The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Chapter 249 Journey to the Haunted Nest

Shi Yi gave away some precious items.

Cao Yusheng and Gu Shengzi naturally had no reason to refuse and accepted the gifts.

Afterwards, Cao Yusheng asked Shi Yi about his next plans.

"The year and a half of cultivation has finally come to an end. The emergence of the three immortal energies has consumed too many cultivation resources. Even if we find a sacred object, we cannot start the next step, the path of space, immediately, as our resource reserves are already severely insufficient."

So next, I need to start collecting various resources.

To be honest, I haven't really explored the Immortal Ancient City properly since I entered it so long ago. You know, there are even the Ten Fiends' Lairs here.

"Besides the areas where cultivators from the outside world are active, the world inhabited by the original inhabitants of the Immortal Ancient is also quite mysterious," Shi Yi replied.

With two streams of immortal energy surrounding him, he was now fearless no matter who he encountered.

Of course, the natives are an exception. Although the natives of the Immortal Ancient are cursed after reaching a certain level, losing their minds, becoming crazy, and eventually dying, there are also cult leaders among them.

Even if Shi Yi were invincible among his peers, he would not be able to withstand a being of this level.

"I'm going back to the Realm of Heroes to try and cultivate immortal energy. I sense that the eeriness in this secret realm seems to have been weakened, and the chances of success are high." The Ancient Saint spoke, expressing his desire to return to his secluded cultivation place.

“Indeed, there’s been a problem with the source of the strangeness. Now is the best time to cultivate immortal energy.” Shi Yi nodded.

Afterwards, the ancient saint bid farewell to the two, not traveling with them, but leaving this realm alone, his figure disappearing at the edge of the sky.

"What about you?"

Shi Yi looked at Cao Yusheng.

"I also want to try and see if I can cultivate immortal energy, but my master said that I am not destined for immortal energy. This time I came here mainly for training." Cao Yusheng spread his hands helplessly.

Shi Yi nodded.

Although Cao Yusheng is much stronger than the first generation, he is still far behind the ancient freaks and does not have such a strong foundation.

Among the world's most outstanding talents, perhaps only Shuang Shi could cultivate immortal energy entirely through his own efforts.

The two traveled together, leaving this ancient realm. Halfway there, Cao Yusheng bid farewell, refusing to believe in superstitions and wanting to try and see if he could cultivate immortal energy.

Shi Yi did not stop him; one can only know the answer to such a thing by trying it oneself.

Upon his return to Bright City, cultivators from the Pupil Sect immediately came to report on some major events that had recently occurred.

During the six months that Shi Yi was in seclusion, the outside world was in turmoil, with many supreme experts emerging, sweeping away enemies of the same level and establishing a formidable reputation.

The most dazzling among them was his cousin Shi Hao, who successfully cultivated a wisp of immortal energy around his body. Before that, a wisp of primordial energy had also appeared.

Shi Yi was not surprised by his younger brother's rise. This Shi Hao was indeed stronger than the original Shi Hao of the same period. He already had a strong understanding of the Original True Explanation, and now that he had mastered the Transcendence Chapter of the Original True Explanation, he naturally went a step further and knew better how to struggle in the mortal world.

"Sect Master, recently, it seems that the Nest of Ten Fiends has appeared in the Nest Realm. About a hundred thousand cultivators have gathered there, including many of the first generation and even a lot of ancient freaks. I heard that it is related to the Dao of Power." A cultivator mentioned this, wanting to see if Shi Yi was interested in the place.

That's the lair of the Ten Fiends, containing countless rare and precious materials, and possibly even the inheritance of the Ten Fiends. Its value is immeasurable. He felt that with the sect leader's combat strength, he could definitely stand out and seize the greatest fortune.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's expression shifted slightly.

The Nest of the Ten Fiends, if nothing unexpected happens, should be a nest of the Ten Fiends Horned Ants. However, the nest was visited a long time ago, and some of its access was gained.

In subsequent lifetimes, countless geniuses have been slaughtered. This lifetime marks the last time the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud will bloom, and the Ten Fiends' Nest will be the most dangerous in history, potentially even burying ancient freaks within it.

The person who set up this scheme was none other than the Immortal Immortal, one of the strongest geniuses in the Immortal Ancient Era.

This person has been plotting for generations, tempering himself with the essence and blood of countless geniuses. He cultivated a wisp of immortal energy long ago, and this should be his plan to cultivate a second wisp of immortal energy around his body.

To go or not to go?
Shi Yi is facing a choice.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he made his decision: to go and snatch food from the tiger's mouth, to fight for the fortune of the Ten Fiends' lair.

