Immortality, starting from the heaven and earth.

Something's definitely not right.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Immortal Lord Ziyuan's gaze also darkened.

She looked up and saw that the once calm sea of ​​thunder had suddenly been churned into towering waves.

The giant wave was not ordinary seawater, but was formed from pure lightning power. With each roll, countless lightning snakes swam within it, emitting a heart-palpitating roar.

"wrong!"

At this moment, Thunder Immortal Lord's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

He formed hand seals, and the immortal boat beneath his feet suddenly erupted with a dazzling burst of lightning in an attempt to stabilize the vessel.

"The intensity of this lightning storm is several times stronger than previously anticipated!"

At the same time, Gao Boxianjun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He stood up from the deck, a faint golden light emanating from his body, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"This is no ordinary lightning storm!"

A strange light flashed in Ziyuan Immortal Lord's beautiful eyes. She looked at the distant sea of ​​thunder and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoists, look over there!"

Looking in the direction she was pointing, one could see a huge vortex slowly forming deep within the raging thunder.

The vortex seemed to connect heaven and earth, drawing in countless bolts of lightning and radiating a suffocating pressure.

"This is... the Thunder Eye!"

Thunder Immortal Lord gasped, his face instantly turning extremely ugly.

"How is this possible! Thunder Eyes only appear in the core area of ​​the Purple Origin Thunder Sea. This place is still several days' journey from the Thousand Blade Islands. How could a Thunder Eye suddenly appear here!"

Lin Yi's eyes flashed, and his immortal power flowed within him, ready to strike at any moment.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon the three of them.

Thunder Immortal Lord's shock seemed genuine, as did Gao Bo Immortal Lord's solemnity. Only Purple Source Immortal Lord's eyes seemed to hold a faint, almost imperceptible understanding.

In fact, I'm looking forward to it!
Could it be...?

Lin Yi recalled his previous conversation with Immortal Lord Ziyuan.

The appearance of this lightning eye is probably related to the secret realm that Immortal Lord Ziyuan mentioned earlier.

Or perhaps it's related to the group of monks who entered this place before them.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things!"

"Immortal Lord Gao Bo said in a deep voice."

"Once the Thunder Eye is formed, the power of thunder within a radius of ten thousand miles will be drawn to it. At that time, even with the protection of the immortal ship, we will still face great risks."

We must break out of this area before it fully takes shape!

"It's too late."

Ziyuan Immortal Lord shook her head. Her voice remained calm, but the content of her words caused the other two to change their expressions again.

"Sense carefully, the area we are in has been sealed off by the power of the Thunder Eye."

Lin Yi's mind stirred, and his divine sense quietly probed out.

really.

The surrounding space had become incredibly still, as if an invisible barrier had trapped them there.

Damn it!

Thunder Immortal Lord gritted his teeth and said.

"Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, do you have any ideas?"

His gaze was fixed on Immortal Lord Ziyuan, clearly indicating that he had already sensed something.

After pondering for a moment, Immortal Lord Ziyuan suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you remember what I said before?"

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean a secret realm?"

"good."

Immortal Lord Ziyuan nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, the appearance of this Thunder Eye is related to the opening of that secret realm."

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well go with the flow.

"Go with the flow?"

Immortal Lord Gao Bo frowned.

"Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, what do you mean?"

"Enter the Thunder Eye."

The Purple Source Immortal Lord made a startling statement.

"To be honest, the reason I came here is twofold: first, to search for the Purple Marrow Thunder Essence Liquid, and second, for the secret realm within it."

Although the Thunder Eye is dangerous, it is the fastest shortcut to that secret realm.

Normally, I would only have a 30% chance of opening the gap in the secret realm.

But now that the Thunder Eye has formed, it has given us an opportunity.

"What opportunity?"

Thunder Immortal Lord pressed for an answer.

"The core of the Thunder Eye is where the entrance to the secret realm is located."

Ziyuan Immortal Lord looked at the vortex in the distance, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"I only just confirmed this myself."

Those cultivators who entered this place before us have probably already entered the secret realm.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

He finally understood why Immortal Lord Ziyuan had been so certain before.

It turned out that she already knew that the entrance to that secret realm would open when the Thunder Eye appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, how confident are you?"

Lin Yi asked.

Ziyuan Immortal Lord glanced at him and said softly.

"Given the current situation, with the help of three fellow Daoists, I am fifty percent confident that I can lead you all safely into the secret realm."

50%.

This number is exactly the same as the "50%" she mentioned before.

But Lin Yi knew that this 50% was not the same as that 50%.

