Time Stopped for a Thousand Years! The Female Leads Have Darkened! - Chapter 53:

Chapter 53: The Thousand-Year Spirit Devouring Stone:

Innate double pupils, the mark of an emperor, the potential of a sage!

In Ye Wuhen’s previous world, there was such a saying.

Throughout history, only eight people were born with double pupils, such as Cang Jie, who created Chinese characters, and Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, among others…

However, in the Heavenly Continent, there are two extreme views about innate double pupils.

The first was that those with innate double pupils have two spiritual seas in their mind palaces, with mental awareness different from ordinary people. However, they were prone to spiritual sea chaos, becoming half-human, half-demon lunatics…

The second was that those with innate double pupils possessed great fortune, with Dao resonance within their bodies, having the potential to achieve sagehood.

However, the sages of legend have long since vanished in the primordial era.

Although the second view sounded good, it seemed unattainable and hard to believe.

At least in all of Ye Wuhen’s many reincarnations, standing at the peak of countless worlds, he had never seen a sage emerge.

But regardless of the views…

Those with innate double pupils were indeed somewhat extraordinary.

Ye Wuhen hadn’t expected to encounter one here.

…

Noticing Ye Wuhen staring at her eyes, the woman in the black veil quickly lowered her head, and avoided his gaze.

Clearly, she was aware of the myths about innate double pupils.

She was sensitive about her double pupils.

“I… I usually like to read ancient books, so… that’s how I know a bit about the Spirit Devouring Beast.”

“By chance, I came across a Spirit Devouring Stone and bought it!”

The woman in the black veil weakly answered Ye Wuhen’s question.

Ye Wuhen pondered for a moment and understood the situation…

Most likely, this girl had been researching her innate double pupils by reading various ancient books.

It was natural for her to notice the Spirit Devouring Beast, an ancient mythical creature, in those books.

But her luck in acquiring a Spirit Devouring Stone was extraordinary.

This item was extremely rare.

But, that wasn’t the main point…

Ye Wuhen had a bigger question.

“If you know about the Spirit Devouring Beast, you should know that ordinary people wouldn’t recognize a Spirit Devouring Stone.”

“Even if they did recognize it, they couldn’t absorb the internal spiritual Qi!”

“But when you asked for help, you seemed very sure… that I knew about the Spirit Devouring Stone and would be interested in it???”

Ye Wuhen asked each word deliberately.

He wasn’t afraid of people knowing this because, for someone as full of secrets as he was, this didn’t matter much.

But how did this woman, a stranger, know about it?

Could it be… she had also activated her reincarnation memories?

If that were the case, Ye Wuhen would go crazy…

Dealing with the memory-activated Holy Maiden Qingxuan was enough trouble.

If random people kept appearing with reincarnation memories, how could he continue this game!!!

“I…”

“I have a special ability. I am naturally very sensitive to various auras.”

“When you circulated your spiritual Qi earlier, I… I sensed the residual aura of the Spirit Devouring Stone on you.”

“That’s why… I tried saying that!”

“Here, this is what I promised you, a thousand-year Spirit Devouring Stone!”

The woman in the black veil, nervous from Ye Wuhen’s questioning, stammered as she spoke. She retrieved a pitch-black stone, the size of a child’s fist, from her storage pouch.

It was indeed a Spirit Devouring Stone!

This Spirit Devouring Stone was significantly larger than the small piece Ye Wuhen had obtained before.

A thousand years old…

It had absorbed spiritual Qi for a thousand years, just like a mythical Pixiu that only took in and never gave out.

The amount of spiritual Qi contained within was unimaginable!

…

Holding the Spirit Devouring Stone in his hand, feeling its weight, Ye Wuhen’s gaze kept sweeping over the woman in the black veil.

Judging by her demeanor, she didn’t seem to be lying.

This relieved Ye Wuhen.

As long as she hadn’t awakened her reincarnation memories, there wasn’t much of an issue.

But…

This woman did interest Ye Wuhen.

He had merely used the Spirit Devouring Beast’s innate skill when absorbing the energy.

Yet she could sense the Spirit Devouring Beast’s aura???

This sensitivity was indeed interesting…

No wonder she had the legendary, innate double pupils!
