Bamboo Mound

“That’s right,” Ge Shu nodded.

"If your eyes are indeed the Eyes of Truth, then when you approach the stone, it will inevitably produce an unusual phenomenon, possibly resulting in you being sucked into it directly."

If it weren't for the Eye of Truth, a red light would flash around the stone. In that case, you wouldn't need to worry about it anymore; just forget about it.

As for the third scenario... if the stone doesn't change at all, it means you don't have heterochromia, but rather a special kind of spiritual eye.

"Heterochromatic eyes? What kind of category is that?" Ning Changzai always heard novel terms from Ge Shu.

"It's a bit complicated to explain. In short, the Spirit Eye is incomplete and cannot be called a heterochromatic eye. Compared to those heterochromatic eyes with names, the Spirit Eye only has a slight ability that is different from the ordinary naked eye."

"For example, farsightedness, spirit perception, and object recognition. Some of the more special ones can be activated by spiritual power to reveal additional functions, but they are ultimately not considered heterochromatic eyes."

Ge Shu clearly didn't want to say too much, so he gave a haphazard explanation and urged Ning Chang to step forward for the test.

"Moreover, once this matter is settled, I will fetch you a classic text whose contents can answer all your questions. However, if you pass the test, you will not need to learn about these things anymore."

"Ok."

Ning Chang took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the marble slab, but she didn't have much expectation in her heart.

Even if he succeeded, he did not crave the inheritance above the Transformation Realm, because apart from the protective magic treasure, he believed he lacked nothing; he just needed time to cultivate.

He slowly lifted his foot and flew down into the sinkhole. He said he wasn't looking forward to it, but his heart kept racing as he got closer to the marble.

As Ning Chang approached, the once calm marble began to tremble slightly, emitting wisps of powerful yet gentle spiritual energy!

In Ning Chang's eyes, it was as if the blazing sun had suddenly risen from the dark sinkhole, appearing exceptionally dazzling!

Immediately afterwards, the center of the marble slowly cracked open, revealing a deep black passage. A powerful suction force emanated from the passage, as if it wanted to swallow Ning Chang whole!

At this point, he had only gotten halfway there.

"It seems the 'Insightful Eyes of Truth' is indeed confirmed, but is this a normal phenomenon?!"

He turned around, wanting to ask Ge Shu for his opinion, but the moment he turned around, the suction seemed to sense his hesitation and suddenly increased its strength. Ning Chang subconsciously tried to steady himself, but found that he could not resist the suction at all. He was instantly pulled into it without any defense!

Until the very last moment before entering the marble, the blurred vision could no longer find Ge Shu's figure at the edge of the sinkhole.

Upon entering the marble area, Ning Chang felt enveloped by a mysterious power. The scenery before his eyes rapidly changed, countless lights and shadows flashed by, and strange sounds filled his ears—like ancient whispers, the clatter of earth and stone, or a mysterious summons, the flapping of wings...

As the light and shadow shifted, and the feeling of weightlessness persisted, a familiar terror welled up inside...

He thought of that empty, boundless starry sky again!

Realizing this, he had no choice but to close his eyes tightly, concentrate, and try to stop his trembling body to stay awake and resist the dizziness and oppression brought by this unknown force.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Chang suddenly felt his body become heavy, the power that had been enveloping him disappeared without a trace, and the feeling of weightlessness and falling became more and more intense!

The faint light and the continuous strange sounds that had entered the pupils through the eyelids had all disappeared, leaving only the whistling wind in the ears!

These combined sensations caused him to overlook the most illogical part: not a single wisp of wind was blowing against him!

He subconsciously tried to circulate his spiritual power to slow down his descent, only to find that he could not mobilize any spiritual power inside or outside his body!

Even the core of the Azure Bamboo hanging at his waist has lost contact!

"I can't just fall to my death like this, can I?" Countless doubts arose in Ning Chang's mind.

Half a minute has passed since the mysterious force disappeared and I started falling, and it seems there's still a higher distance to go.

He didn't think that his physical strength, which was only at the Spirit Platform Realm, was enough to withstand a fall from such a height. Moreover, he hadn't paid attention to physical training, and his physical strength was far inferior to that of an ordinary Spirit Platform Realm cultivator!

Moreover, if what Ge Shu said is true, the master of this secret realm is looking for a legacy, so there is no reason for him to trap cultivators who meet the requirements to enter.

"Could it be that this person is planning to possess another's body?!"

"If it's really necessary, then I'll send it here..."

After a while of his random thoughts, another half minute passed. Helpless, he crossed his arms in front of his eyes, trying to block out the non-existent gale, and slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he experienced weightlessness, falling, and endless wind—everything came to an abrupt end!

The sudden change in his senses made him momentarily lost in thought, as if the feeling of being grounded had never disappeared!

"Hah... Phew~ Is this an illusion..." Ning Chang lowered his arms and began to observe his surroundings.

In this equally boundless secret realm, the dense spiritual energy, almost like tangible mist, slowly flows through the air!

With just breathing, his cultivation level began to slowly rise!

The rolling land stretches to the horizon, with no distant mountains or trees in sight, only short grass covering the entire earthy landscape.

Small, irregularly sized pebbles floated in mid-air, with no discernible pattern.

Instead of the sun, moon, and stars, the sky was filled with a vibrant, multicolored light against a backdrop of azure blue. These lights intertwined to create a series of dreamlike and fantastical scenes!

Ning Chang was looking around suspiciously when suddenly a gentle breeze came from behind him, but he couldn't feel any temperature.

He instinctively turned around, and a colossal object suddenly burst into his field of vision just a few meters away!

A magnificent, illusory hall stood silently there, like a dream, as if it had slowly emerged from ancient times!

At first glance, the main hall looked as if it were painted with five-colored light in the sky, but after he stared at it for a few moments, all the colors faded, leaving only a bluish-gray tone, but still accompanied by a few specks of brilliance, exuding an ancient and profound aura!

The eaves soar high, like an eagle spreading its wings to take flight, with faint glimmers of light at the edges, as if adorned with fragments of stars!

The palace gates are tall and wide, and it is impossible to tell what material they are made of. They are covered with intricate and exquisite patterns, arranged in neat rows, as if they were ancient epics, recording unknown past events!

"Is this the place..."

Ning Chang walked casually toward the main hall, each step firm and even, but his heart began to race.
