Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Mind’s Eye, Heavenly Eye!

"I’m just talking about news, and besides, I’m inside the sea of consciousness, how could it possibly be a matter of life and death?"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and asked.

"I told you, it would affect your Taoist heart! This might easily lead you to deviate from the path and lose your mind! Only when you have reached a higher realm and your mind has become stable will I tell you bit by bit! Otherwise, you will lose the heart to comprehend the great Dao!"

Lu Chen pressed on, "Is it because of the news that the Hatetian Clan has been wiped out?"

At these words, the Artifact Spirit, whose body was flushed red, suddenly turned deathly pale, and stuttered, "How do you know that the Hatetian Clan has been annihilated?"

Lu Chen’s heart stirred, nearly revealing that the totem statue had told him, but as the words reached his lips, he instead revealed a meaningful smile.

"I am of the Hatetian Clan, why can’t I know?"

The Artifact Spirit fell silent.

"It seems I was shortsighted. Since you know and can cultivate to such a state, your mental fortitude must be extraordinary! No wonder... As such, I shall not say more. Cultivate well. In my opinion, the first thing you should understand about the path to Foundation Establishment is the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!"

This was exactly what the totem statue had told him!

Lu Chen’s expectation for the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique grew stronger, yet he kept his composure and asked, "What effects will there be if the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique advances to a higher level?"

"The effects are significant, and to speak without reservation," the Artifact Spirit paused, then said, "My original master achieved insight into the heavenly secrets because of the mastery of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique! But it was precisely for this reason that he met with disaster! Possessing this Pupil Skill, it was as if everyone stood naked before him, with no secrets at all! Perhaps, the annihilation of the Hatetian Clan was also because of this! However, for your early cultivation, the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique can be very helpful! To put it simply, if one day you pick up a Cultivation Technique containing profound mysteries, you could see through it at a glance! Do you understand what I’m saying?"

A spark flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes, "Understood!"

For him at this moment, no matter how profound his Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique was, without the aid of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, not only would battling higher leveled adversaries be out of question, but even peers of the same realm would likely require a tough fight!

It was clear how powerful the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique was!

But then...

"How should I go about comprehending, so as to reach the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage through the breakthrough of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique?"

The Foundation Establishment Stage is no easy feat. Lu Chen did not believe he had the talent to achieve a breakthrough without a Foundation Building Pill.

Before Qin Yaotiao left, she had also told him, to go to the sect, and together they would make contributions to the sect to obtain the Foundation Building Pill!

"That I do not know, which is why I told you to stay here and comprehend. But rest assured, even if you cannot fathom it, once your body’s essence blood is restored, I will naturally let you out. You just need to know that I will not harm you! Because you are a member of the Hatetian Clan!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "I just don’t know where to begin!"

After thinking for a moment, the Artifact Spirit said, "As far as I know, during the cultivation process of my former master, he mentioned terms like ’mind’s eye’ and ’Heavenly Eye’, which might be helpful to you!"

"Mind’s Eye? Heavenly Eye?"

Lu Chen was startled. Wasn’t the term ’mind’s eye’ used to describe someone’s cunning?

And the Heavenly Eye...

It seemed far too mystical.

After thinking for a while, he then asked, "So what exactly is the ’mind’s eye’? Can you recall anything else?"

"I can’t remember much, just that my master once said something during his cultivation!"

"What was it?"

Lu Chen quickly asked.

"Ordinary people often say that seeing is believing! But on the Immortal Path, what you see with your eyes might also be an illusion! You shouldn’t only rely on your eyes to see the myriad things of the world, but also use your heart to discern! I call it... the ’mind’s eye’."

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration appeared in Lu Chen’s mind!

The ’mind’s eye’—he felt like he understood what it meant!
