Clutching the Teleportation Talismans that Qi Tian had given them, Li Xinshuang and the others were at a loss. They did not understand why Qi Tian would give them the talismans at this time. Was he trying to send them away, or was it a test? If they made the wrong choice, how would Qi Tian punish them?

Qi Tian waved his hand and said, “Continuing to stay with me here is highly inappropriate. Should another powerful individual like Shi Haoyuan emerge and spot you with me from a distance, no amount of explanation after you leave will convince anyone of your innocence. The best choice now is for you to leave immediately, stop lingering in the secret realm. Crush the Teleportation Talisman, hurry and go, leave the secret realm and return to your respective sects or families. Although you have become my Immortal Slaves, I will not control you as one does actual slaves. Once you are back, you can go about your business with peace of mind. I only hope that when I visit your Holy Lands in the future, you will remember the favor of today.”

Li Xinshuang and the others exchanged glances, understanding the unspoken meaning behind Qi Tian’s words—they knew that Qi Tian would definitely come for them in the future, asking for their help, but not in a way that would leave no room for maneuver.

Their feelings were complex, uncertain whether to be grateful to Qi Tian for saving face, or resent him for robbing them of their freedom by making them Immortal Slaves.

After receiving Qi Tian’s clear statement, Li Xinshuang and the others crushed the Teleportation Talismans before him, one by one, leaving the secret realm and withdrawing from the conflict between the two Holy Lands.

Qi Tian looked around. First, he collected the Ghost Face, colored glaze sand, and other items. Then, wielding his flying sword, he circled the area for dozens of miles and quickly found the body of Li Zizhuo, who had been killed. This was within his expectations, but when he actually saw Li Zizhuo’s mutilated corpse, Qi Tian still felt saddened.

There was a time when the Nascent Soul Masters were esteemed figures in his eyes. Yet today, Qi Tian had controlled nine Nascent Soul Masters and killed three, including Shi Haoyuan who was at the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage. All of this deeply impressed upon Qi Tian a sober understanding of the cultivation journey—long and interminable, with the Nascent Soul Stage being just one marker along the way. Beyond lay more treacherous paths to tread, and should one falter on this journey, they could end up like Li Zizhuo, Shi Haoyuan, Song He, and others—slain like chickens or dogs, beheaded and left headless.

Qi Tian sighed deeply and collected Li Zizhuo’s corpse, planning to find an opportunity to return the body to his friends and family for a proper burial after going back.

After that, Qi Tian began to search for the other companions in his group, but to no avail. He didn’t know if they had been annihilated or had seen the bad situation and left the secret realm. Regardless of the reason, Qi Tian decided not to waste more time on this matter, as he had more important things to do.

Qi Tian had entered this secret realm ostensibly to help Wanjie City vie for ownership. The Mansion Master had told him that if the secret realm were to fall under Wanjie City’s control, then the National Master Manor would obtain a certain share within it.

On this point, Qi Tian had no doubts. However, the Mansion Master had not mentioned that if he were to help outsiders seize the secret realm, a part of the National Master Manor’s share would be passed on to him. In other words, Qi Tian might exert a great effort in this struggle and end up with nothing in the end.

Qi Tian planned to wander around, to see if there was a chance to explore the secret realm. If he found any natural treasures particularly suitable for him, he would not mind claiming them as his own. Of course, Qi Tian did not forget his duty—if he encountered any isolated opponents, he would not pretend he hadn’t seen them; he would still try to drive them out of the secret realm.

Just as Qi Tian was about to fly out with the flying sword, he suddenly thought of Song He. If Song He could see his movements from hundreds of miles away, did that mean there were similar individuals in the secret realm? If there weren’t, that would be the best scenario, but if there were, that could pose a big problem.

The best way to be certain was to ask Song He, except Song He had already died and couldn’t come back to life.

Qi Tian took out Song He’s Storage Bag, erased the Divine Sense Song He had left on it, and began to search through the Storage Bag, hoping to find some clues.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao Engine, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly conveyed a very strong consciousness to Qi Tian. It seemed that there was something in the Storage Bag that especially interested the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian hurriedly followed the instructions of the Heavenly Dao Engine and found a small box the size of a palm from Song He’s Storage Bag.

After opening the small box, two items were revealed: a small bottle containing half a bottle of liquid, about the size of half a palm, and a jade slip which was smooth and polished, showing its patina.

The Heavenly Dao Engine conveyed its consciousness to Qi Tian once more, desiring to devour the small bottle with the liquid but showing no interest in the jade slip.

Qi Tian didn’t know what treasure the half bottle of liquid held, but he soothed the Heavenly Dao Engine, asking it to be patient. He promised to give it the liquid but said it would have to wait a bit.

Afterward, Qi Tian took the jade slip and began to check what was recorded inside.

After a long moment, Qi Tian withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip with a shocked expression on his face.

Recorded within the jade slip was a cultivation technique specifically for cultivating one’s eyes. After cultivation, one could extend their vision to hundreds of miles away, like Song He had, and in extreme situations, possibly exceeding a thousand miles, becoming a true Thousand-Mile Eye.

To cultivate into a Thousand-Mile Eye, aside from the technique itself, the cultivator needed a natural talent in that area. Otherwise, the effort would be in vain. Additionally, a special kind of treasure was required for assistance; this treasure was the liquid contained in the bottle.

This was a Treasure Liquid concocted from an extremely precious herb known as Clear Sight Grass, mixed with several other equally precious natural treasures and refined. While cultivating the Thousand-Mile Eye Skills, dropping this Treasure Liquid into one’s eyes could double the efficacy. Without using this liquid, cultivation would become extremely difficult. Furthermore, even after successfully cultivating the Thousand-Mile Eye, one needed to occasionally drop this liquid into one’s eyes. Otherwise, the eyes would become dry and sore from gazing into the distance for extended periods, which would affect the performance of the Thousand-Mile Eye.
