Eye of Life

A massive surge of life force erupted once more from the Blade of Life, washing over every corner of his body from the outside in, much like a tidal wave.

The Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul, previously suppressed deep within Bei Bei's body, established a connection with this influx of life energy.

Radiant power and life force flooded his body, purifying, expelling, and suppressing the dark forces that had taken hold.

"What is this thing? To possess such vast, pure life force!" Mu En was somewhat shocked; despite his two hundred years of experience, he could not identify what it was.

"Some time ago, Bei Bei kept sending people to find a carving knife called the Spirit-Devouring. Could it be this?" Zhang Lexuan finally saw clearly that what Bei Bei held in his hand was indeed a carving knife.

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Mu En frowned slightly. He did not know much about soul tools, let alone the carving knives used to craft them.

"Bei Bei should be fine now; it seems he has gained a great benefit." Mu En looked at the wounds on Bei Bei's body, which were slowly healing under the pure life force, and finally set his mind at ease. "As for the specifics, we will have to wait until Bei Bei wakes up to tell us."

Although Zhang Lexuan was anxious, seeing that Mu En had returned to his usual calm and composed state, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her eyes remained fixed on Bei Bei; she could not bear to think of what might happen if he suffered any misfortune, as she would surely collapse.

Bei Bei felt his body growing warm. The Blade of Life, which had pierced his forehead, began to melt slowly, transforming into a jade-green liquid that flowed into the tiny wound.

The pure life force enveloped his entire body, causing massive changes to his skin, muscles, bones, and meridians.

Even his spiritual sea, nourished by the life force, expanded by more than threefold.

On his forehead, a vertical pupil slowly formed, containing a jade-green sphere that resembled an eyeball, radiating pure life energy.

With the formation of this third eye, Bei Bei's second martial soul, the Dark Sacred Dragon, fell silent once more.

Bei Bei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mu En and Zhang Lexuan before him.

Seeing their worried expressions, Bei Bei gave an awkward smile and said, "Great-Grandfather, Sister Lexuan, I've made you worry!"

He could feel that his soul power, after merging with the Eye of Life, had increased by at least two levels.

Bei Bei was uncertain whether this increase came from the Eye of Life or from the absorption of the evil intent within the carving knife when his Dark Sacred Dragon martial soul had lost control earlier.

"Bei Bei, you are not allowed to do this again next time. You scared me to death!" Seeing that Bei Bei had recovered, Zhang Lexuan immediately rushed over and pulled him into an embrace, her voice trembling slightly.

Bei Bei felt his cheeks sink into a pair of soft curves and hurriedly patted her back, causing Zhang Lexuan to release him.

"Bei Bei, what is your third eye? And what happened earlier?" Mu En asked curiously, pointing to Bei Bei's forehead.

"Great-Grandfather, I've been taking courses at the Soul Tool Department recently, so I wanted to find a good carving knife to use for crafting soul tools in the future," Bei Bei said, having already prepared his explanation.

"Some time ago, the Star Light Auction House in Star Luo City had this Spirit-Devouring carving knife, which was cursed by evil intent. I had someone buy it, intending to ask you to purify the evil power within it."

"I didn't expect that as soon as I got my hands on it, the evil power inside the knife would draw out my Dark Sacred Dragon martial soul. It devoured that evil power, and that was what caused the loss of control."

Bei Bei manipulated the Eye of Life on his forehead, and a jade-green carving knife flew out from it, landing in his hand while radiating pure life energy.

"This is the purified Spirit-Devouring carving knife; I call it the Blade of Life." Bei Bei held up the Blade of Life and continued, "The Blade of Life is forged from a special metal called Life Gold. It possesses massive amounts of life energy, but if not used correctly, it will drain the user's life force in return."

"Life Gold is formed from the solidification of the purest life force; it is a heavenly treasure that only appears after being nurtured for tens of thousands of years." Bei Bei said excitedly to Mu En, "Great-Grandfather, with this Blade of Life, there might be a way to heal the injuries at your waist."

Bei Bei could sense that he could heal any physical trauma through the life force stored within the Life Gold. If he could draw upon it fully, repairing the damage to his origin might not be impossible.

Zhang Lexuan, standing to the side, was equally moved upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Mu En reached out and touched the Blade of Life. A vast and pure life force flowed through his hand and into his body, healing the pain within him.

As long as the power of the Life Gold could act directly upon the source of life, it could heal the fundamental injuries within Mu En's body.

However, to completely restore his body, he would still need to straighten his bent spine.

"Elder Mu, this is a matter of great importance. The top priority is to convene the elders of the Sea God Pavilion," Zhang Lexuan said.

Mu En nodded and returned the Blade of Life to Bei Bei.

Not long after, Mu En convened a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion within the Golden Ancient Tree.

Bei Bei was also granted an exception to attend this meeting.

After Mu En recounted the events, Bei Bei demonstrated his Eye of Life to the group and retrieved the Blade of Life from it.

"Tsk tsk, Life Gold! I never expected such a peculiar metal to exist in this world," Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo exclaimed.

Although she was also a soul tool master, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a rare and peculiar metal.

"What vast and pure life force!" Life Douluo, Elder Zhuang, stared fixedly at the Blade of Life.

His martial soul was the top-tier plant-type martial soul, the Tree of Life; the attraction of the Blade of Life to him was immense.

"Since the teacher's injuries have been treated, let us make the arrangements quickly!" Yan Shaozhe said, unable to hide his impatience.

The other elders nodded in agreement.

As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En was the spiritual pillar of the entire Shrek Academy.

With him presiding over Shrek Academy, even if the Sun Moon Empire were restless, they would not dare to rashly invade the Douluo Continent.

"To be safe, we must go to Star Luo City and invite the Medical Immortal Douluo, Wang Xian'er," Elder Zhuang suggested. "Her mastery of the path of life far exceeds my own."

"I will go now," Elder Xuan said, immediately setting off.

Because the matter was of such great importance, the group did not disperse even after the meeting concluded.

Instead, they gathered around Bei Bei, eager to study his Eye of Life and the Blade of Life.

Qian Duoduo stepped forward impatiently and asked, "Soul tools crafted by top-tier carving knives often possess special effects. Bei Bei, have you tested it yet?"
