After sitting in meditation for fifty years, as his consciousness advanced, Zhang Yan could pry open more and more Weili, and his progress was much faster than before. He knew that he would soon be able to use all of Busutian's Weili.
However, he also discovered that if he tried to entrust his Weili to Creation Pauline, there would not be any leakage of external force, and it would not trigger any changes in the heavenly secrets. This meant that if he used Pauline's protection, then before he took that step, others might sense it, but they would not necessarily know where the problem was.
However, because Busutian's strange power had not been completely eliminated, there were still some loopholes, so anyone who paid attention would be able to sense it.
Just as what Yuan Mei had said, although his advancement would not trigger that existence, but Ji Zhuang and Yao Han might not allow him to enter the third degree realm so smoothly. They might even try to obstruct him so this was a place where he needed to take precautions in advance.
After thinking for a while, his thoughts moved, and the figure of the Daoist appeared in front of him again. Although the face was still blurry, compared to the last time, the figure was no longer illusory, but much more solid.
He asked a question that he had long wanted to know, "Fellow Daoist should have had Creation Pauline in the past. May I know where this Pauline is now?"
Before the essence of creation was broken, every Virtuous Virtue should have a Pauline in hand, so he wanted to see how this person would answer.
Although the other party had taken the initiative to transmit his thoughts and told him the way to enter the third stage, it did not necessarily have friendly intentions, so he wanted to use this opportunity to test the other's attitude.
The Daoist did not speak, only pointing.
However, Zhang Yan felt a wisp of Qi being transmitted from the figure, and it was coming towards him.
He thought about it in his heart. Pauline was attracted to each other, and he had a lotus petal in hand. If he added this wisp of Qi, he might be able to find the whereabouts of that person, Pauline.
However, this would not be easy, otherwise Yao Han, Ji Zhuang, and the others would not have waited until now to find Pauline.
Now he was racing against time with Yao Han and Ji Zhuang to enter the third stage before the two Weili returned, so he could not wait to find this thing, so he had to act as soon as possible.
However, there was no need for Pauline to give up on Creation. After all, this thing still had great use. Even if he could not find it now, when he entered the third stage, it should be relatively easier to search for it.
As for the Daoist releasing this wisp of Qi, could it be to intentionally lure him to go and then secretly use it to return? There was no need to think about this, the person did not have such great ability.
The reason Yuan Mo's incident happened was because his strength was low, and the person behind the scenes was also a treasure spirit, so they could devour each other. If it was a cultivator with a human body, it would be impossible.
The only thing he had to guard against was that before he entered the third stage, he had to make sure that the Daoist's will could not disturb him. Here, he only needed to disperse it. The other party was already in pieces, and without the support of his Weili, it was no longer a threat.
Patriarch Yao Han was sitting in meditation when he suddenly felt something in his heart. It wasn't as abrupt as before, but lingered around him. Although it wasn't a warning, it was a reminder that something related to him was happening, and it had a profound effect on him.
He tried to calculate it, and his heart jumped. "This is …"
He had no way to calculate the real result, but he could confirm that it came from Bu Xu Tian. There were not many things that could affect him. Even if he did not use the divination technique, he could roughly guess what it was.
His expression was somewhat uncertain.
In the past, he had never treated Zhang Yan as his main opponent, because the latter did not have the Creation Pauline. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for him to enter the third stage.
Even if he could, he did not think it would be faster than him recovering his strength. But now, it seemed that Zhang Yan was likely to be ahead of him, so he had to be careful.
When Yuan Jin met with Zhang Yan, there were a few things he said that were correct. Entering the third stage of the Spirit Refinement realm meant stepping onto the path of battle. Even if Zhang Yan did not have any plans to deal with Yao Han and Ji Zhuang, the two were still worried that he would harm them once he succeeded.
Ancestor Yao Han kept thinking. If possible, it would be best to stop this. However, he was limited by his own cultivation, and his Pauline was not complete. He could not shake Bu Xu Tian. Otherwise, the clans would not be in such a deadlock.
Just as he was deep in thought, a ray of spiritual light suddenly flew over. He summoned it and saw that it was Daoist Ji Zhuang who had sent him a message. He could not help but smile playfully.
Ever since he recovered a portion of the Weili, the two of them had maintained a friendly relationship on the surface, but they had been secretly targeting each other. They had not communicated with each other in private. But now that this person had come to invite him, he must have sensed it and could not sit still.
He thought about it for a moment before his body flashed and he arrived below a spell platform.
Jizhuang Daoren cupped his hands and said, "Please come up for a chat, Fellow Daoist."
When Patriarch Yao Han arrived at the altar, he bowed and sat opposite Ji Zhuang.
Jizhuang Daoren said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know why I invited you here?"
