Zhang Yan looked at the various changes in the present world. He secretly calculated his opportunities and searched for people who could destroy the karma he had set up.
However, even though he had chosen one person, because of the other party's will entrusted to him, the person who came into being was not simple. He might not be able to achieve his goal. Thus, he was prepared to choose another person if he failed the first time.
However, such a figure had to be a hero amongst men, or possess great fortuitous encounters, or stand above their peers in order to compete with them.
Because of karma, the world he saw was extremely similar to the world he came from, and if it was in terms of familiarity with the matters of this world, he would definitely not be able to compare to him.
Spirit Refinement almighty beings could see the past and the future in an instant. This wasn't a problem, but in order to reach Bu Xu Heaven, Ancestor Yao Han and the other two couldn't predict every future. They could only let the world run on its own. This was what it meant to leave behind a sliver of heaven's will. If the future was predetermined, then Bu Xu Heaven wouldn't appear.
The reason why he didn't choose to use his previous body this time was because he had been dealing with Patriarch Yao Han. Patriarch Yao Han had focused all of his energy on dealing with him, and only a small portion of his energy had been used to open up the real world. It was already not easy for Patriarch Yao Han to maintain control of the real world, and he could only grasp a general direction. It was impossible for him to constantly pay attention to what was happening in the real world. But this time was different. With three people here, they could see everything that was happening in the real world.
His previous self was connected by karma to him, so he couldn't be seen by his peers. Similarly, since they couldn't see him, then at the same time, his previous self naturally didn't exist.
Of course, if this person didn't pay attention to him, his previous self would still appear. However, if it was just an existence like this, it would no longer be as useful as before.
Although the three of them did not know the reason for Founding Ancestor Yao Han's previous failure, they knew that as long as they kept an eye on him, he would be able to survive. That way, even if there were any loopholes, they could be plugged in time, so there was no chance here.
The first person he could reach was Lu Ge. However, because of the owner of the Demonic Treasury, there was no way to reflect this item in this world. Even if he could imitate this technique, he was not a good candidate. Hence, he chose Feng Hai Yang.
Ancestor Yao Han said, "Just Now with the disturbance caused by the golden bead, Daoist Zhang has most likely sneaked in. If we can't find him, he will become an obstacle to the person we choose."
He could be sure that Zhang Yan was also preparing to use someone connected by karma to stop them, but he didn't know who it was.
Although that person would definitely jump out to deal with the person they had chosen, it would already be too late to make a move when he appeared. If they could kill him in advance, they would be able to eliminate this threat.
Daoist Yu Qiu also sighed and said, "I originally wanted to play the chess piece at the beginning of the world's creation, but after this move, it's difficult for me."
Originally, he wanted to start making arrangements from Just Now, but doing so would involve more people, and the karma he would steal would be less, so he could only carefully maintain it. However, with the collision of the Taiyi Golden Bead, the past and the future were thrown into chaos, and his plan was completely disrupted. Many opportunities were lost inexplicably.
In order to blur the truth and falsehood, they used the sapling this time, so they couldn't destroy this world and start over again. Now, they could only follow the development of the world and continuously kill those who stood in their way.
Daoist Yu Qiu said in a low voice, "No matter what that Daoist Zhang is planning, as long as we can expel his consciousness that has fallen into the world, even if our plan fails for a moment, we won't be able to stop the general trend."
Daoist Yu Qiu said, "But those two have also interfered."
Daoist Yu Qiu nodded and said, "I've already expected that. We just need to find a way to expel it and cut off its roots."
Although the two of them had accepted the exchange of fragments, they had never actually agreed not to interfere with their affairs. They also never asked for anything, because they knew that it was useless.
Fortunately, they had thought of this beforehand, so they used the fragments to split the heart of this generation. So now, they couldn't go all out like them. They thought that if they worked together, they would be able to expel it. But without this, whether it was Zhang Yan or those two of the same generation, all their remaining methods would naturally be useless.
The three of them made up their minds and immediately channeled their techniques together, preparing to chase Zhang Yan and the two Supreme Dharmic powers out.
At first, they thought that it would not be difficult. However, what surprised them was that when they pressed forward, they actually stopped the three people in front of them with their mana. Among them, Zhang Yan used most of the power. This meant that his mana level had increased again after that battle.
The other two were trying to comprehend the fragment, so although they couldn't pour their full strength into it, they were still able to provide some assistance. However, it was this indiscernible bit of assistance that was able to stop them.
Patriarch Yao Han made some calculations. In the end, they still had a high chance of winning. But the problem was that if the battle dragged on, there would be too many variables. The most troublesome thing was that as the two sides clashed, Zhang Yan would be able to gain more from them. Although it wouldn't be as deep as a direct clash, it would still be a hindrance to them.
Patriarch Yao Han said, "This kind of delay isn't reasonable. We need to resolve this as soon as possible.
