"What's this?!" Lu Sheng took a step back and maintained a safe distance from it.
It was just a ball of water that he had compressed with great force. How did such a strange eyeball suddenly appear?
He was bewildered. He began to examine the eyeball in the ball of water. The eyeball seemed different from what he had imagined. It was clearly floating in the ball of water, but the place the eyeball was looking at did not seem to be him. Instead, it seemed to be somewhere far away.
It was like the eye of a person looking into the distance.
Lu Sheng calmed down. He could see a strange confusion in the eyeball. It was a cold, chaotic, and pure brutality. The brutality continued to spread out from the eyeball.
It was not like the other eyeballs that looked hideous and bloody. The expression in the eyeball was calm and serene. It was as if the brutality, chaotic madness, and madness were hidden under the surface of stagnant water.
It was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
"Something's not right!" Suddenly, Lu Sheng snapped back to his senses. He sensed that something was amiss.
He stretched out his hand and slowly reached into the ball of water. He tried to touch the eyeball. However, strangely, when his hand reached into the ball of water, he immediately sensed an unimaginable coldness surging into his hand.
This coldness was so strong that even his Nascent Soul, which already possessed the Yin attribute, could not block it.
As the coldness surged into his hand, there was also a stream of information that had existed for a very long time. It was a stream of information that had been stored with a unique power.
Countless images and sounds surged into Lu Sheng's mind from this stream of information. This stream of information contained some sort of twisted madness. It was trying to tempt him and control his mind.
"Hmph!" Lu Sheng snorted coldly. His main body, which was deep in his heart, suddenly trembled. Yang Essence surged out and enveloped all the twisted wills in his body. Then, it swiftly invaded his body.
"Bam!"
He suddenly staggered a few steps back. Blood seeped out of his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. His main body's spirit had suffered a heavy blow.
The ball of water exploded and vanished into thin air. It was as if it was just a simple ball of water the size of a fist. Only a little bit of water fell and splashed on the ground. It wet the thick black carpet.
"… It's gone …" Lu Sheng wiped the blood from his nostrils, a look of excitement on his face.
In the impact of the information flow just now, he saw many distorted and strange colored lines and the sound of many people screaming and crying. That information flow seemed to be a pure amalgamation of some kind of chaotic memories.
He did not learn any key content from it, but in the memory of the information stream, everyone had shouted a common name.
"Gesangna … Eye of Gesangna …" Lu Sheng recalled the twisted and violent blue eye in the water ball.
"Looks like I've unintentionally created something incredible …" Lu Sheng used his Inner Vision to check the damage on his body.
Even at his current level, the Eye of Gesangna could still inexplicably injure his physical body. It was clear that the Eye of Gesangna was extremely powerful.
However, Lu Sheng vaguely felt that the eyes did not seem to have any special intelligence.
It was more like a representation of a pure will. It also looked like a special symbol of destruction.
'Looks like this is the effect of condensing my Divine Vein to the extreme. The Eye of Gesangna … This world … sure is interesting.'
Forty percent of his physical body was injured. The main reason was that some key fascias were stretched in the opposite direction due to the intense spasms of his muscles and nerves.
Lu Sheng quickly treated his injuries. However, he was more interested in the powerful destructive force produced when the Divine Vein was condensed to the extreme.
The might of the Eye of Gesangna could cause such great damage with just a light touch, and this was the result of him being the creator. If someone was caught off guard and was suddenly hit by this thing … Perhaps even a great cultivator would be instantly killed.
'This move is an attack that directly targets the spirit. It also mobilizes the power of some mysterious and powerful existence. It's slightly similar to the Eight-Headed Griffon's feathers.' Lu Sheng repeated the process of forming the water ball in his mind to familiarize himself with it. If even his Divine Lord spirit could be injured by this water ball, it was even more so for the other Nascent Soul cultivators of this world.
After taking care of everything, and his injuries healed, Lu Sheng attempted to derive the next tier. This was the legendary Nascent Divinity tier.
However, since he did not derive any cultivation method, there was no derivation button in Deep Blue.
At this stage, Lu Sheng could no longer go any further. He had Liu 'er and the merfolk prepare some food, and then went straight to the Vital Energy Sect's Swaying Gold Mountain.
As the master of the four seas overseas, Lu Sheng did not intentionally hide his tracks. His action of going straight to the Swaying Gold Mountain was immediately noticed by the Vital Energy Sect.
… …
Swaying Gold Mountain, Name Hall.
The Vital Energy Sect's seven Peak Masters were all here. Yun Ye's teacher, who had returned from beyond the great wall, was among them.
There was also Du Guangchi's teacher, the drunken old man. This old man had come to borrow his junior brother's Artifact. However, he did not expect the situation overseas to change so quickly. He had gone overseas to save his disciple, but Yun Ye suddenly changed his course and went to kill the Divine Sword Sect and the Four Holy Monks. He could not face the powerful Four Seas Sect alone. He dared not show himself.
At this moment, the old man looked haggard. It was clear that he had been worrying about his disciple.
The sect master sat on the platinum-colored throne with three dragons playing with a pearl. His long white hair hung loosely over his shoulders, and the crescent moon on his forehead emitted a faint, gentle white radiance.
"We've sent our men to deal with the matters at the borders. With the help of many sects, we'll definitely be safe this time. However, we don't know why that Four Seas Sect's master, Mu Yun, has suddenly returned to his homeland. "
One of the Peak Masters spoke with a serious expression.
