Zhang Yan believed that part of what Daoist Wan Que had said was true, but there were many discrepancies between what he said and what really happened.
If the crux of the matter was concealed, then the result would be very different. The main reason this person had done this was to make him understand the danger here and retreat.
Unfortunately, he was fated to not stop.
The pursuit of the Great Dao was still seeking Transcendence, but the existence of those in the upper realms made this meaningless. Because whether the upper realms were willing or not, in terms of ability, the upper realms could control the latter at will. It was not an exaggeration to say that they could kill and take their lives.
The higher one's cultivation was, the more they could not tolerate this.
So he could understand why Lu Hua, Feng Chan, and the others wanted to reach the upper realms. Even if they knew it was dangerous, they were willing to fight for that sliver of a chance. Because after they reached True Yang, they would obtain eternal life, but as long as someone in the upper realms appeared, they could easily turn them to dust. However, all of their cultivations had been painstakingly cultivated, so if all of this could vanish in the blink of an eye, then how could they accept it? They would definitely think of ways to reach the Great Dao.
As a disciple of the Qincang, and with the Great Underworld Ancestral Master above him, he did not seem to have to worry about such things. But even if he put aside his desire to seek Dao and Transcendence, he would not put his safety in the hands of others.
For example, Bai Wei and the others were clearly defeated by the Human Dao, but they were unwilling to be tamed. They wanted to break free of the restraints, and even made some small moves. This was the reason.
After thinking for a long time in the hall, he decided to put Daoist Wan Que's words aside. Before he took that step, he would do as his own people did.
After thinking for a long time, he came to the Kun Residence to see if he could find anything valuable here.
Ever since last time, he knew that he could not obtain any further techniques here. But this time, he wanted to try and see if he could find clues related to the upper realms.
He sat down and began to meditate.
In the past, as long as he willed it, it wouldn't take long before the object related to his thoughts would appear in front of him. However, this time, even after a long time had passed, nothing appeared in the abode. He understood in his heart that he wouldn't be able to find what he wanted here.
Fortunately, he had another breakthrough point.
So he got up and called out in his heart, "Is Daoist Ying Zhao here?"
After a while, the figure of a huge Kun appeared. The huge figure stopped not far away from him. This was the reflection of the Jade Kun Ying's Divine Will. He said, "Overlord, I wonder why you called me out?"
Zhang Yan said, "Back then, Fellow Daoist used this place as the Ancestral Abode of the Ancestral Master. I'm sure Fellow Daoist has met the Ancestral Master and his ancestors?"
Ying Zhao replied: "Of course I do."
Zhang Yan asked, "Fellow Daoist, I'd like to ask, what else did the patriarch and the seniors in the sect do in the past other than cultivating luck techniques?"
Ying Zhao said, "Usually it's to discuss the scriptures, or to search for Dao."
Zhang Yan continued, "Do you still remember what Patriarch and everyone said when he was explaining the Dao?"
Ying Zhao said with certainty, "Of course I remember. Even though I don't really understand some of the theories, I still remember them well."
Zhang Yan's heart moved slightly, so he asked a few questions. Ying Zhao was indeed not boasting, he did remember the Dao discussions, but only the discussions. Most of them were about how to advance to True Yang and what to do after True Yang, but none of them were about how to pursue the Path of Spirit Refinement.
He pondered for a while, it was still hard to know what the Great Underworld Patriarch's realm was like. However, it should only be his clone that appeared in front of the disciples. It was just that this Patriarch did not mention anything about the upper realm, either he thought it was unnecessary, or he intentionally avoided it.
The former was fine, but if it was the latter, then the Patriarch's attitude was really worth pondering.
Seeing that there was nothing else for him to investigate, he bade farewell to Ying Zhao and left.
This time, his consciousness shifted to the Path of Strength.
After entering the Heavenly Barrier, even if he could achieve the Great Art of Spirit Refinement, it would be the achievement of the Qi Path dharma body, and it would have nothing to do with the Path of Strength. However, because the two were originally one, there was a high chance that they would go to the upper realm together.
However, he was thinking if he could find a way to enter the eighth realm. Even if he did not cultivate it now, this realm was on the same level as the Path of Spirit Refinement, and he might be able to peek into some secrets.
However, he had no idea how to go further in the Path of Spirit Refinement.
The Strength Path Avatar was still accumulating power, and it looked like it was far from reaching its limit. Therefore, it was impossible for it to reach the level of the Qi Path Avatar in such a short period of time. It seemed like the time for the next opportunity had yet to arrive.
Actually, with his Spiritual Power, he could follow the meridian of the Path of Spirit Refinement and see a trace of the future. Maybe he would be able to obtain the secret of the eighth realm rotation.
Because the future was endless, if he did that, he would be giving up on the masses. In other words, his future would be decided, and he would be able to gain benefits for a while, but in the long run, it was not appropriate.
