The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

"Who are you referring to, fellow Daoist?"

The Dragon Girl, Chang Gongyan, and the others asked with puzzled expressions.

Qin Hao's solemn expression remained unchanged as he solemnly uttered a renowned title.

"The one with double pupils is Shi Yi. He entered the haunted house with us, but now we can't find him."

"A person with double pupils?"

Upon hearing this, Long Nu, Chang Gongyan, and the others were also startled, clearly aware of the formidable reputation of Shi Yi, the one with double pupils.

The stories of "the first being to cultivate immortal energy" and "the first person in the ancient immortal realm" have long been circulating in the ancient immortal realm.

"If they still haven't come out by now, then they really can't come out. Even if they cultivate immortal energy, it will be difficult to break through the endless sea of ​​insects and demons." The dragon girl whispered.

"If the legendary number one person of the Immortal Ancient Era were to be schemed against and killed by that celestial being, it would definitely be a major event that shakes the entire Immortal Ancient Era," Chang Gongyan sighed.

At this moment, Shi Hao shook his head, turned around and looked at the terrifying scene at the Ten Fiends' lair, and said, "He won't perish in a place like this. You probably don't know, but he has already cultivated two strands of immortal energy and has double pupils to see through illusions. How could such a person be trapped in a killing trap?"
Shi Yi must still be alive, and he might even have gained more than we have.

As Shi Yi's arch-enemy, Shi Hao knew his cousin all too well. Thinking back carefully, when entering the three stone gates, Shi Yi stayed behind last. At that time, he might have seen some clues and avoided danger in advance.

At this moment, Shi Yi had already left the territory of the evil nest, but in the opposite direction from Shi Hao and the others.

This direction is a dead end for those who enter the game, so there is no trace of any living creatures.

Shi Yi took a step alone, purple ripples spreading beneath his feet, about to drift away, like a fish entering the sea.

Just then, a commotion came from the horizon. A large cloud of black divine insects drifted over, and tens of thousands of ghosts and demons cleared the way, surrounding the banished immortal as they rapidly approached.

From afar, the immortal's gaze fell upon Shi Yi.

"Brother Shi, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I just had a moment to spare and haven't had a proper chance to say goodbye to you yet," the immortal said, his voice ethereal, like a celestial melody from the heavens.

A pair of Taiyin wings appeared behind Shi Yi, and he used the Kunpeng Extreme Speed ​​to escape at an incredible speed.

He stole the ginseng fruit tree, and the banished immortal must be heartbroken, for it was a complete elixir of immortality, laden with fruit.

Although he has rejected the immortal several times, who can guarantee that he will be rejected again after he has cultivated two strands of immortal energy?

One can imagine that the banished immortal was in great pain at that moment.

That's why he led a swarm of black insects and demons towards this place, clearly indicating that he was up to no good.

"Hehe, that's enough to drop you off here. Go back now." Shi Yi chuckled, casually creating distance between himself and the other person.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you want to know what my seven lifetimes of planning are all about?" The banished immortal was unwilling to give up.

"It's nothing more than a pool of immortal blood. It's of no use to me. Fellow Daoist, you should go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the blood sacrifice is delayed, things may change," Shi Yi replied.

Upon hearing this, the immortal's eyes gleamed, and he indeed stopped and abandoned his pursuit.

His expression remained unchanged, still smiling. He held the bone flute horizontally to his lips, and a few strands of glistening hair on his white forehead fluttered in the wind.

"Then let me play a flute tune for Brother Shi," the immortal sighed and said.

Then, a melodious flute sound rang out, pleasant to the ear, gentle and soft, and one could clearly hear the reluctance in the flute's sound.

It was as if two old friends who had shared life-or-death experiences were about to say goodbye.

This left Shi Yi speechless. He had so rudely barged into the other party's plan and forcibly taken away the Ten Fierce Treasures and the Elixir of Immortality. If the Immortal had the chance, he would have wanted to kill him. Yet now he was playing such an emotionally charged flute tune, as if bidding farewell to an old friend. His scheming was far too deep.

After a moment's thought, he decided to send the other person a line of poetry.

He should have been as famous as the Ten-Crown King or the Six-Crown King, but he endured for so many lifetimes. Now he has finally revealed his fangs. This banished immortal is destined to be famous throughout the ancient world.

"Do not worry about having no friends on the road ahead, for who in the world does not know you? Fellow Daoist Immortal, farewell." Shi Yi said with a smile, and then quickly disappeared into the distance.

The banished immortal muttered to himself, repeating the phrase several times. He couldn't help but smile, exuding an otherworldly aura. Then he sounded the retreat and returned to his haunted lair.

Having received such a great fortune, Shi Yi returned directly to Bright City.

