Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Opening of Spirit Eye
Fang Lin possesses memories of his previous life, and his knowledge and experiences far surpass those of the contemporary martial artists.
In Fang Lin’s era, once the Spirit Eye was activated, one could take a step further and transform it into the more powerful and mysterious Heavenly Eye.
However, in this era, legends about the Heavenly Eye are almost extinct, and those who can cultivate their Spirit Eye into the Heavenly Eye are few and far between.
Fang Lin had initially planned to only activate his Spirit Eye, but discovered that his body can absorb ten times more of nature’s spiritual energy than ordinary martial artists.
This means Fang Lin could leverage more spiritual energy to refine his Spirit Eye, elevating it considerably even at the initial stage, and possibly even turn it into the Heavenly Eye at once.
Should Fang Lin activate his Heavenly Eye at this stage, his strength would experience an unimaginable boost, such that even martial artists at the third or fourth level of Heavenly Origin may not be able to defeat him.
“Having come this far, I might as well go all out. It would be best if I can activate the Heavenly Eye, but even if I fail, I would have gained experience!” Fang Lin thought to himself, determination evident on his face.
Meanwhile, above Xuan City, dense spiritual energy enveloped the sky as if the heavens were collapsing, causing panic among the citizens. They were confused about what was happening, thankfully, the Imperial City intervened in time to soothe the citizens preventing a major chaos.
A loud rumbling echoed, as if thunder was roiling inside the cloud of spiritual energy.
“This is terrifying! The spiritual energy is too dense, it’s causing thunder and lightning!” an elderly martial artist shuddered as he spoke.
Everyone watched the sky in fear, worrying that the terrifying spiritual energy could pour down at any moment.
Just then, a ray of light soared from within the Pill Alliance, directly piercing into the surging spiritual energy.
“Look quick!” The crowd gasped, catching glimpse of an eye slowly opening within the light, massive amounts of spiritual energy poured into it like a torrential river.
“Does such a phenomenon occur when the Spirit Eye opens?” Many people found it incredible, having neither seen nor heard of such a spectacle when someone opens their Spirit Eye.
“Such a dominant show of power, it’s likely that this child will be extraordinary once his Spirit Eye opens!” said an elder beside Dugu Nian, his words filled with admiration.
“But he must also endure this, an Earth Element martial artist can only absorb so much spiritual energy,” another elder sighed.
Dugu Nian remained silent, unable to express his anxiety and worries.
“Fang Lin, you have to endure! You absolutely can’t fail!” Dugu Nian muttered to himself, his face as pale as he looked at the massive spiritual energy in the sky.
“Quick, the concentration of spiritual energy is intense. One array will not be enough, open three more arrays!” Chen Yongnian shouted to everyone in the Pill Alliance.
At once, three more arrays rose above the Pill Alliance, each covered in layers of brilliant light, affording significant protection.
Still, Chen Yongnian’s eyelids twitched incessantly. The concentration of spiritual energy in the sky was far too terrifying – not even a Heavenly origin powerhouse could likely survive under such an intense explosion of spiritual energy.
Some martial artists with lesser abilities and weaker constitutions began to quickly flee from Xuan City, fearing catastrophe.
But one place remained calm—the Imperial City.
Even the soldiers guarding the entrance of the Imperial City showed very little panic.
That was because the most powerful person in Xuan Country was there, even if the sky was falling, the people of the Imperial City did not have to worry about anything.
The Xuan Emperor, dressed in a purple dragon robe, looked around forty years old. His face was resolute and his figure tall and sturdy. Standing atop the highest tower in the Imperial City, he calmly overserved the area of the Pill Alliance.
“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is also over there, do you want to call him back?” A high-ranking member of the Imperial City appeared beside the Xuan Emperor and asked respectfully.
“No need.” The Xuan Emperor replied indifferently, not seeming worried at all.
However, this high-ranking member of the Imperial City knew that the Xuan Emperor was constantly monitoring the surroundings. If the spiritual energy in the sky showed signs of bursting, the Xuan Emperor would certainly act.
Given the Xuan Emperor’s strength, even if all the natural spiritual energy exploded at once, he would not be harmed in the slightest, and the Imperial City, heavily protected by multiple arrays, wouldn’t be affected either.
Meanwhile, on a low hill about a hundred miles from Xuan City, a hidden figure overlooked Xuan City, his cold eyes glinting with deep-seated resentment.
Inside a secret chamber, Fang Lin’s expression was extremely serious. He continuously absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy from the outside world.
He wasn’t sure how much spiritual energy remained outside, but he had a feeling that the more he absorbed now, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Fang Lin’s body was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much spiritual energy surged towards it, he could absorb all of it.
“Woof Woof!!!” Suddenly, a golden puppy jumped out of the Beast Bag and onto Fang Lin’s shoulder. It seemed to be enjoying a share of the spiritual energy.
Fang Lin was taken aback, but didn’t mind. With so much spiritual energy available, it didn’t matter if a bit was siphoned off by the little creature.
“Ah, as a grand Corpse Ginseng, I can’t absorb any of nature’s spiritual energy. That’s truly infuriating.” The Thousand Year Corpse Ginseng popped its head out of the Nine Palace Bag and complained sulkily.
“Then stop talking, don’t distract me.” Fang Lin replied grumpily.
The Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng huffed and retreated into the Nine Palace Bag.
At this moment, an eye began to take shape on Fang Lin’s forehead, glowing softly blue, with a halo of bright light spreading out from it.
“Just a little more! Spirit Eye, open for me!” Fang Lin bellowed, consumed in drawing in nature’s spiritual energy.
In the outside world, the eye within the column of light silently opened, and a blue light emanated from it, enveloping the entirety of Xuan City.
“It opened! This is the Spirit Eye!”
“What a terrifying eye! My body is trembling!”
“Just one look from that blue eye, and I felt as if my soul was leaving my body!”
Many martial artists cried out in astonishment, shocked to their cores, even those with deep cultivation.
Was this really a Spirit Eye? Whose Spirit Eye is so powerful when it opens?
“Prince, I wonder whose Spirit Eye is stronger when compared to Fang Lin’s, yours or his?” Mengyuan asked Zhou Yishui with a sly smile.
Zhou Yishui responded calmly: “Naturally, it would be mine.”
Mengyuan laughed lightly, without adding more.
At that moment, the spiritual energy gathering in the sky appeared to become frenzied and restless.
“This is bad! These are the signs of an impending explosion!” someone shouted, looking panic-stricken.
