Chapter 1780: The Heart of the Illusory Realm

"Tell you? Hah, dream on! Even if I die, I won't tell you!"

At this moment, Sikong Xiu was nearly insane, his pride utterly shattered.

His hatred for Ye Yuan had reached its peak.

Ye Yuan merely smiled faintly and said, "You misunderstand. I have no intention of listening to you, nor would I believe what you say. So, I'll just see for myself."

Sikong Xiu was taken aback, then laughed wildly: "You want to search my soul? Hahaha, my Spirit Control Sect excels in the path of the soul, and my cultivation level is far above yours. Yet you dare speak of searching my soul? Ignorant fool!"

Ye Yuan looked at Sikong Xiu with great calm, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Is that so?"

Bang!

Ye Yuan directly stomped Sikong Xiu to the ground, his divine soul surging wildly into Sikong Xiu's sea of consciousness.

Sikong Xiu's cultivation had plummeted, but his divine soul remained extremely powerful.

Logically, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to search his soul.

Sikong Xiu naturally thought so too, and his soul power surged out wildly, intending to extinguish Ye Yuan's divine soul.

But at that moment, a mysterious and unfathomable energy directly struck his sea of consciousness.

His divine soul was instantly frozen, unable to move.

It felt as if his hands and feet were bound, leaving him to watch helplessly as Ye Yuan's divine soul searched freely through his sea of consciousness.

Sikong Xiu was filled with shame and rage; all his secrets were now laid bare before Ye Yuan.

The disciples of the Spirit Control Sect saw this and their expressions changed drastically.

Ye Yuan had actually succeeded!

This young man before them was too terrifying. Who exactly was he?

After a moment, Ye Yuan's divine sense withdrew, and his eyes showed a contemplative expression.

"Ye Yuan, I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Sikong Xiu roared and lunged at Ye Yuan, but Ning Tianping sidestepped and slapped him flying.

Sikong Xiu was already at the end of his rope; dealing with him was easy for Ning Tianping now.

"Trash like you dares to attack the master?" Ning Tianping said disdainfully.

Ye Yuan looked at Sikong Xiu and sneered, "Your Spirit Control Sect is worse than beasts! Bai Guang, Tianping, Huxin, kill them all, leave no one alive."

This Spirit Control Sect was guilty of heinous crimes, utterly devoid of humanity.

Sikong Xiu was especially repulsive, committing rape, pillage, and every evil imaginable.

If Ye Yuan hadn't encountered such people, he might have let it slide.

But since they provoked him, Ye Yuan would not show mercy.

These Spirit Control Sect disciples, having summoned their guardian sacred beasts, were now in a weakened state. Bai Guang and the others dispatched them like cutting vegetables.

"Big brother, I never thought you would find this place! If not for you, I would probably..."

Bai Guang's expression darkened. Thinking of the miserable life he would have led, he couldn't help but shudder.

Ning Tianping couldn't help but say, "Brother Bai Guang, you don't know how much the master sacrificed to find you."

Ye Yuan shot him a fierce glare and snapped, "You talk too much!"

Ning Tianping stuck out his tongue and wisely shut up.

Bai Guang was deeply moved. With Ning Tianping's words, how could he not understand?

"Alright, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. What matters is that you're safe," Ye Yuan said, patting Bai Guang on the shoulder.

Bai Guang nodded and said no more.

Between him and Ye Yuan, there was no need for empty words of gratitude.

If Ye Yuan had been in trouble, he too would have risked everything to save him.

After some conversation, Ye Yuan learned that Bai Guang hadn't come to the Demon God Domain willingly but was forced to.

Back when he left the Tianying Imperial City, he stumbled into a cave dwelling.

In that cave, Bai Guang obtained the inheritance of the Tiger Clan and was trapped there for several hundred years.

Later, Bai Guang's strength greatly increased, and he finally managed to leave the cave.

But who would have thought that exiting that place would land him in the Demon God Domain.

As for what happened afterward, Ye Yuan already knew.

When he learned the whole story, he was stunned.

He never expected that while he treated Heitong as a brother, Heitong treated him like a fool.

But upon hearing that Heitong was tortured to death by the Heavenly Tiger King, Bai Guang felt relieved.

Regardless, his big brother had avenged him.

"Big brother, what should we do now? Did you find any useful clues from that Sikong Xiu?" Bai Guang asked.

The top priority was finding a way out.

Ye Yuan nodded: "In the Huangling Illusory Realm, there is a Heart of the Illusory Realm. The Heart of the Illusory Realm is a singularity connecting the Tongtian Realm and the Illusory Realm. It continuously draws energy from the Tongtian Realm to sustain the Illusory Realm. If we can find the Heart of the Illusory Realm, we can find a way back."

Bai Guang frowned: "The Heart of the Illusory Realm is so important; it can't be easy to find, right?"

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly: "This Huangling Illusory Realm is a天尊-level illusory realm, and many major sects have True God realm experts. Trying to break into the location of the Heart of the Illusory Realm is pure fantasy."

The three of them gasped. The Heart of the Illusory Realm was so crucial that it must be in the hands of the most powerful figures.

A天尊-level expert could annihilate them with a single breath; breaking into the Heart of the Illusory Realm's location was an impossible task.

"Master, does that mean... we have to stay here forever?" Ning Tianping's expression changed slightly.

Ye Yuan said, "Not necessarily! The force that controls the Heart of the Illusory Realm is called the Huangling Sacred Hall. Below the Huangling Sacred Hall are more than ten True God-level sects. Every thousand years, these True God-level sects hold the Huangling Martial Meet, and the top five will qualify to become disciples of the Huangling Sacred Hall. These five will also gain the right to enter the Heart of the Illusory Realm to comprehend the Dao!"

Within the Heart of the Illusory Realm lies the lifelong insights of the great power who created this illusory realm.

Thus, it is not only a vital treasure for maintaining the illusory realm but also an excellent place for Dao comprehension.

"Big brother, do you mean we should join these sects and then participate in the Huangling Martial Meet?" Bai Guang said.

Ye Yuan smiled: "Not 'we,' just me. The martial inheritance in this Huangling Illusory Realm is extremely ancient, and the divine energy they cultivate differs from that of the Tongtian Realm. If you use your divine energy in the sect, you'll be recognized immediately. So, you all stay in the Purple Extreme Palace and cultivate well. I will bring you back to the Tongtian Realm."

Bai Guang shrugged: "Alright, big brother, your cultivation technique is too freakish. It's best to leave this to you."

He knew that Ye Yuan's technique could even simulate the demonic energy of the Demon Race, let alone the divine energy of this Huangling Illusory Realm.

Having searched Sikong Xiu's soul, Ye Yuan naturally knew the exit of the Broken Realm.

He had Bai Guang and the others enter the Purple Extreme Palace, then headed toward the exit leading to the Huangling Illusory Realm.