At this time, news that the mysterious person had set up a killing trap in the Ten Fiends' Nest had already spread throughout the Immortal Ancient City. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators had died tragically there and were sacrificed in blood. This news was truly shocking.

Of course, the most shocking news was related to Shi Yi. There were rumors that Shi Yi, known as the "Number One Immortal of Ancient Times" and a person with double pupils, had unexpectedly perished in the Ten Fiends' lair. Moreover, the whole process was described vividly, as if it were true.

This information was naturally leaked by a creature who escaped with Shi Hao and the others, and was then altered by someone with ulterior motives, resulting in the current version.

The news caused a stir within the Pupil Sect, with many powerful members searching far and wide to verify its authenticity.

Many of them didn't believe it. Having witnessed Shi Yi's power, they couldn't believe he would be schemed against and killed by a peerless genius.

These rumors were dispelled only after Shi Yi returned.

"Welcome back, Sect Master!"

A group of primordial divine flames knelt down before Shi Yi. They might have been somewhat unconvinced before, but now, with Shi Yi's two streams of immortal energy standing there, everyone trembled in their hearts.

Shi Yi waved his hand, saying nothing more and not mentioning what happened inside the haunted house.

One of the first generation of divine fire respectfully presented a Qiankun bag.

Shi Yi knew that these were cultivation resources offered to him by his followers. Many of them had benefited greatly from the power of the Tongmen, and compared to their gains, these offerings were nothing.

He did not refuse, and directly took the Qiankun bag. He gently scanned the inside with his divine sense and was surprised to see two divine herbs and many sacred herbs.

Then, the first generation gave a detailed account of the origins of these great medicines.

The two medicinal herbs were offered by Shi Yi's fervent followers, whose worship of Shi Yi was deeply ingrained.

Shi Yi nodded, offered some words of praise, and then inquired about the matter he cared about most: the world and sacred objects related to the Dao of Space.

"Currently... there is no news yet, but the cultivators of the Pupil Sect are making every effort to find it."

Shi Yi was not disappointed; this thing couldn't be found so easily.

There's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Soon, the Tongmen cultivators withdrew, leaving only one person behind to report to Shi Yi on some major events that had recently occurred in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Listening to the man's report, Shi Yi nodded from time to time, gaining a general understanding of the situation within the Immortal Ancient City.

Since Shi Hao entered the blood-stained dark ancient ship, which was also the small source of the strange curse, the curse power in this ancient immortal realm has been almost non-existent.

Many ancient oddities discovered this, and so they all tried to break through and take that step. Some succeeded, and some failed, but most failed. The danger of cultivating immortal energy does not come entirely from the bizarre, but also from the Dao itself that the cultivator cultivates.

Guang Shiyi heard of six or seven ancient freaks who failed, but of course, there were also quite a few who succeeded.

The Fallen Gods, the Dark Gods, and others all achieved great success and became renowned throughout the world.

Shi Yi didn't care about this; for him, the only real opponents were always the same few.

After the Tongmen cultivators withdrew, Shi Yi fell into deep thought.

What should he do next? Should he continue to wait for news from the Tongmen cultivators, or should he go and search for them himself?

"We can't place all our hopes on others," Shi Yi sighed softly, deciding to go find it himself.

After much deliberation, he set his sights on the Burial Realm.

As far as he knew, in the Burial City, one of the four ancient lands of the Burial Realm, there was a bottomless black abyss at its very center. At the bottom of the black abyss, there was an altar. Countless years ago, when the Immortal Ancient Era came to an end, the last hope of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, escaped into the endless spacetime turbulence through that altar.

Since it's related to time and space, then perhaps it contains something that Shi Yi needs.

However, before heading to the Burial Realm, Shi Yi needs to go into seclusion for a while.

Within his chaotic little world, there was a complete immortal corpse obtained from the lower realm, which he had never used. Now, with two strands of immortal energy within him, it was time to make good use of this immortal corpse.

This is the complete remains of a true immortal. Sitting cross-legged beside it, one can draw upon the immortal aura of the true immortal to cultivate immortal energy and bring oneself closer to perfection.

Shi Yi gave orders to the Tongmen cultivators that no one was allowed to approach the secret chamber. After doing so, his eyes flashed, he opened the Chaos Small World, and then stepped into it.

After greeting the ginseng fruit tree, he went to the immortal corpse, took out the Kunpeng futon, sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes slightly, and two holy immortal energies swirled around him, making him look incomparably sacred.

The immortal corpse beside him was the remains of divine generals under the command of the Immortal Kings, who were suppressed in the Void God Realm within the prison of the Eight Domains of the Lower Realm.

