The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Shi Yi traversed this vast and boundless land. In the distance, the World Tree stood majestic and magnificent, blocking out the sun. It could be seen even from an endless distance, and even the bark could be clearly seen, as ancient and weathered as a coiled dragon.

It was truly lush, with countless leaves, each leaf supporting a star, filled with a chaotic aura, and from afar it looked like a giant umbrella.

The direction in which the tree trunks and branches droop, the laws of the Great Dao flow down like a vast ocean, resembling a celestial waterfall. The scene is sacred and awe-inspiring. Wherever it is blessed, extraordinary geniuses are born and then rise rapidly.

Often, immortal beings sit cross-legged under the tree, listening to the sounds of Tao emanating from the World Tree. The World Tree's companion species also flutter among the branches and leaves, full of vitality and thriving.

The entire Dao principles of this alien realm were meticulously organized by this World Tree.

In addition, the flawless avenue, magnificent rivers and mountains, ancient royal city ruins, immortal soil... all demonstrate the transcendence of this ancient realm.

Walking in such a vast world, Shi Yi had an indescribable feeling. He wondered what a prosperous scene it would have been like before the Primordial Ancient World was invaded.
In that ancient world, there was also a World Tree, a Jianmu tree, as vigorous as a dragon, with a majestic aura, piercing through the Thirty-Three Heavens. True dragons and true phoenixes built their nests on it. In the Thirty-Three Heavens, there were numerous heavenly palaces, jade towers and pavilions, and everywhere was a pure land of immortality, exchanging things with the homeland of immortals... True immortals descended to the mortal world, and immortal kings blessed all living beings.

Unfortunately, such a magnificent scene is forever frozen in the long river of time. The torrent of history rolls on, and no one can stop the trend or change what has already happened.

After leaving the ancient ruins of the Immortal King, Shi Yi finally saw human habitation. He saw many powerful tribes and witnessed the unique plants, races, and landscapes of this exotic land.

The magnificent rivers and mountains, the grand historical sites, the strong and martial folk customs, and the extremely glorious imperial and royal families all inspire awe.

Shi Yi set aside his hostility and examined this realm with an emotionless gaze.

Unlike the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which are plagued by internal strife and are in terrible decline, the foreign lands are united, prosperous, and in a virtuous cycle.

In this realm, beings frequently attain the Dao of Supreme Beings or Immortals. Each being who attains the Dao of Supreme Beings or Immortals can bless a large clan. The blessings from heaven and earth brought about by their breakthroughs can nurture a large number of prodigies. These prodigies then rise rapidly, bringing even more prosperity, and the cycle repeats itself.

This foreign land is martial and has a strict hierarchical system. For the creatures here, strength and talent are everything. As long as you are talented enough and strong enough, it doesn't matter if you come from a lowly or humble race. You can still become a guest of honor and be respected and admired by countless people.

They also place great importance on nurturing the younger generation, regarding young beings as the future of this land. Often, the immortals would personally descend upon the stage to preach to the exceptionally talented young generation, and the fortunate ones would even be able to hear the teachings of the immortal king.

What's most terrifying is that the alien land, already rich in resources, also carried out extensive excavations in the ancient burial area, unearthing the essence that would later be known as the "source," which was then supplied to their own younger generation, enabling them to rise rapidly.

What about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? They have nothing. They are at an absolute disadvantage in every aspect and see no hope of fighting against the alien realm. They can only temporarily block the alien realm's iron hooves by relying on the repulsive force of the Great Dao rules of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Of course, if the alien realms wished, they could forcibly annihilate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; they have the capability to do so.

However, it comes at a considerable price. Despite the apparent weakness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this realm is actually filled with immense karma, containing numerous forbidden zones for life and serving as a return anchor point for many powerful and taboo figures.

It's not so simple for the alien realm to wipe out this place in one fell swoop. Most importantly, there is a powerful and well-equipped immortal realm next to the Nine Heavens, which makes the alien realm hesitant and unable to really disregard everything.

At this moment, any being at the Immortal King level could sense the danger. They knew that the Great Purge was coming, an unparalleled catastrophe that even an Immortal King could not guarantee would be safe and sound.

Various factors prevented the alien realm from launching a full-scale attack, giving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths a chance to breathe, which led to Shi Hao's rise.

