I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 169 - 142: Waterwalking Jade and Biluo Eye

(Divine Skill) Thousand-Handed Buddha Transformation

[Thousand Hand Dharma Aspect, Boundless Power]

After transforming into a divine skill, the Great Vajra Palm even changed its name, Thousand-Handed Buddha Transformation, which immediately sounds like something extraordinary.

Divine skills often possess immense power and cause astonishing destruction once executed. Qin Yuesheng forced himself to suppress the urge to directly demonstrate such a skill; if he'd used it here, it would surely create a startling commotion, then attracting others' attention.

Qin Yuesheng calmed his emotions, found a large cloth, and wrapped up the useful materials he had decomposed, carried it on his shoulder, then quietly left the place.

At the same time, while heading to the Qin Mansion, he enhanced the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber.

Spending 8,400 points of All-Purpose Essence, the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber successfully upgraded to a first-class martial art, significantly boosting its power.

The remaining 3,600 points of All-Purpose Essence were completely exhausted after elevating the Spiritual Swallow Body Skill to its sixth form.

It was only then that Qin Yuesheng took out the items he had previously decomposed from the bodies of those two Great Ghost Venerables from the Celestial Demon pouch.

Water-Walking Jade and Biluo Eye.

The Water-Walking Jade was a blue jade block with irregular edges and many jagged recesses, its surface exceedingly smooth, with no other distinctive features.

Qin Yuesheng explored for a long time, but whether he infused it with Inner Strength or tried to break it with force, it showed no reaction, seeming to be inedible.

However, since its name included the words "Water-Walking," it certainly had some connection to water. After returning to the Qin Mansion, Qin Yuesheng promptly approached the pond he used to visit to test the Water-Walking Jade.

As he brought the Water-Walking Jade closer to the pond, it still exhibited no reaction.

Thinking for a moment, Qin Yuesheng directly took the Water-Walking Jade and extended it toward the pond's surface, intending to soak it in water to see if it would change.

But just at that moment, something miraculous happened.

As Qin Yuesheng held the Water-Walking Jade, when his palm touched the water, it felt like a water barrier; he couldn't penetrate through, and the water didn't contact Qin Yuesheng's skin at all, completely defying his previous understanding of water.

"Could it be..." A thought suddenly popped into Qin Yuesheng's mind, and he promptly stepped onto the water's surface.

Pa!

Centered at Qin Yuesheng's foot position, ripples instantly radiated outward in circles. He stood steadily atop the water surface without any tendency to sink.

Patter patter!

Qin Yuesheng strode towards the center of the pond, walking swiftly over the water as if traversing solid ground.

"Water-Walking Jade can indeed allow one to walk on water, possessing functions similar to the Water-Repelling Pearl." Qin Yuesheng realized internally.

This function was useful, yet not useful; it saved him the necessity to practice Lightweight Skill like the art of Water Floating.

Walking back to the shore, after placing the Water-Walking Jade into the Celestial Demon pouch, Qin Yuesheng immediately picked up the Biluo Eye to fiddle with.

This was a pale blue eye, resembling a gem, entirely crystal-clear, seemingly like a piece of craftsmanship.

Biluo refers to the sky, suggesting this item might have the meaning of "Sky's Eye." This time, however, Qin Yuesheng couldn't fathom what the Biluo Eye was for.

Like the Water-Walking Jade, this item surely had its unique function.

Thinking of the Spirit Fox Heart Eye he had acquired earlier, Qin Yuesheng attempted to bring the Biluo Eye before his left eye to see if that's how it's used.

But in an instant, the Biluo Eye suddenly automatically burrowed into his eye, assimilating into Qin Yuesheng's left eye as if it were air.

"Huh?!" He reached out and felt around his left eye, finding nothing, touching nothing.

The Biluo Eye vanished! Disappeared!

"How can this be?" Qin Yuesheng was stunned.

He was certain the Biluo Eye hadn't entered his body, as he felt no foreign sensation within.

Amidst Qin Yuesheng's anxiety, a burst of blue light erupted within his left eye, and suddenly the view before Qin Yuesheng transformed.

A flower ten zhang away zoomed in before his eyes; in less than a breath, Qin Yuesheng could clearly see the white whiskers on the flower's stem.

Simultaneously, a tiny aphid perched on the white whiskers was exposed to Qin Yuesheng's view, it expanded to wheel-like proportions, allowing him to make out the white barbs on its legs.

The magnification continued to increase, Qin Yuesheng's gaze spotting the aphid's uneven keratin surface, seemingly about to enter its body pores, when suddenly his left eye throbbed with pain like countless needle stabs.

"Ah!!!" Instantly, Qin Yuesheng clutched his left eye and squatted down.

Droplets of fresh blood seeped from his left eye, dripped down Qin Yuesheng's hand, quickly staining the pebble path by the pond red.

Pain, unbearable pain. Although Qin Yuesheng had practiced martial arts, endured injuries, experienced pain, he'd never suffered like this.

