Chapter 542 - 185: Huge Improvement (Part 4)
The smoke before him vanished.
[Spirit Casting Technique +3000]
Adding to the previous 1000 points, his Spirit Casting Technique now had a Skill Level of 4000.
Shen Bai took out the third Deceitful Object.
This Deceitful Object was a broken Eight Trigrams artifact.
Information appeared before his eyes.
[Copper Rust Bagua]
[Identification Progress: 0%]
[One strand of Evil Qi can be used for rapid identification]
"Eight Trigrams?" Shen Bai pondered for a moment.
If it was related to the Eight Trigrams, then it was likely connected to the Divination Skill.
Thinking of this, Shen Bai chose to identify it.
[Similar type of Divine Power detected. Convert to Divination Skill Skill Level?]
"Convert."
Shen Bai was already prioritizing leveling up his Divination Skill, so he converted it without hesitation.
[Divination Skill +1000]
The smoke before him disappeared.
"Now, there’s only one Deceitful Object left." Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt a sense of extravagance, having never experienced spending so much Evil Qi before.
When Shen Bai picked up the last Deceitful Object, Information floated in the air before him.
It was a stone-carved eye, about the size of a fist, sculpted entirely from stone.
The eye on it looked extremely bizarre.
A normal person’s pupil is round, but this eye’s pupil was vertical, like a snake’s.
After Shen Bai examined it for a moment, smoke appeared before him and condensed into text.
[Ghost Eye]
[Identification Progress: 0%]
[One strand of Evil Qi can be used for rapid identification]
Shen Bai stroked his chin and thought, ’I really can’t guess what kind of Divine Power this is.’
Although he couldn’t guess, that didn’t stop Shen Bai from identifying it.
With that thought, another strand of Evil Qi vanished.
With the disappearance of the Evil Qi, Shen Bai was now left with only nineteen strands.
After the Evil Qi vanished, the text before him dissolved into smoke. It swirled and twisted in the void before finally condensing into new words.
[Divine Power Acquired: Cyan Eye]
[Cyan Eye Level 1 (Investigation +1): 0/100]
"This is a new Divine Power?"
Seeing this, Shen Bai was overjoyed.
He hadn’t acquired a new Divine Power in a long time.
Ever since obtaining the Divination Skill, all the Deceitful Objects he had recently acquired had been convertible. So, suddenly getting a new Divine Power filled Shen Bai’s heart with joy.
Just as Shen Bai, filled with joy, was about to take a closer look at this Divine Power called Cyan Eye, his surroundings began to change.
A vague sense of familiarity once again surfaced in his mind.
Shen Bai, however, remained calm, sitting patiently and waiting for the scenery around him to shift.
After a few breaths, the surrounding scenery had blurred to the point of being indiscernible. When it became completely indistinct, Shen Bai found himself in another Space.
This was a dense forest. It was so dense because the trees were packed incredibly tight. Nearly every few steps, a large tree would block his line of sight.
If a person were inside, they would likely get completely lost after walking just a few meters.
Because of the sheer number of trees, it was impossible to even get one’s bearings.
Shen Bai stroked his chin and thought, ’What new tricks are they trying to pull this time?’
He had just left the place where the phantom was, and now, unexpectedly, he was back in another one.
Shen Bai was also very curious about what he would gain this time.
As he was thinking this, Shen Bai finally saw where the phantom was.
At that moment, in this extremely dense forest, the phantom sat cross-legged with its hands on its knees, its eyes tightly shut.
Besides it, there was nothing but the dense forest.
Just then, the phantom moved.
The phantom slowly raised its right hand, forming a Sword Technique with its index and middle fingers.
Streams of Qi flowed toward the phantom’s eyes, and in an instant, they underwent an unusual change.
At this moment, a RUSTLING sound suddenly echoed from the surroundings.
As the sound arose, accompanied by low howls, Shen Bai could feel a heart-stopping, sinister chill.
When he turned his head to look around, his brow furrowed tightly.
’I can’t see where the abnormality is,’ Shen Bai thought.
The surrounding forest was simply too dense. So dense that a casual glance revealed nothing but trees.
’So how is he going to deal with it?’ Shen Bai wondered, pulling back his gaze.
Shen Bai wasn’t in a hurry. He had all the time in the world to watch.
And just as Shen Bai was thinking this, the phantom finally moved.
The low, strange growls from the surroundings were frequent, but it was impossible to discern their specific direction.
Yet the phantom didn’t seem to even glance in their direction.
After it lowered its hand, streams of Sword Qi materialized out of thin air around its body.
This Sword Qi was quite familiar to Shen Bai.
Although it still pulsed with a blood-red light, the fundamental nature of the Sword Qi had undergone a terrifying change.
After all, this was Sword Qi that had reached Level 7.
Shen Bai was certain this was the Sword Qi of the Soul-Annihilating Sword.
However, Shen Bai couldn’t quite understand the current situation.
If you can’t even find where the enemy is, what’s the use?
’Is it going to rely on an area-of-effect attack to kill the abnormalities?’
As this thought emerged in Shen Bai’s mind, the phantom, as if in response, casually flicked its fingers.
With each flick of its fingers, a stream of the Soul-Annihilating Sword’s Sword Qi was sent out by the phantom.
Each movement seemed utterly casual, but every time a blade of Sword Qi vanished, a terrifying sound erupted from the forest.
The eerie presence also vanished or diminished significantly in response.
