The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils
Chapter 317 Journey to Hell
Taiyang Shiyi left the Hall of Worldly Dharma and came to the area specifically for practicing the Dharma of this world.
Here, the mountains rise and fall, waterfalls abound, and various mythical birds and auspicious beasts fly about, their abundant essence condensing into springs that gush forth. Furthermore, sacred and divine medicinal herbs are planted here, creating a magnificent and ever-changing landscape.
Looking around, you can see many figures in seclusion, either practicing cultivation or seeking enlightenment.
Sunstone has arrived and is about to cross this area to reach the residence of Elder Meng Tianzheng.
Suddenly, a figure blocked his way.
This was a man dressed in a gray robe, with a dignified bearing and immense power within him; he was no ordinary person.
Shi Yi stopped in his tracks. He had seen this man before. At that time, the elder asked everyone to choose between the current world method and the ancient immortal method. The gray-robed man had cultivated two strands of immortal energy, making him suitable for the ancient immortal method. However, in the end, he unexpectedly chose the current world method, showing great courage. This action left a very deep impression on everyone.
"Your name is Yuan Teng?"
Sunstone whispered.
"Yes."
Although this being's surname is Yuan, it has no relation to the Yuanqing clan; it was purely by chance.
"What is it that you need me for?" Taiyang Shiyi asked, having already learned the whole story through his Taiyang Double Pupil ability.
"Can I... follow you?" Yuan Teng asked with a hopeful look on his face.
His eyes held a hint of pilgrimage. Since choosing the Dharma of this world, he had come to understand more and more the difficulty of cultivating it. To transcend on this path was extremely difficult.
However, Shi Yi was able to transcend multiple realms, stand at the pinnacle, and look down on the past and present. A sense of awe arose spontaneously, which made Yuan Teng want to follow Shi Yi.
Shi Yi already knew Yuan Teng's purpose, and he shook his head without hesitation, directly refusing.
“Your future lies in the Holy Temple, not with me. If you follow me, you won’t live more than ten days. Becoming my follower will only harm you.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Teng was slightly taken aback.
Shi Yi ignored him and walked away. He had already learned about Yuan Qing's connections and influence in the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy from the Third Elder.
There's a reason this guy has such a big face. Back then, after he became an outcast of the Holy Academy, his master introduced him to the Immortal Academy, where he cultivated as compensation, but he left later.
In other words, he had acquaintances in both the Holy Academy and the Immortal Academy. Among them, the Holy Academy was the most prominent. Not to mention that Yuan Qing's master was an old monster, his senior brother had also become a big figure and served as an elder in the Holy Academy.
One can imagine what kind of targeting Shi Yi, this "remnant of the sinful race," would face after going to the Holy Academy.
But he had no choice but to go; the Holy Academy's present-day Dharma Hall was much larger than the one at the Heavenly God Academy, and it contained what he needed.
If a prodigy of Yuan Teng's caliber were to become his follower, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Taiyang Shiyi shook his head and quickly walked through the area. He followed the old path and arrived at the area where the Grand Elder lived.
This place is secluded and quiet, with some muddy ponds scattered around. The elder's thatched hut is built by the pond. On weekdays, he would sit cross-legged on a huge rock, motionless, and fish.
Shi Yi was very lucky; he saw the Grand Elder as soon as he entered the muddy area.
He walked over silently and stood beside the Grand Elder.
"coming."
The Grand Elder seemed to have known he would come and spoke softly.
Shi Yi nodded, his gaze fixed on the figure fishing on the boulder. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Grand Elder truly lived up to his reputation as a peerless genius who had almost succeeded by sacrificing himself for a seed. He simply sat there, like a pillar of stability, bringing peace of mind to everyone.
No matter how turbulent the outside world becomes, or how devastating it may be, as long as he is there, there is no need to panic.
Shi Yi thought for a moment and then casually uttered a piece of news that made even a figure like the Grand Elder tremble.
"Elder, I have obtained the Wang family's pacification technique."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder, who was calm and focused on fishing, jerked his fishing rod so hard he almost dropped it.
His facial expression changed, and he could no longer remain calm.
The reason is simple: this news is too shocking. The "Pacifying Chaos Technique" is the lifeblood of the Longevity Wang family. If anyone dares to covet such a supreme sword technique, the Wang family will fight them to the death.
Now, Shi Yi's words were astonishing, leaving the Grand Elder somewhat incredulous.
He stared into Shi Yi's eyes, unable to discern any hint that he was joking.
"How did you obtain it?" Meng Tianzheng asked.
"I got it from Wang Xi, from within the Immortal Battlefield," Shi Yi replied.
