Chapter 13

"From now on, neither my family nor I will have to worry about running out of ocular power or being unable to recover after using too much of it."

There were plenty of ways to handle that.

Whatever they used, he could replenish it at will.

Even for those Mangekyo Sharingan users who had forced their way up through sheer strain, he had a way to restore their ocular power.

Of course, he would hardly ever do that.

Neither he nor his family would choose such a reckless method.

After experiencing the benefits of naturally awakening his eyes and advancing automatically, Xuan had completely lost interest in such crude methods of breakthrough.

"Besides, only by opening the Eternal Eye smoothly and naturally can I figure out the path ahead and develop a method for perfectly advancing to the Eternal Eye."

If he missed this chance, it would be difficult to find another one in the future.

Xuan suppressed those thoughts for now and did not rush out of seclusion. He closed his eyes again and first tried converting mental power into ocular power.

The process went smoothly and took no effort at all.

Next, he tried it with chakra, and it worked just as smoothly.

Then came Innate Qi. It, too, was effortlessly converted into ocular power.

After that, Xuan used his eye-nourishing method to tend to his Sharingan. Innate Qi was still highly effective on his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and could continue accelerating the growth of his eyes.

The final step was the Uchiha Bloodline Purification Technique.

Xuan used one percent of his chakra to test it and successfully purified a trace of Uchiha bloodline within himself.

That proved this secret technique worked.

Uchiha Meixin stood outside the door and knocked lightly twice.

"Xuan, dinner's ready. Come out quickly."

The room fell silent for a moment.

The next second, the door was pulled open. Xuan poked his head out, his face still carrying a hint of weariness.

"I'm coming."

Meixin looked him over several times, reached out to touch his forehead, then squeezed his shoulders. Only after confirming that her son was fine did she let out a breath of relief.

"You've been cooped up in your room for most of the day. Nothing happened, did it?"

Xuan smiled and shook his head. "Nothing happened. I just awakened my eyes, then figured out something new. I lost track of time."

"Awakened your eyes?"

Meixin's pupils contracted, and her voice suddenly rose.

"You mean you awakened your Sharingan?!"

She grabbed Xuan by the shoulders, her eyes filled with disbelieving delight.

Xuan nodded. "Yeah, it happened naturally. I didn't expect it to happen this soon either."

"What? Little Xuan awakened his eyes?!"

Uchiha Senichi's shout suddenly rang out from downstairs, loud enough for the entire building to hear.

Then came Uchiha Hao's voice, even more urgent and astonished.

"He's only three! He awakened his eyes at three years old?!"

Mikoto's voice followed as well, her tone brimming with excitement.

"Xuan-kun is amazing!"

Before her words had even faded, heavy footsteps pounded up the stairs.

The three of them rushed to the second floor in one breath and surrounded Xuan, every pair of eyes shining.

Uchiha Senichi spoke first. "You really awakened them? Let us see!"

Xuan did not waste words. With a thought, his eyes changed instantly.

A pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan openly lit up before them.

The base of his pupils was dark red, yet they faintly shone with a layer of golden light. The tomoe were not purely black either, their edges tinted with pale gold.

Uchiha Senichi sucked in a sharp breath.

"Three tomoe? You awakened them at three tomoe right away?!"

His son's talent was simply heaven-defying.

Awakening the Sharingan at three years old was already shocking enough, but skipping straight to three tomoe? Who would believe that?

Hao stared at Xuan's eyes for several seconds, but his brows gradually furrowed.

"Why does the color seem off?"

Confusion entered his voice.

"A normal Sharingan is pure red. Why does yours have a golden sheen? The tomoe aren't completely black either... could something be wrong?"

Mikoto hurried closer, examined them carefully, and shook her head. "I think it should be fine."

She paused, then added another sentence.

"These eyes give me a feeling... of great nobility, even a sense of pressure."

"They don't look like they have any hidden danger at all."

