"The Jade-Eyed Heavenly Net?"
Hua Yaosong exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing that the Corpse Immortal did indeed know of it, Cheng Xinzhan was overjoyed and hastily said,
"What sort of Dharma Treasure is it? Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."
Hua Yaosong thought for a moment, then said,
"It is Demon Corpse Gu Chen's exclusive Dharma Treasure. It can attack, defend, gather things, and lay formations. Though its demonic aura towers into the heavens, it is indeed a rare treasure. But to my knowledge, this Jade-Eyed Heavenly Net was destroyed long ago. Where did you see it, sir?"
"Destroyed?"
Surprised, Cheng Xinzhan asked,
"When was it destroyed, and how?"
Hua Yaosong answered,
"That was before Gu Chen was sealed away by True Person Long Eyebrow. Back then, Gu Chen had cultivated to the Fifth Realm. Relying on this Jade-Eyed Heavenly Net, he roamed unchecked across the world, committing all manner of evil, with few able to stop him.
"In the final years of the Yuan, the world was in chaos and demons rose on every side. Gu Chen came to Qingzhou to plunder and slaughter the common people. Dharma Master Yutian, then the abbot of Jiuhua Mountain, left his mountain and fought Gu Chen beyond the heavens. Their battle darkened heaven and earth, and only at the end did he destroy this evil treasure of Gu Chen's. Unfortunately, he failed to hold Gu Chen there and let him escape.
"According to Dharma Master Yutian afterward, while the two were fighting beyond the heavens, he heard Gu Chen boast that this treasure was exceedingly difficult to refine. Ten thousand members of the same race, all possessing cultivation and related to one another by blood, had to be killed together. Their eyes were then taken and refined into a single treasure of unmatched power."
