The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils
Chapter 491 Brother, you don't owe me anything anymore.
Shi Hao himself was naturally unaware of this. If he were to find out, it would be too deliberate and a poor move. Perhaps, in some mysterious way, the cause and effect would be altered.
How could Shi Yi, who was well-versed in the principles of cause and effect, not know this?
He remained silent, waiting for the moment to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
Shi Hao cultivated with even more vigor. His only goal now was to catch up with his brother's footsteps, from being able to enter the Immortal Embryo to staying in the Immortal Embryo permanently, and then to breaking through to become a true Immortal Emperor.
Time goes by.
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years...
The corpse of the Immortal Emperor in the light screen never got up. He lay back on the imperial throne, the chains of order on his body motionless and without making a sound, as if he were truly dead.
But Shuangshi knew that he was just sleeping, accumulating power, and that one day he would awaken and unleash the terrifying might of an Immortal Emperor.
Shi Yi has set a timeframe: 100,000 years.
Ten thousand years later, if there is no external interference, the Corpse Immortal Emperor may still be in a deep sleep, but he will have accumulated enough power in his body to possess the terrifying ability to kill all creatures below the Immortal Emperor level.
Even with that layer of light barrier sealing it, and those chains of divine order, it's useless. After so many eras of biding our time, it's clear we haven't been wasting our time.
In this situation, he could wake up at any time. The two stones' most precious time to cross the river is only 100,000 years, so they cherish it extremely.
Shi Yi's path was clear: he only needed to cross the forbidden sea of suffering, reach the ninth beacon, and then find a way to enter it.
Shi Hao's Dao was equally clear. Since breaking into the Immortal Embryo Realm, he felt that his secret realm technique was returning to its origin, as if he had returned to the time when he used his body as a seed. His entire body seemed to be turning into a seed, and this seed was the seed that would nurture the Immortal Emperor's technique.
When the Immortal Emperor's Law is truly born within the seed, that will likely be the day of ultimate success.
……
Fifty thousand years after the Corpse Immortal Emperor last awoke, Shi Hao finally made another breakthrough. He successfully stood in the realm of permanent immortal embryos, able to stand eternally above the quasi-immortal emperor realm, a transcendent realm where the immortal emperor realm was just around the corner.
At this moment, he was filled with emotion, realizing that he had finally caught up with his brother once again.
However, Shi Hao knew that this was not a true catch-up, but rather that the two had reached the same level.
In terms of striving to become an Immortal Emperor, he has only just qualified, while Shi Yi has been in this field for 50,000 years.
For unparalleled geniuses like them, the protagonists of their era, fifty thousand years is enough to change a great deal.
He would only truly catch up with Shi Yi if one day he and Shi Yi stood before the Immortal Emperor realm and launched an attack on the Immortal Emperor realm.
While pondering, Shi Yi suddenly opened his eyes. In the flow of his gaze, there was a terrifying scene of ancient and modern times flowing within him. His cultivation was becoming more and more powerful, and his whole body was about to turn into a placenta.
At this very moment, above the Forbidden Sea of Bitterness, before the ninth Dao Beacon, Shi Yi's essence, energy, and spirit, riding the Future Dao Flower, arrived at the shore, only one step away from landing. If he wished, he could immediately begin his attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. However, Shi Yi did not do so, but stopped and waited for Shi Hao to join him.
Before this, he wasn't idle or killing time; instead, he went back to hone the eight guiding principles he had already mastered.
Looking back from this vantage point, one gains extraordinary insights and naturally reaps remarkable rewards.
At this moment, Shi Yi opened his eyes and looked at Shi Hao.
"Indeed, in just fifty thousand years, you have entered the realm of permanent immortal embryos. Such a cultivation speed is unprecedented, if not unparalleled," Shi Yi exclaimed in admiration.
He was certain that the Annihilation Elder, the Feather Emperor, the Hong Emperor, and the Cang Emperor could not possibly be that fast.
Shi Hao gave a wry smile.
Fifty thousand years is indeed not slow, but compared to Shi Yi's meteoric rise, it's still not as fast.
“Currently, I have the ability to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but doing so would awaken the Corpse Immortal Emperor. Let’s wait for you to join me; there are still 50,000 years left,” Shi Yi said.
Shi Hao nodded solemnly.
Speaking of which, this is the first time his elder brother has waited for him. In the past, Shi Yi would always walk straight ahead without ever looking back, leaving him with only his back to him most of the time, making him chase after him desperately.
For him to actually say he'd wait for him for 50,000 years is truly unprecedented and the first time such a thing has ever happened.
Shi Hao didn't think much of it.
