100,000-Year External Soul Bone: Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil! Left Truth-Breaking, Right Profound Instrument!

Innate Full Soul Power, a new Martial Soul trait.

This was not even the true effect of the Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil Lotus essence.

Its greatest effect was on Spiritual Power.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and looked inward.

Lin Qing's consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness.

His entire body froze.

His mind was no longer filled with the hazy chaos and blurred perceptions of before.

In its place was a vast, boundless silver ocean, its waves surging violently!

The seawater consisted entirely of the purest Spiritual Power, gleaming silver and shimmering with ripples.

The sea stretched so far that its edges could not be seen, so deep that it seemed capable of containing the stars.

As the waves rose and fell, they emitted immense and pure spiritual fluctuations.

"The Spiritual Sea... has been opened?!"

Lin Qing's voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with overwhelming shock and ecstasy.

The Spiritual Sea!

This was an immensely crucial milestone on a spiritual-type Soul Master's path of cultivation, a solid foundation for climbing to the peak!

It represented a qualitative transformation of Spiritual Power, the initial condensation of soul strength.

Yet Lin Qing was only level thirty now, still a Soul Elder who had not absorbed his third Soul Ring!

And he had actually opened his own Spiritual Sea!

A silver ocean so vast, so profound at that!

"This Immortal Herb Essence is way too overpowered!"

At the very least, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which Tang San had once consumed to enhance his Spiritual Power, had not produced such an effect.

Lin Qing was beside himself with joy.

His consciousness hovered over the Spiritual Sea as he felt that vast, boundless power.

Spiritual Power like a boundless ocean—what did that mean?

It meant the power of any Soul Skill he used, especially spiritual-type Soul Skills, would increase enormously.

It meant his Soul Power consumption would be relatively reduced, and his endurance in battle would soar.

It meant his resistance against Mental Shock and soul tremors would far surpass that of Soul Masters at the same level!

"Even when I absorb high-year Soul Rings in the future, especially Soul Rings over ten thousand years that can cause soul tremors, I'll have much greater confidence!"

The 100,000-Year Soul Ring that had once seemed impossibly distant now appeared to offer a faint glimmer of hope.

Of course, the road ahead was still long.

But at least he had laid an excellent foundation!

"Immortal Herb Lin Qing, you're a true brother!"

In his heart, Lin Qing gave that self-sacrificing "flower brother" a huge thumbs-up.

"Your original body was truly generous. I'm almost embarrassed to accept this inheritance."

"I'll remember your grudge. If I get the chance, I'll definitely pay a visit to Tang San's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

He took several deep breaths.

Only with difficulty did he calm his turbulent emotions.

Lin Qing knew the surprises were not over yet.

His gaze shifted to the other object floating in midair.

[100,000-Year External Soul Bone: Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil]

At the center of the orb of light, the vague outline of a pair of eyeballs could be seen.

The left eye was pure white.

Flawless and immaculate.

Like the finest white jade.

Yet at its pupil was an exquisitely carved, sacred white lotus.

The right eye was pitch-black.

Deep and dark.

As though it could devour all light.

There was likewise a lotus at its pupil, but it was black as ink and exuded mystery.

Simply looking at it allowed him to feel the immense Spiritual Power contained within.

"An External Soul Bone—and one of the rarest eye Soul Bones!"

Lin Qing's breath caught slightly.

The value of an External Soul Bone was in a league of its own among all Soul Bones.

External Soul Bones could evolve alongside the Soul Master's growth, and their abilities could potentially develop new changes.

Moreover, once perfectly fused, they could never be removed. They were supreme treasures most closely bound to their Soul Master and possessed the greatest growth potential!

And this Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil was a rare eye bone.

He remembered that the Soul Bone produced by the 800,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign had also been an External eye bone.

From its name to its form, this Soul Bone perfectly matched his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul, which had just transformed after absorbing the Immortal Herb Essence.

It was practically custom-made for him!

So there was nothing to hesitate over.

Because he had just perfectly absorbed the Immortal Herb Essence of the Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil Lotus.

Lin Qing's body, especially his eyes and Origin of Spirit, had already established the most solid foundation.

At that moment, as the pair of black-and-white eyeballs slowly approached his eyes—

Buzz!

The black-and-white radiance suddenly surged, instantly engulfing Lin Qing's entire body!

There was no excruciating pain as he had expected, no rejection, not even any discomfort.

There was only the smooth sensation of perfect harmony, as though water and milk had blended together.

As though a long-lost part had finally returned to its original body.

The black-and-white radiance seeped through his eye sockets in fine strands, gently merging into his eyeballs, optic nerves, and even the deeper Origin of Spirit.

The fusion process went exceptionally smoothly.

So smoothly that even Lin Qing found it somewhat unbelievable.

Only fifteen minutes later.

The black-and-white radiance surrounding his body receded like a tide, entirely withdrawing into his eyes.

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he did was grab a bronze mirror from the nearby table and hold it before his face.

The mirror reflected his own face.

The features of that handsome young man had not changed.

But a heaven-shaking transformation had occurred deep within his formerly clear blue pupils.

At the very center of his left blue pupil appeared an extremely tiny yet incomparably distinct pattern of a pure white lotus.

Its petals spread outward, radiating a sacred and tranquil aura.

Deep within his right blue pupil was an equally tiny but deep and mysterious black lotus pattern, as though it connected to endless darkness.

Normally, if one did not look closely or if he did not actively activate them, these two lotus marks were not obvious. They merely made his eyes seem deeper and more spirited.

But once he focused his gaze.

The phenomenon of black and white intertwining, lotus shadows rising and falling, emitted an unusual power that seemed able to pierce hearts and see through all falsehood.

"This External Soul Bone fused directly with my original eyes?"

Lin Qing put down the bronze mirror, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed it.

Very soon.

He understood and mastered everything about this External Soul Bone.

He quickly summarized the core effects of this External Soul Bone, the Truth-Seeing Profound Pupil:

[Effect One]: The total amount of Spiritual Power permanently increased by one hundred percent.

Simple and brutal!

It directly doubled the capacity of the Spiritual Sea he had just opened!

[Effect Two]: The intensity and refinement of Spiritual Power permanently increased by one hundred percent.

Likewise simple and brutal—it doubled both the "quality" and destructive power of his Spiritual Power!

Beyond that, his right and left pupils each possessed a different ability.

"Right Pupil: Profound Instrument": It could absorb Spiritual Power and convert other forms of energy into Spiritual Power.

"Left Pupil: Truth-Breaking": It could see through all illusions and restrictions, and was immune to mental attacks and control effects.

"Hiss—!"

This time, Lin Qing truly sucked in a sharp breath.

"These effects... are utterly heaven-defying!"

There was no need to mention the first two foundational boosts. They directly caused his Spiritual Power reserves to skyrocket!

The key was the latter two pupil techniques!

"Left Pupil: Truth-Breaking—seeing through illusions, immune to mental attacks and control..."

Lin Qing stroked his chin, and the more he considered it, the brighter his eyes became.

"Doesn't this basically give me an 'invincible spiritual defense' buff?"

Of course, he rationally believed that this "immunity" could not possibly be absolute.

If an opponent's Spiritual Power level far exceeded his own, he probably still would not be able to withstand it.

But for spiritual-type Soul Masters of the same level—or even somewhat stronger ones—to try using illusions or mental control to ambush him would become extraordinarily difficult.

This was simply the nightmare nemesis of every Soul Master who toyed with minds and excelled at control!
