Chapter 936: Truth Eye (First update, requesting all)

After some toasts and exchanges, Li Zhangsheng followed Zhao Yuanqing into a secret chamber, primarily to discuss matters concerning the Dai Kingdom.

This time, Li Zhangsheng did not refuse Zhao Yuanqing's good intentions; he was willing to co-rule the Dai Kingdom with Zhao Yuanqing, and once Zhao Yuanqing reached the end of his lifespan, he would step forward to protect the Dai Kingdom's Imperial Family.

Of course, the Dai Kingdom's Imperial Family would also abdicate and yield their position; as for who would become the emperor, Li Zhangsheng expressed not the slightest bit of interest.

The Dai Kingdom's throne was of no use to Li Zhangsheng, just as the emperor of the Langya Kingdom was to the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong; his status would transcend the throne, so why waste time dealing with mundane affairs?

However, there were not many candidates.

To become an emperor, one must possess a certain level of strength—preferably a Pseudo-King, and at the very least, no lower than the Sixth Rank; otherwise, not only would it invite ridicule from other nations, but it would also be difficult to command respect. After all, although the Dai Kingdom was small, it still possessed some Sixth-Rank Experts and Pseudo-Kings.

This was only for a small nation like the Dai Kingdom; if it were an empire, one would need to be at least a King, and many empires were even ruled by Double-Character Kings.

After the discussion, Li Zhangsheng moved into a palace, which would also become his residence within the Hurricane Fortress.

He did not immediately go to hunt Demon Commanders; firstly, he lacked a pass, and secondly, he lacked accurate information regarding the surrounding Abyss Gates.

Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun would prepare all of this for him, though it would take some time.

During this period, Li Zhangsheng did not waste time; he prepared to refine a Strange Treasure with special properties.

At the same time, Kailan also had to prepare for her promotion to Alchemy Master.

In order to advance to Alchemy Master, Kailan prepared to refine the Ten Directions Nether Pill.

This was one of the top-tier pill formulas obtained from Danyang Villa, capable of assisting Lord-level Demon Pets in breaking through to the Demon King realm.

If the refinement was successful, Kailan would have a significant chance of advancing to Alchemy Master, and at the same time, Li Zhangsheng would obtain a certain quantity of Ten Directions Nether Pills.

In the secret chamber, as Li Zhangsheng moved his mind, the Gate of Light and Darkness rushed out from his Consciousness Sea.

Li Zhangsheng solemnly took out two pitch-black eyeballs; just by looking at these two eyeballs, one's mind would involuntarily be drawn in.

These were the two eyeballs of the Demon Commander Assassin Demon, possessing power that made Li Zhangsheng feel covetous.

However, as a Demon Commander, the Assassin Demon's eyeballs contained intense Demonic Qi.

"I wonder if this special ability will still exist after the Demonic Qi is erased!"

To completely erase the Demonic Qi, he naturally had to rely on the power of the Gate of Light and Darkness, but Li Zhangsheng worried that after the Demonic Qi was erased, the special ability of the Assassin Demon's eyeballs would also disappear—the possibility was quite high.

Li Zhangsheng still had to try; if it succeeded, everyone would be happy, and if it failed, there wouldn't be much loss.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng threw the two Assassin Demon eyeballs into the Hell Gate.

Even as the eyeballs of a Demon Commander, they were still instantly crushed into powder by the Hell Gate, followed by the eruption of a large amount of deep, evil black Demonic Qi.

In terms of quality, the Demonic Qi of a Demon Commander exceeded that of a Great Demon by more than a notch.

At this moment, the Hell Gate channeled this Demonic Qi into the Gate of Heaven.

Even though the quality of this Demonic Qi was higher, it was still within the Gate of Heaven's capacity to bear; the Demonic Qi was easily annihilated, and finally, the remaining substances condensed into a small piece of dark red crystal.

Holding this dark red crystal, Li Zhangsheng could feel that the Demonic Qi had completely vanished; as for whether the special ability of the Assassin Demon eyeballs had been preserved, he would have to wait until it was refined to find out.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron and tossed the dark red crystal into it.

The Crown Li Fire Luan immediately spewed flames, and the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron immediately began to operate, starting to melt the dark red crystal.

Besides this, based on his experience, Li Zhangsheng successively added dozens of complementary materials.

Not long after, including the dark red crystal, all the materials melted into a pool of multicolored liquid.

It was also at this moment that Li Zhangsheng performed a Seal Technique... the following process is omitted!

"Condense!"

After spending more than half an hour, Li Zhangsheng gave a light shout, and the refined liquid condensed into a bead slightly smaller than an infant's fist; under his deliberate guidance, the bead looked like an eyeball.

After the treasure condensed, Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned; the eyeball turned into a streak of light and hovered in front of Li Zhangsheng.

"Success or failure rests on this one move!"

Li Zhangsheng performed a Seal Technique, and a ray of light instantly enveloped the eyeball; this was a special method he had obtained from the Treasure King's memories, possessing the function of identifying treasures.

The next moment, a stream of information was received by Li Zhangsheng.

After reading this information, Li Zhangsheng could not help but reveal a joyful expression.

He had succeeded!

XX: Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, possesses the ability of dynamic vision; as long as it is within the line of sight, time will appear to slow down, making it easier to discover flaws during combat. Note: Requires continuous consumption of Mental Power.

Dynamic vision was the special ability the Assassin Demon relied on most; it was precisely by relying on dynamic vision and its agile and flexible racial trait that the Assassin Demon became the demon race most skilled at assassination in the Abyss.

"I'll call you the Truth Eye!"

Li Zhangsheng gave it a random name and began to refine the Truth Eye.

Although the Truth Eye was only of Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, it was of great help to Li Zhangsheng; most importantly, if Li Zhangsheng obtained Demon Lord or even Demon Monarch-level Assassin Demons in the future, he could completely follow the same pattern to produce a higher-level Truth Eye.

Soon, the Truth Eye turned into a streak of light and entered his Consciousness Sea.

Li Zhangsheng began to test the effects of the Truth Eye; in an instant, his forehead above his eyes seemed to split open, and then an eyeball appeared, making it seem as if Li Zhangsheng possessed a third eye.

After the Truth Eye appeared, a faint light emerged from it; when using the Truth Eye to observe, Li Zhangsheng could clearly feel that all things within the Truth Eye's view turned into slow motion, as if time had slowed down significantly.

"About two times slower!"

After testing for a good while, Li Zhangsheng made a judgment.

The Truth Eye was undoubtedly a special type of treasure with an extremely high cost-performance ratio; it was not only used for combat, but could also better grasp fleeting opportunities when performing tasks like artifact refining, alchemy, or extracting Spirit Essence.

However, the Truth Eye also had a downside, which was that it consumed Mental Power a bit too quickly; even after Li Zhangsheng became a King, he could only maintain it for one hour.

One hour might seem long, but if it were during combat, whether transforming or executing Secret Techniques, both would consume a large amount of Mental Power; if one added the consumption of the Truth Eye, even with the Nine Apertures Dingyuan Pearl, he would be unable to maintain it for too long.

But the flaws did not obscure the virtues; if used well, the Truth Eye could potentially decide the outcome of a battle.

After putting away the Truth Eye, Li Zhangsheng then looked toward Kailan, who was refining the Ten Directions Nether Pill on the side.
