Jizhuang Daoren was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm not trying to stop you again, but there's no point in doing so. Ever since you repelled that existence and split your Divine Essence, you've broken free from its karmic connection."
Originally, Zhang Yan's cultivation was the fastest among his peers, so the manifestation of that existence would be triggered by him. It was precisely because of this that Daoist Ji Zhuang tried to stop him. Now, Zhang Yan could be said to have defeated that existence and stopped it from devouring everything. In reality, he had already broken this connection, so there was no point in continuing to stop him.
If that existence wanted to continue, he could only find a way through others.
Jizhuang Daoren said solemnly, "Although you've broken free yourself, as long as the Bhadanta's obsession hasn't faded, this existence can never be broken. Although its Divine Essence has split, it will eventually rise again. Unless your cultivation is higher than the Bhadanta's, no one can stop it."
At this point, his tone became more serious. "If that was all, then it would be fine. But now, we've discovered that those Great Virtues might still have a backup plan. Perhaps someone hopes that those Great Virtues will return, so they're secretly pushing for this."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the Spiritium Boom of all realms?"
Jizhuang Daoren said, "That's right." He looked at Zhang Yan with a complicated gaze, "Fellow Daoist, your karmic connection has been severed. In order for that existence to return, this karmic connection will definitely fall on someone else. It's likely that it will choose someone from the lower realms to enter the Spirit Refinement realm, or it will choose someone else from our generation to affect the Heaven's Will. Apart from you and that Fellow Daoist, everyone else is in it."
Ancestor Yao Han said, "The Spiritium boom is not a good thing, Fellow Daoist. The magic energy ripples across millions of worlds, and there will eventually be someone it chooses. Right now, we're looking for the source so that we can stop it."
Jizhuang Daoren continued, "If someone else from our generation cultivates to the second realm, then it's likely that Fellow Daoist will be able to fuse with his Divine Essence again. Fellow Daoist's previous efforts may be in vain."
Zhang Yan didn't comment on this and said, "Then I have a question. What if someone can really cultivate to the level of Bhadanta?"
Jizhuang Daoren looked at him deeply and said, "I know what you mean, Fellow Daoist. However, as long as that existence recovers, no one will be able to compete with him in cultivation."
Zhang Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Then, what exactly do you want me to do by inviting me here?"
Jizhuang Daoren said, "Fellow Daoist, you must understand that as long as someone from our generation makes progress in cultivation, there is a chance that this existence will return. Therefore, I believe that our two clans must work together to suppress the cultivation of everyone in our generation. As for those who manifest as Innate Treasure Spirits, if they show themselves, we must find a way to kill them." At the end, he added, "Of course, Fellow Daoist, you've already severed your karma, so you're not part of this."
Zhang Yan looked around and said, "I have a question."
Jizhuang Daoren said, "Please speak, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan said, "Since you know how dangerous that existence is, why don't you work together to fight against him? After all, he isn't that scary. I worked together with you last time to suppress him. If our two clans work together, even if that existence returns, it won't be hard to defeat him again. "
Jizhuang Daoren shook his head, "It's not that we haven't thought about what Fellow Daoist said, but we won't be able to put an end to this matter. Moreover, if we are defeated once, then everything we've done before will be useless."
He was someone who cherished his life the most, so how could he take such a risk?
Even now, he still found it hard to believe that Zhang Yan could do such a thing. In his eyes, that existence couldn't be defeated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come out and only released a strand of his aura to suppress his fellow daoists.
Ancestor Yao Han interrupted, "Aside from this matter, there is one more thing that we must not forget." He paused for a moment and saw Zhang Yan looking at him, so he continued, "And that is to sever the path of all living beings in the present world!"
Jizhuang Daoren nodded in agreement, "That's right. Although the living beings in the present world can't threaten us, if we don't try to improve our cultivation, that existence will definitely attack other living beings."
As long as these Spirit Refinement cultivators were willing to work together, it wouldn't be hard to stop the Heavenly Dao and prevent anyone from reaching the upper realm. Even if they were careless, they would be able to eliminate them immediately.
He looked at Zhang Yan and said, "If we can do this, then we can rest easy. Fellow Daoist's future cultivation won't be disturbed. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing to work together with us?"
Zhang Yan didn't answer immediately and fell into deep thought.
He did not care whether Bhadanta returned or not. In fact, with the appearance of a more profound almighty, under the fusion and collision of mana, he might be able to unravel more unknown unknowns and pry into more secrets of the upper realm.
