Chapter 192: Chapter 143: The Secret of the Spiritual Eye, Yin Yang Spirit
Compared to before, changes had again occurred on the panel.
The experience required for upgrading a Fourth Order Repair Master had surged a lot, and based on the refresh rate of five times a day, it would take more than four hundred days, over a year.
The Immortal Bone had undergone a strange transformation, with the Yin Yang Immortal Bone coupled with the Five Elements Spiritual Body, Chu Zheng's cultivation speed was undoubtedly much faster than before.
Besides that, a new category "Talent" had appeared below the original Divine Skills.
Clearly, this Spiritual Eye did not belong to the usual Divine Secret Skills.
Talent, bestowed by heaven, is innate and not something that can be cultivated later, but now Chu Zheng had it.
Similar to the Five Elements Spiritual Body he had recently acquired, the panel had granted him something he should have been born with.
Chu Zheng closed the panel and casually took out a Low Grade Magic Treasure he had previously repaired, and then activated the Spiritual Eye.
Soon, his expression changed.
[Shadow Feather Saber (Second Order): Forged by the Embroider Iron Workshop of South Ning Martial Institute, shattered after a great battle, and after over forty-seven thousand five hundred years, you repaired it, no promotion potential (Details)]
Compared to the previous information, the item now displayed more comprehensive data, even including specific years and so-called promotion potentials.
Chu Zheng's gaze stopped on the last 'Details' and chose to open it.
[Detailed Information: This battle saber once belonged to a Yuan Aura Realm Martial Cultivator, had been shattered once, its edge slightly dulled, had slain over a thousand beings, and had honed a trace of murderous aura. Limited by its material, it cannot awaken spirits.
Beings below the First Order holding it are likely to be affected by the murderous aura, which can be cleansed with Moonlight Water. (Attached: Moonlight Condensation Method)]
This was more detailed information about the Shadow Feather Saber, even including specific remedial methods for its shortcomings.
Chu Zheng then took out several more magic treasures and some fragments, scanning each one.
[Ice Ridge Axe (Third Order/Incomplete): Born from the Spirit Feather Immortal Sect's Refining Pavilion over forty-eight thousand three hundred years ago, the core array is shattered, the material has minor defects, repairable (0/30) (Details)]
[Detailed Information: The shattered core array is irreparable, can forcibly be erased, recast with a Third Order Spiritual Mine as essence, and redrawn with arrays, suitable effects are 'Heavy Edge' and 'Enhance Strength,' no promotion potential. (Attached: Beginner Magic Formation Detailed Explanation)]
…
[Heavenly Spirit Pen (Fourth Order/Incomplete): Middle Quality Magic Treasure, can draw Spirit Talismans in the void to fend off enemies, was crushed by the residual force of a fight between powerful beings, repairable (0/300) (Details)]
[Detailed Information: Damage is extremely severe, almost completely wrecked, find a piece of Earth Elemental Jade as repair material to greatly reduce repair difficulty.]
…
[Heavenly Aura Sword (Sixth Order/Incomplete): Originated from the set of the Heavenly Aura Sword Array, one of the three hundred and sixty Assistant Swords, made of Phoenix Blood Wood, repairable (0/2000) (Details)]
[Detailed Information: The sword body is sixty percent damaged, a large part of the spirit formation is missing, find a piece of Phoenix Blood Wood to greatly reduce repair difficulty.]
......
After a series of experiments, Chu Zheng quickly understood the function of the Spiritual Eye, an extension of the panel's functionality.
Previously, he needed to physically touch objects to obtain some of their information, now with the enhancement of the Spiritual Eye, even from a distance, he could see part of the information.
From this information, he also detected some limitations of the Spiritual Eye.
Similar to repairing, it could only be used on objects below his repair rank, the information about Fourth Order magic treasures was much more vague, they not only lacked precise years but also missed a lot of information, although it was undoubtedly much stronger than before.
The practical utility of the Spiritual Eye was significant, for some items that were difficult to repair in a short time, if he could find some materials for supplementation, the difficulty of repair would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, for some items with unknown specifics, reckless contact might pose risks; now with the Spiritual Eye, these dangers could also be avoided.
More significant than the changes on the panel, were the changes occurring within Chu Zheng himself.
Starting from the moment he condensed the Dao Embryo, his soul had been gradually growing stronger, producing Divine Sense, within a thousand zhang radius, every stir of wind and grass was like observing patterns on his palm.
High-grade techniques and divine skills, including magic treasures, required the assistance of Divine Sense to unleash their ultimate power.
