This time, he was certain.

He hadn't seen wrong just now.

The appearance of the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit resembled that of Gu.

And it also bore a seventy percent resemblance to Zhao Yi!

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhao Yi had too little information to know if this situation was normal.

Whoo!

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, forcing down the unease in his heart.

He looked at the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit, pretending to be impatient, "Why did you call me here? If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't waste my time."

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit said, "You want to destroy this avatar of mine?"

"What else?" Zhao Yi retorted.

"You said before you are omniscient and omnipotent, as long as I make a wish to you, you can fulfill my wish."

"And what happened? I just asked you to help me open the Mystical Gate, which you can't even do. So why should I keep you around?"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit glanced at Gu across the way.

If it weren't for Gu's interference, he would have broken the Mystical Gate already.

Gu ignored the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit.

His eyes remained tightly shut, and the sword-shaped hole in his brow emitted a dark, deep light, seeming as if it could draw one's divine soul into it.

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit, unable to match Gu, could only change the topic, "I can offer you other benefits, like gold and silver..."

Zhao Yi interrupted him, "I'm the wealthiest person in the world, no matter how much money you give, it won't be more than mine."

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit: "Women..."

Zhao Yi: "I'm the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, what woman can I not obtain?"

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit: "Magical artifacts..."

Zhao Yi: "I can't even break through the Mystical Gate, what do I need magical artifacts for?"

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit fell silent.

After a long pause, he continued, "...then what do you need?"

Zhao Yi: "Help me open the Mystical Gate."

This time, the silence of the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit lasted even longer.

If he could open the Mystical Gate, there would be no need to waste words on Zhao Yi.

He would have sent Zhao Yi to his death long ago!

After what seemed like an eternity, nearing a hundred breaths, and Zhao Yi was about to be expelled, the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit finally spoke again.

"I can give you a world," he said.

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you referring to a Secret Realm? I have dozens of those, I'm long past finding them special."

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit: "The world I'm talking about is not an ordinary Secret Realm; it holds secrets concerning this world."

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit seemed confident Zhao Yi would take the bait. He looked up at Gu and said in a calm tone, "Don't you want to know what that thing really is?"

Zhao Yi did not answer but asked in return, "Does the Secret Realm record anything about the 'Spirit'? Compared to Gu, I'm more interested in what you all are, and why you treat our world as your hunting ground!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit was visibly taken aback.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yi's time was up.

Zhao Yi shook his head, "Regrettably, your offer doesn't interest me. So, please, go die!"

The Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit suddenly panicked and hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking! That world contains information about us, everything you want to know is in there! You can take a look first, and then decide, it's not too late!"

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Where is the Secret Realm you're talking about?"

The brow of the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit emitted a beam of black light, which flew towards Zhao Yi's consciousness.

Zhao Yi glanced at Gu and, seeing that he did not intervene, did not dodge, allowing the black light to fall on his divine soul.

Compared to the eerie 'Spirit,' Zhao Yi instinctively trusted Gu more.

"Little Leiyin Temple?"

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

From the first glance at the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit, Zhao Yi felt it bore a great resemblance to the Thousand-Handed Buddha of the Buddhist Sect.

Apart from not having a thousand eerie, crimson eyes in the palms, the Thousand-Handed Buddha's appearance was identical to that of the Thousand Hands and Eyes Spirit.

It now seems the Buddhist Sect has a profound connection with the 'Spirit,' and Little Leiyin Temple likely has ties to the world behind the 'Spirit.'

"Looks like I need to visit the Buddhist Sect!"

Zhao Yi returned to his senses and then said to Miaoyin, "Put this thing away for now."

Zhao Yi conveyed the words of the "spirit" of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes to Miaoyin Zhenren, and said solemnly, "You return to Shengjing City once. Firstly, send Prince Zhi's body back to the Imperial Clan Court and have them assign someone to take over the Four Seas Commerce Association affairs; secondly, inform the ancestors at the Golden Hall about the 'spirit's matter, and it would be best if they could visit Little Leiyin Temple."

