Chapter 515: The Second Stage of Radiant Divine Eyes

The bowl of medicine did indeed look a bit nauseating, but it was the key to unlocking the second stage of the Radiant Divine Eyes.

Fang Chen took a deep breath and drank it all in front of Fairy Yu. Fairy Yu couldn't bring herself to watch and turned her head away.

A few moments later, Fairy Yu carefully peered at Fang Chen.

After downing the medicine, Fang Chen suddenly felt that his left eye had become unbearably itchy, and waves of discomfort surged through him. He really wanted to reach up and scratch the itch off.

"You seem to be in a lot of discomfort," Fairy Yu said anxiously.

Seeing what was happening, the Qinghu Empire's ruler and the other two approached cautiously. When they got close, they saw that, although Fang Chen's left eye was tightly closed, there was a faint, odd blue light emitting from within it.

The Qinghu Empire's ruler noticed something and commented in surprise, "He seems to be practicing some kind of eye technique. Maybe he's using the medicine he drank just now to assist in his cultivation?"

The Qinghu Clan also had a heritage of eye techniques, but their lineage's inheritance had long been lost. According to ancient records, if a cultivator could successfully cultivate with an eye technique, it meant that they had boundless potential. They could even reach the Middle Three Realms.

The Qinghu Clan's lineage had declined because they had lost their clan-exclusive eye techniques. Otherwise, the clan wouldn't have been reduced to such a state, with only a few members remaining. This was a testament to how highly regarded eye techniques were in the cultivation world.

An hour quickly passed, and Fang Chen was drenched in sweat by now. During this hour, Fang Chen had envisioned himself digging his eye out countless times. The itch was intolerable. It wasn't merely limited to his eye; it spread through his entire body. It was as if thousands of ants were crawling on his skin and gnawing their way through his eye and into his body.

Seeing Fang Chen drenched in sweat and how pained he was, Fairy Yu could only continuously wipe his sweat off him with her sleeve.

The Qinghu Empire’s princess helped by fanning with her sleeve. She hoped that keeping Fang Chen cooler would alleviate his suffering a little.

"Little Mirror, how long will I have to endure this?" asked Fang Chen through clenched teeth, his voice trembling.

"Brother, hang in there. It isn't simple to cultivate eye techniques. You are cultivating the Radiant Divine Eyes, so this point is especially evident. Not to mention that it requires external intervention. As long as you endure and persist through this, the Twilight Eye will be completely under your control!"

"How long will it take?"

It seemed that he had obtained a new method to battle many enemies at once. Considering his current affinity and control over the Five Elements, the strength of the metal element energy in the sword array was in no way inferior to a top-grade, yellow-rank spiritual treasure that had seventy-two Soul Imprints. It even hinted at reaching the level of a peak-grade, yellow-rank peak treasure. In many future situations, he might not even need to use Little Sword.

Suddenly, Fang Chen's eyes lit up. "Huh, what are these spiritual energies...."

He discovered that there seemed to be several types of energies that existed in the world besides the Five Elements. Fang Chen even found one of them to be familiar, bearing a resemblance to the Purple Lightning Talisman.

Realizing what this was, Fang Chen was caught by surprise. "It's the lightning element!"

There were a few other types of energies besides the lightning element, but Fang Chen couldn't put his finger on what their attributes were. However, they should be other types of rare spiritual energies that existed in the world.

"I've heard that some techniques can manipulate lightning element energy without the need for talismans. Now that I can see it, I wonder if I can control it..." mused Fang Chen.

With this thought in mind, Fang Chen attempted to control the lightning element energy, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only stare at it blankly, unable to control it one bit.

Clearly, he lacked the required techniques to control it. It was like the gap between two great rivers. Without a bridge, the gap couldn't be crossed. Fang Chen could easily control the Five Elements but couldn't control any forces beyond them.

Fairy Yu checked on him cautiously. "Are you feeling better now, my lord?"

"Much better." Fang Chen nodded with a smile. "We've wasted some time. Let's continue on our journey."

Fairy Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the young princess's eyes flickered with emotion. She couldn't forget the scene she just witnessed.

The young princess hadn't expected Fang Chen to grow so much stronger. She recalled that time in the Great Qian Imperial Capital when he had slashed through all obstacles back.

"Back then, he could wound a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and now..." muttered the young princess.

In the end, she didn't dare to dwell on it any longer. However, she now looked at Fang Chen with a gaze filled with awe and curiosity.
