The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Chapter 435 The Old Fool, Darkness Corrodes

The witch nodded; she would listen to Shi Yi.

"There are still nearly thirty years before the gate to the Immortal Realm closes, so there's no need to rush."

"However, you can have the Jietian Sect and Jietian Dao prepare in advance," Shi Yi said.

The Jietian Sect has the witch's family and mentors, and the Jietian Path also has those who have been kind to her. Some of them are too old. Once the end of the Dharma arrives, and Heaven's will strikes, they won't last long before they pass away. There aren't enough immortality pills for them. Their only way to survive is to go to the Immortal Realm.

As a witch with the title of "Invincible Seed," she can carry quite a few creatures. If that's not enough, Shi Yi can ask those other "Invincible Seeds" for some more spots.

Leaving aside the Little Heavenly King, Shi Yi had once been kind to him, as had the Nine Lives Heavenly Lord, and there were also the Ten-Crown King, the Immortal, and others, which was certainly enough.

Subsequently, Shi Yi, accompanied by the witch, descended to the upper realm along the path to heaven.

As he walked out of the passage, he had a premonition.

The world has indeed changed; the autumn wind is bleak, and a great calamity is imminent.

Shi Yi left a mark on the witch and placed her in the Jie Tian Sect, while he himself traveled through the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

In order to enter the Immortal Realm, the major powers of the Three Thousand Dao States desperately held arenas, where countless young cultivators competed and climbed step by step, just to be seen by the envoy of the Immortal Realm and thus gain the opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm.

Shi Yi watched all of this silently as he left the bustling place and arrived at the border that bordered the foreign land.

He knew that before the end of the Dharma era, there would be another dark catastrophe.

In the border war, the immortal king of the alien realm failed to seize the rotten wooden box. Unwilling to accept defeat, he returned with renewed vigor. This time, instead of attacking the border with millions of fierce soldiers, he attempted to corrupt the heavens and earth through a "dark invasion," and even further, to erode the immortal realm.

Of course, this is no easy task, and the Immortal Realm will not stand idly by and watch the buffer zone fall into darkness.

In the no-man's-land, in some areas with weak spatial density, Shi Yi arrived. He stood in the void, his entire body surrounded by ethereal light. All the demons and monsters hid, not daring to challenge his power. Even the ghostly immortal creatures only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach.

Shi Yi's double pupils shone brightly, his gaze as sharp and piercing as a celestial sword, penetrating the void and looking through the past and present.

In a daze, he saw the scene on the other side, where a vast expanse of darkness surged.

He traveled through the vast, uninhabited areas, and many places were like this. In fact, there was a gap in the ground where black smoke was beginning to billow out.

Shi Yi intervened, blocking the dark power and then sealing the breach.

However, this can only be maintained temporarily; the alien creatures have not yet truly begun their full-scale invasion.

This is not something Shi Yi can stop; it is the general trend, the torrent. You must know that in order to corrupt the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the alien realm has even used the ancient artifacts of origin, aiming to relive the rise of Yu Tuo in this realm and cultivate the sacred dark seed. Naturally, the Immortal King is behind this, and no one else has the authority to touch the Golden Temple.

In this situation, how could Shi Yi, who is still in the realm of humanity, possibly stop the darkness on his own?
It should be noted that in the original story, the Black Calamity was fought by cultivators from the Immortal Realm against the alien realm for decades. Even True Immortals died in the battle. In the end, it was the Dharma-ending Age that scared the alien realm away.

Shi Yi sighed softly. If he were a Celestial King, there might be a slight chance of stopping him. But even a Celestial King wouldn't be safe, because he would be facing an ancient artifact of origin, something that would kill even a Celestial King if he touched it.

No one knows to what extent the otherworld can open up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; everything is unknown.

Fortunately, Shi Yi knew that even a complete world as powerful as the Otherworld feared the end of the Dharma era, and this terrifying invasion of darkness would only last until the end of the Dharma era arrived.

Once upon a time, countless years ago, the Immortal Realm was eroded by the aura of the end of Dharma, paying an extremely heavy price. In the end, a powerful figure intervened and completely severed that area from the Immortal Realm, thus stopping the trend of the end of Dharma.

If we persevere until the end of the Dharma, darkness will recede on its own.

Suddenly, he saw an area that looked like it was about to collapse, with darkness about to emerge.

There, the image of nine dragons pulling a coffin appeared, nine lifelike dragons pulling a heavy bronze coffin, stopping outside the sealed area.

The bronze coffin lid had been opened, and one after another, towering figures rushed out, heading towards the area impacted by darkness.