"It seems that this Immortal Lord Ziyuan knows far more about the secret realm before us than he appears to."

Lin Yi thought to himself.

"Boom!"

The distant lightning eye grew increasingly violent, and the vortex began to spread, with thick bolts of lightning striking out from it, tearing countless cracks in the surrounding void.

"Fellow Daoists, time is running out."

The voice of the Purple Source Immortal Lord remained calm.

"Whether you come with me into the secret realm or stay here to fight against the Thunder Eye, the decision is yours."

Thunder Immortal Lord and Gao Bo Immortal Lord exchanged a glance, both seeing the struggle in each other's eyes.

Entering the Thunder Eye is a matter of life and death.

But staying here to fight against the Thunder Eye is also a matter of life and death.

"I'll go with you."

Immortal Lord Gao Bo spoke first.

He grinned, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

"We still have some time, so why don't you tell me more about that secret realm, Fellow Daoist Ziyuan?"

Thunder Immortal Lord shook his head, appearing very composed.

Ziyuan Immortal Lord did not answer, but only looked at Lin Yi.

"Although I am also interested in the secret realm, I still want to learn more about it before stepping into it."

Lin Yi remained silent for a moment before speaking.

His gaze subtly swept over Immortal Lord Gao Bo. This man had agreed so readily, either because he knew something about the secret realm before him, or because he had already spoken with Immortal Lord Zi Yuan.

Ziyuan Immortal Lord's beautiful eyes flashed, and after scanning the three people, she raised her hand and took out three jade slips.

"That secret realm is the core of this sea of ​​lightning."

While the three were examining the jade slip, Immortal Lord Ziyuan began to recount the events one by one.

"Let's go."

After a moment, Lin Yi said calmly.

"Now that we've come this far, I, Lin, would also like to see what mysteries that secret realm holds."

Immortal Lord Ziyuan smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.

"In that case, fellow Daoists, please follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling celestial light suddenly erupted from her body, and she transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards the raging eye of lightning.

Thunder Immortal Lord and Gao Bo Immortal Lord exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation.

Lin Yi stood on the immortal boat, watching the three figures disappear into the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.

"The secret realm of Taihao Leizu, is it?"

He murmured softly.

"We'd like to see what's hidden inside."

The next moment, he flashed and transformed into a beam of immortal light, disappearing into the sky full of lightning.

Inside the Thunder Eye, instead of the imagined place of destruction, there was an eerie silence.

Lin Yi's figure weaved through the lightning, protected by a faint layer of immortal light, blocking all the lightning power that was enough to tear apart a Xuanxian at the peak of cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a man of great hidden talent."

The voice of Immortal Lord Ziyuan came from ahead. She turned around and glanced at the special lightning around Lin Yi, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"To be so composed in the eye of lightning, even a fellow cultivator of the Way of Lightning would probably not be able to do it."

Upon hearing this, Thunder Immortal Lord's expression stiffened slightly. He was indeed struggling.

Although he was known for his mastery of thunder, the thunder power in his Thunder Eye was too violent and contained a special law fluctuation, which greatly reduced the power of his thunder immortal techniques.

In contrast, Gao Boxianjun seemed much more relaxed.

His body shone with golden light, and his flesh moved through the lightning, managing to withstand it with sheer physical strength.

"Something's wrong with this lightning eye."

Immortal Lord Gao Bo suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping around as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Have you noticed that although the lightning power here is violent, it seems to follow a certain pattern?"

Lin Yi's eyes flashed.

He noticed it too.

These lightning bolts did not rage randomly, but flowed along a specific trajectory, as if guarding something.

"Because this place is originally a formation."

The voice of Immortal Lord Ziyuan came.

"Before his fall, Taihao Leizu used his supreme magical power to set up this great formation to protect his place of inheritance."

"Taihao Leizu!"

Thunder Immortal Lord gasped.

"That Great Luo Immortal King from the ancient Celestial Court era?"

"Exactly."

Immortal Lord Ziyuan nodded.

"This is where he is buried."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding thunder suddenly surged violently.

Lin Yi looked up and saw a huge portal slowly emerging in the void in front of him.

The portal was formed entirely of lightning, and countless intricate runes were carved on it. Each rune was flashing with dazzling lightning and exuding a chilling pressure.

"Entrance to the secret realm!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Gao Boxianjun's eyes.

"It actually exists!"

"wrong."

Thunder Immortal Lord's expression changed.

"Look there!"

He pointed to one side of the portal, where the lightning runes showed obvious signs of being broken, as if they had been forcibly broken open.

