114 God and devil eyes (1/2)
Bai Yun slept through the night and woke up only at noon the next day. Once he was done, Bai Yun chose not to go back and watch the rest of the clan tournament and instead chose to sit down and merge with the rest of the alchemy inheritance. Day by day Bai Yun's skill in the alchemy paths rose by leaps and bounds. As the alchemy inheritance contained the skills and experience covered by the God of Alchemy, it was as if Bai Yun had made millions of low levels pills every day.
Soon the clan tournament came to an end. When the tournament ended, the prizes for the winners were distributed. But Bai Yun did not bother to go and collect them. They were deposited into Bai Yun's account and he could withdraw them whenever he wanted. Of course, as the prize of a clan tournament, these weren't too important. The prizes were things that Bai Yun could get any time he wished through his great grandfather or parents.
The only thing that was truly valuable was the opportunity to go to the clan treasury and collect one treasure that was given to the winners. That one treasure would most likely be something that Bai Yun would not be able to get even with his connections.
When the inquiry came as to when Bai Yun would go to the treasury, Bai Yun said that he would go after his eyes had healed. The delay was only a few days and as the direct descendant of a grand elder, no one would care if Bai Yun was a few days late in collecting his prize. So the others went to the treasury to collect their prizes, while Bai Yun waited for his eyes to heal. After all, only with the god sense could he tame something that he otherwise wouldn't be able to with his god sense.
Soon four more days passed. Bai Yun could feel that his new eyes were growing more and more powerful. Soon they would awaken.
Bai Yun was sitting in a large hall in his mansion. Bai Mu, Bai Tianji, Xiao Mei-er, and old Hai were all standing around him. They were the only ones who knew Bai Yun was awakening an innate ability. They had noticed that Bai Yun's eyes would awaken any moment now and were eagerly waiting.
Bai Yun slowly felt the power growing in his eyes. He could feel the power adding the finishing touches to his new eyes.
The moment his eyes were completed, Bai Yun opened them. A bright purple golden light shone from his eyes, lighting up the whole room. A moment later the light disappeared and retreated back into his eyes. At the same time, a power ran through Bai Yun's body, helping him to break through from the eighth stage of qi condensation to the ninth stage of the qi condensation realm. This breakthrough was extremely stable and smooth, as it was triggered by Bai Yun's eyes.
When Bai Yun could see once again, he realized that his sight had improved by multiple times. He could see everything in front of him in much greater detail than before. Before his eyes mutated, he could see a fly a hundred yards from him only as a vague spot. Now he could clearly see the fly, and even the flapping of its wings. Not only that it was also as if the fly was beating his wings in slow motion. Everything was clearer and slower to Bai Yun.
Suddenly having a great improvement to his perception, Bai Yun was slightly disoriented. While it is possible to reach this level of sight with cultivation, it was a slow and gradual process. The sudden change in his sight was a bit difficult for Bai Yun to adjust to. It would probably take a few days before he could act as normal. And this improvement was before Bai Yun activated the ability in his eyes.
”Well.” An impatient Bai Tianji said. ”Let us see your ability.”
Bai Yun smiled when he heard Bai Tianji. When his eyes opened the knowledge about teh new powers had automatically appeared in Bai Yun's mind.
”Alright.” Bai Yun said. Then he triggered the innate ability of his eyes.
The next second Bai Yun's right eye lit up in a golden color. Bai Yun's right pupil then turned golden. At the same time, a calm and revered feeling originated from his right eye. It felt like a god looking down from above and inspecting the world before him.
At the same time, Bai Yun's left eye lit up with a purple color. His left pupil then turned purple. Unlike the right pupil, an unsettling feeling came from the left eye. It felt like it was the eye of a devil, forcing the world to bend to his will.
The people who were watching him all felt very weird when they saw Bai Yun's eyes. The dichotomy of the two powers made them feel wrong. But they could still feel the horrifying power and potential behind those eyes.
For a while, Bai Yun activated the ability and stared at them. Bai Yun slowly got used to the ability of his eyes. As he used them Bai Yun also understood more about the abilities of his eyes.
Suddenly Bai Yun's eyes turned back to black. The innate ability had come to an end.
”What happened?” Bai Mu asked. ”Why did you stop the ability after only a few seconds?”
”I can't use it anymore.” Bai Yun said. ”The energy that the ability use is too great. I can only manage it four seconds at full strength. And if use any of the special abilities of my eyes, it would only deplete my qi faster. Maybe I can use their abilities better when my cultivation increases.”
”Are you telling me you have abilities in eyes other than simply activating them?” Bai Mu asked.
”Yes.” BAi Yun replied. ” When I activate my innate ability my eyesight improves by a factor of a hundred. I can catch things that even people at much higher cultivation realms cannot. And at the same time, it is like time slows down. My reaction speed increases and I can even move faster than before.”
When they heard Bai Yuns description they were happy. The ability descripbed by Bai Yun seemd to be quite powerful.
”And you said that your eyes have even more powerful abilities.” Bai Tianji asked.
