What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Chapter 84 Origin Heaven Divine Eye

Ultimately, it was because he himself was not strong enough. Zhong Hui felt quite helpless and let out a soft sigh.

To be fair, his cultivation speed has far surpassed that of ordinary people. In just over a month, he broke through two realms and reached the ultimate realm. Now he is even preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Unfortunately, every enemy he encountered was far beyond his limits, and no matter how much he improved his cultivation, he could never overcome the gap.

This is also the helplessness and sorrow of countless peerless geniuses.

Even if you are exceptionally talented and have shone throughout history, starting your cultivation late is your biggest weakness.

Throughout history, countless brilliant talents have met with regret and fallen short of their potential because of this.

The Wish Witch of today has reached the Refinement of Void realm in cultivation and controls the laws of cause and effect, such as the Supreme Law. By spreading wish notes, she can easily slaughter living beings.

For Zhong Hui, who isn't even a Golden Core cultivator, finding her would be incredibly difficult.

He closed his eyes and pondered, his mind racing through various possible solutions. His experience of 500,000 years was now fully at work. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he took out the bloodstained note.

The paper was wrinkled and shriveled, and the bloodstains had long since dried, turning into a dark, deep red.

Judging from the spiritual energy alone, this is just an ordinary piece of paper, which could be burned by an ordinary flame.

But with just this ordinary piece of paper, the Wish Witch is able to kill people using cause and effect. At the same time, this is also the only key clue that can be used to track down the Wish Witch.

The previously silent system suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and woke up on its own, eagerly asking: "Master, are you planning to do something outrageous again?"

"You've become quite clever since I last saw you."

I knew it!

The system was internally screaming in frustration.

Having spent so much time with its host, it had completely figured out Zhong Hui's personality. He seemed abstract and unreliable on ordinary days, but once he suddenly quieted down, he was definitely brewing some big move. Nothing about him was easy to deal with.

It still remembers the perilous situation it faced in Tai'an County last time, when it and its host almost perished.

Trying to calm her inner panic, the system tentatively asked, "Master, what do you plan to do this time?"

"Hehe, it seems you have suffered too much damage, and have even forgotten a wonderful technique that I possess."

Zhong Hui stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. He slowly spoke: "Back then, I passed through the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and transcended the mortal realm to ascend to heaven. But the heavenly tribulation lightning and fire burned away all the treasures and resources on my body. All my accumulations were wiped out, and I stepped into the spirit realm alone with nothing."

"At that time, gambling on stones was popular in the Spirit Realm, and countless treasures were hidden in ancient mines. Phoenix blood, divine bones, innate essence... any one of them was enough to exchange for endless cultivation resources."

"I happened to acquire a special eye technique in the mortal realm, which allows me to see through illusions and trace the origin of all things. It was with this strange eye technique that I started my career in the spirit realm by gambling on stones, accumulating enough cultivation resources, and eventually stepping into the heavens."

He paused briefly, then spoke with resounding conviction, revealing the true name of the secret technique:

"This technique is called the Origin Heaven Divine Eye."

[What are the side effects of Master practicing this technique?] The system asked a question that was of particular concern.

"To cultivate this method, one must first ripen the stone gall, then cut it open and drip the golden juice inside into the eyes. During the process of the juice entering the eyes, the eyes will be eroded. If one can endure it, one can initially cultivate divine eyes; if one cannot endure it... one will never be able to see the myriad phenomena of the heavens and the rivers again in this life."

After hearing the explanation, the system breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly unconcerned.

Ultimately, it's just about putting eye drops on the eyes. According to the worldview woven by the host, there's no way this could fail.

Master, I believe in you!

It will fully support you as long as you don't intentionally commit suicide or directly confront a powerful enemy.

"But to accelerate the ripening of the stone gall, a large array must be set up, supported by a massive amount of spirit stones or pure spiritual energy," Zhong Hui sighed, revealing the key problem.

After going around in circles, we've come full circle: insufficient strength and a lack of resources.

With his current cultivation level, he is unable to use his own spiritual energy to accelerate the ripening of the stone gall.

Most importantly, there are no spirit stones in this world. The only substitute is the Seed of Sorrow obtained by slaying calamity beasts, which is also known as a demon core. However, he is extremely short of this.

Compared to Zhong Hui's headache, the system seemed quite relaxed.

There's no better option. All it hopes for now is for its host to steadily improve their strength and reach the top of the magical girl realm as soon as possible. This way, it can complete the mission without having to live in constant fear of accidentally kicking its own grave.

【Master, perhaps we should let it slide this time and deal with the Wish-Granting Witch later.】

Zhong Hui remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If this demon is not eliminated, my conscience will not be at peace."

But now...

"No need to say more, I already have a plan in mind." Zhong Hui raised his hand to interrupt the spirit's advice.

He then took out his phone and expressed his thoughts.

Before long, the dozens of magical girls who had been scattered in various areas to investigate all gathered together.

Fei Ye looked Zhong Hui up and down, her eyes full of doubt: "Are you sure that as long as we have enough Sorrow Seeds, we can find the whereabouts of the Wish Witch?"

"I am only saying that there is a certain possibility." After all, he is a Void Refinement Realm expert, and Zhong Hui does not dare to make a guarantee.

"Hey." Cang Xing grabbed Zhong Hui's hand, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You better be serious this time. This is not the time to fool around."

“I have never acted recklessly.” Zhong Hui withdrew his hand, his expression serious.

