Eye System

Chapter 98: Confidence

"Help me save her" called out Lex in the open temple as his voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Put her down and wait for your next commands" ordered Lex to his clone.

Withdrawing two Mortal Recovery Pills, knowing that if he gave her any more she would overdose and it would only have inverse effects, Lex stuffed them into Angela's mouth as he took off his shirt and ripped it apart to form bandages that he wrapped around her wounds that were leaking blood.

Angela's saint power and vitality was battling for her survival, but was still incapable of closing all her wounds and functioning her collapsing body.

The healing pills kick-started her recovery and reinvigorated her saint healing, but it still wasn't confirmed that she would survive from such fatal wounds.

Mist swarmed next to Lex and formed the figure of the Jade Empress.

"Help heal her please" pleaded Lex who was watching her life slip through his hands again.

"What if she isn't worthy and would only be a waste of my fading energy as a spirit" stated the Jade Empress coldly without an ounce of remorse.

After thousands of years of cultivation and battle, the death of a few young girls on a mere island, that was insignificant in her eyes, after her death was nothing to the Icy Queen that once was one of the few that reached the pinnacle of the Lower Plains.

"Watch your mouth" roared Lex at the Jade Empress furiously as he glared at her.

The Jade Empress for the first in her thousands of years of life with her power, strength and wealth felt a small hint of fear after looking at his glaring eyes.

Placing her palm on Angela's forehead she was instantly surprised after testing her spiritual roots for cultivation.

"She has dual spiritual roots that are opposing in elements but somehow have reached a harmony within her body and..." she exclaimed in shock, but was stopped before she could state the rest of her observations.

"Now heal her" interrupted Lex not caring about what she had to say.

Ordering a few corpse beasts to come to her, the Jade Empress withdrew their corpse cores as they disintegrated into dust.

Controlling the energy from the corpse cores, the Jade Empress steamed it into Angela's body and focused on her saint healing spiritual root to produce more vitality to heal her.

The Jade Empress was merely a spirit and lost the ability to store energy after her death and was only able to stay in existence over these years with her strong soul that was still lingering as a spirit and controlling the area with her strong soul force that allowed her to manipulate the environment and protect the golden temple with corpses.

However, over time her soul force was dwindling which is why she was so desperate to find a worthy successor or her thousands of years of legacy would end there.

After Lex began to visibly see Angela's body beginning to heal and improve, he collapsed backwards and wiped the nervous sweat off his forehead.

He felt a weird tingling sensation in his eyes when he became angry at her, but shrugged it off as merely the Eye Demon gaining slight control due to is uncontrollable emotions and didn't think too deeply into it.

Deactivating Dual Eye and his left eye that had the Scouting Eye activated, both of Lex's eyes looked black and normal but his right eye actually still had the Self-Cloning Eye activated.

"Cultivate and absorb as much energy as you can in the corner over there" ordered Lex to his clone as he pointed at the corner of the open main hall.

Instantly the clone headed over to the corner of the hall and sat cross-legged and began to semi-cultivate to the best of the ability that it could according to Lex's knowledge.

"Your ability is so fascinating and although there are other rare cloning skills and abilities I have seen, but yours seems to use your eyes as the centre and forms an intelligent clone that has as much strength as the energy that you provide and is obedient to you. Not only that it can also cultivate" observed the Jade Empress.

Lex who was finally able to take a break, and after instantly streaming half his energy into his clone, was fatigued and lay back and relaxed his muscles and body.

"You can observe and analyse me as much as you please, but how about I tell you my observations of you. You regret your past and were betrayed by people you thought were close to you and act all cold but are actually very sensitive and despite your experiences and strength you had over thousands of years, you were never satisfied with yourself" ridiculed Lex, who no longer felt scared around the Jade Empress and was brimming with confidence.

"You dare to speak to me in such a manner" roared the Jade Empress furiously as she controlled the mist around her and lifted Lex from his neck in a strangling hold.

"You even after thousands of years are still affected by the words of a 14-year-old child" stated Lex with an unaffected smile even while being strangled.

[I have the Eye System and will surpass the previously alive Jade Empress] stated Lex within his mind, who felt his confidence in himself had improved massively and was no longer scared about being a victim to fate, but would manipulate it to his wishes.

Releasing her control and letting him drop to the ground, the Jade Empress realised that how she reacted was just proving his point and that she had lost control because of the words of a child.

"On the bright side, at least I know that the successor that you chose was worthy of my inheritance, which she is, will be safe with you protecting her" she stated with an amused smile at her own actions.

"I would like to train, could allow me to use the gravitational pad you" stated Lex, using all the knowledge of his past reality to exploit his current situation.

He knew it was inevitable that he would have to battle the hunters and bandits around the mist grounds, however, they were much stronger than his past reality and there were much more, so he knew he would need to be prepared.

"You know so much and it is almost as though you have already experienced this all" speculated the Jade Empress who was shocked by everything the boy knew.

Lex was able to keep composure and didn't make it obvious that what she had guessed was right, and with his eye knowledge, unlike others, he was able to suppress most of his emotion in his eyes.

She led him to another room that was also formed of gold and was greeted by the familiar 2-metre square pad.

"I assume you know how to control it and here are some corpse cores to fuel the array and cultivate" she stated as she waved her hand and a heap of corpse cores appeared in the corner of the room.

"Clone, come here" ordered Lex.

The clone instantly stopped cultivated and dashed into the room Lex was in.

Closing the door so he could focus on his won training, Lex had an idea.

[System can I produce dozens of clones that all train for me and I can absorb their gains] asked Lex, not being lazy, but wanting to gain strength as quickly as possible.

{Ding, it is possible for the host to do so, but for the host's current state he would only use up to 2 clones otherwise you will strain your eyes and also will struggle to form the clones and may suffer eye strain and other consequences} the system advised.

Hearing this Lex sat down on the ground and began to circulate his energy and absorb energy from the corpse cores to recover his energy that he used to form the clone.

After an hour Lex had recovered all his energy, which was much easier for him with the pure energy in the corpse cores that was easy to absorb and store within his body.

The Self-Cloning Eye was already activated in his right eye and in preparation for forming another clone, Lex activated it in his left eye as well.

Self-Cloning had an energy limit of half the energy of the host, and streaming half his energy into his eyes, Lex aimed for the clone to be formed in front of him and relayed the Spacial Eye.

The clone formed in an instant and had completely black eyes that were as deep and endless as the void.

"You shall cultivate the spacial element there" ordered Lex pointing to the corner of the gravitational pad.

"And you will cultivate all energies into your body to gain strength over there" ordered Lex pointing to another corner of the gravitational pad.

"While I train my body" he planned.

Switching on the gravitational pad and providing it with corpse cores it was instantaneously activated and tripled the gravity over them.

The clones sat down under the pressure and were strengthening their bodies and resistance slightly as they cultivated and were increasing their energy storages and internal strength, while Lex focused completely on training his body and his techniques.
