Even Subdue Evil couldn’t help exclaiming: "Can the Heavenly Dao actually talk back?!"
An Jing wondered: "You haven’t seen it either? You’ve slain so many Hearts of Heaven and Earth, hasn’t one ever begged for mercy?"
"What a joke." Subdue Evil said decisively: "If I were to destroy a Heart of Heaven and Earth, it would definitely be of its own free will. If a Heart of Heaven and Earth begged for mercy, it would prove it’s no longer a Heart of Heaven and Earth, but tainted by a Heavenly Demon—wait a second?!"
As he said this, Subdue Evil suddenly became alarmed: "Could it be that the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm has been so eroded by the Heavenly Demon? To be this dangerous?!"
An Jing, however, was not surprised, as only about one-twentieth of the Tianyuan Realm was occupied by the Human Clan, the rest was all the territory of the Monsters/Demons.
Although, according to the information he had collected, the Immortal Gods of the Tianyuan Realm had repelled the Heavenly Demon, winning that great calamity of demon expulsion, they hadn’t mentioned what the victory had cost them.
If the Heart of Heaven and Earth of the Embracing the Void Realm was divided into ten parts, it wouldn’t be strange for the Heart of Heaven and Earth of the Tianyuan Realm to have some issues, right?
However, after feeling carefully, Subdue Evil denied: "It’s not demon corruption... But with such sensing, one can feel that the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan Realm is very weak, yet very nimble... It is precisely because of being weak that it is nimble..."
"An Jing, you ask again, see if you can communicate more with It?"
An Jing asked a few more times, but unfortunately, after that, the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan didn’t respond anymore.
Realizing this, Subdue Evil also felt some regret: "Perhaps it is precisely because the Heavenly Dao of these worlds has imperfections, that They were so urgently bestowing ’Enlightenment’ on you. They are in dire need of some powerful forces or entities to repair Themselves, and a genius like you is their most desired ’repairman’!"
"Sounds a bit like a tough job."
An Jing stroked his chin, his expression odd: "But this being the case, might those from the Heavenly Ancestor holding the ’Heart of Heaven and Earth’ in Embracing the Void be chosen by the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao to repair Itself as the ’Heavenly Favored’?"
"Hmm..." Subdue Evil thought for a moment: "I think there is a very high possibility of that."
Getting the affirmation from Subdue Evil, An Jing couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
If it is said that the Inner Array Realm of the Martial Artist is the sample chosen by the Heavenly Dao to correct and repair Itself, then those Sects that acquired the Heart of Heaven and Earth from the beginning could rectify the world...
What kind of modifications have they made to the world?
Is the world under their governance vastly different from a normal world?
At present, An Jing has not felt any noticeable difference.
The characteristics displayed by the Great Chen Dynasty, apart from the Talisman Granting Heavenly Officials, did not have any particularly unique differences... No, perhaps they are already sufficiently different?
"From You’s side, one can know that the Bestowing Talisman Heavenly Official System is likely built upon the Heart of Heaven and Earth held by the Great Chen Dynasty. It’s extremely beneficial to them, to the extent that all the Upper Gate Sects of the entire continent put together are not as powerful as a single Heavenly Ancestor."
An Jing delved into his thoughts: "The other Heavenly Ancestors must also have similar configurations... I’m actually quite curious now!"
The existence of the Martial Artist is supposed to correct the world. The Heavenly Ancestor is an already completely corrected example.
An Jing imagined, if he could witness enough ’different Laws’ created by the Heavenly Ancestors, it might be of great benefit to his Divine Repository Manifesting Holy state and even his future Cultivation.
However, the Heavenly Sea of Embracing the Void Realm is so vast that it is extremely difficult to traverse, making it rare for people from different continents to cross each other.
But, he has the help of the Endless Heavens.
Perhaps, without so much trouble, he can understand these through the Endless Heavens.
