Total Perception! Emperor Daye's Secret!
Chen Lingxi seemed to be deep in thought.
"It seems my thinking was correct. These projected avatars are controlled by the true bodies of powerful beings in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. If they wish to dissipate, they can be dissolved in an instant."
"However... I wonder why the Dao Foundation Realm that fell into the hands of Emperor Daye cannot dissipate on its own."
As he pondered, Xi Lan had already stood up.
Xi Lan's blue boots were already tattered, with a section of her toes showing. She hid the worn-out shoes behind her back and suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Immortal! Please accept me as your disciple!"
Chen Lingxi came to her senses and stood on the cloud, looking down at Xi Lan.
Chen Lingxi stood on the cloud, looking down at Xi Lan.
She knelt among the rubble, looking up at him, her shimmering eyes holding something he couldn't understand.
"Please, immortal, accept me as your disciple."
Xi Lan spoke for the second time.
"Why is the Xi Family arresting Xi Lan? Have they discovered something strange about her?"
Chen Lingxi did not answer.
In his eyes, the method of Qi Observation was thus put into operation.
Chen Lingxi immediately frowned slightly.
Even with his current cultivation level of having already established the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and his eyesight that has reached a Mystic Realm level in Qi Observation, he still cannot see through this girl.
"My attack on those two members of the Xi Family inadvertently led me to form a good relationship with this woman."
"There are many strange things about Xi Lan as well."
Chen Lingxi pondered silently.
"Now that I have completed the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, I am only one step away from the Dao Foundation Realm. That kind of spiritual energy should no longer affect me."
"Xi Lan wants to become my disciple. If this talented young girl is taught carefully, she will surely become a great person in time."
The profound mystery surrounding her could perhaps corroborate my own cultivation.
"If I could keep her by my side, I would have someone to talk to on this lonely and long path of cultivation."
"Moreover... if Xi Lan makes a name for himself in the future, perhaps I can also benefit from it."
Chen Lingxi's thoughts were racing.
Then he suddenly woke up again.
Something's not right again.
Chen Lingxi shook her head slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
The Dragon Roar Technique was activated in his Consciousness Sea, causing a Consciousness Sea pain that made him more lucid. He looked down at Xi Lan.
Xi Lan remained kneeling there, looking up at him.
She saw Chen Lingxi shake his head, and noticed the fleeting cold glint in his eyes, which made her increasingly nervous.
At that moment, she saw clouds suddenly rise beneath the immortal's feet, lifting his figure into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that instantly broke through the sea of clouds and disappeared into the horizon.
A mountain wind howled past, whipping up her loose, dark hair.
Xi Lan felt somewhat melancholy.
"Why!"
I dreamt that...
She gasped in surprise.
Fearing that Xi Lan might say something that would affect her mind, Chen Lingxi had already shut down her senses and rode away on a cloud!
Chen Lingxi rode on the clouds, heading south.
"That mountainous area we just visited was indeed a good place for cultivation."
However, we were caught by members of the Quexing Xi Family, so it's not advisable to stay any longer."
"I need to find a place to retreat into seclusion..."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Lingxi decided to go to the Heaven Gate Sea.
The Heaven Gate Sea is vast and deep, and its waves are usually quite rough. Even cultivators would need a lot of time to explore it, making it the best place to cultivate great Divine Ability.
He rode the clouds and mist all the way to find an uninhabited deserted island deep in the Heaven Gate Sea.
Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged on the deserted island, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
"My current cultivation level is already quite remarkable, and I am only one step away from achieving enlightenment at the Dao Foundation Realm."
However, the Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability that Xi Yuan unleashed through the projection of the Spirit Artifact was still able to disrupt my aura, cause my Dao Platform to tremble, and result in this minor injury.
This demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability.
Chen Lingxi her eyes to heal her injuries, and it took her a long time to recover and reach her peak condition.
"Before going into seclusion, let me Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye."
As Chen Lingxi pondered, he sank a wisp of his consciousness into the depths of his mind's Divine Chamber and activated his Wandering Sight Divine Ability!
The viewpoint cut through the air and revealed that Emperor Daye Ying Xian, was sitting cross-legged in a Void, with the pale golden Immortal-Husk Essence surrounding him swirling like a thin mist.
Not far in front of him, in the very center of the palace, hung four figures firmly bound by golden restrictions.
The four figures were none other than Luan Shu of the Calamity Sea, Daoist Zhuxu of the Vermilion Radiance Grotto-Heaven, and two other Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm whom he had tracked down and captured in the past two years.
Emperor Daye sat cross-legged in front of the four avatars, his eyes closed, the gray-white mist of the Heavenly Decline Method swirling around him like a dragon.
As the mist billowed and exhaled, extremely pure Dao Origin was extracted from the four avatars and flowed into Emperor Daye's body.
Chen Lingxi looked at it for a moment, and was about to withdraw his Sight-Roaming when he saw Emperor Daye suddenly open his eyes.
His eyes, burning with golden flames, reflected the four imprisoned avatars, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Ying Xian slowly stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, the four avatars were lifted into the air by the golden restriction and followed behind him.
Where is Emperor Daye going?
Chen Lingxi's heart stirred.
Emperor Daye parted the clouds and traveled on a rainbow-like path at an incredibly fast speed. In just a few hours, he arrived at a vast sea area.
He descended with rainbow light above a group of volcanoes deep in the sea, carrying his four avatars, and headed towards the most majestic crater of one of them.
The volcano was extremely majestic, its entire body pitch black, its walls barren of vegetation, covered only with jagged volcanic rocks.
Thick smoke billowed from the crater, and the scorching heat vaporized the seawater within dozens of miles into a white mist.
