Heavenly Eye Technique

After taking the pills I immediately felt hot. This went on for a day. I could feel my cultivation rising rapidly. I was quite thankful I only used one of these pills for the moment. I had directly risen to the 2nd layer Initial Element.

These pills are powerful but aside from the amazing effects it had Initially, there was a lingering effect that would help boost one's cultivation over time.

"Still be careful of the impurities. Every pill has a small amount of impurities. So it's best not to rely too heavily on these supplements." Master Feng said, appearing. She was highly protective of me now that the well known bully had not only targeted me in the past, but is now in the most angst filled Realm.

That's right the bully that had come after me the very moment I left the cultivation garden before. The separation and reunion realm was nothing to scoff at. Though I didn't need to worry about it this time.

"Master Feng, is wise. I will follow the master's instructions." I said, greeting her.

"Good. Quickly come with me. The ceremony will begin shortly." She said, implying something.

"Master means… Oh, Master is now the new Palace master?" I said, asking to confirm everything.

Master Feng smiled, picking me up to fly over. I was now able to see the Palace from above for the first time. It was beautiful and almost made me forget that below housed that idiot bully and his lackeys.

"I wonder how long it will take me to fly around like this, Master." I said, enjoying the breeze and the view.

"Once you achieve the True Element Realm you will naturally be capable of flying. With your talent and drive I believe it will take you at most 10 years to achieve this realm." Master Feng said, smiling. "Perhaps he could do it in half the time, but it would be for the best if he doesn't receive any extra encouragement. He's the type to do things in half the time." She thought to herself thankful she didn't say 5 years.

"Then I won't hold back and drive myself forward. Hehehe" I said giggling a little bit.

The ceremony was filled with many people and their disciples. Even some of the rich mortals came to watch the change of leadership. It was basically just a large party. Followed by a speech.

"As of today I pass on the title and authority of Palace Master. The one that will be taking this role is none other than my very own daughter." The Old man said. He was quite old even for a Cultivator. But he was simply just bored out of his mind being the Palace Master. It was time to hand over this role.

"This Daughter is willing to accept." Master Feng said, cupping her hands and bowing respectfully to her father.

"Good. Now, I can go have some fun! Woo-Hoo!" He said leaving the Palace Master token in her hands. He then skipped off to the side as if the heaviest burden had been removed from his shoulders. It was the kind of reaction like an old man got his youth back.

"Elders, Deacons and Protectors. This is a heavy burden. I will do my best to lead our Purple Phoenix Palace. I know with all of the masters of our fine Palace we will soar into the future. We will not let our Ancestors down." Master Feng said, displaying the sect master token close to her heart.

"Glory to the Ancestors!"

"Prosperity for the Descendants!"

"Glory to the Ancestors!"

"Prosperity for the Descendants!"

"Glory to the Ancestors!"

"Prosperity for the Descendants!"

Everyone chanted these things with great vigor. "Now let us commence with the honorable matches." Master Feng said, motioning the several Elders to begin the Entertainment matches. This was done for many reasons. However, This provided me the opportunity to see what a fight between powerful masters would be like.

All of the masters that fought were Saint Kings and Origin Returning Realms. The reason why was simple. Anything less and the fights wouldn't be interesting, and anything more and not everyone would be able to enjoy the show. So compared to where I was sitting the fights were earth shattering. Where my Master sat they might as well be little children playing with sticks in the woods.

I watched these matches as closely as possible. I thought it was odd but it seems that even just watching a fight helped to raise my cultivation. Seeing this I stood up and watched closely. Running simulations of each battle. I tried to fill in the gaps of the moves I couldn't see.

"Are you alright, my disciple?" Master Feng asked. She could tell something was happening. It was as if she could see my Qi rising rapidly while the fights went on. "Are you having trouble seeing?"

"This disciple can't see all of the fight. But if I close my right eye. I can make out a bunch of different moves. It almost becomes clearer." I said, turning around to look at her.

"That's an Eye technique, called the 'Heavenly Eye'. Hmm. I didn't expect you to acquire it so quickly. That is most beneficial for you. Just make sure you are careful." Master Feng said.

"What is this Heavenly Eye technique?" I asked, surprised it was something I already had. I don't remember practicing any eye techniques.

"It is a technique born of your sacred body. It allows you to perceive and adapt to the circumstances more easily. With this technique your cultivation journey will be relatively smooth. It also allows you to perceive through a certain amount of restrictions and techniques. Use this time to pay attention to the matches. You should try to activate the other eye as well. For now make this your goal." Master Feng said, explaining the technique to me.

I turned and looked at the matches between the Saint Kings. Slowly but surely my Qi rose. It was like my body was thinking it needed to adapt to fight at hand. Truly frightening. But I loved it. So this was my small cheat. While it's helpful for growth it is pathetically slow by comparison to legendary treasures like the lotuses. Or that special tree. It's not even as good as a divine spirit bloodline. However, it was enough. I could make this work somehow. I just needed to gain full control of this method.
