Shenchang and Zain Yuan discussed with Zhang Yan for a while. They believed that they still needed to guard against this person's return. However, this person had the ability to conceal his mana, which was tantamount to cutting off the possibility of them joining forces.
If this person still had lingering thoughts in the Void, then the next time he came, it would not be Zhang Yan, but the two of them. In that case, they might not be able to resist. Therefore, they needed a way to break this restraint, but they also had to be able to fight back.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and came up with an idea. He opened his palm and pulled out two strands of Bushtian Weili that he had refined. They turned into two Jade Talisman and said, "The two of you can carry these things with you. If this person comes again, I can use them to help you."
As long as Shen Chang and Zhai Yuan had this thing with them, he would be able to track them down without needing to sense their Qi activity or mana. Even if the enemy tried to isolate them, it would be useless.
And with these things, if this person sent more Lingering Thoughts to this place, he would not be able to do anything to them.
This was because the Treasure of Lingering Thoughts was usually related to the essence of creation. If it did not belong to this category, there was usually no way to carry the consciousness of the Spirit Refinement Almighty. But Just Now Douzhan had proved that this kind of thing alone could be easily restrained by the Bushtian Weili.
The only thing to worry about was that the opponent was coming.
But the Bushtian Weili itself was endless, so even if there was only one strand of Weili with them, they could use it to attract more. But he still needed to do it himself.
Shenchang and Zain Yuan did not know what it was, but seeing that Zhang Yan did not explain, they did not ask any more questions and took the Jade Beads. Seeing that there was nothing left to do here, the two of them thanked him and bade farewell.
Taoist Shenchang, however, was a step behind Taoist Zhanyuan. After the latter left, he turned around and said, "Fellow Taoist, I've Just Now done some calculations in my mind, and there are indeed signs of that existence appearing a little earlier than expected. That Faceless Taoist's words are not entirely nonsense. Don't be careless, Fellow Taoist." With that, he cupped his hands and left.
Zhang Yan's eyes were deep and serene. He knew that Faceless Taoist's words could not be nonsense, because after he confirmed it, it already had some kind of truth. What's more, Shenchang Taoist and the others had chosen to believe it to a certain extent, at least they did not completely deny it.
As a result, even if this wasn't the case in the beginning, as more and more alchemists started to believe in it, it would slowly turn into the truth, and this in turn would push this matter forward.
Just like now. Previously, he was unable to detect that existence, but now he could vaguely sense it.
This was probably not only because of the improvement of his cultivation, but also because his fellow Taoists believed so, which made this statement one step further into the truth.
Unless he had a way to reverse the perception of all his peers, he could not change this situation. But if he had such an ability, he would not have to worry about this person.
He thought about it carefully. According to Faceless Taoist's words, the higher one's cultivation, the easier it would be to attract that existence. Therefore, the most reasonable situation should be that the existence would not allow anyone with a higher cultivation to appear. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the existence to come out. And when a cultivator's cultivation gradually approached that existence, it might be the time for the existence to come out.
But no matter what, since he could not stop this person from coming, he could only choose to face it. It was absolutely wrong to retreat and be conservative, for it would be equivalent to giving the opponent the right to choose.
While he was thinking, he felt waves of magic power, and knew that more guests had arrived.
He looked up and saw two Taoists coming together. It was Taoist Quan Dao and Taoist Zhanyuan.
These two were originally comprehending the Great Dao, but suddenly noticed that Zhang Yan's magic power was fading and hiding, and immediately realized that this was a sign of the past stubbornness. At this moment, the two were also threatened by that existence. After learning of Bu Xutian's existence, they very much wanted to seek protection from him. But looking at Zhang Yan's situation, it was obvious that he was coming down to open up the world. If they did not see him now, it would be very difficult to find him after he succeeded, so they hurriedly came to find him.
The Taoist standing on the left came up and said, "I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist for passing the test of understanding the truth." In the past, they were very reserved in front of Zhang Yan, but now that the latter's cultivation was higher than theirs, their attitude changed.
Zhang Yan smiled and bowed. Then, he said, "Why did the two of you come back to look for me?"
The Taoist on the right was silent for a while, then said frankly, "We will not hide it from fellow Taoist. Because of the threat from that existence, we have been looking for a way out, but until now we have not found such a place. Later, we vaguely heard from other places that there seems to be a place where you can seek protection. Now that I have come to see fellow Taoist, I want to ask, if that existence comes, can you let us in to hide?"