Ancestor Yao Han sighed, "I didn't expect that in our bitter struggle, this person would be ahead of us. I wonder how this Pauline, who has no fortune, could reach this step. "
Jizhuang Daoren was expressionless, "As I expected, it was the collision with Pauline that caused the void to crack, allowing Daoist Xuanyuan to obtain the fortune."
Ancestor Yao Han knew that he was being blamed, but he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed, "Then it is the will of the heavens."
Daoist Ji Zhuang said, "We have to find a way to stop this. Even though we don't know if Daoist Xuanyuan will succeed until the very end, but if he manages to grasp that sliver of Heaven's Secret, then we might not even be able to rely on him."
Ancestor Yao Han said, "Then what do you have in mind, Fellow Daoist?"
Jizhuang Daoren said, "We cannot force this matter. Daoist Xuanyuan is Bu Xu Tian's master, and he controls many places of fortune. If he refuses to come out, the two of us will not be able to take him down even if we work together."
What he said was one of the reasons, but there was another. He wanted Zhang Yan to help him maintain the Heavenly Order. If he directly went to Zhang Yan's doorstep, Zhang Yan would definitely overturn the previous agreement and lead the cultivators behind him to fight against him. If that happened, all his previous actions would be meaningless.
Right now, he wanted to suppress Zhang Yan, but at the same time, he did not want to suffer too many losses.
Forefather Yao Han smiled. He knew what Ji Zhuang was thinking, so he said, "You're in a dilemma. But if we call on Yuan Mo, who knows … "
Jizhuang Daoren's attitude was very firm. "Yuan Mo's origin is unknown, and he has the ability to control Pauline. He is more of a threat to us than Daoist Xuanyuan. We cannot use this person. If there is a chance, we must find a way to get rid of him."
If the three of them pressured Bu Xu Tian together, they might be a threat to Bu Xu Tian, but how could Zhang Yan give in? If there was a conflict in the end, he was not confident that he could do anything to Zhang Yan. Moreover, Yuan Mo would not truly be on their side. It was not hard for him to imagine that once Zhang Yan was eliminated, he would be next. If Zhang Yan was still around, it would be more beneficial for him.
Ancestor Yao Han said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist already has an idea."
Jizhuang Daoren said, "This is what I have been thinking. If he wants to go to the third stage, he must take that step. But he does not have the fortune of Pauline, so maybe we can …"
Ancestor Yao Han narrowed his eyes, then said meaningfully, "What if he comes back soon?"
Jizhuang Daoren said, "Then it depends on how fast I am."
As they spoke, they felt another throbbing. But this time, the two felt some kind of threat. They were probably plotting how to stop Zhang Yan, which affected the karma between them.
Previously, Zhang Yan had only threatened them. It was hard to say whether he would attack them. But if they really made up their minds, the situation would immediately change from a peaceful confrontation to an intense battle.
The two of them went silent for a while. Clearly, they understood that they had already offended Zhang Yan the moment they decided to act. The path of obstruction was different from anything else. If the other party really succeeded, he would definitely not be polite to them.
Jizhuang Daoren said after a long time, "We have no other choice. We cannot sit by and watch him succeed. We can only try to divert his path. Moreover, if we succeed, we will have nothing to do with him. It is a good thing for both of us."
Ancestor Yao Han said, "That is not a good thing. But Fellow Daoist is right. Even if I do not want to offend him, there are times when I have no other choice."
Jizhuang Daoren knew that he agreed and said, "When that time comes, I hope Fellow Daoist will not hesitate."
Ancestor Yao Han smiled and said, "I don't want to see anyone above me." With that said, he stood up and disappeared with a wave of his sleeve.
On the other side, Yuan Mei was still in the Land of Fortune, tidying up his broken Weili.
Ever since he arrived here, he had been on guard, afraid that Yao Han and Ji Zhuang would come to find trouble with him. Fortunately, everything was peaceful outside. What he worried about did not happen. As the Weili gradually recovered from chaos, he felt that as long as no one disturbed them, it would not take long for them to recover.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He hurriedly tried to deduce, and it didn't take long for him to roughly guess where the source of this place was.
He quickly calculated in his mind. The first thing that came to his mind was not to stop them, but to use this to his advantage.
He believed that although Zhang Yan was on the path to the third stage, he would not be faster than him. Now, as long as he could straighten out all the Weili and borrow the power of fortune, he could take that step at any time. He was just worried about Yao Han and Ji Zhuang, so he had been looking for a way.
But now, he realized that maybe he could use this to his advantage.
Yao Han and Ji Zhuang would definitely place their attention on Zhang Yan when they came down and he had the Good Fortune Treasured Lotus. As long as he carefully concealed himself and hid behind Zhang Yan, his journey towards the upper realm would not attract their attention. When he officially stepped into the third stage realm, it would be impossible for them to stop him.
