Zhang Yan suddenly realized that because of the two intents in one body, Shenchang Daoist might know what Shenchang Daoist knew as well. There were some things that Shenchang Daoist didn't want to talk about, but Shenchang Daoist didn't. He could take this opportunity to ask some questions. Thinking about this, he said, "When I was talking with Fellow Zhanyuan, I noticed that he was secretly worried, as if a disaster could come at any time. Do you know the reason?"
Shenchang Daoist asked curiously, "Didn't my brother tell you about this?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Shenchang Daoist, we haven't known each other for a long time. What we talked about was all about Dao, but never about these things."
Shenchang Daoist said proudly, "I know, I know."
Zhang Yan saw him holding his head high as if to ask him questions, and he couldn't help but laugh. He was indeed innocent, but it was also because of this that if he was allowed to go out, Just Now would be the most terrifying. He said, "Then I have to ask."
Shenchang Daoist said with a serious face, "That is because there is a person in the void who doesn't exist yet. If he comes out, he will endanger our fellow Daoists. If we don't have someone to fight against him, we will be destroyed by him and fall into eternal silence. However, if there is no change in the void, then this person may not appear. The reason why Fellow Zhanyuan is worried is that the change has already appeared, and the possibility of this person appearing has greatly increased."
Zhang Yan was deep in thought. The so-called person who had yet to exist was not actually referring to the future, but rather that this person was bound to appear. Moreover, this person was already known by many in the same path. It was just that the opportunity had yet to arrive, so this person had yet to appear in front of others. As for the variable, it was very likely that it was referring to Bu Xutian, who was behind him. This was because the creation essence of this place was very unique, and even the Tai Ming Ancestral Master had left his mark there.
Of course, this was only his conjecture, and there might be something he didn't know, so there was no need to ask. It didn't matter if this was the case or not, as long as the person hadn't appeared yet, there was still enough time to prepare.
He asked again, "If Fellow Daoist is successful, how will you treat your brother?"
Boy Shen Chang was confused and said, "If I succeed, you will walk the righteous path with me. What else do you need?"
Zhang Yan immediately understood. Although the other party's consciousness was divided into self and brother, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with the contract between the two. Perhaps from the other party's point of view, swallowing Priest Shenchang meant that he would be able to walk in the same place as himself. It did not matter whether Priest Shenchang had an independent consciousness or not.
He couldn't help but think that it was impossible to let Shen Chang Boy escape, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing to completely suppress Shen Chang Boy.
It could be seen that Shenchang Daoist himself did not have much confidence in this matter. Therefore, after the two consciousnesses merged into one, there was no guarantee that the master would control the body. In the end, Shenchang Daoist's consciousness would have the upper hand, and that would be very inappropriate.
The only thing they could do now was to maintain the status quo and strike a balance between the two. Just Now was the best.
Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Boy Shen Chang moved forward a little, raised his head and stared at him with his eyes wide open.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of person Fellow Daoist is summoning."
Boy Shen Chang bit his finger again, grunted and said, "He looks a bit like Big Brother."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment. What he meant was not that the person looked like Priest Shenchang, but that both of them were transformed from the Treasure Spirit of Creation. Therefore, they were similar in nature. It was even possible that the person was the same as Priest Shenchang, a person who followed his own nature and pursued his own Dao. He asked again, "Then when will he come?"
Boy Shen Chang shook his head and said, "I don't know. I am only summoning him. Whether he comes or not, I have no control over it."
Zhang Yan said, "Since he has not come, have you not thought of changing to another person?"
Boy Shen Chang frowned and showed a distressed expression. He said, "I can't find a suitable person."
Zhang Yan asked a few more questions and understood that Boy Shen Chang could only find someone who had the same level of mana and cultivation as him. That way, it would be easier for Zhang Yan to devour. However, from another perspective, the person who could be summoned was naturally the most suitable. If the person's cultivation was too high, it would be difficult to deal with the person.
Boy Shen Chang suddenly twitched his mouth and said, "Big brother is coming out." Then, he sat down obediently and hugged his knees with his two little hands.
After a while, the Qi dynamic on his body changed again. As a ray of light flashed, he returned to his original appearance of Priest Shenchang. However, he looked tired. He looked up at Zhang Yan and asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you seen that person?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I have. How are you?"
He could see that the reason why Priest Shenchang could replace Boy Shen Chang so quickly was because he had forcibly used the power of the seal that was set up beforehand. He was actually fighting against himself. Otherwise, with his endless mana, he would not have ended up like this.
Priest Shenchang straightened out his Qi dynamic and stood up. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern. It's just a small trick. It won't be a big deal." Then, he looked up and said with some anticipation, "Since you have seen that person, you should know that what I said is true. I wonder if you are willing to help me now?"
