I do not cultivate a body strong enough to shake the heavens and shatter the earth. I do not master the divine power to tear apart the void and command space. I do not study the strange arts and trigrams that form unpredictable arrays. I do not perfect the illusion arts that deceive the heavens and turn the unreal into the real. I do not forge weapons sharp enough to slice through iron. I do not refine pills that steal the workings of creation and bring the dead back to life. I cultivate only the art of the eyes. All techniques return to my gaze: I see through the true and the false, shape divine powers, renew the body, sever weapons, seize lifespans, and subdue spirits. This alone is my art.
