Chapter 1277: 565: Astonishing breakthrough in cultivation! Unprecedented!

"How to devour it?" Lanling asked.

If it could be easily devoured, this Eye of the Ghost King wouldn’t have been left until now.

Because many people already know its mysterious power and have sensed the mysterious energy inside.

"The Eye of the Ghost King has lost its soul and will; the eyes contain only the Ghost King’s residual energy and the last glimpse of the world it saw." Mirror Demon King said, "So, when it falls into anyone’s hands, once they begin to play with it, the evil aura contained inside will actively influence a person’s mind and spirit, giving them a mysterious, vast, and elusive feeling. This sensation is so captivating that it becomes extremely addictive, making one lose interest in everything around them."

Mirror Demon King described it in very vague terms.

"Master, why not try it out yourself? Your spiritual power is extraordinarily strong; I believe this sensation should be even more intense." Mirror Demon King said.

"How to try?" Lanling asked. After getting the Eye of the Ghost King, he hadn’t played with it yet.

Mirror Demon King said, "It’s simple, just stare at it."

Lanling picked up the Eye of the Ghost King and gazed into it.

It looked like a gemstone, glowing brilliantly, as if it contained an entire world.

Lanling concentrated his spiritual power, attempting to see the mysterious world inside more clearly.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, he felt as if he had completely entered the world within the Eye of the Ghost King.

He saw the entire starry sky and universe nebula. It was as if his spirit had departed his body, and his soul entered the world of the Eye of the Ghost King, immersed in the vast cosmos.

Then, he continuously traveled through the cosmos, gazing at one star after another.

Each star here was distinct, some could be approached, some could not.

Some nebulae, seen from afar, appeared merely as a halo, but upon flying closer and deeper, he saw countless planets, meteors, and more densely packed.

In short, this was a splendid and mystical world, enchanting and profound.

It made one immerse themselves completely in exploring the entire celestial universe.

This sense of freedom, this allure and mystery, was truly captivating, making one addicted.

This feeling could even make one lose interest in everything in reality.

The starry sky is the yearning of all intelligent beings, the most mysterious realm.

No matter on Earth or in this world, any human begins to gaze at the stars and fantasize as soon as they are able to comprehend.

On modern Earth, humanity’s greatest goal is to venture into space.

No wonder the Eye of the Ghost King became a radiant star tear, no wonder everyone who acquired this gemstone became obsessed, indulging to the point of losing ambition, because it’s so mystical and charming.

Lanling directly closed his eyes.

Instantly, everything around disappeared, the enchanting nebula, the brilliant starry sky.

Lanling said, "Why is it like this? Why is the starry sky inside so real?"

Mirror Demon King said, "Because it is the real starry sky, the true universe?"

Lanling couldn’t help but be astonished.

Mirror Demon King said, "The Ghost King is different from all other strong individuals, for he lacks a physical body; he is merely a soul. He is almost weightless. The Dragon Emperor you speak of is immensely powerful, yet he cannot traverse the starry sky and universe in his physical form. But the Ghost King can. His mind and soul can drift infinitely far. Once, the Ghost King had a chance to unify the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, but ultimately he only ruled a third, and his Ghost King Empire ceased expanding. Because he lost interest, he found a higher pursuit. So, for many years, his Ghost King Empire continued to operate, but his soul had long voyaged beyond the infinite cosmos. After he died, he left no memories behind, his empire instantly fragmented, and the only lasting memory was the brilliant starry sky."

Lanling was shocked.

The Ghost King was unexpectedly... noble in his sentiments!

"Mirror Demon King, this should be the Ghost King’s absolute secret, unknown to anyone. How do you know?" Lanling asked.

Mirror Demon King sighed and said, "Because... he was my friend. Long ago, he first released his soul to explore the entire Southern Barbarian Continent and inadvertently discovered me. We are both lonely spiritual beings, so we conversed a lot."

Lanling could imagine that Mirror Demon King and Ghost King had much in common.

Mirror Demon King, to satisfy the world, captured many spiritual slaves and reigned in his Spiritual Illusion.

While the Ghost King was even more formidable, reigning in the real world, sweeping across the Southern Barbaric Lands, establishing the Ghost King Empire.

However, Mirror Demon King’s reign was false, never truly satisfying, hence he remained enthusiastic without exhaustion.

Whereas, the Ghost King’s reign was real; he wasn’t a human, merely a transient spiritual soul. He couldn’t enjoy beauties or delicacies. After achieving dominance, there was nothing but endless emptiness.

Thus, he aspired to greater pursuits, eternal quests, exploring the starry sky.

Hence, his soul wandered far, exploring the infinite starry sky.

"How to devour it?" Lanling asked bluntly.

Mirror Demon King was slightly astonished, his master was indeed practical. This Eye of the Ghost King, carrying countless memories of the stars, should be a stunning artistic artifact, and devouring it meant destruction.
