The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

In terms of cultivation speed, Shi Yi is still far ahead.

In just eight months, he had already cultivated two strands of immortal energy.

Of course, beings outside would think he was still a wisp of immortal energy, but in reality, this was the second wisp. His original energy had dissipated and entered the forbidden sea of ​​suffering.

At the same time, Shi Hao had just completed the burning of eight hundred flames, and was still far from the Three Thousand Great Daos. However, compared to Shi Hao in the original work, this speed was already considered divine.

It should be noted that in the original novel, Shi Hao only completed the burning of 108 flames in the ninth month after entering the Immortal Ancient Realm.

"We still need the two great paths of space and destiny before we can truly begin to explore the forbidden sea of ​​suffering." Shi Yi sighed softly and returned to a giant city.

After cultivating his second strand of immortal energy, his cultivation level increased significantly, and he needed to go into seclusion to consolidate it.

Meanwhile, he was also waiting for news from his followers.

With over a hundred initial followers, and each of them extending their influence to a hundred more, there are a total of tens of thousands of cultivators searching for the bubble world that Shi Yi desires. With so many cultivators, the efficiency is naturally unquestionable; all that's needed is to wait patiently.

Shi Yi also tried divination, hoping to gain a direction and narrow down the possibilities, but he failed. Clearly, there were some causal issues involved, and everything became unclear.

Bright City, one of the ten ancient cities of Immortal Ancient, stands majestically in the vast and boundless Bright Realm, with a magnificent and imposing presence.

Within this ancient city, Shi Yi had sixteen first-generation followers, all of whom were renowned experts at the Divine Fire Realm. After being subdued by Shi Yi, they often joined forces and were virtually unstoppable in this region, with no one daring to hinder them.

Occasionally, they would encounter followers of ancient freaks. Most of the time, the other party would choose to back down because they were wary of Shi Yi, who had already cultivated a wisp of immortal energy.

Thanks to Shi Yi's reputation, these creatures made a fortune and reaped enormous rewards.

They also knew that this was the result of Shi Yi's powerful reputation, so they often offered Shi Yi precious medicines and treasures.

Not only the original divine fire in Bright City benefited, but the original divine fires in other cities also received the same benefits. They were very sensible and would send people to deliver good things from time to time. Of course, the most important task could not be forgotten.

Shi Yi rewarded the being who found the causal world for him handsomely, and the first generation also received a reward.

Upon learning of this situation, the others worked even harder, constantly exploring and inquiring about information along the way.

Shi Yi found a quiet and secluded place in Bright City to cultivate in seclusion. He took out the Kunpeng Futon, sat cross-legged on it, and began a deep cultivation.

At this moment, the two great principles of time and cause and effect are connected, and for him, they are no longer vague, mysterious, or unattainable.

Shi Yi was immersed in it, comprehending the mysteries of the two great paths.

Time flies, and a year has passed since the cultivators entered the Immortal Ancient Realm.

Shi Yi also went into seclusion for four months. During this time, he thoroughly consolidated the Dao Fruit he had cultivated. Both his soul and body were crystal clear and full, and his whole body was filled with terrifying power. Compared to before his seclusion, he was even more unfathomable.

The first generation of divine fire spirits who came to offer sacrifices were all terrified and horrified when they faced him.

They knew that this person with double pupils was almost invincible; even if those ancient freaks were to be born, they would probably not be a match for him.

Despite their preparations over several lifetimes, all for the sake of igniting the divine fire and cultivating immortality in this lifetime, the path is too difficult. A year has passed, and these strongest beings are still in seclusion, never to emerge into the world.

Shi Yi got up from the futon. He had gained a lot from his four months of seclusion, not only in terms of cultivation but also in terms of cultivation materials.

More than a hundred first-generation gods each offered a sacred herb once a month. After four months, the sacred herbs could be piled up into a mountain.

Some of the creatures were so impressed by Shi Yi that they genuinely wanted to follow him and even offered him several divine herbs and treasures.

When he received the miraculous medicine, Shi Yi was quite surprised, considering that he had personally entered many ancient sites and only managed to obtain two plants.

Indeed, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is full of treasures, and every cultivator has their own destiny.

Shi Yi noted down the names of the cultivators who offered the divine medicine. He made it clear that he did not need any real followers, and that no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, except for Shi Hao, could catch up with him.

