When Zhang Yan saw that Jizhuang Daoren had sent another clone outside, he knew that Jizhuang Daoren was still unwilling to give up and was making another move. Since he could not enter the mirror lake at the moment, he could only deal with it accordingly and stop Jizhuang Daoren from acting rashly.
He made some calculations in his mind and realized that Jizhuang Daoren's clone that came out this time did not carry the fragment of the essence of creation. However, this did not mean that he did not need to care about it. It should be known that the other clone's ritual implement could be returned and sent here using the will of the god.
He could feel that Ji Zhuang's action this time was different from the previous two times. He had a great purpose, and it seemed that he already knew where that existence's soul clone was.
If that was really the case, he would not be able to stop him no matter what if he used ordinary methods.
The simplest way was to kill the doppelganger.
Although this could temporarily solve the problem, firstly, the two sides were still maintaining harmony on the surface. Secondly, Jizhuang Daoren should still have some tricks up his sleeves that he had not used because of some reason. If he openly offended him now, it would only cause him to completely throw away his scruples.
However, if there was really no way to stop him, he did not mind doing this. However, he had not reached that step yet.
With a thought in his mind, the Qinghong Sword Pill shook, and a spiritual light appeared in an instant. In the next moment, it had already escaped into the silence and chased after Jizhuang Daoren. Not only that, wherever his aura went, there would be sword lights falling.
Before this sword was completed, it could already observe that existence's mana waves. Now that the sword was completed, it was even less difficult to do this.
This sword light followed Jizhuang Daoren all the way. As long as there was an external aura, it would immediately go forward and destroy it.
In the eyes of that existence, Jizhuang Daoren was an enemy. Under such circumstances, he would only think that Jizhuang Daoren was pursuing him. Why would he take the initiative to show himself?
At this time, Jizhuang Daoren also noticed that Zhang Yan's mana and Qi activity had already caught up to him. However, he did not stop, nor did he try to turn around to stop him. Doing so was almost useless other than wasting his mana. Now, he thought that after finding that existence's mana fluctuation, he would be able to achieve his goal one step ahead. No matter what, Zhang Yan would not be able to stop him, so he simply ignored it.
Following the guidance of the man in the mirror, he soon found the source of the fluctuation of magic power. He immediately returned the artifact to the fragment of the essence of creation and transmitted it into the divine will. At the same time, he opened up the present world and prepared to receive the magic power machine.
However, before the consciousness incarnation could condense into form, a strand of sword light flashed through space and instantly slashed apart this vital energy.
Naturally, Jizhuang Daoren opened up more than one present world. However, at the same time, the thousands of present worlds that were involved in the fluctuation of magic power were all slashed apart by countless sword lights.
His expression changed. He did not expect Zhang Yan to be able to catch up to him this time. Not only that, the residual mana fluctuation of the consciousness was being swept away by Zhang Yan's sword qi. Seeing that it was about to be cleaned up, he hurriedly took out a purple bottle gourd and captured a wisp of Qi activity from outside and put it into it. Although it did not seem to be of any use, he would not return empty-handed this time.
Seeing that things could not be done, he was afraid that the fragment of the essence of creation would be taken away again. This time, he did not force himself. He directly dissipated the two clones and then returned his consciousness to the original body.
He frowned deeply, knowing that this matter could not continue. At the moment, almost all the methods he could think of were blocked by the opponent. If he wanted to break through the encirclement head-on, he was afraid that he would never be able to do so without first getting rid of Zhang Yan.
However, just as Zhang Yan could not attack into the mirror lake, he similarly could not do anything to Bu Xutian. Moreover, if they really fought, his side might not be Bu Xutian's opponent. This was one of the reasons why he had been restraining himself on the surface.
Now it seemed that it was difficult to do this in a hurry. Now, he could only use his own magic power to ripple through the void to search for the fragment of the essence of creation or the land of creation. Then, he would see if he could find that existence's consciousness while searching for such things.
This matter depended on his own fate, but similarly, no one could stop him.
Although he had collected a wisp of the existence's consciousness Just Now left behind before he retreated, he could only use it Just Now during a head-on battle. The scattered wisp of Qi was not very useful. For example, those of the same generation who had entered the eternal silence would also leave behind a wisp of Qi, but it was impossible to find them with this. Cultivators who were still active in the void would sense it in advance, and unless they were willing, they would not let the pursuer succeed.
However, if he released this wisp of Qi when he was searching for the essence of creation, it might attract the other party's attention and cause them to take the initiative to find him. Although the hope was a little slim, there was always a glimmer of hope.
However, Just Now's series of actions had caused the relationship between them to become tense. He was afraid that if he continued, Zhang Yan would directly turn against him, so he decided to temporarily stop. It would not be too late to do this after the situation eased up a bit.
