The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

The ancient saint, who was in seclusion in the realm of heroes, suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if a cold wind had blown by, causing him to shiver inexplicably.

"What's going on?" The ancient saint asked, bewildered.

He's no ordinary man; he's an ancient freak with blood and qi as powerful as a dragon. How could he possibly feel cold? Unless he's in a place where the power of Yin energy is concentrated.

At this moment, the ancient saint had a bad feeling and wanted to change his location to go into seclusion. However, his cultivation had reached the most critical moment, and moving his location at will might lead to failure.

With that in mind, he could only grit his teeth and continue cultivating.

Since the strange power weakened, the ancient saint has been in seclusion, trying to break through to immortality. Now he has made some progress and is not far from cultivating his first strand of immortality.

However, whether he can truly cultivate it is still unknown. Historically, many people have been stuck at the stage of immortal mist, unable to condense it into true immortal energy. Therefore, the ancient saint still cannot be careless.

On the other side, in the Burial Realm, Shi Yi arrived. He did not use the Seventy-Two Transformations Technique to conceal his appearance, but his face was shrouded in a hazy mist, making it impossible for outsiders to see his true face. His aura was also ethereal and unpredictable.

This small world is extremely mysterious. Millions of cultivators have entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, but only a handful of people know about it and are able to enter. They are either the strongest first-generation cultivators or ancient freaks; others simply have no way to get in.

After inquiring, Shi Yi was given a map and instructions on how to enter by a first-generation member of the Pupil Sect, which allowed him to successfully enter.

This realm is incredibly vast, several times larger than a typical minor world. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are towering and majestic, the vegetation is strange and bizarre, adorned with blood-red patterns—everything is extraordinary.

As soon as Shi Yi entered this realm, he sensed a trace of the Dao and couldn't help but connect with it. This was a trace left by an immortal, and anyone who entered this realm with keen senses would be able to sense it.

In a daze, he seemed to see a grand altar and hear a call that had lasted for eternity.

Shi Yi regained his composure, broke free from that state, then determined his direction and flew straight towards the location of the Black Abyss.

The Burial Realm is steeped in countless legends. It was one of the most important battlefields of the previous era, where countless powerful figures fought fiercely, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, ghosts to wail, and immortals to shed blood.

Therefore, most areas of this realm are barren and contain deadly dangers; no plant can survive in these desolate places.

For this reason, only the strongest first-generation cultivators and ancient freaks are allowed to enter. Even if ordinary cultivators know the coordinates of this place, if they rashly break in, they will be invaded by the killing intent, eventually going into qi deviation and dying.

Of course, there are also oases in the burial world. Some auspicious creatures fall, and their flesh and blood nourish the earth, making some areas vibrant with life.

As Shi Yi traveled through the mountains, he suddenly sensed several gazes as he passed several ridges.

That was a primitive tribe that had lived in this small world for generations. They were human-headed and horse-bodied, an ancient race left over from the Immortal Ancient Era, the Centaur Clan.

At this moment, several centaur creatures noticed Shi Yi's figure and looked at him with cold eyes.

Shi Yi did not stop and swept past. The Burial Realm had ancient immortal clans, and these clans had terrifying experts, including many at the level of gods, and even had sect leaders. With his current strength, he was not qualified to provoke a sect leader.

Therefore, it is best to keep a respectful distance from the ancient immortal race.

Soon after, Shi Yi successfully arrived at the Burial City, one of the four ancient burial sites in the burial world.

Although it is a city, it has no city walls and is more like a super market.

At a glance, one sees numerous ancient and magnificent buildings standing tall, bustling with activity, as well as desolate, rocky areas and majestic mountains. These elements come together to form a massive ancient city.

In the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, Burial City is one of the few ancient cities in the Burial World where native inhabitants still exist. They set up stalls in the city to exchange divine treasures and other items with cultivators from the outside world.

Due to the formidable strength of these indigenous groups, few cultivators dare to provoke them or cause a rift with them.

Shi Yi arrived and stepped into the giant city, blending into the crowd. Here, many beings did not want to be recognized, so Shi Yi, shrouded in immortal mist, did not seem strange, nor did anyone pay attention to him. After all, this immortal mist was formed from magical power, not from Shi Yi's two strands of immortal energy.

He walked through buildings and bustling streets, heading towards the center of the burial city, where the so-called Black Abyss stood, unchanged since time immemorial.

