You all must quickly sit cross-legged and enter stillness, guarding your original heart. Absolutely do not peek at the upper realm. Be ignorant and unaware of everything outside, neither hearing nor seeing. Otherwise, be careful that your lives will not be guaranteed and your Dao paths will not be stable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Treasure Cloud Sea, there were even more cultivators coming to pick people up than those who came out of Hengze Heaven. Hundreds of cultivators were gathered by their respective sects, and they had already distanced themselves from each other intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, thick blackness spread across the sky, and each sect had different ways of dealing with it. Here at the Shangqing Sect, True Person Wang did not speak, but Lu Huangning had already sternly instructed Xu Shaowei, Ruan Ci, and Qin Fengyu. He had always given the impression of having a good temper, but at this moment, his voice was stern and contained murderous intent, making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, and they dared not take any chances, relying on the protection of their elders to boldly try to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Shaowei usually seemed a bit willful, but at this time she was extremely obedient. As soon as Lu Huangning’s voice fell, she sat down cross-legged, raised her hand, and released a golden bell. The golden bell grew in the wind, fell, and covered her. Ruan Ci couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this, thinking that this must be the life-substituting golden bell given to her by Old Ancestor Xu. She didn't expect Tai Shi Yi to take away her golden bell and return it to her in less than ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Cave Heaven and Nascent Soul experts were so prepared, so the Foundation Establishment disciples were naturally panicked. The Jinbo Sect sent a Nascent Soul elder to pick up Li Pingyan. At this time, he flew over with his disciple, bowed to True Person Wang’s incarnation, and pointed a finger, actually pointing Li Pingyan down directly and stuffing him into a human bag. Only in this way was it the most secure. Li Pingyan would definitely not observe the thick black aura inside the human bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other sects also directly pointed their disciples down, or ordered them not to peek and to guard their hearts. There were also some loose sect cultivators who, by chance, did not enter the city and had been earning some small money outside the city. They had absolutely no possibility of obtaining the Hengze Jade Dew, so no one from their sects came to pick them up. At this time, they were all panicked and at a loss. Some rushed to the nearest Cave Heaven cultivator, begging for protection, some turned into light and flew away, and some learned from those cultivators who were looked after by their teachers, closing their five senses, and even pointing themselves down, trying to muddle through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci relied on the protection of the Donghua Sword and was not as anxious as Xu Shaowei and Qin Fengyu. She thought of Jiang Youwen, stood on the cloud top, looked around, and took in the situation of everyone, but she didn't see anyone similar to Jiang Youwen. She had to put this matter aside. Just as she was about to sit and enter stillness, True Person Wang called her over, wiped her face lightly, and a ray of spiritual light protected Ruan Ci’s head and face. She immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Lu Huangning helped her to the side to lie down. To outsiders, it looked like True Person Wang was worried that his disciple was young and didn't know things, so he patted her with a ray of spiritual light and pointed her down to end it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ruan Ci knew her own situation. Although her body was involuntary, her consciousness was still clear. Lying on the cloud head, she happened to look up at the thick black aura gradually expanding. In her spiritual sense, she could vaguely feel that the auras of many Cave Heaven cultivators were connected together, forming a large net that covered the Treasure Cloud, and even the sky above the Treasure Cloud Ferry in the distance. In fact, those loose sect cultivators, even if they were not beside the Cave Heaven cultivator, were also protected within it, but this large net had sparse and dense parts, so naturally, the closer they were to the Cave Heaven cultivator, the safer they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she didn't deliberately observe the field of imposing auras, she could still vaguely perceive the changes in the field, which showed how intense the confrontation in the field was. But Ruan Ci also knew that with the perception of Foundation Establishment cultivators, they might not even know at what level the most intense confrontation in the field was, and they couldn't sense the pressure brought by the thick black color to the Cave Heaven cultivators. It was just that as she looked at the blackness gradually expanding in a trance, this thick blackness was not at all similar to the night. It seemed to reflect countless weird and inexplicable things, which were lying behind the blackness, peeking at everyone on the cloud top. Ruan Ci’s heart moved, and she thought, \"This... could this be a Heavenly Demon? Could it be a Heavenly Demon invasion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts turned, and she wanted to find Su Jingxing nearby. Although she couldn't move while lying down, fortunately, her spiritual sense could move without hindrance. She could see the area where these hundreds of people were clearly. Before long, she found Little Su. He was standing behind an incarnation of spiritual light with a blurred face, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. Sure enough, he didn't close his five senses like the other cultivators, but looked calm, with a hint of exploration. That incarnation turned his head and didn't know what he said to him. Su Jingxing frowned, nodded, and then closed his eyes, no longer watching the top of his head, but clearly he was not as facing a great enemy as others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Sect cultivators really have unique insights in dealing with Heavenly Demons. No wonder they can have a place in the Central Continent. The Yanshan forces have even spread from the North Nether Continent to here, as if they have crossed the continent.