Zhang Yan sank into the domain and swept his gaze around. To his surprise, he discovered that this place looked no different from an ordinary world on the surface, but there were actually no humans here. All those who had attained the Dao were all Otherworldly Spirits.
As the saying went, "Clear Qi turns into humans, turbid Qi gives birth to demons". Even if the spiritual vigor was weak or almost non-existent, as long as it was evolved by heaven and earth, the two would appear. Even if there was a difference, it was because of the different spiritual vigor.
However, there was no one here, and only demons and beasts were left behind. It was absolutely impossible for such a situation to not have a powerful being behind the scenes to push things along.
At this moment, in his senses, the past and future of this world were covered, and he could not see above the source. This was another proof that there was someone of the same generation here.
He looked around again. In this world, there were six people with the strongest Qi dynamic, and they should be the ones with the highest cultivation here.
For this generation to be able to cultivate to such a high state, it would not be without a reason. They should more or less be related to this Spirit Refinement Cultivator. They could be his disciples, so he could try to find them.
So, with a change of heart, he came in front of one of them.
It was a white-robed scholar. At this moment, he was drinking by himself in a pavilion. From time to time, he would pick up a scroll of Dao scripture and read a few times. When he suddenly saw Zhang Yan, he was stunned. Then, as if he remembered something, he looked excited and surprised. He quickly stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Grand Supreme. Grand Supreme, are you here because …"
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked around guiltily and did not continue.
When Zhang Yan saw that this person was able to identify his identity with a single glance, he knew that he had found the right person. He looked over and saw that there was a layer of incomplete concealment on the surface of this person. Although he couldn't see through it, he could tell that this person was extremely similar to the true spirit of a certain magic treasure. However, he didn't continue to look deeper. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and said, "What did you want to say just now?"
The white-robed scholar seemed to be afraid of startling someone and asked carefully, "Grand Supreme, are you here because of that …" He pointed somewhere, "because of that lamp?"
Zhang Yan knew that the person he was talking about should be Chen Shu because the latter was the manifestation of the Spiritual Fire. However, to his slight surprise, Chen Shu was a mighty cultivator of the Spirit Refinement Realm at any rate, yet this person's tone didn't have the slightest bit of respect towards her. Instead, his attitude seemed as if he was talking about a fellow cultivator.
Logically, even if they were from opposing sides, people of lower states would not dare to disrespect a almighty like this. Moreover, it seemed that this was not the case.
He said, "I have indeed met her, and I am here at her invitation. Based on what you said, I heard that you have some relationship with her?"
The white-robed scholar felt the voice resounding in his mind and immediately felt much more at ease. At the same time, he became excited and hurriedly replied with his mind, "Of course there is. Because it is precisely because of our efforts that she is where she is today."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? "The person you speak of is a Spirit Refinement cultivator. How can you help her?"
The white-robed scholar seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he could not say it. He stammered, "There is a reason behind this …"
Zhang Yan saw that he wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. He said, "Since you know this fellow Daoist, do you know where her true place of cultivation is? I will go and talk to her myself. "
The white-robed scholar's expression changed, and he said, "True place? What true place? I don't know … "
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered, and he had some guesses in his heart. He did not speak to this person anymore. His consciousness moved, and in the next moment, he had already appeared in another place.
On a reef, a middle-aged man wearing clothes made of seaweed stood. His beard and hair dragged into the seawater below. Around him was a group of half-human, half-fish merman children, all of them gathered around him to listen to him preach.
The middle-aged man noticed something at this moment. He turned around and saw Zhang Yan standing on the surface of the sea with his sleeves behind his back. His expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head in thought. He then waved the children away, stood up, and respectfully bowed to him. "This lowly one, Tang Lai, greets Grand Supreme."
Zhang Yan said, "Your aura is similar to that person in the peach pavilion. Are you from the same sect?"
Tang Lai made an 'oh' sound and pretended to be relaxed. "The person Grand Supreme is talking about must be Fellow Daoist Bai Zhuan? It must be him speaking incoherently again. He is just like that. All day long, he treats his imagination as truth, and then he forgets about it. "As he said this, he bowed again." If Grand Supreme needs to know anything, feel free to ask this lowly one. This lowly one will tell you everything. "
Zhang Yan looked at him indifferently and said, "No need. It's better for me to see for myself."
At this moment, his incarnation appeared on more than ten different places. The aura and magic power of the people there were very similar to that of the white-robed scholar and the middle-aged man in front of him.
When he took in all of them, he discovered something different when he looked at them again.
These people were originally one, but they were forcibly separated by a certain kind of Weili. Just Now, when he looked at them together, it was like a broken thing had been reunited, and their original appearance was revealed.
