Chang Zai approached the eye, and the distance was indeed closing in. It didn’t take long for him to arrive in front of it.
“The closer I get, the more terrifying it feels. This eye seems as tranquil as an ancient well without ripples, yet it seems to want to devour everything, turning all things into its own collection… How on earth was this thing born?”
Before long, he had been observing the vortex, wanting to crack the final secret of the vortex.
Instead, without figuring out the secret, the vortex turned directly into this terrifying eye, completely changing its appearance.
He even doubted whether what he had discovered before was real.
“No, what I found before must be real. I have tested it with my own Spirit World, but there’s nothing bizarre like this ‘eye’ in it. Is the eye the ultimate secret of the vortex?”
Wang Sheng manipulated Chang Zai’s spiritual body to get even closer; then, gritting his teeth, he released his Divine Thought.
“Whatever the secret is, try to decrypt it with Divine Thought.”
Using the power of the Five Internal Gods, the Divine Thought displayed by Chang Zai had very strong protective power, which was the basis of Wang Sheng’s confidence.
Soon, the Divine Thought touched the giant eye and then started to probe deeper.
“It’s like a dead object, but why does it feel like this thing doesn’t even exist in this world?”
Even the Spirit World, a fantastical thing, is merely unseen and unattainable by ordinary people, but the essence of the Spirit World is still rooted in this world.
After using Divine Thought to research the eye, Wang Sheng realized that the mysterious eye seemed to have no foothold in the real world.
“What a peculiar phenomenon…” He didn’t overly doubt it. In the world of cultivation, anything could happen.
His Divine Thought continued to probe further and encountered no danger.
Soon, he approached the core of the eye and understood some of the essence of the mysterious eye.
“This mysterious eye seems to be collecting… What is that, isn’t that the vortex? This eye… this eye seems to be…”
He had barely grasped a bit of the eye’s power and had wanted to continue his investigation.
But quickly, he saw a small vortex at the very center of the mysterious eye.
This vortex was the core vortex of the Spirit World.
And the mysterious eye seemed to be growing on top of the vortex.
However, as he observed more closely, he discovered that this relationship was not growth but—
“Parasitism!”
“What the hell is this eye, and why does it have a parasitic relationship with the vortex?”
Wang Sheng had never expected such a turn of events with the mysterious eye being parasitic on the vortex.
“Is it the work of the Heavenly Father or the Black Fog Giant Snake?”
This method was too mysterious, and he immediately thought of this possibility.
“But—”
He felt that neither the Heavenly Father nor the Black Fog Giant Snake could accomplish this.
But that left things unexplained.
“Maybe this eye was also born from nature?”
His Divine Thought burst forth again, this time even stronger and more terrifying, wanting to fully see through the essence of the mysterious eye.
But at that moment, the mysterious eye seemed to be stimulated.
Its surface swelled as if engorged, bulging continuously.
Wang Sheng, controlling Chang Zai, immediately felt that something was off.
“Is this mysterious eye about to explode?”
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng mobilized Chang Zai’s power to protect himself and then tried to get away.
Just as he started to move, the mysterious eye exploded.
Buzz—
After the explosion, spiritual ripples spread out, one after another.
Anyone caught in it would be instantly devastated, left insensible, and although it didn’t affect anyone, it didn’t mean that the force’s outburst wasn’t terrifying.
Of course, for Wang Sheng, while the explosion was frightening, he was mostly unharmed thanks to Chang Zai’s protective power.
After a long while, the explosion subsided.
By then, the mysterious eye had disappeared, and there was no abnormal aura left in the Void.
It was as if the recent spiritual explosion had been an illusion.
“Did the mysterious eye self-destruct by coincidence, or was it pre-designed to do so?”
Wang Sheng wasn’t sure.
And something in the sky above had not disappeared.
“With the explosion of the mysterious eye, this vortex has been left behind for the time being. Although it has weakened a lot, its nature has not changed, and it will not be little help to me.”
After the disappearance of the mysterious eye, the vortex seemed to have been completely liberated.
But with both of these parasitic entities, one self-destructing and the other still existing, how could it be possible?
The vortex seemed to be shrinking as well, and its current state was only temporary.
“What is the mysterious eye, and does the vortex contain the answer?”
He didn’t hesitate and approached the vortex, now stripped bare.
After the mysterious eye had vanished, the vortex seemed to have lost its protection, laying everything bare before Wang Sheng.
“The mysterious eye seemed parasitic yet also seemed like a protective shell, covering up some of the secrets of the vortex?”
After making contact with the vortex, much of the previously incomprehensible information was now explained.
He had a deeper understanding of the nature of the vortex.
As he had determined before, the vortex was naturally occurring, not man-made.
“The existence of the mysterious eye seems to have projected some of the essence of the vortex, making it investigable, but more vital and hidden essence was all concealed away. If it weren’t for the destruction of the Spirit World, and the eye being materialized, unless one had frighteningly powerful strength, these underlying messages would forever remain undiscovered.”
