Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 996 - 0 Reshaping the Rules of Ice! (5th Update)

Ye Qiu didn’t rush towards the safety passage but embarked on the way back.

After battling with five mythical figures, he had expended a considerable amount of strength, and Ye Qiu planned to recover a bit before moving forward. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Finding a relatively secretive spot, Ye Qiu began to restore his depleted energy.

Little did he know, Elders Tang Hai and Tang Yun were secretly watching his every move.

Ye Qiu was focused on regaining his strength, presenting a perfect opportunity to strike, but Elder Tang Hai firmly disagreed. In his view, Ye Qiu was very cunning and might be feigning this state to lure out those spying on him from the shadows.

Elder Tang Yun could only restrain himself from taking action.

After a day had passed, Ye Qiu had nearly fully recovered his strength, thanks to being in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. If he were elsewhere, he wouldn’t have been this fast.

Feeling the surging power throughout his body, he knew that with just a thought, he could release energy.

After stretching his limbs, he felt quite decent, not far from his optimal state.

"Luckily, these five mythical beings weren’t from the three ancient clans, otherwise they would have been much harder to deal with."

The mythical experts from the three ancient clans were noticeably stronger than those from other clans. The previous five myths only mastered one type of Rule Power, which made them easier for Ye Qiu to handle. Otherwise, even with spiritual power and the Eye of Illusion to aid him, he would have struggled more.

This highlighted the disparity in the heritage among ancient clans—the stronger the clan, the mightier its experts. This is the main reason the three ancient clans have remained at the pinnacle of the ancient lands. Meanwhile, other clans not only have fewer experts but also lack in quality compared to the three ancient clans.

Thus, for other clans to rival the three ancient clans is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Ye Qiu organized his gains from the battle, apart from the experience of fighting with mythical figures, he also obtained a few cultivation techniques. Ye Qiu casually flipped through them; although the techniques offered some assistance to him, they didn’t have much impact. After all, having reached the mythical state, he already had his own martial path, and others’ paths could at most provide different inspirations for him.

After half a day of research, Ye Qiu put the cultivation techniques away again, thinking they would be useful for his five maids—Jin’er and Shui’er—to train.

Then, rummaging through his Sumeru Bag, he took out the wooden box containing the Ice Fruit.

Upon gently opening it, a chill burst forth, and Ye Qiu saw the Rule Power of Ice flowing on the Ice Fruit’s surface, crystalline and beautiful.

Hmm!

From a distance, Elder Tang Yun, who had been watching Ye Qiu’s actions closely, couldn’t help but reveal a look of possessive desire upon witnessing this scene.

Rule Power of Ice!

It was a rule initially only possessed by Elder Tang Feng, and Elder Tang Yun felt fervent desire, unable to resist acting.

"Elder Tang Hai, won’t you let me act?" Elder Tang Yun saw Elder Tang Hai grabbing his arm, who shook his head: "Tang Yun, don’t forget, he took down five mythical figures before. You can’t be blinded by treasures, or you’ll be walking to your death. Besides, this is no longer the best time; we’ve let him recover, and if we proceed, we might share the same fate as the previous five."

Hesitant, Elder Tang Yun agreed. The Ice Fruit in Ye Qiu’s hand was indeed tempting. If he could obtain it, he would master the Rule of Ice, significantly boosting his power. However, Tang Hai was right; no matter how great the treasure, it must be taken alive.

"Alright, I understand." Elder Tang Yun had to give up, hoping Ye Qiu wouldn’t consume the entire Ice Fruit, leaving some for him to seize later.

Unaware of Elder Tang Yun’s thoughts, Ye Qiu wasn’t a stranger to herbs containing Rule Power. He had obtained the Rule Power of Wind through a lotus root containing it.

Currently, although Ye Qiu had partially mastered the Rule Power of Ice, he felt it lacking. Back then, his ability to comprehend the Rule of Ice was due to Elder Tang Feng, who infused Rule Power into him. Otherwise, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have mastered it. Now, the Ice Fruit made Ye Qiu believe that consuming it would enhance his mastery and understanding of the Rule of Ice.

Without hesitation, recalling his previous experience of directly consuming the lotus root for the Rule of Wind, Ye Qiu replicated the method, biting down on the Ice Fruit and sending it into his Dantian.

Instantly, a soul-piercing chill surged through him, causing his limbs to tingle, and frost to form on his face.

The power of the Rule of Ice rapidly spread throughout his body.

If Ye Qiu hadn’t already mastered part of the Rule Power of Ice, this experience would undoubtedly be excruciating and unforgettable. However, at this moment, Ye Qiu focused his mind to channel the Rule Power of Ice, simultaneously compressing the Rule Power from the Ice Fruit into the remaining eyeball.

Swish, swish, swish...

The Rule Power began to be condensed by the remaining eyeball into a rhombus crystal essence. Ye Qiu observed the process, uncovering the mysteries of the Rule Power of Ice.

From afar, Elder Tang Yun watched with a heart-aching expression as this damned Ye Qiu consumed the Ice Fruit. At this moment, Tang Yun felt as if the treasure he had fought for was snatched away by Ye Qiu, leaving him both furious and envious.

He didn’t even possess such a treasure imbued with Rule Power.

Elder Tang Hai felt the same, watching powerlessly as Ye Qiu consumed the Ice Fruit, unable to act. His mood was no better, but there was nothing to be done. Ye Qiu’s displayed strength had been too astounding before, leaving the two elders with the desire but not the courage to act, too afraid to take the risk.

Tang Hai and Tang Yun didn’t realize they had missed an immensely important opportunity. In fact, Ye Qiu’s current state wasn’t good. He had assumed that the crystalline structure of the Ice Rule within his body would merely grow after eating the Ice Fruit. But it turned out differently. As Ye Qiu thought things would proceed as expected, a change occurred.

The Rule Power from the Ice Fruit was much purer than the Ice Rule Power he had within. It was then Ye Qiu realized how crude his previous grasp of the Ice Rule had been.

He had no choice but to bear the intense pain, deconstructing his former Ice Rule and reconstructing its essence anew.

In doing so, Ye Qiu suffered tremendously. He felt a splitting headache as the Ice Rule disintegrated, its power ricocheting chaotically within his body.

On the other hand, Ye Qiu couldn’t divert his focus to resist because the essence of the new Ice Rule was forming, the rhombus crystal gradually taking shape.

Ye Qiu could only grit his teeth and endure, unsure how long had passed, and felt himself in a semi-conscious state, on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Tang Yun and Tang Hai thought Ye Qiu was comprehending the Rule Power of Ice, oblivious to his dire situation.

"This kid’s really gotten lucky," Tang Yun said enviously.

Tang Hai comforted from the side, "He probably has more than just this treasure. When the opportunity arises to take him down, they’ll all be ours."

"Yes," Tang Yun nodded fiercely, eager to rip Ye Qiu apart, yet deep down, he dared not; the youth was just too formidable.

One false move, and it would be a descent into hell!
