After the spirit of creation imparted the power path technique, it had indeed helped that spirit to alleviate the crisis to a certain extent. After one of the beasts attained Dao, he had even helped that spirit to force back the human path cultivators several times. It seemed like there was still a chance for him to make a comeback.
The spirit of creation's actions were actually following the heavens in a certain sense. Due to the teachings of Yan, after billions of years of dao technique inheritance, almost everyone in the myriad of worlds that had living beings would know how to cultivate Dao.
The disciples of Yan usually didn't need external objects to cultivate, but after the dao technique spread, it wasn't just the teachings that existed. Countless other dao techniques were created by the people of the world. Living in the world, people ultimately had to ask for things from the world, causing the demand for external objects to greatly increase.
The beasts devoured human path cultivators to cultivate, and it just happened to curb this trend. That was why the first beast obtained the origin jade to attain Dao. But after that, there was no more progress. After all, the goal of cultivation itself was to transcend the shackles of heaven and earth. Even the beasts themselves were included in this.
Not only was it more difficult for beasts to cultivate than living beings, but after the human path learned of the threat of this generation, they also took the initiative to encircle and suppress them, greatly reducing the number of beasts. As a result, after billions of years, not a single beast was able to obtain the origin jade, and they all fell into the hands of the human path.
Zhang Yan and the two patriarchs had noticed this a long time ago. Judging from the current situation, that spirit could no longer make a comeback. It was only a matter of time before he was killed by the human path cultivators.
However, they did not relax because of this. When this world disintegrated, the Qi of Creation that was slumbering within it would definitely appear. They also had to think of a way to seize this wisp of creation Qi so that the spirit of creation wouldn't be able to use it again.
Now, it all depended on how the spirit of creation would maintain itself. This was something that humans couldn't avoid no matter what.
Just as they were thinking, the three of them sensed something and couldn't help but look at the chessboard. At this moment, that mysterious feeling appeared again.
Patriarch Yao Han said solemnly, "This is the third wisp of creation Qi."
Patriarch Hong He said, "No matter how much creation Qi he possesses, we'll deal with him one by one. We'll definitely be able to make him exhaust all his means."
At that moment, two more figures appeared beside the spirit of creation on the chessboard.
Zhang Yan raised his head and looked over. He realized that these two people were Jizhuang Daoren and Daoist Weiming. His eyes narrowed slightly. These two people were undoubtedly the spirits of creation.
After the Spirit of Creation swallowed the Great Virtue, it would be able to obtain the Great Virtue, and it could even make the person appear again.
The two of them could be said to be a part of the spirit of creation, but when they were released, they were separated from it. Even their thoughts were completely their own.
Ancestral Master Yao Han said, "The Creation Spirit summoned these two fellow Daoists to use their Weili to sustain itself. Can fellow Daoist use tribulation power to chase them away?"
Zhang Yan shook his head slightly. "The creation Qi is used here. It can no longer be suppressed by tribulation power."
He could sense that the two people's Weili and the three's Weili had collided and intertwined. Even if he tried to wipe them away with his thoughts, he wouldn't be able to get rid of them. This was the effect of the creation Qi.
The Weili of the spirit of creation had also attached itself to them. From now on, even if the spirit of creation was killed by a human path cultivator, it would no longer be suppressed by tribulation power.
Through this indirect method, it had once again cleverly resolved the danger of being chased away.
This method wasn't without its flaws. For example, Zhang Yan only needed to place a piece on the chessboard of the Great Dao to completely erase it. However, if he placed a piece, the spirit of creation would definitely place a piece as well. In this way, it would return to the same old path, and the advantage it had previously accumulated would be handed over to someone else.
After Xiangjue and Weiming appeared, they bowed to Zhang Yan and the two ancestral masters and said, "I didn't think we would meet fellow Daoists again. We had no choice, so please forgive us if we offended you."
Although they had their own consciousness, if the spirit of creation really wanted them to do something, even if it wanted them to fight against Zhang Yan's trio, they wouldn't be able to resist. It could be said that this was the dao of the spirit of creation. Once the Great Virtue was completely devoured, it would be able to control everything.
Zhang Yan understood that if he wanted to sever the spirit of creation's Weili connection, he would have to deal with these two first. But even if these two were just borrowing bodies, they wouldn't be as strong as them. But Great Virtue was still a Great Virtue. This was different from the previous game in the lower levels. If they didn't place a piece to expel them, they would have to use the Weili to eliminate them.
This would be a head-on battle, but in reality, they couldn't do this right now.
Previously, no matter how they played against the spirit of creation, it was only a small-scale Weili confrontation. Even the tribulation power was an advantage brought by the dao of collection.
If they directly attacked the spirit of creation or the body it was borrowing, it would be the same as taking the initiative to move the chessboard. Although they had this plan from the start, the person who retreated first would have to pay a greater price, so they tried to force the spirit of creation to retreat first.