But at this point, he still felt that there were too many traces of carving on this person's body. What he saw here was not the final truth.
He pondered for a moment. Although the past and the future were blocked, it was not impossible for him to forcibly look at them.
Normally speaking, these lower realm cultivators wouldn't be able to find anything useful on them, so Deity Refinement cultivators wouldn't do this if they wanted to find some clues. Moreover, once they did this, it would alarm the people behind them. Not only would they be suspected of bullying the weak, they would also make enemies out of nothing.
But the situation now was different. He could clearly feel that as long as he peeled off this layer of cover, he would be able to know the secret here. Only then could he truly come into contact with the person behind them.
When he thought of this, he did not hesitate and immediately used his magic power to push aside the layers of fog. In just a moment, the background of this person was finally revealed before him.
What reflected in his eyes was a flame that illuminated the world. It had no source, no root, and could not be seen. When the flame was bright, life would be born and the world would be bright. When the flame was dim, it would be silent and decline. It was clearly a treasure of creation.
From the aura that was constantly being emitted by the flames, he also knew the name of this treasure.
Sunset Beam.
He was the Spirit Refinement cultivator here, the master of this world. He had always hidden himself in the depths of the Land of Creation, which was why Liu Ming had not been able to sense his location earlier.
However, Liu Ming could also tell that something must have gone wrong during the process of cultivation. Sunset Beam was currently in a deep sleep and could be said to have let down his guard against the outside world. Even when Liu Ming entered this place, Sunset Beam did not sense him at all.
As a cultivator who had passed the Enlightenment Stage, Zhang Yan's cultivation was higher than this person's, and he was also the master of the land of good fortune. Thus, when he saw this, he immediately understood what was wrong with this person.
This Xi Liang was also trying to break through. Because he was a Yin Yang Fire, he was born with two sides. Thus, when he cultivated, he showed the nature of two sides.
Whether it was Chen Shu, Bai Hao, Tang Lian, or the other ten or so people, they were all born from his body.
Every time he woke up, he would devour the Treasure Spirits that he had split off in order to complete himself. The next time he fell asleep, the Treasure Spirits would be born again, and the cycle would repeat itself.
This was actually devouring itself. These Treasure Spirits were not only its resources, but also its creations.
Speaking of which, this was another method of taking into account both the external and the external. It relied on the Land of Creation, and in the process of ceaselessly devouring it, it was actually comprehending the truths of the Grand Dao. When it finally comprehended itself, then it would be able to pass this test.
However, it was very similar to the trouble that Daoist Shenchang had encountered in the Enlightenment Stage. Originally, every time he devoured the Treasure Spirits, their previous memories would be erased. However, perhaps it was because his cultivation was flawed, as time passed, the Treasure Spirits also noticed something.
They were deeply afraid because once they gained their own consciousness, they naturally did not want to be destroyed. Once Sunset Beam's cultivation was complete, they would no longer exist, so they began to search for a way to escape.
Unfortunately, after they split up, their power was also scattered. Moreover, they had already separated from the ball of fire, so they could not resist at all.
However, there was still a way. They could not do it themselves, but they could try to find someone who could. Thus, every time Sunset Beam fell asleep, everyone would work together to send all their power into the fire to be nurtured. After a long time, another consciousness would be born, and it would become a single person. That person was Chen Shu.
Everyone placed their hopes on Chen Shu, hoping that she would be able to find a solution. As long as she could escape from her original body, it would be possible for them to be freed as well.
Chen Shu had not been born for long, so she had no interest in talking to those lower realms. She also did not have the ability to see through the mist, so she did not know about these things. She had been chased out because she instinctively avoided danger. This was because once Sunset Beam woke up and discovered her, he would swallow her. When Sunset Beam fell asleep, she naturally treated his body as her original body. In reality, this was not completely wrong. This was because Sunset Beam had already lost the consciousness that he should have. Before he completed his cultivation, he would not stop this cycle, because they came from the same source.
Originally, Chen Shu would only discover her true situation after a long time. However, due to the threat of that existence, she was afraid that if she was chased out again, she would be swallowed. Thus, she made the move to ask for help.
Zhang Yan relied on observing this person's foundation and his own deductions. At this moment, he had more or less restored the entire situation.
He thought about it. He had returned this time to find Chen Shu's original body and investigate the truth of this place. However, he did not expect the true situation to be like this.
Sunset Beam's cultivation had actually gone awry. Forget about unraveling the truth, he could not even protect this land of creation. If this continued, this place would definitely be discovered by that existence, and it would be snatched away!