"Someone got here before us."

Immortal Lord Ziyuan remained calm, as if he had expected this.

"Those cultivators who entered this place before us, they really came here for this place."

"What do we do now?"

Immortal Lord Gao Bo frowned.

"If they get there first, the treasures inside will be gone."

"Not urgent."

Immortal Lord Ziyuan shook his head.

"The inheritance of the Great Thunder Ancestor is not something that can be obtained so easily."

Even if they go in, they might not come out alive.

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lin Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, just how much do you know?"

His gaze was fixed on Immortal Lord Ziyuan.

“You have been guiding us since we entered this place.”

The appearance of the Thunder Eye, the entrance to the secret realm, even the identity of the Great Thunder Ancestor… you seem to know all of this.

Upon hearing this, both Thunder Immortal Lord and Gao Bo Immortal Lord's expressions changed slightly, and their gazes toward Purple Source Immortal Lord became more wary.

Immortal Lord Ziyuan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed perceptive."

She said softly.

"Yes, I do know some things."

She paused, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Because my master was once a disciple of Taihao Leizu."

Upon hearing this, both Thunder Immortal Lord and Gao Bo Immortal Lord's expressions changed.

Lin Yi's gaze also sharpened.

"Before his death, Master left behind a jade slip containing all the information about this place."

Ziyuan Immortal Lord continued.

"She knew her own limitations and had no hope of entering this place in this lifetime, so she placed her hopes on me."

She only cautioned me that I shouldn't try it unless I was absolutely certain.

"Then why?"

Immortal Lord Gao Bo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Because I don't have any more time."

Ziyuan Immortal Lord gave a bitter smile.

"My primordial spirit has encountered some problems; if I don't break through to the Nirvana Realm soon..."

The Purple Source Immortal Lord did not say anything more, and the three people present exchanged glances but did not pursue the matter further.

"Since Fellow Daoist Ziyuan's master left behind a jade slip, did it record what dangers this secret realm holds?"

Thunder Immortal Lord asked.

Immortal Lord Ziyuan nodded.

"The jade slip records that before Taihao Leizu perished, he left a wisp of his remnant soul here."

Although that remnant soul lacked the power it possessed in life, it was still the remnant soul of a Great Luo Immortal King, far beyond our ability to contend with.

"A remnant soul!"

Immortal Gao Bo gasped.

"Wouldn't going in be suicide?"

Not entirely.

Immortal Lord Ziyuan shook his head.

"That remnant soul slumbers in the deepest part of the secret realm. As long as we don't step into that place, we won't disturb it."

Moreover, the jade slip also records a side hall where some elixirs and immortal treasures refined by the late Taihao Leizu are stored.

The Purple Marrow Thunder Essence Liquid is very likely located there.

"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"

A hint of eagerness flashed in Thunder Immortal Lord's eyes.

"Go in!"

Ziyuan Immortal Lord looked at Lin Yi.

"What does Fellow Daoist Lin think?"

"Now that we're here, we should go in and take a look."

Lin Yi's eyes flickered.

He wanted to see what this Great Luo Immortal King, who was on par with the Creation Immortal King, had left behind.

"Walk."

Without further hesitation, Immortal Lord Ziyuan flew towards the portal first.

The four transformed into four streaks of light, passing through the thunderous portal one after another.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

This is a vast space filled with floating lightning energy, which condenses into various shapes. There are lightning dragons, lightning phoenixes, and lightning beasts, all lifelike, wandering in the void.

In the distance, palaces could be vaguely seen floating amidst the thunder, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

"This is the secret realm of the Great Thunder Ancestor."

Thunder Immortal Lord murmured, his eyes filled with shock.

"careful!"

Suddenly, Immortal Lord Gao Bo let out a low shout and flashed to block the crowd.

Suddenly, the thunder beasts that had been wandering around stopped moving and turned to look at them.

Those eyes, formed from lightning, gleamed with a cold light.

"Roar!"

It's unclear which thunder beast roared first, but the next moment, dozens of thunder beasts pounced at the same time.

"kill!"

Thunder Immortal Lord snorted coldly, made a hand seal, and bolts of lightning shot out from his hands, colliding with the thunder beasts.

Immortal Lord Gao Bo was equally unyielding. His body shone with golden light as he charged directly into the horde of thunder beasts, blasting them into pieces with each punch.

Lin Yi did not make a move.

His gaze fell upon the largest palace in the distance.

The palace was made entirely of lightning crystal, radiating a dazzling purple light. Even from this distance, one could feel the terrifying power of lightning contained within it.
