The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

If these spatial rifts weren't inanimate and lifeless, Shi Yi would have suspected they were living fish, far more agile than he had imagined. Moreover, their trajectories were difficult to predict, requiring immense speed and unimaginable insight to dodge them.

Shi Yi's dual body is the epitome of this; at the very least, at his level, he can stand out from the crowd.

With the power of his double pupils, he could always sense the approach of danger one step ahead and then calmly dodge. The Kunpeng's extreme speed, combined with his understanding of the Great Dao of Time, made Shi Yi's two bodies' escape speed reach its limit.

Passing through the thick fog and crossing the dense, floating spatial rifts, Shi Yi's two bodies arrived deep in the canyon.

Having reached this point, Shi Yi's strength alone was no longer sufficient to advance further; he needed to rely on external objects or forces.

In the void ahead, countless cracks stretched across the sky, a terrifying sight. Through the double pupils, one could see the spatial storms blowing within, a truly horrifying spectacle.

Taiyin Shiyi took out the Taiji Diagram, activated the treasure to protect his two bodies, and began to cross this place.

"when!"

"when!"

……

Dense gales battered the protective shield erected by the Tai Chi diagram, giving it a sense of imminent collapse.

Fortunately, this is a treasure, and it is not so easy to break.

Just when Shi Yi thought the crisis had passed and everything was going smoothly, suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, his hair stood on end, and his soul was filled with dread, as if he were being stared at by some prehistoric beast.

The two activated their double pupils and looked toward the source of this feeling. They saw an ancient beast floating in the void rift. Its body was covered with ferocious bone spikes, and its eyes were huge and blood-red, like two blood moons floating there.

"This is……"

Shi Yi's face showed horror as he recalled the warnings from the two elders. Back then, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy had ventured deep into this place and witnessed firsthand the lake formed by the convergence of spatial power.

At that time, he was already a supreme being, but he encountered a powerful innate god-demon in the spatial rift. It was born from chaos and had great spatial abilities. It liked the environment in the void rift the most, so it lived here.

When two powerful forces meet, conflict and strife are inevitable. In that battle, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy used all his strength to get rid of the entanglement of the Innate Demon God. He was seriously injured and almost died there.

Now, Shi Yi's two bodies have also encountered this terrifying innate god-demon.

The other party's gaze was so cold that it seemed to freeze the void. Even from a great distance, Shi Yi's body could not withstand it, and his primordial spirit trembled.

"boom!"

A fierce gust of wind exploded, and the colossal beast, larger than a star, vanished in the blink of an eye, only to reappear almost upon them.

At the critical moment, the Reincarnation Disc unleashed its power, activating the Taiji Diagram and unleashing wisps of celestial light, startling away the innate gods and demons who were about to attack.

Its cultivation is indeed terrifying, but it still has to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of immortal power.

The next moment, the Tai Chi diagram rotated, carrying Shi Yi's two bodies as they broke through the air and crossed the sky at high speed.

"I can't go all out. Strictly speaking, this place belongs to the Boundless Heaven. If I go too far, the creatures in the forbidden area might sense it. I'll just scare them away," the Samsara Disc said.

Shi Yi nodded.

They flew at breakneck speed, passing through a terrifying spatial rift, and successfully found the lake following the clues given by the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy.

It was quiet and silent here, completely different from the spatial rift area we had just passed through. It felt like a vast world, with towering ancient trees and magnificent ancient mountains...

When Shi Yi arrived, he looked at every blade of grass and every tree in the place with a look of shock in his eyes, because these things were all transformed by the power of space. Each thing had its own unique secrets, and even a speck of dust was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

At that moment, he couldn't help but recall a saying: "A grain of sand contains a world, a leaf contains a Bodhi tree."

Walking in such an area requires extreme caution with every step, as a single misstep could trigger the terrifying spatial avenue, leading to utter destruction.

The Wheel of Reincarnation scattered its clear light, enveloping Shi Yi and his companion, protecting them both.

He traversed mountains and forests, following a mottled cobblestone path, until he arrived deep within this world and found the spatial lake that the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy had spoken of.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary lake with clear water, but you can't see the bottom; it's very deep.

However, through the double pupils of the moon and sun, every drop of water in this lake is extremely terrifying, concealing a world with astonishing spatial power.

In a sense, these lakes and border seas are similar in nature, but they are not on the same level.

"This lake is quite nice. I've seen the Cosmic Lake before, where a single drop of water is comparable to a star. This lake is a level above the Cosmic Lake," the Samsara Disc murmured.

