"The Good Fortune Spirit seems to have been slain. Why aren't the Virtuous Virtues retreating yet?"
In the myriad of worlds, all the spectators couldn't help but have such questions in their hearts.
Unfortunately, the Virtuous Virtues were so powerful that even Dan Yi and Huan Tong, Soul Tempering cultivators, couldn't understand what was going on. They could only make wild guesses, and conclude that the battle wasn't over yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to see what was going on.
The cultivators of the various sects and clans couldn't be sure of the outcome of the battle, but they were able to learn many things from it. You could say that all of the sects and clans had gained something from the battle. Their horizons had been broadened, and many of the barriers in their Dao Hearts had been removed.
Although the Great Daos and magic were vastly different from theirs, they were still able to see what Dan Yi was able to observe. If someone reached the peak of cultivation in the mortal world, they might be able to gain enlightenment about the mysteries of the Daos and Daos.
However, in the following battles, Zhang Yan had used the Dao of Strength to suppress the Good Fortune Spirit. His profound Daoist magic was full of transformations that the lower-level cultivators couldn't comprehend. However, the Dao of Strength was straightforward, and abandoned all transformations. Everyone could see it clearly.
Just Now, many cultivators realized that the Dao of Strength was not the least bit weaker than the Dao of Qi. In fact, it was superior in some areas. Just by relying on the Dao alone, it was possible to cultivate to a very high level. Because of that, many cultivators decided to walk the path of the Dao of Strength.
However, the higher-level Daoist cultivators were more insightful, and had more considerations. It could be seen that most of the Virtuous Virtues controlled the Dao of Qi, and only one of them used the Dao of Strength. From that, it could be seen how difficult it was to cultivate. Furthermore, if one's own technique could be cultivated to a high level, then what need was there to seek out an incomplete Dao of Strength?
Because of that, many rogue cultivators and smaller sects and clans began to search for the Dao of Strength. As a result, the greater sects and clans did their best to advance the Dao of Strength. As for the larger sects and clans, they maintained their original structure and cultivation methods, and didn't take the initiative to change anything.
As for the Shaoqing Sect of the Mountain and Sea Realm, their focus was different from the other sects. Their focus was not on the outcome of the battle, but rather, on their Patriarch's brilliant use of sword techniques.
Ancestral Master Hongbo's previous few sword strikes were the evolution of Dao Arts, and their level was too high. Even Deity Refinement cultivators who had never grasped Dao Arts were unable to understand it, so it was naturally impossible for them to understand the changes.
However, what they were seeing now was what Zhang Yan was seeing. They had gotten a bargain here, so even if they didn't understand it now, they could try to imprint it in their consciousness and look at it again in the future.
However, they quickly noticed that the things they'd memorized were actually ceaselessly being forgotten, and in this way, they would probably only be able to retain the purest bits in the end.
But even this little bit contained endless truths, reaching the upper limit of their own understanding. In order to preserve these profound truths as much as possible, all the cultivators of the upper echelons did their best to memorize them, and then combined their strength to refine a magic treasure to carry them.
It could be said that thanks to the personal guidance of the Shaoqing Patriarch Hongbo, the cultivators of the Shaoqing Sect had gained far more than the cultivators of the other sects. Given time, they might be able to change the situation in which they had been lacking disciples for so long.
Zhang Yan circulated his magic for a long time, and finally finished the evolution of the First Nascent Power that he had derived from his own Dao Art. With a thought, he summoned that power, and as if he had knocked open a door, his consciousness was pushed to an unfathomably high place.
Here, even without entering the River of the Great Path, he could still see the law power of the Spirit of Creation. At that moment, countless law power evolved in his eyes. Then, he stretched out his hand and tapped on the law power circulation with one finger.
Every Virtuous Virtue had their own fundamental Dao Art. However, the Dao Art he used this time was not their own fundamental Dao Art, but rather an evolution of it.
It was the side of the Great Dao that was in chaos.
If there was anyone who had the deepest understanding of this Dao, it would undoubtedly be Fengdu.
After Fengdu handed over his own Dao Art, he understood the many changes in it. Otherwise, he would not have been able to turn his Dao Art into chess pieces and place them on the chessboard of the Great Dao.
However, it was different from the Dao Art of the Spirit of Good Fortune using Ying Kong, Xiang Ming, and the others. It was only the most superficial use, which was why it could be cut off by Patriarch Hongbo's sword.
Not only did he turn this Dao Art into his own, but he also pushed this Dao Art to a higher level, which was far beyond Fengdu's reach.
No matter how the "Limitless Daoification" changed, it naturally had its own rules, and its rules relied on the Great Dao. If you wanted to compete with it within the rules it had set, then it could deal with it calmly, making you run for your life.
Fortunately, with his own Weili and Bu Xutian, his power had already surpassed the suppressed Spirit of Good Fortune. In terms of the use of Dao Art, there was no difference. However, if he attacked the formation that the opponent had already set, it would undoubtedly be an unwise move. Instead, it would be easier to disrupt the evolution.
