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

After the Menglan Ruins were closed, people from all the major factions left the ruins of Qianfeng Mountain.

Some people leave alone, looking wary, avoiding contact with others, and quietly departing.

Some people, however, harbor ill intentions; after staring at someone, they quietly leave.
On the Jiuli Bronze Flying Boat, Shi Yi and the others could see all of this, but they didn't interfere.

Those who come to the Menglan Ruins seeking opportunities must be prepared to be killed.

The Nine Li Bronze Flying Boat flew back along the same route, directly returning to the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Although there were some unexpected events during the trip to the Menglan Ruins, the Taiyi Sect ultimately gained a good amount of experience.

Gu Qianqiu and his companions ultimately managed to obtain some of the Menglan Sword Sect's inherited cultivation techniques in the Transmission Pavilion area before the Menglan Ruins closed, thus completing their objective.
After the Menglan Ruins closed, the array masters of various forces examined the array traces there and confirmed that the Menglan Ruins would reopen after the next closure. Then, the various forces began to withdraw.

The disciples of Taiyi Sect were all on the flying boat. They flew back to Beiyuan Prefecture without encountering any trouble and returned to their sect smoothly.

Taiyi Dao Gate.

Ancient Moon Peak.

Chengming Palace.

"I never imagined that the new space within the Menglan Ruins would be the true place of inheritance for the Menglan Sword Sect."

"You were able to enter by chance and obtain the Azure Mist Sword Technique through your own efforts. You have both luck and talent, and you have performed very well."

"It's normal that the cultivation technique you have isn't complete. When the Menglan Ruins reopen in the future, your cultivation level will improve, and you'll have another chance to obtain the complete technique. There's no need to worry about it too much."

Gu Qianqiu looked at the Azure Mist Sword Manual in front of him. The contents included Taoist cultivation up to the Dharma Aspect level and martial arts cultivation up to the Innate Grandmaster level. The contents of the manual were very complete.

However, it's a bit of a pity that there's no method for further cultivation.

Gu Qianqiu wasn't surprised by this, because there were others who, like Shi Yi, had the good fortune to enter the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand World. However, not everyone could obtain cultivation techniques like Shi Yi.

Some people were expelled from the Qinglan Lesser Thousand World while collecting spiritual materials inside, while others went to Sword Mountain but couldn't climb it. By the time they finally came out, they had already left the Qinglan Lesser Thousand World.

Some people were lucky enough to see the sword monument and obtain some of the sword techniques. However, these techniques were not as good as the Azure Mist Sword Manual, nor were they as complete as the ones in Shi Yi's possession.

Therefore, compared to other things, it is already quite good that Shi Yi was able to obtain the core cultivation technique of Menglan Sword Sect that can be cultivated to the Dharma Aspect level, not to mention that it is the most precious "Qinglan Sword Manual" in Menglan Sword Sect.

This technique had never been seen before, and it was only brought out by Shi Yi this time that we had the chance to see its true form.

Gu Qianqiu and others were also aware of these circumstances.

When Shi Yi accidentally entered the new space entrance of the Menglan Ruins, he told Gu Qianqiu about it through Lin Wenze the first time he came out of the Menglan Ruins, hoping that Gu Qianqiu could provide some help.

At that time, Lin Wenze and others were worried that something might happen to Shi Yi.

It was only after Gu Qianqiu said that this must be a stroke of luck that Lin Wenze and the others felt much more at ease.

On the way back, Gu Qianqiu did not ask Shi Yi about this matter until Shi Yi came over and told him about the situation in Qinglan Small Thousand Realms, and even took out the "Qinglan Sword Manual".

There are some opportunities that the sect will not ask the disciples for; it is more up to the disciples to choose.

If you are willing to give it up, the sect will naturally compensate you with cultivation techniques, sect contribution points, pills and other resources used for cultivation. If you are not willing to give it up, then you can use it yourself, and the sect will not force you.

After all, in the eyes of the Taiyi Sect, the Golden Crow and Great Sun lineages are the strongest. The rest of the various cultivation techniques are just supplements. No matter how powerful those techniques are, they cannot replace the Golden Crow and Great Sun lineages.

Although the Taiyi Sect also has cultivation methods that are not part of the Golden Crow or Great Sun lineage, their status is far inferior to that of the Golden Crow and Great Sun lineages, and this will not change in the future.

Even if a disciple finds a new cultivation method, the maximum they can achieve is simply to establish a new peak, giving Taiyi Dao disciples one more option. This will not affect the dominant position of the Golden Crow and Great Sun lineages within Taiyi Dao.

The higher-ups of the Taiyi Sect understand this principle, because from the very beginning, the Taiyi Sect has focused on the cultivation methods of the Golden Crow and Great Sun lineages, and this will remain the only way forward.

