Chapter 97: Chapter 96: I Have The Final Say

Luo Wusheng’s thoughts drifted back to the moment when he had just returned to his room to cultivate.

At that time, everything was still normal.

With the unparalleled talent of the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, cultivation was much easier than eating and drinking.

Here, it’s worth mentioning the value of the Diabolic Saint Physique in the original story.

Although the progress of his Physique awakening had been stagnant since it’s first awakening when he was seven, even so, thanks to this Physique, his talent surpassed all the other geniuses in this world.

If he were born in this world as a girl, he would definitely have a harem rivaling Lu Yuliu’s original harem.

Ahem, he’s getting off track.

In any case, although he hadn’t cultivated for half a month, Luo Wusheng is still able to enter the cultivation state smoothly.

Soon, he felt a sense of entering a meditative state.

But at that moment, his storage pouch suddenly opened.

The mind-reading eyeball emerged from it as if it were a living creature, swiftly circling in mid-air.

Luo Wusheng had just noticed it when the eyeball suddenly charged at his head like it was injected with chicken blood.

However, being a Peak Golden Core stage expert, he quickly reacted and caught the charging eyeball in his hand.

As soon as he held it, the eyeball settled down.

Looking at the eyeball in his hand, Luo Wusheng contemplated.

Living creatures or certain special objects within the storage pouch could open it from the inside.

Hmm, this eyeball must be quite special, which explains why it could come out of the storage pouch.

But why did it ram into his head?

And it didn’t make any movement before.

It just rushed out as soon as he was about to start cultivating…

After a brief thought, he put the seemingly settled eyeball back into the storage pouch and entered the cultivation state again…

Snap!

The eyeball, which had sneaked out of the storage pouch, attempting to catch him off guard, was intercepted once again by Luo Wusheng, who was already prepared.

This time, Luo Wusheng clearly saw that it was heading towards his left eye.

What was this supposed to be?

Did it want to perform an eye transplant on him?

His left eye was perfectly fine for now, he didn’t need a new eye.

Besides, who knew what would happen if the eyeball collided with his head?

As Luo Wusheng pondered how to deal with this restless eyeball, he noticed that the eyeball in his palm not only didn’t settle down but also struggled vigorously.

Unfortunately, its power was still weak, and it couldn’t even make Luo Wusheng’s finger budge.

As the struggling in his hand gradually weakened, Luo Wusheng thought that the eyeball would finally give up.

But just as the eyeball became completely motionless, he was about to put it back into the storage pouch and seal it with a simple seal—

The eyeball in his hand disappeared into thin air.

With almost no time interval, the eyeball appeared in front of Luo Wusheng’s shrunken left pupil as if it teleported.

Without any interval, it crashed into his eye.

Caught off guard, Luo Wusheng didn’t have time to react and could only curse silently in his mind.

He had let his guard down and didn’t dodge.

Through his spiritual awareness, he saw the mind-reading eyeball slightly open like a gaping mouth, creating a gap, and then it directly entered his left eye socket, swallowing his entire left eye!

This horrifying scene reminded Luo Wusheng of many horror movie scenes he had seen in his past life, and he couldn’t help but shudder.

Fortunately, his left field of vision returned to normal right after disappearing.

Luo Wusheng tried moving his eyeball and found that it seemed no different from before.

Indeed, it was a xianxia world, even replacing an eyeball was done so cleanly and efficiently.

He inwardly expressed his sarcastic amazement but still didn’t take it lightly.

He tried using the method he had previously mastered to control the eyeball, infusing his spiritual awareness into his left eye.

And then, he felt that the eyeball transmitted a message.

[Ah… fresh flesh…]

Huh???

Before Luo Wusheng could react to this message, his spiritual awareness progressed further, and the scene he perceived instantly changed into a pitch-black space filled with white cuboids.

Entering this space with his spiritual awareness for the first time, Luo Wusheng was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly sensed that there was something different here compared to his previous entry.

His spiritual awareness descended slowly onto a platform.

On the platform, there were two shadows.

With just one glance, Luo Wusheng could recognize that the shadows corresponded to the shapes of Long Dahai and the fake diviner Gao Shi.

Just as he was about to investigate, a sudden change occurred.

His spiritual awareness split in two.

One part exited the Eye Space and returned to his own body, while the other part inexplicably emerged from one of the shadows.

It happened to be Gao Shi, the Heavenly Divination Tower Direct Disciple, at the moment when Bai Xiaoyao was about to ask him to identify the Star-Moon jade.

Both of them, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, failed to notice the faint ripple in the shape of an eyeball within the dark shadow.

…

Time returned to the present.

Luo Wusheng blinked his eyes vigorously.

Although his left eye didn’t feel much different from before, using it always made him feel a bit uneasy.

“It seems that this is a special way to tame this Artifact,” he sighed.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like a bad thing that his left eye was occupied by the mind-reading eyeball. At least, it had opened up some new functionalities for him.

Like the ability he had just experienced.

It seemed that any living being he had previously captured in the Eye Space would leave a shadow in the Eye Space.

His spiritual awareness could transfer from the shadow in the space to the true shadow of the person in the outside world, allowing him to perceive the current situation of the shadow owner.

….Let’s call it the Ephemeral Tether Nexus for now.

But why did Gao Shi’s result in identifying the Star-Moon jade differ from yesterday?

The [Art of Divination] requires the user to establish a connection with the Heavenly Mechanism in order for the technique to work.

However, at this moment, Gao Shi connection inexplicably latched on to Luo Wusheng instead.

At this moment, Luo Wusheng replaced the Heavenly Mechanism that provided feedback to the technique.

However, this feedback seemed to have some special rules.

Even if he provided feedback on behalf of the [Art of Divination], he had to give approximately correct information.

Fortunately, this didn’t pose a problem for him.

“The information I’ve provided is accurate… I only mentioned ’the only piece’ regarding the quantity. Well, ’the only piece’ can have many meanings. It could refer to the piece in Junior Sister’s hand, or the piece hanging on Little Yuli’s neck, or even the piece on Yao Ji’s Guqin…”

In any case, as the false Heavenly Mechanism, he had the final say.

Even if he hadn’t intervened, this appraisal wouldn’t have been a problem.

After all, that fake Diviner’s abilities were limited.

At most, he could only say something like “this is a rare find in this world” regarding the quantity.

“If it weren’t for the fear that Bai Xiaoyao would hear and realize that there’s a discrepancy between this place and what I said earlier, she might start getting suspicious… Sigh~~ it’s not good for a diligent child to be too perceptive. I feel more at ease with someone like Little Yuli.”

After today, his Junior Sister should no longer have any doubts about the Star Moon Jade.

When he noticed that Bai Xiaoyao had returned to her room via his spiritual awareness, Luo Wusheng finally felt relieved.

’Previously, the change in my eyes was caused by starting my cultivation… What would happen if I continued to cultivate now?’

He gently closed his eyes.
