366: Holy Eye Secret Realm

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "Everything is up to Revered Master."

Although his heart was burning with rage, wishing he could dismember the mastermind, he also understood that the power of the Heavenly Battle Hall was by no means something he could currently contend with.

The Heavenly Battle Hall was one of the six hegemonic powers in the Canglan Dao Domain, occupying half of the central territory and on equal footing with the Azurewave Dao Sect. One must know that the Azurewave Dao Sect had an existence in the Late Stage Dao Lord Realm, which showed the Heavenly Battle Hall's profound foundation.

For the sake of his Family and the bigger picture, he could only endure for now.

Daoist Cangsong saw this, a hint of gratification flashed in his eyes, and he gently patted Xu Yuan's shoulder: "In the Ancient Land of Dao, strength ultimately speaks. If you can Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm, the grievances you suffer today can all be repaid in the future."

Xu Yuan nodded, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"This time, I will open the Sacred Eye Secret Realm for you."

Daoist Cangsong's tone was solemn, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"The Sacred Eye Secret Realm originated from the Ancestral Master. He left all the Legacy regarding the Sacred Eye there. If you can obtain the Legacy, your Dao path will be even smoother."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with fervor.

The Cangwu Dao Academy was situated on a vast ley line, where Chaos Origin Qi was extremely dense, like a thick layer of mist, enveloping the entire Dao Academy, lingering for a long time.

That Chaos Origin Qi contained endless Heaven and Earth essence, as if every wisp of Qi could significantly advance one's Cultivation. However, at the end of this ley line, an even more mysterious place was hidden.

Behind Cangwu Peak was a vast and boundless unknown Domain.

Mountains undulated there, clouds and mist swirled, as if isolated from the world. And in the deepest part of that Domain, an isolated mountain stood. The isolated mountain was only about a thousand zhang in size, but its body was steep, exuding an ancient aura of time.

At the peak of the mountain, there was an ancient cave. The cave entrance was mottled and old, its stone walls covered with traces of time, as if it had endured countless years of erosion, witnessing the changes of countless eras.

Around the ancient cave, a vast and complex grand formation enveloped it. That grand formation exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it could isolate all external forces.

Outside the grand formation, four powerful auras subtly fluctuated, like four guardian gods, silently guarding this ancient cave, not allowing anyone to easily approach.

This was the Forbidden Ground of the Cangwu Dao Academy, named "Cangwu Ancient Cave."

Only the Dean, or someone holding the Cangwu Token, could enter this mysterious place. Otherwise, even the Elders and Grand Elders of the Dao Academy, without permission, would never dare to overstep their bounds.

It could be said that the Cangwu Ancient Cave was a place countless powerhouses of the Cangwu Dao Academy longed for, after all, it was left by the Ancestral Master of the Cangwu Dao Academy.

The Ancestral Master was an Immortal Giant, with Cultivation that reached the heavens and earth. What he left behind, even if it was just a tiny bit, was enough to benefit someone for a lifetime.

Ancient records stated that the ancient cave only contained the Sacred Eye Legacy, but even so, it was enough to drive countless powerhouses mad.

However, the rules of the ancient cave were extremely strict — only a Saint Eyes Wielder could enter it.

Even a powerhouse like Daoist Cangsong could not step half a pace into the ancient cave.

And today, this ancient cave finally welcomed its Revered Master — Xu Yuan.

Before the Cangwu Ancient Cave, Daoist Cangsong's expression was solemn. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

As he moved, the surrounding Chaos power surged, transforming into profound runes that circled around the ancient cave.

The runes flickered with brilliant light, as if containing endless Heaven and Earth power.

"Open!"

Daoist Cangsong let out a low shout, pushing his hands forward abruptly.

"Boom—"

The Void Realm in front of the ancient cave suddenly twisted, and a giant spatial vortex slowly appeared. The vortex was incomparably deep, as if connected to another world, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Disciple, go in!"

Daoist Cangsong turned to look at Xu Yuan, his gaze carrying a hint of expectation and solemnity, "Remember, there is an assessment from the Ancestral Master within the ancient cave. It is not to be underestimated, you must go all out!"

Xu Yuan nodded, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the spatial vortex.

Looking at Xu Yuan's retreating figure, Cangsong sighed, the words he wanted to say finally remaining unspoken.

In the Heavenly Battle Hall, Daoist Cang Bai smiled and shook his head, clearly everything was as he expected.

Speaking of Xu Yuan, his figure disappeared into the vortex, being teleported to a strange world.

This was a vast starry sky, with brilliant stars and a spanning milky way, as if one was in the center of the Universe. However, this starry sky was completely different from the outside world. Every star emitted a strange light, as if containing endless profoundness.

And at the end of the starry sky, an ancient palace stood. The palace was entirely black, as if condensed from endless darkness, yet it exuded a sacred and majestic aura.

"Is that where the Sacred Eye Legacy is?"

Xu Yuan's gaze fixed on the palace, a strong desire surging in his heart.

However, the path to the palace was not simple. Before him was a heavenly path composed of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

Each step emitted a faint light, as if waiting for the arrival of a challenger.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, is each step an assessment?"

Xu Yuan murmured softly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

He was very familiar with this kind of trial!

He took the first step, stepping onto the first stair.

"Buzz—"

A light suddenly lit up on the stair, and an illusory figure emerged. The next moment, he scattered a shower of light, enveloping Xu Yuan.

"First test, see through illusion!"

An ancient voice echoed in Xu Yuan's mind.

Xu Yuan did not hesitate and walked up.

His Sacred Eye assessment began... and just nine years after Xu Yuan entered seclusion!

Behemoth Domain, Kase Heaven Realm!

Yuan Shen Mountain Range (Resentful God Mountain Range).

"Buzz!"

A figure suddenly appeared here. The owner of this figure had an extremely demonic face. It was none other than Xu Qing, who had been in seclusion for many years.

Only twenty short years had passed in the outside world, but he had Cultivated on the Qiankun Continent for sixty thousand years, which already exceeded the time he had Cultivated in the past.

His emergence from seclusion this time was also due to sensing someone trying to divine his younger brother, which awakened him from his cultivation. If he hadn't known his younger brother was fine, and coupled with reaching a critical juncture in his Cultivation, he would have come out long ago.

Later, he received a reply from his younger brother that he had entered the Sacred Eye Secret Realm, and only then did he continue his seclusion for over twenty thousand more years.
