Zhang Yan considered for a moment. Actually, he did not care who was the master. Whether it was Chen Shu or Xi Liang, they were all fine as long as they were willing to join forces with him to deal with that existence. As for matters like cultivation, that was their own business and had nothing to do with him.
But in the current situation, he had no choice but to intervene. Otherwise, the only person who would benefit the most would be that existence in the silence.
His current choice was either to help Xi Liang solve this problem and help him pass the test of understanding the truth, or to find a way to support Chen Shu so that she could completely replace this existence.
He leaned towards the latter.
He did not know what Xi Liang's personality was, but he had seen Chen Shu. She did not have a strong personality, and he could see that she did not have many pursuits. Most importantly, she had taken the initiative to ask for their help. Then, they would have a good reason to act, and they would be able to continue working together in the future.
If it was Xi Liang, if he knew that they originally had the chance to destroy him, unless he was an extremely open-minded person, he would definitely have a knot in his heart. Then, it would not be beneficial for them to work together in the future.
However, it was extremely difficult to do this.
One had to know that the one who controlled the main body was still Xi Liang. Chen Shu could at most be considered a sub-consciousness that was derived from the main body. They were not equal. This could be seen from the fact that Chen Shu had to actively escape when she was awake.
If the two of them were to fight, unless Chen Shu could obtain their help, she would not have any chance of winning. However, Zhang Yan only had a clone here now. No matter how thorough his plan was, he would not be able to push this matter forward unless his main body could come.
But if the main body wanted to enter the silence, then he had to first pass through that existence.
Even if he could successfully avoid that existence's obstruction and enter this land of creation, there was a high possibility that he would awaken the sleeping Xi Liang. It would not be easy to not reveal any traces.
But no matter how difficult it was, he had to think of a way to solve it.
Zhang Yan's Qi activity clone turned and escaped from this world. Then, everything that he had seen was immediately known by the Weili clone. With a thought, he had returned to the main hall of Qinghuan Palace.
He thought for a moment on his seat, then told Jing You, "Take my talisman order and invite my fellow Daoists here."
Jing You accepted the order and left.
Not long after, everyone came to the hall. They first greeted each other and then sat down.
Zhang Yan said, "Just Now, I sent a clone out to investigate the land of creation that Fellow Daoist Chen Zhu mentioned."
Taoist Zanyuan asked, "What's the situation there?"
Zhang Yan told everyone about what his incarnation had seen and said, "Now, I need to choose between Xiliang and Chenshu. Only then will I be able to protect the land of creation. If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know."
When everyone heard this, they were surprised at first, but then they began to ponder.
Daoist Shenchang pondered and said, "The most difficult thing about this place is that we can't easily reach the place of creation, so it's hard for us to interfere."
Everyone nodded incessantly. This matter was difficult to traverse in the Void. If their true bodies could arrive there silently, then it would be easy for them to do anything else. However, it just so happened that this point was firmly blocking their path.
Daoist Qing Sheng said, "I think the best way is to tell Chenshu the whole story and send her back. Then, she can fight with Xiliang on her own. That way, I won't have to interfere and will be able to solve the problem perfectly. Even if Chenshu loses, it won't be a problem. Xiliang is alone there, so he must be afraid of that existence. If he doesn't rely on us, what can he do?"
Zhang Yan had also thought of doing this. In fact, even if Xiliang allied with them, it wouldn't be a problem. But according to the current situation, without any external interference, Xiliang might not be able to wake up on his own.
Even if Chenshu was swallowed, as long as the Treasured Embryos of Spiritual Fire were still there, the dozen or so Treasured Spirits would not give up fighting. They would definitely think of another way. Perhaps, they would try to give birth to another Treasured Spirit consciousness.
The worst case scenario was that before the victor of the battle between the two of them could be decided, that existence would discover this land of fortune. At that time, Xiliang, who was the master, would be powerless to defend it. Wouldn't that be giving up this place for nothing?
They absolutely couldn't rely on luck in this matter. Compared to that existence, they were obviously weaker. If they were to give up on something that they could obtain, then it would be abandoning their own fortuitous encounter. So, they must obtain what they should obtain.
Daoist Quan and Daoist Qing Sheng hadn't spoken until now. This time, after discussing with each other, Daoist Huang Fang cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, no matter what method we use, we think that the current situation is to stop Xiliang from waking up."
When everyone heard this, they all deeply agreed. After listening to Zhang Yan's previous description, they already understood that this existence had actually fallen into a state of stagnation. Before he broke through, he would definitely not recover his original consciousness. Therefore, he wouldn't take the initiative to defend the place of creation.
The most troublesome thing was that even if he woke up from his slumber, there would still be no difference. If he woke up and did not fall into a deep slumber, then even if they wanted to interfere, they wouldn't be able to do so unless they chose to fight head-on. Not to mention that they couldn't do it now, even if they could, it would go against their original intentions.
Zhang Yan asked, "Fellow Daoists, do you have any ideas?"
