After Zhang Yu received the result of the calculation, the clay jar in his hand suddenly shattered and turned into a pile of fine sand.
He pondered for a moment, then stood up from his seat and paced around.
According to Elder Fu, the result might not be completely accurate, but it was generally trustworthy. This was because the Everlasting Faction had never made a mistake in their calculation so far. Even if someone interfered, the final result was almost the same as the calculation, which was very mysterious.
Although he still had one more chance to perform, there was no need to repeat the calculation because he was not looking for a direct result. He only wanted to confirm one thing.
Confirming this matter would not help him find the "Upper Self", but it would be beneficial for his next move.
However, at the same time, he would still prepare a certain backup plan to ensure that if there was a deviation in the calculation, he could correct it again.
Now, the formation that was set up on the outer plain was now ranked at the third layer. He expected to build at least the sixth layer and prepare the magic tool to suppress the formation. Then, he could try to make contact with the "Saint"'s divine aura. If it went well, everything would be clear by then.
Although there were only three layers now, the basic protective ability was already present. Therefore, after he obtained the result of the calculation, he left the living room, left Yang City, and landed in the big formation.
What he needed to do now was to try to find the thing behind the long scroll. Although he had seen that this thing was not related to the "Upper Self", he still needed to take necessary precautions.
He waved his sleeve and sat down on the center of the formation. With a push of his heart's light, the formation began to operate.
The advantage of this formation was that it could operate as many layers as it was built, and it did not interfere with the outer formation that was still being set up outside.
At this moment, a streak of starlight flashed past, and the Life Seal Clone came here and sat down opposite him to deal with the crisis that could occur at any time.
Seeing that everything was ready, he entered a meditative state. In a flash, his Qi entered the Divine Void Land and saw the long scroll again.
Earlier on, he had determined that at least a part of the profound principles on this object was derived from the rubbing of a certain object. Because of this, there were enough traces left behind.
This object must have originated from something that had been left behind in the world, something that could be seen by cultivators. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for that long scroll to be refined.
As for where this item was, it could be found through the long beam. All one needed to do was to look down from the Place of Divinity. Just like when they were looking for the trunk of the Ipal Divine Tree, they had to first grasp the divine aura of the Divine Tree and then search for it one by one. And the clearer the Dao marks on the scroll, the easier it would be to find the item behind it.
After observing for a while, he did indeed find a corresponding object in the world. However, it was not just one place. What he saw were three places. Two of them landed on the Earth Continent, in the Boundless Race's territory. Their exact locations were still unknown.
There was also another place that was unknown. It seemed to be in the void, but there seemed to be some kind of concealment, making it difficult to see.
He suspected that it was very likely the location of the Six Sects. It might have been concealed because it was obstructed by a formation.
This was possible. This long scroll was refined by cultivators, so it was not strange for it to appear in the hands of cultivators. As for the one in the Boundless Race, it might have come from a destroyed cultivator sect.
He thought for a while and decided that he might as well obtain the portion that landed in the Boundless Race's territory first. He could consider the rest later.
After making up his mind, his Qi retreated from the Place of Divinity. After observing carefully for a while, he saw that one of the two places that landed on the Earth Continent was somewhere in the Central Region of the Yang Capital.
It was not difficult to find this item.
He immediately flicked his finger, and it landed on the crystal plate in front of him. He sent out a spiritual message and continued his closed-door cultivation.
Several days later, the Creator Cultivator personally came to the living room and reported to him, "Mister Tao, I have obtained the item that mister wanted. Would you like to take a look at it now?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The Creator Cultivator gestured to the back and called out. Following the sound of heavy footsteps, two Creator Cultivators carried up a metal square box on the left and right. After setting it down, they removed the lid of the box, revealing a square stone that was five feet long and wide. It was a thick jade-white color.
The edges of this square stone were not very distinct. Some parts were rough, while others were smooth. There were no signs of being polished by humans.
The Creator Cultivator said, "This item was originally buried deep underground, so it was not difficult to retrieve it. It was just that some old men came out to obstruct us. His Majesty spent some time to settle them."
This item was an 'Ancestor Stone' that was buried under the Old Imperial Palace. It was rumored that it fell to the Earth Continent along with a meteor shower many years ago. It was first obtained by a cultivator sect, and then by the Boundless Race. This was the largest of the many Star Stones. It was said that it symbolized the will of the heavens and was used to stabilize fate.
However, Emperor Xi did not care about it at all. If it could really stabilize fate, how could the cultivator sects on the Earth Continent be destroyed by them?
Moreover, there were tens of thousands of Ancestor Stones that fell from the sky at that time. They were all over the Earth Continent, and there were still remnants of stars drifting in the sky. According to this, the people who obtained these Star Stones could claim to have the will of the heavens?
