When Zhang Yan sensed the source, he found that its aura was strange and obscure. He couldn't even tell if it was a person or a Connate Treasure Spirit. If he wanted to see it clearly, he had to either continue to calculate, or go directly to the source.
He thought about it for a moment, but decided against it.
When he came into contact with the aura, he found that there was no malice in it, nor was there any specific bias. This meant that the other party wasn't coming for him. But if he took the initiative to go forward, he might end up in conflict with the other party.
Before he knew what the other party's goal was, he didn't plan to interfere. Although the fluctuations of magic had directly caused the World's Spiritium to flourish, it didn't go against his wishes. In fact, he was happy to see it.
But that didn't mean he would let down his guard. The other party was helping the World's Spiritium, but who knew what would happen in the future?
Fortunately, he had a rough idea of where the source was, so he just needed to be careful. If the other party did anything harmful to Bu Xutian, he could deal with it at any time.
He looked away and didn't think too much about it. Instead, he entered a meditative state and continued to circulate his energy to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
The competition in the Mountain and Sea Realm was still going on. Not only had the previous battle not caused any adverse effects, it had even attracted more disciples from the sects beyond the Heavens to participate in the competition. The scope of the competition was growing larger and larger, and it seemed that it wouldn't end for several years.
But the chaos of the Heavenly Mysteries didn't stop. Because it was suspected that the female Daoist's group had been influenced by the Heavenly Mysteries to attack the World where Yuan Zun was in charge, the various sects in the Heavens now took measures to keep an eye on people who had obtained the Heavenly Mysteries and Karmic Luck, lest they come out and cause trouble. Among them, it wasn't that there weren't any upper realm cultivators who were disturbed by this and had strange thoughts in their hearts. However, in a situation where there weren't any upper realm experts to push them, this generation's mind was still relatively clear. At the very least, they were able to endure and not move. As a result, in these past few years, the overall situation could be considered stable.
Although Zhang Yan was in secluded meditation in the Great Qinghuan Heaven, he could see what these people were thinking. But as long as they weren't almighty True Yang cultivators, he wouldn't pay much attention to them.
On this day, as he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed something. He looked up and saw a Jade Talisman floating in the air. It was obviously a magical manifestation of an old acquaintance.
With a thought, he summoned the item and it landed in front of him. After observing it for a moment, he understood what it was.
This item was sent by Ancestor Yao Han. He said that he had been entrusted by the Mirror Lake Lord to invite him there for a meeting, saying that he had an important matter to discuss with him.
Zhang Yan thought about it for a moment. Before Patriarch Yao Han left, he had asked him to go, and he had the intention of exploring that place. However, he had been busy cultivating, so he hadn't been able to make a move. Now that the patriarch had sent him a letter, he could make a trip there.
However, he guessed that the so-called big event might have something to do with the Spiritium of all realms.
As for the reason why the patriarch invited him to the land of protection, he had to be wary of it. If he was the master of Bu Xu Tian, he could suppress any outsider at any time. The person behind Ancestor Yao Han was also the master of the land of creation, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so in his own world. Therefore, he wouldn't use his real body this time. He would only send an avatar.
In this way, he would only have to worry about the other party. Because if he went there, if he had any brilliant methods, he could very well leave a strand of Qi at the other party's place. In this way, if the two sides were to fight in the future, it would definitely be of some use. However, since he was invited here today, he would naturally not do such a thing.
After thinking for a while, he created an avatar and came out of Bu Xu Tian.
Last time, when he was looking for the broken mask, he had sensed the location of the mirror lake, so it wasn't difficult to go there. However, as a guest, he didn't have to do so this time.
He took out the Jade Talisman and threw it out. In an instant, a wave of Qi opened up the path ahead. He waved his sleeve and moved forward. In an instant, he arrived in front of the mirror lake.
The master of this place sensed his arrival. There was a ripple on the surface of the mirror lake, and Patriarch Yao Han walked out. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan also lifted his hand to return the greeting. He glanced at the other party. As his cultivation improved, he could also sense that there was something unusual about the other party.
From the words of the Daoist holding the sword, he could infer that this Patriarch Yao Han might not be the patriarch himself. Perhaps he was just connected to the patriarch, or perhaps he was just a part of the patriarch's true body. This person didn't do this just for his own cultivation, but for another purpose.
Patriarch Yao Han stepped aside and said politely, "Fellow Daoist, please."