Thinking this, An Jing who had finished his period of Enlightenment wanted to get up.
But when he stood up, he found that his whole body was floating with countless fine runes.
The faint blue and light azure runes emerged from the depths of the earth, and then transformed into a series of gears and chains. With a continuous clashing and interlocking sound, they surrounded him, forming a huge Array Plate—As An Jing moved, this stagnant Array Plate was set in motion. Accompanied by the rush of Spiritual Power, like the whale song-like humming, the majestic Spirit Qi surged forth from the Great Formation Array Plate, shooting straight into the sky, unfolding a vast spectacle of the Heavenly Moon!
An Jing had no idea what was going on, and he was somewhat perplexed: "What just happened?"
The answer is simple.
While the Heavenly Dao forcibly infused him with Enlightenment, the powerful essence of Formation Path that descended from the heavens took control over all the Formations in the vicinity, including the fundamental Great Formation of Third Middle School, which is Jingwei Academy, known as "Sky in the Cauldron, Moon in the Pot".
Outside the secret library of Jingwei Academy.
When An Jing began his Enlightenment, everyone in the academy who had ever studied Formations was taken aback for a moment, they all turned their heads, looking around in confusion, but couldn’t find where that sudden impulse and sense of closeness were coming from.
It was as if under the chill of an autumn’s frosty wind, when your hands and feet were cold, the clouds suddenly dispersed, and the warm sunlight shone down upon you out of nowhere.
But soon, no one paid attention to this any longer.
Because a humming sound was coming from deep within the land of the academy.
This time, not only the onlookers who had practiced Formation Path, but all those present—students, teachers, and even the Cultivators in the nearby residential areas and companies—all instinctively looked up at the sky.
There, a colossal cauldron phantom eclipsed the sun, and within it, a moon as bright as jade emitted endless Spiritual Light, enveloping the entire academy with its gaze like that of an eye.
A feeling of drowsiness, wanting to sleep and immerse oneself in the Illusionary Realm world, appeared in everyone’s mind.
"Wait, someone has seized the Great Formation’s authority?!"
In the academy, several Chairmen suddenly awoke, sensing that the Great Formation, which they maintain daily—and many features of which they had added themselves—had suddenly lost control.
They leaped out and came outside, where the immense phantom of ’Sky in the Cauldron, Moon in the Pot’ had fully materialized, casting itself up on one side of Xuanye City.
"Who, who is activating this?"
They couldn’t help but stare at each other in amazement: "Isn’t this the fundamental Great Formation that requires at least eight people at the peak of Foundation Establishment, or a Purple Mansion holder to operate?"
"Who is it? Who’s playing this kind of joke?"
"Mr. Chen? Is it Mr. Chen?"
Among them, a few sharp-eyed Chairmen saw Mr. Chen standing next to Principal He, and they hurried over to ask them what had happened.
But before they could approach and speak, Chairman Chen raised his hand, stopping the others from asking questions.
And only then did those Chairmen realize that not far away, there were four True Persons from Xuanye City floating in mid-air.
They all looked solemnly at the ’mysteriously activated’ Great Formation, at the rising and dissipating Spiritual Clouds and Mist, and amidst the clouds, the elusive Natural Formation.
Being Purple Mansion True Persons, they all could feel that just moments ago, an immense and boundless force had descended from heaven and fallen upon this place.
Limitless and boundless, with no beginning and no end... It was the revelation from the vast expanse of the ’Heavenly Residence’...
"It’s the highest level of Enlightenment that can only be experienced by those with an Immortal Spirit Root..."
Principal He looked at this scene, subconsciously clenching the sword hilt at his waist, not out of fear or hostility, but an instinctive grip on his Seeking Truth Tool.
In almost a reverent manner, he said: "Is this... the Immortal Heaven Revelation?"
Under everyone’s gaze, a Sword Lotus rose from the center of the now activated Great Formation, floating between heaven and earth.
