As soon as Chen Fan left the plantation, he went straight back to the Yin Dragon Pond.

It would take a normal person about two to three days to get to the pond from the foothill; however, it took the three of them less than four hours to complete the journey. As soon as Chen Fan was back, he cast a huge Mist Array and concealed the pond from the people following him.

He copied the Mountain Defensive Array that he used at the Yun Wu Mountain to the Yin Dragon Pond.

Fortunately, he had abundant Yin Crystals at the pond and with the Jade stones that he had acquired from members of the Yin Ghost Sect, he had enough material to construct seven consecutive arrays over seven peaks of the mountain. The seven arrays then formed a larger array that centered around the Yin Dragon Pond.

On the day that the Array was finally completed, not only were Master Wu and A’Xiu astonished by the feat, but also the members of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Seven mountain peaks surrounding the Yin Dragon Pond were all shrouded by a vast sea of impenetrable mist. The mist was made out of condensed Yin Qi, and it would make an ordinary person feel cold when he or she first walked into the mist. Soon the intruder would feel the life draining away from him until eventually, exhaustion claimed him. Inside the mist, none of the modern technology such as the cell phones would work since the powerful mist would able to distort the earth’s magnetic field.

Looking from a bird’s eye view, the Qi Mountain seemed to be wrapped by a white scarf.

“I will give you each a jade talisman, and it should be able to protect you from the mist. But be careful, once you lose the Jade talisman, no one will be able to save you.” Chen Fan scanned members of the Yin Ghost Sect and said seriously.

“Yes, Master Chen. ” Mu Hongshen and Yan Zhengze replied.

Once the array was completed, Chen Fan started to focus on his cultivation.

The moment he had obtained the black rock, he had made up his mind to complete the fourth level of the Void Mortal Refinement Art: Golden Eyes.

The Void Mortal Refinement Art was divided into five levels:

Ice Skin, Jade Bone, Silver Blood, Golden Eyes and Dao Body

The first three levels worked on one’s physical body, and the last level would completely transcend one’s mortal coil to the Connate Spirit.

However, the fourth level: Golden Eyes were completely different than the rest.

This was one form of Immortal Enlightenment.

For any kind of Dharma Spells, the cultivator would need to a small period of time to mentally prepare to muster up enough will to kick start the spell. Things happened with lightning speed on a battlefield and therefore time was in short supply.

This was why most cultivators valued Dharma Treasures so much. With a Dharma Treasure, one could cast a spell with just one simple thought.

Without the need to mentally prepare oneself to cast the spell, the cultivator would use the spells more effectively.

However, the Immortal Enlightenment would make the spells even more effective than using an artifact.

Immortal Enlightenment would make casting a spell an innate ability of the cultivator. Casting the spell would be as easy and intuitive as moving one’s arm. The state of Immortal Enlightenment would grow more powerful with the overall power of the cultivator. The improvement came in a much more natural and organic fas.h.i.+on than that of using the artifact.

Therefore, the state of Immortal Enlightenment was the reason the Ethereal Enlightenment level was so unique in its own way.

The Qi Refinement Level was the first level in the realm of Immortal Cultivation. The Qi Refinement Level could be further separated into three sub-levels: Foundation Establishment, Ethereal Enlightenment, and Divine Sea. Once a cultivator had completed all three sub-levels, he would have achieved the Connate Spirit level. The levels after the Connate Spirit that was Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Refinement, Dao Reunion and finally the Tribulation Transcendence.

The Ethereal Enlightenment level and the Divine Sea Levels were usually combined together and were called Immortal Ethereal Enlightenment.

The Ethereal Enlightenment was a powerful tool for the new cultivators. It would allow a cultivator at Foundation Establishment level to defend himself against cultivators who had reached Ethereal Enlightenment level.

That being said, only a handful of people from the most powerful sects, who had access to secret arts, could have achieved the Immortal Enlightenment during Foundation Establishment level.

“The Golden Eyes from The Sect of the Grand Dao was a very effective Immortal Enlightenment. Based on the numinous treasures used during cultivation, I can achieve various Pupil Arts.” Chen Fan said as he rubbed his chin.

The effect of Pupil Arts varied greatly, and if Chen Fan used the Fire Rock, he should be able to pull off the art called Li Fire Golden Eyes.

Of all the Immortal Enlightenment arts, the Li Fire Golden Eyes was one of the best. Once Chen Fan started to absorb more heavenly fire, he would be able to send rays of deadly fire into the void s.p.a.ce.

He remembered that there was a cultivator from the Sect of the Grand Dao who had mastered the Li Fire Golden Eyes. He was a Perfected Immortal who had attained Dao Reunion; unfortunately, his cultivation took a dark turn as he burned himself alive while practicing the Pupil Art. Although his body had perished into oblivion, his eyes had remained floating in the s.p.a.ce like two suns.

“I had thought that it would take me at least another half year to achieve the Golden Eyes, but with the Fire Rock and the eyeb.a.l.l.s of the Yin Snake, I might have a chance after all.”

Chen Fan finally made up his mind to make the break through.

First, he laid down another protective array at the entrance of the valley. Only A’Xiu and Master Wu were given Jade Talismans that granted them access to the inner valley.

Chen Fan dove to the bottom of the pond and sat cross-legged as he started to initiate the cultivation.

To cultivate extremely powerful Fire Immortal Enlightenment art, Chen Fan needed an extreme environment. At the bottom of the lake, the Yin Qi and the immense water pressure forced the fire element to fight back and during that process, granting Chen Fan even greater power.

As time pa.s.sed by, Chen Fan had been sitting under the lake for over two months.

Over the two month time, Chen Fan didn’t move an inch. He had used a special water art to absorb oxygen from the water and used the Essence Gathering Pill whenever he felt hungry.

As time went by, his eyes started to gleam. By the end of the two months, his pupils were s.h.i.+ny like polished gold.

“Master Chen stayed down there for two months already. It is longer than the last time he went into seclusion.”

A’Xiu murmured to herself.

Master Wu sat beside A’Xiu. Although he had mostly kept things to himself, he had noticed the girl’s infatuation.

Ever since Master Chen entered the pond to cultivate, she hadn’t left the pond for more than a minute. She was either practicing the fist forms or simply staring at the placid water.

“What a silly girl. Master Chen is never going to take an interest in mortals like us.” Master Wu lamented in his mind.
