I Can Strengthen Everything

Fang Xing lowered his head, his entire body seemingly pinned in place by a vast and boundless Power of Heaven and Earth.

"Demon fiend, dare to intrude again, and I will ensure you never leave!"

The majestic voice echoed from the heavens once more. In the next instant, the godlike, imperious face vanished, and all returned to tranquility.

But at that moment, after a brief silence, the entire city erupted in an uproar.

"My heavens, what was that? An Immortal?"

"What terrifying might!"

"That looked like one of the great figures from the Observatory. It seems some demon or monster provoked them."

"To spy directly on the Observatory... what kind of demon has such astounding audacity!"

...

The entire city was in an uproar.

It wasn’t just the common folk; even the city’s major Martial Dao Giants all turned their gazes in unison toward the Observatory.

The Martial Dao Giants were all shocked and uncertain.

In broad daylight, what kind of demon would dare cause trouble in a Province Capital City?

Not even the Demon Emperor would have the gall to do that, right?

’Could it be a Great Demon Saint?!’

’No, that can’t be...’

’Don’t tell me the Demons and Monsters want to wage all-out war with the Human Race?!’

All sorts of speculation arose in the minds of the Martial Dao Giants throughout the city.

But this was all just speculation, with no way to confirm the truth.

However, to draw out the Commander, it must have been a peerless Demon Saint.

Not even the Demon Emperor would warrant such a response.

...

At the Observatory, several figures quickly gathered before the gates of a mansion.

They were the Four Great Marshals of the Jiang Province Observatory.

Upon reaching the gates, the four Marshals, their faces grave, exchanged a glance and stepped into the mansion.

Soon, the four Marshals arrived before the study door inside the mansion.

"Sir!"

The four Marshals bowed, and a voice came from within the study.

"Come in."

As the voice faded, the four Marshals stepped into the study.

At his desk, Commander Duan Tianya sat with a deeply furrowed brow.

The men exchanged a glance, and Nangong Qing broke the silence. "Sir, what just happened? Was a demon or monster truly spying on Jiang Province?"

Duan Tianya looked at the four of them and shook his head gently. "No. However, I did sense the probe of a mysterious gaze. I just couldn’t deduce its specific location."

!!!

The four men’s expressions changed at his words.

’If even Duan Tianya couldn’t trace it, just who, or what, could this be?!’

’Could a Demon King of Demons have infiltrated our domain to spy on us?’

The four of them grew solemn.

With the current instability, it wasn’t out of the question that a Demon King of Demons was indeed spying.

"Alright, it should be nothing to worry about. You are dismissed," Duan Tianya said.

The four men snapped out of their thoughts, nodded, and left the study.

The situation had caught them all off guard.

But none of them knew the specifics of the situation.

They had felt compelled to come and see.

Though they hadn’t received a definitive answer, the four men remained on high alert, not daring to lower their guard.

"I hope I’m just overthinking this..."

Duan Tianya muttered to himself as he watched the four men leave.

——

"I should... be okay, right?"

Back in his courtyard, it took Fang Xing a long while to come to his senses.

He had only been testing the ability of his Golden Eyes of Truth; he never expected it to cause such a commotion.

’If they’ve locked onto me, I could be in serious trouble.’

’No, I have to go to the Library Pavilion. There should be some records about this.’

After pondering for a moment, Fang Xing still felt uneasy. He quickly left his courtyard and headed for the Library Pavilion.

He wouldn’t dare to look around carelessly again until he understood the capabilities of these Golden Eyes of Truth.

’One more time, and they’ll definitely lock onto me.’

Keeping his head down, Fang Xing made a beeline for the Library Pavilion.

The Observatory’s Library Pavilion housed not only Martial Dao Secret Techniques and various Martial Arts, but also numerous ancient tomes that chronicled the world’s many strange phenomena.

These books were all on the first floor of the Library Pavilion.

For one hundred Merit, you could browse them at your leisure.

The second and third floors were where the Martial Arts and Martial Dao Secret Techniques were kept.

Accessing those required spending additional Merit for exchanges.

After spending one hundred Merit, Fang Xing entered the first floor of the Library Pavilion. His gaze swept over the rows of bookshelves as he walked toward them.

*World Atlas*, *Overseas Strange Chronicles*, *Celestial Country Theory*, *Southern Border Anomaly Record*...

He flipped through the books one by one, speed-reading ten lines at a glance.

There were too many books. It couldn’t be helped; he would just have to take his time.

But he had to understand the Golden Eyes of Truth. It would be worth it, no matter how much time it took.

He had yet to discover the wonderful uses of this enhancement, and he had already almost been exposed.

He had to be cautious.

He went through book after book of strange tales and oddities.

Still, Fang Xing found no descriptions related to the Golden Eyes of Truth.

——

The sky gradually dimmed.

For more than two full hours, Fang Xing lost track of how many ancient books he had read.

"Hm?"

"Found it!"

His gaze scanned the page of the ancient book in his hand, his eyes fixed on a particular description.

It contained a record describing the Golden Eyes of Truth.

The Golden Eyes of Truth: able to see through the Netherworld, pierce all illusions, and observe the providence of the mortal realm...

’The power of the Golden Eyes of Truth is this incredible?!’

Fang Xing’s heart pounded as he read the description in the ancient book.

The power of the Golden Eyes of Truth seemed to far exceed his imagination.

To gaze upon the Nine Heavens above and pierce the Netherworld below!

All falsehoods could be pierced.

It could even perceive the weaknesses of others.

...

After staring intently for a long while, Fang Xing finally snapped back to reality.

Now, he understood the power of his Golden Eyes of Truth.

Leaving the Library Pavilion, Fang Xing looked into the distance. Within the night, the vision of raging flames and purple qi once again appeared before his eyes.

Those raging flames were the "providence of the mortal realm"!

And the purple qi among the flames was the aura carried by the officials of the Court.
