"Next was 'Supreme Shadow'!"
Dongguan frowned as he recalled this secret art of his.
The so-called "Supreme Shadow" had originally come from an Ultimate Realm secret art of the immeasurable great Dao, and also leaned toward "illusion."
When Dongguan circulated the "Dongguan Dao" and used that secret art to peer into the Supreme Rule, the subsequent reaction he triggered was "Supreme Shadow."
The so-called "environment reset" was actually a kind of "rejection response" from the Source World's Supreme Rule.
The Supreme Shadow he had used against Di Yan and the others back then could be called the "Immeasurable Supreme Shadow." The eight subsequent versions were the "Spatial Supreme Shadow," "Life Supreme Shadow," and so on, which penetrated the Supreme Rule through different origin great Daos. But in fact,
the effects they manifested externally were exactly the same.
"The power of observation," Dongguan said in appraisal of this phenomenon. "But this is no longer pure observation. If I head in this direction, I can still continue down this path, but that would go against my original wish. At the very least, for now, while the Dao is still being pioneered, it needs to remain 'pure.'"
Ever since its creation, the "Dongguan Dao" had never manifested anything externally. Everything happened within himself. Even the so-called "external" branch was actually "observation of the external."
The essence of "Supreme Shadow," meanwhile, was to construct a "microscope" through a secret art, peer into the Supreme Rule, and then trigger a reaction from it.
This secret art was a form of power. Continuing further could even yield a power such as "observational interference," which could even serve as a new branch of the Dao.
But Dongguan ultimately discarded it; it would instead compromise the Dao's purity.
The phenomenon existed inherently, but before he had finished pioneering
