After cleaning up the building to the best of his abilities, Yuan left the place and returned to the dark and ominous world outside.
He turned to look at Invincible Heaven for a moment and said, "The City of Xian has been split into many pieces, but we can use it to determine our location within the Shadow Realm. The Invincible Heaven was built in the city's center, but it was pushed further east when we expanded the city, so we're near the eastern side of the Shadow Realm."
Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the first city he encountered when he entered the Shadow Realm before.
"That part of the city was toward the western gate, so we'll have to travel west if we want to have a higher chance of encountering those two God Ascension realm souls."
Now that he had a sense of direction, Yuan no longer hesitated and started flying toward the west.
As he reached the end of the city and neared the Banished Souls, Yuan heard a familiar noise and shifted his gaze to look at the notification.
<You have unsealed 'Evil God's Celestial Shackles'>
Yuan suddenly felt his body getting lighter, as if an invisible boulder had been lifted from his shoulders.
'Celestial Shackles…? What is that?' Yuan raised an eyebrow at this notification, as he'd never seen anything like this before.
However, it implied that he had been restricted by something, which had been unsealed when he fully regained the Evil God's memories. With that said, while he's fully regained Tian Xian's memories, he has yet to fully regain Tian Yang's memories even though Tian Xian already did.
As Yuan pondered about the implications of this unsealing, more notifications appeared.
<You have met the criteria to learn 'Immortal Qi'>
<Your understanding of Immortal Qi has significantly increased>
<You have met the criteria to learn 'Celestial Qi'>
<Your understanding of Celestial Qi has slightly increased>
<You have met the criteria to learn 'Heaven's Supremacy'>
<You have received a Unique Quest>
[Quest: ???]
[Difficulty: Impossible]
[Quest Description: Complete the following trials to acquire the approval of Heaven's Supremacy]
[1. Defeat a Cultivator who is at least nine realms above you without using Heaven's Supremacy]
[2. Defeat a Magical Beast that is at least nine realms above you without using Heaven's Supremacy]
[3. Break your mortal shackles and become a True Immortal]
[4. Defeat 100,000,000 enemies]
[5. Attain an unbreakable will]
Yuan's eyes widened with shock upon seeing the requirements for the trials. Even a top cultivation genius seen only once every thousand years would have trouble defeating an opponent who is an entire realm stronger, yet he had to defeat someone nine entire realms stronger than himself.
The second trial that required him to defeat a magical beast nine realms above his own was even more difficult, as magical beasts are naturally stronger than human cultivators.
As for the third and most time-consuming trial, he had to evolve his physique before he could even break through Spirit King, and even if his cultivation resumed its progress, it could take decades for him to reach True Immortal.
The fourth trial simply required him to defeat opponents, but the number needed was massive, to say the least.
The fifth and last trial was too vague to gauge its difficulty.
'Heavens! Do I have to fulfill all of these ridiculous requirements before I can use Heaven's Supremacy?!' he cried inwardly.
While Heaven's Supremacy was undeniably an incredibly powerful—even unrivaled—technique, the prerequisites to employ it were simply staggering.
'How did I even manage to use Heaven's Supremacy before I fulfilled these requirements, anyway? Did it deliberately give me a brief taste of its peerless prowess just to mess with me like this?' he sighed.
However, while these trials may seem outrageous at first glance, perhaps even impossible in the eyes of most if not everyone besides Yuan, he did not immediately give up and only found it 'difficult' even with his advantages.

After regaining the Evil God's memories, Yuan's soul and demeanor underwent a profound transformation. Yet, even with his vast and unfathomable experience, Yuan desperately clenched onto his own personality and character.Naturally, since he'd only lived for barely 2 decades in comparison to Tian Xian, who had tens of thousands of years of experience, not to mention Tian Yang and the other incarnations, Yuan's own experience was insignificant, akin to that of a single grain of sand in a vast desert.
This made it incredibly difficult if not outright impossible for Yuan to remain unchanged, but he still managed to hold onto his core values and identity.
As Yuan stood at the edge of the city, he silently gazed toward the direction of his destination with an ominous feeling in his guts.
'If I flew toward the western region directly, I would have to pass the central region, where some of the most dangerous and powerful Banished Souls exist…'
The Shadow Realm existed even before the Evil God's birth, and Tian Xian himself had traversed the world several times during his life. However, while there were not as many Banished Souls as in the current era, most of the expert souls resided near the center of the Shadow Realm, as it contained more spiritual energy, allowing them to preserve their souls and sanity a little better.
Moreover, since there was only so much space in the central region, the weaker souls were forced to live elsewhere, where their souls deteriorated much quicker.
'In my current state, I'd be simply marching toward my grave if I approached the central region, so I need to circle around it…'
Since he was closer to the northern region than the southern region, Yuan eventually approached the northern region of the Shadow Realm.
When Yuan entered the Banished Souls' territory, despite not exuding his Soul Strength, none of the souls there approached him, almost as though they were afraid of him.
Yuan observed this change and wondered if it had anything to do with his strengthened soul, which was naturally exuding the aura of an ancient expert that could only be detected by the Banished Souls.
However, he didn't complain and soared toward the next city with extreme speed.