Emperor Daye, accompanied by his four Dao Foundation Realm incarnations, flew directly into the volcano's crater.
Chen Lingxi's gaze followed his figure, piercing through the surging smoke and scorching lava, and falling into the deepest part of the volcano.
"Um?"
"This is?"
Chen Lingxi's mind went blank!
Through what Emperor Daye saw, he clearly heard the sound of heartbeats!
The heartbeat was extremely deep and resonant, like a large drum being struck deep underground!
Thump, thump, thump!
The tremor caused the entire volcano to tremble slightly, creating ripples as the surging lava flowed.
The heartbeat was deep and resonant, as if the volcano itself were a beating heart.
Emperor Daye landed on a protruding rock platform at the bottom of the volcano, and with a flick of his sleeve, he suspended the four Dao Foundation Realm incarnations in front of him.
The two golden flames in his eyes flickered slowly, gradually merging with the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Then, he raised his hand and threw the four avatars one by one into the deepest part of the volcano.
The four Dao Foundation Realm incarnations melted away silently upon touching the churning magma, like ice and snow entering a furnace.
As the four avatars dissolved, the heartbeat became deeper and stronger.
Then...
Through the eyes of Emperor Daye, Chen Lingxi saw a figure sitting in the very center of the churning lava at the deepest part of the volcano.
The figure was tall and bare-chested, with bronze skin and bulging muscles like a dragon.
His eyes were closed, and his body was enveloped in a pale golden halo. He allowed the scorching magma to surge and churn around him, yet not a single hair on his head was burned.
That face had sharp features and an imposing, domineering aura that seemed to look down upon the world.
"Xiao Changlü!"
Chen Lingxi's heart suddenly trembled Sight-Roaming shatter at that moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with barely suppressed astonishment.
Xiao Changlü was actually sitting upright in the deepest part of the volcano in the Heaven Gate Sea...
"This Xiao Changlü is an avatar created by Emperor Daye using the Myriad-Nurturing Dao Lotus Qi..."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath.
"What exactly is Emperor Daye plotting?" he asked himself, his eyes gleaming.
"This man's cunning and scheming are beyond my imagination, but it seems I still underestimated Emperor Daye."
Using mountains and rivers as their battleground, they seize the essence of countless living beings;
Using the Immortal Husk as a foundation, it nurtured the Void-Disrupting Flower the void, cultivating its own unparalleled inner strength;
Now, the Dao Foundation Realm Incarnation is being used as nourishment to nurture this avatar...
The numerous schemes intertwined, forming a vast, all-encompassing net that enveloped the entire Weiji Grotto-Heaven.
"There must be something strange about this volcano."
Chen Lingxi pondered for a long time, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Ten days later, Chen Lingxi Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye and confirmed that the Emperor Daye had already left the mysterious volcano.
Only then did he sink a wisp of consciousness into the Divine Chamber, focusing it on the Thorough Awakening Divine Ability.
In the past two years, his cultivation has greatly improved. He has completed the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, cultivated great Divine Ability, and made progress in refining the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch.
The progress of Essence Replenishment in the Thorough Awakening Divine Ability has already been completed.
With a slight thought, he felt his consciousness being pulled by a mysterious force and then falling into Chen Lingxi's body in the Divine Chamber.
Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky, one a blazing golden sun, the other a silvery moon, their dazzling beams of light spilling across this world that only he could see.
He took a deep breath, soared into the sky, and flew swiftly towards the North Sea.
"Go to that crater and see for yourself what secrets it holds."
The wind whistled in my ears, and the vast blue waves stretched out beneath my feet.
Not long afterward, the volcanic cluster came into view in the distance.
Chen Lingxi lowered the clouds above the most majestic volcano and looked down...
Thick smoke billowed from the crater, and scorching heat waves rushed towards us.
"This is the place."
Without hesitation, Chen Lingxi's spiritual energy surged, and pale golden lightning appeared around him, completely isolating him from the scorching heat wave.
He descended from the sky, plummeting straight into the crater like a pale golden meteor.
He passed through the billowing smoke and scorching lava, landing on a protruding rock platform at the bottom of the volcano.
The heartbeat became even clearer at that moment, as if a god were beating a drum, shaking the entire volcano.
He followed the sound of the heartbeat and saw a bare-chested figure sitting upright in the very center of the churning lava.
It was Xiao Changlü, exactly the same person he had seen when Emperor Daye arrived.
"Xiao Changlü was indeed among them."
However, unlike when he Sight-Roaming, there was now an extremely mysterious array pattern slowly flowing beneath Xiao Changlü.
At the very center of the array patterns was where Xiao Changlü sat.
With each rotation of the array patterns, an extremely powerful spiritual energy was extracted from the depths of the volcano and flowed into Xiao Changlü's body.
Chen Lingxi's gaze passed over Xiao Changlü and landed on the volcanic wall behind him, which was reddened by the lava.
Then he saw...
The volcanic wall was covered with densely packed runes.
The runes were layered upon each other, intertwined, and formed a colossal array.
"Could it be...?"
With a slight thought, Chen Lingxi flew out of the volcano and arrived at a height of ten thousand feet in the sky, Qi Observation and trying to capture the array patterns within the volcano.
Then he discovered that the patterns of the giant array stretched from the volcanic wall to the bottom of the volcano, and then from the bottom of the volcano into its depths, like a spider web covering the sky...
It stretched out in such a dense, continuous line.
Chen Lingxi gasped.
"This volcano is the very center of the spider web, the very eye of the entire formation."
"Or rather, it was Emperor Daye who, relying on this volcano, constructed the entire grand array, which spread throughout the Weiji Grotto-Heaven!"
