The small robot released by Ye Zan, protected by the modified void armor, passed through the void storm smoothly. Behind the void storm, what appeared was not a space like the sky and the earth, but a complete void. Ye Zan's true self could not get the news, but the trace of distraction hidden in the robot immediately reminded him of the void in the Arctic Fairy Palace.
Ye Zan has always been curious about what kind of place will produce a void storm, and also restrain the void storm from spreading. Seeing that this place is actually a land of nothingness, everything seems to have 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 close to a vacuum. Not only is there no water, air, soil, etc., but even the avenues of heaven and earth are blocked from it. In such a space, naturally don't think about any treasures, or it is a treasure in itself, but Ye Zan definitely can't take it away.
As for why such a place of nothingness appeared in this place, Ye Zan certainly had no way of proving it. If I have to say it, I can only speculate that the birth of this land of nothingness may have something to do with the collapse of heaven and earth. After all, when the sky and the earth collapsed, it was not just the earth or the world that was divided into several realms, but the avenue of heaven and earth also fell apart.
You must know that the avenue of heaven and earth is not divided into the avenues of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., as people usually say. What divides this path and that path is actually a concrete description of the great avenue of heaven and earth by human beings from the perspective of their own understanding. The true Dao of heaven and earth is actually an all-encompassing whole, so there is a saying that "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things."
It is precisely because of this that when the great avenue of heaven and earth collapsed with the heaven and earth, it did not split into the avenues of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" as people usually understand. Therefore, it does not appear that a certain realm has only one or several avenues, but all of them can be re-derived into complete realm avenues. It also makes every realm today, just like before the split, have the change of day and night, the rotation of the four seasons, the sun, the moon and the stars, etc., these "natural phenomena" that represent the great road.
And those spaces with only certain avenues are often small worlds or secret realms created by man-made or coincidence. Just like the two secret realms Ye Zan obtained one after another, they were specially refined by Xuanyuan Daozu's friend, and the ultimate goal was to obtain the complete Dao.
If you want to make a crude metaphor, you can compare the avenue to an earthworm. If you break it in two, it can grow back into two earthworms. However, this avenue of heaven and earth is more powerful than earthworms. Even if it is broken into dozens or even dozens of pieces, it can still grow back into a complete avenue. However, in this process of re-"completeness", there may be accidents with a very small probability that lead to the birth of this land of nothingness.
Of course, these are all Ye Zan's distracted speculations. After all, at the level of his Yuanshen realm, he is far from being able to penetrate all the mysteries. Although the avenue he cultivated is the avenue of true knowledge, it does not mean omniscience and omnipotence. The Great Way of True Knowledge only makes it easier for him to understand and explore secrets, rather than directly engraving all the answers in his head.
Speaking of the land of nothingness, although there may not be any treasures here, it is not entirely a bad thing for Ye Zan. You know, since there is nothing in this land of nothingness, it means that everything can be "panoramic view" without having to spend too much time exploring.
If this was a forbidden area in the usual sense, it would be a small world with an extremely harsh environment. So, Ye Zan's little robot has to face many difficulties, whether it is looking for the leader or searching for any treasures. If there are any enemies inside, then the small robot has no attack power, and it will be even more troublesome to move around.
There is really nothing in this place of nothingness. The only obstacle is the lack of light or other energy rays. You know, human eyes can see things because of the reflection of light. Without light, the eyes are really dark.
As for Ye Zan's small robot, when it comes to detecting objects, it also relies on receiving the energy radiation of the object to determine the size, location, 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 robot's detection device 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 such a 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, which is very suitable for active detection methods.
Soon, the robot activated the scanning device and emitted detection rays in all directions. Although it was called a ray, it was actually a bit like ripples on water, spreading out in circles from the robot's body. Once an obstacle appeared at a certain position, the detection ray would be reflected back and then received and analyzed by the robot.
This place of nothingness is not very big. The robot quickly discovered the existence of a suspected physical obstacle several kilometers away from itself through the reflected detection rays. Moreover, after analyzing the reflection data, it was found that the obstacle that blocked and reflected the detection ray had a basic outline similar to that of a human.
After getting such a result, Ye Zan, who was hiding in the robot body, was distracted. Although he had no body or heart, he still felt on tenterhooks. In such a space, if such a humanoid target appears, the identity of the other party seems to be revealed. And this, for this exploration, is probably the worst result.
"Is it really that person?" Ye Zan was distracted and hesitated. Although he wanted to further confirm the identity of the other party, he was afraid of attracting his attention.
After all, the robot uses active detection. No matter how tiny the detection rays are, they are likely to be discovered as long as they exist. What's more, this is a place of nothingness, and no matter how small something is added to it, it will become extremely obvious.
"No, let's retreat! There's nothing to fish for anyway..." Even though the robot had stopped detecting, Ye Zan was still distracted and wanted to retreat.
