This was of great significance to Shi Yi, as it meant he could receive the protection of Elder Meng Tianzheng.

Given the extreme risks of using the Reincarnation Disc, which could easily attract creatures from forbidden zones, a sufficiently powerful protector is undoubtedly the best guarantee for Shi Yi's rise to power.

Given Meng Tianzheng's formidable strength, even the most powerful and influential families wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Originally, Shi Yi hoped that his protectors would be the senior elders of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy. Unexpectedly, he received the kindness of the Grand Elder as soon as he arrived at the Heavenly God Academy. This was an unexpected joy.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder," Shi Yi said gratefully.

The elder, dressed in hemp robes, smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased. He hadn't seen a young man like Shi Yi in a long time. Seeing him was like seeing himself back then—young, passionate, ambitious, and fearless, trying to forge a path never before trodden, and aspiring to rival the heavens.

"Go, the road is treacherous, you must be fully prepared. Before merging, you must push both paths to their limits," the elder reminded him.

Since their paths were different, it was difficult for him to point out the way forward for Shi Yi. Although his level of understanding and vision were far superior to Shi Yi's, Meng Tianzheng did not interfere too much. Sometimes, excessive interference would have the opposite effect. The right approach was to let Shi Yi venture out on his own, while he would only provide protection and, when needed, answer some of Shi Yi's questions and provide some resources.

Apart from that, everything else had to be explored and created by Shi Yi himself.

Shi Yi nodded twice, bid farewell, and left the place with a pile of ancient books given to him by the Grand Elder.

He had just left the Grand Elder's residence and arrived at the sacred mountain where the formal disciples lived when he was blocked by some creatures.

"Are you Shi Yi from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces?" A tall, bull-headed, human-bodied creature strode over. It was from the Mighty Bull Demon Clan and had cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, which had already blossomed into the Flower of the Great Dao and advanced to the Heavenly God Realm. This was the source of its confidence in provoking Shi Yi. Currently, Shi Yi was at the Holy Sacrifice level, and its realm was one level lower than itss.

Of course, without the backing of a being that has cultivated three strands of immortal energy, it would be impossible for it to act in this way on its own.

Shi Yi did not respond, his eyes indifferent as he looked down at the bull demon and the other creatures.

"The Three Thousand Dao Provinces are so barren and weak. You've just arrived, yet you've already shown your brilliance so boldly, trying to monopolize the Phoenix Blood Pool opportunity in front of all other Daoists. You're truly audacious." Another being also pressed forward, also in the Celestial God Domain, having borne the Great Dao Flower.

"Hmph, even those most dazzling figures, the unparalleled geniuses from the immortal families, didn't have that opportunity. What makes you think you can? Just because you brought back a Qilin cub?" The third being pressed forward, its aura menacing.

"This is unfair!" The cultivators behind the three beings shouted, trying to suppress Shi Yi's two bodies with their collective power.

Faced with this situation, Shi Yishuang remained expressionless, his eyes calm and indifferent, as if he were looking at a group of clowns and ants.

"Bring your master here."

Taiyin Shiyi stood with his hands behind his back and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, the group of creatures all frowned. He was just a country bumpkin from the Three Thousand Continents who had gotten lucky and found the Qilin cub, thus gaining the opportunity to exclusively enjoy the Phoenix Blood Pool. Yet he was so arrogant.

"You're not qualified to see those people," the tall figure from the Mighty Bull Demon Clan said in a low voice.

"Heh, today we'll see what makes you, the number one person in the Three Thousand Provinces, so remarkable, and whether you're worthy of opening the Phoenix Blood Pool on your own," another person said with a sneer.

The others were also eager to make their move. They had come here to test the depth of Shi Yi's abilities, so naturally, they couldn't expect a peaceful ending.

In the eyes of those few prodigies who had cultivated three strands of immortal energy, no matter how heaven-defying Shi Yi was, he couldn't withstand the splitting of his origin into two. The power of his two clones would inevitably decline compared to his main body, and they could easily suppress him if they encountered him alone.

Next, the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy will inevitably explore the immortal caves and clash with each other. Finding out the details of Shi Yi's dual body in advance will be beneficial to them.

"You worthless ants?" Taiyin Shiyi sneered and shook his head.

Taiyang Shiyi, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and asked, "Shall we do it or should we?"

“I’ll do it. After all, some of my methods are already well-known,” Taiyin Shiyi replied.

Upon hearing this, Taiyang Shiyi nodded with a smile, not insisting on taking action; his time to act would come eventually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyin Shiyi moved, his right palm striking towards the powerful member of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan. It seemed slow but was actually fast, and in just a moment it arrived on the head of the Mighty Bull Demon, who had no time to react.

