The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Is there only one?

Shi Yi whispered.

He remembered that at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, there were more than a dozen pieces of immortal tortoise shell used to select opponents for the Immortal Kings.

There should be twenty-four in total, but there is only one here. It is as warm and smooth as jade, with an ethereal aura, and is quite extraordinary. Its surface is covered with mysterious patterns, giving people a feeling of being beyond the mundane and outside the five elements.

Shi Yi stepped forward and picked up the immortal tortoise shell fragment. As soon as it landed in his hand, a cool sensation swept over him, instantly permeating his entire body. Instantly, all the distracting thoughts in his mind vanished, leaving him feeling serene.

In a daze, a scene appeared in his mind: Cao Yusheng standing not far away, mouth agape, staring blankly at him standing in front of the grave, speechless.

Is this a preview of the future? Or is it merely a revelation?
Shi Yi regained his composure, stood before the grave, motionless, and waited quietly.

After a few breaths, the scene appeared in his mind. Cao Yusheng had found his way here using the method given to him by the old senile man, only to find a figure standing in front of the grave.

This scene nearly scared him to death; he thought he had encountered some huge, eerie monster.

Fortunately, Cao Yusheng had excellent eyesight and could see that Shi Yi was a young man with a vibrant spirit.

"How is that possible? Did Master tell someone else about the secret of this place? Someone actually found it before me?" He was filled with doubt.

It wasn't until Shi Yi turned around that Cao Yusheng recognized who he was.

It was none other than Shi Yi, the Great Demon King with Double Pupils, who was renowned among heroes and slaughtered all in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and just stared blankly at Shi Yi.

"You... how did you come to this realm?" He was genuinely shocked. This ancient realm was so remote, with no clear route, that it was impossible to find. How did Shi Yi arrive before him?

Cao Yusheng knew that the Tongmen cultivators were extensively searching for ancient realms related to destiny and space. His master, Lao Hutu, had profound attainments in the Dao of Destiny, so the secret Lao Hutu told him was very likely related to the Dao of Destiny.

That's why Cao Yusheng was so secretive and cautious when he went to Bright City, for fear of being targeted by the Pupil Clan.

He wouldn't have gone there if the materials he needed weren't only available in Bright City.

Unexpectedly, despite being so careful, we were still a step too late.

"I have to thank you for this. Although it was an unintentional success, there is no doubt that this is a great cause and effect," Shi Yi replied.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng understood that the other party had come with him.

"Are you following me?"

“Fate led me here. Otherwise, why would I have been able to find this place first? You must know, the fog here is so thick that even my double pupils cannot penetrate it,” Shi Yi replied.

Cao Yusheng was a smart man. He immediately realized that he might just be a tool, and that the old senile man wanted to use him to bestow a destiny-related fortune upon Shi Yi.

"Master, how could you even cheat your disciple? I've made a wasted trip," he lamented.

Then, he noticed the tortoise shell fragment in Shi Yi's hand, which was a relic left by his master.

"Do you know why there is only one piece of this immortal tortoise shell?" Shi Yi asked.

At this moment, Cao Yusheng no longer harbored any hostility towards Shi Yi. The fact that his master had given such a precious treasure to Shi Yi spoke volumes.

"Don't underestimate this piece of armor. I've heard my master say that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and the Human Dao is one. Perhaps this is the greatest Dao fruit left by my master. Unfortunately, fate cannot be controlled. This thing should not exist in the world in the first place." Cao Yusheng didn't know much either, and could only piece together some information that his master had told him.

"One of the people escaped..."

Shi Yi muttered to himself, stroking the tortoise shell in his hand, realizing its preciousness.

Now that we know the secret of the armor plates, there's no need to disturb that nameless grave. Perhaps it contains the remains of an old senile man. We should show due respect to such predecessors and sages.

Cao Yusheng seemed to see through his thoughts, chuckled, and said, "You're overthinking it. That's not my master's grave."

According to what my master said before I left, that grave should hold a certain outcome: whatever you seek, that's what's hidden there. However, the price to pay for digging it up will be terrifying.

"I see."

A solemn expression appeared on Shi Yi's face. It seemed that this tomb was indeed mysterious.

“This tortoise shell and that tomb should have been created at the same time. At the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, an Immortal King wanted to move this tomb, but ended up failing,” Cao Yusheng said again.

