The spirit bone's aura was restrained, appearing merely as a slightly more exquisite work of art.
However, when Nangong Lingyun brought it close to his forehead and used his mental power to guide it, he could instantly feel the energy contained within, so terrifying it was like a majestic volcano waiting to erupt.
Even with the system's customization, a perfect 100% compatibility, and the advantage of the Longevity Technique, the entire absorption process still lasted a full three days and nights.
When he woke up again, it was already dawn on the fourth day.
Nangong Lingyun slowly stood up, stretching his limbs as he walked outside.
As his eyes opened and closed, strands of silver light spilled out, which was the escaping mental energy.
He could clearly feel that his pure mental strength had increased by another seventy percent compared to before, and his abilities in areas like burst, detection, object control, and illusion had more than doubled.
Don't let the seemingly modest increase fool you.
It's because his base stats were already ridiculously overpowered. After obtaining his fifth spirit ring, he already possessed the strength of a Limit Douluo.
And not just any Limit Douluo, but one approaching the level of Angel Yan.
If we're talking about the sheer amount of growth, even three Qian Daolius wouldn't be enough to handle it.
Nangong Lingyun's mind stirred, and his Chaos Holy Spirit Martial Soul manifested.
His mental perception instantly enveloped the entire Heaven Dou City.
In a secret chamber beneath the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue, in her true form, was meditating, her snow-white wings tinged with golden light from her spirit power fluctuations.
At Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, in a luxurious dormitory, a multiplayer game was already in full swing, more exciting than a movie.
Wild ducks battling on the Fairy Lake, early-rising breakfast stands on the streets, a little mouse stealing food in the kitchen…
If he wanted to know something, he could ignore space and have the images appear directly in his mind.
He could even see through a hundred meters of earth, observing the subterranean river flowing quietly below.
With another thought, various unusual scenes suddenly began to flash around Nangong Lingyun.
Lifelike figures, objects that were hard to distinguish between real and fake, and even entire complex scenes…
A large number of things were rapidly conjured, then fell apart and changed into others.
This was a minor ability, a branch of the principle of turning the negative into the positive: to materialize the unreal.
Unlike illusions, which acted on the senses and consciousness, everything created by this ability was a physical entity of energy. It didn't need to deceive the target's mind; it could be seen directly with the eyes.
If he cultivated it to a certain level, he might even be able to make them permanent.
Watching the group of dancing girls in front of him swaying their waists, with their perfect figures and faces all resembling the screen goddesses from his past life, Nangong Lingyun couldn't help but smile.
This feeling… it's really great. Fifty million wasn't spent in vain.
Excited internally, he turned to Angel Yan and asked:
"How's the realism?"
Materializing from the void was just using energy to simulate colors, shapes, textures, etc., not actually creating real objects. It could be understood as a kind of three-dimensional artwork.
Therefore, whether it could fool someone, and what level of opponent it could fool, depended on the "painting" skill.
Angel Yan was very straightforward,
"Except for these beauties, the realism of other things isn't high. For example, the tree you just materialized, all the leaves are exactly the same, not to mention the refraction, scattering, and reflection of light passing through those leaves, resulting in different light and shadow densities in every inch."
Even a beautiful woman's clothing, the folds and the ends of her hair, didn't change with her movements while dancing.
Ordinary people might not notice, but any Spirit Master with strong mental power could immediately spot the problem.
"To unleash the true power of this skill, you'll need a lot of practice."
"Alright." Nangong Lingyun reluctantly retracted his Martial Soul.
"What's happening with the team these past few days?"
"Qin Likui is overseeing and providing security. As for the training, Xiao Wu is leading Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the newcomer Dugu Yan, while Jing Ling is leading the others.
Everything is normal; nothing out of the ordinary."
"Good. Let Headmaster Qin handle things for a few more days."
It was about four days before Shrek Academy arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
He needed to hone his illusion to perfection before then.
Back in the palace, Nangong Lingyun opened the system shop and used his inner voice to input:
"Overgod King-level External Spirit Bone, Supreme Revere Pupils.
Ability One: Pierce Illusion, See Reality.
See through all illusions and disguises, unaffected by illusions, Discern flaws and weaknesses, including spirit skills, attacks, etc.
In addition, everything seen can be perfectly replicated in detail within the illusion, including mental illusions and physical illusions.
Two: Destruction God Light, condense his mental and physical energy, Yin and Yang, and the power of space-time to the maximum extent, unleashing an extreme attack."
Ignore defense, and can directly attack the soul.
Three: Memory Investigation, can review, modify, delete, and forge fragments of other people's memories, which are difficult for the person to detect.
Four: Fate Interference. Develop the Fate Interference characteristic of the Chaos Holy Spirit Martial Soul and the head spirit bone, which can discern, peep, induce, interfere with, weaken, or strengthen the target's power of fate.
Five: Comprehensive enhancement of mental abilities.
"As for the spirit bone's age, leave five million Pleasure Points for emergencies, and pour the rest in. The higher, the better."
As soon as the words fell, images instantly appeared in the center of the screen.
As a custom spirit bone, he could choose his favorite style, and no matter what it looked like, there would be no extra charge.
Nangong Lingyun glanced at them, and there were quite a few styles for the Supreme Revere Pupils.
Some had an extra pair of eyes, becoming four-eyed; some had two pupils side-by-side, resembling ∞; and some had concentric circles, with a layer of colored light rings outside the normal pupils.
There were even normal eyes, but the pupils were unusually bright and vibrant, like a bright spot on a black ball.
The first two were immediately rejected as being ugly. The last one could barely be considered not ugly.
After choosing the most attractive one from the third category, he decisively pressed the confirm button.
It was a light blue eyeball with a purple pupil in the center, and black borders and pupil on the inside and outside.
Between the borders and the pupil, there were countless tiny, shimmering silver spots scattered about, slowly and irregularly swirling, like a cut-off Milky Way.
What made Nangong Lingyun feel a little heartbroken was that the price of this Overgod King-level External Spirit Bone was actually higher than that of a head spirit bone.
It cost twenty-five million Pleasure Points, and the resulting lifespan was only 250,000 years, equivalent to ten times the normal consumption.
However, he had anticipated the high price, considering it involved the power of fate.
So, he only felt a pang of regret but didn't give up.
After the purchase, Nangong Lingyun didn't hesitate and immediately began absorbing it.
Compared to the skull, the Supreme Revere Pupils' age was much lower, only a quarter. The absorption was not as difficult.
