Chapter 9: The Revolving Eyes

  A burst of celestial music, the last page flashing with golden characters, transformed into a seven-colored bridge, rushing in an orderly manner from the book to the center of Xiaodou's eyebrows!

  At this time, Xiaodou was surprised to find that his mind seemed to have a lot more things, all about the Wheel of Reincarnation, putting them in a corner of his mind and then bringing out the first one, carefully understanding it bit by bit.

  "Hmm, this reincarnation eye is interesting. No need to think about it, just let those golden characters run in my body and I can cultivate it. Just... just a short while ago, Xiaodou's nearly ten years of innate divine power was completely depleted, consumed cleanly. When she opened her eyes, a blue light flashed by, and wasn't that... Xiaodou's face revealed a helpless bitter smile:"

  "Boss, this is too difficult to practice! They say it's the Seven-Layered Cycle Eye, but in reality, each layer has 1,400 small layers that need to be broken through. Heaven! My ten years of cultivation haven't even allowed me to break through a single passageway, how can I possibly practice this?!"

  Leng Han Ming sneered and said with a light smile: "I knew it long ago, you silly little bean, thinking that the immortal's technique is so easy to practice. Don't waste words, take this elixir and quickly recover your magic power. Then don't activate the Wheel of Reincarnation for now, I'll use this 10,000-year-old Sacred Spirit Milk to help you!"

  Xiao Dou obediently took the medicine and recovered his spiritual power, which normally would take three hours of meditation to recover!

  The cold and arrogant young master pressed down on his head, pouring the bottle of priceless elixir that countless cultivators dreamed of obtaining into Xiaodou's brow as if it were worthless!

  The Holy Spirit's milk is the most pure and unblemished natural product of heaven and earth, with each drop requiring a million years of nourishment from the heavenly pool!

  A bottle? This majestic and pure power of nature directly surged into a person's body, heavens! If this wasn't the required spiritual energy for the Wheel of Rebirth, it would be an astronomical number, just half a drop could burst the body of a deeply cultivated immortal cultivator, and yet this foolishly lucky little bean not only fully absorbed a bottle of Ten Thousand Year Sacred Spirit Milk, but also wasted a large pile of Cold Young Master's heavenly treasures, such as Yaochi Snow Lotus, Six Turn Golden Elixir, Ancient Divine Beast Inner Elixir...

  At the moment when Leng Da was about to die of heartbreak, Xiao Dou finally exclaimed with joy: "Boss, the 1,400 small layers have finally broken through one layer!"

  Leng Han Ming's face twisted into a bitter smile as he said, "I hope I won't be scolded to death by my old man. Hey, Xiao Dou, quickly try it out and see what kind of effect it has, is it fierce or not?"

  Two children cleaned up and rushed out of the house, only to see Xiaodou facing a five-meter-high natural boulder. The pupils of his eyes suddenly turned blue, and six wave patterns emerged from the depths of his eyes. At that moment, Xiaodou's body involuntarily exuded an aura of disdain for the world. The handsome blue wave pattern in his eyes condensed into a scorching power... Then... then there was no reaction at all?

  "My goodness!" The usually elegant and refined Leng Hanming was also shocked, and he even blurted out a curse, jumping up and down as he loudly exclaimed:

  "With such an arrogant gaze, yet having no effect at all, is that so?"

  Xiao Dou's face returned to its usual silly expression, and he ran over with his head down, saying very seriously:

  "Boss, it's not like there's no effect at all. Although the magic power is wasted faster than I can eat, after using it, everything that enters my eyes slows down! Just now, I could see the flow of the wind! Now, Good Water Fairy will definitely be happy! Boss, you're really too good to me!"

  Leng Han Ming's face relaxed into a big smile: "Alright, from now on you're my trump card. If I ever encounter a bad guy who's too fast for me to handle, you can step in and help out. Who knows, after a few hundred years, your little bean will soar to great heights!"

  Xiao Dou rubbed his hands together happily and laughed: "What's with the hundreds of years? Xiao Dou doesn't understand, all he knows is that following Lao Dai will have a lot of delicious food!"

  "You little food bucket!" Leng Hanming immediately scolded: "You're really a big eater, compared to Lei Zhan's appetite, you've actually made him vomit blood! Heaven! I'm worried to death about raising you as my younger brother. It's also strange that you eat so much but have such a good figure, slightly muscular and slender, handsome... I'm so envious, how hateful!"

  Xiao Dou nodded and said: "This good Water Fairy has already said it, maybe we are because of practicing the Holy Battle Law, Lao Da you are smart, no need to practice all the time, so eat less. Xiao Dou is stupid, needs to practice every day, every moment, so needs to eat more. The good Water Fairy also told me to continue practicing, she found that my body is several tens of times stronger than ordinary people, even if I fall from this cliff, I won't die! Lao Da, this Holy Battle Law is so good, you should practice it too!"

  Leng Han Ming frowned and said, "Actually, I also know that. But you're just a foolish kid who spends all day practicing swordplay and spear techniques. As for me, I will inherit an important position in the sect in the future, so I must be mindful of my words and actions, as well as maintain a stable image in front of everyone. Moreover, with my innate talent and excellent aptitude, learning endless magical arts is my true path to immortality. This far surpasses your desperate attempts to master the Holy Battle Technique!"

  Xiao Dou smiled foolishly: "That's right, good Water Fairy said that you are the best of our generation, let me learn from you more. However, she also encouraged me that as long as I work hard and in the right direction, I will have a future too! Only then can I stand beside the boss and fight together!"

