Another incident?

Han Yu rarely saw Mo Xiuwen like this, and quickly asked while following him.

"What on earth happened?"

Mo Xiuwen said hastily, without turning his head, "Coconut has run away!"

In Coconut’s room, apart from You Li who looked panicked, it was already empty.

When the two hurried over, You Li looked distressed, his voice choked.

"I really didn’t mean to..."

"She said she wanted to take a nap. I only left after seeing her fall asleep, but as soon as I turned around..."

As soon as I turned around, she was gone. Not only was she gone, but I had searched everywhere nearby and even got a group of people with Mo Xiuwen to look together.

In the end, Coconut seemed to have vanished into thin air. She’s gone!

Roughly, she really secretly left the sea area.

Han Yu sighed deeply, then shook his head slowly, "It’s not your fault. If she was determined to leave, she wouldn’t be stopped unless truly confined."

"Where could she go?"

Mo Xiuwen’s face was somber. With the cultivators from either the Celestial Dao Sect or Yama Hall outside, Coconut, with her newly gained Divine Gaze Realm cultivation, wouldn’t even have a chance to run if caught.

Han Yu shook his head. Precisely because he didn’t know where she was heading, it was difficult to chase after her.

Mo Xiuwen suddenly remembered, hurriedly taking out the Self-Improvement Sect token, speaking hastily.

"There’s also this. I can use this to determine her loca—"

He couldn’t finish his sentence because You Li sorrowfully picked up a token and said chokingly.

"She left it behind."

So, she never intended to let anyone find her.

Mo Xiuwen’s face turned even grimmer, muttering to himself, "That fool, how could she leave the token behind? How would she call for help if she encountered danger."

"I’ll go ask Quan Xiaotong for help to come up with a solution."

Han Yu kept a composed face as he finished speaking, then swiftly left.

Quan Xiaotong watched Han Yu hurriedly return and was about to ask when Han Yu preemptively explained the situation, then asked for his help.

"Can you help me find her?"

Yi Xian is already in trouble. If something happens to Coconut, it would really betray Yi Xian’s desperate pleas before leaving.

Anyway, he felt quite uneasy in his heart.

Quan Xiaotong contemplated for a while, then sighed inexplicably.

If it were the normal circumstances in the Central Continent, the Inspectorate, spread throughout, could easily find someone.

"You know the current situation of the Central Continent. The Inspectorate is no more."

To find her, they’d have to spread out cultivators, and it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.

He could disregard the cost for Han Yu, but risking the lives of many other cultivators for Coconut...

"Consider it as me owing you a favor."

Han Yu knew what Quan Xiaotong was thinking, so he could only keep a composed face and speak once more.

Quan Xiaotong remained silent again. After a long time, he slowly spoke as he gazed at Han Yu.

"One team, I can only send out one team of cultivators to search."

Any more than that was beyond his ability. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but those sects below would certainly not allow their disciples to die on such a matter.

With the Central Continent barely managing its own affairs, how could it be possible to go to such lengths for a minor cultivator?

Sending out a team of cultivators was already on account of Han Yu.

Han Yu also didn’t want to overly trouble the other person. He sighed and slowly walked out, feeling despondent.

"How was it?"

Mo Xiuwen and You Li, having chased to the door, saw Han Yu walking out expressionlessly and quickly stepped forward to ask.

Han Yu shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Only one team of cultivators can be sent to look."

The two fell silent simultaneously, both sighing.

With only one team of cultivators, and not even knowing which direction she went, how to find her?

The hope was slim at best.

Plus, she has been gone for so long, and with her Divine Gaze Realm cultivation, it’s long unknown where she might have fled to.

...

Artificial Dharma Aspect?

Mu Zili was visibly taken aback when he heard this from the old Daoist.

He understood Dharma Aspect, but artificial Dharma Aspect?

Is that possible?

One must know that Dharma Aspect is something cultivators bring forth themselves, and he had seen what Yi Xian was like back then.

For a minor cultivator who barely stepped into the Divine Gaze Realm, no matter how well hidden, their aura wouldn’t lie.

Such a minor cultivator possessing a Dharma Aspect?

"Under ordinary circumstances, naturally it can’t be done."

The old Daoist shook his head, just like Mu Zili thought, a Dharma Aspect is something cultivators of their level bring forth, and it’s absolutely impossible for a minor cultivator in the Divine Gaze Realm to possess.

After a moment of pause, he changed his tone.

"But what if it was implanted into the body?"

The old Daoist’s words greatly surprised Mu Zili! Implant a Dharma Aspect into the body?

Is that possible?

"We can’t."

The old Daoist cast a sideways glance at those grand halls, sneering, "But they can."

"Then how on earth is it done?"

Mu Zili’s expression was already one of immense shock.

This is even more bizarre than Yama Hall’s artificial Divine Technique. At least, artificial Divine Technique has a source, but artificial Dharma Aspect, how can such an ethereal thing be done?

"You’d have to ask them."

The old Daoist shook his head. He knew about the artificial Dharma Aspect because of his long-standing qualifications, but he wasn’t aware of the details.

He couldn’t even understand why they would place an artificial Dharma Aspect in the Central Continent.

"It’s understandable to be puzzled."

Di Liuxin spoke lightly, because Chang Gen was equally puzzled about why this piece was placed in the Central Continent.

It’s just that Di Liuxin didn’t seem interested in enlightening him, instead constantly appraising Golden Cicada as if admiring a piece of art.

"You all may withdraw!"

Di Liuxin signaled with a flicker in his expression, dismissing Chang Gen and the others.

Only Golden Cicada remained before he slowly spoke.

"How does it feel?"

Golden Cicada looked up at him with an enigmatic gaze, seemingly contemplating the other’s question.

Di Liuxin patiently repeated the question, "How does it feel to be a person?"

Golden Cicada pondered without expression and then hesitantly spoke.

"I can’t really say."

He really couldn’t say. His memories were blank. The only thing he knew was that the person before him was the one who created him.

He wasn’t even sure when he started having consciousness. He only knew that he had once continually parasitized one different body after another.

"Why can’t I retain their memories?"

Golden Cicada suddenly felt a questioning emotion, an indescribable feeling, angry or discontent.

The originally calm Di Liuxin’s face suddenly turned cold. In the grand hall, thunder rumbled, as if it were about to collapse.

This scene persisted for a long time before it gradually subsided.

Di Liuxin ultimately calmed his inner displeasure, speaking patiently.

"You can only grow by relying on the nourishment from the heavens and earth of the Central Continent. Those physical bodies are merely tools for you to reside in; their lives are dull and boring, preserving them would only affect you."

Therefore, every few hundred years, he must return to the Central Continent to find new bodies for the Dharma Aspect anew.

This is not an easy feat; the required body must be a cultivator, not to mention it needs to harmonize with the Dharma Aspect to perfectly conceal it.

In thousands of years, some cultivators had lived for hundreds of years, some less than a hundred before dying. Over time, if every memory was retained, the first thing upon awakening for Golden Cicada might be having his consciousness destroyed by the memories.

This is akin to a marvelous work of art; it’s impossible to let it be ruined just like that.

Even if it were to be destroyed, it would be after fulfilling its value.

Yama Hall’s artificial Divine Technique ultimately falls short. Celestial Dao Sect’s artificial Dharma Aspect is what genuinely counts as creating something out of nothing.

Imagine, transforming something that should be an inanimate Dharma Aspect into a "person" with self-awareness; how exquisite that could be!
