Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 166 - 148: Shocking Turn of Events! (Part 2)

From this moment on, he could freely manipulate the Soul Thought Aura inside without triggering the Monitoring Magic Ban, having the same authority as the Main Bead!

"Fairy Yuan Meng's Daoist Techniques truly have incredible effects."

Zhang Yao exclaimed, then continued:

"Please wait a moment, Association Leader, I'm testing the remote sensing Magic Ban inside... Done!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yao suddenly cast a Spell, infusing it with Magical Power, and the Soul Thought Bead immediately manifested a light screen.

On the screen, a red light point was particularly striking, and beside it was a trapezoidal gauge with a faint golden glow.

"Association Leader, we really guessed correctly!"

Zhang Yao's expression slightly changed, and he said:

"Yu Wen Tai indeed extracted quite a lot of Soul Thought Aura stored within the Main Bead in recent days."

With his words, the golden light in the trapezoidal gauge beside him also undulated, showing the fluctuations of Soul Thought Aura within the Main Bead.

Lord Haihe heard this and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, pondering for a moment before saying:

"Is there any other, more direct evidence?"

"Let me find it..."

Zhang Yao responded, repeatedly investigating the Soul Thought Bead with Divine Thought, then his spirit lifted:

"Found it!"

"Inside this Soul Thought Bead, there's also an array for real-time location, seemingly to prevent theft or accidental loss."

"However, after cracking the Magic Ban, it can be used to reverse monitor the movement track of the Main Bead..."

As he said this, the light screen in mid-air also changed with the flow of Magical Power.

The red light point suddenly began to move, walking almost in a straight line, lingered in one place for a while, and then returned. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"This..."

Lord Haihe stared at the trajectory of the red light point on the screen, suddenly slapped his palm and shouted:

"Yes, this is it!"

He swirled his sleeve, similarly evolving the light screen with Magical Power, saying resonantly:

"Look, this is the map of the twenty-four Provinces of Da Li!"

He pointed to the center position of the light screen, his tone carrying a hint of excitement:

"Here is the Celestial Treasure Tower Headquarters, where Yu Wen Tai has stayed for years."

"Judging by his direction of movement, about seven days ago, he secretly went to Yuan Mountain City in Kang Province with the Main Bead."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao and Lord Haihe exchanged a glance, both revealing a slight smile.

This time, they've caught Yu Wen Tai's weak spot.

If handled well, perhaps they could bring Yu Wen Tai down, and then the Du Bu Alliance, without its protector, would be at their mercy.

Lord Haihe could obtain the long-awaited Azure Jade, and Zhang Yao could gain access to part of the Six-sided True Blood, making it a scenario of mutual happiness.

"I'm reporting this immediately!"

Lord Haihe spoke with excited urgency, his voice betraying an irrepressible joy:

"With such direct evidence, Yu Wen Tai can't escape, and once the investigation process formally begins, he's finished!"

"Good."

Zhang Yao nodded, withdrew the light screen, handed the Soul Thought Bead to him, and advised him on the trick to activate the Magic Ban.

Lord Haihe remembered everything and enthusiastically bid farewell, with Fairy Yuan Meng also taking the chance to leave, and Zhang Yao personally escorted them to the door.

After they departed:

"The Celestial Treasure Tower Master, Yu Wen Tai..."

Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze, pondering silently:

"Would the number one Foundation Establishment master of Da Li be toppled so easily?"

...

Qian Province, located within Da Li.

The renowned Celestial Treasure Tower Headquarters is situated in Qian Province, a massive tower covering hundreds of acres and towering through the clouds.

The Escape Lights shuttle like rain, and the turbulent currents of Gang Feng continuously churn the sea of clouds, while thousands of Escape Light colors create a magnificent spectacle.

At the top floor of Celestial Treasure Tower.

"Hm?"

A dignified man in a dark robe suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam flashing in his gaze:

"What happened... someone cracked the Magic Ban of a Sub-Bead?"

He flipped his hand, taking out a cloud-like Treasure Bead, and carefully sensed it.

"Was it those people? No, it doesn't seem like it... a truly exquisite technique, with no signs of violent dismantling."

"Innate Divine Techniques? Possible, but there doesn't seem to be any Golden Core Stage Demon Race within the Da Li Territory..."

"Could it be that someone enlisted another Third-grade Artifact Refiner?"

Yu Wen Tai furrowed his brow and suddenly his expression froze, as if he thought of something.

"Judging by the position, the cracked Sub-Bead should be the one given to the Fangzhou Sea Union?"

"Could it be... they've detected something, leading to this probing move?"

Thinking of this, his gaze became much darker, and he slowly stood up:

"Quite troublesome..."

...

Kang Province, Yuan Mountain City.

Within the main hall of the Du Bu Alliance, the atmosphere was somewhat strange, people hurriedly coming and going, seldom stopping to converse.

A few days have passed:

The abnormality of Du Bu Daoist could no longer be concealed, and several Foundation Establishment masters were unable to do anything, only attempting to block the news, but a brewing storm was gradually spreading.

In the depths of Yuan Mountain City, within a dark chamber.

Several Foundation Establishment masters gathered, engaging in heated discussions about the current situation.

"Alas, I really didn't expect the Alliance Leader to encounter issues at this time."

"Indeed, his Cultivation Technique is flawed, sometimes showing minor illnesses, but never to this severe extent before..."

"On that day at the grand hall, I sensed something was amiss, but I thought it had passed, never expecting it to develop this far."

Those participating in the secret meeting were quite worried.

Most Foundation Establishment masters who thrived in the Du Bu Alliance had some issues; without this robust protector, life would be tough.

Moreover, the problem with Du Bu Daoist was unsolvable, and gathering like this already showed intentions to seek an alternative path.

Meanwhile, in the depths of Yuan Mountain City, inside the bed chamber:

"Hoo... hoo..."

Du Bu Daoist, with disheveled hair, sat before a large Copper Mirror, breathing heavily, staring directly at himself in the mirror.

In the Copper Mirror, his image constantly shifted, becoming elder, young man, woman, child, strong man, monk... seemingly cramming hundreds, thousands of people inside one body.

His body showed no abnormality, yet his eyes seemed devoid of whites, black like an abyss, even slightly rotating.

"If I had known today, I should never have agreed to him back then..."

This regretful thought flashed in his mind, quickly drowned by countless other thoughts.

"I should have died long ago, why am I still living?"

"Too late, far too late!"

"It's a pity, the contents of that book were false, definitely spread deliberately as a trap..."

"Didn't expect, despite being proud of my intelligence all my life, human calculations couldn't overcome divine ones!"

"I can never keep the promise at the edge of the East Sea, who knows if that place still exists..."

Countless thoughts surfaced like from hundreds of individuals, resembling chaotic porridge boiling over.

Du Bu Daoist's original thoughts struggled amidst this chaotic sea, nearly drowning, increasingly powerless.

Nobody knew that this renowned Da Li master, the sole ruler of Kang Province, was walking his last path in this empty hall.

But at this moment, suddenly, Du Bu Daoist's heavy breathing stopped, staring at himself in the mirror, then spoke:

"You've come?"

"Yes, I have."

Another ancient voice came from his mouth, with a hint of regret:

"Such a pity, ultimately lacking a layer, far from perfect, resulting in such flaws."

Du Bu Daoist firmly gazed at his reflection in the Copper Mirror, speaking deliberately:

"You came to kill me?"

The ancient voice chuckled gently, replying slowly:

"It depends on whether you wish to continue living..."
