Chapter 885: Former Moyi Sect Leader
The little robot released by Ye Zan, under the protection of the modified void armor, passed through the void storm smoothly. Behind the void storm, there is not a space like the sky and the earth, but a completely empty land. Ye Zan's true self couldn't get any news, but the ray of distraction hidden on the robot immediately reminded him of the nothingness in the Arctic Fairy Palace when he saw this scene.
Ye Zan had always wondered what kind of place would create a void storm, and it also restrained the void storm from spreading. Seeing that this place is actually a land of nothingness, it seems that everything has a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, it would be difficult to form such a strange existence in any other type of space.
The so-called land of nothingness is a space that is similar to a vacuum. Not only is there no such things as water, air, soil, etc., even the avenue of heaven and earth is shielded from it. Such a space, of course, don't think there will be any treasures, or it is a treasure itself, but Ye Zan definitely can't take it away.
As for why there is such a place of nothingness in this place, of course Ye Zan has no way of researching it. If you have to say it, you can only speculate that the birth of this void may have something to do with the collapse of heaven and earth. After all, when the heaven and the earth collapsed, it wasn't just how many domains the earth or the world was divided into, but also the avenue of heaven and earth collapsed.
You must know that the avenue of heaven and earth is not divided into the avenues of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as people usually say. What divides this way and that way is actually a concrete description of the avenue of heaven and earth by human beings from the perspective of their own comprehension. When we really talk about the Dao of Heaven and Earth, it is actually an all-encompassing whole, so there is a saying that "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things".
It is precisely because of this that the avenue of heaven and earth collapsed with the sky and the earth, so it did not split into the avenues of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" as people usually understand. Therefore, it did not appear that there was only one or several kinds of avenues in a certain realm, but all of them could re-evolve a complete realm avenue. It also makes every domain today, just like before the split, have the change of day and night, the rotation of the seasons, the sun, the moon and the stars, etc., these "natural phenomena" that represent the Dao.
And those spaces with only a certain kind of avenue are often small worlds or secret realms created by man-made or coincidence. Just like the two secret realms that Ye Zan obtained one after another, they were specially refined by the friend of Taoist Xuanyuan, and the ultimate goal was to obtain a complete Dao.
If it is a crude metaphor, perhaps the Dao can be compared to an earthworm, which can grow back into two earthworms if it is broken in two. It's just that this avenue of heaven and earth is more powerful than earthworms. Even if it is broken into a dozen or even dozens of pieces, they can each grow back into a complete avenue. However, in the process of re-"integrating", there may be accidents with a small probability, which led to the birth of this place of nothingness.
Of course, these are all Ye Zan's distracted speculations. After all, at his level of primordial spirit realm, he is still far from being able to see through all the mysteries. Although the avenue he cultivated is the avenue of true knowledge, it does not mean that he is omniscient and omnipotent.
The Way of True Knowledge just makes it easier for him to understand and explore the secrets, instead of engraving the answers directly in his head.
Speaking of returning to the land of nothingness, although there may be no treasures here, it is not entirely a bad thing for Ye Zan. You must know that since there is nothing in this void, it means that everything can be "observed", and there is no need to spend too much time exploring.
If so, this is a forbidden zone in the usual sense, that is, a small world with an extremely harsh environment. Then, Ye Zan's little robot has to face many difficulties whether it is looking for the leader or searching for any treasure. If there are still some enemies inside, then the little robot has no attack power, and it will be even more troublesome to act.
There is really nothing in this void, and the only obstacle is that there is no light or other energy rays. You know, the human eyes can see things because of the reflection of light. Without light, the eyes are really black.
And Ye Zan's little robot, in terms of detecting objects, also relies on receiving the energy radiation of the object to judge the size, position, type, etc. of the object. This method of detecting objects by receiving energy radiation is highly dependent on external factors and can be called passive detection.
Fortunately, the detection device of the robot also has the function of actively scanning and detecting the surroundings by emitting energy rays, similar to the ultrasonic waves of bats. If it is in that complex environment, this active detection method may not be as effective as the passive one. However, this is a place of nothingness, without any physical obstacles at all, so it is very suitable for active detection methods.
Soon, the robot activated the scanning device and emitted detection rays in all directions. It is said to be a ray, but it is actually a bit like water ripples, centered on the robot's body, spreading out circles around. Once there is an obstacle at a certain position, the detection rays will be reflected back, and then received and analyzed by the robot.
This void is not very big, and the robot quickly discovered the existence of a suspected physical obstacle a few kilometers away from itself through the reflected detection rays. Moreover, after analyzing the reflection data, the obstacle that blocked and reflected the detection rays had a basic outline similar to that of a person.
With such a result, Ye Zan, who was hiding in the robot body, was distracted. Even though he had no body or heart, he still felt nervous. In such a space, when such a humanoid target appeared, the identity of the other party seemed to be revealed. And this, for this exploration, I am afraid it should be regarded as the worst result.
"Is it really that person?" Ye Zan was distracted and hesitated, although he really wanted to further confirm the identity of the other party, but he was afraid of attracting the other party's attention.
After all, the robot uses active detection, so no matter how small the detection rays are, as long as they exist, they can be detected. What's more, this is a place of nothingness, no matter how tiny things are added to it, it will become extremely obvious.
"No, let's withdraw! There's nothing to fish anyway..." Even though the robot stopped detecting, Ye Zan's distraction still made him want to retreat.
