Chapter 418: The Schemes of the Demon Eye Sovereign
Chapter 418: The Schemes of the Demon Eye Sovereign
The night was as dark as ink, with layers of clouds blocking out the moonlight, but a faint glow managed to pierce through, landing on Qi Yuan's crimson robe.
The soundless voice echoed in Qi Yuan's ears once more.
Qi Yuan, on his journey, held a jade slip game and looked at the icon within.
"I'm busy preparing to be an actor."
"If you don't grow a mouth, I won't know what you're saying!"
The jade slip game remained silent.
But Qi Yuan could hear the soundless voice, and countless speculations flashed through his mind.
"Who are you?"
"Are you Tai Xu, who can't speak?"
"Or are you Chaos, without form or orifices?"
"It's a pity I'm not Nuwa, or I could mold you into a clay figure and give you a face."
Qi Yuan spoke incoherently.
"My name is Qi Yuan. I'll be playing your game soon, and then I'll see if you're really a weakling!"
The crimson robe draped over Qi Yuan's body, and at that moment, his figure descended to the ground.
The spiritual energy around him fluctuated, signifying the arrival of a Yang Deity Venerable.
"Mo Zhi pays his respects to the Demon Eye Sovereign!"
Qi Yuan played his role with utmost respect.
His tall figure stood in the Absolute Moon Abyss, slightly leaning forward.
In the abyss, the guardian and ordinary Great Venerables heard the news and bowed towards Qi Yuan.
In the darkness, a hoarse voice sounded.
"Enter."
The sky above the Absolute Moon Abyss split open, revealing a gaping hole from which a massive amount of spiritual energy gushed forth.
Qi Yuan looked up, his gaze fixed on the hole as if he could see a pair of cold, indifferent eyes staring back at him.
Each Yang Deity Venerable had their own Ultimate Reason.
Qi Yuan was unaware of the Demon Eye's Ultimate Reason.
At this moment, he was extremely cautious, concealing his aura and maintaining the image of Mo Zhi.
Qi Yuan's figure entered the hole.
When his body reappeared, he was in a deep abyss.
Sapphire-blue clouds drifted, and several vertical, decaying iron chains stretched across the void, supporting a massive boulder.
On the boulder, atop a throne of white bones, stood a colossal eyeball.
There was no body, no limbs, just a single eyeball.
This eyeball was the true form of the Demon Eye Sovereign.
For Yang Deity Venerables, especially those with enemies, it was common to merge their past and present bodies into one, unless there were special circumstances. Otherwise, if an enemy were to capture their past body, they could trace it back to their true form, which would be quite troublesome.
"This time, you must suppress the Broken Moon Abyss for ten thousand years.
As fellow Yang Deities, we should move around more." The Demon Eye's voice was hoarse.
"As you wish!" Qi Yuan nodded.
The space was pitch-black, with hardly any sunlight.
Qi Yuan wondered if the Demon Eye Sovereign's true form being an eyeball meant that sunlight would be too blinding.
What if he became nearsighted? Qi Yuan really wanted to ask if the Demon Eye Sovereign needed glasses.
But remembering that he was currently acting as Mo Zhi, he held back.
At the same time, Qi Yuan felt touched by his own dedication.
To be a good actor, he had to suppress his true nature, and he had sacrificed a lot.
"I heard... you killed the guardian of Tai Huang Palace?" The Demon Eye Sovereign spoke again, his voice hoarse, revealing no other emotions.
"I, as the guardian of the Broken Moon Abyss, have personally come here, yet you didn't greet me. You deserve to die!" Qi Yuan declared.
"You're right," the Demon Eye Sovereign responded.
After all, it was just a guardian of Tai Huang Palace.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sovereign!" Qi Yuan continued his act.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if countless eyes were staring at him.
He tightened his aura, and his eyes revealed a look of calm, as if he hadn't noticed the gazes.
"In a few days, the Absolute Moon Abyss will hold the Moon Festival Banquet. Mo Zhi... do you want to join me in invading the Absolute Moon Abyss and make a name for ourselves?" The Demon Eye Sovereign asked.
Bloodshot eyes scrutinized Qi Yuan, and he felt a sense of insignificance.
It seemed that the eye in the distance should not be sitting on a throne of white bones but rather hanging in the sky.
"Sovereign... you want to invade the Absolute Moon Abyss?" Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "The Creation Treasure of Moon Goddess Palace, Bamboo Fragment, is probably... very difficult to obtain."
Moon Goddess Palace had more than one Creation Treasure.
In the Demon Abyss, the Creation Treasure Bamboo Fragment protected various areas of the Moon Goddess Palace, placing them in the 'Empty Bright Solitude'.
This was a special attack against Yang Deities.
Any Heavenly Sovereign who entered this realm would be subjected to a unique mental attack.
Those who forcefully ascend to the Yang Deity Realm, their divine souls flawed, will instantly fall prey to this Creation Treasure.
