Primordial Era: Starting with Chaotic Double Pupils, Becoming an Apprentice to the Willow God

Ye Xuan looked at Shi Hao running towards him and took a light step forward.

The next instant, he appeared in front of Shi Hao and reached out to press down on the head of the mischievous child who was running around wildly.

"You little rascal, you've caused me trouble as soon as you stepped out the door."

Although the words were meant to be reproachful, the tone was full of affection.

Then, Ye Xuan turned around and glanced indifferently at the Monkey King kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Just one glance.

The Monkey King felt as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on his back, threatening to crush his bones.

"This beast..."

Ye Xuan had just opened his mouth.

The Monkey King, suddenly inspired, suppressed his fear and kowtowed three times, his voice trembling as he said:

"I...I was blind and ignorant, I have disturbed you, sir..."

"I...I'm willing to offer up all my possessions, just to beg for your life, sir!"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile.

This monkey is quite clever.

"Since it was my brother who took your things, I will take the blame for him."

Ye Xuan waved his sleeve.

A golden light entered the body of the Monkey King.

That was not an attack, but a stream of extremely pure life essence.

The Monkey King's body trembled, and he felt that the bottleneck in his cultivation that had plagued him for many years had loosened in an instant!

I will not kill you today.

"But I'm leaving the Hundred Broken Mountains gateway with my men. Do you have any objections?"

The Monkey King was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he dared not utter a single word of dissent.

"My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please forgive me!"

"I'll get out of here right now! I'll get out of here right now!"

After saying that, it picked up the iron rod and scrambled to make way for the road.

Ye Xuan ignored it and turned to look at the Fire Emperor outside the passage.

Eyes facing each other.

The Fire Emperor trembled, quickly put away his chariot, landed on the ground, and bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

"The Emperor of the Fire Kingdom pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly in return.

"No need for formalities."

......

Before the Void Gate of the Hundred Broken Mountains.

With Ye Xuan's single word deterring the Monkey King, the tense atmosphere that had been building up finally dissipated.

The blocked passage was cleared again, and countless human prodigies and ancient remnant cubs who had been waiting anxiously inside surged out like a tide.

Most of them wore expressions of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

The Fire Emperor, driving his ancient war chariot, received the unharmed Fire Spirit, but his gaze never dared to leave Ye Xuan for even a moment.

The overwhelming pressure he felt just now, like a god descending to earth, still haunted him.

The crowd was bustling and noisy.

Just then, a boy dressed in gray slowly walked out from the crowd.

He looked to be eleven or twelve years old, with a tall and straight posture. Even amidst the crowded throng, he possessed a transcendent air that set him apart from the crowd.

What's most mysterious about him is his eyes.

Another pupil appeared within the first pupil.

Between the opening and closing of his double pupils, it seemed as if chaotic energy was flowing, his divine light so bright that one dared not look directly at him.

It was Shi Yi.

Born with double pupils, an extraordinary phenomenon of ancient sages.

As soon as Shi Yi stepped out of the passage, his gaze swept over the crowd and landed precisely on Shi Hao, who was not far away.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Shi Yi's expression was somewhat complicated.

He looked at his younger brother, who was lively and energetic, even more so than before, and a strange emotion flickered deep in his eyes.

The Supreme Bone that originally belonged to Shi Hao in his chest seemed to sense the original owner's presence and became slightly warm.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, naturally and keenly catching that gaze.

He followed the gaze and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"A person with double pupils?"

Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

In his eyes, the flow of Qi within Shi Yi's body was clearly visible.

Those double pupils were indeed extraordinary, containing an astonishing source of pupil magic.

On Shi Yi's chest, a dazzling array of runic light pulsed, radiating an aura of supreme power.

That is the Supreme Bone.

This should have belonged to Shi Hao.

Ye Xuan lowered his head, glanced at Shi Hao beside him, and asked in a calm tone:

"Xiao Hao, did you two have a battle in the Hundred Broken Mountains?"

