Caspian had some understanding of what the nation’s official religion election encompassed and made some preparations for it. However, it was clear now that with such a precious magical item like the Thousand Cursed Mask, favonovel.com could do even more and exceed people’s expectations by leaps and bounds.
As favonovel.com was deep in thought, Caspian was also keeping time. They were quite close to the border between Middle and North Earlington currently. According to their usual speed, they would reach the capital of Earlington of Efrax in another four to five days.
“We’re going to be a little rushed for time,” mumbled Caspian.
He initially planned to finish cultivating the Eye of Insight technique when they arrived at the capital. However, it seems as though there would not be time for that. When they arrived, there would be many matters for them to deal with. Forget about cultivating, there might not even be time to enter the Earring of Echo. Right now, favonovel.com had all the materials favonovel.com needed to cultivate the Eye of Insight. So, after some thought, Caspian decided to start cultivating tonight. After all, cultivating the Eye of Insight was different from cultivating other techniques. It relied on resources from the outside world. The body merely played a supporting function, so favonovel.com did not need to worry even if favonovel.com was seen.
Caspian was sure that Maya would not peep on favonovel.com while favonovel.com cultivated, on the other hand, favonovel.com would look out for him. As expected, when favonovel.com brought up that favonovel.com wanted to finish cultivating the Eye of Insight before they arrived at the capital, Maya offered to keep guard and make sure that favonovel.com was not disturbed. Once favonovel.com prepared everything that favonovel.com needed for cultivation, Caspian took a deep breath in then suddenly punched down. The seven materials around favonovel.com instantly turned into fine powder under his punches. However, the fine powder did not scatter. Instead, they stayed in place and formed a small tornado about two feet high under the guidance of his spiritual Qi.
Caspian’s gaze turned solemn. He did not dare to let his attention slip by even a fraction. Even though the other ingredients were mostly prepared, favonovel.com only had one set of the key ingredients, orb lingzhi, and hemlock Everything would go to waste if favonovel.com failed.
Since favonovel.com was able to get his hands on the orb lingzhi at that time, favonovel.com would be able to cultivate the Eye of Insight even more powerfully. He quietly counted the number of spins of the tornado until it reached 77 before reaching out his hand as fast as lightning. He suddenly picked up a small bottle next to favonovel.com and removed the stopper then poured the thick liquid into the tornado.
The whirling tornado soon became liquid and the moonlight made it crystal clear as if it were fine jade. The first step was complete. It was now time to accurately keep time then toss the rest of the ingredients in one by one.
Caspian focused his attention and tossed in the precious ingredients one after another into the liquid whirling tornado. It slowly turned from a jade-like white to an amber color with a greenish tinge, before turning into a clear orange and gradually turning deep red. After around half an hour, his gaze turned serious. He grabbed the orb lingzhi beside favonovel.com and squeezed it hard. The orb lingzhi made a sound that sounded like a human cry at that moment. At the same time, the eyeball-shaped design protruded from the surface of the orb lingzhi. It looked like an eyeball was forcibly squeezed out as it fell into the liquid vortex. As the eyeball dropped in, the orb lingzhi in Caspian’s hand visibly shriveled up. In a couple of breaths, it turned into dust.
Caspian tossed the withered orb lingzhi away. Without blinking, favonovel.com watched the eyeball rising and falling in the whirlpool then squeezed his fingertip, sprinkling a drop of his blood on the eyeball.
As soon as the eyeball came into contact with the drop of blood, the eyeball quickly melted like snow in the hot sun and merged with the surrounding fluid. The spinning vortex turned dark red, just like fresh blood.
“The final step is next!” Caspian’s eyes shone brightly.
The most complicated step was squeezing the eyeball out of the orb lingzhi and dripping in his blood. Those two steps required a high precision in terms of timing and also the projection of the blood. It was clear that Caspian managed to achieve near perfection. Once a new eyeball shape began to condense in the center of the whirlpool, Caspian took the hemlock that favonovel.com prepared a while ago and tossed it in.
Buzz!
There was a shock. The surface of the hemlock gleamed with flames and lightning but it only lasted for a moment, then it disappeared along with the hemlock. In the next moment, an eye appeared in the middle of the whirlpool. The eye looked the same as Caspian’s eye, even down to the pupil. Caspian knew that favonovel.com was close to success.
There was just the final step left.
He flexed his fingers and reached out. The whirlpool instantly exploded apart. The pattern of the eyeball soared high above Caspian’s head and was about to disappear into the sky. At that moment, Caspian reached out his hand again and quickly drew a series of complicated runes with his fingers in the air.
Ding…
The sound of ringing metal seemed to ring out and the pattern of the rising eyeball froze. After a few seconds, the eyeball suddenly burst and turned into a red light that shot between Caspian’s brows and disappeared. At the same time, peace was restored to his surroundings. Caspian’s breathing calmed down. He sat cross-legged, experiencing the moment. He could sense that there was an extra force within his blood that favonovel.com could control as favonovel.com pleased.
After a moment’s meditation, Caspian flicked his fingers. A drop of blood shot out from his fingertip toward the tree not far from him. Caspian closed his eyes and focused his mind. The blood drop on the tree quivered slightly before it slowly turned into a tiny eyeball.
The eyeball slowly turned around like it was alive. Caspian could see everything before the huge tree clearly through the eyeball, as though favonovel.com stood at the tree.
If everything went according to plan, the ingredient that Caspian had was a 75-year-old orb lingzhi, it would be the extent of the Eye of Insight’s ability. However, Caspian got his hands on a 95-year-old orb lingzhi.
The difference of twenty years allowed Caspian to not only see but also hear! As long as Caspian focused his attention on the eyeball, favonovel.com could also hear the sounds within three meters of the eyeball. However, it was not very clear at a further distance or if the sound within range was quite soft. Even though there were limitations to his ability to hear, Caspian was not upset because it could be considered an unexpected bonus.
“Now that I have the Eye of Insight, I’m sure that not only can I predict my enemy’s advance, but also know his every move.” Right now, Caspian brimmed with confidence.
