When refining an external body, one could not divert one's attention to other matters, especially during the initial period. Thus, Zhang Yu merely stationed his qi-intent there, intending to continue the refinement after dealing with the matters at hand.
He picked up the booklet Feng had handed him and examined the candidates within, letting his gaze linger whenever he found someone worthy of consideration. In truth, he had an even better candidate in mind, but that person had yet to achieve the rank of Profound Venerable, so he could only choose another.
Quite a few names in the booklet were newly accomplished Profound Method Profound Venerables from the Ravine Realm and the Unyielding Realm. Most were from the Ravine Realm. If one spoke of the place within the Futuo World Domain with the deepest foundations, it was naturally the Ravine Realm, where outstanding talents continued to emerge.
The reason for this was precisely that the middle and lower layers possessed an unending stream of talent. Every upper-layer cultivator rose from below. So long as these people could be properly nurtured, Celestial Xia would, with the passage of time, possess sufficient upper-layer strength.
At that moment, a divine attendant approached and presented a letter. "Court Executor, this is a letter sent by the two High Venerables, Daoist Chan and Daoist Shang."
Zhang Yu took it and glanced through it. After a brief consideration, he said, "Tell them that I approve this matter."
After the divine attendant withdrew, he looked back at the booklet and added a name with his brush. He included Chang Yang. Although this person was not a Profound Cultivator, he handled affairs with considerable flexibility and had also dealt with Origin Xia cultivators. He could serve as a member of the delegation and be entrusted with important duties.
