Talent: Clear and Pure Spirit Eyes

"What's the panic?" Lu Changning snorted coldly.

"Although our ancestor is currently at the Celestial Person Realm Ninth Layer, he possesses Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact — the Spirit-Devouring Sword!"

"You are all aware of the terrifying power of the Spirit-Devouring Sword. The ancestor planted the Spirit-Devouring Sword Seed within Empress Liu Yue's body! Even I, with my mere cultivation at the Celestial Person Realm Third Layer, am no match for her!"

"So what if that old bastard from Great Chu has luckily reached the Yin Spirit Realm? Our ancestor might not be able to defeat him, but with the Spirit-Devouring Sword guarding the borders, he won't be able to set foot in our Great Qian!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them felt somewhat relieved and nodded in unison.

Yes, on the surface, Liu Yue's position in the Great Qian Dynasty is that of the Empress, the mother of the nation.

But in reality... she was actually the person in charge of the palace, planted by the patriarch.

Ten years ago, Liu Yue participated in the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm, obtained the sword inheritance, and was immediately noticed by the patriarch.

Subsequently, the ancestor secretly took her in as a furnace and planted the Spirit-Devouring Sword Seed within her body.

On the surface, she was the empress, enjoying the utmost respect.

But everyone in the Dragon Protection Pavilion knew this perfectly well.

Empress Liu, who was the most beautiful woman in the harem, was the old ancestor's person from beginning to end.

Three days later, on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm realm.

For the past three days, Lu Feng has barely stopped working.

The Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye can last for ten hours at a time. When his True Essence is exhausted, he sits cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breathing, allowing his mind, which has been using the spiritual eye for days, to rest.

Even so, he had swept away all the Sword Soul and Sword Shadow within a hundred feet radius, leaving only a few dozen Sword Spirit still wandering in the mist.

Lu Feng originally wanted to go to a more distant place to continue absorbing wandering souls, but Lu Shuang had already been sitting cross-legged in the same spot for a long time. She had never spent so much time absorbing Sword Spirit before.

He hesitated for a moment, then summoned the control panel.

[Main character: Lu Feng;]

[Cultivation Level: Great Early Grandmaster]

[Cultivation Techniques: Nine Extremes Essence Condensation Art (Level 5), Progress: 100%; Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye (Minor Success); Six-Zhang Golden Body (Level 30); Spirit Condensation Art (Not Yet Entered); Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash (Level 9);]

[Perfect Martial Arts: Phantom Sword Formation; Phantom Sword Art; Startling Thunder Flash; Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Art; Walking on Air;...;]

[Formation: Four Symbols Formation;]

[Demon Points: 780 million]

In just three days, 780 million Demon Points were earned.

If this pace can be maintained, accumulating hundreds of billions of Demon Points within three months will not be a problem.

Just as Lu Feng was secretly looking forward to it, Lu Shuang's aura suddenly surged, startling him so much that he immediately looked up.

"Is he about to break through to the Grandmaster Perfection?"

Before entering the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm, Lu Shuang had just broken through to the Late Grandmaster. In these three days, she had only absorbed a few dozen Sword Spirit, yet her cultivation was about to advance another step.

Fortunately, most of the wandering spirits in the vicinity had been cleared out; otherwise, this sudden surge in energy would have attracted countless more.

A moment later, Lu Shuang's breathing gradually stabilized. She slowly opened her eyes, her face beaming with joy.

"Congratulations on Grandmaster Perfection," Lu Feng said with a smile. "That explains why it took you so long to comprehend this time."

"Lu Feng, the Sword Spirit I just absorbed contains a sword dao inheritance!"

"Sword Dao inheritance?" Lu Feng was taken aback. "What inheritance?"

To the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye, these Sword Spirit were indistinguishable; he had never discerned which one possessed a hidden inheritance.

Could it be because the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye is only at the Lesser Completion stage?

"Lu Feng, Lu Feng! Are you even listening to me?"

Lu Shuang called out twice before Lu Feng came to his senses.