Shi Yi arrived at the Black Abyss and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down. Although he activated the Taiyin Double Pupil, what he could see was very limited. Below was a dark, bottomless abyss.

The Black Abyss, just as its name suggests, is pitch black, and nothing can be seen. Faintly, one can hear wailing sounds from its deepest part, as if vengeful ghosts are crying out there, which is terrifying.

In addition, the bottomless depths occasionally emit a brilliant light, as if hiding celestial artifacts and supreme treasures.

The treasures are incredibly alluring, and in every lifetime, cultivators have tried to seize the treasures at the bottom of the Black Abyss, attempting to climb down, but all have failed and most have remained there forever.

Legend has it that in the past, the strongest among the indigenous people joined forces to explore the bottom of the Black Abyss, but they never returned. This shows how terrifying the bottom of the Black Abyss is, capable of devouring the consciousness of living beings, like a demonic cave.

“Young man, stop looking. Although there are immortal artifacts sealed beneath the Black Abyss, they are not something we can touch. Those who coveted the immortal artifacts are all dead now. Don’t be so foolish as to follow in their footsteps.” Suddenly, an old aboriginal spoke up, offering this advice.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's expression shifted slightly, and he thanked the creature for its kindness.

Seeing this, the old man thought that he had listened and would not do anything dangerous again. However, the next moment, Shi Yi leaped into the vast, bottomless abyss.

"what?"

The surrounding creatures were shocked. Throughout history, cultivators who had explored this place had always clung cautiously to the rock face, not daring to make any big movements. Yet this cultivator was so bold as to jump down directly, which was truly terrifying.

"How is it? Has he disappeared?"

"They should have fallen to the bottom of the Black Abyss. Jumping straight down is too fast; they won't be able to grab the smooth cliff face. Symbols and patterns will appear on it, bouncing the cultivator away." An experienced being sighed and shook his head.

"He's not dead, he's still alive, just over a hundred feet below, his huge hand firmly gripping the rock face." Someone used their Heavenly Eye to see the scene below.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was deeply moved. What kind of strength was this? He leaped down, falling more than a hundred feet, and still managed to grab onto the rock face.

Seeing Shi Yi so relaxed and composed, several cultivators couldn't resist and followed suit, climbing downwards.

Although the many treasures and divine materials on the Black Abyss cliffs have been almost completely excavated by explorers over the ages, any finds are still fiercely contested by the native inhabitants, who have an immense interest in what lies beneath the Black Abyss.

For countless ages, the original inhabitants of Xian Gu have suffered from the ravages of a curse, and they desperately want to find a solution. What lies beneath the Black Abyss might offer a glimmer of hope. Shi Yi also saw those figures, but he paid them no heed and continued downwards.

Before reaching a hundred feet, the runes overflowing from the cliff face were relatively safe for cultivators at the Divine Fire Realm. However, beyond a hundred feet, they gradually became terrifying, so eerie as to be chilling.

Undeterred, Shi Yi channeled two streams of immortal energy between his fingers and descended rapidly, reaching a distance of seven hundred feet in the blink of an eye. Along the way, he saw many fragments of weapons stuck in the cliff face. Many of these fragments were made of astonishingly precious materials, but he did not stop. For him, materials that were not at the Immortal Gold level were not of much use.

Soon after, he arrived at a depth of 1,800 feet. Even someone as strong as Shi Yi felt a sense of unease upon reaching this place, sensing danger.

The runes spreading from the cliff face were already a threat to him; if he was not careful, he would be knocked down and fall into the endless abyss.

“This Black Abyss is 100,000 zhang deep. With my strength, it would be difficult to go down to 1,800 zhang. It’s impossible to get to the bottom on my own.” Shi Yi shook his head.

He took out his trump card, a tattered suit of armor riddled with holes—the Thunder Emperor Armor.

Without this thing, if you want to get to the bottom, you can only do a leap of faith and then vanish into thin air.

The moment Shi Yi put on the Thunder Emperor Armor, the armor immediately reacted, emitting an exceptionally brilliant light. Instantly, Shi Yi felt a warm sensation all over his body, and the chilling feeling vanished without a trace.

"My God, a divine treasure has appeared beneath the Black Abyss, and it's glowing there."

The people on the Black Abyss saw the light emanating from the Thunder Emperor's armor and were all shocked beyond measure, thinking it was the birth of a divine treasure.

