The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

The person who came was Shi Yi, whom Shi Hao had been looking for. At this time, Shi Yi was also over 30,000 years old. However, he was still in his first life and had just begun to decline. Only a few strands of white hair had grown at his temples.

He stood above the crater, looking at the wreckage and charred bodies beneath his feet, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Little brother, you’re still too young. You can’t even hold back after only 30,000 years. This is nothing!” Shi Yi shook his head.

"Struck into charred remains by lightning, yet he defied the heavens with his Dao Seed, finding a glimmer of life amidst endless destruction. Not bad, not bad. This is a moment worth remembering. There's no other way but to record it for you."

Shi Yi said with a smile.

For the next few years, he sat cross-legged on the pit, waiting for his younger brother to be reborn. He didn't want to miss any moment that could hurt his brother. Shi Hao did the same. When it came to matters of principle, they could stand together against a common enemy. That was the peculiar relationship between the two.

Years later, a glimmer of life flowed on the charred shell, like a piece of wood struck by lightning, nurturing a sliver of life, about to unleash a miracle of rebirth.

Shi Yi didn't open his eyes. He knew that this was still early, and it had only just begun.

In the following six months, a flame appeared, burning fiercely on the charred remains, growing ever stronger. This was the flame of life, signifying that Shi Hao had recovered and crawled out of the abyss of death.

"Crack!"

The charred crust cracked and detached from the wreckage, revealing a brand new body.

Shi Hao was reborn and lived a second life. Within his physical body, his blood and qi surged, his magical power was boundless, and his essence, energy, and spirit were at their peak.

Within his body, numerous portals opened, far more than in his first life. This was a manifestation of using his body as a seed, signifying that Shi Hao's cultivation had advanced further.

In comparison, Shi Hao's potential is even greater than in his first life.

He was familiar with his second life and was full of confidence, believing that in his current state, he was capable of challenging the path to immortality and even surpassing his cousin Shi Yi.

"hehe."

Thinking of this, Shi Hao chuckled softly, feeling as if the cries of monkeys on both banks could not be stopped, and his light boat had already passed through countless mountains.

However, the next second, a sudden coughing sound appeared above his head.

"Brother, why are you laughing? Have you been struck by lightning and gone mad?" Shi Yi said with a smile.

Shi Hao's expression froze. How could he not know that the other party had seen his process of rebirth?

“You are truly hateful. You secretly hid away to attain Nirvana without me noticing, and then you came up on top of me when I was in Nirvana.”

"They're not here to steal my skills, are they?" Shi Hao couldn't help but mutter.

"Heh, open your eyes and see which incarnation I am," Shi Yi sneered.

Shi Hao then looked up to observe carefully. To his surprise, he discovered that Shi Yi was still in his first life, and his blood and energy were still at their peak, showing no signs of decline. Only a few strands of white hair at his temples showed the marks of time.

"This... how is this possible? You took some kind of longevity-extending medicine?" Shi Hao was a little shocked.

He studied the secret arts so diligently and tried so hard to pursue the path to immortality, but he only lived for 30,000 years in his first life. When Shi Yi lived for 30,000 years, his hair had just turned white. That's terrifying.

"To be honest, did your ancestors have the bloodline of the Xuanwu clan?"

"Is it so hard to admit that you're not as good as me?" Shi Yi spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression.

Shi Hao snorted coldly, already acknowledging his cousin's ascension system in his heart. That mysterious human body balance was indeed something special.

In fact, beings like them all know the importance of this thing.

It is important to understand that the human body is a whole, and often a change in one part affects the whole. His secret method is to break through the surface by focusing on one point, gathering the five strong points in the human body, and finally achieving balance. Then, with a leap of his might, he ascends to the realm of immortality.

Shi Yi's ascension system maintained this balance in the human body from beginning to end, making him a perfect evolutionary machine that defies common sense.

That's why he was able to suppress Shi Hao's true form in that battle at the pinnacle of the Dao.

Under the same cultivation level, in all the heavens and myriad realms, who dares to say they can suppress Shi Hao, who has opened up the secret realm technique? Only Shi Yi.

It was only because he had an external advantage, having mastered the Immortal Emperor's Law beforehand, that he was able to drag Shi Yi down and fight him to the point of mutual injury. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the battle to reach that level.

