In an instant, Heaven and Earth were turned upside down.
The weight of the world pressed down upon him.
Ding!
The fractured mirror space shattered, and like a chain reaction, countless enclosing spatial mirrors around him exploded into myriad fragments in the blink of an eye.
Morubin violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but his response was nothing if not swift.
Using the disturbance caused by the shattering mirrors, his figure turned illusionary, and in an instant, he appeared a thousand miles away.
"Xuanhuang Heaven Path?"
"How could this be possible?"
Morubin’s face was filled with disbelief.
Then his expression suddenly changed, "Damn the unreliable Xuanhuang Heaven Path, I must wrap this up soon."
As he was talking to himself, a tall figure quietly blocked his path.
"My question hasn’t been answered, and you thought to leave?"
A hint of wariness flickered in Morubin’s eyes as he coldly snorted, "What Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Dao Incarnate, they’re just pawns!"
"If you don’t want to die, how about we work together?"
"Although you are strong, you still fall short compared to Xuanyuan Big Brother. Even he was schemed against and met with unexpected events, you certainly cannot avoid the same fate..."
These words from Morubin stirred something in Li Ping, causing him to halt his attack.
But after Morubin finished speaking, Li Ping’s expression suddenly changed.
He reached out to grab Morubin in front of him, yet that figure burst like a bubble, scattering in the air.
It was nothing more than a mere distraction. The real Morubin had somehow escaped under Li Ping’s watchful eye, his whereabouts unknown.
The Emperor did not feel anger at being tricked.
"The true Immortal Formula is indeed extraordinary."
"The Immortal Formula of the Indestructible Demon Heart..."
"No, that’s not right."
After contemplating for a moment, Li Ping looked at Kitty Treasure, which was sleeping on his shoulder.
During the brief battle with Morubin, it seemed that the other party had not noticed Kitty Treasure.
Moreover, the technique that could replicate and replace had not reflected Kitty Treasure’s presence.
"Kitty Treasure shows no interest. It seems this so-called Immortal Formula might be somewhat overrated."
Even though Morubin had escaped for now, he had not eluded Li Ping’s control.
As Morubin had attempted to replace Li Ping, Li Ping was also slowly drawing him into the Essence of Origin Force Net.
Even if he could struggle free for a moment, by following the broken yet still present golden threads in the air, one could trace back and find his trail.
In his perception, Morubin was still fleeing rapidly.
Li Ping did not rush to chase him but planned to play the long game and catch a big fish.
"The words he just said are hard to distinguish between truth and lie. However, one thing is certain; he will surely go looking for the King of Mystic Sky."
"Or something related to the Mystic Sky Sect from the ancient times."
"Let’s wait and see then."
Li Ping knew that to deal with an ancient being like Morubin, who had survived since the ancient times, one must have ample patience.
Moreover, the battle just now with Morubin had given The Emperor a substantial understanding of the Mystic Sky Sect’s enigmatic techniques.
Prepared for what lay ahead, the next time they encounter each other, he would not let him escape so easily.
The fluctuations from the recent battle had seemed to catch the attention of other strongmen.
It was possible that someone from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would come to investigate soon, so Li Ping prepared to leave the area.
"It’s unexpected that Morubin would hide within the Violet Firmament Sect Relics."
"According to the records on the Stone Tablet, after the Immortal Dao Ten Clans annihilated the Mystic Sky Sect, they turned the world upside down to prevent future troubles. All sects, big and small, did the same. This Violet Firmament Sect was meticulously scrutinized back then, and yet he still managed to hide from them."
"The Mystic Sky Sect Technique’s power is one thing, but it’s notably elusive and hard to guard against..."
"It doesn’t resemble the orthodox Immortal Way."
Li Ping mused inwardly.
His Divine Sense swept over the Violet Firmament Sect Relics thousands of miles away as the Faceless Saint Emperor’s figure slowly vanished into the air.
But the next moment, Li Ping reappeared.
"Hmm?"
For just as he was contemplating, Li Ping noticed something odd.
His view suddenly rose, and a miniature view of the Xuanhuang World appeared before his eyes.
"This place is Linnang Province of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a part of the Original Xuanhuang Realm a millennium ago."
"The Xuanhuang World was dismembered and reshaped; this Linnang Province is merged from different parts of the Immortal Cultivation World."
"But..." 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Li Ping’s expression grew heavier.
"The jigsaw puzzle of the Original Xuanhuang Realm is missing a piece."
Armed with the information from the Tablet of Creation and closely connected to the Xuanhuang Heaven Path.
In restoring the dismembered and remodelled Original Xuanhuang Realm, Li Ping faintly sensed that a large region once covered by the Violet Firmament Sect had disappeared in the new map of the Xuanhuang World.
Or rather, it had not disappeared.
It was still out there, hidden in a corner of the current Xuanhuang World.
"But a certain force has influenced me, causing me to subconsciously overlook it."
Having reached this conclusion, the aura around Li Ping suddenly became solemn.
The maps of the original and current Xuanhuang World kept separating and recombining, being compared within his Spirit Consciousness.
After a long while, he finally located another region that was part of the ancient Violet Firmament Sect.
It was now the area of Taihua State, Taixu Mountain.
"What is there..."
Li Ping did not hastily investigate but instead began to ponder over the force that could influence him.
Memories from the past flashed through his Spirit Consciousness.
A realization dawned upon The Emperor.
Yet, Li Ping hesitated in a rare instance of indecision.
After standing still in the air for a long while, he finally made up his mind.
"No matter what the truth is, if one lacks the courage to confront it…"
