The Eye of the Mystic Spirit is another passage within the Xuanling Realm. The Xuanling Realm is not an independent world; it has two openings.
One connected to Ming Haotian, while the other connected to the mysterious world. The endless chaotic energy within the Xuanling Realm originated from that mysterious world.
Back in the Unmanned Realm, Long Chen had encountered such a place before, but the difference between the two was that the passage in the Xuanling Realm directly connected to the mysterious world.
But the mysterious spring in the Unmanned Realm could only sense the influx of chaotic energy, but couldn't pass through.
Long Chen was so eager to help the Earth Spirit Clan reclaim the Xuanling Realm partly because of his own selfish motives. When he heard about the Xuanling Eye, he wanted to know what kind of world it was connected to.
While Long Chen and the other two were busy, the Earth Spirit Clan's experts collectively mobilized to search for the Eye of the Mystic Spirit, finally finding it beneath the lair of the evil demon clan.
The Evil Demon Clan is one of the Earth Spirit Clan's old rivals. They occupy a powerful terrain and want to seal the Eye of the Mystic Spirit so they can enjoy the chaotic energy it brings alone.
However, chaotic energy cannot be sealed. The evil demon clan forcibly sealed it, and when the seal broke, it nearly led to their extinction.
At that moment, the evil demon clan understood one truth: at most, they could enjoy the convenience brought by the Mysterious Spirit Eye, but could not have it all to themselves.
However, they had put a lot of thought into keeping the purest chaotic energy as possible in their territory, which would be more beneficial for their cultivation.
The Earth Spirit Clan experts didn't care about these things. The chaotic energy of heaven and earth could never be fully absorbed, and the actions of the evil demon clan did not affect their cultivation.
However, the evil demon clan was unaware of this. To prevent the Earth Spirit Clan from one day competing for the Eye of the Mystic Spirit, they set up countless traps to hide the aura of the Eye of Mystic Spirit, so the Earth Spirit Clan only knew of the arrival of the chaotic energy, but did not know where it came from.
This time, the evil demon clan was completely slaughtered. The higher-ups who knew this secret had long been slain by the Hall Master and the Dragonblood Legion.
The remaining minor fry had no idea about this secret, so the Earth Spirit Clan spent a lot of effort to find the entrance to the Eye of the Mystic Spirit beneath the evil demon clan's lair, and immediately came to notify Long Chen.
Long Chen was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately told Guo Ran and Xia Chen to tidy up and go check it out together.
Originally, Guo Ran and Xia Chen didn't want to look at the Mysterious Spirit Eye, since they had just finished dissecting the Saint's corpse. Xia Chen had extracted the Saint's crystal core and essence blood, and now he was about to begin researching and crafting super talismans.
Guo Ran also wanted to try engraving the Saint's runes on the armor to further enhance its power. It could be said that both were eager to see if they could wait.
But since the boss had given orders, the two of them had no choice but to follow. When the three arrived at the ancestral land of the evil demon clan, they found it was already a wasteland. The original buildings had mostly been demolished, and countless greenery had appeared, seemingly purifying the land.
Arriving at the core area of the building, a space spanning tens of thousands of miles had been cleared out, and Long Chen finally saw the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit.
The Eye of the Mysterious Spirit was a lake, narrow and long like a pupil, its surface as smooth as a mirror, and endless chaotic energy rising and mist.
"Such pure chaotic energy, as if top-grade chaos spirit stones have turned into mist." Seeing this scene, Xia Chen's heart couldn't help but race.
This mist was comparable to the Spirit Gathering Array he had condensed from top-grade chaos spirit stones. You have to know, Xia Chen didn't have many top-grade Chaos Spirit Stones; each one was treated like a treasure, mostly used for forging artifacts and inscriptions for himself and Guo Ran, and he was reluctant to place them in the array.
The chaotic energy on the lake's surface was extremely dense, practically a natural top-grade spirit-gathering array. The Dragon Blood Legion cultivated here, achieving twice the result with half the effort. For them, it was practically a fairyland.
"The spring in the Uncharted Realm is worlds apart from it." Guo Ran couldn't help but sigh.
They and Long Chen rushed into the Unmanned Realm and competed with local prodigies for the chaotic energy. At the time, they thought that spring was already an incredibly precious existence, but compared to this place, it was nothing but a small feat.
"Chief Ye Ling, have you checked down below?" Long Chen asked.
Ye Ling shook her head and said, "The Sacred Tree won't let us go down. They said they're afraid we'll get too caught up in too much karma, so we came to notify you immediately." " Karma
? I don't have much to fear, Long Chen smiled slightly. Clearly, the Sacred Tree can see farther. It didn't let Ye Ling and the others intervene, yet it sent word to Long Chen. That meant it knew Long Chen wasn't afraid of this kind of karma.
Long Chen nodded and asked Ye Ling and Ye Xue to help guard the place, so that if anything unexpected happened, they could lend a hand.
After speaking, Long Chen led Xia Chen and Guo Ran into the Eye of the Profound Spirit. Once inside, Long Chen's heart tightened.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that the seemingly ordinary Xuanling Eye was actually bone-chilling. Guo Ran immediately summoned his battle armor to protect himself, and Xia Chen conjured a talisman barrier to envelop him.
The Eye of the Mysterious Spirit was a straight downward passage. The further down, the colder it became. Soon, frost had already formed on Guo Ran's armor, but strangely, the water inside the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit did not freeze.
Although the water here was bone-chilling, Long Chen's strong body didn't mind. Xia Chen's shield was a kind of barrier that completely isolated the temperature, so there was no need to worry. The three of them dove rapidly down.
"One hundred li... Two hundred li... Three hundred li ..."
The deeper he went, the greater the water pressure. The terrifying cold was no longer just aimed at the physical body, but directly at the soul. At that moment, Guo Ran could hardly bear it.
"Boss, I think ..."
"Alright, you should go back!" Long Chen saw him sticking out his butt and knew exactly what he was about to poop about.
Although Guo Ran was powerful in combat and could fight the Destiny Warriors, his strength depended entirely on his armor.
Here, however, the armor's defensive capabilities seemed to be greatly limited. When the cold invaded his soul, this guy began to back out.
Long Chen didn't push him either, continuing down with Xia Chen. Xia Chen's soul power was extremely strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control millions of talismans at once.
The Eye of the Mysterious Spirit was bottomless; the deeper it went, the stronger the pressure. Fortunately, Xia Chen was not Guo Ran; his combat power, willpower, and soul power were all exceptionally strong, and he had been closely following Long Chen.
"Boss, we're almost at the end."
Suddenly, Xia Chen cried out in surprise, because below was no longer darkness—he finally saw light.
The two immediately perked up and rushed toward the light. But when they were still several hundred li away, Long Chen and Xia Chen suddenly felt a powerful force blocking them, preventing them from moving forward.
"There's a barrier,"
Xia Chen's expression changed.
