Chapter 206: One Step Further

The cultivator of the Artifact Refining Hall was so disheartened that he immediately complained to Master Yuxu: "Master, you have heard this. This magical Taoist destroyed our mountain-protecting formation. He really deserves death!"

Without waiting for the leader to reply, Elder Dingyuan cursed: "Fuck your mother, the magical Taoist's mountain-protecting formation can crush your mountain-protecting formation, which means that his mountain-protecting formation is more powerful and more practical!"

The monk from the Weapon Refining Hall turned around and turned pale. Is this really the case? Although Patriarch Baimei's mountain-protecting formation was damaged, it couldn't be matched by the formation set up by the magical Taoist in three days, right?

Zhang Ye bowed his hands to Master Yuxu: "As promised before, this formation can withstand a powerful blow from the Three Tribulations. Master Master can try it."

Zhang Ye asked Elder Dingyuan for a middle-grade immortal stone. Elder Dingyuan was obviously in pain, but he still gave it to Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye placed it on the iron pillar of the main formation.

"Okay, let me give it a try!" Master Yuxu drew his sword and slashed at the barrier in the sky. The sword made waves, but the mountain-protecting formation did not break and was still tenacious.

The middle-grade immortal stone turned into powder. Master Yuxu saw this scene and laughed loudly: "Although it consumed a middle-grade immortal stone, it can withstand one of my sword strikes. This mountain-protecting formation is indeed amazing!"

Master Yuxu kept praising the magical Taoist without mentioning the broken Baimei Patriarch's mountain-protecting formation. The monks in the weapon refining hall were all disheartened, looking at the magical Taoist with particularly resentful eyes.

At this moment, a disciple came to report: "Report to the leader, I don't know what happened to the weapon refining hall, and it was shattered by a beam of light..."

Zhang Ye suddenly realized and said: "I forgot to mention that the Weapon Refining Hall is a good formation. I placed an formation pillar privately without the Weapon Refining Hall's consent. Please forgive me, Master."

The leader was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily: "It's okay, it's okay. We'll just rebuild it behind the weapon refining hall. This formation is really good."

The monks in the weapon refining hall had blood-red eyes and gnashed their teeth. Not only did they destroy the formation of Patriarch Baimei, they also demolished the weapon refining hall. Do you dare to say that the magical Taoist didn't do it on purpose?

But what if it was intentional? The head of the house said it was fine. How dare the people in the weapon refining hall trouble Taoist Miraculous? Don't dare.

Just like that, under the eyes of the monks in the Refining Hall, the magical Taoist received the reward and left gracefully.

"Elder Wang, I think if this continues, our Weapon Refining Hall may be disbanded." A monk from the Weapon Refining Hall murmured.

"Nonsense, as long as Patriarch Baimei is here, our Weapon Refining Hall will not be replaced!" An elder of the Weapon Refining Hall looked serious.

"But the key is that the ancestor Baimei is not here." The monk of the Weapon Refining Hall looked sad.

"It seems that the leader won't send anyone to rescue Patriarch Baimei for a while. We have to find a way on our own." The deacon elder of the weapon refining hall showed resoluteness.

…

Previously, when Taoist Miracle launched a rectification movement, everyone thought he was an incompetent person who only played political tricks. However, Zhang Ye rebuilt the Tiandao Palace Mountain Protection Formation within three days, and everyone was convinced.

On this day, Elder Dingyuan came to Zhang Ye: "Xiao Qi, do you want to go further?"

Zhang Ye definitely wanted to go further, but he thought it was Elder Dingyuan who was testing him, so he showed fear: "My subordinates just want to assist Elder Dingyuan, and have no intention of usurping him."

Taoist Miracle is now a deacon elder. If he goes further, he can only be a department elder. Unless elder Dingyuan takes the initiative to give up his position to Zhang Ye, it will be difficult to go further in a short time. Zhang Ye said this just because he didn't want Elder Dingyuan to know his ambition.

These words sounded very comfortable to Dingyuan's ears. No one wants to raise a white-eyed wolf, right? But he said: "I am not saying this to test you, so don't worry."