"Sorry, I was just spacing out. What kind of inheritance did you receive?"

"There's a sword technique called the Raging Sand Sword Technique, which has reached the Great Grandmaster level. Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my original sword style," Lu Shuang said after a moment's thought.

"How about I send it to you?"

Lu Feng waved his hands repeatedly.

"No need. There are so many Sword Spirit here; if I wanted to, I would always find a suitable inheritance. The same goes for you."

Lu Shuang found this reasonable and stopped insisting.

"I need to consolidate my cultivation, you don't need to guard me. I've memorized the locations of these Sword Spirit nearby, you can go and take a look from a distance."

Lu Feng nodded in agreement, but simply sat down cross-legged not far from her.

"I can't discern any swordsmanship inheritance; perhaps my spiritual eye level is simply insufficient."

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated.

"System, upgrade the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye to its peak!"

[Upgrading the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye to the Perfect Realm requires 150 million Demon Points; Upgrade now?]

"Promote!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of powerful True Essence rushed to his eyes, repeatedly tempering every inch of their meridians. The stinging pain intensified, and after a long while, the strange sensation gradually subsided.

[Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye (Perfected);]

Immediately afterwards, the system prompt appeared again.

[Detected that the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye has reached its peak. Consuming 1 billion Demon Points will grant the talent: Clear and Pure Spirit Eyes;]

"Talent?"

Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat. The introduction to the cultivation technique only mentioned that after the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye cultivation reached perfection, there was a chance to comprehend the Clear and Pure Spirit Eyes, but it didn't say that it could be directly transformed into a talent.

If the Spiritual Eye truly becomes a talent, wouldn't it mean that it wouldn't even require consuming True Essence to use in the future?

As for one billion Demon Points, it might be an astronomical figure for others, but it is not out of reach for him now.

At this moment, he still had about 30% of his True Essence remaining. Lu Feng suppressed the urge to immediately accumulate Demon Points and once again used the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye.

The world before them remained black and white, but the difference was that the white light within the Sword Spirit was now slowly flowing.

"Is it that they lack the tradition of swordsmanship, or am I still unable to discern it?"

Lu Feng pondered to himself, then subconsciously glanced at Lu Shuang.

He glanced at it only once before immediately turning his head away.

When Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye was at a minor level of mastery, he could only see the general outline of the True Essence within the other person's body. Now that his spiritual eye is at its perfect level, he can clearly see how the True Essence flows through Lu Shuang's meridians, as if the person is no longer concealed.

"What am I thinking? I'm observing my opponent's True Essence circulation, looking for weaknesses!"

Having found a legitimate reason for himself, Lu Feng looked over with a clear conscience.

Not long after Lu Shuang stabilized her cultivation, she opened her eyes to find Lu Feng staring intently at her, so focused that he didn't even notice she had woken up.

"Lu Feng, what are you looking at?"

Lu Feng did not react.

Lu Shuang slowly stood up, walked to him, and deliberately asked, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good... no, that's not what I meant!"

Lu Feng snapped back to his senses and immediately put away the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye. He was about to explain when Lu Shuang waved her hand with a smile.

"No explanation needed, I understand."

After saying that, she turned and ran towards the nearest Sword Spirit.

Lu Feng opened his mouth, but ultimately did not offer any further explanation.

"Forget it, let's gather ten billion Demon Points first."

He had originally retained 30% of his True Essence, but now only 10% remained. He took out a few True Essence Pill from his pocket, swallowed them, and got up to walk towards the wandering souls deeper in the outer perimeter.

"Huh?"

After walking a short distance, Lu Feng suddenly stopped.

Under the Supreme Purity Spirit-Observing Eye, all the wandering spirits nearby had white light flowing within them, but one Sword Spirit was different. In addition to the white light, there was also a faint golden light hanging in the center of its body.

Without hesitation, Lu Feng reached out and touched the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit burrowed into his mind through his fingertips, and a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Great Grandmaster martial arts technique: Cloud-Piercing Sword Art!]
