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

The Qian Yuan Secret Palace.

At this moment, Cang Yu, the sect leader of Taiyi Dao Sect, was personally using a secret technique and a key to open the Qian Yuan Secret Palace.

As the Yin God power within Cang Yu surged, the suspended key pierced the void, revealing a void portal in mid-air.

This is also the entrance to the Qian Yuan Secret Palace, located in a special spot on Wangyue Mountain, surrounded by numerous formations.

Ordinary people can't get close to this place.

"When you go inside, the large seal floating in the very center is the remnant of the Golden Crow Seal."

"Fighting is forbidden within the Qian Yuan Secret Palace."

"Your positions for enlightenment have been arranged. Just follow the arrangements to cultivate and gain enlightenment."

"This enlightenment can only last for one day. The Qian Yuan Secret Palace will close automatically after that. You must leave within this time period, otherwise you will be trapped in the Qian Yuan Secret Palace for a period of time. You must remember this."

Cang Yu spoke earnestly to Shi Yi and the others.

The rules of the Qian Yuan Secret Palace are somewhat similar to those of other secret realms, but the time interval between openings is not as long. However, it cannot be opened at any time and some preparations need to be made in advance.

This preparation is also a way to protect the treasures inside the Qian Yuan Secret Palace. Even if outsiders happen to obtain the key and learn how to open it through special means, they will not be able to steal the treasures from inside immediately. This also gives the Taiyi Sect time to react.

During this process, the Taiyi Sect can make arrangements, so even if the other party has the key and the method to open it, it will be of no use.

Because the true core has always been in the hands of the Taiyi Sect.

"Yes."

Except for the sixth prince of the Great Zhou, everyone answered in unison.

The sixth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not care about this, because a sixth-level expert could tear through the void, including the Qian Yuan Secret Mansion in front of him.

Even if he were trapped inside, there would be no danger for him; he could ask a Taoist master for help.

However, figures like the Imperial Advisor rarely make a move, so although he didn't care, he still took his words to heart!
The sixth prince stared intently at the portal in the void.

In addition to obtaining the core inheritance of the Taiyi Sect, he also had another task: to observe the situation of the Taiyi Sect and its attitude towards the royal family. After completing his observations, he needed to send this information back to Shenjing to report.

Most of the major sects and forces within the Great Zhou Dynasty seem to have submitted to it. However, it's not enough to judge these sects by appearances alone. With members of the royal family personally visiting, they can see more, feel more deeply, and know more detailed information.

This also allows us to see the strength and resources of the various sects.

The Great Zhou royal family keeps a close eye on all the major forces within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even has people planted among them, all in order to understand the situation of each sect. However, some secret information is not so easy to obtain, because the higher the status, the more detailed the investigation will be.

Besides these matters, the Sixth Prince had an even more secretive mission in coming here: to investigate whether the Taiyi Sect had any other hidden information regarding the inheritance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The legacy of a powerful figure from ancient times like Donghuang Taiyi is naturally strong. The Taiyi sect obtained a portion of it and may have other information in their possession. The Sixth Prince's arrival is intended to test him.

The royal family did not doubt that the Taiyi Sect possessed the complete inheritance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, because if the Taiyi Sect had the complete inheritance, its strength would not be limited to its current level.

A sect with a master at the immortal level in charge is not considered weak, but it depends on who it is compared to!

At the level of the Great Zhou Emperor, the combat power he would fear must be at the level of a Tribulation Immortal.

When the Sixth Prince arrived at Wangyue Mountain, he made some subtle probing remarks while talking with the sect leader Cang Yu and others.

However, Sect Master Cang Yu was no ordinary person. In just a few words, he not only steered the outcome in favor of the Taiyi Sect, but also made the Sixth Prince aware of the Taiyi Sect's stance.

"The complete Eastern Emperor's legacy is something that can transform into the Great Sun, illuminating the entire Central Great World."

“A powerhouse of this level is extremely terrifying; even the King of Divine Artifacts has little power to resist them.”

"Unfortunately, we were unable to glean any useful information from these old foxes."

"As for the pillars of the Taiyi Sect behind me, they have no way of knowing!"

After turning his gaze away from Cang Yu, the Sixth Prince glanced at Shi Yi and the others.

He knew that the people behind him were all at the Dharma Aspect Realm, but he didn't take them too seriously. With his status and the results of his years of study, he could surpass them once he received the right inheritance.

He doesn't mind if things go a little slower now.

