Chapter 559: Annual Summary of Three Hundred Years
There is one thing Zhang Yang did not tell Mu Shaoan.
That's the thing about him being an apprentice Time Keeper.
So when he caught a glimpse of the ancient chessboard of fate and saw that he was in danger of being killed because of accepting a time protection mission, he immediately chose to believe and invest.
Yes, it's an investment.
Zhang Yang didn't understand what fate was, but his little cousin had been dealing with fate almost his entire life, so it went without saying that he had a lot of experience.
So he didn't ask how much of the secrets of the Death Chain had been discovered by Mu Shaoan, and the boy didn't say anything either, just like he didn't mention the matter of the apprentice Time Guardian. These were all unfamiliar areas to both of them.
And it seems that Mu Shaoan doesn't want to be dominated by blood sacrifice again.
Of course, Zhang Yang also didn't want to be sacrificed in blood.
On this point, the two brothers tacitly maintained a safe distance. After all, even if they are brothers, there is a bottom line that cannot be touched.
It's good like this now. Family and blood ties allow them to maintain the most core trust. Then, each of them has their own goals, can work closely together, and support each other, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone to rely on anyone else.
After eleven months of delay, Zhang Yang finally showed up at the new mountain gate of Tianjian Sect. He did not immediately drag the charming bride to the bridal chamber, but sat at the top of the meeting hall with a sullen face. He was about to start the inspection.
This time, he will not tolerate any failures and will punish them severely.
Soon, all the high-level figures in this world, led by Tao Yao, the master of Tianji Hall, Qu Shang, the master of Daoyun Hall, Jiang Rong, the master of Qiyun Hall, Li Guohuai, the master of Tianshu Hall, He Yimou, the master of Xuncha Hall, Wu Jun, the master of Punishment Hall, Guan Shan, the master of Luling Hall, Guo Rong, the second-generation disciple of the master of Deacons Hall, and Liang Jin, the second-generation disciple of the master of Dimai Hall, entered the meeting hall one after another.
Three hundred years is just a blink of an eye for Zhang Yang, but it is enough time for many changes to take place.
For example, the number of people who are qualified to enter the meeting hall at this moment is twice as many as three hundred years ago, and the qualification to enter is not simply based on who has a higher level of cultivation, but on who does better things.
From this point of view, the strategy of establishing the Nine Palaces three hundred years ago was not a bad one.
After everyone bowed and greeted each other, Tao Yao, the master of Tianji Palace, was the first to step forward to report.
"Disciple Tao Yao recommended himself for the position of the head of the Tianji Palace three hundred years ago. I have not slacked off for three hundred years. Today, I would like to report to Master the merits and demerits of the Tianji Palace over the past three hundred years."
"According to Master's order, the Heavenly Secret Hall is responsible for monitoring, sorting out, correcting, and adjusting the changes in the Heavenly Secrets. Therefore, I personally selected and selected five deputy hall masters, 500 Heavenly Secrets elders, and 3,500 Heavenly Secrets Hall disciples. I spent a hundred years traveling throughout the world and built 108 Heavenly Secrets formations in the world. There are six types of Heavenly Secrets formations: Heaven, Earth, Human, God, Ghost, and Monster. They can monitor the changes in the Heavenly Secrets around the clock and provide adjustment accuracy that is increased by three times, nine times, and eighteen times."
"If there is a change in the Tianji surveillance, the Tianji Hall alarm will be triggered immediately. This alarm is set at 18 levels according to the magnitude of the Tianji change. Each level will dispatch the corresponding Tianji disciples or Tianji elders. If the Tianji change level exceeds level 4, the Tianji elders will be dispatched. If the Tianji change exceeds level 8, the Tianji Hall deputy master will be dispatched. If the Tianji change exceeds level 12, I, as the Tianji Hall master, will be dispatched."
"In the past two hundred years, the Heavenly Secret Palace has handled 3,987 Heavenly Secret Changes below Level 4, 321 Heavenly Secret Changes below Level 8, and 9 Heavenly Secret Changes below Level 12. All of the above Heavenly Secret Changes were resolved within the stipulated three days. All cases were reported to the Inspection Palace within ten days, and the Inspection Palace will evaluate and judge. If there are any violations, they will be punished according to the laws of heaven!"
"Now, my Tianji Palace will not be satisfied with the current achievements. I am personally leading the team to conquer a more powerful Tianji formation. It is expected that within the next 500 years, the Tianji formation 2.0 version will be launched and will complete the full coverage of our world inside and outside. The monitoring level may be subdivided into 36 levels."
Zhang Yang nodded slowly, and his passivated true spirit particles were already covering all 108 Tianji formations at the same time to confirm the truth of what Tao Yao said.
Monitoring the secrets of heaven is one of the most important links in the world, which is probably equivalent to a country's intelligence and espionage department, but it is more magical and has a wider coverage.
For example, there may be an invasion from foreign enemies, epidemics, pestilence, toxins, evil forces that are not native to our world, or viruses such as time travel and rebirth, or some subtle mutations.
In addition, the evolution of living things must also be monitored, good evolution must be retained and rewarded and protected, and bad evolution must be eliminated.
It is as if, as primitive people, the evolution of Homo sapiens is protected and rewarded, while the evolutionary direction of Neanderthals is wrong and must be corrected through fine-tuning by the Heavenly Secret Hall.
Some species, such as dinosaurs, caused too much damage to the environment and thus died out directly. The alternation between hot and cold in some areas was too frequent, or it was too hot or too cold, etc. These were all within the scope of work of the Tianji Palace.
