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

The next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into Stone Village, Ye Xuan and Ao Tong pushed open the door and stepped out.

The two stood side by side, looking radiant.

Especially Ao Tong, whose originally aloof temperament now possesses an indescribable gentleness and profundity.

Those eyes, as they moved, not only flashed with divine light, but also seemed to contain a nascent universe, mysterious and unpredictable.

"Congratulations."

Ye Xuan glanced at her and smiled, "Your double pupils have evolved; you'll be able to go much further in the future."

Ao Tong looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with tenderness and gratitude.

She knew what last night's dual cultivation meant; it was Ye Xuan using his own chaotic Dao principles to baptize her.

Thank you.

In the days that followed, Shicun Village was swept up in a wave of enthusiasm for cultivation.

With the massive resources brought back by Ye Xuan, and the personal guidance of a powerful expert at the level of a Red Dust Immortal, the villagers' strength began to grow explosively.

Every day, deafening shouts can be heard at the martial arts training ground at the village entrance.

Ye Xuan walked among the villagers with his hands behind his back, occasionally correcting their posture and breathing patterns.

Although the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng was old, under Ye Xuan's care, his withered blood and qi were revitalized.

With his years of accumulated experience, he opened up five caves in one go, directly entering the Spirit Transformation Realm. He seemed to have been rejuvenated, and his hair even turned black.

Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao, the two mainstays of the hunting team, are even more courageous and skilled.

They were already physically strong, and now, nourished by the Venerable's flesh and blood and spiritual medicine, coupled with the precious techniques taught by Ye Xuan, their strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two beams of energy shot into the sky.

Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao broke through at the same time, entering the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Their divine power surged, enough to tear apart ancient remnants.

"Haha! That felt great! So great!"

Shi Linhu swung his large bone club, smashing a boulder to pieces with a single blow, and laughed excitedly.

The one who made the most progress was none other than the Azure Sky Roc that had always protected Stone Village.

It is an ancient remnant species with extraordinary bloodline.

Seeing its unwavering loyalty, Ye Xuan bestowed upon it a drop of the true blood of a ferocious beast that had been fused with the profound mysteries of the True Phoenix.

That drop of blood is an invaluable elixir for birds.

"Hey——!"

A loud bird call echoed through the sky.

The Azure Roc's entire body surged with azure light, its originally messy feathers fell off, and it grew azure scales as hard as metal.

Its size increased several times over, its wings spread wide enough to blot out the sky, and a terrifying pressure belonging to the Venerable Realm swept out.

It circled in the air several times, then transformed into a streak of azure light and landed before Ye Xuan, lowering its proud head and speaking in human language:

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing your blood! Xiaoqing vows to protect Stone Village forever, until her death!"

It knew very well that if it relied on its own cultivation, it might never be able to reach the threshold of a Venerable in this lifetime.

But following Ye Xuan, a single drop of blood was enough for it to complete a leap in life.

Seeking refuge with Shicun was undoubtedly the wisest decision it ever made.

Ye Xuan looked at the thriving scene and nodded in satisfaction.

The cultural heritage of Shicun has been established.

In this impending catastrophe and chaos, this place will become a true sanctuary.

......

Life in Shicun was peaceful and serene, but the outside world was constantly changing.

One morning, Shi Hao's soul returned from the Realm of the Void Gods, and he appeared unusually excited.

He didn't even bother to put down the half-finished animal milk in his hand before rushing to the village entrance.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

Shi Hao shouted, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement, "The Void God Realm is in an uproar! Those old men are all saying that the Kunpeng Nest deep in the North Sea has cracked open, the seal has loosened, and it's about to be born!"

"People from all the major religions are rushing over there now."

I heard that even the Venerable Ones of the Ancient Divine Mountain have been mobilized, all vying for the legendary Ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques!

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan put down his teacup and turned his gaze northward.

His chaotic double pupils opened and closed slightly, seemingly piercing through the endless void and seeing the sea shrouded in chaotic mist.

"Kunpeng's Nest..." Ye Xuan murmured.

The True Phoenix is ​​the master of rebirth and rebirth, while the Kunpeng is the master of attack and extreme speed.

If Shi Hao could gather both of these Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, his future path would be much broader.

"Since we've already made it this far, let's go join in the fun."

Ye Xuan stood up and waved his sleeve.

"Xiao Qing!"

A soft shout.

The Azure Roc, already at the Venerable Realm, swooped down from the clouds, its enormous azure wings blotting out the sun and whipping up a fierce wind.

It landed respectfully in front of Ye Xuan, lowering its proud head.

"Take us to Beihai."

Ye Xuan led Ao Tong and Shi Hao onto the bird's back.

With a long cry, the Azure Roc flapped its wings and instantly transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing into the horizon.

A ferocious bird at the Venerable Realm flying at full speed—that's incredible speed.

In less than half a day, the group traversed millions of miles of territory and arrived at the North Sea.

The place was already in complete chaos.

The sea was turbulent, with countless huge warships lying across the water, their banners fluttering in the wind.

In the sky, various ferocious birds and strange beasts circled, and the roars of ancient remnants rose and fell.

The powerful figures of various factions have begun to engage in small-scale conflicts in order to seize advantageous positions, and blood has stained the sea red.

"It's so lively!"

Standing on the bird's back, Shi Hao looked down at the dense crowd and magical artifacts below, his eyes shining.

This isn't a battlefield; it's a treasure trove!

"Xiao Hao."

Ye Xuan patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and pointed to the chaotic sea below.

"Take Xiaoqing with you to gain experience. Remember, only through battle can you grow stronger. Go and reclaim the opportunity that belongs to you."

"If any shameless old bastards dare to bully the weak, let Xiaoqing take action. Don't hold back."

"Okay!"

Shi Hao chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and looked eager to try.

"Have fun, brothers! I'm going to get some local specialties for Dazhuang and the others to take back!"

After saying that, he and Qing Tianpeng swooped down, crashing into the crowd like a meteorite, instantly causing a commotion.

Ye Xuan and Ao Tong did not follow, but instead strolled through the void, heading deeper into the sea.

The sea fog here is getting thicker and thicker, even suppressing divine senses.

Sudden.

On the sea ahead, mist churned, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere, carrying the vicissitudes of time, rushed towards us.

A huge, ancient ship, as black as ink, silently emerged from the mist.

The ship was enormous, like a moving mountain.

The ship's hull was an eerie black, covered with mottled bloodstains—divine blood that had never dried even after countless ages.

It has no sails, no oars, and no power source, yet it can travel against the current on the sea.

Even more terrifying is that with its appearance, all living things in the surrounding sea, whether ferocious sea beasts or passing birds, died instantly, their corpses floating on the sea surface in a gruesome manner.

"This is……"

Ao Tong's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively stopped in his tracks, his entire body tensing with divine power.

"The legendary ghost ship?!"

"It is said that this ship has drifted in the North Sea for countless years, and anyone who encounters it will suffer misfortune, or even die a violent death. Even a sect leader-level expert would surely perish if he boarded this ship!"

Ao Tong's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

As an ancient woman with double pupils, she was most wary of things tainted by strange karma.

After all, ghost ships were infamous in ancient times.
