294: A flawed jade is a king (Chapter 33)

In this abandoned, desolate world, Wang Yun lost his way.

One year.

For a whole year, Wang Yun traversed this dark red land like a headless fly.

Not only did he fail to find a way out, he hadn't even touched the boundaries of this world.

This heaven and earth seemed infinite.

Worse still, the Laws here were fragmented, conflicting, and full of aggression.

He didn't dare to easily focus on Cultivating in this eerie place.

Every time he entered meditation, he had to set aside half of his mind to stay alert to his surroundings.

"I can't go on like this."

In a canyon piled high with massive black rocks, Wang Yun stopped.

Continuing to wander aimlessly like a headless fly would only waste his energy and eventually lead to his death in this unknown land.

He had to improve his strength.

Although it was dangerous here, those violent Law fragments and strange Spiritual Qi were also a different kind of nourishment for the Azure Heaven Indestructible Art.

Wang Yun found a relatively hidden crevice in the rocks and laid down dozens of defensive and concealment Restrictions.

He sat cross-legged and looked inward at himself.

At his chest, that purple-green-gold tricolored first generation supreme bone had long since achieved perfect Fusion with him.

The innate Divine Ability bestowed upon him by this bone—

"Myriad Things Born." During this year of flight and exploration, he had developed more uses for it.

It wasn't just for stimulating the growth of plants and creating vitality.

In battle, it could instantly sprout vines as tough as divine metal, turning into the strongest defensive barrier.

It could also let seeds parasitically enter an enemy's body without a sound, instantly stripping away their vitality and turning into a cage to trap the foe.

Offense and defense in one, endless and life-giving.

Wang Yun focused his attention on another bone.

The grandmist supreme bone.

It was only one step away from birthing a Divine Ability.

"I will enter seclusion right here."

Wang Yun's expression was determined... cultivation knows no time.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

A thick layer of dust accumulated on Wang Yun; it was as if he had truly become a part of this deathly silent world.

Until a certain moment in the third year.

Thump.

A dull sound came from his chest.

It wasn't a heartbeat.

It was the grandmist supreme bone resonating with the Great Dao.

Immediately after, an aura of extreme nobility erupted from that bone.

Purple Qi came from the east; although it couldn't stretch for thirty thousand miles in this enclosed rock crevice, it illuminated this narrow space like a sacred immortal Realm.

Wang Yun opened his eyes.

"It's done."

He whispered to himself.

The Divine Ability of the grandmist supreme bone had finally finished gestating.

His cultivation base had also reached the True God Realm Middle Stage.

However, before he could carefully sense this new Divine Ability.

A sudden change occurred.

Rumble— The entire canyon, and even the entire land, suddenly shook violently.

This vibration was extremely strange.

It didn't seem like the pressure of tectonic plates, but rather as if some colossal creature had turned over underground.

"Hmm?"

Wang Yun's expression changed. He immediately restrained his aura, dashed out of the rock crevice, and hovered in mid-air.

He looked down.

He saw that the dark red land beneath his feet was undergoing a startling transformation.

Those hard rocks actually became soft and began to rise and fall rhythmically.

It was like... like the skin of some creature, breathing.

"This is..."

Wang Yun felt a surge of intense unease.

His grandmist supreme bone's Divine Ability had just been completed, and the Grandmist dao rhyme that erupted in that instant seemed to have stimulated some kind of balance in this world.

Or rather, it had awakened something.

Crack!

The "ground" below suddenly split open, revealing a huge gap.

From within that crack, a heart-palpitating red light emerged.

Wang Yun was greatly shocked.

That wasn't a crack.

That was an... eyelid.

A massive "eyelid" that was thousands of miles long just by opening a sliver.

As the "eyelid" slowly propped open, a giant "eyeball" was exposed under the grey sky.

It was turning.

Every turn triggered a violent storm in the surrounding space.

But what made Wang Yun's hair stand on end most was.

This thing, although it had the structure of an eye, with a pupil and a sclera.

But the rhythm of its pulsing, the unique life rhythm it emitted.

Was like a... heart.

