Swallowed Star

On the seventh floor of Wu Qi Tower was an ice-cold world. A nearly transparent ice mountain was close in front of Luo Feng.

“The seventh floor!” Luo Feng was excited. “There are nine floors in Wu Qi Tower in total. The first eight floors are the tests, and if I can get to the ninth floor, I’ll succeed!”

The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more Luo Feng was convinced that there was a huge secret hidden on the ninth floor of Wu Qi Tower!

“There are only two hazards left. The one on the seventh and the eighth floor.”

Luo Feng looked around warily. No matter how powerful he was, he needed to be cautious. The closer he got to approaching the final victory, the more cautious he needed to be.

Hua!

Space ripples spread in the sky where cold air was spreading, and a giant single eye appeared.

“A Godly Eye?” Luo Feng was dazed.

The third floor featured the final deathtrap on Wu Qi Tower. It had the same godly eye, which produced a powerful “mind shock.”

“Why does the seventh floor have a godly eye as well? Is it also a mind shock?” Luo Feng was hesitant. “But it must be the same as the third floor. There should at least be something different.”

Weng!

The godly eye gave out a blurry golden light, covering Luo Feng.

“Soldier Milky Way.” The ancient voice was echoing in Luo Feng’s ears. “If you pass the test of the godly eye, you’ll enter the eighth floor of Wu Qi Tower, which will be your final test in Wu Qi Tower.”

The ancient voice faded.

Hong!

The blurry golden light gave out a forceful “mind shock,” irritating Luo Feng. It was indeed a mental shock as powerful as the one on the third floor of Wu Qi Tower when the test there had ended.

“Mind shock?” Luo Feng looked up at the godly eye. He had to take it directly without running away.

It was invisible, so there was no way he could hide from it. He had to resist it directly—mind versus mind!

“Why does the seventh floor still have a mind shock?” Luo Feng was perplexed. Then he stopped thinking and tried to fight that mental shock with all his power.

******

The four leaders stared at the screen.

“That soldier Milky Way’s mind is very strong, so it should be easy for him to pass the seventh floor.” The voice of the towering leader was rumbling. “Let’s see how much he can learn from the ‘Godly Eye Technique.'”

“Godly Eye Technique was created by Majesty of Godly King,” said the black mist leader. “It’s a special technique, and in the World of Jin, only the special ones can be sealed. Those that have special contributions and those with great potential can be bestowed.”

“Okay, six soldiers made it to the seventh floor of Wu Qi Tower. Five of them failed, and one of them succeeded and made it to the eighth floor. The worst of them didn’t even finish the first volume, and the best finished the third volume.”

“Let’s see how many volumes this Milky Way can learn!”

******

Luo Feng didn’t know that; he was fighting the mind shock using all his strength. Sometimes, he looked at the godly eye in the sky, and sometimes, he looked at the nearly transparent ice mountain around him.

I’m just supposed to fight the mind shock like this? Luo Feng thought. What’s the limit of this godly eye?

Even though Luo Feng had strong willpower, everything had its limits. If that godly eye attack went beyond his limit, he would pass out and be transported out.

It’s a great chance to sharpen my willpower, though, thought Luo Feng. There are eight levels of hazards in Wu Qi Tower. I don’t think the seventh floor will stop me.

Luo Feng kept resisting it. The blurry golden light covered everything below. Luo Feng looked as if he were wearing a golden cloth.

The mind shock was getting more and more powerful, and it reached the level of the limit of a true god in no time. But that was nothing to Luo Feng.

“Huh?” Luo Feng glanced at the ice mountain. “What’s that?”

On the surface of the ice mountain, ancient characters appeared. They were all characters from the ancient civilization, and they covered the mountain. The characters were from the first volume of Godly Eye Technique!

“Godly Eye Technique?” Luo Feng was exhilarated after reading the first line. “Haha! All the floors after the third level have prizes. Although there are hazards as well, there are lots of prizes. The seventh floor gives techniques directly!”

Secret techniques were different from techniques. Techniques at the universe-knight level didn’t mean anything to universe masters, and with great beings becoming more powerful, they needed to create techniques that were suitable for them. Those techniques at a lower level didn’t help them at all.

However, secret techniques were different. Duan Mie, Dong Hua, and Undying River were all secret techniques, and they were universally useful. A powerful secret technique like Undying River could certainly boost someone’s power.