Of course, if he really reached the upper realm, he might be able to jump out of such restraints. However, this was just a guess, and there might be more hidden dangers. Therefore, this was actually a huge gamble, and he did not want to take it.
Here, he had another train of thought.
After he defeated all the owners of the Demon Treasury throughout the ages, the Weili behind him had been trying to support him, and even gave him many conveniences. There must be a reason for this, and there must be a purpose for it.
From the looks of it, the owner of the Demon Treasury was also unfathomable, and should be someone of the upper realm. Therefore, unless he could reach this realm, he would not even be able to talk to the other party. If so, the other party might have left some opportunity in the Anti-Heaven and Earth.
Although these were just his guesses, it was worth a try.
Moreover, he could use this opportunity to verify one thing. If he could not find this method, then there was no need to say more. However, if he could find it, it meant that this person was very likely to be watching him. Therefore, when he looked for it, it took the initiative to come to him.
After making up his mind, he turned his consciousness and entered the Anti-Heaven and Earth.
It was still almost chaotic here, and other than that unknown thing, there was nothing else. However, with the experience of watching Bu Xutian, he knew what to do. He tried to search deep into the world.
Very quickly, he came into contact with three consciousnesses. These were three Demon Masters that had not yet been born. The karma of the heavens had not arrived, so they had not yet entered the world.
He did not touch them, and continued to search deeper.
However, no matter how deep he immersed himself, there was no response. It was as if there were no more secrets here.
He opened his eyes, and his consciousness retreated from within. He pondered for a while, and could not find anything. This result was neither good nor bad. This meant that he needed to reach the eighth level of the Divine Realm, so he had to continue waiting. The owner of the Demon Treasury was obviously not paying attention to him, or in other words, the power left in this world might not be able to affect him anymore.
He thought about it, and since he did not find any useful clues in the two paths, he would have to find Taoist Wan Que to ask. However, there was no need to do so frequently, as that would make him seem too impatient. He could just look for this person after a while.
With a thought, he turned to the Kun Shi Continent again. This time, he went straight to the Bi Division.
Now, this was no longer a tribe, but a country. It was also the largest settlement outside of the old territories of the human path. Because the people here were proficient in special techniques, and with the protection of the Divine Monarch, not only could they defend an area, but they could also suppress the ferocious beasts in all directions. The tribes of the other races also did not dare to come close.
Zhi Shi was compiling a book. Ever since he entered the Bi Division a few hundred years ago, he had taught many disciples, and many of them had left behind writings. However, in his opinion, there were many flaws, so he decided to write a few volumes himself, and modified the previous ones so that they could be passed down from generation to generation, and be used for imparting techniques.
Imparting techniques was not the same as imparting Dao. It was just that after training Qi, one could obtain some talisman making and special techniques. For proper cultivation, one still had to go deep into the mountains to find Daoists.
After a long time, he finished another volume. He put down the paper and ink, and held it up for a while before putting it down satisfactorily.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that everything around him had quietened down as if everything was frozen. He had a similar experience before. With a thought, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the door. Looking up, he saw a black-robed Daoist standing there. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Xuanyuan Exalted."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "No need to stand on ceremony."
Zhi Shi was slightly perturbed and asked, "May I know what orders Exalted has for me?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I'm here for a matter. I might go to a realm after this, so I have no time to care about the matters of the world. I'm here to ask you something."
Zhi Shi hurriedly said, "Please speak, Exalted."
Zhang Yan said, "You are the Innate Cardinal Treasure of this era. If you want to become a Treasure Body in the future, I will have to take you away for a period of time to prevent others from taking advantage of you.
He had already placed a talisman on Zhi Shi, so no one could find him. Bai Wei and Deng Zhang couldn't do anything now, but that didn't mean that nothing would happen to the world. Daoist Wan Que's background was unknown, and Bu Xutian might have other secrets hidden within him. Thus, he couldn't let his guard down. He would rather be cautious and cut off all possibilities first. Then, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
Zhi Shi carefully asked, "If I don't become a Treasure Body, can I not leave?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Of course you can, but I will seal your Qi activity so that no one can open it. If you want to in the future, I will help you when I return."
Zhi Shi bowed and said firmly, "I am willing to do so."
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "You have to think it through."
Zhi Shi said firmly, "I have thought it through. Please grant my wish, Exalted Exalted."
Zhang Yan nodded and waved his sleeve. A clear light rose and entered Zhi Shi's body like water or a sword, freezing his Qi activity. In the future, without his permission, or someone whose mana was stronger than him, they wouldn't be able to break the seal.
According to Wan Que Taoist, once he reached the Upper Realm, everything in the world would turn into an illusion. It seemed meaningless to do so, but no one knew what the actual situation would be like. He couldn't just sit back and do nothing just because of a few words. He would continue to make arrangements for his original plans, and once everything was settled, he would truly take that step.
