The Sword Dao Imprint within Jason's body had finally formed!
The imprint felt like an endless well of divine power, continuously flooding Jason with boundless strength.
"A qualitative transformation has begun!"
"Crossing the Heavenly Gate is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, entering a new world."
"Now is the time to reverse my fate."
Jason's usually tranquil heart rippled with excitement.
He felt warmth radiating throughout his body, as if he were a sun emanating light. In that moment, all his strength gathered toward his eyes.
Unlike the metamorphosis he experienced upon condensing his Golden Core, Jason could now clearly sense his eye sockets, like twin stars, shining with an unprecedented brilliance.
One breath.
Two breaths.
…
An hour passed.
Jason's eyes began to radiate a divine glow.
His eyelids, rarely moving, started to tremble, and he slowly, almost laboriously, opened them.
"What does this world look like?"
The anticipation was overwhelming.
Jason's heart pounded with excitement as his eyelids fully lifted.
His eye sockets, empty as they were, revealed only darkness.
But faintly, he could perceive light and shadows, almost like a spiritual resonance.
What's going on?
Jason paused, finding this outcome far from what he had imagined.
He had opened his eyes, as if he could see the world.
But he wasn't entirely sure. Instinctively, he reached his hand to his eyes.
As his fingertips touched, they passed through as if dipping into water, creating no ripples, encountering no resistance.
This wasn't how it was supposed to be.
Looking at his fingers, Jason realized that even though he'd opened his eyes, he couldn't feel any tangible presence of actual pupils.
Eyes without pupils?
A wry smile crept onto his face.
If someone were to see him now, they might be frightened by his appearance.
His eye sockets were completely empty.
"Wait… what's going on?"
Jason's hand halted mid-air.
Suddenly, he felt a terrifying devouring force rising within the emptiness of his sockets!
An eerie sensation arose within him.
It was as though his eye sockets were starving, yearning to consume!
To consume?
The bizarre thought startled Jason.
He was baffled.
Consume what?
Whose eyes even had the ability to consume?
Yet as the idea crossed his mind, images naturally surfaced in his consciousness.
Supreme Origin Sword Heart Pill.
Nine Heavens Divine King Iron.
Sun-Moon Sword Grass.
…
All these divine artifacts, obtained from past sign-ins, lay dormant within his body.
With these thoughts, the divine artifacts seemed to transform into delicacies before his eyes!
Yes!
To Jason's eyes, they were peerless delicacies!
His eyes wanted to consume divine artifacts!
Understanding dawned on him.
Instinctively, he took out a piece of Nine Heavens Divine King Iron.
Barely holding it out before his eyes, an immense devouring force activated!
Instantly, the precious Nine Heavens Divine King Iron vanished into Jason's empty sockets.
Once inside, it seemed to be digested, disappearing without a trace!
In its place, a dense and pure golden aura began to manifest within his eye sockets.
"It seems to be evolving!"
"So that's it."
Finally, Jason understood.
He realized that as these golden essences coalesced, a pair of divine eyes might be born within his sockets!
He wasn't simply lacking eyes.
Instead, he was born without anything in place of eyes, hence the term Heavenly Deficiency.
By successfully crossing the Heavenly Gate and altering his fate, he had remedied this deficiency.
But!
He was now far more powerful than before, having reached his strength step by step.
These newly forming eyes would not yet be able to withstand his powerful body!
Only through continuous nourishment and transformation could they grow into divine eyes strong enough to match his strength.
"This will work out well."
Jason's heart regained its calm.
After two lifetimes and hundreds of years of waiting, what was a bit more time?
"Not only that, I will cultivate these eyes into the most powerful divine eyes possible."
Without delay, Jason sat cross-legged, eagerly beginning to "feed" his future divine eyes.
One precious divine artifact after another was offered up to the dark emptiness of his eye sockets.
The budding divine eyes within accepted each offering without hesitation.
One day.
Two days.
…
Jason was so focused on nourishing his divine eyes that he lost track of time.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.
At last, he had exhausted the stockpile of divine artifacts within his body.
When he opened his eyes, the sockets were no longer pitch black but radiated with a brilliant rainbow light.
If he wished, Jason could condense this radiance within his sockets into a pair of divine eyes at any moment.
"Not enough."
"If I activate my vision now, I'll regret it."
But Jason was still dissatisfied.
He believed his divine eyes had further potential to be refined.
He sensed, deep within, that if he were to fully awaken his vision at this moment, he might one day regret it deeply.
"The ruins of Falling Star Mountain!"
"This is the relic left behind by a being who ascended to the upper realm; perhaps it holds an unexpected boon."
At this moment, Jason finally recalled his initial purpose.
Signing in at Falling Star Mountain and unexpectedly crossing into the Heavenly Gate had been mere detours.
His heart stirred.
Aside from the legacy left within the ruins, his experience suggested that signing in at such a location could yield unimaginable rewards.
With that, his nascent divine eyes might gain an even greater gift.
Jason rose, taking a light step forward.
In an instant, he crossed a hundred miles.
Being within Falling Star Mountain, and having merged the two great sword-forging techniques, he felt an innate connection to the relic.
Soon, he arrived deep within Falling Star Mountain, beneath a solitary cliff.
"This must be the place."
Hovering in mid-air, Jason reached out to touch the cliff face before him.
The cool, stone surface pulsed with a faint but hidden energy.
His body instinctively resonated with it.
He knew that this was the place where Ancestor Dustbound had left his legacy.
"Xuan Yuan, Crimson Shade."
He tapped his fingers lightly.
Employing a sword-forging technique, he gently knocked on the cliff face.
A strange rhythm echoed from the cliff.
Unbeknownst to him, the world began to tremble faintly.
The dense spiritual energy surrounding him suddenly swirled into a vortex, flooding toward the cliff face Jason was tapping.
It seemed as though the relic was about to be unveiled.
Yet, Jason's brow furrowed ever so slightly.
