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

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, your strength has truly surprised us!"

Lin Wenze smiled and said as he saw Shi Yi bringing over the physical body of Li Yanchen, a protector of the Wusheng Sect.

At this time, Li Yanchen's physical body was not yet dead, but his Yin spirit had been destroyed by Shi Yi, so this physical body would not live for long.

This physical body is now worse than a person in a vegetative state; it's just an empty shell, and it will die completely in a few days.

"I had already made some progress, which is why my seclusion period was longer."

Shi Yi put down Li Yanchen's physical body and said with a smile.

From the moment he actually attacked Li Yanchen to the end of the battle, the whole process was very fast.

The Taiyi Sect members in Beiyuan Prefecture City had not yet arrived to provide support. After a short while, Gu Qianqiu and the others appeared before them.

Warning signals are classified into different levels. The signal sent by Lin Wenze and others is a signal at the Dharma Aspect level. If the strength is insufficient, there is no need to provide support. On the contrary, it is necessary to avoid them, because if the strength is insufficient, providing support will be of no use.

This is also why there were other disciples patrolling nearby, but they didn't come over immediately.

If you're not strong enough to get close, that's not providing support, it's just hindering them.

"You have already cultivated the Golden Crow Dharma Form. Not bad. Your seclusion during this period has been very effective."

"The man in your hand is Li Yanchen, a protector of the Wusheng Heretic Cult. He was involved in the destruction of the Hidden Dragon Formation in the city, but he escaped because he was fast and the people from the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance were more important!"

"Now that you have killed this person, it will be considered a great achievement and can be counted as completing the core disciple assessment task."

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

The Taiyi Sect has thoroughly investigated the person who previously destroyed the Hidden Dragon Formation. The reason they have arranged so many disciples to patrol Beiyuan Prefecture City these days is not only to defend against external enemies, but also to catch these rats hiding in the gutter.

He hadn't expected that Shi Yi's cultivation in Daoist arts had already broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

For cultivators, breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm is extremely difficult. Even cultivation geniuses need to cultivate at the Yuan Dan Realm for several years before they can advance.

The time it took for Shi Yi, who was standing before him, to advance from the Yuan Dan realm to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm was not long, and he was a witness to it.

This further elevated Gu Qianqiu's opinion of Shi Yi.

Given Shi Yi's current cultivation progress, he truly has a chance to surpass him and advance to the level of a Divine Immortal, adding another Divine Immortal expert to the Taiyi Sect.

"Thank you, Master."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He had originally planned to spend some time taking the assessment to complete the core disciple assessment, but now that Gu Qianqiu had spoken, he skipped it!
Being able to kill a Dharma Aspect Realm expert after advancing to the Dharma Aspect Realm, and being a wanted person by the Taiyi Sect, actually meets the conditions for completing the assessment.

Within the Taiyi Dao Sect, once you reach a higher level, the assessment criteria become less rigid, and instead, more suitable assessment methods are adopted.

After all, rigid assessment content cannot truly reflect the potential of the examinee. On the contrary, real combat situations like this are more likely to reveal a person's true combat strength.

Shi Yi and the others also told Gu Qianqiu all the information they had heard before.

Gu Qianqiu took this matter very seriously and ordered someone to send the message back to the sect as soon as possible. At the same time, he also set off for the western part of the city.

With the battle over, Xu Zhiyuan and the others who were nearly dead were all taken away for interrogation.

Li Yanchen's spirit is dead, so his physical body is of little use. If he wants useful information, he can only try it on these people!
Even if you don't necessarily succeed, you should still give it a try.

After all, there are still some connections between the Wusheng Cult, the Demonic Cult, and the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance. There is an opportunity to follow the clues and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, what happened next had nothing to do with Shi Yi and the others!
These matters will now be handled by professionals.

Shi Yi and the others did not return to the Taiyi Sect, but instead stayed in an inn arranged for them in the city.

For the next few days, they would follow the patrols until the imperial army arrived to provide support. During this time, they would basically not return to the Taiyi Sect.

"The cultivation methods of the Wusheng Sect are indeed very flawed, no wonder it is difficult to cultivate to the realm of immortals."

"It is far inferior to the 'Sutra of the Future of All Beings' of Daputuo Temple. After Daputuo Temple declined, the masters of Wusheng Sect would have tried to seize the 'Sutra of the Future of All Beings'."

