Zhang Yan's consciousness once again entered Bu Xu Tian. This time, it was not only to comprehend the mysteries and improve his cultivation, but also to find a way to control this domain. Only then could he fight against the enemies from the outside.
However, after immersing himself for a long time, just like the last time, he felt as if he was facing an ocean of chaos. His thoughts and consciousness could float up and down, but if he wanted to make it his own, he was unable to do so, and it always seemed empty and powerless.
Ever since he achieved True Yang, most things could be done with just a thought. It had been a long time since he had such a feeling.
After an unknown amount of time, he still could not find a clue. He knew that this was not a solution, so he slowly withdrew and began to think.
Just like how he could borrow Bu Xu Tian's Weili to a certain extent by looking into the depths of Bu Xu Tian, he believed that there must be a key here. As long as he controlled this place, he could control the entire Bu Xu Tian.
Just Now, his consciousness wandered for a long time and searched deeper, but he still could not find it. He even felt a certain amount of pressure.
From this situation, it seemed that his cultivation was not enough. Although he could sink in, he was still lacking from finding the thing.
If he wanted to do this, it seemed that he first needed to improve his cultivation.
If there was no other way, then he could only try to find more fragments of the essence of creation or work on his own cultivation. Fortunately, Bu Xu Tian was different. It was where the essence of creation was, so as long as he guarded this place, he would naturally be able to do this. It could be said that there was no delay in either.
Thus, like before, he focused on comprehending the mysteries and allowed the various truths of the Great Dao to reflect on himself. However, he did not dare to immerse too deeply. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately withdraw, purify, and then repeat the process again.
As he diligently cultivated, his cultivation also increased. However, after sensing and calculating, he was still very far from controlling Bu Xu Tian. Although there was no past or future in Bu Xu Tian, after withdrawing his consciousness, it would take time to understand the truths of the Great Dao. Although it was safe now, it did not mean that there would be no trouble. If he delayed for even a moment, it would give the enemies who were looking for Bu Xu Tian more opportunities.
He pondered, "Could it be that I really have to enter with my real body in order to enjoy great benefits?"
This was an extremely great temptation. If he were to enter, then the next time he came out, he might be able to fight against all of his peers.
However, he was extremely vigilant towards this in his heart. Because if he were to enter it, then the slightest mistake would cause him to be unable to circulate and comprehend the truths of the Grand Dao in time. Thus, he would be passively fused into it, and he wouldn't be himself anymore. Moreover, he kept having the feeling that something was slightly off here.
After thinking for a while, he decided to stop his cultivation for the time being. Instead, he would deduce and see if there were any areas that he had overlooked.
After carefully deducing for a long time, he finally found the problem.
If he entered directly, he would be protected by Bu Xutian, but he would also be restricted by him. First of all, entering and leaving would not be easy.
In the past, when he broke through the barrier of the world to enter the Inner Realm, it would take years or even decades. Now that he had to face Bu Xutian, he would have to face the same situation. Although there would be no past or future when he comprehended here, he would still be delayed when he wanted to leave. Most importantly, if he didn't make it out in time, he would be completely lost in this place.
However, he also thought that since the Azure Saint dared to say that he needed to enter the Inner Realm to hide, then perhaps he wouldn't be affected by the Azure Saint. However, it was also possible that the treasure on his body could protect him.
Thinking about this, he thought, "It seems like I can only try to pass the Inner Realm first and see if I can enter with my real body."
However, the problem was that it was too slow to rely on just comprehending the essence of creation. That was why he believed that he could only focus on seeking his own path in order to increase his cultivation in the shortest amount of time.
He immediately split off a sliver of his consciousness and began to observe his own body.
The way to seek one's own path was to rely on oneself and look forward to the grand dao.
However, this was not something that could be done out of thin air. If one couldn't find the right direction, then even if one could increase their cultivation, the increase would be minimal. Only by finding the right path could one increase their cultivation.
If there was a comparison, the former was like scattering one's power aimlessly. Although it was boundless, the harvest was very small. The latter was concentrating one's power in one place and moving in one direction. This way, the results would quickly be seen.
However, at the same time, all the obstacles in seeking one's own path came from one's self. If one's cultivation was not firm enough, then it was likely that they would frequently encounter obstacles in the future. Once they couldn't get past them, they would begin to doubt themselves, and their cultivation would likely never increase again.
That was why one couldn't be too eager for quick success. One had to know one's own strength and always be clear about one's own path.
It was no wonder that Daoist Zhanyuan and the Yao Han Ancestor chose to seek one of the two paths instead of cultivating both. This was not only because the two paths seemed different on the surface, but it was also to avoid more variables during cultivation.
