Zhang Yan pondered for a moment. The reason why this lotus petal could be used for deduction should be that Ji Zhuang did it on purpose. He probably knew that the agreement was not of much use, so he wanted to use it to tie Zhang Yan up.
In a sense, it could be considered as an overt plot. If he could not beat this person in deduction, then there was no need to talk about fighting.
He withdrew from the Divine Decree, then turned his head and looked at the source of the spiritual opportunity.
From the behavior of the spiritual opportunity, it should have some kind of tacit understanding with that existence. However, once Jizhuang Daoren blocked the path of the cultivators and cut off the Dao, then no one in the world could enter the Spirit Refinement Realm. The spiritual opportunity would also become useless. When that time comes, how would that person react? And that existence would not sit idly by and watch this happen.
However, since Jizhuang Daoren was carrying out this plan, he should have taken these into consideration.
He calculated a little and knew that it would not take long before Jizhuang Daoren would activate the Creation Pauline. He first used his thoughts to inform Dan Yi and the other three that the Heavenly Secrets were about to change and that they had to find a way to maintain the order. Then, in a flash, a great consciousness was passed down.
At this moment, all the living beings in Buxu Heaven who had achieved Dao felt a consciousness enter their minds.
Almost in an instant, they understood that due to the changes in the Heavenly Secrets, not long after, the Path of Heaven would be cut off and the world would disappear. In the future, people would no longer be able to rely on the Dao to seek immortality and transcend.
When many cultivators in the upper realm heard about this, they were worried. This was because once the Path of Heaven was cut off, if one could not cultivate in this life and wanted to reincarnate to cultivate, then it would be impossible to do so.
However, even if billions of people entered the Dao, how many of them would really be able to enjoy immortality?
This way, as time passed, the number of cultivators in the world would only decrease until there were only a few. Only cultivators who had cut off their past and future bodies, or even those who had transcended this realm, could stay in the world forever.
As for the cultivation sects, they would undoubtedly fall. Even the great sects would only be able to hold on for a little longer.
After the various sects came to their senses, they all sent their disciples out in an attempt to recruit more disciples before this unforeseen event arrived. Even though this method couldn't fundamentally change the situation, it could still slightly delay the decline and prevent it from collapsing too quickly.
A spiritual light flashed in the hall, and the formation spirit appeared. It bowed towards the throne and said, "Master, High Sovereign Fu is here. He said he has something to ask of you."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Please come in, Fellow Daoist Fu."
The formation spirit immediately flashed outside and said, "High Holiness Fu, old master invites you in."
Fu Qingming nodded and walked into the hall. Right now, his heart was also rather heavy. The Myriad Heavens were more prosperous than the Mountain and Sea Realm, and had more cultivators.
Now that the Dao technique was gone, it would not cause much chaos. Although the Green Jade Palace could straighten things out, the prosperity of the heavens would gradually decline.
Not to mention that, as a Dao God, he relied on good deeds and Dharma. If even the Dao technique didn't exist, it would be difficult for him to maintain himself.
The key was not just the Myriad Heavens, but all the realms he knew were in the same situation. He couldn't even find a way out, so he had to come to Zhang Yan to ask for a solution.
Fu Qingming quickly arrived at the hall. When he saw Zhang Yan, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "I know why you are here."
He stretched out his finger and pointed, and a ray of clear light flowed down like water. When Fu Qingming was illuminated by this light, he felt his entire body tremble. He suddenly realized that in this instant, his original body of Dao God had actually reverted back to the dharma body that he had cultivated when he was still alive.
At this moment, he deeply felt the unfathomable Weili of the Refined God Grand Supreme. He bowed gratefully and said solemnly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for helping me return to my original state."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "It's just a small matter."
Everything in the current world was too weak for the Refined God Grand Supreme. They could do whatever they wanted. Although Fu Qingming had broken free from the restraint of the Dao God, he still hadn't transcended. His life and death were still hanging in the hands of those in the upper realm.
At this moment, he suddenly looked up into the void and said, "It's coming."
Fu Qingming's heart shook. A moment later, an indescribable pressure suddenly enveloped him. It was like a black fog that covered everything. It was boundless and extremely cold. It drowned all his senses. At this moment, it was as if he was the only one left in the heavens.
At this moment, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the feeling. However, the lower generation disciples didn't feel anything. They didn't even know that Just Now, they had already been blocked by the upper realm and their future path had been completely cut off.
After a while, Fu Qingming Just Now withdrew from that feeling. He let out a long sigh. Just Now, the Weili made him unable to have any thoughts of resisting. He shook his head and forcefully expelled the remaining feeling. Then, he silently examined himself and found that he seemed to be no different from Just Now.
But as he examined deeper, he found that something was wrong. On the originally clear and bright bier, there seemed to be a speck of dust that couldn't be wiped away. It was as if he had put a shackle on his body. It turned out that the Dao was no longer harmonious.
