Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 216, Illusion Realm

"Spiritual Eye Profound Technique" is one of the rare Earth Level Low Tier cultivation techniques in the Seven Star Sword Sect. Unlike other techniques that temper spiritual power, this one nurtures eyesight, allowing the user to create countless illusions with just a glance.

The first six layers of the "Spiritual Eye Profound Technique" focus on nurturing, and do not yet possess much destructive power. However, once cultivated to the Seventh Layer, the Pursuer of Heart can completely manipulate countless illusions and confuse enemies.

It could be said that cultivating the "Spiritual Eye Profound Technique" to the Seventh Layer elevates the Pursuer of Heart’s destructive power to a whole new level.

"No problem!"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said in a low voice. Although thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones made his heart ache, he could still produce them. Over the years, he had accumulated over fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones in the Seven Star Sword Sect.

"Good!"

The Pursuer of Heart nodded. He did not immediately demand the thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones from Lin Qing, intending to demand them after assisting him with his grievance. He was not worried about Lin Qing defaulting, as Lin Qing did not have the courage to do so.

Before long, the waiter brought a few jugs of White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine to their table and gently placed them down, then retreated to the side.

"Good wine!"

The Pursuer of Heart took a sip of the White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine and couldn’t help but praise it. Even though he had tasted many wines more precious than White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine, he could not deny that the White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine had its own unique qualities.

"Come, come, let’s eat!"

Thinking about the upcoming moment when the Pursuer of Heart would teach Chu Ming a lesson, Lin Qing felt much relieved of his resentment and began to invite the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples around him to eat and drink.

After drinking seven jugs of White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine, Chu Ming felt satisfied. He went to the counter to pay, but in the end, he also bought ten jugs of White Cloud Flying Spirit Wine and put them in his Storage Ring for future use.

"He’s leaving!"

Seeing Chu Ming leave the Gathering Immortals Tower, Lin Qing reminded the Pursuer of Heart. The Pursuer of Heart nodded and stood up, slowly following Chu Ming, always keeping a distance of ten meters.

Walking through the crowded streets, Chu Ming turned to head back to the Lin Family. But as he turned the corner, his peripheral vision noticed a white-clad figure not hiding at all, trailing behind him.

His eyes flashed slightly. Chu Ming did not immediately return to the Lin Family but instead headed out of Black Dragon City.

With just a few fleeting thoughts, Chu Ming could almost completely guess the situation. To be honest, the strength of the Pursuer of Heart barely caught his attention. To make him fearful was impossible.

Moreover, since his breakthrough, he hadn’t made a move yet. He didn’t know how strong he had become. The current ill intentions of the Pursuer of Heart provided a perfect opportunity to test his strength.

Fighting was not allowed in Black Dragon City; otherwise, the Guard Army would take them to the dungeon.

"Hmm? Did he discover me?"

The Pursuer of Heart watched as Chu Ming suddenly changed his route. His eyes flashed. Originally, he had planned to find an excuse to challenge Chu Ming outside Black Dragon City, as private fights were not allowed in the city. However, unexpectedly, Chu Ming began walking out of the city on his own.

After leaving the city, there was a vast plain that stretched for miles, a gray expanse with no end in sight.

"Come out!"

Chu Ming gazed calmly at a certain spot in space. With his sharp Soul Power, he clearly sensed a faint spiritual power fluctuation there. Although slight, it couldn’t escape his perception.

"Heh, no wonder you could make Lin Qing suffer. You do have some means!"

A light laugh came from the space. The space rippled slightly, and the white-robed Pursuer of Heart emerged from the void. His gaze towards Chu Ming became more cautious. Being able to easily spot his hiding place, if he still saw Chu Ming as an ordinary person, he would definitely be a fool.

"You must be a disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect?"

Chu Ming asked calmly, his eyes slightly narrowing as they glanced at the seven stars on the Pursuer of Heart’s chest.

"Pursuer of Heart, Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect!"

The Pursuer of Heart slowly drew a purple longsword from his back. The hilt was engraved with numerous intricate patterns, and countless purple currents continuously shuttled across the blade.

Although his eyes could create countless illusions, his swordsmanship was also strong. After all, he was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect. Moreover, combining swordsmanship with the Spiritual Eyes often produced unexpected results.

Whizz whizz whizz!

While the two were confronting each other, seven or eight figures quickly flew out of Black Dragon City. When they got within a hundred meters of Chu Ming and the Pursuer of Heart, their faces became clear. They were led by Lin Qing and included seven or eight inner sect disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect.

"Now, if you kneel and kowtow to Lin Qing a few times, perhaps I will spare your life!"

The Pursuer of Heart said viciously. At the same time, his eyes became illusory, and a faint green light flickered. While appearing fierce on the surface, he had unknowingly activated his Spiritual Eyes.

"Soul Secret Technique?"

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. In that moment, he distinctly felt a slight fluctuation in his Sea of Souls, indicating that there had been a Soul Power attack.

Clang!

As Chu Ming momentarily froze, the purple longsword in the Pursuer of Heart’s hand transformed into a purple electric serpent, darting towards Chu Ming in an instant, with tiny sword lights breaking off the tip.

Whoosh!

Without drawing his sword or retreating, Chu Ming slowly extended his hand, and a formless Qi Sword shot out from his fingertip, with its mighty blade tearing through the air.

The Pursuer of Heart’s mouth curled into a cold smile. Condensing a sword with one’s finger was something he could also do, but the power he could unleash was limited, not even a tenth of his full strength. Seeing Chu Ming trying to block his attack with a finger sword, he was certain of Chu Ming’s defeat.

Slash!

Chu Ming gently moved his fingers, sending a fierce Qi Force slicing through the air, destroying the purple sword light along with it.

Thud...

The Pursuer of Heart’s eyes were filled with shock. His purple longsword was deflected, and a Qi Sword suddenly appeared in front of his chest. In a flash, a blood gash appeared, with drops of fresh blood dripping from it.

"Illusion!"

Chu Ming’s attack power made the Pursuer of Heart feel fear. Knowing that his Sword Dao posed no threat to Chu Ming, he instantly activated his Spiritual Eyes.

The Spiritual Eyes, in a way, served as a Soul Attack Secret Technique. However, unlike conventional soul attacks, their effect was to immerse the martial artist in an illusion, making them unable to break free.

An illusory aura emanated from the Pursuer of Heart’s eyes, enveloping Chu Ming as if to construct a world for him.
