"Really don’t have it?"
The Ice and Fire Elder stared at the vertical eye on Ji Yuan’s forehead and asked.
...This old man has guarded this strange pool for decades, if not more than a hundred years; he must have discovered sothing. Since that’s the case, why not tell him the truth?
And it would be good to ask if there’s any side effect from seeing that purple vertical eye.
What if it’s a bad on for those who see it?
Just as Ji Yuan was thinking about asking, he saw the Ice and Fire Elder take out a Bright Mirror from his Storage Bag.
With the mirror facing Ji Yuan, he noticed in the Bright Mirror that a third eye had appeared on his forehead, exactly the purple vertical eye he’d seen earlier in the cold pool!
"No way, damn it!"
’How did this thing end up on !’ he thought.
The first sentence was an instinctive exclamation from Ji Yuan, and the second was what he thought to himself.
After saying both sentences, he instinctively took a step back, then hurriedly reached out to touch his forehead.
Before his hand could touch his forehead, he felt threatened sohow and instinctively blinked... his forehead’s vertical eye.
The feeling was like soone was reaching to stab his normal two eyes, and blinking was a completely instinctive reaction.
If this thing’s weird, how did it get on !
Ji Yuan, bewildered, exerted himself to gain control over the vertical eye on his forehead, wanting to see if he could get rid of this bizarre eye from himself.
If he couldn’t get rid of it, could he at least refine it and gain so special ability!
Initially, he used Divine Sense for a sweep but found no anomalies.
Then Ji Yuan mobilized the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian to try refining, but the purple vertical eye remained unresponsive.
Out of options.
He had no choice but to look at the Ice and Fire Elder, who had a faint smile, and promptly said, "Senior, what on earth is going on, you must have a way, right?"
"What is this vertical eye exactly, why did it appear on , can it be removed?"
The Ice and Fire Elder chuckled, "Didn’t you say you didn’t fall into the cold pool?"
"Why ask ? I also don’t know."
The Ice and Fire Elder shook his head as if he was going to leave.
Ji Yuan imdiately extended his left hand, grabbed his sleeve, and pointed at his own forehead with his right hand, saying:
"Senior, to be honest with you, I fell in. I had just refined my Flying Sword, suddenly heard a voice calling , and there was an identical purple vertical eye in the pool, and I sohow just walked in... and ended up like this."
"I rember your warning not to get into the water, but was afraid you’d bla , so I didn’t dare to tell the truth."
"How did you climb out?"
The Ice and Fire Elder finally responded.
"I... I don’t know how, I suddenly regained consciousness after who knows how long, and quickly crawled out of the cold pool, almost freezing to death inside."
"How deep did you go into the water?"
The Ice and Fire Elder asked again.
Ji Yuan bent down to look, then lowered his head and gestured at his knee level, "About this deep."
"Both feet in?"
"Yes, both."
Although Ji Yuan usually liked to conceal his abilities, he dared not hide anything at this mont.
With Hua Yaoyue not around, the only one he could turn to was the Ice and Fire Elder in front of him, especially since he’d been into the Ice and Fire Pool himself.
The Ice and Fire Elder raised his eyebrow, "Release your Divine Sense and let see... release it all."
These words made Ji Yuan faintly understand.
The purple vertical eye in the cold pool was likely related to the Divine Soul.
Others didn’t trigger the vertical eye because their Divine Soul wasn’t strong enough, or their Divine Soul hadn’t surpassed their current level... but he was different, his Divine Soul was strong, hence the purple vertical eye appeared.
He managed to shake off the trance due to his Divine Soul being far superior to other sa-tier cultivators and also practicing the Divine Soul Technique.
If this were true, following this logic the purple vertical eye needed a cultivator whose Divine Soul was just a bit stronger than ordinary ones; whether it needed possession or sothing else remained unknown.
"Yes."
Ji Yuan replied, then slowly released his Divine Sense.
Simultaneously he pondered whether to reveal it all.
Releasing it all would equal a cultivator at the initial stage of the Golden Core. Yet his external cultivation was only at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt... the Ice and Fire Elder shouldn’t be able to see through Hua Yaoyue’s Concealing Breath Spell.
Possessing Divine Sense akin to Golden Core Stage at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt would be too exaggerated.
While such thoughts flashed in Ji Yuan’s mind, he made up his mind.
He should keep sothing hidden here.
Releasing Divine Sense at the peak of Foundation Establishnt should be sufficient.
Externally releasing late-stage Foundation Establishnt wouldn’t be enough to support his ergence from the cold pool; releasing Golden Core Stage would be way too outrageous.
Therefore, after much deliberation, the peak of Foundation Establishnt is most suitable.
Ji Yuan released his Divine Sense, and the Ice and Fire Zhenren likewise released his Divine Sense, watching as Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense gradually reached the limit of mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, then naturally reached the range of late-stage Foundation Establishnt.
He thought "indeed," but said nothing more, just continued watching.
But as he noticed Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense had reached the limit of late-stage Foundation Establishnt, yet showed no sign of stopping, he finally displayed a hint of surprise.
And then... the peak of Foundation Establishnt!
At this point, Ji Yuan stopped extending his Divine Sense.
He blushed intensely, struggling to say, "Se... Senior, this is my limit."
