The Immortal Alliance had always maintained strict surveillance over the tiny patch of land that was Linghuang Island. More than twenty Artificial Heavenly Star Magical Items remained synchronized above the island at all times. Moreover, these Celestial Artifacts were replaced every three years, always employing the Immortal Alliance's most advanced technology and possessing the highest precision.
As soon as a large-scale change occurred in the spiritual energy environment around the island, an alarm would be triggered.
The Immortal Alliance had never shifted its gaze simply because Holy Emperor had secluded himself in one corner. After the chaos caused by the Devil Emperor, Modern Dharma Cultivators had fully recognized how terrifying banished immortals were. They did not dare toss Holy Emperor aside and leave him unattended.
Otherwise, who knew when they might have to face a powerful immortal who had recovered all his strength?
Thus, when the heaven and earth spiritual energy around Linghuang Island suddenly converged, the Immortal Alliance had already received the alarm. Sword cases waiting in synchronous orbit opened in unison, and far more Heavenly Swords than Wang Qi could have imagined pointed directly at the sea.
At that moment, so long as Feng Luoyi gave confirmation, that stretch of sea would turn into the surface of a great sun, its matter's microscopic structure destroyed.
However, Feng Luoyi did not give the command. Instead, he began to think.
"A Mahayana omen... Wang Qi's previous intelligence clearly stated that Holy Emperor had been suppressing all the cultivators on Linghuang Island. They should have had no chance to break through to Mahayana..."
"Could Holy Emperor have changed his mind?"
"Did he have some plan?"
"Was this the final step of that mysterious plan of his?"
After pondering for a moment, Feng Luoyi still gave the order to stand down.