One must know that order and chaos had always been interdependent. The order itself was gradually moving towards chaos, and without chaos, there was no need for order. From this point of view, he did not need to change anything. He only needed to give the order a push, and it would be good enough for the order to enter chaos in advance.
This was actually considered to be along the way. Even if the Spirit of Good Fortune knew about it, he would not be able to stop it. If he wanted to rebuild the order and make the chaos return to order, it would require more effort than maintaining the order.
After he cast the Dao Art, he retracted his sleeves. With a turn of his mind, his consciousness had already returned to where it was originally.
Ancestor Hongbo and Ancestor Yao Han had been paying attention to the changes in All Things. Just Now, they felt as if something had broken in the Great Dao. At the same time, the Spirit of Good Fortune that they had eliminated seemed to reappear in their senses. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, and All Things returned to their original state.
Ancestor Yao Han saw that Zhang Yan had returned to his senses and asked, "Fellow Daoist, is the Dao Art proceeding smoothly?"
Zhang Yan said, "I have already added another Dao Art on top of the Spirit of Good Fortune's Dao Art. However, I still need to wait for it to evolve. If the Spirit of Good Fortune does not choose to remove this Dao Art, then it will be impossible to do this again."
If the Spirit of Good Fortune's Dao Art was called "Limitless Dao Art," then his Dao Art could be called "Incomplete Heavenly Origin."
If one fell into this Dao Art, victory could also be considered defeat, and defeat could also be considered victory. Victory and defeat could be reversed at any time. There was no clear boundary, and everything was chaos. There were no rules or reason to speak of.
And because this was an evolution based on the Spirit of Good Fortune's Dao Art, the person's Dao Art could be considered the resources of this Dao Art. If the person's Dao Art existed, then the Dao Art existed. If the person's Dao Art was lost, then the Dao Art was lost.
After Ancestor Yao Han and Ancestor Hongho listened to his detailed description, they became more cautious. This Dao Art would also trap them in this Dao Art. There was no distinction between friend and foe.
However, just like how "Limitless Dao Art" was a Spirit of Good Fortune's Dao Art, its final evolution would definitely be beneficial to the person. Therefore, Zhang Yan's Incomplete Heavenly Origin was also beneficial to the Virtuous Ones.
Victory and defeat aside, he absorbed all the Dao Arts and power into his own Dao Art. This was equivalent to using the power of both sides to evolve the Dao Art for himself. This would definitely push him to greater heights. Even if he couldn't reach the end, he would get closer and closer to the Great Dao.
The two founding ancestors quickly noticed that along with the circulation of this technique, all the principles and rules they possessed in the past started to become chaotic under this change, and they practically couldn't look at it with their original gazes.
And this was only the beginning. As the Dao Art changed, everything would become more and more chaotic until everything was mixed up.
However, they could also see that Zhang Yan didn't allow Bu Xutian to fall into this chaos. Instead, he deliberately delayed it.
Although nothing could escape this Dao Art once it changed for a long time, it wasn't difficult for them to see that when the time came, the Spirit of Good Fortune would have no chance of turning the tables. Therefore, the person would definitely act before that happened.
Zhang Yan silently sensed the operation of the Dao Art and thought to himself, "I wonder what the person will choose?"
Right at the same time that he circulated his Dao Art, a certain Spirit of Creation that was in the opposing cause and effect suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and it came to a realization from this. It similarly pushed itself to a higher place, and then it understood everything.
He realized that in such chaos, the battle of karma between opposing sides began to become disorderly and unpredictable. Perhaps one side was winning a moment ago, but in the next moment, it would become the losing side. You would never know what the final outcome would be, and there would be no outcome.
When Ancestor Yao Han and Ancestor Hongho observed, they thought that this chaos would continue, but the Spirit of Good Fortune had a higher cultivation and could see that when the Dao Art evolved to the extreme, a proper order would appear. However, at that time, the proper order would be the proper order of the Great Virtue. All the rules would be set by the Great Virtue and would not be easily changed.
Now, to deal with this Dao Art, one was to destroy it from its roots. Because Zhang Yan's Dao Art was based on the Spirit of Good Fortune, as long as he withdrew the Dao Art, all the changes would naturally be interrupted.
But it wasn't easy to do so, because there was not only his Dao Art here, but also Zhang Yan's Dao Art. It was equivalent to putting the power of both sides in one place. If he forced it, not only would he not gain anything, but he would also suffer more losses.
The other method was to carry out some kind of Dao Art transformation on top of the two. However, if he did so, the Dao Art of both sides would continue to extend and transform on top of it. As the power overlapped, it would be harder to destroy. After a few transformations, it would be difficult for both sides to break free from this kind of battle. At that time, neither side would have enough power to overturn it.
If it was a Spirit of Creation that did not possess any humanity, perhaps it would choose the former without any hesitation. But at this moment, there was an additional variable in the secrets of the heavens. It changed its Dao technique and made another choice!