By manipulating magic treasures and divine weapons with divine sense, not only was it more flexible and swift than using mana, but the reaction speed increased manifold. The only disadvantage was that, in cases where the divine sense was not yet powerful enough, it was easy to distract oneself during combat.
After condensing the Dao Embryo, his divine soul had been in a state of rapid growth. Following this pace, within a few months at most, he would be able to attempt to fully condense his soul and step into the Soul Condensing Realm.
The soul is the visual representation of a living being's soul, a process of transforming from intangible to tangible once the divine sense has grown strong enough.
The Soul Condensing Realm, and even the Divine Infant, were the same in this process. For ordinary cultivators, it was very difficult and required meticulous care.
However, Chu Zheng was completely different. With the Five Elements Immortal Root in his dantian as the foundation and the existence of the Dao Embryo paving the way, Chu Zheng did not need to be as cautious as ordinary cultivators in condensing his soul.
He even had the intention to try, using the Five Elements into Yin and Yang, to condense a Yin Yang Spirit.
The Qi Refining Lineage, at least needed to break through the Golden Core Realm and reach the Refine Spirit Realm before one could condense the Primordial Spirit. The Immortal Path was undoubtedly faster, with the Soul Condensing Realm already having the rudiment of the Primordial Spirit.
The soul of living beings belongs to the utmost yin, and to transform into the Primordial Spirit, external forces must intervene. The Refine Spirit Realm after the Golden Core is specifically for this purpose.
The Immortal Path is also so. The Nine Transformations of Divine Infant are to allow the Divine Infant to undergo numerous changes, growing to the limit, from extreme yin to yang, and only when the Primordial Spirit is fully developed can one enter the Tongxuan Secret Realm.
Several days later, only after fully consolidating his cultivation did Chu Zheng leave his seclusion.
This seclusion took almost a month.
Counting the days, Song Lingqing's trial must have already ended.
The first thing Chu Zheng did upon leaving seclusion was to open the Heritage Secret Realm.
Shortly after the passage opened, no longer than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Song Lingqing walked out slowly, her aura completely transformed, and her expression held an irrepressible joy.
A flicker of spiritual light passed through Chu Zheng's eyes, and information about Song Lingqing quickly surfaced in his mind.
[Song Lingqing (First Order): High Quality Immortal Bone, True Immortal Descendant, cultivation at the Perfection of the Spirit Spring Realm, practicing the True Fantasy Spirit Technique. (Details)]
[Detailed Information: True Fantasy Spirit Technique features: Can bewitch the opponent's spirit during combat, if seizing the combat opportunity, can win against stronger opponents. With her current power of spirit and soul, she poses no threat to you now.]
Song Lingqing's Immortal Bone had undergone transformation, clearly activated by the influence of her bloodline after entering the Blood Pool, her cultivation progressed further, and she was now ready to start preparing for condensing the Dao Foundation.
"How is it?"
Despite already knowing the current situation of Song Lingqing, Chu Zheng still asked.
"There have been some changes in the Immortal Bone, and my cultivation has improved,"
Song Lingqing concealed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and with effort, she calmly said, "I need to be in seclusion for a while, to switch to practicing the Divine Yuan Transcendence Sutra and then prepare to shape the Celestial Foundation."
Chu Zheng casually took out two bottles of Spirit Pills and handed them to Song Lingqing, nodding, "I need to be away for a while. If you need more Spirit Pills, you can go directly to Elder Gong."
Now that his cultivation had advanced further, the search by the Song Clan's descendants had also started to get on the right track, and Chu Zheng did not want to waste time. He planned to head to Giant Marsh to bring Song Tonghai and the Song Tongxuan lineage into Taixuan City.
Giant Marsh was ultimately too remote from here, and given the current unstable situation, it was safer to be in Taixuan City.
"No need,"
Song Lingqing did not reach out to take them, shaking her head, "The few bottles of Spirit Pills I got from the Secret Realm are enough."
Saying so, she hesitated for a moment, then added, "After entering the Dao, I will leave Taixuan."
She already owed Chu Zheng too much, and now with these favors, she did not know when she could repay them, and accepting more benefits from Chu Zheng without reason made her feel uneasy.
Although Chu Zheng was now her brother-in-law, part of her family, she still couldn't bring herself to accept these considerations with peace of mind.
"Where will you go?" Chu Zheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Biluo Country," Song Lingqing affirmed, her eyes resolute.
Biluo Country, the venue for the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, was always a thorn in her heart.
