The Necessary Journey

This trial had been surprisingly simple. After looking it over a few times, Guen understood why he had to select a true stamen.

If he actually tried to "pick" one, he would fall into the trap. Not one of the thousand stamens was real. The so-called true stamen was formed by gathering together the fragmented space-times of those thousand separate stamens and making them whole within a single one.

This step required extremely precise control over energy and power. Anyone who made it this far naturally had that quality. The Eye of Yingchuo's stages fit together seamlessly; it was a remarkably clever Legacy.

No wonder King Yingfan had been so confident that day. He had devised a way to select for practitioners capable of precision with energy. Anyone who had received the Legacy of the Eye of Yingchuo would naturally be inclined toward such precision.

The space-times converged, and all the other stamens withered. Their space-times were transferred to the stamen nearest Guen. The silent canopy finally grew fragrant, and amid the scent, Guen received the Legacy.

"So that's how it works."

From the vague contents of the Eye of Yingchuo's introductory chapter alone, Guen could see how this eye technique differed from what he had imagined. It wasn't simply a move that wielded energy to lock down space-time. It was more like the Qi Divine Weapon he had once encountered. At the King-Level Immortal stage, even an ordinary movement or attack often affected the surrounding space-time, whether through fluctuations caused by the Law of Space or disturbances caused by the Law of Time. That space-time was already unstable and fragmented. The Eye of Yingchuo could gather those fragments and direct them toward a fixed area or even an individual. Once enough had accumulated, a mere gaze could create an
