Chapter 368: Piracy

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Unfortunately, all of that could only happen in one place.

And that was the Region!

Yes, all these effects could only occur in the red light-covered Region created by the Fiery Eyes.

Although the Fiery Eyes Region was large enough, the red light would disappear when it reached its limit. But in the beginning, the coquettish red light could not be concealed.

Therefore, to use this Fiery Eyes Region, one really had to be in a place with no one else. One could only use it when having to kill the enemy. If it was used unnecessarily, one would be exposed.

Therefore, although there were other magical uses of this Fiery Eyes Region, in addition to the previous two points, there did not seem to be much use for it, yet it felt too wasteful to discard it.

Moreover, for this month, his Thorn Wheel Fiery Eye Region was considered small. But, in addition to this unusual Region of vision that it offered, he really could not find any other function of the Fiery Eyes.

Now, listening to Green Spirit’s words, Zhou Bao thought carefully, once again activating his Fiery Eyes, and the glamorous red light arose again. But this time, Zhou Bao did not expand them, nor did he focus his attention on the expansion of the red light. Instead, he immersed himself in the vast and boundless space in the Fiery Eyes.

In the hollow, the red and gold eyes were now suspended high in the air, and a faint fog shrouded the center of his pupil. That was the current situation of the Fiery Space.

As Zhou Bao’s spirit and soul immersed into the hollow, there was no movement. The golden red eyes were still hanging, as if they were not meant to do anything.

Zhou Bao gently sighed and placed all of his attention on the eyes hanging in the hollow hoping to gain some inspiration from it.

When Zhou Bao’s attention was fully focused on the golden red eyes, the eyeball initially did not respond. But this time, Zhou Bao did not look away just because of its unresponsiveness, but instead, he focused his attention on it with determination. Using his mental strength, he scanned the eyeball inch by inch and strand by strand until finally, after three hours, he found something unusual.

The eyeball suspended in the air was basically the same as his own Fiery Eyes’ structure. Even the black lines around his pupil were exactly the same as the thorns around his pupil. The only difference was that, in the center of this eyeball, there was an unusual energy pulsating.

Zhou Bao did not dare to disregard this golden red eye. With his divine thoughts, he carefully scrutinized and sensed it for a long time before finally determining that it was a talisman.

Not one, but nine!

Nine entangled talismans, as if grouped in a mess, did not move at all.

Yes, it was arranged together in one spot, but not merged nor fused into one piece. It was like writing a word on a piece of white paper, and then writing another word on it, and then continuing until nine words had been written. The result was that even if the word was written beautifully, it still was unable to be deciphered.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Bao was stunned for a while. He used his divine thoughts again to carefully distinguish the entangled talismans. He only vaguely understood the shape of one of the talismans, but could not determine its exact nature.

After investigating for a while, it seemed like there was nothing else to be gained. He could only sigh, regather his divine thoughts, and open his eyes.

“What is it like? Were there any gains?” Seeing that Zhou Bao has regained his composure, Green Spirit appeared anxious.

“There was no way. I could only find a jumbled talisman!” Zhou Bao gently sighed and flashed a trace of helplessness. He began describing the situation that he had seen in detail and drew out the only talisman that he was able to decipher. “Do you know what this talisman represents?”

“That’s the Golden Thorn Realm!” When he saw the talisman, Green Spirit opened his mouth slightly and his eyes flashed with astonishment. Finally, he sighed and said those five words.

“The Thorn Wheel Fiery Eyes, the Thorn Wheel Fiery Eyes, I see… Those damn necromancers actually cast a spell on your eyes to have nine talismans? I think I understand, I think I understand. No wonder your Fiery Eyes are so powerful—turns out it’s because of the nine talismans!”

“Don’t give me any or your riddles. Just tell me, what’s going on? And what is this Golden Thorn Realm?”

“It’s just one of the effects of your Thorn Wheel Fiery Eye Region. No wonder I always felt that I’d seen it somewhere. Turns out that it’s the Golden Thorn Realm. The field of vision of your eyes is actually the Region of Golden Thorn Realm. That’s all!” Green Spirit whispered and murmured to himself. Finally, he said with a sigh, “Boy, you have such good luck! This Golden Thorn Realm is the strength of the Realm Power of the Innate Deity, and now the core of its curse has been transplanted into your eyes so you will have the Thorn Wheel Realm!”

“The Realm Power of the greatest Innate Deity?”

Having heard Green Spirit’s assessment, Zhou Bao was amazed—that evaluation was too good.

