107 New eyes (1/2)

Bai Yun returned to his consciousness. He had received the method for detoxifying Bai Ling-er from the God of Alchemy. Bai Yun took a look at his sea of consciousness. There, right next to the dagger he had received from the Assassin God, was a small and exquisite cauldron.

Bai Yun stared at the small cauldron. As he looked at it a complex feeling arose in his heart. He could tell from the final words of the God of Alchemy that there seemed to be a secret about his birth. A secret held specifically from him.

But Bai Yun decided to forget it. He would know it when the time is right.

With a sigh Bai Yun opened his eyes and stood up. But a moment later Bai Yun felt that there was something wrong. Even though he had opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything.

Bai Yun was stunned when he realized this. Just as he was wondering what was happening, a itchy feeling came from his eyes. Bai Yun touched his eyes, only to feel a liquid like substance stick to his fingers.

Suddenly the itch like feeling transformed into a biting pain. In seconds the pain shot up to levels Bai Yun had never felt before. Even with his incredible resistance, Bai Yun was unable to contain the pain. It was the most severe pain he had ever felt in his entire life.

Unable to withstand the pain Bai Yun finally screamed out loud.

A moment later the door to the room opened up and the man that came with Bai Tianji rushed in. ”What is going on?” He shouted out, but he stopped as soon as he entered. The moment he saw the sight inside the room he was stunned.

Bai Yun was sitting in the middle of the room kneeled over. He was clutching at his eyes. But from between his fingers a black liquid was oozing out. With horror the old man realized that the black liquid was Bai Yun's eyes!

The old man came to Bai Yun's side and touched his shoulder and said ”Let me take a look.”

But before he could say anything else, a horrifying force came out of Bai Yun's body and pushed the old man away. The old man flew through the air and crashed through a few walls of the mansion before he came to a stop. When the old man stabilized himself, he was stunned. He had an extremely high cultivation base and yet he had been sent flying by Bai Yun. Not only that, when he looked down at his hand, but he also realized that his palm had been burned back.

He looked back at Bai Yun and got the second shock of the day. Bai Yun was no longer screaming. But he was floating in the middle of the room. A giant purple and gold colored sphere was rapidly rotating around him. The ceiling and the floor that was inside the sphere had long since disappeared. Thankfully the rooms in the mansion were all very large. Else the entire room would have been destroyed.

The old man quickly ran up to the sphere and gently tried to press on to the sphere, but realized that it would not budge. Not only that, but his hand was also signed by the power.

But the situation did not last for long. In front of his eyes, the purple and gold sphere slowly started to contract. As he watched, the purple and gold colored sphere rapidly contract and disappear into Bai Yun's eyes.

For a moment the old man stood there not knowing what to do. He was old friends with Bai Tianji and knew about Bai Yun, and also how much Bai Tianji cared about Bai Yun. The old man then walked up to Bai Yun, who was kneeling on the ground by now and asked. ”Are you alright?”

Bai Yun suddenly stood up and raised a hand to stop the old man from approaching. The old man remembered the terrifying power from just before that blasted him out when he touched Bai You and held his hand. His palm still hadn't recovered from the burn, even after he took a medicinal pill.

Bai Yun touched his face. He could sense two new eyeballs in the place of his eyes. His previous eyes had melted away, and two new eyes had grown in its place. But even after Bai Yun opened his eyes, he still couldn't see anything.

As Bai Yun slowly studied the new eyes of his with his perception, he realized that he felt a very familiar power coming from them. With a start, he realized that the power he felt was the new power that was born of the merging of the god sense and the power of the devil.

Bai Yun quickly turned his senses to his sea of consciousness. But he could no longer sense the mixed power there.

After a moment Bai Yun understood what had happened. After he sealed the new power, it must have wandered aimlessly in the sea of consciousness. And it must have then fallen into his eyes and bonded with it. If Bai Yun had been awake, he would have bonded the power to his soul. But he wasn't and things took a weird turn.

After the power bonded with his eyes, it caused some sort of transformation to happen to his eyes. Bai Yun's previous eyes were not powerful enough to withstand the strength of the new power and they were destroyed. But then the new power caused a new set of eyes to be grown.

As Bai Yun slowly probed his new eyes Bai Yun realized that the new power was still in the process of binding with them. The reason he could not see anything was that the new power still hasn't finished remaking his eyes. From the way the power was working, Bai Yun figured that it would take about two weeks before the new power was done remaking his eyes. Which means that he would be blind for the next two weeks.

As he looked closer, Bai Yun also found out another special thing about his eyes. The powers in each of his two eyes seemed to be slightly different. The power in his right eye seemed to be more geared towards that of the power of gods, while the power in his left eye was more geared towards that of the power of the devil. Bai Yun realized that when his eyes finally awoke, it was extremely likely that he would awaken two new powers.

But he would have to wait until his eye awoke to study both the abilities of his eyes as well as the new power born from the mix of the god sense and the power of the devil. At least temporarily he was unable to utilize them.
