Xiang Jue's expression changed slightly when he heard Zhang Yan's words.
He actually wanted to say that Wei Ming also couldn't prove that he was the spirit of creation. But didn't he also occupy two places of creation? Why didn't he go find him? Why did he come to him instead?
But he couldn't really say that. Not only would it not help him get out of his current predicament, but it would also offend Wei Ming.
He also understood that this was just an excuse from Zhang Yan. Wei Ming wasn't here to reason with him unless he had a way to prove that he wasn't the spirit of creation.
But he couldn't do that. Plus, he did have some connection with the spirit of creation, so returning to All You didn't rely solely on his own ability.
He snorted, looked at Zhang Yan, and asked in a questioning tone, "Fellow Daoist, you said that I might be a Spirit of Creation. You're right, it's indeed difficult for me to prove myself, but I also have to ask you, fellow Daoist. Even if you only managed to become a Spirit of Creation after the Spirit of Creation shattered, there were still many Spirits of Creation that entered the All That Exists at that time, and you might be one of them. If that's the case, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate for me to give up this place?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. "If I was the spirit of creation, why would I allow you and Wei Ming to live here? I would have devoured you two long ago and wouldn't have come to negotiate with you now. Wouldn't it be better to just attack? "
Xiang Jue also knew that the possibility of Zhang Yan being the spirit of creation wasn't high. Otherwise, the spirit of creation wouldn't have colluded with him and secretly sent him back to All You. He was just trying to argue.
He understood that he either had to endure it and agree to Zhang Yan's conditions to give up the land of fortune, or he had to reject Zhang Yan's suggestion. If he did, a battle might break out here.
But he didn't think he had much chance of winning. Zhang Yan controlled Bushu Tian and many places of creation. Other than his own mana, he could also mobilize the Weili here. His chances of winning in a head-on clash were slim.
But on second thought, if he just gave up without saying a word, it would seem like he was guilty. If he was really treated as the spirit of creation, he wouldn't be able to clear his name in the future.
After all, this was not a battle to the death. If everything went according to his plan, there was still a chance.
Even if he failed, he might be able to arouse Weiming's suspicions. Since Zhang Yan could oppress him this time, he could oppress others next time.
Thus, he said in a low voice, "It's absolutely impossible for me to retreat just like this. I'm willing to experience a thing or two from Fellow Daoist. If I can't defeat Fellow Daoist, then I naturally have nothing to say."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist wishes to discuss the Dao, I will naturally accompany you."
Xiangjue's face suddenly became a little more solemn. He said, "But if Fellow Daoist and I fight, it will inevitably cause some disturbances. I have a suggestion. Why don't you and I each send out an avatar with the same mana to fight and determine the outcome. Then, the real body will use mana to protect Fellow Daoist. This way, our powers won't harm Fellow Daoist. What does Fellow Daoist think?"
He felt that Zhang Yan's Weili was much stronger than his own. If they fought without restraint, he didn't think he had much chance of winning. But the avatar was different. Its power was limited, and Bushu Tian and many other places of creation could not be mobilized. This way, there was a certain chance of winning. Even if he lost, he could still save some face.
Of course, Zhang Yan had to agree first. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
Zhang Yan glanced at him and smiled. He said, "That's fine. Fellow Daoist still has many Weili trapped in the Robbery Power and can't use their full strength. If I beat you like this, I'm afraid you won't accept it. Let's do as I say."
In fact, this did not make much difference to him. His Qi and Strength Body were combined. After attaining Great Virtue in Qi Path, his Body of Strength Path could only play a supporting role before his Body of Strength Path was completed. However, under the restriction of his strength, he was able to unleash the techniques of his Body of Strength Path.
As for Bushu Tian and the other Weili, he only wanted to deal with Xiangjue, so he didn't intend to use them.
When Xiangjue heard him agree, he relaxed a little and his spirits rose. This way, he still had a small chance of winning. With a thought, he released the Weili and turned it into an avatar. At the same time, the real body also slowly disappeared.
Zhang Yan also retreated. At the same time, he left behind an avatar, and then his figure disappeared into the silence.
Only the two avatars were left standing in the field. However, before they came into contact, the Weili outside had already collided and surged with each other and leaked outwards.
Fortunately, the Weili that both sides used to condense avatars were extremely weak for Great Virtue. Even if they fought each other, as long as it didn't last for a long time and cause the Weili to rise endlessly, it wouldn't be destroyed in an instant.
At the same time, because both sides were using the same amount of power, this battle would depend on each side's fighting methods.
When Zhang Yan came to find Xiangjue, Wei Ming also noticed it. Seeing that the two were about to fight, he paid special attention. As Xiangjue thought, he was also afraid of Zhang Yan's strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the latter's previous proposal. However, he thought that it was useless for the two to work together, so he had to remain patient for now.
On the other side, when the Taoist in purple noticed the changes here, he was shocked.
