NOVPUBA blue light point, gathering a massive amount of light and shadow information, slowly flew in front of The Emperor.
Upon absorbing it, countless images emerged in Li Ping’s Spirit Consciousness.
"With these, it’s enough," he said in a deep voice.
Just then, the One Absolute Daoist coughed lightly, "The interior scenery of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters..."
"Our Calamity Transcendence Sect does have some clues."
"Eh?" Even the stone tablet showed some surprise.
"That’s not right, Yi Jue. When your entire sect was suppressed by the Law Transmission back in the day, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals didn’t even exist, right?"
Feeling the skeptical gaze of the stone tablet, the Absolute Gold Man smiled slightly.
"It’s also a matter of chance. When the Immortal Alliance Headquarters was being built, by coincidence, the space which housed the World Watching Divine Eye was excavated and integrated into the Immortal Alliance’s space."
"Although it’s not a crucial core location, through the years, we’ve still observed some things. We’re not entirely clueless."
As Yi Jue spoke, he flipped through the Tome of Tribulation Transcendence like presenting treasure, and the shifting light and shadow slowly congealed into a page.
It gently drifted in front of Li Ping.
Li Ping absorbed this page, quickly scanning the recorded images within.
After a long while,
"In the Xuanhuang World, are there still such things as the World Watching Divine Eyes which I cannot sense?"
The Emperor spoke again, not with praise but with this question.
The One Absolute Daoist hastily took a stand, "Aside from the special reasons of the Tianxuan Profound Mirror’s isolation, all other divine eyes have been retrieved by The Emperor."
"However..." Friend of Uniqueness seemed somewhat hesitant. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Speak without reservation."
"Although the divine eyes previously situated in those locations have been retrieved, the fact that the divine eyes resided there for so long has caused those spaces to imbibe some of the divine eyes’ characteristics."
Hearing this, the stone tablet’s expression turned serious.
"Which means," Yi Jue continued, "our Calamity Transcendence Sect can still sense events occurring near those [positions]. Although the effect isn’t as good as observing with the divine eyes."
As though to corroborate his explanation, Yi Jue flipped through the Tome of Tribulation Transcendence, projecting simultaneously the countless light and shadow records of those different positions.
The coverage was smaller compared to the reach of the World Watching Divine Eye, and the images were also quite blurry.
But just as Yi Jue had said, it was merely a reduction in performance—the crucial [monitoring] function indeed had not diminished.
"Yi Jue, where exactly do these World Watching Divine Eyes come from?"
After mulling over it for a moment, the stone tablet was somewhat shocked and voiced the question on Li Ping’s mind.
After all, the fact that the divine eyes could change the properties of the space itself was not as simple as it appeared.
If we were to get into the nitty-gritty, this could already be considered something [Contrary to the Principle of Heaven and Earth].
The One Absolute Daoist did not hide anything: "After the Heavenly Sword Sect created the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm, shattered the realm and shocked Xuan Huang, I visited the Ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"The space inside the rift realm was fragmented, its destination unknown. Ordinary cultivators who rashly enter would only face certain death. But our Calamity Transcendence Sect’s [Eternal Cataclysm] could, for a time, preserve ourselves within."
The look in the stone tablet’s eyes immediately became more intense.
"However, I was also taking a risk of a near-certain death to go into the rift realm. Following the aura of the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm, I delved deep, wanting to confirm whether the Heavenly Sword Sect had actually succeeded..."
"Unfortunately, the rift closed faster than I anticipated. A force I had never seen before, not belonging to the Xuanhuang World, was actively repairing it. Having lost track of the Divine Soldier of Unraveling and having reached my limit of endurance, I had no choice but to return unwillingly..."
"The World Watching Divine Eye... was crafted using the power I collected within that rift."
The One Absolute Daoist’s words came to an abrupt halt.
However, the scenes described in his words led the other two people in the Grand Hall to contemplate deeply.
The stone tablet suddenly understood, "So you’re saying that the World Watching Divine Eye was not intentionally crafted into this form by you. It’s the manifestation of its power’s essence?"
