Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: The Sealed Right Eye

The difficulty of the entire absorption process did not lie with Pei Yan, but rather with Hu Jiu, who had just transformed into human shape and was still unfamiliar with controlling source energy. Fortunately, the two of them now shared a mind-link under Pei Yan’s guidance, and the entire process proceeded in an orderly manner amidst some thrills but without danger.

The time taken for absorbing the two major Powers of Origin far exceeded Pei Yan’s expectations. To obscure the heavenly mechanism and prevent the Magic Venerable Face from noticing, while also considering Moira’s body, the extraction of Power of Origin from within her was very cautious and slow. The four people in the secret chamber stayed awake for seven days and nights, and only then were the two major Powers of Origin fully transferred and absorbed.

Having absorbed the two major Powers of Origin, Pei Yan and Hu Jiu naturally fell into a coma due to the digestion and absorption of internal energy. However, with Lin Junzhao, the two Masters of Origin, present, Pei Yan didn’t have to worry about safety.

A wave of burning sensation in his right eye brought Pei Yan back from sleep. As he regained consciousness, he quickly noticed the difference from previous absorptions and evolutions. Besides his body feeling unusually heavy with source energy seemingly sealed, performing at less than seventy percent of its previous capacity, the most significant difference was that his right eye couldn’t see.

"Uh, uh! My! What’s wrong with my eye?" As Pei Yan struggled to support his body and stand up from the ground, dizziness struck him hard. Before losing consciousness, he heard Lin Junzhao’s voice.

"Don’t move! Let me check you!"

When Pei Yan woke up again, the burning sensation in his right eye had partially subsided, but he still couldn’t open it to see. As he twisted his neck to glance around, he realized he was no longer in the previous secret chamber. He found himself beside a soft couch, where the anxiously standing Lin Junzhao and the curiously watching Lin Ruxue were beside him.

"What exactly has happened to me?" Pei Yan gazed at Lin Junzhao, expressing the confusion in his heart.

"You can see for yourself!" Lin Ruxue casually picked up a mirror from beside the bed and handed it to Pei Yan. Taking the mirror and looking at his face, Pei Yan was surprised to find his right eyelid tightly shut. On this closed eyelid were crisscrossed lines of blood forming a bizarre pattern resembling a human face, akin to a burning sun. These blood lines sealed his eyelid, preventing his right eye from opening and seeing.

A mechanical left eye and a Taiji right eye with a pupil where red and blue intersect amidst the black and white, these strange eyes had become Pei Yan’s unique mark. Although the right eye was no longer effective in deploying the Six Paths to trap foes among many Children of Origin and increasingly powerful adversaries, Pei Yan felt quite troubled by its ghostly appearance. He tossed the mirror aside, looked at Lin Junzhao, and pointed to his right eye to question: "What is going on?"

"I don’t know!"

"Huh?" Lin Junzhao replied bluntly, arousing Pei Yan’s dissatisfaction.

Seeing Pei Yan’s angry manner, Lin Junzhao instead relaxed and sat on the bed with a teasing tone: "The fact that you still have the energy to be angry means there is no major problem with your body. As for your eye, I truly do not know why such an abnormal change occurred. All other changes in your body were within our expectations, except for the state of your right eye! Since you absorbed the two major Powers of Origin and fell into a coma, I came to observe your body’s state every half-day. On the third day of your coma, your right eye began to mutate, with the first blood line forming. From that time, I closely monitored its dynamics. As the frequency of blood line growth increased, both of us tried to examine it for you, but the results were shocking! Despite our abilities, we couldn’t detect anything about your right eye. The meridians near your right eye seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how much force or methods we used to probe, it was all absorbed into your body without a trace. This power is even more terrifying than the Candle Dragon’s devouring force."

Upon recalling the scene where the internal source energy was forcibly absorbed into that strange right eye during detection, Lin Junzhao and Lin Ruxue were not only astonished but secretly terrified.

After listening to Lin Junzhao, Pei Yan touched his right eye. Besides clearly feeling the burning sensation occasionally from the blood lines when blood flowed, there wasn’t any abnormal feeling as mentioned. However, seeing their fearful looks made Pei Yan realize they weren’t joking. Confused, Pei Yan channeled his own source energy towards his right eye to test its reaction.

"Ah!"

A miserable cry echoed as the intense pain from his right eye pierced through Pei Yan’s brain, causing his head to feel like it was splitting apart. He had to stop the attempt as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Strangely, instead of anger, he began to laugh bizarrely amidst the pain.

"Ah~! Ah~! Ah~!"

"Hey! Pei Yan, did you hurt your brain?" Lin Junzhao saw Pei Yan’s sweat drip onto the blanket, soaking it as he fiercely attempted to channel source energy into his right eye despite the excruciating pain. She panicked, reaching out to grab Pei Yan’s arm to stop him. Yet, in this chaotic moment, when Lin Junzhao’s hand touched Pei Yan’s right eye, her internal energy once again lost control and was swept into Pei Yan’s eye like a flood.

With a bang, a dull thud sounded as a sturdy blow struck Pei Yan’s head. Looking at the closing of his eyes and fainting straight out, then looking at Lin Junzhao who was freed and collapsed by the bedside, with the makeshift table leg wielded as a club in hand, Lin Ruxue smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of monster are you trying to cultivate?"

"I don’t know." Momentarily losing a tenth of her source energy and looking at the unconscious Pei Yan, Lin Junzhao felt her first wavering on whether her actions were correct, murmuring aimlessly.

Pei Yan should be grateful that Lin Junzhao felt fear towards him at this moment. This fear, due to their recent interactions and Lin Junzhao pouring substantial effort into him, didn’t turn into murderous intent. If it were the Candle Dragon or even the Demon God instead, facing a disciple gradually escaping their control, if not killing them at such a chance, they would definitely devise ways to implant layers of restrictions within their body, preventing further growth.

Due to Lin Junzhao’s moment of softness, Pei Yan woke once more from his uncontrollable state. This time, he no longer infused source energy into his right eye. From his previous attempt, Pei Yan perceived a formidable power slumbering within his right eye. Only by absorbing the unique Power of Origin of Blood Crushers and perfectly merging the Six Paths Origin Qi and Power of Origin within himself, could this power truly awaken!

At that time, perhaps he would become an existence surpassing the Masters of Origin!
