Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Ancestor’s Heavenly Eye Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Ancestor’s Heavenly Eye Jiangli indifferently said, “What’s the trouble? I’ll prepare so things later and then I can open a Heavenly Eye for you. However, you can only have a basic Heavenly Eye.”
After all, aptitude varies.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin felt a bit puzzled, “There are different levels of the Heavenly Eye?”
“Of course,” Jiangli replied, clearly incredulous, “Hasn’t the old Taoist told you?”
Xia Xin shook his head, “…No, he hasn’t.”
Jiangli frowned.
What exactly had that old Taoist been teaching Xia Xin behind the scenes?
“Heavenly Eye is just a general term, and it’s specifically divided into five levels: Mortal Vision, Heavenly Vision, Insight Eye, Dharma Eye, and Buddha Eye.”
Jiangli, resigned to the fact, still gave Xia Xin a lesson.
“Mortal Vision is simple. It’s just a better vision than the normal mortal eye, allowing one to observe farther and wider distances. One can achieve it with a bit of cultivation.”
“Heavenly Vision allows you to see ghosts, but not through their disguises. You can only see a rough outline, which isn’t clear.”
“With Insight Eye, closer to what’s known as Yin Yang Eyes, you can see through the disguises of ghosts and spirits, and even see into the past and predict the future. It’s like how I just now could see what’s about to happen to that blogger.”
“Dharma Eye is a step above the Insight Eye, even more advanced and powerful. It can do so things Insight Eye cannot, like, while Insight Eye can only see into the past and future, Dharma Eye can actually alter the past or the future. However, since both Xuann and Buddhist Sects prefer not to interfere with the order of the Heavenly Dao, no one’s willing to use this feature; besides, very few reach the stage of Dharma Eye.”
Jiangli went out to pour a cup of tea and, upon returning, continued, “As for Buddha Eye, it’s even rarer. Those who cultivate to this stage are like gods and Buddhas. However, even real gods and Buddhas rarely reach the Buddha Eye, so you don’t need to worry about this level.”
Xia Xin understood, “So, you an, I should open a basic Heavenly Eye, just enough to see ghosts and spirits?”
After taking a sip of tea, Jiangli nodded, “Exactly. With your aptitude, even if I forcibly opened Insight Eye for you, you wouldn’t be able to handle it. It would beco a burden, consuming your vital essence, and could even break down your body. At best you go blind, at worst you lose your life, so better not to practice at all.”
Xia Xin’s heart skipped a beat at his words, “It’s that dangerous… In that case, I’ll just open a basic Heavenly Eye; there’s no harm in that, right, ancestor?”
“It’s just a basic one, nothing to worry about. I’ll be looking after you, what are you afraid of?” Jiangli glanced at him.
Xia Xin thought it made sense.
What could go wrong with a Heavenly Eye personally opened by the ancestor?
Xia Xin imdiately felt at ease, “Alright then, ancestor, I’ll listen to you.”
“Hmm, let’s wait until I’ve prepared so things,” Jiangli said.
Without anything on hand, it’s not possible to forcefully open it.
She worried Xia Xin’s small fra couldn’t handle it.
Xia Xin nodded repeatedly.
Actually, he was rather indifferent.
Whether or not to open it, what kind to open, he didn’t insist.
As long as it was convenient for the ancestor, anyti would do.
However…
Xia Xin suddenly beca curious, “Ancestor, what stage has your Heavenly Eye cultivated to?”
Embracing her cup of tea, Jiangli gazed at him serenely, “What do you think?”
Xia Xin blinked and recalling the five levels of vision Jiangli had just ntioned, hesitated, “At least the Insight Eye, right?”
Jiangli only smiled without speaking.
Xia Xin thought, maybe his guess was too low?
“Is it…”
“Enough, get on with your cooking,” Jiangli interrupted his further inquiry, “The distinguished guest will be arriving soon, and there’s no ti.”
Xia Xin, reminded of his imdiate task, exclaid “Oh!” and hurriedly went off to cook.
Yet, the question of the level of Jiangli’s Heavenly Eye lingered in his mind, marked with another question mark.
