The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

A connection was immediately established between the two; the bell tolled softly, and the small shield glowed faintly.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Silent Peak revealed a look of joy.

If these two things could be combined into one, the power would not be able to return to its peak, but it would certainly be much stronger than the bell corpse alone.

"What does Fellow Daoist Shi wish to exchange for this Bell Soul? As long as your request isn't too unreasonable, you can make it," the Lord of the Silent Extinction Peak murmured.

Since Shi Yi took out the Soul Bell, he certainly didn't just take it for show; he must have something in mind.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and stated the conditions for the exchange.

"What? Fellow Daoist is about to become an Immortal King?" The Lord of Silent Extinction Peak was greatly surprised, thinking he had misheard.

Shi Yi is so young, yet he's already about to become a Celestial King. This speed is simply unbelievable.

Hundreds of years ago, he had just become an immortal in the mortal world.

The Immortal King of Silent Peak was shocked. This was too fast, and with Shi Yi's current strength, advancing to the Immortal King level was almost inevitable.

"Are you sure he'll target you, fellow Daoist?"

"I once plotted to seize a corner of the Reincarnation Disc in the mortal realm," Shi Yi said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Silent Peak understood that this was indeed a cause and effect. Back when Shi Yi advanced into the Mortal Realm, the forbidden zone of life did not send a congratulatory gift, and there was a reason for it.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Zhong Hun was very important to him, and if it was just to stop that being, it was entirely worthwhile.

"In that case, I'll give the Soul Bell to you, fellow Daoist." Shi Yi smiled and tossed the small shield to the other party.

The peak master of Silent Extinction Peak was overjoyed and immediately fused the bell corpse and bell soul together.

"Buzz!"

A radiant light emanated from the great bell, causing it to tremble slightly and emit an ethereal chime. Instantly, a phantom river of time appeared.

The endless bell is finally complete.

The Lord of Silent Peak revealed a look of joy.

Seeing Shi Yi's sincerity, he also gave a corresponding response, swearing on the Immortal King Dao that he would not allow the other forbidden zone master mentioned by Shi Yi to interfere with his tribulation in the slightest.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now." Shi Yi bid farewell and then left the Silent Extinction Peak.

Beneath his feet, the laws of the Great Dao flowed, as if a long river of time lay across him. With just one step, he traveled from one forbidden zone of life to another.

This wasn't Shi Yi's first time at Fallen Immortal Ridge; in fact, it was his third. Each time he came, his strength underwent a dramatic transformation. This time, he was even able to stand on equal footing with the master of this forbidden zone, addressing him as a peer.

Inside the restricted area, the golden-haired beast suddenly opened its eyes, which shone with a dazzling golden light. A look of surprise appeared on its face, and its heart was filled with unease.

A true immortal possesses formidable combat power comparable to that of an immortal king. This is truly unique in the long history of humanity. No wonder he is a being who has ascended to immortality from the mortal world.

After a brief moment of reflection, the Golden-haired Hou personally came down from the mountain to greet him. He had a vague premonition that Shi Yi's arrival would be a rare opportunity for their Golden-haired Hou clan.

"Fellow Daoist, it's been hundreds of years since we last met, and you've actually reached this level," the Golden-haired Hou exclaimed.

"It's alright, it just happened naturally," Shi Yi replied.

The two entered the Fallen Immortal Ridge and sat on stone chairs. The Golden-haired Hou asked him why he had come.

“Brother Dao, the Great Rectification is coming, and all the heavens and myriad realms will be affected. There will be no truly peaceful and tranquil place in the world. Even the Fallen Immortal Ridge will probably be inevitably swept up in it. At that time, even a powerful Immortal King like you will find it difficult to guarantee that you will survive unscathed.”

The golden-haired beast nodded in agreement. Indeed, the most terrifying purge in history was about to begin. At that time, there would be no pure land left in the world. Great realms like the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld would probably be the safest places, where many Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings would band together for mutual support and protection against the risks.

As for the isolated forbidden zone like Fallen Immortal Ridge, it would most likely be affected. He also has enemies, and if he didn't die in the Boundary Sea and came back to fight, then a battle would definitely be inevitable.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, please speak frankly. If it is truly beneficial to our clan, I will make the necessary choices," the golden-haired beast said.

Seeing this, Shi Yi stopped beating around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"I am about to undergo the Immortal King Tribulation. In the Immortal Realm, Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu will try to block my path. My allies in the Immortal Realm can hold off two of them. There is one left, and I need fellow Daoists to help me hold him off for a while. At that time, my clan's ancestor, the former master of the Cross Yin-Yang Land, and several fellow Daoists with incomplete cultivation will also make a move, but they are not in good condition and cannot buy enough time."