"You didn't use the recording stone to record it again, did you?" Shi Hao asked suspiciously.

"When you start to doubt it, it's already happened," Shi Yi replied casually.

"Fine, fine, you'd better stay far away and don't let me catch you." Shi Hao laughed angrily as he said this.

He didn't believe that Shi Yi's life was equivalent to his two lives. Shi Hao estimated that Shi Yi had already begun to decline and would live for at most another 20,000 years.

When Shi Yi needs to sever his old body and usher in a new life, he vows to find Shi Yi and take a group photo with him.

"Little brother, your ambitions are lofty, but reality is cruel," Shi Yi chuckled.

Next, the two stopped joking. Shi Yi gave Shi Hao the insights he had gained from the Footprint Emperor on the Mortal Realm Platform. These things could provide inspiration for beings like them who were struggling in the mortal world.

As Shi Yi did this, a ball of chaotic fire suddenly appeared in Shi Hao's body. It was the wisp of Dao fire from the Footprint Emperor. It flew towards Shi Yi and shone within Shi Yi's body.

The strange light seemed to illuminate the past, present, and future, imprinting everything within Shi Yi's body.

Shi Yi did not stop it. He knew that this was the Dao Fire of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor imitating the myriad paths of the world, accumulating power to fight against the darkness again.

Back then, he fought against three opponents and was beaten up by them, and he died just like that. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept it. If it had been a one-on-one fight, the outcome would have been uncertain.

The Dao Fire of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor not only imitated Shi Yi's Dao, but also helped him illuminate the dark areas within his body that had not yet been opened.

At this moment, Shi Yi saw his own shortcomings. In this world, there is no such thing as the most perfect, only more perfect. He had simply taken a few more steps than other systems and had a higher goal.

The Tao has no limits; this saying will never be outdated.

Shi Yi smiled. If he had closed himself off and kept the experience of the Immortal of the Mortal World to himself, he probably wouldn't have gained such insights. Such is the wonder of the world.

After their discussion, both gained much from it and went their separate ways to continue pursuing their own paths. Shi Yi saw areas where he could improve, while Shi Hao realized that becoming an immortal was impossible in this era. No matter how strong human beings were, they couldn't break through the blockade created by the fall of the Immortal King. He also decided against taking the elixir of immortality and had originally planned to find one.

Now, Shi Hao intends to rely entirely on himself to navigate the mortal world.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed. But for the Twin Stones, ten thousand years is really not a long time. In their long lives, ten thousand years is just an insignificant ripple.

However, for other living beings, ten thousand years is an unattainable dream.

Amidst the rise and fall of dynasties, another golden age has arrived, with geniuses emerging and all races vying for supremacy.

Two beings, not belonging to this era, silently watched all this, neither interfering nor showing off, like two ascetic monks, accepting the baptism of time.

Shi Yi is 40,000 years old. At this moment, his hair is completely white and his face has some wrinkles. This feeling of aging is really strange and something he has never experienced before.

I have witnessed flowers bloom and wither, and the fleeting years and changes in the world more than once, but when I truly feel it, it is completely different from what I have seen.

Shi Yi enjoyed this feeling. He felt like an observer, standing at the highest point, looking down on a towering tree as it went from flourishing to withering and finally dying.

How long will he live in this lifetime?

Shi Yi didn't know, but he had a good attitude and kept developing his own system, letting the roots extend outwards.

In the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, on the first beacon, Shi Yi's spirit and energy returned. He re-forged his first ascension.

At first, he was so eager to move forward that after landing on the first beacon, he immediately wanted to cross it and head straight for the second beacon.

In reality, the first beacon was not a narrow, straight path; it was a vast continent, lying like a behemoth across the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, enduring the erosion of time, fate, and cause and effect.

Now, Shi Yi is turning back to explore the first landmark. He wants to personally measure every piece of land and experience everything about this realm, instead of rushing through it like he did at the beginning and pursuing speed.

As time passed, Shi Yi grew stronger little by little. He realized the benefits of the tempering of time, and his cultivation level continued to improve.

When he was 45,000 years old, Shi Hao found him.

At this time, Shi Hao's blood and energy had not yet reached the peak of his second life. He had a full head of black hair like a waterfall, and was incredibly strong, giving people a feeling of vigor and vitality.

