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

"You must be joking."

Shi Yi sneered, and the gaping maw formed by the red and blue rays of the Soul Devouring Calamity Light did not pause at all.

The divine soul that the Imperial Preceptor Meng Xuanji shattered was devoured by the Double Pupil, as were the three pure Yang thoughts that emerged from the Dharma Body. At this moment, the Dharma Body also seemed to be drained dry, becoming withered.

As streams of pure Yang energy flowed into Shi Yi's thoughts, especially those pure Yin thoughts in Shi Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, they began to be tempered and cleansed by this pure Yang energy, removing Yin energy, Yin dregs and other impurities from their thoughts, and began to transform into pure Yang, becoming crystal clear and very lustrous, with Yang energy naturally flowing out.

Shi Yi was extremely familiar with this transformation. He had completed this transformation when he was still in the Silent Meditation Realm. Now he was simply performing a familiar action.

After his Yin spirit transformed into his divine soul, this transformation progressed faster and became more effective!

When Meng Xuanji realized this situation, he wanted to destroy the Pure Yang thought and erase the memories left within it, but he found that he couldn't move at all, and even the destructive power he had set up within the Pure Yang thought couldn't be pulled.

Because the red and blue light emanating from his double pupils sealed off all his power, he could only watch helplessly as his soul was devoured by the gaping maw formed by the red and blue light, thus creating the Shi Yi before him.

No matter how unwilling Meng Xuanji felt, it was useless. He could only feel his soul dissipating little by little until he finally lost consciousness completely.

During this process, he wanted to resist, but he was completely powerless to do so.

This also made Meng Xuanji realize why the ancient double pupils had such a great reputation!

His cultivation of Taoist arts was so much stronger than Shi Yi's, but he was still restrained by the power of the ancient double pupils, and even became food for the double pupils.

This must be a truly desperate situation for those who practice Taoism.

He was someone who experienced it firsthand, feeling this sense of despair, which explains why he was able to achieve the name of the Ancient Double Pupils in ancient times.

Making an enemy of such a person would be such a huge problem!

Shi Yi was unaware of Meng Xuanji's changing feelings and didn't care.

Because when he made his move, he had no intention of holding back. If he had enough strength to take down his opponent, he would take him down completely, without giving his opponent any chance to resist.

Shi Yi didn't say a single unnecessary word, giving the other party time to recover.

As the double pupils devoured the national advisor Meng Xuanji, unfamiliar memories also flooded into Shi Yi's mind.

Shi Yi was very familiar with this situation, carefully receiving these unfamiliar memories and organizing them.

At the same time, he also actively absorbed the memories within the Pure Yang Thought.

Doing both at the same time might have been stressful for him in the past, but for Shi Yi now, it's a piece of cake!

With so many thoughts, it's not a problem to separate a few to hold these memories; he can organize them quickly.

Meng Xuanji is a Taoist master who has survived six tribulations and is also the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He must know a great deal of secrets.

There must be many hidden secrets within such a being, and they must be very valuable secrets.

Shi Yi was naturally very interested in these memories.

When he devoured the Sixth Prince's soul, he only obtained a portion of the memories. Even so, he gained a lot and learned more secrets, whether about the ancient double pupils or the royal family, all of which were extremely precious secrets.

At Meng Xuanji's level, the secrets he holds are certainly more numerous than those of the Sixth Prince.

Even though there are only three pure yang thoughts in front of him, and Meng Xuanji may not place too many memories on them, their value is still not to be underestimated and deserves Shi Yi's attention.

"I never expected Meng Xuanji to have such a purpose for this trip."

"After the end of the medieval period, the sages of the past even left some of their wisdom to those who came after them."

"In the Tomb of the Sages in the Void, the gifts of the Sages are stored, which can help the one who bears the Mandate of Heaven to transcend, and allow the Central Great World to advance accordingly."

"The purpose of the Grand Preceptor Meng Xuanji's trip is to find the exact location of the entrance."

"Also included are the *Purple Heaven Imperial Fortune Manual*, *Prosperous Origin and Beneficial Fortune*, *National Fortune Cultivation Method*, and *Cause and Effect Lines*."

"The three thoughts of this Grand Preceptor Meng Xuanji of the Great Zhou Dynasty truly carry a lot of information."

"But it's just as well. If this Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou didn't have so many memories, I wouldn't have gained so much."

Shi Yi absorbed these memories, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised and delighted he felt.

