Illusory Spirit Vein

The first step to cultivating the Bewitching Spirit Eye is to forcefully open up the "Illusory Spirit Vein" within the eyes.

There are a total of eighty-one Illusory Spirit Veins, each with its own shape, intersecting and crossing each other. The order and speed of their activation are crucial.

When Li Tianming began his cultivation path and attempted to open the first Illusory Spirit Vein, he failed immediately.

The Beast Essence pierced his eyeball, causing it to bleed. The sensation was agonizing, worse than death.

"Is this a cultivation method for humans?"

He couldn't help but doubt.

The Bewitching Spirit Eye had tens of thousands of words detailing its techniques, yet he was in unbearable pain after practicing just one line. He couldn't even imagine what came next.

Moreover, his left eye was now in excruciating pain and couldn't withstand further cultivation. If this continued, blindness was a very real possibility.

Being resilient, he tried with his right eye, only to nearly blow it up. The pain made him tremble all over; the agony in his eyes was truly terrifying.

"To open eighty-one Illusory Spirit Veins, while also considering the order, intersections, and speed, and to do it all in one go... is this a joke?"

Li Tianming genuinely understood the saying: it's not that he doesn't try hard enough, but that his talent is limited.

Why did the owner of this Spirit Core believe he could inherit his legacy and lead him here?

Li Tianming was absolutely certain that he couldn't even take the first step out of ten million to cultivate this Divine Soul Heavenly Book. This was simply not something a human could cultivate.

"I thought I had obtained a peerless cultivation method," he grumbled, a little dejected.

While feeling dejected, he suddenly noticed his left arm wrapped in bandages.

"How could I forget about this eye!"

He suddenly realized. His original eyes lacked talent, but the eye on his left arm's palm was miraculous. It could see clearly even at the muddy bottom of the lake, indicating that this eye might be the existence drawn by fate!

Of course, that was also Li Tianming's eye.

He acted immediately, guiding Beast Essence into the third eye on his palm using the same method. He remained cautious, but what happened next made him want to laugh and cry.

"As expected, in the face of absolute talent, effort is a joke."

The cultivation method that was completely unworkable for his original eyes was like a hot knife through butter for this third eye. It was incredibly smooth, as if it couldn't be any easier. He hadn't even familiarized himself with the subsequent incantations, yet opening the Illusory Spirit Veins felt as natural as breathing. He felt that even if he opened them with his eyes closed, he wouldn't make a mistake.

The entire process unfolded seamlessly. He looked down at his eye and could clearly see the intricate network of Illusory Spirit Veins slowly forming within it. One eye had directly become a cultivation system, much like the human body itself.

Li Tianming only had six Beast Veins opened on his body, but within this small eye, there were already eighty-one Illusory Spirit Veins. Although each Illusory Spirit Vein was tiny, they were incredibly fine and resilient, like the veins of a leaf, completely transforming that eye. It was akin to giving a strong man a sharp weapon.

This analogy was vivid. Li Tianming's original eyes were like two infants; giving them a top-tier Beast Soldier would be useless. But the third eye was definitely a strong man. Now, given a weapon and a cultivation method, this combination of strong man and weapon would only grow stronger.

With the successful opening of the Illusory Spirit Veins, the next step was the cultivation method itself. This involved gradually cultivating the characteristics of the Bewitching Spirit Eye into these Illusory Spirit Veins, and then, through the Illusory Spirit Veins and the Bewitching Spirit Eye, unleashing their power through the gaze and sight, to the point of affecting enemies.

"This left arm is truly incredible." Li Tianming himself felt that this left arm was monstrous. In fact, he had made mistakes when opening the Illusory Spirit Veins, even injuring this eye. However, he felt the eye healed at an astonishing speed, which likely indicated that the Dark Arm was not only tough but also possessed strong regenerative abilities.

"It seems I have quite a few mysteries surrounding me: the Primordial Chaos Beast companion beast, the Dark Arm, and now this Spirit Core."

He wanted to unravel all these mysteries. It felt like this might be the greatest mission of his life.

In the following days, he focused all his attention on cultivating the Bewitching Spirit Eye, while the Little Yellow Chicken wholeheartedly refined the Divine Source.

Five days later, Li Tianming had already made some progress. He felt that his Bewitching Spirit Eye now possessed the ability to bewitch opponents, similar to Beast Masters of the "Dark" element.

This would greatly enhance the usefulness of the Dark Arm in combat.

Bewitching Spirit Eye, Dark elemental power, Steel Shield... and even more that he needed to discover.

"Success!" On this day, a surprised voice rang out from a flame in the secret chamber. Afterward, the flame began to dissipate, and a terrifying aura swept out.

Li Tianming was filled with anticipation. The Little Yellow Chicken's current appearance was too cute and silly, lacking any killing power. He hoped it would return to its former phoenix form, which would be truly magnificent.

Next, the flames vanished.

Under Li Tianming's expectant gaze, eager to see the "phoenix," a fluffy little yellow chick reappeared before him.

"Damn it!" Li Tianming was speechless. Looking at the Little Yellow Chicken, whose appearance had barely changed, he said, "Are you sure you evolved successfully? Why do you still look like this?"

"You little runt, say that again and see what happens! Is success in evolution judged by appearance?" the Little Yellow Chicken snapped back.

"Then what? I heard they become more handsome and imposing. What is this thing? Still a chicken," Li Tianming scoffed.

"Short-sighted, judging by appearance, your perspective is too narrow!" The Little Yellow Chicken put its wings on its hips and cursed three times.

