The first step in cultivating the Enigmatic Spirit Eye is to open the 'Phantom Spirit Meridians' in the eyes.
There are a total of eighty-one Phantom Spirit Meridians, each with its own shape, intersecting and overlapping with one another. The order and speed of opening them are extremely important.
When Li Tianming started his cultivation path and attempted to open the first Phantom Spirit Meridian, he failed immediately.
The beast essence pierced into his eyeball, causing it to bleed, and the pain was unbearable.
"Is this a cultivation technique for humans?"
He couldn't help but doubt it.
The Enigmatic Spirit Eye has thousands of words of cultivation techniques, but after just one line, he was already in excruciating pain. He didn't even want to think about the rest.
Moreover, his left eye was now in severe pain, and he couldn't bear to continue cultivating. If this continued, he would likely go blind.
He was quite resilient and tried with his right eye, but he almost exploded his own eye, causing him to shudder in pain. The pain in his eyes was indeed terrifying.
"To open eighty-one Phantom Spirit Meridians, while also considering the order, intersection, and speed, all in one go, is this a joke?"
Li Tianming truly felt the saying: it's not that he wasn't trying hard enough, but that his talent was limited.
Why did the owner of this spirit core believe he could inherit his legacy and guide him here?
Li Tianming was certain that he couldn't even take the first step in cultivating this Divine Soul Heavenly Book. This was simply not something a human could cultivate.
"I thought I had obtained an ultimate cultivation technique." He felt a bit depressed.
Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly noticed his left arm, which was wrapped in bandages.
"How could I forget this eye!"
He suddenly realized that his original eyes lacked the talent, but the eye on the palm of his dark left arm was extraordinary. It could see clearly even in the murky depths of a lake, indicating that this eye might be the one drawn by some mysterious force!
Of course, that eye was also Li Tianming's.
He decided to act immediately, guiding the beast essence into the third eye on his palm. He continued to be cautious, but what happened next made him want to laugh and cry.
"Indeed, in the face of absolute talent, effort is a joke."
The cultivation technique that was impossible with his original eyes was like a landslide with the third eye. It was as smooth as a fish in water. He hadn't even familiarized himself with the subsequent techniques, but the process of opening the Phantom Spirit Meridians was already second nature to him. He felt that even if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't make a mistake.
The entire process was smooth and natural. He looked down at his eye and could clearly see the meridians of the Phantom Spirit Meridians forming. One eye had become a cultivation system, just like a human body.
Li Tianming had only six beast meridians opened in his body, but this tiny eye already had eighty-one Phantom Spirit Meridians. Although each meridian was small, they were extremely fine and resilient, like the veins of a leaf, completely transforming the eye. It was like giving a strong man a sharp weapon.
This analogy was vivid. Li Tianming's original eyes were like two infants; even with the best beast weapons, they were useless. But the third eye was like a strong man. Now, with the weapon and cultivation method, this strong man and weapon combination would only become stronger.
Successfully opening the Phantom Spirit Meridians, the next step was to cultivate the techniques of the Enigmatic Spirit Eye, gradually integrating its characteristics into the Phantom Spirit Meridians. Then, through the Phantom Spirit Meridians and the Enigmatic Spirit Eye, the power would be unleashed through his gaze and vision, affecting the enemy.
"This left arm is truly incredible." Li Tianming himself felt that his left arm was like a monster. During the process of opening the Phantom Spirit Meridians, he made mistakes and even injured the eye, but he felt it heal at an incredibly fast speed. This likely indicated that the dark arm was not only hard but also had a strong regenerative ability.
"There are still many mysteries about me. The ancient chaotic giant beast companion, the dark arm, and now this spirit core."
These mysteries, he wanted to explore and understand. It felt like this might be his greatest mission in life.
In the following days, he focused entirely on cultivating the Enigmatic Spirit Eye, while Little Yellow Chicken fully refined the divine source.
Five days later, Li Tianming had made some progress. He felt that his Enigmatic Spirit Eye was now capable of confusing opponents, just like a **-type beastmaster.
This would make the dark arm even more helpful in battle.
The Enigmatic Spirit Eye, **-type immense strength, steel shield... and more, needed to be explored.
"Success!" On that day, a voice of surprise came from a flame in the secret room. The flame then dissipated, and a terrifying aura spread out.
Li Tianming was excited. The current appearance of Little Yellow Chicken was too cute and silly, with no killing power. If it could return to its phoenix form, that would be impressive.
The flame disappeared.
Under Li Tianming's eager gaze, a tender yellow chick appeared again.
"Damn!" Li Tianming was speechless. He looked at the almost unchanged Little Yellow Chicken and said, "Are you sure you evolved successfully? Why do you still look so wretched?"
"Brat, try saying that again? Is evolution judged by appearance?" Little Yellow Chicken said irritably.
"Then what? I heard they all become more handsome and powerful. What are you, still a chicken?" Li Tianming sneered.
"Short-sighted, judging by appearance, low-minded!" Little Yellow Chicken crossed its wings and scolded him three times.
