Zhang Yu's intuition came from the warning of the seal. Since it could trigger the seal of the Great Dao, it meant that killing it would bring about great trouble.
He had a thought in his mind. This result might be exactly what Yuan Xia wanted to see.
Since that was the case, he couldn't do that. If he couldn't get rid of it, he could only use methods like sealing and restraining it.
Among them, using a Dao Guarding Treasure was undoubtedly the easiest. For example, he could use the "Void Flash" to directly move it away, or use the Imperial Seal Apparatus to isolate it.
However, if he could think of this, Yuan Xia couldn't have.
Especially when this thing came without the protection of any Dao Guarding Treasure. If it was so simple, Yuan Xia definitely wouldn't have released this thing. There must be some reason behind this, so they had to restrain it.
If they didn't use these methods, they would use their own methods.
Regardless of whether this thing was related to the upper echelons or not, as long as its level hadn't reached the upper echelons, there would be a way to restrain it.
He looked ahead and saw that the stone Daoist didn't directly attack them after arriving here. This wasn't because it was hesitating or observing something, but because everyone in Tianxia was under the protection of the golden sand and the Imperial Seal Apparatus.
However, if Yuan Xia increased their power and weakened Tianxia's protection, this thing would definitely take advantage of the gap and enter. He didn't need to use the Six Righteous Heavenly Words. He believed that the Word Seal could suppress this thing to a certain extent, but it wouldn't be so simple to restrain it.
Therefore, after he thought about it, he separated a wisp of Qi Will and sent it to the rear, calling Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You over. He said to the two, "I've observed this thing. It's very likely that it's the reflection of a certain upper echelon's power. It can be suppressed, but it can't be removed. We need to temporarily seal it. Are the two of you confident?"
When Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You heard that it involved an upper echelon's power, their expressions turned solemn. This thing was undoubtedly the most troublesome. However, since they came to attack Yuan Xia, they were already prepared to encounter all kinds of troublesome matters.
Daoist You said solemnly, "I'm willing to try my best."
Lin Tingzhi said, "As long as it's not a Dao Guarding Treasure, Daoist You and I have a sixty to seventy percent chance of success."
Zhang Yu said, "Just go ahead. If there's no other choice, we can only use extreme measures."
You and Lin bowed to him and sat down in the flying boat. Both of their Daoist techniques floated out. Although their Dharmic powers were incompatible with each other, under their careful control, their Dharmic powers actually slowly intertwined.
Earlier, they'd worked together to refine the protective barrier, causing them to get used to each other for a long time. It could be said that they were already familiar with each other's energy. However, even then, they were still careful.
At this moment, their expressions were solemn because the current situation was rather unfavorable for Tian Xia.
The path of retreat that had been blocked had yet to be cleared, and they had encountered a strange creature in front of them. Yuan Xia had released this creature at this time, so it was definitely useful. If they did not think of a way to deal with this creature, it might cause their counterattack to fail, and Tian Xia would be in an even more passive position.
After Zhang Yu entrusted this matter to the two of them, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he focused his attention on the stone statue and paid attention to the changes in Yuan Xia's Dao Guarding Treasure.
After waiting for a short while, the auras of Yuan Xia's Dao Guarding Treasures suddenly surged. Meanwhile, Zhu Tingzhi and the cultivators from the various Daoist lineages also controlled their Dao Guarding Treasures to greet them.
However, this was Yuan Xia's home ground after all, and with the help of the Heaven Order, the aura of the Treasure Artifact grew slightly stronger in a short period of time, causing the aura that was protecting them to weaken a little.
Just as the aura of the Dao Guarding Treasure weakened, the stone statue moved. Zhang Yu's eyes flashed, and he shouted a Dao voice, causing the stone statue to suddenly stop.
However, he discovered that at this moment, the stone statue moved from a distance to a slightly closer position, as if there was no distance between them at all. Moreover, it directly broke into the inner circle of his fundamental Dao Guarding Treasure. It seemed that the fundamental Dao Guarding Treasure couldn't stop it at all.
When the auras of the Dao Guarding Treasure were in a stalemate again, he recalled the scene from before in his senses. He discovered that it wasn't that the fundamental Dao Guarding Treasure was useless, but at that moment, it had already broken in, but was dispersed by the fundamental Dao Guarding Treasure. However, it immediately reappeared. If that wasn't the case, this thing might have directly arrived at his body, and he wouldn't have been able to stop it with words.
However, although this thing had already fallen into the range of his fundamental Dao Guarding Treasure, its figure wasn't affected at all.
He thought for a moment and guessed that when it wasn't moving, it was in a state of reflection, so it wasn't affected by external forces. Once it moved, it would be in contact with heaven and earth, which was why it was affected by his Dao Guarding Treasure.
