Midnight.

Most people have recovered from their initial shock and returned to their previous cultivation state.

In the Sect Leader's hall, Chen Lan opened his eyes, which shone with a strange brilliance.

The Spiritual Qi within him was replenished, allowing him to activate the Celestial Eye once more.

Beside him, the Black Dog noticed too and quickly spoke: "Remember, when you see the lines of cause and effect, don't disturb them. Disturbing them will entangle you in more cause and effect, leading to death."

"Alright, I understand." Chen Lan nodded and flashed above the sect, standing high in the sky.

The Black Dog also came beside him, sitting quietly.

Chen Lan slowly closed his eyes and murmured, "Celestial Eye, open!"

In an instant, a circle of light gathered at his brow, slowly blooming like a bright star in the night sky.

Slowly, a vertical pupil appeared on his brow, lively and vivid, blinking.

"Observe the cause and effect," Chen Lan murmured, opening his eyes wide as countless golden symbols flowed in his pupils, holy and majestic!

With the activation of the Celestial Eye, Chen Lan's body trembled, for he saw a web vast enough to cover the sky!

In front of him were innumerable golden threads, rising orderly from the ground, entwining together, distinct yet intricate, impossible to discern ownership.

"These golden threads, are they all lines of cause and effect?" Chen Lan asked, stunned by the scene before him, the endless lines of cause and effect spread out in front of him.

"Yes, lines of cause and effect." The Black Dog also activated its Celestial Eye and nodded.

This vast web of cause and effect lines belonged to countless people, the principle of cause and effect being that causes inevitably lead to effects, and disturbing them would cause one to bear others' consequences.

Chen Lan surveyed the scene, finding himself nearly surrounded by this vast net, the cause and effect lines of millions in Huaxia.

He could see that everyone had lines of cause and effect, with some having two or three, while others had thousands, possibly determining the fate of tens of thousands.

These lines of cause and effect don't predict the future; there must first be a cause for an effect to arise, thus creating a line of cause and effect.

But soon, he realized he couldn't see his own lines of cause and effect!

"Black Dog, can you see my lines of cause and effect?" Chen Lan turned to ask.

Upon hearing this, the Black Dog remained silent for a long time before shaking its head: "Sorry, my cultivation level is too shallow to see your lines of cause and effect."

"Alright." Chen Lan nodded, not overly concerned, "I'll be off to another place then."

With that, he disappeared.

Leaving the Black Dog frowning at where Chen Lan had stood.

"Unable to manifest cause and effect lines, just how significant is the cause and effect you've encountered?"

...

On the Moon's surface.

Chen Lan arrived here, intending to use the Celestial Eye to see what was sealing Blue Star.

With a light command from within, the Celestial Eye opened, the vertical pupil appearing on his brow, as Chen Lan gazed at Blue Star.

In just an instant, he was astounded by what Blue Star had become.

This blue planet was now surrounded and entwined with countless lines of cause and effect, turning it into a golden sphere, and what surprised him most was,

a golden array encased the planet, the array's symbols abstruse and incomprehensible, even his Array Dao Divine Techniques couldn't decipher, and he didn't even know the array's nature.

But he knew this array was incredibly powerful, so strong that even his full-strength punch might not break through it!

Who could have set this array, seemingly to protect Blue Star?

Moreover, upon the array was a talisman, an exceptionally large talisman, enough to cover half of Blue Star, visible only to him.

The talisman's symbols were equally abstruse and unintelligible, resembling a Ghost Talisman.

Standing there, Chen Lan felt like a novice, understanding nothing and unable to comprehend.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao mentioned a seal being present, but it couldn't detect it; this array and talisman were beyond even its understanding, let alone the Heavenly Dao's.

"Who could it possibly be?" Chen Lan mused.

The seal on Blue Star might have existed for millennia, unbroken until now, uncertain of how much longer it could persist.

Chen Lan observed for a long while but gleaned no insightful understanding.

Even his Spiritual Power produced no ripple upon the array and talisman, he couldn't break open this array.

He sighed, despite having Array Dao Divine Techniques, he was baffled by such an exquisite and complex array.

This array must be at least millennia old, set by someone with profound array mastery, to whom his skills were probably laughable.

Indeed, every field has elites; mastering arrays to such an extreme is terrifying as well.

He needed to read more ancient texts on arrays to find answers.

He had a premonition that if he could decipher this array or learn its nature, all would be revealed!

With this in mind, Chen Lan was filled with enthusiasm, as he loved solving mysteries.

...

The next day.

A new day had begun.

Countless people were still discussing last night's events, curious about what terrifying Divine Technique Xiao Yao the Celestial Venerable had comprehended to cause such a grand phenomenon.

The discussions, particularly prevalent among disciples of the Xiao Yao Sect.

"What Divine Technique do you think the Sect Leader comprehended last night to cause such a terrifying phenomenon, so impressive."

"No idea, I was shocked too, just the phenomenon from one Divine Technique astonished me."

"So envious, when will I comprehend such an incredible Divine Technique?"

"Sadly, there's no chance."

"Who says that? Today is the day for the manifestation of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and mounts. Once they manifest, we can quickly become stronger; comprehending Divine Techniques is only a matter of time."

With this mentioned, everyone remembered the impending manifestation of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and mounts.

Excitement rose again.

However, today was still the day for Huaxia people to register with various sects. Few sects received disciples yesterday, as many attended the disciple recruitment ceremony of the Xiao Yao Sect.

Today marked their beginning, yet affiliate sects of the Xiao Yao Sect were also brimming with applicants.

With millions in Huaxia, it might take half a month to complete all registrations, with possibly half unable to join a sect due to the lack of sects, necessitating the manifestation of new sects.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky, it was Master Qingxuan.

With his hands behind his back, he transmitted his voice to all disciples.

[All disciples heed the order; the Sect Leader commands that today is the time for the manifestation of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all disciples may form teams to collect them]

[If robbed of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, declare your sect, if the other continues to pester, then kill!]

[However, we must not seize from the weak, nor deliberately bully them; we uphold one principle]

[Do not provoke trouble, yet do not fear trouble]
