Chapter 1037

A purple Wu Yin stuck to his forehead, and instantly a flood of information poured into Xu Jingming's mind.

Almost in an instant, he understood the effect and cultivation method of this SSR-level combat technique.

The SSS-level Tianji Eye can discern an enemy's weaknesses; the Ziwei Eye adds one more ability—'Prediction'!

Yes, it is a power similar to Emos's SSS-level ability, 'Eye of Fate'.

Of course, this is a weakened effect by countless times.

The very creation of such a combat technique undoubtedly demonstrates Emos's extraordinary brilliance.

"However, the Ziwei Eye imposes no requirements on abilities or domains, but demands that the Tianji Eye be cultivated to perfection before one can begin."

Very few possess the willpower to meet this requirement.

Of my three senior brothers and sisters, only Moon Shadow Divine Official met this requirement."

According to the Ziwei Eye's combat technique description, its cultivation difficulty is several times greater than that of the Tianji Eye!

Under normal circumstances, Xu Jingming, after obtaining the Wu Yin, would need at least a year of grueling practice just to barely enter the beginner stage and reach beginner proficiency.

Fortunately, he is no ordinary person.

"Shenlan!"

He silently thought the name and immediately selected point allocation.

Energy Points -120,000!

Ziwei Eye → Ziwei Eye (Beginner)!

Whoosh—

In an instant, Xu Jingming's eyes grew deep and ethereal, a touch of noble purple swirling at their core.

This state resembled the Tianji Eye, but was far more advanced.

Xu Jingming, with the Ziwei Eye activated, gazed at Su Qingli.

He could easily see through the spiritual energy swirling around her, and beneath her battle suit.

The SS-level Shangqing Shenlei covering her curvaceous, exquisite frame, serving as a second layer of defense.

With just one glance, Xu Jingming saw numerous weaknesses on Su Qingli's body.

Countless future fragments related to her surfaced one after another.

Yet these fragments were all blurry, offering only vague impressions, impossible to see clearly.

"According to Lord Hei Yu's information, in the vast cosmos, cosmic powerhouses absorb yuan energy and also cultivate cosmic fundamental laws."

Among them, time, space, destruction, and life are higher-level laws beyond the fundamental ones.

The Ziwei Eye can glimpse fragments of the future—is this also an expression of the Time Law?

Could Emos's Eye of Fate itself be an expression of the Time Law?"

Xu Jingming's gaze burned intensely.

Of course, at this current level of prediction, it certainly cannot be called Time Law, nor even touch the realm of Time.

"Jingming, what is this…?"

Su Qingli, standing gracefully ahead, felt uneasy under Xu Jingming's gaze.

She felt as if, beneath his stare, she were completely naked, every detail exposed.

"Nothing. Just testing a combat technique."

Xu Jingming smiled and deactivated the Ziwei Eye.

It was a pity that allocating points to an SSR-level combat technique required so many energy points; otherwise, he truly wanted to try pushing the Ziwei Eye to perfection and see what effect that would bring...

"Goodbye, Director Xu!"

"I'll come to your Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy headquarters tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"..."

The aircraft swiftly entered Daxia's territory.

The group of ninth-rank abilities each had different destinations and departed one by one.

Before leaving, all of them greeted Xu Jingming—even the Law Saint was no exception.

Although they did not need the Supreme Divine Blood, they planned to attend tomorrow's auction.

After all, even Xu Jingming's girlfriend at Mo University had obtained the chance to evolve her ability into an SS-level.

Building a good relationship with Xu Jingming might mean that someday, when he acquires more elemental essences, he might choose to auction them off.

After bidding farewell to the group of ninth-rank Wu Sheng and Fa Sheng, the Black Obsidian-class aircraft swiftly flew into Modu.

And it halted in the suburbs, still over thirty kilometers from the Jinshan District urban area.

Chi—

The aircraft's hatch opened, and Xu Jingming and Su Qingli stepped out side by side.