\" Ruan Ci thought to herself, \"But Little Su is really too arrogant. I don't know what benefits he absorbed in that scroll painting. Langhuan Zhou Tian has the Dongyang Dao Rhyme to suppress it, but this Heavenly Demon can still invade here. It is at least a great expert of the Cave Heaven level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she didn't know to what extent her cultivation had to reach to be able to invade Langhuan Zhou Tian so blatantly. Just as she was guessing wildly and letting her imagination run wild, the thick blackness had completely covered the blue sky above the Treasure Cloud Sea. Within the blackness, the thickness constantly surged and transformed, and even a friction sound was vaguely emitted, making one’s scalp tingle. All the Cave Heaven incarnations looked up and waited quietly, not knowing how long it had been surging. Suddenly, the sky jumped, revealing a white round ball, occupying half of the sky, like a giant star, pressing on the edge of the sky, permeated with an unsettling taste. There was a black hole in the center of the white ball, turning endlessly in the sky. Ruan Ci watched for a while, suddenly understood, and thought, \"This... this is an eye with black and white reversed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people’s eyes have an eyeball in the white of the eye, and a slightly lighter pupil in the eyeball. But this eye contained a white eyeball in the black, and a light black pupil in the eyeball. It was as if a giant had brought his eye to the Zhou Tian, which was not too big for him, poked a small hole, and stuck his eye on it to look in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a timid mortal, just looking at this scene would probably be scared crazy. But in the cultivation world, what is strange about weird and terrifying scenes? Even those Demon Sect disciples like to pretend to be ghosts the most. Ruan Ci had long been used to it, but she still instinctively felt that this eye was very unsettling. She first thought, \"Am I timid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she denied it, \"Otherwise, I am not timid. I am not afraid now, I just feel that thing makes my spiritual sense uncomfortable... It must have some special features. Looking at it like this, I can't see it. Since Master didn't really point me down, it means that this thing cannot damage my Dao foundation, or... try to take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so close to True Person Wang’s incarnation, and her thoughts should not have been hidden from True Person Wang. This had been verified before. Ruan Ci thought about it, and then looked at True Person Wang eagerly in her spiritual sense. Seeing that he seemed to be unaware and hadn't moved for a long time, she plucked up the courage and peeked at the field of imposing auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one glance, and the spiritual light crisscrossing the field of imposing auras almost shocked her. Only then did Ruan Ci know that the continent star map in the Dao Palace of the South Zhuzhou was actually a reflection of the field of imposing auras. At this time, many spiritual light figures in the field of imposing auras stood proudly on the mountains and rivers, occupying almost all the aura of this place, and also making that \"reversed eye\" unable to occupy Langhuan Zhou Tian at all, having to look down from the edge of the sky. But from it, distorted spiritual flowers continued to fall, which was the Dongyang Dao Rhyme. At first glance, the colorless spiritual flowers bloomed in pieces, and there was no abnormality. But after careful taste, it seemed to be different. The spiritual flowers fell on the large net and were all bounced away. At this time, the sky above the large net was full of flying flowers, echoing with the black and white reversed eye, weird and yet a bit desolate. Ruan Ci only stared for a while, and many spiritual flowers flew toward her. She hurriedly moved her eyes away. True Person Wang turned his hand and held out a jade chime, tapped it lightly, the large net trembled, and the spiritual flowers all bounced up, dancing chaotically in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reversed eye seemed to be angered, turning crazily in the sky, making a harsh sound. But Ruan Ci heard a hoarse voice in the field of imposing auras, the tone was extremely peaceful, and it could even be said to be emotionless, completely contrary to the crazy performance of that eye, \"Something is missing. The virtual numbers are chaotic. In the real numbers, something is missing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci’s heart jumped, and she thought, \"This is an eye looking from the virtual numbers! That Dao Rhyme is also the Dao Rhyme in the virtual numbers. No wonder the Cave Heaven experts are so cautious, as if facing a great enemy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she broke through a layer of truth, what she saw from the reversed eye at the edge of the sky became even richer. At this time, she could see countless Heavenly Demons crawling and gnawing in the blackness of the eye, but they could not hurt this eye at all. \"Yes, yes, in the virtual numbers, the defense of Dao Rhyme is not as dense as in the real numbers. Heavenly Demons seem to be able to travel between real and virtual numbers. If they want to invade Langhuan Zhou Tian, they all start from the virtual numbers. This visitor from the virtual numbers is full of Heavenly Demons... No wonder, no wonder Sister Xie wanted to betray Shangqing. Now that