Upon saying this, Zhao Yi frowned slightly and said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly have a premonition. The opportunity to perfect the Dragon God Technique is at Little Leiyin Temple, and perhaps the bloodline curse that has troubled the Zhao family for a thousand years will be broken!"

Miaoyin Zhenren heard this and immediately perked up, "Is this true?"

Zhao Yi first nodded and then shook his head.

"I just have a premonition, but I'm not sure yet. The specifics will become clear after we go to Little Leiyin Temple."

Zhao Yi did not have confidence when he said this.

When the "spirit" of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes guided Zhao Yi to the secret realm, he suddenly had a strange intuition.

That intuition clearly told Zhao Yi that the opportunity for the Zhao family lies at Little Leiyin Temple.

The reason Zhao Yi was uncertain was because the opportunity to perfect the Dragon God Technique lies with the male protagonist.

The male protagonist is still buried in the pit outside the city!

Zhao Yi previously wanted to capture the Eye of Celestial Tribulation but failed, and since he was still exposed, he didn't bother with the male protagonist and directly returned to Yao Family Town.

The male protagonist was severely injured and later buried alive in the ground; he might already be dead by now.

Without the male protagonist, can the Dragon God Technique still be perfected?

Zhao Yi shook his head and said to Miaoyin Zhenren, "You should go back first, and we'll discuss any situation after reaching Little Leiyin Temple!"

Miaoyin agreed and her figure wavered, then she disappeared completely.

"Someone come!"

Zhao Yi commanded outside the door, "Have the Taotie come see me!"

Not long after, the door opened, and the ugly True Dragon Five Sons came tumbling and crawling in from outside.

The Taotie lay on the ground, head lifted, looking at Zhao Yi with a flattering expression, "Master, do you have something for me?"

Zhao Yi nodded, raising his hand to point at the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Divine Statue by the wall.

Seeing the statue, the Taotie's ugly face scrunched up.

This thing is really hard to eat, like chewing wax, much worse than veal!

But since Zhao Yi gave the order, Taotie dared not resist and went to embrace the statue.

In the Divine Sense Space, the "spirit" of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes trembled.

It roared, "Human, you broke your promise!"

Zhao Yi's brain buzzed from its yelling.

"Noisy!" Zhao Yi scolded.

Huh?

The Taotie opened its mouth to bite the statue but paused at Zhao Yi's words, looking up at him in confusion, "Master, are you talking to me?"

Zhao Yi waved his hand, ordering it, "From now on, you carry this statue with you no matter where you go! If it shows any abnormalities, eat it immediately!"

Upon hearing it didn't have to eat now, the Taotie's eyes brightened.

It extended its claw and patted the statue's head hard, threatening grimly, "Heard what the master said? You better behave, or I'll eat you!"

The "spirit" of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes immediately cursed, "Beast, even the True Dragon wouldn't dare be so insolent to me!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi felt a stir in his heart.

There seem to be many secrets to the "spirit" of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes.

Over time, Zhao Yi believed that he would eventually uncover all its secrets.

Zhao Yi pondered as his peripheral vision glanced at the statue.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but the statue's appearance seemed to be gradually morphing into his likeness.

Meanwhile.

Outside the city in the dense forest... oh, no, it should now be called a pond.

After the Thunder Tribulation dispersed, heavy rain began falling from the sky.

In a short time, the pit blasted by the Thunder Dragon was filled with water, becoming a pond.

The male protagonist knelt in the mud, his scalp blackened, body covered with blood scabs, and he looked in panic at Yao Su, clad in torn, blackened monk robes.

Yao Su's cultivation level had dropped to the first stage of the Body Tempering Realm, with no trace of True Essence on him, appearing like an ordinary mortal who had never cultivated.

The male protagonist's panic wasn't because of Yao Su's lack of cultivation but because he was alarmed by the absence of soul aura from Yao Su.

Her divine soul had been shattered by the Tribulation Thunder, leaving her a vegetative state without consciousness.

"Arhat Ancestor Master, is what you said true?"

The male protagonist clutched Yao Su's tattered robes, cautiously covering her exposed areas, his expression growing more resolute.

"Is it true that there is an Arhat Fruit at Little Leiyin Temple that can reconstruct the divine soul?"
