The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Shi Hao and his two companions followed Lei Ling across the land, arriving at many ancient and dilapidated worlds, and even saw an ancient divine tree that was evolving into the World Tree.

It failed, and the entire universe withered and died along with it.

After crossing the altar time and time again, they finally reached the end. The Thunder Spirit team stopped; there were no more altars to cross.

"This is where?"

Shi Hao and his two companions surveyed their surroundings.

It was a gray, empty, and desolate place. Nothing was visible, and no living creatures were to be seen. It felt like we had arrived at the end of the world, and everything was so bleak.

"This is too strange. After so many teleportations, who knows where we are?" Sanzang frowned.

The Thunder Spirit team began to move in this area, seemingly searching for something. Suddenly, they showed excitement, broke through the mist, and headed straight in one direction.

"Have you found your destination?" Shenming asked, puzzled.

The three of them had no choice but to follow.

Those altars are all one-way; there is no way to return.

The journey ahead was unusual and strange, as if traversing an ancient battlefield, with various ancient weapons and dilapidated, silent warships scattered along the roadside.

“These things are terrifying. Even though the runes inside have been worn away, their essence can still be seen. They are celestial artifacts,” Sanzang murmured.

Without a doubt, this is an ancient battlefield in which immortal beings participated.

"This is……"

Suddenly, they stopped and saw a pair of enormous stone gates.

The traces of the battlefield cease before the pair of stone gates, as if severed by them.

The three stepped forward and saw many ruins in front of the stone gate. A being with golden blood died at the foot of the stone gate, and he wrote several immortal characters with his golden blood.

"Can not go back."

Tripitaka softly recited the meaning of the Taoist scriptures.

He then concluded that this being from the Guardian lineage was incredibly powerful in life, at the very least a Supreme Being.

"Do you know what's behind this door?" Shi Hao asked. He had a guess, but the two Golden Burial Warriors were knowledgeable and experienced, so they could probably give a more accurate answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, these stone gates are the legendary Immortal Gates, and beyond the Immortal Gates lies the homeland of immortals," Sanzang replied solemnly.

"The Hometown of Immortals!"

Shi Hao muttered to himself, thinking about many things. Dugu Yun had been searching for a way back to his homeland, those forbidden zones of life that stood tall in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the reinforcements that Jin Taijun had mentioned... everything pointed to the vast immortal realm behind the two huge stone gates in front of them.

“There was a rumor that the homeland of immortals was connected to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the previous era, but later, some terrible change occurred, and this connection was broken. Since then, no living being who has left the homeland of immortals has been able to return, just like these living beings who are blocked before us,” Sanzang murmured.

Upon hearing this secret, Shi Hao was surprised, feeling that everything was connected and many things had a clear thread.

Just then, the Thunder Spirits made a move. They lined up together, forming a strange formation, and chanted ancient and mysterious incantations, as if they were summoning something.

However, the stone gates remained cold and motionless, and despite their power, they could not shake the two massive immortal gates.

The next moment, they lifted a corner of the straw mat, bowed to the inside, their faces showing piety, and kept worshipping.

Soon, their actions took effect; a ball of light rose slowly from the blood-stained straw mat, emitting a dazzling glow.

Then, the ball of light flickered and appeared before the stone gate.

This astonishing scene left Shi Hao and his companions utterly shocked. What was that ball of light? Was it the Thunder Emperor's weapon?

Shi Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the hole of the Thunder Emperor's armor, also sensed this fluctuation. He used the vertical eye between his eyebrows, the Chaos Eye, and finally saw the thing in the ball of light: an ancient and mottled Thunder Pool.

The infamous Thunder Emperor of the Ten Fiends possessed a mottled Thunder Pool as his weapon. Perhaps the Thunder Pool was not something he forged, but rather something that was born with him. Or perhaps the Thunder Emperor himself was a being that emerged from the Thunder Pool.

Shi Yi thought to himself.

"Buzz!"

When the Thunder Pool appeared in front of the stone gate and struck it, the previously cold and unmoving stone gate immediately reacted.

It emitted an eerie light, no longer as ancient and silent as before, but becoming almost transparent.

Immediately afterwards, countless patterns revived and spread on the stone gate, as if flowing there with molten iron.

Two enormous ancient characters emerge, imbued with the aura of the Great Dao, majestic and awe-inspiring throughout history.

"Fairy Realm!"

Sanzang and Shenming were surprised and read out the meaning of those two words.