The karmic consequences of using miraculous medicine can only be repaid in other forms.

Shi Yi is now living a leisurely life, without needing to seek out resources himself, as followers will continuously send them to him.

Such a massive and terrifying blood transfusion machine was truly the envy of those ancient freaks; compared to it, the contributions of their followers were merely a drop in the ocean.

"It's been a year, and those two bubble worlds are still nowhere to be found. Perhaps I should go out of seclusion myself and try my luck," Shi Yi muttered to himself.

Space and destiny are related to his unconventional path to godhood. The lack of news for so long has made Shi Yi somewhat anxious. He feels that he cannot put all his eggs in one basket and rely entirely on others.

With this in mind, he left his secluded cultivation place, used the Seventy-Two Transformations Technique to transform into an unfamiliar young man, and entered the market to gather information.

In the marketplace, Shi Yi overheard many cultivators discussing various topics, including the appearance of immortal abodes and secret realms, the availability of astonishing divine fruits at auctions, and discussions about ancient immortal powerhouses. His name was naturally mentioned the most frequently, as he was the only known cultivator to have cultivated immortal energy.

After listening for a while, Shi Yi began to inquire about the spatial artifacts and the artifacts of destiny.

As soon as he asked the question, the other person looked knowing and asked if he was a member of the Pupil Sect.

"The Pupil Sect?" Shi Yi was surprised, having never heard of such a sect before.

"Aren't you one?" The cultivator was somewhat surprised to see Shi Yi's astonished expression.

"Don't you know? Recently, the cultivators of the Pupil Sect have gone mad, searching everywhere for these two divine artifacts and the ancient realms associated with them."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi immediately understood that Tongmen must be referring to him and his followers.

"It is said that these two divine objects or the worlds associated with them are related to the unconventional path to godhood of the Pupil Sect Master, which is why the people of the Pupil Sect are so crazy."

Shi Yi nodded. This was not hard to guess; it was easy to make the connection.

Finally, he thanked them and turned to leave.

His followers even created a sect called the Pupil Sect, and the sect's symbol was a mark resembling double pupils.

Shi Yi shook his head with a wry smile. His original intention was not to establish a sect. This so-called Pupil Sect would naturally be disbanded in the future. There was no need for it to exist. After all, these first-generation gods could not be of much help, and Shi Yi had no intention of leading them to evolve together.

In this era and in this chaotic situation, only individual strength can break through the encirclement; forming cliques is useless and will only drag oneself down.

However, in the current situation, the existence of the Pupil Gate is still very necessary, as it can help Shi Yi accomplish many things. Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

He was a fat man, wrapped up tightly, walking hurriedly, glancing left and right from time to time, as if afraid of being discovered.

"Cao Yusheng? What is he doing?"

Shi Yi recognized the other person's identity at a glance through the Taiyin Double Pupil. After hesitating slightly, he stepped forward and followed.

It wasn't that he wanted to sneak up on Cao Yusheng and seize his fortune, but rather that this being was very special and had a certain connection to Shi Yi's needs.

Cao Yusheng's master was a powerful immortal from the Immortal Ancient Era, whose true form was a member of the Xuan Turtle Clan.

This race is blessed by the heavens, and the tortoise shell on their backs has the ability to divine. Cao Yusheng's master, Lao Hutu, is the master of this art.

During the Immortal Ancient Era, the tortoise shell that fell off his back was used as an object for the Immortal Kings of the two realms to choose their opponents. When the immortal tortoise shell was discarded, the secrets of heaven were obscured, and chaos reigned.

Following Cao Yusheng, we might encounter something left behind by his master.

For this purpose, Shi Yi concealed his figure and aura, hanging far behind Cao Yusheng.

Cao Yusheng was very cunning. He often looked around and would vigilantly look behind him to see if anyone was following him.

Shi Yi had anticipated this and had been on guard against it.

Now, he has made considerable achievements in the ways of time and cause and effect, making it very easy for him to conceal his identity and evade Cao Yusheng's investigation.

Countless fragments of time swirled around him, shrouded in a mist of cause and effect, making him seem like a being living in the past, not in the present.

Cao Yusheng looked behind him several times but did not notice Shi Yi's figure.

It's clear that he offended quite a few people over the past year, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.