The secrets hidden in this world were more numerous than he had anticipated, and such an opportunity was actually hidden within Meng Xuanji's Dharma body.

The appearance of this Dharma body in the northern snowfield was to confirm the specific location of the tombs of the philosophers and to try to obtain the power left behind by the philosophers of the Middle Ages.

That kind of power still holds great appeal for Daoist masters who have undergone six tribulations.

If we can obtain it, breaking through to the Sage Realm in one fell swoop will not be a problem at all, and we can even go further.

The profound potential within it could even give him the possibility of advancing to the Yang God realm in the future, which is what Meng Xuanji values ​​most.

As for the opportunity for transcendence left within, only those who have witnessed it firsthand can confirm this.

"I've gained quite a lot, but now I need to sever the causal link first."

"The Zhou Tian Derivation Record uses the Zhou Tian as a derivation, forcibly linking cause and effect, and tracing back to the source."

"No wonder I didn't notice at all."

"If it weren't for the memories of this Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I wouldn't even know where the problem lies!"

"Now that we know where the problem lies, let's cut off everything first."

"The Grand Preceptor and the Emperor of the Great Zhou will definitely not let this go. I am not strong enough right now, so I will avoid them for the time being and wait until I have enough strength later."

These memories also gave Shi Yi a deeper understanding of the magical techniques possessed by these highly skilled individuals.

Once he understands the law of cause and effect, he has a way to deal with it.

In the memories of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were methods to sever cause and effect and conceal the secrets of heaven. And naturally, he had better options for things that could sever cause and effect and conceal the secrets of heaven.

At this moment, the double-pupiled tribulation light in the sky was the best choice. Before taking this step, he needed to sever the causal link cast by the Great Zhou Emperor, which was also the reason why the Great Zhou National Preceptor Meng Xuanji found him.

"Heavenly calamity descends!"

This time, Shi Yi unleashed the Heavenly Calamity Light once again, but the target was no longer someone else; it was himself.

To be precise, it was the dense network of cause and effect lines surrounding him.

Interacting with others creates a web of cause and effect, and among these is the cause and effect of his murder.

This power was even more peculiar, but after witnessing it, Shi Yi knew its source.

The divine light descended upon Shi Yi, severing lines of cause and effect. At the same time, red and blue rays appeared around him from his double pupils.

While severing the causal link, Shi Yi also directly concealed the secrets of heaven and eliminated any trace of his own existence.

Although Shi Yi didn't have a large network of relationships in this world, he still chose to sever all causal ties. This was for his own safety, and also for the safety of those who had causal relationships with him.

Untainted by cause and effect, it has no connection whatsoever and cannot be deduced by anyone.

When facing figures like the Grand Preceptor and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he tried to overestimate their abilities to avoid bringing trouble upon his acquaintances.

Shi Yi glanced at the withered Dharma body of the Great Zhou National Preceptor Meng Xuanji again. With a slight thought, Shi Yi completely destroyed the Dharma body of the Great Zhou National Preceptor. The remaining spoils on the opponent's body were also erased by Shi Yi with the Heavenly Tribulation Light and thrown into the Bodhi Seed Space.

At this point, no matter what methods Meng Xuanji and the others used, it would be impossible for them to track him down!

After all this was done, the double pupil phenomenon returned to Shi Yi's body and disappeared.

With a slight thought, Shi Yi took a step and disappeared over the northern snowfield!
This place has already been found by the Dharma body of the Great Zhou National Preceptor, and his Dharma body even perished here, so it is naturally not suitable for him to continue.

Because he felt that it wouldn't be long before the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would come looking for him!

The Dharma body and the pure Yang thought were extinguished, and the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty must have sensed it.

Furthermore, he has already achieved his goal of advancing to the realm of immortals. With his cultivation of Daoist arts reaching this level, the next step is to find a suitable time and place to undergo the tribulation of lightning.

The northern snowfields are not a suitable place to undergo a tribulation of lightning.

Not long after Shi Yi disappeared, two figures tore through the void and appeared.

“My Dharma body and three thoughts dissipated here.”

"Judging from the traces of battle here, the battle did not last long. My Dharma body and thoughts were suppressed by the other party."

"Throughout the entire process, there was absolutely no chance to escape, not even a single thought was left behind."

"This person has also severed the causal chain and blocked the deduction of heavenly secrets, so no useful information can be found at all."