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "I think that what you have thought is not a good choice."
Priest Shenchang was startled, but he did not get angry. He raised his hand and asked seriously, "May I ask why?"
When he discussed the Dao earlier, he'd noticed that even though Zhang Yan's cultivation was inferior to his, but because Zhang Yan's ability was obtained through his own cultivation and not a gift from the heavens, Zhang Yan's understanding of the Dao was much deeper and more thorough than his own in certain aspects. So Chen Xi didn't dare disregard Zhang Yan's opinion.
Zhang Yan mentioned some of the key points that he had considered. Other than the biggest problem of not having a clear consciousness, he was also unsure if Shenchang Daoist's enlightenment of Bu Xu would bring about the advancement of Shenchang Daoist's cultivation.
Priest Shenchang sighed. He had considered this before, but after discussing it with Priest Zhanyuan, he believed that Boy Shen Chang's cultivation would improve very quickly. As the advantage accumulated and expanded, he would eventually be unable to suppress him. This threat was right in front of him, so he had to take the risk. However, after listening to Zhang Yan's words, it seemed that there was another solution.
He asked tentatively, "Then what does Fellow Daoist think?"
Zhang Yan said, "I think that Fellow Daoist should maintain the current situation and not overpower either side."
Priest Shenchang said with a serious expression, "It's not that I don't want to, but that one's cultivation is already higher than mine. If I don't think of a solution in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I think that Fellow Daoist is worrying too much. That one's cultivation will not improve for no reason. After interacting with him, I believe that he swallowed a Primordial Treasure Spirit. Now that he is still improving, it should be because he hasn't used up all his energy. When the energy is exhausted and he doesn't have a chance to swallow it, this situation will not happen again. "
Priest Shenchang was a little surprised. Then, he seemed to think of something and began to calculate. After a while, he sighed and said, "I see. I have overlooked this."
After his explanation, Zhang Yan learned that after the Good Fortune Essence shattered, not all of the Treasure Spirits were able to manifest. In fact, most of the Treasure Spirits didn't even have the chance to be born. They were only treasured embryos that became food for the Treasure Spirits that manifested.
Shenchang Daoist had also obtained one in his early years, but he did not walk this path, so he only sealed it somewhere. Presumably, it was this one that was devoured by Shenchang Daoist. The reason why he did not think about it was because after he chose another path, he was afraid that he would unknowingly walk the same old path, so he covered up his memories of this matter. But now, with Zhang Yan's reminder, these thoughts resurfaced in his heart.
He sighed and said, "I have been too careless. Just Now, I have given him a chance. If he really managed to escape, it would be a great sin."
Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist, in order to stop that one from coming out, you did not hesitate to trap yourself. What is your sin? Now, Fellow Daoist only needs to wait until that one's cultivation stops improving, then you can pass this trial. "
Priest Shenchang smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on until then."
Zhang Yan said, "If Fellow Daoist can't suppress it by yourself, why don't you find someone to help?"
Priest Shenchang said awkwardly, "This is very difficult to do. We can only rely on ourselves. If we ask for help from others, even if their mana comes, they may clash with each other. Even Fellow Daoist Zhanyuan can't stay in my Peaceful World for long. Otherwise, that one wouldn't have had the chance to swallow the baby."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since I said so, I naturally have a solution." He opened his palm and called out in his heart. In a flash, the image of a dazzling golden pearl appeared out of thin air.
"This is the Taiyi Golden Pearl, and it was born from a place that contains the essence of creation. It can be said to be from the same source as Fellow Daoist, yet it possesses boundless might, and it's even capable of carrying external forces. This humble Daoist can lend this treasure to Fellow Daoist, and it doesn't matter whether Fellow Daoist uses it to suppress or borrow its strength."
Priest Shenchang was pleasantly surprised and said, "I've seen Fellow Daoist use this treasure in battle, but I didn't know it was also born from the Land of Creation."
Zhang Yan smiled. The Taiyi Golden Pearl's consciousness had long been erased by him, and it was also tainted by his aura. Unless it was someone who fought against him, it would be difficult to recognize it, and they would only think that it was refined from an ordinary Creation Fragment.
He shook his sleeve and removed the shadow of the golden pearl. This was only a shadow, and without Priest Shenchang's permission, he could not summon this treasure into his body.
Priest Shenchang was much more relaxed now. If he had this treasure to help him suppress it, then he could indeed hold on for a long time. A treasure refined from an ordinary Creation Fragment would be useless to him, but the Taiyi Golden Pearl was different. Fundamentally speaking, it was no different from him, but it could be of great help to him.
Zhang Yan said, "The only variable now is the fellow daoist that one summoned. At this moment, it is difficult to know whether he is a friend or a foe, and I don't know if he will come alone. To be safe, Fellow Daoist should plan ahead."