"Does Fellow Daoist Shi mean for me to hold off Ao Sheng for a moment? To prevent him from interfering with your Immortal King Tribulation?"

“Exactly. As long as we delay for a while, and I pass the Immortal King Tribulation, then you will have fulfilled your promise, Fellow Daoist.” Shi Yi nodded slightly.

The golden-haired beast frowned. He was somewhat intimidated by the Supreme Immortal King, as he was no match for him. However, it was not impossible for him to stall for a while.

"What are your conditions, fellow Daoist?" he asked.

Whether or not to make a move is not determined by other factors, but by whether the conditions offered by Shi Yi are tempting enough.

"My condition is to help your entire clan return to the Immortal Realm. As long as you return to the Immortal Realm, even if a great purge breaks out, your clan will survive and you will not have to live in fear," Shi Yi said softly.

"Return to the Immortal Realm? It's not that I underestimate you, but the Immortal Realm isn't a place where anyone can have their own say. Back then, they wouldn't let my clan return. What makes you think you can change the Immortal Realm's mind?" The golden-haired beast was somewhat skeptical.

"Based on my strength and my Dao Fruit," Shi Yi said.

The next moment, his body was filled with celestial light, and four magnificent rivers swirled around him. His whole body was radiant with golden light, and he had actually used the Undying Scripture. At the same time, his brow split open, revealing an indescribable chaotic eye.

The golden-haired beast revealed a strange expression. No wonder this creature was so confident. When Shi Yi displayed this state, even someone as powerful as him was somewhat wary.

He pondered for a long time, then finally sighed and decided to take a gamble.

"Becoming an immortal in the mortal world" and "achieving true immortality comparable to an immortal king"—these two things are enough for him to place a bet.

The signs of a major purge are already visible; if we don't do something soon, it will truly be too late.

Even if this move offends Ao Sheng's faction, it doesn't matter. If Shi Yi succeeds in transcending the tribulation, he can completely side with Shi Yi. Even if he fails, Ao Sheng won't come after him for this matter.

Moreover, is there a perfect solution in this world? There are no such things as perfect outcomes; if you want to gain something, you have to give something in return.

“Alright, I agree. If Ao Sheng comes, I will join forces with those fellow Daoists to do our best to hold him off for a while.” The Golden-haired Hou made its decision and agreed to Shi Yi’s conditions.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you have great courage."

Shi Yi chuckled softly.

Afterwards, the two made a vow to each other. Among the Celestial Kings, cause and effect are highly valued, and such vows are very binding.

"We'll go hold off Ao Sheng, but what about the people from the forbidden area?" "I already have arrangements," Shi Yi replied, recounting the agreement he had just made with the ruler of the Silent Peak.

"Alright, I hope that you will be able to successfully overcome the Immortal King Tribulation." The golden-haired beast sighed.

Not long after, Shi Yi left the Fallen Immortal Ridge and gained two allies from the forbidden zones. Now, only the final move is needed: the Pan King of the Immortal Realm.

There is no karmic connection between him and Pan Wang; he can only rely on the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

We'll just have to wait for the Peach Banquet hundreds of years from now.

Standing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, overlooking all directions, Shi Yi saw the struggles of the Dharma-ending Age, the transcendent forbidden zone of life, and the anchor point for the Immortal Kings of the Boundary Seas who were eager to return.

He had a premonition that a great upheaval was about to unfold. With his current strength, he was qualified to participate in it, but without the decisive power, he could only drift along with the tide.

If a great battle were to break out here, it would be hard to imagine what the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would be like. He must overcome this calamity and catch up. Only in this way can he turn the tide.

Having achieved his goal, Shi Yi did not linger in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but returned to the lower realm to make final preparations.

Although he was somewhat confident that he could break through the obstacles and enter the realm of the Immortal King, he had to make two preparations. What would happen to his relatives and friends if he failed?
Shi Yi found Shi Hao and told him what had happened.

The game between the Immortal Kings involved Shi Yi had unexpectedly come to him, which made Shi Hao feel flattered. He could understand Shi Yi's worries, and in the end, Shi Hao made a promise that if Shi Yi failed to survive the great tribulation, he would take care of Shi Yi's relatives and friends.

In a sense, Shi Yi was a pioneer, and his successes and failures were of great reference value to Shi Hao.

"Good luck." Shi Hao didn't know what else to say, so he could only say this.

Shi Yi nodded and turned to leave.

For the next few hundred years, he sat cross-legged in the Wushuang Hall, watching the rise and fall of the river of time. In those past years, tall and majestic figures stood, each a Celestial King, powerful and incomparable, their might shaking the ages.

