Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: The Taste of Freedom

The night passed without a word.

When the first ray of the morning sun shone into Feng Piaoling's room the next day, his entire body had been rendered a shade of azure, and his spiritual sea was no exception.

Under the permeating, intense azure light, an unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his entire body. Feng Piaoling felt as if every single pore on his body was groaning in sheer bliss, greedily absorbing the dense life force from the Gold of Life.

Looking inward, he saw that his interior had completely turned an azure color filled with the breath of life. His already powerful meridians had become far more resilient than before, his internal organs grew tougher, and his bones became harder.

Under the washing of this azure light, the impurities within Feng Piaoling's body were continuously expelled through his pores.

Looking at the carving knife again, it had inserted itself into Feng Piaoling's skin at some point, sinking right into his skull.

Though it was painful, Feng Piaoling felt no fear at all; instead, he was filled with excitement.

A massive surge of life force poured from his forehead into his spiritual sea. In an instant, Feng Piaoling's spiritual sea transformed from a large lake into a boundless, jade-green ocean.

A grey shadow condensed into shape within the spiritual sea, turning into the form of a pale, white-robed old man.

It was none other than Electrolux.

"Elder Yi."

This was the first time Feng Piaoling had seen Electrolux's true appearance; previously, he had only seen a blurry figure.

Seeing Feng Piaoling, the old man smiled faintly. "Kid Feng, that sliver of my divine sense had no foundation before. Although it stabilized by cultivating your Heaven-Reaching Demon Eye, it was never a long-term solution. Next, I will nourish myself within this heaven-defying Gold of Life and will no longer reside in your spiritual sea. This will save you from having to act all timid and cautious every time you get intimate with those little girls."

"You noticed?" Feng Piaoling smiled.

Electrolux replied testily, "This old man isn't a fool. Alright, your second spiritual sea has already been opened up, and I will live there from now on. In the future, if you want to get intimate with those girls again, just seal off your spiritual sea. I won't actively break the seal. The method to seal it is..."

After saying this, Electrolux slashed his right hand through the air. A glowing azure door appeared before him. He waved at Feng Piaoling, turned into a phantom, stepped into the light door, and vanished.

As Electrolux entered Feng Piaoling's second spiritual sea, the carving knife pierced into his forehead trembled slightly before sinking entirely into his brow and disappearing.

Strangely, however, no blood flowed from the wound where it entered. Instead, a golden vertical eye formed there.

Suddenly, Feng Piaoling felt a brilliant light emanating from his forehead.

One mile.

Two miles.

Ten miles.

Twenty miles.

Thirty miles.

Everything within a full thirty miles exploded clearly into Feng Piaoling's mind.

A sharp pain suddenly shot through his forehead, and Electrolux's surprised voice echoed in his mind. "Huh? This Eye of Destiny has actually mutated."

"Mutated?" Feng Piaoling naturally knew that the formation of this Eye of Destiny was vastly different from the original story. After all, Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny didn't possess the ability to instantly see across dozens of miles.

In fact, if Feng Piaoling wanted to, he had no doubt he could peer straight through the underground rock layers.

It would just consume an immense amount of spiritual power. At his current state, he was not yet fully equipped to utilize this special Eye of Destiny freely.

Electrolux fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yes. Do you remember what I told you before about your Heaven-Reaching Demon Eye? Its greatest ability lies in using the simplest and most direct method to elevate your spiritual power, and the source of spiritual power is the soul. Just now, when fusing with the Gold of Life to form the Eye of Destiny and opening the second spiritual sea, it triggered a chain reaction with your Heaven-Reaching Demon Eye, causing your soul to open an eye."

"I am seeing this kind of situation for the first time as well. However, it should only bring you benefits and no harm. You can slowly familiarize yourself with this ability. Once your spiritual power grows stronger in the future, it should yield incredible effects."

Realization dawned on Feng Piaoling. "An eye of the soul? No wonder I felt like I could see everything within dozens of miles just now. This has already exceeded my spiritual perception range by tenfold."

Electrolux suggested, "A tenfold amplification of the senses might only be one aspect of the Soul Eye's ability. You can try doing what that kid named Huo Yuhao does—condense your spiritual power into a single point and launch an ability similar to a Soul Shock. I imagine this shouldn't be difficult for you."

Feng Piaoling nodded. In the past, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but it was largely meaningless. This was because a Soul Shock launched against enemies with stronger spiritual power than him would have almost no effect, and could easily cause a spiritual backlash.

As for those with weaker spiritual power than him, it was far faster to just kill them with a single sword strike.

It was nowhere near as useful as the Soul-Cleaving Divine Eye.

But with the Soul Eye, things were different.

A tenfold amplification of the senses meant his spiritual power was effectively amplified tenfold as well. A Soul Shock of this magnitude was already enough to threaten people whose spiritual power far exceeded his own.

"Let's call it the Light of the Soul from now on," Feng Piaoling thought to himself.

Electrolux said, "The Light of the Soul? A good name. But speaking of which, I have a good suggestion. Didn't you want the Spirit Soul method? It was only difficult to implement because no soul beasts were willing to cooperate. If you can use the Light of the Soul to weaken a soul beast's soul, then I might be able to forcefully convert it into a Spirit Soul."

Feng Piaoling nodded, silently keeping this matter in mind.

Following that, he asked the question he cared about the most. "Elder Yi, how well have you recovered now?"

Electrolux stated, "Setting other things aside, dealing with that Zhongli Wu and Xuan Zi is more than enough. However, my source origin is currently very limited, so I am not suited for prolonged battles. After all, my foundation lies within you. If the opponent is dead-set on dragging you down with them by self-detonating, I won't be able to stop it in time. Therefore, I have prepared this for you."

A massive hexagram array traced itself before Feng Piaoling, blooming with grey light and enveloping him within.

Feng Piaoling felt a flash of light followed by a violent wave of dizziness. Everything around him seemed to warp, as if trying to tear his body to pieces.

Right at that moment, a stream of icy cold air shielded him from within, completely isolating that sensation of agony.

Feeling his body relax, Feng Piaoling found himself standing in an entirely different world.

It was a dim, gloomy world. A bizarre sun hung in the sky, entirely black in color and emitting an eerie purple radiance.

Beneath this purple light, the terrain rolled unevenly.

As far as the eye could see, there was no plant life whatsoever. The earth was completely barren, pitch-black like ink, stretching out without end.

Behind him stood a massive door. He seemed to have just walked out from it.
