Hearing Xu Yi's words, Shi Tianming finally felt relieved. That was right; only when these words came from Xu Yi's mouth could Shi Tianming be completely at ease.

"Okay, I believe you, but you must be careful."

"If something happens to you, I will also enter the stone gate. Either way, I will die. It's all the same whether I die sooner or later."

After hearing Shi Tianming say this, Xu Yi ignored him. What he said wasn't really true; there was no logic to it at all.

He didn't believe he would die. In the grand scheme of things, everything had its final destiny; this is cause and effect.

"it is good."

When Xu Yi arrived at the stone gate, he said softly, "We can't keep them waiting so anxiously; we should reassure them."

Xu Yi pushed open the stone door and saw a vast expanse. He couldn't describe the feeling he had. Or rather, the world here had long been refined by the prophecy stele. He had refined this area into his own little world, so that the snake god could not find him at all.

"So that's how it is. No wonder he's so timid and cowardly, hiding in the gutter all day. He's just a coward who's afraid of death." Xu Yigang said sarcastically as soon as he stepped into the stone gate. He saw the stone tablet, which stood there.

I don't know how to describe this scene; it's very eerie, with the stone tablet standing silently in place.

This is no longer an indoor room made of stone. Apart from the stone platform in the middle, the rest of the scene is a starry sky with twinkling stars.

It was a scene of darkness. In this starry sky, Xu Yi saw many stars, and at the same time, he also saw the so-called Seven Stars.

"Huh, there are actually seven stars, that's great." Xu Yi suddenly thought of his Seven Star Technique. He could definitely use it here, because he would have a very obvious sense of the place illuminated by the seven stars. This was something Xu Yi had since he obtained the technique. It was truly a top-tier technique, as he could sense things on his own without even having to cultivate it.

Like a brand on his soul, it was deeply engraved in Xu Yi's body.

It was a very strange behavior, one that even Xu Yi found odd.

Before Xu Yi even stepped into the core area, he heard a majestic voice.

"You've come." The voice was ethereal, as if it came from all directions, leaving Xu Yi somewhat puzzled. Was this the prophecy stone tablet speaking? Well, the voice was quite pleasant, a very strange thought.

He believed that this was what the prophetic stone tablet was saying, but the broken stone tablet in front of him didn't seem to have anything special about it. Xu Yi even felt that the sound wasn't coming from the broken stone tablet at all.

"You are the prophecy stone tablet? How did you know I was destined to come to the Five Poisons Sect?"

Xu Yi asked, since the other party had no intention of attacking him, then they must have something to say to him, or something they wanted him to do.

Xu Yi could only think of these possibilities. Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't.

However, judging from the attitude of the prophecy stele now, it definitely "knows" itself.

"You come from beyond the endless starry sky, and this broken piece of me is all thanks to you."

"I was injured because I suspected your existence; otherwise, I wouldn't have been hiding here, hiding from that giant snake."

The ethereal voice came again, seemingly trying to lure Xu Yi into lowering his guard.

This prophetic stele must be the same.

However, Xu Yi's guess was correct; the prophecy stele was indeed hiding from the giant snake.

But can he really dodge it? Does he really think the giant snake is a pushover?

Although the snake god was just a wild god in Zhang Qiuyu's words, he probably wouldn't even look down on something like the prophecy stele. It was only injured, yet it would have to stay here for several thousand more years.

According to the history of the Five Poisons Sect, this prophetic stele is indeed several thousand years old.

But how could this missing piece have anything to do with him?

If it really has something to do with him, then it must have happened recently, since Xu Yi hadn't even come to this world before.

According to the Record of Ten Thousand Demons, he has arrived at the starting point of everything, which is the time when he first grew up. At this time, Xu Yi is the very first Xu Yi, and it is also the time when he first became a legend.

Xu Yi felt that it was impossible for this prophecy stone tablet to have predicted his arrival so far in advance.

"Hehe, Xu Yi, I know your name. Nothing within my domain can escape my calculations, including your thoughts."

The ethereal voice was very calm, and no emotion could be discerned from it, but now it was Xu Yi's turn to be surprised.

It's quite bizarre that this prophetic stone tablet could actually hear his inner thoughts.

So Xu Yi is about to do something that even the prophecy stone tablet couldn't have predicted.

He suddenly spoke, confidently saying, "Prophecy Stone Tablet? I'll call you that for now. Although I don't know your name, since you also know about the Serpent God, you must be a divine being, or perhaps some powerful cultivator."

"You also need to collect faith in order to grow slowly, then you must be a god."

"You say that within your sphere of influence, you can hear all the voices in someone's heart? Haha, I don't think so."

"So, would you like to hear my thoughts next?"

Xu Yi summoned the system panel, and the blue panel unfolded in front of him. However, the prophecy stone tablet did not notice this at all, and it could not sense what Xu Yi was doing.

In his view, all the secrets of heaven were obscured, hidden, invisible, blurred, and chaotic.

"Hmm? What kind of technique is this? Could it be that the same person from before made a move?"

The prophecy stele had some guesses in his mind. In his opinion, this was not Xu Yi's doing, but the work of the person behind Xu Yi.

When he wanted to take back Shi Chongming's soul, a mysterious force blocked him. The prophecy stone tablet felt that Xu Yi was protected by a very powerful being.

From the moment Xu Yi stepped into the realm, the prophecy stele had already seen through Xu Yi's entire life. However, it could not see or understand anything about what happened a few months before, how he grew up, or how he matured.

He seemed to have inexplicably descended into this realm; was he not from the human world? This was the speculation of the prophecy stele, and also the only reasonable guess.

In Xu Yi's memory, he entered a village. When he arrived at the village, he couldn't see anything clearly, which meant that the powerful being protecting him was there.

