The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Chapter 299: Flower of the Avenue
Seeing that the Grand Elder agreed to the matter, the other elders nodded and smiled at Shi Yi.

The Third Elder, who brought Shi Yi over, suddenly spoke up: "Opening the Phoenix Blood Pool for you alone, allowing you to be the first to absorb the essence of the Phoenix Blood and enjoy this great fortune, will likely cause dissatisfaction among many disciples."

Among them are many astonishing figures who have cultivated three strands of immortal energy, and many are backed by longevity families with boundless and profound resources.

Shi Yi understood the meaning behind the Third Elder's words, and he calmly replied, "In a world of great strife, how can there be peace? Advancing bravely against the current is the only true path."

“Very good. Since you have this awareness, we don’t need to say anything more.” The Third Elder nodded.

Afterwards, Shi Yi bid farewell and left the place.

As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, an old man came forward and called out to them. This was a powerful figure at the level of a sect leader, who had come specifically to wait for them and was responsible for showing Shi Yi the various rules of the academy and helping him find his own cave dwelling.

Shi Yi readily accepted this offer and followed behind the old man, listening to his explanations.

Finally, the old man led Shi Yi's two bodies to the disciple's cave area.

"There are many sacred mountains here, and every formal disciple can choose one to build their cave dwelling," the old man said, pointing ahead.

Shi Yi looked in the direction he was pointing and saw towering sacred mountains standing amidst the clouds and mist, cascading waterfalls, auspicious birds and beasts, and the Medicine King everywhere...

Without a doubt, the Heavenly God Academy is a sacred place for cultivation, where the concentration of vital energy in the void far surpasses that of other places.

Shi Yi didn't dwell too much on the matter of the cave dwelling. He simply glanced at it with his double pupils, randomly picked one that looked pleasing to the eye, and then bid farewell to the old man before flying alone to his sacred mountain.

He left his mark on this sacred mountain, set up some magic arrays, and then used his finger as a sword to carve out a cave.

Then, both of them entered and sat cross-legged facing each other.

"An era of great contention..." Taiyin Shiyi murmured to himself, his true rise only beginning today.

"With the Phoenix Blood Pool opportunity in two days, we'll be able to advance to the next level. Add to that the ginseng fruit and various powerful medicines in your Chaos Small World, as well as the rare and precious materials in my Chaos Small World, and it won't be long before we can advance to the Heavenly God realm," Sun Stone said.

“Well, let’s see how effective the Phoenix Blood Pool is first. This is the first great opportunity since the founding of the Heavenly God Academy, and it shouldn’t disappoint. We already cultivate the True Phoenix Technique, so we will definitely be able to undergo a qualitative transformation with the help of the Phoenix Blood.” Taiyin Shiyi nodded.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the newly arrived formal disciples have become familiar with the various aspects of the academy, while the earlier disciples are selecting servants and followers, while also waiting for the legendary Phoenix Blood Pool to open. It is a great opportunity that they have been looking forward to for a long time, and they are just waiting for the academy elders to make their decision.

For the formal disciples, and even the core disciples, servants and followers are quite important. They can help them gather resources and handle all sorts of things, essentially serving as free labor. Sometimes, if they are lucky, they can even get powerful cultivators to assist them.

However, for someone like Shi Yi, there was no need for servants or followers, so he didn't pay attention to such matters. At this moment, he was waiting for the elder's summons, and judging by the time, the elder should be arriving soon.

Just as he was pondering, an old voice rang in his ear, which surprised Shi Yi.

The First Elder, Meng Tianzheng, actually came to summon him personally; he had originally thought it would be the Third Elder or the Fifth Elder.

“Let’s go. This pool of phoenix blood is the greatest asset of the Heavenly God Academy. Not only is the quality amazing, but the quantity is also considerable. Even if all the formal disciples of the academy come together to share it, they will not leave empty-handed,” Meng Tianzheng said as they walked.

Shi Yi nodded, thinking to himself that the foundation of his two clones was too strong. The fact that Taiyin Shi Yi fought against four opponents on the Immortal Ancient Arena was enough to show that the stronger the foundation, the more terrifying the resources required for transformation. Opening up his two clones alone would be an enormous drain on the Phoenix Blood Pool.

I wonder how much of the Phoenix Blood Pool will be left after I complete my transformation.

While Shi Yi was pondering, he had already followed the Grand Elder to a forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly God Academy. This place was guarded by many passes, and only the elders had the authority to enter.

With the Grand Elder leading the way, they encountered no obstacles throughout the process and successfully entered the forbidden area.

Pushing open the incredibly heavy stone door, what came into view was blinding gold, and a terrifying heat wave rushed in, as if the void itself was on fire, and the cry of the true phoenix resounded throughout the heavens.

