After Xu Fang made arrangements for the human race and the creatures of Penglai, in order to better enable the Penglai creatures to carry out this guarding mission and to manage them more effectively, he discussed with Huang Zhongli and others, and then divided the Penglai creatures.
According to Penglai's three immortal islands, they were divided into Penglai Subordinates, Fangzhang Subordinates, and Yingzhou Subordinates. The Penglai creatures automatically belonged to a department based on the island they were born on.
Under these three immortal island subordinates, Xu Fang and Huang Zhongli further divided them into ten departments according to the Ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. They each selected leaders with higher cultivation realms to manage a department.
Even though Yingzhou Island was still in the hands of the Immortal Court, Xu Fang and Huang Zhongli included it in their calculations.
Because according to their estimation, with the death of the Eastern Prince, the Immortal Court would collapse, and then Yingzhou Island would naturally be reclaimed.
From then on, Xu Fang and Huang Zhongli, as well as other high-level figures of Penglai Immortal Island, only needed to control the leaders of these departments to manage the creatures of Penglai, which saved a lot of trouble.
After all arrangements and divisions were completed, Xu Fang waved his hand, and a group of Penglai Immortal Island creatures immediately stepped forward and stood before Xu Fang.
"You shall go to the coast of the East Sea to guard the human race. The term is one hundred years. At that time, Penglai creatures will come to meet you."
"In case of an emergency, you can seek help from the magic treasures in your hands."
Xu Fang's words were light and airy, and that group of Penglai creatures listened with confusion.
It wasn't just them; the other Penglai creatures were also bewildered, exchanging glances.
What kind of arrangement was this? If they encountered danger, shouting for help at their magic treasures, would that really work?
However, since it was personally said by Xu Fang of Penglai Immortal Island, even if they had doubts, they couldn't say much to question it.
Looking at the magic treasures in their hands, they began to guess. Could it be that the Island Master had engraved some imperceptible mark on these magic treasures with great divine power?
With this thought, the group of Penglai creatures about to depart, as well as the Penglai creatures staying on Penglai Immortal Island, accepted what Xu Fang had said.
Then, the Penglai Grand Formation was opened, and that group of creatures left Penglai Immortal Island, heading towards the coast of the East Sea to complete the first phase of the mission to guard the human race.
Watching this group of Penglai creatures leave Penglai Immortal Island and go far away, Xu Fang smiled.
"This is a bit like having overseas garrisons."
"What overseas garrisons?"
Huang Zhongli was confused. Xu Fang did not want to explain further and quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Huang, can you really protect these Penglai creatures through their magic treasures?"
Speaking of this, Huang Zhongli livened up and nodded, saying.
"Don't worry, all Penglai creatures and magic treasures are registered in my records, and I will keep a close eye on them."
"Exactly, you don't need to worry. Even if she, Huang Zhongli, is not reliable, there's still your brother Chizi!"
Liangtian Chi also chimed in at the right time, confirming Huang Zhongli's words.
As long as the chat group was there, even if most of the Penglai magic treasures were not official members of the chat group and could not speak in the chat group, it wouldn't matter.
Because the private messaging function did not have such restrictions, and those Penglai magic treasures were not stupid. Wouldn't they call out to their boss for help in danger?
In this way, they would be aware of any situation with the guard forces stationed among the human race in Penglai. The distance from the East Sea coast to Penglai Immortal Island was not far, and rescue would be timely, so there was no need to worry.
Xu Fang heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
He naturally knew these things, but he could only pretend not to know.
Anyway, he would just pretend to have a superficial understanding of the chat group matters and did not need to ask too many questions.
Therefore, Xu Fang quickly put the matter aside and said.
"Alright, next, I need to go to Wuzhuang Temple."
"Leaving again so soon? What are you going to Wuzhuang Temple for?"
Huang Zhongli asked. This fellow had only been home for a short while, and he was already going out to roam again. Was Penglai Immortal Island just your resting station, a place you come and go in a hurry?
Xu Fang automatically ignored Huang Zhongli's look of resentment. It was best to say less about these entanglements.
Xu Fang looked up at the sky, which was high above, and sighed.
"I need to verify some things. Since the great trend of the Primordial Era cannot be changed, but the small trends can be moved, I will act before it's too late, so as not to encounter the same helplessness as the Eastern Prince!"
The crisis of the Eastern Prince came unexpectedly, and Xu Fang could not rescue him in time. Fortunately, it was finally resolved with the help of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
However, this also served as a reminder to Xu Fang. If he truly remained indifferent, he would become increasingly powerless when the situation arose.
Moreover, after the incident with the Eastern Prince, Xu Fang, having learned about Ancestral Dragon's method of soul rebirth, already had unusual intentions.
Perhaps, if he played his cards right, he could save that kind old man Hongyun Daoist in the upcoming events.
In any case, he had to try. It was better than doing nothing!
After experiencing the rain, it was even more important to prepare for it.
He had already missed the Eastern Prince, but he couldn't miss Hongyun Daoist again. These were all beings with whom he had good relations. Since he could do something for them, he should not fail them again.
Seeing Xu Fang like this, Huang Zhongli knew that the incident with the Eastern Prince had struck him quite hard. She sighed and said.
"Alright, you go then. Everything on Penglai Immortal Island is my responsibility. Come back whenever you are tired."
"Thank you, Sister. I understand."
Xu Fang replied and bowed to Huang Zhongli.
With his decision made, Xu Fang handed over all matters on Penglai Immortal Island to Huang Zhongli, then summoned the Golden-Winged Great Peng and others.
Hearing that they were about to depart, the three Golden-Winged Great Peng were naturally excited.
However, Duobao Daoist took this opportunity to bid farewell. After all, he had been traveling with Xu Fang for a long time and had not returned to Kunlun Mountain to be by his master's side.
"I envy you, senior. So many beings worship you, it's comparable to a major sect!"
Duobao Daoist said goodbye to Xu Fang, still unable to help but sigh.
"A major sect? Don't worry, you will be very glorious in the future."
Xu Fang glanced at Duobao Daoist. Whether as the senior disciple of the Jie Sect or as Duobao Tathagata Buddha, his future glory was indescribable and enviable.
"Of course, before that, you might have to feel a little sad."
Xu Fang smiled, but did not explain further to Duobao, leaving Duobao feeling quite depressed.
Xu Fang shook his head. When this one returned to Tongtian's side, he would be even more depressed, because that old rival Guangchengzi should have successfully become a disciple by now.
Xu Fang didn't say anything more and immediately set off with the three Golden-Winged Great Peng, heading west towards Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.
As for Duobao Daoist, he looked at the departing Fenbaoyan with a hint of regret.
After witnessing Xu Fang's various marvels and seeing Penglai Immortal Island flourishing under his leadership, Duobao Daoist felt regret mixed with envy.
If he had joined senior Xu Fang's discipleship back then, what would his situation be like?