Daoist Huang Fang said, "We cultivate a Heart Binding Incantation. If we chant it, it can help our fellow Daoists cultivate. However, those who hear this incantation will fall into a deep meditative state. If there are no evil thoughts in them, they won't come out of the meditative state."
Ying Kong continued, "This incantation doesn't need to be chanted by the real body. Now that we have an avatar of mana outside, we only need to send an avatar of consciousness inside, and we will be able to do this."
Everyone asked them a few questions and agreed that this method was very good.
The most amazing thing about this was that if there were evil thoughts against Xi Liang, there was a certain possibility that he would wake up. However, the incantation would actually only benefit him and not harm him.
As for the stage of understanding the truth, there was actually a problem with his foundation. This was not something that could be easily solved by a simple incantation. Therefore, they weren't afraid that Xi Liang would benefit from this.
At this moment, Ying Kong added, "When our avatars go there, we can still keep an eye on it. If there are any strange movements, we can also report to you immediately."
Zhang Yan immediately made a decision, "There's no time to lose, I'll leave this matter to you two." He pointed his finger and two streams of Qi flowed down, "The two of you can use this to find the place."
Daoist Huang Fang and Ying Kong immediately received it, bowed and said, "We'll go now."
The two of them retreated from the hall and turned their consciousness to the avatar of Weili that was in the silence. As the Qi flowed, they could already sense the place.
The Qi that Zhang Yan gave them was many times stronger than Chen Shu's, so they didn't have to deliberately search for it. They followed it and immediately found the place. As their mana seeped in, the two's consciousness avatars were already condensed in the land of fortune.
At this place, they still followed Zhang Yan's guidance and sensed the spiritual fire that was everywhere.
They didn't need to see Xi Liang, they only needed to chant the incantation. As long as Xi Liang felt that it was beneficial to them, they would be able to hear it.
In order to prevent Xi Liang from waking up after sensing the evil intentions, the two avatars' knowledge was limited. They only knew that they were really here to help Xi Liang, so they wouldn't trigger the warning signs in Xi Liang's heart.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Bu Xutian's hall was slightly relaxed.
It should be known that it wasn't that some things couldn't be solved, it was just that it was too urgent, so they couldn't come up with many solutions in a short period of time. If Daoist Huang Fang and Ying Kong handled this matter well, they would have time to think about it.
Daoist Qing Sheng calculated in his heart, then raised his head and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to go there directly, but we need a bait."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you talking about Xuan Che, Can Shen Xiao, and the others who are currently being suppressed in Bu Xutian?"
Daoist Qing Sheng said, "That's right. As long as we drive them out before we act, we will definitely attract that existence's pursuit. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and sneak into that place."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly. This method had a certain chance of success, but it was too radical. If there were other safe methods, he wouldn't want to do it.
Xuan Che and the others were currently being suppressed there, but it wasn't impossible to order them to fight against that existence in the future.
Most importantly, that existence wasn't a puppet that listened to their instructions. It had its own judgment on who to attack. Not only would it not necessarily comply with their wishes, but it would also expose its location. Therefore, he didn't comment on this suggestion.
Daoist Shenchang thought for a while and said, "Can I have a few words with Fellow Daoist Chen Shu later? Perhaps it can be of some help to her."
He was also a Creation Treasure Spirit, and he had confronted Boy Shenchang for a long time. He believed that he had some understanding in this aspect. If he could understand more, he might be able to come up with some ideas.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Of course."
Seeing that no one had anything else to say, he dismissed them first.
Before Daoist Zhanyuan left, he said, "Fellow Daoist, I think that since Fellow Daoist Luan Fang and Bing Kong have appeased her with spells, it's better to put this matter on hold. It won't be too late to deal with her when you are confident."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while. Daoist Zhanyuan meant that he could put this matter on hold for the time being. When he reached the second stage of his cultivation, he would be ready to lead everyone into the Desolation and deal with this matter in passing.
In the long run, this would indeed increase his chances of success. However, the Heavenly Mysteries changed very quickly, and he didn't know when he would succeed. If the outcome of the battle in the Desolation had already been decided, it would be even more difficult to deal with this matter.
He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist. I will consider it carefully."
Daoist Zhanyuan cupped his hands and bowed before leaving.
Zhang Yan stood motionless in the hall. He also had an idea, and that was to directly enter the Land of Creation without going through the Desolation.
This was possible. For example, the four Chaotic Domains passed down by the Patriarch came from four different realms, but they were all interconnected.
If he could open up a Chaotic Domain in the Land of Creation and leave it there, then find a way to connect it with the other four domains, he would be able to directly reach the Land of Creation. If he could do this, all the troubles he had to face would be solved smoothly.
However, even if the Patriarch could do it, he might not be able to do it as well. He thought that if he could borrow the Patriarch's Weili, it might not be impossible, so he might as well give it a try.
But if he did this, he would probably have to use the two jade pendants left behind by Daoist Xuan Che.