Even ordinary flawless divine souls of the Heavenly Sovereigns will be affected by this Creation Treasure, causing even perfect divine souls to develop flaws.
At this moment, the Yang Deity Venerable of the Moon Goddess Palace will make a decisive move, ensuring a swift and deadly outcome.
Each Creation Treasure possesses unique abilities.
"Bamboo Moon Fragment..." A smile flashed in the eyes of the Sovereign of the Eye, "In this world, the one thing that is not lacking is ambitious individuals.
Within the Moon Goddess Palace, there is a myth who has been stuck in the Myth Realm for 500,000 years.
In the Moon Goddess Palace, she will never be able to enter the Yang Deity Realm in this lifetime. The Primordial Lord has promised to help her achieve the Yang Deity Realm, but she..." For the Primordial Lord's small favor, she will guide him.
She has a tiny bit of Bamboo Moon Fragment's authority, but it is enough."
"This... The Yang Deity Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven..." Qi Yuan continued to play the role of Molizh Tianzun.
What he meant was that the Yang Deity Realm is extremely challenging, and even the Sovereign of the Eye, as the Ultimate Reason, cannot help a Myth cultivator attain the Yang Deity Realm.
"It's just a promise. Is it really possible for the Primordial Lord to help her achieve the Yang Deity Realm? A mere Myth, even with the cooperation of the Ultimate Reason, will still lose if she understands the rules." The Sovereign of the Eye said confidently.
Myth cultivators are limited by their own understanding, and they may think they can sign certain treaties or make certain heart demon vows with Yang Deity Venerables to establish a cooperative relationship.
However, according to the saying on Blue Star, a Myth cultivator is like a middle school student, while a Yang Deity Venerable is like an extremely professional lawyer. When the two sign a contract, it is difficult for the middle school student to discover the hidden traps.
This kind of situation is not fair.
That Myth cultivator, even if she suspects that the Sovereign of the Eye might deceive her, can only take a gamble.
After all, the opportunity to attain the Yang Deity Realm is too precious.
"If it weren't for the Moon God Primordial Lord being injured and the Moon Goddess Palace being in turmoil, she wouldn't have made up her mind to cooperate with the Primordial Lord." The Sovereign of the Eye continued, "The Primordial Lord will be responsible for the sneak attack, severely injuring the Moon Gatherer Sovereign. You... just need to conceal the events here from the other Yang Deity Venerables. Before leaving, also take the opportunity to eliminate all the lower-ranked cultivators of the Moon Goddess Palace and capture the two Moon Maidens."
The Sovereign of the Eye revealed his entire plan to Qi Yuan.
The main objective of this Moon Festival Banquet is to launch a surprise attack and severely injure the Moon Gatherer Sovereign. As for slaying him, that is beyond his capabilities.
Secondly, the Sovereign of the Eye will eliminate the lower-ranked cultivators of the Moon Goddess Palace and capture the two Moon Maidens, which can be considered a decent achievement.
Qi Yuan pretended to ponder, "This... Could there be a conspiracy?"
"What, you don't trust the Primordial Lord?"
"No!" Qi Yuan quickly lowered his head, standing like a minion.
He also felt that his acting skills were improving.
"Are you interested?" The Sovereign of the Eye asked again.
Qi Yuan pondered and replied, "Yes, but... I still have some matters to attend to in the Broken Moon Abyss. Can I return before the eve of the Moon Festival Banquet?"
The gaze of the Sovereign of the Eye became even more profound, "Yes."
"Thank you, Heavenly Sovereign. Farewell!" Qi Yuan said, and his figure disappeared from the vast land, seeming rather anxious.
In the vast abyss, darkness enveloped everything, except for the Sovereign of the Eye seated on a white bone throne.
Suddenly, the pitch-black night sky lit up at this moment.
Countless scarlet eyeballs appeared above the original sky, rotating in unison.
The Sovereign of the Eye, seated on the white bone throne, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"What is he desperately hiding?"
"It seems like a regular meeting."
The Sovereign of the Eye muttered to himself as the previous scene appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, the densely packed eyeballs in the night sky spoke in unison.
"The Ultimate Reason of the Primordial Lord is Subtle Perception. Anything hidden within my sight will be revealed!"
The eyes on the white bone throne slanted, and his aura surged.
The Ultimate Reason that the Sovereign of the Eye comprehended on the Doctrine Wall was Subtle Perception.
In the 1619th chapter, it will be revealed without error!
The Ultimate Reason of Subtle Perception is like a clear mirror, reflecting the void.
Suspended high in the sky, one can see the bustling ants, the textures of rocks, the essence of heaven and earth, and the secrets of the Great Dao.
"Reveal!"
Just now, the Sovereign of the Eye sensed that Molizh was hiding something.
Therefore, Subtle Perception was activated at this moment.
Instantly, a hint of purple aura appeared in his eyes, "Purple Aura Breath!"
He caught a glimpse of the Immortal World's First Aura, the breath of purple aura.