Originally, these were all the responsibility of Tiandao Xiaoniang herself.
Now that all of them have been taken over by the Tianji Palace, Zhang Yang’s requirement is that at least the work efficiency cannot be much lower than that of Tiandao Xiaoniang. His bottom line is that it cannot be lower than 80%.
In the past three hundred years, the efficiency of the Tianji Palace led by Tao Yao in completing the monitoring and regulation of Tianji was almost fifteen percentage points lower than that of Tiandao Xiaoniang.
So you can pass it.
"Tianji Hall, the completion rate is 85%, which means you have passed the initial test. After 500 years, if you can achieve 100% perfection, you will be rewarded with a strand of the Dao rhyme of the sword core. If you can achieve perfection, for every 1% improvement, you will get an additional strand of the Dao rhyme of the sword core, with no upper limit."
Zhang Yang gave his judgment. Tao Yao and other disciples were slightly surprised, and secretly shuddered at the same time, because they did not expect that their Master Xiao Geng could check the work of Tianji Hall in just a few breaths. What kind of magical power is this? Even if there is the bonus of Daozu, how can it be done without the assistance of Tiandao Xiaoniang? Zhang Yang was secretly proud of himself. This is the benefit brought by his passivated true spirit particles, which is more powerful than the incarnation, especially in his own territory.
Tao Yao withdrew with respect and awe, and then it was the turn of Daoyun Hall Master Qu Shang to step forward to report.
"Disciple Tao Yao recommended himself to be the master of Daoyun Palace three hundred years ago. I have always been mindful of Master's orders and have never slacked off. I have made some small achievements. I hope Master will review them."
"According to Master's order, Daoyun Hall is responsible for collecting and organizing the principles of heaven and earth, the great way of the human world, and practicing Daoyun. Therefore, I have selected three deputy hall masters, one thousand Daoyun elders, and nine thousand Daoyun disciples from the disciples of Tianjian Sect. The great way of heaven and earth passed down by Master is the orthodox one, and it has three major branches and thirty-six minor branches."
"The three major branches are - the sword branch, the divine seal branch, and the divine talisman branch. Take their characteristics and essence, collect, organize, optimize, and upgrade them to finally obtain different levels of Dao rhyme."
"In the past three hundred years, I have led the Dao Yun Hall to harvest the following: 200 core-level Dao Yuns, including 170 sword Dao Yuns, 21 divine seal Dao Yuns, and 9 divine talisman Dao Yuns. These Dao Yuns have all been sealed in the Dao Yun Hall. Only you, Master, have the authority to allocate them."
"In addition, we harvested 9,400 strands of secondary Dao rhyme and 109,829 strands of ordinary Dao rhyme. Half of these two types of Dao rhyme have been sealed in the Dao Rhyme Hall, and the other half has been collected by me and the other eight hall masters as rewards to be given to the most outstanding creatures in this world in the past three hundred years. The whole process will be supervised by the Inspection Hall. If there are any violations, they will be dealt with according to the laws of Heaven."
After Qu Shang finished speaking, Zhang Yang smiled and nodded. Needless to say, Daoyun Palace was definitely the most outstanding among the nine palaces, and it was definitely something that even the Tiandao Lady could not compare to.
The main reason is that Tiandao Xiaoniang is still lacking in this aspect. Of course, if she continues to upgrade and advance, it will be different. Unfortunately, in order to prevent being wiped out by the third-generation pesticides, she can only be deprived of power and dismissed.
"good!"
Zhang Yang quickly confirmed the achievements of Daoyun Hall. The so-called Daoyun, although the name sounds mysterious, is actually very simple to understand.
For example, if someone could completely capture and preserve the peak state and realm of Wang Xizhi when he wrote the Lanting Preface, it would definitely be equivalent to a ray of ordinary Taoist rhyme.
Then, if we seal and copy this ordinary Taoist rhythm, so that future disciples can continue to copy it, or even put themselves in Wang Xizhi's state at that time to copy it in person, even a fool knows how great the benefits will be.
Therefore, Qu Shang was in charge of Dao Yun Palace, and within three hundred years he was able to deposit a total of two hundred core Dao Yuns. This achievement is definitely dozens of times that of Tian Dao Xiao Niang.
It is no exaggeration to say that one strand of core Dao rhyme can create a law-abiding Mahayana! One hundred strands of core Dao rhyme can create a law-abiding demigod.
This is real fighting power.
"Except for the core Dao rhyme of the Divine Seal and the core Dao rhyme of the Divine Talisman, the Dao Rhyme Hall can retain half of the core Dao rhyme, which will be handled by Hall Master Qu Shang. The remaining half of the core Dao rhyme will be used as rewards for the other eight halls. Well, it will be reviewed every five hundred years."
Zhang Yang quickly formulated the rules. These cunning first-generation disciples looked down on the low-paying offices like the Deacon Hall and the Earth Vein Hall, so they actually used two second-generation disciples to cover up. So don't blame him for formulating the corresponding rules.
As for whether it is unfair for Daoyun Palace to share half of the core Daoyun equally, that is all nonsense.
The status and nature of the Dao Yun Hall is almost the same as that of a scientific research institute. Only those who are most outstanding in sensing the Dao Yun can enter. These people naturally have enough merits to enjoy the greatest results, and then they can promote the acquisition of more Dao Yun.
Of course, the core purpose cannot be changed. The Nine Palaces just have different divisions of labor, but they must serve the world as a whole. Without the protection of this world, no one can have a good life.
Everyone must understand and follow this principle.
Competition is OK, but infighting is not!
