Chapter 272: See Through All Things!
“The ability of my left eye, the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, allows me to see through all things. It also grants powers such as soul sealing, slave sealing, illusion control, and many other abilities that target the mind.” Li Yun muttered softly as he absorbed the flood of new information that had entered his mind after surviving the tribulation.
The knowledge he received also made one thing clear. Each time he overcame another tribulation tied to the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, every ability within the eye would continue to evolve and grow stronger. Its power would rise again and again with each successful trial.
“See through anything?” Li Yun frowned as he repeated those words to himself. The description was far too broad, and for a moment he found it difficult to imagine how such an ability could be used in practice.
After thinking briefly, he reached for his sword and drew it out. With a thought, Sword Intent flowed from his body and wrapped itself around the blade.
Yet the instant the intent appeared, Li Yun’s expression changed. Through his left eye, he could clearly see the inner structure of the Sword Intent itself.
It no longer felt like some invisible force that could only be vaguely sensed through instinct. Instead, it revealed itself before his eye layer by layer, clear and undeniable.
He could see exactly how the intent adhered to the surface of the sword, spreading across the metal like a living current. He could see countless strands of sharp energy weaving through one another, overlapping, strengthening, and forming a far more intricate structure than he had ever imagined.
Even the faintest fluctuations, so subtle that ordinary senses would never notice them, stood exposed before him without the slightest concealment. Every tremor, every ripple, every minute shift in balance was displayed with perfect clarity.
What shocked Li Yun the most was that he could even spot tiny flaws in his own control. Areas where the flow was uneven, places where power had been wasted, and moments where his Sword Intent had not been guided with complete precision all became painfully obvious.
It felt as though he had once viewed a distant mountain from far away, able to admire only its outline, yet now he stood within it itself, able to inspect every stone, every crack, and every hidden detail buried deep inside.
Li Yun’s eyes widened as shock gave way to pure exhilaration.
“This is incredible.”
His heartbeat quickened, and excitement surged through his chest like a rising tide. Only now did he begin to grasp the true meaning behind the phrase perceiving through all things.
This was not simple eyesight. It was not merely sharper vision or the ability to notice what others missed. This was insight elevated to an unreasonable level, a perception that reached beneath appearances and touched the hidden truth of what lay before him.
With such an ability, he could dissect martial techniques in the midst of battle and discover their weaknesses in an instant. He could expose flaws within an enemy’s moves before they were fully unleashed.
He could inspect formations and trace the unstable points hidden within them. He could study treasures and understand their inner nature. He could perceive concealed injuries within a person’s body, observe the circulation of qi through meridians, and perhaps uncover mysteries that remained invisible to everyone else.
The more Li Yun thought about it, the more possibilities emerged. Each new thought gave birth to another, until the uses of this divine eye seemed endless.
Slowly, he sheathed his sword. Yet while his movements were calm, his mind was already racing forward, calculating how this newfound power could transform every battle and every opportunity that awaited him.
“Let me see how much EXP is needed to summon the second tribulation.”
With that thought, Li Yun opened his system panel.
—-
[Nine Tribulations Divine Eye (Left)]
– Status: First Tribulation
– EXP Required to Summon Second Tribulation: 50,000
—-
“What?!” Li Yun’s eyes widened in shock. “I need a full fifty thousand EXP just to summon the second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye?”
He had never possessed that much EXP at one time before. Yet now the system was demanding an amount so large that even thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
Li Yun suddenly felt that the EXP he currently held was pitifully small. Even if he used all of it, it would barely be enough to push his comprehension stat into the sixth tier. As for the fifty thousand EXP needed for the Divine Eye’s next tribulation, it felt like a distant mountain beyond reach.
“Come on, System. Give me some worthwhile missions once I reach Sword Saint City this time.” Li Yun muttered with a sly smile, looking every bit like an old fox plotting his next move.
With that, Li Yun departed from the barren land and returned to the cave where he had been cultivating. The familiar silence of the place welcomed him once more, and the steady stillness within the stone chamber immediately calmed his thoughts.
He still had one full month before the Tea Ceremony would begin.
“I still have a month left.” Li Yun muttered as he stood in thought, his eyes flickering with contemplation. “If my left eye was able to reveal flaws within my Sword Intent just now, then it means the same must be true for all of my martial arts and every martial intent I possess. None of them can be perfect.”
The moment that thought surfaced, his mind became clear. He had already found the best use for the remaining time.
“I will use this month to refine everything I have.”
His voice was calm, yet it carried firm resolve. Every technique he practiced, every intent he had comprehended, and every method he relied upon would be reexamined under the gaze of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye.
Any weakness would be corrected. Any inefficiency would be removed. Any hidden flaw would be polished away until his foundations became far more solid than before.
Li Yun understood that true strength was not only gained through raising one’s realm. It was also built through refinement, precision, and mastery over what one already possessed.
With that decision made, Li Yun entered seclusion one final time before setting out for Tea Ceremony.
