"Can you tell me now? Where did you see the Patriarch?" The old monk asked slowly, his murky eyes staring at Chu Li.
Chu Li felt as though he was being seen through. He then dismissed the thought and said calmly, "So what I saw was a scene from the past!"
"You saw the past." The old monk frowned and said slowly, "In that case, you've realized the divine power."
Chu Li smiled and looked down at the brush in his hand.
After a while, he sighed. "I didn't expect this brush to be so old. I'm sorry."
He quickly drew a picture on the paper and passed it to the old monk. "This is what I saw."
The picture on the paper was of a young monk holding a brush and copying scriptures. His expression was solemn and calm as if the whole world had stopped. There was only the monk, the brush, the paper, and the words on the paper.
The old monk took a look and his wrinkled face suddenly bloomed into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Heaven's Eye?" He moved his gaze away from the paper and looked at Chu Li's face.
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't know either."
The old monk stretched out his withered left arm and took a string of prayer beads from his wrist with his right hand. He passed it to Chu Li. "Focus on this bead."
Chu Li took it with both hands. It was as warm as jade but unusually heavy. It was heavier than iron and stone. He really did not know what it was made of.
Thus, he focused on the prayer beads and watched as one of them suddenly shone with a golden light. After that, the golden light faded and only one bead lit up. The rest did not light up.
He furrowed his brows in disbelief. Surprisingly, he could only light up one bead. Hence, he continued to activate it, using all of his mental energy. Immediately, two more golden lights flashed, and two more beads flickered with golden light, faintly discernible.
He let out a sigh of relief but knew that he had reached his limit. He could not activate the remaining beads no matter what. It was a pity.
The old monk looked at the prayer beads and nodded. "God's Limbs, Heaven's Ear, and Heaven's Eye. You're the only one who has these three divine powers. It's rare! "
Chu Li looked at him in shock.
The old monk said, "This was obtained from Spirit Mountain. I'll give it to you."
Chu Li hesitated. "This …"
Even if he didn't have good eyesight, he could still tell that this thing was extraordinary. Although he didn't know what it could be used for, the fact that he could identify its supernatural power proved that it was extraordinary. His credit had already been offset by the trip to Spirited Mountain.
The old monk said slowly, "You possess three divine powers and are destined to be the owner of this item. Since I'm giving it to you, don't reject it!"
"Senior, what is this?" Chu Li quickly asked.
The old monk shook his head, "I don't know either. This item can protect the soul and I don't need it anymore. You are still young and have the opportunity to leave the temple and travel the world. With this item, you will be able to avoid many disasters."
"… Thank you, Senior!" Chu Li did not decline anymore.
The old monk said, "The Heavenly Eye Connection is different from the Heavenly Limb Connection and the Heavenly Ear Connection. It involves fate and karma, so you can't use it lightly, lest you get karma on you. Mortals are afraid of karma, Bodhisattva is afraid of karma. Remember this."
"Yes, thank you, Senior!" Chu Li put his palms together solemnly.
He wore the incomparably heavy prayer beads on his left wrist. Suddenly, a cool force entered the void of his mind. There seemed to be a strange force in the void, causing the Buddhas and Heavenly Demons to become active. It was as if there was a sudden increase in vitality and reality.
If this continued, could these Buddhas and Heavenly Demons be resurrected?
"Go." The old monk waved his hand.
Chu Li bowed and left the dilapidated temple. He took a step back to his own temple and saw Master Hui Guang waiting in the small courtyard.
"Master." Chu Li put his palms together.
Hui Guang was still wearing a gray robe, which made his figure look especially thin and weak. He looked at Chu Li and smiled, "Good, you've cultivated to the eighth level of Dragon Elephant Wisdom. Not bad!"
Chu Li showed a guilty expression.
If he had focused on cultivation, he might have cultivated to the ninth level. In the end, he was too curious and wanted to fully understand the world of Spirit Mountain. That was why he wasted a lot of time exploring and could not focus on cultivation.
However, it was also because of this that he was able to understand the Heaven's Eye. It was hard to say whether it was a gain or a loss.
Hui Guang patted his shoulder and smiled, "You used a year to cultivate to the eighth level. What's there to be dissatisfied about?"
Chu Li sighed, "It could have been higher."
"Don't be too greedy. It's not a good thing to be too fast." Hui Guang smiled, "After all, Dragon Elephant Wisdom requires comprehension and hard work. You can't be lazy. It seems that your dharmic base needs to be improved."
"Yes." Chu Li was serious.
Hui Guang then smiled, "Did you gain anything else from entering Spirit Mountain?"
Chu Li did not hide the fact that he had the Heaven's Eye.
Hui Guang heard and was overjoyed. He sighed, "Good! Good! Your dharmic base is really profound. You can actually understand this divine power. Among the many divine powers, the Heaven's Eye is the most difficult to understand because it involves cause and effect! "
Chu Li said, "I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
"… That's true." The joy on Hui Guang's face disappeared and turned into seriousness.
He naturally knew the drawbacks of the Heaven's Eye. Cause and effect was something that even the Buddhas feared. Once the cause and effect were destroyed, there would be endless karma. Dharmic base would not be able to help, so he had to be very careful.
Chu Li said, "Master, it's been a year?"
"Exactly a year." Hui Guang said, "How long do you think you stayed in Spirit Mountain?"
Chu Li thought about it and said, "After meditating, it's only a blink of an eye. After I woke up, I cultivated Dragon Elephant Wisdom and had to return soon."
"That's natural." Hui Guang smiled, "Spirit Mountain is a wonderful place. It's already a great opportunity for you to obtain the Heaven's Eye. In addition to the eighth level of Dragon Elephant Wisdom, you've gained a lot."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Now that he thought about it, the gain of the Heaven's Eye was not a coincidence.
Previously, he had cultivated many such divination skills. This time, with the help of the dharmic base and the giant Buddha statue's golden light, it was only a matter of time before he obtained the Heaven's Eye.
If he did not cultivate and accumulate all kinds of knowledge, he would not have been able to understand the Heaven's Eye this time.
"Have a good rest." Hui Guang was about to leave.
Chu Li hurriedly said, "Master, about Tai Dong's Sea Garrison Town …?"
"It's a little troublesome." Hui Guang frowned. "Star Cloud Island and other islands are entangled. The Determination Stone and the others have arrived at Sea Garrison Town."
Chu Li said, "Then I'll go and take a look."
He was no longer the same as before. He had cultivated Dragon Elephant Wisdom to the eighth level and had no worries about self-preservation. When Ding Jian cultivated to the eighth level, he became the first person in the Ding generation and was able to suppress top-notch masters like Bai Zhuguang. Chu Li felt that he would not be too bad himself.
"… Alright." Hui Guang nodded. "Ding Jian has cultivated to the ninth level. After a year of training, he has improved rapidly. The Dragon Elephant Wisdom needs enough training to be accomplished."
"Yes." Chu Li was serious.
Hui Guang said, "Let's depart tomorrow."
"Master, I want to go and take a look now." Chu Li said.
"You …" Hui Guang shook his head and waved his hand. "Do as you wish."
With the Heaven's Eye, he naturally had the ability to seek fortune and avoid danger. He did not have to worry about losing his life. Therefore, he allowed Chu Li to do as he pleased. He also understood that Chu Li's cultivation level had just skyrocketed and he wanted to show off.
Chu Li bowed with pressed palms. The next moment, he appeared outside Sea Garrison Town and saw Ding Jian and Ding Shi who were fighting.