After the collapse of his previous body, he was extremely vigilant towards Zhang Yan. Because he didn't know the content of the conversation between the two, he was afraid that this matter was because Zhang Yan had found out about his collusion with Xiangjue. Therefore, he didn't dare to look too much. After just a glance, he retreated deeper into the silence.
Meanwhile, in Bu Xu Tian, the attention of the group of Spirit Refinement cultivators was involuntarily drawn over. However, the area where the two forces collided naturally repelled external forces, causing everyone to feel that the battlefield was very blurry.
Only Qing Sheng, Shen Chang, Zhan Yuan, and the others who were inside focused on sensing it, as if they were afraid of missing it.
Previously, Zhang Yan had shattered the Weili Embodiment, allowing those who were watching the battle to benefit greatly. However, that was only the Great Virtue Weili, not the Great Virtue itself. This time, it was a battle between two Great Virtues. Such a scene was extremely rare, and if they could see it, who knew how much they would benefit.
At this moment, where the two avatars were facing each other, Xiangjue cupped his hands and said, "Since you are a guest, please make your move first."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. Here, there were advantages and disadvantages. Since the other party wanted him to make the first move, then he wouldn't be polite. He slowly raised his hand, opened his fingers, and grabbed at Xiangjue.
Each Great Virtue wielded a part of the Great Dao. Even a simple method was the manifestation of the Great Dao. Therefore, the battle between two Great Virtues was like a game of chess. In a situation where both Weili were equal, it would depend on who had a deeper understanding of the Dao and who could use the Great Dao to force the other into a dead end.
When Xiangjue saw the large hand coming, he immediately tried to deduce and use his own understanding of the Dao to resolve this attack. Thus, he raised his hand and gently pushed outwards. In an instant, the power of impermanence was activated, and he gently pushed against the large hand that blocked all senses.
Originally, according to his calculations, he could easily resolve this move and then use his understanding of the Dao to find an opening to launch an attack. Then, he would be able to gain a certain advantage.
However, Zhang Yan's attack not only contained the Dao of Qi, but also the power of the Dao of Strength. His Body of Strength was the foundation of the world and was rooted in everything. It wasn't something that could be easily shaken by the Dao. It required enough Weili to support it.
Therefore, when Xiangjue pushed forward, he immediately realized that something was wrong. How could he not know that he had misjudged?
In the battle of Great Virtues, if there was a mistake in attack and defense, there was almost no possibility of turning the situation around. One could only rely on one's own body to bear it, and then one's Dao would immediately be shaved off by the opponent.
The power of Great Virtue coexisted with the Dao. If one lost a little bit of the Dao, then one's own strength would also be lost. Although it could be recovered after the battle, there was no such opportunity in battle.
And in chess, this was equivalent to losing a piece in the beginning of the battle.
He didn't want to suffer such a terrible consequence right at the start of the battle. This would definitely be disadvantageous to the subsequent battles, so he needed something to bear the burden for him. Thus, with a thought, a dazzling golden lotus appeared in front of him and forcefully stopped the large hand.
Zhang Yan smiled. With a thought, Pauline also appeared outside of his body. With a shake, a brilliance sprinkled, and the endless Weili came pouring over.
Xiangjue's heart trembled. There was no trick to dealing with the Pauline Weili. He could only divide his own Fa Li to resist, but this naturally made it too late for him to fight back.
Zhang Yan didn't intend to be locked in a stalemate with him for a long time. With a command in his heart, a precious pearl appeared out of thin air, and it was indistinct and coiled with Immortal Mist. As soon as it appeared, it had already smashed onto the mighty energy of Sense.
Amidst the rumbling, Xiangjue suddenly felt that he couldn't hold on for long. He knew that he had lost the opportunity and had fallen into an extremely passive situation. With Zhang Yan's ability, there was no way he would give him a chance to counterattack. It was better to admit defeat earlier, at least the situation wouldn't be so ugly.
Therefore, he simply withdrew the Weili and let this avatar dissipate.
A moment later, he walked out of the void and also withdrew Pauline.
At this moment, he frowned, as if he felt that Pauline was missing something, but it also seemed that nothing was missing. This might be related to the battle with Zhang Yan Just Now. Because part of his Fa Li wasn't complete, Pauline wasn't truly complete either. Moreover, he didn't sense any danger at the moment, so he didn't continue to pursue the matter.
He cupped his hands and sighed. "This battle is Fellow Daoist's victory. I will keep my promise and retreat from the land of fortune."
Zhang Yan issued a command in his mind, and the lotus and the High Zenith Divine Pearl vanished without a trace. He said, "What I said earlier still stands. So long as Fellow Daoist can prove himself, then I'll naturally return this place to Fellow Daoist."
Xiangjue didn't say anything more. His figure disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.
Seeing him leave, Zhang Yan left a avatar to go to the land of fortune. Then, with a thought, he returned to the Qinghuan Palace.
After sitting on the jade platform, he flicked his sleeve and a wisp of Pauline's Qi drifted out.
The main purpose of this time was to obtain this Pauline's Qi. Everything else was just incidental. Now that he had succeeded, he could use it to calculate the method to improve his Strength Body.
