Chapter 4 Eye of the Sky
As if he had obtained a new toy, Li Daoxuan opened and closed his eyes to try out the thing that looked like eyes between his eyebrows.

He closed his eyes and felt that the world became clear. He could see clearly left, right, front, and back. He could even see the scenery behind his head.
"This, this... could it be the legendary Heavenly Eye?" Li Daoxuan was extremely happy. He had not expected that the surprise would come so suddenly.

The so-called Heavenly Eye is a supernatural power gained from the enlightenment of the Niwan Palace. It is said that the Heavenly Eye can reach up to the Ninth Heaven and steal the Yellow Spring. Even the demons and monsters in the mortal world, even if they are disguised as human beings, can be clearly seen by the Heavenly Eye.

This kind of Dharma Eye is not an ordinary thing. Even the ancestors recorded in the Maoshan scriptures have never been able to open the third eye. Naturally, the records of this Dharma Eye are not detailed, and it is impossible to explain it clearly. It is only said that "the center of the eyebrows is the third eye, which is the main door for the three lights to come in and out."

It is said that the ultimate cultivation of the Heavenly Eye is the third Dharma Eye of Erlang Zhenjun, which can illuminate the nine underworlds and the ten directions of the world.

Li Daoxuan didn't know if his celestial eye was like this, so he looked carefully. He felt a golden light enter his consciousness one inch from the center of his eyebrows and eyes, and this golden light entered the ruler and scattered the skin and flesh in his consciousness. Just by closing his eyes and looking carefully, he felt a golden light emerging in the chaotic darkness.

Seeing this wonder, Li Daoxuan thought of what was said in the "Dongzhen Taishang Daojun Yuandan Shangjing": "There are nine palaces in the head: one inch above the two eyebrows is the Mingtang Palace, two inches above is the Dongfang Palace, three inches above is the Dantian Palace, four inches above is the Liuzhu Palace, and five inches above is the Jade Emperor Palace; one inch above the Mingtang is the Tianting Palace, one inch above the Dongfang is the Jizhen Palace, one inch above the Dantian is the Xuandan Palace, and one inch above the Liuzhu is the Taihuang Palace."

If he was correct, when this golden light entered his consciousness, that would be the location of the Mingtang Palace.

Mingtang Palace is where the Great Emperor of Longevity lives. The Great Emperor of Longevity is called Jade Pure True King, who controls all spirits and controls the changes of the four seasons. He is the key to the birth, fortune and disaster of all things.

Although he didn't know what changes would happen in the Mingtang Palace, Li Daoxuan knew that the residence of the Great Emperor Changsheng must be very special. He was not sure what would happen after the Mingtang Palace was opened.

The Sky Eye can inspect the surroundings, which is indeed useful. At least in future martial arts competitions, the brothers will not be able to attack him from behind.

Li Daoxuan was quite interested in playing with the third eye, but he felt dizzy. His eyelids were heavy, and he yawned unconsciously. He wanted to open his eyes, but found it extremely difficult. His consciousness was hazy, and he fell asleep as soon as his head tilted.

The Jade Emperor Hall was suddenly in chaos, and the Taoists around Li Daoxuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Junior Brother Li has fallen down!!"

"Quick! Go find a doctor!"

"Doctor? Where is the doctor? I learned all this in vain!"

"Junior brother, wake up!"

……

There were so many people talking and chatting that it looked like a chicken coop. There were people busy and confused, and the quiet Jade Emperor Hall looked like a vegetable market.

The old Taoist sat on the lotus platform in the Jade Emperor Hall, and he felt a headache watching the scene. His white eyebrows knitted together, and he looked at Li Daoxuan who had fallen to the ground helplessly. Pulling off a handful of white beard in his hand, the old Taoist couldn't help but sigh.

"Evil creatures, evil creatures. All of you, be quiet before your master."

After shouting three times, the disciples gradually quieted down. They realized that they were still in the Jade Emperor Hall, so they lowered their heads and thought quietly for fear of being punished.

