Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

Within the space of his consciousness, Shen Moyan stood in emptiness, still harboring many doubts.

With the Origin Preaching Stele in place, the spiritual practice of "Seeing the Unknown" will be subject to unprecedented restrictions.

Isn't this a contradiction?

So how do ordinary Taoist practitioners see Xi Yi?

Does someone also have a sea of ​​consciousness space, just like the Starry Sky Enlightenment Fate Master?

Wait, the sea of ​​consciousness space?

A startling thought flashed through Shen Moyan's mind like lightning.

Nine Songs Seal?!

The Nine Songs Seal, the Nine Mysterious Divine Bird Seal, represents nine levels of official rank.

Only by rising higher in the Holy Court can one unlock more privileges.

It's impossible to see Xi Yi in the Transcendent Realm without connections.

"The Holy Court's monopoly is truly ubiquitous." Shen Moyan's expression was gloomy.

Both Jiuge Wenchang Immortal Lord's Jiuge Network and Wanbao Fuyuan Immortal Lord's Wanbao Network can remotely connect the wills of cultivators, enabling remote communication and even online transactions.

Shen Moyan closed his eyes and once again sensed the space he was in.

They feel pretty much the same; they're both in a realm of consciousness detached from reality.

"To inscribe the Way, this is to inscribe the Way."

"The power of the inscription is astonishing enough, so what does the invincible and unstoppable [佡] look like?"

Shen Moyan couldn't imagine it.

He was merely a mortal, not qualified to fathom the realm of higher cultivators.

"Perhaps the Four Emperors of the Holy Court, such as Jiuge and Wanbao, are already at the level of the Holy Court, but with my current perspective, I cannot make a judgment."

"By the way, since Xi Yi is like this, why does Qing Ming find it cruel?"

Shen Moyan looked puzzled.

After Qingming met Xiyi, the book is vague about why he stood in the heavens and laughed wildly.

As the enlightenment classic of the Daoist school, was the record in the "Shan Hai Si Ming Zhi" deliberately edited and arranged?

Once doubts arise in one's mind, they grow like weeds.

Suddenly, Shen Moyan frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

Why do I place such great trust in this [Starry Sky Enlightenment Deity]?

Shen Moyan realized this too late.

Why would he so readily allow his consciousness to roam freely within the mind of a diviner?

He continued to seek opportunities in this space without any sense of crisis.

How could I trust a newly born Fate Master so much?

Honestly, is Shen Moyan that kind of person?

This inexplicable sense of trust is strange!

After transcending all appearances and returning to one's true self, Shen Moyan's feelings became increasingly pronounced.

But just as Shen Moyan was lost in thought, Si Ming's sea of ​​consciousness began to shatter.

"What's going on?"

Shen Moyan looked back at the Milky Way.

One by one, the sea of ​​stars dimmed, and from Shen Moyan's perspective, Si Ming's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly collapsed.

Reality, Flying to Gwangju, Quiet Room.

Shen Moyan suddenly opened his eyes.

[Real name: Shen Moyan]

[Race: Formless True Spirit]

[Realm: Peak of Mortal Transformation (Xian Dao) (See Xi Yi)]

Current lifespan: 800 years

[Current Skills: "Sword Art of the Startling Swan" (Self-created), "Scripture of Departure from All Forms" (Transcendent Realm), "Azure Sun Rising Technique" (Transcendent Realm), Paper Cutting to Create Humans (Mastery), "Primordial Demon Heavenly Book" (Fragment) (Transcendent Realm), "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" (Thirteenth Level)...]

"I'm back."

The moment his will returned to reality, Shen Moyan's thoughts in that Sea of ​​Fate space receded like the tide.

"The effects of the Divine Descent Pill have disappeared, and there are no side effects." Shen Moyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Blessed by the God of Fate, he successfully met Xi Yi, who miraculously managed to avoid a calamity.

He glanced at the tables, chairs, stone walls, and the aura of spiritual energy in the quiet room. Beneath all the appearances, his gaze penetrated the surface and directly saw the overflowing charm.

Upon seeing Xi Yi, Shen Moyan could now see the omnipresent Daoist spirit in the world.

