Signed In for Eight Years and Received the Forbidden Technique · Heaven-Peeking Earth-Scrutinizing!
Midnight the following day.
A vast, magnificent, and profoundly deep melody echoed in Xiao Yao's mind.
"Congratulations on achieving first place on the Northern Realm Points Ranking. Please use the Starry Sky Immortal Token to enter the True Starry Sky Immortal Path within three days. Failure to enter within this time will be considered an automatic forfeit, and you will be kicked out of the Starry Sky Immortal Path."
Three days! That's plenty of time!
so...
How could anyone possibly be late?
After putting an end to his inner rant, Xiao Yao remembered that it was already a brand new day.
Without further hesitation, he silently said in his mind, "Sign in!"
[Ding! Sign-in successful. Today is the first day after completing eight years of sign-ins, therefore the reward rank has been upgraded to Immortal Emperor Tier.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Immortal Emperor Tier forbidden technique, "Gazing at Heaven and Earth"]
[This technique is extremely powerful; after using it, you will see secrets that are not visible under normal circumstances.]
[Note: The more powerful the secret, the stronger the backlash. However, those with the Heavenly Spirit Eyes bloodline will not suffer any backlash.]
"Then why bother registering anything? Just say I won't suffer any backlash, right?" Xiao Yao said irritably.
[Isn't this to let you know the whole picture? So you won't complain later that the system didn't inform you?]
Xiao Yao thought about it for a moment and realized that it made sense, so he stopped bothering the system.
He then repeatedly recalled the descriptions of peering into the heavens and observing the earth.
Can you see secrets that are not normally visible?
He understood the literal meaning of that sentence, but he always felt it wasn't that simple.
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't understand it, so he remembered that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
So now we should put the ability to observe the heavens and the earth into practice, instead of just daydreaming.
Opening his eyes, which had been tightly closed due to cultivation, Xiao Yao activated his Heavenly Spirit Eyes and simultaneously launched the Heavenly Observation and Earth-Gazing Technique.
Instantly, he saw wisps of golden gas appear in his eyes.
The Fifth Master had the most golden aura.
Xiao Yao thought to himself, "System, what is this golden gas?"
[Beep! Informing the host that the golden gas is a symbol of good fortune.]
"Luck?" Xiao Yao murmured to himself.
The Fifth Master's previous incarnation was the Blazing Phoenix Immortal Emperor, so it's normal that he has profound fortune.
It's actually quite reasonable that Zhuo Dongxuan and Dai Tianwei, who have the least amount of golden aura, are included.
After all, without his guidance, Xuan'er and Xiao Wei might never have been able to advance to the Heavenly Emperor Realm in their entire lives.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yao used his divine sense to focus his gaze on him.
I witnessed a strange scene.
The concentration of the golden gas surpassed that of the Fifth Master, and within it was a wisp of purplish-black gas, which looked ominous.
"System, what is this purplish-black gas?"
[This is a symbol of misfortune; you can obtain specific information through the Heavenly Spirit Eyes.]
"I can't believe I'm still having bad luck?" Xiao Yao was speechless.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the purplish-black gas wasn't very large, but it stood out so conspicuously within the golden gas that it was quite unsettling to look at.
In an instant, the golden light at the edges of Xiao Yao's starry eyes shone even brighter.
Soon, information about the purplish-black gas came into view.
[Because he was a premature baby with severe malnutrition, even after embarking on the path of cultivation, he still suffers from physical defects, which currently require the consumption of the Immortal Emperor Tier rare treasure, the Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit, to eradicate.]
Xiao Yao stood there, stunned.
He never imagined that his premature baby's condition would continue to have such an impact until now.
I thought I had long since cured it through cultivation and the consumption of various rare and precious herbs!
Furthermore, judging from these two words, if it had been discovered earlier, there might not have been any need to use the Immortal Emperor Tier Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit.
Of course, it's never too late to discover it now; it's better than needing Mythical Tier rare treasures later.
At the same time, Xiao Yao understood the power of this forbidden technique, "Gazing at Heaven and Earth."
The biggest problem now is where to get Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit?
After a while, he thought of two ways, one of which was the so-called 'random' reward from the system.