Shi Hao was holding the animal skin bag, watching his surroundings warily to see if anyone wanted to steal his treasure. When he heard his older brother's question, he pursed his lips and glanced at Shi Yi in the distance.

"Didn't encounter it."

Shi Hao shook his head, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. "The Hundred Broken Mountains are too big. I was busy searching for spiritual herbs and capturing remnant species inside, so I didn't run into him."

As he spoke, Shi Hao clenched his fist, and a fierce aura rose from his body.

"However, now that we've run into each other, we might as well have a fight."

"It's a good time to settle old scores."

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them instantly became awkward.

The expressions of the elderly men standing behind Shi Yi changed drastically.

They were elders of the Wu King's Mansion, and this time they were specifically responsible for escorting Shi Yi to Baiduan Mountain for training.

They originally had great confidence in Shi Yi, believing that those with double pupils were invincible.

But at this moment, looking at the white-robed youth standing next to Shi Hao, the elders felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

Even the Fire Emperor has to kneel before him.

If this mysterious expert were to stand up for Shi Hao, let alone Shi Yi, even if the entire Martial King's Mansion were tied together, they probably wouldn't be enough to crush him with a single finger.

"not good!"

An elder, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, instinctively stepped forward to shield Shi Yi, his voice trembling as he said:

"This...this sir."

"The sparring between juniors hasn't reached the point of life and death..."

He was terrified that Ye Xuan might kill Shi Yi on the spot in a fit of anger.

Those with double pupils are the future hope of the Martial King's Mansion. If they perish here, they will be held accountable even if they die a thousand deaths.

Shi Yi did not hide behind Elder Zong.

He pushed aside the old man blocking his way and faced Ye Xuan and Shi Hao directly.

Although he felt as insignificant as dust in the face of Ye Xuan's aura, which was as deep as the ocean, he still straightened his back, his double pupils gleaming with divine light, without showing a trace of fear.

"My dear brother, you really didn't die."

Shi Yi spoke, his voice cold and clear.

Shi Hao sneered, "You're not dead, so how could I be? Are you still comfortable using my bones?"

This statement was highly provocative.

The cultivators from various races around them all turned their heads to look, and many who knew the inside story had their eyes gleaming, as if they were watching a good show.

Ye Xuan looked at Shi Yi, his eyes showing no killing intent, only a detached indifference as if looking down on ants.

For someone of his current level to bully a junior from a lower realm is truly beneath his dignity.

Moreover, this is Shi Hao's own karma, a high mountain that Shi Hao must cross on his path to success.

If he were to kill Shi Yi directly, it would only corrupt Shi Hao's Dao heart.

"Shi Yi".

Ye Xuan spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it drowned out all the noise in the room, echoing clearly in everyone's ears.

"You were born with double pupils, which meant you were destined for great things."

"Unfortunately, he has wicked intentions."

Ye Xuan's gaze fell on Shi Yi's chest, as if he could see through the flesh and blood, staring directly at that supreme bone.

"Some things, if they're not meant to be yours, will never be yours. Forcibly taking them will only become your shackles. Double pupils are an invincible path; why borrow the bones of others?"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Wu King's Mansion turned ashen-faced, their bodies stiffened, and they dared not even breathe.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and did not make a move.

I will not kill you today.

"The karma of you digging up Shi Hao's Supreme Bone will eventually have to be settled."

"But not now, and not by me."

Ye Xuan placed his hand on Shi Hao's shoulder, his tone calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.

"In the future, Shi Hao will personally come to your door to demand justice."

"At that time, I hope your double pupils will be able to protect the bones you stole."

That's all.

Ye Xuan didn't look at it again.

He waved his sleeve.

A gentle yet irresistible force surged forth, instantly enveloping Shi Hao, as well as the disciples and elders of the Butian Pavilion in the crowd.

"Walk."

Space distorted, and runes flickered.

To everyone's astonishment, Ye Xuan and his group from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion vanished into thin air.

There was no trace of spatial fluctuation, as if they had never existed.

Only those words, echoing between heaven and earth, remained, lingering for a long time.