"He has recently come into contact with the purple aura!"
"He just arrived at the Sixth Heaven and discovered the purple aura, probably without enough time to recover it."
"No wonder he was in such a hurry to return."
"Heavenly Spirit Treasures are inhabited by those with virtue!"
"The purple aura... is fated with the Primordial Lord!"
The Sovereign of the Eye's voice was hoarse, and his figure also dissipated at this moment.
All the eyeballs in the night sky converged into one.
Demon Eye Sovereign transformed into a shadow, immediately following the trail of the aura.
In just a few breaths, he spotted the figure in crimson robes.
"Such composure... but you can't escape my Subtle Awareness."
He trailed behind, keeping a safe distance and remaining unseen.
Up ahead, Qi Yuan seemed unaware and continued on his journey.
Crossing the Absolute Moon Abyss, Qi Yuan returned to the Broken Moon Abyss. His sleeves fluttered, and he disappeared into the palace.
Demon Eye Sovereign's eyes gleamed with amusement, as if everything was under his control, "So cautious, are you?"
He was patient and chose to lie in wait.
In the void, a giant eye stared intently at Qi Yuan.
Time flew by.
Demon Eye Sovereign remained hidden in the shadows.
Currently, Molizh Tianzun appeared motionless.
But Demon Eye Sovereign knew he was pretending.
It was useless.
The best acting in the world couldn't escape his Subtle Awareness.
As expected, on a dark and windy night, he saw a figure stealthily emerge from the palace.
Demon Eye Sovereign's eyes twinkled with amusement, "Trying to trick me again?"
Demon Eye Sovereign knew that his concealment wouldn't be discovered by Molizh Tianzun.
But Molizh Tianzun's actions were clearly driven by instinct and caution.
Demon Eye Sovereign remained still, content to stay hidden.
To achieve greatness, one must endure and have thick skin.
Even as a Principle Yang Immortal, thick skin meant nothing to him.
As expected, after about half an hour, Molizh Tianzun's true body emerged from the palace and vanished in a flash of light.
Demon Eye Sovereign's eyes shone with laughter, "You couldn't sit still, could you? I'll gladly accept your Purple Aura!"
"Youngster, the world's wisdom is in the hands of the old!"
"The Dao path is too smooth, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Demon Eye Sovereign concealed himself and followed.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was sneaking around, hiding his aura like a thief.
"Wait... I'll give him a scare!"
Demon Eye Sovereign felt he still had a sense of humor, and his giant eye followed.
Seizing the Purple Aura, invading the Moon Goddess Palace, he couldn't afford to alert Molizh Tianzun. But these were minor concerns.
After about a hundred breaths, Molizh Tianzun suddenly stopped.
Demon Eye Sovereign felt triumphant and narrowed his eyes, "Purple Aura... such dense Purple Aura."
He was tempted to act but decided to wait a bit longer.
His mood was excellent.
The Purple Aura was extremely precious to him and could enhance his strength.
For a Principle Yang Immortal, it was rare to find a quick way to improve their strength, and refining the Purple Aura was one such method.
"This kid discovered the Purple Aura as soon as he arrived at the Broken Moon Abyss. He has some luck, but... it's destined to be mine!"
Demon Eye Sovereign waited to seize the Purple Aura.
"Wait, with his caution... could it be that the treasure isn't just the Purple Aura?"
Demon Eye Sovereign pondered.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his aura became unstable for a moment.
Because he had discovered a large cluster of Purple Aura up ahead!
Moreover, the Purple Aura was heading towards a door!
White jade, profound, and sacred—no words could adequately describe that door!
The aura of wisdom and ultimate principles made any Yang Immortal Venerable yearn and covet.
Even Demon Eye Sovereign couldn't help but reveal his aura.
After all, this was the Immortal World's first Creation Treasure, the Ultimate Reason Gate! Whoever possessed it could become the master of the Ninth Heaven!
"You... how did you get here?" Qi Yuan's eyes widened in shock, his voice filled with fear and anger.
Demon Eye Sovereign burst into laughter, "Thank you, Molizh Tianzun."
At this moment, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
The Purple Aura wasn't enough to kill, but the Ultimate Reason Gate was different!
Seeing Molizh Tianzun's anxious and defeated expression, Demon Eye Sovereign was overjoyed.
"Damn it, it's mine, it's all mine!"
Molizh Tianzun seemed to have lost his mind and rushed towards the Ultimate Reason Gate.
Demon Eye Sovereign, seeing this, didn't hesitate and entered the Ultimate Reason Gate like a mythical Roc.
"Kid, I'll take the Ultimate Reason Gate!"
If it were another time, he might have been more cautious before entering.
But now, if Molizh Tianzun entered and controlled the Ultimate Reason Gate, that wouldn't be good!
So, he didn't hesitate and rushed in.
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from within the Ultimate Reason Gate.
"Heaven's Blind Eye, how dare this dog thief deceive me!"
