When Lu Yu woke up again, it was already the evening of the second day. Even with his recovery abilities, it still took almost a whole day to mostly recover his overly consumed Spiritual Power.
Upon waking, Lu Yu felt extremely hungry. After purchasing spiritual meat from the store, he roughly grilled it with the Celestial Falling Bright Flame and swallowed it in a few bites.
Lu Yu ate nine pieces of meat larger than his head before he felt full.
Many of the meat pieces were actually not fully cooked; they appeared charred on the outside, but the inside was raw. Yet, Lu Yu still ate all nine pieces.
Wiping the grease off his hands, Lu Yu touched his left eye, most of the power from the Sea's Eye had been temporarily sealed.
The Sea's Eye contained Spiritual Qi condensed over a hundred years, and the amount of Spiritual Qi within a single Sea's Eye was as vast as the ocean for Lu Yu. This ocean-like vast sea of Spiritual Qi was now stored in Lu Yu's left eye.
He could draw the Spiritual Qi at any time to replenish his consumed Spiritual Power. If one day he becomes strong enough, he could even unleash the massive Spiritual Qi within the Sea's Eye to directly attack opponents.
Currently, Lu Yu's recovery speed of Spiritual Power is even faster than that of a Spirit Sea Realm expert, who still needs to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the surroundings and refine it over time to regain their consumed Spiritual Power.
Lu Yu now directly draws Spiritual Qi from the Sea's Eye, without even needing to refine it, to instantly replenish his consumed Spiritual Power.
The Spiritual Qi in the Sea's Eye already bears Lu Yu's imprint and belongs to him.
However, at present, he can only channel the Spiritual Qi from the ocean through a small conduit into his tiny pond-like Dantian, then use the Qi in the pond to attack opponents, unable to use the sea's Qi directly for attacks.
Lu Yu's stomach quickly digested the spiritual meat he consumed, and the energy and substances absorbed from digestion rapidly converted into Lu Yu's reserves. The continuous and rapid recovery of Qi Blood in battle depends on these daily stored materials and energy.
After touching his left eye, Lu Yu put his hand down. The fusion of the Sea's Eye was very perfect, and now he no longer felt the left eye being heavy, which meant his body had adapted to the fusion of the Sea's Eye.
He felt that his right eye was still a bit warm. Taking out a mirror to check, Lu Yu found his right eye had turned fiery red, seemingly containing a flame that would never extinguish.
He tried to hide the flame in his right eye, desperately suppressing the power of the Fire Demon pupil, but it could not return to normal; at most, it made the right eye less glaring, just looking a bit red.
It's estimated that it's because one pupil accommodated twice the power of the Fire Demon pupil, and the pupil is still not adapting.
The power of the Sea's Eye is countless times stronger than the Fire Demon pupil, yet it didn't impact Lu Yu significantly because the power of the Sea's Eye is sealed, contained within that sea-blue gemstone.
The sea-blue gemstone shattered, but the seal within was already imprinted into Lu Yu's left eye.
The seal being stripped away was also the reason leading to the gemstone's shattering.
The method of refining the Sea's Eye is less about refining the sea of Spiritual Qi within and more about how to transfer the seal within the Sea's Eye into the pupil.
Lu Yu cannot seal or completely suppress the power of the Fire Demon pupil, so he can only wait for the right eye to adapt on its own.
Lu Yu took out the Ice and Fire Inheritance Jade Plate and read through the cultivation technique of the Ice Jade pupil again thoroughly, ensuring his memory was correct before starting to cultivate the Ice Jade pupil.
Lu Yu had not gone offline since the evening before last; he had already been in the Martial World for over 60 hours.
Lu Yu was also aware of his online duration, but he decided to finish cultivating the Ice Jade pupil before going offline to handle real-world matters, or else he'd constantly be thinking about the Ice Jade pupil, making him restless.
Leaving his room, he found a stone in the bamboo forest to sit on. After sitting down, Lu Yu realized this stone was the demon tortoise he had used to experiment with the Golden Armor Spirit Array.
