After Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanti emerged from the Ruins Heart, Lu Luanti kept turning back to gaze in the direction of Ruins Heart: "Senior brother, how much do you think we can trust what those two said earlier?"

Chu Xisheng chuckled upon hearing this: "Since you’ve mentioned ’how much we can trust,’ Li’er must be quite doubtful, so what do you think? From a magician’s perspective, is their approach feasible?"

"From the standpoint of magic, there is indeed some feasibility. According to rumors, when the gods created the Heavenly Gaze, to destroy the Human Clan, they endowed this beast with their most potent bloodline power. Hence, the initial Heavenly Gaze could momentarily contend against Emperor Xuanhuang on the battlefield, thereby gaining the chance to infect the Four Ancestor Corpses."

Lu Luanti concentrated in thought: "So theoretically, as long as Yin Yang Inversion is achieved, it is indeed possible to transform the corpse poison and divine curse within the Heavenly Gaze into a poison curse specifically targeting the Divine Race’s bloodline. But—"

Lu Luanti paused, furrowing her brows: "There’s a saying, ’Those not of our race, their hearts must be abnormal.’ They are Ancestor Corpses, having been Ancestor Corpses for hundreds of thousands of years. I don’t know if those two still remember themselves, whether they originated from our Human Clan."

"What you’re saying, Lishan Old Mother and Wood Sword Immortal are also not of the Human Clan, and they’ve lived for many years."

Chu Xisheng shook his head slightly: "However, regarding this matter, I too am half-believing. It’s simply because altering the yin-yang attribute of the Heavenly Gaze requires immense resources, and the manpower and material resources expended would be enormous. For a fledgling Divine Continent Dynasty, it’s practically gambling on national fate, and certainly, All Gods will not stand by idly, they will surely obstruct vigorously."

With a wry laugh, a tinge of sarcasm gleamed in his eyes: "If I could repel All Gods, why would I need the Heavenly Gaze? Unless they can present a method to deceive All Gods. Anyway, let’s observe first."

If he doesn’t show a bit of interest, how can he command the Four Ancestor Corpses and their influence to work for him?

For these four Ancestor Corpses to take such a significant risk to reverse the yin-yang attribute of the Heavenly Gaze, they should be willing to exert some effort from time to time, shouldn’t they?

They certainly can’t just sit back and reap the benefits without some effort.

"As long as you have a grasp of it in mind."

Upon hearing this, Lu Luanti felt a wave of relief, acknowledging that Chu Xisheng remained lucid and hadn’t been swayed by the prospects promised by the Corpse Kings.

She sighed lightly next: "Actually, if the Heavenly Gaze could be converted into an Extreme Yang Body, that would be quite good. I’ve heard that a few Supreme Elders mentioned that the Human Clan might face a great calamity in two years, which will be a hundred times more terrifying than the Nine-Nine Divine Tribulation of previous generations.

The Heaven Pillar supporting our Human Clan is about to collapse, and the Divine Continent could become a plaything in the hands of All Gods. If at this time, we could wield a yang-characteristic Heavenly Gaze, we might be able to turn the tide."

Lu Luanti was previously only a Holy Inheritor Disciple of the Formless Divine Sect, thus unaware of the impending demonization of Demon God Zangtian.

Nonetheless, she was slated by the Elder Council as a core future pillar, and the Supreme Elders still, in a somewhat vague manner, revealed some inside information to her.

Chu Xisheng’s eyes flickered as he recalled the earlier confidential discussion with Wood Sword Immortal.

He remembered when he asked, "Sword Immortal, do you know of any matter in the world where the fusion of extreme yin and yang power is absolutely necessary?" and Wood Sword Immortal’s reaction.

At that time, Wood Sword Immortal, with an initially rather wooden expression, displayed surprise, relief, and delight, much like Lishan Old Mother.

He was using various materials provided by Chu Xisheng, assisting in enhancing Chu Xisheng’s ’Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword.’

Wood Sword Immortal momentarily lost control of his divine power, nearly crushing all nine of his divided souls.

But at that time, his response echoed Lishan Old Mother’s—unanswerable, not to be revealed, please do not inquire further.

"Luanyi, you’ve mistaken something."

After recollecting his thoughts, Chu Xisheng shook his head again: "The Heavenly Gaze, even if it completes the Yin Yang conversion, only targets most of the Divine Race. It does not include Yin God Yue Xi, Yang God Tai Hao, nor some Ancestor Gods who did not participate or who have fallen."

Upon hearing this, Lu Luanti raised her eyebrows, falling into deep thought.

The next instant, she saw Chu Xisheng placing his hand on the sword, smiling meaningfully: "But! I’m still very interested. You’re right, being able to obtain such a divine weapon is indeed greatly beneficial for the Human Clan, provided the cost is within my bearable limits."

He then steered the Bathing Sun Divine Ship, transforming into golden light as it zoomed out of Returning Ruins, into the nine-layered cloud sky, darting directly toward East State.

Before heading to the Iron Banner Gang’s Headquarters, Chu Xisheng first made a trip to Ji Yang’s Tomb.

The two locations were already nearby, with Ji Yang’s Tomb situated in the northern Taishan County, merely about fifteen hundred miles away.

Chu Xisheng’s visit to Ji Yang served a dual purpose: to return the Poison Pearls seized from Buzhou Mountain; and his supply of snacks for increasing yang qi was insufficient, so he intended to obtain some reserve from Ji Yang; thirdly, to discuss Ji Yang’s mother, Drought, along with her half-brother, Zhe Dragon.

When Ji Yang received the Poison Pearls, she was very pleased, and when it came to tentacles, she was very generous. With a slash of the sword, a ’crack’ resounded as over two hundred tentacles, over ten yards long, were tossed before Chu Xisheng.

Discussing Drought, Ji Yang displayed a complex expression; she was helpless, sorrowful, affectionate, while bearing a hint of reservation.

However, Ji Yang was evidently unwilling to talk much, leading to a somewhat awkward atmosphere in their conversation.

Discussing Zhe Dragon, Ji Yang was lively and spirited. However, she spoke with a tinge of grievance, lamenting that Zhe Dragon hadn’t visited her for nearly twenty years.