The old Taoist ignored these traitors and just stepped down from the lotus platform and walked to Li Daoxuan. He stretched out his hand to feel the boy's philtrum and found that he was still breathing. He pinched the boy's wrist and felt that his pulse was steady and there was no sign of illness or injury. He flipped his eyelids again and saw the black and white eyes. This healthy look must not be an accident, but he just fell asleep.

The old Taoist looked down at the beard in his hand and found that it had turned white. In his ears were the disciples' cautious inquiries, all of them concerned about the safety of the younger disciple.

"Master, Junior Brother Li, is he... okay?"

Looking at the honest-looking disciple, the old Taoist sighed again. The disciple immediately looked sad, with tears in his eyes.

"Master, please don't be sad. If Junior Brother Li is gone, it's because he didn't have the blessing of Taoism. You should take care of your health and don't hurt yourself."

The old Taoist said nothing, picked up the book in front of the disciple, rolled it up into a ball, raised it up and smashed it hard on the man's head. "I told you to be gone."

"I'm telling you to make a fuss."

"Extremely injured and damaging to the body!"

"It's a blessing from the Dao!"

The disciples were all terrified when they heard the noise. The hall was completely silent, and no one dared to breathe.

Perhaps the old Taoist was tired of beating him, so he threw the book away. He pointed at Li Daoxuan who was sleeping soundly on the ground and said angrily: "Why don't you carry this traitor back? He is sleeping here, which really makes me angry."

The disciples then realized that their junior brother was fine and just fell asleep. With joy on their faces, they quickly stood up and sent Li Daoxuan back to his room.

After washing his beard, the old Taoist sat on the lotus platform again and looked at the crowd, humming, "Why are you still standing there? Read now."

Then the sound of chanting rang out in the Jade Emperor Hall, mixing with the heavy snow outside the hall.

White snow, empty mountains, and numerous palaces and temples. The sound of bells in the vast snow is quite like a fairyland.

Li Daoxuan was just lying in the room with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly, his breathing becoming intermittent and irregular without him noticing.

With each breath, invisible energy flowed through his body. His pale face gradually turned rosy, and there was a faint sound of thunder in his nose. The window in the room was not closed, and heavy snow fell in without wind, swirling around Li Daoxuan, and quietly fell on the bedding after a while.

When Li Daoxuan woke up from his sleep, it was already dark outside. The oil lamp in the room was dim, swaying in the chilly wind.

The firelight trembled, and everyone's figures were reflected on the wall.

Li Daoxuan stretched and sighed in comfort. He sat up and looked around, only to find that he had returned to his room. He was covered with a blanket and had not even taken off his Taoist robe.

"Why am I here? What time is it now?" Li Daoxuan looked blankly at his senior brothers who were chatting in the bedroom, and couldn't help but ask.

After hearing his words, the brothers turned around and laughed at Li Daoxuan who was sitting on the bed.

"It's already the hour of the dog, Junior Brother."

"Junior brother, you are so brave that you dared to fall asleep in front of Master. We all thought you were dead."

"You didn't see the Master's expression at that time. It was like a piece of bluestone. I saw Senior Brother Zhang being taught a lesson by the Master with a book, and I almost died of laughter."

"I am also concerned about my junior brother." The man called Senior Brother Zhang sighed. "Who made my junior brother fall asleep?"

Amidst all the chatter, Li Daoxuan finally understood what happened before he fell asleep. Thinking that he had actually slept in front of the old Taoist priest, he could imagine the old Taoist priest's expression tomorrow.

"...Can I skip morning class tomorrow?" Li Daoxuan whispered.

"Master has already called your name. We will carry you away tomorrow even if we have to." Everyone was joking and laughing, but only Li Daoxuan was heartbroken.

"God, Taoist Ancestor, I am afraid I will get a serious illness!" Li Daoxuan wailed and covered himself with the quilt.

However, Daozu did not satisfy Li Daoxuan's wish after all. The next day, he still stood in front of the old Taoist with a bad face.
