"The Way of Struggle..." the Emperor mused, sensing the surging energy within Tianyang’s remains.
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"The way can lead to immortal ascension, but it does not resonate with me."
There wasn’t much regret in the Emperor’s voice, as he stepped out of the state of being one with Tianyang’s armor.
He returned the remains and cautioned Tianyang, "Since the ’Way of Struggle’ is void, this resonant bone relic is indeed a rare treasure for you. Reflect on it more; although the Immortal Way is currently concealed, the existence of resonance signifies the Way is still present."
"Given time, you may indeed reach the Realm of True Immortality with its help!"
The eyes of the One Absolute Daoist from Calamity Transcendence Sect glued to Tianyang as he stored the remains, then he stuffed his elongated eyeballs back into the passage.
"What a pity, what a pity..." the One Absolute Daoist sighed.
"What profound insights does the Sect Leader of Calamity Transcendence Sect have?" Such affectation from One Absolute drew Tianyang’s dissatisfaction.
The One Absolute Daoist shook his head and chuckled, "It’s just a shame that Calamity Transcendence Sect missed an opportunity. As they say, when one attains the Way, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; if the great Emperor himself, with a pondering mind, might one day grasp the Great Tao, we too could benefit from it."
"As for you..."
"Maybe there will be such a day. But our Calamity Transcendence Sect will probably not live to see it."
His words made no attempt to conceal a pessimistic attitude towards Tianyang’s potential for immortal ascension.
However, this time Tianyang was not provoked by Calamity Transcendence Sect’s challenge and only sensed the strands of unyielding thoughts on his own remains, as if he had returned to the days when he still occupied a human body.
But perhaps because he had now become a puppet, despite trying for a long time, Tianyang still could not arouse the passion in his heart.
"The life of Tianyang, no less than anyone else," these eight words, when shouted, now felt somewhat different from before.
The Grand Hall of the Sage Emperor fell into silence for a moment.
But it didn’t take long for the commotion from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals below to catch their attention.
Flashes of light appeared, and a group of solemn black-clothed cultivators appeared at the Moonlight Boundary in Tianquan Province.
They first gave a slight bow to the Mirror Handler above, then with solemn faces, they prepared their magic and techniques for the still-unbroken Bright Moon Starlight Array.
It seemed as if they were about to launch a full-scale assault on the array.
Various magic techniques were indeed deployed, but their corresponding actions seemed as though they were frozen in time, suspending in midair.
Purple long spears like lightning, twisted spatial rifts, and endless yellow Talisman Records...
All were activated and then converged into one spot.
All waiting for a tear in the Bright Moon Starlight Array to burst forth in unison.
The black-clothed cultivators of the Immortal Alliance took turns, transforming their inner strength into techniques, gathering them up.
Hours passed and the cultivators changed shifts over and over.
The techniques amassed at the array’s boundary reached an almost breathtaking level.
Even the Emperor’s face showed a trace of solemnity.
Without a doubt, if this suspended ball of gathered light were to explode on the surface of the Xuanhuang World, it would easily turn several provinces into ruins.
"I’ll go," Tianyang offered to take on this hidden threat, but was stopped by Li Ping.
"Wait a bit longer, I have my own way to deal with it," Li Ping said gravely.
Tianyang nodded slightly, not insisting on taking action.
Another half day passed, and the combined force of a thousand full-power strikes had been infused.
The small ball of light gathered was even more dazzling than the moon in the sky.
Even the Mirror Handler seemed to harbor some apprehension.
A small bronze mirror emerged from the mark on his forehead, protecting himself as well as the Nine Disintegration Discs and other secondary body projections within its coverage.
The Disintegration Discs churned, their light and shadow rapidly changing, finally eliciting a response.
Threads of colorful lines occasionally flew out towards Lu Qixian not far away.
When Lu Qixian contemplated the content of these lines, she trembled slightly, showing an enraptured expression.
Then, she conveyed her understanding to the Array Masters present, eliciting bursts of amazed exclamations.
But when they looked at the Bright Moon Starlight Array before them, their eyes no longer held their previous despair.
Under Lu Qixian’s guidance, the Array Masters began to decipher the array.
The moonlight, previously solid-like silver fabric, became hazy under the influence of external forces.
The Emperor sensed that this group of Immortal Alliance Array Masters were like little insects, continuously gnawing at the foundation of the Bright Moon Starlight Array.
Granted, Li Ping could make further fine-tuning to the array.
And he was confident that the speed at which the twenty-eight Breaking Formation Discs decoded the array could not keep up with his ability to change the formation. If the Immortal Alliance did not have any special tactics to play, he could use the Array Technique alone to trap the enemy for a lifetime.
But...
That was never his only goal.
Arrangements left in the Outer World informed him that winds had begun to stir in the Star Sea.

The battle between the Star Sea Resurgence Force and the remaining immortal power was about to officially begin.
The Emperor, who had been sitting until now, slowly rose to his feet.
In an instant, his imposing figure was projected upon the Xuanhuang Sky.
As if in coordination, the light from the Sacred Dynasty Daqi, resplendent as the moon, dimmed slightly, giving the stage to the Great Enlightenment Saint Emperor.
The moment Li Ping’s figure appeared, the soldiers battling in the various states of the Immortal Alliance instantly boiled with blood, their fighting spirit soaring.
In unison, they shouted, "Welcome the Emperor!"
Their roar, like a mountainous wave, echoed profoundly and persisted over the lands of Xuanyuan.