Another option is to ask the Fifth Master, since he was the Blazing Phoenix Immortal Emperor in his previous life and should know something about this.
In order not to disturb others, Xiao Yao Feng Shuyao, who was already resting.
" Fifth Master! Fifth Master! I have something I want to ask you."
Feng Shuyao opened her sleepy eyes, feeling somewhat unwilling.
But this is her newly accepted Direct Disciple; she can't leave a bad impression from the start.
"What... is it, my disciple!"
The Fifth Master's voice was languid and soft, full of drowsiness, and he looked very tired.
Xiao Yao felt a pang of heartache and blamed herself for being in such a hurry.
But since Feng Shuyao had already been woken up, it was best to ask her about it.
" Fifth Master, it's like this, do you know about the Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit?"
Feng Shuyao didn't understand why Xiao Yao would mention the Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit at this time; normally, she would have thought about it carefully.
Right now, all she wants to do is answer the question and then get a good night's sleep.
"This is one of the rewards I placed at the end of the True Starry Sky Immortal Path. If you want it, I can send it to you directly at the end using my privileges."
Xiao Yao's lips twitched for a moment; he hadn't expected that obtaining the Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit would be such a simple matter.
I thought it would be a winding, circuitous journey, like a series of twists and turns.
Having a master who Immortal Emperor Reincarnation is really great!
After reflecting on this, Xiao Yao remembered that the third stage of awakening the Heavenly Spirit Eyes also required Fifth Master.
His gaze fell on Feng Shuyao, whose eyes were already closed. Although he knew he shouldn't ask any more questions, he couldn't help himself!
This is absolutely the last time!
" Fifth Master, my Heavenly Spirit Eyes has awakened to the second stage. Through some channel, I learned that only you can unlock the third stage of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes. Is that true?"
Feng Shuyao frowned, a hint of annoyance showing on her face.
Are they going to let her sleep or not?
Why did you have to ask her this at this time, my disciple?
After asking herself two questions in quick succession, her morning grumpiness subsided considerably.
After a moment's thought, Feng Shuyao realized that she would need to awaken the third stage of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes for her disciple in the future.
"Disciple, I am capable of awakening the third stage of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes, but I currently lack some rare and precious materials. I need to go to the Immortal Realm to slowly acquire them."
Xiao Yao's curiosity was piqued again, and he found himself in a dilemma, even though he hadn't originally intended to ask.
When they finally decided to ask, they found that Feng Shuyao was already breathing softly, clearly asleep.
If he were to ask at this point, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Never mind! We'll ask again after the Fifth Master gets up.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xiao Yao tightly hugged his Second Master's big tail with both hands.
The fluffy, soft, and incredibly warm feeling made him feel like he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Hmm..." Su Tanmeng murmured softly in her sleep.
Four hours later.
Immortal Temple, apart from Xiao Yao and Feng Shuyao who were still fast asleep, Dongfang Xuetong and the other eight people all looked energetic.
"Why are only my disciple and Feng Shuyao sleeping?"
Long Xiaoxiao stared at it for a while before asking a question that was filled with utter confusion.
These words immediately caught the attention of the other seven people.
Bai Yun'er, who hadn't paid much attention at first, murmured to herself, "Yes! Why is it like this?"
"It must be because my disciple and Feng Shuyao cultivated in that picture for almost four years!" Dongfang Xuetong said, revealing the key point.
However, Zhuo Dongxuan didn't think so, and slightly parted her cherry-like lips.
"We didn't see this scene in the previous seven days. Even if it was a coincidence, it couldn't be this coincidental!"
Although this is just a guess and not conclusive evidence.
But having already harbored some doubts, they were naturally more inclined to believe this guess.
Just then, Feng Shuyao stretched and yawned, opened her slightly heavy eyelids, and began to mutter to herself.
"My dear disciple, why are you looking for me so late? I'm still so sleepy!"
The Immortal Temple suddenly became completely silent.
Long Xiaoxiao rushed straight to Feng Shuyao's makeshift bed on the floor, looking down at her with intense murderous intent in her eyes.
" Feng Shuyao, what exactly did you do with your disciple last night?"
