On the chessboard of the Great Way, the battle between the Bhadanta and the Spirit of Creation caused the worlds and even the essence of creation to merge. However, this did not include the Nine Continents.
That was because it was an extremely special place.
Zhang Yan's understanding of this place was constantly changing. When he was in the Pure Yang state, he thought that this might be an existence different from the other worlds. However, it was not strange because there were too many such worlds in the universe.
After attaining the Spirit Refinement state, he had already transcended the present world. When he looked at it again at that time, he had a different feeling. He even privately wondered if this was the Chaos Heaven that the patriarchs had worked together to create.
After attaining the Bhadanta, he was able to observe some of the mysteries of this place. However, because he felt that the opportunity was not there, he did not go there.
It was not until he sat on the chessboard of the Great Way and fought with the Spirit of Creation that he truly recognized the essence of this place.
The Nine Continents were the imperfection of everything, the imperfection of all things, the imperfection of the Great Way!
What was "imperfection"? Imperfection was change.
Only with the existence of such imperfection could the Great Way be changed and change.
It was precisely because of the existence of the imperfection of the Great Way that cultivators were forced to constantly pursue perfection and the higher realm. Without such imperfection, there would be no change, and the path of Dao would reach its end.
Of course, it was important to understand that the Nine Continents and the Nine Continents were different. The Nine Continents were the imperfection of the Great Way. The Nine Continents and the Nine Continents just happened to fall on the imperfection of the Great Way. Therefore, even without the Nine Continents and the Nine Continents, the imperfection of the Great Way still existed.
The Dao technique of the Spirit of Creation could encompass everything. Even he could not fight it head-on, because this was the power of the Great Way. But at the same time, this technique was unable to conceal the flaw in the Grand Dao. Because this flaw was the foundation that this Dao Art could be activated at, and only with the existence of this flaw would this technique have room to change. If it didn't exist, then this Dao Art wouldn't be able to change from the beginning, and concealing this flaw was equivalent to concealing the technique itself.
Back then, when the essence of creation was broken and the spirit of creation manifested, the Great Virtuous Ones with profound cultivation, such as Tai Ming, Hong He, Yao Han, and Ling You, as well as Yi Chong and the Lord of the Prison Realm, all sent a clone over due to the uniqueness of the nine continents. They also passed on their Daoist arts to this place to ensure the continuation of the Human Dao.
However, this was an Incomplete Land. Any Weili who came here would be Incomplete. In fact, they would be worn down along the way, so much so that they would constantly be pushed back.
Even if the Bhadanta could maintain the Weili that they had sent here at a higher level, if they did not comply with the changes, they would never be able to enter this realm. Thus, they could only choose to lower the level of their avatars.
However, even though the great benefactors had made all sorts of compromises, the troubles they suffered in the end were not limited to this. When their Weili went to the Nine Continents, they couldn't immediately reach this place as they had thought. Instead, they lingered in the absence of changes for a long time before finally settling down.
This was also why when Zhang Yan later entered the Dao, the inheritance of the Four Great Sects was only ten thousand years old. The Xuan Stone that was also left behind by the Great Underworld Ancestral Master in the Yuhuan Heavens had experienced millions of years without an owner.
However, the Great Underworld Ancestral Master's cultivation was very high. He could roughly calculate that if an outstanding talent appeared in the Dao of the Nine Continents, the opportunity would be within a million years. After this time limit, there was no need to wait anymore. Thus, if no one went to take it for a million years, it would be left to the lineage of the guardian to deal with.
In addition, the Chaos Heavens that the Ancestral Masters had opened in the Bu Xu Heaven were even more ancient. As early as the Bu Xu Heaven was formed, it had already fallen here.
Zhang Yan had once speculated that perhaps these Chaos Heavens were where the Ancestral Masters had originally achieved their Dao. Later on, they moved to the Bu Xu Heaven, and Just Now, they were residing in it.
Because the Dao of the Nine Continents was lacking, it shouldn't have been easy to see. Perhaps it was because of the shattering of the essence of creation that the Ancestral Masters sensed it and used it as their last resort.
As it turned out, the power of the Spirit of Creation indeed couldn't penetrate this place.
Perhaps it was because of the appearance of the Tribulation power and the entanglement of the Bhadanta, causing the Ancestral Masters to have no time to care about these things. Or perhaps it was because the Ancestral Master was high up, so he didn't look down.
But at this moment, it was very likely that for the Spirit of Creation, the Nine Continents simply didn't exist in his Human Dao, so he instinctively ignored this place.
When he thought up to here, he sensed something. After a short while, he sensed an indistinct pulling force. This was because he had once left behind a legacy here, and that was why he was able to sense it. Otherwise, he would have to find a way to find it himself.
After taking a look, with a single thought, he turned into an avatar and sank into it.
With his current Bhadanta body, it was impossible for him to enter this place because his power was too strong.
The Nine Continents existed between existence and non-existence. If he forced his way here, then this place would never exist for him.
Only by weakening his power to the same level as the Ancestral Masters when they first entered the Nine Continents, could he see the true side of this place.