However, after saying these words, he was stunned. He had no idea about these things, and his mind went blank. He just blurted them out.

"master……"

Cao Yusheng remained silent, knowing that the old senile man was having a conversation with him from afar.

He was taken aback. The fact that his mysterious master valued Shi Yi so highly demonstrated his extraordinary abilities.

No wonder he was able to cultivate immortal energy in such a short time.

"Thanks for letting me know."

Shi Yi cupped his hands in greeting, and at the same time, his gaze fell on the nameless grave, unable to look away. The grave of "result"—dig it up and he would see the result he wanted? This was simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, there are many inexplicable things in this world, just like that place that connects heaven and earth, the past and the present.

In the later stages of cultivation and evolution, one transcends a major realm, entering a completely new domain where many things are incomprehensible and inexplicable to the beings below.

"I wonder if I can take it with me," Shi Yi muttered to himself.

The next moment, he put his plan into action, pulling out the True Dragon Dagger and beginning to dig at the soil around the nameless grave.

Cao Yusheng was stunned by this scene. He had just made it very clear that grave diggers would encounter something terrifying. In the late Immortal Era, even the Immortal King hesitated for a long time before finally sighing and not taking action. How could Shi Yi be so bold as to start digging right away?

However, after seeing that Shi Yi had dug for a while without any problems, Cao Yusheng also got a little itchy to dig up graves. Who wouldn't like digging up graves, which is both thrilling and exciting?

"Do you need help?"

Cao Yusheng asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, a measuring ruler flew over and landed in Cao Yusheng's hand.

“I have plenty of these tools, no need…” He was about to politely decline when his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is... the Dark Immortal Golden Ruler?"

"Hurry up, I sense something's wrong. I took the immortal tortoise shell fragment, and this tomb seems to be dissipating and turning into nothingness." Shi Yi suddenly changed his expression and urged.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng dared not delay and immediately stepped forward to help.

With their combined efforts, the "Result" grave was completely excavated, detached from the ground, and a huge pit appeared. Then, with a thought, Shi Yi created a large rift in the Chaos Small World, and the "Result" grave was transferred into the Small World.

Only after doing all this did Shi Yi feel relieved, and the sense of urgency in his heart faded away.

He was certain that the "Result" grave would not dissipate; it had entered the chaotic small world opened up by Shi Yi, where Shi Yi's aura resided. By controlling the Immortal Turtle Shell, Shi Yi had essentially imprisoned it, preventing it from escaping.

"You're not really planning to dig it up, are you?"

Cao Yusheng asked aloud.

What's the point of Shi Yi taking away a tomb that even the Celestial King dared not touch? He couldn't help but wonder.

"See? When all else fails, and death is inevitable anyway, what harm is there in digging it up?" Shi Yi replied noncommittally.

Cao Yusheng remained silent, but felt there was some truth to it.

"Shouldn't you return the Measuring Ruler to me?" Shi Yi asked calmly.

Cao Yusheng was slightly taken aback, and then his ears turned red.

"Haha, sorry, I forgot about that." He chuckled sheepishly and reluctantly returned the Dark Immortal Golden Measuring Ruler to Shi Yi.

You must know that this is Dark Immortal Gold, a rare find even in the vast world. Compared to other immortal golds, Dark Immortal Gold is much rarer and more precious, a true treasure of the world, and it's hard not to be tempted.

However, this belongs to the great demon king Shi Yi, and even if the little fat boy had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to snatch it.

Fatty could look down on the first generation, but he was no match for Shi Yi; he was far inferior.

The measurement of celestial aura is not just a figure of speech.

"Um, how many strands of immortal energy have you cultivated so far?" Cao Yusheng asked tentatively.

After spending some time together, his impression of Shi Yi had changed. He was no longer the cold-blooded, ruthless, and merciless demon king he once was. That's why he dared to ask that question.

Shi Yi smiled without saying a word, simply extending two fingers.

"Two? Hiss!"

Cao Yusheng gasped.

What kind of monster is this? It's only been a year since the opening of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and Shi Yi has already cultivated two strands of immortal energy. How can those ancient monsters who have been preparing for several lifetimes, or even ten lifetimes, bear this?

