Chapter 196: Chapter 174: Upgrade and Eye of True View

“Is this… for me?

Chen Sheng pointed at himself, asking somewhat uncertainly.

Although the purpose of their trip was the Qi Jie Stone and the legacy of the breathing method.

However, the other party gave it to him so easily. For a moment,

Chen Sheng was a little puzzled by Xiao Hei’s intentions.

But as soon as he spoke,

Xiao Hei immediately placed his palm in front of him and nodded heavily, his expression extremely serious.

The meaning couldn’t be clearer.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng no longer refused.

“Thank you.”

He nodded slightly and was ready to pick up the Qi Jie Stone.

But as his hand reached out,

He seemed to remember something and stopped abruptly.

Chen Sheng turned to look at Shen Ziming.

“How much do you need?”

He recalled that when he first got the Qi Jie Stone from Xu Rou, he merely touched her pendant, and the Qi Jie Stone was directly absorbed into his body.

He was not sure if there were any other Qi Jie Stones inside the Sealed Land or in Xiao Hei’s hands.

If there were only these three and all were absorbed by him,

That would be embarrassing.

After all, Shen Ziming was still waiting to use the Qi Jie Stone to kill the Heavenly Person Cells in his body.

Seeing Chen Sheng asking about this,

Shen Ziming was slightly startled at first.

Then,

He looked at the Qi Jie Stone in Xiao Hei’s hand, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

“I’ve used the Qi Jie Stone to clean up once before.”

“Now, the number of Heavenly Person Cells in my body is rare.”

“Half… should be just about enough.”

Hearing that, Chen Sheng nodded.

“Can you give him one?”

He looked at Xiao Hei and pointed at Shen Ziming.

Xiao Hei’s face immediately showed a very reluctant expression, like a sulking child.

But seeing Chen Sheng’s determined expression,

He reluctantly turned to look at Shen Ziming.

Swish!

His palm pierced through the air and directly reached Shen Ziming’s face.

“Just one.”

“Don’t take more.”

Xiao Hei emphasized very seriously, his eyes staring closely at Shen Ziming, fearing any abnormal behavior.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Sheng felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After all,

The tribal leader in the mural had a strong presence, like a martial god.

The tribal leader in reality spoke slowly, had a dull expression, and acted like a child with pursed lips and a cute demeanor.

This strong contrast, made Chen Sheng feel an inexplicable sense of trance. Looking at the outstretched palm in front of him,

And that gaze with a warning meaning on his body.

Shen Ziming awkwardly touched his nose.

He then carefully extended his finger, pinching a piece of broken stone from Xiao Hei’s hand.

Looking at the small stone emitting glowing light on the tip of his finger.

Shen Ziming’s eyes couldn’t help but flash a hint of joy.

Now with the Qi Jie Stone, he could finally get rid of the Heavenly Person Cells that had plagued him for years and regain a healthy body. As for the abilities brought by the Heavenly Person Cells?

Frankly,

Shen Ziming didn’t care much.

He would rather not have those abilities and completely cure the “familial genetic disease.”

This had almost become an obsession for Shen Ziming.

Thinking of this,

He took out a wooden box the size of a baby’s fist from his arms and carefully placed the Qi Jie Stone inside.

At the same time,

Chen Sheng, looking back at the palm stretching back to his face, couldn’t help but feel excited.

Eye of True View.

This was a skill he had acquired a long time ago.

It allowed him to view others’ attributes and, when concentrating, make the things in front of him move slowly.

The former allowed Chen Sheng to distinguish the strength difference between enemies and himself in most situations.

The latter provided great help to Chen Sheng in fights.

Previously, when facing Zhao Zhenfeng,

The agility attribute difference between the two sides was huge.

Chen Sheng relied on the ability brought by the Eye of True View to barely follow the opponent’s movements.

However, the Eye of True View was divided into five stages.

