Within Zhang Yan's Divine Will, the visualized image was still standing there, unmoving. After an unknown amount of time, the image finally underwent some kind of change, and it rippled like water.
Zhang Yan's figure flickered, and he finally walked out of it.
As for the visualized image, it seemed to be missing something, turning into an illusory image.
After he disintegrated it, it only existed here, and it could no longer be drawn out of the Divine Will. Perhaps this was normal for ordinary people, but for Spirit Refinement cultivators, it was not normal.
He took one more look, and then retreated from the Divine Will.
No matter how a cultivator moved in the Divine Will, it was only a moment for the outside world.
Therefore, even if something really happened inside and outside of Bu Xu Tian, as long as he was not lost in the Great Dao transmitted by the Great Virtue, he would still be able to come out and clean up the situation.
However, for a short moment, he really did disappear. It could be said that at that moment, Bu Xu Tian did not have a master, and if an enemy seized this opportunity, they might really be able to break in.
Fortunately, he had left his avatar outside, which could be considered a barrier. Although it could not deal with the incoming enemy, it only needed to hinder them slightly, and it would be enough for him to turn around and face the enemy directly. Even Daoist Ji Zhuang, who had the Lotus of Fate, could not deal with him, the master, in Bushtian.
At this moment, he looked inside and outside of Bu Xu Tian, but he did not spread out his Weili. Instead, he first considered the problem of cultivation.
All the Great Dao he saw this time was actually transmitted by the consciousness of a certain Great Virtue.
Just as he had thought, these things were not meant for a single person. Any Deity Refinement cultivator who had cultivated to his level actually had the right to come into contact with them. It was just that right now, he was the only one who was the most suitable.
Although he didn't have any communication with this Virtuous Benevolent, he had learned a lot from this Virtuous Benevolent through the collision of their magic power.
After successfully coming out of the visualized image, he already knew where the most fundamental problem was. Once this problem was solved, he also understood how to step into the third stage.
Even though he still lacked some necessary conditions, from now on, he would not fall into the endless Great Dao no matter how many unknowns he unraveled.
In fact, his harvest this time was not limited to these. He had even glimpsed a trace of the power of a Virtuous Lord.
It could be said that if a virtuous benefactor truly returned in one piece, he or she could easily send everyone in the Void of Silence into eternal silence. As long as they had not yet reached that person's level, they could not be considered an equal opponent.
Perhaps the returning Bhadanta would not necessarily do so, but how could he place his hopes on his magnanimity?
No cultivator was willing to endure the fact that their existence and destruction were in the hands of others.
However, if he wanted to go up, he was still lacking something crucial. He needed something to entrust it to.
After solving the fundamental problem, he also understood why the rumored Virtuous Lords had a Creation Pauline. It was because this item could not only complete the most crucial step, but also did not need to be afraid of being disturbed by other Weili peers. It was no wonder that Ji Zhuang was able to recover a part of his power after obtaining this item.
Although he had a lotus petal with him, it was now clear that this petal should belong to Ji Zhuang. Others might be able to use it, but it needed his permission.
Even if he tried to strengthen this item, he would not be able to use it for himself in the end. Moreover, once it was taken out of the Divine Will, as long as Ji Zhuang was willing, he could take it back at any time.
Therefore, he did not plan to use this item again. But now, he could use this item's Qi as a guide to find similar items.
Logically speaking, the Pauline held by each Virtuous Lord could not be used by anyone other than himself. However, from the consciousness transmitted by the Virtuous Lord, after the Creation Essence was broken, the two had separated.
Therefore, these Pauline were currently in a state of no owner. Unless, like Ji Zhuang, a part of his power had returned, it could not be used.
Therefore, as long as he could find a lost Pauline in time and use it to seek the upper realm, then even if these Virtuous Lords returned, they would not be able to hinder him.
After the disappearance of Zhang Yan's Weili, many Spirit Refinement cultivators had been paying attention to Bu Xutian's movements, but they did not see his Weili reappear.
Even so, no one dared to act rashly.
There were different reasons here. If one said that Bu Xutian was because of Zhang Yan's deterrence in the past, and there was no one strong enough to cause trouble, then no one dared to act rashly. On the other hand, in Mirror Lake, everyone had too many plans, and they were wary of each other. This happened to maintain a delicate balance.
After making his decision, Jizhuang Daoren no longer paid attention to this matter. Instead, he took advantage of the disappearance of Zhang Yan's Weili to search for the land of creation.
If he was lucky enough to find a place, then he could take it for himself. At the same time, he continued to spread the Dao to many other realms.
However, what made him unhappy was that he was originally the sole ruler of Mirror Lake, but now there were other people passing down the Dao. It was not difficult to see that this was the doing of Ancestor Yao Han.
However, after thinking about it, his reaction was just as Ancestor Yao Han expected. He did not question them, nor did he do anything. He acted as if he did not see anything.
