Chapter 416: Chapter 416 It’s Time to Cultivate the Mind’s Eye!

"Spiritual Fire, Spiritual Fire... A fire with spirit intelligence and spirit nature is what they call Spiritual Fire! Does this imply that these fires possess a certain level of spirituality?"

Lu Chen’s body could now autonomously circulate the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method to absorb Spiritual Power, which also benefited him, allowing him to think during the process of Qi Refinement.

He quickly found the difference between the two types of Spiritual Power.

"The same goes for Fire Essence," Lu Chen continued to ponder deeply, "Whether at Ninefold Peak or Zhaixing Peak, it’s the same, that Fire Essence seems to want to engulf me entirely, bursting out uncontrollably!"

He gradually discovered something, and at the same time, his determination to traverse all nine peaks and absorb all of the Earth Fire’s Essence solidified!

Because the growth of Spiritual Fire, aside from nurturing in oneself, requires the absorption of other Spiritual Fires.

With the level of his Spiritual Fire, absorbing Earth Fire was somewhat unrealistic; after all, it was the lifeblood of the entire Casting Gear Pavilion!

But to absorb Fire Essence...

As of now, no one had discovered it!

The problem, however, was whether his absorption of Fire Essence when entering other mountains’ caves would raise the alarm among the other elders?

This was the issue that needed to be resolved at the moment!

Lu Chen cultivated while contemplating.

If there wasn’t a plausible reason, he feared that his actions might backfire!

Lu Chen dared not take that risk!

"Or perhaps... I should take advantage of the solitude at Ninefold Peak and try to see the full extent of these underground fire veins?"

When this thought occurred to him, even Lu Chen himself was startled.

But soon enough, he remembered the two words that the Pure Jade Vase had mentioned to him!

Heart Eye!

"I can only reach the level of the Heart Eye by continuing to cultivate the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique! However, I have no clue how to cultivate it to that level... Right, doesn’t Elder Ning Changzhong also have a Pupil Skill? Maybe... I should seek him out?"

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Ever since obtaining the Pupil Bead, Lu Chen had never encountered another cultivator who practiced Pupil Skill.

This also showed that Pupil Skills were extremely rare among cultivators, which is why he had no one else’s experience to draw from.

Moreover, the totem inside the Pupil Bead had also told him that he could only continue to enter it after reaching the Core Formation Stage!

But to wait until Core Formation...

With Spiritual Sense at his disposal, he would hardly need the Heart Eye in some respects.

"To increase my combat power in a short time, I need to absorb Fire Essence. However, whether I can successfully obtain the Fire Essence is uncertain! On the other hand, cultivating the Heart Eye... could at least greatly enhance my self-protection!"

Lu Chen was well aware of how formidable the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique was. During his previous encounter with Yu Zhibai, it was because of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique that he was able to precisely use the shaft of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to block the opponent’s strike, thus deterring him!

In reality, if Yu Zhibai had used his full strength, Lu Chen would not have absolute confidence.

"If I had the Heart Eye, not to mention other things, if I could see the movement of his Spiritual Power, maybe I could directly disrupt his Spell when it was about to form!"

Yu Zhibai was using him, and without Danyang Zi’s intervention, it might have resulted in a very delicate balance.

Although he hadn’t seen Yu Zhibai’s subsequent reaction, Lu Chen knew that not only would he be disregarded by Yu Zhibai, but also by Li Yanran, and there was even the possibility of encountering trouble in the Haotian Secret Realm!

"Whether it’s internal strife or potential dangers that might be encountered in the Haotian Secret Realm... and, just in case I come across the Hehuan Sect and Miyou also arrives there... the Heart Eye, I must cultivate the Heart Eye!"

Lu Chen made his decision, and as he opened his eyes, just as he was preparing to use the Fire Spiritual Power within his Dantian to command the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, a bizarre idea suddenly popped into his head!

"If I were... to use the power of Spiritual Fire to command the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, would there be... any difference?"

No sooner said than done, Lu Chen blinked, and with his control, the boundless power of the Spiritual Fire surged towards his eyes!

If anyone were there, they would be shocked to see that Lu Chen’s left pupil had turned into a flame in an instant!
