Chapter 458: Heaven and Earth Divine Eye

After seventy-seven days, Fang Lie finally completed refining his Heavenly Eye. It connected with his Earth Eye, forming a new Eye Technique—the Twin Eyes of Heaven and Earth!

The golden Earth Eye radiated golden light. With Fang Lie’s current divine sense strength, nothing within three thousand miles on the ground could escape its detection.

The silver Heavenly Eye emitted silver radiance. While also relying on divine sense to determine its range, its observation method mimicked the Void Beast’s skyward perspective, granting an immense scope of at least ten thousand miles.

Large-scale landscapes like river courses and mountain ranges fell under Fang Lie’s surveillance.

The Earth Eye specialized in minute details, clearly perceiving even a single blade of grass or ant. The Heavenly Eye focused on macro-level observations, tracking broader patterns and excelling at locating prey.

Individually, each eye proved remarkable yet unexceptional. But when combined into the Heaven and Earth Divine Eye, their strengths merged and amplified, evolving formidable new capabilities.

Fang Lie’s Heaven and Earth Divine Eye now covered ten thousand miles, perceiving both sky and earth with equal clarity—from microscopic details to sweeping landscapes. The aerial perspective eliminated blind spots, rendering concepts like "behind" meaningless as every angle fell within his vision.

Even areas beneath his feet or above his head—normally invisible to others—became fully observable. Ambushing Fang Lie grew nearly impossible.

Additionally, the Divine Eye gained illusion-piercing properties, ignoring Fog, dispelling Illusions, and maintaining clarity regardless of blinding light or darkness.

This marked a tremendous upgrade. Previous Earth Eye weaknesses—Fog obscuration, Illusion deception, or light-based blinding—no longer affected him, drastically reducing vulnerability to sneak attacks.

Crucially, this Heavenly Eye was the unique Dao Pattern Heavenly Eye. As old bird had stated, it granted Fang Lie the Void Beast’s signature ability—the Void Eye.

The Void Eye penetrated void and Subspace, exposing hidden forbidden arts, traps, and even Small Thousand Worlds. Thus, the Heaven and Earth Divine Eye boasted three core functions: full-perception vision, illusion negation, and void penetration.

Though lacking offensive or defensive power, these combined abilities made it peerless among support-type divine skills.

With this power, Fang Lie gained inherent advantages in pursuit or retreat. When infiltrating enemy Formations, he could bypass their strongest defenses—void restrictions.

Even Semi-Immortals struggled to detect void-hidden forbidden arts, yet Fang Lie perceived them as plainly as objects before him. This allowed him to slip through protective arrays of major sects.

However, sect defenses extended beyond Formations. Patrol disciples, demon beasts, and Mechanical Traps posed equal threats.

Seemingly harmless Bamboo Forests might conceal toxic plants, while ordinary-looking ground could hide Sword Energy traps. The Divine Eye alone couldn’t ensure infiltration—patrols might spot him from afar, or he might trigger hidden dangers.

Thus, old bird reforged Fang Lie’s concealment robe into a new precious robe. The original divine sense-blocking properties now combined with invisibility and Void Escape capabilities.

Invisibility came from special Formations rendering the wearer transparent. While most Cultivators relied on divine sense over sight—making pure invisibility useless—paired with the robe’s divine sense concealment, it became perfect stealth.

The Void Escape ability, crafted using precious star gold, served to evade traps. Clever sect builders often placed Mechanical Traps in void restriction gaps. Void Escape became Fang Lie’s countermeasure against such schemes.

With this invisibility robe and the Heaven and Earth Divine Eye, Fang Lie’s chances of successfully infiltrating were already high. To ensure everything went smoothly, the old bird prepared additional items for him.

These included spirit pills for detoxification, medicines to repel poisonous insects, and medicinal powder to mask his scent, preventing detection by keen-nosed patrol beasts.

