During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

"Those who observe qi (vital energy) are those who observe the fortunes of heaven and earth."

Those who observe qi can discern auspiciousness or inauspiciousness from shapes and colors.

This mind-observation incantation can thoroughly examine the energy flow, reveal the inner demons, and perceive appearances that are not appearances.

It is the pinnacle of my Yin-Yang School's Qi-reading technique, and also a heresy of the Qi-observation technique.

However, because it defies the laws of nature and is devoid of human compassion, it was listed as a forbidden curse a hundred years ago.

Donghuang Taiyi spoke calmly, recounting the origin of this forbidden spell word by word.

Beneath the wide black robe and bronze mask, Donghuang Taiyi's gaze towards Li Ji flashed with a strange light.

What Donghuang Taiyi didn't mention was that this forbidden spell had caused internal strife within the Yin-Yang School a hundred years ago, resulting in the near extinction of the five elders along with their left and right protectors.

Therefore, the previous leader of the Yin-Yang School listed this Mind-Observation Mantra as a forbidden spell.

In fact, although this mind-observation mantra has an extremely high threshold, once mastered, it can detect falsehoods and deceit, making it difficult to be deceived by any appearance.

Ordinary qi observation can only reveal fortune and misfortune, while physiognomy can only observe appearance and complexion.

However, this forbidden spell for observing minds can directly penetrate disguises and scheming.

No matter how high the other party's cultivation level, how deep their scheming, or how perfect their disguise, their hidden desires, conspiracies, betrayals, and obsessions will all be revealed in form.

According to Donghuang Taiyi, the principles of Yin and Yang have no distinction between good and evil, or between light and darkness.

This mantra can directly reach the soul and the heart, discerning truth from its very source. It is a supreme method for discerning falsehoods and breaking through illusions, making it impossible to deceive any phenomenon.

Therefore, among the Yin-Yang School, he is the only one who has mastered this forbidden spell.

Several days earlier, Donghuang Taiyi had used this forbidden spell as the primary method, supplemented by several other aura-observation techniques, to discern Li Ji's special abilities.

After hearing Donghuang Taiyi's evaluation of this technique, everyone in the hall fell silent.

The ultimate form of Qi physiognomy, a heretical form of Qi observation.

Yanfei didn't know whether she had won or lost in terms of their talents.

If she did win, although she comprehended the Yin-Yang School's strongest secret technique, Soul Dragon Soaring, she had never mastered such a forbidden spell.

Even if she lost, she wouldn't accept it, because this forbidden spell couldn't directly enhance a person's strength.

The Moon Goddess, the Great Master of Fate, and the Xiangfei all looked at Li Ji with somewhat strange eyes.

Why would this person comprehend a lost forbidden spell, and such a bizarre one at that?

"Strange" was how the group perceived this forbidden spell.

If what you see is not a form, then what form could it be?

They all wanted to know how they would appear in each other's eyes.

Seeing that the women's eyes were all on him, Li Ji's gaze sharpened, and he looked back at Yue Shen and Yan Fei.

The first to enter the sect was the Moon Goddess. She originally had long, light purple hair, her eyes were covered by a white veil, and she was surrounded by a moon-white aura, exuding a noble and otherworldly temperament.

But in Li Ji's eyes at this moment, the Moon Goddess transformed into a moon rabbit perched on a white jade platform.

The jade rabbit's fur was pure white, smooth and flawless, and its long ears drooped down, yet it dared not step beyond the white jade platform.

Li Ji looked at Yan Fei again. She was dressed in a magnificent embroidered long dress, her face as smooth as jade, her beauty radiant and extraordinary, and her aloofness evident in her expression.

But when Li Ji looked at her again, he saw that she had transformed into a small bird with three legs and a slender, graceful body.

The bird's feathers were like molten gold and flowing fire, surrounded by a crimson golden glow, but it was bound by a jet-black chain.

The chains tightly bound its three legs; though the bird tried to break free and flap its wings, it could only be suppressed by the chains.

