Zhang Yan first thought of going back to what he saw Just Now, trying to find this item in the Shadow of the Past.
From when Taoist Wan Que first spoke to him, to Just Now, the moment the jade scroll appeared mysterious, he looked back and forth several times, but did not find anything strange.
He did not expect to succeed in one try, and continued to look deeper. But no matter how he looked back and forth, he could not find any trace of this item, as if it did not exist in the past.
He had expected this result. When Taoist Wan Que discovered that this scroll had disappeared, he should have tried this method, but in the end, he did not find anything.
Since this method was not suitable, then he would change to another method.
As he thought about it, he recalled the scene when Daoist Wan Que handed him the jade slip.
Why did he have to turn the thing he gave him into a scroll, and not into a talisman or something else?
Was it simply because this kind of thing was most used by cultivators? He thought that it was not just that, there might be another possibility, and that was that the World Knowing Scroll still had a slight effect on it, so he subconsciously condensed the thing he gave him into this shape.
If this speculation was true, then this item should have an effect on him, but the effect here was very small, and it was very likely that it had already integrated into his Qi activity, so he could not feel it. But if he found this point, and then went back along this line, he might be able to find this item.
With his previous experience, he understood that he shouldn't just focus on one place when dealing with this thing, but he should take care of everything. Thus, he closed his eyes and focused his mind. His Divine Intent instantly extended into the surroundings, past and future, and he tried to sense all the changes in this place.
This train of thought was correct.
Because no matter how fleeting this item was, since it once appeared in the present world and was seen by people who passed by, then it must have some kind of connection with the present world. No matter how small it was, it still existed.
Right now, his cultivation was the highest in the world, and had reached the pinnacle of Dao below the upper realm. Other than involving matters of a higher level, there was almost nothing that could hide from his senses. So very soon, a faintly discernible abnormality appeared in his mind.
He found that this was different from anything he had seen before. It was like a thread woven from mist, very fleeting and blurry. Although he could vaguely feel it, when he stretched out his hand, it seemed to slip through the gaps of his fingers, and he could not truly grasp it.
That should be the trace of this bamboo slip in the present world.
He repeatedly tried to sense it. He always felt that he could obtain it in the next moment, but it also felt like he would never be able to touch it. Fortunately, he was able to sense this, which meant that he was already on the right path. The worst thing to be afraid of was not having a clue. Now that he had a direction, he would definitely be able to think of a solution.
However, just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly discovered that the strand of feeling was becoming weaker and lighter, as if it was about to leave his body.
His gaze sharpened as he came to a realization. If there was no accident, the more this thing focused on it, the further it would be from its host. Moreover, this process was irreversible. Even if it didn't leave him in the end, it was very likely that it would completely disappear.
He calculated for a while. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to rely on that strand of feeling to find the original of this thing, even he would need at least half a day. This also had to take into account that this thing would continue to disappear as he focused on it, and the remaining time was actually not enough to find it.
It was not that there was no way here. He could calm his mind, calm his thoughts, and only use his own Dao technique to find the auspicious location. After that, he would go out to search. If he could find it in one strike, then he would have achieved his goal.
However, if he failed, then he would be sad again and again, and it was difficult to say whether it would cause other variables.
Fortunately, apart from this, he had a better method.
He reached into his sleeve, held the remnant of the jade, and sank his mind into it.
This place could perfectly reproduce every single change on one's body, so there was also the reaction of the jade slip here. Because this reaction was also reflected, it would not interfere with the real thing, nor would it cause it to move away.
In this way, as long as he repeatedly deduced here, he would be able to quickly grasp the key to capturing this thing.
Because he didn't have to think too much about time inside the remnant of the jade, he could calmly do it. After his mind immersed in it for a long time, he gradually understood how to capture that strand of clue.
Because he thought about the possible accidents that might occur, he stayed here for a while longer. Only when he had a solution did he leave.
As soon as his mind came out, he immediately acted according to the method. In the blink of an eye, he caught hold of the joint. Then, he climbed up and stared at it firmly.
After a while, he opened his eyes and held the jade slip in front of his eyes. He saw that the jade slip had returned to its original, ancient, and new contradictory appearance. He had successfully returned it to him.
However, this didn't mean that this item would not disappear. The reason why it appeared before him was because he had temporarily frozen it. However, because his mind was focused on it, this item would gradually fade until it completely disappeared. This was something that couldn't be stopped. Therefore, from this moment on, he had to make full use of his time.
His mind turned, and in an instant, many mysteries of the upper realm appeared in his mind.
But very quickly, he discovered that some of the things he had seen had become blurry, as if he was in the midst of forgetting them. But logically speaking, not to mention a person of his cultivation, even an ordinary cultivator would absolutely not forget what they had seen in the past. This situation seemed to be a bit unusual.