The old bird even went all out, retrieving a Prayer Divine Symbol from the Mo Sect’s Secret Vault for Fang Lie. This treasure, left behind by an ancient divine sect, had been lost for tens of thousands of years.

Its sole purpose was to provide guidance upon activation, helping its user fulfill their wish. It was the ultimate tool for finding a needle in a vast ocean.

Take Fang Lie’s current mission, for example. He aimed to locate the natural Star Gold element core hidden somewhere in East Kunlun. But East Kunlun spanned hundreds of thousands of miles—how could one man possibly find such a tiny object? It truly was like searching for a needle in an endless sea.

With the Prayer Divine Symbol, the task became manageable. At least it would point him in the right direction. Whether he actually succeeded would depend on fate.

Once fully prepared, Fang Lie emerged from seclusion brimming with confidence. He was promptly escorted away by Mo Qianxun.

There remained just over a month before the Righteous Sects Conference in East Kunlun—roughly matching their travel time.

As the Mo Sect Leader, Mo Qianxun couldn’t possibly travel in anything less than a grand Eighth-Rank High-Grade large treasure weapon—the Glorious Heavenly Palace.

This Heavenly Palace spanned thirty square miles, resembling a small city complete with cloud-piercing palaces, endless courtyards, gardens with flowing streams, and auspicious Immortal Cranes alongside docile demon beasts. The entire scene resembled a celestial paradise.

But appearances deceived. Hidden dangers lurked everywhere within—sentries at every turn, golden-armored warriors stationed every few paces, patrols marching through corridors, and even Fifth-Rank demon hounds. Such defenses made infiltration impossible for ordinary intruders.

These security measures merely scratched the surface. The Glorious Heavenly Palace’s true strength lay in its offensive capabilities. Every structure—pavilions, towers, even decorative pagodas—concealed devastating weapons capable of unleashing forbidden spells rivaling a Semi-Immortal’s full-powered strike.

This floating fortress alone could withstand attacks from two or three Semi-Immortal-level beings. It represented the Mo Sect’s millennia-old heritage—the Sect Leader’s personal treasure ship and one of their mightiest large treasure weapons.

Fang Lie felt utterly provincial when Mo Qianxun brought him aboard. Comparing this marvel to his own Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship filled him with bitter inadequacy.

He’d once considered his warship top-tier. Now he realized the difference between them was like heaven and earth. The Glorious Heavenly Palace could likely obliterate his vessel dozens of times over without breaking a sweat.

Mo Qianxun treated his son-in-law decently, assigning him a private pavilion. The interior dazzled with jade floors, golden walls, and every furnishing crafted from Spiritual Energy-infused materials. Such opulence defied belief.

What truly intrigued Fang Lie were the palace’s inhabitants. Most were Law Enforcement Heavenly Soldier puppets, but hundreds of Sixth- and Seventh-Rank dog demons also roamed the premises as guards—an entirely separate security system.

Confused about why both puppets and dog demons were necessary, Fang Lie consulted the old bird. The answer surprised him: "Those dog demons are Mo Qianxun’s Dao soldiers!"

Among the Four Great Outer Paths of cultivation—insects, beasts, banners, and soldiers—Fang Lie already possessed the Fire Spirit Gu (insects) and the Enlightened Wonderful Bodhi Tree (beasts). Though lacking banners and traditional soldiers, he’d already chosen the Green Fox Clan as his future Dao soldiers.

Originally clueless about Dao soldiers, Fang Lie had planned to research them later. After witnessing Mo Qianxun’s forces, he resolved to seek guidance at the first opportunity.

That chance came swiftly. Shortly after departure, Mo Qianxun summoned Fang Lie to a banquet.

The sight left Fang Lie stunned. A grand hall spanning hundreds of feet contained two thirty-foot-long tables laden with hundreds of dishes. Nearly a hundred colorfully dressed attendants stood ready to serve—all for just two guests: Mo Qianxun and himself. The sheer extravagance overwhelmed him.