"Unfortunately, the Wusheng Sect's overall strength was too weak. They gained nothing and suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, Song Muchan, who was not yet the Wusheng Saintess at the time, was lucky enough to obtain the 'Sutra of the Future of All Beings.' After joining the Wusheng Sect, she quickly rose to prominence with the help of the sect's faith and even broke free from the control of the sect's leader, becoming the new player in the game."

"It's a pity that Song Muchan was too unlucky, otherwise she could have really achieved something with the 'Sutra of the Future of All Beings'."

"Once she ascends to the realm of immortals, she will be the true ruler of the Wusheng Sect. If she then creates nine future faith avatars, she will be able to reign supreme among the immortals!"

After Shi Yi used the Double Pupil Soul Devouring Calamity Light Divine Power to devour Li Yanchen's memories, he obtained the Wusheng Sect's cultivation method, the "All Wonders of Wusheng Scripture".

This is a memory that Shi Yi had not previously obtained from the Eternal Mother, but overall, this memory is not important.

Because the "Sutra of the Unborn and Unborn" practiced by the Wusheng Sect was not of high value to him, it was far less valuable than the "Sutra of the Future of All Beings" of Daputuo Temple, and the two were not even on the same level in terms of their purpose.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivation is not on the same level.

The Daputuo Temple's "Sutra of the Future of All Beings" is not something everyone can practice. The requirements for practice are very high, and those who do not meet the requirements but force themselves to practice will inevitably be backfired by the power of faith.

There were quite a few monks in Daputuo Temple who died because of practicing the "Sutra of the Future of All Beings". Therefore, after many monks died, there were fewer people practicing the "Sutra of the Future of All Beings", and its reputation was not as good as the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" and the "Hinayana Amitabha Sutra".

Otherwise, the three scriptures would have been equally famous at the beginning, but later there were differences in their reputations!

As for the "Symbol of No Birth" practiced by the Wusheng Sect, its purpose is not lofty, but its requirements for practice are also much lower. Some simplistic uses of the power of faith have also been derived from it, which can even be called heretical practices.

It's of little use to a Daoist master like Shi Yi, but it's an opportunity for those with average cultivation aptitude and low cultivation levels.

For those with average aptitude for cultivation, it is virtually impossible to advance to the realm of manipulating objects, but the "Scripture of the Myriad Wonders of No Birth" practiced by the Wusheng Sect makes this impossible possible.

Although this process may come at a great cost, and even involve the possibility of death, it is also an opportunity for those with average aptitude for cultivation.

After all, once one's cultivation in Daoist arts reaches the level of controlling objects, one possesses the combat power of a Bone Refining Martial Master.

Although forcibly boosting one's combat power using the power of faith will make one somewhat weaker among those of the same level, for many people this may well be an opportunity.

For most ordinary people, breaking through to the Bone Refining Martial Master level is extremely difficult; they might not even reach that level even after a lifetime of effort. "This method of utilizing the power of faith can create a group of experts whose Daoist cultivation has reached the level of object manipulation in a short period of time."

"Although the proportion of people with cultivation talent is not high, and most people's cultivation talent is very ordinary, with a large population base, it is still possible to find a large number of people."

“Under normal circumstances, these people would find it difficult to achieve anything.”

“By using the power of faith to forcibly elevate these people to the realm of object manipulation, their combat strength should not be underestimated.”

"However, to obtain so much faith power, one needs many devout believers, which is quite difficult in the Central Great World."

When Shi Yi read the contents of the "Scripture of the Unborn and Uncreated," although the cultivation methods were incomplete, there were some unique ways to utilize Taoist techniques and the power of faith.

It could even be called a heretical approach, but the methods do have some merit.

However, the upper limit is basically locked, which also means that the Wusheng Sect will have a hard time achieving great success, because in this world, the real strong people have heaven-reaching power, which cannot be resisted by sheer numbers.

"There are quite a few people in Beiyuanzhou City who want to destroy the Hidden Dragon Formation right now."

"In Li Yanchen's memory, the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance and the Demonic Sect agreed to attack together again before the Cang Lang Khanate army arrived."

"The Wusheng Cult members in the city have been mostly eliminated, so the plan will definitely change."

"However, the way they communicate should still be somewhat useful."

"Next, we can take Lin and the others to try our luck. If the method of transmitting information is useful, then we can work together to solve these hidden dangers in the city, so that these worms hiding in the gutter won't cause trouble at a critical moment."

