Finally, Lin Hui bit off the remaining golden coral, chewed it up and swallowed it in a few bites. As he watched the evolution time of the blood mark below his field of vision rapidly shorten, his anxiety lessened slightly.
The reappearance of the Seven Destruction True Monarch means that the Nine Heavens Gate is getting closer and closer to passing through this rift.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why it didn't appear for the previous five years, and why the Seven Annihilations reappeared so soon after the crack appeared.
Judging from the information about the Nine Heavens Sect in his mind, the Seven Extinction True Monarch should have already merged into the Wind Disaster and disappeared. Within the sect, he should have only become a name left behind in legends. So why has he now crossed over to this realm and been found on his behalf?
This just doesn't look right.
laugh.
He was slightly distracted when suddenly the blood-stained text flashed, interrupting his thoughts.
Coming to his senses, Lin Hui carefully observed the new changes in the bloodstain.
'The Eye of Life has evolved. You may now choose one of your eyes to modify. Please make your selection within ten seconds.' The Blood Seal notification is flashing below your field of vision.
Lin Hui didn't hesitate and chose the left eye directly.
As a right-handed person, I habitually use the left side as the less frequently used direction.
After issuing the definite command in my mind, a tingling and itchy sensation came from my left eye.
The tingling and itching lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.
Everything seemed to have been normal, but Lin Hui moved with lightning speed and appeared in front of the full-length mirror in the room in the blink of an eye.
Upon opening my eyes and observing, I noticed that my left eye had a slightly redder tinge than my right eye.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand, and all the curtains in the room automatically closed, dimming the light considerably.
At this moment, in the mirror, deep within the pupil of my left eye, I could clearly see an extremely fine red thread slowly moving and glowing.
He mentally retrieved the blood seal and examined the information related to it.
'Eye of Life: While collecting natural radiation, at the current speed, a second life regeneration effect can be obtained after three years. Current life regeneration count: 1.'
Life Regeneration Effect: Upon active activation, completely restores the body and mind within one second. No side effects. Reduces the number of uses of the Eye of Life by one after use. Can be granted to other members of the Qingfeng Dao. Automatically expires upon losing the Qingfeng Dao's approval.
'Does it come with one regeneration cycle by default?' Lin Hui nodded in satisfaction.
The biggest difference between him and the Mistman is their regenerative abilities; the Mistman is practically indestructible. Even he can only seal them away. Therefore, he cannot afford to lose even once.
The other fogmen can die or be injured countless times, but he only needs to be injured once to be at a complete disadvantage.
Therefore, this ability of the Eye of Life to compensate for his shortcomings is crucial to him and to the entire Qingfeng Dao.
'Next, I'll find an opportunity to pass on this knowledge to the core disciples, and at the same time, I should persuade my family members to join the sect.'
Composing himself, Lin Hui's expression turned solemn as he began the next and most important evolution.
'If concepts can evolve out of thin air, then what if I evolve using myself as the medium?'
He raised his hand—no, his hand served too many purposes; if it got injured…
Immediately, he gently picked up a strand of hair.
He focused his mind to narrow the scope, using the hair as the target, and directly activated the evolution of the blood seal.
hiss.
One second later, the Blood Seal provided evolution information.
'1. Iron Hair: Long hair as strong and resilient as iron.'
'2. Soft hair: Beautiful long hair that is exceptionally smooth and free of frizz.'
'3. Glue-coated hair: Long, gel-like hair that will never deform and will always maintain its shape.'
Lin Hui was speechless. He should have realized that the evolution of the blood seal was not something he could decide on his own, but rather something that was extended or strengthened by certain attributes of the thing itself.
And the properties of hair.
Left with no other choice, he attempted to create a secret technique, similar to the Eye of Life, and then use it as a vehicle for evolution.
After fiddling around for a while, he still couldn't come up with a secret technique to seal the rift in the windstorm. Although he could directly evolve using the relic he had previously used to seal the rift, he was still unwilling to give up.
Relics are ultimately disposable items, but secret techniques can be used indefinitely and repeatedly.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly found a way to save himself a lot of effort.
'Since we can't figure it out ourselves, we should seek help from the collective wisdom. The Federation has been sealing various fortresses for thousands of years; we should be able to find some secret methods for sealing the Purgatory and the Extreme Cold.'
Without hesitation, he told Li Yuanyuan and Feng Ling what he was doing and headed straight for the Moon Tower, where the Black Cloud's internal rare library housed a vast collection of books and materials gathered by the three city lords and many blood ancestors.
Among these, various martial arts techniques and secret methods are naturally of paramount importance. Previously, Lin Hui was not qualified to enter, and didn't even know where they were located. But now, as the deputy city lord, he naturally possesses free access to these things.
Although the position of honorary deputy city lord has no real power, its benefits in all aspects are truly impeccable.
This library even contains various divine techniques passed down from Tu Yue, all of which are completely free for Lin Hui. Only some unique divine techniques and secret methods secretly passed down by the Rain Palace Federation are kept confidential.

The howling wind made the buildings on the withered and flourishing island sway and creak.
Even some stone houses were making faint cracking sounds as the stones were being squeezed together.
In the center of town, Xia Si was surrounded by Su Yaping and Yun Xiazi. The terrifying mental pressure emanating from the three of them caused the people around them to flee as if their lives depended on it.