Of course, if both sides were willing to retreat, then it would be like the two sides establishing the chessboard of the Great Dao, and no one would have to pay the price. But the problem was that the spirit of creation clearly hadn't given up on seizing benefits from the chessboard of the Great Dao, so it naturally didn't want to retreat.
Ancestral Master Yao Han said, "If this fellow had used this method before, we might not have been able to do anything to him. Why did he wait until now to use it?"
Zhang Yan thought about it and felt that the most likely reason was that this person had originally used this method to help him devour Ancestral Master Yao Han and Ancestral Master Hongho, so he had been hiding it all this time. Now that he was forced to this point, he had no choice but to use it.
He looked up at the two ancestral masters and said, "Before the spirit of creation uses up all his methods, he clearly isn't willing to give up on the chessboard. If we can't use methods outside of the chessboard to expel Daoist Xiangjue and Daoist Weiming, then we will have to return to the chessboard to resolve this matter."
Ancestral Master Yao Han thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a difficult matter, but …" His tone became slightly heavier, "What if the two of them are willing to cut off their connection with the spirit of creation?"
Zhang Yan's gaze flickered, "Did you learn something?"
Both Daoist Xiangjue and Daoist Weiming were currently under the control of the spirit of creation, but since Ancestral Master Yao Han said so, he wouldn't speak without thinking.
Ancestral Master Yao Han chuckled and looked at Ancestral Master Hongho, "Daoist Hongho, do you have a way to sever the connection between the spirit of creation and those two?"
Ancestral Master Hongho solemnly replied, "I can sever it for an instant, but only for an instant."
Ancestral Master Yao Han pondered for a moment and slowly said, "That is enough." He said to Zhang Yan, "As long as Daoist Hongho severed it for an instant, I will use my Weili to transfer it to Daoist Xiangjue and Daoist Weiming. As long as the two of them don't resist, I will be able to expel the two of them."
Zhang Yan thought about it. According to this method, success or failure would depend on Daoist Xiangjue and Daoist Weiming.
Ancestor Yao Han and Ancestor Hong Bo had only given them a chance to choose. If the two of them were willing to be chased away, then their plan would be a success. However, if they were unwilling or hesitant, then all of this would be for naught.
Now that Daoist Xiangjue and Daoist Hongho had become a part of the spirit of creation, there was no such thing as eternal silence. If they could be expelled, then even if the spirit of creation could evolve them again, the Qi of creation would no longer be able to affect them.
He said, "Previously, we used all sorts of methods to fight against the spirit of creation. Just Now, we have forced it into a disadvantageous position. We can't allow it to easily reverse the situation. Even if there is only the slightest chance, as long as it is beneficial to the battle, it is worth a try."
After a brief discussion, the three of them came to a decision. There was no need to wait for the outcome of the battle in the present world, they could just directly attack.
Ancestral Master Hongho gathered his Qi for a moment, then pressed his fingers together like a sword and slashed forward. In an instant, a wisp of Sword Qi appeared out of nowhere and slashed between the spirit of creation and Daoist Weiming and Daoist Weiming.
At this moment, the connection between the two sides was severed for an instant!
Ancestral Master Yao Han also acted at the same time. With a wave of his sleeve, streaks of dazzling stardust rushed towards the two people and instantly landed on them!
A deep glint flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes. He had also increased the pressure on the Creation Spirit. However, even though they had made arrangements to deal with it, they did not have much confidence. After all, the human heart had always been the most complicated thing.
The reason why the spirit of creation had called out Daoist Hongho and Daoist Hongho instead of others was probably because they had the most thoughts.
What position did the two of them stand on? What did they know about themselves? Had the spirit of creation instilled something into them? They didn't know these, so they couldn't make a clear judgment. They could only wait for the results.
Daoist Hongho and Daoist Hongho were in a trance. They suddenly felt the shackles on their bodies disappear, and the restraints imposed on them by the spirit of creation disappeared as well. Then, a Weili came to push them. They immediately understood the intentions of Zhang Yan and the others.
At this moment, as long as they didn't resist and followed this force, it would only take an instant for them to disappear from everything and return to where they came from.
However, they also knew that if they retreated now, they would never have the chance to come out again.
After being released, they inexplicably learned some things that they didn't know before.
For example, if the spirit of creation seized the Great Dao, they might be able to return it when it reached the upper realm. From this standpoint, it seemed that it was more appropriate for them to help the spirit of creation.
However, they also suspected that this might have been deliberately left in their memories by the spirit of creation. In fact, there was no such thing, so it could be considered a difficult choice. Compared to this, they actually hoped that Zhang Yan and the two Ancestral Masters could use the chessboard of the Great Dao to help them free themselves instead of being so easily eliminated.
