Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 030 - Active

Feng Xian was amazed by Yao Han's unyielding spirit in making pills. Moreover, his disciple had managed to concoct a pill of perfect quality in less than a month. He left three days from the deadline set.

Apart from having five pure spirit roots and having a Qi capacity that was much greater than other cultivators, it was, Yao Han was still a child that could be counted as working hard every day for quite a long time.

Yao Han fell asleep for a few hours and woke up very refreshed. He was a little misbehaved when he realized that he was sleeping on Meirong's lap.

"Teacher Hong..."

"Thank God you're sober, Han'er." Meirong rubbed Yao Han's hair affectionately. Previously, he had enveloped Yao Han's body with the Phoenix Flame to recover Yao Han's condition faster.

There were fruits that Feng Xian had provided for him and Yao Han spent all of them greedily. There was also a large bag of hundred-year-old honey grass.

At Feng Xian's suggestion, Yao Han rested for a few days before continuing his activities. Had intended to continue the other pill-making activities, but he was reminded of his practice.

"There's no harm in practicing before you make another pill..."

Yao Han took a spot and sat down cross-legged. The three teachers watched from a distance. Meirong and Yutian in the form of spirit animals also do not want to miss and practice.

Some time later, a phenomenon appeared in the sky of the Moon Star Island. Clouds began to gather and form black clumps covering the entire island, followed by rumbling sounds and lightning that sprang up.

Feng Xian thought this phenomenon was strange, as he was very familiar with the climate on his island of residence which was different from other places in the Blue Moon Continent. During his stay there, the natural phenomenon of rain can be counted fingers. Meirong and Yutian who also knew the condition of the island were also confused.

"Senior, is there a Lightning Demon on this island?" ask Meirong.

"Yes, there are dozens of them. There are one or two adult Lightning Kings and the powers of the Soul Realm..."

Feng Xian understood the direction of Meirong's question. The Thunder Monarch was a unique demon whose presence could create large-scale wind and lightning storms if it had already reached the Soul Realm. On the Star Moon Island, this demon lives on the border of the lookout zone and danger.

However, Feng Xian was very sure that the strange natural phenomenon that was happening now was not caused by this demon as it was not as severe as the phenomenon caused by the Lightning Immortal Demon.

As the three were still engulfed in confusion and astonishment, something descended from the sky very quickly. Only Feng Xian's eyes could catch the movement of that thing. None other than a spotless pure white lightning followed by a deafening sound of thunder.

BLAARR!!!

"Xiao Han!"

"Han 'er!

Feng Xian could have calmed down had the lightning not pointed at Yao Han. The lightning strike produced a white puff of smoke covering Feng Xian, Meirong, and Yutian's gaze at Yao Han.

Immediately Feng Xian darted near Yao Han followed by Meirong and Yutian who arrived a few counts later. When he wanted to eliminate the white smoke, a shock wave hit towards the three.

"What the fuck..."

Although surprised, Feng Xian swung his hand. After the white smoke disappeared, the three stared at Yao Han.

Not only had Yao Han since the beginning of the natural phenomenon gone silent reacting unperturbed, but he was also fine after being struck by lightning. Plus Yao Han's body was emitting a bright blue light.

Yao Han opened his eyes slowly, which emitted a gray glow for three seconds before disappearing along with the light on his body. After adjusting his eyesight, Yao Han was slightly startled by the presence of his three teachers.

"Why are the teachers gathered?"

No one answered, they looked up at the sky. Yao Han looked up and did not see anything strange. The sky had already brightened back as usual, leaving the three master Yao Han in a daze. Their gazes returned to Yao Han.

"Han'er, your eyes..." Meirong pointed at Yao Han's eyes.

"Why my eyes?" Feng Xian gave a mirror to the curious Yao Han, "Eh? Why are my eyes so gray?"

Feng Xian narrowed his eyes, Yao Han's reaction looked not too surprised. He told her what had happened and Yao Han's reaction made her curious.

"So so..." Yao Han stroked his chin.

He told me that after sensing his practice leveling up, there was the sound of someone whispering in his mind, saying that his Heavenly Eyes and Body had been active.

Feng Xian began to understand this strange thing. Indeed he sensed that there was something strange about Yao Han's body.

The Perceptible Eyes ability that Yao Han's unique Heavenly Eyes possessed was similar to one of the Heavenly Senses' abilities. See through view with a certain range of distances. For the time being his visibility was around ten meters.

The weakness of the Heavenly Sense in terms of sight was that other living beings would realize being watched using the Heavenly Sense, but Yao Han's special eyes did not have this weakness.

"There are seventy-two types of Heavenly Eyes and forty-nine types of Heavenly Bodies that are so far known. Given that the cultivation world has many mysteries yet to be revealed, perhaps this is a new kind of Heavenly Eyes and Body..." Yutian.

Feng Xian who had lived for almost a thousand years did not know much about these two things, but neither he nor Meirong agreed to Yutian's opinion.

The lightning that had previously grabbed Yao Han's body was the active sign or 'helper' of his Heavenly Eyes and Body. Yao Han recalled Bai Tian saying that after these two things were active, then Yao Han's cultivation life could not be separated from the lightning strike.

"Sounds dangerous even though it will strengthen your body," Feng Xian commented.

"I've never heard of any cultivator living such a life" Meirong said, "What do you think, Senior?"

"There's actually one person. We know him as the Western Lightning..."

"Eh? Senior Xi?!" Meirong.

Feng Xian added that Xi Lei the Western Lightning was steeped in a high-level practice manual capable of summoning lightning and Xi Lei's pure spirit root that the lightning element was able to absorb.

Yutian instead found enlightenment, "Isn't there anything good about this? At least Han'er would become more immune to lightning element attacks and the moment he formed the Sky Foundation, he would easily pass through the ordeal of Heavenly Lightning."

Feng Xian agreed with Yutian, "You could say, in the past, the Old Lightning was able to withstand direct attacks and pass through the ordeal of the Heavenly Lightning easily due to its condition..."