Without an anomaly like Shi Hao, the protagonists of heaven and earth, the Nine Heavens, would have no chance of defeating the alien realm; it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Shi Yi sighed softly, boarded a small boat, and drifted along the vast Sun River. He had no fixed destination; he was simply traveling through this foreign land, observing and learning about it.

Sometimes, he would stop and linger at renowned places of enlightenment in foreign lands for a long time. Other times, he would come to famous historical sites and gaze at the traces of the Dao left by those supreme beings who had made great contributions to the path of cultivation in foreign lands, trying to understand their state of mind at the time and observe their paths.

When passing by the renowned royal tribe, Shi Yi would observe from afar, feeling the grandeur and imposing presence of the royal family.

In other realms, only those who become immortals can be given the title of royalty. Generally speaking, once an immortal member of a royal family falls, the royal title will not be immediately revoked unless the family completely declines and no one among its descendants can achieve immortality.

Along the way, Shi Yi has experienced a lot and gained a relatively deep understanding of foreign lands, no longer just a superficial understanding as before.

He sat upright on the flat boat, using his magic to conjure a fishing rod and a fishing line, and used solar-type supernatural powers as bait, becoming a fisherman for a day.

Soon, a fish took the bait. Shi Yi pulled hard and caught a huge fish, as big as a small mountain, which was disproportionate to the small boat he was riding in.

This is a dragon-yang fish, its entire body is golden yellow, covered with fish scales, and its whiskers are dozens of feet long. It has a dragon head, and there are two bumps on its forehead, as if dragon horns are about to grow. Its whole body is filled with the scorching power of the sun, and it can even breathe fire.

It struggled violently on Shi Yi's fishhook, its body ablaze with the fire of the sun, brilliant and intense.

Shi Yi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that there was such a large Dragon Yang Fish in the Sun River, almost growing dragon horns. Its cultivation level was also quite high, barely reaching the Escape One realm.

"Good stuff, the taste should be pretty good." Shi Yi nodded slightly, then waved his hand and unleashed the great supernatural power of "Hidden Universe in Sleeves".

In an instant, the mountain-sized Longyang fish shrank rapidly and flew into Shi Yi's sleeve.

He then cleaned the Dragon Yang Fish, which was at the Escape One Realm, and threw it into the large pot that had been prepared beforehand, and began to cook it.

Since arriving in this world, he has devoted himself to cultivation and risen through the ranks. He has never enjoyed the delicacies of the world of gods and demons as much as he does today, especially the unique Dragon Yang Fish, which is exclusive to this other realm.

Just as they finished doing all this, before they could even pay attention to anything else, a thunderous laugh echoed from the sky.

"Hahaha, what a wonderful pot of Longyang fish soup! This Longyang fish must have reached the Escape One Realm, right? Brother, you have excellent skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure descended from the sky, carrying a terrifying aura, and landed on Shi Yi's small boat.

This is a young man, dressed in a cold, crimson armor, with wildly flowing black hair and eyes that gleam like lightning, exuding a strong sense of aggression.

He was very powerful, standing at the level of Escape One, with astonishing power hidden within his body, and an imposing aura emanating from him.

Shi Yi remained calm, simply continuing to cook the fish soup, seemingly unconcerned about the visitors.

This attitude surprised the young man in red armor. After all, he was a royal prodigy who had advanced to the Escape Realm at the age of thirty-seven or thirty-eight. This speed was incredibly fast. Normally, other beings would bow their heads and pay great respects when they saw him, unless they encountered an existence of the same level.

He happened to be passing by and saw Shi Yi subduing the Dunyi Dragon Yang Fish from afar. He immediately realized that this creature was unfathomable and extraordinary, so he decided to befriend it.

In foreign lands, making friends is simple: first, see if the other person is qualified, and then have a fight.

"Fellow Daoist, would you mind if I sat down and had a sip of the Dragon Yang Fish Soup?" the red-armored youth asked with a smile. "That depends on whether you're qualified," Shi Yi replied expressionlessly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he made his move. It was just an ordinary slap, but it caused the red-armored youth's expression to change drastically.

This slap may seem simple, like that of an ordinary person, without any special features or sense of power. In fact, it is a return to simplicity and a manifestation of going from complexity to simplicity. Within a very simple action, many powerful techniques are mixed together.

"Well done!"

The red-armored youth shouted, then made the same move as Shi Yi.

