Chapter 25

The black vortex sucked him in, and Li Tianming fell in a daze.

"Where am I?" He immediately got up and found himself in a secret chamber, with black walls on all sides and an especially hard stone floor. There was a circular passage on the ceiling, the walls of which were made of bronze, which must have been the well.

"I must be underground."

His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. In this enclosed secret chamber, he found two things: one was the divine source that had fallen from above, and the other was a white jade sphere in front of him, perfectly round and white, emitting a crystalline light.

It was this white jade sphere that illuminated the entire chamber, preventing it from being pitch black.

"Look, what is this?" Li Tianming brought out Little Yellow Chicken from the Companion Space. To be honest, he felt that the white jade sphere was somewhat eerie, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Is there really something here?" Little Yellow Chicken circled the white jade sphere and finally said, "It's quite peculiar. You figure it out. Give me the divine source; I can't wait to evolve."

"Right here?"

"Where else? Your father is still outside. Who knows when they'll break in." Little Yellow Chicken rolled its eyes.

The process of refining the divine source to evolve is mainly carried out by the Companion Beast. If the evolution is successful, the Companion Beast's enhanced bloodline abilities will further transform the Beastmaster. Li Tianming only needed to guard the process.

"They think I'm a first-stage Companion Beast and assume I can't refine the divine source. Little do they know, my so-called evolution is more about breaking free from the bloodline shackles." Little Yellow Chicken said with disdain and pride.

"Alright, stop boasting." Li Tianming handed over the divine source. Of course, he wasn't worried that Little Yellow Chicken would fail to handle it.

Although he had heard that the process of Companion Beasts absorbing divine sources to evolve is fraught with variables, usually requiring the protection of elders, and many historical cases of failed evolution, even death, young people's Companion Beasts generally didn't dare to evolve alone. However, he felt that the Eternal Hell Phoenix shouldn't have this problem; it could even eat spirit mines raw.

Little Yellow Chicken was overjoyed to get the divine source, its eyes gleaming like a child with a beloved toy.

"Figure out this sphere first. If there's no problem, I'll start." Despite its carefree attitude, it was actually quite meticulous, able to hold back even with the divine source in hand.

Li Tianming was already eager to start. He stood next to the white jade sphere.

"This well uses the divine source as a key. After entering, there's only this white jade sphere, so its value must be several times that of the divine source." Li Tianming said.

"True, but it depends on whether you have the fortune to obtain it."

"Right."

Li Tianming nodded, prepared, and reached out to touch the white jade sphere. It felt cold to the touch, but there was no sense of rejection, so he picked it up and examined it closely.

The white jade sphere was extremely pure and smooth, with no flaws on its surface. Li Tianming turned it a few times, feeling it was just an ordinary piece of jade, seemingly nothing peculiar.

At that moment, an eye appeared on the white jade sphere!

The eye appeared without warning, staring directly at him, as if a person had suddenly appeared in front of him!

When his eyes met the eye on the sphere, Li Tianming's mind buzzed, and for a moment, the world spun and everything was upside down. Then a loud boom echoed, and he felt dizzy. In the next instant, he seemed to enter a world of white light, with blinding brightness in all directions, nothing visible, and countless voices whispering in his ears, as if millions of people were both in front of him and at the horizon.

"Realm of Illusion, I am the Supreme. In the unseen, I guide you here!"

A thunderous voice suddenly echoed through the world, each word exploding in Li Tianming's mind, making it impossible to forget.

This sentence contained two pieces of information. The first was definitely from the owner of the white sphere, who claimed to be the Supreme in the Realm of Illusion. Unfortunately, Li Tianming had never heard of the Realm of Illusion.

The second part was mysterious: "In the unseen, I guide you here." He initially came for the Spirit Grass, then met Jiang Feilin and learned about the divine source, and only because of the eye on his Dark Left Arm did he discover the well. How could this be considered being guided here by someone in the unseen?

"Young man, when you cultivate my 'Divine Soul Heaven Book' to the 'Heavenly Extreme Eye' level, the 'Spirit Core' will truly open. At that time, you can come to the Realm of Illusion and trace my divine traces!"

Another sentence that made his mind buzz.

This sentence contained even more information. First, the person left something called the 'Divine Soul Heaven Book,' which seemed to be a cultivation technique. Then, Li Tianming needed to cultivate it to the 'Heavenly Extreme Eye' level for something called the 'Spirit Core' to truly open, allowing him to reach the 'Realm of Illusion.'

The 'Spirit Core,' he felt, was likely the white jade sphere, specifically the eye on it.

Before he could react, the white world continued to change, and suddenly, a lot of golden mist gathered in front of him. The golden mist transformed, eventually forming golden characters.

