After Zhang Yan stayed in this Nameless World, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
After attaining True Yang, because he didn't have many peers to communicate with, he was fumbling about on his own. It was inevitable that he would stumble. Now that he had the experience of others to learn from, he gained a lot from discussing Dao with the four.
He wasn't the only one who benefited, the four also gained a lot of inspiration from him.
Those who could cultivate to the True Yang realm were not simple. However, because of their different origins, their understanding of the world and even their own bodies were different. Even though Lu Lin and the other three had similar cultivation bases, their paths were different. Every time they had a peer to communicate with, they would have one more path to Dao to learn from, which was beneficial to them.
This was also one of the reasons why many cultivators did not agree to eliminate those innate demons after they attained True Yang in Bu Xu Heaven.
Strictly speaking, the cultivators of the human path had the upper hand, so they were not afraid of them. However, divine power was no match for the heavens. Who could have expected that after a great change, the universe would be reversed?
Lu Lin and the other three seemed to want to preserve the human path. There were many jade scrolls in this world, most of which recorded the words and actions of the great cultivators of the human path.
Zhang Yan was also quite interested in these. These often needed to be studied carefully to see the hidden meaning behind it. That would take a lot of time. He had no time at the moment, so he memorized them and prepared to organize them in the future.
Even though he hadn't been here for a long time, the four of them were friendly to him and didn't conceal many things from him. Thus, he gradually came to know that the realm that he could use to avoid the tribulation hadn't actually been completely refined yet. However, it was about to be completed in the next few decades.
Because he was interested in this place, he tried to ask if he could go in and take a look. However, Mo Cang told him that this place had to be cut off from all karmic ties with the present world and even the remnants of the past. Otherwise, it could still be found by the demons. Unless he was willing to enter the realm and never come out again, he could not let outsiders in. Therefore, he gave up on this idea.
After a few more months, Zhang Yan saw that the agreed time with Dan Yi was approaching. He thought that he needed to go back and prepare, so he said goodbye.
After Mo Cangyan found out, he urged him to stay. "Why is Fellow Daoist in such a hurry to leave? Stay here to cultivate and verify with us from time to time. Isn't that wonderful?"
Among the four of them, Lü Lin was a reserved person and did not like to speak. Chen Chan had the temperament of a child, and Han Xiao liked to be quiet. Only Mo Cang often chatted with him, so they could be considered friends.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I would also like to stay here and discuss Dao with all of you. It's just that the demons and demons outside are not peaceful, it's really hard for me to cultivate in peace. When the day comes that the human dao crisis is saved, I'll come and visit all of you again."
Mo Cang sighed and said, "I know that Fellow Daoist Zhang is the same as Fellow Daoist Dan Yi, both of you have a firm mind and are not people that can be shaken by words, so I won't persuade you any further. I just want to say that Fellow Daoist's vitality is vigorous and deep, it's something I've never seen before, but you're slightly lacking in the way of controlling it. On the other hand, those demons and demons are proficient in this way, and with a treasure in hand, it's hard to match them with normal methods. You can take a step back and wait for your cultivation to succeed before making a big plan."
Zhang Yan thought that there was some truth in what Mo Cang said. It was not easy to completely control vitality. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed not something that could be done in a day or two. However, with the broken jade in hand, it was different. His original body was already trying to tame his mana, and he believed that in a hundred years or so, he would be able to improve. In reality, it was not that he did not want to spend more time to settle, but the demons and demons could refine that treasure at any time, so they could not wait any longer. He smiled and said, "In any case, it's time for I to leave. I'll say my goodbyes here, Fellow Daoist."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mo Cang did not try to persuade him to stay. He clasped his hands and said, "I hope Fellow Daoist's wish comes true."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and turned to leave. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the empty space where he had come from. Before he left, he turned back to look at the four of them. He did not know when he would be able to see them again after the four of them hid in that place.
He had a feeling that the four of them had set up a trap that was not as simple as it seemed. In any case, it had nothing to do with him, so he flicked his sleeve and left.
Because there was still some time before his appointment with Dan Yi, he did not immediately return to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Instead, he decided to find the Elephant Dragon Gold Furnace. Perhaps it would be of some help in slaying the demon.
When he arrived in the Void Essence Sea, he took out the talisman that Chen Chan had given him and closed his eyes to sense it. He could sense that the direction of the talisman was constantly changing, making it very difficult to grasp. It was likely that the golden furnace had no fixed location and was constantly wandering. If it weren't for the talisman, it would have been very difficult to find any trace of it.
After a long time, he grasped a bit of inspiration. He opened his eyes and followed the talisman to escape. In an instant, he had already entered a world. He swept his gaze around and saw that he had landed at a ferry that was filled with people. The river was vast and surged swiftly, but no matter if it was the travelers or the boatmen and peddlers, they all paid no attention to him.
