The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils
Chapter 439 The Passage of Time, the Boundary Sea
Shi Yi arrived and entered the Cross-Shadow Land. A bridge formed by a celestial tree stretched out and stopped at his feet.
Deep within the forbidden zone, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, clad in flowing white robes, stood there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"You came."
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled slightly, gave a greeting, and his eyes were full of admiration.
A being who has attained immortality in the mortal world—something even the most powerful immortal kings cannot achieve—has now witnessed a miracle.
"Did you know I was coming, senior?"
Shi Yi was surprised.
"You will definitely come, because the great enemy of the Immortal Realm is eyeing you covetously and will not sit idly by while you attain the Dao of Immortal King. Not only you, but Shi Hao will also be blocked from the Dao." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said with a serious expression.
"Would you be willing to help me, senior?" Shi Yi asked softly.
"Of course, helping you is helping Shi Hao. He is my disciple, and you are his elder brother. If you successfully enter the Immortal King realm, you can provide him with a safe haven."
"If I don't help you, he will inevitably be killed in the future. I can tell which is more important," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone replied.
"Then I thank you in advance, senior." Shi Yi had expected this and bowed to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone with the respect due to a junior.
"Don't be too happy yet. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have entered the Dharma-ending Age. The gate to the Immortal Realm will not open. Even if I have great abilities, I can't help you."
"Then let's wait until the gate to the Immortal Realm opens before we talk about it," Shi Yi said, not in a hurry.
He knew that it wouldn't be long before the Upper Realm would hold a Peach Banquet, probably 1,100 years from now.
This period of time, neither long nor short, was enough for Shi Yi to fully cultivate the sixth Dao Beacon.
Normally, following the proper path of cultivation would take him countless years, but Shi Yi's understanding of the Great Dao is overflowing, so the time required is naturally greatly shortened.
“Since you’re mentally prepared for this, then there’s nothing to worry about. If I can enter the Immortal Realm, I can find you a top-tier Immortal King as an assistant,” the White-Robed Forbidden Zone Master said.
"Thank you, senior."
Shi Yi thanked him.
The two chatted for a while longer. The Lord of the Forbidden Zone told them that he had a great array that led to the boundary sea dike. If needed, it could be activated. However, the boundary sea was extremely dangerous. He had perished because of a trip there. Moreover, the array had a cooldown period, and one had to stay there for over a hundred years to make a trip.
Shi Yi nodded, said goodbye, and left.
He returned to the Peerless Palace, where everything remained the same as before. The cages of the eight lower realms largely blocked the erosion of the end times, making the impact on the beings of the eight realms far less than that on the upper realm.
However, the end of the Dharma is inevitable; it has only slowed down the pace. One day, this place will become just like the Upper Realm.
Shi Yi sat down cross-legged in the Wushuang Hall and began a deep cultivation. For him, the Dharma-ending Age was nothing and could not stop his path.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Shi Yi remained motionless, sitting cross-legged as if petrified, his body covered with a thick layer of dust.
At first, people from the Wushuang Palace would glance at this place whenever they passed by, but later they got used to it.
Others thought Shi Yi was comprehending the Dao, but only his disciple Chi Long knew that Shi Yi was cultivating rapidly, his Daoist skills increasing day by day, and he was advancing at an exaggerated speed.
This made Ge Gu feel ashamed. He hadn't even broken through to the Supreme Realm yet, while his master was already making great strides in the Immortal Realm. What a huge difference that was.
On this day, Ge Gu came and said to Shi Yi, who was as still as a stone statue, "Master, I want to go out for a walk and visit my uncle."
“Go ahead, it’s perfect timing. Your martial uncle has brought quite a few newcomers, they’re kids from the original Imperial City back then. Your martial uncle took them out of the city and they developed a deep bond. Their cultivation levels are similar to yours, so you can exchange ideas and learn from each other.” This was the first time Shi Yi had spoken in ten years.
"A newcomer? Someone at the same level as me?" Ge Gu immediately became excited.
His usual training ground was the Void God Realm, the ancient trial path opened up by Shi Yi, where his opponents were those generals and commanders. Now, he had new opponents, so he was naturally happy.
"They are all descendants of Immortal Kings, don't underestimate them," Shi Yi warned.
"Don't worry, Master, I won't embarrass you," Ge Gu said casually.
Then, he soared into the sky and headed straight for Dahuangshi Village.
Shi Yi watched him leave, then returned to his cultivation.
Above the forbidden sea of suffering, he was constantly exploring the sixth Dao Beacon, which represented the realm of True Immortals.
