Zhang Yan asked the two Patriarchs about their encounters in the Divine Will, and the results were similar. The two of them were also led to the place where the Creation Essence was, but in the end, they both escaped from the Divine Will. Clearly, they weren't confused by the Creation Essence.
Patriarch Yao Han said, "In the past, when our fellow Daoists discussed the Dao, everyone believed that no matter who had a Dao, as long as one could derive it to the extreme, they would be able to invade the rest of the Dao and occupy all the Great Daos. The Spirit of Creation probably knows this as well, so he lured me to enter it and complete his Dao. He saw that he couldn't seize our Dao Arts on the chessboard, so he wanted to continue doing it in the Divine Decree. "
Patriarch Hongho said, "When he schemed against me, I schemed against him. There's no difference in strength between the Weili in the Divine Will, so it can be considered a fair contest."
Zhang Yan also agreed with this statement. This was how the confrontation between Divine Wills worked. If you want to steal my Dao, I can also steal your Dao. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Spirit of Creation has thrown out all of its Dao Laws, but it can still use its own Dao Law to resist me. It can be said that it has evolved a Dao Law to the extreme."
Patriarch Yao Han agreed, "If we can only place one piece on the chessboard of the Great Dao, then his Dao should be able to withstand the momentum of several pieces."
Zhang Yan nodded. However, the Dao of the Spirit of Creation was innately like this, and it wasn't something that could be obtained through one's own cultivation. In order to have such ability, it was completely because he had endured a portion of the remnant power left behind after the essence of creation shattered.
As far as he knew, there wasn't a single Great Virtue that could cultivate a Dao to this level. Perhaps the Great Underworld Patriarch was infinitely close to this level, or else he wouldn't have been able to lead the Weili to control the Creation Qi to suppress the Creation Spirit.
The difficulty didn't just lie in one's own cultivation, but also in the fact that when one's Dao reached a certain level, it would inevitably leave more marks in the Great Dao. Sometimes, it would invade other Daoists of the same Dao, and conflict would inevitably arise.
Actually, from the perspective of the general trend of the Grand Dao, this was the correct path to seek the Dao. If one annihilated one's opponent, then one would naturally be able to seize the entire Dao Art, whereas if one was annihilated, then everything would come to an end. If one compromised and gave in, then it would naturally be impossible for one to seek the Grand Dao. Even if there really was such a person in the past, that person would have long since been driven into silence by the joint forces of all the Great Virtue.
As for mastering different Daoist techniques, although some Bhadanta had tried to deduce them, before the essence of creation shattered, no one had ever succeeded. Until now, only Zhang Yan had succeeded. Thus, the Bhadanta's choice was to walk the path of pure Daoism to the end.
Therefore, drawing out the Creation Spirit was indeed a way to solve the problem once and for all. For the Great Virtues, as long as they got rid of this person, it would be equivalent to solving all their problems.
In fact, he had a deduction here. Judging from Wei Ming's attempt to let the later ascended Deity Refinement cultivators replace him, maybe there was a Great Virtue who had the intention to seize the Dao Arts from the later generations in order to possess several Dao Arts.
However, doing so would bring about great consequences, because once this precedent was set, in order not to fall behind, all the Virtuous Ones would follow suit. The worst case scenario would be that those who came later would never be able to stand out. Every junior who ascended to this realm would become the resources of their predecessors, and the Virtuous Ones would no longer be able to focus on themselves.
He had always felt that the Great Virtues had drawn out the Creation Essence a little too early. Even the Patriarchs like Hong He, Yao Han, and Ling You had not reached the peak of pure Dao. If the Great Virtues had cultivated to the peak before bestowing the Creation Essence with a spirit, then they might have been able to suppress the Creation Spirit.
Therefore, he suspected that the reason why they did such a thing before the time was right was probably because there was a Bhadanta who wanted to prevent such a thing from happening. This way, they could both explore the Dao and perfectly avoid all internal disputes.
His conjecture only existed in his heart. The two patriarchs did not say much about what happened before the essence of creation broke, so he did not ask further. No matter what the truth was, and no matter what the Bhadanta thought back then, since it had already come to this, then they had to be the ones to settle the loose ends.
At this time, his gaze turned and saw that Patriarch Yao Han was silent. He smiled and said, "Dao Friend, do you have any problems?"
Patriarch Yao Han thought about it and said, "Just Now, it is not that I did not gain anything from the Divine Will, but I am unable to determine the pros and cons. Since Dao Friend has asked, I am willing to let Dao Friend have a look."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Dao Friend." In the Divine Will, everyone saw different things. Perhaps they could get something useful from it.
Ancestral Master Yao Han used his divine will to transmit what he saw to Zhang Yan. He then looked at Ancestral Master Hong He and asked, "Dao friend, do you want to see it?"
Patriarch Hong He shook his head and said, "I don't need it."