A peerless master hiding in a village—that's quite a peculiar hobby.

The prophecy stele cannot be said to be able to completely guess other people's thoughts or the meaning of their various actions. It can only see some things from those in the domain who have a lower cultivation level than it.

He could see through Xu Yi's life story at a glance, unless someone deliberately concealed the secrets of heaven, or Xu Yi had some special destiny. Only in these cases could he see clearly.

And just as he had expected, he had indeed seen clearly what Xu Yi had come up with.

But after he finished reading, he was truly frightened. This was no ordinary person; this was definitely someone with a powerful background. He had indeed predicted that Xu Yi would land here at the beginning, but he also bore a lot of inexplicable consequences. He also couldn't see clearly what happened before Xu Yi landed. It was very strange. Moreover, he saw Xu Yi enter the mine, and after entering the mine, everything became unclear again.

However, it was precisely because of this cause and effect that Xu Yi was able to come here. This was the prophecy of the prophecy stone tablet. Although he did not know what happened in between, he did see this outcome clearly.

"This person is already very strange; I should have known better than to provoke them..."

"Another misstep... Looks like I'll need to rest for a long time again."

The prophecy stele is a naturally occurring spiritual object with a near-infinite lifespan. However, this is not a good sign, as such a long lifespan also brings it endless loneliness and a slow progression in its cultivation level.

His cultivation level wasn't particularly high among naturally occurring spiritual objects, and the prophecy stone tablet hadn't been around for very long. Although both were naturally occurring spiritual objects, there were still differences between them.

It was born in the primordial era, but it spends most of its time in slumber. In its world, slumber occupies the vast majority of its time, because in each era there are many cultivators who want to obtain its innate spiritual essence to prove their Dao. These innate spiritual beings are gifts bestowed upon these beings by the Heavenly Dao. As long as one seizes the innate spiritual essence from them, one can better align with the Heavenly Dao, thereby proving one's Dao and comprehending more of the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

This is the experience that all humankind has summarized over so many eras. Therefore, most naturally born spiritual creatures are on the road being hunted by other races, and thus these naturally born spiritual creatures are very well hidden.

They were all afraid of being caught. Once caught and their innate spiritual essence was taken away, they would be the only ones to die.

However, later on, some naturally born spiritual beings attained enlightenment and ruled for an era. This led to the emergence of naturally born alien races. They are the race of naturally born spiritual beings. No matter what kind of naturally born spiritual beings they are, they will all be considered to belong to this race. They have an innate instinct to approach the Dao.

They have a deep affinity for the Great Dao. For example, the prophecy stele now has innate spiritual essence that represents the prophecy of the future.

If one can kill the prophecy stone tablet and refine its innate spiritual essence using a special technique, then the person who absorbs the innate spiritual essence will possess new innate supernatural abilities, thus replacing the position of the naturally born spiritual creature.

This allows for a better path to enlightenment. Humans are inherently more compatible with the Great Dao than other beings, and with the addition of innate spiritual essence, this is finally the best way to comprehend the Great Dao.

Transforming into human form was something the prophetic stone tablet had considered, but the risk was too great. As naturally born spiritual beings, the difficulty of undergoing tribulation was immense, something that ordinary demon beasts could not achieve.

If it were an ordinary demon beast, it would indeed be easy to succeed, but he is a naturally spiritual creature, which inherently represents a greater difficulty. As for whether he has successfully transformed into human form, there are some, but very few. However, such transformation can be concealed from cultivators of lower cultivation levels, but those of slightly higher cultivation levels or similar strength can detect it.

Humans have their own methods of discernment, something even naturally gifted beings like themselves are unaware of. These are matters within the inner workings of the powerful human race.

So this very risky thing was overlooked by the prophecy stele. That won't do. His strength wasn't very great to begin with, so his development will become even slower and more cunning. He did it on purpose.

He dared not make any big moves, predicting that the stone tablet itself could avert some risks—this was his ability, and also the source of all the trouble.

He doesn't usually use it lightly, but this time, it wasn't something he used voluntarily; the skill was triggered passively, which surprised him. However, when this prophecy came out, he was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was this? People from a distant star system were about to descend.

This is also why he discovered Xu Yi.

However, he did not intend to tell Xu Yi any of this. As a naturally born spiritual being, he did not have much affection for humans. In his view, enslaving some humans was acceptable, not impossible. In his opinion, these humans were no different from some pigs and dogs.

They are all things that can run, jump, and leap; they can think and have feelings—this is all perfectly normal.

However, Xu Yi is a human, and he would never approve of the things he did.

But so what? He had long since become unafraid of the stone tablet. Although he was seriously injured, he was not someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could easily defeat.

If the person behind Xu Yi were to try to harm him, then he would have no choice but to fight to the death. He did not believe that the person behind Xu Yi was powerful enough to ignore his existence. He was a being from the ancient times and had lived for many eras. He possessed many forbidden techniques. In every era of the human race, many people survived, and at the end of each era, a Dao-proving person rose to prominence.

Although the human race is a top-tier race, there are also various scattered clans and families among them.

This is something that these naturally born spiritual beings cannot understand. From their level of existence, all naturally born spiritual beings are the same. They have no origin, no destination, and their cultivation progresses slowly, nothing more.

The prophecy stele once learned about the human race. Among the human race, there is also a certain emphasis on bloodline and lineage, but it is very rare. Even if your bloodline is particularly powerful, they don't really care about it. Bloodline seems to be the least worthwhile thing among the human race. Everyone can succeed in attaining enlightenment as long as they have talent and are willing to study and practice diligently. This is inevitable.

From this perspective, attaining enlightenment is inevitable.

Humans don't believe in these things, but there are families that live forever. Some of these families have even broken away from humans and become their own distinct race.
