Chapter 1386

Divine Eye Secret Art

The seventh floor of Wuqilou was a world of ice, with nearly transparent ice mountains not far from Luo Feng. “The seventh floor!” Luo Feng’s heart was filled with anticipation. “Wuqilou has nine floors in total, with the first eight floors being the obstacles. As long as I pass the eighth floor and enter the ninth, I will have reached the summit of Wuqilou, and succeeded!” The more he thought about it, the more Luo Feng felt that the ninth floor of Wuqilou absolutely held a great secret! “Only two more challenges remain.” “The challenge of the seventh floor, and the final challenge of the eighth floor.” Luo Feng carefully scanned his surroundings, cautiously observing everything. Even with his immense strength, he dared not let his guard down in the slightest. The closer he got to victory, the more careful he needed to be. Whoosh~~~~ Space ripples spread across the cold, high sky, and then a giant single eye began to emerge. “Divine Eye?” Luo Feng was startled. Previously, on the third floor of Wuqilou, the final life-and-death danger he faced was this Divine Eye. Under its gaze, he was subjected to a powerful willpower impact. “Why is this seventh floor also a Divine Eye? Is it also a willpower impact?” Luo Feng secretly wondered. “But the third floor was already a willpower impact; it wouldn’t be the same, would it?” Buzz~~~ The Divine Eye emitted a hazy golden light, enveloping the area below, and also covering Luo Feng. “Warrior Yinhe.” An ancient voice directly resonated in Luo Feng’s mind. “Pass the Divine Eye’s trial, and you may enter the eighth floor of Wuqilou… That eighth floor will be your final obstacle before reaching the summit of Wuqilou.” As the ancient voice faded. Boom!!! The hazy golden light in the sky immediately erupted with a powerful willpower impact, causing Luo Feng’s expression to change slightly. It truly was a willpower impact, and its initial intensity reached the level of the willpower impact at the end of the ‘third floor of Wuqilou’. “Willpower?” Luo Feng looked up at the Divine Eye, but remained motionless, directly enduring it. Willpower impact is formless and intangible; there’s no dodging it, only enduring it head-on. Willpower against willpower! “Why is this seventh floor still a willpower impact?” This question flashed through Luo Feng’s mind, but he quickly cast it aside, focusing all his energy on resisting the willpower impact. ... In front of the light screen, four commanders watched this scene. “Warrior Yinhe’s willpower should be extremely strong; passing this seventh floor shouldn’t be difficult for him,” the burly commander’s voice boomed. “I just wonder how much of the ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’ he’ll be able to learn.” “The Divine Eye Secret Art is a secret art created by His Majesty the God King,” the black-mist commander said. “It’s a special attack method. In our Jinzhi World, it’s only bestowed upon those who receive an enfeoffment, make special contributions, or possess immense potential. And even then, only a portion of the Divine Eye Secret Art is granted.” “Indeed, six warriors have reached the seventh floor of this Wuqilou. Five of them failed, and one succeeded in entering the eighth floor. Among those six… the worst didn’t even fully learn the first volume of the ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’, and the best only learned three volumes.” “I wonder how many volumes Warrior Yinhe can learn!” ... Luo Feng, at this moment, was unaware of this, instead fully resisting the willpower impact. Luo Feng occasionally looked at the Divine Eye in the sky, and occasionally at the continuous, nearly transparent ice mountains around him. “Just resisting the willpower impact like this?” Luo Feng thought to himself. “I wonder what the ultimate limit of this Divine Eye is.” Although his willpower was strong, it still had its limits. If the Divine Eye’s attack exceeded his endurance, he might fall unconscious and be teleported out. “Even so, this is also an opportunity to temper my willpower.” “Wuqilou has nine floors, with eight challenges. I refuse to believe the seventh floor can stop me.” Luo Feng continued to resist. The hazy golden light enveloped the area below, making Luo Feng seem as if he were draped in golden sand. The willpower impact grew stronger and stronger, quickly reaching the ‘True God limit’ level. However, this level posed no threat to Luo Feng. “Hmm?” Luo Feng’s peripheral vision suddenly noticed an ice mountain in the distance. “What’s that!” Luo Feng immediately turned his head to look. Inside the belly of the nearly transparent ice mountain in the distance, ancient characters began to appear. They were all characters from ancient civilization, densely packed, almost filling the entire belly of that ice mountain. The meaning of the topmost line of text was: Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One! And then came the detailed content. “Divine Eye Secret Art?” Luo Feng was overjoyed after seeing the top line. “Haha, as expected, rewards started from the fourth floor. Although they were still challenges, there were also rewards. This seventh floor actually directly rewards a secret art!” Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. Secret arts are different from secret techniques. Secret techniques at the Universe Venerable level become meaningless to a Universe Master. The stronger one becomes, the more one needs to create secret techniques suitable for oneself. Low-level secret techniques become irrelevant. But secret arts are different. Like ‘Annihilation,’ ‘Donghua,’ and ‘Undying River,’ these are secret arts. Secret arts are useful for the weak, and equally useful for super powerhouses. A powerful secret art… can completely skyrocket one’s strength. For example, ‘Undying River’ is equivalent to gaining a chance to turn the tables, and in ancient civilization, it was an invaluable and extremely precious secret art. Luo Feng had obtained a complete set of ‘Annihilation,’ but due to the influence of the original source will, he could only see the first three volumes. However, once he reached the Void True God level, he would naturally be able to see the later content of ‘Annihilation.’ At the Universe Master and True God stages, ‘Annihilation’ already far surpassed many divine power burning secret techniques, and it would naturally be even more advanced later on. Leading one step ahead means leading every step. And the further along it goes, the more precious it becomes. For instance, in Jinzhi World, only the first few stages of divine power burning secret techniques were widely circulated. ... “To actually obtain a secret art!” Luo Feng was overjoyed. “I wonder what kind of secret art it is, and if my Duan Dong River lineage has it!” The Duan Dong River lineage, after all, was a single lineage, with only one inheritor per generation. His Majesty the God King, however, established a super force… What His Majesty the God King possessed, the Duan Dong River lineage might not necessarily have. “Hmm?” Luo Feng immediately looked closely, as for the willpower impact? At this moment, the willpower impact was only at the True God limit and couldn’t affect Luo Feng at all. “The Divine Eye Secret Art is a secret art that utilizes willpower!” Luo Feng was delighted after a brief look. A great harvest! A great opportunity! Having inherited the Duan Dong River lineage, Luo Feng understood ancient civilization and naturally grasped the importance of this ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’. The Divine Eye Secret Art is a secret art that utilizes willpower! Perhaps the ‘Third Generation Ancestor’ of the Duan Dong River lineage could also create three or four volumes, but if the Third Generation Ancestor wasn’t skilled in this area, the secret arts created wouldn’t reach a high level. For a major force or a lineage, having only the first three or four volumes would be meaningless. Only complete series of secret arts, reaching their peak and capable of standing proud in ancient civilization, are truly something to be proud of. Like ‘Annihilation,’ ‘Donghua,’ and ‘Undying River,’ they are all complete series. “Willpower…” “All strong individuals possess willpower, and willpower can be strong or weak!” “When the weak die, everything dissipates.” “But even if a strong individual dies, their willpower remains. Even a drop of blood or a single scale from their body will contain powerful willpower pressure and impact.” “When strong individuals are alive… in battles against each other, willpower clashes. The side with stronger willpower can destabilize the opponent’s mind, gaining an advantage before even making a move. If there’s a vast difference in willpower… a natural willpower impact can cause the opponent to fall unconscious, rendering them utterly defenseless.’ Luo Feng nodded as he read the opening content of ‘Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One’. In fact, for powerhouses. Taking flesh-and-blood lifeforms as an example, there’s a distinction between soul, consciousness, and willpower! Once the soul is extinguished, one is truly dead beyond revival. Consciousness, on the other hand, is based on the soul. Generally, the stronger the soul, the stronger the consciousness. The weaker the soul, the weaker the consciousness! When two powerhouses clash… for example, a True God and a Universe Venerable, the difference in their consciousness is too vast. A mere consciousness suppression can shatter the opponent’s soul, leading to immediate demise! But willpower is different. Willpower is very transcendent. Even if the soul and consciousness are weak, as long as one’s character is strong and their inner self is powerful, they can still possess extremely strong willpower! Super strong willpower! When one is weak, willpower isn’t very useful, generally only used to resist ‘illusions,’ to maintain one’s true self, and so on. Once dead, willpower naturally dissipates, with little offensive use. However— At the True God, Void True God, and even higher levels, willpower becomes increasingly important. Even super powerhouses who fall, their willpower can remain! Just like the ‘divine blood’ Luo Feng obtained! But even in ancient civilization… some super powerhouses generally only engaged in natural willpower clashes, suppressing opponents. They didn’t know how to better utilize willpower. Willpower is too ethereal, a very abstract existence. How to utilize it? Only some super beings could comprehend and create methods. Unlike divine power burning secret techniques, even some powerful Void True Gods could comprehend the most basic first stage of divine power burning secret techniques. But willpower secret arts, even Eternal True Gods couldn’t comprehend them. Only after mastering the Chaos Law could one gradually gain insights. And the ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’ was a powerful secret art created by His Majesty the God King. ... ‘Willpower must reach the Void True God level before one can begin cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Art?’ ‘Hmm?’ ‘Why does it feel very similar to mind cultivation?’ Luo Feng read and pondered the first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art. This first volume, in addition to parts of the cultivation secret art, also contained guidance on improving willpower. According to its content, to enhance willpower… one must focus on their inner self, constantly analyze their inner being, understand themselves, understand their inner world, and continuously elevate themselves. ... The Divine Eye in the sky, radiating hazy golden light, continuously strengthened its willpower impact. It had already surpassed the True God limit and continued to increase. The True God limit to Void True God is a huge leap. So Luo Feng could still easily resist it. The belly of that ice mountain continued to display segments of text, still content from the Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One. Clearly, this first volume was very long. Finally, everything ceased, and the entire Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One, was fully revealed. ‘Just the first volume took so long to fully appear. If my willpower hadn’t broken through the True God limit, I probably wouldn’t even be able to see the entire first volume,’ Luo Feng sighed with emotion. Just moments after the first volume was fully displayed— ‘Eh…’ Luo Feng suddenly saw text appearing in the belly of another ice mountain in the distance, ‘Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume Two!’ Luo Feng was immediately overjoyed and quickly read and memorized it. A complete secret art naturally consists of many volumes.