These are immortal marks, not living beings. Shi Yi recognized their identities; they all had extraordinary origins.

Great Crimson Heavenly Lord, Pure Subtle Heavenly Lord, Boundless Heavenly Lord... Immortal Monk King...

They left immortal marks in the bronze coffin, so that when darkness reappears one day, they can suppress it with their own bodies.

Besides the marks of the dead, there was also a living person, a primordial spirit.

At the same time that Shi Yi discovered him, he also discovered Shi Yi.

"You are... Cao Yusheng's master?" Shi Yi recognized the identity of the primordial spirit, who came from the Xuanwu clan and was once a powerful immortal.

The immortal tortoise shell used by the two immortal kings to determine their opponent during the final battle of the Immortal Ancient Era was shed from his body.

Before descending to the mortal realm, Shi Yi instructed Cao Yusheng to tell his master that there were some things he didn't have to bear alone, meaning that when darkness came, Shi Yi could also do his part.

However, this Xuanwu clan expert, known as "Old Fool," still chose to escape alone, following the ten immortal marks in the Three Incarnations Coffin, to the no-man's land, where he sealed off the darkness.

"Shi Yi?" the old, senile primordial spirit asked.

"Senior, thank you for guiding me through the Immortal Flower Bud. Otherwise, I would never have been able to find the grave of the result, nor would I have obtained that Destiny Tortoise Shell," Shi Yi said gratefully.

"Every cause and effect, every drink and every bite, is predetermined," the senile old man sighed.

Shi Yi was about to step forward to help when the old senile man shouted, stopping him in his tracks.

“This place can’t be defended anymore. Adding you won’t change the outcome. The Dark Age is coming, it’s a foregone conclusion. Go back and save your life for something useful,” the senile old man sighed.

“Senior, you can step back. I will use a secret technique to fill the gap,” Shi Yi suggested.

Upon hearing this, the old senile man glanced at the ten immortals beside him, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't you understand? I should have been dead long ago. My friends and comrades-in-arms are all buried in Xian Gu. Go back and help me take care of Yu Sheng. That would be the greatest help you can give me."

Shi Yi saw his desire to die, and moreover, his primordial spirit had a serious problem; knowing too many heavenly secrets was not a good thing.

"Let's go! Before the darkness breaks the seal, let's return to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and do something," the senile old man urged.

"I understand. I will take good care of Cao Yusheng and ensure his safety on your behalf."

"Thank you."

This was the old senile man's final farewell.

Shi Yi sighed softly, took one last look, and then withdrew from the no-man's-land. On this trip, he had seen at least three places on the verge of collapse, places that even the power of a True Immortal was insufficient to seal off. The outbreak of darkness was only a matter of moments. Now, the only thing he could do was to evacuate the Dao states that were about to be eroded in advance, reducing the number of beings swallowed by the darkness.

The selection of sacred dark seeds is essentially a process of dark creatures devouring each other, which allows them to grow rapidly to the supreme level. If those Dao states that may be invaded by darkness are evacuated in advance, the speed at which sacred dark seeds appear can be greatly slowed down when the dark aura invades.

Shi Yi stepped forward.

The Three Thousand Continents of this time were no longer the chaotic and corrupt Three Thousand Continents of the past. They had long been thoroughly cleaned up by Shi Yi, and his desire to protect this place was much stronger than before, after all, it was his mother world.

His appearance immediately caused a huge sensation, alarming the entire Immortal Realm delegation, with more than half of the Immortal Realm envoys coming to pay their respects.

Each one comes from a different immortal realm power, representing the lineage behind them.

Those who didn't come naturally didn't care for the border tribes, and some even had grudges against them.

Shi Yi didn't care and met with these envoys from the Immortal Realm one by one to learn about the ancient lineage they represented.

Several envoys from the Immortal Realm expressed their intention to recruit him. The Daoist lineages behind them valued Shi Yi's formidable combat strength and cultivation potential as "the number one person in the human realm," believing he had a high probability of reaching the Immortal King level in the future. Therefore, they were investing in him in advance.

After all, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade.

"Lord Shi, our clan leader said that he is willing to fight for your opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm, as long as you marry our clan's pearl."

"Senior Shi, our clan's Immortal King has recently been restless and wants to find a successor to inherit the Dao lineage. He has mentioned your name before."

……

Shi Yi politely declined all the offers and conditions, saying that he would most likely stay in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and that he appreciated their good intentions.

None of that matters. What matters is that darkness is coming.

