Chapter 45 – 44 Eye of Five Colors_1
Back in his cave dwelling, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on the cushion in the secret room.

With both hands holding the Jade Tube, he reviewed the Pill Formula for the Beast Spirit Pill with complete concentration.

The Beast Spirit Pill and the Lingshen Pill had similar effects, and the required materials were almost the same, except the main ingredient was replaced with a Demon Core. The higher the grade of the Demon Core, the better the effect of the Beast Spirit Pill that was refined from it.

The difficulty of refining it was only slightly higher than that of the Lingshen Pill. The Purple Gold Eagle was still quite important to Lin Tianming. It could be used not only for traveling, greatly increasing speed, but also to provide some assistance during spell battles. If nurtured properly, advancing to the Second Order was only a matter of time. With the Beast Spirit Pill, the Purple Gold Eagle could advance rapidly.

After putting away the Pill Formula Jade Tube into his storage bag, he took out the Chronicle of Heavenly and Earthly Wonders and started to search through it carefully.

He had seen introductions to some heavenly and earthly wonders in his family several times, most of which were low-order items. There were only a few high-order wonders recorded, but the Cultivation World was vast and deep, with cultivation existing for hundreds of thousands of years. Although most species were almost the same, every region had different wonders, and many Spiritual Objects were not even collected completely.

Purchasing this book was not just to broaden his horizons, but also to see if he could find clues about the stone from the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwellings.

Lin Tianming was convinced that the colorful stone was definitely no ordinary item; otherwise, it would not have been preserved intact over tens of thousands of years. Even Magical Treasures of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators turned to ashes, but the stone remained intact, which surely made it extraordinary.

He flipped open the thick book, which had hundreds of pages. Each page recorded one type of Spiritual Object. The first part was all about introductions to Spirit Grass, not only with names and pictures, but also with information about their growing environments and characteristics, even including the method of harvesting. The descriptions were very detailed.

“Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus,” a Fourth Order Spirit Grass, with a growth period of nine thousand years. Every thousand years a leaf would bloom, and each leaf greatly enhanced the Divine Sense and physical body of the Cultivator, an incredible treasure for those who practice Body Cultivation.

“Gold Glaze Bodhi,” a Fourth Order Spirit Fruit with a growth period of five thousand years. Each fruit could increase the odds of achieving Nascent Soul by thirty percent, a truly priceless treasure.

Lin Tianming couldn’t help but be astonished. In Wei Kingdom, Nascent Soul Masters were already formidable beings. If the Gold Glaze Bodhi appeared, it would undoubtedly lead to bloodshed because it was a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, and it was likely that no Nascent Soul Master would be able to resist it.

After looking through hundreds of pages, all introductions were to Third or Fourth Order Spirit Medicines, not a single Fifth Order Spirit Medicine. Thinking about it, it made sense since Fifth Order Spirit Medicines had at least a growth cycle of ten thousand years or even longer and were used by those in the Divinity Transformation Stage. That realm was too remote to be recorded.

He read through the entire night, from Spirit Grass to minerals, as well as Spirit Insects and Spiritual Fire. Seven or eight precious items were covered, and he was about to finish reading the whole book.

With only ten pages left, he could finish reading the entire book. Lin Tianming continued to flip through.

The last ten pages were dedicated to the List of Heavenly and Earthly Wonders, recording ten extremely precious objects among the final pages. Some were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and others were almost mythological in nature, with their actual existence still uncertain.

Lin Tianming read carefully and, as he turned to the fifth last page, an illustration completely stunned him.

There, displayed on the page, was a multicolored stone; the book described it as a Spiritual Object known as the Soul Beast’s Eye, which was said to be the third eye of an ancient Demonic Beast, the Soul Beast.

As for the Soul Beast, it was a very unique species among Demonic Beasts. They were already extremely rare in ancient times, and in today’s Cultivation World, they had been extinct for tens of thousands of years. Moreover, only Soul Beasts of the Fourth Order and above could grow the third eye, which made the Soul Beast’s Eye extremely rare in the Cultivation World.