Of course, he didn't have the time or confidence to deal with Patriarch Yao Han right now. Another reason was that the inheritance of a Dao Art couldn't be overturned by supreme power alone. This involved a deeper level of profundity.
If that was not the case, he could directly use the Weili to change the consciousness of all living beings, or create countless living beings that believed in his Dao. That would be much simpler.
However, although he could not forcefully interfere with the Dao, he could act against the Dao Master. Once the source was destroyed, there would naturally be nothing left to do.
Although he could not do anything for now, once he returned from the Weili, he could easily deal with all of this.
In the cave where the statues were located, another hundred years had passed since Pan Xi had escaped.
Ancestor Tai Heng was still in the cave dwelling, continuing to pass on the methods of escape that he had gathered over the years to the remaining statues that were still bound.
At the same time, he advised them that even if they had no hope of cultivating the Dao, it was better than having their souls destroyed. So, it was fine as long as they could escape now. Everything else could be considered later.
Among the remaining statues, there was one that had the most vitality. This was one of the three statues that he had his eyes on. The first two had already escaped, but this one had yet to break free.
He had already seen that the reason this statue was able to persist until now was not because his cultivation was higher than others, but because he had a longer lifespan than others.
Recently, the life force on the statue finally began to move. First, countless flowers bloomed on the statue, and then they withered and withered. However, every time a flower fell, it would take away a strand of binding force. Then, flowers would bloom where the original spot was. As this process continued, the inside of the cave gradually became filled with a strange fragrance and brilliant colors.
After dozens of days, when the vitality reached its peak, the statue turned into countless petals that fluttered in the wind. A tall and heroic woman walked out.
She tidied up her makeup a little before cupping her hands towards Patriarch Tai Heng and saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for helping me escape with your heart transmission technique."
Ancestor Tai Heng shook his head, "There is no need to thank me. You were able to escape because of yourself."
The female cultivator in front of him also did not accept his kindness, even though she almost couldn't escape in the end. It was clear that she was a person with a strong temper.
Dandy Guang walked into the cave dwelling and looked at the female cultivator. He bowed and said, "Are you Enlightened Yuling?"
Enlightened Yuling looked over and bowed, "I am. How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
Dandy Guang said, "I am the sword-bearing disciple of the Grand Elder, Dandy Guang."
Yuling's cultivation was not as profound as Ancestor Tai Heng's. Even though her consciousness still existed, she kept it inside and didn't take the initiative to observe the changes outside. Therefore, she didn't know the identity of Dandy Guang and the others. However, now that she mentioned it, she knew why the Grand Elder was here.
She said, "What does Fellow Daoist Dandy Guang want?"
Ancestor Tai Heng interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Dandy Guang, Fellow Daoist Yuling and I are both from the Nine Continents. Why don't I explain the details to Fellow Daoist Yuling?"
Dandy Guang didn't care about all of this. It was fine as long as the person who came out wasn't an extreme person. If it was someone like that, he would immediately kill that person to avoid future troubles. So, he said, "That's fine as well. However, if anyone wants to leave this place, you have to inform us first."
Ancestor Tai Heng bowed and said, "That will be the case."
Dandy Guang nodded at him, then flicked his sleeves and left.
Ancestor Tai Heng turned around and told Yuling everything he knew.
Jade Mausoleum shook her head and said, "I never imagined that after I left, the sects of the Nine Continents would change in such a way." She sighed. "Sect Leader Qin and Sect Leader Yue led the sects to Ascension, and then successfully settled down in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Such ambition, courage, and even methods are rare."
Ancestor Tai Heng nodded and said, "When I first heard about this, I was also quite impressed by them."
Yuling then asked, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Tai Heng received guidance from the founder of the Qincang Sect, the Great Underworld Patriarch. What kind of person is this Patriarch?"
Because of herself, she was quite interested in the past heroes of the Nine Continents and the Patriarchs of the various sects. The Great Underworld Patriarch was the most unfathomable of them all. But when she saw Ancestor Tai Heng, who she had personally interacted with, she couldn't help but ask.
Ancestor Tai Heng pondered deeply for a moment before he sighed. "If Fellow Daoist wants to ask me, then I'm unable to give you an answer. Because I only remember that Founding Ancestor Great Underworld helped me, but I'm unable to recall what he looked like or what he said."
Yuling thought for a moment, then nodded and changed the topic. Clearly, she knew how important this matter was, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After exchanging a few more words, Yuling bid farewell and said that she wanted to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Ancestor Tai Heng said kindly, "The spiritual opportunity here is very good, and there are a few other Fellow Daoists who can discuss the Dao. Why don't you stay for a few more days?"
Yuling said firmly, "Although this place is good, it is where others are, not where I should be. Moreover, the Li Mountain Sect is still here. Even if I want to cultivate, I will have to return to the Li Mountain Sect."