Some who were caught off guard and got too close had no time to escape and could only be pressed to the ground, unable to move.
This was a pure mental pressure, a huge mental disparity, that made it impossible for ordinary martial artists to even keep an eye on the three of them.
Just hearing their voices was like being struck by a heavy hammer; a few words were enough to knock him unconscious.
This resulted in the pressure released by the three of them, even with only a little bit of their cultivation, suppressing all living things within a radius of several hundred meters, rendering them unable to move.
The town, which had been bustling and lively just moments before, fell completely silent in an instant.
Only the sea breeze swirled and howled in the air.
"You did this on purpose?" Su Yaping frowned. This indiscriminate release of mental pressure was meaningless to experts of their level.
Under normal circumstances, when facing opponents of the same or even stronger level, this kind of diluted mental release is like a gentle breeze to the opponent.
Only through intense compression and concentration of mind, and point-to-point attack and pressure, can a certain degree of suppression be achieved.
At this moment, facing the two of them blocking her way, Xia Si directly manipulated her mind to guide them to release the area of pressure together, which must have been for a purpose.
“Senior Sister Xia is an unprecedented genius in our sect. Her actions must have their own calculations,” Yun Xiazi said with a light laugh from the other side. “Now that the Dao Lord wants you to return, if you are unwilling, then there is no need to hesitate. Just take action.”
Xia Si's expression was cold as she sensed the two men's undisguised powerful auras, wondering why they were so confident.
"Two defeated opponents, do you think that joining forces with me will be enough to suppress me? Could it be that the Dao Lord gave you some kind of trump card?"
"Further words are pointless." Su Yaping asked one last time, "Senior Sister Xia, are you truly unwilling to accompany us to see the Dao Master?"
"Dao Master? Heh, that position will be mine sooner or later!" Xia Si sneered.
She was extremely conflicted and torn.
Since regaining her memories, she has harbored extreme hostility towards Lin Hui and desires revenge.
However, if her hostility towards Lin Hui extends to Qingfeng Dao, she will instantly lose the huge amplification of her magic seal, her strength will drop by several realms rapidly, and she will also lose the terrifying bonus to her comprehension.
This is something she doesn't want to see.
So after much thought, she came up with a roundabout solution. As long as she remained loyal to the Qingfeng Sect, acknowledged herself as a member of the Qingfeng Sect, and seized Lin Hui's position as sect leader, she could overcome her fear and avenge her former clan.
In fact, she agreed with this approach deep down, because martial arts are martial arts, and people are people.
It's not reasonable to hate all the martial arts a person learns just because you dislike them.
Therefore, she began to use this as her guiding principle from a very early age, fighting, killing, comprehending, and becoming stronger.
What I fear most is that one day I will lose the blessing of the Qingfeng Dao's Dharma Seal. That's why I must seize the moment and recklessly use the Dharma Seal to improve myself and gain more.
However, as time went by, and as she gained more and more understanding of the Gale Sword Technique and her strength grew, her fear of Dao Lord Lin Hui deepened day by day.
The more she practiced martial arts, the more she realized the terrifying foundation contained within these martial arts, secret techniques, and seals.
“Senior Sister Xia, the past is the past. You shouldn’t hold onto past grudges,” Yun Xiazi said softly. “With your beauty, you might just be the type the Dao Lord likes. Why don’t we form a partnership and go back to serve the Dao Lord, bearing him dozens of offspring? With your physique, in a few decades, perhaps a new clan will reappear in the world. When the clan reappears, its bloodline will be stronger than before. With the Dao Lord’s protection and a solid backing, it’s not impossible for it to grow stronger and even establish its own city.”
Even though Su Yaping already knew that Yun Xiazi was mentally ill, she was still stunned by this statement.
Xia Si was so surprised by Yun Xiazi's wild idea that she didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"You're probably mentally unstable!?" She hesitated for a few seconds before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.
“You don’t understand. Ever since I avenged my great enemy, the more I follow the Dao Master, the more I can feel that absolute and powerful aura that naturally emanates from within! That’s how nature works. Survival of the fittest. As long as you acquire such a powerful bloodline.” Yunxiazi was still planning to promote her theory of bloodline continuation.
But Xia Si, who had already grown impatient, roared at her.
"Enough!" Without hesitation, she sprang up and flew straight to the sea in the distance to her left.
Su Yaping and Yun Xiazi had been watching her closely, and they also rose up from the ground to catch up.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three knew each other intimately, having sparred and exchanged blows for years. At this moment, three magical seals simultaneously transformed into golden runes behind them, condensing and suspending. Their bodies also rapidly expanded, each movement carrying highly condensed and compressed illusory and true power.
The three collided at lightning speed in an instant, overlapping at a single point.
boom!!!
"Wind!" X3.
Three terrifying tornadoes, each over a thousand meters high, rose from the sea, sweeping up the water and soaring into the sky.
The central tornado is light gold, while the two tornadoes before and after it are light blue-gray.
Three tornadoes collided and squeezed at high speed.
If someone were to get close enough to observe, they would discover that at the point where the three tornadoes meet, countless electric arcs and sparks are being generated.
Those were terrifying sparks generated from the high-speed collision of the three swords.
