The Swordsman of Heaven
Chapter 23: Resurrecting the Heavenly Eyes
Chapters 23.
"Based on a naughty student! Do you want to flatten this whole forest?" Said the Master while smilingly staring at Zhao Feng.
"Sorry, Teacher. I didn't expect at all that I would get out of control..." Reply Zhao Feng while lowering his gaze down.
The Master could only smile when he saw Zhao Feng's reply, indeed, this was not all his fault, after all, there was not the slightest damage done to the Endless Illusionary Forest. Thus, he did not need to give any punishment to Zhao Feng for his negligence in controlling his own strength.
"Look at yourself, you yourself have caused a setback on yourself. That power does help you a lot, but there's also a price you have to pay for that kind of power." Clearly the Master shook his head slowly.
Zhao Feng was speechless, his senses were turbulent in his heart. He felt that the power was very heavy for him to carry, he was afraid, if he would become a power-hungry figure. He was afraid, if he would lose to his own strength, and become a man he hated and did not want.
"The more power you have, the greater the price you will pay. That's the responsibility you'll always carry for the rest of your life." The Master continued, explaining how much responsibility Zhao Feng would bear for the rest of his life.
"Teacher... Can I take all that responsibility?" Zhao Feng asked the Master with his soft voice.
"Of course, Disciple. You can definitely! As long as there is a will in you to keep fighting. That's why this training is there for you, to prepare yourself to assume all those responsibilities later." The Master replied with a meaningful smile towards Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng fell silent again, he still thought hard about all the responsibilities he would shoulder. The Master, who was looking at his disciple, slowly walked up to Zhao Feng and gently stroked his head.
"Don't worry, my student. As long as you uphold the truth in your heart, it will follow you. And vice versa..." The Master was clear with his soft voice.
Zhao Feng was speechless, his feelings still churning in his heart. But after thinking about all the words of the Master, he found a very important meaning. He turned his head up, and looked at his Master with a burning gaze, saying ;
"I can do it, Master! I will bring a light of hope to this Star continent!" Zhao Feng exclaimed loudly, and with a look in his eyes that contained a burning spirit flame.
"Good, Disciple! You can do it!" The Master exclaimed as well, while tightly hugging the only disciple.

The Sunlight was quite blazing, it was illuminating the Endless Illusion forest, the place where Zhao Feng lived and practiced was brought with him the guidance of the Master. But today is very much different from his usual days, usually, he will feel various sufferings in his training, but today no longer.
In fact, Zhao Feng was ordered by the Master to rest his body, no matter what he meant, he had no idea. Because of his habit of always doing strenuous activities, today, he feels very bored. He just sat pensively looking at the surrounding nature, without thinking about what he should do to get rid of his boredom.
Also, today, he felt that his body was extremely weak. Just to run 30 laps, he felt tired, whereas before, he did a full 50 laps run just never felt this tired. It's really weird. Ever since he forcefully broke through his own boundaries, this strange thing happened to him.
But as Zhao Feng was pensively thinking about what was really happening to him, he suddenly saw the figure of the Master walking over to him with a slight smile on his face.
"You must be wondering why that happened, right, my disciple? You're not stupid, do you think, why is that weirdness happening to you?" Ask the Master while grinning at him.
Zhao Feng who heard it, immediately recalled the incident a few days ago, where he was practicing a match with the Master. In a very cornered state, he without a second thought, was desperate to try to break through his own limits.
"Is this all a result of my carelessness, Master?" Zhao Feng asked the Master.
"You think?" Ask the Master back.
Zhao Feng fell silent, thinking about how stupid he was. Supposedly, he did not act so recklessly, if the training was a real battle, then it was certain that he had made a fatal mistake. But he did not understand, why he felt that he was the same at once could not feel the flow of Qi energy that was around him. It's really weird.
"Unfortunately, the Qi circle in your dantian has almost disappeared completely, as a result of you trying to break through the barrier that is on you. Be thankful that your Meridan is not destroyed." Said the Master while staring intently at Zhao Feng.
"Lantas, what should I do, Master?" Zhao Feng asked with his glare.
"To repeat from the beginning, it will be more time-consuming, and also make all the training you have undergone becomes useless. Therefore, I have prepared a special method for you." Reply to the Master with a mysterious smile looking at the confused Zhao Feng.
"I feel there is something bad about Master's smile..." Inner Zhao Feng, along with the feathers of his nape that started to stand up.

Lightning struck fiercely, followed by a huge storm that nearly destroyed much of the Liu Empire. Everyone panicked, and flocked to the Temple of offerings to ask the gods of Nirvana for help to be saved from the lurking distress.
The Cultivators with the High Realm, feeling very uneasy, they were worried that this raging natural disaster, was a warning of the coming danger. Recently, the Liu Empire had experienced natural disaster events without cause, which made Emperor Liu Yang Shin feel very confused about the strange events.
Gathering all the Imperial Cultivators in the meeting room, in order to discuss about the recent dahysat natural disaster in a row. The meeting was attended directly by Emperor Liu Yang Shin, with various Clan Heads as well as Sect Elders residing in his Imperial territory.
