Chapter 565: Chapter 564: Divine Skill, Eye of Enchantment

A faint smile touched Jiu Lingyun’s lips when she heard Yi Tianyun’s words. She slowly knelt on one knee and bowed her head.

"Being able to stay by Yi’s side is the greatest fortune." Her voice was full of sincerity. She knew her identity was far from simple; she was a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King.

Jiu Lingyun knew full well what it meant to be at the Divine King level—they were the most formidable beings in existence. Although she was a descendant and possessed some of their bloodline, to her, the kindness Yi Tianyun had shown her was a debt she could never repay in this lifetime.

That was why she had always strived so hard, all for the sake of helping Yi Tianyun. For the Celestial Cloud Imperial City’s Divine Patterns, she had worked diligently, engraving a great many of them herself.

She knew that this was not nearly enough to repay his kindness. In fact, she felt that as long as she remained here, she would always be under the blessing of Yi Tianyun’s grace.

While that might have been a slight exaggeration, Yi Tianyun had indeed provided her with a great deal of resources. He, however, had never expected anything from Jiu Lingyun in return.

Even now, knowing she was a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King, Jiu Lingyun felt not an ounce of pride. Instead, she was even more grateful for Yi Tianyun’s generosity. ’If it weren’t for him, how would I have ever found out?’

"What are you talking about? You’re a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King now. Your future achievements will be extraordinary." Yi Tianyun quickly helped her up. Her tendency to kneel at a moment’s notice left him at a loss for words.

"No matter how great my achievements become, you will always be my Yi. I will always be willing to stay by your side and serve you!" Jiu Lingyun’s lovely eyes shimmered. Beneath her plain features was a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes, crystal clear and captivating.

"That sentiment is more than enough. Cultivate diligently and don’t let your talent go to waste." Yi Tianyun patted her shoulder with a smile. "If you don’t understand anything, don’t hesitate to come and find me."

He had explained everything that needed to be said; the rest was up to her. He was confident that with Jiu Lingyun’s aptitude, she would do an excellent job.

With that, Yi Tianyun left the cultivation room. Jiu Lingyun watched his retreating figure, her fists clenched, and murmured, "Yi, I will definitely be of help to you..."

"Ding! Intermediate Saintess Training Mission successfully completed. Reward: 100,000,000 Experience, 100,000 Madness Value, 300 Character Points, and one Super-Enhanced Lottery Wheel opportunity!"

He hadn’t gotten far when a sudden notification stunned him. It was for completing an Intermediate Saintess Training mission. ’Looks like there’s an Advanced Saintess Training mission, too,’ he thought.

Just like before, the rewards were substantial. ’It seems Jiu Lingyun is destined to be the Saintess of the Celestial Cloud Empire.’

He wouldn’t publicly declare her the Saintess just yet. She had to earn the title herself. Once her prestige grew high enough, everything would fall into place naturally without him needing to pull strings behind the scenes.

’And I got a Super-Enhanced Lottery Wheel opportunity, huh...’

’Use it!’

Yi Tianyun activated the lottery wheel as he walked. The massive wheel immediately began to spin. He also activated his Luck Aura, causing his Luck Level to skyrocket. He wasn’t worried about anyone seeing the wheel; whatever he won would drop directly to him without any interference.

’Stop!’

At Yi Tianyun’s command, the pointer quickly came to a halt. It landed on... a Divine Skill! His heart pounded. He had finally won a Divine Skill from the Super-Enhanced Lottery Wheel!

’What kind of Divine Skill would you get from such an incredible lottery wheel?’

DING!

A wooden box dropped into his inventory. He mentally commanded it to open. The box opened slowly, and a Divine Skill was seared into his skill list.

Eye of Enchantment: Can charm any cultivator below the Spirit King Stage (does not include those at the Spirit King Stage), forcing them to obey your every command. Level: 1. Duration: Unlimited. Cooldown: Two hours after the connection is broken. Target Limit: One person. Next Level: 2,000,000 Madness Value. (Note: Charm may fail if the target’s Spiritual Power is too strong or if they are possessed.)

’A Divine Skill!’

Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. ’It really is a Divine Skill! As long as I successfully control someone, the effect has no time limit.’

This meant that once he controlled someone, they would remain under his command until they died or until he chose to release them. The Divine Skill was absolutely vicious.

If not for the two-hour cooldown, it would be truly insane. He could make his puppets slaughter each other without any issue.

’This is great stuff. I should upgrade it immediately.’

"Ding! 2,000,000 Madness Value successfully deducted. Eye of Enchantment has been upgraded. Next level requires 10,000,000 Madness Value."

"Ding! Eye of Enchantment has been upgraded. Effect enhanced: Cooldown reduced to one hour, and you can now control two cultivators below the Spirit King Stage (not including those at the Spirit King Stage)."

This was the first Divine Skill he had ever acquired, and he upgraded it immediately because the effect was just too tempting. However, even after the upgrade, the effect still seemed a bit weak.

He had thought he would immediately be able to control experts at the Spirit King Stage. ’Looks like I was thinking too much. I’ll probably have to keep upgrading it before I can control Spirit King cultivators.’

Still, it was a decent improvement. The reduced cooldown and the ability to control two people was already quite good.

’Again!’

"Ding! 10,000,000 Madness Value successfully deducted. Eye of Enchantment has been upgraded. Next level requires 50,000,000 Madness Value!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"Ding! Eye of Enchantment has been upgraded. Effect enhanced: Cooldown reduced to one incense stick’s time (30 minutes), and you can now control three cultivators up to the Fifth Layer of the Spirit King Stage!"

Finally, after two consecutive upgrades, he could control Spirit King Stage cultivators. But it was limited to those at or below the Fifth Layer, which was a bit of a shame.

’It looks like I’ll need to upgrade it to Level 4 to control all cultivators within the Spirit King Stage... but that fifty million...’

Yi Tianyun shook his head. With fifty million Madness Value, he’d be better off upgrading Madness Mode. But it was precisely because he was low on Madness Value that he couldn’t upgrade Madness Mode in the first place.

Even if he did have fifty million, he might not be able to upgrade Madness Mode anyway. Upgrading Madness Mode actually required him to reach the Fifth Layer of the Spirit King Stage first.

He had noticed this detail just now when he was inspecting his skills. The line of text was tiny; he would have missed it if he hadn’t looked closely. ’What a trap,’ he thought. It was a good thing he saw it. It would have been tragic to painstakingly save up fifty million Madness Value only to find out he couldn’t use it to upgrade.

If not for that requirement, he really would have been reluctant to spend the points on this upgrade.