On the ground, a group of people had already been waiting.

They all wore uniform black battle uniforms, with the lowest rank among them being sixth-rank.

Leading them was Zhou Yu, director of the Modu Public Security Bureau—coldly beautiful, with elegant phoenix eyes and a tall, striking figure.

Watching Xu Jingming step down from the aircraft, she was momentarily stunned.

Half a year ago, she met Xu Jingming for the first time.

At that time, he was seventh-rank mid-tier; she was eighth-rank upper-tier.

Half a year later, she remained eighth-rank upper-tier, while he had already entered ninth-rank!

And not just any ninth-rank—he was one of the most formidable combatants!

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind; as she watched Xu Jingming and Su Qingli walk toward her side by side, she bowed slightly in greeting:

"Senior Xu, Senior Su."

On the path of martial cultivation, the accomplished come first; age has nothing to do with it.

For her, an eighth-rank upper-tier cultivator, addressing the two as seniors was perfectly reasonable.

"Sister Yu, no need to be formal—call me just as you did before," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Zhou Yu and Ling Shuang had a good relationship; back then, he had interacted with Zhou Yu frequently in the Yer Secret Realm.

Seeing that Xu Jingming still seemed the same as before, without the arrogance befitting a ninth-rank cultivator,

Zhou Yu secretly sighed in relief, yet still shook her head and said:

"Times are different now—I'll call you Senior Xu."

Back in the Yer Secret Realm, Xu Jingming's strength was only slightly higher than hers; she could still treat him as an equal.

But now, with Xu Jingming's power having risen, a tragic, thick barrier had formed between them.

"Fine."

Xu Jingming did not press further, and asked: "What's the current situation with the Holy Light Church?"

"Most residents within a three-kilometer radius have been evacuated—under the pretext of an emergency drill, to avoid alerting them."

At the mention of serious matters, Zhou Yu's expression turned serious, and she replied promptly.

To prevent the possibility of a beast tide breaching the city.

Every city's Public Security Bureau holds irregular emergency drills; Metropolis is no exception, and the public has long grown accustomed to them.

"Good. Let's head there directly."

To avoid alerting them, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli did not fly or use a combat aircraft; they boarded Zhou Yu's off-road vehicle.

The off-road vehicle sped along, quickly entering the Jinshan District urban area, and stopped about one street away from the Holy Light Church headquarters.

Compared to the towering skyscrapers beside it, the entire Holy Light Church headquarters building looked utterly unremarkable; outsiders might mistake it for some obscure small sect.

"I'll take a look at the Holy Light Church first."

Xu Jingming's spiritual force surged forth, faintly forming the shape of a giant bird around his body!

After the Lei Hai Visualization Technique reached its seventh level, the "bright moon" in his spiritual sea had finally birthed a guardian spirit—the Lei Niao!

This Lei Niao was the core of his spiritual force; he could also use it to deploy even more techniques.

Whoosh—

With the Lei Niao's enhancement, Xu Jingming's spiritual force silently seeped into the Holy Light Church building ahead.

Yet after circling once, he found nothing unusual.

Even the highest-ranked adept among them was merely sixth-rank.

"Did we get the wrong place?" Xu Jingming frowned.

With Ai Mose's speculation and Eva's big-data screening, they shouldn't have picked the wrong location.

"No, this is just one building—it may not be the only space."

Xu Jingming shifted his intent, directing his spiritual force downward into the earth.

Underground spaces were exceptionally effective at blocking spiritual force; that was why he'd once preferred staying underground.

But now, with the Lei Niao's enhancement, every square meter of space more than two hundred meters beneath the Holy Light Church building lay bare before him!

He hadn't expected this—but the moment he looked, he immediately detected an extremely powerful aura.

This aura resembled that of the previous Divine Blood Envoy, and had reached the ninth-rank level!

"Found you!" Xu Jingming revealed a chilling smile.
