The bronze eye, which Li Shuang had been toying with without any reaction, was now emitting a soft, luminous glow.
Li Shuang's expression grew increasingly curious.
What exactly was going on with this thing?
Could it be related to her formation of the Golden Core?
Was it... a Soul Golden Core?
As Li Shuang was marveling, Su Mu's voice rang out.
He sounded slightly surprised: "You've actually formed a Soul Golden Core?"
Li Shuang's expression shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Su? Do you recognize this item?"
Su Mu nodded, and said in a low voice, "This item isn't particularly rare, especially in the Central Continent. Most talented disciples there are gifted with one. The reason I didn't recognize it at first is because it had been without a master for so long that it lost its spiritual essence. Just now, you formed a Soul Golden Core and established a peculiar connection with it, which reactivated this bronze eye."
"This is actually from the Central Continent?" Li Shuang grew even more astonished.
The Central Continent was undoubtedly a sacred land for cultivation, and many cultivators in the Southern Azure Continent grew up hearing legends about it.
However, the world was vast.
Surrounding the Central Continent were boundless seas. If cultivators from the four peripheral continents wished to travel to the Central Continent, they either needed an astonishing stroke of luck or the absolute strength to cross the boundless sea.
Both of these were extremely difficult.
The vast majority of cultivators could only live on their own continent their entire lives.
And this bronze eye actually originated from the Central Continent.
"Senior Su, do you know about this item? Did the founding patriarch also visit the Central Continent back then?" Li Shuang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Su Mu smiled: "He was such a lively character, how could he not go to the legendary sacred land of cultivation?"
The founding patriarch?
A lively character?
A glimmer of curiosity flashed in Li Shuang's eyes. Whether in legends or ancient texts, this patriarch was always depicted as a person of extraordinary talent. He led the Sword Sect to rise, leaving behind many legendary tales. But perhaps because he cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, in every story, he was portrayed as cold and taciturn.
Yet, Senior Su Mu said he was actually a lively character?
Su Mu didn't intend to continue this topic. He said calmly, "Since this bronze eye has been activated by you, it means you are fated with it. This item is merely a medium. Now that you possess a Soul Golden Core, you can achieve soul detachment, which is usually only possible at the Nascent Soul stage, ahead of time. You can use your soul power to bind this bronze eye."
Li Shuang nodded.
During her previous cultivation, she was far from being able to form a Soul Golden Core at this point.
This time.
It must be because she had undergone various changes, and her soul had been further tempered. On the other hand, she had also mastered soul techniques.
Under multiple factors, she had formed this Soul Golden Core and gained this opportunity.
From Senior Su's words, binding this bronze eye should not be a bad thing for her.
She could also get a glimpse of the daily lives of those geniuses from the Central Continent ahead of time!
Li Shuang placed the bronze eye in her palm. She used her soul power to touch the bronze eye. This item was probably truly fated with her, as the moment her soul power permeated it, the bronze eye shone brightly.
The next moment, a powerful suction force emanated from it.
Li Shuang's soul subtly showed symptoms of detaching from her body.
Li Shuang was immediately startled. What was happening?
Su Mu's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Relax. Go and see that world."
Li Shuang's mind settled, and she completely relaxed, allowing her soul to be drawn into the bronze eye.
After a slight dizziness.
As Li Shuang had just stabilized herself, various sounds reached her ears.
"I have a fifth-grade demon core freshly hunted. Anyone interested?"
"Look at mine! The bones of a seventh-grade Blazing Tiger! These are top-grade materials for making spirit wine."
"A mysterious inheritance! Only a thousand high-grade spirit stones, it just depends if you dare to gamble!"
The world suddenly became incredibly noisy.
Li Shuang looked ahead with some shock.
She first composed herself and assessed her current situation.
At this moment.
Her soul had entered this world, while her physical body remained in the secret chamber.
However.
She could perceive everything in the real world.
With a thought, a spirit stone appeared in Li Shuang's hand the next moment.
She had taken it from her storage bag.
Li Shuang's gaze grew even more peculiar.
She could actually bring things from the real world into this world! With a thought, Li Shuang brought in a jade slip.
"This is the City of Ten Thousand Laws," Su Mu's voice rang out. "Not everyone likes to be high-profile. The geniuses of the Central Continent all have their own secrets. They don't want their true identities to be known by others, so this City of Ten Thousand Laws came into being. In this city, everyone's face is obscured, and no one can know the other's identity. And transactions conducted here are protected by rules; no one can renege on them."
"So, over the years, the City of Ten Thousand Laws has become an important venue for transactions among the geniuses of the Central Continent. They exchange some unspeakable things in this place."
"At the same time, this place gathers many cultivators, each practicing their own methods, making it a base for discussing laws and doctrines. Many of the younger generation in the Central Continent like to stay in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, to see the people of the world and understand the laws of the world."
The City of Ten Thousand Laws!
To see the people of the world!
To understand the laws of the world!
Li Shuang looked at the incredibly vast city before her, her heart stirring slightly.
The Southern Azure Continent was remote, and she had always been called a genius there.
But.
What about once she reached the Central Continent?
What level was she truly at?
Before, these could only be guessed, but now, with this City of Ten Thousand Laws, she could truly get a glimpse of the realm of those true geniuses in the Central Continent!
"To enter this City of Ten Thousand Laws, the minimum requirement is to form a Soul Golden Core," Su Mu continued. "And the prerequisite for forming a Soul Golden Core is to at least master one soul technique."
Li Shuang walked through the bustling streets. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, hearing Su Mu's words still startled her.
She dared to say.
Among the young disciples within the Sword Sect, she was probably the only one who had formed a Soul Golden Core.
Even if the other five major sects combined, they might not find a second young disciple who had formed a Soul Golden Core.
But here?
Such a vast City of Ten Thousand Laws.
She had already seen hundreds, even thousands of people on her way here.
These people!
All of them had already formed a Soul Golden Core!
How terrifying was this.
The huge difference between the two continents was presented to Li Shuang in an incredibly intuitive way for the first time.
Li Shuang stopped in the middle of the street, listening to the incredibly lively sounds, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Geniuses of the Central Continent!
She was truly...
Very much looking forward to it!