After arriving here, the talisman no longer moved. He immediately understood that the talisman could only give him a general direction, and he would have to rely on himself to find it.
However, this was not difficult. As long as this treasure was immersed in the world of mortals, it would eventually be possible to find traces of it. Thus, he put it away. Then, with a turn of his mind, it instantly enveloped the bodies of all the living beings in the world. As long as anyone mentioned or involved anything mysterious, it would immediately be noticed by him.
At the same time, he also noticed that there were many cultivators here, but because their World Spiritists were weak, most of them had ordinary cultivation bases. The ones with the highest cultivation base were roughly on par with Yuanying, or perhaps because of the lack of proper cultivation, they were slightly inferior. He could not help but think to himself, "Looks like Fellow Daoist Mo Cang was right. The Elephant Dragon Gold Furnace really does like to hang out with junior disciples. Otherwise, it would not have come to this world."
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something. His eyes flashed, and his thought was directed to a city thousands of miles away. In a tall pavilion, there were two young men and women wearing embroidered robes and swords hanging from their waists. They were talking.
The young man said, "This time, the selected disciples are not bad. There are a total of four people who can enter the list. In the past, they could only be sent to the flower list. Elder Zhen has complained a few times. Finally, there is an explanation."
The woman also had a joyful expression. She said, "I heard that this time, it is the work of the Martial School's Cai Yu. To have such a scene in just a few years, it is really rare. When we go back, we can mention this to the officials in the hall. This kind of talent should not be buried here."
The young man smiled and said, "Then I will go, in case he is unwilling and make things difficult for us."
The woman thought about it and agreed, "Alright."
After discussing with her, the young man turned around and left.
At that moment, Zhang Yan not only heard their conversation, but he also saw through the man's thoughts.
Unintentionally, he learned that Cai Shiyu's ability wasn't due to his own ability, but because he had obtained a miraculous item that could awaken a person's intelligence. Even a mediocre person could be transformed into a fine piece of jade. He had secretly planned to take it for himself, so he did not report this matter to his sect.
He was not interested in the man's thoughts, but from the various signs, the so-called magical item was very likely the golden cauldron.
Therefore, he immediately looked around and quickly found the item that the man had mentioned. In a large house with green tiles, there was a huge cauldron that reached his waist. It was gold and bronze in color, and it stood on one leg with a flat lid. It was the treasure that he had seen in the Divine Will that day.
However, he did not immediately take action. If it was so easy to find, Chen Chan and the others would have long taken it away. He would not even have a chance to do it.
He had previously deduced that the cauldron would have sensed it when he sensed its aura. But now that the target was so obvious, he did not believe that there was no problem.
The golden cauldron could refine many treasures, and it had been active in the Myriad Heavens for a long time. It was not difficult for it to refine something that could conceal its tracks.
After a moment of observation, he smiled and said, "Interesting."
This thing was after all an artifact and not a cultivator. No matter how it changed, it could not be completely hidden from him, so it was not difficult for him to pry into its secrets.
The Elephant Dragon Golden Cauldron only left a projection of itself here, just like the avatar of a True Yang cultivator. However, it also had the ability to refine treasures, but there was a seal on the projection. If someone who did not know anything rashly went up to it, they would unknowingly form a legislative contract with it.
The content of the contract was unknown, but it was probably to prevent people from searching for it, or to borrow its avatar, but not to disturb its real body. This was because it did not involve any life-or-death calamities, and the treasure had the ability to disrupt the senses of a True Yang cultivator, so it was possible to be fooled if one was not careful.
After understanding the whole story, he did not stay outside. With a thought, he appeared beside the golden cauldron. After sensing for a moment, he could confirm that there were many avatars of this treasure, and they might even be scattered across the Myriad Heavens.
It was no wonder that no one had been able to capture this treasure before. Although a True Yang cultivator could sense the Myriad Heavens with a thought, that was within their own dwelling. If it was a Myriad Heavens that did not contain its aura, it would be impossible to find it.
From the looks of it, this flaw might have been deliberately sold. This was to let those who wanted to capture it know that even if they caught its aura, they would not be able to find it.
He smiled. This treasure might not have met anyone who could capture it, but he was different from others. He had a secret technique passed down by the Great Underworld Patriarch, and it could use a wisp of aura to see through all illusions and find the true bodies of those of the same generation. It was not difficult for him to find the true body of a treasure.
To him, it was difficult to find this treasure because it did not have the aura it had at the beginning. However, it was different now. It was already right in front of him, so how could he miss it? He immediately used a technique and followed the source of the aura.
