Chapter 54: "A Heart That Encompass The Heavens"

 He could sense the spatial dimensions not as static and rigid constructs but as fluid and malleable forces, capable of being shaped and influenced by his will. This newfound perception was exhilarating, and Ning Feng felt as if he were peering through a window into the underlying mechanics of the universe.

He started to experiment with this nascent understanding. At first, it was a mere flicker, a brief sensation of altering the space around him. He focused on the area immediately surrounding his body, attempting to feel the minute fluctuations and subtle currents of spatial energy. To his amazement, he succeeded in sensing small distortions in space caused by qi, bending the light and air in faint but perceptible ways.

His mind raced with possibilities. He envisioned manipulating space to traverse great distances in an instant, to create barriers impervious to any attack, or to confound his enemies by altering their perceptions of reality. This non - existent grasp of the space concept felt like touching the edge of a vast ocean, each ripple inviting him to dive deeper.

Hehehehehehe.......

"Calm down, I need to calm down." He was terrified, what kind of state is his mind going in, he will break his current state that was provided to him by the pillar of golden light.

Ning Feng's body and mind were in perfect harmony as he embraced this burgeoning comprehension. The golden light that enveloped him seemed to respond to his newfound insight, intensifying and shimmering with renewed vigor. He felt a profound connection to the universe, as if the very stars and galaxies were within his reach.

As he continued to meditate, the concept of space gradually became more integrated into his being. The understanding he gained was still in its infancy, but it laid the foundation for future mastery. Ning Feng knew that this was just the beginning, a tantalizing glimpse of the incredible potential that awaited him on his path of cultivation.

He gradually calmed down, he realized that if he tried to grasp the space concept , he will be torn apart piece by piece from within.

"I think I probably would have to wait till I reach core formation in order to grasp it." He thought with a frown.

High level concepts are too abstruse and too violent , no one without a dao seal on a lower levels can handle it.

As Ning Feng stood bathed in the golden light, a sudden shift in the cosmic energy around him made his heart skip a beat. The pillar of golden light, which had been his guide into the realm of enlightenment, began to fade. In its place, a new column of radiance descended from the heavens, dazzling and multifaceted, a pillar of rainbow-colored light. This prismatic beacon was vibrant and alive, each hue pulsating with a different energy frequency. The colors swirled and blended, creating a kaleidoscopic spectacle that enveloped Ning Feng in its ethereal embrace.

The rainbow light's touch was both invigorating and overwhelming, filling Ning Feng with a sense of boundless possibility and profound transformation. His enlightenment deepened, and he felt his very essence resonating with the myriad colors. However, this newfound harmony was abruptly shattered by an intense, searing pain in his left eye.

Ning Feng's body tensed, and a scream tore from his throat as the agony intensified. It felt as if molten metal was being poured into his eye socket, burning and reshaping everything in its path. His left eye began to leak blood, the crimson liquid streaming down his face and staining his robes. The pain was excruciating, a relentless assault on his senses that threatened to consume his consciousness.

As the torment reached its peak, Ning Feng's vision in his left eye blurred, and he could feel a profound change taking place. The blood that leaked from his eye seemed to be infused with the rainbow light, shimmering with a mystical glow. Gradually, the agony subsided, replaced by a strange sensation of metamorphosis.

Within his left eye, a golden five-spoke star began to form, its luminescent points spreading outwards and covering the area within his red pupils. The crimson hue of his pupil darkened, taking on an almost black shade, while the overall color of his eye transformed into a deep, dark red. The sclera, once white, now had a golden ring encircling it, a vivid contrast to the darkened pupil.

The transformation left Ning Feng gasping for breath, his body trembling from the intensity of the experience. The pain, though now dulled, had been replaced by a sense of profound power and clarity. His left eye, no longer just a physical organ, had become a conduit for immense energy and insight.

As he acclimated to this new state, Ning Feng realized that his vision through the mutated eye had changed dramatically. He could see the flow of energy in the world around him with unprecedented clarity. Every object, every being, was surrounded by a shimmering aura of qi, its movement and intensity laid bare before his gaze. The rainbow light that had catalyzed his transformation now seemed to be a part of him, its vibrant hues reflected in the depths of his eye.

The golden five-spoke star pulsed with a rhythmic glow, syncing with the beat of his heart. Each pulse sent waves of energy through his body, enhancing his senses and amplifying his perception. Ning Feng could feel the power coursing through him, a heady mix of strength and enlightenment that left him exhilarated and slightly apprehensive.

As he focused on his surroundings, the golden ring within the sclera of his left eye seemed to interact with the ambient energies, allowing him to manipulate them with a mere thought. He could bend light, shift shadows, and alter the flow of qi with an ease that astounded him. The pain and bloodshed had been a necessary price for this extraordinary gift, a crucible through which he had been reborn.

Ning Feng's scream had subsided into heavy breaths, his face streaked with blood and sweat. He wiped his eye, feeling the sticky warmth of his own blood, and looked at his reflection in a nearby pool of water. The dark red eye, with its golden star and ring, stared back at him, both alien and familiar. It was a reminder of the power he now wielded and the path he had chosen.

The natural world seemed to respond to his newfound presence. The air crackled with energy, the leaves rustled in anticipation, and even the river’s flow seemed to harmonize with his heartbeat. Ning Feng stood taller, his eyes—one normal, one transformed—reflecting a balance of old wisdom and new power.

 This moment marked the dawn of a new era in his cultivation journey.

It's the same blessing master got back then. Holographic old dwarf thought to himself .

He sighed as looked around.

"It took so long for him, second trial i about to end I guess he doesn't need to prove anything but as for the rest , hehehehe....".

On screens in front of him only about 81 people passed the first trial but a lot of them reached the target position way past the acceptable limit in his eyes.

And since he is the gaurdian spirit assignedto look over the test and the abode, he has certain rights and he also had the right to add useless things like morals to the test.

"Some of the trash here actually forsake the people they were with to pass eventhough, it appeared like they even knew them before hand. Well, master always said the one could who bring the fated change will have -