"With the fact that you found this cultivation manual and know about the Qinglan Lesser Thousand World, the sect will give you enough sect contribution points and special medicine exchange privileges."

"Your current cultivation level has reached the Golden Core stage, and you are only one step away from breaking through to the Dharma Aspect stage."

"You can complete the 'Golden Crow Carrying the Sun' painting you have, and then exchange it for some cultivation resources that can help condense a Dharma image."

"Once you advance to the Dharma Aspect Realm, you can cultivate in seclusion for a period of time and then try to take the core disciple assessment!"

Gu Qianqiu continued, offering advice suitable for Shi Yi.

Those who returned safely from the Menglan Ruins all gained something from this trip, and their cultivation of Daoist arts will definitely see a significant improvement in the coming period.

In Gu Qianqiu's eyes, the "Azure Mist Sword Manual" obtained by Shi Yi was very important to the Taiyi Sect. It was not just about having another profound inheritance; it was also a certificate for entering the Menglan Ruins and obtaining the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand World.

Indeed, Gu Qianqiu's goal is the Azure Mist Lesser Thousand World. If the Taiyi Sect can obtain such an opportunity, it will be of great help to the Taiyi Sect.

Furthermore, the Azure Mist Sword Technique can be used as both a primary cultivation method and a defensive technique, and to a certain extent, it is sufficient to compensate for some of the offensive and defensive methods of the Taiyi Sect in sword fighting.

Although the cultivation technique only reached the Dharma Aspect Realm, Gu Qianqiu still gained some insights from it, which shows that it was not simple.

As for martial arts, Gu Qianqiu felt it wasn't that useful, but it was a good choice for those with talent in martial arts cultivation.

In terms of physical tempering, the Azure Mist Sword Technique has its unique aspects and differs from current martial arts methods of physical tempering. However, its tempering effect has a very high upper limit.

Gu Qianqiu estimated that if the Martial Arts Chapter is completed, it is possible to cultivate to the level of Human Immortal.

In martial arts techniques, this is naturally of a very high level.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me."

Shi Yi bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He took out a portion of the Azure Mist Sword Manual. Besides telling Gu Qianqiu about his situation in the Azure Mist Minor World and making some contributions to the sect, he also wanted to exchange it for some sect contribution points.

Shi Yi plans to go into seclusion for a period of time to fully transform his gains in the Qinglan Lesser Thousand World into strength, both in martial arts and Dao techniques.

If he hadn't been expelled by the world power of the Azure Mist Small Thousand World, he would have continued cultivating there for a while, since the cultivation environment there was quite good.

He had naturally made preparations in advance for this secluded cultivation, as it required a considerable amount of sect contribution points.

"Go back and go into seclusion for a while to properly digest what you've gained at the Menglan Ruins."

"I look forward to you becoming a new core disciple of Guyue Peak."

Gu Qianqiu looked at Shi Yi and said with a serious expression.

He had always been optimistic about Shi Yi, and now that Shi Yi's cultivation in Daoist arts had surpassed that of others, it proved that his opinion was correct.

Gu Qianqiu believed that if Shi Yi cultivated diligently for the next period of time, he should be able to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Because Shi Yi's cultivation of Daoist techniques was very profound, it was speculated that it was related to the opportunities within the Qinglan Lesser Thousand Worlds, but he did not inquire further.

"Yes, disciple will certainly live up to master's expectations."

Shi Yi replied solemnly and then left Chengming Hall. After leaving Chengming Hall, Shi Yi did not return to his residence, but went to Lin Wenze's residence, because Lin Wenze and others asked him to come over, saying that they wanted to share the spoils of their cooperation in Menglan Ruins and have a get-together.

The harvest they made together in the medicinal herb garden area should be distributed according to the agreement.

In fact, Lin Wenze and the others also mentioned the Seven Nights Golden Scale Flower, saying that they could only bring it back safely with Shi Yi's help, but Shi Yi directly refused!
Shi Yi was well aware of the effects of the Seven Nights Golden Scale Flower on the group. His current cultivation level was not as simple as it appeared. Furthermore, even with the cultivation level he displayed, he no longer needed the Seven Nights Golden Scale Flower.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenze and the others thanked him for his kindness once again, and then said that the shared harvest in the previous herb garden would increase Shi Yi's share, and they wouldn't let Shi Yi refuse.

He even specifically mentioned that their lives were far more valuable than the harvest from those medicinal gardens.

Seeing this, Shi Yi did not refuse.

When making friends, it's natural to be mindful of boundaries.

Lin Wenze's residence is not far from Shi Yi's residence.