The Friend of Uniqueness nodded his head.
"Otherwise, where would our Calamity Transcendence Sect suddenly have come up with methods that even Law Transmission can’t handle?"
```
From the Saint Emperor Seat, sudden silence descended.
In Li Ping’s perception, the little golden man of the Calamity Transcendence Sect had not lied.
Thus, the implications of his words were somewhat terrifying upon deeper contemplation.
Could it mean that there is still a higher level of power, like the World Watching Divine Eye, currently surveilling the Xuanhuang World?
What kind of existence could be lurking behind all this?
Is it beyond the high walls, or...
The stone tablet suddenly seemed to recall something, its expression changing.
But just as it was about to speak, it stopped.
Li Ping naturally noticed the change in the stone tablet, but he only locked onto it with a sliver of Divine Sense, not initiating conversation.
Understanding Li Ping’s caution, the stone tablet waved its hand, "Friend, you misunderstand."
"I just suddenly recalled a rumor concerning the origin of the Xuanhuang World."
"It’s information I came across by chance in the bottom layer of the Tablet of Creation. It dates back at least hundreds of thousands of years from today."
As these words were spoken, they couldn’t help but draw the attention of Li Ping and all the paper men of the Calamity Transcendence Sect.
The stone tablet frowned, recalling as it spoke, "Before the Tribulation descended, in an era when the Immortal Way flourished within the Endless Starry Sky, our Xuanhuang World seemed somewhat unique."
"Not only was there more frequent interaction with the Upper World, encompassing numerous Immortal Instruments, but our Xuanhuang World also had an existence known as the [Great Heavenly Sovereign]."
"You must understand, once a cultivator ascends, they effectively sever all ties with the Lower Realm. Yet this Great Heavenly Sovereign was not only able to contact the Upper World but could also summon items from the Immortal World to Xuanhuang."
"Moreover, within the Xuanhuang World, the Great Heavenly Sovereign wielded powers far beyond the reach of many cultivators..."
At this point, the stone tablet looked toward Li Ping.
Li Ping shook his head slightly, "I have no memory of this."
The stone tablet didn’t take it to heart and continued, "But the then Great Heavenly Sovereign, as we understand today, was different. Their Cultivation Base and strength were not necessarily higher, more like a..."
"Position."
The stone tablet pondered for a moment before expelling these two words.
"Much like an official title bestowed by the Upper World. As long as one received recognition from above, even a mere mortal without the strength to truss a chicken could hold the position of Great Heavenly Sovereign."
"Now, everything is completely different. Without absolute power, one cannot gain the recognition of the Xuanhuang Heaven Path. Certainly, one cannot achieve the status of Great Heavenly Sovereign."
"The difference between these two, when it emerged, I do not know. However, what I want to say is..."
"The power that Mimicry within the Rift Realm crack, imitating the World Watching Divine Eye, does not necessarily originate from beyond the Star Sea. Perhaps, it is a characteristic inherent within the Xuanhuang World itself." The stone tablet glanced again at Li Ping.
This view made even Yi Jue of the Calamity Transcendence Sect lower his head in contemplation.
"The original Great Heavenly Sovereign could control the world in a mortal’s body. The power they relied on should be similar to that of the World Watching Divine Eye, deeply hidden within Xuanhuang. Yet, at some point, this power’s connection with Xuanhuang was mysteriously severed."
The stone tablet’s words echoed in the Saint Emperor Seat.
These secrets of ancient times were unknown to Li Ping before this moment.
"There must have been changes within the Xuanhuang World, undetectable by ordinary cultivators, before the severance of the Immortal Way," Li Ping said gravely.
"But these are just my speculations. The point is, there is no need to worry too much about the powers beyond the Starry Sky. Even if there is external interference, given that the Xuanhuang World has existed for so many years without their advent..."
"It seems that here, they are also beyond reach."
The stone tablet spoke softly.
"I agree," Friend of Uniqueness chimed in, regaining his previously unruffled demeanor.
