Mystic Eyes: My Eyes Steal the Laws of Cultivation Chapter 580: Beast Egg

Gao Ziyue’s delicate hand rested on the dark metal doorknob, her slender fingers wrapping around the chill of the ancient bronze.

The exact moment her fingertips touched the smooth, polished surface, an invisible ripple flowed through her body like a gentle breeze, a vibration that began at her core and spread to every extremity.

There was no burst of light nor any flashy manifestation, nothing that could attract the attention of accidental onlookers.

The transformation happened in complete silence, as subtle as a mist changing the landscape at dawn, as natural as water adapting to the shape of its container.

A thin layer of spiritual energy enveloped her figure like a liquid veil, distorting the perception of anyone who looked at her.

Her long black hair, intertwined with delicate silver strands that shone like threads of moonlight, gradually began to change color, darkening until it became an ordinary shade of brown, dull and lifeless.

Its silky luster vanished, leaving it plain and utterly unremarkable, hair that would easily disappear among hundreds of others in a crowd.

Then the strands moved on their own, as though they possessed a will of their own, gathering into a simple bun at the back of her head, a hairstyle so common that no one would pay it any attention.

Her face also began to change, her features slowly shifting like clay being reshaped by invisible hands. The features that had once seemed sculpted with almost divine perfection, the harmony of their proportions, the elegance of their curves, and the delicacy of their contours became gentle yet completely ordinary.

Her skin lost the soft glow that resembled polished white jade, taking on a duller, more commonplace complexion. Her eyes, which had once conveyed an almost hypnotic depth, a wisdom that seemed to contain ancient stars, became dull brown, devoid of brilliance or mystery.

Even her height seemed to change slightly, shrinking by a few centimeters, her posture becoming just a little more hunched, as though she were trying to occupy less space in the world.

But the most astonishing change was not physical. It was her presence, her essence, the way her spiritual energy manifested itself in the world.

The refined and naturally noble aura of the Heir of Heaven disappeared completely, replaced by the unassuming presence of an ordinary young cultivator, the kind one saw on every street corner and forgot the very next moment.

She became the sort of person who could walk past hundreds of people on a busy street without being remembered by anyone a few minutes later, whose face would fade from memory like a drawing in the sand.

Even Kyrian, who had watched the entire transformation from only a few steps away, his violet eyes fixed on every detail, could not help but admire the illusion born from the ability of her Heavenly Physique.

It was not merely a visual illusion, a superficial layer that a careful gaze could pierce. It deceived spiritual perception, sharpened senses, and even intuition itself, creating an alternate reality so convincing that it seemed more real than the original.

Had he not witnessed the transformation with his own eyes, had he not observed every stage of the process, Kyrian would probably never have believed that this ordinary-looking young woman was the same Gao Ziyue. She had shared such profound secrets with him only moments earlier.

She noticed his curious gaze and smiled faintly, a smile that, even beneath that disguise, still carried a trace of her true essence.

"This is much more convenient."

Kyrian merely nodded, a simple gesture that conveyed more understanding than words ever could.

"It makes sense."

Satisfied, Gao Ziyue slowly turned the doorknob, her movements fluid and natural, as though that transformation were an integral part of who she was.

The heavy black wooden door opened without making the slightest sound, gliding on hinges that seemed not to exist.

Outside, a young attendant stood perfectly still, her posture straight and respectful. She wore the elegant uniform of the Auction House, consisting of a dark blue dress adorned with subtle golden embroidery that shimmered softly beneath the light.

She had kept her head lowered from the moment she arrived, her eyes fixed on the floor, as though looking up would be a transgression she would never dare commit.

In her outstretched hands, held with the steadiness of someone accustomed to carrying priceless objects, rested a broad tray crafted from black spiritual glass, so pure and dark that it seemed to absorb the surrounding light. Upon it lay only two items.

On one side was the Spiritual Beast Pouch that Kyrian had purchased. It was made of an exceptionally durable dark leather with a texture reminiscent of dragon scales.

Tiny silver runes spread across its surface in delicate lines, forming a harmonious pattern that pulsed with a gentle glow.

Even without examining it closely, one could sense the stability of the spatial formation within it, a stable dimension awaiting its new occupant.

Beside the pouch rested the mysterious egg, the item that had captured the attention of the entire auction hall. Even lying motionless upon the glass tray, it drew every eye toward itself, as though it naturally radiated an invisible field of attraction.

Its purple scales subtly reflected the light of the room’s lanterns, creating tiny glimmers that danced like stars in a night sky. The delicate golden lines beneath its shell continued to pulse slowly, with a steady, gentle rhythm, as though keeping time with the heartbeat of the little creature sleeping inside.

The young attendant bowed deeply, her voice low and respectful, almost a whisper.

"The items purchased by the Sky Family’s exclusive room."

Without raising her eyes even once, she carefully extended the tray, her arms perfectly straight, offering the treasures with the reverence of someone presenting something sacred.

Gao Ziyue accepted the two items with great care, her hands moving with the precision of someone accustomed to handling precious objects.

"Thank you."

"It is an honor to serve you."

The attendant lowered her head once more, a gesture of respect that went beyond mere courtesy. She did not ask for names, did not try to look inside the room, nor did she dare remain there for even a few more seconds.

The moment Gao Ziyue took the tray, she stepped back twice, turned around, and silently walked away down the corridor, her footsteps so light they were barely audible.

The door closed once again.
