Chapter 2954: A Scene Only Visible with Two Eyes
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Ritual Code was something the Little Junior Sister unearthed, so it was returned to her for safekeeping.
The second Sage’s Eye was given to Tyrannical Song as a token of gratitude from Daozi on behalf of the Confucianists.
Tyrannical Song had done too much for the Confucians.
Even this 8.5th Heavenly Dao Ceremony was conducted using Tyrannical Song’s core world and fragments of the Heavenly Court—although the Northern Daoist had already negotiated the borrowing terms with Tyrannical Song, the very act of lending itself was a favor.
As the saying goes, “A drop of water shall be returned with a spring.”
Since Tyrannical Song already had one Sage’s Eye, the second eye should also be handed to him.
The teacher would probably agree with this decision.
After all, in all the worlds, only Tyrannical Song could wield the teacher’s eye so well, making the Sage’s Eye famous.
The Sage’s Eye and Tyrannical Song were fated to be together!
—
At the same time, in the core world…
Tyrannical Song’s upper body had already regenerated. He reached out, summoning a garment, and draped it over himself. He also preemptively wrapped a sheet around his body.
Once properly dressed, he summoned all his accessories back to him.
Particularly the Song Fat Ball Windbreaker!
With the Nine Nether Fat Ball Elder about to resurrect, the presence of the Song Fat Ball had become increasingly dangerous—no one could guarantee when it might suddenly connect with the resurrected Fat Ball Elder and regain its memories.
To prevent any accidents, Tyrannical Song recalled the Song Fat Ball Windbreaker and maintained the connection between the core world and the Evil Lotus World. It would be best to send the Song Fat Ball Windbreaker to Senior White Two.
After all, only Senior White Two could securely suppress the Song Fat Ball Windbreaker at this point.
As Tyrannical Song was recalling his accessories, a thick book suddenly broke through the air.
The book hurtled toward him with the sound of wind and thunder, exuding an imposing aura.
“Who dares attack my princess!” Virtuous Snake Beauty darted out, her electronic voice clear and powerful. She wrapped her body protectively around Tyrannical Song, shielding him from the book.
Clang!
The book struck the forehead of Virtuous Snake Beauty, producing a metallic clang.
“It’s the Ritual Code. It seems that Senior Daozi sensed we needed it, so he sent it back. The Heavenly Dao is terrifying; there’s practically no privacy in front of it. Thankfully, Senior Daozi is a gentleman. If it were someone with more sinister inclinations, who knows how much blackmail material they’d gather and store?” Tyrannical Song mused as he bent down to pick up the Ritual Code.
Virtuous Snake Beauty rubbed her forehead.
Then, she looked at Tyrannical Song.
After picking up the Ritual Code, Tyrannical Song casually flipped through it.
Virtuous Snake Beauty was speechless.
I got hit!
My forehead got smashed by the Ritual Code with a loud clang!
Seeing that Tyrannical Song’s attention was entirely focused on the Ritual Code, Virtuous Snake Beauty rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground, playing dead like a limp snake. “Ah, the wind is blowing.”
After her long-forgotten play-dead routine, Virtuous Snake Beauty lay on the ground, slyly peeking at Tyrannical Song.
And then… she saw a scene that made her scales stand on end!
Tyrannical Song had pulled an eye out from the Ritual Code.
This eye looked very ordinary, indistinguishable from a normal human eye.
However, any practitioner this year who saw this eye would immediately recognize it!
The second Confucian Sage’s Eye!
Virtuous Snake Beauty felt as if she heard a game-like notification sound in her mind: “Ding~ Congratulations, player ‘Tyrannical Song’ has collected the complete green set ‘Confucian Sage’s Eyes’ (Left) (Right).”
“A Sage’s Eye?” Tyrannical Song lifted the eye gently with his mind power.
At the same time, a blood web emerged from the void.
This was a blood web formed by a drop of Confucian Sage’s Blood that had assimilated with Tyrannical Song’s body. The blood web contained some of Tyrannical Song’s precious organs that couldn’t be regenerated with normal resurrection methods.
For example, the Third Divine Eye and the other Confucian Sage’s Eye…
“A pair of Sage’s Eyes.” Tyrannical Song held them with his mind power.
He actually gathered both of them?
So… should he try putting them on? The thought suddenly crossed Tyrannical Song’s mind.
The moment that thought surfaced, Creation Fairy sensed it and appeared.
She gently approached Tyrannical Song from behind, extending her hands to cover his eye sockets.
Painless eye removal!
Creation Fairy deftly plucked out Tyrannical Song’s recently regenerated eyes and kept them safe for future use.
Then, she skillfully inserted the pair of Confucian Sage’s Eyes into Tyrannical Song’s eye sockets.
The Third Divine Eye also lazily returned to its place in the void.
The Sage’s Blood enveloped the other precious organs, guiding them back into position.
Virtuous Snake Beauty lay on the ground, her head tilted as she stopped pretending to be dead. She watched Tyrannical Song with curiosity—she wanted to see what special changes Tyrannical Song would undergo after acquiring a complete set of eyes.
Hot!
Scorching heat!
As the pair of Sage’s Eyes were placed, Tyrannical Song felt his eye sockets heat up crazily.
Even with his high pain tolerance, the burning sensation was intense—an indication that the temperature was extraordinary.
Luckily, Tyrannical Song’s strength had already reached the Slaying Three Corpses Tribulation Immortal level; otherwise, his eye sockets would have been seared like before by the Confucian Sage’s Eyes.
Due to the constant rise in temperature from the Sage’s Eyes, Tyrannical Song’s eye sockets began secreting Tribulation Immortal Tears, which were then evaporated by the Sage’s Eyes, forming a white mist that enveloped the area in front of his eyes.
After a while…
Tyrannical Song finally adjusted to the Confucian Sage’s Eyes.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The Sage’s Eyes moved nimbly within their sockets.
“Is it foggy?” Tyrannical Song asked.
Pavilion Master Chu poetically replied, “Those aren’t fog; they’re your tears.”
“How about we collect them?” Tyrannical Song suggested—Tribulation Immortal Tears turned into mist were valuable materials for artifact crafting.
As they spoke, Tyrannical Song’s eyes began to shift slightly.
The focus of the Sage’s Eyes locked onto the cloud of ‘mist.’
The mist acted like a screen, and through this ‘screen,’ the Sage’s Eyes saw several fleeting images.
There was a fleeting image of Yun Quezi’s silhouette.
There was a scene of someone holding a child, looking lost.
There was an image of a person meticulously sewing a Confucian robe for a disciple.
There was a powerful arm gently writing Confucian characters on white paper.
Finally… the image froze on the Confucian characters.
Tyrannical Song couldn’t recognize the Confucian characters at all, but through the Confucian Sage’s Eyes, he could miraculously understand their meaning. The Sage’s Eyes had an auto-translate feature.
The Confucian characters contained the Sage’s analysis of his own innate ability.
And… its inheritance.
The Confucian Sage had researched and refined a method to turn his innate ability into a spell, to be passed down.
His research was successful, but also a failure.
—It was successful because the ability could indeed be passed down, but it was a failure because the cost was too great to be acceptable.
By consuming a Confucian Sage’s Eye and a Path of Longevity, one could gain the chance to inherit the Sage’s talent.
The success rate wasn’t even 100%…
Moreover, the Sage’s Eyes were different from Tyrannical Song’s eyes.
There were only two of them—no bulk supply!
The Sage wasn’t like Tyrannical Song, who had a habit of plucking out his own eyes.
In other words, at best, these two Sage’s Eyes could only allow two people to inherit the Sage’s talent, and that’s assuming things went perfectly.
