Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 264 Identity Confirmed, Shi Yi's Killing Intent

When the Holy Maiden of No Birth saw the words on the stone tablet in front of her, her face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Although her physical injuries had not healed, they were not fatal.

After taking the healing pills, I have been slowly recovering. Now I can only wait, and I will be fully recovered in a while.

In the eyes of the Unborn Saintess, compared to the opportunity before her, the injuries on her body were not so important. It would take at least half a month to fully recover.

The Dreamstorm Sword Sect, a major sect from the Middle Ages, must hold abundant opportunities.

On her way here, she discovered that many ancient spiritual plants were growing here. She collected quite a few along the way and put them in her storage space.

"This sword mountain before us must be the training ground of the Dream Mist Sword Sect?"

The Saintess of No Life looked at the unusual, continuous sword mountain, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

This kind of scene is extremely rare for her.

The sword here should be a weapon left behind by a disciple of the Menglan Sword Sect.

The swords piled up into a continuous mountain, which shows just how powerful the Menglan Sword Sect was back then.

The Wusheng Sect, to which she belonged, was utterly insignificant compared to him.

"The opening of the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand Worlds this time is likely due to the instability of the space within the Dream Mist Ruins, which is why the entrance to the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand Worlds appeared within the Dream Mist Ruins."

"So I might not be the only one who came in here."

“There may even be people who arrived here before me and are already looking for opportunities inside.”

"I have already taken healing pills, and my injuries can only heal slowly. The Daoist arts consume the power of faith, which requires the replenishment of the faith of all living beings. I cannot return to my peak state here in a short time."

"In that case, I don't need to waste time repairing!"

"Let's go into Kenzan and see what's going on."

The Saintess of No Life felt her physical injuries slowly healing.

She focused on Taoist cultivation, so her martial arts skills were not high, which was a major reason for her physical injuries.

If her martial arts cultivation was strong enough, she wouldn't have been affected by the aftershocks of the battle, as her physical body could withstand the damage from them.

Even if her physical body fully recovers now, her combat power will not increase significantly.

As for the injuries on Yin Shen, they were not very serious, because she had consumed more of her faith power.

The power of faith in all beings, combined with the "Sutra of the Future of All Beings," can boost her combat strength in a short period of time, but this consumes a great deal of resources.

To replenish this depletion, she needs to absorb the power of faith from believers again; it cannot be compensated for through cultivation alone.

Furthermore, now that the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand Worlds has appeared, there may be other people who have also obtained opportunities. At this time, it is necessary to seize every second and try to obtain as many opportunities as possible.

If you're a step too slow, you might miss the opportunity.

As far as she knew, no one had entered the Azure Mist Small Realm before, so those who entered first had a greater advantage.

There might even be an opportunity that helps her break through to the realm of immortals.

If she can obtain it, not only will her injuries to her Yin spirit be fully restored, but she will also be able to advance further.

She is different from the people in the Wusheng Sect; she is capable of breaking through to the realm of immortals, and her growth potential is still very high.

With such an opportunity right in front of her, the Holy Maiden of No Life naturally wouldn't miss it.

With a slight thought, the Saintess of Immortality stepped into the Sword Mountain.

In an instant, the scene before her eyes changed dramatically.

"This person is also undergoing the first trial, but the aura around her feels strangely familiar."

"If I had seen her, I should remember her."

"Or maybe she disguised herself, or someone I've met before disguised herself!"

Shi Yi saw the Holy Maiden of No Life walk into the Sword Mountain.

The aura emanating from the other person puzzled him, but he quickly came to a guess.

After all, he had disguised himself at this moment.

He has the ability to see through illusions, but he doesn't use it all the time, since it takes a toll on him when he does.

He wouldn't bother checking if it were just an ordinary person.

"This is the power of faith, from the people of the Wusheng Sect."

“I know who you are now, Eternal Mother. No wonder you feel familiar to me. I have indeed encountered this aura before.”

Shi Yi recognized the other party when he saw them using their Daoist cultivation during the trial!
He had seen the auras of both Wusheng Laomu and Gu Qianqiu when they clashed.

The aura emanating from those believers of non-birth was somewhat similar, yet also quite different.

This is also why Shi Yi initially felt it was somewhat familiar.

He had never seen the other party's appearance before, because the physical body of the Eternal Mother had not appeared when he fought Gu Qianqiu.