All three trembled. Just those two ancient characters gave off an unparalleled sense of oppression, making their souls tremble like candle flames flickering in the wind.

The next moment, a melodious Daoist voice, carried from the distant past, reached the present world, cleansing people's souls. Many wondrous phenomena manifested on the stone gate: the ancient ancestors, the secrets of chaos, the end of the Great Dao...

The three of them couldn't help but want to comprehend the Dao and understand the things on the stone gate.

It wasn't until the Thunder Pool struck the stone gate again that they came to their senses. The three of them felt a wave of fear; they had been as if possessed, and their minds had almost been swallowed up by the stone gate.

"What a terrifying door!"

Even the thunder spirits were furious. If it weren't for the power of the Thunder Pool, they would have perished here, their primordial spirits sinking into the stone gate.

At this moment, the Thunder Pool exerted its power once more, and a beam of light shot out from within, containing the secrets of the heavens, and landed on the stone gate.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled, the sun and moon lost their light, and the two unshakeable immortal gates trembled as if they were about to collapse because of a beam of light in the Thunder Pool.

"How is this possible? Wasn't it said that once the Immortal Gate was closed, no one could open it, no matter who came? Now there are signs that it is about to open." Sanzang was greatly surprised.

Then, something amazing happened: crystalline lines burst forth from the two immortal gates, extending to the sides and upwards.

It's as if a living being is painting, sketching out a blurry scene.

"This is... a Celestial Realm fortress?"

The group was excited. If they could break through the fortress, it would mean they had entered a magnificent and vast immortal realm, where endless opportunities awaited their exploration.

“According to the records in the Bronze Book, this fortress may have loopholes, and perhaps we can sneak in.” The two Golden Burial Warriors immediately rushed over and began searching.

The transformed Kun seedlings are also doing the same thing.

However, that's impossible; there's simply no opening in the fortress.

As the lines materialized, a magnificent fortress slowly appeared before everyone's eyes, forcing the group to retreat and making it impossible for them to get any closer.

Shi Hao and the others looked up at the top of the fortress and saw some young beings standing on the city gate tower, looking down at the people below with extremely arrogant expressions, like kings looking down at beggars.

At first, they were surprised to see Shi Hao and his group, but they quickly became indifferent, their arrogance undisguised. Clearly, they mistook the three for country bumpkins from the lower realm.

"Heh, interesting." Sanzang sneered.

He and Shenming were both Golden Burial Warriors, and Shi Hao had even ventured into the Ancient Palace of Origin with them and emerged alive, which was no small feat. It was quite interesting that the group of people on the city wall were looking down at them like that.

On the city tower, heavenly soldiers and generals, armed with weapons, coldly watched down at the young people below, who were full of vigor and looked extraordinary.

"Is this the young man from the Immortal Realm? He is truly powerful, with unfathomable cultivation." Shenming said.

Shi Hao felt that this was not sarcasm, but a fact: those young people from the Immortal Realm were indeed incredibly powerful.

"So many Thunder Spirits?"

The young man on the city gate tower spoke up.

"Chirp!"

Lei Ling spoke.

As if understanding their meaning, the young man wearing a golden crown turned cold and shouted, "You think you can just open it like that? Who do you think you are? And these few mortals, you want to enter the Immortal Realm? You're dreaming!"

He used the language of the Immortal Realm, which was very ancient and unfamiliar to people. However, through the fluctuations of divine sense, Shi Hao and the others could understand what he was saying.

"I have long yearned for the Immortal Realm and yearn to enter it," Sanzang murmured, a smile playing on his lips, as if he were saying it on purpose.

"Ha ha……"

On the city gate tower, another young man couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was dressed in purple and gold armor, and his aura was terrifying, causing the surrounding void to blur.

Then, he mocked Shi Hao and his group, saying that dragons have their nests and ants have their anthills, and this was not a place for them.

"Immortals, are they that powerful? Is the Immortal Realm the highest pure land?" Sanzang sneered.

These words attracted the attention of all the creatures on the city gate tower, and they all looked towards Sanzang.

Shi Hao, fearing that he had spoken too harshly, quickly stopped him and then spoke up to inform him of the situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, hoping that the Immortal Realm could lend a helping hand.

"Alright, we understand. Go back and wait. We'll make our move when the time is right," a young man said impatiently, his tone dismissive, showing he didn't take Shi Hao seriously at all.

This attitude caused Shi Hao's expression to turn cold as well.