In fact, the Sixth Prince's goal was the same as those great Confucian scholars: to study to a certain extent and then come into contact with Taoist cultivation, thereby directly breaking through the barrier of life and death and entering the realm of immortals. Ideally, he would also be able to pass through the tribulation of lightning and become a master at the level of Tribulation Immortal.

This would naturally give him a greater chance of ascending to the throne, or even the highest position, which is also the goal of the Great Zhou Emperor.

The sixth prince and other princes all coveted that position, which is why they went to various prefectures and cities, and some of them were competing for it.

His relatively friendly attitude towards the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sect was an attempt to win them over and prepare for their eventual subjugation.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty had a lot to do in the coming period, especially since it planned to take the initiative to start a war, with the first target being the Canglang Khanate, thus taking the first step in establishing a dynasty.

Once most of the forces within the Central Great World are suppressed, the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty will naturally transform into that of an imperial dynasty, and a new human emperor will be born.

At that time, the Great Zhou Emperor will also be able to use his position as the Human Emperor to reach the realm he has always dreamed of in terms of cultivation.

In the Central Great World, there are many powers that can assist in cultivation, such as the power of faith and the power of national destiny. There are limitations to their use, but once a certain level is reached, these limitations cease to be an issue.

"You may now enter the Qian Yuan Secret Palace."

After the Void Gate stabilized, the Gate Master Cang Yu spoke.

Among the crowd, the Sixth Prince was the first to enter the Qian Yuan Secret Palace, showing no concern for his safety.

Its confidence stems from the Zhou Dynasty royal family behind it.

If something happens to him within the Taiyi Sect, the imperial court will naturally send people to cause trouble for the Taiyi Sect.

Therefore, compared to himself, the Taiyi Sect cared more about his safety.

Knowing all this, the sixth prince stepped forward without hesitation.

Shi Yi and the others then followed and entered the Qian Yuan Secret Mansion.

Stepping through the void portal and into the Qian Yuan Secret Palace, Shi Yi could immediately sense the marks of time.

This wasn't because he had exceptional perception, but because the aura automatically emanating from this space was perceptible to everyone.

"It is indeed a treasure left over from ancient times. The aura of time is unmistakable."

The sixth prince, who was walking at the front, looked at the golden seal floating in the center and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Although he knew that the Taiyi Sect's lineage originated from the ancient Donghuang Taiyi, the items it inherited might not necessarily come from ancient times. It's not impossible that they might be things that later generations had come up with.

Before arriving at the Taiyi Dao Sect, he was only somewhat willing to try, since even with royal connections, he couldn't fully confirm some of the hidden information. "No wonder it's just the Golden Crow Remnant Seal; it really is incomplete, not just a matter of incomplete inheritance."

Shi Yi looked at the floating golden seal, which was engraved with patterns such as the Golden Crow and the Great Sun. However, these patterns were not complete, because the golden seal was incomplete, as if it had been forcibly broken.

Even so, the Golden Crow Remnant Seal can still maintain its Immortal Artifact level. If it were intact, it would be hard to imagine how powerful it would be.

Shi Yi then went to his seat. Their positions had already been arranged before they entered the Qian Yuan Secret Mansion.

The sixth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was at the very front, sensing the remnant of the Golden Crow Seal from the closest distance.

Meanwhile, Shi Yi and the other twelve core disciples were in the back row, meditating on the remnant of the Golden Crow Seal.

The last row consists of ten deacons from various mountain peaks, who are comprehending the remnants of the Golden Crow Seal.

It's fair to say that without the Sixth Prince, everyone's position would be one place higher.

The closer one is to the remnant of the Golden Crow, the better this insight becomes.

After everyone arrived at their assigned spots, they began to meditate, wasting no time.

After all, the time available for reflection is limited, so we need to seize this opportunity.

Each person has a limited number of opportunities to come before the Golden Crow Remnant Seal to gain enlightenment. The first time is relatively easy, but the difficulty increases significantly afterward.

It would be even better if one could grasp the cultivation method that suits them best in one go.

Furthermore, the effect of the first enlightenment is the best. Even if you get another chance to understand the Golden Crow Remnant Seal, the effect will not be as good as the first time.

"The Daoist aura on this Golden Crow Remnant Seal is truly powerful. It must have been used by Donghuang Taiyi in ancient times, which is why Donghuang Taiyi's legacy remains on it."

"However, the Golden Crow Remnant Seal is not a true heirloom, which is why the information recorded in it is not much and is incomplete."

