After multiple failed attempts, he felt increasingly frustrated and disheartened. He knew he needed a new approach, a different technique that would increase his strength and at the same time could help in cultivating the Space Rifts.
Without much deliberation, Liang made the decision to cultivate a powerful bloodline technique called "The Void Piercing Eyes Refining Art." He had gained access to this technique after his breakthrough into the Spirit Severing Realm.
With each breakthrough in cultivation, an individual's bloodline also improves, whether it be a true spirit being, a divine beast or even an ordinary spirit beast. However, the degree of improvement varies from person to person. Some may gain a deeper understanding of their bloodline and awaken it once again, while others may only unlock new techniques within their bloodline.
As for why he chose this technique because he gained another two techniques besides it and to his surprise the two of them needed at least initial mastery over the Void Piercing Eyes Refining Art.
To cultivate this technique, the first step is to be born with the bloodline of the Void. The cultivator must then have a deep understanding of the Void with a perfect mastery over the space section and the first two stages of the void section.
Once the prerequisites are met, the cultivator embarks on a journey divided into five refinement phases. In each refinement phase, the cultivator delves deeper into the Void Dao, enhancing their comprehension of its power and potential.
As the Pure Void Qi flows into the eyes through deep meditation and concentration, the cultivator experiences a profound sense of clarity and awareness. With each refinement phase, their abilities and control over the Void Piercing Eyes continue to grow and evolve.
By the end of the fifth refinement phase, the cultivator's mastery over the Void Piercing Eyes reaches its peak. Their eyes possess the power to destroy and create entire worlds with just a single glance.
Liang closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he began the first phase directing the void Qi in his body into his eyes. He felt a sharp pain shooting through his body as if his eyes were being torn apart and stitched back together simultaneously.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, refusing to give in to the pain. Each second felt like an eternity as he endured the torturous refining process.
After roughly an hour, Liang's body trembled uncontrollably. His mind was foggy, and he struggled to maintain focus. The Void Qi flooded his eyes, causing his vision to blur and his head to spin.
Liang gasped for air, feeling like he was suffocating. His body felt heavy as if a thousand weights were pressing down on him. He fought against the pain, forcing himself to endure more.
By now, Liang's body was soaked in sweat, his clothes sticking to his skin. He could barely move, feeling as though his limbs were made of lead. The refining process had taken a toll on his energy, leaving him drained and exhausted.
But just as he felt like he had reached his limits, a surge of energy coursed through his entire body, revitalizing him completely.
Finally, after a long time, he opened his eyes, and his vision cleared. As he looked around, his eyes glowed with a bright purple light, crackling with energy, The First Refinement Phase is over.

Bai Shuan stood outside Zhang Wei's home, thanks to the information provided by Mi Ling. he didn't need much time to find it. He extended his divine sense, detecting the presence of the family inside. A faint smile curved his lips, knowing that his target was within reach.
With a swift kick, he opened the door and strode in confidently.
In the poorly lit room, he saw Zhang Wei's wife and two young children. The woman was a petite and delicate-looking lady with flowing black hair and eyes that were wide with terror. The eldest child was a boy, not more than eight years old, while the younger one was a little girl, probably around five.
Bai Shuan watched as the woman and children cowered before him, their fear palpable in the air The children, looked up at him with tear-stained faces.
"Who are you?" the woman squeaked, taking a step back.
"I am Bai Shuan," he chuckled. And without much talking, he knocked them unconscious with his divine sense and moved them to his space ring.
After some time, In a desolate mountain near the Arcane city, Bai Shuan appeared, with a wave of his hand the woman and the children appeared in the air, before landing on the ground heavily.
Looking around, Bai Shuan's heart pounding with anticipation as he awaited Zhang Wei's arrival.
Finally, his keen senses detected Zhang Wei's approach. Bai Shuan turned around to face him, and Zhang Wei trembled in fear when he saw his family on the ground beside Bai Shuan.
"Please, let them go. I'll do anything you want," Zhang Wei pleaded, desperation clear in his voice.
But Bai Shuan did not even bother to listen. He raised his hand, and a massive golden palm materialized above him, glowing with a golden light. Zhang Wei watched, with dread and horror etched on his face, as the palm descended toward him.
The power of the golden palm was overwhelming, and Zhang Wei was sure he wouldn't be able to withstand it. He closed his eyes, waiting for the end, But just as it was about to crush him, a golden ray of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, destroying the golden palm.
Bai Shuan's eyes narrowed as he put on a facade of surprise. "Who dares to interfere?" he snarled, pretending to be caught off guard.
In the distance, a figure emerged, his face seemingly ordinary but his piercing blue eyes exuded an aura of aloofness that commanded attention.
Bai Shuan's breath caught in his throat as he recognized the figure. "Xue Ren," he whispered, shock evident on his face as his heart sank.
