Chapter 392: The Minor Eye of Heaven's Way and the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art
Chapter 392: The Minor Eye of Heaven's Way and the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art
In a remote corner of Da Gai Mountain, Xu Yan, the man sought by the Man and Tian Sha Di Ying clans, hid in a small cave. He took out a formation plate and set up a concealment array, enveloping the cave in sword intent that resembled an invisible landscape painting.
After making all the necessary preparations, Xu Yan was ready to start cultivating the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way.
"The Minor Eye of Heaven's Way is the foundation of the Eye of Heaven's Way, and it is incredibly profound. Once I understand and cultivate it successfully, my strength will definitely increase."
Xu Yan's heart raced with excitement.
He could foresee that after comprehending the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way, when he broke through to the Divine Form Realm, he would undergo another transformation, further enhancing his foundation.
"I'm just a step away from understanding the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way. I hope the Blood Heart Fruit truly lives up to its reputation and can help me grasp this final step, shortening the time needed for comprehension."
Xu Yan took out a Blood Heart Fruit, his heart filled with anticipation.
It had been a long time since Li Xuan passed on the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way to him. Ever since the Green Flourishing Realm, Xu Yan had been working to comprehend it, and he was just a step away from complete understanding.
Now, he hoped that the Blood Heart Fruit would provide the boost he needed to quickly grasp it.
He consumed the first Blood Heart Fruit.
Xu Yan felt a warm and gentle aura flowing through his body and then manifesting in his primordial spirit, nourishing it. His spirit platform glowed with a misty radiance.
At this moment, his mind was calm, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.
Xu Yan began to comprehend the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way.
The part that had eluded him before suddenly became clear, and he instantly understood how to cultivate it, its mysteries, and its power.
"So that's how it is!"
Xu Yan's heart stirred with excitement as he finally grasped the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way. The Blood Heart Fruit's effect of aiding in the comprehension of cultivation techniques was indeed extraordinary, no wonder Wan Tianlin coveted it so much.
After comprehending the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way, Xu Yan started to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Realm technique.
Even with the aid of the Blood Heart Fruit, his spirit platform glowing mistily, it was still difficult to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Realm technique. This realm was truly profound and mysterious.
Xu Yan immersed himself in his cultivation, only snapping out of his trance when the misty radiance from his spirit platform faded and the effects of the Blood Heart Fruit wore off.
"I've made some progress, but I'm still far from completely understanding the Heaven and Earth Realm. It seems I lack experience, and my insights into the martial path and the heavens are insufficient."
Xu Yan felt a sense of regret.
The Heaven and Earth Realm technique was too profound and mysterious. Even with the aid of the Blood Heart Fruit and his immersive cultivation state, similar to enlightenment, he hadn't made much headway in understanding it.
However, he hadn't made no progress at all. At the very least, he now had some direction and a starting point for his comprehension.
"I wonder if eating another Blood Heart Fruit will still have an effect."
Xu Yan took out another Blood Heart Fruit.
He had acquired quite a few of them from She Peak Sky Cave, enough for him to use them liberally.
After consuming the second Blood Heart Fruit, Xu Yan found that it still had an effect, although its potency had decreased by a third.
"Let's cultivate a divine ability!"
Xu Yan took a deep breath. With this reduced potency, it would be unrealistic to try and comprehend the Heaven and Earth Realm technique. Cultivating a divine ability from the Divine Ability Manual would be a much better use of it.
"Which divine ability should I cultivate?"
Xu Yan fell into deep thought. There were many divine abilities in the Divine Ability Manual, including major and minor ones, but he wasn't interested in the minor abilities.
Since he was going to cultivate one, he naturally chose a major divine ability.
He soon settled on one particular major divine ability.
It was a rather unique ability named "Heaven's Will God-Calming Art."
This divine ability was not meant for offense or defense but for controlling the souls and wills of others.
My will is the heaven's will. This art calms their souls, their intellect, and their consciousness, making those affected by it act according to his will.
Once this art takes effect, even if ordered to kill their loved ones, they will do so without hesitation.
No matter how loyal someone is, if they fall under the influence of this art, they will be controlled, acting according to the will of heaven. Even if their consciousness is clear, they will be unable to go against this heavenly will and do something that is not of their own volition.
"This is the one."
Xu Yan was delighted. He could think of many uses for this art. Since he had already clashed with Wan Tianlin and the Man Clan, these unconventional means could sometimes achieve unexpected results.
For example, he could use this art on a Man Clan warrior and command them to assassinate Wan Tianlin.
In this way, the affected person would be conscious and resistant to the idea, but they would be unable to go against the will of heaven. Their soul and intellect would be controlled.
"Wan Tianlin probably never imagined that the loyal Man Clan warriors by his side, or even those deeply loyal to him, might try to kill him. It would throw the entire Man Clan into chaos."
One could imagine that if a seemingly loyal warrior suddenly turned and tried to kill Wan Tianlin, the Man Clan would be alarmed and would immediately start an internal investigation to root out the traitor.
"What if one of the clan elders also turns?"
Xu Yan curled his lips upward. This was why it was so necessary to cultivate the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
The more unique a divine ability was, the more unexpected its effects could be in certain situations.
Xu Yan began to cultivate the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art. As the effects of the Blood Heart Fruit gradually wore off, his understanding of this art became clearer, and he was on the verge of completely grasping it.
When the Blood Heart Fruit's effects finally dissipated, Xu Yan felt a twinge of regret. This fruit hadn't been enough to help him fully comprehend the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
"The higher one's aptitude, the stronger the effect of the first Blood Heart Fruit, and the greater the enlightenment."
Xu Yan mused.