"This is somewhat similar to the sword stele of the Menglan Sword Sect. However, the sword stele was specially made by the Menglan Sword Sect for its younger disciples and is also a complete object, so the recorded inheritance is more complete."

"Even so, this remnant of the Golden Crow seal is still somewhat useful to me."

"Although the 'Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Diagram' in my hand has reached the realm of immortals, the cultivation method has reached this point. In the subsequent cultivation of the Tribulation Immortal, if I want to continue to improve the cultivation of the 'Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Diagram', I need to comprehend the 'Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Diagram' that suits me on my own. Only in this way can I advance further."

"Without learning from others, it's quite difficult to go far on your own."

"The fact that no expert at the Tribulation Immortal level has been born within the Taiyi Sect is good proof of this."

When Shi Yi observed the remnant of the Golden Crow Seal, he subconsciously used his double pupils to see through the illusory supernatural power, and at the same time used his precognitive supernatural power to see even more clearly.

In Shi Yi's eyes, he had already seen most of the Golden Crow Remnant Seal.

After learning the general situation of the Golden Crow Remnant Seal, Shi Yi was about to begin to comprehend it when he suddenly noticed that the Sixth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was looking at him.

To be precise, look into his eyes.

Although the other party quickly withdrew his gaze and resumed comprehending the remnant seal of the Golden Crow, Shi Yi could see that the other party's qi and blood were changing, which clearly indicated that his emotions were fluctuating.

"Did you see through the disguise in my eyes?"

"Or did you see through my cultivation level in Daoist arts?"

Upon seeing this, Shi Yi frowned slightly.

The other party appeared calm, but the fluctuations in his aura were impossible to conceal.

This is because the other person's emotions have changed drastically at this point.

The other party's feigned composure made Shi Yi feel that the other party had ulterior motives.

"Seeing through my cultivation level isn't a big problem, but if they know I have the ancient double pupils, then there might be trouble."

Shi Yi wasn't actually too worried about his cultivation level being revealed.

As a cultivation genius, rapid progress in cultivation is perfectly normal and consistent with the identity of a cultivation genius.

But the ancient double pupils are a different story!

In the records of the Central Great World, the ancient double pupils are extremely rare. Once one appears, as long as he can grow up normally, he can grow to the Sage Realm. As for whether he can go further, that depends on the individual's situation!
However, this also proves the power of the ancient double pupils.

There are actually some people with heterochromia and other special abilities, but none can compare to the ancient double pupils.

Many factions, aware of the power of the ancient double pupils, naturally researched ways to steal them.

Eye transplantation is one such method.

Possession is also a method.

Shi Yi had read many books, some of which contained relevant records. Although those who underwent eye transplants or body-snatching ultimately did not achieve the same level of success as those who truly possessed double pupils, because they would reject what was not their own, it still could not stop those people from coveting it.

After all, the lower limit of double pupils is what it is.

This is why Shi Yi has never revealed his double pupils. Even if someone knew he had double pupils, they all died at his hands. There was no possibility of him revealing the secret of his double pupils.

"This is the ancient double pupil. My wisdom eye just saw traces of supernatural power. I didn't expect it was a person with double pupils who used supernatural power to examine the remnant of the Golden Crow Seal."

"There are actually people with double pupils hidden within the Taiyi Sect. They've really hidden themselves quite well."

"If this person with double pupils is allowed to grow up, a sage-level expert will be born within the Taiyi Dao Sect, and the Taiyi Dao Sect can then be promoted to a holy land."

"This is a really deep scheme. If I hadn't been so perceptive, I would have been kept in the dark."

"It is of no benefit to the Great Zhou royal family if people with double pupils grow up."

"Moreover, if I can obtain these double pupils and become the new double pupil user, the throne will most likely fall into my hands."

"This is an opportunity, an incredible opportunity."

"No, I need to stay calm. I can't let the person with double pupils discover the problem with me."

"Once we leave the Qian Yuan Secret Mansion, I can arrange for my men to take action against this person with double pupils and capture him."

The sixth prince felt his heart pounding violently.

He originally thought that the only reward from this trip would be the Golden Crow Remnant Seal, a legacy related to the ancient Emperor Taiyi, but he didn't expect to gain something even better.

This was something he had never anticipated, but the more unexpected it was, the calmer he became. Although an opportunity was before him, he knew he was no match for the person in front of him.

Not to mention that all these people are members of the Taiyi Dao Sect. (End of Chapter)
