Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 373 The Eye of Creation
The eyes are the windows to the soul!

Li Yunjing's third eye appeared, seemingly able to guide the inexplicable mysterious power within his sea of ​​consciousness, making him even stronger!

This is a golden opportunity!

You absolutely can't miss it!
With a formidable enemy at hand, Li Yunjing sat cross-legged on the aft deck, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness, fully activating the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

The red mark between his eyebrows grew even deeper, as if a mysterious power was brewing within it, ready to burst forth at any moment.

The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" is closely connected to his sea of ​​consciousness, forming a mysterious channel between the real and the illusory.

Li Yunjing could feel that his mental strength was growing at an unprecedented speed, as if it was about to break through some kind of shackle and reach a new realm.

"The eyes are the windows to the soul... Perhaps the third eye is the key to unlocking the mysterious power deep within my consciousness!"

Li Yunjing understood this and focused even more intently on guiding the power within his body.

Above Li Yunjing's head, the "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" appeared, rotating around him as if protecting its master.

Liao Wanqing and Zeng Jin, both in the driver's seat, felt the powerful aura emanating from Li Yunjing and couldn't help but hold their breath.

As they steered the "Azure Cloud Boat" deeper into the Thunder Sea, they observed the changes in Li Yunjing.

Amidst the dark clouds in the sky, thunderous power rumbled and pierced through Li Yunjing's Heavenly Gate!
Anyone struck by a bolt of lightning will be reduced to ashes.

Li Yunjing, however, showed no unusual reaction and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the baptism of the heavenly lightning.

The thunder and lightning also halted Qiu Wuhen's pursuit.

Under such thunderous force, Qiu Wuhen's face turned pale.

Even a Golden Core cultivator is but an ant under the overwhelming might of Heaven.

It was just a slightly stronger ant.

Even if Qiu Wuhen were struck by two or three bolts of lightning, he would die from the lightning strikes!
Without the enemy's harassment, Li Yunjing felt much more at ease.

He can focus wholeheartedly on this important transformation.

As time passed, a thin crack gradually appeared on the red mark between Li Yunjing's eyebrows, from which bright red blood seeped out.

It was as if an eye was about to open from within.

At the same time, the mysterious power in his mind began to boil, surging towards his brow like a tide.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, as if something had been broken.

Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed "eye" between his eyebrows suddenly opened, and a dazzling light shot out from it, shooting straight into the sky!
"The third eye... has opened!"

Li Yunjing was shocked, feeling an unprecedented power.

This "divine eye" is not a real eye, but a manifestation of spiritual power.

Through it, Li Yunjing was able to see many things that ordinary people could not perceive.

This is the real Heavenly Eye!
Li Yunjing needs to explore its specific effects further.

Judging from appearances alone, he can already guide the power of the mysterious sea of ​​thunder from his sea of ​​consciousness!

“What an unexpected surprise!”

Li Yunjing was extremely excited.

He slowly stood up, and the "divine eye" between his eyebrows gradually disappeared, leaving only a faint red mark.

However, Li Yunjing knew that this "divine eye" had become a part of him and could be used at any time.

"Brother Li, you... you succeeded?"

Liao Wanqing cautiously asked via telepathy.

Li Yun nodded and smiled in response, "That's right, my third eye has been activated, and my strength has greatly increased. Next, it's time to deal with Qiu Wuhen!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jin's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Congratulations, Brother Li! With this 'Divine Eye,' our chances of dealing with Qiu Wuhen are even greater!"

Li Yunjing glanced at him and said calmly, "Zeng Jin, since you have chosen to follow us, remember that there is only one chance to betray. If you have any further doubts, I will show no mercy."

Zeng Jin's expression changed, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "Brother Li, rest assured, I would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts!"

Li Yunjing said no more, then turned to Liao Wanqing and said, "Fairy Liao, slow down. You don't need to worry about anything later."

"The Azure Cloud Ship has a lightning pool that stores lightning power! When lightning strikes, it will be absorbed and will not affect your safety."

"Qiu Wuhen, leave him to me alone!"

Liao Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you! Brother Li, be careful!"

