Zhang Yan explained his conjecture to Hongho and Yao Han. Both of them fell into deep thought after hearing it.
There were actually differences between Virtuous Ones as well. Due to the difference in their cultivation, the choices they made when the creation essence was broken would be different.
Some people could only be dragged along by the power and had no control over themselves, such as those who had been devoured.
Some people not only wanted to survive, but they also wanted to find the Great Dao while fighting against the Spirit of Creation. Those who could sit on the Great Dao Chessboard were all like that.
Therefore, they could understand why some people would scatter their Weili when they realized they couldn't resist the Spirit of Creation.
Patriarch Yao Han was the first to speak. "I thought this Fellow Daoist had already been devoured by the Spirit of Creation. I didn't expect there to be such a twist. It's very possible that this person's Weili contained the Dao in a certain place. I remember that this Fellow Daoist's Dao is known for fusing various things."
Patriarch Hongho waved his sleeve. "Whether this Fellow Daoist left behind the Dao or not doesn't matter. As long as the Spirit of Creation is looking for something, it can't do as it pleases."
They all knew that the Spirit of Creation didn't do this before not because it didn't have its eyes on the Dao, but because it didn't have a chance.
As long as it took the initiative to do something, it would be targeted and destroyed by the Virtuous Ones. Therefore, it had been holding back.
However, it was different now. The mighty force fell on everything. On the surface, it was only to obstruct the fusion of the essence of creation. With this layer of obstruction, this fellow could be at ease to search for the Dao technique that might be hidden somewhere.
Patriarch Yao Han said, "This is a Dao after all. It's best if we can take it. If the Spirit of Creation sees us obstructing it, it might use the Great Dao Chessboard to snatch it away."
Zhang Yan nodded. If the Spirit of Creation saw that the situation wasn't right, it could directly place a piece on the Great Dao Chessboard and exchange it for the Dao. That was very likely.
Looking at it this way, this person wouldn't suffer any loss or pay any price. It seemed unnecessary, but in reality, it was different.
Since the ownership of this Dao technique was unknown, the Spirit of Creation could snatch it, but they could also do the same. Moreover, that Daoist was a member of Great Virtue, so they had a higher chance of obtaining the Dao technique. If it was obtained by the Spirit of Creation, then they would lose a Dharmic Dao that they could have originally obtained.
He said, "There's one thing that the Spirit of Creation can't compare to us, and that is that the true master of the Weili is with me. As long as I exert my strength to guide him, there's a higher possibility of obtaining the Dao technique first."
Although the Daoist dispersed the Weili, he must have hoped that Da De's side would be able to win against the Spirit of Creation. Only then would he be able to recover, so he could convince him to take the initiative to help.
Daoist Hong Min said, "If it is as fellow Daoist said, and he doesn't even know his own name, then it will be very difficult for him to find his own Dao."
Zhang Yan nodded. This was indeed a problem.
Yao Han and Hong Bo knew this Daoist, but they did not say his name. This was not because they were afraid, but because they could not say it.
More importantly, the Daoist did not know his own name either.
Name was Dao, the foundation of oneself, and also a way to prove one's existence.
It was not that there were no almighty beings who had countless clones, each with a random name, but if their true self remained the same, then they would still be one person. There was no difference between them, but it was just a change.
If their true self was different, then they would be like those Spirit of Creation who had transcended the world and borrowed bodies. They would completely become an individual, and each of them would have a name, but at the same time, the power of the true self would be divided.
And for those who claimed that they could not be described with words, had no name, and were unimaginable, if they were really as they claimed to be, then they could only be said to be existences that had completely broken away from the rules.
Without rules, all the things in the world would be meaningless to them, and they would not be able to affect anything. In that case, they could be regarded as non-existent.
In reality, no matter how Weili this Daoist was described, the description itself still existed among the lower classes.
Because if this Daoist was really so impressive, then there would not even be a description of him in the world. The more they tried to describe him, the more it proved that his Weili was far from being that grand, so they tried to use such an empty method to make people understand his Weili.
Ancestral Master Ling You once said that one could be far away, but one could also be close. In fact, he was speaking of a higher level of truth. One could be in a supreme realm, far away from the shackles of the world, and at the same time, land among all living things, making them close to one another.
Ancestral Master Hong Bo raised his voice and said, "This Daoist escaped a calamity in the past, but this time, there is nowhere to hide. He can only save himself, and we can save him."
Ancestral Master Yao Han said, "Daoist Xuanyuan, why don't you ask this Daoist to try to find it first? If he really can't do it, then he can use his Daoist technique to make the first move. Even if we can't obtain another Daoist technique, we can't let the Spirit of Creation take it."