Sousei wanted to persuade her again, but Chika stopped her.

On the other side, Fei Ye was repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.

The Seed of Grief is of paramount importance to every magical girl, equivalent to the continuation of life.

However, if we can find the wishing witch through this opportunity, it would be worth the cost. But I'm afraid it will all be for nothing.

“Feiye, I don’t think this matter is very safe. Why don’t we report it to Lord Xiao Henu and let her make arrangements?” Yunya, a girl in purple, suggested from the side.

“I think we should give it a try,” said Mu Furong with twin ponytails, who had a different opinion. “If we can find the Wish Witch, it will be a great achievement that can make up for the losses and save the lives of many ordinary people in Jiangbei.”

While everyone was discussing, Zhong Hui stood quietly.

For him, success and failure both have their advantages and disadvantages.

If this fails, he will lose his sight completely and will also needlessly offend the magical girls present.

If successful, he could not only cultivate the Origin Heaven Divine Eye for free, but also pinpoint the location of the Wish Witch and seek justice for the innocent and tragically killed Zhang Yun.

After a few minutes of silent deliberation, Fei Ye raised her eyes, her gaze becoming incredibly firm.

"Try it once."

She spoke in a deep, unyielding voice: "As long as we can find the hidden Wish Witch and save more innocent ordinary people, it's worth sacrificing some Seeds of Sorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out six B-grade Lament Seeds. Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the other magical girls also took out their own treasured portions.

In a short time, Zhong Hui had collected eighty stones.

"I can never do anything with you, but I can never find a reason to refuse you." Cangxing still felt that Zhong Hui was being too ridiculous, but she still took out ten Lament Seeds at once, making her the person who contributed the most.

Chika followed suit and took out nine.

At this point, Zhong Hui had accumulated a total of ninety-nine Seeds of Sorrow.

For magical girls below five stars, such a quantity is an absolutely terrifyingly huge fortune.

Zhong Hui sensed the immense spiritual energy within the Seed of Lamentation and quickly estimated it in his mind. He felt it was enough to ripen the stone gall. As for the stone gall he needed, he didn't need to bother searching for it. He had just happened to have obtained one when he went up the mountain to collect herbs before.

Everything is ready now, except for ripening the stone gall and opening the divine eye.

"This place is too crowded and not suitable for performing magic. We will find a secluded and deserted place, and we would also like to trouble you all to protect me."

"Can't you just speak properly?" Fei Ye couldn't stand this way of speaking any longer and complained.

"Haha, he's always like this, don't mind him, let's go." Cang Xing laughed and smoothed things over, pulling Zhong Hui away.

Chapter 85 Maturation of Gallstones

At the top of a skyscraper, a carefree-looking girl sat on the edge of the building, her legs dangling in the air, gently swaying, softly humming an ancient folk song from her hometown.

She greedily savored the beauty of the world, and the smile on her lips grew even sweeter and brighter.

Compared to five years ago, the blue sky and white clouds in this place are even clearer and more beautiful. Whenever a gentle breeze blows, the air seems to be filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, which can soothe all the worries in one's heart.

This is a wonderful and intoxicating world.

In order to obtain this pure land, countless witches embarked on a journey, only to perish far from home.

She was one of the souls who perished back then.

Twelve years have passed since the invasion.

This low-dimensional world, once considered weak and vulnerable by witches, not only did not fall, but instead received assistance from higher dimensions, becoming increasingly powerful and even defeating many witches, forcing them to retreat to their ancestral land.

However, the girl believed that all of this was only temporary.

The witch army will eventually return, completely purging all sinful lives from this world, monopolizing this pure and beautiful realm, and indulging in everything within it.

"You seem to be living a very comfortable and easy life."

A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind, breaking the brief tranquility of the rooftop.

The girl let the breeze slip through her fingers, a faint smile on her face: "Having been given a second life, I should naturally enjoy it to the fullest."

"It's nothing but a mirage."

The girl who appeared was covered in mechanical artifacts, and her tone was cold and devoid of human emotion, "Wish, you've just gained life and you've already violated the rules set by Otto, leaving the divine realm without permission. Do you want to die again?"

"You came all this way just to check on me? Chuangzao, I never expected you to be so kind."

Xu Yuan looked surprised, but replied in a nonchalant tone: "Actually, whether we live or die, as you said, our lives are just an illusion. Rather than wasting our time by adhering to boring rules, we might as well embrace the beauty of this world. Even if it comes at a price, I'm willing to pay it."

“You’re still as sick as ever,” Creation added. “No wonder you were killed by Xiao Henu.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Xu Yuan's face vanished instantly.

Her expression was grim, and her tone was mad: "Now that I've been reborn, this time I'll turn Jiangbei upside down! Do you think Xiao Henu would be happy if I used the lives of all the people in this city as a gift for her?"

"You can't beat her. You'll just die again," Creation coldly retorted. "How many people have you already killed?"

"Let me count," Xu Yuan said, lowering his head and innocently counting on his fingers. "It seems like there are almost two thousand. It's just a pity that we were exposed too early this time, which alerted Xiao Henu. The whole city is on high alert, and the wishing paper is not so easy to spread. It's really worrying."

"Go back with me."

"Is this Otto's order?"

"No. He's been busy with another important matter lately and doesn't have time to keep an eye on us."

"Then I have even less reason to obey orders. That so-called divine kingdom is too fake; this world is full of reality and wonder."