"The person who killed the Sixth Prince is not simple, or there may be more than one person."

At this moment, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Meng Xuanji, was standing next to another person. He took a half step back and his attitude was extremely respectful.

Because the person next to him was Yang Xuanyu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Meng Xuanji arrived here, he immediately used his secret technique to try to find the hidden thoughts, but there was no trace of them. It was obvious that they had all been captured, and no useful information was left behind.

In addition, the cause-and-effect relationship that the emperor had previously established for him had broken, so the emperor's subsequent deductions failed.

All these circumstances prove that the person who made the move is not simple, or that there are extraordinary people around them.

This gave Meng Xuanji some guesses, but she didn't say them out loud.

"Right now, only the two remaining holy lands have the capability to do this!"

"The Zhengyi Immortal Path doesn't concern itself with any dynastic affairs; it's solely focused on seeking immortality and enlightenment. However, it doesn't want the current dynastic structure to change, lest their holy land's reputation be tarnished."

"The Jixia Academy aims to cultivate knowledgeable people from all over the world, hoping to return to the prosperous era of the Hundred Sages and philosophers, and also to prevent the birth of a new dynasty."

"Although I was unable to trace their whereabouts, based on my understanding of these holy sites, they should have all taken action!"

"These methods are just the beginning. There will surely be more methods to stop our dynasty's great cause of unifying the world."

Emperor Yang Xuanyu of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a deep gaze.

In their eyes, they can see the light of wisdom, which is also the transformation of their eyes after practicing the "Zhou Tian Yan Sheng Lu".

The Sixth Prince's discerning eyes are the result of the transformation in his eyes after inheriting the "Zhou Tian Yan Sheng Lu" (Record of the Derivation of Heaven and Earth).

His eyes are far more powerful than the Eye of Wisdom; they can help him see through and connect the threads of cause and effect.

However, all the causal lines here have disappeared at this moment. The causal line he had previously connected to has also been forcibly severed, which is one of the reasons why he appeared here.

In this world, there are not many people who can do this.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor, it must have been the experts from the Holy Land who made the move!
After all, both holy lands have creators at the sage level in charge, and such figures can sever the causal threads, rendering his deductions completely ineffective.

Only if his cultivation of Taoist arts advances further will it be possible to find some traces.

Only the two of them were present at this moment, but the forces they mobilized were far more than that, which was why they were so fearless.

Even before they arrived, the two were prepared to fight.

However, judging from the situation here, it is clear that the other party has not chosen to engage them in battle.

It's very likely that the time isn't right yet.

"Only two of the four great holy lands remain now. However, these two remaining holy lands have different goals and do not seek the title of the first or only holy land. It is now very difficult for them to clash."

"Only by forcefully suppressing them can we get rid of these two insidious pests, the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Path."

"This is what the Imperial Advisor Meng Xuanji said."

In his eyes, the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Path were obstacles, major problems that should be eliminated.

The destruction of the Heavenly Capital Demonic Sect and the decline of the Great Putuo Temple were both the result of the machinations of various dynasties, including the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And in this, the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Path were also secretly pulling the strings, making it the result of the machinations of multiple forces.

The reason for this is a struggle for interests.

However, after reaching this point, the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Path seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation in secret. Even though the various dynasties tried to sow discord through various means, it had no effect. On the contrary, it made the relationship between the two holy lands more harmonious.

Because their goals are different, there is absolutely no conflict between them.

As for the title of the First Holy Land, no faction cared.

Because the title of the first holy site, which is fought for, is not as good as the title of the first holy site that is accepted by default.

The Jixia Academy was the premier place of learning for scholars of all schools of thought during the Hundred Schools of Thought period, and it was considered an honor for any student to enter the Jixia Academy.

The Zhengyi Immortal Path is the number one holy land in the eyes of cultivators. All those who cultivate the Dao want to join it. However, the conditions for becoming a disciple of the Zhengyi Immortal Path are extremely harsh. Only the most talented among the most talented can become disciples of the Zhengyi Immortal Path after passing numerous tests.

The Jixia Academy welcomes students from all over the world.

The Zhengyi Immortal Path only accepts geniuses among geniuses; mediocre people are not welcome.

The two seek completely different things, have different directions, and target different people.

This is one of the reasons why all sorts of provocations have no effect.

Meng Xuanji understood perfectly well that using underhanded methods against the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Path was useless; only overwhelming force could decisively resolve all the troubles. (End of Chapter)