[Light Energy Realm, Breaking Illusions, Discerning Spirits, Judging Life and Death, See Past and Future]

Chen Sheng’s Eye of True View had never been upgraded and was still in the first stage, Light Energy Realm.

He was very much looking forward to the kind of enhancements each stage would bring after successfully breaking through.

As for now,

The only thing he needed to consider was whether the Qi Jie Stones in front of him were enough to upgrade his Eye of True View.

With that thought,

Chen Sheng no longer hesitated and picked up the two Qi Jie Stones in Xiao Hei’s hand.

For a moment,

A slight burning sensation came from his palm.

Chen Sheng’s expression remained unchanged,

He had experienced this absorption of Qi Jie Stone for the first time.

This burning-like pain,

For someone of his current physical attributes, it was just a tickle.

But the next second,

Chen Sheng felt his eyes stinging and dry.

At first, it was very mild,

But as time went on, the sensation became more and more intense.

He could only choose to close his eyes while rubbing them, hoping for some relief.

However,

It really didn’t help.

The stinging sensation became more intense, accompanied by sharp pains in the brain’s nerves, causing Chen Sheng to frown and let out a stifled groan.

“What’s… wrong with you?”

“Are you alright, Chen Sheng?”

Chen Sheng’s abnormality was noticed by the two beside him.

Their concerned questions followed,

Seeing that Chen Sheng’s body was a little unstable, Shen Ziming even stepped forward to support him.

“I’m fine.”

Chen Sheng forcefully endured the pain and gestured with his hand,

There would inevitably be an upgrade process if the Eye of True View advanced successfully.

He had anticipated this in advance.

Fortunately,

This sensation did not last long, and gradually subsided.

After ten seconds or so,

“Phew —”

Under the concerned gaze of the two beside him, Chen Sheng exhaled deeply.

He simply closed his eyes, feeling the flow of information rushing into his mind after the breakthrough of the Eye of True View,

When he opened his eyes again, there was a gleeful gleam in them.

“Don’t worry, I’m — ”

Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming, ready to reassure him,

But in the middle of speaking,

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Chen Sheng’s expression became somewhat absent-minded.

The reason for his performance was that the world he saw had changed.

Originally, in Chen Sheng’s eyes, there was nothing else in the grand hall radiating light except for the fiery glowing thunder.

But now,

Before his eyes were filled with colorful light points. These unknown objects filled every corner of the air.

Next to Shen Ziming, white light emanated.

Next to Chen Sheng, most of them were blue.

As for Little Shi,

For some reason, it seemed that all the light points avoided her as much as possible.

There was nothing within her vicinity.

“What is this…?”

Chen Sheng thought for a moment and understood what was in front of him.

The incredibly mysterious Qi.

Usually,

As long as a martial artist excavates enough potential from his body and breaks through the breathing technique to the breathing state stage, he can see the existence of Qi.

But for some reason,

Even though Chen Sheng had broken through several breathing techniques, he could not see the Qi.

It wasn’t until now,

He finally knew what the things he had heard countless times looked like.

Chen Sheng’s palm moved slightly in the air.

With the movement of his body, he could clearly see the blue light points dancing and leaping, following his palm incessantly.

This must be the Water Spirit.

After a brief test, Chen Sheng didn’t pay much attention to it.

Seeing Qi wouldn’t bring a noticeable improvement to his strength.

What really made him happy,

Were the changes in other aspects.

He called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 207 (19)] [Agility: 217 (21)]

[Constitution: 227 (16)]

[Skills: Eye of True View LVI: Breaking Illusions (This skill cannot be upgraded actively, but its effect will be enhanced as the attributes increase)]

[Skill Points: 230]

Two Qi Jie Stones raised Chen Sheng’s Agility by 20 points while successfully breaking through the Eye of True View.

In the stage of Breaking Illusions,

It’s not just the ability to break through illusions as it seems on the surface.

If it were just that, Chen Sheng wouldn’t be happy about it.