Zhang Yan nodded and followed him into the mirror lake. He felt as if he was submerged in a pool of warm water, and his senses were blurry. After what seemed like a long time, this strange feeling disappeared Just Now. He guessed that this was a barrier that the other party purposely set up so that he couldn't sense the truth of this place.
As his senses gradually recovered, he knew that he was in the middle of the world. He looked around and found that this place was very different from other places of fortune. If he wasn't wrong, this place should have been created by the fusion of a supreme treasure of fortune and the essence of fortune.
This supreme treasure of fortune and this place of fortune came from the same source. Being able to reach this step meant that one could transcend. However, for some reason, he ended up in this situation.
Patriarch Yao Han had hinted that this place was no weaker than Bu Xutian, but that was an exaggeration. However, this place had a good foundation. Among all the places of fortune he had seen, aside from Bu Xutian, there was no other place that could compare to this place. Moreover, because it was fused with a supreme treasure, the door was sturdy enough.
Not long after, the two of them arrived before a platform.
On the main seat sat a Daoist wearing half a mask. However, the eyes on one side of the mask were lively, and the mouth and nose on the other side were stiff.
Most of the people sitting below him were people he knew.
On the left were Yu Qiu and Yu Lu, and there was an empty seat above them. That was the seat of Ancestor Yao Han. Opposite them were Skysplit, Profound Che, and Ren Du, who had come to seek refuge.
When the Taoist saw him, he slowly stood up from his seat. The other five also stood up together.
Patriarch Yao Han chuckled and pointed at the Daoist. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is the master of Mirror Lake. We were only able to avoid being devoured by that thing because of his protection."
The Daoist bowed to him and said, "This humble Daoist is Ji Zhuang. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and raised his hand to return the greeting. "So it's Fellow Daoist Ji Zhuang. Greetings."
Standing in front of this person, it was not difficult for him to tell that the Faceless Daoist who tried to stop him was a manifestation of this person's aura. Of course, an avatar of aura was not the same as the true body, but it still represented the will of the true body.
However, he was here as a guest today. Even if there were any conflicts, they could be discussed later.
Patriarch Yao Han said, "I believe the rest of you know each other, so I won't say anything more."
Jizhuang Daoren waved his sleeve. "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."
Zhang Yan nodded and sat down on the guest seat. The others also returned to their seats.
Jizhuang Daoren looked over and slowly said, "I had some conflicts with fellow Daoist, but I didn't do it out of my own will. I had to do it for the sake of the bigger picture. If fellow Daoist knows the truth, I believe you will understand my actions."
Zhang Yan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then I'll have to ask. "
Jizhuang Daoren looked at him. "Do you know the true origin of that existence?"
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and said, "I've fought him head-on before. I'm guessing that he might have entered the world because of some kind of obsession."
Daoist Ji Zhuang could not help but nod and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are very accurate." He paused for a while and continued, "Fellow Daoist, you should also know that in order to search for the secret of the upper realm, you caused the essence of creation to shatter, which resulted in the current situation."
Zhang Yan nodded. He had already seen this when he reached the Spirit Refinement realm.
Daoist Ji Zhuang continued, "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you don't know that although these great virtues were implicated by the destruction of the essence of creation and seemed to have sunk into eternal silence, before that, they all did one thing at the same time, and that was to place their will in the silence, hoping that they would be freed in the future."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. "So, the existence of that existence is actually because of the will of the Virtuous Ones."
Jizhuang Daoren nodded. "That's right. Not only that, among us, as long as someone's cultivation improves by leaps and bounds and surpasses his peers, that existence will appear in the world. However, the destruction of the creation essence and the Heavenly Dao are not without a price. The Virtuous Ones naturally have to pay with their bodies. But if they want to return, then the karma will fall on us and even the billions of people in the world. That's why that existence can devour everything. If no one stops him, when he devours everything, then the Virtuous Ones can appear again."
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes. "So the reason why you left your aura to stop me was because of this?"
Jizhuang Daoren nodded. "I'm not targeting you. I just don't want that existence to appear prematurely. Even if that person is not you, I will still try to stop him."
When Zhang Yan heard this, he fell into deep thought. There were some things here that matched up with his previous guesses. However, he would not completely believe what this person said. He would have to continue to verify the truth in the future. He looked up and said, "Then, did you invite I here today for this?"
It was absolutely impossible to make him stop. The other side should understand this, unless they used force to subdue him. Although Jing Hu was not weak, he did not have the ability to subdue Bu Xu Tian. That day, even that existence could not break into Bu Xu Tian's territory, so there was no need to think about this person.
