Chapter 6025: The Strengthening of Heaven’s Eyes
More and more people entered the realm.
Not all of them were top prodigies; some had benefited from the efforts of others, though there were strong people too.
Chu Feng and the others made use of this time to explore the area. He tried bringing out the Celestial Master’s Horsetail Whisk, but it was to no avail.
The Celestial Master’s Horsetail Whisk was fickle-minded; it was willing to help him at times, but there were also times when it ignored him. Chu Feng could sense that the Celestial Master’s Horsetail Whisk was willing to help him here and had activated its power, but it was ineffective.
There was a limit to what treasures were capable of, and this place was clearly beyond the means of the Celestial Master’s Horsetail Whisk to help.
But Chu Feng still felt that there were clues here. He could vaguely sense it through his Heaven’s Eyes. He was just unable to discern it due to the limitations of his capabilities.
“Chu Feng, you are still too weak. You first failed to find the activating item, and now you can’t find the clue despite knowing there’s one here,” Chu Feng murmured in self-deprecation.
He hated feeling helpless.
All this while, he had been lauded as a prodigy. He didn’t think that he was an arrogant person, but he was confident when it came to his talent. However, he felt like his confidence was being crushed here.
However, he quickly channeled the feeling of defeat into motivation. He sensed that this might be an opportunity for him.
Thus, he stopped and spent some time constructing an isolation formation. The isolation formation was barely enough to fit the three of them, but it was extremely potent.
“Brother Qin, Brother Yuwen, you should cultivate here first.”
With that, Chu Feng rose into the sky and closed his eyes.
Yuwen Yanri and Qin Xuan thought that Chu Feng had given up looking for clues for now, so they sat down and began cultivating. They were in no rush, as they had encountered others along the way, and everyone was darting around like headless flies. This made them think that maybe the clue hadn’t revealed itself yet, and it would appear once the time was ripe.
They had already come this far; G.o.d’s Era wouldn’t just trap them here. There had to be new trials awaiting them.
In truth, Chu Feng didn’t give up. He took a brief rest before opening his eyes, activating Heaven’s Eyes. This time, he activated it differently from before.
He could usually maintain Heaven’s Eyes without exhausting himself too much, but this time, both his eyes and psyche felt incredibly heavy. He was channeling more energy into Heaven’s Eyes, though there was no visible change in it.
This was within Chu Feng’s expectations.
When he got too tired, he would close his eyes to take a brief rest before opening it again. He repeated the process again and again...
Soon, his complexion turned pale, and his eyes turned blood-red. It reached a point where his body wobbled unstably, and he struggled to maintain his balance.
This immediately caught Yuwen Yanri and Qin Xuan’s attention. They could sense the changes in his condition.
Sweat profusely flowed down Chu Feng’s head and drenched his whole body, making it look as if he was soaked in rain. This was a result of the extreme weakening of his body.
What was more terrifying was the condition of his eyes. They weren’t just bloodshot anymore; they had started swelling up. It looked as if they would explode at any moment.
“What’s wrong, Brother Chu Feng? Are you still... observing?” Yuwen Yanri asked out of nervousness. He could sense Chu Feng’s aura weakening.
“Don’t worry, I’m just cultivating,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.
“Calm down, Brother Chu Feng. It could be that it isn’t time yet; the clue might show itself once the time is ripe. You don’t need to push yourself this far!” Qin Xuan straightened up his body and advised worriedly.
Chu Feng smiled at Qin Xuan. “I’m cultivating. You don’t have to worry about me.”
He wasn’t lying. His Heaven’s Eyes would become potent as he advanced his cultivation. That was why his Heaven’s Eyes remained relevant even though the formations he was dealing with now were at a different caliber than those in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
It had been his trump card for observation thus far.
He sensed that there was more to Heaven’s Eyes" capabilities, just that he was still unable to draw out its true prowess.
He was no longer satisfied with letting his Heaven’s Eyes grow proportionately to his cultivation; he wanted to make a breakthrough in it.
He was currently using a method he had come up with to enhance Heaven’s Eyes. He wasn’t sure if it would work, but he thought that this was the time to put it to the test.
Qin Xuan wanted to dissuade Chu Feng, fearing that something bad would happen as Chu Feng was in a truly terrible state. But before he could speak, Yuwen Yanri suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said, “Brother Qin, I believe that Brother Chu Feng knows what he’s doing.”
Those words convinced Qin Xuan to back down, but he was no longer in the mood to cultivate. He kept his eyes on Chu Feng, ready to swoop in to treat him if something happened.
Chu Feng closed his eyes once more. This time, his eyes remained closed for longer than usual. He could tell that he was at his limit too. He would have no choice but to give up if he still couldn’t make a breakthrough.
However, Chu Feng didn’t lose heart. Instead, he looked exceptionally excited.
He didn’t fear failure; he was more excited by the possibility of success. His blood pumped so furiously through his body that even his Ruler’s Bloodline was starting to react as if it was ready to lend its aid to him.
So, he channeled all his spirit power into his eyes as if staking everything on this attempt.
“This will be it.”
Chu Feng opened his eyes.
Boom!
The world around him began trembling. This commotion would have caught the attention of others if not for the isolation formation he had constructed beforehand.
“Is he cultivating?” Qin Xuan’s lower jaws fell agape.
Yuwen Yanri was stunned too.
It was not just about the world trembling around them; what shocked them more was Chu Feng’s eyes. It was the power emanating from Chu Feng’s eyes that invoked this phenomenon.
Chu Feng could hardly repress his ecstasy.
He had succeeded! The method he had come up with worked! He had successfully induced a breakthrough in Heaven"s Eyes.
His eyes could now see much further than the limits of a Half-G.o.d level cultivator or a Saint Dragon G.o.d-cloak World Spiritist, but above that, the clue that he could only vaguely sense earlier was now clear as day to him.
There were many unique places in this realm, just that they were too discreet for him to notice earlier. However, their coordinates appeared as clear as day to him now thanks to his upgraded Heaven’s Eyes.
However, Chu Feng’s eyes soon went dark.
He had reached his limit. He quickly closed his eyes and covered them with his hands. His hands contained a recovery formation that could alleviate the pain. Even so, blood still seeped through the cracks of his fingers.
Shocked, Qin Xuan and Yuwen Yanri anxiously asked, “Are you fine, Brother Chu Feng?”
“I’m fine. We should be able to take the lead here now.”
Chu Feng smiled despite the excruciating pain in his eyes.
He had paid a price for this, as he wouldn’t be able to use his Heaven’s Eyes at all for a while after this. However, he wasn’t worried about that. If anything, he was overjoyed.
Putting aside that this condition was temporary, he had obtained what he wanted with this tradeoff.