Zhang Yan's eyes were extremely deep. Creation Pauline was indeed impressive. She directly exerted her power in the land of creation. As the saying goes, "Cut off the path to heaven, cut off the fate of dharma".
He could feel that if he interfered, he could reverse this power. But it was useless. This power came like water. If he relaxed even a little, it would flow back. And this was under the situation where the other party didn't push him from behind.
If he had fallen out with Ji Zhuang Just Now in the Mirror Lake, although Pauline might not be able to do anything to him, the others were different. Since this treasure could be used to obstruct the Dao of living beings, it could also be used to kill all living beings. If the person killed the world or even the living beings in Bu Xu in anger, he wouldn't be able to stop it.
Fu Qingming sighed, "From now on, I'm afraid we'll be separated forever."
Zhang Yan looked down and said with his sleeves behind his back, "Although the Dao techniques have been broken, the Shen Dao hasn't."
What was very interesting was that even though Bu Xu's fate with the Dao had ended, the gods in the Kun Shi Continent weren't affected at all. This was because they didn't rely on their own cultivation in the first place.
And those strange beasts were no different from before. They didn't cultivate and relied on the power they were born with, so they weren't affected by this.
However, these effects would gradually show up in the days to come. For example, the countries of the Dao on the Kun Shi Continent lacked the support of the Dao techniques. Perhaps there wouldn't be much change now, but as more and more cultivators started to cherish their lives, they might have to rely on the power of the gods in the future.
Previously, he judged that Jizhuang Daoren used so much power to make a fuss about the living beings in the world. Therefore, there should be other actions in the future. He wanted to see what this person would do.
Just as he was thinking, the formation spirit came to report, "Master, Exalted Dan Yi has come to visit."
Zhang Yan: "Invite him in."
Dan Yi quickly came to the front of the hall. Seeing that Fu Qingming was also there, he nodded to him and went forward to greet Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan invited them and said, "Fellow Daoists, please sit down and talk."
The two of them expressed their gratitude and sat down.
After Dan Yi sat down, he bowed again and said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist can explain the origin of this Dao technique?
Zhang Yan: "The Mortal World's Dao technique is the ability of a supreme treasure. As for the specific reason, because it involves a few powerful figures, I can't tell Fellow Daoist. Although this power can't be stopped now, this situation won't last forever. There will definitely be a day when it changes, so Fellow Daoist doesn't need to be too pessimistic."
Dan Yi sighed and said, "But the impact is still too great. Although it doesn't harm us, there are very few cultivators who can reach the upper realm. After millions of years, the sects will definitely decline."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Dan Yi said, "I want to join forces with fellow Daoists to create a place that contains the essence of the Spirit Vault. We will use our supernatural powers to protect this place. Now, all cultivators can hide in it and be considered to be separated from the human world. As long as cultivators don't leave this place, they can enjoy a long life. This way, they might be able to last until Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan changes the situation. At that time, the cultivators of the various worlds won't suffer too much loss."
When Fu Qingming heard that, he nodded in agreement as well. With the might of their own Divine Abilities, it was sufficient to protect the world from being destroyed. He said, "Not long ago, we promised the three clans of the Heavenly Fiends that in the future, their disciples would be able to compete with the disciples of our Human Path to determine the ownership of the Darkstone. Now it would seem like this method is the right one. At the very least, they won't cause trouble for us anymore."
Zhang Yan thought for a while. This place that contains the essence of the Spirit Vault was actually to separate a realm from the outside world. The inside contained the essence of the world, while the outside was mundane. In this way, mortals and cultivators would be completely separated. But at the moment, it was still a way to prolong the existence of the various sects. He nodded and said, "This method is also feasible. Fellow Daoists, please do as you see fit."
Seeing that he agreed, Dan Yi thanked him and left with Fu Qingming.
Zhang Yan stood in the palace and thought about a way to resist Good Fortune Pauline.
Just now, when the Weili seeped in, he saw everything clearly. Although Good Fortune Pauline could affect all living beings, she had no effect on the entire land of fortune, so she shouldn't be able to shake the Good Fortune Weili.
It should be because Pauline's power had avoided the Good Fortune Weili. Otherwise, once the two collided, there would be a conflict.
That was why he speculated that the reason Pauline's power could seep in was because the Inner Realm's power hadn't been expelled yet. If he could completely integrate the power of the Busu Heaven, he should be able to block it.
He glanced at the Busu Heaven. If he didn't count the realm that might be hidden, he could see that there was only one part of the Chaos Sky that was still outside the Busu Heaven. However, it wouldn't be long before he closed in.
Once he took control of the Chaos Sky, he would begin to investigate the secret places. He would try to expel the foreign force that was obstructing him and not give her any loopholes to exploit.
At the same time, he needed to find a treasure to resist Good Fortune Pauline. He already knew the origin of this treasure, and there seemed to be more than one of it. The best result would be to find another one. That way, he would be able to resist Good Fortune Pauline. Although the hope was very slim, he still had to try.