Both of Shi Yi's two divine rings in the cave heavens sensed the presence of the phoenix blood and couldn't help but let out a long cry.

The Grand Elder seemed to sense something and turned his head to glance at Shi Yi's body.

“You possess the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, so this Phoenix Blood Pool is a good fit for you. Once inside, you don’t need to worry about anything; just focus on yourself,” Meng Tianzheng said.

Shi Yi nodded gratefully. With the Elder's words, his two clones could now devour the Phoenix Blood Essence without restraint until they reached perfection.

"Thank you, Great Elder."

"Go ahead." Meng Tianzheng nodded gently.

Under Meng Tianzheng's watchful gaze, Shi Yi walked side by side toward the secret chamber burning with the flames of the True Phoenix.

"Boom!"

The stone door closed, and Shi Yi's body was completely exposed to terrifying high temperatures.

In the vision of the double pupils, a huge ruler, three zhang square, was embedded in the earth, filled with a pool of precious liquid, displaying five colors, steaming and swirling, with immortal energy forming clouds, a scene of holiness.

The divine essence contained within is as vast and boundless as a boundless ocean, with bubbles constantly rising and transforming into colorful phoenixes that soar through the void.

There were several of them around Shi Yi's twin bodies. If the elders of the Heavenly God Academy hadn't refined the killing intent and harmful substances in them beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to get close at all.

Now, the remaining essence in the Phoenix Blood is extremely beneficial to cultivators, enough to trigger an amazing transformation.

Shi Yi and his companion exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and stepped into the Phoenix Blood Pool.

The churning, five-colored liquid spewed out wisps of celestial energy; such phoenix blood was simply unimaginable.

Shi Yi stepped into the Phoenix Blood Pool, sat down cross-legged, and began to cleanse himself with the Phoenix Blood. From the very beginning, he felt his pores open, his whole body feel relaxed and comfortable, an indescribable sense of ease. He felt every inch of his flesh and blood vibrating and evolving. "Boom!"

A booming sound erupted from Taiyin Shiyi's body. As a Saintly Sacrifice Realm cultivator, he felt as if he was about to step into the realm of the Gods.

Once he enters the realm of gods, he will be the absolute king among the gods.

However, he suppressed this excitement, because it was not the right time yet. He planned to solidify the foundation of the God-King and complete the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top before the Heavenly Gods.

As he absorbed the Phoenix Blood, the fluctuations on Taiyin Shiyi's body became increasingly intense. A large amount of Phoenix Blood essence helped him to cleanse his physical body and soul, undergoing a fierce evolution. The three strands of immortal energy circulating around his body trembled slightly, pulled by some great force, and rushed towards the top of his head.

It's like three seeds planted in the void, waiting only for "watering and fertilizing" to grow, blossom, and bear fruit.

Taiyin Shiyi no longer held back, using the True Phoenix Treasure Technique to absorb the essence of the phoenix blood to the maximum extent. The five-colored liquid churned and rapidly surged into his body. Under his relentless assault, a wisp of immortal energy trembled slightly and underwent an astonishing transformation, directly taking root on the top of Shiyi's head, forming a flower bud, and then blooming into a flower of the Great Dao.

Furthermore, a hazy, indistinct figure sat cross-legged atop the Flower of the Great Dao, appearing and disappearing as if living in the past.

At this moment, Taiyin Shiyi's blood, magic power, and primordial spirit all surged, reaching an incredible level.

He successfully condensed a flower of the Great Dao, completing an astonishing transformation.

Subsequently, Taiyin Shiyi drew upon the essence of the phoenix blood to attempt to create a second flower. Unfortunately, after only managing to establish it, it made little further progress.

He sighed, knowing that the Phoenix Blood was no longer of much use to him, as he had developed resistance to it.

On the other side, Sun Stone also reaped huge rewards. Bathed in the Phoenix Blood, the True Phoenix Mark flickered and gradually deepened on every inch of his flesh and blood that formed the sacred furnace, becoming lifelike. His blood and qi power advanced further, once again surpassing its limit.

On the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven, the spirit body transformed from the original symbol of the True Phoenix became increasingly agile, as if the True Phoenix had been reborn.

Whether it was the Spirit Transformation Realm or the Inscription Realm, Sun Stone Yi gained tremendous benefits, and he went deeper into the path of worldly law.

The resources required for this path are terrifying; every small step requires an unimaginable amount of rare and precious materials.

If the Phoenix Blood Essence here were insufficient, Sun Stone Yi wouldn't have had such a great harvest. Fortunately, the Heavenly God Academy was wealthy and generous, and filled a three-zhang square pool to the brim.

