85: Dao Yan's Evil Eye

On this Xuanling Continent, the Cultivator Realm division is actually split into Mortal Realm and Transcendent Realm.

The Mortal Realm encompasses the nine Realms from Body Tempering to Spirit Venerable!

The Transcendent Realm is further subdivided into: Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sovereign, Half-Saint, Great Saint, Zenith Saint, Dao Entry, Dao Venerable, and Dominator—nine major Realms.

It is said that those in the Dominator Realm can control the Great Dao, transcend it, and achieve an eternal, immortal existence.

When Nangong Yu learned this information, his first thought was to lead his mother and the others to the pinnacle, to become Dominators!

And he had the capital to be confident in this!

Firstly, resources. With the Time-Space Merchant Guild, he could be said to possess endless resources.

Secondly, he now possessed the Grand Void Spiritual Root, Divine Shadow Dao Body, and Grand Void Origin Returning Art, giving him the foundation to rise.

Finally, he had the Divine Shadow Legion, which could protect him and his mother as they ascended to the Peak!

Speaking of Divine Shadow Emissaries, he had now summoned the third commander-level Divine Shadow Emissary — Shadow Nether!

All three commander-level Divine Shadow Emissaries were in the Dao Entry Realm!

With such a lineup, one could say he started with a major cheat, enough to protect his growth.

As for the general-level Divine Shadow Emissaries, he now had nine tiangang generals and eighteen disha generals, each at the Peak Spirit Emperor Realm.

Additionally, there were 100 Divine Shadow Squads, meaning 100 Peak Spirit King Realm combatants, and 9900 Peak Spirit Venerable Realm combatants, enough to sweep across the Mortal Realm.

That's right!

It was indeed the Mortal Realm!

According to the records in the Cultivator's General Knowledge Compendium, the Xuanling Continent is divided into the Mortal Realm and the Saint Realm. A boundary separates the two Realms, and one cannot enter the Saint Realm unless they are in the Late-stage Spirit Venerable Realm.

However, once one steps into the Late-stage Spirit Venerable Realm, they will be detected by the Heavenly Dao and forcibly transported to the Saint Realm!

And within the Saint Realm, those who have reached the Late-stage Spirit Venerable Realm cannot enter the Mortal Realm, unless they wish to endure the Heavenly Tribulation of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man!

Of course, if you can shield yourself from the Heavenly Dao, or achieve the supreme Dominator Realm, then that's naturally another matter!

The current Qingyou Empire and other nations are in the Mortal Realm. If Nangong Yu didn't have the Spirit Technique Hidden Abyss to conceal himself, he would have long since entered the Saint Realm.

As for Ying Mei and the others, they are not living beings and should be considered a part of Nangong Yu, undetectable by the Heavenly Dao.

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, no longer overthinking, and a wisp of his consciousness entered the Time-Space Merchant Guild.

Seeing the familiar golden shelf reappear, Nangong Yu couldn't help but mutter, "May the Goddess of Luck bless me, I hope I can get something good this time!"

He thought of the treasures he had opened from the zero-cost gift boxes in the past two years, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Two years ago, he received a Random Wuxia Time-Space Merchant Guild Activation Voucher. After using it, the Time-Space Merchant Guild opened up goods from Jin Lao's Wuxia Time-Space, but unfortunately, it was useless to him!

Last year, he received the Dao-Grade Cultivation Technique, "Dao Yan Heavenly Book," but it was almost useless to him because it was a Cultivation Technique that could only be cultivated by those with the special Dao Yan Spiritual Root!

Although his Grand Void Spiritual Root might also be able to Cultivate it, wouldn't it be better to Cultivate the unknown-grade Grand Void Origin Returning Art, which was more suitable for him?

In other words, he had twice obtained useless items through zero-cost purchases, which was quite frustrating!

Nangong Yu took a deep breath and said, "May the Goddess of Luck bless me, choose the first gift box!"

As his voice fell, the first gift box on the golden shelf instantly appeared before him, and the golden shelf also disappeared.