"Four Seas Sect's master, Mu Yun, was hunted down by Die Shazi and fled overseas. In just a few decades, he's broken through to the Nascent Soul tier, established his own force, and became the most powerful sect master. This time, it's not like we didn't come because of that sword strike back then. "Another short old Peak Lord said in a deep voice.
"Even if he's here to seek revenge, how should we deal with him?" The person who spoke was one of the newly promoted Peak Masters, Shen Shuang, who was used to fill Yun Ye's empty position. As the youngest among all the Peak Masters, this person had a strong desire to improve, unlike the other Peak Masters who were lifeless.
"That's all there is to the Four Seas Sect. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not the first time our Vital Energy Sect has encountered something like this. If we really encounter them, we'll just crush them." A beautiful female Peak Master's expression was calm.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master's expression was calm. However, his gaze was fixed on the two quietest of the seven Peak Masters.
They were the Second Peak Master, Liu Sicheng, and the Seventh Peak Master, Sima Zhun.
Liu Sicheng always wore gray clothes and a bamboo hat. He looked more like a swordsman of the pugilistic world with a saber on his back.
Sima Zhun had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He carried a purplish-gold ringed saber on his back, and his body was well-built.
These two were the strongest among the Seven Peaks. Their strength was unfathomable. Many years ago, they had stopped fighting. Instead, they only let their juniors and disciples do the fighting.
In the Vital Energy Sect, the two of them were the oldest. Even the sect master might not be as old as them. The other Peak Masters had been replaced one after another. They were the only ones who had remained.
Liu Sicheng smiled.
"Come to think of it, ever since the group battle, the Vital Energy Sect hasn't been as grand as it was before. This Four Seas Sect's sect master is alone. It doesn't seem like he's here to wage war. It's more likely that he's here to probe us. "
Sima Zhun smiled as well.
"Come to think of it, I've looked into this Four Seas Sect's sect master's background. This person abhors evil, but his actions are both righteous and wicked. He values loyalty, and distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. However, his cultivation method is of the Evil Path. It's possible that he's here to probe us, the Vital Energy Sect, and decide if he wants to wage war against us. "
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master smiled. "This person rose to power very quickly. He's a bit of an anomaly. However, his methods are cruel, and he's decisive. However, he has his own bottom line and rules. He doesn't seem like someone from the Devil Path. Most importantly, he has Du Guangchi in his hands … "
When this name was spoken, all the Peak Masters fell silent.
Du Guangchi was related to the Vital Energy Sect's prosperity for the next thousand years. If something happened to him, it would be too late for regrets.
"Hence, our objective is to rescue Du Guangchi and retrieve one of the three Divine Swords, the Earth Lake Sword," said Sima Zhun.
"With the Four Seas Sect's sect master's personality, I'm afraid he won't compromise so easily. What should we do to rescue the Divine Sword and Apprentice-Nephew? "asked one of the Peak Masters in a low voice.
"Let's have the Third Peak do it," said the Vital Energy Sect's sect master. "It's said that the Four Seas Sect's sect master's Taoist art is superior. His Nascent Soul is primarily of water. The Third Peak controls Earth Fire, Pill Fire, and True Fire. They're both of the fire and earth attribute. They should be able to restrain him."
The Third Peak Master, Zhao Wuding, slowly stood up and bowed to the sect master. He was a middle-aged man with a wooden expression. He was tall and well-built. His shoulders were wide, and his arms reached his knees. His attire was no different from that of an old farmer working in the fields.
"As you command."
"Also, is there any news from the desert?" asked the sect master.
"Not yet …"
"The southern border has responded. Many Mountain Masters have formed an alliance. Junior Brother Li is interfering in the dark. I'm sure he'll be able to turn misfortune into fortune."
The others replied.
A hint of helplessness appeared on the Vital Energy Sect's sect master's face.
"That's good too. That old geezer's methods are shocking. I only hope that everything will develop in a positive direction. Speaking of which, the Vital Energy Sect's thousand-year celebration is almost upon us. "
"We're in troubled times now. The matter with Ancient Devil Yun Ye hasn't been dealt with properly. Let's not talk about the celebration for now," advised the ceremonial officer.
"This year's really not going well for us. The Heavenly Dao is reincarnated. Everything is intertwined with each other. Perhaps, this is the inevitable precondition before the thousand-year fortune arrives." The Vital Energy Sect's sect master heaved a long sigh.
"You're right, sect master." The Peak Masters bowed slightly and responded in unison.
…
Inside the emerald green mountain forest.
Lu Sheng and Liu 'er walked slowly in the dense forest. Their figures floated, and they flew forward at high speed as if they were defying gravity.
Lu Sheng had changed into a blue robe. He only carried one of the three Divine Swords, the Earth Lake Sword. This time, he was here to settle his karma. The extent to which he would go would depend on how much Mu Yun hated the Vital Energy Sect.
Although his expression was calm, the aura in his eyes caused Liu 'er, who was beside him, to tremble in fear.
She understood that this trip to the Vital Energy Sect might not be a peaceful one.
Along the way, Liu 'er was telling Lu Sheng about the main points of the Vital Energy Sect. Although Lu Sheng had heard much of this from Du Guangchi, there was no problem listening to it again.
"According to our investigations, the strongest combat force in the Vital Energy Sect is the sect master. The Vital Energy Sect's sect master. The second person is Sima Zhun and Liu Sicheng. One of them is the Seventh Peak Master, and the other is the Second Peak Master. Their strength is astonishing. It's said that they were already great cultivators in the Late-stage Nascent Soul stage several hundred years ago. "
