Free Web NovelChapter 634: Chapter 194: Awakening the Celestial Eye, The Truth of Ghost Street
At this moment, when it was a second too early to predict the opponent’s shift, and a second too late to escape, Li Yuan suddenly moved from stillness and charged forward. His cold vertical pupil showed no emotion as it fixated on the number one in the world from a thousand years ago...
The blade contained both yin and yang, with red and white swirling around,
In an instant, it pierced through the "All Weapons Return to the Root", which was like an ambush from all sides.
The wild Great Halberd swung with unstoppable force.
Li Yuan’s yin pupil had already seen through everything, so he slightly adjusted his posture a moment earlier. The blade light scraped along the Great Halberd, producing an ear-piercing friction, then with his tensed arms, he swung out a powerful half-moon attack...
The deep crimson half-moon was still in the style of Dragon Breath, but more precise, more vicious, more lethal, like a fire-breathing dragon biting the prey’s neck.
A blade of molten heat covered Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian, burning his almost healed body anew.
Yet in the flames, Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian remained fervent, undaunted.
His fingers moved slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Li Yuan, as if foreseeing it, floated to the side.
Behind him were all sorts of weapons streaking through the air, chasing after him.
But this attack he evaded once more.
While dodging, Li Yuan again struck out with Dragon Breath.
Dragon Breath enveloped Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian.
Crack...
Crackle...
Weapons fell from the sky, landing on the ground.
Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian was reduced to just a burning head in the high temperature.
Though burning, he still gazed at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan mercilessly struck again.
This time, Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian was directly bathed in blade light and fire, reduced to ashes and vanished.
Interestingly, though Lü Xuanxian died, the "weapons he created" still remained on the ground, suggesting that though these weapons were created, they had acquired traits of "reality" and "independent existence", and wouldn’t vanish with their owner’s disappearance.
Li Yuan continued to act, destroying all these weapons before sitting down on the spot.
He didn’t know his current state, so he cautiously collected his yin and yang energies, lest they interact and cause an explosion...
A long while passed...
And another long while...
He let out a long breath.
His body had returned to balance.
His head had regrown.
But unlike before, there was a faint, almost indiscernible pain at his brow.
Li Yuan’s mind stirred, and suddenly a vertical pupil appeared at his brow.
This vertical pupil wasn’t grown from flesh, but seemed to be a floating illustration on his skin. Yet, with a thought, this vertical pupil could move.
Li Yuan tested it earnestly.
This vertical pupil floated to his cheek, then to his neck, then to his arm, and even slid to his back...
As it floated to different places, it offered different views and sensed the flow of energies in those directions.
As he tested, Li Yuan suddenly understood the principle.
This was the result of his Divine Soul, combined with Lady Yan’s yin energy, nurtured by the local yin energy to form a unique outcome...
A wisp of yin energy from Lady Yan "stuck" to his Divine Soul, continuously absorbing yin energy, forming an "organ" reminiscent of an Evil Ghost.
But because it was just an "organ" and not a whole, it couldn’t be "undying and undestroyable" like an Evil Ghost. Correspondingly, an existence with this organ wouldn’t be bound to the Ghost Realm.
"This Celestial Eye" absorbed yin energy from the surroundings, but it was just residual yin energy, thus not connecting to Taiyin.
Clearly, while following a certain principle, he accidentally cultivated this special power.
Just then, Li Yuan suddenly scanned his status.
He was surprised to exclaim, "Huh?", noticing a new skill in his Skills.
[Ultimate Skill - Earth Soul Celestial Eye (1/1) (Fourth Grade)]
He scanned his information again.
His stats had become "4530~121663".
His upper limit had increased by a solid twenty thousand, which was no small progress.
But oddly, despite his monumental transformation, his Realm display remained at the Fifth Grade, contrary to his expectations of advancing to the Fourth Grade.
This was evident as his combat power baseline still stood at "4530".
"What on earth is going on?"
"What is this Earth Soul Celestial Eye? It’s clearly a power I comprehended myself... but could it already exist in this world?"
"Previously, the Human World Transformation was like this too."
"The depths of this world are truly terrifying."
Li Yuan cautiously perceived himself, then astonishingly discovered that his "Ancestral Talisman" had yet to merge with his body.
He began to reflect.
After a long time, he understood the cause.
While he had brought his "Ancestral Talisman" and "body" to balance, and through harmonization, made them increasingly coordinated,
the relationship between the "Ancestral Talisman" and "body" was never about balance; it’s about "symbiosis", about "cause and effect"...
This "Ancestral Talisman" must be born from the "body", must be entirely complementary, and cannot be obtained from elsewhere.
Therefore, even if Qing Hancheng is extraordinarily talented, even if Lü Xuanxian dominates an era, they cannot break this law.
Their "Ancestral Talisman" matched their "body", but they couldn’t repair the "innate flawed Ancestral Talisman" upon reaching the Fourth Grade limit, thereby achieving balance.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, though his "Ancestral Talisman" balanced with his "body", couldn’t match it.
