Zhao Letian could sense that although the power of those three ghosts was terrifying, they all had the same fear of the Corpse Ape.
With the Corpse Ape present, they wouldn't dare to cause any mischief.
Spurting his Essence Blood onto the Ghost King Stele once more deepened the connection between him and the stele, instantly strengthening his control over the three ghosts substantially.
Sure enough, the three ghosts immediately issued submissive whines and bowed their heads to Zhao Letian.
"That's more like it. Serve me well, and perhaps in a few years, I could release you from the Ghost King Stele's bindings and return your freedom. Otherwise, should you dare defy me again, I will ensure your souls scatter and you never transcend—back to the stele with you!"
Zhao Letian coldly surveyed the three powerful ghosts and sternly commanded.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise and joy appeared in the blood-red eyes of the three ghosts.
Trapped within the Ghost King Stele for who knows how many years, they had seen many masters.
Yet, apart from Zhao Letian, none had ever considered granting them freedom to leave the Ghost King Stele.
Therefore, even though Zhao Letian did not specify when he would grant them freedom, to them, it was already an unprecedented great hope. This соntеnt is hоstеd аt М|V|LЕ^МРYR.
With this, the idea of rebelling against Zhao Letian greatly diminished in their minds, and they obediently returned to the Ghost King Stele following his order.
After reining in the three strong ghosts, the eerie ghostly fog on the Ghost King Stele quickly receded, splitting back into two tombstones.
"How strange, Bloodline Power usually grows stronger as a Martial Artist's cultivation increases. How could my merely True Martial Eighth Realm Bloodline Power possibly summon ghosts as formidable as those at the Sect Martial Ninth Realm?"
Zhao Letian put away the Ghost King Stele and sat cross-legged on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.
Could it be due to the rank of the bloodline?
Suddenly, Zhao Letian's eyes lit up as he thought of the only explanation.
Compared to the Yin Yang Demons, whether in terms of the amount or quality of Bloodline Power, he was far inferior. The only aspect in which he outclassed them was the rank of his bloodline.
In other words, the ability to summon even more powerful ghosts could very likely be due to his higher bloodline rank than the Yin Yang Demons.
The Flood Dragon, amongst demon beasts, is almost akin to a Royal Family. Their Bloodline Power is noble and has a suppressive effect on most creatures.
The Dragon Blood Power coursing through Zhao Letian's veins could almost be compared to that of a real Flood Dragon, of a very high rank that was not comparable to the bloodline of ordinary Martial Artists.
Perhaps, those three powerful ghosts were summoned because of the Dragon Blood within him.
Regardless, being able to summon even more powerful ghosts was a good thing, and there was no need to overthink it; he quickly moved past the issue.
In summary, after claiming the Ghost King Stele, he resolved a major concern.
Together, those three strong ghosts were almost comparable to a grandmaster such as Yu. As long as no King-level Experts intervened, he wouldn't need to worry too much about his own safety.
Next, Zhao Letian consumed some elixirs to replenish his Essence Blood and guzzled down several jugfuls of Qingluo Wine, resuming his meditation and recuperation.
Time quietly passed by.
It was not until the evening that Zhao Letian's pale complexion had mostly returned to normal.
"It's also time to prepare the Spiritual Liquid and cultivate the Unlimited Magic Eyes."
Zhao Letian stood up, thinking as he walked towards the Alchemy Room.
Once inside the Alchemy Room, Zhao Letian took out a second-level Pill Furnace, the Hundred Herbs Furnace, and placed it atop the blazing earth fire.
"Thousand-year-old Spirit Tree Root, Ten Thousand Feet Deep Pool Spring, Thousand-Eyed Demon Core, Heavenly Crystal Stone..."
Letian Zhao's hand shimmered with Spirit Light as he placed each of the incomparably rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into the Hundred Herbs Furnace one by one.
Moments later, Letian Zhao closed the lid of the Hundred Herbs Furnace, stimulating the True Yuan Power and using the blazing earth fire to melt the materials inside the furnace.
Time rapidly passed by.
In the outside world, the stars shifted positions, the sun rose and set.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, Letian Zhao never left the Alchemy Room, continuously melting the various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside the Hundred Herbs Furnace.
The variety of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that blended the Spiritual Liquid was far from ordinary, and the difficulty of melting them was extremely high.
For three continuous days, the unremitting stimulation of the earth fire not only consumed a great deal of Letian Zhao's True Yuan Power but also exhausted much of his Divine Soul Power, leaving him utterly fatigued and beyond distressed, with a very pale complexion, as large beads of sweat rolled off his forehead, soaking his clothes.
Hard work always pays off; suddenly, the Hundred Herbs Furnace trembled violently, an intoxicating fragrance wafted out, and at the same time, a wave of cyan light burst open the furnace's lid, illuminating the entire Alchemy Room.
Despite being extremely weary, Letian Zhao's eyes revealed an excited gleam as he quickly stood up and looked into the Hundred Herbs Furnace.
Inside the Pill Furnace, there was a clear, translucent cyan-colored Spiritual Liquid, which occupied about one-third of the space in the Hundred Herbs Furnace.
"Excellent, this Spiritual Liquid is enough for me to cultivate the first layer of the Unlimited Magic Eyes, the Qingxiao Dharma Eye!"
Letian Zhao gazed at the Spiritual Liquid in the Hundred Herbs Furnace, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, and he took out a jade bottle to collect all of the Spiritual Liquid.
Unlimited Magic Eyes was a super Pupil Skill that could evolve and upgrade continuously through many levels.
The first tier, known as the Qingxiao Dharma Eye, implied that upon mastery, one's gaze could penetrate the blue heavens and reach beyond the nine skies.
Moreover, besides that, after cultivating the Qingxiao Dharma Eye, one could also see through many obstacles, even Arrays and restrictions, as well as various disguises and Illusion Techniques.
In essence, its power was much more formidable than the incomplete version of the Yin Yang Demon Eyes cultivated by the Yin Yang Demons.
After leaving the Alchemy Room and entering the Practice Room, Letian Zhao first sat down cross-legged to meditate and restore his depleted energy.
Once he adjusted to the optimal condition, he opened his eyes, took out the Spiritual Liquid, and dripped some into each of his eyes.
After that, he immediately started to cultivate according to the method of the Unlimited Magic Eyes, activating the True Yuan Power to flow through specific acupoints above his eyes, at the same time, gathering the Bloodline Power within his body to his eyes, coordinating with the True Yuan Power to absorb the power of the Spiritual Liquid into his pupils.
Time quietly slipped away.
The stars shifted positions, the sun rose and set.
Unwittingly, another two days had gone by.
During these two days, Letian Zhao had been cultivating the Qingxiao Dharma Eye in the Practice Room.
"Qingxiao Eye Opening!"
Suddenly, Letian Zhao opened his eyes, and a burst of cyan light erupted, allowing him to directly see through the walls of the Practice Room and look outside.
