The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

“It’s alright. I don’t need to steal his skills. I just need him to recite the true scriptures at crucial moments,” Shi Yi replied.

"I see. As long as you capture him and control his life, he will not dare to disobey your will and will surely recite the scriptures obediently."

The two then left this realm.

As they departed, this most mysterious ancient realm in history collapsed and vanished at an incredible speed, like a bubble being popped, disappearing into thin air.

Following the route they had taken, Shi Yi and Cao Yusheng returned to Guangming City.

"Those ancient freaks are mostly in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, while some first-generation powerhouses travel the world on their behalf to collect all kinds of resources needed for cultivation."

"We can find out about the temple with just a little inquiry," Cao Yusheng said.

“That’s easy. Just ask my followers. They’ve been all over the Immortal Ancient Lands and know a lot.” Shi Yi nodded.

Soon after, he issued the demand, which quickly spread throughout the ancient cities.

Soon, the first generation of divine fire came looking for them.

"I've met the sect master."

He bowed to Shi Yi, his eyes revealing no trace of his respect for Shi Yi.

After all, he is the only person in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm who has been confirmed to have cultivated immortal energy. Throughout history, very few people have been able to do so.

Although Shi Yi wasn't particularly interested in the so-called Pupil Sect, he still nodded slightly.

"Speak, tell me everything you know about the temple."

The First Generation Divine Fire dared not delay. Without saying a word, he directly revealed everything in his mind related to the temple.

The Temple is one of the ancient powers that is on par with the Supreme Hall and the Immortal Palace.

It is not very large in scale and has few people, but it is extremely powerful. This lineage is built on a temple, which enshrines three ancient and indestructible statues. It is said that the owner of these three statues is an immortal from the Immortal Ancient Era, who is boundless in power.

What is most frightening is that this lineage possesses an unparalleled ancient scripture—the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture—which has swept across countless eras, inspiring awe and reverence.

In this era, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm opens, and two great geniuses from the Divine Temple participate. One is the young supreme being of the Divine Temple in this era, and the other is Shi Yi's target, the ancient freak, the Ancient Saint Son. In terms of mastery of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture, the Ancient Saint Son is stronger than the other person and is the best candidate.

At this very moment, the Ancient Saint is in seclusion, undergoing profound enlightenment. He had won the title of the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud many years ago, and more than once. He had accumulated his strength over several lifetimes, all for the purpose of breaking through the shackles in this life, becoming a god in an unconventional way, and cultivating the aura of immortality.

Currently, the one who walks the world in his place is a white lion, possessing the strength of the first generation.

However, relying on the prestige of the ancient saint, this white lion has always been unrestrained and arrogant. Apart from a few forces that can make it back down, it has no regard for the rest.

Of course, this white lion must have its own abilities to be valued by the ancient saint and entrusted with many affairs in his place.

It is very good at assessing situations. When it encounters a weak person, it will suppress them directly. When it encounters a valuable strong person, it will show goodwill and bring them under the command of the ancient saint or form an alliance.

"It is said that the white lion has been active near Bright City recently, exchanging holy medicines and divine medicines for the ancient holy son." After saying this, the First Generation Divine Fire cupped his hands to Shi Yi, lowered his head, and waited for instructions.

"Excellent, this information is very useful to me." Shi Yi praised the creature and gave it a reward.

The first generation of Divine Flame was flattered and accepted the reward. He then took his leave and left the main hall.

Watching the First Generation Divine Flame depart, Shi Yi's eyes flickered slightly. In reality, he only needed one piece of information: where were the Ancient Saint's subordinates now?

Since it's near Bright City, that makes things simple. As the saying goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but it comes to you effortlessly."

Shi Yi immediately decided to set off and find the first white lion first.

Finding it will allow us to follow the clues and locate the hiding place of the ancient saint.

Cao Yusheng also went along, splitting into two groups. He himself was not weak. He might not be confident in dealing with the ancient monsters, but he was more than capable of suppressing a first-generation being.

Using the Tongmen's information network, Shi Yi quickly located a region.

It was a market town. According to a cultivator from the Tongmen sect, he had just seen the white lion appear there a day ago, presumably purchasing some resources.

Shi Yi opened his Taiyin double pupils, his deep eyes shrouded in a thick mist, making it impossible to see clearly or understand him.

He stepped into the market and, after making some inquiries, set his sights on a small auction house.