After testing the Golden Armor Spirit Array, Lu Yu hadn't bothered with it, and to his surprise, it had not left the bamboo forest until now.
But he didn't care if it was a rock or not; sitting here meant it was just a rock.
The demon tortoise felt Lu Yu on its back and moved slightly to indicate it was not a rock. Seeing Lu Yu didn't intend to get up and leave, it stopped moving again.
It was too lazy to move now, and with Lu Yu sitting on it, it was even lazier.
Lu Yu released Yin Nether cold energy, causing the demon tortoise to shudder and quickly extend its six limbs, attempting to scuttle away. Lu Yu pressed down firmly, pinning it to the ground.
"Behave yourself! I won't hurt you. If you move around and accidentally get hurt, don't blame me," Lu Yu said casually.
Hearing this, the demon tortoise silently retracted its limbs, turning into a turtle pulling its head in, now immobile like a rock.
The Yin Nether cold energy Lu Yu released was quickly drawn into his left eye, without spilling anywhere else.
He didn't want the bamboo forest in front of his house to wither because of one cultivation session.
The power of the Sea's Eye was sealed, essentially having no impact on the entry of Yin Nether cold energy. Soon, Lu Yu felt his left eye starting to turn icy, as if the left side of his face was about to freeze stiff.
Currently cultivating the Ice Jade pupil, Lu Yu didn't activate his Qi Blood to resist the Yin Nether cold energy. Though he had some resistance, the Yin Nether cold energy still impacted him somewhat.
As the left eye absorbed more Yin Nether cold energy, Lu Yu sensed a new force being born within the left eye, and the power of the Fire Demon pupil in the right eye became jubilant with the emergence of this force, as if welcoming it.
Suddenly, Lu Yu noticed a change in the world, with his left eye turning ice blue.
Closing his right eye, Lu Yu saw the slowly drifting falling leaves, feeling like the entire world slowed down more than tenfold; a single leaf seemed to take over a minute to reach the ground.
In reality, the leaf took only a few seconds to fall to the ground.
It wasn't time that slowed down, but the world in Lu Yu's eyes.
The first ability of the Ice Jade pupil—dynamic vision—enables capturing the trajectory of extremely fast-moving objects.
This first ability of the Ice Jade pupil brought Lu Yu great joy, as he often couldn't clearly see enemies' attacks, having no choice but to withstand them without dodging.
With dynamic vision, many unnecessary attacks can be avoided.
As for attacks, up until now, Lu Yu has basically not encountered Martial Cultivators who choose to dodge his attacks, or rather most Martial Cultivators do not have the ability to dodge. The vast majority rely on Spiritual Power to intercept Lu Yu's attacks, instead of dodging.
Spiritual Power can both attack and defend. For Martial Cultivators who mainly focus on Spiritual Power, there's no such thing as dodging; fighting is all about clashing Spiritual Power.
You attack me, I defend with Spiritual Power; I attack you, you defend with Spiritual Power. Whoever can't withstand it loses.
However, most of the time, it's a war of attrition. First, exhaust the Spiritual Power a bit, then unleash a powerful move that can instantly defeat the opponent. The opponent, having been drained of Spiritual Power, won't have enough Spiritual Power to fend off the attack, thus naturally losing.
Continuing to train, Lu Yu pushed the training progress of the Ice Jade Eye to 59%, but couldn't advance further. There's no way to complete the training of the Ice Jade Eye in one go; it requires time for the eyes to adapt to its power.
Lu Yu stood up, and the demon turtle beneath him sensed this and quickly fled the bamboo forest, moving at a speed that completely betrayed its name; it ran faster than a rabbit, its four legs turning into a whirlwind.
After moving his body in place for a bit, Lu Yu activated the power of the Ice Jade Eye, turning his left eye ice blue. His right eye failed to suppress the Fire Demon Eye's power, causing it to reflect a fiery red color.