He told them what he had seen and heard: the alien realm was about to use the ancient artifacts of origin to try to corrupt the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The first place to erupt was in the spiritual world of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces—the Spirit Realm—and then it would invade reality.

Shi Yi instructed the envoys from the Immortal Realm to inform the Immortal Realm of the situation so that the Immortal Realm could make preparations in advance.

Every envoy from the Immortal Realm who came to see Shi Yi left with a heavy expression. They did not doubt Shi Yi's words. He was a being comparable to a true immortal, who had personally fought against a giant among the immortal kings of other realms. Naturally, he would not speak without reason.

The celestial envoy who relayed the message from the Six Paths of Reincarnation also returned to the celestial sect with Shi Yi's original words, intending to inform the celestial realm of this news and make preparations as soon as possible.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shi Yi began to use his influence to evacuate those Daozhou states that might be invaded.

As far as he knew, the alien realm in the original work invaded more than a thousand major states in thirty years, and nearly half of the three thousand provinces fell.

The Great Migration was no simple matter, and Shi Yi alone could not possibly handle it.

Therefore, he invited several supreme beings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms to assist him in completing the evacuation and relocation.

Relocating all living beings is impossible and there isn't enough time. The only option is to focus on intelligent species, and we can't worry about the others for now.

And so, a massive migration began. The safer provinces made room for the tribes from the more dangerous provinces. Although this would greatly reduce their living space, it was necessary to do so in order to survive and to weaken the power of corruption.

Not long after the Great Migration began, signs appeared in the heavens and earth.

Divine rainbows occasionally flew out, appearing in the nine heavens and piercing through the ten lands.

Shi Yi's expression turned solemn. He knew this was a sign of impending darkness, so he urged the various states to speed up the migration.

Before long, all the divine rainbows flew towards the Three Thousand Continents and entered the Spirit Realm, causing strange changes there.

In a certain area of ​​the spirit world, what was originally a holy place instantly turned into darkness, transforming from peaceful to a raging evil aura.

The black mist surged and began to spread in all directions, creating an overwhelming sense of terror.

The cultivators responsible for observing this area were shocked, their faces showing fear.

"Darkness has truly arrived; what Lord Shi said has come true."

"Fortunately, Lord Shi had the foresight to relocate the intelligent races from these dangerous areas. If it had been any later, it might have led to a tragedy."

"Quickly, inform Lord Shi and Lord Meng of the situation here..."

"Let's get away from here too; the darkness is spreading too fast."

A group of monks quickly evacuated the area.

Soon, the news spread, and all the living beings in the three thousand provinces were terrified. Those who had been relocated were all extremely grateful and spontaneously chanted the name of Shi Yi.

At the same time, they quickened their pace and migrated towards the "safe area" that Shi Yi had mentioned.

According to Shi Yi's plan, the three thousand provinces would be bounded by a single dragon vein to block the invasion of darkness.

The power of the Three Thousand Dao States alone is definitely not enough. Meng Tianzheng and the others can only help temporarily because the Dark Invasion is not limited to the Three Thousand Dao States. It is happening all over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and it is impossible to defend against it all. The power of the Immortal Realm must be involved.

Fortunately, the Immortal Realm quickly reached a conclusion. After discussions among various forces, the Immortal Realm decided to send troops. However, they would not deploy forces at the Immortal King level; at most, they would send experts at the True Immortal level.

Just like in the Immortal Ancient Era, the creatures sent out will most likely not return, because fighting with dark creatures will inevitably taint them with dark power, and such creatures are forbidden from entering the Immortal Sect.

Back then, even the Celestial Kings wouldn't allow them to return; they could only establish their own forbidden zones in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now, these True Immortals, Supreme Beings, and Escape Ones are even more out of the question.

Of course, only the true immortals knew they couldn't go back; the human beings below were kept in the dark and still fantasized about returning.

The darkness spread rapidly, encroaching from the spirit world into the real world. In just one day, it submerged two states, turning them into a dark and lifeless place.

However, to the dismay of the masterminds behind the alien lands, these two states were practically dead zones, devoid of any intelligent races, and the dark matter could only corrupt beings that had not even developed sentience.

With such a size, it is impossible to cultivate a sacred dark seed.

"How could this be? Did the heavens and earth foresee everything?"

"Weren't the three thousand prefectures just a disorganized mess? How could they organize such a massive migration?"

"Hmph, keep eroding. The provinces they've migrated to are actually more densely populated with life. Once we conquer one province, we can begin cultivating the sacred seeds." (End of Chapter)