Moreover, after this thing moved closer, it didn't seem to retreat anymore. In that case, if it attacked again next time, it would most likely move forward from this distance. It could be expected that it would get closer and closer until it landed in front of them.
He didn't know what would happen at that time, but it definitely wouldn't be anything good. Under the premise that he couldn't kill this thing, he could only try his best to delay it as much as possible.
At this moment, Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You were doing their best to refine a suitable item, but they also felt an inexplicable pressure at this moment.
If they wanted to refine something that could suppress this thing, they had to sense its aura. However, the more they sensed, the closer they felt it was to them. However, they couldn't stop. They could only try their best to find a solution before this thing arrived.
In the Yuan Xia Formation, Daoist Wan saw that Tianxia's attacks were no longer as aggressive as before, as if he had restrained himself a lot. He knew that the Divergent was working. He said, "If we can coordinate with other methods, we'll definitely be able to disrupt Tianxia's formation. It's even possible to kill this person."
Councilor Guo said, "Although this thing is controlled by us, it might not necessarily not harm us. There's no need to join in the fun. Let Tianxia have a headache."
He said again, "Have you figured out the matter?
Daoist Wan said, "We're using the 'Elephant Instrument' to calculate. Because the 'Heavenly Book' is in a stalemate, we can only borrow its power bit by bit. We still need some time."
The 'Elephant Instrument' was a type of formation tool that could calculate things that one didn't know. However, it wasn't as simple as finding the result, but eliminating unnecessary possibilities.
When this thing was used together with the 'Heavenly Book', one could get the answer closest to the truth. However, this required repeated questioning and eliminating countless answers before one could get close to the truth.
As for the burdens during this period, there was no need to worry. Because this time, many people would bear the burden together. Everyone shared the burden, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Councilor Guo said, "Then let's do it as soon as possible. If this Divergent doesn't deal with Tianxia, then we'll have to wait until after the one-year cycle. However, at that time, Daoist Wan might not really help us. Even if they did, their conditions would definitely be very harsh. Therefore, it's best for us to solve this matter ourselves."
Time continued to pass. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.
Almost every day, the stone statue Daoist would take advantage of the gap between the Daoist treasures to move closer. This thing was getting closer and closer to them. Now, it was extremely close to them.
Zhang Yu looked at the stone statue Daoist not far ahead. He had a feeling that when there was no gap between them, then there was really no distance. Logically speaking, this meant that the two would no longer be separated and would become one. If that was the case, perhaps he would also become this thing.
Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You were under especially heavy pressure. They could sense that they were already surrounded by densely packed stone statues. Among them, the closest one was only ten feet away from them. It seemed to be staring at them, waiting for them to make a mistake.
However, they didn't even look at it. They focused all their attention on refining the immortal treasures. Between the two of them, a dot of light was slowly forming.
Zhang Yu didn't rush the two of them. Since he had entrusted this matter to the two of them, he had absolute trust in them. He wouldn't disturb them. If it was really too late, then he would sacrifice everything necessary.
At this moment, the Dao Guarding Treasure's aura was once again affected and became slightly weaker. The stone statues in front of them suddenly disappeared from their original positions. In particular, the ones that Daoist You and Lin Tingzhi had sensed were about to reach them in the next moment.
And at this moment, a strange light flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"It's done!"
Instantly, a ray of light bloomed between the two of them. When the light slowly faded, the stone statue Daoist in front of Zhang Yu had already disappeared. He turned around and saw that there was a crystal pillar as tall as a person between Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You. The stone statue Daoist was currently within it.
Lin Tingzhi and Daoist You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was almost impossible to find a way to restrain this thing in such a short time. They had taken a shortcut.
Because they sensed that this thing seemed to be using the Qi of living beings to pursue its target, they took advantage of the moment when it suddenly attacked to condense their Qi together with everyone else's and threw it into the pillar, luring it in.
Moreover, Lin Tingzhi had to constantly change the Dao mechanism to trap it. This was because even if this thing was a reflection of the upper level, it was still affected by the Dao mechanism.
Zhang Yu saw that the two's expressions were still serious and didn't completely relax. He said, "This thing can still escape?"
Lin Tingzhi replied, "Yes, but there's no way to solve it. We can only delay it. Especially when we want to target this thing, the more we care, the more likely it is to get close to us."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How long can it be trapped for?"
Daoist You said in a low voice, "From the looks of it, only a few days. After a few days, we will have to refine the artifact again. However, this method of trapping will weaken each time we use it. We can only delay the arrival of this thing, but we can't stop it from coming. "
