"Your Celestial Eyes seem like they might be awakening? Are you serious?" the Queen asked.
"Mm, serious," Chu Feng said in a firm tone.
Hearing that, the Queen was thrilled — practically even happier than Chu Feng himself.
Of all people, the Queen understood just how formidable the Celestial Eyes were. After all… this was a technique she had personally taught Chu Feng.
The Celestial Eyes fell under the category of vein-seeking methods.
If mastered, one would have no need to rely on Mental Power to sense anything — a single glance would reveal everything that Mental Power could perceive.
Once the Celestial Eyes were fully cultivated, one could see through walls, the so-called x-ray vision, and also uncover subtle clues that ordinary people would never notice.
Burial grounds, ancient ruins, hidden chambers — all contained celestial secrets waiting to be exposed.
The Celestial Eyes were meant to perceive precisely those celestial secrets invisible to the common eye.
But the power of the Celestial Eyes extended far beyond that.
At higher levels of cultivation, the Celestial Eyes could even be transformed into an offensive weapon, wielding the power to level mountains and dry up lakes in a single glance, boiling them away into nothingness.
And at full mastery, one could peer into a person's very heart and soul, distinguishing loyalty from treachery at a glance — seeing through someone's true nature instantly. With just one look, one could even force a person into submission, binding them to lifelong servitude.
Chu Feng had been cultivating the vein-seeking methods for many years now.
As his experience grew and his mastery of sealing arts advanced, his progress in the brain cultivation and heart cultivation aspects of the vein-seeking methods had steadily improved.
However, the one area where Chu Feng's progress had been the least significant was the most critical component of the vein-seeking methods — eye cultivation.
Right now, let alone peering into people's hearts or launching offensive strikes, he hadn't even brought his most basic observational abilities to their full potential.
But that couldn't be blamed on Chu Feng. The Celestial Eyes were simply an extraordinarily difficult technique to cultivate.
However, if Chu Feng were to truly achieve a breakthrough this time, it would mean far more than just an upgrade to the Celestial Eyes.
In the future, whenever he encountered ancient ruins or burial grounds, he would very likely be able to uncover them — and the treasures he could reap from that would be immense.
"Chu Feng, are you sure? Are they really close to awakening?" the Queen pressed again.
"Well, I wouldn't call it an awakening exactly. I just feel like my Celestial Eyes are about to enter a whole new tier."
"But I can't be certain about any of it. I'll have to test it out to know for sure," Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng wasn't lying — he genuinely couldn't be sure, because it was only a feeling at this point.
Right now, stimulated by his encounter with Liangqiu Hongyue, his fighting spirit surged. Not only was the flame of battle roaring within him, but his eyes also burned with an unusual, searing heat.
Perhaps driven by his burning desire to win, Chu Feng truly felt that his Celestial Eyes were on the verge of transformation.
Whether or not he could succeed, however, he had no way of knowing.
It would all depend on whether he could break through during his upcoming duel with Liangqiu Hongyue.
"In that case, just keep competing with her! Who cares if you win or lose — as long as the Celestial Eyes awaken, that's a massive win for us!" the Queen declared.
Hearing that, Chu Feng couldn't help but break into a smile — a genuine smile of joy. The Queen's concern for him truly warmed his heart.
"My dear Queen, don't worry about me. I can handle things on my end. How about your situation over there?" Chu Feng asked.
Egg was currently situated inside the first inheritance point.
Perhaps that inheritance point contained some kind of special power, because even though the Queen was no longer inside Chu Feng's body, she was still able to share his sight and hearing.