Shi Yi, on the other hand, had white hair and was very old, like an old man in his sixties. His eyes still shone, but they were no longer as deep or majestic as they used to be.

"Shi Yi, you've actually grown old one day."

Seeing Shi Yi like this, Shi Hao couldn't bring himself to say anything sarcastic, and just felt a strange feeling in his chest.

His strong-willed cousin, who had always suppressed him, his arch-enemy, had also grown old.

Although Shi Hao knew this was inevitable, he was still filled with endless emotions when he actually saw the aged Shi Yi.

“In this degenerate age, apart from immortals in the mortal world, which human being can escape aging?” Shi Yi murmured.

"It just feels a bit unreal," Shi Hao sighed.

Then, he said something that left Shi Yi speechless, both amused and exasperated.

"Now seems to be the best time to challenge you. You are old and gray, with no teeth left, while I am in my prime with flowing black hair. In this state, I have the advantage, and defeating you should not be a problem."

After saying that, Shi Hao added, "It's just a bit unfair to win, like I'm bullying you because you're old and weak."

Shi Yi smiled and replied, "I'm fine with anything. If you want to fight, then let's fight."

"You said it yourself." Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He had been a little hesitant, but since Shi Yi had said so, he was determined to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to beat his cousin to a pulp.

"Yes, I was the one who said it. I forgot to tell you, my ascension technique is quite special. Even if I'm completely exhausted, I can recover to my peak condition and then fight again." Shi Yi nodded.

After saying that, his body radiated a blazing light of immortal transformation, and endless feathers fell from Shi Yi's body, removing the traces of time. His condition was improving; his white hair turned black, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his eyes shone as brightly as two golden lamps.

With each ascension, Shi Yi seemed to be aging in reverse, forcefully returning to his youthful state. Both his vital energy and primordial spirit were at their peak, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever.

At this moment, he seemed to have reversed the passage of time and everything else, forcibly standing at the peak, and it didn't seem like he had paid a great price.

Shi Hao's face darkened.

"You're such a pervert."

If he were as mature as he is now, he could return to his peak and go back to his youth, but he would have to pay a huge price. Unlike Shi Yi, who can just go back whenever he wants.
The two did not fight, but instead exchanged some playful banter.

"In my opinion, you only have five thousand years left in this life. So, have you found a place for Nirvana? Have you hidden it well? My recording stone can't wait any longer," Shi Hao asked softly.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely not find it," Shi Yi replied with a smile.

"Alright, I'd like to see where you can hide." Shi Hao was eager to try, hoping that the five thousand years would pass quickly.

If those creatures struggling through the ages knew his thoughts, they would be dumbfounded. The terrifying cruelty of the end times, the unstoppable passage of time, seemed so insignificant to them.

After this separation, Shi Yi began to make plans. He didn't want his younger brother to actually find him and use the recording stone to document his weakness. If Shi Hao succeeded, where would he, as the older brother, put his face?
If he were the younger brother, that would be fine; it's not a big deal if the older brother is not as good as the younger brother. But now that he is the older brother, he naturally cannot show his weak side.

Shi Yi estimated that he was probably over 50,000 years old in his first life, and he needed to make arrangements before his time was up.

Although he is far more adept at concealing his aura than most people can imagine, Shi Hao is no ordinary being. Who knows if he has figured out a way to find him? In any case, we must be on guard.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seven thousand years have passed. Shi Yi is now fifty-two thousand years old, and he is on the verge of death, almost at the end of his life.

However, if a battle is necessary, he can still return to his peak state through the Ascension Technique. This is the heaven-defying aspect of this technique, which ignores the passage of time and the laws of cause and effect.

Of course, the rules of the world are fixed, and Shi Yi's lifespan was eventually coming to an end, so he had to seek a way to start his next life.

Recalling his experiences over the past 52,000 years, he was filled with emotion. How many human beings in the world could survive for so long in the cruel end times like him? Along the way, he had experienced too much, all of which had turned into accumulation, making the worldly aura around him even stronger.

On the first beacon in the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness, Shi Yi's spirit stood tall. He had traversed every corner, witnessing all the scenery of this realm, experiencing many wonders he had never known before, and his cultivation had become incomparable. (End of Chapter)
