Chapter 831: Chapter 364: Celestial Secret Tower (Part 2)

The Gold Attribute Puppet just stood there, without making any move. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"My attacks can’t touch the Gold Attribute Puppet?" Xu Ran was a little surprised.

His gaze once again fell on the Gold Attribute Puppet standing upon that Ancient Bronze Gate, his eyes turning.

"Could it be... this Ancient Bronze Gate?"

The white light on the Gold Attribute Puppet’s body had dimmed only after the Celestial Spirit Sword Array dissipated.

In other words, only when something emerging from the Ancient Bronze Gate was destroyed would the Gold Attribute Puppet suffer Damage.

Now that Xu Ran couldn’t attack it, it was also possible that the Ancient Bronze Gate was playing tricks?!

"Hmph!" Xu Ran snorted coldly. "Judging by this, at most three times, and the Gold Attribute Puppet’s body will be completely shattered!"

Just the shattering of the Celestial Spirit Sword Array alone had caused one-third of the white light on the Gold Attribute Puppet’s body to disperse, and cracks had appeared within its body.

Two more times, and it would probably be completely shattered.

The Gold Attribute Puppet seemed to understand the mockery in Xu Ran’s words and no longer merely stood there.

It half-crouched, pressed its hands together, and at once white light burst forth from its body, filling its entire form; at the same time, in those places where cracks had appeared, faint strands of white light also seeped out from within.

When the white light on its body reached its peak, the Gold Attribute Puppet placed both hands upon the Ancient Bronze Gate.

"Buzz!"

In that instant.

The light curtain that had been as calm as still water suddenly rippled, and within those ripples, it seemed as though something was about to emerge.

"This time, what will it be?"

Xu Ran was somewhat excited at this moment.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Array that had just appeared from within the Ancient Bronze Gate had allowed him to comprehend the Three Thousand Sword Dao, and he had fused it into the Immortal Sword Skill, his strength soaring. Given time, he could, with just a dead branch, sever heaven and earth.

This time, who knew what would appear, and whether it would once again greatly increase his strength?

Not only was Xu Ran full of expectation, the Soul Bodies outside the Dueling Arena were the same.

From the words of Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, one could tell that this Ancient Bronze Gate had absorbed the Divine Soldiers of great powers from the Ancient Times; no one knew how many coveted Divine Soldiers were contained within.

Even if it was only a projection, the Divine Power within it was enough to make them look up in awe.

This was a rare opportunity to witness Divine Soldiers that existed only in ancient texts.

How could they not be excited at such a chance?

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

...

As the ripples oscillated more and more violently, behind the light curtain, it seemed that nine golden balls of light had appeared; however, they had not yet fully emerged, and what lay within them could not be clearly seen.

At the same time, as Xu Ran stood before the Ancient Bronze Gate, he suddenly felt utterly ill at ease, as though everything about him had been completely seen through.

"Why do I feel as if everything about me is being watched?"

At once, Xu Ran’s eyes grew solemn.

To have such a feeling was clearly caused by the Ancient Bronze Gate; he just didn’t know what exactly was appearing this time that could make him feel this way.

Not only did Xu Ran have this Perception; the Soul Bodies outside the Dueling Arena felt the same.

The Little Junior Sister felt a strange sensation and, feeling uncomfortable all over, said, "What Divine Soldier is appearing this time?"

Second Senior Brother pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This feeling... it’s the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze of Celestial Secret Daoist!!"

Celestial Secret Divine Gaze!!

These four words instantly surfaced in everyone’s mind, and they suddenly understood. No wonder there was a feeling of being seen through; so it was the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze.

"Celestial Secret Daoist, is it that Celestial Secret Daoist who founded the Celestial Secret Tower?" Little Junior Sister asked.

"Yes!" At this moment, Senior Brother also spoke.

In the Ancient Times, capable figures emerged in great numbers, and those whose Dao had reached Perfection were countless. In that savage era, innumerable geniuses of outstanding talent opened up one Great Dao after another; the Cultivation Methods and Great Dao circulating in the world today were almost all created by people of the Ancient Times.

Among this multitude of capable figures, Celestial Secret Daoist was even more extraordinarily gifted, creating the path of Divine Calculation and proving himself a Great Power in the name of Divine Calculation.

