Zhang Yu took out the golden talisman, made a copy and left it within the Dao Palace, then tucked the original back into his sleeve. He summoned Daoist Ming Zhou and instructed, "A fellow Daoist in the Inner Layer has attained the Dao. After some time, he should come to the Upper Layer. Daoist Ming Zhou, you may receive him on my behalf when he arrives."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed in acknowledgment.
After leaving the Pure Profound Dao Palace, Zhang Yu shifted his thoughts, and his figure vanished and reappeared in an instant. He had already arrived at the heart of the Clear Firmament Ark.
Standing above the sea of clouds, he followed the route he had taken on his previous two visits and proceeded deeper inside.
This time, he had come to meet Chen Yu.
After Chen Yu became Chief Executive, he no longer resided in his former Dao Palace. Instead, he had moved into the depths of the Clear Firmament Ark, where he oversaw its principal authority.
In truth, after the adjustment in seating order, Zhang Yu had clearly sensed that he could command more Clear Vault Aura than before. This was also because he had been granted greater authority.
For if the Chief Executive stepped down or fell in battle, he, the Deputy Executive, would take that position. Should the Deputy Executive be absent as well, the next person in line would succeed him. In short, those below had to be ready at all times to take over for those above, bearing responsibility for Celestial Xia's overall direction.
After passing through two layers of barriers, he arrived before a stairway of clouds. Daoist Ming Zhou appeared there and bowed. "The Chief Executive knows that Executive Zhang has arrived and specially ordered Ming Zhou to come receive you."