At this moment, he was not like Shi Yi, Shi Hao, and the others who were tricked and fled in a sorry state by the banished immortal in the original story. None of them had cultivated immortal energy, while the banished immortal had already cultivated a strand of immortal energy. Faced with such a ruthless person, they naturally could not contend with him.

This Shi Yi is different. He has cultivated two streams of immortal energy around his body, and his primordial spirit has been tempered and refined in the dark cage, becoming extremely powerful. With his strength, he can not be said to be able to walk sideways in the Ten Fiends' Nest, but he is almost as powerful as anyone else.

In addition, he possesses the Taiyin Double Pupil, which allows him to see through illusions and perceive dangers. As long as he is careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

It's unrealistic to compete with the Immortal for the fortune of the Ten Fiends' Nest. After all, the Immortal has been operating there for many lifetimes and has a lot of power over the Ten Fiends' Nest. He has many methods. However, taking away a part of it should not be a problem.

Moreover, Shi Hao in this life is far stronger than in the original story, having already cultivated immortal energy. This trip to the evil lair is bound to be full of ups and downs.

“I will go, but I will go alone. It is extremely dangerous there. Countless geniuses have been lost there throughout history, and it is destined to be a bloodbath in this life as well.”

"In the midst of this deadly trap, even the first generation is like grass, and the ancient freaks can only meet their demise. The people of the Pupil Sect should not get involved." Shi Yi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the first generation of gods looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally planned to rush in and compete for the Ten Fiends' Creation.

Now that the sect leader has spoken, the people of the Tong Sect are forbidden from participating. They dare not disobey and can only obey Shi Yi's orders.

Not only the Tongmen cultivators in Bright City, but also the Tongmen cultivators in the other nine great cities received this order. Although they were puzzled, no one dared to question the sect leader's decision.

In the present-day Immortal Ancient City, the winds of change are blowing and powerful figures are emerging one after another. With Shi Yi standing there like a great tree, they can better rely on him for shade.

At the same time, Shi Hao also made a decision to go to the Nest of the Ten Fiends in the Nest Realm. The value of the Ten Fiends Treasure Techniques was immeasurable. If he could obtain them, he would make a huge profit.

On the other side, in an ancient cave, the light of immortals shone brightly, and the place was incredibly sacred. Supreme scriptures flowed and celestial music wafted, as if an ancient immortal was preaching there, which was truly extraordinary.

Inside the ancient cave, a young man dressed in battle armor slowly rose to his feet. He was tall and slender, with a handsome and imposing appearance, and eyes like lightning, exuding an aura of royalty.

It was none other than the renowned "Double Bone Supreme" Qin Hao. Back when he was on Devil Island and in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the two bones in his body had not yet fully grown, and his potential had not yet been fully unleashed. Therefore, his strength was lukewarm, and he only dominated a few states near the Five Elements Continent. However, now, as time has passed, the two bones in Qin Hao's body have begun to exert their power. At this moment, he kills the first generation as easily as slaughtering dogs, which has already transcended this realm.

However, compared to the freaks of ancient times, Qin Hao is still quite lacking.

"Is the lair of one of the Ten Fiends about to emerge? What a tremendous opportunity! I certainly can't miss such a grand event." He muttered to himself, rose, and stepped out of the ancient cave. A blazing immortal light erupted from his chest, and with a long roar, he charged towards the Nest Realm. Outside the Immortal Ancient City, everyone witnessed this scene and couldn't help but look at the Immortal Venerable Qin Changsheng.

Everyone thought that the two bones in Qin Hao's chest were his brother's supreme bone and a bone similar to the first generation. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a celestial bone.

Within the Immortal Ancient Realm, in a cave dwelling, a transcendent being stepped out. He was dressed in white, even his shoes were white, like a true immortal who had stepped out of a painting, untouched by the dust of the mortal world.

This is an avatar of Ning Chuan, the six-time champion, who was sent to the Nest Realm to compete for the Ten Fiends' Creation.

His true form remained seated in the cave. He had already succeeded in cultivating immortal energy, but needed to stabilize it.

"The Nest of Ten Fiends... In the past, I went there six times but gained nothing. This is the last time it will be opened. I hope I can make a breakthrough." Inside the ancient cave, Ning Chuan muttered to himself. He had just cultivated immortal energy and it was not yet stable. His true body could not be born. Otherwise, he would never have sent a mere clone.

“However, those few descendants of the sinful clans are a bit troublesome. I heard they have all cultivated immortal energy…” Ning Chuan pondered.

Then, he let out a cold laugh: "How difficult is it to cultivate immortal energy? We have been plotting for this for several lifetimes. I don't believe they cultivated it through normal means. There must be some unknown secrets."

Even now, they have no experience fighting ancient monsters. I want to see if they are truly genuine or just imposters.

In the Nest Realm, Shi Yi arrived, strolling alone through the void with unparalleled composure.