Meng Tianzheng nodded thoughtfully, without asking for details. He was very discreet and wouldn't pry into Shi Yi's secrets.
Before Meng Tianzheng could respond, Shi Yi extended his fingertip and condensed a jet-black sword-shaped rune, which was the complete technique for pacifying chaos. He then handed it over to the Grand Elder.
This was not a sudden, impulsive act by Shi Yi, but a decision made after careful consideration.
Regardless of the Elder's character or whether he is worth it, Shi Yi will need his help in the future, and may need the Elder's assistance in the future. Gifting him a supreme sword technique would be enough to offset these karmic consequences. Moreover, Shi Yi has other considerations. For example, if Shi Hao obtains the first four levels of the Undying Scripture in the future, he will definitely pass it on to the Elder, and Shi Yi can exchange it for the Calming Chaos Technique.
Anyway, Shi Yi isn't the only one in this world who knows the "Suppressing Chaos Technique"; there are a lot of people in the Wang family who do.
Meng Tianzheng was moved and did not refuse Shi Yi's offer. He reached out his palm and caught the dark sword embryo rune.
He suppressed the urge to explore immediately, looked at Shi Yi with a deep gaze, and said, "It's best not to use this kind of technique in front of others, otherwise it will cause big trouble."
Shi Yi nodded; he naturally understood this principle.
"You've given me this supreme sword technique, is it because you want something from me?" Meng Tianzheng asked.
"This disciple wishes to undergo the most brutal and profound training, and humbly requests the assistance of the Grand Elder," Taiyang Shiyi said. Meng Tianzheng nodded. He was not surprised by this answer; he could see that Taiyang Shiyi had reached a bottleneck and was finding it difficult to make significant breakthroughs in any aspect.
If one continues to cultivate step by step, reaching the last two major realms will not be a big problem. However, it will be almost impossible to achieve a substantial transformation and sublimation.
As someone at the forefront of Dharma practice in this world, he was naturally unwilling to accept this situation, which is why he came to the Grand Elder for help.
"Currently, if you want to make a major breakthrough, there are two methods: one is to seek external solutions, and the other is to seek internal solutions."
The best way to seek external help is to use extraordinary rare and precious materials for purification, such as the blood of a true dragon's heart, the blood of the ultimate power, and the essence of a phoenix's rebirth. These can all help you advance further. However, the chance of obtaining these things is zero. The Holy Academy does have them, but as far as I know, they have already been pre-determined and allocated. Even if I went there in person, I wouldn't be able to get a single drop.
At present, the only option is to look inward, to break through constraints and unlock the untapped potential within us through various trials and tribulations.
"However, this process is brutal," Meng Tianzheng said.
"Being unable to break through the shackles, that's the cruelest thing," Sun Stone murmured.
Meng Tianzheng nodded secretly. He was naturally willing to lend Shi Yi a hand. Even without the Anti-Chaos Technique, he was afraid that Shi Yi would not be able to withstand it and would hesitate. Now it seems that he was overthinking it.
"Your conditions are excellent in all aspects. You have already shown the potential to sweep through this realm since you first entered the Void Path. It is truly astonishing."
"It's a pity I'm no longer a god, so I can't accumulate more power," the elder said with a sigh.
If Shi Yi were in the Heavenly God Realm, then he could use the early-stage tempering methods of the Path of Using One's Body as a Seed to help Shi Yi improve. However, now that Shi Yi is a Void Dao Realm cultivator, many methods are no longer applicable, and he needs to find another way.
Taiyang Shiyi did not regret it. His ultimate leap was already perfect. It was done under the guidance of the Reincarnation Disc and with a pool of longevity elixir as a base, it would be difficult not to defy the heavens.
"By the way, Elder, in the future, if you wish to pass on the Suppression Technique to someone, I hope that they can exchange it for another supreme method that I do not possess," Shi Yi said.
Meng Tianzheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
He then told Shi Yi that he was about to take him on a real journey to hell, giving him three days to prepare. During this time, the Grand Elder would also be doing some preliminary work.
At this moment, Taiyang Shiyi took out an object, which was sealed in layers. At its core, strands of thin, eerie light intertwined and churned, shimmering with silvery light.
As soon as it was taken out, the temperature in the void dropped sharply, giving people a chilly feeling.
The Grand Elder once again showed surprise, his eyes filled with utmost solemnity.
"Could this be the legendary Immortal-Slaying Curse, which can completely sever even the cultivation of a true immortal, causing them to fall to the mortal realm, a truly terrifying curse?"
"The Grand Elder is absolutely right. This is indeed the Immortal-Breaking Curse, but it is no longer at its peak, and its power has decreased considerably compared to its prime," Shi Yi nodded and said.