Feng Shuyao was taken aback at first. She didn't understand why Xiao Yao's Third Master had suddenly changed into this state.
After a moment's thought, I realized that Bai Yun'er was just imagining things and being jealous!
I have to say, it feels so good to be envied!
At this, Feng Shuyao's lips curled into a slight smile, which deepened as she said, "You mean my disciple? Last night, he was very proactive!"
She paused deliberately here, not continuing, and even showed a look of unfinished business on her pretty face.
Long Xiaoxiao's composure immediately crumbled!
"You're talking nonsense! Your disciple is not that kind of person!"
Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Yao yawned, opened his sleepy eyes, and muttered, "What are you all making so much noise so early in the morning?"
"Disciple! What exactly did you do to Feng Shuyao last night?"
Su Tanmeng, who had been being held by Xiao Yao's big tail the whole time, looked at Xiao Yao with a smile on her face, but her words carried an ominous air.
Xiao Yao's mind cleared instantly, all sleepiness vanished, and he immediately recalled the scene of his Second Master's yandere behavior.
If this isn't handled properly, I'll get stabbed by my Second Master!
But wasn't it just asking the Fifth Master some questions last night?
He didn't even touch Fifth Master's clothes, so how come Second Master was like this first thing in the morning?
He then looked at Feng Shuyao seemed completely unafraid and even had a smile on her face.
Xiao Yao's face darkened; he had already guessed that it was Fifth Master who was behind it.
Why!
After letting out a sigh, Xiao Yao began to explain, "Last night I suddenly acquired a spell called 'Gazing at Heaven and Earth.' After some examination, I discovered that there was a problem with my body, and I also learned that I could solve the problem with the Clear Lotus Dragon Returning Fruit, which is of the Immortal Emperor Tier."
"I asked my Fifth Master, and she said that I would receive this reward once I reached the end of the True Starry Sky Immortal Path."
"Then I remembered the matter of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes opening to the third stage, but I only got halfway through asking about it before Fifth Master fell asleep, so I didn't continue asking."
After hearing this, everyone's faces froze; they never expected the truth to be so uninteresting.
They all turned to look at Feng Shuyao, especially Xiao Yao, whose eyes were wide with anger as he issued a warning.
" Fifth Master, don't go too far in the future. It won't benefit anyone."
Feng Shuyao knew in her heart that her disciple was protecting her in a roundabout way.
Such a good disciple, we must not let him make things difficult for us again.
Having made up her mind, Feng Shuyao slightly opened her red, delicate lips, and a faint fragrance of orchids wafted out.
"To unlock the third stage of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes, we are currently missing three Immortal King Tier items: Blood Sea Spirit Bud, Spirit-Stabilizing Immortal Pill, and Clear Wind Eye."
Xiao Yao nodded, memorizing these three things.
He secretly hoped that the system would be sensible and give him more opportunities for daily check-ins or tasks in the future.
To avoid the situation where we're all heading to the Immortal Realm, only to find that the Heavenly Spirit Eyes hasn't even unlocked its third stage yet.
Of course, the root of all this is that the third stage of the Heavenly Spirit Eyes is extremely powerful.
Once activated, he will be like a tiger with wings, unrivaled in the world.
To conserve his energy, Xiao Yao decided to rest for another day.
One day later.
Xiao Yao and his group of ten arrived at the starting point of the True Starry Sky Immortal Path.
In the perception of the divine sense, even the cultivators with the lowest cultivation level are at the Great Emperor Realm.
The strongest among them possesses the Heavenly Emperor Realm Ninth Level Peak.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yao spoke into the communication bridge he had already established with his five masters, two personal maids, and two spirit pets.
" Fifth Master, just how many lower realms does the Immortal Realm connect to?"
Feng Shuyao immediately replied, "Three thousand!"
Just then, a bright light appeared.
But no one was interested in this, because everyone knew that another true contestant from the Starry Sky Immortal Path had arrived.
Of course, people will also look them up and down, because knowing yourself and your enemy is very important.
"Junior brother? He can actually participate in this True Starry Sky Immortal Path?" Bai Yun'er's voice was full of surprise.
