119: Heavenly Eye Divine Eye

"Are you referring to the Liu Clan Immortal Family? But the power you displayed when you just broke free... are you saying even you can't deal with them?" You were somewhat shocked.

"Hmph, kid, remember that beyond Immortals are Immortals, and beyond Heaven is Heaven. My current strength is less than one-tenth of what it was, so naturally, I am no match for them." The voice of the candle dragons eye carried unwillingness and weakness.

"Them? But my threat is clearly only the Liu Clan!" you blurted out.

"Hahaha!" The candle dragons eye let out a mocking laugh.

"You possess the Bloodline of the Qin Immortal Clan. Once your Cultivation reaches Soul Transformation, you will be able to initially comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and a portion of your Bloodline memory will Awaken."

"At that time, you will naturally know which powers jointly annihilated the once flourishing Qin Immortal Clan."

It paused, its tone turning cold: "Even if you don't go looking for revenge, as long as they discover that someone from the Qin Clan has achieved a Soul Transformation Breakthrough, they will absolutely not spare you."

You could tell from its words that it seemed to know many ancient secrets.

Combining this with your previous experiences, you already had a guess—the beings "raised" on the Tianhuang Continent must be the descendants of various Immortal Clans exiled by the Liu Clan Immortal Family.

And your own Old Ancestor, Qin Mo, was very likely among the group of Qin Immortal Clan members exiled to the Tianhuang Continent.

"Senior, could you tell me more about the Qin Immortal Clan?" you pressed, seizing the opportunity.

The candle dragons eye seemed lost in memory, its voice becoming distant: "This must start hundreds of thousands of years ago..."

"At that time, the Zixiao Immortal Domain was originally a place where ten thousand races coexisted—the Human Race, the Yao Race, the Demon Race, my Candle Dragon Clan, the Qilin Clan, the Soul Clan, the Gu Clan, the Insect Race, the Elf Race... Although there were frictions, they largely maintained balance and prosperity."

"Later, a hundred thousand years ago, the Outer Domain Heavenly Demons invaded in force, plunging all life into misery. The ten thousand races cast aside their prejudices and united to resist the enemy."

"That great war lasted tens of thousands of years, shattering star rivers and disordering the Laws, before the Outer Domain Heavenly Demons were finally driven out of the Zixiao Immortal Domain."

"However, just as the external threat was eliminated, internal strife arose. The ten thousand races erupted into a brutal civil war over resources, ideologies, and old grievances. Countless powerful clans perished or vanished in the conflict."

"In the end, only the Human Race, the Yao Race, and the Demon Race remained, forming a tripartite balance of power. The Zixiao Immortal Domain was also divided into the Rakshasa Demon Domain and the Haotian Demon Domain."

"Although a tripartite balance was formed, the conflicts between the three races never ceased. It was at this time that an astonishingly talented Prodigy appeared among the Human Race—Venerable Ziyang!"

Mentioning this name, even the candle dragons eye's tone carried a hint of reverence.

"In just a thousand years, he Cultivated to the Mahayana Peak, and relying on the self-created Ziyang Divine Art and the Immortal Slaying Sword Art he unexpectedly obtained, he was hailed as the number one person in the Immortal Domain!"

You felt a shock in your heart—so the Immortal Slaying Sword Art was actually related to Venerable Ziyang!

Then why was the heavenly craft tablet containing the Immortal Slaying Sword Art destroyed?

Your thoughts were interrupted by it:

"Later, Venerable Ziyang founded the Ziyang Palace, widely accepting Disciples regardless of race. He led his forces to slay Yao Emperors and eliminate Demon Venerables, forcing the Yao Race and Demon Race to submit and dare not easily step into Human Race territory again!"

"My grandfather, who was the Clan Chief of the Candle Dragon Clan at the time, was one of the Personal Disciples under True Man Ziyang!"

"Not just my grandfather; the Old Ancestors of your Qin Immortal Clan, the current Flame Emperor, the Old Ancestors of the Liu Clan Immortal Family, and the founders of many major powers in the Immortal Realm today were almost all Disciples of the Ziyang Palace!"