As soon as he arrived at the Nest Realm, he smelled the blood in the void. The battle for the Ferocious Nest had begun. Although it was only a struggle for the outer creation, it was fierce enough. He hadn't gone far when he saw the still-warm bones on the ground.

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

Shi Yi shook his head, stepped over the corpses, and continued forward. Soon, he arrived at the Ghost Forest, a very famous place in the Nest Realm.

Pass through this forest, and you will find the evil nest.

Without hesitation, Shi Yi stepped straight into the Ghost Forest. Now, with two strands of immortal energy surrounding him, he was naturally unafraid of these ghostly places.

The gray fog drifted by, not very thick, but it blurred and obscured the distant scenery.

However, from Shi Yi's perspective with his double pupils, the gray mist was nothing. The two streams of immortal energy surrounding his body and the three Great Daos not only made him extraordinary in combat, but also sublimated his double pupil power, making it even more astonishing.

Small trees, each about half a person's height, were haphazardly rooted here. They didn't seem particularly strange, but an eerie aura permeated the air, which was peculiar and made people uneasy.

Shi Yi stepped into the crowd, his brows furrowed slightly. He sensed a strange force attempting to invade his primordial spirit.

This ghost forest is most famous for its inability to make those who enter lose themselves. They often wander around aimlessly for a long time, and some even forget the purpose of their trip after entering.

Shi Yi's heart stirred, and his primordial spirit immediately released a blazing light, shattering that power. Then, purple patterns appeared under his feet, and he used the Qilin Step, suddenly increasing his speed.

Along the way, he encountered many powerful figures, but they all kept their distance and remained vigilant.

Not long after, he rushed out of the place and arrived at the legendary lair of the Ten Fiends.

It was a magnificent broken mountain, its interior seemingly hollowed out, sitting in front of everyone, shrouded in the aura of the Great Dao, and atop the broken mountain, a magnificent scene unfolded before all.

One after another, enormous blood moons hung high above the Broken Mountain, a total of thirty-three, seemingly representing the Thirty-Three Heavens. Not only that, but there were also ten suns even larger than the blood moons, illuminating the past and present.

As Shi Yi gazed at this scene, his double pupils shone brightly, revealing a great deal of insight.

The legend is true: the ten crimson suns and thirty-three blood moons all bear traces of immortal blood. The battle back then was too tragic, and too many immortals died. Their blood stained the sun and moon red.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound arose, and three thousand stars rose slowly, most of them blue, many of them stained with blood, bursting out of the chaos and rumbling around the ancient land.

Although the distance seemed short, Shi Yi knew that they were actually far apart. The spatial rules here were chaotic, and outside the ominous nest, there were many ancient lands with tempting great fortunes.

At a glance, Shi Yi saw a lake of spiritual liquid, in which phoenix fish with amazing life essence swam, adorned with dazzling wings.

He then saw vast forests of divine fruits, and even a magnificent sacred realm, within which stood an ancient palace, drifting on the river of life, its Taoist sounds booming, its runes radiant, a scene of divine holiness.

These places are clearly extraordinary, hiding incredible opportunities that drive cultivators crazy.

Countless cultivators rushed through the Ghost Forest, surging forward like moths to a flame.

Shi Yi also became one of them. He desperately needed resources like holy medicine and divine medicine. Although the Pupil Sect was vast and could provide him with a lot, the spatial tribulation was definitely not something that could be easily overcome unscathed; the resources required were astonishing.

As soon as he took a step, silver symbols flashed beneath his feet, converging into a path that carried Shi Yi towards an ancient land.

However, the destination ahead was not what Shi Yi wanted to go to.

But he couldn't control it either; the path through which the silver symbols converged was a rule of the ominous nest, too high a level to be changed.

Shi Yi landed and looked around. He immediately saw dozens of sacred herbs rooted in a mountain stream.

Without hesitation, he walked straight to the mountain stream, reached out his large hand, and put dozens of sacred herbs into his pocket.

In comparison, the eight lower realms are practically barren lands, where even sacred medicines are a luxury.

Unlike the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, where sacred medicines are everywhere, divine medicines are plentiful, and even elixirs of immortality can be found.

Just as Shi Yi was about to leave, an uninvited guest arrived; a group of creatures came and stopped him.

"Put down the sacred medicine you just picked, and then you can get out of here."

The newcomer was clearly up to no good; he was covered in blood and looked like a seasoned robber.

This time, however, they ran into a brick wall.

Shi Yi remained expressionless, but a dangerous aura emanated from his dark, double pupils.

"Kid, didn't you hear me?"

The next moment, Shi Yi's eyes flashed as he scanned the robbers. Instantly, these creatures froze on the spot, their eyes dimming, before collapsing powerlessly, lifeless.