Actually, Li Tianming noticed that up close, the star points in its eyes had turned into six. Six star points indicated that it had indeed evolved successfully. Now, outsiders would see it as a sixth-stage companion beast, which was already a top-tier expert's companion beast.
"Li Tianming, you have no idea what my limits are. A mere low-grade divine source can only unlock a tiny bit of my bloodline. To truly become a phoenix, I need countless divine sources. Of course, even in my current state, I am not comparable to so-called sixth-stage companion beasts." Little Yellow Chicken said proudly.
It looked like boasting, but it wasn't. Li Tianming completely believed in the greatness of the ancient chaotic giant beast, as it also proved his own future greatness.
The six star points in its eyes didn't mean much, just a natural manifestation of unlocking its bloodline, with no relation to its potential. However, it did prove that its bloodline ability was definitely stronger than before.
This was the most important role of the divine source. The Eternal Hell Phoenix never needed divine sources to evolve; it only needed them to recover.
"Come, let you feel the overwhelming power of my bloodline." Little Yellow Chicken said confidently.
"Sure!"
The first cultivation transformed Li Tianming into an Eternal Hell Body. The bloodline enhancement of Little Yellow Chicken would also transfer to him, a special talent of beastmasters and their companion beasts.
Their beast meridians and beast essence were one, and during cultivation, the beast meridians connected, and the beast essence exchanged and transformed, forming a whole.
In this process, Little Yellow Chicken's new bloodline power also transferred to Li Tianming. Li Tianming could feel his flesh and blood becoming stronger, and his talent improving dramatically. This was the effect of the divine source, gradually unlocking the power of the Eternal Hell Phoenix's bloodline.
The overwhelming bloodline power washed over Li Tianming like a waterfall, continuously enhancing his flesh and blood, propelling him toward the true ancient chaotic giant beast. This kind of transformation was something others could only dream of in their lifetimes.
The key was that this enhancement spread throughout his body. The burning power even activated the medicinal effects of the fire spirit ginseng and other spiritual essences they had consumed raw, drawing in a large amount of heavenly and earthy spiritual energy. They began to advance to the seventh beast meridian!
A day later, the seventh beast meridian was connected, and both Li Tianming and the chick entered the seventh stage of the beast meridian realm!
With their dragon-like thick beast meridians, flowing with magma-like Eternal Hell beast essence, they seemed like erupting volcanoes, especially Li Tianming, whose Enigmatic Spirit Eye had beast essence flowing through the Phantom Spirit Meridians, making it even more mysterious.
"Thus, the divine source was put to good use. You have evolved, my bloodline power has increased, and we both broke through to the seventh stage of the beast meridian realm. Even more, I have made some progress in cultivating the Enigmatic Spirit Eye..." Li Tianming knew that they had become comprehensively stronger compared to when they first entered.
In every direction, there were significant breakthroughs.
"Enigmatic Spirit Eye? Try it!" Little Yellow Chicken challenged.
"You?" Li Tianming chuckled. To be honest, he also wanted to test someone to see the effect of the Enigmatic Spirit Eye.
"Come on, trash." Little Yellow Chicken said disdainfully.
Li Tianming slightly tore a hole in his left glove, not exposing his left arm, but allowing the Enigmatic Spirit Eye to be visible.
He suddenly raised his hand, and the Enigmatic Spirit Eye met Little Yellow Chicken's eyes. Li Tianming followed the technique, channeling the beast essence to unleash the power of the Enigmatic Spirit Eye.
In that instant, Little Yellow Chicken's eyes wavered, and it seemed a bit dazed, taking a step back and staring blankly at Li Tianming.
This indicated that the Enigmatic Spirit Eye was effective. If used in battle, the opponent would likely expose many weaknesses.
Li Tianming smiled.
"What the hell, why did you turn into a naked hen!" The next moment, Little Yellow Chicken burst into laughter, rolling on the ground.
"What?" Li Tianming was stunned.
Little Yellow Chicken said that when he used the Enigmatic Spirit Eye, it turned into a naked hen?
How was that possible!
He wondered if the Enigmatic Spirit Eye could be used on himself, so he used his left hand to cast the Enigmatic Spirit Eye on himself.
Buzz!
He indeed felt a mental shock, and his vision became hazy.
In the next moment, in his daze, he saw his left hand transform into a seductive beauty, vaguely resembling Jiang Feilin, with a figure comparable to Liu Qing, and she was seducing him...
"Damn!"
Li Tianming trembled. What kind of skill was this? Confusing the opponent was fine, but why was it a moment of 'seduction'!
What kind of Enigmatic Spirit Eye, clearly a seduction technique.
"Ha ha!" Little Yellow Chicken laughed, rolling on the ground.
What a humiliation.
However, it had to be said that, for example, if Liu Qianyang saw himself turn into a naked beauty in battle, what would his reaction be? No matter what, this moment would be enough for Li Tianming to make a decisive move.
He thought it was time to retrieve the Yanhuang Order.
This time away from home was too long, and his mother must be worried.