"It's just a pity..." The candle dragons eye's voice sank low.

"Later, for unknown reasons, True Man Ziyang mysteriously disappeared. The Ziyang Palace was left without a leader, and the Disciples refused to submit to one another. Ultimately, it fell apart, and they left to establish their own powers."

"The core Legacies, Immortal Methods, and Divine Abilities of the major powers today can almost all be traced back to the Ziyang Palace!"

"It is a pity that countless Legacies went missing at that time, especially the two supreme Cultivation Techniques, the Ziyang Divine Art and the Immortal Slaying Sword Art, which vanished without a trace."

"I just never expected that you, a mere Golden Core junior, would allow me the fortune of seeing the immortal slaying sword." Its voice trembled slightly.

An alarm bell went off in your heart—surely this candle dragons eye wasn't coveting your Immortal Slaying Sword Art?

It seemed to sense your emotions and said lightly, "Don't worry, I have no interest in your immortal slaying sword."

It paused, then continued with a tone of schadenfreude: "However, other powers that Cultivate the Sword Dao... that might be a different story."

Your anxious heart immediately relaxed slightly. It seemed its Dao was not the Sword Dao—could it be the Dao of Time and Space?

You heard it continue:

"After that, these powers, all originating from the same master, began a long period of overt and covert struggle to compete for legitimacy, resources, and any treasures True Man Ziyang might have left behind, all hoping to seize control of the Legacies of the other Ziyang Palace lineages."

"And I, as the person with the strongest innate Bloodline in the Candle Dragon Clan at that time, was able to perfectly inherit the core Legacy passed down by my grandfather from Ziyang Palace—the Heavenly Eye Divine Pupils—and thus took over the position of Clan Chief."

"Unfortunately, this talent and Legacy brought disaster upon my clan. Coveted by major powers, we were ultimately suppressed by a coalition of over a dozen forces, led by the Flame Emperor, the Liu Clan, and the Qin Clan."

"Because of this, I was suppressed within the Profound Heaven Treasure Mirror of the Qin Immortal Clan. Later, for unknown reasons, the Qin Immortal Clan was jointly annihilated by the Liu Clan and other forces, and I fell into the hands of the Liu Clan Immortal Family."

"The most hateful thing is!" The voice of the candle dragons eye was filled with bitter malice, "To completely control my power, the Liu Clan Immortal Family gouged out my eyes and dismembered my body! This left eye of mine was suppressed in the Tianshu Pavilion, becoming the core of a formation, guarding Tianshu City for them for generations!"

After hearing this long-hidden secret, you were profoundly shaken.

You immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Then how did you know beforehand that I would definitely forge the immortal slaying sword?"

The candle dragons eye remained silent for a moment, then replied: "I cannot clearly foresee the future of others, but I can glimpse fragments of the future that are closely tied to my own Karma."

"During the long years of suppression, I once saw a blurry silhouette—he stood at the Peak of the Immortal Dao, with the bones of Gods and Demons beneath his feet, holding an ancient sword whose Evil Qi pierced the heavens, splitting open the Chaos with a single strike..."

It paused, then continued: "The feeling that silhouette gave me is exactly the same as the feeling you give me."

"Although you are still very weak now, the moment you successfully forged the immortal slaying sword, I confirmed that the future silhouette I saw was you."

"You just said that the Divine Ability you learned from the Ziyang Palace was the Heavenly Eye Divine Pupils?" you pressed, extremely curious about this Divine Ability that could glimpse the future.

"That's right. The Heavenly Eye Divine Pupils is one of the top Legacies of the Ziyang Palace. Cultivating it to Major Achievement allows one to see through all illusions and falsehoods in the world and perceive the Origin of all things. It can also unleash the Heavenly Eye Divine Light, striking directly at the opponent's Divine Soul with immense power."

"Furthermore, it can, to a certain extent, glimpse fragments of the future related to oneself; it is profoundly mysterious."