Liao Wanqing knew that she and Zeng Jin couldn't help, so obeying Li Yunjing's orders and not causing him any trouble was the only thing she could do.

Unexpectedly awakening his divine eyes, Li Yunjing stood on the aft deck of the "Azure Cloud Boat," his gaze sharp as lightning, staring directly at Qiu Wuhen. He intended to use the surrounding environment to challenge a Golden Core Realm Level 3 expert in a one-on-one duel!
"Qiu Wuhen! Since you've chased me all this way, I'll fight you and see who's better!"

As Li Yunjing flew out of the "Azure Cloud Boat," his aura exploded, and he coldly stared at Qiu Wuhen, the sect leader of the "Autumn Leaf Sword Sect"!
"Boom!"

As Li Yunjing roared, dark clouds gathered and lightning flashed, as if a huge storm was brewing.

The red mark between his eyebrows flickered slightly, and his third eye quietly opened.

In an instant, Li Yunjing's vision became incredibly clear, and he could even see through layers of dark clouds to catch a glimpse of Qiu Wuhen's figure.

If Li Yunjing's divine sense surpassed his eyesight before, now his eyesight surpassed his divine sense; he could see everything clearly within a 33-mile radius.

All things in heaven and earth, including the primordial energy that could not be seen clearly, slowly flowed and took shape in his eyes.

"Kid! What did you say? You want to fight me one-on-one? Are you crazy? Or did I hear you wrong?"

Qiu Wuhen stared wide-eyed at Li Yunjing's words, looking him up and down in disbelief that they had come from his mouth!
You are a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and have mastered the technique of controlling lightning!

But after all, he's just a minor Foundation Establishment Realm sixth-level cultivator!

Your cultivation is inferior to mine, your magical power is inferior to mine, so what makes you think you can challenge me to a duel?
Qiu Wuhen was so angry he laughed; it was utterly ridiculous.

He has been cultivating Taoism for over six hundred years. In such a long life, he has seen many arrogant people, but he has never seen such an arrogant kid as Li Yunjing before!
This completely shattered Qiu Wuhen's understanding!

The sect leader had a cold gaze and a mocking smile on his lips, as if he were laughing at Li Yunjing's overestimation of his abilities.

He was really furious!
Qiu Wuhen has decided to use the most cruel methods to make Li Yunjing wish he were dead.

"Hehe! You're not so old that you're deaf and blind. I did say I'd fight you one-on-one, and show you what the true teachings of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' are!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly.

All ten true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have a record of killing Golden Core Realm cultivators and are recognized as geniuses by countless disciples!

If Li Yunjing wants to catch up and kill a Golden Core cultivator, that is an essential step!
Taking advantage of the favorable weather, and with two "spectators" as witnesses, he directly killed Qiu Wuhen, the sect leader of the "Autumn Leaf Sword Sect"!
"Li Yunjing, do you think that by opening your third eye you can contend with me? Or do you think that by borrowing the power of heavenly lightning you can hit me on the vast sea?"

Qiu Wuhen sneered repeatedly, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.

Li Yunjing's arrogance had already sentenced him to death in his mind!

"Then give it a try!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunjing formed a hand seal, and the power of the sea of ​​thunder in his sea of ​​consciousness erupted instantly.

A surge of immense lightning power erupted from the vertical eye between his brows, transforming into a thunder dragon that roared as it charged toward Qiu Wuhen.

"Unbelievable!"

Qiu Wuhen snorted coldly, and with a wave of his longsword, a huge sword beam met Li Yunjing's thunder dragon.

The two forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar that seemed to make the heavens and earth tremble.

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing's third eye flickered slightly. He could clearly see every movement of Qiu Wuhen and even predict his next attack.

He flashed and changed angle, unleashing another bolt of lightning!
Since opening his divine eyes, with the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" acting as a medium between reality and illusion, Li Yunjing has been able to draw upon the power within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of lightning there seemed boundless and unimaginably powerful. It was activated twice in succession, yet it had no effect on Li Yunjing's condition whatsoever; it was as if the power there was unrelated to the lightning power and true essence stored within his body.

