Eps. 78 — Eyes of the Sky God
“I will take care of my family now, no matter what I have to sacrifice they will still be saved.
Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly revealing his increasingly shining golden eyes. When he looked in the mirror, it could be seen clearly that his eyes were burning.
Jian Chen's eyes would glow when his heart was engulfed in emotion, be it sad, angry, or happy. When he saw his eyes as well Jian Chen suddenly recalled something related to that sense of sight.
“Heaven's Eyes! why can I forget that technique?!”
Jian Chen had just remembered about his technique that was often used in his previous life which was the Heaven God Eye technique.
As the name suggests, the Heaven God Eye was a technique for his eyes. Making Jian Chen's eyes had the use and advantage of learning the technique.
In general, the eye is one of the organs that can not be flowed by a swordsman but with special techniques for their eyes can open the flow.
Jian Chen recalled when in his first life he had fought an illusion expert swordsman. He could defeat him but fighting with him was not an easy matter.
Jian Chen was made to fight him without looking him in the eye, if he only saw the eyes of his enemy then he would be trapped in an illusion. Jian Chen had also been illusory, and at first when he had entered the illusion to exit it was quite difficult, requiring strong soul training so that one would not be fooled by an illusion.
Eyes that can use illusions are one of the eye techniques while the Eye of the Sky God is also one of the other techniques.
Jian Chen then sat on his bed, cross-legged and prepared to try the technique.
‘The human eye is blocked by 8 barrier gates, those who try to open those gates must have enough understanding to be able to open each gate.’.
Jian Chen inhaled a deep breath before closing his eyes. He started following the steps of the Heaven God Eye technique that his teacher taught him, yes, the technique did come from teacher Jian Chen.
The Eye of the Sky God was a supreme eye technique because one had to open 8 gates from his sight.
Eyes that could create illusions usually only opened 4 gates only, and to the best of Jian Chen's knowledge there were no eye techniques that exceeded 4 gates in this Dragon Empire.
Some time passed, slowly but surely, Jian Chen opened every gate from his sight until the sun appeared on the eastern horizon only then the process of opening the Heaven God Eye technique was completed.
Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief when his 8 vision gates had perfectly opened, even so only his left eye could use the Heaven God Eye, whereas his right eye was still as ordinary as before.
‘When the Eye of the Sky God opens, one will lose his sight for a thousand hours before it can finally be used.” Jian Chen muttered.
When Jian Chen opened his two eyes, he could feel his left eye completely dark like a real blind person. Only his right eye can see.
A month later Jian Chen only used one eye for daily activities, during the blindness Jian Chen was silent in his residence.
“Young Master, would you bother me, I just want to ask why the eyes of the young master are closed like that?”
Zhou Mei scratched her head curiously, from a few weeks ago the girl was astonished by her employer wearing an eye patch.
“Ah, this is just an accessory, tomorrow morning I will also take off.” Jian Chen chuckled, not explaining further.
When the blindfold opened, for a moment Jian Chen's left eye shone with a beautiful silvery color. The Heaven God Eyes turned Jian Chen's golden eyes into a shining silvery one.
“Hm.. Not that I am arrogant to myself but I admit this is indeed very stunning.” Jian Chen stroked his chin while praising in front of the mirror.
Jian Chen went to the outer courtyard to try the eyes, he exerted a deep force on his left eye and in a flash his iris changed from gold to silvery color again.
Then Jian Chen's vision increased sharply by several folds, his eyes could see the ants present in the grass that were quite far away from him. Not only that, the leaves that fell from the tree also slowed down in his vision.
Yet out of all those abilities, Jian Chen could absorb the light around him using the Heaven God Eye and it did not require as much inner power as usual.
“According to the teacher, the Eye of the Sky God has many other uses only that I did not know the secret of this eye technique.” Jian Chen scratched his head.
In his first life, Jian Chen only used the Heaven God Eye to absorb light alone but said his teacher the Heaven God Eye could be used various things including making illusions.
That power was still not open until Jian Chen died though, yet he still remembered his teacher said.
“Chen’er, Heaven God Eye is not a random eye technique, as long as you use it often then you can see other uses of the Heaven God Eye, many secret veils of this eye technique.”.
In this second life Jian Chen would maximize the Heaven God Eye until it reached a certain stage that previously Jian Chen only wore at once.
When Jian Chen thought that, his body suddenly felt staggering and almost lost its balance.
“I almost forgot that this eye has side effects, because my cultivation is still low I can only use it for 7 minutes.” Jian Chen hastily deactivated his Heaven God Eye, he said, he made his eyes return to their original golden color.
***
Three weeks passed, Jian Chen continued to practice his eye technique while practicing another martial art. The exercise was good for him, although slow, his Sky Eye can now be used for up to 10 minutes.
The energy within Jian Chen also increased to reach 500 inner power circles. Jian Chen locked himself in the residence for these 2 months.
“Young Master, is it true that you will return to the village today?” ask Zhou Mei.
“Yes, it's been a year since I studied at the academy and now it's time for me to go home to see my parents.” Jian Chen nodded. “I hope you also come home to them, maybe they miss you already.”
“Young Master joked, I always meet my parents once a week and if you intend, maybe it can be every day.”
If not for Jian Chen's generosity of allowing himself to freely meet his parents, Zhou Mei might have only met his mother and father for once a month.
“Good, then I say goodbye and say hello to your parents too.”
As long as Jian Chen went to his clan, Zhou Mei would remain in this residence. Zhou Mei stared at her master's back one last time before disappearing from the turn.
“I hope Young Master is safe until the destination.” Zhou Mei smiles and prays for Jian Chen's safety.