As a renowned prodigy among the royal family, he had his own pride. If the other party only slapped him once, he wouldn't make any unnecessary moves.

"Boom!"

The two beings clashed, unleashing a deafening collision that shook the heavens and earth, cracked the void, and caused the vast Sun River to boil.

After this exchange, both men remained standing still, seemingly evenly matched. However, the red-armored youth's complexion was noticeably off; he was slightly paler than before, and the hand that had struck Shi Yi was trembling uncontrollably.

Clearly, he was at a disadvantage.

This shocked the red-armored youth. He was a member of an incomparably powerful royal family, and in the vast world, who had the ability to injure him with a single blow when they were of equal rank? Who exactly was this mysterious being before him? Could he be from the imperial family?
The next moment, he couldn't help but laugh at his own idea. The heirs of the imperial family have always been mysterious, never appearing in the world or participating in external rankings, because anyone who steps out can dominate the world and crush their contemporaries.

However, Shi Yi's combat strength was unfathomable. With a casual gesture, he made Shi Yi feel suffocated. The slap he had just delivered seemed to have been completely unserious.

This made the red-armored youth hesitate for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, am I qualified?" he asked.

"It's so-so," Shi Yi replied.

If it weren't for the need to infiltrate the alien community and gain a deeper understanding of the situation there, he wouldn't have held back like he did with that slap earlier.

At this moment, Shi Yi could easily slap a powerful member of the royal family.

Upon hearing this, the young man in red armor did not hesitate and immediately sat down in front of the large pot, eagerly anticipating the feast.

Shi Yi was generous and served him a large bowl of Longyang fish soup. An amazing aroma spread and captivated everyone.

After just one sip, the red-armored youth looked astonished, as if he had tasted the most delicious thing in the world.

So, he then drank the entire bowl of fish soup in one go.

He then told Shi Yi about his origins, that he was a prodigy from the Crimson Flame Royal Family, and then casually asked Shi Yi's name.

My name is Pu Yu.

Shi Yi gave a false name.

"Pu Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Ming suddenly recalled an incomparably powerful super race. Although the ancient ancestor of this race had perished in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths due to an accident, the race's imperial title had not been stripped. The race had a powerful figure of the quasi-immortal king level who was in charge, maintaining the imperial prestige of the race.

He tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps from the Pumo clan?"

Shi Yi nodded slightly.

"I guess so. I have a portion of the bloodline of the Pumo clan in my body."

"hiss!"

Chi Ming gasped. The creature he had just fought was indeed related to the Imperial Clan. No wonder it was so powerful.

He immediately beamed and began a lively conversation with Shi Yi. Later, he even extended an invitation to Shi Yi to accompany him to an immortal mountain range to attend a grand feast.

That was the birthday banquet of an immortal from another immortal royal family, which invited many powerful races to attend. The Crimson Flame Royal Family behind Crimson Nether was one of them. After receiving the invitation, the family sent a supreme being to attend, while Crimson Nether was the representative of the younger generation.

He did not set off with the elders of the clan; the two agreed to meet at the venue of the banquet.

Along the way, he enjoyed the scenery and had a great time. He happened to run into Shi Yi, who was fishing and cooking fish, and that's how all the things that happened later occurred.

Upon receiving Chi Ming's invitation, Shi Yi's heart stirred. The birthday banquet of an immortal should not be attended by an immortal king, so there was no danger for him. He could go and see for himself.

Of course, on the surface, he declined.

"That's not a good idea. I'm just an unknown person. It would be very presumptuous of me to go there without receiving an invitation," Shi Yi said softly.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ming smiled and shook his head: "Brother Pu invited me to drink fish soup, so he is my best friend. Why be so formal? My clan elders love young talents the most. Your talent and strength are even above mine. If they knew that I could befriend such a strong person, they would be overjoyed."

Shi Yi made a token refusal, but Chi Ming was too enthusiastic, and in the end, he nodded in agreement and agreed to go to the banquet with Chi Ming.

"Hahaha, that's great."

At this Immortal Banquet, we young people might become the focus of attention. With Brother Pu's strength, it would be hard for him not to shine.

"After this, who will dare to say that Brother Pu is a nobody?" Chi Ming said with a loud laugh.

The direction the Sun River was flowing was convenient, so the two of them sat in the boat and sailed downstream.

After an unknown amount of time, the great river flowed towards a magnificent mountain range, their destination. (End of Chapter)
