I gripped the gilded rail of the fiery chariot, the heat licking at my crystal covered taloned hand, the crystals magnified my Ember scales underneath, yet the flames did not burn my hand. The world blurred into streaks of color as the steeds—four titanic stallions made of pure flame—pulled us across the sky. Each hoofbeat cracked like thunder, each breath a furnace gale that left molten contrails in the air, that briefly hung like veins of light in the clouds.
Wind roared past me, whipping my hair, but through the Eye of Heaven, every detail came alive in impossible clarity. Beneath the sapphire waves, leviathans stirred. Vast coils of scaled flesh gleamed like black mountains, while sea dragons with eyes like suns slithered lazily through the abyss, their breath churning whirlpools that could swallow whole islands. The pressure of their presence pressed faintly against my soul, but the chariot never wavered.
Behind us, the Beast Vein Continent shrank like a receding dream—rolling mountains fading into a smudge, then a dot, and then finally nothing. The realization struck me with a pang—home was gone from sight and ahead lay only the unknown. I started to kick myself mentally for following the Mimics divination slip and Felicitys cheerful encouragement. "AW, Heck go for it Ash" I thought about those words as I muttered to myself, "Let's hope you don't come to regret those words, Felicity."
Now there was only ocean. Endless, limitless ocean. White foam streaked in ribbons below, dotted by the occasional lonely island, nothing more than specks of green and sand lost in eternity.
"We are about five thousand miles in," Emperor Ichikawa said calmly, his voice somehow cutting through the thunder of the chariot. His eyes glowed faintly like molten coals as he looked ahead. "Soon, you'll see Mystic Central on the horizon. The true heart of this world." My eye of heaven flared as I peered into the distance. I couldn't see land yet, but I felt it. The will of a foreign land.
With time to spare, I turned inward, focusing on the golden glyph hovering in my vision. The script shimmered and rearranged itself until six words hung before me, burning softly with divine light:
Party.
Item.
Weapon.
Ability.
Bloodline Power.
Guardian Force.
My pulse quickened. The implications hit like thunder. This wasn't a mere viewing lens—it was my entire world!
I sent a thread of intent toward the Item tab. Instantly, the menu expanded into a vast lattice of golden light. Every item from my spirit ring and bracelet appeared as glowing sigils—categorized, labeled, and ranked. I could even see energy readouts and resonance lines between gear pieces. Nothing remained hidden, no secret, no flaw, no obfuscation.
With this, I could know everything—my cultivation, my weapons, my very being. I exhaled, trembling slightly. The Eye of Heaven wasn't just an interface. It was revelation itself."
I selected 'Ability.' Another golden panel bloomed, filled with the forms of my martial arts: Hidden Dragon Palms mixed with wind and lightning essence. Blazing Tempest Windmill Kicks. The Vorpal Shift Techniques. Each carried a small, glowing meter below it—gauges showing mastery progression, efficiency, and breakthrough thresholds. I could see where I stood on each martial path!
Then I opened Party. Two radiant portraits appeared in the likenesses of myself and Felicity. Curious, I sent a wisp of intent into my icon. The image fractured into data lines, filling my vision with readings and measurements once only the Omni Stone could provide—but magnified beyond belief.

The numbers floated before me like the script of the heavens themselves. It was intoxicating—terrifyingly complete. With the Eye of Heaven, I no longer simply walked the cultivation path. I could map it. Every stat number was a confession from my own body. Strength quantified divinity translated into data."
Next I turned my attention to the weapon/gear tab. I sent my intent forward, and the interface expanded like a lotus unfolding under dawn light. A flood of shimmering lines arranged themselves into a floating constellation of relics, armor, and accessories—all orbiting a golden core that represented me. The detail was unreal—each piece of gear radiated its own aura, color-coded by rank and element.
At the top of the screen, the name of my current loadout shimmered in bold onyx letters, I read it aloud, "Dark Gear Set," below, the gear sets stats unfurled like living scripture:
"Epic Dark Gear Set: Shadow Element. Set Bonus: ''Ninja Arts'' — Completely conceals user's aura and presence, even under direct sunlight."

I looked at my Earth Grade weapons that I recovered from my Inheritance. A flicker later and new entries unfolded.
Weaponry:
Flickering Spear of Dawn (Earth-Grade)
[Exp:1200/10,000] I took note of this indicator gauge as it allowed me to directly track the cultivation progress of the flickering dawn spear. I continued to read the weapon stat details.
"Attack Power: 8,500. Elemental Affinity: Holy Fire. Special Effect: Double attack power during sunrise or near sources of divine light. I read the relics core Lore: ''Forged from the heart of a fallen star by the Dawnsmiths of the true immortal core realm.''
Next, I read about the Starlit chain.
"Starlit Chain Earth-Grade
[Exp: 1200/10,000]
Attack Power: 7,900
Elemental Affinity: Holy lightening.
Special Effect: Chain lightening — Each link becomes a lightning conduit; damage increases per active target. I read the lore of the weapon, ''Said to glow faintly when danger approaches.'' I would need to cultivate vigorously with both of my earth grade weapons if I wanted to advance to the Holy Martial Path, which was one of the required steps to ascend to the True Immortal Core Realm.
I became extremely curious about the Glacial Soul Eye, so I quickly reviewed its information!
Type: Glacial Eye Relic
Rarity: Mythic
Integration: Complete
Base Power: 25,000 (Variable)
Passive Ability: Glacial Perception: Allows the cultivator to perceive and analyze motion by decelerating external kinetic activity within their field of vision. To the bearer, high-speed attacks and movements appear slowed by up to 90%, while their own reaction speed is unaffected. The world itself seems to crystallize into still frames of cold, suspended light.
Secondary Ability: Can freeze opponents mental energy pools.
Special Ability: A transcendent technique that converts the cultivator into a sub-zero astral gale. When invoked, the cultivator transforms into translucent arcs of glacial wind qi that tear through both spirit and flesh. Each strike leaves behind soul frost — a lingering spiritual chill that slows thought, dulls emotion, and weakens the target's cultivation flow.
"Said to be the crystallized tear of an ancient frost wyrm who sought enlightenment in solitude."
And then, one final item appeared hovering in gold fire: Eye of Heaven. The Eye of Heaven even viewed its own information! "Wonder of wonders I exclaimed." Its stat panel alone radiated enough power to make my heart skip.
Type: Celestial Eye Relic
Rarity: Mythic
Integration: Complete
Base Power: 32,000 (Variable)
Passive Ability: Truth Perception — Grants omnidirectional analysis of physical, spiritual, and metaphysical phenomena.
Secondary Ability: Path Revelation — Reveals hidden breakthroughs, cultivation inefficiencies, and potential future advancements.
Special Function: The Eye of Heaven. Observe far away locations and launch heavenly attacks directly from the eye of Heaven.
Lore: ''A celestial eye said to guide chosen mortals toward the comprehension of all things. Few have ever borne its sight without losing themselves to its vastness.''
I could barely breathe. This wasn't just a weapon—it was a bridge between mortal cultivation and the architecture of reality itself. Through the Eye of Heaven, I now held dominion over perception, knowledge, and evolution. Every relic, every weapon, every technique—laid bare and perfect before me. The path forward no longer felt like a mystery.
It felt like destiny.