But if it was as Ji Zhuang said, and he had to pay the price of devouring everything, then he would definitely try to stop it.
One had to know that that existence would not let him go just because he had broken free from karma. Not killing him did not count as embezzling everything. It was just that the credibility of Ji Zhuang's words had yet to be determined. When he returned, he would find a way to verify it.
As for the matter of cutting off the path of cultivation, he didn't agree with it because it was equivalent to cutting off the path of others in exchange for a moment of peace. Indeed, as Ji Zhuang said, after he was free from karma, he could still cultivate and wouldn't be restricted. But would the other party be so kind? He had a feeling that the path to the upper realm would have some kind of barrier. If he couldn't meet someone from the upper realm, he might not be able to cross it.
After thinking about it, he said, "I can't decide on this alone. I need to go back and discuss with my fellow daoists. I will give you an answer later."
Jizhuang Daoren nodded and said, "No problem. Fellow Daoist, you can go back and think about it." He could see that Zhang Yan had the intention to leave, but because he knew it was only a clone, he didn't try to stop him. He turned to Elder Yao Han and said, "Fellow Daoist Yao Han, please send Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan off on my behalf."
Elder Yao Han stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, please."
After Zhang Yan bowed, he left the platform and walked out. At this time, he felt Patriarch Yao Han's Divine Will. His eyes flashed, and he accepted it.
Elder Yao Han saw that Zhang Yan allowed his Divine Will to pass, so he laughed and said, "Just now, I see that Fellow Daoist doesn't agree with this matter. In fact, I have a different opinion on this matter. Doing this will block my path, but I live under someone else's roof. I can't go against the will of Mirror Master Ji Zhuang."
Zhang Yan looked at Elder Yao Han. It seemed that this person wasn't content with his lot. He seemed to have some thoughts about Ji Zhuang's position as Mirror Master. Zhang Yan didn't plan to interfere. Ji Zhuang wasn't easy to get along with. Although they hadn't had much contact, Zhang Yan could tell that Ji Zhuang valued his own life very much. He wouldn't allow the Inner Realm to fall into chaos.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way. Soon, they left the mirror lake.
When they came out, Zhang Yan felt the same feeling he had when he entered this place. Everything disappeared, and after a long time, he felt his body lighten. It was as if a suffocating person had returned to the surface of the water. He had walked out of the mirror lake.
Elder Yao Han cupped his hands and said, "I'll send Fellow Daoist to this place."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to send me off."
Just as Elder Yao Han was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and paused. He smiled deeply and said, "Fellow Daoist, I've had many dealings with you. Today, I want to ask you something. If your sect's patriarch wants to borrow that existence, what will you do?"
Zhang Yan smiled. At his level of cultivation, he could sense that even the Founding Ancestor might not be able to predict everything. At the very least, there was one thing that he was certain of, and that was that his ascension to the Spirit Refinement Realm was not part of the Great Underworld Founding Ancestor's plan.
Looking at the past, the patriarch's true target was Daoist Xuan Che.
Although the patriarch gave every branch a certain chance, the most they could do was climb to the True Yang Realm. It was almost impossible for them to ascend to the Spirit Refinement Realm. But in the end, not only did he transcend, he even replaced Xuan Che as Bu Xu's Heavenly Master. This went against the patriarch's original plan.
But there was no need for him to figure out what the patriarch was thinking. He couldn't see it, so there was no point in making wild guesses. If he could reach that level one day, he would ask the patriarch if there was anything he didn't understand.
After Ancestor Yao Han left, Yang Kai's mind spun and he instantly arrived outside of Bu Xu. Then he sank down and his consciousness returned to his body.
After understanding everything about this trip, he fell into deep thought.
He couldn't determine whether what Jizhuang Daoren said was true or not. The same thing could be said from a different perspective, so he couldn't make a decision.
But there was someone who might be able to dispel his doubts.
This person was the Sword Wielding Daoist suspected to be the Shaoqing Patriarch. From the fact that he was the first to stop that existence, it could be seen that he knew something.
When he left that day, he didn't leave behind any communication methods, but he still had the sword light in his hand. He could use it to contact someone.
After making up his mind, he immediately sent out another clone, which entered the void and drew out the sword light.
Not long after, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw a sword light appearing out of thin air. In the silence, it was like a sea of stars flashing. The fluctuating world retreated, and then a voice came from behind him. "Fellow Daoist, why are you looking for me?"