Because up until now, the only thing he encountered that could be regarded as an illusion was the melting cave in the Sealed Land above.

And as for enemies who controlled illusions, there was not even one.

The ability at this stage, according to the information flow when Chen Sheng broke through, was extremely simple and crude.

That was, Chen Sheng could observe the emotions of others and even… control them.

Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming.

In his line of sight, Shen Ziming’s body was filled with light points representing various emotions.

For example, right now, The most intense emotion in him,

Was concern and anxiety.

In addition, there were a little vigilance and fear, the light points representing these two emotions being slightly dimmer.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng’s gaze moved slightly.

The next second,

The negative emotion light points in Shen Ziming’s body separated directly under Chen Sheng’s control and converged continuously towards his palm.

Huh?

Just as Chen Sheng did this,

An odd expression flashed across Shen Ziming’s face.

Then,

His expression gradually became calm.

Originally, because the respected elder was constantly approaching the Heavenly Person Seal,

His heart had always been fearful and uneasy, but he didn’t show it.

But for some reason,

Now Shen Ziming felt that there was nothing scary about the respected elder.

Since it has come, just accept it.

Life is fate, so is death.

Everything is arranged by destiny.

In an instant,

Shen Ziming felt that he had become somewhat of a Buddhist, with an unprecedentedly open-minded state of mind.

He was like he had entered a state of sagehood.

All negative emotions had left him.

At this moment,

Chen Sheng looked at the emotion light points hovering around his palm.

With a slight thought,

These light points were absorbed into his body.

But it didn’t affect Chen Sheng.

Because Breaking Illusions’ control over emotions was very strong. Not only could Chen Sheng manipulate the emotions of others,

He could also actively absorb these emotions and store them in his body.

When necessary, he could even apply them directly to others.

And,

With the continuous improvement of Chen Sheng’s physical attributes, this ability would become even stronger over time.

Chen Sheng had already come up with countless ways to use this ability as he pondered in his mind.

Whether in daily life or in battle, it was extremely useful.

Having gained such a powerful ability,

He couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

The only downside was that this ability was not invincible.

The upper limit of the emotions Chen Sheng could control was directly linked to the strength of the person he was controlling.

Moreover,

When he wanted to apply the stored emotions to others, the stronger the person, the higher their resistance would be.

For example,

If Chen Sheng poured the same amount of fear into an ordinary person, it would scare him to the point of losing control of his bladder and soul.

But if it were applied to an enemy at the same level as Chen Sheng, it would probably only make them feel chilly for a moment.

Against a powerful enemy, Chen Sheng’s control over their emotions would be very limited.

But these limitations weren’t much of a problem.

If one portion of fear isn’t enough, just add another.

As long as the fear emotion Chen Sheng pours in is enough, he believes that even a stronger enemy’s behavior would change due to emotions.

In battle,

A subtle change in emotions can affect the outcome.

Therefore, this limitation wasn’t an issue for Chen Sheng.

With this realization,

He who had finished testing, while diverting his attention, continuously absorbed negative emotions from Shen Ziming.

At the same time, he turned his gaze back to Little Shi in front of him.

“Thank you, these things are very useful to us.”

Chen Sheng nodded his thanks again.

If it weren’t for their Qi Jie Stones, he wouldn’t have gained such a powerful ability.

Shen Ziming’s health issue also couldn’t be resolved in a short time.

Therefore,

This genuine expression of gratitude from Chen Sheng was heartfelt.

Hearing Chen Sheng’s apology, Little Shi’s face immediately showed a proud expression like a child who had been praised.

“And there’s more.”

Seemingly trying to perform better in front of Chen Sheng,

He excitedly grabbed Chen Sheng’s arm and gestured for him to look at the side of the grand hall. Screech-

At the same time,

The black liquid on the ground began to wriggle again.

The target this time was the last mural on the wall beside the grand hall..