Below, after Shi Yi put on his armor, the repulsive runes on the cliff wall stopped emanating. It resonated with the place in some way, and even the rust spots became incredibly bright.

All of this was within Shi Yi's expectations.

This Black Abyss was a vast battlefield in the ancient times of the Immortals. Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, True Phoenix, Kunpeng, Thunder Emperor, and others fought here, killing countless immortals. It is only natural that Thunder Emperor's armor resonates with this place.

With the protection of the Thunder Emperor's armor, the journey became much easier, with no danger whatsoever. Shi Yi descended directly to a distance of eight thousand feet, where he discovered traces left by the Thunder Emperor in battle.

A streak of electricity, radiating light, was dazzling in the darkness, and the Thunder Emperor's armor reacted, spewing out a soft light.

At 13,000 feet, Shi Yi discovered traces of the battle fought by Kunpeng. Having mastered the Kunpeng Technique, he couldn't help but resonate with it, and a pair of Taiyin Wings naturally appeared and began to operate there.

On the cliff face, broken feathers and shattered scales belong to Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends.

Not far away was a pool of thick blood left by her opponent, eerie and exuding a demonic power.

Shi Yi did not approach rashly. The battles of the strongest people in the past, even though they were separated by thousands of years, still left behind the Dao principles that were clashing. If they were triggered, the consequences would be immeasurable.

At 50,000 feet, Shi Yi discovered traces left by another of the Ten Fiends in battle.

On the rough stone wall, a large pool of blood was almost worn away, with some True Phoenix feathers stuck in it. Over countless years, the bloodstains had been suppressed by the True Phoenix feathers, but now they were almost worn away and turned into nothingness.

The path was marked with traces of powerful figures, making it hard to imagine the fierce battles that had taken place.

The altar at the bottom of the Black Abyss may be their only way out, carrying their hope. That's why these powerful warriors fight endlessly to protect this place.

When we reached over 90,000 zhang, we were extremely close to the bottom, and we could hear a whistling sound coming from below.

This place was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but you could clearly see a golden willow branch covered with golden leaves.

It was nailed to the cliff face, killing a living being and leaving behind its remains.

With Shi Yi's arrival, the remains of this alien creature shattered into dust, leaving only golden willow branches quietly stuck in the cliff face.

Shi Yi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not approach.

The feedback from the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect gave him the answer to the question of whether or not to take the willow branches.

The Willow God is still alive. If he takes the willow branches, he will be creating a karmic burden for himself, which is unnecessary.

Giving up on grasping the willow branch, Shi Yi continued downwards. His ultimate goal was the altar; nothing else mattered, and there was no need to complicate matters.

As time went by, Shi Yi finally reached the bottom of the Black Abyss. So far, he has descended more than 100,000 zhang.

Beneath the abyss lies a world of skeletons, filled with the remains of all kinds of creatures, a veritable land of death.

Shi Yi knew that this was all formed by the creatures that fell from above. Since ancient times, countless creatures have explored this dark abyss. Once an accident occurred, there was no chance of survival. They all fell here and their souls flew away.

He glanced at the skeletons briefly, then turned his attention to something in the darkness.

It was an ancient altar, vast and imposing, exuding a hazy, chaotic aura, as if it existed alongside heaven and earth, eternal and timeless.

This is precisely Shi Yi's goal for this trip.

Back then, the Immortal Ancient Era ended, this realm was defeated, and the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin carried the last hope as it escaped from this altar and sailed into the endless turbulent flow of time and space.

That is why it is related to time and space. Shi Yi needs the sacred object of the Way of Space as a carrier to carry the spatial symbols back to the forbidden sea of ​​suffering. Therefore, he came here.

The altar was incomplete, having been attacked by a supreme being and half destroyed, but its magnificent aura and indescribable sense of vicissitude still made people tremble and unable to resist the urge to kneel down, worship, and kowtow before it.

Most terrifyingly, the altar was splattered with blood of various colors—purple, black, red, silver… each exuding a chilling killing intent. The runes within remained indelible, still terrifying beyond measure.

Clearly, a fierce battle took place here.

Shi Yi moved forward, approaching the altar. Suddenly, with a loud "boom," as if the world had just begun to open and chaos was beginning to form, some scenes appeared before Shi Yi's eyes. He saw immortal beings and immortals fighting fiercely, and he saw some beings sinking into the bronze coffin. Nine dragons pulled the coffin, using the altar to break through the blockade and head towards the unknown world.
