Zhang Yan looked at where the Qi dynamic was. When the Spirit of Creation placed its piece, the Dao behind it settled in the chessboard of the Great Dao and could no longer be used.
Now, unless a Bhadanta was willing to place the Dao in their hands here and obstruct it, they could not move it away.
However, once the Great Dao was activated, it was not easy to stop it. At the very least, they had to pay a price several times that of their opponent, which was possible Just now.
He felt that such a method was the most inappropriate. Let's not talk about whether the Spirit of Creation or the Virtuous Ones had more stones. Even if their side suppressed the other side, it was impossible for them to do so, because they would be completely led by the other side.
Passively receiving attacks was always disadvantageous to themselves. If they could land a move, they could force the Spirit of Creation to pay a higher price to move it away. This was the most correct response.
He turned his gaze and saw that none of the Bhadantas had made any moves. This could be because the Spirit of Creation had only used the first piece to protect himself and had not revealed his true intentions. That was why the Bhadantas were not in a hurry to make their next move.
He pondered for a moment and felt that this method was reasonable because once the intention of the person who placed the piece was revealed, the opponent would be able to roughly predict the subsequent developments. This was the same for both sides.
Regardless of whether it was the Bhadanta or the Spirit of Creation, they were both proficient in divination. It seemed that no one could grasp their opponent, but in reality, this was not the case. The Dao that both sides grasped was different. Moreover, what ultimately determined the outcome was not only the schemes of both sides, but also the trace of Heaven's secret outside of the Great Dao.
The existence of this trace of Heaven's secret seemed to allow the chessboard of the Great Dao to operate, but at the same time, it also added a trace of variable. This variable determined that until the last moment, no one would know the true outcome.
After the Spirit of Creation placed its first piece, it did not stop. Soon, it placed its second piece, and the rotation of the Great Dao was pushed forward again.
Zhang Yan watched for a moment and quickly saw the changes here. However, he raised his eyebrows. This move of the Spirit of Creation did not directly target the Bhadanta like them. Instead, it was used to protect everything so that it would not be overturned.
It could be said that from this moment on, because of the entire Great Dao, as long as both sides were still competing in this chessboard, it was impossible to destroy everything using any means.
And what was inside everything? It was easy to come to a conclusion without any calculation.
The Spirit of Creation was clearly aiming for the missing Dao. Otherwise, there was no need for it to do such a thing.
After all, this was a Dao Technique. If he could obtain it, not only would he obtain another chess piece, he could also drag the various Dao Techniques onto the chessboard of the Great Dao. If the Spirit of Creation won, then he could conveniently complete the Dao Technique.
Because of this, this piece had to be fought for.
However, even though the Virtuous Ones were aware of this, they couldn't possibly step forward to stop the second move. This was because this was also beneficial to them, and they even hoped for it to be so. But in this way, the situation was undoubtedly more favorable to the Spirits of Creation. They had already placed down two pieces in a row, and they had no time to react.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, Now that the Spirit of Creation's third piece is placed, no matter what, our side will have to react.
If the Spirit of Creation was allowed to push the Great Dao forward without any qualms, then his advantage would accumulate, and it would become more and more difficult to stop. If they were careless, it would accumulate to a point where they couldn't reverse the situation. If it really reached that point, perhaps they wouldn't be able to contend against it.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the Spirit of Creation's third piece had already been placed.
At this moment, the Virtuous Ones and Zhang Yan all saw that the countless realms that were originally hidden deep in the void were now all revealed.
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately guessed the purpose of this move.
Above the original point, there could be countless similar and different realms. For example, a Spirit of Creation that had yet to attain Dao could have countless versions of himself in the countless realms, and these countless versions were actually all Spirits of Creation. There was no difference between who was the master and who was the subordinate.
The only difference was that the realms that were attached to the Land of Creation were unique. In other words, among the similar realms that were constantly being born and destroyed, only this one would exist for a long time.
Therefore, if the Virtuous Ones wanted to obtain the missing Dao, they would usually start from these realms, including himself. It wasn't that he couldn't find the other realms, but that he had entered them. Unless he was Weili and supported this place, these places would only be a fleeting moment for him.
Furthermore, if he were to enter such a place with his mighty power, it was very likely that his own Dao Art would have the upper hand. Under the clash of Dao Arts, the missing Dao might not appear anymore. This was a strenuous and unrewarding task.
However, this move of the Spirit of Creation made all the realms float from the bottom to the surface. Its purpose wasn't to allow them to exist forever, but to kill the countless other realms and make them one. In this way, it only needed to make a fuss in one of the realms to obtain the Dao from it.
Although Zhang Yan currently had the upper hand in this Dao, and the rest couldn't compare to him, if the Spirit of Creation used Dao to push it, it was very likely that he would obtain the missing Dao.