Because he had accumulated so much in the realm of humanity, he almost reached the end as soon as he stepped into the sixth Dao marker, which is a manifestation of the Dao fruit of becoming an immortal in the mortal world.
Unlike his previous bold advances, this time Shi Yi took a steady and methodical approach, aiming to illuminate and set foot in every area of the sixth Dao Beacon, striving to build the Dao Foundation to its strongest level.
When he truly achieves this, he will reach the pinnacle of the True Immortal realm, the ultimate immortal realm. At that time, it will not be impossible for him to defeat an Immortal King with his True Immortal body.
With such a foundation, he had the opportunity to transform into a Celestial King and then fight against a peerless Celestial King like Ao Sheng; otherwise, his strength would not be sufficient.
The reason why Shi Hao in the original novel was able to rise so quickly after entering the Immortal King realm was inseparable from the hundreds of thousands of years that his ten primordial spirits had spent cultivating in the Samsara Seal. If Ao Sheng had not stopped Shi Hao and allowed him to successfully prove the Dao of Immortal King, he would never have been able to reach the giant level so easily. He would have had to go through a lot of hard work to achieve this.
The same principle applies to Shi Yi. His seventh Dao Beacon requires exploration, cultivation, and gradual accumulation. It's not something that can be mastered immediately after ascending to it.
If he can accumulate enough power in the True Immortal realm, he will undergo a qualitative transformation after breaking through to the Immortal King realm, giving Shi Yi enough confidence.
Time flies, and more than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Yi has been sitting cross-legged for more than two hundred years. His cultivation has become much stronger than when he first became an immortal. He has already explored 80% of the area represented by the sixth Dao Beacon in the True Immortal Realm. He is not far from the 100% he hopes for.
No one knows how strong he is now. He cultivates while watching the river of time flow endlessly, watching the sun rise and set, and the clouds roll and unroll.
In the Wushuang Hall, his great-grandfather had grown old, with white hair at his temples, but with the help of many powerful medicines, his lifespan was still long.
His father, Shi Ziteng, relying on the foundation of the Wushuang Hall, had already advanced to the Escape One Realm, a realm that was unimaginable to him before.
Shi Yi's disciple, Chi Long Ge Gu, returns once every ten years. The rest of the time, he travels or goes to Shi Village to fight against the creatures of the border tribes and hone his skills.
He wanted to cross the forbidden red line of five hundred years old like his master and defy the heavens to become the supreme being.
However, there was never a chance; the supreme realm was so far out of reach.
In this cruel, Dharma-ending Age, only the two extraordinary individuals, the Twin Stones, can disregard the effects of this era and continuously refine their cultivation. Shi Hao of Stone Village has already opened up five great human body secret realms and, after a complete overhaul, has reached the pinnacle of the ultimate path.
However, he was not satisfied, because the "pinnacle of the ultimate path" he was in was far inferior to that of Shi Yi before he became an immortal in the mortal world. Back then, Shi Yi used the human way to defeat immortals and kill true immortals, and was incomparably powerful, far beyond what he could compare to now.
Shi Hao consulted Shi Yi about this, and the latter told him that he needed to embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world and temper himself over the years. This kind of thing cannot be achieved overnight; it must be polished little by little over the years. There is no shortcut.
"I don't have that much time to refine myself generation after generation," Shi Hao said somewhat anxiously.
"Your master can help you with this, but it will require the right timing, because that place is in the Immortal Realm. If you want to get in, you must first get into the Immortal Realm."
"So, just wait, the time will come eventually," Shi Yi replied.
Shi Hao nodded and immediately went to find the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, only to receive the same answer. He sighed and could only wait for the right opportunity. Until then, the only thing he could do was to improve himself as much as possible.
In this year, Shi Yi had lived for over three hundred years in the contemporary timeline. His cultivation had steadily improved, and it was a certainty that he would reach the pinnacle of immortality before the Peach Banquet, although the time was a little tight.
On this day, Ge Gu arrived, bringing back news of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
“Master, my uncles are going to the dam area for training. They asked me to ask you if you want to go?” Ge Gu asked.
Shi Yi shook off the dust from his body and strode straight toward the cross-shaped Yin-Yang land.
"Walk."
As soon as they finished speaking, they arrived at the Heavenly Realm and stood before the Cross-Shadow Yin-Yang Ground.
Ge Gu was dumbfounded. This speed was simply too fast; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the stars had shifted in the sky.
He could sense that his master was becoming increasingly unfathomable.
The master and apprentice entered the Cross Yin-Yang Land, where there were many people and it was very lively. Not only were there the children from the Primitive Imperial City, but there were also Heavenly Horned Ants.