"what?"

The Mighty Bull Demon was shocked. What kind of speed was this? He couldn't even see it clearly.

It roared, a flower of the Great Dao bloomed on its head, and immense power burst forth, attempting to withstand the attack head-on.

However, when Taiyin Shiyi's palm fell, the Mighty Bull Demon realized the difference between the two sides. Its clan was known as "Mighty", but in the face of Taiyin Shiyi's terrifying power, it was nothing but a small fry compared to a big fish, and was destroyed like dry leaves.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, the Mighty Bull Demon, who had cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, advanced into the realm of celestial gods, and even formed a flower of the Great Dao from that immortal energy, was directly crushed by a single palm strike. His skull shattered into countless pieces, and his once-proud and powerful physique was now nothing but a puddle of mud, blood splattering everywhere, as he had already fainted.

If it weren't for the fact that these people were official disciples of the Heavenly God Academy, Shi Yi would have killed them long ago.

"This……"

The creatures nearby were dumbfounded. That was a celestial being who had cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, incomparably powerful. Even when he went all out, he was slapped half to death by Shi Yi. Moreover, Shi Yi did this without even using his immortal energy.

This shows just how vast the gap is between the two sides; this is only the power of a clone.

The two beings who had cultivated the Great Dao Flower and had provoked the Great Bull Demon earlier broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this. If it weren't for the three immortal beings behind them giving the order to attack with all their might, the two would have turned around and run away long ago.

Before they could react, Taiyin Shiyi's massive hand arrived again, shattering the void along its path. It was incredibly powerful and moved at an astonishing speed, making it unstoppable.

A creature spread its wings and displayed the Great Dao Flower on its head, revealing its full combat power in an attempt to dodge the attack. It was always confident in its speed, as it was originally a bird.

However, Shi Yi's large hand seemed to be everywhere, forming a huge net that descended from the sky, leaving no place to escape.

"how is this possible?"

It gasped in shock, its expression one of disbelief. Then, out of the corner of its eye, it caught sight of the owner of the large hand, and saw a pair of eyes as deep and dark as a demonic well.

Double pupils!

The legendary double pupils! No wonder it had nowhere to escape; no matter what it did, it would be caught by those double pupils, with no way to avoid it.

"what!"

The large hand descended, grabbing the creature as easily as catching a chick, and squeezed it hard.

In the end, it collapsed to the ground, just like the Mighty Bull Demon, and lost consciousness.

The third creature, its soul seemingly trembling with fear, ignored the instructions of the three immortal figures behind it and turned to leave. But with a loud "bang," it felt as if it had crashed into an invisible wall. Its expression changed drastically; the space around it had been inexplicably cut away by the Taiyin Stone, creating a box that trapped it inside.

"boom!"

This being erupted with all its might, even self-destructing its divine treasures, in an attempt to break through, but in the end, it only managed to create some cracks and could not shake the transparent wall at all.

Just as it was getting anxious, a hand had already silently reached its back.

"puff!"

An immense force swept over it like a tidal wave, nearly tearing the creature to pieces. Had Shi Yi not held back, it would have perished by now.

In just a few breaths, the three powerful celestial beings who had cultivated the Great Dao Flower were suppressed by Shi Yi and beaten half to death, lying in pools of blood like mud.

"Too weak." Taiyin Shiyi shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the other creatures trembled in fear, terrified by the power of Taiyin Shiyi.

He suppressed three celestial gods and three formal disciples with a mere gesture, without even using his immortal energy. This was simply unimaginable; perhaps only a few prodigies in the academy could accomplish such a feat.

Taiyin Shiyi was only half of a clone, while Taiyang Shiyi was watching the battle with a smile not far away.

"This...this is too terrifying. How come I feel like even one of his clones is comparable to those monstrous geniuses?"

"Impossible. They should be slightly weaker. After all, their origins are incomplete. Those few prodigies include heirs of immortal families and princesses of the immortal dynasty. Their foundations are beyond our imagination."

"Hiss, this is too incredible. I never thought there would be such a person in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces."

"Heh, only a few people are really good; the rest are no different from trash."

……

Taiyin Shiyi looked down at the three lumps of "mud" at his feet, not wasting time on them or their masters. He knew he would have to face them sooner or later, and the most urgent thing was to improve himself as quickly as possible.

He has no shortage of rare and precious materials, nor does he lack opportunities. There is no need for him to wait for others. With chaos approaching, this is the time for him to rise rapidly.

With that thought in mind, Taiyin Shiyi left without looking back, followed closely by Taiyang Shiyi.

