Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

Ancient Immortal Realm, Nighttime, Heavenly God Mountain Range.

On the mountainside, a bonfire burned, illuminating the faces of the two people.

They have different temperaments and different eyebrows, but their eyes are remarkably similar, both being the legendary double pupils!

Shi Yi stared at the fire, his gaze deep and unfathomable. The fire seemed to have transformed into another person in his eyes, someone who had once defeated him and shattered the myth of his double pupils and supreme bone.

"Yang Jian, which do you think is stronger, the Supreme Bone or the Double Pupils?" Suddenly, Shi Yi looked at Yang Jian, wanting to seek an answer from another person with double pupils.

"Do you think I would mention double pupils?" Yang Jian looked at him and shook his head. "These two things can only guarantee the lower limit. As for strength, it always depends on the person. There are plenty of people in the world who don't have these two things but have gone even further."

Crackling sounds filled the air as the firewood burned and sparks flew. Shi Yi listened thoughtfully to Yang Jian's words, then touched his chest and closed his double pupils. "Yang Jian, you are a descendant of the Immortal Ancients. Have you ever thought about what you want to do after you get out?"

The remnants of the Immortal Ancients are a special group. Some are descendants of those who survived the ancient era, while others are descendants of the geniuses of each generation who entered this place and reproduced with the local creatures. Without exception, they all carry a mysterious curse.

"After you get out?" Yang Jian repeated the three words, then suddenly laughed. "That's too broad. It's pointless to talk about things too far ahead. For me, there are only three things: lift the curse, go home, and become stronger. However, these three things are actually one thing: ascend to the Immortal Palace and reach the pinnacle of the Dao!"

Both lifting the ancient curse and finding the way home require becoming stronger.

"Not bad. Right now, there's only one thing I want to do: prove something!" Shi Yi nodded upon hearing this, and ran his fingers over his eyes, his double pupils shining exceptionally bright in the darkness. "Double pupils are the path to invincibility; there's no need to borrow bones from others."

Double pupils? Yang Jian smiled upon hearing this, his slightly different double pupils fixed on Shi Yi. "How far can your eyes see?"

Under the night sky, two pairs of double pupils turned. One left eye burned with pitch-black flames, while the right eye shimmered with the radiance of creation. The blinking of the eyes was like the creation of heaven and earth. The other left eye had ten paths intertwined, ever-changing, while the right eye had endless dreams and illusions, revealing the beauty of a mirage. The opening and closing of the eyes was like the reversal of reality and illusion in the world, with truth and falsehood both visible in the eyes.

That night, nothing more was said.

The next day, at dawn.

Shi Yi had finished resting and was at his peak, ready to ignite the divine fire.

"When do you plan to ignite the divine fire?" He looked at Yang Jian, also curious about how this ancient immortal with double pupils would ignite the divine fire.

This is a watershed moment for all the prodigies out there; some use immortal blood as fire, some use the World Tree as fire, and that is no longer the transformation of the Divine Fire Realm in the ordinary sense. The word "ignite" is not enough to express the true meaning. Those people are unique and different from others!

"After suppressing the ancient holy son," Yang Jian replied, showing great interest in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture. It was said to be a legacy comparable to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Great Burning Heaven Technique, a force that rivaled the Immortal Palace. However, it withdrew from the stage of history before it could even show its power, which was truly a pity.

At this point in time when they had just entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, some of those ancient freaks had not yet ignited their divine fire. To be precise, they only broke through to the divine fire level after Shi Hao did.

For example, the Ten-Crown King ignited the divine fire using the World Tree, and the Six-Crown King ignited the divine fire using the True Immortal's hand bone; therefore, the Ancient Holy Son, the Dark God Son, the Fallen God Son, and others also ignited their divine fires during this period.

It is no exaggeration for Yang Jian to go and suppress the ancient holy son. Both of them are at the Venerable Realm, and he is confident that he can subdue the other party.

A moment later, the two left, but a middle-aged man with gray hair and a black robe appeared on the horizon, blocking their way. He had a cloth covering his eyes.

"I am from Fallen God Ridge, and my master is the Fallen God's Son," the middle-aged man said, his expression arrogant and his tone self-important, yet his words caused those around him to change color.

This is an extremely terrifying sect. Fallen gods become demons, and they are one of the four great ancestral courts of the demonic path, making them the most terrifying.