It is indeed risky for a single person to attempt to become an Immortal Emperor. It could alert a powerful enemy, who might then launch an attack. Another person might not even have the chance to attempt to become an Immortal Emperor before being killed. Never underestimate the terror of an Immortal Emperor.
Over the next 50,000 years, Shi Hao continuously refined the secret realm system, using numerous paths as references to lay an incredibly solid foundation.
He was convinced that the path he was on was the right one. Using himself as a seed was the beginning of the secret realm. In the end, when he challenged the Immortal Emperor, everything about him would return to the level of the "seed." The beginning and the end formed a closed loop.
Shi Yi then turned around and re-examined his eight road signs.
That was the path he came from, the very reason why others could not cultivate the Ascension System. Along the way, he had experienced far too much, and every step he took proved the saying "invincible among those of the same level." Even someone as strong as Shi Hao, who had mastered the Immortal Emperor's Law, was suppressed by him, which shows how powerful Shi Yi was.
At this moment, he stood before the ninth road sign, looking back at the road he had come from, his heart filled with endless emotions.
These landmarks that he had visited still stand on the vast sea. The earlier he reached the landmark, the farther away it is from him now. Suddenly, Shi Yi felt that perhaps this should not be the case.
The Ten Dao Beacons were derived from his Ten Great Grotto-Heavens. Now that he has fully mastered eight of them, there is no reason for him to leave them behind when he takes a step forward.
With this in mind, Shi Yi began his deduction. His eyes shone brightly, and the vertical eye between his brows slowly opened, radiating unparalleled chaotic light. Various scenes appeared within it. Normally, using the double pupils would be enough for deduction, but at this moment, he used the chaotic vertical eye, which made him extremely solemn.
Time passed quickly, and the deadline set by Shi Yi arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ten thousand years have passed, and in all the heavens and myriad realms, there is no news of the Twin Stones. Everyone is worried about their safety, and temples dedicated to the Twin Stone Heavenly Emperors are set up everywhere to worship them.
The catastrophe that swept through all the worlds back then has recovered a lot after 100,000 years of rest and recuperation. However, many worlds have entered the Dharma-ending Age, which is an unstoppable trend.
Immortal Kings can create universes, but they cannot compare to naturally formed great worlds. In addition, the breathing of the Corpse Immortal Emperor has caused a serious loss of the origin of all heavens. Even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to create a world, it would be meaningless. It will take an extremely long time to wait for things to improve.
There is nothing we can do about it.
If they could infinitely create worlds, the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors would have done it long ago; there's no need to wait so long. To put it bluntly, this place is like a field, and the myriad worlds are the fruits that the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors can harvest. Now, the Corpse Immortal Emperor has directly drained this field, making it difficult to bear fruit.
The four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors deserve credit for this. Over the long years, they sacrificed themselves time and time again, gradually improving the condition of the Corpse Immortal Emperor and accumulating increasingly terrifying power, which ultimately caused that terrifying breath.
"I wonder how the Feathered Heavenly Emperor and the others are doing. They've been gone for ten thousand years and will never return." On the dam boundary, the Burial Lord was surrounded by a dense quasi-immortal emperor light, his eyes shining as he gazed at the vast and magnificent boundary sea.
Standing beside him was a burly man, the Butcher. He was on the same level as the Burial Master, with a very strong Quasi-Immortal Emperor aura, but he just couldn't break through that barrier.
"We can only do what we're supposed to do; no one can keep up with the pace of the two Heavenly Emperors," the Butcher murmured.
Back in the era of Emperor Luo, he stood on the same level as the two Heavenly Emperors. However, with the passage of time and the changing of the world, he has fallen behind the two stones and can no longer catch up. He can only look up at their backs.
Among the myriad realms of the present day, the four complete worlds—the Immortal Realm, the Otherworld, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Burial Realm—stand out as particularly unique.
Apart from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which are still in the Dharma-ending Age, the other three worlds are all great worlds very suitable for cultivation, and naturally became the first choice for Immortal Kings to settle down.
However, these four great worlds are related to the Twin Stones. Under the intimidation of the two Heavenly Emperors, these Immortal Kings dared not act rashly. Besides, the butcher, the burial master, the chicken farmer, and the fake medicine seller were all there, so no one dared to have any crooked thoughts.
The four great worlds themselves are not ordinary in strength. They are not lacking in giants and supreme giants. Many veteran immortal kings have returned and joined the four great worlds.
Ultimately, the various factions still need an absolutely powerful force to deter and guide them. After all, the vast majority of Immortal Kings are beings who returned from the Boundary Sea. If it weren't for the Twin Stones deterring them, they would never have been able to live in peace like this.
This is an invisible hidden danger, and both of them are aware of it. However, they have more important things to do now and don't have time to pay attention to these things.
