CHAPTER 782: CHAPTER 484: RETURN TO DONGHUANG ISLAND_2

Under the observation of the Macro Heavenly Eye, she stood atop the solitary peak, her gaze sweeping over the island destroyed by the electromagnetic field, but found nothing.

A gleam flashed in her eyes.

Then, her figure flickered, fleeing towards the direction where Qing Hong entered the void and disappeared, once again transforming into a beam of light and moving at high speed.

Soon she reached a location over a thousand kilometers away, the place where Ji Xinghuo had performed his first Star Realm Jump.

Ji Xinghuo was startled.

The perceptiveness of this Light Cone Dragon King far exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, it had been almost an hour since the jump, and the ripples in the void had long since dissipated, the direction she was searching was off from the actual location. It was obviously difficult for her to track him down.

Even if she could track the direction of the jump, she wouldn’t be able to jump again to catch up.

The location for his next jump was also over a thousand kilometers away.

"Heh heh..."

Ji Xinghuo chuckled at his own cleverness. Of course, the most important factor was the Wanxiang Star Pupil, which had detected the danger approaching in advance.

The Shepherd Star Saint, unable to track the jump, turned around and returned to the island.

She stayed on the island for a moment, with no gains.

Ji Xinghuo watched the Shepherd Star Saint. Logically, she should have left by now or interrogated the Sea Abyss Hunters in the surrounding sea area. Perhaps she could have obtained some clues, but she did not do so. Instead, she stood on the peak, expressionless.

It wasn’t until then that Ji Xinghuo finally had the chance to activate his Microscopic Perception. Every movement within a hundred meters of him was revealed in the finest detail.

However, when the information about that area imprinted on his brain, the Shepherd Star Saint seemed to have noticed something.

Ji Xinghuo decisively terminated the Macro Heavenly Eye.

"That was close!"

He now understood what had happened.

It must be that she could feel someone was observing her in secret but couldn’t locate the source, so she lingered in place. If he had been a bit slower in his response and watched her for a couple moments longer, she might have detected his location and pursued him.

Ji Xinghuo immediately changed direction, flying southward at full speed.

The Wanxiang Star Pupil did not issue a warning. After madly flying over a thousand kilometers and looking back towards the island with the Macro Heavenly Eye, he could no longer see any trace of the Shepherd Star Saint.

The Macro Heavenly Eye surveyed the nearby sea area, but he couldn’t find her.

"She must have left."

Ever since obtaining the second fragment of the Wanxiang Star Pupil and activating the Macro Heavenly Eye, Ji Xinghuo had been using it frequently and had mastered its usage and understood its limitations as well.

Although he could see far away, even observing scenes three million kilometers away, it was difficult to lock onto moving targets.

The further the distance, the greater the difficulty.

To lock onto moving targets, it must be like just now, when facing a powerful enemy capable of threatening him, enough to trigger a warning from the Wanxiang Star Pupil, then the Macro Heavenly Eye would automatically focus on the target, making it easy to track.

Once the threat was gone, however, it would lose its trace in the Macro Heavenly Eye, and unless the distance was sufficiently close, it was very difficult to find again.

Even though he was only about thirty thousand kilometers away from the island at that moment.

But the observational range of the Macro Heavenly Eye was only three thousand meters, like looking at the world through a pinhole, extremely narrow and limited.

With the Shepherd Star Saint’s speed being so fast, finding her was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Forget it."

Ji Xinghuo surveyed the area near the island for a long while before finally giving up.

Since the Wanxiang Star Pupil did not automatically focus on the target, it meant that he was no longer in danger and wouldn’t be threatened by her again.

As for where she went, it was none of his concern.

His attention returned to the interface.

There were just over 600,000 points of Spiritual Origin Ability left. After some consideration, Ji Xinghuo allocated 300,000 points to "Spiritual Energy."

Electromagnetic Polarization required the support of Spiritual Energy.

And Overclocking Thought as well.

[Ability: Spiritual Energy (Fifth Level 2816/303299)]

As the upgrade progressed, Ji Xinghuo felt his Spiritual Energy strengthen like a rocket, the range of his Spiritual Energy projected extending outward, stepping up from 1500 meters. By the time his Spiritual Energy reached the Sixth Level, its radius of action was just right around 3000 meters.

Spiritual Energy (Sixth Level 1/909899), to advance another level would require 900,000 Spiritual Origin Ability, which he no longer had enough of.

With Sixth Level Spiritual Energy, the efficiency of converting Star Power into Spiritual Energy climbed to another level.

The enhancement effect on Electromagnetic Polarization also became stronger!

However, to develop the application techniques of Electromagnetic Polarization, Ji Xinghuo needed some time to explore.

The rest of the Spiritual Origin Ability was all invested into Overclocking Thought (Seventh Level 512/108533). This Ability was very high in level, and after each upgrade, it did not require much Spiritual Origin Ability, which was just enough to jump two levels.

"Eh?"

When Overclocking Thought reached the Ninth Level, it unexpectedly triggered a Star Fall celestial event.

Ji Xinghuo looked up at the reflection of the Galaxy above, a fallen star detaching itself and plummeting down towards him.

He immediately entered a Star Realm Jump, moving away more than ten thousand kilometers.

Then he continued to fly.

At this moment, the information on the Wanxiang Star Pupil Ability updated. Ji Xinghuo was greatly surprised after reading it.

[Ability: Overclocking (Not upgradeable)]

"It’s actually maxed out." Ji Xinghuo saw for the first time an Ability changing from upgradeable to not upgradeable.

The original high-quality Ability "High-frequency Thinking" had advanced into the Transcendent Ability "Overclocking Thought," now evolved into the Star Fall Ability "Overclocking," just like gene recombination, no longer upgradable with Spiritual Origin Ability.

He had thought Ability upgrades were endless, but now he understood he was wrong.

The nature of Overclocking hadn’t changed.

Its effect was still to overclock brain operation, speeding up thinking and responses, easily achieving ten times the overclock from the original maximum of five times.

Moreover, as long as the brain could withstand the pressure, the overclocking rate could continue to rise.

Twenty times, thirty times...

Even one hundred times would not be a problem. It depended on the Mutant’s brain tolerance, with no upper limit to the overclocking.