"Divine Soul Heaven Book, First Level: 'Mystic Spirit Eye.'" Li Tianming read the characters aloud.

The golden characters were numerous and complex, but each word he read was etched into his mind, remembered clearly. After about a quarter of an hour, he finished reading all the characters.

At that moment, the complete 'Mystic Spirit Eye' cultivation technique was firmly etched in his mind, impossible to forget.

"When the Mystic Spirit Eye is fully cultivated, you can open the second level of the Divine Soul Heaven Book." The voice appeared again.

Li Tianming was still dazed. He shook his head and suddenly realized that the white world had disappeared, and he was back in the secret chamber. The white jade sphere was still in his hand, but the eye that had appeared was gone.

"What are you doing, chanting scriptures for so long? I thought you were going to become a monk." Little Yellow Chicken stared at him with wide eyes.

It took Li Tianming a while to react. He examined the white jade sphere in his hand, but its light had dimmed, and it no longer responded to his actions.

The inheritance was complete, and it might only react again when Li Tianming made a breakthrough in the Divine Soul Heaven Book.

"Have you heard of the Realm of Illusion?" Li Tianming asked. He considered himself well-informed, having read many books from the Yanhuang Academy, but he had never heard of this place.

"No."

"I think I've gained a great fortune."

"What fortune?"

"A cultivation technique called the 'Divine Soul Heaven Book,' somewhat similar to the methods of **-type Beastmasters." Li Tianming said.

**-type Companion Beasts are rare, with high ranks. It was said that Liu Qing was a rare **-type Beastmaster, possessing a **-type Companion Beast. These beings had the power to bewitch the soul and spirit, making them unpredictable and capable of confusing opponents in battle, even controlling their souls.

"Try cultivating it. I'll refine the divine source and then see your progress."

It had already started refining the divine source!

Since it would take some time, Li Tianming sat down and carefully pondered the first level of the 'Divine Soul Heaven Book,' the 'Mystic Spirit Eye.'

"This is a cultivation technique, not a battle technique."

**-type Beastmasters also had some '** battle techniques,' which Li Tianming had seen before, but they were different from the Divine Soul Heaven Book he now remembered. ** battle techniques were based on **-type Companion Beasts, while the Divine Soul Heaven Book forged the eyes to directly transform the practitioner into a **-type Beastmaster.

This incredible cultivation technique belonged to the category of 'special cultivation techniques.'

Cultivation techniques come in two types: special cultivation techniques and the more common 'realm cultivation techniques.' For example, 'Xuanjin Decree' and 'Eternal Hell Scripture' are realm cultivation techniques, which convert the world's spiritual energy into beast essence, break through realms, and condense spirit sources, forming the foundation of cultivation, more important than battle techniques.

Li Tianming had heard that the elders had created some special cultivation techniques that could create something out of nothing and be integrated into the realm cultivation technique system. Today, he finally saw one, like the Divine Soul Heaven Book, which did not conflict with the Eternal Hell Scripture.

He began to ponder the cultivation method of the 'Mystic Spirit Eye.'

"It's a bit scary, equivalent to opening 'Illusion Spirit Meridians' in the eyeball. These meridians are very small and need to cover the entire eyeball. This is not a natural process but a forced opening. A slight failure could destroy the eye completely."

"The first level of the Mystic Spirit Eye requires opening 81 Illusion Spirit Meridians in one eye, allowing beast essence to circulate within the eye. This precise cultivation method is extremely dangerous, and those without special talent in their eyes cannot cultivate it."

"However, once successfully cultivated, this eye becomes the Mystic Spirit Eye. Even if you're not a **-type Beastmaster, you can create ** effects, possibly even stronger than **-type Beastmasters."

"The Mystic Spirit Eye is so complex; I wonder what level the 'Heavenly Extreme Eye,' which can open the Spirit Core to the Realm of Illusion, is."

Li Tianming had a premonition that what he had obtained might be a great treasure. If he could cultivate it well, it would definitely be very beneficial.

"It feels like an ultimate treasure. I wonder how it compares to the Sacred Beast War Soul I obtained before." He felt his luck was indeed quite good. From his sixth sense, the 'Spirit Core' in his hand might not be inferior to the Sacred Beast War Soul.

Moreover, he obtained it in a very ordinary place.

"There is indeed a deeper meaning in the unseen." He felt he had encountered too many things in the unseen, like his meeting with Jiang Feilin.

He somewhat believed that obtaining the 'Spirit Core' was not just luck but a call from the unseen by the owner of the Spirit Core.

"Let's start cultivating!"

Thinking about this, he was excited, feeling like a chosen one. This feeling was great, but he knew he shouldn't get too carried away, as he had already fallen hard three years ago.

So, in his dictionary, there was no "chosen one."

Only, becoming stronger, and seeking revenge!