"This is the place. Let's not delay, let's begin," Taiyin Shiyi said.

Taiyang Shiyi nodded.

The two sat cross-legged by the lake and first used the Samsara Disc to check if the lake was safe.

Having just encountered a primordial god and demon, they had to be more cautious. What if some terrifying creature was lurking beneath the seemingly calm lake? That would be disastrous.

You should know that when Shi Yi was refining his two bodies into their respective ten grotto-heavens, he had to sink all ten grotto-heavens into the lake. If some mysterious creature were to swallow all twenty grotto-heavens of his two bodies in one gulp, then all would be lost.

After a thorough inspection, the Reincarnation Disc confirmed the safety of the place. Subsequently, Shi Yi's two bodies revealed their respective Ten Great Grotto-Heavens.

At this moment, their grotto-heaven, having undergone the burning and tempering of the power of time, is no longer what it used to be. It is now incredibly powerful, scattered with fragments of time, making it appear extremely mysterious.

Twenty enormous caverns slowly descended, approaching the waters of the spatial lake.

The moment he touched it, a terrifying scene unfolded. The once calm lake water began to bubble, as if it were boiling. Shi Yi felt as if his inner world had suffered an unimaginable blow, and a chilling cracking sound emanated from it, almost causing it to shatter into pieces.

Each drop of lake water resembled a vast, boundless sky, placing the cave within it. It had to endure the friction and crushing force of these skies at all times. If Shi Yi hadn't spent three years forging his body with the universe as a furnace and the years as fire, his cave would have been blasted to smithereens in that instant.

"This lake is terrifying." Taiyin Shiyi coughed up blood and couldn't help but sigh.

Taiyang Shiyi deeply agrees.

“Everything has two sides. The more terrifying it is, the better the tempering effect. Now, time is of the essence, and this spatial lake is just right for you. Anyway, there are countless good things in your chaotic small world. You can use them to quickly restore your vitality without fear of getting injured,” the Reincarnation Disc said.

Shuang Shen nodded. Indeed, time was of the essence, and they had to finish forging the beacon as soon as possible.

The two used the True Phoenix Technique to slightly repair their internal injuries, and then tried again. "Rumble!"

A terrifying sound came from the lake, followed by the sound of the cave opening.

Although the cave heavens of Shi Yi's two bodies are external entities, they are closely connected to their main bodies. Naturally, such a heavy blow will affect them, hence, they both have considerable injuries.

However, compared to before, they were better prepared this time and clearly lasted longer.

"Buzz!"

The two large medicinal herbs were taken out, and the two of them used their Devouring Treasure Techniques in conjunction with the True Phoenix Treasure Technique to quickly repair their own injuries and the cracks above the cave. After doing all this, they continued to try.

Originally, Shi Yi's accumulated resources could not withstand the consumption of the bastard seed. However, the immortal medicine garden left by Emperor Guangyin contained countless sacred soils and great medicines, which were like a timely rain, filling his chaotic little world and giving Shi Yi enough confidence.

Thus, he spent his time refining his cave and healing his injuries, making repeated attempts, each time deepening his cave until it sank completely beneath the lake's surface, and each attempt lasting longer than the last.

Once you've adapted to the depth beneath the lake's surface, continue descending. The deeper you go, the greater the pressure, but the better the tempering effect on the grotto.

During this period, Shi Yi frequently took powerful medicines to replenish his vital energy and repair his internal injuries, without stopping for a moment.

With each attempt, he made visible progress.

His grotto-heaven became increasingly solid, filled with the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time, mysterious to the extreme, unfathomable, even the Wheel of Reincarnation couldn't help but admire it.

At the Cave Heaven Realm, Shi Yi's two bodies are approaching their ultimate limit. This path is contrary to Shi Hao's unique Cave Heaven Realm, but both have immeasurable potential.

Time flies, and five months have passed in the blink of an eye. According to the schedule, the Qilin Immortal Mansion will be opened soon.

Before the spatial lake, Shi Yi's body trembled slightly as he made his final sprint.

They spent five months refining the cave, enabling it to sink below the lake's surface and continue to deepen.

Now, we are finally close to the bottom of the lake.

With a muffled sound, twenty caves lay horizontally at the bottom of the space lake. Shi Yi's body remained unmoved, no longer suffering the severe injuries he had before.

"I finally completed this stage of cultivation before the Qilin Immortal Mansion opened," Taiyin Shiyi said thankfully.

If he cannot reach the bottom and leaves before achieving his goal, he will surely come back to this place again.

