Bewitching Spirit Eye

Sucked into the black vortex, Li Tianming tumbled head over heels.

"Where am I?" He immediately scrambled to his feet and found himself in a secret chamber. The four walls were black, the stone floor beneath him exceptionally hard. The only opening was a circular passage in the ceiling, its walls made of bronze—likely the well he fell into.

"I must be at the bottom of the well."

His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. In this sealed chamber, he found only two items: the Divine Source that had fallen from above, and another object placed before him. It appeared to be a white jade sphere, perfectly round and pure white, emitting a crystalline glow.

It was this white jade sphere that illuminated the entire chamber, preventing it from being plunged into darkness.

"What do you think this is?" Li Tianming brought Little Yellow Chicken out of his Companion Space. Honestly, he found the white jade sphere a bit strange and didn't dare to act rashly.

"There really is something here?" Little Yellow Chicken circled the white jade sphere once before stating, "It's quite peculiar. Figure it out yourself. Give me the Divine Source; I can't wait to evolve."

"It's in here?"

"Where else? Your father is still out there. Who knows when they'll break in," Little Yellow Chicken rolled its eyes.

Refining the Divine Source to evolve was a process primarily undertaken by Companion Beasts. If the evolution was successful, the enhanced bloodline abilities of the Companion Beast would further transform the Beast Master during subsequent cultivation. Li Tianming only needed to guard the process.

"They think I'm a First-tier Companion Beast and surely believe I can't refine this Divine Source. Little do they know, my so-called evolution is more about breaking through my own Bloodline Shackles," Little Yellow Chicken said with disdain and pride.

"Alright, stop bragging." Li Tianming handed the Divine Source to it. Of course, he wasn't worried about Little Yellow Chicken being unable to handle the Divine Source.

Although he had heard that the process of Companion Beasts absorbing Divine Source for evolution was fraught with variables, often requiring elders to guard and assist, with many historical cases of failed evolutions, even deaths during the process. Youngsters' Companion Beasts rarely dared to evolve alone. However, he felt the Eternal Purgatory Phoenix wouldn't have such issues; it could even eat Spirit Ore raw.

Little Yellow Chicken was overjoyed to receive the Divine Source, its eyes sparkling like a child who had received their favorite toy.

"You examine this sphere first. I'll start once there's no problem." Despite its carefree demeanor, it was quite meticulous, patiently waiting with the Divine Source in hand.

Li Tianming was also eager. He stood beside the white jade sphere.

"This well uses the Divine Source as a key. After entering, with only this white jade sphere remaining, its value must be several times that of the Divine Source," Li Tianming mused.

"That depends on whether you have the fortune to obtain it."

"Mm."

Li Tianming nodded, ready. He reached out and touched the white jade sphere. It felt cool, but there was no resistance. He picked it up and examined it closely.

The white jade sphere was incredibly pure and smooth, with no flaws on its surface. Li Tianming turned it around a few times, feeling it was just an ordinary piece of jade, seemingly nothing unusual.

Just then, an eye appeared on the white jade sphere!

The eye materialized without warning, meeting his gaze as if a person had suddenly appeared before him!

As his eyes met the eye on the sphere, Li Tianming's mind buzzed. The world spun, heaven and earth inverted. Then, with a roar, he felt dizzy and disoriented. In the next instant, he seemed to have entered a world of pure white light. Everywhere he looked was blinding glare, and he could see nothing. He heard countless whispers, as if thousands upon thousands of people were before him, yet also miles away.

"Illusory Heaven Realm, I am the Supreme. In the unseen, I have drawn you here!"

A booming voice suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth, each word exploding like a cannonball in Li Tianming's mind, ensuring he would remember it clearly.

This statement contained two pieces of information. The first was undoubtedly from the owner of the white sphere, who claimed to be the Supreme within the Illusory Heaven Realm. Unfortunately, Li Tianming had never heard of such a place.

The second part was more mysterious. What did "drawn you here in the unseen" mean? He had initially come for the Pure Spirit Grass, then learned about the Divine Source from Jiang Feiling. It was thanks to the eye on his left arm that he discovered this well. How could he have been "drawn here in the unseen" by this person?

"Young one, when you cultivate my 'Divine Soul Heavenly Book' to the 'Heavenly Extreme Eye' level, the 'Spirit Core' will truly awaken. Only then can you enter the Illusory Heaven Realm and pursue my divine miracles!"

Another voice that made his head ring.

This statement held even more information. Firstly, this person had left behind something called the "Divine Soul Heavenly Book," which, judging by its name, was likely a Cultivation Method. Secondly, Li Tianming had to cultivate it to the "Heavenly Extreme Eye" level before a thing called the "Spirit Core" would truly awaken, allowing him to reach the place called the "Illusory Heaven Realm."

He suspected that the so-called "Spirit Core" was the white jade sphere in his hand, that eye.

Before Li Tianming could fully process this, the white world continued to shift. Golden mist suddenly gathered before his eyes, swirling and transforming until it formed golden characters.

"First Tier of the Divine Soul Heavenly Book: 'Bewitching Spirit Eye'." Li Tianming recited the characters aloud.