This greatly shocked Li Yunjing!
Doesn't that mean his fighting ability can continue indefinitely?
With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing, without waiting for Qiu Wuhen to block the lightning bolt, repeatedly activated his Divine Eye, continuously shooting out bolts of lightning to attack his movement trajectory!

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning struck, and Qiu Wuhen could no longer dodge it. He tried to block it with his sword, but it failed to completely stop the lightning's power. Instead, it blasted the sword away.

Qiu Wuhen's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Li Yunjing to release lightning so quickly.

Moreover, each bolt of lightning was incredibly powerful and capable of harming even a Golden Core cultivator.

At this moment, his weapon was knocked away, and his combat strength dropped by 30%.

That's the downside of sword cultivators; without a weapon that has been nurtured for many years, they lose their strongest means of attack.

At this moment, Qiu Wuhen cast spells one after another to resist Li Yunjing's lightning attack!
At the same time, he mentally connected with his flying sword, intending to summon his weapon back.

But Li Yunjing's gaze was so powerful it was almost abnormal.

Lightning flashed everywhere in the air, leaving almost no place for him to step!

The sheer number of lightning bolts severely compressed Qiu Wuhen's movement space, forcing him to rely on his own strength to withstand many of the incoming bolts!

Qiu Wuhen was not a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and did not cultivate powerful lightning techniques. He relied entirely on his own strength to withstand this attack!
These lightning bolts all originated from the fortune Li Yunjing had obtained. He unleashed a wisp of power from them, and the lightning bolts swept through Qiu Wuhen's defenses with unstoppable force, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

"How can it be!"

A look of shock flashed in Qiu Wuhen's eyes. He had not expected that Li Yunjing's strength had improved to such an extent.

"You are doomed today!"

After repeated trials, Li Yunjing gained confidence and couldn't help but sneer, the lightning in his third eye becoming even more intense.

Li Yunjing gave Qiu Wuhen no chance to breathe. The power of the Thunder Sea surged out continuously, transforming into countless bolts of lightning that completely surrounded Qiu Wuhen.

"Young man! I never expected you to have such methods!"

Qiu Wuhen roared, his full magical power surging as he attempted to break through Li Yunjing's blockade.

However, Li Yunjing's "Creation Divine Eye" sees through everything and had already seen through the direction he might move. The power of thunder accurately struck Qiu Wuhen's direction of movement, giving him no chance to escape the attack range.

"boom!"

He was struck by dozens of bolts of lightning again. With a loud bang, Qiu Wuhen's body was pierced by the lightning, and he fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

"How can it be!"

His eyes were filled with resentment and fear as he crashed heavily into the sea. His body became numb, and he seemed unable to move.

"call……"

Li Yunjing let out a long breath and gave chase, while the red mark between his eyebrows gradually faded away.

"boom!"

He unleashed the "Blood Demon Seal," which struck Qiu Wuhen squarely on the head, shattering it to pieces!
"Whoosh..."

A golden light flew out; it was Qiu Wuhen's primordial spirit, which had escaped his body in an attempt to flee!

In this sea area, Li Yunjing didn't even need to make a move. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and Qiu Wuhen's primordial spirit was instantly reduced to ashes.

Li Yunjing reached out and grabbed the body that was about to fall into the sea, holding it in his hand.

He glanced at Qiu Wuhen's corpse, a hint of weariness in his expression, and said softly, "It's over."

The use of the "Creation Divine Eye" does not consume magical power, but using the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" for a long time to establish a connection between reality and illusion, and to guide and stimulate the power in the sea of ​​consciousness, requires a large amount of mental energy.

At first, Li Yunjing was full of energy and excitedly attacked Qiu Wuhen. Later, he became mentally exhausted and even had the urge to take a long nap like an ordinary person.

Fortunately, Qiu Wuhen was no formidable opponent, and he was killed before Li Yunjing could exhaust himself.

After collecting all of Qiu Wuhen's belongings, Li Yunjing took a "Nourishing Spirit Pill" to feel better.

"It seems that activating the 'Eye of Creation' requires too much mental energy! I must speed up the cultivation of the 'Purple Cloud Forging God Heavenly Secrets Technique'!"

The power of the sea of ​​consciousness gave Li Yunjing a taste of its benefits, so he shifted his focus of cultivation to the "Purple Cloud Forging God Heavenly Secret Technique" to enhance his spiritual power.