Li Ji instantly gained a better understanding of Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

One is the moon rabbit trapped on the white jade platform, and the other is the golden crow locked up; it seems that both have some kind of obsession in their hearts.

When Li Ji's gaze fell upon Yan Fei and Yue Shen, both of them had a vague feeling that he had seen through them.

They both felt a strange sensation, as if he had discovered some secret they held within them.

Both Yanfei and Yueshen are very perceptive, which is why their feelings are even stronger.

After observing the appearances of the people in the main hall, Li Ji asked Donghuang Taiyi for leave.

He mentioned that he planned to return to Luowang the next day.

Donghuang Taiyi is perfectly capable of this.

His face was hidden behind a bronze mask, and Li Ji couldn't tell what expression the other person had.

Li Ji walked out of the main hall, where Donghuang Taiyi, Yanfei, Yueshen, Dasiming, and Xiangfei all silently watched him.

Just as he was about to step out of the palace gate, Li Ji turned his head and looked at the figure standing on the high platform.

Donghuang Taiyi.

This was the only person in his palace whom he had not observed using the Mind-Observing Incantation.

Li Ji's gaze fell on Donghuang Taiyi, whose figure was far taller than ordinary people, standing like a solitary peak, wearing a wide black robe, and whose aura was unfathomable.

He had never been able to detect the other party's aura before, simply because the other party's aura was too vast.

His exploration was like trying to measure a mountain with a ruler; no matter how many times he tried, he could not see its whole picture.

But this time, under Li Ji's observation of the Heart-Observation Forbidden Spell, the opponent's aura revealed its full form for the first time.

Li Ji watched as Donghuang Taiyi's tall figure slowly disappeared from his sight.

Instead, a setting sun radiates endless light and heat.

Li Ji wasn't mistaken; it was the setting sun.

It is not the sun hanging high in the sky, but the blazing sun falling to earth.

A blinding light flowed through the center of the sun, and golden-red flames spread across the sky, beneath which lay an endless sea of ​​fire.

Surrounding the sun was an endless darkness that had been forcibly distorted and compressed to its extreme.

The darkness was as thick as ink; the greater and hotter the sun's light, the deeper and more mysterious the surrounding darkness.

Li Ji didn't look at it much, only glancing at it briefly before walking out of the main hall.

Because in his eyes, Donghuang Taiyi felt just like the real sun, dazzling and unbearable to look at for long.

After Li Ji left, Donghuang Taiyi lowered his eyes and watched his departing figure, pondering to himself:

"I, Taihao Xuanjun of the Yin-Yang School, await the day you return to your rightful place..."

......

On the way back, Li Ji was still thinking about what he had seen and heard.

The images of the five people—Da Siming, Xiangfei, Yueshen, Yanfei, and Donghuang Taiyi—flashed through his mind.

A dark red fireball, twin personalities, a jade rabbit trapped on a jade platform, a golden crow locked up, and a great sun that has fallen to earth.

Of all these, only Donghuang Taiyi's appearance is the most unfathomable; it is even difficult to discern his good or evil.

Despite this, Li Ji still felt the terror of this forbidden spell called the Yin-Yang Annihilation Mind-Observing Incantation.

Now he wanted to know what kind of people the group of assassins from Luo Wang who accompanied him were.

After returning to the courtyard of the guest room, Li Ji immediately gathered the members of Luo Wang together.

He told everyone that they would set off to return to Luowang the next day.

Then, Li Ji looked first at Tian Yi in the queue.

His gaze sharpened, and Tian Yi's image in his eyes instantly changed.

She was originally wearing a black bodysuit, her aura was as cold as frost, and her every move was distant. During this trip, she had almost no interaction with any of the Luo Wang assassins other than Li Ji.

But in Li Ji's eyes at this moment, she became a beautifully sculpted little girl with delicate features.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old. Her delicate face was covered with congealed bloodstains. She did not cry or make a fuss, nor did she show the timidity or ignorance of a child.