Ignoring the discussions of the academy monks who followed them along the way, the two returned directly to their cave dwelling.

They built a pool using special materials. Then, Sunstone's eyes flashed, and he opened the portable chaotic mini-world he had created.

As soon as it was opened, a dazzling array of multicolored light burst forth, and the aura of various rare and precious materials permeated the air. Just smelling it made one feel comfortable all over, as if one's flesh and blood were about to evolve.

In the years since Taiyin Shiyi entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, Taiyang Shiyi has not been idle. With the help of the Reincarnation Disk, he has entered and exited various Immortal Ancient Ruins, obtained many great opportunities, and amassed a lot of rare and precious materials. Without the support of these good things, he could not have reached this point.

"This is……"

Taiyin Shiyi stared in astonishment at the very center of the Chaotic Small World, where a ball of blood, dazzling to the extreme, floated, causing his body to tremble involuntarily and a large number of divine patterns to appear between his brows.

"Diluted blood of the Stone King, hehe, I obtained it by chance. It was specially left to his descendants. This blood is the key for me to unlock the Qi and Blood Divine Treasury. With it, along with many other treasures, I was able to push the Blood Moving Realm to its current state."

"This remaining portion is enough to serve as a main ingredient, to concoct an amazing elixir that will help us reach even greater heights," Sun Stone said with a smile.

Taiyin Shiyi nodded. It seemed that Taiyang Shen had quite a bit of luck, even managing to obtain the blood of the Stone King Ancestor.

Beside the Stone King's Blood, several astonishing clumps of blood floated, each with a tremendous origin, like small suns.

The sun body explained that everything was made of immortal blood, which had already been refined to remove the killing intent and harmful substances inside, and could be used directly.

Besides immortal blood, there are many other great medicines that only exist in legends and have long since disappeared from the world.

"Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary herb; its effects are enough to drive everyone crazy. It can double the effect of a pool of medicinal liquid," Taiyang Shiyi said with great familiarity.

After browsing through the information, it became clear that Taiyang Shiyi's opportunities were no less than those of Taiyin Shiyi, who had entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. This made sense, as Taiyang Shiyi possessed the Triangular Reincarnation Disc, one corner of which held the power of immortality, enough to support him in entering many dangerous ruins. It would be difficult for him not to defy the heavens.

Then, the two began to set up, moving out the rare and precious materials from the chaotic small world to which Sun Stone belonged and throwing them into the pool. They then set up a magic array outside the pool to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine the spiritual essence of many immortal bloods.

"Roar!"

Roars echoed from the pool. As various immortal bloods converged in the pool, conflicts were bound to occur. At this moment, the pool was turbulent with wind and waves. Shi Yi sat at one end of the pool, controlling the great formation and refining the blood.

After an unknown amount of time, the pool finally calmed down, and an unparalleled aura of precious energy emanated from it, surrounded by ethereal mist, creating a sacred atmosphere.

Shi Yi and his companion exchanged a glance, then stepped into the pool without hesitation and sat down cross-legged.

The two simultaneously opened all the pores of their bodies and activated the Devouring Technique. Instantly, a pool of immortal liquid rapidly flowed into their bodies, beginning to cleanse their flesh and soul.

Taiyin Shiyi's second strand of immortal energy had only taken root in the Phoenix Blood Pool, but now, with the essence of the immortal pool flowing into his body, the stagnant process has started again.

"Buzz!"

The first flower of the Great Dao bloomed, becoming increasingly sacred and radiant. A blurry figure sat cross-legged on it, surrounded by fragments of time, as if living in the past.

The second wisp of immortal energy took root nearby, residing in the very center of the crown of the head, symbolizing the present world.

The boundless essence enters the immortal energy through the root system, giving birth to flower buds, which then bloom and bear the flower of the Great Dao. Finally, a slightly solidified figure appears, representing an invincible body in this world.

At this moment, Taiyin Shiyi's cultivation advanced greatly, and he was evolving and sublimating in every aspect.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, countless cracks appeared in the barrier between Shi Yi and the Celestial God Realm, as if he was about to advance into the Celestial God Realm at any moment.

Taiyin Shiyi's expression was solemn. He exerted all his strength to remain calm and did not break through the barrier. At this moment, if he wanted to, he could reach the level of a god with a single thought. However, for the sake of perfection, Taiyin Shiyi held back.

The more perfect one's progress in the Sacred Sacrifice Realm, the more astonishing the effect of accumulating strength and unleashing it after breaking through to the Celestial God Realm will be, perhaps even allowing one to soar to the heavens.
