Chapter 171 Ch-171: Celestial Sword Sect????
"Huh, how did I learn a technique all of a sudden?" Wang Ming muttered, a frown etched on his face, as the system notified him about his newfound skill.
"Immortal's Gaze? Hmm, let's check its rank," mumbled Wang Ming, his curiosity piqued as the system revealed the details of the technique.
[ Rank: Mythic]
[ Description: A pupil technique of the highest order developed by a powerful immortal who existed long ago. When the user activates it, their pupil turns golden, and a tremendous pressure envelops the person under its gaze. The technique can render even cultivators at higher realms than the user motionless and shaking in fear. If used on someone with a lower rank, and power output is not controlled, it may turn the target into a mist of blood. After reaching a suitable cultivation level, the user can even shatter planets and stars with a simple gaze.]
Wang Ming drew in a substantial breath, his eyes widening in sheer astonishment as he absorbed the intricate details of the technique.
"Could this technique be the cause of all this?" he murmured, casting a gaze upon the corpses of the beasts that had mindlessly charged at him mere moments ago. The once pristine floor now bore witness to a macabre scene, bathed in the crimson hue of spilled blood.
The old man, who had been watching Wang Ming effortlessly turn the beasts into a mist of blood, stood frozen in place. His eyes were wide with amazement as he continued to stare at Wang Ming. Suddenly snapping out of his daze, the old man looked at Wang Ming with a mix of astonishment and a hint of fear on his face.
"Hey, what the hell was that gold-" Just as the old man was about to inquire about Wang Ming's golden eyes that had exerted immense pressure moments ago, he choked, feeling something tightening around his throat. His face reddened with pain. Hastily releasing his grip on his throat, he abandoned any thought of asking about Wang Ming's eyes, and the pain vanished instantly.
'This... why are the heavenly laws preventing me from speaking about those eyes to him?' the old man thought in shock, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead. He had heard and read in books that sometimes the heavenly laws would intervene to prevent someone from saying or doing certain things. However, he couldn't fathom why it stopped him from asking Wang Ming and grew even more curious about those eyes.
Wang Ming didn't notice the stare he was getting from the old man, engrossed in the current notification from the system.
[Ding Dong]

Wang Ming wasn't surprised; he had already taken down many beasts of Pure Core Realm before falling unconscious
After Wang Ming shifted his gaze from the text, he looked back at the beasts lying there and wondered if it was really his technique that had killed so many of them. Glancing at the old man for clarification, he noticed the old man staring at him with wide eyes.
"Hey, old man, do you know what happened? Was I the one who caused this?" Wang Ming asked, gesturing towards the corpses of the beasts nearby. The old man remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"You really don't remember anything," the old man said calmly, as if this situation was not new to him.
"Remember what?" Wang Ming asked with a frown on his face.
"Forget it. To answer your question, yes, indeed, you were the one who killed all the beasts," the old man replied calmly.
"Hmm, why don't I remember anything? Can you elaborate?" Wang Ming asked, intrigued.
"I'm afraid I cannot. The heavenly laws are preventing me," the old man replied calmly, leaving Wang Ming even more confused, his frown deepening.
'System, what the hell are these heavenly laws, and why is it preventing him?' Wang Ming asked the system, noticing the serious look on the old man's face.
[System Message: The heavenly laws are rules that govern and maintain the existence of this world. The reason why the heavenly law is preventing the user from gaining information about what happened is that the user is not eligible to know at his current strength.]
Wang Ming's frown deepened upon hearing the system's reply, and he couldn't help but sigh when he realized that he could not get information at the moment.
"So, what reward do I receive for conquering all the floors of this treasure pagoda?" Wang Ming inquired, redirecting his gaze towards the old man. His excitement bubbled as he anticipated the kind of reward awaiting him for achieving what was deemed an impossible feat. The old man met his gaze with a mix of complicated emotions, yet a hint of excitement lingered in his eyes.
"Well, you don't receive any reward for completing all the floors," the old man replied, leaving Wang Ming stunned.
"What do you mean I won't get rewarded? Doesn't everyone who ascends even a single floor receive something?" Wang Ming furrowed his eyebrows, voicing his expectation of receiving earth-shattering rewards for completing all the floors. However, the old man's response was unexpected.
"Sigh, honestly, there was no reward for the hundredth floor in the first place because we expected no one to ever conquer it. You not only did that but also activated the most difficult challenge. I did not expect to encounter such a monstrous talent in the lower heavens. Even though there's no formal reward, I can offer you something," the old man said with excitement, tossing a token towards Wang Ming. Wang Ming caught it, noticing something engraved on the wooden token.
"Celestial Sword Sect," Wang Ming muttered
