Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm, Howling Star.
This is a planet with a diameter of 0.7 light-years (roughly 6.6 quadrillion kilometers), covered by a light red mist, making it difficult to see the planet's surface environment.
The surface of Howling Star has countless canyon fissures that tear the planet apart, and light red smoke rises from each canyon, eventually forming the mist that envelops the entire planet.
Whoosh!
Ender, riding the Shadow Dragon spaceship, broke through the mist on the surface of Howling Star. Before he even landed on the dark red rock and soil, he seemed to hear faint cries and wails.
Woo...
The crying and wailing sounds were intermittent, becoming more continuous and clear as he approached the ground.
The Shadow Dragon spaceship landed on the ground, and Ender flew out of the cabin door, casually storing the spaceship in his world ring.
"The wailing sound on the surface of Howling Star is very faint. It is initially estimated that Universe Level individuals can ignore the wailing sound."
He listened carefully, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that this sound is a bit noisy..."
Indeed, the wailing sound of Howling Star is very noisy. As long as one is on this planet, one will inevitably be affected, as it is a sound that reaches the Soul, and even blocking perception cannot isolate it.
"The wailing sound on the surface is too weak. I need to go into the canyon. The deeper the canyon, the stronger the wailing sound."
Ender looked at a canyon entrance in the distance, "Let's start from this canyon."
Whoosh!
As space rippled, Ender instantly appeared above that canyon. A stronger wailing sound seemed to enter his ears, but in reality, it went straight to his Soul.
"The wailing sound is significantly stronger now, roughly requiring a Domain Master to withstand it."
After listening, he made a judgment, then his body fell downwards, "It's not enough, I need to continue deeper into the canyon."
Whoosh!
Ender's downward flight speed was not fast, flying at a speed of one kilometer per second into the depths of the canyon. Even after reaching the bottom of the canyon, which was tens of thousands of kilometers deep, he still felt that the wailing sound was not strong enough.
"The depth of this canyon is limited. The wailing sound can probably affect ordinary World Masters, but it won't have any training effect on the will of an Immortal."
As he spoke, he appeared above the canyon with spatial ripples, overlooking the surrounding dark red earth, "I need to find a deeper canyon."
"The environment of Howling Star is special, and the detector is severely interfered with. The detection radius of the large detector is only 100,000 kilometers."
Ender connected his consciousness to the detector and found that the large detector, which originally had a maximum detection radius of one billion kilometers, now had its detection range reduced to one ten-thousandth.
"Although the detection range is much smaller, it can still be used, which is much more efficient than searching with the naked eye."
He checked the detection results of the detector and found that the canyons within a 100,000-kilometer radius were not deep, with the deepest canyon being only 50,000 kilometers deep.
Seeing this, Ender flew close to the ground, constantly checking the depth of the surrounding canyons.
He flew for several minutes until he finally found a canyon whose bottom could not be detected by the detector.
"This canyon is good. Its depth exceeds 100,000 kilometers, which should have the effect of tempering the will."
Overlooking the bottomless canyon below, Ender swooped down.
As he flew downwards, his detector remained active, detecting several alien Immortal Cultivating in seclusion more than 100,000 kilometers into this canyon, presumably also to temper their will.
Whoosh!
As he flew downwards, Ender could feel the wailing sound, which reached his Soul, becoming increasingly powerful.
From the initial slight, unaffected state, to gradually making him feel irritable.
Whew!
Upon reaching 150,000 kilometers into the canyon, Ender stopped, looking at the endless dark red rock wall below, and thought to himself, "The wailing sound already has a certain impact. Let's stop here for now."
Through the detector, he found that there was no one living within tens of kilometers around, so he dug a cave in the rock wall and entered it to Cultivate in seclusion.
Sitting quietly in the cave, Ender could clearly hear the wailing sound constantly reaching his Soul, making him feel a persistent sense of irritation that did not dissipate.
It wasn't until he had been studying Law Secret Runes and Cultivating the Soul Secret Technique Eye of Distortion for several years, gradually adapting to the continuous wailing sound, that the irritation in his heart finally dissipated.
After Ender adapted to the wailing sound at 150,000 kilometers, he gradually moved deeper into the canyon, to 180,000 kilometers, 200,000 kilometers...
Each time he moved his residence, he had to adapt for one or several years, until he finally moved his residence to the bottom of the canyon, which was a century later.
...
At the bottom of the canyon.
When Ender arrived at the bottom of the canyon and built his cave, a King-level Immortal, who also had a cave Cultivating in seclusion at the bottom of the canyon, slowly opened his eyes.
This King-level Immortal was shaped like a turtle, with earthy brown skin. He didn't have a heavy turtle shell on his back, but rather rock-like armor.