However, he believed that clinging to a single path was a kind of fear in itself. It was the persistence of one's Dao heart that led to the dangers of the path later on. It was not the other way around.
As long as one had the right Dao heart, these could be avoided.
For example, Qing Sheng's Dao heart was to cut off all external objects.
Yao Han and the others sought external help, but the Dao heart was to regain the essence of creation and reopen the door to the grand dao.
The path he chose was different from the two, so what should his Dao heart be?
He couldn't help but think of the time when he entered the Heavenly Cave. In order to create a method that didn't require external objects, this method could actually be regarded as seeking one's own self. But even if one didn't need external objects to cultivate, living in the world, one couldn't do without external needs. Therefore, abandoning external objects was not absolute. It was just to get rid of a certain aspect of the shackles and find a better way out. Fundamentally speaking, as long as one didn't transcend, there wasn't much difference.
As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, his thoughts suddenly straightened out, and he felt that the path ahead was a little clearer.
If there was self, then there was existence. If there was outside, then there was the Dao. His own Dao heart should be the same as the Dao.
Once the Dao heart was established, there was a clear path to follow and there were no doubts ahead.
He no longer hesitated. He began to observe himself and began to improve his cultivation from another direction.
Just as he was cultivating, his disciple, Wei Zihong, was coming to Xuanyuan Heaven.
Before Zhang Yan said that he was searching for the upper realm, he had left a doppelganger in the world. Therefore, in the eyes of the disciples, although he had gone to seek the upper realm, it felt like he hadn't really left.
If there was nothing important, the disciples wouldn't come to disturb him. But not long ago, several sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm, including Qincang School, had suddenly experienced some unpredictable strange phenomena. The upper echelons of the sects still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan, a True Yang expert, was overseeing things, so they could ask for help. Therefore, they asked Wei Zihong to come and ask about this matter.
Not long after, Wei Zihong arrived in front of the main hall of Qinghuan Palace. As soon as he landed, he saw Jing You standing there. He stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Senior Brother Jing, is Master here?"
Jing You smiled. "Master knows that Senior Brother Wei is coming, so he specially ordered me to wait here."
Wei Zihong said, "I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Jing."
But at this time, he suddenly sensed that Jing You's aura seemed to be very different from before, as if he wasn't a member of this world. He didn't think too much about it. Jing You was his Master's personal attendant, so he should be able to get some benefits.
He stepped into the hall and saw Zhang Yan sitting on the jade platform. He stepped forward and bowed. "Disciple pays his respects to Master."
Zhang Yan smiled. "Dispense with the formalities. Disciple has come today for something else."
Wei Zihong bowed and said, "Reporting to Master, disciple has come to ask for Master's help. The memorial tablets of the three sects, Qincang, Shaoqing, and Netherworld, all shook at the same time. However, the Sect Masters and Elders couldn't figure out the reason, so they asked disciple to come and ask why there was such a strange phenomenon."
Zhang Yan listened and fell into deep thought. Nothing in the world could be hidden from him, especially such a change. But in order to deal with the attack of Ancestor Yao Han and the others, to ensure that the karma wasn't stolen too much, he purposely cut off the connection with the present world and didn't ask too much. In reality, if there weren't people in the present world, he wouldn't care too much about it.
But now that he heard about it, he had a feeling that it might be because he was comprehending Bu Xu's genius. He calculated in his heart, but it was a blur in front of him.
He thought for a while and didn't continue to pursue the matter.
The Patriarchs and the unfathomable owner of the Devil Treasury should have made some arrangements on the nine continents that day, and it might have involved Bu Xu. But from his point of view, it wasn't as simple as pouring his consciousness into the present world.
And these almighty beings wouldn't make such arrangements for no reason. If the time wasn't right, it was best not to take the initiative, or it might cause some undesirable changes.
He said, "I understand. When you go back, you can tell the leaders of the sects that this matter is not a problem. Tell them not to worry."
Wei Zihong said yes. Now that the matter was over, he asked for guidance on the Dao.
After half a month of questioning, his doubts were all resolved, and he left.
But when he came out, he suddenly found that his Master was different from what he had seen before. His Master's Qi was more mysterious, but he didn't notice it at all.
He stopped and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Jing, is Master already …"
Jing You looked at him, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Master has returned, but there is a problem now, so it's not time to tell him. It's better if only Shangzhen knows."
Wei Zihong's heart trembled. He took a deep breath and looked back at the Holy Zhi Palace. He did not expect his Master to have made it this far. He was both surprised and excited. At the same time, he felt a sense of heaviness in his heart. Something that could make someone of his Master's level of cultivation need to be treated with caution must not be something simple. He cupped his hands at Jing You and went to the lower worlds.