The first White Lion participated in this auction, solely to compete for a material needed by the Ancient Holy Child.

Shi Yi didn't go in; he just waited quietly at the exit because the auction was nearing its end.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a lot of footsteps, and the creatures participating in the auction came out of the exit one after another.

Shi Yi's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, instantly locking onto a white figure, which was the first generation of the White Lion he was looking for.

At this moment, the white lion was all smiles. It had successfully won what it wanted. With the name of the Ancient Holy Son, no one dared to be unafraid. It had acquired it with almost no effort.

Its heart was filled with joy. The more it did for the ancient saint, the more effort it put in, the richer the rewards the ancient saint would bestow. Once it left the Immortal Ancient Realm, it could also establish a connection with the temple, and its life would be smooth sailing.

The next item wasn't available in Bright City, so it needed to be purchased from another city. In order to save time, the White Lion didn't linger and left Bright City directly, flying off in one direction.

However, the white lion hadn't gone far when it suddenly felt a chill all over its body. It immediately became alert and sensed that something was wrong.

For cultivators, this feeling signifies danger; a crisis is inevitably approaching.

"I see you, come out." The white lion stopped abruptly and shouted loudly at the empty void.

The next moment, Shi Yi stepped out of the void, his body filled with fragments of time and causal mist. In this state, it was difficult for enemies to find his trace, and even interfered with the deductions about him in the dark.

"There really was someone there, but their composure was too weak; they came out as soon as they were tricked," the white lion murmured.

Shi Yi didn't respond; he had no time to play hide-and-seek with such a nobody.

"Buzz!"

The mist before the Taiyin Double Pupil dissipated, revealing an extremely cold eye. With just one glance, the first White Lion froze, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The latter was shocked and recognized what the eye was.

"Double...double pupils? You are Shi Yi, the one with double pupils?" The white lion looked horrified and retreated more than ten steps in the void.

Although it was a powerful first-generation cultivator, it was no match for Shi Yi, the "Number One Immortal of Ancient Times" with double pupils, who had cultivated immortal energy. It was far inferior.

Even the ancient freak, the Holy Son, who was in seclusion, was very wary of Shi Yi.

Only those who truly embark on the unconventional path to godhood, attempting to cultivate immortal energy, know how arduous this path is, and how powerful they will become upon success. "It's me. Where is the Ancient Saint Son? Take me to him." Shi Yi's expression was cold, his eyes disdainful, conveying a sense of superiority.

Upon hearing this, the white lion's eyes flickered, his mind churning as he pondered where the temple lineage had offended Shi Yi.

It couldn't figure it out no matter how much it thought about it. You see, the ancient saint had clearly told it not to offend the Pupil Sect unless absolutely necessary, lest it attract Shi Yi, a great enemy. It had always acted cautiously and had never provoked him.

"The ancient saint is in seclusion and it is inconvenient for him to see people. Once he completes his cultivation and comes out of seclusion, he will definitely visit the Pupil Sect in person." The white lion was still trying to dodge the question.

"You have only two choices: either reveal his hiding place or die." Shi Yi's voice was cold, like a calamity descending from the heavens to judge humanity.

The white lion's soul trembled, and even its divine fire shook violently. It was certain that Shi Yi had come with malice, and now the temple was in trouble and about to suffer a calamity.

When the location of the ancient holy son's hiding place was mentioned, an image of a place and a figure involuntarily appeared in its mind.

Unbeknownst to it, these secrets were all captured and understood by Shi Yi's Yin Double Pupil.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems the Temple hasn't offended the Pupil Sect, has it?"

Shi Yi merely snorted coldly, then struck out with his palm towards the white lion.

This palm strike was so heavy, it felt as if it were propelling the sun, moon, and stars forward. In an instant, the white lion's expression changed drastically, and a sense of powerlessness arose in its heart.

"Roar!"

The white lion roared and unleashed its most powerful strike at the palm print.

Without turning his head, Shi Yi's attack did not kill the white lion. The lion spoke in its mind, which was a different way of telling Shi Yi.

"puff!"

The white lion was so badly blasted by the palm strike that it felt like its body was about to fall apart. It couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground. It tried to get up, but it was suppressed by a symbol and could not move or do anything.

Although there was no enmity, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was a place of constant struggle. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture was of great use to Shi Yi, so he had a reason to make a move.

It was already good enough that it wasn't killed on the spot; leaving a symbol to suppress it was also to prevent it from tipping off others.

