I Can Strengthen Everything

Now that he understood the abilities of the Golden Eyes of Truth, Fang Xing had also learned how to use them.

The first time, he had focused with all his might, unleashing the Golden Light of Truth and letting it sweep across the entire Observatory. That was what had triggered the senses of the Celestial powerhouse.

As long as he didn’t unleash the Golden Light of Truth, it wouldn’t cause any disturbance.

The Golden Light of Truth!

It was a divine light unique to the Golden Eyes of Truth.

It not only possessed the ability to see through illusions, but when used properly, it could also kill with a single gaze.

Of course, this ability’s effectiveness still depended on his own strength.

If he were to cultivate a special Martial Dao Secret Technique, such as a Pupil Technique, he could further enhance the lethal power of the Golden Light of Truth.

However, against opponents of similar strength, it wouldn’t be overwhelmingly powerful.

’Observe fortune... see through illusions...’

’With the power of the Golden Eyes of Truth, no Demon or Monster will be able to hide from me.’

’That’s not bad at all.’

Fang Xing retracted his gaze. Although the enhancement this time had caused a huge commotion, the power of the Golden Eyes of Truth was still immense.

Used properly, it would be a huge boon to his own strength.

Having figured out how to use it, Fang Xing finally felt at ease.

Before he understood it, he hadn’t dared to look around recklessly.

Now that he could use it with ease, things were much better.

With the power of the Golden Eyes of Truth, no Demon or Ghost would be able to hide from him.

Even top-tier Demons and Monsters, who could transform into humans and perfectly conceal their Demon Qi, would be unable to hide from his gaze.

Phew...

Letting out a long breath, Fang Xing unburdened his heart and quickly vanished from the front of the Library Pavilion.

This time, it had been a close call, but he’d come out unscathed.

Had this happened outside, the situation would have been entirely different. If a top-tier Demon or Monster had locked onto him, it would have been an absolute disaster.

...

The commotion passed.

But for everyone in Jiang Province, that shocking scene was seared into their minds like a brand.

The Observatory had instantly become the focus of the city’s various factions.

Everyone was on edge.

After all, an event capable of drawing the attention of a Celestial powerhouse was no ordinary occurrence.

Meanwhile, Fang Xing, the ’culprit’ behind it all, had already put the incident out of his mind.

He threw himself wholeheartedly into his Cultivation.

With the Rebirth Pill, he focused all of his Cultivation on the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.

Every layer he broke through was a leap in his strength.

As he cultivated his Martial Arts, his strength climbed accordingly.

Two months flew by.

During two months of arduous Cultivation, Fang Xing not only improved his Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt but also remembered to advance his Red Fire Divine Skill.

He enhanced some of the Treasure Medicines and Elixirs from his spoils from the Void Saintess to aid his Cultivation of the Red Fire Divine Skill.

Within those two months, his Red Fire Divine Skill broke through to the Eighth Layer.

His Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt reached the peak of the Sixth Layer. He had completely absorbed the Rebirth Pill, making considerable progress.

However, he hadn’t yet reached the point of a qualitative transformation.

From the Sixth Layer to the seventh.

This was the breakthrough from the second stage to the third stage of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.

This barrier halted his progress.

’It seems I’ll still need Demon Monster Essence to break through,’ Fang Xing thought.

His Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt had hit a bottleneck.

Even taking the Rebirth Pill was useless.

Each stage of this Divine Skill he surpassed represented a massive leap in power.

Having cultivated the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to the Sixth Layer, his Dragon Scale Purple Armor had also reached its peak.

His Defense Power had increased severalfold.

His Physical Strength had reached a Divine Power of 150,000 jin.

His own power was even greater than that of a Demon or Monster of the same level.

His Flesh Body alone was enough to crush a Demon or Monster of the same level!

The progress he made in two months was something others couldn’t achieve in two years.

’After two months, I’ve finally pushed my Cultivation to the peak of the third layer. I wonder how many Demon and Monster Cores it’ll take to break through.’

A glint appeared in Fang Xing’s eyes.

His foundation was so profound that the Essence from a single enhanced Initial Realm Demon’s Inner Core was no longer enough to meet his breakthrough requirements.

’A Middle Realm Demon...’

’I should be able to kill one now.’

Gazing out the window, Fang Xing’s eyes narrowed with determination.

If the Inner Cores of Initial Realm Demons aren’t enough, then I’ll just have to hunt a Middle Realm Demon and take its Inner Core.

’I should go to the Celestial Hall and see if there are any suitable Demon targets.’

The thought flashed through his mind, and Fang Xing immediately rose and left his room.

He had to be absolutely certain about this major realm breakthrough!

Failing to break through would have a significant impact on his foundation.

Normally, the first attempt at a breakthrough had the highest chance of success.

Of course, this also depended on an individual’s accumulated preparations.

From the Bright Force realm until now, he had succeeded in every breakthrough on his first try.

This wasn’t due to luck, but because his preparations were always more than sufficient.

Without a powerful foundation, succeeding on the first try was basically a pipe dream.

"Sir!"

"Lord Fang!"

"Mm."

Fang Xing nodded in greeting to the many acquaintances he passed along the way.

Soon, he arrived at the Celestial Hall.

Upon entering the Celestial Hall, Fang Xing began to look through the available missions.

His Commander-level authority allowed him to view missions spanning the entire True Realm.

There were plenty of Demon-hunting missions, but finding a suitable one would require careful consideration.

Failing a mission not only resulted in a deduction of Merit but could also cost him his life.

The Observatory was the most powerful department in the Great Jing, but it also had one of the highest mortality rates.

After looking through them all, Fang Xing finally selected a Demon-hunting mission.

After confirming his target, registering for the mission, and receiving the detailed file, Fang Xing left the Celestial Hall.

Returning to his residence, Fang Xing carefully reviewed the specific details of the mission.

Once he had committed everything to memory, Fang Xing left the Observatory.

He generally preferred to complete his missions alone.

He would only join a team when a mission expressly required it.

He felt more at ease on his own.

Stepping out of the Observatory, Fang Xing rented a Spiritual Steed, as was his custom, and rode out of the city.

He set out on the main road and soon disappeared from sight.

...

「Three days later. Jiang Province, Nanshui Town.」

This was a small town near Dongting Lake.

However, its location was several hundred li away from where he had carried out his first Dongting Lake mission.

Although it was within the greater Dongting Lake region, the lake itself was vast, connecting many different areas.