Secret techniques were invaluable even in the ancient civilization. Luo Feng had obtained a whole set of Duan Mie before, but under the restrictions of the original mind, he had only been able to read the first three volumes. However, once someone became a true god of void space, he would be able to read the latter material of Duan Mie. While someone was only a universe master or a true god, Duan Mie could help them trump many godly power burning techniques, and it would help them remain at an advantage after they reached a higher level. This advantage would remain.

In the World of Jin, only the first several levels of godly power burning techniques were spread.

******

“I got a secret technique!” Luo Feng said, elated. “Let me see which secret technique it is. Does Duan Dong River have it also?”

Duan Dong River only had one inheritor for each generation. However, His Majesty the Godly King had built an entire superpower. Perhaps those techniques owned by His Majesty the Godly King were not owned by Duan Dong River.

“Huh?” Luo Feng looked carefully.

As for the mental shock, it was nothing to Luo Feng.

“Godly Eye Technique is a technique for the mind!” Luo Feng was overjoyed.

A great gain! A great chance! He had the Duan Dong River inheritance, and he was also familiar with the ancient civilization, so he knew exactly how important Godly Eye Technique was.

Godly Eye Technique was a secret technique using the mind! Perhaps the ancestral teachers from Duan Dong River had been able to create three or four volumes, but if the ancestral teachers were proficient in it, they wouldn’t have been able to create them at an exceptional level. Three or four volumes were nothing to a powerful group or an inheritance. Only those that were complete—those techniques that were exceptional across the entire ancient civilization—were useful. Like Duan Mie, Dong Hua, and Undying River, for example.

Luo Feng read the introduction of the first volume of Godly Eye Technique

Willpower. Every great being has willpower. Some have stronger willpower, while others have weaker willpower! When a weak being dies, everything will go away. However, when a great being dies, his willpower will remain. A drop of blood or scales. All of them will contain great mental pressure.

When great beings are still alive, they will fight each other, and when the minds fight each other, great beings can toy with their enemies’ heads. If the willpower between the two competitors is too large, the stronger one could put the weaker one into a coma, rendering him powerless.

Luo Feng nodded his head. A great being had a soul, a consciousness, and willpower! If their souls were destroyed, they would be dead forever!

As for one’s consciousness, it was built on the soul. The more powerful someone’s soul was, the greater his consciousness would be. When two great beings fought each other, if there was a huge gap of consciousness between them—like between true gods and universe knights—the stronger could crush the weaker’s soul easily!

However, willpower was different! Willpower wasn’t correlated with souls. Even if someone had a weak soul and a weak consciousness, he could still possess mighty willpower!

When someone was weak, willpower didn’t help much. The best it could do would be to resist illusions. And when someone died, his willpower would dissipate and be rendered useless. However, when someone became a true god, a true god of void space, or even more superior, willpower would become of great use.

Even when a supreme being died, his willpower would remain, such as in the drop of godly blood Luo Feng had. However, even in the ancient civilization, some great beings only knew how to use willpower through primitive means; they didn’t know how to utilize it in a more flexible way.

Willpower was not material. So how could one use it?

Only supreme beings who comprehended willpower could create some techniques based on willpower. They were not like burning power techniques. Even true gods of void space could comprehend the first level of a godly power burning technique. As for a willpower technique, even eternal true gods couldn’t comprehend them. Only those who mastered chaos laws could comprehend them.

Godly Eye Technique was a secret technique created by His Majesty the Godly King.

******

“Only those whose willpower has reached the level of true gods of void space can practice Godly Eye Technique? Huh? It’s kind of like practicing hearts.”

Luo Feng was reading the pondering the first volume of Godly Eye Technique. Other than some of the practice guides of secret techniques, there were also guides on how to improve one’s willpower. Based on the material, one needed to focus on his heart, analyze it, learn more about it, and keep improving oneself.

******

The godly eye kept emanating blurry golden light, and the “willpower shock” inside kept being strengthened. It had already surpassed the limit true god level.

There was a huge gap between limit true gods and true gods of void space. However, Luo Feng couldn’t still easily resist it.

Characters kept appearing on the ice mountain, yet this was still the first volume. Apparently, it was a long volume. Then characters stopped showing up, and the first volume of Godly Eye Technique was shown on the ice mountain in its entirety.

“It took a long time to show only the first volume. If someone’s willpower isn’t stronger than limit true gods, he might not be able to read the first volume.” Luo Feng sighed.

He saw another ice mountain in the distance, and characters began to appear on its surface as well. “Oh! The second volume of Godly Eye Technique!”

Luo Feng was amazed and began to memorize them.