Zhang Ye thought to himself that he had misunderstood? Or is it that Elder Dingyuan has made arrangements? After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ye did not ask the reason, but said sincerely: "Everything will be arranged by Elder Dingyuan."

These words made Elder Dingyuan even more helpful. He stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then said: "If you want to go further, you can become a department elder. However, each hall in Tiandao Palace already has an elder in charge. I'm afraid there will be no elders in a short time." Your place, unless..."

Zhang Ye took it in one mouthful: "The Weapon Refining Hall?"

The Baimei Patriarch of the Weapon Refining Hall was imprisoned in the City Guards Mansion, and the Weapon Refining Hall was leaderless. If necessary, Zhang Ye could say hello to the City Guards Mansion, and it would not be a problem to lock him up for another year and a half.

Hearing Zhang Ye's words, Elder Dingyuan laughed loudly: "Don't think about the weapon refining hall. As long as Patriarch Baimei is not dead, no one can move that position."

Zhang Ye sighed, it turned out that he was still too naive, but if he didn't start from the Weapon Refining Hall, it would be impossible for other departments.

Elder Dingyuan gave up and then said slowly: "You must also know that the top floor of the Tiandao Palace is composed of three pavilions and five halls. The three pavilions are the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion, and the Sutra Pavilion. The five pavilions are the Law Enforcement Hall, The Weapon Refining Hall, the Pill Hall, the Internal Affairs Hall, and the Martial Arts Hall.”

"But thousands of years ago, the Tiandao Palace had the Qintianjian department. The Tiandao Palace was ordered by heaven. The function of the Qintianjian is to accept the will of God, and it is on the same level as the three pavilions and five halls."

"But for some reasons, Qin Tian Prison was banned."

When Elder Dingyuan said this, he sighed a little, and Zhang Ye frowned. That certain reason must be a secret that only those at the level of department elders have permission to know. Although he was curious, he didn't ask.

Elder Dingyuan continued, "But recently, the head and the chief elders are discussing and preparing to restart the Imperial Observatory." At this point, Elder Dingyuan looked at Zhang Ye with some excitement, "So the Imperial Observatory is your only chance to go further."

By the way, Elder Dingyuan's original plan was not like this. He wanted to weaken the influence of the Refining Hall through the magical Taoist, so that Elder Dingyuan would surpass the White Eyebrow Patriarch and become the chief elder. At that time, he would promote the magical Taoist to become the department elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

However, the restoration of the Imperial Observatory changed Elder Dingyuan's mind, because the promotion of the chief elder required the vote of the elders of each department in addition to the permission of the head. Since the Imperial Observatory is on the same level as the three pavilions and five halls, it definitely has the right to vote. Therefore, instead of letting the magical Taoist continue to weaken the influence of the Refining Hall, it is better to find a way to make the magical Taoist an elder of the Imperial Observatory. One more vote is more cost-effective than anything else.

Zhang Ye understood the reason why Elder Dingyuan arranged this, but the Imperial Observatory was re-established, and many people must have been eyeing this piece of fat meat. Even if Zhang Ye had made a lot of contributions, it would still be difficult for him to break through the siege.

Elder Dingyuan seemed to see Zhang Ye's concerns and said, "Don't worry too much. The position of the elder of the Imperial Observatory does not require high cultivation. You just need to reach the Refining Void Realm. Now you are in the late Nascent Soul stage. I will find a way to get you a batch of magical objects. Don't worry about whether your realm is stable or not. Break through to the Refining Void cultivation first."

"What's more, you have made many great achievements. Even if you have only joined the Tiandao Palace for a short time, you can be on par with the elders of the older generation." Elder Dingyuan paused, "But if you want to defeat them completely, you need to make another contribution. I will find a way to arrange an opportunity for you to make a contribution."

Since Elder Dingyuan has arranged everything, why not Zhang Ye? He thanked him immediately.