"Don't worry. This is an enormous blessing."

Xuan smiled and waved a hand. "This is what a perfect Sharingan should look like. Didn't you notice? My eyes don't have that gloomy, cold feeling. Instead, they feel especially righteous and bright."

"Mm-hmm!"

Mikoto and the others nodded repeatedly. They really did feel that way.

"Also, I feel like I'm being suppressed on a bloodline level. The moment you opened your eyes, I couldn't even activate my own Sharingan. Isn't that absurd?"

Mikoto could not help exclaiming in amazement.

Ever since Xuan had told her about the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Eternal Eye, she had searched through quite a few of the family's ancient records.

She had even secretly asked her grandfather about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

She knew one ironclad rule—the Mangekyo Sharingan absolutely suppressed ordinary Sharingan.

But even suppression did not reach the level Xuan's did.

Xuan only had three tomoe right now.

"It looks like Xuan's eyes really are extraordinary. If they become a Mangekyo Sharingan in the future—no, an Eternal Eye—just how terrifying would that be?"

As Mikoto marveled, she secretly grew curious.

What she had thought of, Uchiha Senichi and Meixin had thought of as well.

"You little rascal... you really gave us a huge surprise today!"

Uchiha Senichi was filled with emotion, but in the end, that was all he managed to say.

"Alright, alright. Let's go downstairs and eat first. We can talk while we eat."

Uchiha Meixin clapped her hands and ushered everyone down from the second floor to sit in the living room for dinner.

"Other than awakening your eyes, did you gain anything else? Did you figure out that Sharingan Cultivation Technique you mentioned?"

At the dinner table, Mikoto could no longer hold herself back and asked.

After all, she remembered clearly that Xuan had studied her Sharingan for quite some time before, and she roughly knew what he had been working on.

Uchiha Senichi and the others all turned to look at Xuan as well.

They all knew about this matter.

"Mm, I figured it out."

Xuan nodded firmly. "I developed the Sharingan Cultivation Technique, and it's perfect."

"However, for now, it only has a perfect version up to three tomoe. I'll have to wait until I awaken the Eternal Eye myself before I can complete the Mangekyo Sharingan and Eternal Eye portions."

Uchiha Hao immediately chimed in. "That's already enough! If we train with your perfect cultivation method, can we make our Sharingan become like yours too?"

His eyes were red with envy.

Xuan's eyes looked far more impressive than ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and they were incredibly powerful too.

Coach, he wanted to learn too.

"More or less."

Xuan nodded. "But in the end, the strength of your Sharingan will still depend on your own mental power and whether your bloodline is pure enough."

Though they all possessed Uchiha bloodline, the differences in purity were enormous.

The Uchiha Clan's bloodline power varied as well, and so did the difference one felt when the Sharingan advanced.

Who said the Sharingan did not have something like bloodline concentration, unlike the Byakugan?

If that were true, how could Indra awaken the Eternal Eye right from the start?

Unlike Xuan, he had not awakened perfectly by simply letting nature take its course. He had forced it out through slaughter and **.

That was enough to prove that the purer the bloodline, the greater the advantage.

"Got it, got it!"

Uchiha Hao and the others nodded one after another, their faces lighting up. "Even so, it's still far stronger than an ordinary Sharingan!"

The group was so eager to learn this perfect Sharingan advancement method that they ate at a frightening pace.

Before long, the dishes on the table had been completely cleared.

Uchiha Hao impatiently called out to Xuan, "Are you done? Can you start teaching us now?"

"Alright, give me a moment. I'll write it down first."

Xuan smiled helplessly, turned around, and went to the study, where he wrote down several cultivation methods one by one.

When he returned to the living room, he had several scrolls in hand, which he passed to Uchiha Senichi and the others.

"Besides the perfect Sharingan awakening method, I also developed a Uchiha bloodline purification technique that uses chakra to cleanse and refine bloodline purity."