Although Daoist Sky Reaching and the others were inside the mirror lake, Just Now Just Now had seen the battle between the two of them. The result was undoubtedly Jizhuang Daoren's defeat. He first revealed a mocking expression, then a hint of fear.
It was not difficult to see that Daoist Ji Zhuang did not make any mistakes in this battle. Even if he had been in Zhang Yan's place, he might not have been able to do better. However, he was still restrained by Zhang Yan in every way. Even if the two of them were on the same level, it was not difficult to see that Daoist Ji Zhuang was completely vulnerable in the battle.
Daoist Ren Du said, "I wonder what Ji Zhuang will do after returning in defeat?"
Daoist Sky Reaching said, "In truth, if Ji Zhuang fails this time, the Inner Realm will be at peace."
Daoist Sky Reaching nodded. This person was determined to bring the avatar here. No one objected, but he dared to say that no one agreed. If he really brought the avatar here, everyone in the mirror lake would be in danger. Now that his plan had failed, it was a good thing for everyone.
He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Just Now Yao Han is here. What did he say to Fellow Daoist?"
Daoist Sky Reaching said, "The situation is not yet decided, so why would he say anything? This person would not leave behind such evidence. Just Now Yao Han is only saying some secretive words to leave some hints. "
In truth, there was one thing he didn't say. The Yao Han ancestor had vaguely revealed that in order to prevent the avatar from entering the land of fortune, he had made some sort of agreement with Zhang Yan.
It was difficult for him to determine if this was true or not, but if it was true, then if all the cultivators in the Inner Realm joined forces to deal with Ji Zhuang and Daoist Zhang attacked from the outside, the Mirror Lake might really change owners.
However, although he didn't think that Ji Zhuang would be able to keep his position as the master of the Mirror Lake, he still felt like there was something hidden behind him. In particular, he still didn't know what Ji Zhuang's goal was, so he made up his mind that no matter what happened in the Mirror Lake, he wasn't going to get involved.
Even if the Yao Han ancestor really became the master, they would still need to deal with Bu Xu Tian. He didn't need to worry too much about this and would just watch the situation change.
When Zhang Yan saw that Jizhuang Daoren had retreated, he also withdrew his avatar and the Clear Dawn Sword Pill. He knew that the other party wouldn't stop because of this, but if the other party insisted on doing this, he wouldn't be so polite anymore. Every time an avatar appeared, he would kill it.
However, what surprised him was that after this, Jizhuang Daoren didn't do anything like this again. It was as if he had become completely silent.
Seeing this, he calmed his mind and went back to meditating.
Right now, he had left a wisp of his divine sense there, so no matter what the other party wanted to do, he would be able to detect it.
After sitting there for 10 years, he suddenly opened his eyes.
At that moment, he felt that Daoist Ji Zhuang's Dharmic power ripples in the void were much stronger than before, and the trend was becoming more and more obvious.
After observing for a while, he knew the other party's plan. However, if the other party didn't want to have a falling out with the other party, this was the only choice if the other party wanted to achieve his goal.
This was equivalent to giving up on the idea of coming into contact with that existence's Divine Clone. He only hoped to bump into that existence while searching for the essence of creation. Because everything here depended on one's own luck and opportunities, he could not stop it.
Unless he could block the other party in the Mirror Lake and prevent the other party's fluctuations from leaking out.
In reality, with his magic power, he could indeed do such a thing, but he could not seal it forever, because once that existence returned and began to devour everything, he would definitely have to go up and stop it. Moreover, this would require him to pour a large portion of his magic power into it, and he would not be able to continue his cultivation.
If Jizhuang Daoren persisted like this, he actually had a chance to succeed. Because refining the soul didn't matter if it was life or death, as long as the other party didn't change his mind, he would encounter the other party sooner or later.
If he wanted to stop it, he would have to break the Mirror Lake and suppress it or force it into the Eternal Stillness.
He couldn't help but think about Ancestor Yao Han's suggestion. The latter's intention was clearly to replace the other party and become the master of the Mirror Lake.
If he worked together with Ancestor Yao Han, he would have a chance to overturn Jizhuang Daoren. However, after thinking about it, he didn't think it was a good choice.
Ancestor Yao Han had hidden himself very well, and he might have a bigger plan.
At the very least, he was very clear about Jizhuang Daoren's goal. However, if he replaced Ancestor Yao Han, things would become even more difficult to deal with.
If he didn't use this method, he could only speed up his cultivation. If he was strong enough, he wouldn't have to worry about these things.
After entering the second stage, he had been constantly unraveling the unknown. He didn't know how long it would take for him to reach a higher stage.
However, he still had another path to take.
All this time, he had been cultivating both Qi and Power. Since he couldn't see a future in the Qi Path, he might as well try the Strength Path. If he could reach the next stage in the Strength Path, he wouldn't be much stronger, but at least he would have more ways to deal with enemies.
