Chapter 5302: One Eye

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhen Ling rubbed his chin!

It appeared to be a vast starry map, but when Jian Wushuang was within it, this star map seemed more like the entire world.

As he continued watching, Zhen Ling couldn’t help but gasp in shock. The starry sky was real, transcending time and space as if the whole world could be seen on a piece of paper.

Such mastery was unimaginably terrifying!

Whoosh!

The scene suddenly rotated. In the endless cosmic expanse, the universe was like grains of sand, and the river of time and space pulsated, appearing incredibly minuscule.

Just as Zhen Ling was still looking down, suddenly, in the boundless starry sky, a giant eye opened, its enormous gaze fixed on Zhen Lings tiny green eyes.

Zhen Ling was directly frightened out of his wits, frantically trying to swipe away the image, but he couldn’t exit no matter what he did.

Thump!

Zhen Ling was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

What was that?

“Elder… I didn’t mean to disturb… I…

Zhen Ling couldn’t even complete his sentence, quickly falling to his knees.

A single glance caused ripples across the entire cosmic sea. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Heart Sea Hall, such a treasure, the very origin source of the universe, might have collapsed.

When Zhen Ling raised its head again, the single eye slowly closed.

The owner of the eye seemed like a part of the void itself.

Even with Zhen Lings formidable power, its true form remained hidden.

Once the eye had completely vanished, Zhen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Unbeknownst to Jian Wushuang, he found himself breaking into a cold sweat!

Zhen Ling dared not delve further into Jian Wushuangs timeline. Hastily, he retrieved the fragments from the bottle and returned them to the depths of the Demon Sound Mountain.

Having completed this task, Zhen Ling rearranged the Heart Sea Hall, isolating all spaces and times. Then, it immediately sent a message to Xuan One.

Zhen Ling was impatient, and even opened the Heart Sea Hall directly, disregarding the consumption of the universe’s origin source, forcibly teleporting Xuan One over.

Xuan One, still engrossed in his puppet research, looked up to find himself in the Heart Sea Hall. He sensed something amiss.

Seeing Zhen Lings anxious expression, he knew that something significant had occurred.

The two of them held an intense discussion. This conversation was exceptionally secretive; with the protection of the Heart Sea Hall, even entities transcending timelines couldn’t pry into their discussion.

In this manner, Zhen Ling also felt unsafe. Ever since he saw that eye, he constantly felt a chill down his spine, as if he wasn’t even safe within the Heart Sea Hall.

His conversation with Xuan One was tense, especially when it came to Jian Wushuang. He was extra cautious.

The owner of that eye was definitely more powerful than the existence Qishen had encountered when it escaped the timeline.

“Is it true?” Xuan One found it hard to believe.

“Lower your voice and mind your demeanor!” Zhen Ling quickly gestured for Xuan One to be discreet.

But Xuan One, sitting there, remained silent, lost in thought.

The senior who had found him had indeed mentioned that a supremely powerful being was going to emerge in this world.

However, according to the information provided, this being wasn’t Jian Wushuang.

Could it be that there were two supremely powerful beings? Or perhaps the senior had overlooked something? This seemed highly unlikely, considering that the senior was also a being that transcended the timelines.

The senior had predicted a future calamity, during which an extraordinary being would be born.

To forge this being, it would require practitioners from the entire River of Time and Space to be sacrificed.

Xuan One was truly a tortoise; his eyes were very similar to Zhen Lings, both of them having eyes like green beans that constantly rotated.

“Gui She, what are you thinking? What did that senior say back then?” Zhen Ling grew impatient, his temper flaring.

Xuan One suddenly snapped back to reality, slamming the chessboard heavily.

“l seem to understand now. That senior must have foreseen this day when he first came to this world. He used my name to create avatars in every domain of this universe, nurturing many strong individuals. This can be verified by checking the timelines of those Grand Yan Immortals. That senior also manipulated causality.”

Zhen Ling furrowed his brows, his voice deepening. “Xuan One…”

A fellow Grand Yan Immortal appeared before him, constantly inspecting timelines. After a while, he shook his head and said, “Only in Jian Wushuangs memories, there’s someone named Xuan One with some issues. The others don’t quite fit. There’s a concubine of a Grand Yan Immortal named Xuan One, but that’s unlikely.”

“But one thing puzzles me: this being can escape the timelines and conceal their past. Why am I able to see it?” Zhen Ling voiced his doubts.

“Perhaps he anticipated it?”

Their conversation came to an abrupt halt.

If that was the case, Zhen Ling had to consider whether he should get rid of Jian Wushuang. He could be a menace, dragging along the river of time when he ascended in the future.

However, the eye in the starry sky made Zhen Ling hesitate.

He deeply regretted delving into Jian Wushuangs timelines. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t be worrying so much now, and Jian Wushuang might have perished directly, sparing him the anxiety.

“l don’t think the two are closely related. The being you mentioned seems quite different from the senior I met. Jian Wushuang is probably best left alone. We should focus on finding the one we’re looking for. They might not have entered the Qishen Temple. We should expedite the relocation plan. As for where to go, choose a powerful river of time with some buffer space.” Xuan One spoke cautiously. Zhen Ling nodded along, then gave Xuan One a meaningful look.

After Xuan One left, Zhen Ling stood beside a pillar in the Heart Sea Hall, his gaze profound. Clearly, he was contemplating Xuan One’s words.

Was this river of time easy to destroy?

Indeed.

This river of time was too weak. The Universe Masters were just legends, and any extraordinary figure could potentially overturn everything.

However, in some powerful rivers of time where eternal forces resided, the situation might be different.

If that being truly was in the Qishen Temple, Zhen Ling would be willing to witness that scene.

In any case, they were strong individuals who emerged from the Qishen lineage. The Qishen lineage could become great once again.

“Jian Wushuang!’

“It probably isn’t him!”

Although all the signs pointed to Jian Wushuang, he had a premonition that it wasn’t him but someone else.

In one vision, he saw that Grand Yan Immortal. Despite hiding deeply, many cultivators encountered benefactors, powerful masters, or mysterious masters.

However, this Grand Yan Immortal met several formidable masters, and behind these masters were figures, one of whom had no timeline or had some fabricated timelines.

That figure was the senior Xuan One mentioned.

Jian Wushuang was merely a smokescreen.

As for that eye, he didn’t dare explore further. Jian Wushuangs journey was still far from its end.

A glance pierced through the Original Universe, focusing on a Nine

Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal on the Original PLanet Alpha One. This Grand Yan Immortal, disguised as a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal, cultivated inside a time chamber. He was recognized as the strongest being on the Original Planet Alpha One, possessing Emperor-level strength.

This person swept through the entire Original Planet, effortlessly defeating numerous Devouring Demons during the second-stage trial. Zhen Ling noted down this person, formulating a plan in his mind..