Not long after, Shi Yi arrived at Lin Wenze's residence.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Lin Wenze had already prepared exotic beast meat, dishes, and other things.

This gathering is both to share the spoils from the Menglan Ruins and to get together, as the group will be going into seclusion to digest the gains from this trip.

Lin Wenze, in particular, wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Previously, he was only one step away from the Golden Core Realm, and now with a treasure like the Seven Nights Golden Scale Flower, he is naturally more confident!

Lin Wenze saw that Shi Yi was rising to prominence, but he knew he wouldn't be surpassed by Shi Yi by too much.

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, you've arrived!"

"Come sit here."

Lin Wenze greeted Shi Yi warmly as he entered.

He prepared most of the ingredients himself this time, and they were not only of good quality but also very generous in quantity.

"Here comes Junior Brother Shi Yi!"

Thirteenth Senior Sister Chi Daihe had also arrived and was helping out. When she saw Shi Yi, she smiled and said...

The group already had a good relationship, which deepened when they collected spiritual materials together in the herb garden. Later, when Shi Yi stepped forward to save them when they were in danger, their relationship became even closer.

Spending more time with someone makes it easier to discern their personality and determine whether they are worth getting to know better.

Experiencing things together can make relationships even better.

At this point, the conversation became more casual, and everyone seemed relaxed.

"Junior brothers, I've brought your favorite Fenjiu liquor this time. You can drink to your heart's content."

Shi Yi took out the Fenjiu liquor he had brought from Blue Star.

After Shi Yi brought it out once before, everyone liked it very much, saying that it had a rich flavor, and they always asked him to bring more over.

Shi Yi himself doesn't really like drinking, but thanks to his senior brothers and sisters, his alcohol tolerance has improved quite a bit.

Although someone with Shi Yi's cultivation level could easily expel alcohol from his body if he wanted to, sometimes drinking with others is just for fun.

Qu Xiujie and Ji Peipei arrived shortly afterward.

The five of them ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, all in a relaxed mood.

The crowd dispersed late into the night.

After the joy, the spiritual practice continues.

This separation is for the sake of our next joyful reunion.

Early in the morning.

Shi Yi was sitting cross-legged in the room, with a mirror in front of him.

In fact, the mirror wouldn't be of much help to Shi Yi's next breakthrough, but since it was something Shi Yi had placed there before, there was no need to take it away.

At this moment, Shi Yi was about to complete the final skeletal inscription.

His bones had already been tempered to their limit, and he could inscribe them with bone inscriptions at any time, but he hadn't had time to do so before at the Menglan Ruins.

Now that he has returned to the sect, Shi Yi's first priority is to complete the bone inscription, in preparation for breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster level in martial arts cultivation.

"Everything here is ready, I can begin the bone inscription!"

After taking the prepared pills, Shi Yi began inscribing the characters.

He plans to be in seclusion for quite a long time this time and will not leave the courtyard for a while. He has also told Gu Qianqiu and others about this.

The skeletal inscription patterns were already etched in Shi Yi's mind, so it was not difficult for him to begin using his qi and blood to inscribe them.

Under Shi Yi's precise control, the Qi and blood began to inscribe patterns on his bones.

The human body has 206 bones, and each one needs an inscription.

If others selectively temper their bones, then the same applies to bone inscriptions; selective inscriptions depend on the individual's choice.

Within the human body, skeletal inscriptions are the final step in the inscription process. When these inscriptions are combined, they form an inscription network on the body, through which blood and qi can circulate, unleashing even greater combat power.

The more detailed the inscription network, the finer the coverage area, and the stronger the final improvement.

Under Shi Yi's control, the inscriptions were completed on the bones in his body one by one. The whole process went very smoothly, just as Shi Yi had expected.

Shi Yi used his Qi and blood to circulate within the inscription network in his body. When he circulated it, an extra layer of protection appeared around him, a protective layer that was connected to the inside and outside.

"The skeletal inscriptions within my body are complete, and the blood and qi within the inscription network can circulate normally. It's also normal for me to use the inscription enhancements, and I can unleash even stronger combat power."

"The inscription is now complete, and my martial arts cultivation has reached the true limit of Bone Refinement!"

"Next, I need to break through to the Innate Grandmaster realm, extend my physical lifespan, and achieve true longevity."

"Having broken through to the Innate Grandmaster level in martial arts cultivation and internally refined his lungs, he lived for two Jiazi (60 years), which can be described as longevity."

After checking the inscription network with his blood and qi, Shi Yi did not stop, but chose to continue breaking through.

It could be said that completing the skeletal inscriptions and constructing the inscription network was not his ultimate goal. His true objective during this martial arts seclusion was to break through the internal energy cultivation barrier and advance to the Innate Grandmaster level. (End of Chapter)
