37: Chapter 37 Night Meeting Goddess [Part 2]

Is she absorbing the power of that purple ring?

Ling Yichen was filled with shock and suspicion.

Although he had already seen it, he still found it inconceivable.

After all, the moon was in the distant starry sky while people were on the Surface; what kind of ability would one need to accomplish such a bizarre feat?

At this moment, Ling Yichen felt a great deal of curiosity about this goddess.

He suddenly lost all sleepiness, walked out the door unconsciously, took the elevator to the top floor, and made his way to the rooftop.

Looking at Elina from the rooftop provided a wider view, and Ling Yichen could see her state more intuitively.

He could clearly see a beam of light between Elina's eyebrows, and it was this light that was continuously absorbing the ethereal purple mist in the void.

As those purple mists entered the beam of light, it grew brighter and showed a trend of constant expansion, as if it were a portal about to open.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly.

At that very moment, Elina suddenly opened her eyes and looked sharply toward his side.

Instantly, their gazes met across the distance.

Purple energy swirled in Elina's eyes, looking very strange; seeing that Ling Yichen was also watching her, she immediately frowned.

It's him!

She recognized Ling Yichen at a glance.

Because her impression of Ling Yichen was quite deep.

Since she descended from Sky City, among the people who could resist her spiritual sense detection, besides the Six Great Families and a few powerful individuals, Ling Yichen was one of them.

When she met him at school yesterday, she had also tried to probe Ling Yichen with her spiritual sense, but Ling Yichen's spiritual sea of consciousness was as solid as a fortress, and she could not break into it at all.

People who could resist her spiritual sense detection were either extremely powerful and had initially mastered some abilities in this area.

Or they had super strong willpower, strong enough to resist spiritual sense intrusion, and once such people mastered the method of cultivating spiritual sense, their growth speed would be terrifying!

Clearly, Ling Yichen was the latter.

That was why her impression of Ling Yichen was very deep.

Unexpectedly, she had met him again tonight, and at such a critical moment when she was cultivating a secret technique.

You have a lot of nerve, daring to spy on me cultivating a secret technique; do you believe I will exterminate your entire clan?

Elina's tone was calm, but the words she spoke were terrifying.

Especially since she always maintained a condescending posture; if it were an ordinary person facing her, they might have been intimidated immediately.

However, Ling Yichen was not an ordinary person; he raised his eyebrows slightly and then sneered.

Spying? Are you talking about me? I certainly didn't; I just thought the moonlight tonight was charming, so I came out to enjoy it.

It's you, actually; why are you standing on someone's roof for no reason? Be careful not to fall and die, and then try to extort money from them!

Ling Yichen was not a person who was bad with words.

He didn't speak much on normal days, but that was only because he didn't want to.

Now that he had encountered a goddess who loved to put on airs so much, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

You... A flash of murderous intent flickered in Elina's eyes.

But she immediately restrained it.

These few days of the year were the best time to cultivate the Heavenly Eye; she absolutely could not bicker with him here, as it would be a complete waste of time.

Since you bumped into this by accident, I won't blame you, but leave immediately and do not disturb my cultivation!

After saying this, Elina ignored Ling Yichen and continued to close her eyes to cultivate, and the beam of light between her eyebrows lit up again.

Subsequently, the faint purple mist drifting in the void immediately formed strands of purple silk, which surged into the light between her eyebrows.

The more purple mist the light absorbed, the brighter it became, and its shape slowly underwent a change, gradually transforming from a linear appearance into a wheat-awn shape, pointed at both ends and round in the middle, and a small black dot was emerging from the center of the circle, looking like an eye that was gradually opening!

Yes, that's right, it was an eye!

Ling Yichen, who saw clearly what it was, was also startled.

A mythological figure instantly came to his mind—Yang Jian!

In Chinese mythology, there was a person who was born with three eyes, and Elina, right now, seemed to be using the moon to cultivate a third eye, which was truly bizarre.

At this moment, he did not want to leave anymore; instead, he found a place to sit down and quietly watched Elina cultivate.

He actually wanted to see if she could finally cultivate that complete eye.

...

Time passed bit by bit, and he watched for a full three hours.

During those three hours, Elina continuously absorbed the purple mist, and the vertical eye between her eyebrows had undergone significant changes, expanding from the original 1 millimeter opening to about 2 millimeters, and the black dot in the center had gradually revealed the outline of a pupil.

It wasn't until around 4:30 in the morning that Elina stopped her cultivation, and Ling Yichen also planned to go back to catch up on some sleep.

Just as he turned to leave, he didn't expect Elina's voice to come from behind him.

Stop!

Ling Yichen didn't even think about it and immediately turned around.

The moment he turned around, he felt a black light appear before his eyes, and the next second he felt as if his head had been hammered hard by someone, causing excruciating pain.

Before he could have any further reaction, he exploded.

Yes, that's right, he exploded.

His body was like being hit by a bomb, exploding directly and turning into a pool of blood and mud that splattered everywhere.

And at this moment, Elina, standing at the edge of the roof, saw Ling Yichen turn into blood and mud and splatter; there was no excessive reaction on her beautiful face, but there was a hint of satisfaction deep in her eyes.

The Heavenly Eye has initially formed; its power is indeed extraordinary. If I can obtain the purple moon's descent on August 15th, there is hope to cultivate the Heavenly Eye to open completely, and by then, even the Six Great Families may not be my match.

Thinking of the general election in half a year, waves of murderous intent welled up in her pupils.

The so-called general election was indeed to select the most outstanding geniuses from the Six Great Families.

But that was not what she cared about; what she really cared about was the competition after the general election!

Because that would determine which family she would be married off to!

And she did not want to marry anyone from any of those families!

Because she looked down on these dirty commoners on the Surface from the bottom of her heart; she only wanted to return to Sky City, for that was where she belonged.

Thinking of this, her eyes were full of fighting spirit!

She absolutely did not want to spend her whole life in this place, which was devoid of resources and full of ignorant commoners.

Restraining her mind, she took another look at the place where Ling Yichen had exploded, then turned around with a calm heart, leaped up, and quickly disappeared into the night before dawn.

She would not have any emotional fluctuations because a commoner had died.

Naturally, she did not notice that the blood and mud scattered everywhere were gathering toward the central area at a speed visible to the naked eye, and about half an hour later, a complete Ling Yichen stood again at the spot where he had previously exploded.