"This canyon is 470,000 kilometers deep. To be able to go this deep into the canyon, one's Soul will must at least be at the King-level Immortal. It seems this newcomer is a King-level Immortal."
This King-level Immortal frowned and whispered, "The detector can't detect him, which means his detector is more advanced than mine. If it weren't for my innate ability to sense ground vibrations, I wouldn't have discovered him at all."
"I need to be prepared in case he disrupts the rules here..."
Although he was talking to himself, the voice of this King-level Immortal did not travel far, becoming silent after only half a meter.
...
When Ender arrived at the bottom of the canyon, he detected many King-level Immortal through his detector. These King-level Immortal were all quietly Cultivating in seclusion at the bottom of the canyon, clearly all tempering their will.
The wailing sound at the bottom of the canyon was very strong. Even with his Soul will comparable to a King-level Immortal, he was still slightly affected, feeling a hint of sadness.
"Interesting, are all the King-level Immortal here so friendly?"
After building his cave residence, he whispered to himself, "Or are they all tempering their will and have no intention of fighting here?"
Although he felt a little strange, he had no intention of fighting. His purpose in coming here was to temper his will, not to hunt alien King-level Immortal.
Thus, Ender Cultivated in seclusion and tempered his will at the bottom of the canyon, and in a blink of an eye, several years passed.
By this time, he had already Cultivated the Soul Secret Technique Eye of Distortion, which was worth 990,000 points, to Major Achievement, further enhancing his Soul attack defense.
"After Cultivating Eye of Distortion to Major Achievement, I need to switch to another Soul Secret Technique for Cultivation, preferably one worth hundreds of millions of points."
Ender's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe, searching for Soul defense Secret Method scriptures in the Virtual Universe Company's treasure trove.
"Myriad Soul Codex," "Soul Fiend Secret Method"...
He scanned through numerous Soul Secret Techniques worth hundreds of millions of points, and soon he found a Soul Secret Technique suitable for himself.
Void Annihilation Eye, the full set costs 80 billion points. (Primal Secret Realm 30% off, Absolute Beginning Secret Realm 20% off, Heaven and Earth Secret Realm 10% off, Last Phase Secret Realm full price, you can enjoy a 40% discount)
The first volume costs 8 million points...
The second volume costs 80 million points...
The third volume costs 800 million points...
The fourth volume costs 8 billion points...
The full set costs 80 billion points...
"Void Annihilation Eye..."
Ender read the detailed information of this Secret Method and said with some surprise, "This Secret Method is actually an advanced Secret Method of Eye of Distortion, and it's a Soul Secret Technique that includes attack, defense, and enslavement."
"If I had discovered this Secret Method earlier, I wouldn't have exchanged for the first volume of Moon Shadow Illusion Heart Secret Method back then."
At that time, he spent 210,000 points to exchange for the first volume of Moon Shadow Illusion Heart Secret Method.
Now that he has this Soul Secret Technique, which is in the same lineage as Eye of Distortion, he no longer needs to exchange for other Soul defense, attack, or even enslavement Secret Methods.
"Hmm? Cultivating Void Annihilation Eye still requires enduring immense pain!"
Ender frowned when he saw the end, "Do the powerhouses who created Eye of Distortion and Void Annihilation Eye enjoy tormenting themselves so much?"
Although Cultivating Void Annihilation Eye requires enduring pain, having Cultivated Eye of Distortion to Major Achievement, he couldn't give up this Soul Secret Technique that combines attack, defense, and enslavement.
After all, having endured so much pain to Cultivate Eye of Distortion to Major Achievement, if he were to switch to another Soul-type Secret Method, the pain he endured before would have been for naught.
"Cultivating in seclusion on Howling Star, the wailing sound is far less painful than Cultivating Soul Secret Techniques."
Under the 40% discount, he spent 480 million points to purchase the first three volumes of Void Annihilation Eye.
The next moment, three metal books, over fifty centimeters tall, were teleported into the study.
Looking at the three metal books with "Void Annihilation Eye" engraved on their covers, Ender comforted himself, "Cultivating this Secret Method will just be like tempering my will..."
Then, he opened the first volume of Void Annihilation Eye and began to read. After reading through the first volume, his consciousness returned to reality to Cultivate.
...
In the cave at the bottom of the canyon on Howling Star, the wailing sound reached Ender's Soul, attempting to influence his will.
As he began to Cultivate according to the Soul Secret Technique Void Annihilation Eye, the wailing sound had almost no effect on him. Instead, he felt the pain of Soul distortion.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the four Eye of Distortions, composed of countless black lines, rotated in opposite directions to their adjacent Eye of Distortions, like nesting dolls.
As the four Eye of Distortions rotated, the countless black lines changed, beginning to connect and transform, and the four Eye of Distortions were gradually undergoing Fusion...