Divine Calculation calculates the Dao of Heaven and is not tolerated by Heaven. Each act of Divine Calculation would deplete his lifespan and could even bring about great tribulations.

When Celestial Secret Daoist sought to prove his Dao, he had already performed Divine Calculation too many times and suffered backlash.

In order to succeed in proving his Dao, he gouged out his own eyes and, using the method of Divine Calculation, refined his eyes into the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze, hanging them upon the Celestial Secret Tower.

The Celestial Secret Divine Gaze could see through all illusions in the world, understand the principles of things, distinguish loyalty from treachery, and could even discern the flaws in a Cultivator’s Great Dao.

To make up for the backlash, Celestial Secret Daoist specifically perfected the Great Dao for Cultivators, precisely because of the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze.

Since the establishment of the Celestial Secret Tower, countless great powers have perceived their own flaws, perfected them, and thereby successfully proved their Dao.

The more great powers proved their Dao, the more feedback the Heavenly Dao granted. No one knew how many ages passed, but the Celestial Secret Tower had helped hundreds of great powers successfully prove their Dao.

When the crack in the sky appeared, the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze that hung upon the Celestial Secret Tower was taken down by Celestial Secret Daoist and once more fused into his eyes.

Regaining Light, Celestial Secret Daoist once again employed the path of Divine Calculation, and the four great words "Power of Annihilation" appeared in the sky.

Immediately, the immense backlash caused his body to explode outright, and the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze merged into the Great Dao. Only then did all Cultivators learn of the existence of the Power of Annihilation.

Celestial Secret Daoist could be said to be the most extensively recorded figure in ancient texts; even that Sword Dao Great Power who created the Immortal Sword Skill did not receive as much ink as Celestial Secret Daoist.

He willingly bore the backlash of the Great Dao to perform Divine Calculation for all Cultivators under heaven and reveal the existence of the Power of Annihilation.

It was also because the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze he refined fused into the Heavenly Dao that all Cultivators were able to see the culprit behind the appearance of the crack—Power of Annihilation.

If not for Celestial Secret Daoist, no one knew how much longer that dark era would have lasted.

Whenever Celestial Secret Daoist was mentioned, all the Soul Bodies grew solemn and reverent.

They were very clear on the contribution Celestial Secret Daoist had made!

"The Celestial Secret Divine Gaze can see through all illusions in the world and can also see the flaws in all Cultivators’ Great Dao. This trial will not be easy to pass!" Second Senior Brother sighed a little at this moment.

The potential Xu Ran had displayed before was flawless; his Body Technique, Divine Techniques, physical body, and Spiritual Power were all similarly flawless.

At the very least, with their current eyesight, they could not find any flaws in Xu Ran.

But under the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze, nothing could remain hidden. Even the flaws of a Great Dao could be seen—let alone a child not yet two years old.

...

"Buzz!"

The ripples within the light curtain of the Ancient Bronze Gate grew larger and larger, and those nine golden balls of light behind the curtain became increasingly clear.

"This... seems like nine eyes?"

From the faint outlines revealed, Xu Ran could roughly make out the scene within.

Nine eyes? What was this?

Just as Xu Ran was pondering.

"Pop!"

With a crisp sound, the light curtain of the Ancient Bronze Gate burst like a punctured bubble, shattering at once, and the thing behind the curtain was fully revealed before their eyes.

Just as Xu Ran had guessed earlier, they were indeed nine eyes.

These nine eyes gleamed with golden light, like nine rising suns, hanging high above in the sky.

Among them, eight eyes seemed to have molten gold poured into them, radiating a dazzling and scorching golden brilliance.

At the center of these eight eyes, the final eye appeared particularly different. It was like a golden gem endowed with life, pulsating with agility. With each pulse, it seemed to respond to some ancient and mysterious Power.

This eye was surrounded by an indescribable ancient aura, as if it came from the end of time, laden with the vicissitudes of ages and the weight of history.

At the end of the central eye, there were eight fine threads, connecting it to the other eight golden pupils.

The same was true of all nine pupils: they all emitted razor-sharp light. As they gazed at Xu Ran, they were like ancient judges, scrutinizing everything about him.

In their gaze, there was no emotion, no mercy, only absolute insight and ice-cold judgment!