Shi Yi walked away into the distance without looking back. According to the secrets he had discovered, the White Lion did not directly contact the Ancient Saint Son; there was another process in between.

The white lion and several first-generation members collected the materials needed by the ancient holy son, and then handed them over to a golden-striped white tiger, which then delivered them to the ancient holy son.

Because of this intermediate process, the White Lion and the other first generation members had no idea where the Ancient Holy Son was in seclusion; they only knew where he was meeting with the Golden-Striped White Tiger.

The only one who truly knows the location of the Ancient Saint's seclusion is the Golden-Striped White Tiger. It is a sacred beast of the temple within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm and was raised by the Ancient Saint from a young age, so it can be absolutely trusted.

"The ancient saint is indeed cautious; he even kept a secret from his followers," Shi Yi remarked.

He flew swiftly to the meeting place of the white lion and the golden-striped white tiger, and soon approached that realm.

Shi Yi stepped into the ancient realm and arrived at the foot of a large mountain, where there was an ancient cave.

Every so often, the Golden-Striped White Tiger would wait in the ancient cave, where several of the first generation would gather at the appointed time to offer up the things they had collected.

At this moment, it will be several days before the Golden-Striped White Tiger arrives.

Shi Yi wasn't in a hurry; he simply waited outside the ancient cave.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The appointed day for offering supplies arrived. The Golden-Striped White Tiger came to the ancient cave as usual. Because of the ancient holy son's reputation, this sacred beast of the temple was not particularly cautious. Perhaps it thought that no one would dare to mess with the ancient holy son.

Only when Shi Yi's figure appeared at the entrance of the ancient cave did the Golden-Striped White Tiger open its eyes wide, its golden stripes on its forehead glowing, releasing a terrifying killing intent.

"Who are you? How did you find this place?" the golden-striped white tiger roared, its voice like the clang of swords.

"Where is the Ancient Saint?" Shi Yi's gaze was cold, like a true immortal looking down upon the mortal world.

The golden-striped white tiger paused, recognizing Shi Yi's identity.

"A person with double pupils!"

"What do you want with the Ancient Saint? What is your purpose? Unless he comes out of seclusion, he will not meet with anyone else." The Golden-Striped White Tiger's voice lowered considerably.

Even a powerful being like it had to lower its proud head in the face of the renowned double-pupiled being; this was due to its strength.

“I only sought him out to discuss something. I had no ill intentions. You have no choice. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do.”

"Impossible. The ancient saint's secluded cultivation place is a top secret of the temple. Even if you are a person with double pupils, you cannot know it." The golden-striped white tiger directly refused without leaving any room for negotiation.

Its loyalty to the ancient holy son is unparalleled by any of its followers.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say," Shi Yi said, shrugging.

This white tiger is indeed extraordinary. Unlike the white lion, it didn't reveal a lot of information just because Shi Yi provoked it.

"Aren't you afraid that if you act this way, the Ancient Saint Son will cause trouble for the Pupil Sect after he comes out of seclusion?" The Golden-Striped White Tiger was a little scared, as it did not have the strength to deal with a Celestial Aura user.

Shi Yi didn't answer, but directly attacked the golden-striped white tiger. When his palm struck down, the void exploded. If you looked closely, you would find that there was a hazy immortal aura swirling between his five fingers.

The golden-striped white tiger changed color as it faced the immortal energy, which sent chills down its spine. Not daring to be careless, it immediately activated its innate divine power, its entire body radiating golden patterns as it rushed toward Shi Yi's palm.

"boom!"

The Golden-Striped White Tiger was shot down and its body was in excruciating pain, but it did not disintegrate. Not long ago, the Ancient Saint discovered a Chaos Pool containing a mysterious liquid. Applying this liquid to the body would push the body's strength to its limit.

The Golden-Striped White Tiger also received some, thus withstanding the attack from the immortal.

But that was all. With Shi Yi's second strike, it could no longer hold on and was knocked to the ground, its body riddled with cracks and a bloody mess.

Shi Yi still needed to find the Ancient Saint, so naturally he had to spare its life.

"you……"

The golden-striped white tiger was furious, but there was nothing it could do.

It is not weak, but in front of those with immortal energy, it is no different from an ant.

"Even if you suppress me, you'll never find out where the ancient saint is in seclusion." It was stubborn and would rather die than speak.

Without wasting words, Shi Yi grabbed the primordial spirit from the white tiger's head and began to search its soul.