Ender Cultivated Void Annihilation Eye in the cave, his Soul enduring immense pain, his muscles twitching slightly, and sweat dripping down in beads.
Because he had the Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor for protection, and the Dragon Awakening Spear to enhance his body's solidity, this allowed him to Cultivate the Secret Method in this relatively dangerous place, even with his miniature detector shielded.
...
Time flowed, and in a blink of an eye, several more years passed.
Ender had long since mastered the first volume of the Soul Secret Technique Void Annihilation Eye. The form of his Soul in his Sea of Consciousness had changed, transforming from four nesting-doll-like Eye of Distortions into a single, pitch-black eye that seemed capable of tearing apart others' Souls.
As he mastered Void Annihilation Eye, the wailing sound at the bottom of this canyon had weakened significantly in its influence on him, only causing him a slight irritation.
"After Cultivating in seclusion for a few more months, the wailing sound of this canyon will no longer affect me."
Ender sat cross-legged in the cave, whispering to himself, "Once I can ignore the wailing sound, I can move to a deeper canyon."
So, he Cultivated in seclusion for over a month, until...
Rumble!
Suddenly, the canyon roared, and the dark red rocks on the canyon walls began to fall amidst the roaring and shaking.
Crack...
Boom...
Chunks of dark red rock fell from both sides of the canyon, eventually landing at the bottom of the valley, which was over 400,000 kilometers deep.
This caused a significant accumulation of gravel and soil at the bottom of the valley within a few seconds, with more rocks and soil continuously falling from above.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the cave wall shake violently, Ender was surprised. He had been Cultivating in this canyon for over a hundred years and had never encountered such a situation.
Since he didn't know much about the situation on Howling Star, Ender turned on his detector to see if the many alien King-level Immortal Cultivating in seclusion at the bottom of the valley knew what was happening.
"What exactly is going on? Why is the canyon shaking?"
"I've been Cultivating in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this. What exactly happened?"
"Could it be a battle between powerhouses? That shouldn't be. King Fierce Rock strictly forbids powerhouses from fighting and killing in this canyon. How could anyone dare to violate the rules he set?"
"What happened? Let's go out and see..."
Through the detector, Ender heard the self-talk of several King-level Immortal and realized that they also didn't know what had happened.
However, with this investigation, he understood that the reason this canyon was so 'peaceful' was due to a rule set by a powerhouse, prohibiting fighting and killing in the canyon.
"King Fierce Rock?"
Ender whispered to himself, his consciousness searching in the Virtual Universe, and soon he had information about this powerhouse.
After finding the information about King Fierce Rock, he whispered to himself, "A rock-type life form, a member of the powerful Rock Armor Race, and also a Limit stage King-Level powerhouse. No wonder he can make so many King-level Immortal obey the rules he set."
"Although I've figured out why there are no powerhouses fighting in this canyon, why is the canyon shaking?"
Ender was still curious, "And the shaking is not small; it seems the entire Howling Star is shaking."
"Hmm... Let's go out and see."
With that, he flashed out of the cave and then directly used instant movement to leave the bottom of the canyon.
Buzz!
As space rippled, Ender appeared above the canyon, and the situation in the air at that moment made him realize, "So, it really is the entire Howling Star that is shaking."
At this moment, various forms of powerhouses were suspended in the sky, all looking down or gazing into the distance, seemingly all trying to find out why Howling Star was shaking.
Whoosh!
Just then, five streaks of light flew from afar, all moving extremely fast.
One streak of light was fleeing in front, and four streaks of light were in hot pursuit behind it. At the same time, spatial fluctuations appeared from afar.
Two King-level Immortal, exuding powerful auras, appeared in the air with spatial ripples, blocking the fleeing streak of light in front.
Seeing two King-level Immortal blocking the way ahead, the four streaks of light in hot pursuit hurriedly transmitted their voices, "King Crimson Wing, hand over the Soul-shaking Stone to us, and we can spare your life!"
As the words fell, countless powerhouses in the air showed shock…
T/L Note: Please be aware that I may have incorrectly referred to certain Arcana Treasures as Heavy Treasures in previous chapters. This is particularly relevant given that the Dragon Awakening Spear and Frost Armor are both Ordinary Arcana Treasures. Unfortunately, I do not currently have the capacity to revise multiple chapters over a handful of terms. The issue stems from the author's own inconsistent use of terminology — while earlier chapters made it clear he was referring to Heavy Treasures, the section I am currently translating specifies that only Arcana Treasures possess the ability to disguise themselves as Immortals. Should you encounter any mistranslations involving Arcana Treasures or Heavy Treasures in the future, please do not hesitate to point them out, and I will make the necessary corrections when time permits. I appreciate your patience, as I am balancing this work alongside regular full-time employment.