The golden text was vast and complex, but with each word he uttered, it was etched into his mind, remembered with perfect clarity. After about fifteen minutes, he finished reciting all the characters.

At that point, a complete Cultivation Method for "Bewitching Spirit Eye" was imprinted in his heart, impossible to forget.

"Once the 'Bewitching Spirit Eye' is cultivated to perfection, the second tier of the Divine Soul Heavenly Book will be unlocked," the voice reappeared.

Li Tianming was still somewhat dazed. He shook his head and suddenly realized the white world had vanished. He was back in the secret chamber, the white jade sphere still in his hand, but the eye that had appeared was gone.

"What were you doing? Chanting scriptures for ages, I thought you were joining a monastery," Little Yellow Chicken exclaimed, staring at him with wide eyes.

It took Li Tianming a while to react. He examined the white jade sphere in his hand for a long time. The light emanating from it had begun to dim, and it seemed unresponsive no matter what he did.

The inheritance was complete. It was likely that the sphere would only react again when Li Tianming made progress in cultivating the Divine Soul Heavenly Book.

"Do you know of a place called the Illusory Heaven Realm?" Li Tianming asked. He considered himself knowledgeable, having read many books from Yanhuang Academy, but he had never heard of this place.

"No."

"I think I've obtained a great fortune."

"What fortune?"

"A Cultivation Method called the 'Divine Soul Heavenly Book.' It's somewhat similar to the methods of a '**' type Beast Master," Li Tianming replied.

The ** type was a rare breed of Companion Beast, generally of high grade. It was said that Liu Qing was a rare ** type Beast Master, possessing a ** type Companion Beast. Such beings possessed the power to confuse souls and spirits, making them difficult to defend against, capable of bewildering opponents in battle, and even controlling souls.

"Then try cultivating it. After I refine the Divine Source, we'll see your progress."

It had already begun refining the Divine Source!

Since it would take some time, Li Tianming sat down to carefully study the first tier of the "Divine Soul Heavenly Book," "Bewitching Spirit Eye."

This is a cultivation method, not a battle art.

Elemental Beast Masters also have some "battle arts." Li Tianming had seen them before, but they were not the same type as the Divine Soul Heavenly Book he now recalled. Battle arts are built upon the foundation of Elemental Beast Masters to be cast. Ordinary people cannot cultivate them, but this Divine Soul Heavenly Book directly forges the user into an Elemental Beast Master by training their eyes.

This unbelievable cultivation method should belong to the category of "special cultivation methods."

There are two types of cultivation methods: besides special cultivation methods, the other is the very common "realm cultivation method." For example, the Profound Gold Art and the Eternal Purgatory Scripture are both realm cultivation methods. Realm cultivation methods convert spiritual energy from heaven and earth into Beast Essence, break through realms, and condense Spiritual Sources. They are the foundation of cultivation, even more important than battle arts.

Li Tianming had heard that previous generations had also created some special cultivation methods that could be created from nothing and attached to the system of realm cultivation methods. Today, he finally witnessed it. For example, the Divine Soul Heavenly Book does not conflict with the Eternal Purgatory Scripture at all.

He began to ponder the cultivation method for the "Bewitching Spirit Eye."

"It's a bit terrifying. It's equivalent to opening up 'Illusory Spirit Veins' within the eyeball for Beast Essence to travel through. The Illusory Spirit Veins are very small and need to spread throughout the entire eyeball. This is not a natural passage, but a forceful opening. A slight failure could completely destroy the eye."

"The first level of the Bewitching Spirit Eye requires opening up eighty-one Illusory Spirit Veins in a single eye, allowing Beast Essence to circulate within it. Such a delicate cultivation method carries immense danger. Those without special talent for their eyes cannot cultivate it at all."

"However, once successfully cultivated, this eye becomes the Bewitching Spirit Eye. Even if one is not an Elemental Beast Master, they can create 'elemental' effects, and may even be stronger than Elemental Beast Masters."

"The Bewitching Spirit Eye is already this complex. I wonder what level the 'Heavenly Extreme Eye,' which can allow the Spirit Core to open the Illusory Heaven Realm, is?"

Li Tianming had a premonition that what he had obtained might truly be a great treasure. As long as he could cultivate it well, it would definitely bring significant benefits.

"It feels like a peerless treasure. I wonder how it compares to the Saint Beast Battle Soul I obtained before?" He felt his luck was indeed quite good. From his sixth sense, this "Spirit Core" in his hand might not be inferior to the Saint Beast Battle Soul.

Moreover, he obtained this in a very ordinary place.

"There is indeed knowledge in the unseen." He felt he had encountered too many things in the unseen, like his encounter with Jiang Feiling, which gave him that feeling.

He almost believed that obtaining this "Spirit Core" was not just luck, but that the owner of the Spirit Core was summoning him from the unseen.

"Let's start cultivating!"

With that thought, his heart surged with excitement. He felt like he was the chosen one. This feeling was great, but it was enough to fantasize about it. After all, if he became too complacent, he wouldn't know where he would stumble again. The incident three years ago had already been a severe fall.

Therefore, in his dictionary, there was no "chosen one."

Only, get stronger, and get revenge!