Both were in a state of Yin spirits leaving their bodies at that time, and they used their magical forms to clash, causing great commotion.

“The Eternal Mother must possess the faith and cultivation methods of the Eternal Mother Sect.”

"Her breathing is unstable; she seems to be injured!"

"Their overall combat strength is definitely much weaker."

“She is still undergoing trials and cannot see me, which seems like a good opportunity for me.”

"This guy even tried to kill me before, now I have a chance to repay his 'gratitude'!"

Shi Yi's gaze turned towards the direction of the Eternal Mother, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He naturally wanted to repay this person properly!

After all, if he hadn't achieved success in martial arts cultivation at that time, he would have really died at the hands of his opponent!

At that time, it was just a matter of killing Shi Yi on a whim, because she noticed that Shi Yi had shown extremely strong talent in cultivation and had also caught the attention of Gu Qianqiu.

The Eternal Mother attacked him in an attempt to kill this cultivation genius in advance, so as to prevent him from becoming a member of the Taiyi Sect.

"She's in the open while I'm in the dark, so I can make some preparations and try to make a move against her."

"I still have quite a few things in my possession, so I'll just use them to test the power of the Daoist master, the Eternal Mother."

"The physical martial arts cultivation of the Eternal Mother is only at the level of the initial stage of the fascia tempering warrior, and her physical combat strength is not considered strong."

"If we can destroy her physical body, it will also destroy her path of cultivation, and she won't live much longer."

"If I can destroy her spirit, I might gain something else. Even if I can't destroy her spirit, I can still leave safely."

Once you find the physical body of a cultivator, targeting them becomes relatively simple.

Aside from Daoist masters at the immortal level, even those at the peak of the "Sitting in Oblivion" stage still rely on their physical bodies for longevity.

Without a physical body, the spirit will inevitably dissipate slowly, eventually vanishing completely.

Since he wanted to attack someone, he naturally aimed for a fatal spot, wanting the person to feel pain.

Shi Yi had a slight thought, and then TNT, bombs, and other items appeared in his hand.

He had previously stored these items in his Bodhi Seed Space, intending to use them to deal with those stronger than him.

It's just that I haven't needed it before, but now that I've met the Eternal Mother, it's perfect timing.

Shi Yi had just completed the first trial route atop Sword Mountain, so he was very familiar with the route.

Seeing the location of the Eternal Mother, he could make arrangements in advance.

The reason he didn't approach directly was that as a highly skilled cultivator, getting too close would allow him to sense the presence of others, which was not the outcome Shi Yi wanted.

"Set up the trap first, and wait for her to come." "The first objective is to destroy her physical body."

The Eternal Mother appeared young and beautiful, but in Shi Yi's eyes, she was an enemy.

He never held back when dealing with enemies.

As for enemies, for Shi Yi, only dead enemies are good enemies.

He hoped that the Eternal Mother would be a good enemy, so that he could spend less energy on her.

"The trials of the Dream Mist Sword Sect are actually trials of the physical body."

"Fortunately, I can use Taoist techniques to enhance my physical body here, otherwise, with my martial arts cultivation, I would really be unable to move an inch."

As the Holy Maiden of No Life entered the Sword Mountain and ascended the trial steps, she felt a powerful force pressing down on her physical body.

Her talent in martial arts cultivation was average, and she didn't spend too much time on it.

The reason she was able to advance to the warrior level of tempering fascia was also due to the result of her spending a lot of cultivation resources.

The Unborn Saintess knew the importance of the physical body, but she was also able to make a choice between the two.

Her Taoist cultivation has already reached the level of "sitting in oblivion" (坐忘). The next step will lead to the realm of immortals, at which point she will be able to live a carefree and immortal life.

Under these circumstances, it would be easy for her to make the choice that best suits her.

However, she did not expect that the first trial here at the Dream Mist Sword Sect would be a test of the physical body's ability to withstand pressure.

If it weren't for her mastery of Taoist techniques that could enhance physical strength, she would have been unable to proceed by now!
"The stairs here seem to have no end."

"Even those martial arts masters won't go very far."

"The Menglan Sword Sect's trials for its disciples should not be like this."

"Could it be that this situation is caused by my use of Taoist magic?"

The Eternal Mother frowned slightly.

Every step she takes now is a burden, and it's getting heavier and heavier.

The upward staircase in front of them seemed endless, with no end in sight.