Indeed, although the identity of the target has not been completely determined, in fact, according to the Moi religion, it is impossible for the result to be biased. Now that the exploration has a result, even though it is a bad result, and there is no benefit to be gained at the same time, what can we do if we don't retreat at this time
Although, from the very beginning, Ye Zan and the people of the Moi Cult had considered the worst possible outcome. Therefore, Ye Zancai only let in such a small robot. Even if it was captured by the leader, it would be impossible to escape through the void armor. However, Ye Zan never told anyone from the Moi Cult that he would hide any trace of his distraction in the little robot.
The robot can be lost, and the void armor can also 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 be too traumatic. However, no one would want to cut themselves with a knife, especially if it is completely unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Ye Zan was very straightforward and immediately gave the little robot the order to retreat. He 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 small robot that had stopped detecting immediately adjusted its state, turned on the jet, and prepared to fly out the way it came.
However, as soon as the little robot started up and the flames of the jet emerged, a powerful attraction suddenly came from the side. The direction of the attraction was exactly where the target of the former leader of the Moi Cult was detected before.
After all, Ye Zan's little robot is just an engineering robot used for some maintenance chores, and it does not have a very powerful power engine. Therefore, even though the little robot was already fully powered, the attraction was even more powerful, and it was forced to fly sideways.
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 do any detection. Through the weak energy radiation emitted by the target, it can completely "see" the opponent's appearance clearly. And the appearance of this target is indeed the same as the information given by the Moyi Cult, and all aspects match the description of the leader.
The former leader of the Moyi Sect, after catching the little robot close, looked at the outer armor of the little robot and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Hey, they actually used void crystals to resist the void storm. It's a pity that this thing is too Even though I’m young, I can’t rely on it to return to the realm.”
Now that he had been caught close by, Ye Zan could only make the little robot stop struggling and float quietly in the void as if it was shut down. In his heart, he still had some luck, hoping that the leader would lose interest in the little robot and he might still have a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, just when this idea came up in Ye Zan's mind, the leader said with a smile: "I don't know which fellow Taoist is hiding in this place because of distraction. You might as well show up and talk to me, so that I can talk to you." To relieve the loneliness of tens of thousands of years.”
Although Ye Zan only listened to two sentences from the other party, he felt that this person was not that kind of crazy person.
Of course, with just these two sentences, Ye Zan couldn't really make a conclusion, it was just a feeling in his heart. After all, people are very good at pretending, especially when they have a purpose, they will make the appearance they need. Moreover, the so-called "bad guys" are not always hysterical. There are still times when a madman is quiet, let alone a normal person.
But no matter what, the other party has pointed out that Ye Zan's distraction is hidden in the little robot. If Ye Zan continued to pretend to be dead and couldn't get out, he wouldn't be able to make the other party lose patience and crush the little robot directly. You know, this is a person who has been trapped for tens of thousands of years. It is actually very uncertain whether his psychology is still normal.
Therefore, Ye Zan had no choice but to escape from the small robot, and showed his appearance in front of the man. He bowed his hands in a respectful manner and said: "I am a member of the Yuqing Sect, my Taoist name is Wuji, I have met my senior!"
There is no way, how dare you not bow your head under the low eaves!
What's more, no matter how crazy things the former leader of the Moyi Religion did, it had nothing to do with Ye Zan. Not only was Ye Zan not from the Moyi Realm, he was not even from this world. No matter how much the Moyi Realm matter was pulled, it would not be possible for him to be involved.
And Ye Zan himself is not the kind of person who hates evil. As long as it doesn't involve his own affairs, it is basically impossible to have any empathy. To put it bluntly, even if the person in front of me really succeeds in blood sacrificing to all living beings in the realm, what does it have to do with Ye Zan!
Therefore, since the other party was powerful and was a person from tens of thousands of years ago, it was not a big deal for Ye Zan to salute and call the other party "senior".
"Well, it turns out that he is a fellow Taoist from the Yuqing Sect. I said that those mediocre people in the teachings cannot find such a way to spy on me." 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, you are overly praised. This junior is just a little opportunistic trick." Ye Zan quickly replied humbly.
Even though the other party looked very disdainful when he talked about the Mayi Cult, Ye Zan didn't see much hatred in it. This made him more and more confused as to what kind of relationship the former leader had with the Moi Cult. Naturally, it was difficult for him to really accept what the other party said.
You know, according to the Moi Sect, this leader was ruined by the elders of the Moi Sect, and he was finally driven into this land of nothingness. Being trapped alone in the land of nothingness is no different from being locked up in a small dark room, and this confinement lasts for tens of thousands of years without even a chance to breathe.
Ye Zan doesn't think that this kind of hatred will really weaken as time goes by.
Seeing Ye Zan's appearance, the former leader smiled faintly and asked with a hint of joking: "Haha, looking at you, the juniors outside must have said bad things about me."
"This..." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, and did not hide anything anymore. He nodded awkwardly and said: "Senior has a keen eye, and this junior is entrusted by... the elders of the Moyi Sect to investigate the situation of seniors. It is true that I heard that He told some stories about his seniors..."
