Chapter 831: 393 Chapter: The Gaze from Jiuyou_2
He understood that Yu Yuanyou had succeeded in his comprehension, and at this moment, he had also merged with the Tao, comprehending the Illusion Origin.
Before long, Yu Yuanyou opened his eyes, a trace of retrospective fear flashing through them.
After he got up, he flew back to where Lu Yi and the others were.
Yu Xuanyi and a few others went up to greet him.
"Yuanyou, how did it go? Are you alright?"
Yu Yuanyou shook his head with lingering fear and then turned to Lu Yi, saying, "Thanks to Yi’er, otherwise, I might have been devoured by the Heart Demon."
Lu Yi smiled, "Elder Yuanyou, you’re too polite. It was my duty to help."
Then Lu Yi paused and asked, "Elder, how come you encountered a Heart Demon?"
Lu Yi’s question made Yu Xuanyi and the others around equally curious, turning their gaze to Yu Yuanyou.
Practitioners of the Yu Family were not prone to Heart Demons, yet during the comprehension of Origin, two ancestors capable of cultivation to the Immortal Venerate Realm had encountered Heart Demons, which was quite astonishing.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanyou’s expression grew complex, and after a pause, he began, "...Like Elder Yu Cheng before, I saw a scene dominated by Jiuyou Qi, teeming with countless powerful Jiuyou Demons. It seemed they sensed my presence, and all their gazes turned towards me. A few of those looks were terrifyingly formidable; a mere glance was enough to make me lose my bearings and as a result, summon a Heart Demon."
Lu Yi and Yu Xuanyi, among others, listened silently to Yu Yuanyou’s description.
"This... This is the same as what Elder Yu Cheng saw before... Could it truly be Jiuyou affecting Immortal Venerates during their comprehension of the Origin Power?" Yu Xin murmured to herself, looking somewhat dazed.
As someone who had witnessed Elder Yu Cheng’s comprehension of Origin firsthand, he knew all too well what had happened.
What Yu Yuanyou experienced was no different from Elder Yu Cheng’s previous ordeal: both witnessed Jiuyou, and both developed Heart Demons due to the Jiuyou’s gaze.
The expressions of Yu Xianyun and the others were very grave.
"No wonder... after so many years, no new Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors have emerged in the cosmos. Perhaps this is a significant part of the reason," Yu Xuanyi said, frowning deeply.
Without the ability to comprehend the Origin, how could one achieve the status of Immortal King or Immortal Emperor?
"Are the mighty beings within Jiuyou truly that fearsome? Even from another world, they can disrupt Immortal Venerable Level practitioners from comprehending Origin Power?" A practitioner of the Yu Family at the Immortal Monarch level spoke with a pale face, despair evident in his eyes.
Such power was unheard of, unseen.
No one answered, the facts were self-evident.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yi suddenly had an idea, and then he said with a smile, "I have an idea that might prevent the venerable elders from being afflicted by Heart Demons."
Everyone was startled and looked towards Lu Yi.
"What idea?" Yu Ying asked with curiosity.
Narrowing his eyes and with a light chuckle, Lu Yi said, "I previously used the Tao Immortal Array to seal the Jiuyou Channel. Since this breakthrough is also related to Jiuyou, perhaps I can set up a Tao Immortal Array and leverage the Taoist Energy to isolate the gaze from Jiuyou."
During his own comprehension of Origin, Lu Yi had not noticed anything at all; he had initially thought that Elder Yu Cheng was an exception. Now, after learning about Elder Yu Yuanyou’s incident, he realized he was the exception.
After all, since before he even became an immortal, he had been absorbing Taoist Energy and Chaos Qi, completely insulated from Jiuyou and unseen by its gaze.
It was probably for this reason he had not sensed the gaze from Jiuyou during his comprehension of the Origin, without any anomalies.
Considering this, Lu Yi felt a mix of strangeness and relief. It was fortunate he had Taoist Energy; otherwise, he might have been at risk of developing a Heart Demon.
Then the situation would have been quite troublesome.
Now that the cause was known, there was a way to handle it: use the Taoist Energy to block the gaze from Jiuyou, and then everything would become simpler.
Upon hearing Lu Yi’s words, the eyes of Yu Xuanyi and others became increasingly bright.
"That’s right! Yi’er’s Tao Immortal Array can seal the Jiuyou Channel, let alone a gaze from Jiuyou. If those Jiuyou beings were truly so powerful, they would have already broken the Tao Immortal Array, the Jiuyou Channel, and come to our world!" Yu Xuanyi said, his eyes gleaming as he clenched his fists and smiled.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief, even the usually stoic Yu Yunqing cracked a smile.
As for Yu Xin and the others, they too wore beaming smiles. Although they were not currently comprehending Origin, they would hopefully reach that step in the future. With a method in place, their own journeys would be much safer.
Determined to act, Lu Yi began setting up a Tao Immortal Array on the surface of the planet.
Since it was only for the comprehension of Origin, the array Lu Yi set up was small. In just a short time, he finished setting up the Tao Immortal Array.
The Tao Immortal Array created from the connected and condensed Mysterious Tao Patterns appeared on the barren ground, with Taoist Energy surging through, enveloping everything within it.
Lu Yi said with a light laugh, "Who wants to give it a try?"
Yu Xuanyi and the others exchanged glances, and then Yu Ying, eager to try, said with a laughter, "Well, let me give it a shot then!"
Lu Yi nodded and then opened up the Tao Immortal Array to let Yu Ying enter.
Yu Ying sat cross-legged, and just like Yu Yuanyou had before, she began to comprehend the Origin.
The process went smoothly, and soon, the Law Patterns around Yu Ying became intricate and mysterious, transforming into the Origin Tao Patterns. Simultaneously, the phantom illusions of the world around her started solidifying into reality.
