Chapter 423: Ask the Master If There Is a Way

Su Liyan gently gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand, "We will protect this land and its people."

"Even if the Red Lotus Sect and Blood Moon Sect are strong, they cannot hinder our advance."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor looked at the four, showing an encouraging smile, "Your Dao arts and courage are what I am proud of."

"Now, I will open the Heavenly Eye for you, allowing you to enter a higher level of cultivation."

Lu Yuan and the four looked excitedly at the Supreme Dao Ancestor, their hearts filled with gratitude and determination.

They knew that in this perilous world, only through higher-level cultivation could they become stronger.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor extended a finger toward Lu Yuan, lightly touching his forehead.

A faint light emanated from Lu Yuan's brow and gradually faded.

"From now on, you will possess the Heavenly Eye."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor said solemnly, "It will help you perceive everything and understand the secrets of heaven and earth."

"But remember, power is merely a tool; your state of mind and belief are the most fundamental."

Lu Yuan and the four nodded, understanding what the Supreme Dao Ancestor's words meant.

They will use the power they possess to protect beautiful things and pursue higher cultivation. Before Lu Yuan's eyes appeared an illusory scene, as if he were placed in the vast, boundless universe.

He felt strong spiritual energy swirling around, his heart brimming with infinite anticipation and tension.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled slightly, pointing forward, "This is the Heavenly Eye Space, where you can sense a higher realm of cultivation in the illusory."

"Go in, explore bravely."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the Heavenly Eye Space.

In an instant, he felt himself turn into an intangible force, freely shuttling within this space.

Strong spiritual energy surged from all directions, enveloping Lu Yuan's entire body.

He half-closed his eyes, like a deeply rooted tree continually drawing nourishment from this vigorous spiritual energy.

Gradually, various wondrous scenes appeared in the Heavenly Eye Space.

A sea of colorful flowers blossomed beside Lu Yuan; when the wind rose, petals fluttered down.

Beautiful and mysterious divine beasts descended from the heavens, wandering around Lu Yuan's side.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor's voice echoed in this illusory space, "Lu Yuan, this is the place to elevate your cultivation path."

"Can you feel the strength of the spiritual energy?"

Lu Yuan pressed his lips together, his body slightly trembling, "Yes, Supreme Dao Ancestor."

"I feel an unprecedented power and energy flowing around me, freeing my state of mind from restraint."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor nodded, his tone full of encouragement, "Very good."

"In this Heavenly Eye Space, you will gain deeper insight and growth."

"Explore bravely, do not be misled by the fantastical scenes within."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, silently accepting the various scenes brought by this illusory world.

He gradually realized that cultivation in the Heavenly Eye Space is like a spiritual journey; each insight makes his inner resolve firmer.

He suddenly realized that when facing such powerful and evil forces as the Red Lotus Sect and Blood Moon Sect, relying solely on strength and weapons is far from enough.

The unity of heart and team is the true key to defeating the enemy.

Lu Yuan, aided by the wondrous scenes in the Heavenly Eye Space, gradually understood the importance of belief and state of mind. He took a deep breath, the firmness in his heart becoming ever more evident.

He opened his eyes, glanced at Su Liyan, King Qi, and Gu Qingwan beside him, feeling that their resolve matched his own.

"We must find a way to unseal and expel that ice-sealed woman."

Lu Yuan gripped the "Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword" tightly, his expression grave, "Otherwise, the Black Flame Sect's plot will succeed completely."

Su Liyan lightly brushed her hand over the "Ice Crystal Long Whip"; her eyes flashed with resolute light.

"Lu Yuan is right. We must counterattack and defend Tian Ting and countless innocent beings."

King Qi waved the "Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel" in his hand, his gaze steadfast.

"The Black Flame Sect is utterly evil; for the safety of Tian Ting, we will spare no effort."

Gu Qingwan chuckled softly, calmly saying, "Lu Yuan, I have a plan."

"We can go to the 'Bright Thunder Sword Institute' to seek a way to unseal and expel the ice-sealed woman."

"After all, it holds countless legacies and inheritances of martial arts predecessors."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, we will act according to your plan."

"Now our time is pressing; we must act swiftly."

Just as they were preparing to leave, suddenly, news came from the "Bright Thunder Sword Institute."

The Black Flame Sect already learned of their plan and began preparing to attack.

"So fast?" Su Liyan frowned.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled, his tone full of confidence: "They may think they can seize the opportunity to defeat you, but they do not know you are my disciples."

"You possess immense power and belief."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, facing the impending battle without fear.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor, please rest assured."

"We will defeat the Black Flame Sect and defend Tian Ting."

Su Liyan, King Qi, and Gu Qingwan all nodded in agreement.

Although they faced tremendous pressure and threat, their hearts were full of longing and confidence for victory.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled and nodded: "Very good."

"Now go to the 'Bright Thunder Sword Institute' to find a solution to the problem."

I will prepare the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to provide support for you.

The four bowed deeply, then quickly left the Supreme Dao Ancestor's residence, determined to go to the Bright Thunder Sword Institute. Lu Yuan and the Supreme Dao Ancestor came to a quiet academy, which is where the Supreme Dao Ancestor often goes to cultivate.

The academy was filled with potted landscapes of green pine and emerald bamboo, and a fragrant tea house overlooked a lake.

Lu Yuan sat on a soft chair, pondering what his next move should be.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor looked at Lu Yuan and smiled, saying, "Lu Yuan, I know you are thinking about how to find the Nine Heavens Frost Palace."

This place is virtually unknown; it is deeply hidden within the Black Flame Sect and sealed by extremely powerful ice magic.

Lu Yuan raised his head, his face full of confusion.

"Master, may I ask what the Nine Heavens Frost Palace is like?"

"How should we find it?"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor clasped his hands, recalling with lingering fear.

"The Nine Heavens Frost Palace is a vast ice mountain realm, the entire space was frozen."

"Besides its main body, it will leave no trace."

Upon hearing the Supreme Dao Ancestor's description, Lu Yuan's heart filled with challenge and confusion.

"Finding a place sealed so that it leaves no trace—seeking the Nine Heavens Frost Palace is no easy task."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor continued, "The power of the ice-sealed woman comes from the Nine Heavens Frost Palace." (End of chapter)