Just Now, it was not that he did not see some changes of the Creation Spirit in the Divine Will, but he had discarded them all. The Dao that he had always adhered to was only the sword. He had never thought of accepting the Dao of others, nor would he observe these things.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was indescribable. Through Patriarch Yao Han's transmission, he had indeed seen some things that he had not come into contact with in the Divine Will. As the latter said, it was hard to know if the Creation Spirit had deliberately leaked it or if it had been inadvertently obtained by Patriarch Yao Han.
It was hard to tell for a moment, and after some deductions, he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He found that the heavenly secrets were gradually calming down, and the rules of the Great Dao were about to be transferred back. Most importantly, the Weili Qi activity of the Creation Spirit had also reappeared in his senses.
It was not difficult for him to sense that the Qi activity of the Creation Spirit was currently rising. This should have been caused by him forcibly withdrawing from the Great Dao chessboard, and he was still recovering.
He smiled and said, "Just Now, the Creation Spirit attacked me with the Divine Will, and now it's time for me to return the favor." He looked at Patriarch Hong He and said, "This is a rare opportunity, Dao Friend. Can you make a move?"
Patriarch Hong He agreed and said, "Wait for me to slash." As he spoke, he pointed with his fingers and slashed with sword Qi.
At this moment, the rules of the Great Dao had not been completely restored, but he could already make some changes. His sword technique followed the changes, passing through the layers of obstacles and directly slashed at the Creation Spirit.
The Creation Spirit had already sensed the sword coming, but his Weili was too strong. Before the rules of the Great Dao were fixed, it was very likely that he would suffer more losses if he forcefully resisted an external force. Thus, he forcefully endured the sword, and a layer of his Qi activity Weili was shaved off.
However, with the huge size of his Weili, the damage caused to him was extremely small. However, the purpose of this sword was not to kill, but to stop the recovery of his Weili so that he could gain an advantage before the two of them truly clashed.
After Patriarch Hong He slashed with his sword, he did not stop, and very quickly, he followed up with another sword.
His sword technique was a Dao technique, so in reality, this was a battle between Dao techniques. It was impossible to deal with before the Dao was broken, but to be safe, this sword was completely different from the previous one.
Next, he consecutively slashed over ten times. As the rules of the Great Dao became more stable, his sword momentum, whether it was the changes or the degree of profoundness, were all better than the previous one.
In the beginning, the Spirit of Creation was passively receiving the attacks, but as he observed the sword technique several times, no matter how it changed, it would be deduced by the profoundness of the Dao technique and block them one by one.
However, the goal of the Great Virtue's side was also achieved. Under the disturbance of the Weili, its Qi activity still could not return to its original state.
However, at the moment when the rules of the Great Dao were about to be restored, the Weili suddenly launched a counterattack. In an instant, Zhang Yan and the other two felt an unprecedented heavy pressure coming at them.
Patriarch Hong He and Patriarch Yao Han both had solemn expressions. After going through the power of calamity and even fighting against the Great Virtue, the Creation Spirit's current ability had already far surpassed the essence of creation. Just now, when it shattered, although they were also different from then, the gap between them did not shrink because of this.
At this moment, Zhang Yan took a step forward, clenched his fist, and slammed it horizontally. In the collision, his sleeves fluttered endlessly. The heavy encirclement was smashed by him, and all the obstacles were swept away.
He looked up and saw that the Creation Spirit was shrouded in light, and it was also looking at him.
This was the second time he faced the Creation Spirit head-on after playing the Great Dao Chessboard.
Previously, when the Creation Spirit was trapped by the power of calamity, an avatar had landed and attacked him once. However, at that time, most of its power was still trapped by the power of calamity. Now, it could be said that this avatar was completely unharmed. He did not use the power of Bu Xutian and only used the power of the Dao of Strength to block its attack.
Seeing that its attack had been blocked, the Creation Spirit's body shone brightly. In the next moment, endless light shone, as if it could pierce into one's soul.
As for Zhang Yan, with a thought, the five rays of light behind him swayed and absorbed all of the rays of light. This was purely a battle of Qi and Dharmic powers. As the mighty powers fused and collided, there was an instant when he suddenly felt as if he had gone to another world. He also saw that there were still many imperfections in his Dao, and it seemed like he could only make up for them by defeating this opponent.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his Weili was decreasing bit by bit. He knew that this was the power of the dao of the Creation Spirit, and it could devour the Weili of the Great Virtue. This was also one of the reasons why few great virtues could fight it head-on.
The reason why such a thing didn't happen when he used the Path of Strength to face his enemy was because he had completely obtained the Path of Strength. Moreover, when he faced his enemy, it was straightforward and didn't merge with each other. No matter what kind of transformation his opponent had, as long as his opponent's level wasn't completely above his, he would be able to smash his opponent into pieces.
At this time, the solemn warning of Ancestor Yao Han came through the divine will. "Fellow Daoist, be careful when you come down."
Zhang Yan nodded, and the light in his eyes deepened. Just Now was purely a collision of Weili. The true power of the Creation Spirit did not lie in this, but in the transformation of the dao. It was just that none of the opponents he had met in the past were worthy of this, and he only needed to crush them with pure Weili. So next, he was afraid that he would have to experience a method that no one had seen before.
