A change had arisen within Guan Wuji.
The automatic mechanisms Wang Qi had set up were naturally not limited to one kind. Besides the most basic function of playing recordings to make Guan Wuji understand his situation, he had also left several mechanisms within the ring.

The Emperor-Grade Heaven-Splitting Dao and Mount Luofu Mystic Clarity Palace had fought for ten thousand years, and they knew each other's methods inside out. Back when Wang Qi was at the Qi Refining stage, he had used Mount Luofu Mystic Clarity Palace's acupoint-breaking technique to forcibly undo the restrictions placed by disciples of the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Splitting Dao.
If one wanted to completely deprive a Body Integration Realm Cultivator of the ability to resist, the most direct method was still to place restrictions upon them.
—What? You said, what if Holy Emperor had not used the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Splitting Dao's sealing arts, but some modern technique from another planet?
Then that was none of Wang Qi's business! In the end, this had only been an idle move. If it succeeded, it would bring Wang Qi tremendous benefits, but if it failed, it could not change Holy Emperor's doomed defeat anyway.