On the surface, exchanging four Dao techniques for one Dao technique, exchanging four pieces for one piece, was unwise. However, if it succeeded, the operation of the Dao would definitely be biased towards that person. Moreover, the Virtuous Ones would lose a Dao technique and have one less piece. Most importantly, they didn't do anything. This was equivalent to giving up the chessboard of the Dao.
There were pieces in their hands but they couldn't land on the chessboard. What was the difference between this and not having any?
Through the connection of Qi, Zhang Yan knew that the Virtuous Ones naturally had a way to deal with it. However, their thoughts were different. Some even suggested to directly take away these living beings.
Without these Spirits of Creation, no matter how powerful the Spirit of Creation was, it naturally wouldn't be able to seize this Dao.
The Spirit of Creation was an existence that depended on the Dao technique. Standing at the height of the Virtuous Ones and looking down, even if it was killed, it had turned to the side that represented the non-existent Dao. It wasn't really gone, and when needed, it could still turn back.
However, in order to stop the Spirit of Creation, they needed to use Dao techniques to suppress it. However, if the Spirit of Creation also responded with Dao techniques, not to mention how to deal with it, at least they had placed a piece on the chessboard of the Dao and prevented the operation of the Dao from continuing to deviate towards that person.
However, he didn't quite agree with this. This move was relatively following the other party's path. Here, they had to find a way to break out of the situation and seize the initiative.
Just Now, he saw that there was actually a place here where they could make a fuss.
The Spirit of Creation was nothing more than gathering all the worlds into one. However, how to gather it and what would happen to the Spirits of Creation after gathering it, all of this wasn't something that could be decided by the Spirit of Creation.
If there was a Spirit of Creation that achieved Dao in the present world, then what that person obtained would definitely be the missing Dao. If he could choose a person to become a Virtuous One and then make that person hand over the Dao technique, then he would naturally be able to obtain this Dao technique.
Of course, this was only a rough plan. His plan wasn't so simple, and there was still a backup plan hidden within.
However, if he wanted to place a piece, he had three pieces in his hand and could do it alone. However, since he was standing in the same formation as the Virtuous Ones and on the same chessboard, he naturally had to consider the overall situation.
The advantage here was that if he obtained the approval of others, then he could completely borrow the power of others to do things, and he didn't need to use his own Dao technique.
However, there was also a disadvantage. If this proposal was rejected or the Virtuous Ones felt that it was inappropriate, it was very likely to shake the Virtuous Ones' confidence in him.
One had to know that up until now, the Virtuous Ones had only tacitly agreed that he was the person to hold the pieces, but they hadn't completely acknowledged that he was the person that could be entrusted to.
Therefore, what he did had to be enough to convince others.
With a thought, he transmitted his thoughts along with the aura and informed the Virtuous Ones of his general idea.
He originally thought that the Virtuous Ones would think about it, but after one of them learned of this, he didn't hesitate to stretch out a finger and send his Dao technique into the chessboard of the Great Dao.
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. Although the person who made this move was sitting in the light and it was difficult to see his face, it wasn't difficult to distinguish that this person was Ancestral Master Ling You based on his aura.
All along, this person's actions had been mysterious and unpredictable, but he didn't expect that this Ancestral Master would be the first to stand out and support his suggestion.
One had to know that this person's action was equivalent to putting an end to all arguments. Whether the Virtuous Ones present were willing or not, for the sake of the overall situation, they had to follow along. Otherwise, this piece would be equivalent to placing it in vain.
Zhang Yan transmitted his divine will and said, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist would be the first to help me."
Ancestral Master Ling You smiled and said, "I'm not helping Fellow Daoist, it's just that Fellow Daoist's divination allowed me to see that I might be able to win against the Spirit of Creation on the Great Dao chessboard. Moreover, I'm afraid that only Fellow Daoist can see the mystery behind this piece."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're overpraising me. With the abilities of our fellow Daoists, it's not difficult for us to divine this."
Ancestral Master Ling You smiled again and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know what it means to be an Omnipotent Being?"
Zhang Yan's expression became serious and he said, "May I ask for your guidance?"
Ancestral Master Ling You said slowly, "I have a saying, 'It can be far away, but it can also be close to people'."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and revealed a thoughtful expression. The meaning of this sentence wasn't just on the surface, there was also the logic behind it.
Ancestral Master Ling You said, "I used to be high and mighty, but there are very few people who can take care of the living beings of the mortal world, even the Spirit of Creation. Therefore, I believe that the person who can obtain this Dao is none other than Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist, you're being modest. The arrangements that everyone made in the nine continents back then were also from the mortal world."
Ancestral Master Ling You shook his head and said, "Even though there was a purpose in those arrangements, we didn't really place the hope of winning here." As he said that, he bowed and said, "I'll leave the rest to Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan bowed back and said solemnly, "I won't let you down."
Ancestral Master Ling You only had one Dao technique in his hand, and if he gave it away, he could only sit and watch others play chess. There was nothing he could do.
What was more sinister was that if the Spirit of Creation was willing to part with one Dao technique and place a piece, he could borrow the power of the Great Dao to devour the person!