Upon seeing Shi Yi arrive, the latter greeted him, addressing him as an equal. As for the younger generation, they respectfully bowed to Shi Yi.
They looked at Shi Yi with curiosity. When they were young, they had witnessed the two Shi brothers defeat the immortal king of the alien realm outside the Imperial Pass. Now, hundreds of years later, they were no longer children. Each of them had reached the peak of the Escape One realm and was only one step away from becoming a Supreme Being.
Upon seeing Shi Yi arrive, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone felt much more relaxed; with him by their side, everyone would be safer.
Then, the ground within the restricted area began to crack and rumble. Some soil and rocks collapsed, and one after another array pattern emerged, crisscrossing like molten iron flowing in the darkness, dazzlingly bright.
The super array was activated, and instantly, immortal mist and chaotic light swirled around it. With a "whoosh," the void was pierced, leading to an unknown distance.
Shi Yi and Shi Hao felt it most deeply; they sensed an unparalleled power, as one broken world after another piled up into a sea, rising and falling there.
Boundary Sea!
Back then, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone escaped from there, only to die and leave behind his obsession.
The group stepped onto the teleportation array, thus embarking on their journey. Their bodies trembled violently as they traversed and shifted through fragments of spacetime and the endless universe, quickly leaving the forbidden zone of life and heading towards a mysterious place.
"Boom!"
Along the way, numerous terrifying phenomena appeared, causing people to feel terrified.
Finally, they arrived at a dark and desolate place, so silent and utterly barren that it felt like reaching the very end of the universe.
Apart from Shuangshi, everyone else was terrified, instinctively feeling that they could die here if they were not careful.
Ahead, a magnificent dam stretched out, blocking everyone's view.
Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly, like two golden lamps in the dim environment. This was also his first time here. The dam area was indeed extraordinary and lived up to its reputation.
"Ok?"
Shi Hao was filled with doubt and surprise. He saw a brand-new True Immortal corpse on the dam. More than two hundred years ago, when he and two Golden Burial Masters came here, they had not seen that stone corpse. If there were no surprises, it must have been climbed up from the other side of the dam in recent years.
Given the cultivation level of the Heavenly Horned Ants and others, they naturally could not get close to that dam. It would collapse before they even reached it, leaving them with no place to be buried.
Even someone as powerful as Shi Hao couldn't explore the world on the other side of the dam, so he led these young prodigies to the other side.
Holding a willow branch, I crossed the sandy land and headed towards the lightning abyss, the best place for honing my skills.
Shi Hao sat down cross-legged to protect these young prodigies, fearing that something might happen to them.
Shi Yi walked towards the dam alone. The lightning abyss wasn't dangerous; Shi Hao alone was enough to keep watch.
He arrived, standing atop the dam, gazing into the distance. The mist could not obscure his vision. Ripples of the Great Dao spread out in concentric circles, something ordinary cultivators could not perceive. If one was not powerful enough, being struck by the ripples would cause one to instantly explode and die.
"Crash!"
The waves surged and rippled, and a vast, boundless ocean unfolded before Shi Yi.
This is the Boundary Sea, boundless and limitless. Every drop of seawater and every wave is a broken ancient boundary, some dried up, some shattered, and turned into bubbles.
At this stage, the Boundary Sea is relatively calm and peaceful, but every time a wave rises, a large number of ancient realms are destroyed.
Compared to the Boundary Sea, the Boundary Tomb is insignificant. There are too many broken ancient realms here. Different ancient realms, different auras, different interpretations of the Great Dao, collide with each other, creating terrifying ripples of the Great Dao and overflowing with terrifying sea vapor from the Boundary Sea, which can easily crush human beings.
Without the strength of the Immortal Realm, it is impossible to enter the Boundary Sea.
Even true immortals would find it difficult to move forward in such a terrifying ocean.
Shi Yi gazed into the distance. Now, his cultivation was unfathomable, and he was not far from becoming a Celestial King. His gaze was naturally sharp, penetrating through layers of ripples in the Great Dao, and he saw to the farthest reaches.
"help me!"
Not far away, amidst the surging waves, a female immortal was calling for help. She possessed the aura of an immortal and the power of immortality, yet she still could not withstand the rolling waves and slowly sank into the sea.
Further away are islands where creatures sit cross-legged, burning their own bodies to dispel the encroaching mist.
Some seriously injured people were struggling on the sea surface, trying to cross towards the seawall.
Shi Yi also saw beings at the Celestial King level struggling to cross the Boundary Sea, completely unharmed. Without exception, they were all heading this way, seeking their return. (End of Chapter)