“As for you, don’t think too highly of yourself. The Golden Thorn Realm is the Realm Power of the Innate Deity, but your Thorn Wheel Fiery Eyes Region is just a copy. It’s like the Tusita Fire—they are all replicas. So, even if it can exhibit a bit of the original’s authentic power and embody some genuine attributes, in the end, it is not authentic by nature!” Pausing, he glared and looked deep into the eyes of Zhou Bao. “In the Heavenly Magic Eye, those Fiery Eyes should be made by imitating the Heavenly Magic Eye. It should be based on the power of the Heavenly Magic Eye. But because yours is a replica, it is impossible to display the true power of the Heavenly Magic Eye because those necromancers engineered nine other talismans in, which means that your red eyes are also mimicking the ability of nine other Innate Deities, but you simply can’t display them!”

After listening to this, Zhou Bao’s expression became even more strange.

Was this not retribution?

In his past life, what he loved to do most was to watch pirated discs and read pirated books. Now in this new era, he lived a new life, but all he had were counterfeit goods such as the Fiery Eyes and the Tusita Fire. Even his world of martial arts was a pirated universe—as if he was fated to cross with pirates.

Now, it seemed that the gang of necromancers of antiquity times was, in fact, a gang of pirate traffickers. They warned that the powers of Innate Deities could not be replicated perfectly, but now it turned out that they pirated them one by one just for fun. Zhou Bao felt extremely ashamed.

These two worlds, where he was in now and where he came from, seemed to be fated to cross paths with any form of piracy.

However, although Green Spirit had cleared up this talisman for him, he had not explained how to use his Fiery Eye cloud to realize the Azure Secret Area of the Origin of the Great Way. Zhou Bao could not help feeling anxious.

“Let’s put this Fiery Eyes matter aside first. I still have no idea what the Azure Secret Area’s Origin of the Great Way is. Think about it, what should I do?”

This was the real priority. It could be said that most of the joys and sorrows in the future depended heavily on this matter. He naturally had no alternative than to care about it.

“The key is in your eyes. Now, I understand why the Fiery Eyes can be hooked onto the Golden Book of Fate. Everything is in the eyes, hehe, the Heavenly Magic Eye. It’s not the Fiery Eyes that can morph into the Golden Book of Fate, but rather the Heavenly Magic Eye. Your Fiery Eyes are the foundation of the Heavenly Magic Eye, which allowed for such an effect!” He paused and looked deeply into the eyes of Zhou Bao. “Boy, that Golden Thorn Realm is really powerful, but now the key is the power of the Heavenly Magic Eye. In the end, whatever you did over the past month was all wasted. Now you have to start again!”

“Start over?!” groaned Zhou Bao. “No, I have spent a month’s worth of effort on this pair of eyes to achieve the results so far. How dare you ask me to start over!”

“Then what can you do? Although you have spent a month’s effort, you have taken the wrong path, so of course, you must start over!” Green Spirit was also helpless. “But since we know the usefulness of the Heavenly Magic Eye, I do have a suggestion!”

“Suggestion? What suggestion?!”

“The Heavenly Magic Eye is a congenital gift of the Innate Deity, but even though it is a natural gift, it is not present from birth. It is developed based on gradual realization. You did learn something in the Golden Thorn Realm: Although this celestial vision is not realized in one or two days, but don’t forget, your Heavenly Magic Eye is not real, just the necromancers’ pirated copy. I even suspect that your Heavenly Magic Eye is only a half-formed product that can only exert some of the most basic functions. Therefore, just focus. With the right focus, it should not be difficult to find the core!”

“That’s easy for you to say!”

“I would rather you focus your energy on the essence of heaven and earth. Although I don’t have the Heavenly Magic Eyes, I’ve heard that this heavenly vision is the most sensitive to the induction of the essence of the world. If you do that, maybe you’ll be rewarded!”

“The essence of the world?!”

Zhou Bao nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking. The glamorous redness in his eyes flashed out again. This time, though, it did not burst into a flash of red light.

After listening to Green Spirit’s words, Zhou Bao gradually gathered the strength of the Fiery Eyes into one place. Then, he looked toward the Essential Qi Tide.

The Essential Qi Tide stirred just like the way that mud at the bottom of an originally calm pool usually would. All kinds of inexplicable pneuma were stirred up. Under the keen sight of the Fiery Eyes, he clearly saw that the Spiritual Qi and Evi Qi were also alright, suffocating it, slamming in one place, as if thousands of tiny lines were wrapped around one another. It was also like maltose sugar with its multiple layers. After stirring up one layer after another, he had some headaches, but gradually, he began to see a clue.