However, he was very calm about this because he could roughly guess the reason.
This was because this thing involved many future changes. If it was derived, it would be endless.
Some of the blurry parts were only because he hadn't met them yet. Once he had a connection with them, he would naturally be able to remember them. As for those that he hadn't met, it meant that they wouldn't happen, so he didn't have to worry too much about them. Right now, he could only try his best to look at the contents within.
Not long after, he felt that the feeling had nearly disappeared. With a change of heart, he didn't let it completely disappear, and instead took the initiative to retract it.
At this moment, he raised his head. His eyes were shining brightly, and there was a flickering light in them.
After looking at the jade slip, he had a rough idea of how to climb to the upper realm.
However, there were some differences between what Daoist Wan Que told him and what he saw now.
This wasn't a deliberate lie, but it might be because when Daoist Wan Que realized that he was holding the World Knowing Jade, this item immediately disappeared. Adding on to the fact that he had forgotten about it, what he saw shouldn't be the entire thing, but just a portion.
Another reason was that after he went to the upper realm, there was a karma connection, which probably triggered some changes.
From this, not only would there be changes in the future, but it was very likely that everyone who tried to climb to the upper realm would encounter different situations.
However, he knew that this was a good thing. Although it looked very different on the surface, it was actually the same thing. There had to be similarities.
Because of this, he once again entered the Spirit Will and carefully analyzed it. Only after everything was sorted out did he come out of his meditation.
He thought about it and thought, "Now that everything is clear, I can try to climb to the upper realm. However, the mysteries of heaven haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid I still have to wait for a period of time."
From the World Knowing Bamboo Slip, after one's cultivation reached perfection, it was not suitable to cross over to the upper realm at any time and place. Here, one also had to pay attention to the laws of fate. This was because the Muddy Heaven was also reflected in the Bu Xu Heaven. When one's senses were the strongest, that was when the laws of fate had arrived.
In the past, Daoist Wan Que didn't read much from the jade slip, so he didn't know about this. This was probably one of the reasons for his failure.
For the next few days, Zhang Yan was calculating the timing of that day. In the end, he calculated that there might be opportunities to be found within half a year. Before he left, he could find a way to settle the matters around him. With a flick of his finger, a spiritual light flew into the lower realm.
Not long after, Jing You came to report, "Master, Shangzhen Liu is here."
Zhang Yan, "Call her in.
Not long after, Liu Yanyi came up to the hall and bowed, "Disciple greets Master."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "How's your cultivation recently?"
Liu Yanyi replied, "With Master's secret teaching, disciple feels that her progress is very fast."
Zhang Yan said, "Bu Xu's spiritual opportunity is limitless, and he has countless treasures. To increase his mana, he only needs to cultivate step by step. However, his cultivation experience cannot be delayed. Most of the bottlenecks in cultivation lie in this. The higher the realm, the more important the cultivation experience is. You must remember this."
Bu Xu Heaven's cultivation was not lacking in external objects. Not to mention external calamities, the only obstacle in cultivation was the various obstacles in cultivation.
However, this place didn't lack external objects, but it was only relatively speaking. It didn't mean that sitting in the door would bring you here. You also didn't need to search around.
Bu Xu Heaven was boundless and all kinds of treasures were widely distributed. There were also countless fierce monsters on the land. Even the cultivators of the Grotto-Heaven had to be careful when traveling. Normal disciples couldn't go far. Even the great cultivators who had severed their mortal bodies had to refine treasures and elixirs by themselves sometimes. Therefore, this was not an easy task.
Liu Yanyi said seriously, "Disciple will follow Master's teachings."
Zhang Yan said, "I have been comprehending Dao recently, and I have caught a glimpse of the fate of the upper state. When the heavenly secret arrives, I will look for the upper state. After I leave, you will be in charge of the Zhao You sect. However, after I entered the human path, there will be quite a number of external Daos outside. In the heavens, there might be hidden secrets. To prevent future chaos, I have left a doppelganger here, and it can ensure the safety of the sect. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go and ask for advice."
Liu Yanyi bowed and said seriously, "Disciple will take good care of Zhao You Sect and wait for Master's return."
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "Take out the Waning Moon Sword Pill."
Liu Yanyi responded. With a move of her mind, she raised the Waning Moon Sword Pill gently and brought it out. In an instant, there were soft and clear waves in the hall.
Zhang Yan pointed with his finger and a ray of light entered the sword pill. He said, "Go back and refine it well. If you keep it right, you will gain something. When you are in danger, you can use it to kill the enemy. It will be effective."