I think about it, she can break the barrier and cross the void, which must be done by the magic of Heavenly Demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts were flying, and she only heard a pleasant female voice in the distance saying, \"Envoy, everything is fine in the real numbers. We are accepting disciples returning from Hengze Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice sounded normal in her ears, but it was a harsh friction sound echoing in the field of imposing auras. Ruan Ci thought, \"Could it be that the virtual numbers and real numbers want to communicate, and can only do so through the field of imposing auras? The words spoken by that eye sound harsh and noisy to us, but they are normal in the field of imposing auras. What would it be like in the virtual numbers? Completely reversed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, the eye envoy seemed to have understood the Cave Heaven’s reply and made another noisy sound. In the field of imposing auras, his voice also carried a hint of doubt, \"Hengze Heaven, Hengze Heaven, is that person’s inner scene heaven and earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, there are indeed abnormal changes in Hengze Heaven, but there is no error in the aura in the continent. Everything is as usual, Envoy. Time is chaotic in the virtual numbers. Have you sensed it wrong?\" The female voice replied slowly, \"That heaven and earth is a dream within a dream, a remnant within a remnant. All changes cannot affect our real numbers—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice stopped suddenly, and the noisy friction sound in the field of imposing auras also stopped. The eye turned crazily suddenly, and the black pupil on the white eyeball turned so fast that it almost became a residual image and a black line. The Cave Heaven incarnations all showed surprise, staring at each other and asking, as if some huge change that Ruan Ci could not sense was happening here. It was just that she was like blind and deaf at this time, and had no clue about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow hissing sound came from the sky. In the field of imposing auras, the tone of the eye envoy sounded extremely frustrated, \"It’s going to escape, it’s going to escape! You play with time, making the fruit before the cause. What Dao Ancestor are you? What Dao Ancestor are you? Quickly say your Dao name. Are you the Dao Ancestor of the Universe? The Dao Ancestor of Time? No! You are the remnant of the old world, you are the virtual within the virtual. How can you cross the virtual numbers and escape? You—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice suddenly cut off. At this time, Ruan Ci finally felt the changes around her, but it was extremely distant and unusually blurred. She only felt that something was floating out from the Treasure Cloud Sea under her feet. It was extremely light, as if there was nothing, but it also felt very heavy, carrying some huge and important things. This thing brushed past her, and it also seemed to be in the far distance, impossible to sense or observe. Even those Cave Heaven cultivators had a hint of confusion on their faces. Their sensing was certainly much clearer than Ruan Ci’s, but they still couldn't see the entity of that thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing flew past everyone’s side and headed toward the center of the eye at the edge of the sky. The round ball turned violently, faster than before. A long wail came from the field of imposing auras, \"No————\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was in her ears or in the field of imposing auras, a lazy chuckle sounded suddenly. At the same time, there was a long cry with a different rhythm from the eyeball, making people clearly know that this smile spanned virtual and real, and resonated at the same time. With this laugh, the turning speed of the eyeball gradually slowed down, as if it were destined. When that thing flew to the edge of the sky, the black pupil finally slowly stopped, reluctantly meeting the momentum of that thing moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"poof\" sound, like a needle breaking a drum skin, in Ruan Ci’s sensing, it was just a stab that was almost indistinguishable. But that thing seemed to fall into a whirlpool, and the huge weight suddenly rotated and leaked out from that point. In an instant, the pressure on Ruan Ci’s shoulders seemed to lighten, but her heart felt a little lost, as if a trace of something was missing in the world around her. Although it was only a trace, it also made her feel a little heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea of spiritual energy beneath the Treasure Cloud Sea was still surging, but there was not even a trace of wind on the clouds. The world seemed to freeze here. The white eyeball was embedded in the edge of the sky like a painting. I don't know how long it took, the pleasant female voice sighed softly, \"Envoy, you were fooled by that person and rashly peeked at the real numbers, but gave him a chance to escape. By using the Envoy, he broke through the blockade in both virtual and real. If the Dao Ancestor knows about this, he will definitely punish you. Envoy, you must be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyeball suddenly began to turn slowly again. In the field of imposing auras, the eye envoy shouted hoarsely, \"It’s you! You must have touched something in the real numbers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That piece of thick blackness disappeared suddenly. The next moment, a giant hand slowly pressed down, and the spiritual energy large net trembled immediately. Many Cave Heaven incarnations’ spiritual energy shook. Behind that giant hand, the eyeball appeared again, but it was much smaller, seemingly moving back some distance to reach out. At this time, it turned crazily in the sky in the distance, and the friction sound cut and noisy in the sky, \"Hand—over—everyone—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the wait, everyone.