"And you Thunder Spirits, though extraordinary, come from a polluted world and cannot return. Moreover, it's somewhat laughable that you actually want to bring a dead man in. Do you intend to bury him in the Immortal Realm? Or perhaps you should return to where you came from," the golden-robed young man said, waving his hand.

These remarks enraged the Thunder Spirits, who arched their bodies like divine arrows, ready to storm the Immortal Gate at any moment.

"Are you courting death? Anyone who dares to disrespect the Immortal Realm will be killed without mercy!" shouted the being clad in purple armor.

"Don't be impulsive. They can activate the city gates, so there must be a token. We should examine them carefully. Maybe we can really enter the city." A stunningly beautiful woman with silver hair spoke. Behind her, magical power condensed into a dazzling light, and a white peacock could be vaguely seen.

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Spirits called out in unison, uttering a grand sacrificial chant.

Instantly, the mottled thunder pool on the Thunder Emperor's chest flew out, appearing from an outsider's perspective as a glowing orb.

"Wait, that's..." the silver-haired beauty exclaimed.

"boom!"

The mottled lightning pool struck the immortal gate, emitting a blinding light.

"Open the city gate!"

An old voice came out.

The next moment, the stone gate became almost transparent, revealing a vast and magnificent immortal realm.

The group of Thunder Spirits lifted the Thunder Emperor's straw mat, weeping as they crossed the Immortal Gate and entered the Immortal Realm.

This scene shocked the group of young people on the city gate tower. For the immortal realm to open its gates, the creature on the straw mat must have an extraordinary background.

Within the Thunder Emperor's armor, Shi Yi sensed that he had successfully entered the vast Immortal Realm with the Thunder Spirit's team.

"Wait, you come from a polluted world, you must be disinfected before you can enter," someone said.

The Thunder Spirits glared at them, but in the end, they cooperated.

As for the Thunder Emperor on the straw mat, no one dared to touch him. The powerful figure guarding this place had already given instructions not to touch the creatures on the straw mat.

And so, carrying the straw mat and the remains of the Thunder Emperor, they successfully entered the legendary homeland of immortals.

The creatures of the Immortal Realm Fortress watched the Thunder Spirit Team depart, wondering who was lying on that straw mat, possessing such great influence that the Immortal Realm made an exception and opened the Immortal Gate.

"He was once an unparalleled powerhouse who made indelible and enormous contributions to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm made a promise that the gates of the Immortal Realm would always be open to him, and this was not an empty promise."

"That's why his weapon could make the immortal sects tremble and manifest itself," a being who knew that ancient secret whispered.

Soon, Lei Ling's team disappeared from the sight of everyone in the Immortal Realm.

Outside, Shi Hao's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Shi Yi was hiding under that straw mat. Had he really managed to sneak into the Immortal Realm like that? Did he know that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were doomed to defeat, so he chose to escape?

He wondered if Shi Yi's journey to the foreign lands was because he had witnessed their power and thus abandoned his resolve to remain in the Nine Heavens and instead seek refuge in the Immortal Realm.

In any case, Shi Yi entered the Immortal Realm, keeping it a secret from everyone except himself.

"Very well, without the support of the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens are indeed in despair, with no hope in sight. It's better to preserve the spark of life." Shi Hao sighed.

In the vast and magnificent landscape of the Immortal Realm, a group of Thunder Spirits carried two straw mats and a corpse, proceeding with sorrow. They were heading to a place of great fortune to try and revive the Thunder Emperor.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the straw mat, enveloped in countless bolts of lightning, allowing it to land safely.

"Thank you very much."

As the light faded, Shi Yi's figure appeared, and he thanked the Thunder Emperor Armor in the straw mat.

Without the Thunder Emperor Armor's help, it would have been impossible for him to sneak in.

You must know that every immortal fortress is guarded by a true immortal, and it's not something a mere cultivator like him can take advantage of.

"The Immortal Realm... remains as prosperous as ever," the Wheel of Reincarnation remarked.

"The last time we came to the Immortal Realm was in the previous era. It's a pity that the invasion from other realms kept the two Immortal Kings too busy to fully understand the secrets of that place that connects to the heavens, the spirits, and the past and present. It's all too late now." Another corner also sighed.

"Now is not the time for lamenting. The important matter is to make a move to cross the universe and obtain the essence blood of the Immortal King."

"it is good!"

The Wheel of Reincarnation from that corner of the Immortal Realm made its move, radiating beams of immortal light that enveloped Shi Yi. It tore through the void, traversed countless universes, and rushed toward an ancient and mysterious region.

"We've arrived. This is the place." (End of Chapter)