Nangong Yu didn't hesitate, directly opening the gift box. As starlight flashed, a bead resembling an eyeball appeared before him.

Seeing this bead, Nangong Yu couldn't help but frown. He vaguely felt that this thing was unusual, seeming a bit sinister.

He didn't think much of it and directly waved his hand to place it on the white jade shelf.

His consciousness focused on the bead, and he quickly learned its information.

[Dao Yan Evil Eye: Special Physique, can be fused as a second Physique, gaining control over its power.

Controlling the Dao Yan Evil Eye allows one to peer into the information of all things, investigate past and future events, discern the Karma and destiny of the world, and explore the opportunities of the Great Dao!

The possessor of the Dao Yan Evil Eye will emit an unknowable, undetectable malevolence. The effect is unknown, but this malevolence can be removed by the Dao Yan Evil Eye itself!

Actions taken with the Dao Yan Evil Eye will not incur Karma!

Note: Those who do not perfectly control the Dao Yan Evil Eye will be affected by it. Mild cases will suffer mental influence, severe cases will become a Puppet of the Dao Yan Evil Eye!]

"It seems very powerful!"

Nangong Yu stroked his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he already had the idea of Fusion.

There's malevolence, but it can be removed by the Dao Yan Evil Eye itself, so it's not a big deal; there are side effects, but with the Time-Space Merchant Guild assisting in the Fusion, he can perfectly control the Dao Yan Evil Eye, so there will be no side effects!

Understanding this, Nangong Yu no longer hesitated and immediately chose to fuse.

As his decision was made, the Dao Yan Evil Eye flew out from the white jade shelf and directly merged into his eyes.

"Mm-hmm!"

Nangong Yu let out a muffled groan, his consciousness directly withdrawing from the Time-Space Merchant Guild.

Feeling the sharp pain emanating from his eyes, his face contorted in agony, and he clutched his eyes tightly with both hands.

Drops of black-red blood seeped from his eyes, flowing between his fingers and down his cheeks.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Qing Ling's face changed drastically. She quickly supported Nangong Yu, asking worriedly.

But Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, seemingly indicating that he was fine and not to worry.

However, just as he was about to have Ying Mei conceal the situation here, he heard four whooshing sounds.

"Yuer, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!"

"What on earth is happening? Quickly, summon the imperial physicians!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Four worried voices followed, belonging to Shangguan Yuexi, Ji Ziyu, and his two spirit pets.

Nangong Yu felt helpless. If he had known that fusing this Physique would cause such a change, he should have had Ying Mei conceal the situation here in advance.

But now, it was too late!

"Mother, Yuer hurts!"

Nangong Yu's trembling voice came out, his hands still tightly covering his eyes, his body shaking as he fell into Shangguan Yuexi's embrace.

"Don't be afraid, Yuer, Mother is here. Nothing will happen, nothing will!"

Shangguan Yuexi held Nangong Yu tightly, her delicate body trembling, clearly terrified.

For a moment, she seemed completely flustered!

Ji Ziyu stood by, her face equally tense, but she forced herself to calm down. "Yuexi, quickly, take Yuer to the imperial physicians first, go directly to the Imperial Hospital!"

"Alright... alright!"

Shangguan Yuexi quickly agreed, holding Nangong Yu and riding her Flying Sword straight towards the Imperial Palace, completely disregarding whether one could ride a sword above the Imperial City and Imperial Palace.

Seeing this, Ji Ziyu's expression changed slightly, but she also quickly rode her Flying Sword to catch up, protecting her on both sides.

At the same time, she didn't forget to send a message to Nangong Aotian, telling him to have the imperial physicians wait at the Imperial Hospital.

In a blink of an eye, only Qing Ling and Sparrow Sprite were left standing blankly on the pavilion.

"Let's go find Master first!"

Sparrow Sprite was the first to react, about to spread her wings and follow, but Aunt Shen appeared before the two demons. "Don't cause trouble, just stay put for now!"

She looked towards the Imperial Palace, her expression equally worried.