At the same time, he was also deducing the tribulations he was about to face. Whether it was a physical tribulation or a primordial spirit tribulation, Shi Yi was not afraid and had made full preparations.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

On this day, Shi Hao arrived and summoned Chi Long. They were going to the Boundary Tomb to search for the Invincible Seed and see if they could find another path to advance to the Supreme level.

The Heavenly Horned Ants, Crimson Dragons, and others still couldn't break through that hurdle. Shi Hao thought that there were invincible seeds in the Boundary Tomb that might be able to provide some help.

Back then, when Shi Yi fused with the Chaos Seed, he consumed some of it, but there were others, such as the Myriad Dao Tree protected by immortal beings, which might still be there.

Inside the Wushuang Hall, Shi Yi quietly watched all of this. He knew it was coming soon.

If all goes as expected, Shi Hao will encounter people from the Ao Sheng lineage of the Immortal Realm during this trip to the Boundary Tomb, and a conflict will ensue. In the end, Shi Hao will emerge victorious, taking away the Myriad Dao Tree. At the same time, Qing Yi's disciple will extend an invitation to Shi Hao to attend the Peach Banquet a hundred years from now.

With this opportunity, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone can enter the Immortal Realm and then make his final move, "King Pan".

Shi Yi remained calm and undisturbed; all of this was within his expectations.

Sure enough, when Shi Hao returned, he brought back the Myriad Dao Tree. This tree was quite amazing, with fruit hanging on it, each with a different shape, representing a different Dao.

Within the ancient immortal laws, it is a flawless and invincible species; whoever can merge with it will become a supreme being of the same level.

Shi Yi did not go to experience the Myriad Dao Tree; such a thing was no longer useful to him.

Shi Hao came over and told him about the Peach Banquet. He wanted to go and was not afraid of being targeted, but he still had to be careful.

"Your destiny lies in the Immortal Realm. Back then, I obtained a period of imperial decline through that heaven-reaching place, and so can you."

"Here are three drops of my essence blood, comparable to the essence blood of a Celestial King. Take them and give them to your master so he can use them properly." Shi Yi spoke, extending his palm. Three dazzling clumps of essence blood floated on it, like three blazing suns, containing a vast ocean of vitality. Moreover, holy feathers of light occasionally drifted down, making it incomparably sacred.

The three drops of essence blood fell into Shi Hao's hands. Shi Yi had already concealed the killing intent and power within them; otherwise, Shi Hao would not have been able to withstand these three drops of essence blood.

“Alright.” Shi Hao nodded solemnly, took the three drops of essence blood and left for the Yin-Yang Cross Land in the Heavenly Domain to meet the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Looking at the three drops of essence blood, how could the Lord of the Forbidden Zone not know Shi Yi's intention? He put them away.

Afterwards, Shi Hao told the Lord of the Forbidden Zone about the Peach Banquet.

Upon hearing this, the master of the restricted area smiled.

"This day has finally come. I have been waiting for it for a long time."

He glanced at Shi Hao, noticing the confusion in his eyes, and then offered a few explanations.

Then, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone told Shi Hao that he would give him a chance.

"Is it a chance encounter, like Shi Yi's, to go back to the past and gain access to a period of time?" A glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.

Time is of the essence, and this is not only a problem for Shi Yi, but also for him. Therefore, he longs to rise quickly and to be like Shi Yi, honing his skills over the years and accumulating experience in the mortal world.

"There is such an opportunity, but no one knows exactly what will happen. Throughout history, countless beings have gone there, but the vast majority of beings have not even had the chance to enter. Even if they do enter, whether they can obtain great fortune is another matter."

"In short, it's worth a try," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone replied.

"If you go to the Peach Banquet, you will likely be ambushed by a Celestial King. Someone like Ao Sheng, if he senses something, will not care about his status as a Celestial King. To him, it is nothing more than killing an insignificant little insect."

It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

"We need something that can make him wary. What happened to what you obtained in the Great Crimson Heaven? Are you still here?"

Shi Hao was slightly taken aback. He took out half a stick of incense, on which were engraved two ancient characters: "World Annihilation".

"Is it this one?"

The master of the penalty area nodded.

"With it, we have a chance to leave safely; otherwise, even Panwang cannot protect us, and we will surely die without a burial place."

"Oh, and what about those three fellow Daoists? Bring them along too; they might be of great use in a critical moment."

Shi Hao nodded, left the Cross Yin-Yang Land, and headed to the Western Mausoleum Realm to inform them of his plans to go to the Immortal Realm.

“We will go with you,” the crystal skull said softly.

A century has passed. Shi Hao, carrying the crystal skull, the dripping eyeball, the golden hand bone, and the skull of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, embarks on his journey to the Peach Banquet. (End of Chapter)
