were established, not only to survive, but also to protect the people, but also to spread rituals and music, of course, regardless of consumption, but now it is not possible.

Eight hundred capital protectors, but there are a lot of manpower and material resources involved behind it, and the Yujing Dynasty will definitely try its best to oppose it.

Zhong Daoren smiled and said: "Wei Tingzhi, what Zhong said is not to restore all the former capital protectors, this is also more radical, and when the turbidity tide hit, there was no one in the eight hundred capital protectorates, if there is another turbidity tide, no one knows how, so Zhong's intention is to expand the mansion in Zengzhou!"

Wei Tingzhi looked at him and said, "Zengzhou to expand the mansion?" He thought for a moment before he said, "I don't know what Zhong Tingzhi means?"

Zhong Dao said: "Now there are more than 100 capital protectorates on all sides of the thirteen continents, and most of these capital protectorates have been based on more than a hundred years, the foundation has been solidified, and the population is also a lot. ”

When Zhu Tingzhi heard this, his expression was subtle, and no one spoke for a while.

Zhong Daoren glanced at everyone at this time, and raised his voice slightly, "In fact, this move is also urgent. ”

He looked at Wu Tingru and said, "Wu Tingzhi, Zhong took the liberty to ask, can there be any results in interrogating Su Ji and Yan Qiying?"

Wu Qianxu said in a deep voice: "Wu Mou has already asked, and the two of them know very little, but Yan Qiying is indeed sheltered by the Qingling Heavenly Branch, so he was able to hide his figure. ”

Zhong Daoren made a joke and said, "Thank you Wu Tingzhi for informing me." ”

He looked at the cultivators on the seat again, and raised his voice: "Don't forget, don't forget, this time, Shangchen Tian and Youcheng infiltrated together, and even the Qingling Heavenly Branch, the weapon of the town and the Dao, was used, so that I had to use the Qingtian Astrolabe to search, if I were this generation, I would definitely make some moves in the future."

And this time, because of the unfavorable supervision of the inner layer, there was a loophole that allowed the outer monks to invade. But if there are a few more Xuanzun guarded capital palaces in all directions, and there are forbidden formations to control, although it may not be able to put an end to this matter, it will definitely be able to increase the fortification!"

Several court officials in the seat nodded unconsciously.

This is also reasonable, the Metropolitan Protectorate is not only the Metropolitan Protectorate itself, but with the Metropolitan Protectorate as the center, the outward outpost is arranged, and there is also the responsibility of surveying the land and arranging the formation and prohibition, so that the power of guarding and supervising the inner layer will undoubtedly be strengthened.

Seeing that Zhong Daoist no longer spoke, the first Daoist asked slowly, "What do you think of Zhong Tingzhi's words?"

Yusu Daoist picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime, and said first: "This matter is feasible, not only has the weather recovered from my summer, but my strength is better than before, so I will not defend it, but also the time to expand the land!"

Chen Tingzhi said: "Establish a little capital first, but you can also give it a try." I thought Zhong Tingzhi's words were feasible. ”

Wei Tingzhi pondered for a moment, picked up the jade mallet, and knocked on the jade chime.

And after him, the jade chime on the long river of phosgene sounded one after another, but this time no one objected and passed the proposal directly.

However, although the proposal has passed, how many protectorates should be added and expanded, and which ones are more appropriate, this is not something that can be decided in a moment, and it needs to be carefully considered and discussed, so it is the court that will continue to discuss this matter at the next court meeting.

However, after this court meeting, the news that the Xuanting was going to increase the continent and expand the government was spread from this, and due to the existence of the Xuntian Dao Chapter, this matter was quickly known to all parties.

And many of the Metropolitan Protectorates, which are far away from the Thirteen Continents, heard the news, and everyone from the people to the Metropolitan Prefecture was excited, if they could expand the Continent, everyone would know what it meant, and it would bring huge benefits to the entire Metropolitan Protectorate!

Almost as soon as the news was received, the various prefectures began to run for this matter, and some even sent envoys to Yujing, intending to strive for themselves to become the first batch of capitals to ascend to the continent.

Dongting Protectorate, Dongting Xuanfu.

After Xuanshou Xiang Chun learned of this, he thought for a while, and immediately summoned the Great Dao Xuanzhang to contact the Xuanfu peers who were scattered all over Tianxia at the moment.

After hooking up with everyone, he gave a general explanation of the matter, and said: "You fellow disciples, if my Eastern Court Protectorate can be promoted to the capital continent this time, then you fellow disciples should know how much benefit this place can bring to my Eastern Court Xuanfu and the Metropolitan Protectorate, and I need you to work together to promote this matter." ”

Xu Ying said loudly at this time: "Senior brother, can you please ask Zhang Shouzheng to help us too, in the end, Zhang Shouzheng also went out from the East Court." ”

Xiang Chun pondered for a while, compared to the Protectorate elsewhere, they have a Xuanzun here, and they are still Xuanting upright, which is indeed a great advantage that others can't compare, but......

But as the head of the Xuan, he knows that sometimes things can't just look at the surface, the higher the level, the more complicated the situation.

He said: "No need, if Shouzheng is willing to speak, then he must be able to speak, we don't need to trouble him,"

Fan Lan reminded: "But senior brother, no one speaks for us, after all, it is inappropriate. ”

Xiang Chun said in a deep voice: "I know that here in Xuanfu, I will hand over the book according to the regulations, in order to show the urgency of my generation, I still need the pen of your fellow disciples." ”

Everyone responded.

Xiang Chun said again: "Senior Brother Fan, I want you to go to Qingyang Xuanfu to meet Yun Xuanshou on my behalf, hoping that he can support my Eastern Court in this matter." ”

Fan Lan solemnly responded.

Xiang Chun said: "I will personally visit the Metropolitan Governor later, Yang Weiwei is now studying in Yujing, she is not only the sister of the Metropolitan Governor, but also a student of the upright, I heard that I have also met a lot of children of the powerful in Yujing, at this moment it is convenient to come forward to fight for my capital to protect this matter." ”