"The Fallen God Child?" Shi Yi raised an eyebrow. The Fallen God Child was an ancient freak. Although he only appeared once and won the title of the world's number one, he had killed a triple crown king and a double crown king, and his fame shook the three thousand states. Among the ancient freaks, he was considered to be quite powerful.

"What does it have to do with me?" Yang Jian didn't even look at him and walked straight ahead.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "We hope to form an alliance with you, fellow Daoist. My master has also said that as long as you are willing to assist him and join forces to sweep away the Immortal Ancient, he can solve the problem of the Ancient Saint Son for you. You should know that the freak of that temple is confident that he can take a step out of the Immortal Qi, which is beyond your ability to contend with."

"Deal with the Ancient Saint Son? You want me to assist him?" Yang Jian scoffed upon hearing this, shaking his head with his hands behind his back. "What a ridiculous joke! Not to mention what the Fallen God Son is, how dare he talk about assisting him! What is the Ancient Saint Son anyway? I'm going to suppress him, why would I need help?"

You're too naive; you don't understand at all!

"This person with double pupils has quite the audacity and arrogance, daring to suppress the ancient saint single-handedly?" The onlookers were astonished. This was too arrogant, specifically naming and threatening to suppress an ancient freak who was famous throughout the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man paused slightly. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not show it on his face. He simply cupped his hands again and said, "Fellow Daoist, although you are a dragon among men, you should also know the principle that two fists cannot fight four hands. You have offended the Ancient Saint Son and made enemies of the four forces that followed you in the first generation: the Demon Dragon Dao Sect, Sword Valley, Fire Cloud Cave, and Immortal Palace. Now you still want to oppose Fallen God Ridge? Isn't that too arrogant!"

"What a shame!"

Yang Jian chuckled, then flicked his sleeve, suddenly creating a gust of wind that swept the middle-aged man into the air, sending him flying and tumbling into the distance, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

Everyone was stunned. When they turned their gaze away from the guest from Fallen God Ridge who had flown away, Yang Jian had already disappeared from the scene.

"The one with double pupils seeks to suppress the ancient holy son; a great battle between ancient freaks has begun!"

"Too fast, it could even be said to have happened ahead of schedule. These battles were supposed to take place after the divine fire was ignited, but now they've been deliberately disrupted by the one with double pupils!"

In an instant, the crowd erupted in excitement, frantically searching for information, eager to know the location of the temple's stronghold, not wanting to miss an impending battle!

Meanwhile, Yang Jian strolled with his hands behind his back, walking through the void. A golden trail appeared in the vision of his double pupils, the aura left behind when he met the ancient saint.

Now that the double pupils have captured it, they've tracked it all the way here!

The next moment, Yang Jian reached the end of this small world. With a sweep of his eyes, he unleashed his Kunlu Blade, cleaving through the boundary wall and creating a path to other small worlds.

In the vision of the double pupils, the outside world was a series of colorful bubbles, shrouded in chaotic energy, exuding a terrifying aura even in their blurriness. Each bubble represented a region, and this was the true face of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

These bubbles also intertwine, meaning that various places can be connected. They may appear small, but each region is actually vast and boundless. Some places are sacred and peaceful, while some ancient lands are filled with immense danger.

"Found you." With a sweep of his double pupils, everything was laid bare. Yang Jian chuckled and stepped directly into a new world.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Realm, at the Temple stronghold.

This stronghold was newly built because the ancient holy son discovered a divine pool here containing Vajra Liquid and Chaos Divine Liquid. The liquids in it can cause a great transformation in the physique of living beings, and are rare treasures that are hard to find in the outside world.

The temple's retinue then occupied the place and built a temporary cave dwelling there.

Right now, the ancient holy son was sitting cross-legged in front of the divine pool, preparing to collect the divine liquid to baptize his body, but suddenly he raised his head, looked at the sky, and revealed a strange expression.

In the sky, a scarlet meteor broke through the boundary, descending with rolling flames, right to this place!

That aura was undisguised, flamboyant and unrestrained, as if turning the world upside down. Along the way, the aura surged, and wherever it passed, mountains and rivers collapsed and were scattered!

Its shape and face were indistinct, but its eyes were exceptionally clear.

That's... double pupils!

"The one with double pupils has arrived so quickly?" The ancient saint's expression hardened, and without hesitation, he abandoned his breakthrough and stood up to prepare for the attack.

Unfortunately, his plan to ignite the divine fire here was interrupted by Yang Jian's attack.

The battle of ancient freaks was forced to begin earlier than expected.
