Chapter 287: Togan of the Changshou Tong Race

Dense Qi encircled Lu Zheng's entire body as he traversed the sandy earth of Dahuang Plains.

The earth path dao imprints of Dahuang Plains were very plenty and could refine every other thing into grains of sand. Because of this, Lu Zheng had to protect his body with his Qi to avoid a fatal ending.

If it was not for his fragmented Qi fruit, Lu Zheng would have run out of Qi already.

"Swoosh~"

All of a sudden, strong winds blew into Lu Zheng's face as great amounts of sand were lifted into the air. The winds blew fiercely and even more sand was lifted, creating a great sandstorm within mere moments.

"Oh no! These are Dahuang winds!"

Lu Zheng's expression paled. This was the second time he was experiencing the Dahuang winds and the last time, he had nearly lost his life.

He tried to channel his Qi but it was useless. The moment it came out of his meridians, it would turn into grains of sand that added to the sandstorm.

Lu Zheng shook visibly. He could not walk properly not to mention running and because of the Dahuang winds, he could not channel his Qi.

His battle strength had fallen to ground zero.

The Dahuang winds blew fiercely and sand formed into strong boulders. The smallest sand boulder was the size of a small house.

Before Lu Zheng knew it, he was blown into the air as his body moved to and fro without control. A large boulder struck his head and he lost his consciousness immediately.

Time passed and the Dahuang winds moved on. Only after a week did they dissipate and settle. Lu Zheng's body fell to the golden sands of Dahuang Plains.

A few moments later, space tore into a white gate a short distance away from Lu Zheng's unconscious body to reveal ten members of the Changshou Tong Race.

The members of the Changshou Tong Race were stunned by their surroundings and they spoke amongst themselves.

"Sand?! The next trial is sand?!" Yajima burst out quizzically.

"This isn't just sand" Makato mumbled as the vertical slit in his forehead opened to reveal his red fore-eye.

The three black rings in the fore-eye began to rotate before stopping after suddenly transforming. Other than the smallest ring, the other two rings were missing. In their place were symbols that resembled thunderbolts.

If a random person was to look into Makato's fore-eye, their soul would be blasted into nothingness.

"That's the mystical eye of our Changshou Tong Race, the Togan!" Aimi suddenly exclaimed.

"So the rumours are true. Makato really is a genius unseen in a thousand years" Yajima added.

They all knew what the Togan was. The Changshou Tong Race was a race with exceptionally strong souls, second only to the Spirit Race in that regard. However, unlike the other races of the main world, their bloodline abilities and bloodline techniques were sealed in their fore-eye. Only at the age of seven would they be able to open their fore-eye.

The grade of their fore-eyes varied with colour with white representing the weakest potential and red being the strongest. In between were blue, green and purple.

In their fore-eyes were also rings and intricate patterns, each representing a certain bloodline ability. A person could only have three rings in their fore-eye with an unlimited number of patterns.

Other than these was a special fore-eye unique to the Changshou Tong Race – the Togan. According to the beliefs of the Changshou Tong Race, the Togan was the representation of absolute power and it was first seen in the fore-eye of their progenitor – Changshou Tong.

The Togan was so rare and so strong that whoever could attain it would be made the current generation Patriarch, having power to lead the entire Changshou Tong Race however they seemed fit.

Makato was one such a person.

Using his Togan, Makato could peer at the secrets of the world. Soon, he spoke: "This is a Secluded Domain of Heaven and Earth"

"What is that?" Aimi asked.

"It is a special place with unbelievably high dao imprints accumulation" Makato thought for a while before adding. "Like that river we went to"

Aimi made an inaudible 'oh' when Makato stopped speaking.

"Wait. Someone else is here… a human"
