There was a famous blind princess in the Hetu Kingdom.
The princess was smart and studious. She studied under various sages since she was young. She liked the technology of Mount Huaguo and persuaded the king to open up trade between the Hetu Kingdom and Mount Huaguo.
After more than ten years, the Hetu Kingdom gained a lot of power from Mount Huaguo's technology.
Although the princess was blind, she understood Mount Huaguo better than most people. She imitated Mount Huaguo and carried out a series of reforms in the Hetu Kingdom. Under her leadership, everything was in order.
Everyone in the Hetu Kingdom saw her as a treasure.
A year ago, the king broke the rules and found the princess, wanting to appoint her as the crown prince.
"I am indebted to my father for raising me."
The princess said, "But I was blind when I was young. I was afraid that I would be deceived by scoundrels. I cannot take on such a heavy responsibility."
She rejected the position of Crown Prince, causing all the civil and military officials to be stunned.
The king couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity."
His other children combined were not as talented as his daughter.
But without eyes, it was difficult for her to take on such a heavy responsibility.
It was a pity.
The king wanted to give up the idea and choose another crown prince from the other princes and princesses.
But when he heard that the Monkey King had left Mount Huaguo and was coming to the Hetu Kingdom, he was hopeful again.
"The Heaven Emperor will pass by in two days. I will go and find a doctor for you."
The king found the princess and said, "Our kingdom believes in him. He will definitely agree."
"But I heard that the Heaven Emperor never stopped even when many people knelt down and begged him."
The princess said.
She couldn't see, but she had information about all the places.
The king shook his head, "The Heaven Emperor was known as a sage monkey. He cured the princess of Xi Liang Kingdom. As long as we treat him sincerely, he will definitely help you."
Like the princess, the king was also a devout follower of the Monkey King.
After informing the princess, he turned around to make preparations.
After the king left, the princess asked the maid, "Did anyone see what the Heaven Emperor looked like when he went on a tour?"
"Some saw him, but no one could describe him."
The maid answered, "It is said that the Heaven Emperor is a god among gods. People will unconsciously kneel down when they see him."
The princess sighed, "Then no."
The maid smiled, "If you want to know, why don't you touch his statue? You will understand."
"That's blasphemy."
The Princess said, "The eyes of immortals can see the whole world. How can I do such a thing?"
The palace maid shook her head and said nothing more.
Two days later, the Monkey King really came.
The Hetu Kingdom's palace was in a state of chaos, the palace maids and guards were all running outside.
"Look, the sky is full of rainbows!"
"The Celestial Thearch is here!"
When the princess heard the noise coming from outside, she quickly put on her coat and knelt down outside the palace with the help of the palace maids.
She couldn't see the scene in the sky, but she could hear the praises and exclamations of the people around her.
From the exclamations of the crowd, the Princess knew that the celestial horse pulling the carriage for the Heaven Sovereign had turned into a white dragon and soared into the sky.
"What kind of scene is this?"
The princess was both envious and longing.
She also wanted to see the Celestial Emperor and the White Dragon who had ascended to heaven.
This desire turned into a more sensitive sense.
Although she didn't see anything, the princess seemed to be able to hear the world singing after the Celestial Emperor appeared.
The entire sky was wrapped in a warm aura.
That aura was so pure, like sunlight that could encompass everything in the world.
The flowers and plants around her were growing as fast as they could, trying their best to absorb that wonderful aura.
The princess was the same, she couldn't help but tremble as she felt that aura.
When she regained her senses, she was already back in the palace. The old king had driven all the ministers away.
"Father, why are you angry?"
The princess asked.
"The Celestial Thearch has a heart of stone, he ignored my request, what's the point of believing in him?"
The king was a bit disappointed.
"I don't think the Celestial Thearch needs us to believe in him"
The princess smiled and said: "He opened the Heaven's Way of All Spirits, recently there's a new doctrine that this Heaven's Way doesn't allow people to worship the Celestial Thearch, but instead wants people to rely on themselves, the same goes for my eye disease"
She had a vague feeling that she would be able to cure her eye disease.
Hearing her words of comfort, the king could only sigh and didn't say anything else.
A few more days passed like this. The princess locked herself in her room, meditating every day. Sure enough, the world had changed.
After the Celestial Thearch passed, the air of the Hetu Kingdom changed.
Countless particles floated in the air, the princess could feel them, they even absorbed her like flowers and plants, then released them.
One night, the princess suddenly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the particles around her seemed to have turned into eyes, everything around her was clearly visible to her.
"Daughter, you're finally awake"
The princess saw the old king holding her hand, sitting on the edge of the bed with a worried expression.
"Father, I, I can see …"
The princess trembled slightly.
"I can see it, Father!
I can see you "
She touched the king's hand: "Father, you're crying"
"Wha, what?
How is that possible! "
The king trembled, wiped the tears off his face, turned around and shouted: "Doctors, quickly call the doctors over!"
A few imperial physicians were summoned to the room.
They checked the princess's eyes, but her vision still hadn't recovered. Strangely, she could indeed see her surroundings.
No matter how the king changed the decorations in the room, the princess could always accurately tell.
"What, what's going on?"
The excited king asked the princess: "Did the Celestial Thearch cure you?"
"No …"
The princess shook her head: "Wherever the Celestial Thearch passed, something was left behind. As long as we understand it, we might be able to cast spells like the Daoist priests."
The king was shocked: "What is that?"
"Probably …"
The princess thought for a moment: "That is the Immortal Qi of Ten Thousand Spirits."
"Then, we can also use it to cast spells?"
The king asked again.
"Yes."
The princess nodded.
The king and the doctors looked at each other, somewhat incredulous.
How could this be?
The princess did not have any spiritual roots since she was young, so it was impossible for her to be a Daoist priest.
It was simply unimaginable that an ordinary person like her could cast spells like a Daoist priest!
"Princess, are you sure you are not mistaken?"
One of the doctors asked: "Do you know any other spells?"
"Let me try."
The princess reached out her hand and silently recited some incantations. Light flashed in her palm, and a small flame appeared.
This flame was imprinted in the eyes of all the people around her in disbelief.
And soon, similar flames began to appear in many places in the North Continent.
It was a spark. The news that mortals could also cast spells quickly spread.
Extraordinary power was a temptation that no mortal could resist.