The Soul Beast’s Eye could be refined and transformed into a Cultivator’s third eye, inheriting the Soul Beast’s natural talents and Divine Skills. It could see through most Illusion Techniques and Formations and also had an ability to attack with Divine Sense, making it impossible to guard against and extraordinarily powerful. Consequently, the Soul Beast’s Eye was ranked among the ten great heavenly and earthly wonders.

Lin Tianming was overjoyed beyond measure. Although he had suspected this item was extraordinary, he did not expect it to be so treasured, no wonder it was named as one of the ten great heavenly and earthly wonders.

He quickly took out the stone from his storage bag and began to scrutinize it, not missing the slightest detail.

After carefully comparing, Lin Tianming was incredibly certain that the stone he had obtained was undoubtedly the Soul Beast’s Eye.

He never expected to have acquired such a treasure. Lin Tianming couldn’t believe it; he couldn’t help but slap his face twice, wanting to make sure he was not dreaming.

“Slap slap slap,” three loud slaps rang out against his face.

There was a sensation of pain, apparently not a dream—this was real!

“Haha,” Lin Tianming laughed wildly, utterly delighted. He had completely lost his mind, appearing quite comical.

After a brief bout of madness, Lin Tianming gradually regained his composure.

This kind of treasure needed to be refined and assimilated as soon as possible to enhance one’s own strength; otherwise, delay could lead to unforeseen changes.

Lin Tianming sat down right there and swallowed the Soul Beast’s Eye, directing his Divine Sense to chase it towards the sea of consciousness. The Soul Beast’s Eye, however, seemed to be a living thing, desperately trying to escape. As it thrashed about wildly, Lin Tianming suffered agonizing pain, and blood started to seep from all seven apertures, while his skin began to crack and burst open, looking extremely miserable. If it weren’t for his body’s cultivation, he would have likely passed out.

“Hmph, once you’re in my sea of consciousness, it’s definitely not possible for you to escape,” he muttered.

Enduring the intense pain, Lin Tianming mobilized all his Divine Sense into a large hand and controlled the Soul Beast’s Eye, slowly refining it; otherwise, he might have been tormented to death.

Inside the sea of consciousness, the fist-sized Soul Beast’s Eye, after several hours of refining, was already half assimilated, gradually transforming into wisps of five-colored light orbs gathering to one side.

With ongoing slow refinement, the pain in his body gradually lessened, and the torn flesh began to heal.

A day passed, and Lin Tianming finally refined the entire Soul Beast’s Eye into a walnut-sized ball of five-colored divine light gathered in his sea of consciousness.

Lin Tianming manipulated this ball of five-colored divine light and slowly merged it into his forehead. Suddenly, a smooth spot right in the middle of his forehead split open, and the five-colored divine light burst forth. For a moment, it was as though a five-colored sun hung above his head—the dim secret chamber instantly brightened up dramatically, and the emitted divine light was dazzling to the eye.

At this moment, Lin Tianming discovered that the control center and key points of the entire cave dwelling’s restrictions were completely exposed under the Soul Beast’s Eye, making it incredibly simple to break through them.

Lin Tianming was shocked, the Soul Beast’s Eye was truly defying the heavens—such an artifact used for breaking formations was essentially like cheating!

Although it was unclear if it was effective against all formations, it certainly could see through most Fourth Order and lower formations. Even if it couldn’t fully unravel them, it would provide plenty of clues, greatly assisting in breaking formations—it was already immensely heaven-defying.

He closed the Soul Beast’s Eye, and it merged directly into the skin and disappeared from view, making him look no different from a normal person.

Very satisfied, Lin Tianming decided to give the Soul Beast’s Eye a name; after much contemplation, he decided to name it the Eye of Five Colors.

When used, the Eye of Five Colors would burst forth with blinding five-colored divine light, so being named after the five colors was fitting. With that decided, it was settled.

Having chosen a name, he prepared to leave his retreat and head to Ye Pinghai’s cave dwelling. After three days of recovery, he could once more attempt to refine the Minor Foundation Building Pill.