Beyond the Boundary Sea, in the deepest part of the Ultimate Ancient Land, amidst the vast black mist, Shi Yi, after countless deductions, was already confident in his ability to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
Shi Hao is not to be outdone. He is now only one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor and has already developed a concrete method to achieve this.
The two exchanged a glance, both knowing that a great battle was about to break out. Whether they were breaking through in front of the light curtain or far away in the myriad worlds when they were trying to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, it was all the same to the Corpse Immortal Emperor. He could sense it instantly and was being strangled across the boundless void. Therefore, the two stones did not move their positions and chose to break through in place.
"Little brother, do you believe me?"
Shi Yi suddenly spoke up like this.
Shi Hao paused for a moment, then nodded without hesitation. The two had gone from being enemies to fighting side by side, having gone through countless trials and tribulations together, and had long since established an extraordinary tacit understanding and trust.
After receiving this answer, Shi Yi sighed.
"I owe you something for digging out your bones back then." This was the first time in so many years that he had mentioned the past.
It was like a taboo subject between the two of them; they never talked about it.
Shi Hao's eyes flickered, as if recalling the past, then he smiled and shook his head.
"Brother, you don't owe me anything." Without saying much, just this one sentence revealed the cause and effect between the two brothers.
Back then, when Shi Yi was digging out Shi Hao's bones, he felt indebted to Shi Hao. However, he later helped Shi Hao a lot, and Shi Hao no longer hated him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Shi Yi "brother."
"If you trust me, when we break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and awaken the corpse, you should wield the Great Luo Sword Embryo and attack the corpse. During this process, do not let him retract the Immortal Emperor mark in the temple," Shi Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was surprised, not expecting Shi Yi to say such a thing.
From his perspective, Shi Yi was asking him to take action, to hold off the Corpse Immortal Emperor and buy him time to break through to the next realm.
Shi Hao was not offended by this; on the contrary, he thought it was the right thing to do.
He knew Shi Yi's strength; Shi Yi was able to steadily suppress him at the same level. If he could buy Shi Yi time to break through and successfully reach the Immortal Emperor realm, he believed that the incomplete Immortal Emperor Corpse Emperor would be no match for Shi Yi.
At that time, regardless of whether Shi Hao lives or dies, the dark turmoil will come to an end. This is his lifelong wish, and he is willing to give his life for it.
Between two people, one of them has to step up and fight to the death; that's inevitable. Otherwise, if the Corpse Immortal Emperor takes advantage of their breakthrough and strikes a fatal blow, they will lose everything.
"Hehe, in the past, it was always the older brother who sheltered the younger brother from the wind and rain. Now, it's finally the younger brother's turn to hold up the sky for the older brother." Shi Hao chuckled lightly, very carefree, with a kind of resoluteness.
To risk one's life and fight against an Immortal Emperor when one is not one's own requires courage, and not everyone has such spirit.
"Thank you, little brother. This is the last time." Shi Yi patted Shi Hao on the shoulder.
Shi Hao understood immediately.
Immediately, they all began to attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
Despite the overwhelming resistance, Shi Yi took a step toward the magnificent ninth landmark. He had been preparing for this step for a long time, accumulating experience over the years.
The result was smooth. His step landed successfully on the ninth Dao Beacon. At that moment, the shackles were torn open, and the world of the Immortal Emperor's Domain was presented to Shi Yi. It was incomparably magnificent, and the supreme Dao rules were beyond the imagination of those who resided in the Immortal Embryo.
Only when one truly steps into the realm of the Immortal Emperor can one understand how vast this gap is.
This is just the first step. To truly enter the Immortal Emperor realm, you need to take the other step as well.
However, Shi Yi could not take that second step. The reason was simple: the resistance was overwhelming, engulfing his body and involving ancient and modern times, cause and effect, fate, etc. It was trying to forcefully push him back. This was an obstacle that Shi Yi had never encountered before. Even someone as powerful as him felt powerless.
"Roar!"
Shi Yi roared, and layers of light feathers fell from his body. He used the Feather Transformation Technique, intending to leap into a completely new realm. The aura of an Immortal Emperor emanated from his body.
At the same time, Shi Hao was also doing his best to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
He exuded a hazy, clear light, embodying the Dao and appearing perfectly natural. From afar, he resembled a seed of the Dao, with all the gates within his body open, demonstrating the ultimate use of his body as a seed.
In the end, Shi Hao transformed into a seed, mysterious and unpredictable.
That was a seed formed from the Great Dao, within which dwells a being who comprehends the Great Dao and manifests his invincible techniques. At this moment, the aura of an Immortal Emperor permeates the air. (End of Chapter)
