Wang Yu

Chapter 271 The Fruit of the True Eye

The next morning.

Wang Yu returned to Crimson Glow Peak covered in dust, without alarming anyone. He hurried through the residence and entered his cave abode.

After activating all the cave's restrictions, he went directly into the secret chamber, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, and with a turn of his wrist, a white porcelain teacup appeared in his palm.

This was not a magical treasure, but a common object for daily use, often seen in the homes of wealthy secular families. Wang Yu had casually taken it from a table in the hall as he passed through.

He held the teacup in one hand and gently tapped the rim with his finger.

With a crisp "crack," a piece of porcelain broke off the rim and fell from the cup.

Wang Yu nodded, placed the chipped teacup on the ground in front of him, formed a hand seal, and golden light burst forth from his back, immediately revealing the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

The bright golden wheel rotated slowly, with a golden vertical eye suspended in the center.

He chanted softly, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel began to spin rapidly, emitting a series of "buzzing" sounds.

One after another, the translucent Dao patterns on the wheel lit up. Soon, all twenty-four Dao patterns were activated, operating at full power, radiating circles of faint golden ripples, reflecting off the walls of the secret chamber.

The vertical eye in the center of the treasure wheel blinked and opened, revealing the golden eyeball within.

The strange runes in the center of the eyeball immediately began to spin rapidly, and with a "sizzle," a pale golden light projected from the pupil.

Wang Yu moved his gaze, and the golden light projected from the Eye of Truth moved with it, falling on the chipped porcelain cup.

The golden light shone on the white teacup on the ground, reflecting points of light, making the entire teacup appear more translucent.

However, the damaged area showed no change and remained the same.

"It seems I can't repair ordinary objects..." Wang Yu pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

He was not surprised by this situation, as he never expected the Eye of Truth to be effective on all ordinary objects.

There must be something special about it.

After a moment of thought, he flipped his wrist, and a dark black octagonal pagoda appeared in his palm.

This pagoda was originally a high-grade spiritual treasure with the function of a trapping formation. However, it was severely damaged, and its function was greatly reduced. However, some of the runes engraved on it were quite special and of considerable reference value to Wang Yu, so he had not discarded it after obtaining it.

The pagoda had a very exquisite design. Although it was only a foot tall, it had eaves, corner pillars, corridors, doors, windows, and platforms, and even the plaques hanging on each layer of the pagoda doors were complete, with each inscribed with words of truth.

This pagoda should have had seven layers, but due to the damage, the top layer of the pagoda and the treasure spire on it had disappeared.

Wang Yu placed the pagoda on the ground in front of him, took a deep breath, and once again urged the Eye of Truth to slowly rotate, projecting its gaze onto it.

The pagoda was bathed in golden light, and its body shone with a bright black light, rippling with layers of strange fluctuations. Hidden runes under the eaves and behind the pillars were revealed.

However, the damaged area at the top was the same as the previous teacup, without any change.

"Still no effect..."

Seeing this, Wang Yu frowned slightly, his face thoughtful.

After a while, he wiped his palm in front of him, put away the pagoda, and took out a broken vermillion seal again, placing it on the ground and activating it with a hand seal.

The pale golden light of the Eye of Truth moved and shot out a golden light, covering the seal...

More than half a day later, Wang Yu sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, his hands surrounded by green light, holding a Celestial Essence Stone in the center of his palm.

On the ground in front of him, there were seventeen or eighteen objects, including both spiritual implements and magical treasures, all slightly damaged treasures.

These were all the flawed treasures he currently possessed, encompassing almost all attributes such as wind, thunder, water, and fire. He had tried them one by one patiently, but none of them could restore the damaged parts in the form of phantoms like the stone tablet.

"Strange, what's the difference?" Wang Yu muttered to himself as he absorbed Celestial Spiritual Power.

"No effect on ordinary objects, no effect on spiritual treasures containing spiritual power, but effective on the stone tablet in the White Sparrow Valley secret realm... What's so special about the stone tablet?"

He didn't believe that the Eye of Truth would only be effective on specific things. There must be some characteristic.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to have thought of something.

He flipped his hand, and a exquisite white jade long box appeared in his palm, with a blue talisman sealing the spiritual energy on it.