The Blood Heart Fruit enhanced a warrior's aptitude for comprehending cultivation techniques, and its effectiveness was related to the warrior's innate aptitude.
According to Xu Yan's calculations, the Blood Heart Fruit could temporarily enhance a warrior's aptitude by about 30%. This seemed to be a fixed amount.
The higher a warrior's aptitude, the more significant a 30% increase would be, making it much easier for them to comprehend cultivation techniques.
For a warrior with low aptitude, even a 30% increase would still pale in comparison to someone with naturally high aptitude.
"One last one."
Xu Yan sighed and took out the last Blood Heart Fruit.
The third Blood Heart Fruit only had a 10% effect, but it was better than nothing. For Xu Yan, it was enough to help him cultivate the major divine ability, the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
As he consumed the third fruit, Xu Yan felt the effects diminish significantly, and the misty radiance from his spirit platform faded noticeably.
"I finally understand it!"
When the effects of the Blood Heart Fruit faded away, Xu Yan opened his eyes, a brilliant smile on his face.
"The Blood Heart Fruit is truly a treasure. I wonder what would happen if it were refined into a pill? Would it still be effective for me after I've already consumed the raw fruit?"
Xu Yan pondered.
"Aside from the Blood Heart Fruit, are there any other heavenly treasures with similar effects?"
"How did he disappear without a trace, right under our noses?"
The Wan Clan's frustration was evident, and their failure to find Li Xuan was a source of great embarrassment.
"How dare he provoke our clan, kill our people, and still roam free? This is an insult to the Wan Clan! We must find him and make an example of him to restore our honor!"
The clan elders seethed with rage.
Wan Tianlin's face darkened with fury, and he was desperate enough to offer another Blood Heart Fruit as a reward, even putting himself at risk to lure Li Xuan out.
But their efforts, once again, yielded nothing.
Unbeknownst to the Wan Clan and Tian Sha Di Ying clan, a third party was also searching for Li Xuan—a group of True King Heaven Venerables from the Wu Mo Tian Ku in Qian Die Mountain. Though their numbers were few, each True King Heaven Venerable had their network of Law Consolidation Heaven Venerables working for them, gathering information and doing their bidding.
These True King Heaven Venerables were under the enchantment of a certain person, having pledged their loyalty and devotion. Their sole purpose was to please this mysterious figure, carrying out their plans without question.
"I've finally mastered it!"
Oblivious to the outside world, Li Xuan, who had been solely focused on cultivating his divine abilities, opened his eyes.
Within his eyes was an unfathomable power, like a revolving sun and moon, or a constellation of stars, perhaps even something more sacred.
The Minor Eye of Heaven's Way.
After an extended period of cultivation, Li Xuan had finally mastered this divine ability.
"The Minor Eye of Heaven's Way, a gaze that mirrors the will of heaven, seeing through all illusions and grasping everything within its sight..."
Only after cultivating the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way did Li Xuan truly comprehend the profound power of this divine ability.
With his new eyes, he could clearly see the intricacies of formations, instantly identifying their weaknesses and the trajectory of their power.
"The Fourth Junior Brother's formations need improvement; otherwise, they'll be too weak."
Li Xuan mused to himself, acknowledging the difference between the formation plates crafted by Fang Hao and the heaven-defying formations he personally created.
"Aside from my eyes, there's also..."
Upon cultivating the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way, Li Xuan noticed something peculiar between his eyebrows, as if there was another eye hidden there.
This eye seemed to possess a mysterious power, and when opened, it exuded an overwhelming aura.
"Is this the foundation of the Eye of Heaven's Way?"
Li Xuan wondered silently.
As he focused his thoughts, a faint light resembling an eye appeared between his eyebrows, emanating a formidable power. Li Xuan could sense that this eye was capable of unleashing a devastating attack.
"With more techniques at my disposal, my strength and foundation have increased significantly."
Li Xuan was thrilled with his newfound abilities.
"Now, it's time to cultivate the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art."
Having mastered the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way, Li Xuan turned his attention to the remaining divine ability, the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
He decided that after cultivating this ability, he would leave his hiding place and confront Wan Tianlin, demanding compensation for their past grievances. If Wan Tianlin truly wanted to make amends, he would have to provide Li Xuan with the heavenly treasures he needed.
"With the Minor Eye of Heaven's Way aiding me, and my current strength, I should be able to control a True King Heaven Venerable and make them follow my commands."
However, Li Xuan knew that his control wouldn't extend to the most powerful True King Heaven Venerables. There was a chance that they could break free from the influence of the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
After all, he had only recently reached the Divine Ability Realm, and will control was notoriously difficult. Moreover, those who had attained the level of True King Heaven Venerable were known for their unwavering willpower.
Li Xuan estimated that with his current abilities, he could only control a True King Heaven Venerable in the early stages of their cultivation.
"For now, that should be enough to cause some trouble for Wan Tianlin and the Wan Clan, creating chaos within their ranks."
Li Xuan took a deep breath and began cultivating the Heaven's Will God-Calming Art.
Meanwhile, back at Da Gai Mountain, the Wan Clan could no longer sit idly by. They offered a substantial reward for any information leading to Li Xuan's capture. Those who provided clues would receive a handsome payment, and if their information led to Li Xuan's arrest, they would be welcomed into the Wan Clan, receiving a ten percent increase in cultivation resources.
This generous offer caused quite a stir among the warriors of Da Gai Mountain, and soon, rumors began to circulate about the identity of the wanted individual. Some speculated that he had disgraced the Wan Clan by seducing and abandoning the clan's daughter, prompting this furious response from the clan. The gossip spread like wildfire, adding fuel to the mystery surrounding Li Xuan's disappearance.