"Alright, I finally understand why Master gave you that Destiny Tortoise Shell." Cao Yusheng sighed, inwardly marveling at how monstrous he was, truly a great demon king, his cultivation was simply freakish.

“Although there are two paths, the first one is the primordial energy, which has not been preserved. Currently, we can only control one path,” Shi Yi said, revealing the truth.

Cao Yusheng nodded. The fact that the other party was willing to share such a secret directly showed that the level of mutual trust between the two had greatly increased.

"With Master's Destiny Tortoise Shell, you should be able to cultivate another strand of immortal energy. With two strands of immortal energy surrounding you, you'll be able to sweep through the ancient immortal realms," Cao Yusheng said.

"It's not that simple. The first two times I cultivated immortal energy, I encountered strange things, each one more terrifying than the last. This time it might be beyond my imagination. If I don't make sufficient preparations and proceed rashly, the consequences could be dire," Shi Yi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng's expression turned solemn. This was an unavoidable topic for all cultivators aspiring to cultivate immortality, and he was no exception.

The reason why the progress of the ancient freaks is limited is definitely partly due to their bizarre nature.

"What are your plans?"

Cao Yusheng was very smart. He knew that Shi Yi was not talking about so much without a purpose.

Shi Yi liked dealing with intelligent people. He had a premonition that the birth of this third strand of immortal energy would most likely drag him into a dark cage, just like Shi Hao, causing him to lose his primordial spirit.

Once imprisoned in the dark cage, no matter how strong he is, he will probably find it difficult to break free. At that time, he will be helpless and unable to call for help. If someone were to chant the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture for him by his physical body, summoning his primordial spirit and guiding him through the darkness, he might be able to turn the tide.

The most urgent task now is to find the being that is reciting the ancient scriptures.

It's difficult for Shi Yi's followers to trust each other. Even though Shi Yi can see through their thoughts through his double pupils, he can't be completely at ease. After all, it's like entrusting his life to someone else.

If these followers change their minds after Shi Yi loses his primordial spirit, then we're doomed.

It should be understood that a physical body that has cultivated two strands of immortal energy is extremely precious, and all parties will be tempted by it; its value is enormous.

Therefore, Shi Yi must find someone he can absolutely trust.

Among the cultivators who entered the Immortal Ancient Realm, there were not many trustworthy people. The witch was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately, Shi Yi had no news of her at the moment.

Next, we have Cao Yusheng right here.

With the cause and effect of the old senile man giving him the tortoise shell of destiny, Shi Yi could foresee that Cao Yusheng would not harbor any disloyal thoughts. Therefore, he wanted to ask the other party for help in protecting his physical body.

When Shi Yi told Cao Yusheng about his idea, he immediately received a positive response.

"Sure, as long as you trust me." Cao Yusheng's answer was brief and direct.

“Of course,” Shi Yi said.

Cao Yusheng felt flattered to have gained the Great Demon King's trust, but he also understood that it was most likely because of his master.

“I can protect your physical body, but there’s a problem: if your primordial spirit is damaged, I can’t help you,” he said.

“I’ve thought about this before. There’s a scripture that can summon a spirit and guide me in the right direction,” Shi Yi replied.

"What scripture?"

"There is a powerful force in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths called the Temple. The secret scriptures of this sect are called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture, which can summon souls."

"As far as I know, this time when the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud opened, an ancient monster was involved in the temple. His surname is Gu, and he is known as the Ancient Holy Son. We can start by dealing with him," Shi Yi explained in detail.

“Ancient Saint Son? I know this person. He is very strong and has dominated the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud multiple times. He is a true ancient freak. I am not confident in facing him. You can only rely on yourself,” Cao Yusheng said.

"An ancient freak who hasn't even cultivated immortality is nothing but a nobody in front of me," Shi Yi replied domineeringly.

Cao Yusheng didn't think this was bragging. The difference between having immortal energy and not having immortal energy is truly worlds apart. Unless one has made a breakthrough and attained a Dao fruit that transcends common sense in the laws of this world, it is impossible to contend with those who possess immortal energy. Otherwise, one can only be crushed. Moreover, Shi Yi has actually cultivated two strands of immortal energy.

"Alright, let's capture the Ancient Saint Son first."

However, I must warn you that these great sects' prodigies all possess internal restrictions, making it extremely difficult to obtain their unparalleled scriptures.