As for the talk about stabilizing fate, he was very clear about it. It was just that when a certain Emperor Hao built the Imperial Palace, he did not like the bad habit of burying the city with tens of thousands of enemy heads every time. Therefore, he simply used this as a replacement. At the same time, he spread the word that this matter was supported by fate. Only then did he convince his relatives and officials.
There was something special about this item, which was that it was very difficult to destroy. Back then, even when it fell from the sky, there were no signs of wear and tear. However, that was all. This was just a relatively sturdy stone. Later on, when the cultivator sects were destroyed, many of them were obtained. Now, they were just placed there and no one cared about them.
Zhang Yu stood up from his seat and took a few glances at this item. He said to the creator alchemist, "Help me thank the Emperor."
The creator alchemist said, "I will definitely deliver it. If Mister has no other instructions, I will take my leave." As he said that, he bowed again and left respectfully with the two armored soldiers.
Zhang Yu waited for everyone to leave before he came to this square stone. Although he found this item based on the traces of the long scroll, what was interesting was that he realized that this piece of "Ancestor Stone" had not been used by anyone before. There were also no traces of it being examined and copied by anyone.
Therefore, there was only one answer. The precious material that formed the long scroll might have been one of the pieces of "Ancestor Stone". Therefore, there was a certain connection between the two.
Moreover, he also realized that this stone was very similar to the "Mysterious Jade" that carried the seal of the Great Dao.
All the seals of the Great Dao that he came into contact with before were all placed in jade. In other words, only special jade treasures could carry the seal of the Great Dao and display it. However, if the person who came into contact with it was not at a high enough level or did not have the fated method, they would not be able to see the Dao reflected on it.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the square stone. After a short while, a strange feeling arose in his heart, and his eyes could not help but flash slightly.
It seemed that his guess was correct. There should be a fragment of the seal of the Great Dao inside. As for which seal it was, he still had no way of knowing, but he would know once he obtained it.
With a wave of his sleeve, a ray of light sealed the door of the hall. He sprinkled out a handful of jade tokens and set up a simple formation. He returned to his seat and sat down again, slowly adjusting his aura.
Not long after, he sank into meditation. His continuous breathing seemed to be in harmony with the aura of the world. It was as if heaven and earth were mother, and he was the child, as if he was guarding the fetus. But at the same time, he was in high spirits and stood above all things. He crossed his origin energy and entered the world, but he was still divine.
Their auras seemed to have triggered something amidst the mutual engendering and complementing each other. A bright and dark brilliance gradually appeared on the jade as if it was resonating with his breathing.
At this moment, if there was an outsider here, he would be able to see that the square stone had not changed at all. It was still the same as before, and it was still just a piece of unique cold jade. These changes seemed to only exist in another undetectable space, and only those who were in harmony with its aura could see it.
After an unknown period of time, as if this resonance had led to an even greater change, cracks appeared on the surface of the jade, and finally, it shattered into gravel on the ground with a crash.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed. At this moment, he understood what seal this was. This was one of the Six Seals of the Great Dao, the "Beginning Seal", and it corresponded to one of the Six Righteous Seals, the "Nose Seal".
The "nose" was the "self", the "self"; it was the beginning, the beginning. And this seal corresponded to the aperture of breathing, the beginning of life. All of these faintly corresponded to the "self" of this world of Dao. It seemed to be a coincidence, but it also seemed to be related.
This seal could open and close the aperture, circulate vitality, and breathe in the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. The most amazing thing was that the most fundamental of the Six Dao Seals was the "Fate Seal", and only with the Fate Seal could the "Beginning Seal" be maximized.
However, what he had now was only a fragment of the Great Dao Seal. Just like the Great Dao Seals he had obtained in the past, they were not complete. This was because if he had obtained the complete Great Dao Seal, he would have attained Dao, and it was impossible for him to do so now.
This seal was just like the other Great Dao Seals, it only gave him a path to climb Dao, but if he could obtain other fragments of the Great Dao Seals, it would increase the speed of his climb.
He pondered for a moment, and according to what he knew, the other fragment of the Beginning Seal also fell in the territory of the Vast Race, but this seal was not under the jurisdiction of Emperor Xi, but in the lower region of Huang Du, which was also the territory of King Lie.
There was a chance to obtain this item, as Emperor Xi was already preparing to conquer King Lie. When the army conquered this place, he would be able to find this item along the way.
Right now, he needed to decide on this seal. After his thoughts turned, he called out in his heart, and a vast light screen rose, and the Great Dao Scripture appeared in front of him.
