Chapter 814: Dead, Silent Eyes

"Is the end ahead, is there an end ahead..."

"Ah, what do I see?"

"No, you cannot do this, let me go!"

"Hahaha, so that is how it is, so that is how it is, is this the true origin, the true mystery, the answer to everything? I understand..."

The two slowly uttered the so-called secret echoes.

Li Heng frowned and fell into thought after listening, then suddenly remembered something, looked at the two, and asked, "How do you know these echoes? Did the Spirit of Mountain and Sea intentionally send them back?"

The two looked at each other, also somewhat bewildered, and then spoke.

"Regarding this, we two are not too clear either, but perhaps it is because we are the second-generation will of the Mountain and Sea Great World, and have an obscure connection with the first-generation will, the Spirit of Mountain and Sea."

"So that is how it is?"

Li Heng nodded, indicating he believed them.

He truly believed them, because he had just spared no Source Power to confirm it. These two indeed believed this was the reason, at least that was what they thought.

"However, these words do not contain much information."

Li Heng shook his head.

"But I am curious, how could such information-less echoes make you feel that you have been targeted by some obscure, Inauspicious, and Strange thing?"

"Do you perhaps have some feeling?"

Hearing Li Heng's question, the two smiled bitterly and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist has eyes like torches, that is exactly the case."

"After we two heard the echoes sent back by the Spirit of Mountain and Sea in the past, we felt that the surroundings became somewhat wrong, as if something extra had appeared, staring at us fixedly all the time."

"And this thing seems to get closer and closer to us as time passes; it is probably almost by our side now. I don't know what will happen after that thing makes contact with us, but I fear it will not be anything good."

"This is also one of the reasons why we are anxious to select a new Supreme of the Mountain and Sea Great World."

The two had complex expressions when mentioning this matter.

They had once used every means they could, but other than being able to perceive that there was indeed something peering at them from the darkness, they had discovered nothing else.

Otherwise, they would not have pinned their hopes on Li Heng.

"There is something peering at you?"

Li Heng frowned, activated his Dao Ancestor-level Dharma Eye, scanned the surroundings, and penetrated all space-time and infinite possibilities, yet he did not perceive any abnormality.

But when he used Source Power to concentrate on his eyes.

Thin mist slowly emerged in the surroundings.

However, one could only see thin mist.

Of course, this could not stop Li Heng. If he could not see the essence clearly, it was at most a lack of Source Power, so he would just add more Source Power!

More Source Power was added to his eyes, allowing him to more thoroughly discern the True Reality of the surroundings, and finally, a pair of dead, silent eyes slowly appeared in Li Heng's line of sight.

The eyes seemed to be a pair of human eyes, with pale and turbid pupils, faintly appearing within this thin mist, staring fixedly at the two, the Mountain Spirit and the Sea Spirit, and were now approaching at a very slow speed.

Li Heng frowned, reinforced himself with Source Power, and relying on his high level of skill, he walked directly in front of these eyes and reached out to grab them, but he grabbed nothing; his hand passed through the pair of eyes.

The two were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

It seemed one could see them but could not interfere.

But for Li Heng, there was no such rule.

He used Source Power again, gathered it in his hands, and very easily grabbed the pair of eyes, holding them firmly in his palm. These eyes did not show any resistance or movement, lying quietly on his palm, as if they were truly just a dead object.

Li Heng wrapped the pair of eyes with Source Power and then showed them to the Mountain Spirit and the Sea Spirit.

"This should be the thing that has been peering at you in the dark."

"Do you know its origin?"

The two looked at the pair of dead, silent eyes before them, were stunned for a moment, and then quickly revealed expressions of horror.

"These eyes are exactly the Dharma Eye of the former Spirit of Mountain and Sea!"

The two said the essence of these eyes in unison.

"But why now? Why have they lost all spirituality, leaving only death, silence, and an indescribable Strangeness that makes one's hair stand on end, filled with Inauspiciousness!"

The Mountain Spirit and the Sea Spirit felt their scalps tingle.

Ever since they were born and possessed intelligence, they had not given up on searching for the missing Spirit of Mountain and Sea, but they had gained nothing. They had even once sought out a Supreme, but there was no news at all.

But looking at it now, had the Dharma Eye on the Spirit of Mountain and Sea been staring at them in the dark for countless years?

The Dharma Eye of the Spirit of Mountain and Sea?

Li Heng frowned, recalled the War Calamity he had hacked to death, and discovered that the War Calamity had indeed been missing something at the time, giving one a feeling of incompleteness.

At the time, he had not cared.

After all, it was a Disaster; any situation could occur.

But looking at it now, was there really a reason for it?

He thought for a while and used Source Power to perform an Appraisal on these eyes, but very quickly, the feedback from the Source Power was that these eyes had been subjected to Pollution, and as for what power had polluted them...

That would require paying more!

As for how much more?

Li Heng felt there was no need to consider it; in any case, they could not afford it.

However, this situation also indirectly conveyed a piece of information.

That was that the Spirit of Mountain and Sea had indeed come into contact with something unspeakable, which should involve the ultimate secret. If he could use these eyes as a foundation to explore the Causality within them, then he could succeed in knowing the truth without using Source Power.

"It would be a pity to destroy these Dharma Eyes. I intend to keep them in my possession to explore the whereabouts of the missing Spirit of Mountain and Sea. What do you two think?"

Li Heng said.

"We leave it entirely to Fellow Daoist's decision!"

The Mountain Spirit and the Sea Spirit had already sensed that the feeling of being watched from the dark had vanished, and they were overjoyed. As long as these eyes could no longer threaten them, anything would do.

"Then I shall shamelessly accept."

Li Heng nodded.

He unleashed his Supernatural Ability, intending to pull the Causal Line from these Dead Silence Eye to see exactly what Causality was entangled within, and where these Causalities led.

But very quickly, he failed.

It was not that there was no Causality within the eyes, but rather that the Causality within was far too chaotic, much like the state of a Disaster and monsters, so chaotic that it could not even be called Causality.

It was just like a ball of tangled yarn.

Even if he tried to use Source Power to comb through it, the progress was extremely slow. Although he could increase the Source Power to speed it up, he calculated the consumption and it was clearly not worth it.

What should be done now?

Li Heng frowned and suddenly looked at the wriggling Black Mark on his wrist. If his guess was correct, this Dead Silence Eye and the matters tainted by this wriggling Black Mark should be of the same nature, both involving monsters and Disaster.

But compared to this Dead Silence Eye, the Causality of this mark was not chaotic; if he could combine the two and use this mark as a decoder for the Causality of the Dead Silence Eye...

Perhaps it would have some miraculous effect?
