Eternal Life: I Can Harvest Demon Beast Talents

The bright golden, solidified Treasure Seed floated into his body, passing through his Divine Soul.

Haaa...

His Divine Soul was cleansed once more. A cold, sharp sensation washed over it, and Lin Changheng couldn’t help but shudder.

It was as if his soul had been washed by the purest glacial spring and then tempered by the sharpest Gold Qi.

Immediately after, the bright golden Insight Treasure Seed shot straight through him before bursting apart. Then, as if it had found its home, it slowly re-condensed over his eyes.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of clarity and sharpness burst forth from his eyes!

’It felt like I’d grown another pair of eyes!’

’An invisible yet incomparably sharp pair of eyes!’

They overlapped, merged, and converged with his own eyes.

Lin Changheng subconsciously opened his eyes, and the invisible pair snapped open along with them.

The world in his eyes suddenly became completely different!

Wherever his gaze fell, everything seemed as if it had been wiped clean of dust, becoming incomparably clear and sharp.

Although Lin Changheng’s Body Refining had reached the Tier Two Late Stage, which had enhanced his eyes and improved his vision to a certain degree, it was merely a quantitative change, not a qualitative one.

There was no fundamental change!

Such a change would only be possible if he refined a special, physical Divine Ability, and the Evergreen Body of the Ancient Wood technique, at least, had no such effect.

...

But now, the Insight Technique: Peeping Path had unlocked a new function.

He didn’t rush to test it.

’Continue Spirit Stealing!’

Lin Changheng once again looked toward the remaining Profound Edge Vulture Essence Blood.

HUMMM~

The Primordial Cauldron stirred in response.

[Profound Edge Vulture Treasure Seed - First Layer]

[Spirit Stealing: 100/100]

...

[Profound Edge Vulture Treasure Seed - Second Layer]

[Spirit Stealing: 11/100]

A new Treasure Seed once again took shape amidst the rising Cyan Mist.

And there was even some to spare.

[Can continue to Refine into Demon Race Lifebound Talent: Insight]

Whoosh...

Lin Changheng plucked the Treasure Seed, and the identical experience repeated itself.

The change in his eyes, however, had clearly deepened.

[Refined: Insight Skill: Spiritual]

Lin Changheng slowly walked into the courtyard. He activated the Concealing Breath Demon Technique to mask his aura and blend into the surroundings, avoiding detection. Cloaked by the night, he ascended into the sky.

Then, he activated the [Insight Skill: Spiritual].

The pair of invisible eyes opened once more, overlapping with Lin Changheng’s vision as he scanned his surroundings like a hawk.

The veins on the leaves of trees on a distant mountain, the trajectories of dust motes floating in the air, even the subtle currents stirred by the flick of a fish’s tail deep within Fusheng Lake ahead...

Countless details he would have previously ignored now appeared in his vision with incredible clarity, processed by his brain at lightning speed.

It wasn’t as simple as just seeing farther or in greater detail.

He could even...

...faintly see the flow and distribution of Spiritual Qi in the world!

It was no longer a mere feeling; he could now actually see it with his own eyes.

Although the vision wasn’t perfectly clear, he could still distinguish its basic characteristics: dense areas appeared like smoke and mist, while sparse areas resembled transparent ripples in water.

This visual enhancement was comprehensive and revolutionary.

It was as if he had always been looking at the world through a pane of frosted glass, and now, that glass had been utterly shattered.

’So this is the power of Insight...’

Lin Changheng was filled with shock and elation.

He tried focusing on the distant horizon, and his vision easily pierced through the clouds. He could see several almost imperceptible black dots—Escape Lights—in the extreme distance. He could even make out their flight paths and glean a thing or two about the attributes of their Spiritual Light!

He couldn’t help but wonder, ’If this Demon Beast Talent can undergo Metamorphosis into a Divine Ability, could it really become the legendary Thousand-Mile Eye?’

’As my Cultivation increases, could I reach that legendary state where, sitting solemnly on a high platform, a mere turn of my gaze would allow me to peer into the heavens above and probe the underworld below?’

He excitedly observed his surroundings for a while, but soon his eyes began to ache unbearably, almost to the point of tears.

He quickly deactivated the Abnormal Technique and stopped using it.

The pair of invisible eyes slowly closed, and the cold, sharp sensation gradually subsided.

But with just a flicker of his will, he could enter that "Insight" state, perceiving the minute details of all creation and the flow of energy.

’Truly miraculous! This will be of immense benefit to me!’

Lin Changheng descended from the sky, passed through the Array, and landed in the courtyard. A deep sense of satisfaction filled him as he experienced this brand-new power.

Choosing the Insight Talent had undoubtedly been the right decision.

If someone had been at his side, staring intently at him, they might have noticed a faint golden light flash and vanish in the depths of his eyes. His gaze became deeper, sharper, as if it could pierce a person’s very heart.

But it quickly faded, and his eyes returned to their pitch-black color, as placid as an old well, like a deep pool, betraying nothing out of the ordinary.

’With vision like this and this Abnormal Technique, if I combine them with my Perfection Level Spirit Detecting Skill, and even quickly master a Qi Observation Skill, could using them in combination produce some kind of miraculous effect?’

These were all highly related techniques that could be used in coordination.

Lin Changheng stroked his chin, pondering. He would have to experiment more when he had the time to see if he could create a synergy.

...

「The next day」

Lin Changheng went out. He once again paid a visit to Artifact Master Guo, asking for his help in repairing the Tier Two Lower Grade Masterpiece Spiritual Aritfact: the copper bowl he had obtained from the Qiu Family Ancestor.

As for the Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Black Seal Platform, Lin Changheng had already found the time to refine it.

The process, done intermittently, had taken him nearly five days in total.

But since the copper bowl was cracked, he hadn’t refined it yet. He would have it repaired first.

Lin Changheng, for his part, trusted Artifact Master Guo’s skills.
