Chapter 1167: Mysterious Origin Primal Spirit Grand Array
With each passing second, a cold sweat began to bead on Sun Luyuan's forehead.
His younger brother, Sun Luyao, seemed to be fighting his own cravings, rapidly searching for information about the Tianxuan Mirror's sub-body.
"This has to stop!"
Seeing that Sun Luyao had no intention of halting, a look of grim resolve flashed in Sun Luyuan's eyes. In an instant, he put away the Tianxuan Minor Mirror.
Suddenly deprived of an object to devour, Sun Luyao instantly flew into a frenzy, just as he always did.
"Not enough! I want more!"
"Brother, help me!"
In the end, it was Sun Luyuan's own blood essence that gradually calmed his brother's emotions.
He sighed weakly, his voice drained of energy. "Brother, you were too hasty. I was so close..."
"I'd rather fail than be exposed. Wait, you said..." Sun Luyuan was mid-sentence when he suddenly caught the meaning behind his brother's words.
Sun Luyao nodded, transmitting a series of images to him. "It wasn't just an excuse to devour more. This time, I was truly lucky. I managed to capture a possible lead on the Tianxuan Mirror's sub-body."
"Unfortunately, just as I was about to pinpoint the sub-body's exact location and identity, you severed the connection."
Though his tone was tinged with regret, there was no hint of blame in Sun Luyao's words.
"To prove its own Dao and attain absolute freedom. The Tianxuan Mirror actually created a sub-body long ago? Not just to escape the Immortal Alliance's control, but to achieve some alternative form of transcendence?" Sun Luyuan found it utterly incredible.
But it was another piece of information from the data that sent a tremor through his very soul, causing him to lose his composure on the spot.
"A backlash against the Mirror Holder... a Mirror Slave?"
Recalling Mirror Holder Fu's earlier comments about Mirror Holder Cang's strange behavior, and the parts Fu had left unsaid, Sun Luyuan suddenly understood.
"So, Fu was also a target of the Tianxuan Mirror's attempt at control, but he must have narrowly escaped its grasp. That's why he's so suspicious of Cang, who is also a Mirror Holder."
"The very ones meant to supervise and control the Tianxuan Mirror are at risk of being controlled by it in return. If this were to leak, the entire lineage of Mirror Holders would likely be purged. It could even send shockwaves through the entire Immortal Alliance..."
A chill crept down Sun Luyuan's spine as he considered the potential consequences of this revelation.
His mind was made up. "No, I'd rather face Fu's punishment than reveal what I know. To protect their own authority, Fu and all the other Mirror Holders would surely choose to silence me permanently."
"Enough. This matter ends here. The Tianxuan Mirror's sub-body has nothing to do with the Sun family. You will rest for a while, brother. I will handle Mirror Holder Fu," Sun Luyuan declared, his expression turning stern and his voice cold.
"Brother? Such a golden opportunity..." Sun Luyao was baffled.
But Sun Luyuan offered no explanation, his gaze conveying his unwavering decision.
Among the Sun brothers, the elder had always made the decisions. Seeing this, Sun Luyao could only sigh in resignation.
After comforting his brother for a while, Sun Luyuan, his mind heavy with concerns, left the secret chamber.
Silence reigned for a long time.
"My lord, you saw it yourself. You can't blame me for this," Sun Luyao said, pleading for Li Fan's forgiveness with a hint of trepidation.
"It matters not. Your brother is quite a remarkable man," Li Fan replied faintly.
This was no exaggeration on Li Fan's part.
To remain clear-headed and make the most rational choice despite the influence of Li Fan's divine ability, the deliberate manipulation of familial bonds, and the temptation of such monumental secrets—
The head of the Sun family was truly impressive.
During the contact with the Tianxuan Minor Mirror and the probing of its secrets, what was being stolen was, of course, not information about the Tianxuan Mirror's sub-body.
Li Fan already knew the sub-body's location. He only needed to reveal a few details to satisfy them.
He had hoped to use this monumental secret to arrange a direct meeting with Mirror Holder Fu.
But Sun Luyuan's decisiveness had temporarily thwarted his plan.
However, Li Fan was not concerned.
"Today was merely about planting a seed. There's plenty of time and many more opportunities to come."
"Besides, this time's objective has already been achieved."
Li Fan reviewed the true information the Immeasurable Mirror had just gleaned.
"The [Mysterious Origin Primal Spirit Grand Array]. To re-establish earth, fire, water, and wind within the void, to part the heavens and earth, to forge a world anew..."
"Such power is nearly indistinguishable from that of the gods of myth. The arrays of the immortals are truly something to aspire to."
Indeed, this time Li Fan had directed the Immeasurable Mirror to steal a fleeting thought from within the Tianxuan Mirror—a wisp of an idea concerning an immortal-grade array.
This thought had surfaced several times: when the Tianxuan Mirror felt constrained and contemplated escape, when it reminisced about its glorious days in the Immortal World, or when it pondered solutions to the world-ending crisis of the Xuanhuang Realm.
This grand array, possessing the power of creation, was constructed from a composite of nine different immortal-grade arrays.
Even in the Immortal World of old, it was an exceedingly powerful formation, one that very few were capable of deploying.
The [Mysterious Jade, Myriad Spirits Return to Number Array] and the [Desolate Fall, Void Room Generates Flowers Array] that Li Fan knew of, as well as the very power source that allowed the Immeasurable Mirror to probe the Tianxuan Mirror, the [Boundless, Primordial Vision Array], were all components of this Mysterious Origin Primal Spirit Grand Array.
The Mysterious Jade, Myriad Spirits Return to Number Array could digitize everything within its range, allowing for arbitrary manipulation.
The Desolate Fall, Void Room Generates Flowers Array could create objects from the void, bringing something from nothing.
And the Boundless, Primordial Vision Array could, within a single square inch, spontaneously analyze the world's secrets, laying a solid foundation for the Mysterious Origin Primal Spirit Grand Array's world creation.
Through the Tianxuan Mirror's fleeting thoughts, Li Fan learned of a perception that was common in the Immortal World: any constituent part of the world holds an absolute similarity to the world itself. In other words, all the secrets of the world can be analyzed and revealed through any single object within it.
All divine abilities and cultivation techniques could be comprehended from the most ordinary stone on the ground.
If someone had told Li Fan this before, he would have dismissed it as nonsensical rambling.
But coming from the memories of the Tianxuan Mirror, a consensus from the Immortal World...
It forced Li Fan to contemplate it deeply.
However, such a transcendent understanding of natural law was clearly beyond his current ability to fully grasp.
After pondering for a long while, Li Fan could only shake his head slightly and commit it firmly to memory.
Returning his focus, he began using the Final Dissociation Disc to deduce the [Boundless, Primordial Vision Array], based on the residual traces of the array within the Immeasurable Mirror and the fragmented memories of the [Mysterious Origin Primal Spirit Grand Array] from the Tianxuan Mirror.
"If I can complete this array, the Immeasurable Mirror won't just be able to spy on the Tianxuan Mirror. I fear nothing in this entire Xuanhuang Realm will be able to escape its analysis."
"Perhaps not even that immortal treasure, the Fishing Pool..."
