Chapter 555: The Ownership of the Fairy Eye
Of course, Jing Yu was secretly regretful even though he was grumbling in his heart. In fact, whether it was the [Fate-Knowing Treasure Mirror] in its previous state as an artifact, or the [Xuan Mirror] which was now between an artifact and a magical power, the [Fairy Spiritual Energy] that it slowly accumulated was useless to cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm.
And it is impossible for Jing Yu to give this [Fairy Spiritual Energy] directly to the God-Transforming Old Monster in the Immortal Continent in exchange for spiritual resources for cultivation. Otherwise, it would have been kept in captivity and used as a movable [Fairy Spirit Eye] for the God-Transforming Monk to comprehend the laws!
In addition, this [Fairy Spirit] cannot be accumulated indefinitely. Once the mirror is full, it will stop absorbing it. At this stage, Jing Yu has no other use for it except to spy on others.
But Xiao Guanying continued, "All the [Immortal Eyes] in the Immortal Continent are above the Nine Heavens Gale Layer. Each [Immortal Eye] is occupied by one or more Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and is protected by numerous formations."
"Note that I am saying that every fairy eye is occupied."
Xiao Guanying said leisurely, "At least until this point today, there are no unowned immortal eyes in the entire Immortal Continent."
"Most of the Daoists present here may not know that two hundred years ago, when [Jian Ge] was destroyed, the [Immortal Eye] belonging to [Jian Ge] was temporarily without an owner. At that time, the present-day Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarchs fought several battles in the Nine Heavens, all for the ultimate ownership of this [Immortal Eye]."
"Later, Fellow Daoist Qi from Songfeng Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Kan from Xuanyin Pavilion, two Divine Transformations from Penglai Holy Land, and the combined power of four Heavenly Sovereigns were able to protect this Immortal Eye."
"Later, the Heavenly Sovereigns agreed that if within two thousand years, a descendant of the Sword Pavilion could achieve the status of a Divine Transformation Heavenly Sovereign, that person would inherit the [Immortal Spirit Eye]."
"But if no disciple from the Sword Pavilion can achieve this in the past two thousand years..."
Xiao Guanying said calmly, "By then, the Sword Pavilion would have completely declined or even disappeared. Then, this Immortal Eye would have rightfully belonged to the Penglai righteous sect, One Mountain and Two Pavilions, and been divided among a few fellow Taoists... Am I right?"
The spiritual incarnations of the two Supreme Gods, Qi Tianhua and Kan Qingyin, from Songfeng Pavilion and Xuanyin Pavilion, remained silent, obviously acknowledging that what Xiao Guanying said was true.
Xiao Guanying gathered his sleeves and smiled, "I went to the North Sea earlier to take a look. Although Chu Jingsheng has a high aptitude for cultivation, his talent in swordsmanship can only be considered mediocre. Pure swordsmen have far fewer options for achieving Divine Transformation than ordinary cultivators. I don't think his chances of achieving Divine Transformation are high."
"The only one who truly has the potential to revive the Jiange Daoist tradition is none other than Li Suxuan, who has now disappeared without a trace!"
"However, no matter how talented a cultivator is, there's no guarantee they'll make it to the end... If Li Suxuan unfortunately perishes on the path to Divine Transformation... then this Immortal Eye will be in the pockets of your fellow Daoists."
"And if Li Suxuan becomes a god, you guys will have done him a huge favor. It's not a loss anyway. You fellow Taoists really have a good plan!"
Sitting upright in the seat of the Golden Core True Person, Guan Lingxiao gently stroked the wooden sword on his knees, his expression calm. The black cloth in front of him completely blocked the dazzling brilliance in the blind boy's eyes. He silently said in his heart:
"There are more than just these two Sword Pavilion heirs who have the potential to become gods..."
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, why do pure sword cultivators have so few options for becoming gods?" Jing Yu was puzzled after hearing what Xiao Guanying said, and asked Nangong Fuhua through voice transmission.
Nangong Fuhua was slightly startled, but when he saw that it was Jing Yu who was transmitting the message, his expression eased slightly and he replied in a gentle voice:
"Xuan Jing doesn't know that most pure sword cultivators are extremely passionate about swords, so they naturally have the deepest understanding of the sword path. If they choose to transform into a spirit, they must reserve an acupoint to refine the [Law of the Sword]."
"However, the [Law of the Sword] is inherently more difficult to control than the [Law of the Five Elements], and therefore requires a more stable law structure as a ballast."
"Xuan Jing, think about this. If a pure sword cultivator has only reached the five orifices of the infant stage, how can he achieve spiritual enlightenment?"
"One of the orifices has already been reserved for the [Law of the Sword]. If the remaining four orifices are refined into the Five Elements, one element will be missing. If the Five Elements are incomplete, one wrong move will cause the entire law system to collapse in an instant."
"And if I give up the [Law of the Sword] and use the [Law of the Five Elements] to refine the acupoints and build a body of spiritual transformation? Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up the way of the sword?"
"To abandon the fundamental path one has pursued all his life in order to achieve Divine Transformation is tantamount to suicide for a pure sword cultivator."
"So generally speaking, if a Sword Dao True Lord wants to become a god, most of them need to open up all six orifices, using one orifice to refine the [Law of the Sword], and the other five orifices to refine the [Law of the Five Elements]. This is considered a stable framework."
Jing Yu nodded secretly: "I see... Sword cultivators have unrivaled killing power among their peers, but the price they pay is that the law they seek for a certain acupoint was determined long ago, and they naturally have fewer combinations of laws than other cultivators."
Xiao Guanying continued:
"But even if no one in the Sword Pavilion is able to reach the Divine Transformation Realm in the end, and this [Immortal Eye] is divided among the [One Mountain and Two Pavilions], do you think they will give this [Immortal Eye] to outsiders for use?"
"Will not."
Xiao Guanying shook his head: "Except for the true disciples of our sect, or close blood relatives... they won't leak out even a trace of immortal spirit energy."
"Because if a new Divine Transformation cultivator is promoted and has no relatives or friends, the current Heavenly Monarch will always face a problem - does that mean the new Divine Transformation cultivator has no relatives, friends, disciples, or old acquaintances?"
"Eventually, when they reach the end of their lives or ascend to heaven, newly promoted Divine Transformation cultivators will form a new circle of interests, and their original [Immortal Eyes] will most likely be usurped. This is something they cannot accept."
Xiao Guanying sneered:
"To prevent this from happening, they won't even give you the chance to become a god!"
"If a cultivator in this world who is not of the Divine Transformation Sect wishes to achieve Divine Transformation, unless a new [Immortal Eye] forms above the Nine Heavens, or an extreme event such as the destruction of [Jian Ge] occurs..."
"Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you will just be stuck at the Nascent Soul stage, or retreat to some cave to seek a pseudo-godhood."
"But I am different."
Xiao Guanying said leisurely, "My mentor, the Demon Lord Kuruo, is about to ascend to heaven, and his Immortal Eye will be inherited by Gu Duzi."
"This [Immortal Eye] is considered medium-sized. Besides me, the [Immortal Spiritual Energy] it produces can probably be used by two Divine Transformation cultivators to comprehend the laws..."
"I have been away from my master for a long time, and I have no old friends to burden me. My foundation is just in its infancy, and I am eager to recruit talented people. These two positions for the God Transformation Realm are real!"
