Chapter 766: Chapter 767: Eye of the Blue Sky (Third Update!)

Calm was only temporary and did not last long. Half a year later, one day, the spiritual energy of nature within the entire Three Realms suddenly became restless. Sun Wukong, who was cultivating inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, thoughtfully raised his head, his gaze penetrating the walls of the tower to look towards the place where the unrest was most violent.

“What is that thing?”

Above the firmament in the center of the four great continents, beyond the ninth heaven, a massive dark red eye manifested in the sky. An incomparable and terrifying might spread out from it in all directions.

Whoosh!

With a flash of his figure, Sun Wukong had already reached the doorway of the secret chamber. He walked out the door and down the corridor, where the Puti Patriarch, Demon Master Kunpeng, Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen, Leng Xuan, Luo Bai, and the others had all emerged.

“To the Qiankun Hall for discussion!”

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice as he walked towards the outside of the Heaven-Piercing Tower.

Half an incense stick later, all the senior members of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court had gathered in the Qiankun Hall.

After scanning the crowd, Sun Wukong cleared his throat and with a wave of his hand, a huge water mirror appeared in the center of the hall.

“What is this thing? Does anyone know?”

Sun Wukong asked the crowd.

“This…”

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it before, nor have I heard of it!”

“It looks like a giant eye. How could such a strange thing suddenly appear? That kind of pressure is horrifyingly strong!”

The crowd discussed animatedly; including Demon Master Kunpeng, none of them had seen this thing before. Only the Guiding Daoist looked thoughtful, his face somewhat solemn.

“Guiding Brother, do you know something?”

Sun Wukong, keenly noticing the Guiding Daoist’s expression, directly asked.

“I’m not sure if my guess is correct, but it might really be that thing!”

The Guiding Daoist took a deep breath and spoke word by word, “Tian’s Eye. Have you heard of it?”

“Tian’s Eye? Is that the Tian’s Eye?”

The Puti Patriarch suddenly stood up, his face full of shock. “The Tian’s Eye that can complete the Heaven-Opening feat by slaying it?”

“I remember now, the archives of the Ancient Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court contain records about Tian’s Eye. Legend has it that it’s the physical manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, possessing the might to judge all beings and things in the Three Realms. It only appears when the great calamity turns at its peak! If one could slay it, they could achieve the Heaven-Opening feat, gaining the ability to break through the barriers of the Three Realms Space and go to higher worlds!”

Demon Master Kunpeng also stood up, equally showing a face full of shock.

“The physical manifestation of the Heavenly Dao! Does that mean that this Tian’s Eye is an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes began to turn rapidly. “By slaying it, one can open heaven and have the ability to break through the world’s barriers. Master, Brother Kunpeng, are you certain?”

“Certain, this comes straight from the mouth of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor! The legend passed down from ancient times is also recorded this way!”

The Demon Clan Kunpeng nodded affirmatively.

“My teacher did indeed mention that during the peak of the second cataclysmic war of Heavenly Enshrinement, the Eye of the Azure Sky also appeared. At the time, it was my teacher alone who slew the Eye of the Azure Sky, accomplishing the Heaven-Opening act, thereby giving rise to the current Three Realms,”

The Puti Patriarch nodded as well, and if legends were hard to believe, this was the real experience of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, nothing to doubt.

“But it can’t be that simple to slay the Eye of the Azure Sky and accomplish the Heaven-Opening act, can it?”

Wukong stroked his chin and asked with a deep voice, “Is it a must to reach the realm of the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal or the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal?”

“Exactly!”

The Puti Patriarch nodded, “The Great God Pangu had reached the realm of the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal before he slew the Eye of the Azure Sky. However, he had only just made a breakthrough and his foundation was unstable. Forcing the act of Heaven-Opening led to his eventual backlash and downfall. For this very reason, my teacher always waited until the Immeasurable Catastrophe was nearly over before launching an attack on the Eye of the Azure Sky, finally slaying it, achieving Heaven-Opening and rebuilding the Three Realms!”

“That difficult, huh?”

Luo Bai blinked, frowning, “There’s currently no one in the Three Realms who has achieved the realm of the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal or the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal. To slay that Heavenly Dao’s Eye and complete Heaven-Opening is simply impossible!”

“Indeed, to slay the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation, the Eye of the Azure Sky, it’s simply impossible without reaching the realm of the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal or the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal and breaking free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao Laws!”

The Puti Patriarch nodded again.

“Master, what would happen if we do not accomplish this Heaven-Opening?”

Wukong asked thoughtfully.

If we fail to accomplish it? If it’s not completed, then when the third Immeasurable Catastrophe ends, that will be the day the space of the Three Realms is destroyed. Everything will return to the void and then, under the influence of the Heavenly Dao Laws, will gestate anew, forming a new Three Realms. However, by then, all beings within the original Three Realms will have vanished into the void, only to be reborn!”

“Hiss~!”

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively inhaled a cold breath, and even Leng Xuan couldn’t help but speak up, “Puti Patriarch, isn’t it said that the Heavenly Dao Saint can survive through countless cataclysms? Can’t even they avoid this?”

“Of course, the Heavenly Dao Saint can, but apart from the Heavenly Dao Saint, no one else can escape!”

The Puti Patriarch said in a heavy tone, “Moreover, even if the Heavenly Dao Saint manages to survive, their strength will significantly regress, and they’ll have to re-adapt to the new Heavenly Dao Laws.”

“What should we do?”

Everyone was in a panic. If they didn’t slay the Eye of the Azure Sky, everyone, except for the Heavenly Dao Saint, was doomed to vanish into the void. Yet, to slay the Heavenly Dao’s Eye, one must achieve the Dao by Slaying the Three Corpses to Become a Saint and reach the realm of the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal or Prove the Tao by force to reach the realm of the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal!

This was simply a dead end!

“There’s really no need to panic so much!”

The Puti Patriarch, seeing everyone discussing tumultuously, exchanged a glance with the Guiding Daoist before speaking, “There are at least five hundred years from the emergence of the Eye of the Azure Sky to the end of the third Immeasurable Catastrophe. As long as someone can make a breakthrough and slay the Eye of the Azure Sky during this period, the Three Realms Space can continue on.”

“That’s right! The Great Dao Laws of today’s Three Realms have undergone significant changes, greatly reducing the difficulty of Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint. Similarly, the difficulty of Slaying the Three Corpses to Achieve the Dao and Proving the Tao by force has also reduced significantly. Over the span of five hundred years, it should still be possible for a Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal or a Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal to emerge.”

The Guiding Daoist spoke, casting his gaze towards Sun Wukong, and the others also turned their eyes to Wukong.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Sun Wukong suddenly felt a chill on his back, “I’m merely a Half-Step Saint, still far from true sainthood!”