Daoist Jade Leak and Daoist Yu Qiu agreed. However, the clash of mana was the most fundamental manifestation of both sides' strength. There was no shortcut, so they couldn't find a good solution for now.
Just as they were thinking of a solution, the three of them suddenly felt that something was wrong. They suddenly discovered that there was a strand of consciousness that shone in, but it only lasted for a moment. They didn't know if it had truly retreated or if it was just hiding here.
What made the three of them feel that something was wrong was that they couldn't identify who this strand of consciousness came from.
Daoist Jade Leak hurriedly tried to calculate, but he couldn't find anything.
Patriarch Yao Han frowned. "This might be the remnant consciousness of a fellow Daoist from back then. It's normal that we can't identify it."
The matters of the Nine Continents back then involved too many things, so he didn't want to say too much. He even suspected that this might be the reason why the Taiyi Golden Bead could so easily disrupt the past and the future Just Now.
Daoist Yu Qiu said, "You two, could it be that person?"
Patriarch Yao Han shook his head. "You worry too much. If it really is that person, we won't be able to detect it."
Zhang Yan had also sensed this strange change, and deduced that the consciousness of another member of the same generation had entered. However, this was a projection created by Founding Ancestor Yao Han and the others, so if there were any external influences, it would be a matter of concern. Moreover, the more external influences there were, the heavier the burden on the members of the same generation would be, so he was happy to see this.
His gaze moved back to the present world. In his eyes, this was still a sapling that was growing. When it finished evolving, the result would appear.
Just now, when the Taiyi Golden Bead blasted into this place, it had shaken the foundation, but it was quickly stabilized by the other three. He couldn't help but ponder. If he could find a way from here, he could destroy the entire world. Even if it was difficult to do, it didn't stop him from putting on a threatening appearance and drawing in some of their attention. There was another use in doing this: he could force out the other party's hidden trump cards in advance.
He was sure that the three of them most likely had some kind of treasure in their hands, but they had been hiding it all this time. If he could activate it in advance, he could disrupt the other party's plan.
Thinking of this, he summoned the Taiyi Golden Bead again, but it seemed to be on the verge of falling.
Patriarch Yao Han and the others immediately felt threatened. Just Now, they had seen the power of the bead, and they couldn't ignore it.
Patriarch Yao Han said, "At this point, we can only use our treasures."
Daoist Yu Qiu nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you, Fellow Daoist."
The two of them did indeed have Dharma treasures hidden on them, but they were not meant to be used against Zhang Yan. Instead, they were meant to be used against others. It should be known that the three of them had enemies other than the two whom they had temporarily stabilized with the Good Fortune Fragment. There were also threats from other places.
Especially the aura that had suddenly appeared and vanished just now, it even caused them to have a trace of doubt in their hearts.
If they took out all of their treasures now and were seen by the other party, it would be equivalent to losing one of their hidden trump cards. Moreover, these treasures were only for protection. The two sides were fighting in the present world, not face to face. So even if they brought out all of their treasures, it wouldn't affect the battle much.
Patriarch Yao Han shook his sleeve, and a golden lotus flew out. It floated in the air, ready to block the Taiyi Golden Bead if it fell again.
As expected, the moment this treasure appeared, the pressure on the three lessened, and their magic power began to circulate.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan could guess what was going on. Because the two sides were in a stalemate, no one could overwhelm the other. So he turned his gaze back to the present world.
In the Netherworld Spring Sect, after Feng Haiyang saw the future in the Fixed Middle View, he knew that he would be killed by Zhou Zhi in the future. Many things appeared in his mind. Some were fragments of the future, and some were cultivation methods. However, these things weren't beyond his understanding, so he was still suspicious of the future.
There were many methods in the Spirit Gate that could change one's mind, so he couldn't be sure who was plotting against him.
The only thing that could prove this was the future that hadn't happened yet.
At the same time, he tried to find out the secrets of the Yuxiao school through various channels, but there was no news about Zhou Zhi. It was as if he had never existed.
However, even if it was an extremely ordinary disciple of the Zhou clan from the Jadesky Sect, the spies of the Netherspring Sect would still be able to find him. But now, he had disappeared without a trace. Either this person really didn't exist in the world, or he was hidden.
In the following days, he didn't act rashly, and his actions were as usual.
It wasn't until two years later that he personally went to the Fixed Middle View to investigate the things he saw and found that the results didn't match the memories in his mind. Only then did he believe it.
In those fragments of the future, he could faintly see that the Yuxiao school had a shocking plan, and the key to it was the Yuxiao disciple named Zhou Zhi.
Because the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects was in a year, he believed that since this person was so important, he would definitely appear at the Sword Competition Assembly. At that time, he would see this person, and as long as he killed him, he would be able to stop this plan. After understanding this, he continued to focus on cultivation.
