Inside the vast North Heavenly Gate.
Groups of people in yellow robes and white skirts dispersed and shuttled through various palaces, squares, and corridors, searching for any traces of Quan He’s aura.
At the North Heavenly Gate, Yu Hong was operating the safe room, silently inching into the gate.
The search had been going on for seven days, but no clues had been found yet.
Instead, the Fear Shadows inadvertently triggered so chanisms, or encountered a few wandering Spirit Disasters, and were instantly eliminated.
Yu Hong was unconcerned about this;
with Extre Summoning, he could have as many as he wanted.
Gurgle gurgle...
Inside the safe room, three people crowded in front of the observation window, carefully examining the situation outside.
Behind the North Heavenly Gate was a vast and empty White Jade Stone Square.
The ground of the square had a large silver pattern composed of dragons and phoenixes, with a black and white Yin Yang Diagram surrounded by the dragons and phoenixes in the center, whose black and white colors were slowly rotating and releasing an extrely exaggerated Spiritual Ability Radiation.
Yu Hong maintained a wide-range search while slowly moving past the edge of the square.
"There seems to be soone over there!" Suddenly, Yiyi called out softly.
Yu Hong and Ku Chan were stunned;
they hadn’t seen anyone, but Yiyi had noticed first.
Now hearing her ntion it, Yu Hong focused his gaze in that direction and indeed saw on the edge of the square, on a black stone bench, sat a gaunt figure dressed in a white robe with silver trim.
The figure watched the erratically sprinting Speed n, seemingly observing sothing.
Suddenly, the person raised his head, revealing a strangely cut face.
On this face, there was only one large solitary eye.
The eyeball was red, flickering with a faint luminescence.
Next, he did sothing that surprised all three of them.
He raised his hand, his palm shaped like a claw, and then...
Plunged it into his own eye.
Yiyi, who was watching, couldn’t help but scream in shock, while Yu Hong and Ku Chan had no particular reaction.
Soon, the three of them saw the man reach directly into the area around his own eyeball.
Then, with a bit of force, he actually gouged out his own eye.
He carefully wrapped the eyeball in a handkerchief, then took a new eyeball from his pocket and stuffed it back into his own eye socket.
"Is this guy... changing his eye?" Yu Hong, seeing this scene, didn’t know why, but suddenly a thought struck his mind.
He just stopped in the square, watching the one-eyed monster change his eyes every two hours.
Ku Chan and Yiyi watched for a while, found it boring, and went to do their own things.
Only Yu Hong remained, still sitting at the entrance, quietly observing.
Swoosh.
Finally, he suddenly stood up.
At this mont, a Speed Man had just returned, holding a white stone similar to the previous ones.
Yu Hong cracked open the door, took the stone inside, then quickly returned to the Main Control Room.
Planning to use it as a battery to once again cultivate the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture.
This ti, however, he chose his left eye.
’The right eye mainly focuses on spiritual attacks. The left eye can completely beco an enhancent for physical attacks.’
’Also, why don’t I, like that one-eyed man, first strengthen the external eyeball and then implant it back into myself? The Black Mark doesn’t allow direct enhancent of oneself, so why don’t I first strengthen an external object and then transplant it back into myself?’
This was the true inspiration he gained from the one-eyed man.
’If the external eyeball isn’t compatible with , then strengthen it until it’s suitable enough for !’
Yu Hong suddenly realized that he seed to have found a loophole in the Black Mark chanism.
As soon as he thought of it, he imdiately focused his mind, invoked the Technique, and summoned Agrius from the Heavenly River.
Agrius shrank into a ball, crawling motionless in his palm.
’Sorry,’ Yu Hong said inwardly to Agrius, then suddenly extended his hand and precisely gouged out one of its eyeballs.
Agrius violently struggled and trembled, but quickly stabilized and remained motionless.
Yu Hong looked at the eyeball in his hand, a round black crystal-like sphere, still emitting faint black mist.
He placed it separately in a container for preservation.
Then he let Agrius return to the Heavenly River.
Soon a new eyeball grew, while the one in the external container remained.
Yu Hong quietly continued his cultivation.
As ti went on, day by day.
Yu Hong kept observing the changes in the eyeball. anwhile, he also started to have Speed n search extensively in the outer world for weaker Spirit Disaster Monsters.
To prepare eyeballs for collection.
In the blink of an eye, over a month passed.
Quan He’s whereabouts remained elusive and were not pinpointed, but instead, Yu Hong collected a large pile of eyeballs by ambushing and targeting the weak.
Inside the Main Control Room, the walls were covered with glass bottles of various sizes, each filled with differently shaped and colored eyeballs.
Yu Hong sat surrounded by these eyeballs.
’It’s about ti... I can try my previous idea.’
He stood up, glanced at the remaining ti for the Black Mark enhancent—it was the last day, and the increase in the safe room’s defensive strength was about to be completed.
Quietly walking to the wall, he watched the continually flashing red countdown tir, waiting quietly for the last five minutes to completely pass.
In a short while.
Snap.
