187: A divine eye? A blind man? (Seventy-two)

You Chen's figure vanished into the Teleportation Array.

The entrance to the Ten Gods Corridor fell into a deep silence.

The scene of him strolling leisurely while crushing the Heavenly God Rank Puppets deeply shocked the minds of every Prodigy.

Whether they were victors from the Five Domains or those powerful and unfamiliar beings from foreign realms, their eyes were filled with shock and fear at this moment.

"Who... exactly is that person?"

"This person has already touched the threshold of the 'Dao', and even possesses his own 'Small Dao Domain', which can directly disintegrate the composition of the Law. This can no longer be explained by Heavenly God Rank combat power."

An experienced elder Prodigy from a superior realm said in a dry voice.

His words made the hearts of the surrounding Prodigies feel even heavier.

You Chen's crushing clearance brought a huge shock to everyone.

After a brief silence, a Saint Body Prodigy who refused to be outdone finally moved.

"Hmph, posing and bluffing!"

A cold snort.

A Saint Body Prodigy, whose whole body burned with golden flames and whose aura was extremely domineering, walked out from the crowd.

He was a 'Great Sun Saint Body' from a certain superior realm, his combat power had reached the Middle Stage of the Heavenly God Rank, infinitely close to the Late Stage.

He could not tolerate anyone being more dazzling than him.

Boom!

He turned into a golden sun and charged directly into the Ten Gods Corridor.

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

Inside the corridor, golden light burst forth, and divine flames soared to the heavens.

The Great Sun Saint Body displayed extremely powerful combat strength; he fought crazily against ten Puppets, every punch containing destructive power.

However, those Puppets knew no fatigue and understood no fear.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Amidst an unwilling roar, that 'golden sun' was shattered by the joint efforts of three Puppets.

The Great Sun Saint Body flew backward, drenched in blood, his chest collapsed, his Origin damaged, and his aura withered to the extreme.

He was defeated.

He even almost perished.

This scene once again poured a basin of cold water on all the restless Prodigies.

Even an existence of the Great Sun Saint Body's level failed to clear the stage.

You Chen's strength became increasingly unfathomable.

But there were still strong individuals who refused to believe it.

Subsequently, several more Saint Body Prodigies launched attacks one after another.

As a result, most ended up severely injured.

There was even a top-tier peerless Divine Body from an inferior realm who had managed to reach this point with great difficulty; because he was too reckless, he was torn apart on the spot by the Puppets, his Divine Soul completely extinguished.

The bloody reality completely dispelled the wishful thinking of most people.

They finally understood that this first stage was a huge threshold.

Without combat power at the Peak of the Heavenly God Rank, or even close to a King-tier, charging in blindly was a path to death.

Thus, the crowd began to disperse rapidly.

Most people chose to avoid the sharp edge for now and began to explore this first ancient star, looking for Opportunities that would allow them to make a Breakthrough.

For a time, conflicts of varying sizes erupted all over the ancient star.

For a stalk of Spirit Medicine, for a piece of rare Divine Stone, the Prodigies fought fiercely.

The entire plaza soon became deserted.

Jun Yun remained mixed in the crowd, leaning on a wooden staff, his eyes covered.

His heart was as still as stagnant water.

Jun Yun did not leave the plaza.

He found a corner where no one noticed him and sat cross-legged.

He began to carefully observe this strange ancient star using his 'Minds Eye'.

In his Minds Eye world, everything presented its most essential appearance.

He discovered that the Heaven and Earth Law of this ancient star was completely different from the Five Domains.

The Spiritual Qi permeating the air was not pure Spiritual Qi either.

It contained a more pure, more Origin power.

Star power.

This kind of power was a great tonic for any Cultivator.

But it was also wilder and harder to refine.

If one were to forcibly absorb it, one careless move could cause the Meridians to burst from this violent power, or even damage the dao foundation.

Jun Yun was not in a hurry to refine or absorb this power.

His goal had been clear from the beginning.

To find the 'Opportunity' to break through the Bottleneck of the second chapter of the 'Sword Scripture'.

He had a premonition that this strange ancient star might hide the answer he needed.

When other Prodigies were fighting until they were bruised and bleeding for those obvious Spirit Medicines and mineral veins.

Jun Yun's Minds Eye, however, penetrated the surface and began to observe the deepest energy veins of the entire ancient star.

He was like an outsider, overlooking all the secrets of this land.

He saw mineral veins formed by the gathering of Spiritual Qi, hidden deep underground like giant Dragons.

He saw ancient medicines shimmering with divine light growing quietly in the depths of the valleys.

These were all supreme treasures enough to make outside Cultivators go crazy.

But Jun Yun's gaze did not linger on them.

His Minds Eye followed those energy veins, constantly tracing back towards the source.

Gradually, he discovered a peculiar phenomenon.

Whether it was the mineral veins underground or the Spirit Medicines in the mountains, the Spiritual Qi they emitted was not disorderly.

All the dissipated star power seemed to be under some kind of invisible traction.

They were faintly flowing slowly in the same direction.

That direction was a desolate and lifeless ruin.

There were no signs of life there, nor any Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

In the Divine Thought perception of other Prodigies, that was just a place of death without any value.

But Jun Yun's Minds Eye saw something different.

He saw that the star power gathering from all directions, weak enough to be almost negligible, completely disappeared after flowing into those ruins.

There must be something strange there.

Jun Yun stood up.

He did not disturb anyone and quietly left the plaza.

He still maintained the appearance of a 'blind swordsman', leaning on a wooden staff, walking towards those ruins unhurriedly.

His figure moved through the complex ruins, without attracting anyone's attention.

Seven days later.

Jun Yun stopped his footsteps.

He 'looked' at the scene before him, and understood in his heart.

This was an ancient battlefield ruin long forgotten by the world.

No.

More accurately, it was a vast and boundless 'Sword Tomb'.

What met his eyes were endless broken swords stuck all over the ground.

Some swords were as huge as mountains, even if only a hilt remained, they still emitted unyielding Battle Intent.

Some swords were as slender as cow hair, lying quietly in the sand, as if telling of a silent assassination.

More of them were ordinary iron, long eroded by time, rusty, and unrecognizable in their original form.

Besides broken swords, there were steles.

Stone steles that had long weathered away, their inscriptions blurred, stood or fell, scattered in every corner of the Sword Tomb.

There were no spiritual objects here.

The air was filled with a thick, inseparable smell of rust and the aura of death.

As well as wisps of faint, yet incomparably sharp, residual Sword Intent.

Because it was worthless, no one paid any attention to it.

But for Jun Yun.

This was the supreme treasure land he was looking for.

He slowly took a step into this graveyard belonging to swords.

The moment he stepped in.

Hum.

It was as if the souls that had slept for eons were awakened.

The entire Sword Tomb, countless broken swords, at the same time, emitted an imperceptible hum.