Indeed, although the identity of the target has not been fully determined, in fact, according to the Moyi religion, there is no possibility of any deviation in the result. Now that the investigation has a result, even though it is a bad result, and there is no benefit to be gained at the same time, so what if you don't retreat at this time.
Although, from the very beginning, Ye Zan and the people of the Moyi religion had considered that the worst possible outcome might occur. Therefore, Ye Zan only let such a small robot in, even if captured by the leader, it is impossible to escape through the void armor. However, Ye Zan never told the Moyi sect that he would hide a ray of distraction on the little robot.
The robot can be lost, and the void armor can be lost, but Ye Zan is not willing to lose this ray of distraction. Although, for him, even if this ray of distraction is lost, it won't hurt so much. However, no one is willing to cut themselves with a knife, especially when it is completely unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Ye Zan was also very straightforward, and immediately gave the little robot an order to retreat. He also didn't want to know whether the humanoid target was alive or dead, even if the target was just a remains, it would bring him great benefits.
The little robot, which had stopped detecting, immediately adjusted its state accordingly, turned on the injector and was ready to fly out from the road.
However, just as the little robot was started, and the flame of the injector just emerged, a powerful attraction suddenly surged from the side. The direction of the attraction is exactly where the target of the former leader of the Moyi Sect was detected.
After all, Ye Zan's little robot is just an engineering robot used for some maintenance chores, and it doesn't have a powerful engine. Therefore, even though the little robot was already fully powered, the attraction was even stronger, and it was dragged and flew across.
In the blink of an eye, the little robot was pulled close to the humanoid target.
This time, the little robot doesn't need to detect much, and can completely "see" the opponent's appearance through the weak energy radiation emitted by the target. And the appearance of this target is indeed the same as the information given by Moyi, and all aspects are in line with the description of the leader.
The former leader of the Moyi religion, after catching the little robot, looked at the outer armor of the little robot, and said in amazement: "Hey, it is a pity that this thing is too powerful to withstand the void storm. I'm too young, and the old man can't return to the realm by relying on it."
Now that he has been caught, Ye Zan can only stop the little robot from struggling, and suspend quietly in the void like a shutdown. In his heart, he was still a bit lucky, hoping that the leader would lose interest in this little robot, and he might have a chance to escape.
It's a pity that Ye Zan just had this idea in his mind, but the leader said with a smile on his face: "I don't know which fellow Taoist is distracted and hiding in it, you might as well show up and tell the old man, so that the old man can see you." Solve the loneliness of tens of thousands of years."
Although Ye Zan only listened to two words from the other party, he felt that this person was not the kind of mad person.
Of course, Ye Zan couldn't really come to a conclusion based on these two sentences, it was just a feeling in his heart. After all, people are very good at disguising, especially when he has some purpose, he will make the appearance he needs. Moreover, the so-called "bad guys" are not all hysterical all the time, lunatics still have quiet time, let alone a normal person.
But no matter what, the other party had already pointed out that Ye Zan's distraction was hidden on the little robot. If Ye Zan continued to pretend to be dead, he wouldn't be able to make the opponent lose his patience and just crush the little robot. You know, this is a person who has been trapped for tens of thousands of years. Whether his psychology is still normal is actually very uncertain.
Therefore, Ye Zan had no choice but to escape from the little robot, showing his own appearance in front of that person, and cupped his hands respectfully and said: "I am a member of the Yuqing Sect, whose Dao name is Wuji, and I have met seniors!"
There is no way, how dare a person not bow his head under the low eaves!
What's more, no matter how insane things this former Moyi sect leader has done, it has nothing to do with Ye Zan. Not only is Ye Zan not from the Moyi domain, but he is not even from this world. No matter how much the Moyi domain is discussed, it is impossible to involve him.
Moreover, Ye Zan himself is not the kind of person who hates evil, as long as it is not related to his own affairs, it is basically impossible to have any empathy. To put it bluntly, even if the person in front of him really succeeded in the blood sacrifice to all beings in the realm, what does it have to do with Ye Zan!
Therefore, since the other party is powerful and a person from tens of thousands of years ago, it is no big deal if Ye Zan salutes and calls the other party "Senior".
"Well, it turned out to be a fellow Taoist of Yu Qingzong. I just said that the mediocre people in the teachings, it is impossible to find such a way to spy on the old man." After hearing Ye Zan's introduction, the former leader nodded clearly, By the way, he also expressed his disdain for the people of this religion.
"Senior has given you too much credit, and this junior is nothing more than an opportunistic trick." Ye Zan quickly replied very modestly.
Don't look at the other party's disdain when he mentioned the Moyi religion, but Ye Zan didn't see much hatred from it. This made him more and more confused about what kind of relationship the former leader had with the Moyi Sect, so naturally he couldn't really answer the other party's words.
You know, according to the Moyi Sect, the leader was destroyed by the elders of the Moyi Sect, and was finally driven into this void. A person trapped in nothingness is no different from being imprisoned in a small black room, and this barrier lasts for tens of thousands of years, without even a chance to breathe in the middle.
Ye Zan didn't think such hatred would really weaken with the passage of time.
Seeing Ye Zan's appearance, the former leader smiled lightly, and asked jokingly: "Hehe, looking at you, those juniors outside should have spoken ill of the old man."
"This..." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, and didn't hide anything anymore. He nodded awkwardly and said, "Senior has sharp eyes, and this junior was entrusted by... the elders of the Moyi Sect to investigate the situation of senior. I heard some... deeds about seniors."