Although he had fallen into darkness and was suppressed by the giants of the Immortal Realm, his immortal body remained pure and flawless, showing no signs of having fallen into darkness.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to lie low in the Immortal Realm for so long.

If they hadn't deliberately exposed themselves, the Immortal Realm would never have discovered their true identities.

There are many such beings within the Immortal Realm.

Shi Yi calmed his mind and focused his spirit, using his own two streams of immortal energy to draw upon the immortal aura on the immortal corpse, thus cultivating himself.

Soon, the two streams of immortal energy were strengthened, becoming thicker and more complete.

Shi Yi experienced the benefits of this kind of practice, calmed down, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and immersed himself in it.

Cultivation knows no time, and three months passed in the blink of an eye. In the chaotic small world, beside the immortal corpse, Shi Yi's cultivation had reached its final stage. At this moment, the two strands of immortal energy around him were infinitely close to perfection, much stronger than at the beginning, and Shi Yi's strength had also increased.

This is a cultivation method that all cultivators with immortal energy can undertake. However, there are very few ways to do it. One can either kill other cultivators with immortal energy and directly devour their immortal energy to strengthen oneself, or use the remains of immortals to replenish one's immortal energy.

"Buzz!"

With a soft sound, Shi Yi's two streams of immortal energy reached their complete perfection and could no longer grow stronger.

He stopped his meditation, opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.

The immortal corpse before him was unharmed, and the energy required for Shi Yi's cultivation was negligible to it.

In fact, this immortal corpse has many uses; it's not impossible to use it to cultivate immortal energy.

However, Shi Yi's attempt to cultivate immortality on his own using methods like immortal corpses was a poor choice.

He stayed in the chaotic little world for a while longer before emerging from seclusion.

The secret chamber remained unchanged. Shi Yi emerged from it, summoned the Tongmen cultivators, and inquired about the major events that had occurred within the Immortal Ancient Realm over the past three months.

Upon learning that the successor of the Immortal Palace had been forcefully killed by Shi Hao, Shi Yi was not surprised.

One has already cultivated immortal energy, while the other has only cultivated some wisps of immortal mist; they are not even in the same league.

Even if Di Chong and Shi Hao were on the same level, it would be more likely that Di Chong would be defeated, without a doubt.

Besides Shi Hao killing Di Chong, there were also some other glorious achievements of this ancient freak, which were awe-inspiring in the ancient world. However, none of them caught Shi Yi's eye.

His real focus was on beings like the Ten-Crown King and the Immortal.

Unfortunately, both the Ten-Crown King and the Immortal seemed to be trying to break through to the second level of immortality, and had not yet emerged from seclusion to appear in the world, nor had they achieved any significant feats.

Shi Yi shook his head and watched the Tongmen cultivator leave. The next moment, he got up from the sect leader's throne, preparing to head to the Burial Realm to explore the bottom of the Black Abyss.

At the same time, in the Azure Spirit Realm, Shi Hao and his friends and followers held a banquet, and all sorts of amazing ingredients were taken out. Poor Di Chong became one of the dishes, after all, he was not in human form, but a nine-headed phoenix.

Qingyi, Little Rabbit, Cao Yusheng... almost everyone who was on good terms with Shi Hao was present. They were chatting and laughing, drinking and eating happily.

After a few rounds of drinks, Shi Hao discussed the road ahead with everyone, telling them that he wanted to break through to the second level of immortal energy.

Shi Yi has already succeeded, and he has fallen far behind, so naturally he wants to catch up.

"The second stream of immortal energy... will be much more difficult than the first. A slight misstep could send you plunging into an abyss," Qingyi said.

"Have you thought about what path you're going to take in the future?" the little rabbit asked curiously.

“Of course, the three thousand flames burning my body helped me cultivate a wisp of immortal energy. Next is the burning of ten thousand flames.” Shi Hao nodded.

Upon hearing his plan, everyone gasped in shock.

The path of being consumed by a thousand fires has been attempted by countless beings throughout history, but without exception, they all perish. Without a doubt, it is a dead end.

"Even if it's difficult, even if it means being shattered to pieces, I will persevere and keep going." Shi Hao said firmly, unable to bear being half a step behind Shi Yi.

"Regarding the second wisp of immortal energy... I do know something about it." Suddenly, Cao Yusheng spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over curiously.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yusheng scratched his head and smiled: "It's about the tribulations encountered after success, not the process of the shock."

"What kind of tribulation will one encounter after cultivating a second strand of immortal energy?" Shi Hao asked curiously. Wasn't that blood-stained dark ancient ship already suppressed by that "King"? How could it still face tribulation?

"This brings us to a well-known ancient freak," Cao Yusheng began.