Wang Yu gently wiped his hand over the jade box, and the talisman disappeared in a flash of blue light.

He opened the jade box with a "snap," and a faint purple light lit up, with a rich medicinal fragrance coming from within.

Lying in the jade box was a high-level spiritual herb with pale purple veins and flickering fluorescent light.

This was a Nightbloom Grass, about a foot long, the main ingredient for refining a Earth Grade elixir. Under the nourishment of the green liquid, its medicinal age was already over fifty thousand years.

Wang Yu put away the Celestial Essence Stone, formed a hand seal, and summoned the Mantra Treasure Wheel again.

Under the full operation of the twenty-four Dao patterns, the pale golden light projected from the Eye of Truth slowly moved and fell on the pale purple spiritual herb.

The Nightbloom Grass was surrounded by purple light, and under the gaze of the Eye of Truth, it rapidly shrunk, quickly changing from a foot tall to only an inch. The fluorescent light on its veins, which marked it as a mature spiritual herb, disappeared, making it look like an immature seedling.

"As expected... The Eye of Truth is only effective when viewing items containing the power of time." Wang Yu's mouth curled up, revealing a smile, and he murmured to himself.

He composed himself, reached out a palm, and touched the seedling. What he touched was still just a phantom, and what he actually touched was still the mature ten-thousand-year spiritual herb.

"The strange phenomena that appeared on the stone tablet before were not that the Eye of Truth repaired the missing parts, but simply revealed the appearance of the stone tablet in its complete state in the past. Since it can only reproduce the past images of objects containing the power of time, it should be effective on those few things as well, right?" Wang Yu pondered for a moment, then said to himself.

With that, he flipped his palm again, and a square green jade box appeared in the void in front of him.

He waved his hand, and the jade box opened, and a round gray stone ball flew out from it, which was the single eyeball of the alien beast Tai Fei, which resembled a giant.

Wang Yu urged the Eye of Truth, gazing at the single eye suspended in the air.

The eyeball, which had been motionless, gradually underwent wonderful changes under the bathing of golden light.

Its surface suddenly burst out with golden light, turning into strands of golden thread extending from it, connecting and intertwining in mid-air, constructing golden bones and a giant framework.

Before long, the image of a single-eyed giant lying flat on the ground floated in the secret chamber.

However, because the beast's body was too huge, half of its body had sunk into the stone wall on the other side of the secret chamber, making it impossible to fully restore its entire appearance.

Wang Yu stood up, stood at the end of its head, carefully observed it for a moment, and then retracted the gaze of the Eye of Truth.

The huge phantom in the secret chamber disappeared, and the single eye remained suspended there alone.

Wang Yu exhaled a long breath, waved his hand to put away the single eye, and a light flashed in his palm, and he took out another object, a translucent crystal grain the size of a drop of water.

This crystal grain was condensed from the green liquid in the Palm Heaven Bottle, and naturally contained the power of time.

Wang Yu's mind moved, no longer using his original eyes to see, but looking at the crystal grain in his palm through the golden vertical eye.

Pale golden light fell from the Eye of Truth, and the crystal grain was enveloped in it, immediately releasing a burst of dazzling white light, and a strong spiritual power fluctuation rippled from it.

Wang Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly retracted his palm, wanting to put away the crystal grain.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

With a soft "crack," the crystal grain shattered directly in the light.

Before Wang Yu could react, a golden thread, like a steel needle, shot out, directly passing over Wang Yu and piercing into the vertical eye in the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him.

Wang Yu felt as if the treasure wheel behind him had been hit by a heavy blow, and his body staggered backward.

Then, he felt the treasure wheel behind him begin to vibrate slightly, and invisible fluctuations were transmitted from it.

Alarmed, he quickly stopped the operation of the secret art and closed the golden vertical eye.

However, although the Eye of Truth had been closed, the vibration caused by the golden thread continued.

Wang Yu hesitated, not knowing how to intervene, and not daring to rashly put the treasure wheel into his body. He had to force himself to calm down and closely observe the changes in the treasure wheel.

Fortunately, this abnormal vibration only lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel quickly stabilized again.

At this moment, Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face. He found that a ball of white light had condensed on the treasure wheel, and it had turned into a semi-transparent Dao pattern of time.