Cao Yusheng turned left and right, and came to a secluded shop. He bought several very rare materials inside, and then left, heading out of the city.

During this process, he casually circled around several times, being so cautious that Shi Yi behind him was speechless.

However, his caution was not without reason; didn't Shi Yi quietly follow along?
"My master said that he originally did not want to tell me this secret, but only told me to leave it to a destined person. If there is no destined person, then it will be buried in the long river of time forever and never be allowed to appear in the world."

But before I left, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze brightening, and told me this secret, instructing me to retrieve it a year after entering the Immortal Ancient Realm. Hehe, I knew it then, I was one of the two beings my master had spoken of. With no one around, Cao Yusheng muttered to himself.

He was naturally delighted to be about to obtain the treasure entrusted to him by his master. After confirming that no one was following him, he hummed a little tune and followed the route that the old senile had told him, venturing deeper into the bubble world.

Shi Yi followed behind at a leisurely pace, pondering the words of Master Cao Yusheng.

This is a master of divination, one of the most important immortal figures in the Immortal Ancient Era, and there is a certain probability that he is an Immortal King. After all, his immortal tortoise shell can select opponents for Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings. How could an ordinary immortal tortoise have such qualifications?
In this life, Shi Yi has emerged out of nowhere, and Shi Hao is no weakling either. The two beings that the old senile man mentioned are most likely them.

Could the treasure he instructed Cao Yusheng to retrieve after a full year be something he had prepared for Shi Yi?

Thinking of this, Shi Yi's expression became solemn. As expected of an immortal expert left over from the Immortal Ancient Era, in the path of divination and seeking the Dao, Old Hu Tu dared to say he was number one, and no one dared to say he was number two. Compared to him, Shi Yi could only be considered a naive young man.

Following Cao Yusheng's journey, we passed through several bubble worlds and walked along many old, secluded paths, all of which were difficult to discover.

Shi Yi sighed inwardly. Even if tens of thousands of cultivators were searching for bubble worlds related to his destiny, they probably wouldn't be able to find this place. The conditions for discovery were simply too harsh.

If it weren't for his sudden impulse to venture out of seclusion and explore, and his chance encounter with Cao Yusheng, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm after it ended, and would have only been able to sigh to the heavens.

"If it is really as I think, then this is a great cause and effect," Shi Yi muttered to himself.

Following the ancient secret passage, passing through a desolate galaxy, Cao Yusheng arrived before a bubble world.

It's hard to describe what this bubble world is like. It's both real and illusory, constantly switching between the two. Those who are destined to come here can see and touch it, while those who are not will find nothing here.

Shi Yi's Yin double pupils glowed, and his face showed undisguised excitement. He could see that this realm was related to the Dao of Destiny.

Everything went as he had predicted, and everything was pretty much as the old senile man had predicted.

At this particular time of year, we happened to meet in Bright City, as if guided by some unseen force of destiny.

"Found it, this is it."

Cao Yusheng let out a low exclamation of excitement.

The next moment, he stepped into the world ahead.

This time, the bubble world is no longer fraught with danger, but only shrouded in a thick, enigmatic fog, obscuring the path ahead.

Cao Yusheng was well-prepared. He took out the materials he had purchased in Bright City, and then took out a Bagua plate. He then chanted incantations and performed a secret technique, acting like a fat charlatan.

The next moment, he showed excitement.

"There is."

Using the Bagua compass, he obtained a vague location, greatly narrowing down the search area.

But what he didn't know was that Shi Yi behind him had obtained a precise direction by relying on the symbol in his hand that was related to fate.

Shi Yi stopped following Cao Yusheng and instead moved forward in the direction indicated by the symbol in his hand.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a small mound suddenly appeared ahead, with a dilapidated wooden sign standing in front of it.

This is a grave, an unmarked grave. The wooden plaque says nothing, yet it evokes an indescribable sense of sorrow in Shi Yi, a feeling that transcends the long river of time and reaches the present world.

Shi Yi's gaze swept across the area, finally settling on the wooden plaque. There, on the ground, lay a crystal-clear tortoise shell, shrouded in an incomparably holy aura. The thick fog emanated from the tortoise shell, containing the power of destiny.

"Tortoise shell fragments!"

Shi Yi spoke, his gaze fixed on the tortoise shell, the very sacred object he had been searching for.
