Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 432: Chapter 428: Sun and Moon Divine Eye

In later ages, this day would come to be known as the ”Celestial Miracle”!

Countless Martial Artists remembered everything they saw on this day, carrying the memory to their graves.

Under the shocked gazes of innumerable people throughout the Great Thousand Realms, the Sun and Moon Appeared Together high above in the Nine Heavens.

At that moment, the entire world fell silent.

In the forests, no cicada chirped or bird sang. In the cities, no infant cried.

The instant the Sun and Moon Appeared Together, a vast and mighty heavenly pressure enveloped the Great Thousand Realms. Even beings as strong as Kings felt their own insignificance before this power.

Then, as everyone watched, dumbfounded, the moon slowly began to move toward the sun.

Piece by piece, the sun was obscured by the moon, looking from afar as if it were being devoured.

”The moon... is eating the sun?” a child asked with innocent wonder.

”I finally understand why that lord called this a marvel for the ages! A Solar Eclipse... this is a Solar Eclipse!”

In the East Sea, the various Kings were all deeply shaken.

”The Sun and Moon Appear Together, the silver moon devours the golden sun—this is a Solar Eclipse. To think I would live to witness such a timeless spectacle with my own eyes. I can die without regrets, truly without regrets.”

An old Martial Artist’s body trembled as he spoke, his voice thick with emotion. Tears even streamed from his eyes.

And throughout the Great Thousand Realms, countless others were just as moved as he was.

There was a reason a Solar Eclipse was called a marvel for the ages. Such a phenomenon only appeared once every ten thousand years, an opportunity that came but once every ten thousand years.

How many Martial Artists could live for ten thousand years?

After all, even a Celestial Martial Realm King’s lifespan was only ten thousand years. Furthermore, most Celestial Martial Realm Kings, whether due to injury or other reasons, rarely lived out their full ten-thousand-year lifespan.

A phenomenon like this was incredibly precious, even to a Celestial Martial Realm King.

”To see this timeless spectacle of the Sun and Moon Appearing Together... I was truly born in a fortunate era.”

Countless people’s eyes welled with tears as they let out earth-shattering cheers.

Amid the cheers, the moon continued its slow, inexorable journey. Bit by bit, the sun vanished, and the world began to slowly darken.

A short while later, once the entire sun had been ”swallowed” by the moon, the world was plunged into a pitch-black darkness where one could not see their hand in front of their face.

Only high in the Nine Heavens could people faintly make out the dim corona radiating from the sun.

”A Solar Eclipse... To think the world’s dramatic changes these past few days were all because of a Solar Eclipse.” In the Ancient Forbidden Land, the many Martial Artists had already erupted into a frenzy of discussion.

”It seems we worried for nothing. It wasn’t some impending catastrophe, but a rare, timeless spectacle.”

”I really wish my master could have seen this. A shame he passed away a few days ago.”

Within the crowd, some were excited, while others were filled with regret.

”What a Solar Eclipse!”

On Kunwu Mountain Peak, a golden light surged in Ling Tianxu’s eyes, which now blazed with boundless battle intent. The next moment, Golden Sword Qi erupted from his body, illuminating the area for a hundred zhang.

”What is Ling Tianxu doing? Does he intend to fight this celestial spectacle?” the people asked in astonishment.

”Worthy of the Sword King Body. While others feel only reverence for this celestial marvel, he wants to fight it, treating the sun and moon as his opponents.”

Someone exclaimed in admiration.

The speaker was none other than a King in the distant sky.

”Celestial Sword King, your Sect is truly blessed with great fortune. This Ling Tianxu is no simple man,” the Primordial King said with a nod.

”The new generation is destined to surpass the old. Once he fully matures, I’m afraid we old-timers will all be suppressed by him,” the Infinite King said grimly, having seen the limitless potential of the Sword King Body.

”You all flatter him,” the Celestial Sword King said with a faint smile.

...

While the outside world was abuzz over the timeless spectacle of the Solar Eclipse...

Deep within the Underground Palace Realm, Ning Jiang’s heart was a sea of tranquility.

He had long since calculated that this Solar Eclipse would occur, and he had waited for this day for a very, very long time.

’A full three years of waiting... The Sun and Moon Divine Eye can finally take its first step!’

Ning Jiang murmured to himself. Three years ago, when he had obtained the Taiyang and Taiyin Divine Crystals, he had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to cultivate the Sun and Moon Divine Eye.

The cultivation requirements for this Pupil Technique, the Sun and Moon Divine Eye, were exceptionally demanding.

The most crucial condition was the appearance of a Solar Eclipse.

That day had finally arrived.

’The heavens, the earth, and my own readiness are all in Perfection. Today is the first step of my transformation!’

With a great wave of his sleeve, Ning Jiang summoned two streams of light, which landed before him. One was entirely golden, blazing like the sun, while the other was pitch-black and bone-chillingly cold.

These were the Taiyang Divine Crystal and the Taiyin Divine Crystal.

”Power of Sun and Moon, mother of heaven and earth, nourisher of all life, creator of Yin and Yang...”

Ning Jiang chanted the incantation for cultivating the Sun and Moon Divine Eye.

It was no exaggeration to call the Sun and Moon Power the mother of heaven and earth. The growth of all living things depended on the light of the sun and moon.

If the sun and moon were ever lost, the Yin and Yang of the world would fall out of balance. Everything would descend into chaos, and countless living beings would die.

The key to cultivating the Sun and Moon Divine Eye was related to this very Yin Yang Power.

Normally, when the sun was out, the world would be filled with boiling yang energy. When the moon appeared, yin energy would flourish. Yin and yang, appearing in alternation.

But the Sun and Moon Divine Eye required the Sun and Moon to Appear Together, when Yin Yang Power filled the world, each occupying half the space, reaching a perfect point of balance!

Only under these conditions could one successfully cultivate the Sun and Moon Divine Eye.

This incantation, no more and no less, was exactly three thousand characters long, as if symbolizing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The moment he finished the incantation, he formed a series of hand seals, assuming a strange posture. His left hand was like the moon, his right like the sun, as if his arms were embracing both at once.

”Sun and Moon Power, be wielded by me!”

Before him, a pillar of Energy erupted from each of the Taiyang and Taiyin Divine Crystals, surging rapidly toward his eyes.

At the same time, the Yin Yang Power that filled the world began to converge on him rapidly.

Slowly, a strange scene unfolded.

The space to Ning Jiang’s left became as black as ink, while the space to his right shone with brilliant golden light. The black was the Power of Taiyin, the gold was the Taiyang Power. He was situated in both yin and yang simultaneously, like a Divine Demon, sacred and inviolable.

This phenomenon continued for seven days and seven nights.

For the cultivating Ning Jiang, seven days passed in the blink of an eye. In that time, the two Divine Crystals before him were completely drained of their Energy, crumbling into dust.

But a terrifying power gradually began to emanate from Ning Jiang’s body.

”The Divine Eye is finally complete. From this day forward, who among the younger generation of the Six Eastern Provinces can still be my match?”

A grand voice slowly boomed from Ning Jiang’s lips.

SWISH!

His eyes snapped open, and beams of black and golden light shot out from them respectively.

His left eye was as black as ink, with a moon visible within it. His right eye was dazzlingly brilliant, a sun suspended in its depths.

At the same time, a moon and a sun manifested behind him, illuminating the entire Underground Palace Realm!