"You even have something like this..." The elder was quite surprised.
"It is the very Immortal-Breaking Curse that killed the Ten Fiends Kunpeng back then. I extracted it from the Kunpeng's remains in the Kunpeng's nest in the lower realm," Shi Yi said succinctly.
Upon hearing this, Meng Tianzheng's eyes flashed with intense light. Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends, was actually killed by the Curse of the Immortal.
Then, Shi Yi told him that he wanted to test the power of this weakened Immortal-Breaking Curse.
“The risk is too great. Even though it has been weakened, it is still dangerous and potentially fatal.” Meng Tianzheng shook his head.
Seeing Shi Yi's eagerness, he could only sigh and say, "Alright, then we'll wait until after the training is over."
Afterwards, Taiyang Shiyi took his leave and left the muddy pond. After watching Shiyi leave, the Grand Elder turned his attention to the black sword embryo runes on his fingertips.
"As expected of the Suppression Technique!"
After a long while, the Grand Elder uttered this remark.
Sun Stone left the Grand Elder's residence and returned to his own cave. Three days later, he would follow the Grand Elder on a terrifying journey to hell.
Time was of the essence, and he hoped to improve his strength as much as possible before entering the Holy Academy, break through to a higher level, and attract the attention of the old monsters of the Holy Academy. As long as he could find a powerful backer, what did Yuan Qing's difficulties matter?
Given Shi Yi's cultivation speed, it won't be long before he catches up.
Suddenly, the heavy stone door was pushed open, and a figure stepped in—it was Taiyin Shiyi.
He spent only a month learning all the millions of ancient immortal characters on Baiyu Mountain. He also used the Meridian Cleansing Pill to refine his physical body, becoming more ethereal and close to immortal. His cultivation level also reached the peak of the Heavenly God realm. There was no point in staying there any longer. After obtaining permission from the Fourth Elder, he left that ancient immortal ruin and returned to his cave.
The two smiled at each other, sat cross-legged facing each other, and each recounted their experiences over the past month.
As they talked, Taiyin and Taiyang got to the topic of creating laws.
They each had their own understanding. In the mind of the Sun Body, a concept had already taken root: "holistic evolution." He shared his thoughts with the Moon Body, hoping to spark a new idea and create a flawless cultivation system.
Taiyin Shiyi's idea was to make a fuss about the forbidden sea of suffering. When he transformed, his essence and spirit transformed into the future Dao Flower and saw the outline in the mist. That might be the so-called other shore. He had a feeling that if he could reach the other shore, he would be incredibly powerful.
"This does not contradict what I mean by overall evolution. Through repeated metamorphosis, transformation, and transcendence, we can eventually cross the sea of suffering and reach the other shore," Sun Stone said.
“I always feel like something is missing. The anchor formed from the primordial energy seems to be blocking the future Dao Flower’s journey, but in reality, it’s helping me. With my current conditions, I can’t possibly cross the Sea of Bitterness. That sea is much more dangerous than I imagined,” Taiyin Shiyi said thoughtfully.
"It's best not to rush into it before we become one."
Taiyin Shiyi nodded. He thought so too. He cultivated three strands of immortal energy, allowing them to bloom into flowers of the Great Dao, and also cultivated three blurry figures. This made the essence, energy, and spirit incarnation in the Forbidden Sea of Bitterness and the future Dao Flower ship hull even more solid, but it was far from meeting the conditions for setting sail.
At the very least, the Yin and Yang must be in harmony before we can begin to try.
Taiyin Shiyi had a premonition that this day was not far off. The two had discussed the matter of merging and unifying, and agreed that it should be done at the Escape One Realm.
Afterwards, the Sun Body inquired about the Moon Body's next cultivation plan, suggesting that perhaps the two bodies could go together to Meng Tianzheng for hellish training.
"Forget it, I want to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the Immortal Ancient Method System before fusing with the Dao Seed. Since I have chosen this path, I should cultivate it to its peak." Taiyin Shen shook his head.
If he chooses the path of using his body as a seed, then going to the Grand Elder for tempering would be the best option. However, now that the Taiyin Body is not taking this path, but rather the path of fusing with the perfect seed, the benefits of understanding the ancient immortal methods are greater.
It should be noted that at this moment, the Taiyin Body has only just memorized millions of ancient immortal characters, and is far from being proficient. It has not yet grasped the essence. In the part of Baiyu Mountain that was cut off, the 108 ancient characters can encompass all the laws of the heavens, which is extremely astonishing. Compared to that, the Taiyin Body is still far behind.
