Daoist Quan Lai was startled, "This, immortal elder … why do you want to go to the Forgotten Mountain?" He looked at the jade plate, "Is there something wrong with this item?"
Wan Guang said, "It's not that. It's just that there's something special about this item. The map I is also hard to decipher. Perhaps the grandmaster could see some clues and wanted to bring it to the grandmaster to have a look. Are you willing to do so?"
Daoist Quan Lai was also eager to find the location of his sect. Moreover, it was impossible for the Grand Supreme to covet his item. Hence, he said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you then. I'll go with you after I make some arrangements."
He found another disciple named Quan An and told him about the matter. He then followed Wan Guang to the Forgotten Mountain.
Wan Guang cast a spell and in a moment, they arrived at the boundary. They got off the conveyance light and headed up the mountain. Daoist Quan Lai couldn't help but ask, "Immortal elder, is this item related to the Forgotten Mountain?"
Wan Guang said, "I'm not sure about this. You'll know when you meet the grandmaster."
Quan Lai nodded and said, "Alright."
He was a little excited. The Taishang Daoist Ancestor was untainted by thousands of tribulations and had an eternal life. In his mind, his cultivation was perfect. Other than the True Immortals under the Taishang Sect, no one else was lucky enough to meet him.
The two arrived at the peak of the mountain. After reporting to the Daoist Palace, a boy called them in.
Daoist Quan Lai followed Wan Guang to the grand hall. When he looked up, he saw a black-robed Daoist sitting on the jade platform. Under the illumination of the clear Qi and mysterious light, there was a five-colored divine radiance rotating behind him. It was impossible to see clearly. He knew that this was the Taishang Daoist Ancestor. He quickly went forward and bowed, "I'm Daoist Quan Lai. Greetings, Grand Supreme."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Mountain Master Quan Lai, there's no need to stand on ceremony. I know about you. I invited you here today because your grandmaster might be related to me."
Quan Lai was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that his Founding Ancestor would be related to the Grand Supreme. He was surprised and terrified at the same time, "This, this, Little Daoist …" After a while, he seemed to have come to his senses. He slapped his head and raised the jade plate in his hand, "Grand Supreme, the jade plate passed down by my Founding Ancestor is here, please take a look."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. His gaze fell on it, and the item slowly floated in front of him. He stared at it for a moment, intending to watch it pass by, but all he saw was darkness, and he couldn't help but be moved.
He then stretched out his finger and pointed at it. Layers of halos appeared above it. After a brief examination, he was sure that although this item was not a Primordial Treasure, its origin was not simple. It had already transcended the hindrance of the present world and could reflect itself into the present world like a Deity Refinement Almighty. Therefore, what he saw was an existence similar to the consciousness of the Deity Refinement Almighty. In other words, it was a reflection.
The real body of this item was still in the void.
Now that it was reflected in the present world, it must have been attracted by something.
From his senses and Daoist Quan Lai's cultivation method, this jade plate was indeed related to the Great Underworld Grandmaster.
However, there was a question. Was this item left behind by the Great Underworld Grandmaster on purpose, or was it simply because of the karmic connection that it was attracted here?
He thought about it carefully and felt that the latter was more likely.
This was because other than the Deity Refinement Almighty, no one else could see the real face of this item. Moreover, the Great Underworld Grandmaster did not have to do so. Even if he wanted to leave something for his disciples, he had more options. For example, when he guided him to look for the Mystic Stone, it would at least point him in the right direction. However, there was nothing here. It was more like it was accidentally left outside.
Of course, there might be unexpected situations.
As he thought about this, he could not help but think about the scene that the fragment showed.
As for the Grandmaster that Daoist Quan Lai mentioned, it was very likely that he was a disciple of the Great Underworld Grandmaster. That was why he had the image of this item.
Therefore, he looked at Daoist Quan Lai and observed his past to see if he could find any clues.
If there was a Deity Refinement Almighty behind him, or someone who was more powerful than him, then he would definitely not be able to see much.
It was like if someone wanted to observe his disciples, then the deeper the relationship with him, the harder it would be for him to observe. If it was an ordinary disciple, he would still be able to see some intermittent scenes.
If he probed deeper, he might even be alerted.
However, it would be best if he alerted the Great Underworld Grandmaster. It would save him a lot of trouble.
He soon saw the scene of his master accepting him into the sect. Then, he saw the scene of his master accepting him as a disciple. From generation to generation, everything was still vivid in his mind.
Not long after, he saw the first Dao inheritance. He saw a young man kowtowing. In front of him stood the shadow of a Daoist, and beneath his feet was a jade plate that was exactly the same as the one in his hand.
Zhang Yan saw this and nodded slightly. He had already figured out the sequence of events.