Shi Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he had an idea in mind.

He also saw other information in Li Yanchen's memories, all of which were information brought about by devouring the other party's Yin spirit, and it was not appropriate to explain them directly.

Before a master of Taoist arts can concentrate their thoughts, the Taiyi sect's lineage does not have a method for extracting memories from the Yin spirit, because the state of the Yin spirit is very special.

Only by condensing a thought can a memory be left within it. Even if the cultivator dies and their cultivation dissipates, the memory will still exist and will not suddenly disappear. Others can then view the memory within it.

Shi Yi's current method of using his double pupils to devour the Yin spirits of others and obtain their memories is, to some extent, similar to the demonic or evil paths.

Because there are similar soul-searching methods in the demonic and evil paths, but the memories that can be obtained are limited, and it can only be used once on the Yin Spirit level, because after it is used, the Yin Spirit will dissipate!
"Compared to these threats, the Canglang Khanate is the real threat."

"According to Li Yanchen's memory, these people all seemed to have great confidence in the Canglang Khanate. They came with great force, and the Great Zhou Dynasty might not be able to stop them."

Shi Yi had previously overestimated the strength of the Canglang Khanate based on its performance, but seeing Li Yanchen's memories made him realize that the Canglang Khanate's combat power was probably even stronger than he had expected.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot muster stronger forces, it may face annihilation.

The fact that two states were breached on the border is good proof of this.

"I also need to make some preparations in advance. If the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot withstand it, then we will have no choice but to consider retreating!"

"We'll help the Taiyi Sect and our acquaintances if we can, but we can't force them to help if we can't."

"Although I might feel a little uncomfortable in a different place, with my current strength, it doesn't matter where I am."

"It will only take some time, and then I will definitely have the ability to control everything."

While Shi Yi was thinking about doing something for the Taiyi Sect, he was also considering his way out.

Once the great war begins, it will no longer be up to his personal will!
During the great war between the two countries, even a Tribulation Immortal expert could not influence the situation, let alone someone at the peak of the Forgetfulness Realm.

Even if his thoughts are pure Yang and his combat power is no weaker than that of a master at the Immortal Realm, the situation is different when facing a Tribulation Immortal!

Although Shi Yi still has the trump card of double pupils, this trump card may not necessarily help him sweep everything aside.

"Given the speed of the Canglang Khanate's army, I estimate that before they arrive at Beiyuan City, I will at most have condensed one or two future faith avatars on Blue Star."

"Even with sufficient faith power, there can only be three at most."

"Although my combat power will be greatly improved, my cultivation essence will remain unchanged."

"If my cultivation of Taoist arts doesn't break through to the Immortal realm, my combat power is about to be locked at its limit!"

Shi Yi was very clear about his own situation.

He can still improve, but the improvement isn't as rapid as before.

Whether it's martial arts cultivation or Taoist cultivation, it's difficult to make significant breakthroughs in a short period of time.

Martial arts cultivation takes time, even if he has many cultivation resources.

As for his cultivation in Taoist arts, he has reached a bottleneck and it will be difficult for him to improve further.

Having cultivated Taoist arts for so long, this was the first time Shi Yi had felt the existence of a bottleneck.

This bottleneck cannot be broken through by external force, but requires personal understanding. Once you have a thorough understanding, you can break through it; otherwise, you will remain trapped.

Many cultivators spend their entire lives trying to break through this realm, and this is not just a saying.

"Right now, most of my thoughts are focused on comprehending the methods of breaking through realms, such as possession and life and death, and a portion is also devoted to studying the scriptures and increasing my knowledge of this world."

"I have made the most of everyone's available resources. Now it's just a matter of when I will achieve enlightenment!"

"No matter how anxious I am about this step, it's useless. The best way to deal with it is to keep a calm mind."

"Once you take this step, the world will be your oyster!"

Shi Yi was very confident in his cultivation progress. He did not doubt whether he could break through to the realm of immortals; it was only a matter of time.

However, this period is somewhat special. The threats posed by forces such as the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance and the Cang Lang Khanate make Shi Yi feel uneasy.

Because of his current strength, he cannot control everything.

His circumstances forced him to participate, and under these circumstances, Shi Yi naturally wanted to improve his strength even more!
Only sufficient strength could make him feel safe and free from unease. (End of Chapter)