Actually, Li Tianming noticed that up close, the stars in its eyes seemed to have become six. Six stars indicated that it had indeed evolved successfully. Now, outsiders would see it as a sixth-tier companion beast, which was the companion beast of a top-tier expert.

"Li Tianming, you are nowhere near my limit. This mere low-grade Divine Source could at most unlock a tiny bit of my Bloodline Shackles. It will take countless Divine Sources for me to truly become a phoenix. Of course, even as I am now, I cannot be compared to a so-called sixth-tier companion beast," the Little Yellow Chicken said proudly.

Although it looked like bragging, it wasn't. Li Tianming fully believed the hype about Primordial Chaos Beasts, as it also proved his own future potential.

The six stars in its eyes didn't signify much; they were merely a natural manifestation of it unlocking its Bloodline Shackles, unrelated to its true potential. Of course, to some extent, it did prove that its bloodline abilities were definitely stronger than before.

This was the most crucial role of Divine Source. The Eternal Purgatory Phoenix never needed Divine Source to evolve; it only needed it to recover.

"Come, let me let you feel my current magnificent bloodline power," the Little Yellow Chicken said smugly.

"Alright!"

During his first cultivation session, Li Tianming was transformed into the Eternal Purgatory Body. The Little Yellow Chicken's bloodline improvement would also transfer to him. This was the special talent of a Beast Master and their companion beast.

The two, beast and master, shared the same Beast Veins and Beast Essence. During cultivation, their Beast Veins connected, their Beast Essence flowed and transformed, forming a single entity.

In this process, the Little Yellow Chicken's new bloodline power transferred to Li Tianming. Li Tianming could feel his physical strength and talent rapidly improving. This was the effect of one Divine Source, gradually unsealing the bloodline power of the Eternal Purgatory Phoenix!

The surging bloodline power, like a waterfall, washed over Li Tianming. He continuously strengthened his flesh and blood, leaping towards becoming a true Primordial Chaos Beast. This kind of fortune was something others could only dream of in a lifetime.

The key was that this enhancement spread throughout his entire body. The burning power even stimulated the medicinal properties of the raw Fire Lingzhi and other Spirit Essences they had consumed, and it also drew in a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. While cultivating symbiotically, they began to charge towards the seventh Beast Vein!

One day later, the seventh Beast Vein was connected, and he and the chicken entered the Seventh Level of Beast Vein Realm!

Their Beast Veins, as thick as divine dragons, flowed with the lava-like Eternal Purgatory Beast Essence. This Beast Essence permeated their entire bodies, making them seem like erupting volcanoes. Especially Li Tianming, within his Illusory Spirit Vein, Beast Essence also flowed through his Bewitching Spirit Eye, making it appear even more bizarre.

"This way, the Divine Source is used effectively. You've essentially evolved, and my bloodline power has also increased. Then, we broke through together into the Seventh Level of Beast Vein Realm. Moreover, I've even achieved some results in cultivating the Bewitching Spirit Eye..." Li Tianming knew that compared to when they first entered, he and the chicken had become comprehensively stronger!

No matter the direction, they had made huge breakthroughs.

"Bewitching Spirit Eye? Let's try it!" Little Yellow Chicken provoked.

"You?" Li Tianming chuckled. Honestly, he also wanted to find someone to test the effects of the Bewitching Spirit Eye.

"Come on, trash," Little Yellow Chicken said dismissively.

Li Tianming slightly tore open a gap in the glove on his left hand, not enough to expose his left arm, but enough to reveal the Bewitching Spirit Eye.

He suddenly raised his hand, and the Bewitching Spirit Eye met Little Yellow Chicken's gaze. Li Tianming followed the incantations in the Cultivation Method, circulated his Beast Essence, and unleashed the power of the Bewitching Spirit Eye.

In that instant, Little Yellow Chicken's eyes flickered. It seemed to be in a daze, taking a step back, and then stared blankly at Li Tianming.

All of this indicated that the Bewitching Spirit Eye had taken effect. If an opponent were suddenly confused like this during a battle, they would surely reveal many openings.

Li Tianming smiled.

"Holy crap, why did you turn into a naked hen!" The next moment, Little Yellow Chicken burst into laughter, rolling on the ground.

"What?" Li Tianming froze.

Little Yellow Chicken said that when he used the Bewitching Spirit Eye, it turned into a naked hen?

How was this possible!

He wondered if the Bewitching Spirit Eye could be used on himself, so he aimed his left hand at himself and cast the Bewitching Spirit Eye.

Buzz!

He indeed felt a mental jolt, and his vision became hazy.

The next moment, in his trance, he seemed to see his left hand transform into a seductive beauty. The beauty vaguely resembled Jiang Feiling, combined with a figure comparable to Liu Qing. Then, she struck a pose and provoked him...

"Damn it!"

Li Tianming trembled. What kind of skill was this? Confusing the opponent was one thing, but why was it an instant "seduction"!

What Bewitching Spirit Eye, it was clearly a "Seduction Technique."

"Hahaha!" Little Yellow Chicken laughed, rolling around on the ground.

This was humiliating.

However, he had to admit, for example, if Liu Qinyang, during a battle, momentarily saw himself as a naked beauty, what would his reaction be? Regardless of his reaction, this brief moment would be enough for Li Tianming to decide the outcome of the battle.

He thought it was time to retrieve the Yanhuang Token.

He had been away from home for too long, and his mother must be worried.