This made her feel uneasy.

She had previously seen on Sword Mountain that it was the training ground for disciples of the Dream Mist Sword Sect, through which they could obtain the inheritance of the Dream Mist Sword Sect.

She didn't believe that all the disciples of the Dream Mist Sword Sect were experts who had reached the realm of immortals, and that they were able to come here to obtain the core inheritance.

This is somewhat unreasonable. After all, even though there were many powerful figures in the medieval era, reaching the realm of immortals was a huge hurdle, and not many people could achieve it.

Very few people in a sect can break through to this level.

On her way up the stairs, she used Taoist magic to conduct trials, which was also the source of her suspicions.

Are there any restrictions on the trials?

"No, the Dream Mist Sword Sect is a place where Dao and martial arts are practiced together. When the disciples cultivate, they will inevitably have different styles. It is very rare for a disciple to be strong in both cultivation methods."

"Some people choose to focus on Taoist principles, while others naturally focus on martial arts."

"This trial should not restrict one's cultivation level in Daoist arts."

The Holy Maiden of No Birth thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.

She felt there was something wrong with this assumption.

However, if this idea is flawed, it means that her current methods are sound, and the upward ladder ahead still seems endless.

The problem might lie on the steps.

"Could it be that the trial of this level is not simply about climbing upwards, but something else, perhaps there are other points that I haven't noticed?"

The Saintess of Immortality reacted quickly.

She was able to achieve the state of meditation in her early twenties, which was not only due to the power of her cultivation techniques and faith, but also to her talent and comprehension in cultivation.

Otherwise, if just anyone could be like her, then the Wusheng Sect would have long since cultivated many Daoist masters at the Silent Meditation Realm, and its overall strength would be incomparable to what it is now.

Even if the Great Putuo Temple had possessed the "Sutra of the Future of All Beings" back then, it would not have been destroyed.

When a force becomes powerful enough, it will turn around and devour other forces!
The method of practice is only part of it; more importantly, it depends on the person.

If a person is not capable, no matter how many precious scriptures on spiritual practice they possess, it will be of no use.

The Holy Maiden of No Birth possesses many cultivation methods, but those who can cultivate to her level so quickly are extremely rare.

"The steps here must be an illusion."

"Open your discerning eye."

Once the Holy Maiden of No Birth understood these things, a Dharma image appeared above her head.

Above the Dharma image, the Buddha's wise eyes opened.

In an instant, everything before her eyes was clearly seen by the Holy Maiden of No Life.

Having understood everything, the Saintess of No Life stepped off the sword, and the heavy pressure on her body instantly disappeared.

"I see."

"The staircase is just part of the trial, a smokescreen."

"The real test is to see through these illusions."

"Huh, this power on the ground is actually helping me heal."

"Indeed, my choice was the right one."

The Holy Maiden of No Life stepped off the sword, feeling much more relaxed.

At that moment, she felt the power surging into her body from the ground.

This force is helping her heal.

"If there are such opportunities here, there will definitely be even more opportunities if we continue to go further in."

"If I could obtain the pure Yang thoughts of a Tribulation Immortal, I might be able to directly transform my Yin Spirit into pure Yang. At that time, not only would the injuries on my Yin Spirit be fully healed, but my cultivation of Dao techniques would also advance further."

"Even if one's Yin spirit transforms into pure Yang at the Silent Meditation Realm, one's combat power will be comparable to that of a master at the Immortal Realm."

"If I advance to the realm of immortals, I will ascend to the heavens in one step and directly surpass those veteran immortals."

"Even those old guys in the Taiyi Sect are no match for me!"

The Holy Maiden of No Life gazed into the depths of Sword Mountain, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

Although the opportunities before her were not bad and she could use them, they were not the opportunities she wanted.

She wanted more because she carried more responsibility.

With her current level of Taoist cultivation, she is not yet capable of shouldering these responsibilities. She must become stronger to be able to bear the burden of these duties.

For these reasons, she was naturally willing to take risks when the opportunity arose, just to gain something.

"burst!"

As the Saintess of No Life felt the power emanating from the ground aiding her recovery, Shi Yi, standing some distance away, smiled slightly and then spoke.

The other party appeared within the blast radius he had set.

Even if the opponent has any trump cards to protect them, they will definitely have to use them at this point.

The explosion was just one part of the trap he set.