Zhang Yan nodded in agreement. Although this seemed to have the same result as the Spirit of Creation placing a piece, the chessboard of the Great Dao would be moved by them again. They would place several pieces continuously without stopping, and the accumulated advantage would be even greater.
After discussing with the two of them, he returned to the Divine Will and gathered the figure of the Daoist with a thought.
The Daoist first bowed and said, "Daoist friend, is there anything else?"
Zhang Yan said, "I Just Now, I was carefully observing outside and saw the Weili Spirit of Creation wandering back and forth in the land of creation. It didn't seem to be obstructing us, but it seemed to be looking for something. After discussing with fellow Daoist friend, I made some deductions with the two Daoists, and we all think that fellow Daoist's Daoist technique might not have dissipated. "
The Daoist was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "If that's the case, then the Spirit of Creation is probably looking for the Daoist technique that I lost outside."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "That's right. If the Spirit of Creation finds it, it can become a chess piece against us."
The Daoist said, "I know what fellow Daoist means. You want me to find the Daoist technique again, and I am willing to do so. If all of you aren't here, I won't be able to survive. However, my body is broken, and my memory is extremely incomplete. I can't even find my own name, and the Weili is even weaker. How can I do this?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Back then, fellow Daoist used the Weili to carry the Daoist technique, so you definitely don't want to lose it. You must have set up a backup plan so that you can find it again. As for the Weili, since fellow Daoist was able to leave it in Bushu Heaven, even if not all of the Weili was placed here, there must be a lot of it scattered here. I can help fellow Daoist search here and see if I can collect some mana."
The Daoist naturally wouldn't refuse. If he could recover his original mana, who would be willing to be just a mental image? So he cupped his hands and solemnly said, "Then I'll leave it to fellow Daoist."
After Zhang Yan finished talking with him, he withdrew from the Divine Will. Then, with a thought, the Daoist's figure appeared outside. However, it was a mental image after all, so the figure was still blurry and hard to distinguish. After a while, the person sank into Bushu Heaven under the guidance of Zhang Yan's Weili.
However, it was just a gathering of a mental image. If he was careless, he could be submerged in the long river of the Great Path, so this was a last resort.
After the Daoist sank into Bushu Heaven, he began to guide his own Weili.
At this moment, Bushu Heaven had already combined many Essence of Creation, so the range of this person's search was actually wider than before. However, he didn't stay here for long and quickly returned.
At this moment, his figure had become much more solid. He said, "I have indeed found some Weili, but it's still far from enough. If I really have a Weili that carries the Great Path, it shouldn't be here."
Zhang Yan thought for a while. This wasn't good news. This Weili might still be in those unknown territories, and it was very likely that it wasn't fixed in one place. Instead, it was avoiding the search of external Qi. If this was really the case, then they would only be able to find it when the last place of Essence of Creation appeared.
This wasn't to say that they couldn't search directly, but if they did so, the Spirit of Creation would definitely be able to sense their purpose. So, they would at least not lose anything by directly searching for the Dao by placing a chess piece.
The Daoist pondered for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have thought of a way Just Now, but I don't know if it can be done."
Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist, you can speak frankly."
The Daoist said, "If it is as you said, if I have a Weili that carries the Dao outside, then I definitely won't use it to transform into an incarnation."
Zhang Yan nodded. If this person had an incarnation, then he wouldn't have hidden himself for so long, and the Spirit of Creation wouldn't have been unable to see him.
The Daoist continued, "If that's the case, then there's a way. Since the Dao technique didn't return to the Great Way and didn't turn into a clone, then it's just that it hasn't merged with my consciousness. If you can send me into the long river of the Great Way, with my divine will, I'll be able to peek into the Dao of the past. When I come out, I'll know where the Dao technique is. However, the difficulty here is that you'll have to find a way to bring me back, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get lost in it."
Zhang Yan said, "If that's all, then it's not difficult."
This person was originally a Bhadanta. Even if only his consciousness and some Weili remained, his level was still there. It wasn't difficult to send him into the long river of the Great Path, but the key was how to come back.
Usually, this would require the Creation Pauline, but this item was already broken, so it was impossible to find it again. Moreover, based on this person's ability, he didn't have the ability to do so. Fortunately, he had the strength to break the long river at any time and bring it back.
The Daoist bowed and said, "If that's the case, then I have some confidence."
At this point, he had a trace of regret and shook his head, "Unfortunately, my own Weili is lacking, or else I could immediately use the long river of the Great Path to bring it back, and I wouldn't have to find it after coming out."
Zhang Yan smiled. If this person had enough Weili, maybe he could directly bring the Dao out, and there would be no need to do anything else. This itself was a contradiction. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed, sending the person into the long river of the Great Path.
