"Heavenly Dao above, I, Chen Zhiyi, swear today that I will never reveal what is discussed..."

Seeing Xiao Shou take the oath without hesitation, Chen Zhiyi felt deeply grateful for his trust.

He could not help but feel ashamed of his earlier suspicion and behavior.

After Xiao Shou finished, he also made his oath to gain the trust of both Xiao Shou and Xiahou Bo.

Seeing that not only the Chen brothers, but even Xiao Shou who had the highest cultivation had sworn, Xiahou Bo felt he had no choice.

Even if he was reluctant, he still spoke.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Xiahou Bo..."

After all four had sworn, perhaps due to the effect of the oath, the distance and wariness between them lessened.

Only then did Chen Zhiyi continue,

"Now that the oaths are made, there should be a certain level of trust between us. I can now explain the matters concerning the White Silver Secret Realm to the two of you."

"When my brother gets tired, I will add the rest," Chen Qingzhi said from the side. "Please have a seat and listen. This matter is a bit complicated and will take some time to explain."

After Xiao Shou and Xiahou Bo sat down, the Chen brothers began recounting their past.

Before their parents passed away, Chen Zhiyi was already in his early twenties with a cultivation level at the tenth layer of Qi Refining.

Since he had no way to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, he could only continue cultivating and wait until reaching great perfection of Qi Refining to naturally break through.

Unexpectedly, his parents died suddenly, and at such a young age, he had to take on the responsibility of raising his younger siblings.

In order to continue his cultivation without delay while also supporting his family, he joined a team that hunted sea beasts.

At that time, without reaching Foundation Establishment, he was the lowest member of the group and was often used as bait.

In his second year of hunting, he was chased by a Tier 2 sea beast until he had nowhere to run.

His Water Avoidance Talisman was about to lose its effect.

With no other choice, he fled through a winding coral reef deep under the sea, twisting and turning countless times, until he reached a strange cave.

Although it was located at the bottom of the sea, there was not a single drop of water inside.

Though only at the tenth layer of Qi Refining, Chen Zhiyi still guessed that the cave likely had some kind of barrier similar to the effect of a Water Avoidance Talisman.

At that time, he was completely exhausted.

He decided to rest first, thinking that by the time he recovered, the sea beast would have left.

Then he could figure out a way to escape.

So he lay down and drifted into a hazy sleep.

He did not understand what was happening, only that in his dazed state, a dense fog seemed to rise within the cave.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he did not notice anything unusual at first.

But when he left the cave and encountered the Tier 2 sea beast still waiting to kill him, something changed.

At a critical moment, his vision suddenly shifted.

He saw another perspective.

The sea beast’s bones and internal organs appeared clearly before his eyes, including its fatal weakness.

Chen Zhiyi struck that weakness and successfully killed the beast.

Only then did he realize that he had

become different from ordinary people.

In that cave, he had somehow obtained a pair of eyes that could see through all things.

At first, he could not control this ability well.

His vision would work intermittently.

Later, he returned to the cave many times and discovered the pattern.

As long as he fell asleep inside the cave, dense fog would appear.

After the fog dispersed, his ability to control his eyes improved.

As he hunted more and more sea beasts, he no longer needed to join hunting teams and could hunt alone.

Several years passed like this.

By last year, he had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining and could fully control his special vision.

His younger brother, Chen Qingzhi, had also reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining, and Chen Yufei had grown to ten years old, able to take care of herself. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He wanted his younger brother to also possess a pair of special eyes, so he brought Chen Qingzhi to that cave.

However, perhaps due to differences in physique or insufficient talent, after several attempts, although Chen Qingzhi’s vision improved, he failed to awaken any special eye ability.

Feeling somewhat discouraged and believing himself untalented, Chen Qingzhi once woke up after the dense fog appeared again.

While looking around the cave, he asked Chen Zhiyi curiously.

The cave was not large and the entrance was filled with seawater.

So where did the fog that changed their eyes come from?

This was something Chen Zhiyi had also often wondered about but never found an answer.

Until Chen Qingzhi suggested that since his brother’s eyes could see through everything, he should try using them to search for the source of the fog.

Thus, at Chen Qingzhi’s suggestion, the two brothers eagerly began examining everything inside the cave with his vision.

At that time, however, Chen Zhiyi’s eye ability was far weaker than it was now.

He could only see through about a hundred meters at most.

Moreover, the rocks inside the cave were strange as if they could absorb his eye power.

After several attempts, his eyes became too fatigued to use and they found no results.

Still, they realized that the stones in the cave were unusual.

After that, each time they returned, they continued experimenting.

They repeated this process countless times.

Finally, several months later, Chen Zhiyi once again used his eyes out of habit.

To his surprise, after his eye power was absorbed by the rocks, he suddenly saw something beyond them.