Heaven's Edge Ruler Step!
Lu Yu performed the Ruler Step and found that he could finally see the movement trajectory of Heaven's Edge Ruler Step. This means he can adjust the landing coordinates midway, and Heaven's Edge Ruler Step is no longer a straight path.
However, the different time flow rates between his eyes made Lu Yu very uncomfortable, to the point of feeling nauseous.
After practicing on the mountain for over an hour, Lu Yu finally got used to the worlds with two different time flow rates in his eyes.
Previously, when he wasn't moving, there wasn't too much discomfort. But once he moved, the world differences in time flow rates between his eyes made him feel very uncomfortable, to the point of wanting to vomit.
Even Lu Yu's strong physique couldn't withstand the discomfort caused by the differing time flow rates, indicating how much harm differing world time flow rates can inflict on both mind and body.
This was partly because Lu Yu had rapidly increased the power of the Ice Jade Eye too much at once, causing a large gap in time flow scales. If he had gradually strengthened the Ice Jade Eye's power, it would have been easier to adapt.
Once he adjusted to the discomfort brought by the Ice Jade Eye, Lu Yu began trying to change the landing coordinates in the midst of using Heaven's Edge Ruler Step, allowing it to change direction midway.
Previously, due to the speed of Heaven's Edge Ruler Step being too fast, Lu Yu couldn't even see the movement trajectory clearly. While moving, he couldn't see the surrounding environment. Even if he wanted to change the landing coordinates, he was helpless.
Perhaps just as he developed the thought to change landing coordinates, his body would have already reached the endpoint, making it impossible to change direction while using Heaven's Edge Ruler Step.
If the displacement distance was extended, it might be possible, but that would introduce much uncertainty.
Now, with the Ice Jade Eye, Lu Yu can see Heaven's Edge Ruler Step's movement trajectory clearly, enabling him to change direction midway. This is a great enhancement to his strength.
He currently relies mainly on Heaven's Edge Ruler Step to approach opponents.
After finishing training Heaven's Edge Ruler Step and seeing the sky darken again, Lu Yu returned to the cabin.
He glanced at the fiery clouds in the sky of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm and lay in bed, exiting the game.
"Phew~" Lu Yu exhaled, feeling the indoor air a bit stuffy, and got up to open the window.
The walls, doors, windows, railings, and floor-to-ceiling windows of his home... were all engraved with the Golden Armor Spirit Array. When entering the game, he would tightly close the windows and doors, leaving no chance for anyone to come in.
Door and window engraved with the Golden Armor Spirit Array aren't something ordinary people can break; even a rocket can't explode through it all at once.
However, if someone used a rocket launcher to blast Lu Yu's home and managed to destroy it, the result might be the dozen or so floors above Lu Yu's collapsing due to losing one layer of structural support.
Because Lu Yu's home would either remain intact or be completely reduced to dust.
Lu Yu moves very cautiously at home, fearing that he might accidentally demolish the whole floor.
Taking a deep breath of the fresh air from the window, Lu Yu plugged in his phone to charge as it was out of power, letting it charge in the bedroom while he opened windows in other rooms for ventilation, cleaned, and cooked dinner.
Upon finishing these tasks, it was already around eleven. Lu Yu ate while booting up his phone.
Bang! A loud sound was heard, and Lu Yu looked into the distance but saw no fireworks, feeling puzzled, "Did someone's gas tank explode?"
Unlocking his phone with his fingerprint, upon entering the homepage, he saw a bunch of news notifications.
"The situation with the Eagle Alliance looks bleak, tanks have already entered the city to suppress..."
"Latest discovery, mutant monsters have appeared in the Pacific, with a significant chance of infiltrating countries bordering the Pacific via ocean currents..."
"New release, Hua Country officials have unified the naming of mutant monsters as demons..."
...
Lu Yu looked at the notifications with a bewildered mind, "Have I time-traveled? What is this demon thing?"