In reality, the Grandmaster Quan Lai did not really exist. To be precise, he did not exist in this current world. He was someone from another current world.
He was originally holding the jade plate, and accidentally triggered a trace of the item's mysteriousness. Thus, he was able to entrust his Divine Will into the item. Because the jade plate existed in many current worlds, when he created this current world, due to the connection of karma, a projection was reflected in this world. Perhaps due to coincidence, the Divine Will was also brought in.
Thus, this strand of Divine Will passed down this lineage of Dao.
However, he was only a Divine Will after all. His cultivation was limited, so he did not know where he was. He only knew that the jade plate was the key. Thus, he passed down a map on it and left some instructions. He hoped that one day, his disciples would be fortunate enough to meet someone who was related to his sect and use this opportunity to find him.
Zhang Yan's heart moved. A strand of his consciousness came out and walked in front of the Daoist's shadow. He asked, "May I know who your sect is?"
The Daoist figure just looked at him blankly, but didn't say anything.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but shake his head. There was a limit to how much the Divine Will could carry. Moreover, the Patriarch might be involved, so it was hard for him to see more. Thus, he retracted his consciousness and allowed the past to dissipate.
He looked at the jade plate in front of him again. The map on it was useless to him. As long as he could find the world where that Daoist originally existed, it would not be difficult to find the location of that sect. However, it was hard to say if he would only be able to find this sect or if he would be able to find the Great Underworld Ancestral Master.
However, it was still a clue. He pondered for a moment and said to Daoist Quan Lai who was waiting below the jade platform, "Mountain Chieftain Quan Lai, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to find the original sect."
Daoist Quan Lai was startled, "Why? Could it be …"
Zhang Yan said, "It's not that there's something wrong with the sect. There's something strange about this place. With your cultivation base, it's hard for you to find the location of the sect."
Daoist Quan Lai couldn't help but feel a little dejected. He thought that it was because his cultivation base was not up to par, which was why the sect could not accept him. However, he also knew that it was impossible for him to improve after cultivating for so long. His wish of paying respects to the Patriarch of the sect might not be fulfilled in this lifetime.
He hesitated for a moment and suddenly prostrated himself on the ground. He bowed deeply and said, "Can you please tell me the name of my Patriarch and the name of the sect? Even if I can't find the sect, I can still tell my disciples about the origin of the heritage. In the future, I can also have a worshiper in the Hall of Patriarchs."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. It was not an unreasonable request. Moreover, he borrowed the jade plate from Daoist Quan Lai, so he should return the favor. Thus, he said, "Please wait patiently. I'll tell you once I'm done investigating."
Daoist Quan Lai heard this and bowed deeply again, "Thank you, Grand Elder."
Zhang Yan didn't speak anymore. Danguang knew what was going on and walked to Daoist Quan Lai's side. He said, "Daoist friend Quan Lai, I'm afraid the Patriarch is going to cast his spell later. We'll take our leave first."
Daoist Quan Lai agreed, stood up and bowed before leaving with Danguang.
Zhang Yan waited for the both of them to leave. Then, he used the jade plate in his hand to try to find its original location.
In the eyes of the original, countless ups and downs of the present world flashed by in an instant. After a long time, he gradually found out the location of the original by relying on the reflection of the item.
However, when he was about to find it, he raised his brows. Due to the disturbance of the Spirit Enhancement Weili outside, the jade plate actually broke away from his senses.
It wasn't impossible to grab it by force. With his mana, he only needed to push the Weili away. However, if he did that, Daoist Zhou would definitely notice his actions. He might even notice what he was looking for. If he got it before Daoist Zhou did, it wouldn't be worth it. Therefore, he could only take it slow.
Among these, he had to be careful. Although Daoist Zhou retreated the last time, he definitely wouldn't give up the chance to enter Bu Xu Heaven. It was just that he didn't know when he would come looking for him again. It wouldn't be good if he dragged this matter out for too long.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment before he allowed his main body to continue searching for the jade plate. Meanwhile, he took out the fragment and transferred his consciousness into it.
At this moment, in a trance, he realized that he seemed to have sunk into an empty place. However, before he could comprehend it in detail, he returned to where he was a moment later. Even if he tried to probe deeper, he would at most repeat what he sensed before. There wouldn't be any additional changes.
He nodded and understood the reason. It was because this item was only a fragment, so it was difficult for him to comprehend more from it.
As for Daoist Zhou, because he had been searching for this item for a long time, it was possible that he had a lot of it. He was a person of virtue. If they worked together, it was possible that they could comprehend this item together. If that was the case, then the gains here wouldn't be small. They might just be missing an opportunity to peek into a more profound realm. Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't find Bu Xu Heaven.