A giant heart that had grown into the shape of an eye.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Every time that "eyeball" throbbed, it let out a dull roar that made Wang Yun's blood surge and his Divine Soul unstable.

"The eye is in the heart..."

"The heart is the eye..."

Wang Yun suddenly thought of a possibility.

Minds Eye?!

The moment this thought arose.

Buzz!

Wang Yun's own Minds Eye, without any warning, produced an unprecedentedly violent resonance.

Under the pull of this resonance, Wang Yun's vision, for the first time, truly penetrated the surface of this world.

He saw it.

He saw through the so-called "land."

It wasn't soil and rock at all.

It was dried flesh and petrified skin.

He saw through those rolling "mountain ranges."

They were broken, massive bones.

He saw through those ceaselessly flowing "black rivers."

That was necrotic blood that had accumulated for countless millennia.

He even saw through the grey "sky" above his head.

It was merely a diaphragm inside a chest cavity that hadn't yet completely rotted.

A terrifying truth presented itself before his eyes.

This was no Small World.

This was clearly the... remnant body of a deceased powerhouse whose size was beyond imagination!

No, it was a corpse... For the past few years, he had been wandering inside a corpse!

"How is this possible..."

Wang Yun's mind was shaken. Even though he had experienced nine lives of Reincarnation and was widely experienced, he felt a shiver at this truth.

Evolving a world within the body?

What kind of Realm is this?

In his past life as the Three-Lotus Saint, although he could also open up space within his body, it was absolutely impossible for it to turn into such a massive world with such complex Laws after death.

Saint King?

Great Saint?

Or... Great Emperor?

Just what kind of terrifying existence had fallen here, leaving only a remnant body to drift in the Void Realm's turbulent currents?

Wang Yun suppressed the shock in his heart and turned his gaze back to that giant "Minds Eye."

That giant heart was obviously the final core of this remnant body.

It didn't seem to be completely dead, still retaining a trace of instinctive activity.

It was precisely the primordial chaos violet qi that Wang Yun had just released that stimulated it, causing it to open its "eye."

Wang Yun approached cautiously, his Minds Eye operating at full power, attempting to analyze the structure of this "Minds Eye."

He discovered that the owner of this corpse had actually also opened their Minds Eye during their lifetime.

Moreover, this powerhouse's way of cultivating the Minds Eye seemed completely different from his.

He perceived with his mind, turning the intangible into the tangible.

But this powerhouse had actually cultivated the Minds Eye to the point of materialization, even merging it with the physical heart to become a true organ.

"Using the heart as an eye, to see through the ages..."

Wang Yun murmured to himself, his expression obsessed.

This line of cultivation thought was simply inconceivable, yet it secretly tallied with the principles of the Great Dao.

Just then.

That giant crimson eyeball turned once more.

Its pupil was facing Wang Yun directly.

Wang Yun instantly froze in place.

But he didn't run.

Because he found that within that pupil, there seemed to be no malice, only endless Chaos and emptiness.

He grew bolder and approached a bit closer.

Through the enhancement of his Minds Eye, he finally saw the internal structure of that giant pupil.

In that instant, Wang Yun's thoughts came to a standstill, and he froze in mid-air.

Deep within that giant crimson pupil, there was... another pupil nested inside!

Two pupils, one yin and one yang, one positive and one negative, overlapping and slowly rotating.

Under the gaze of these Dual Pupils, the chaotic Laws around them were actually forcibly sorted, decomposed, and reorganized.

"This is..."

Wang Yun's voice was a bit dry as he spat out two words.

"Dual Pupils!"

This fallen powerhouse was actually a supreme existence who possessed Dual Pupils!

"No..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Wang Yun's mind.

"How could the Minds Eye evolve into Dual Pupils!"

Wang Yun stared fixedly at those Dual Pupils, his breathing quickening.

A bold thought sprouted in his heart.

"The Minds Eye, in essence, is also an 'eye'."

"Since it is an eye, why can't it evolve?"

"Since this powerhouse could Cultivate the Minds Eye into a physical form and even evolve it into Dual Pupils..."

"Then why can't I?"

"Why can't my Minds Eye become... Dual Pupils?!"
