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

[The prototype of my innate supernatural power has been added to the bookmark]

Time seemed to stretch to its limit at this moment, or perhaps it was completely frozen.

The violently descending pillar of starlight stopped the moment it touched the area of ​​this eternal Daoist aura.

The destructive energy fluctuations of the starlight were smoothed out as if by an invisible hand, its forward speed slowed infinitely, and finally...

It hovered in mid-air, like an insect encased in amber.

Shen Moyan pursued eternity, even if it was only for a fleeting moment.

In that instant, Shen Moyan took a step forward.

He casually walked across the pillar of starlight and arrived before the Celestial Master.

Seeing the other person's frozen expression, Shen Moyan raised his hand and swung his sword.

Mana consumption.

He took the elixir, restored his magical power, and swung his sword once more.

Mana depleted.

He took the elixir, restored his magical power, and swung his sword once more...

As this process continues, the sword light capable of harming those at the Purple Mansion Realm gradually accumulates, from the initial single sword light to ten, a hundred, and a thousand sword lights!

He only stopped when Shen Moyan's stock of pills was almost completely depleted.

In a battle between masters, this one moment is enough!

Just as the Celestial Master's mind trembled violently and a crack appeared in his domain control...

The long-accumulated, stunning sword light suddenly erupted!

The dazzling sword light is no longer about speed, but about ignoring the process and reaching the finish line directly.

Thousands of sword lights easily pierced through the Star Immortal's body, as if passing through an illusory image.

"puff!"

Blood and light intertwined, and the essence of Taoism burst forth!

Without any reaction, the Celestial Master was blasted into a bloody mist by thousands of slashes that were as fleeting as a glimpse of a swan!

The opponent's Purple Mansion Domain collapsed with a roar, returning to reality.

Shen Moyan's face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed precariously.

After ceasing his supernatural powers, his magical energy was exhausted, and he endured his weakness to swallow the last Great Rejuvenation Pill.

Forcibly unleashing his nascent innate divine power nearly drained him of everything.

[Real name: Shen Moyan]

[Race: Formless True Spirit]

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

Current lifespan: 780 years

[Current Skills: The Instant Eternity of What is Written (Prototype of Innate Divine Power), "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), "The Primordial Demon Heavenly Book" (Incomplete) (Transcendent Realm), "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" (Thirteenth Level)...]

Shen Moyan, leaning on his sword, knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his eyes serious.

It took him twenty years of his lifespan to activate even a rudimentary form of supernatural power before he even reached the Purple Mansion realm.

"Who... exactly are you?"

On the spot, the physical body of the Star Realm Person vanished.

Yet the remnant soul remains, dim and illusory, riddled with cracks.

His remnant soul looked at Shen Moyan with a horrified expression.

Was I instantly killed?

No longer caring about any get-out-of-jail-free card, he activated his supernatural powers and attempted to escape into the void.

But he was still a step too slow; Shen Moyan waved his hand dismissively.

The Five Aggregates Combined: Imprisoning the Soul and Locking the Spirit.

The demonic energy emanated from the five fingers, firmly locking the remnant soul of the Star Immortal within the palm of his hand.

"The Six Hells Demonic Sect's hidden magic techniques—you're a true disciple of the Demonic Sect!?"

"Wait! According to the Immortal Covenant, as the true disciple, you cannot kill me..."

Shen Moyan ignored him, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Such a cunning person could scheme against the entire Langya Prefecture.

This human being's words are not to be trusted, and must not be allowed to live!

Soul Searching Technique!

Before he could finish speaking, the remnant soul of the Celestial Master let out a piercing scream.

A flood of chaotic and complex memories surged into Shen Moyan's mind like a burst dam.

"No--!"

The remnant soul of the Celestial Immortal let out a final, desperate howl, attempting to detonate its soul source and destroy its memories.

Boom! His remnant soul exploded into countless points of light.

But it was no use. From Xi Yi's perspective, the light spots regrouped, and Shen Moyan sorted out and absorbed these fragments of memory.

"I got a little impatient and blew it a bit too hard."

Shen Moyan let out a muffled groan.

Even from Xi Yi's perspective, it would take quite a while to repair these memory spots.

"It's alright, let's focus on repairing the memories that were the first to explode."

In life-or-death situations, the first thing that explodes in our subconscious is often the secret we least want others to know.

To avoid the other party having accomplices, Shen Moyan left Mojin City.

They were moved to another ordinary small town thousands of miles away.

As the fragments of memory were finally pieced together in Shen Moyan's sea of ​​consciousness, the information gradually became clear.

"this……"

Shen Moyan's pupils dilated in shock.

His face turned deathly pale, and he stumbled back several steps in the room.

"It's true! This Celestial Master is indeed an ancient cultivator from the Heavenly Mystery Sect who infiltrated the Holy Court!"

Recalling that restored memory, Shen Moyan murmured.

"A guest who has been reincarnated three times..."

He hurriedly took out the book "Two or Three Things About Reincarnation" that he had bought from Cen Bolang.

In ancient times, as long as one bribed a cultivator in the underworld, one could be reincarnated with their memories and even some of their cultivation.

But there are too many people who need to reincarnate; countless people died in the ancient great war between mountains and seas.

If everyone were to be reincarnated immediately, it would have a serious impact on the world order in Shanghai.

Therefore, it's not about preventing reincarnation, but about allowing it to happen gradually, in an orderly manner.

The presence of countless beings from other planes in line caused many cultivators' reincarnations to be unsuccessful, even resulting in significant delays, sometimes lasting tens of thousands or even millions of years.

Shen Moyan knew that during the Three Lives Era, when the Underworld was first established, many people of immortal lineages, like Zheng Quan, joined the Holy Court and were forced to reincarnate. They also had a backup plan: they bribed Underworld cultivators and did not wash away their past life karma memories. To this day, they still harbored resentment towards the Xuanhuang Emperor.

According to the deep memories of the Celestial Immortal, millions of years ago, the Twenty-One Daoist lineages signed the "Immortal Covenant" to ensure mutual support among the members of the previous lineages within the Holy Court.

At this moment, Shen Moyan remembered seeing "Renyuan Ginseng" for sale on Wanbao.com.

If one were a native of the Holy Court, and based on the values ​​established through the three trials, one would either affirm or deny this action.

But the transaction of "human ginseng" still took place.

Cultivating ginseng and establishing nurseries are timeless traditions.

This only proves...

"The Holy Court has now been thoroughly infiltrated by the twenty-one immortal lineages!"

Shen Moyan's mind went blank.

The Immortal Lineage does not directly conflict with the Holy Court.

Instead, as times changed, they gradually sent people to nibble away at and eventually occupy the Holy Court.

Through their official positions and bloodlines, these families have established themselves in the upper echelons of the Holy Court.

Ultimately, the Holy Court will be 'possessed'!

"What an immortal lineage! No wonder it's called immortal..."

Shen Moyan was shocked by this conclusion.

"But that's not the most important thing..." Shen Moyan recalled the memories of the Star Realm Master.

The Celestial Master's plot to seize the Immunity Token was not merely for its intrinsic value, but rather to use the secret techniques of the Heavenly Mystery Sect to investigate the cause and effect of the token.

This was done to verify a startling conjecture that could overturn the entire understanding of the world of mountains and seas—

The Xuanhuang Emperor may no longer be in the realm of mountains and seas!
