Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 484: Twilight Eye

In the vast sea, a towering ship, hundreds of feet high, plowed through the waves at incredible speed, sailing across the endless ocean.

The ship had around a hundred floors, each floor dotted with numerous quiet rooms. These rooms were equipped with small gathering spirit formations, providing cultivators a place for secluded cultivation.

The quiet rooms were divided into three levels. Heaven, Earth, and Human. The Heaven-level rooms gathered extremely dense spiritual energy, but their prices were sky-high.

This ship belonged to a major sect and was crossing the Mountain and Sea Region. The journey was estimated to take at least five years.

Fortunately, Fang Chen's cultivation of the Primordial Evil Eye and the Radiant Divine Eyes didn't require spiritual energy. The cultivation of his eye techniques mainly depended on his innate talent and comprehension. The density of spiritual energy had no direct correlation with the speed of his cultivation.

So, he chose a Human-level room, where he only needed to spend one low-grade spirit stone per day.

Considering the cost of the ship and various miscellaneous expenses, this journey only required him to pay three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Fang Chen found it quite cost-effective. Although three thousand low-grade spirit stones could buy a yellow rank high-grade treasure, it also saved him several years of time. During these five years, he wouldn't have to travel on his own, allowing him to focus on cultivation. For cultivators, saved time equated to an extended lifespan.

The ship's destination was the third-tier empire, Taichu. There, they would find a teleportation array that would take them to the next destination.

That was the route Xia Ji took.

If they weren't met with any unexpected events, Fang Chen would find himself at the legendary first-tier Central Continent Empire a little over ten years later.

The identity of the sect that owned the ship promised its passengers a smooth sailing journey without many obstacles.

No matter which region of the sea they passed through, no reckless troublemakers were daring enough to obstruct their way.

It had been over three months since they set off.

In just three short months, Fang Chen's Radiant Divine Eyes had made significant progress. The Radiant Divine Eyes was divided into four realms. Now, he had firmly entered the first realm, the same realm as where Yun Tiancheng reached.

In this realm, his control over the Five Elements' power had increased by more than a hundredfold. If Yun Tiancheng could easily condense four hundred-foot-tall golden-armored warriors, Fang Chen could easily condense six without much trouble given his foundation.

Once Fang Chen's cultivation reached the late-stage Foundation Building Realm, similar to Yun Tiancheng, he might easily condense more than ten golden-armored warriors.

Even Golden Core Realm cultivators would be crushed facing such absolute strength.

Fang Chen frowned. "Little Mirror, why is the cultivation method for the Radiant Divine Eyes so strange? Do I still need spirit materials for the second realm cultivation? What is Twilight Eye?"

"Brother, that will cost you one thousand low-grade spirit stones," Little Zhou replied.

Fang Chen began to haggle with Little Mirror until he reduced the price to five hundred low-grade spirit stones. After giving Little Zhou five hundred low-grade spirit stones, it revealed detailed information about Twilight Eye.

"In ancient times, there was a demonic clan named "Twilight," where sunlight would completely disappear, turning into eternal night. Countless creatures couldn't survive without sunlight, and eventually, Twilight was slaughtered by various cultivators. The more they killed, the fewer the Twilight clan became until they were completely extinct, and no cultivator has discovered their traces since then."

"An ancient demonic clan? Where should I go to find the Twilight Eye?"

Fang Chen looked puzzled and asked, "When Twilight was besieged by various cultivators, why didn't the demonic clan's patriarch intervene?"

"The demonic clan led the charge against Twilight. Losing sunlight would cause a disruption in the spiritual balance of heaven and earth. It would not only harm mortals but also cultivators. To prevent a major conflict between the demonic clan and human cultivators, a demonic clan patriarch proposed the extinction of Twilight to eliminate future troubles," Little Zhou explained.

Fang Chen pondered for a moment. "Are there any surviving members of the Twilight Clan now? Or is there a way to obtain the Twilight Eye?"

"That... would likely require millions of low-grade spirit stones to find out," Little Zhou said awkwardly.

Mirror of the Universe knew that Fang Chen couldn't come up with such a sum of spirit stones in a short time. However, that was the rule; as a spirit artifact, it couldn't circumvent it.

Fang Chen sighed softly. "What a pity. It seems that the first realm of the Radiant Divine Eyes is the limit. It's almost impossible to advance to the second realm in this era,"

Fortunately, the Radiant Divine Eyes had already demonstrated its effectiveness. Even though it was only the first realm, it greatly boosted Fang Chen's strength. He no longer needed to rely on Little Sword for everything, including the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture.

The Radiant Divine Eyes did not only help with manipulating the five elements; any technique that required the power of the five elements would be greatly enhanced in Fang Chen's hands from now on.

The Radiant Divine Eyes is divided into realms and functions more like pure technique. On the other hand, the Primordial Evil Eye has no realm divisions and mainly enhances the soul, functioning more like a cultivation method, Fang Chen thought to himself.

Apart from enhancing the soul, the Primordial Evil Eye had some less noticeable benefits.

For example, when casting techniques, just opening the Primordial Evil Eye made the process extremely smooth. Also, after opening the Primordial Evil Eye, he didn't need to project his divine soul out of his body to see many things that ordinary cultivators can't see, such as flaws in formations or the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Those things manifested as lines that are vividly displayed before Feng Chen's eyes. Although these effects may not seem as directly effective as the Radiant Divine Eyes, the Radiant Divine Eyes couldn’t be compared to the Primordial Evil Eye.

Feng Chen was curious. "I wonder who that female cultivator really is to be able to casually impart me with a technique like that. Could she really be someone related to Ancestor Fang Tingyuan?"

Suddenly, the Mirror of the Universe reminded him, "Little brother, you're running low on low-grade spirit stones. Shouldn't you think of ways to earn some?"

Even Little Sword chimed in, "Little Chen, the old thing is right this time,"

Feng Chen glanced at his storage ring. Originally, he had twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, but he gave some to Fang Jue and also paid for the ship. Now, he had around thirteen thousand left. Indeed, he wasn’t left with much.

Judging by Little Sword's appetite, he would need at least another two to three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones to appease its hunger. Not to mention Mirror of the Universe; if he had enough spirit stones, it would be akin to a bug-level existence. It was extremely useful for both finding people and objects. Feng Chen faintly believed that it truly came from the Immortal Realm and was an immortal artifact.

"There aren't many ways to make money these days.... I can only make talismans if I wish to earn spirit stones."

The True Fire Talisman, Illusion Spirit Talisman, and Binding Talisman... Even though they were only mid-grade, yellow-rank talismans and couldn’t be priced too high, he could get a good enough price if he made a bunch of them.

Each one could fetch two or three hundred low-grade spirit stones, and they would only cost a tenth of that to make. The only problem was that he would need to use quite a bit of time to make them.

During the next few months, Fang Chen closed himself off and used whatever materials he had left to craft talismans. However, he didn't make Illusionary Spirit Talismans or Binding Talismans. He made True Fire Talismans instead.

True Fire Talismans required the use of fire elemental energy, so Fang Chen doubled his crating speed with the support of the Radiant Divine Eye.

"A True Fire Talisman is priced at two hundred low-grade spirit stones each. I have over a hundred and sixty of them here. Selling them all can bring in around thirty thousand spirit stones. Fang Chen calculated his earnings, feeling very satisfied.

He got up and left the room, preparing to go to the trading area on the ship to sell True Fire Talismans.
