Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 547: Chapter 253: PWoang Divine Eyes

”Good, very good, put it away.”

The Ice and Fire Elder stroked the beard on his chin, nodding repeatedly.

Only then did Ji Yuan retract his Divine Sense, looking nervously at the Ice and Fire Elder before him.

However, the latter did not look at him at all, but instead walked slowly in front of him with hands behind his back and said, ”You haven’t given birth to another you inside you, have you?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan truly sensed his own Divine Soul before shaking his head.

”No.”

”Then the old man understands.”

The Ice and Fire Elder let out a long sigh, his voice carrying a hint of serene acceptance and a trace of... relief?

”Dare I ask what the senior understands?”

Ji Yuan stepped forward and asked with cupped hands.

The Ice and Fire Elder turned to look at him, but pointed to his own head, ”I am like you, a naturally born Divine Soul different from ordinary people, but your Divine Soul can surpass itself by two small realms, while mine only exceeds by one. This means, I am now at a Late-stage Golden Core cultivation, but my Divine Sense is already not weaker than some Peak Golden Core cultivators.”

Before Ji Yuan could offer praise, the Ice and Fire Elder continued:

”We both can summon that purple vertical eye, and were drawn to the Ice and Fire Pool because our Divine Souls are different from ordinary people, but my Divine Soul was slightly weaker, so it was torn in half, leading to my creation.”

”Your Divine Soul is stronger than mine, allowing you to withstand the erosion of that purple vertical eye, remaining unharmed.”

This matter had troubled the Ice and Fire Elder for countless years, continuously wondering why he would see that vertical eye and why he fell into the Ice and Fire Pool.

Over the years, he wasn’t without thoughts of letting others try.

In contrast, almost all female cultivators in the valley had been taken by him to the Ice and Fire Pool.

But none could summon that purple vertical eye again.

Until meeting the present ”Li Changshou”, who not only saw the purple vertical eye but also crawled out from the pond.

Even resolving the confusion in his heart.

For Ji Yuan, however, he had only one thought in mind, which was... could it really be so?

Ji Yuan queried further, ”Senior, what exactly is this purple vertical eye? Can it be removed?”

The Ice and Fire Elder did not reply, only blinking, and suddenly a purple vertical eye appeared on his forehead as well.

Within the vertical eye, the purple eyeball rotated slightly, staring fixedly at Ji Yuan.

Two purple vertical eyes remained locked in gaze... without any peculiarities.

But the action of the Ice and Fire Elder implicitly conveyed to Ji Yuan that this thing can’t be removed; if it could be, he wouldn’t have it on his forehead.

”It can’t be removed, as for its origin... the old man doesn’t know either, can only deduce that it came from another continent, definitely not something Cangluo Continent possesses.”

The Ice and Fire Elder finally provided an answer.

Upon hearing this, the first thought in Ji Yuan’s mind was to ask Hua Yaoyue upon returning!

Whenever it involves matters of another continent, she is the only one to ask, just like the Taiyi Clear Light Talisman, if not for consulting her... Ji Yuan wouldn’t know what to do.

”Does this purple vertical eye have any special abilities?”

Since it couldn’t be removed, Ji Yuan thought if he could derive some benefits from it.

The purple vertical eye on the Ice and Fire Elder’s brow stared straight at Ji Yuan, then spoke, ”Quite handsome you are, unlike that Li Gang who didn’t mature well, most likely took after your mother to be born so good-looking, haha, no wonder you could be a Li Family’s illegitimate child.”

Ji Yuan: ”???”

He naturally ignored the Ice and Fire Elder’s mockery, being able to discern the key... the purple vertical eye could see through his Transformation Talisman!

Insight?

Or revelation?

...I just knew this purple vertical eye couldn’t be without any effect.

”Senior, how to refine it?”

Ji Yuan was ignorant and simply asked.

The Ice and Fire Elder did not hide it, but directly stated, ”Your Divine Soul’s brow also has a purple vertical eye, you try to communicate and you can refine it.”

”The vertical eye can possess a trace of ability to perceive the truth, like dealing with certain illusion realms or sinister paths... it has considerable capability, exactly how strong, you will figure out yourself later.”

”Additionally, this vertical eye possesses a trace of penetrative ability, but this penetration can only see through mundane things, anything related to Spiritual Qi can’t be seen through.”

Penetration... isn’t this a man’s dream ability?!

Even if it can only see through mundane objects, it is extremely powerful!

But upon careful thought, it still seemed a pity, because even cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage mostly wear Magic Robes, which being robes, are imbued with Spiritual Qi and remain impenetrable.

”Let me try.”

Ji Yuan said, closing his eyes to view his Divine Soul internally.

At this moment his Divine Soul was tightly protected by the faintly golden Soul Suppressing Bell, allowing no gap, but... there was no vertical eye as the Ice and Fire Elder mentioned.

Ji Yuan repeatedly inspected several times, the Divine Soul within the Sea of Consciousness was immaculate.

Speaking of a purple vertical eye, not even a trace of any coloration was found.

It was simply a pure gray-black figure, sitting cross-legged amidst the void, faceless.

What’s going on?

Yet just as Ji Yuan was about to inquire, he suddenly noticed a flash of purple light outside the Soul Suppressing Bell.

”Hmm?”

Looking out, indeed he found a purple vertical eye outside the Soul Suppressing Bell, this eye seemed very eager to get inside, but was blocked outside by the bell, unable to enter, only darting around, seeming to seek any gap to slip in.