The Taoist on the left said, "If fellow Taoist agrees, we can hand over the good fortune fragments in our hands to fellow Taoist."
Zhang Yan thought about it. He did not care much about the good fortune fragments, but in the future, he would have to face that existence, so the more allies he had, the better. But the premise was that he could control Bu Xutian, so before he achieved this goal, he would not let anyone in. Thus, he said, "I cannot promise the two of you now, but when the time comes, I will give you an accurate answer."
When the two heard this, they were happy. Zhang Yan's spiritual power was now above theirs, so even if he rejected them, they could not do anything. It was already good to have such a reply, so they immediately bowed and thanked him.
At this moment, Zhang Yan thought of something. Seeing the two of them here, he asked, "Do the two of you know where Yao Han and the others went?"
The Daoist on the left said, "We have our suspicions as well. We have been keeping an eye on him, but he suddenly disappeared without a trace. We privately speculate that he has gone to some place, but we can't deduce anything at the moment. If it's not that he has the protection of a highly skilled Daoist, then he is hiding in some world."
Zhang Yan nodded, this was in line with his speculation. He said, "I still have things to do here, so I will not keep you two."
When the two of them saw this, they tactfully cupped their fists and left.
After sending the two off, Zhang Yan calmed himself down and sat down.
After passing the challenge of understanding truth, not only did he completely erase his mark of being in the world, he also made up for his shortcomings. It was just that as his cultivation increased, new flaws would appear. This was something that could never be made up for. But it was also because of this that his cultivation could improve. The biggest gain from this was that his spiritual power and cultivation had greatly increased. This was what he relied on to open up the world.
With a change of heart, the spiritual power that was originally spreading out slowly retracted, and all the spiritual power that was fighting against him gradually weakened. This did not mean that the spiritual power would not come here anymore, but under his will, it would never touch him. In other words, the power that he gathered surpassed the expansion of his peers.
This was something that he could not do before killing Wan Zhen, because it required even more spiritual power. Just Now, he was able to get rid of his peers and achieve his goal.
Because he avoided the entanglement of many spiritual powers, after a long time, his spiritual power seemed to have disappeared from the void.
Of course, this was not true disappearance. If that was the case, then he would be isolated from the world and fall into eternal silence. Right now, he was only infinitely close to this. The deeper his spiritual power receded, the further away he was from his peers, and the harder it was for others to find the world he opened up.
However, this place was also dangerous. If he was not careful, he might fall into it and never be able to return to the void.
Zhang Yan had already deduced this in the past, so he was well aware of it. As he went deeper and deeper, he sensed that he'd already arrived at his limits, and then his Divine Will stopped here for an instant. At the same time, a World Freeze that was like a jade cocoon suddenly opened up. Clear and misty light emanated from within it, and then it instantly formed the world, the universe, the sun, the moon, and the stars.
He sensed it slightly and found that as long as he was here, he would only be connected to this world, and he would not be able to sense the other worlds. This ensured that he would not fall into eternal silence, nor would he fight against his peers. It was as if he was in the gap between the two.
It was no wonder that it was difficult for outsiders to find the location of his world. As long as he, the master, did not go out, it meant that he did not exist to his peers.
However, there were still traces. It was as if if that existence came, he would definitely be able to find the location of the world. Otherwise, the almighty cultivator who opened the world would not be in such a hurry to find a place of refuge. Only by controlling the cloth as soon as possible could he truly be safe.
At this moment, he pondered for a while and took out the mask again. He wanted to use the weak connection to try to find where the Faceless Daoist came from.
He did not do this before because he was not fully prepared. Now that the world was opened, even if the Faceless Daoist came again, he would not be afraid.
His Divine Will followed the karmic connection and traced back to the source. Not long after, he saw a place.
It was a mirror lake, and it was unknown how big it was. It looked like it was embedded in the void, but no matter how he looked, he could only see the side facing him, and could not see the back.
After that, all the karmic connections were completely severed. There was no doubt that this person had appeared from here.
He could now confirm that this person was indeed not in the void. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find this place so smoothly.
At this moment, he tried to explore, but found that whether it was magic power or Qi dynamic, he could not see the situation inside. After thinking about it, he thought that this should also be a place of refuge. Although the Faceless Daoist would prevent other people from improving their cultivation, it did not mean that this person would pin all his hopes on this. He would also find a way out, and it was very likely that this was the place.
After taking a deep look at this place, his consciousness returned to his real body. He then looked at the world behind him, and a wisp of consciousness had already sunk into Xuanyuan Heaven.