"I am sure, if the Elders have known, if recently, the myriad natural disasters that have struck this Empire. Not just once, but in a row. I'm not sure what that sign is, therefore, I gathered the Elders together to discuss it here..." Said the Emperor, indicating that the meeting had begun.
"Please get permission, Your Honor. This was the first event to occur in this Empire, after thousands of years ago. Certainly, this was no ordinary natural disaster, it must have been a warning of the coming danger in this Empire." Said one of the Elders, expressing his own opinion regarding this strange phenomenon.
"Please ask permission, Your Majesty. I agree with the opinion of Elder Zha Wujin, this strange phenomenon cannot be just a coincidence. There must be a reason behind it." Continued one of the other Elders, agreeing with the opinion of Elder Zha Wujin.
"Honor to you, Your Majesty. If the opinion of Elder Zha Wujin is indeed true, then we all have to put up a high vigilance. Moreover, according to the rumors circulating, the source of the strange phenomenon was around the Endless Illusion Forest." Said one of the other Elders, which made Emperor Liu Yang Shin even more dizzy.
Who is not familiar with the Endless Illusion Forest, a forest famous for its awesomeness. The forest was on the outskirts of the Liu Empire, to the south, which was almost adjacent to the border with the Xiao Empire. The forest is dubbed as haunted forest and is very dangerous, not without cause. Not only was it the residence of a High-Ranking Spiritual Beast, it was said, there was a rumor, that the Forest was the residence of a Cultivator with a very high Cultivation Realm.
No one knew who the figure was, and was in what realm his cultivation was. But according to the rumors circulating, the figure had a cultivation realm that almost equaled the Cultivation Realm of the Nirvana Gods. I don't know where the source of the rumors came from, but clearly, not a few people believe the rumors.
"Please, Your Majesty! Opinion from Elder Zhi Pai, there might be a point. We better have to sharpen our alertness all the more, just in case something comes that is very undesirable." Said one of the other Elders, agreeing to the opinion of Elder Zhi Pai.
"alright. Thank you for the opinions of the Elders. It can be concluded, if whatever the meaning behind this strange phenomenon, it will also be influential in the fate of the Liu Empire in the future. With this, I as Emperor Liu, will further strengthen the defenses in the entire territory of the Empire! Moreover, to the settlements of my people located not far from the Endless Illusionary Forest!" Said the Emperor aloud, which was also a sign that the meeting was over.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhao Feng was currently sitting on a rock that was quite large, in the middle of a very dangerous lake. Yes, the lake is Illusion Lake, which, being one of the training places.
This time, he did not have to soak in the lake, in fact, he was told not to fall into the lake. Zhao Feng only obeyed the Master's orders, even though it felt very strange to him.
On the edge of the lake, the Master who was sitting with the attitude of Lotus facing towards him. He looked towards her, with his face flat. Beside him, there was a golden-coloured sword thrust into the ground. The sword emitted a faint golden light that shone, which of course, also emitted an enormous aura of oppression.
But fortunately, the aura of oppression did not reach Zhao Feng. I don't know what makes the aura of oppression does not hit it, even though the distance with the sword is not a long distance. But still, he felt very grateful because he did not need to feel the slightest suffering anymore.
"Remember, Zhao Feng! Don't believe anything you'll see! Just focus your mind on returning your realm!" Shouted the Master loudly, telling Zhao Feng not to believe all the things he would see in the future.
"Good, Teacher!" Zhao Feng replied with his voice out loud anyway.
No reply was heard in Zhao Feng's ears, as the Master looked like he was casting a spell. Zhao Feng had no idea for sure, whether the Master was chanting a spell or something, obviously, he could see that the mouth of the Master was twitching, like he was casting a spell.
Zhao Feng slowly began to close his eyes, accompanied by a wind that suddenly blew very hard. He can also hear the sound of water being blown up, like the sound of water being boiled. The temperature he felt also felt increasingly heated, which made him feel if his current skin had burned.
Ctarrr!
With the blink of an eye, the atmosphere that had previously felt very soothing and normal, had now completely changed. Lightning struck very fiercely, followed by a very heavy rain.
Simultaneously, Zhao Feng felt that his entire body was being squeezed by something extremely heavy. Not stopping there anyway, he felt if his eyes were burning with a very hot fire. He bit his lips to the point of bleeding, to endure all the pain he was feeling right now.
Above the sky, it appears that thick black clouds are gathering and forming a very large vortex. From behind the thick clouds, there is a golden light that shines very brightly.
The rampage of nature grew even more so, as if nature was feeling very uneasy about what the Master was trying to do to Zhao Feng. But even though the raging nature of the rampage grew more violent, it was precisely Zhao Feng who seemed to be completely unperturbed by it all.
Although he felt very sick, but there was something much more important than that. Deep in his subconscious, he was looking at a sight he was very unwilling to see for the rest of his life. Suddenly, Zhao Feng shouted loudly, with tears streaming down from both of his eyes. No one knew what he was seeing, but what was clear, whatever Zhao Feng saw, was a far cry from "beautiful".