As Li Yunjing was deep in thought, the "Azure Cloud Boat" flew over, and Liao Wanqing and Zeng Jin flew down from the "Azure Cloud Boat" and came to Li Yunjing's side.

Liao Wanqing's eyes were full of admiration as she whispered, "Brother Li, you are truly amazing!"

Zeng Jin, his face filled with awe, nodded repeatedly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li's strength has truly broadened my horizons! I have never seen a Foundation Establishment Realm sixth level cultivator kill a Golden Core Realm third level ancestor in a head-on confrontation!"

Zeng Jin's expression was extremely complicated. He felt reluctant to let his ancestor die, but the thought that if his ancestor didn't die, he would have to kill him, calmed him down considerably.

Li Yunjing waved his hand dismissively at their flattery and said calmly, "Qiu Wuhen is dead. Should we go back and fight our way back, or rejoin the main force?"

Liao Wanqing and Zeng Jin exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We'll listen to Brother Li (Fellow Daoist Li)!"

Now, Li Yunjing's prowess has completely won over the two of them.

In their minds, Li Yunjing was no different from someone at the Golden Core stage!
Liao Wanqing's gaze towards Li Yunjing was particularly intense, almost to the point of being drooling.

Such a talented prodigy is simply the kind of Daoist partner that all the proud daughters of heaven dream of!
Unfortunately, through exchanges with some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," Li Yunjing also became known as a dashing and romantic figure within the sect.

Liao Wanqing was quite disappointed by her ambiguous relationships with some of the true female disciples.

Of course, it was just a little disappointing!

If a man is capable, then having affairs isn't a flaw, but rather a skill.

Liao Wanqing had already come up with countless reasons in her mind for Li Yunjing.

"Yes! The people of the Autumn Leaf Sword Sect should have been executed without mercy after they surrendered and then rebelled again!"

Li Yunjing nodded, looked into the distance, and said coldly, "However, these people don't have many resources, and with so many of them, killing them one by one would be a waste of time."

"What I mean is that we should join forces with the main army and destroy each local dojo as they go!"

Li Yunjing had a vague feeling that the war in the East China Sea should be coming to an end soon.

He must seize the last opportunity to gain more resources.

Li Yunjing is currently experiencing a bottleneck period!

The bottleneck is not in comprehending the Tao, but in resources!
Lack of resources hindered Li Yunjing's development!

He needs more high-grade spirit stones and more top-tier auxiliary pills!
Within a limited timeframe, Li Yunjing must become stronger to cope with future events.

"Alright! We'll all listen to Brother Li (Fellow Daoist Li)!"

Unsurprisingly, Liao Wanqing and Zeng Jin had no reason to object.

The remnants of the "Autumn Leaf Sword Sect" no longer had many resources left.

As for the mineral veins at the mountain gate, they cannot be mined out in a short time.

Li Yunjing gathered the main force and reported it up. In a few days, the "East China Sea Alliance" would send a part of its troops to occupy "Autumn Leaf Island".

As key contributors to the capture of "Autumn Leaf Island," Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing naturally received a further reward.

In the future, it's even possible that they might receive a long-term dividend from "Akihabara Island".

"Let's go! Let's regroup with the main force!"

Li Yunjing nodded, turned around and stepped onto the "Qingyun Boat," with Liao Wanqing and Zeng Jin following closely behind.

The "Azure Cloud Boat" took off again, continuing its flight towards the coordinates given by Elder Yu Yuanhua.

After traveling at full speed for three hours, when the "Azure Cloud Boat" arrived at the meeting place, it saw a fierce battle taking place ahead. Sword energy crisscrossed, blades flashed, and magical weapons bombarded each other, making for an extremely intense scene.

Looking around and seeing that his side had the upper hand, Li Yunjing didn't care which faction the enemy came from. He sneered and said, "Now, it's your turn!"

The "Azure Cloud Boat" streaked across the sky like a bolt of azure lightning, hurtling straight into the battlefield.

Li Yunjing's gaze quickly locked onto several enemy Foundation Establishment Realm experts. His first target was these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators with some strength!
