Chapter 450: Chapter 46: Gaining Four Techniques in Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Returning Fully Loaded!

[Heavenly Eye Skill]

[High Grade: Phase One]

[Effect: The soul connects with the power of heaven and earth, can see spirits, and uncovers counterfeit spells.]

"The life soul inhabits the body, the mortal eyes hinder the life soul from seeing the world."

"But now, I have opened my Heavenly Eye, which is like a weakened version of Divine Sense," Zhao Xing introspected within his sea of consciousness.

The life soul in the sea of consciousness looked exactly like him, although it was somewhat ethereal. However, its eyes were a light golden color and much more solid than the rest of its body.

High-level Heavenly Eye Skill, following the advancement path, will eventually evolve into a Divine Skill—[Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing].

This Divine Skill is quite monstrous, capable of monitoring an enemy’s every move from thousands of miles away.

However, the birth of this Divine Skill would only occur during the Spiritual Energy Recovery Era.

For now, the Heavenly Eye Skill can only be cultivated to the topmost level.

"Sixth Grade Heavenly Gang, Pure Essence of Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade Primordial Spirit, Third Grade Primordial Soul."

"Step by step, growing stronger until reaching the Third Grade Realm, the life soul will also strengthen, no longer confined by the body, and can momentarily leave the body."

"However, to achieve soul wandering in the void, one needs more support," Zhao Xing recalled seeing the ’Blood Spirit Venerable’ in Gucheng.

Like the ’Blood Spirit Venerable’, not only could he wander the void, but he could also split his life soul.

However, his method utilized the blood sacrifice of his followers, using their faith, blood, and souls as bases, preserved across the world.

The method of Blood Spirit Venerable could go a long way, but his individual strength was comparatively weak.

Back then, in the abandoned workshop in Gucheng, even a Yin God like Duke East Lake could fight with it for a long time.

But for the Blood Spirit Venerable, losing one part of the life soul was inconsequential as long as the main body remained unharmed, just as nails could grow back after being clipped.

If the life soul itself were damaged, though, it would be troublesome; most treasures that could heal the soul were of the seventh tier or higher.

"Reaching the Third Grade, the life soul can wander the void, that’s when one is truly powerful," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

This void refers to an expansive space.

Though leaving the body as a life soul is dangerous, why do people still like to do it?

Obviously, because it has benefits.

"Once I reach the Third Grade Soul Realm, I can let my life soul wander the Yin Realm, search for rare plants there, and bring them back to cultivate myself."

"The native species of the Yin Realm are mostly of the seventh tier or higher, like the Soul Devouring Tree, White Bone Tree, Hundred Ghosts Vine... these are all strong combat-ready species."

Having a powerful life soul has many benefits.

Taking Life Soul Pills, for instance, brings extraordinary benefits.

If a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist consumes it, once his life soul reaches the sixth grade, his control over his body would strengthen significantly, such as being able to switch from using a single sword to dual wielding instantly.

That’s akin to enhancing a martial artist’s innate talent!

If someone like Long Xiao, a sword cultivator, took the Life Soul Pill, he might be able to control an additional flying sword!

The enhancement of combat capability is obvious!

For Zhao Xing, once his life soul reached the early sixth grade, his control over spiritual energy and spells would strengthen.

He would experience breakthroughs in two spells immediately.

However, Zhao Xing felt that the most significant gain was not the [High-level Sleep Bug] or [Heavenly Eye Skill].

It was the ’Grassman Skill.’

Zhao Xing hadn’t tried it yet, but he had a feeling that if he attempted to integrate ’four skills’ or ’five skills’ now, it would be much easier than before.

He would also be able to control a greater number of Grassmen at the same time.

"Having taken the Life Soul Pill, perhaps I could master the Self Grassman and perform myriad skills like Lao Liu at an early stage."

The Self Grassman was something Zhao Xing definitely wanted to learn.

Using the Self Grassman to perform myriad skills equates to low-cost trial and error—letting the ’Self Grassman’ try out any dangerous spells or spells with side effects first.

This way, in case of any irreversible damage, his main body wouldn’t be harmed.

The Self Grassman is essentially a ’human panel’ to constantly trial and error, finding the most accurate methods.

Liu Tianning was remarkable, and there was a reason for that!

His Ten Thousand Skill Palace had so many Self Grassmen, almost incessantly practicing spells; it’s hard to imagine how strong Liu Tianning actually was in battle.

When Zhao Xing was facing the Heart Inquiry Platform, the illusion formed by his subconscious ultimately sought ’Liu Tianning’s help to break free from the intense interference of the illusion.

This was actually because Zhao Xing had thought of Liu Tianning, recalled those scenes from Ten Thousand Skill Palace, and affirmed himself, then he broke free from the illusions.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to consolidate his thoughts and concentrate, continuously reincarnating within the illusion.

"I now know eleven high-level spells; Liu Tianning probably knows over a hundred?" Zhao Xing couldn’t help but marvel. "He has even joined the Military Realm Supervision Department by now, and that threshold is very high."

The last time the investigation team came out, Dantai Ming and Fan Zhaoli were considered old, having lived for three to four hundred years, yet Liu Tianning was much younger than them.

....

After taking the Life Soul Pill, Zhao Xing felt revitalized, familiarized himself with his body condition, and re-entered the Dream Palace.

He remembered that there was the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion within the academy that he hadn’t checked yet.

He was kicked out previously because the ordeal at the Heart Inquiry Platform was too draining.

"Hum~"

Upon re-entry, Zhao Xing flew through the clouds and arrived directly at a tower.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a tower-style building; Zhao Xing looked up, and the tower soared into the clouds, the top utterly out of sight.

Only the first five floors of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion could be seen.

"This is a new building; the Yun Meng Academy during the Emperor Wu Period didn’t have a Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Why would Emperor Wu remove the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion? Zhao Xing could guess the reason.

Because in the Great Zhou’s Military Realm, there is a mysterious institution called ’Heavenly Mechanism Hall.’

Inside, they keep ’Fate Officers.’