In the following two days, Yuxu Zhenren of Tiandao Palace officially announced the establishment of the Imperial Observatory. Those who coveted the position of the elder of the Imperial Observatory began to become active, and a feast of power was about to begin.

Although the ordinary cultivators of Tiandao Palace were a little jealous, they knew that they did not have that blessing, but it did not hinder everyone's enthusiasm for discussing who would be the winner.

"I think Elder Hai of the Internal Affairs Hall is likely to be transferred to the Imperial Observatory to take charge. He has a high level of cultivation and seniority. It is said that he will take over when the elders of the Internal Affairs Hall retire in the future."

"If you want a high level of cultivation and seniority, what about Elder Tao of the Pill Hall?"

"Hey, why do I feel that there is a magical power in the dark that will let the magical elder of the Law Enforcement Hall take charge of the Imperial Observatory."

The cultivators discussed various possibilities, and no one was convinced, but when a cultivator proposed that the magical Taoist would be in charge of the Imperial Observatory, everyone's opinions finally unified. Of course, it does not mean that everyone unanimously recognized the magical Taoist, but that everyone started to curse him.

"Bullshit, although Elder Qiqi has been in the limelight recently, he still lacks experience!"

"Besides, Elder Qiqi is only at the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible for him to be in charge of a department!"

"No matter what, I hate him..."

The cultivator who proposed the magical Taoist was scolded by everyone. He swore that he would never mention the magical Taoist again, and many cultivators reluctantly let him go.

The magical Taoist was not favored by the cultivators. In fact, Zhang Ye was not optimistic about himself, because the matter of the Imperial Observatory was too hasty. If there was a year or two, he was confident that no one could compete with him. But unfortunately, the chief elder of the Imperial Observatory had to be established within a few days. Where could he go to make achievements?

The most important thing was that Elder Dingyuan sent him a large batch of elixirs that could quickly improve his cultivation, but Zhang Ye's cultivation was not cultivated by himself, and eating these elixirs had no effect.

Just when he was at a loss, Elder Dingyuan found Zhang Ye with an excited look on his face: "Your chance to make merit has come."

Zhang Ye put aside the matter of cultivation for the time being and asked: "Thank you Elder Dingyuan for your concern. I wonder how I can make merit?"

Elder Dingyuan said: "The demonized Tianbing Patriarch has been forced into Donghuang Mountain by the Demon-Slaying Brigade. Now the area of ​​Donghuang Mountain has been completely blocked. Tianbing Patriarch can't escape. As long as you can kill him with your own hands, it will be another great achievement."

Because Tianbing Patriarch was causing trouble everywhere, the various sects of Tiandao jointly established the Demon-Slaying Brigade, but it was still led by the Tiandao Palace Law Enforcement Hall, so Elder Dingyuan was able to know the latest news about Tianbing Patriarch.

But Zhang Ye didn't even have time to hide from Tianbing Patriarch, so he dared to kill him? Was he looking for death? He looked bitter: "Elder Dingyuan, the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch was a great power before the Three Tribulations, and he is even more powerful after the demonization. I am just a mere Nascent Soul, how can I kill him?"

Elder Dingyuan laughed: "Do you think those combined and Mahayana cultivators of the Demon Slayer Team are opponents of the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch? Because we have a killer!" Elder Dingyuan flipped his hand, and a jade talisman appeared in his hand, "This jade talisman contains the full force of the Nine Ancestors of the Heavenly Dao Palace. You will use it when the time comes. The Heavenly Soldier Patriarch will definitely die."

The cultivators of the Demon Slayer Team all hold the jade talismans of the ancestors of various sects, no wonder they can force the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch to Donghuang Mountain.

Zhang Ye believes that this jade talisman can kill the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch, but will the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch stand there and wait for him to fight? The most important thing is that the Heavenly Soldier Patriarch must kill Zhang Ye, and it is so scary to deliver him to the door.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Ye was ready to decline Elder Dingyuan's offer and look for another opportunity to make merit, but the forging system ding-donged: "Triggered the side quest, kill the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor, and the reward is to increase your cultivation by one level."