Soon after, the two clones completed their transformations, and the scene there returned to calm. Compared to when they first entered, the five-colored phoenix blood in the Phoenix Blood Pool had decreased by more than a third, almost half.

Originally a great opportunity prepared for all formal disciples, Shi Yi has now used up nearly half of it by himself. If the other disciples knew, they would be heartbroken and furious, because it means that they will receive half the Phoenix Blood.

With everyone watching, it was impossible to hide the fact that Shi Yi had bathed in the Phoenix Blood Pool in advance. The moment he entered the Phoenix Blood Pool, it was already known to the outside world.

Taiyin Shiyi and Taiyang Shiyi got up one after the other and stepped out of the pool. The two looked back down at the Phoenix Blood Pool and felt a little ashamed after seeing the proportion they had devoured. They were indeed bottomless pits. They could only say that the other disciples of the Heavenly God Academy were not so lucky.

The transformation and evolution took a whole day. Elder Meng Tianzheng waited behind the door. When he saw that Shi Yi's two bodies had finished their transformation, he pushed open the stone door and led Shi Yi's two bodies out.

Meng Tianzheng remained silent, while Shi Yi followed quietly behind him. They passed through the forbidden area of ​​the academy and arrived at a scenic spot with clear waters and lush mountains. Ahead, there were some fishponds and marshes. The thatched hut where the Grand Elder usually lived was nearby, and he often fished there.

Shi Yi's eyes flickered as he glanced at the largest fishpond. If he wasn't mistaken, the immortal cave below the Heavenly God Academy was located beneath the fishpond, a celestial palace left behind by the Heavenly Horned Ant and the Qilin.

There is a special opportunity within him. After agreeing to teach the White Qilin using the ancient immortal treasure, the treasure left a token inside him, which he can use to enter the Qilin Immortal Palace and obtain a great opportunity.

The harvest time will come soon. The immortal palace left behind by one of the Ten Fiends will surely be beyond imagination.

While Shi Yi was pondering, the Grand Elder had already arrived at the fishpond, his hempen robes fluttering. He sat down directly, cast his line, and started fishing.

Only then did he speak.

"The Taiyin body cultivates the ancient methods of immortality, while the Taiyang body cultivates the methods of this world. At some point in the future, they will surely merge. You must have grand ambitions," Meng Tianzheng said calmly, wanting to hear Shi Yi's thoughts on his future path.

"Elder, you are wise. The reason why I separated into two bodies, Yin and Yang, and cultivated both the ancient and modern methods of immortality, is so that I can create my own cultivation system when we merge in the future."

Shi Yi didn't hide anything and directly stated his ambitions. Elder Meng Tianzheng was trustworthy and there was no need to be wary or secretive.

After listening to Shi Yi's words, the usually calm and collected elder was immediately moved. He could see that Shi Yi's achievements were extraordinary, even surpassing those of the descendants of the immortal families in the Nine Heavens. However, none of that mattered. The most important thing was whether he could forge a new path and create a completely new system. Only in this way could he go further, avoid being controlled by the alien realm, and become a variable.

Now, having heard Shi Yi's ambitions with his own ears, the Grand Elder felt a surge of satisfaction. He had always greatly admired cultivators who were determined to create a completely new system.

"Very good. You have explored both paths to great depth. If you can reach their ultimate potential, when your two bodies merge, the collision of the two systems will have a high chance of creating a completely new path. However, this path is extremely dangerous. Throughout history, countless peerless geniuses have fallen on this path," the Grand Elder said with emotion.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." Shi Yi responded in this way, expressing his attitude: he was determined to go all the way down this path.

Seeing his determination, the Grand Elder nodded inwardly. Without an indomitable spirit, success would have been impossible.

“Unfortunately, my path is not suitable for you,” he said with a sigh.

Using one's own body as a seed is, to some extent, a variation of the ancient immortal methods. The concept has changed, shifting from seeking from the vast universe to seeking within oneself.

Shi Yi's path is no less dangerous than using his own body as a seed, and may even be more so. You must know that when the two bodies merge, the two systems will also meet and have a tremendous collision. At that time, will he successfully merge and create a new system, or will he fail and die without a burial place?
Based on the Elder's experience, the latter method has a very high probability of success, but the chance of success is extremely small, so small that it is despairing. After all, this method is very ruthless and not gradual. Even if he succeeds by chance, Shi Yi will probably be severely injured.

"Since you have such aspirations, then we are kindred spirits. Take these ancient books and read them often to learn from the experiences of our predecessors. Perhaps they will be helpful for your future path."

"If you have any other needs, feel free to come here to find me." Meng Tianzheng said softly. Although his words were light, they carried great weight in Shi Yi's ears. This was a promise from a supreme being, and it carried immense weight.