After his avatar Weili went through layers of weakening, he finally saw the Nine Continents appear. But just as he was about to enter this place, he suddenly felt that there were many changes here. It was as if he was about to reach the end of the Nine Continents, or even the beginning of the Nine Continents.
Originally, it didn't matter, but he felt that the living beings here were almost isolated from the outside world. His return this time should also give them a Dao opportunity. Hence, he calculated for a while and found a place where the various sects broke through the world and ascended. Only then did he step in.
In the blink of an eye, his avatar had landed on a vast and distant land.
Back then, after the Tribulation of Human, the Southern Cliff, the Northern Underworld, and the other continents were all destroyed. Only the Donghua Continent remained intact. Because the Xuan technique competition did not affect this place, all living beings survived. Hence, even though there was no trace of spiritual vigor on this continent, it still exuded a vibrant vitality.
He glanced at it and felt slightly emotional.
The avatar that he left here had long dissipated. Although the Dao technique that he passed down didn't need external objects, it could only be deduced to the opening of meridians and breaking through because of the limitations of his own cultivation method. Compared to the Dao technique that he later taught, it could be said to be a far cry.
However, there was another reason. The Nine Continents were completely created by itself, and it just happened to be located within the Great Dao. It had nothing to do with the Heavens outside the world. The living beings here were not of the same origin as the spirit of creation after it was shattered, so it was extremely difficult to find a way to go to the Upper Realm.
But now that he had returned here, he wouldn't favor one and discriminate against the other. Naturally, he should also pass down the Dao technique, so that the living beings here also had a Dao path to the Great Dao.
He waved his sleeve, and countless starlight fell from the sky, turning into countless Dao Inheritance Stone Tablets that sprinkled down towards the Nine Continents.
After doing this, he pondered again. Arriving here was merely the first step, and what he needed to do next was even more crucial.
Earlier, he'd made a deduction in his Divine Decree. Based on the final outcome, even if it was only a clone, so long as it was able to successfully avoid the devouring of the Dao technique, then it would be able to leave a soul behind.
But he felt that this matter involved the Great Dao flaw, and there were extremely many variables. Logically speaking, various obstructions should appear in the end, or it would be simply indistinguishable, yet the outcome he obtained was so in line with his wishes. This was extremely problematic.
On the other hand, since there was a problem, then if it was only a clone that descended here, then it would be unable to grasp the Grand Dao in the end?
After he pondered deeply, he felt that it was very likely that after he hid in the Great Dao flaw, it was equivalent to admitting that he belonged to the side of the flaw. In other words, he'd voluntarily given up on participating in the Grand Dao merging into one, thus losing the opportunity to grasp the Grand Dao.
Actually, even if his clone descended into the Nine Continents and was really able to avoid this change in the Dao technique, he would still be unable to accept it. The cultivation that he'd painstakingly and diligently obtained was the foundation of his existence, so how could he easily abandon it? Therefore, he had to find a way to allow his original body to similarly avoid the Dao technique of the Spirit of Creation.
Before he came here, he had an idea. If he found another Dao technique in the Nine Continents, and this Dao technique was not inferior to the Dao of Strength that he found before, then it would be equivalent to him participating in the situation of the Grand Dao merging into one again. That way, he would not be excluded.
Then were there other Dao techniques in existence now?
The answer was yes.
The path to Dao was divided into Qi, Strength, and Dao.
Qi was the first path of the Human Dao, and all the Virtuous Ones had cultivated their Dao through Qi. As for the Dao of Strength, from what he saw now, it was very likely that it was the path of Dao that was dominated by the Variant Ones.
However, just like how Qi could be cultivated by Demons and Variant Ones, the living beings of the Human Dao could also walk the path of Strength, so there was no clear boundary between the two.
As for the remaining Dao of Strength, it was the most unique Dao technique.
This Dao was based on the existence of that thread of fate. Logically speaking, if a living being could comprehend the profundities of the Grand Dao, then there was no need to cultivate or use any external objects, and they could instantly ascend to the peak of the Dao technique.
In reality, no one had ever done this before the Spirit of Creation was shattered, and there was no one after the Spirit of Creation was shattered. However, purely logically speaking, this possibility existed.
Zhang Yan had once made some calculations about this. He found that almost all the Heavenly Secrets and Fate were occupied by the Dao of Qi and Strength, and the gap that could allow the Dao to move was already extremely limited. In other words, under normal circumstances, no one could pass through this Dao.
Therefore, he came to the conclusion that unless one day, the Dao of Qi and Strength disappeared at the same time, or were simply shaken by some power, then the Heavenly Secrets that were occupied by these two Daos would be released. If there happened to be someone who could comprehend the miraculous fruit of the Grand Dao at this moment, then they could advance and achieve this Dao.
And at a time like this, wasn't this the time when the Dao of Qi and Strength could be activated?
Before long, all things would return to normal, and the rules of the Grand Dao would be swallowed by the Dao technique of the Spirit of Creation. Under this result of mixing everything together, whether it was the Qi Dao or the Strength Dao, they would no longer exist, and the originally tight and orderly boundaries would also be completely broken. At that time, it would be time to seize the opportunity to seize the Dao of Strength!