His left eye's vision temporarily blurred, a reddish haze engulfing it.

"I never expected the ability of the Biluo Eye to be the expansion of vision. Though I'm not sure where the limit of this ability lies, it's definitely beyond what my eyes can currently withstand," Qin Yuesheng muttered to himself, clenching his teeth.

He reached out to channel his Inner Strength into his left eye, forcibly sealing all the bleeding in his eye, and stood up.

Qin Yuesheng had no doubt that if he had persisted in probing his gaze into the aphid's body, his left eye would have gone completely blind, beyond the recovery of even a celestial being.

"If this ability can be practiced and controlled properly, it could certainly become an asset for me." Qin Yuesheng waved his hand, and immediately his Inner Strength surged forth, causing the water in the pond to splash and wash away the blood he left on the pebble path, before he headed towards his residence.

...

Swoosh!

The Flame Ghost Venerable quickly flew towards the banks of the Gusu River, wishing only to leave this city as quickly as possible and find a safe place for the transition.

These thirteen old fellows, who had been sealed for hundreds of years, never expected to find themselves in such a sorry state upon escaping the seal, like a homeless dog.

He was among the lucky ones, having barely clung to life, unlike the less fortunate Great Ghost Venerables.

The surface of the Gusu River flickered with a shimmering shadow under the moonlight.

The water rippled, waves undulating across the surface.

Due to the chilly wind, there had been no boatmen guarding the dock late at night for recent days. Unable to find anyone, the Great Ghost Venerable flew directly over the dock, heading straight for the opposite bank of the Gusu River. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As he reached the center of the river, he spotted a gray black-covered boat quietly stationed in these waters, with no sound coming from within.

Around the black-covered boat, the river water turned pitch black like ink, deep and dark.

White arms extended from beneath the river surface, followed by the head of the dead, with messy hair, rising from the water, revealing countless Corpse Ghosts.

"Great Ghost Venerable, take him in."

A sinister voice suddenly came from within the black-covered boat, and a young man with a well-proportioned physique and cold white skin stepped out, standing at the bow and quietly watching the Flame Ghost Venerable.

He wore black robes, his demeanor distinctive, unmistakably extraordinary.

The Flame Ghost Venerable retreated in apprehension, his eyes fixed on the black-covered boat, ready to retaliate at the slightest disturbance.

"Is the mighty Flame Ghost Venerable afraid as well? What a joke! Could it be you've been confined for so long that you've forgotten your former glory?"

Flame Ghost Venerable widened his eyes in disbelief, "You know me?"

"Fully embrace it. The human race holds sway over the world now, and you have limited options," the voice remarked calmly.

After contemplating for a moment, the Flame Ghost Venerable ultimately flew towards the young man at the bow, swiftly swallowing him up.

Soon, the young man's body grew from the Flame Ghost Venerable's severed neck, who forcibly occupied the young man's body through grafting.

"Hmm, it's quite a fine physique," the Flame Ghost Venerable said contentedly, feeling his new body, "Who exactly are you?"

"Come in; we have more important matters to take care of."

The gray black-covered boat drifted away from the Gusu River, eventually disappearing at the river's end.

...

Apart from a few, no one knew the terrifying events that had taken place recently in Cyan Yang City. When the sudden chill departed as abruptly as it had arrived, life in Cyan Yang City returned to its usual calm.

Except for a few, no one knew Cyan Yang City had been on the brink of disaster.

Qin Yuesheng sat in the hall, enjoying sesame cake and snow pear syrup, feeling quite at ease.

A day had passed since the incident at the Cheng Mansion. Xun Sheng had arranged for people to take care of all the follow-up tasks, cleaning up the aftermath so thoroughly that no traces of the battle remained.

Today, Zuo Zonghao, whose injuries had mostly healed, had specially gathered all the surviving officials of the Seven Star Monitor in Cyan Yang City, saying there was to be a council meeting.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng so relaxed and informal, several middle-aged men seated across from him wore strange expressions. They seemed to want to lecture Qin Yuesheng but were held back by the fact that his rank was higher than theirs, preventing them from speaking out.

During that night's battle, except for Qin Yuesheng and Bai Hao, all the Iron Toad officials perished. The remaining Wood Toad officials were of lower rank than Qin Yuesheng, preventing them from reprimanding him without risking charges of insubordination, which they couldn't afford.

"Hasn't Lord Zuo arrived yet? I've been waiting here for quite some time." Tearing another piece off the sesame cake, Qin Yuesheng looked around and asked.

"Please wait a little longer, Lord Qin," Xun Sheng promptly replied.

Ever since Qin Yuesheng became an Iron Toad official, even Xun Sheng's rank as Governor had fallen below his. Consequently, his tone and attitude visibly changed, becoming noticeably more respectful.

"A moment, a moment, and yet another moment," Qin Yuesheng said, taking a sip of syrup, "I've already finished my food."

"Lord Zuo has arrived!"

At this moment, a government official standing at the door suddenly shouted loudly.