Finally, the countdown completely vanished, returning to zero.
The entire safehouse suddenly trembled, blurring montarily.
Simultaneously, a new instruction manual appeared in Yu Hong’s hand.
’Safehouse reinforcent complete, external walls upgraded to ultra-strong special alloy walls. Strength increased by eleven tis, this wall material cos from the ancient star civilization of Ovires, and is part of the level five basic protection wall in the ten-level defense system.’
Yu Hong paused, noticing the wall slowly beginning to show faint blue dim light patterns, reminiscent of technological circuits.
’This Immortal Martial Sect isn’t enough for you, you even reach out to star-level civilizations...’
He exhaled, ignoring the Black Mark’s manual, casually picking up a small bottle containing a silver eyeball from nearby.
This eyeball was dug out from a Silver-armored Dragon Man wandering nearby.
Strangely, the number of Silver-armored Dragon n here was very limited, even Golden Armored Dragon n were extrely rare.
Perhaps this was because it was inside the North Heavenly Gate.
The only advantage was that these creatures could regenerate, these eyeballs look nurous, but in reality, they were all harvested from two Dragon n.
A total of ninety-nine, for good luck.
At this mont, holding a silver eyeball, Yu Hong confird the end of the Black Mark enhancent and silently thought.
’Enhance Outer Eye, direction: eliminate all side effects generated during transplantation into my body.’
He didn’t directly enhance functionalities but first removed hidden dangers.
Instantly, the black lines on the back of his hand flashed, rushing into the eyeball in the bottle.
The silver eyeball slightly contracted, and soon the feedback asking whether to start ca.
Yu Hong glanced at the countdown that synchronously appeared on the bottle.
’19 minutes’.
Unexpectedly short.
His heart filled with anticipation.
If this experint succeeded, he would no longer need to slowly cultivate for enhancent as he did before.
While cultivation is stable and lays a solid foundation, it always seed insufficient when strength was needed.
If this path proved viable, it ant he could completely change his approach, and use the sa principle to modify other organs and limbs.
The ti of about ten minutes was short;
Yu Hong simply sat cross-legged and practiced Tai Ling Skill while waiting.
Soon, the ti was almost up.
He opened his eyes and stared at the silver eyeball in the bottle.
At the mont the countdown hit zero, the surface of the eyeball flashed with silver light, then it quieted down, making no further move.
Yu Hong exhaled, opened the bottle’s cap.
Looking at the ordinary-looking eyeball inside, he took a deep breath. He reached out...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he jabbed his hand directly into his own left eye, scooping it out forcefully.
With a tearing sound.
The eyeball, along with nerves, was brutally pulled out.
The intense pain stimulated Yu Hong’s brain, nearly causing him to lose his composure and scream in pain.
But the anticipation for the future made him endure the agony, placing his own eyeball into a prepared clean bottle.
Then, with trembling hands, he picked up the silver eyeball, stuffing it into the bloody socket of his left eye.
Positioned correctly, he quickly released the Elf Ancient Tree’s Call, covered by Golden Light.
Soon, new eye nerves and blood vessels began growing from the eye socket, connecting to the newly introduced silver eyeball.
Yu Hong, enduring pain, ford a Sealing with both hands, releasing a minor Magic to purify himself of bacteria and viruses.
Bacterial and viral particles also emit extrely faint Spiritual Fluctuations, hence the Taoist Sect’s Magic includes this research. This is one of the reasons why those big shots in the Taoist Sect are hard to kill. Even at later stages, Heavenly Master Level practitioners might have secret Techniques to completely change their bodies.
At this mont, Yu Hong found it quite handy.
After cleaning off the blood, Yu Hong walked to one side, sat down on the ground, and slowly waited for his left eye to adapt and change.
The newly planted eye was still completely dark, and he could see nothing.
But as ti passed.
Soon, an hour went by.
Gradually, Yu Hong felt the pain lessen, and he quickly applied so anti-inflammatory Eye Drops to himself, this ti not his own enhanced kind, but just ordinary comrcial dicine produced outside.
Waiting a little longer, finally.
Little bits of faint light appeared in Yu Hong’s mind.
He widened his left eye, the silver eyeball slightly rotating, continually streaming tears.
But at this mont, he didn’t care about these;
only the light and images emanating from his left eye were thrilling him!
’It worked!!’ he suddenly got up, although the vision of the silver eye wasn’t as good as his original.
But at this ti, in Yu Hong’s vision, countless thin silver threads floated in the air.
These threads, so thick, so thin, floated softly in mid-air, moving around.
’This is....’ Yu Hong reached out his hand, involuntarily grasping at a silver thread.
Sizzle!
In the instant he pinched the thread, an imnsely pure Spiritual Energy madly surged into his body.
And that thread slowly shortened, disappearing.
The influx of Spiritual Energy was entirely different from that of materials like White Stone.
If White Stone was like a jumble of thousands of impurities forcibly compressed together, the thread was pure unconscious Spiritual Energy.
Like a newborn Spiritual Energy, it could be freely absorbed and devoured.