  Leng Han's surprised and amused laughter sounded: "Shui Xian? This girl has such a far-sighted gaze, she's truly a remarkable person. I'll have to make friends with her when I have the time. However, whether or not I'm the most exceptional one among our generation is still uncertain, it depends on the talents of the other eight mountain peaks. Even among the entry-level disciples of our own mountain peak, I'm only ranked third!"

  Xiao Dou frowned and said: "No way, Big Brother, aren't you invincible? Who here can beat you? And third place is even more exaggerated. Those two bad guys who popped up, let's go beat them!"

  "Little Bean, don't look at our current strength. After we leave here and inherit our respective treasures, the two of them... that girl with the two braids shaped like sheep horns, Xiao Xueqi, her family background is even more profound than the son of the Zhèn Central Peak sect's leader. As for how, I'd rather not say. And then there's that big black guy, Lei Zhan, his family's treasure, the world's seventh flying sword - Lei Nu Shen Jian. With that divine sword, I wouldn't stand a chance!"

  Xiao Dou said with an angry face: "Lei Zhan this black big guy, is sick. He has been fighting with us for so many years, every time he loses, and every time he makes excuses, saying we relied on this, relied on that. If one day he uses the divine sword, I will also scold him like this!"

  "Good brother, this is not important. I want to remind you of something: the Wheel of Rebirth, except for Shui Xian, no one else can know about it from now on. As for your future path, I'm really worried. You don't have any spiritual materials, artifacts, treasures, elixirs, or sacred herbs... nothing at all. And the Wheel of Rebirth requires special energy from heaven and earth to further strengthen it in order to succeed. But wanting to fill this bottomless pit is impossible, not even for ten gods. Otherwise, even if the secret manual was rare, there wouldn't be just a few people practicing this high-level cultivation method. So, I advise you to focus on cultivating other methods instead. When you grow up, based on your innate divine abilities, I'll ask my old man to get you some treasures, and we can conquer the world together! Maybe when your divine powers are fully developed, you'll have another chance at success... or maybe not!"

  Xiao Dou's face was filled with sadness as he murmured: "Boss, is it really like what Hua Sheng said? Are we going to be separated? I'm so angry, why am I so stupid and can't follow you to learn magic? It's not fair! Actually, I don't feel anything, but this feeling of separation makes me hate it!"

  "Come on, Xiaodou! There's no need to be sentimental. Heaven has always been fair. As long as you play to your strengths, you'll naturally become a great talent and achieve great things. Go for it!"

  The two children joined hands in front of the cliff, shouting into the wind together, the purest friendship, at that moment, solidified forever.

  It's been almost ten years since such a scene came to this mountain, and it's not many. Xiaodou has always been practicing the Xiantian Divine Technique in silence, with the help of seven bottles of Dan medicine, sixty or more Qi-increasing pills from Shuixian, Leng Hanming, and the sect's distribution, the first layer of Xiantian Divine Technique finally makes some sense!

  After finishing his cultivation, he always practiced the Holy Battle Technique with bitter and hard punches and kicks. The benefits of practicing this are not small, let alone his strength increased by more than a dozen times, even his body is much stronger than ordinary people!

  But the real reason Xiaodou practiced diligently was that if he didn't practice this sacred martial art for a day, the cold illness he had suffered from since childhood would be blown by the cold wind on the mountain, making his whole body ache, especially in winter, it was unbearable!

  But he never told anyone about this reason, and the reason was very simple. Now, he understood a little bit of the horror of the Xianxia world!

  What is known as cultivating immortality is actually just the path that one in a thousand, or one in ten thousand, of the numerous individuals in the mortal world must take. On this path, going against heaven and practicing cultivation, what method can guarantee success? With so many people, there are only a few places with spiritual energy, and you fight and kill each other for just a bit of spiritual grass, materials and nothing more!

  The greater good is heartless; you're already foolish enough, if you continue to trouble Shuixian, even he himself will be ashamed to death.

  But when facing Cold Huan, Xiao Dou always silently gazes at his back, that is something he can't see, a hurdle he can't cross. Even Xiao Dou can't clearly see him, what kind of Big Brother is he?

  He is so good to himself, without considering any consequences or gains and losses. Similarly, he is extremely good to the younger brothers around him, as if he were the sun in the sky, constantly illuminating the dark hearts of those around him. His goodness is unrealistic, making Xiaodou feel unreal, unlike Shuixian who always scolds him, teaches him, and forces him to study, which makes him feel more at ease and comfortable in his heart.

  When he was a young boy, there were only two people who truly spoke to Xiaodou from the heart. He cherished his feelings for these two people extremely, because they were all he had!

  For these two feelings, he didn't hesitate at all and resolutely gave up the **he should have understood**, the joy of heaven, subconsciously rejecting his own emotions. Because every cultivator knows that the cultivation speed of a child's body is one or two percent faster than that of ordinary people, and even special skills are over three percent!

  Moreover, if one's innate divine abilities were to be passed down through marriage, it would be absolutely impossible to cultivate the Fourth Heaven. In the past, when I was young, I thought that the rumors among my peers were just a joke, but now I understand a bit more. Who would willingly spend decades or even hundreds of years of their best life not falling in love? If one becomes old and worn out from cultivating immortality, wouldn't it be just a dream to think about loving again? But I'm not afraid, thinking that I inexplicably obtained an extreme-grade elixir that can preserve my youth, and also have the lifespan of three lifetimes. Every time I think about how my peers collectively shunned me for ten years because of this matter, I sigh with a bitter smile. There must be losses to accompany gains!