He raised his hand and took out several high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade spirit stones.

From his perspective, the spirit stone was no longer a cold crystal.

Instead, it contains a variety of "energy" principles.

The higher the grade of the spirit stone, the more complex its Daoist aura, the more dazzling its light, and the closer its crystallization is to a certain perfect geometric shape.

Shen Moyan turned his head, and the protective array patterns engraved on the cave wall were no longer cold lines.

It has become a three-dimensional network intricately woven from various fundamental principles such as "solidity," "isolation," and "convergence."

The light shimmered, making the weak points and nodes immediately apparent.

Shen Moyan took a deep breath and inhaled the spiritual energy permeating the air.

With each breath, the spiritual energy transformed into countless tiny, pulsating particles in his eyes.

The Daoist light emitted by these particles is incredibly complex, intertwined, and impossible to see clearly.

Perhaps the collapse of the ancient immortal path was related to the complex Daoist essence of spiritual energy.

Shifting his gaze, Shen Moyan looked inward at himself.

Beneath the skin, there is the Daoist essence of "Qi and Blood" contained in the blood, the Daoist essence of "Resilience" accumulated in the bones, and the unique Daoist traces of the "Azure Sun Rising Technique" and "The Book of the Beginning Demon" carried by the surging magical power in the meridians.

The two Daoist principles intertwined, yet were subtly governed and harmonized by a newly emerging Daoist principle unique to him.

This kind of insight that gets straight to the heart of the matter is even more profound than divine sense.

In Shen Moyan's eyes, all things in the world shed their superficial illusions, revealing the principles of their composition and operation.

No, it should be the law of heaven.

"Is this... the perspective after meeting Xi Yi?"

Shen Moyan murmured to himself, his voice carrying an uncontrollable sense of shock.

Matter is composed of infinitely small, insignificant particles.

And [rhythm] is the vibration of the Xi Yi particles.

Shen Moyan realized that the Daoist essence was unique and could only be transformed and transferred.

No two leaves in the world are exactly alike.

The principles governing everything are not all the same.

Shen Moyan reviewed what he had learned in the academy in his previous life, and he now understood both the facts and the reasons behind them.

"Peak of Transcendental Realm, my race has changed?"

"The Formless True Spirit?"

What race is this?

Shen Moyan looked at the bookmark that I had written.

He immediately frowned.

He couldn't decipher the Daoist principles flowing across the bookmark.

That's true. If one's cheat ability were so easily seen through, then one's prestige would be too low.

Before Shen Moyan could think it through, he heard a deafening shattering sound, as if something had broken.

When he hurriedly switched to the clone's perspective, he was startled and his expression turned strange.

"The paper doll clones can't be contacted, and even the perspective from the Demon Lord is gone."

All of Shen Moyan's six sense fireflies in Langya Prefecture have lost contact.

He completely lost sight of Langya Prefecture.

Wait, that shattering sound just now came from outside?

Having observed from multiple perspectives and been accustomed to multitasking, Shen Moyan was startled to realize that the crisis was not in Langya Prefecture, but in Feiguang Prefecture, where he was located. He shuddered.

He suddenly stood up, donned the Heavenly Demon Armor and Wind Demon Wings, and went to the door of the quiet room. He opened it slightly and probed out with his divine sense to check the situation outside.

Before he could investigate further, a burst of fire shot into the sky from outside.

"Charge!"

Shen Moyan slammed the door shut, flicked his sleeve, and instantly activated dozens of layers of protective arrays, including the hidden spatial isolation barrier, within the quiet room at full power.

Layer upon layer of light enveloped him from the outside world, shimmering and dazzling, as solid as a rock.

boom!!!

The explosion was deafening, the great formation collapsed, spiritual energy flowed out of control, and space was brutally torn apart.

Shen Moyan was swept away by the oncoming shockwave and flew several miles before crashing heavily onto the city wall of Xianshou City.

He was in excruciating pain all over his body, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Heavenly Demon Armor he wore.

Shen Moyan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his hair disheveled and his robes torn.

"Cough cough..."

He slowly raised his head and struggled to open his eyes.

The colors of the sky were stripped away, leaving only large swaths of dark red and deep black.
