Looking at the two little girls' smug faces, Yun Lintian chuckled and placed them on a chair nearby.
At this moment, Cang Xiao walked out of the kitchen with a cart full of delicacies. When she saw Yun Lintian, she was surprised slightly bowed her head politely at him.
Yun Lintian sniffed the aroma and said, "It seems Head Chef Cang's culinary skill has improved once again."
"You have overpraised me, Headmaster." Cang Xiao was replied modestly and placed all the dishes on the table.
Although the two little girls were greedy for food, they didn't lose the manner and looked at Yun Lintian for permission first.
"Let's eat." Yun Lintian beckoned them and used chopsticks to pick up tomato salad into his mouth.
Yun Lintian's eyes lit up after chewing a few times. "Delicious!" He didn't expect the spirit crop would be this much different from the usual crop. Now he understood why a practitioner would prefer spirit food over anything.
Cang Xiao smiled from ear to ear. She was slightly nervous as she worried the food she made might not suit Yun Lintian's taste. But now, seeing Yun Lintian's happy expression, the heavy stone on her chest was lifted.
"Come. Eat with us." Yun Lintian beckoned Cang Xiao to sit down, and the latter complied obediently.
The meal went on with no one talking as they were busy devouring the food.
Buzz—
Suddenly, Yun Lintian's body shook, and he felt he was about to make a breakthrough.
"What the…" Yun Lintian's eyes widened open in shock and hurriedly left the table, leaving Cang Xiao and others looking at him in a daze.
Yun Lintian arrived at the Profound Spirit Lake, currently known as the Misty Lake, and jumped into it without hesitation.
Yun Ruanyu, who was not far away, saw this and immediately arrived nearby Yun Lintian along.
Yun Lintian closed his eyes, letting his body float on the surface, and circulated the profound energy according to the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture.
Instantaneously, a powerful aura erupted from Yun Lintian's body, causing the lake's surface to ripple. The spiritual mist around the lake gradually gathered around Yun Lintian, forming into a mini cyclone a moment later.
The commotion caused everyone around the lake to look at him, and they were immediately stunned when they saw the cyclone around Yun Lintian drawing the water nearby and formed into a giant water pillar.
"What's going on?" Even the resourceful person like Yun Ruanyu was also shocked by the scene. She never heard anyone could cause this huge commotion during breaking through to the Essence Profound Realm.
Yun Qianxue, Yun Huanxin, Yun Meilan, Yun Lingwei, and Yun Qingrou arrived beside Yun Ruanyu, one by one, and stood dumbfounded there, looking at the water pillar.
"Is he okay?" Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Huanxin, as she was the most powerful person right now.
Yun Huanxin used her Spiritual Sense to check on Yun Lintian, and a frown appeared on her face. "This is not right. Why would his body constantly break and reconstructing? This is not the nature when people are breaking through to the Essence Profound Realm."
Hearing this, Yun Qianxue was anxious, but she didn't know how to help Yun Lintian. She hurriedly went back to the villa and asked Lynn about it.
"Don't worry, Miss. This is a normal occurrence. Master will be safe and sound." Lynn answered, but her answer failed to ease Yun Qianxue's restlessness.
Currently, Yun Lintian began to feel extreme pain all over his body. But it soon turned numb as his mind entered the state of emptiness.
"Nothing can escape from the Eyes of Heaven…." Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed in Yun Lintian's mind. The voice was vague and faint to the point that Yun Lintian could not hear properly. The only thing he could hear clearly was the words' Eyes of Heaven' and nothing else.
"Eyes of Heaven? What is that?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind, but there was no answer as the ancient voice seemed to disappear completely.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a loud bang occurred in Yun Lintian's mind, and he felt as his eyes were stabbed by tens of thousands of blades before burning with scorching heat.
"Ughhhh…" A wave of pain emanated from a force devouring Yun Lintian's eyes, making him let out a painful whine. His entire body started to shake tremendously while the water pillar spun rapidly and crashed with him from time to time.
"Lintian!" Yun Qianxue was anxious when she heard his painful cry. She was about to rush at him, but Yun Huanxin held her back firmly.
"Let me go!" Yun Qianxue shouted angrily, but Yun Huanxin turned deaf as she had a clearer picture of Yun Lintian's situation than Yun Qianxue.
"We shouldn't intervene in his process. Just believe in him." Yun Ruanyu blocked Yun Qianxue and said.
Yun Qianxue took a deep breath to calm herself down and stared attentively at the water pillar. She knew this was a crucial moment for Yun Lintian, and she should not let her emotion get over her.
The surrounding profound energy flew toward Yun Lintian from all directions and was constantly absorbed by him. Every broken bone and wound within his body was gradually recovered at an abnormally high speed.
The scorching pain in Yun Lintian's eyes was still going on for several minutes before it gradually subsided, wholly disappeared.
At this moment, Yun Lintian could clearly feel he had already broken through to the first level of the Essence Profound Realm, but his current strength was even surpassed the tenth level.
While he was perceiving his new strength, the water pillar gradually dissipated along with the spiritual mist.
When Yun Qianxue and the rest saw Yun Lintian was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief and began to approach him.
Just as they were about to reach Yun Lintian's side, Yun Lintian suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light burst out from his eyes, making everyone rooted on the spot and stared at him blankly.
Yun Lintian's vision was blurry, as he could only see the golden sheen. In the next moment, he seemed to see the flow of profound energy around him. After carefully checking and confirmed he had indeed seen the energy flow, he was dumbfounded for a second before he thought of something and mumbled. "Eyes of Heaven?"