"Hmm, judging by the time, you should return to the Heavenly God Academy, and I should also begin to reshape my grotto-heaven. What kind of heaven-defying effects will the True Dragon Marrow have? It's truly something to look forward to." Sun Stone nodded.

"boom!"

Ripples spread across the spatial lake, from which twenty indestructible grottoes burst forth and returned to their heads.

Now, the cave has been tempered and refined, and is now solid and indestructible, perfectly suited as a weapon to roam freely.

"It looks alright, but this is only a rough draft and needs a lot of polishing," the Wheel of Reincarnation said.

Afterwards, the two got up and returned the way they came. Passing through numerous spatial rifts, they arrived back at the area where they had encountered the innate gods and demons.

That cold gaze reappeared, and two blood moons emerged, coldly watching Shi Yi's body across endless space. This time, it did not make any dangerous moves, wary of the immortal power on the Reincarnation Disc.

After successfully crossing this place, the rest of the journey was much easier. Soon, the two walked out of the canyon and saw the two elders sitting cross-legged at the entrance from a distance.

"Out."

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy stood up and went to greet him.

At this moment, his state was completely opposite to that of Shi Yi when they entered the spatial secret realm. He was not old at all, but incredibly young. Standing with the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy, he seemed to be a young prodigy born in this world.

After briefly inquiring about Shi Yi's experiences in the secret realm, the two elders each led their disciples and parted ways.

One must travel to the Heavenly God Academy, enter the Qilin Immortal Mansion, and obtain the opportunity that is rightfully theirs; the other must choose a location and utilize the Holy Academy's foundation—the True Dragon Marrow—to reshape the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens.

They agreed to meet again at the peak of their cultivation. At that time, they would risk their lives to become one, break through to the Escape Realm, and create their own system—"Ascension." This was an unimaginable hurdle. If they crossed it, the world would be vast; if they couldn't, everything would be in vain.

"Let's go. The Heavenly God Academy isn't far from here; we should make it in time," the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy whispered.

The next moment, he reached out and grabbed Taiyin Shiyi's shoulder, casually tearing through space and traversing the void.

The light and shadow shifted, the gale howled, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy was moving too fast, as if he wanted to leave time and years behind?
Having regained his peak years, he is far stronger than before, incomparable. In the past, he had to cherish his limited blood essence and be cautious every time he made a big move. Now, he no longer needs to do so and can act recklessly.

"Stab!"

The void was torn apart like a rag, and in the blink of an eye, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy brought Shi Yi to the front of the Heavenly God Academy.

"Let's go find Xiao Meng first. Didn't you say you left him a Time Fruit?"
"Xiao Meng is a rare genius. Back then, he almost succeeded on that unprecedented path. With his strength and talent, he will surely go even further with this Time Fruit," the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy said.

Shi Yi did not refuse, but he felt that Meng Tianzheng was very likely not there.

The two stepped into the Heavenly God Academy. The atmosphere here was noticeably different. Many beings from the other two academies had come, all for the place where the Great Elder fished—the immortal abode beneath that mud pond.

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy glanced around; the muddy pond hadn't been opened yet, but it would soon.

"Huh? Xiao Meng isn't here."

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy tried to sense Meng Tianzheng's aura but failed to detect it.

Taiyin Shiyi thought to himself, "As expected." If nothing unexpected happened, Meng Tianzheng should still be in that Emperor's cave, which is a fire cave.

He unearthed the Kunpeng King from two eras ago, who was on the verge of extinction, barely clinging to life. Meng Tiantian then sealed him in a ring, making it a backup plan for Shi Hao.

"He must have gone out on business. He'll be back soon. Go to the entrance of the Qilin Immortal Abode and wait for it to open," said the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy.

Shi Yi nodded. Before leaving, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy gave him a jade tablet containing one of his avatars. If crushed in a crisis, it could save Shi Yi's life. The Grand Elder knew that the Reincarnation Disc in Shi Yi's hand could not be used recklessly and had many restrictions. He was going back to the Immortal Academy to handle the matter of the unification of the three academies, which was something he had discussed with the other two Grand Elders a long time ago.

Taiyin Shiyi accepted the jade token and put it away. Then he watched the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy leave. After experiencing the turmoil of the Changsheng Wang family and the Feng family, no one dared to touch him and Shi Hao now. Anyone who dared to make a move would have to face the heaviest wrath of the three Grand Elders.

He turned and headed towards the muddy pond where Meng Tianzheng was fishing. The pond was now bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of people. (End of Chapter)
