Their eyes had been blind for decades at most, or at least three to five years, and they all believed they would have to live in darkness forever. Unexpectedly, today they regained the light.

They all knew that their eyes had been taken by the Golden-eyed Divine Beast statue before them, but now Ling Chen had passed the test of the Golden-eyed Divine Beast, breaking the curse that had lasted over a hundred years.

A quick thought would reveal that their restoration of sight was most likely due to Ling Chen overcoming the challenge!

At this moment, their hearts were full of gratitude towards Ling Chen!

Those who have never been blind do not know the terror of losing sight, living completely in darkness, having lost the most precious thing. Now that the most precious thing is regained, their feelings at this moment are naturally imaginable. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

However, the happiest person now was probably Ling Tingfeng. Ling Chen's transformation is truly miraculous, not only mastering the Golden True Eyes himself but also restoring the sight of many Ling Family geniuses who went blind from cultivating the Golden Sword Pupil.

The brilliant golden gleam slowly faded from Ling Chen's eyes, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.

However, Ling Chen did not stand up, as he had only just completed the first step in cultivating the Golden Sword Pupil.

First, one must condense the Golden True Eyes to qualify for cultivating the subsequent techniques of the Golden Sword Pupil.

In the vast boundless mental world.

At this moment, the Golden Eye Divine Beast lay completely down before Ling Chen, its breath weak.

It was clear that the Human Emperor's strike had caused no small harm to it, and this Golden Eye Divine Beast already knew it was no match for the Human Emperor, so why resist pointlessly.

It seemed it had fallen into Ling Chen's hands this time.

"Miscreant, I have passed the test; the incantation of the Golden Sword Pupil should be told to me."

Ling Chen looked at the Golden Eye Divine Beast lying on the ground and said calmly.

Hearing this, the Golden Eye Divine Beast dared not show any resistance. It suddenly raised its head, and a glow surged again in its golden eye pupils.

Upon seeing this, Ling Chen quickly retreated, but this time the light shot from the Golden Eye Divine Beast's eyes was gentle. This gentle light unfolded in front, forming a phantom scene.

The light condensed into a human figure at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Ling Chen could now see clearly that it was a man holding a golden sword, clad in golden battle armor. This man exuded a powerful aura that radiated the terrifying power of a high-ranking Saint.

"This should be the creator of the Golden Sword Pupil, the Golden Sword Saint."

Ling Chen's eyes turned serious; before coming, he had learned some information about the Golden Sword Pupil from Ling Tingfeng. This Golden Sword Saint was one of the few high-ranking Saints in the history of the Ling Family.

The story of this Golden Sword Saint even had a touch of legend. His sword way deviated from the norm, creating many unusual martial arts, but in the end, only this Golden Sword Pupil was passed down.

Swish!

The figure existed only for a moment before vanishing, and then the void shook. The twisted, shattered glow reassembled into ancient characters, which now roared out and ultimately transformed into four ancient golden characters at the top, suspended before Ling Chen, exuding an extremely sharp aura.

Golden Sword Pupil!

Ling Chen stared at those four ancient characters before him, and even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited at this moment.

"This Golden Sword Pupil takes an unconventional path and does indeed have its ingenious aspects, but you, young one, need not be overly excited."

The Human Emperor seemed to find Ling Chen's display a bit excessive, feeling that the latter was making a fuss over nothing, but then he changed the subject, "However, as for the profundity and potential, it cannot compare to the martial arts contained within the Void Emperor's royal decree."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen's mind slightly moved; no doubt the martial arts referred to in the Void Emperor's royal decree was Thunder Cut. The power of Thunder Cut, although not particularly strong at present, had great room for improvement and limitless potential.

However, as it stands, once Ling Chen successfully cultivates the Golden Sword Pupil, its power will definitely surpass Thunder Cut.

"When you reach a higher level, I will teach you the Emperor-level Secret Scripts, and by then, you will know how disappointing your current self is."

The Human Emperor said calmly.

"Emperor-level Secret Scripts!"

Ling Chen's pupils shrank slightly. Emperor-level Secret Scripts, that is a mythical existence, ranked above Sacred Martial Arts, and such martial arts truly possessed the power of the Ghost God, with the power to destroy heaven and earth. Ordinary strong ones, or even some super sects, could not reach it.

Nevertheless, Ling Chen also knew the Human Emperor was merely tempting him; such things were still a considerable distance from what he could currently cultivate.

At present, aside from Thunder Cut, the strongest technique he had was the Red Sky Sword Technique. Although the Red Sky Sword Technique had good power, it was only of the mid-Saint grade level.

And the monstrous geniuses of the Nine Great Families cultivated family secret skills, mostly of high Saint grade or even top-tier martial arts. The Red Sky Sword Technique, compared to them, was undoubtedly less powerful.

The Ling Family's strongest sword technique, the Sky-breaking Sword Technique, was an outstanding martial art of the high Saint grade, and there was rarely any martial art at this level that could match its power.

And the Golden Sword Pupil's power was comparable to top-tier Sacred Martial Arts, its upper limit even higher than the Sky-breaking Sword Technique. However, due to the rarity of successful cultivators within the Ling Family, its influence did not match the Sky-breaking Sword Technique.

After all, it has been more than a hundred years since the Ling Family last witnessed the power of the Golden Sword Pupil.

Calming his turbulent emotions, Ling Chen then sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and his face gradually settled down.

As Ling Chen's mind concentrated, the four ancient characters hovering around him immediately roared down. Once in contact with Ling Chen, they directly entered through his brow.

"Buzz buzz!"

The four ancient characters drilled into his mind, and Ling Chen's body immediately trembled violently. He could feel the extremely obscure mental skills and move information roar open in his mind, making him feel a splitting headache.

Hum.

A low groan tinged with pain came from Ling Chen's throat, and then he gritted his teeth, forcefully suppressing the intense pain, and fully focused his mind, beginning to receive the vast and obscure information in his mind.

The martial arts of such a level, even though he had acquired it now, still wouldn't be easy to successfully cultivate. However, Ling Chen had no fear, having passed the hardest trial, and now that the duck was at his mouth, would it still escape?
