Hearing the knocking at the door, Li Dao slowly awoke from his cultivation.

Upon opening the door, Xia Youyu was already standing in the doorway.

"Junior brother, let's go."

"I visited the Wu King's residence today and inquired about it. The Wu King is still in seclusion and has not come out for many years. There is no need to worry about being exposed."

"Let's go see that person with double pupils, and see if he really has three heads and six arms as the rumors say."

Seeing how thoughtful Xia Youyu was, Li Dao nodded and immediately followed her out.

"Boss, remember to come back soon."

Seeing that she was the only one left in the room, Xiaohua spoke with some sadness.

Upon hearing this, Li Dao glared at it fiercely before stepping out of the Chenyue Building.

Heading towards the direction of the Wu King's Mansion.

I couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

"I wonder what realm Shi Yi is at now?"

"And what about the power of double pupils?"

Chapter 41 The Martial King's Mansion

The capital of the Stone Kingdom, the residence of King Wu.

The vermilion gate, resembling flowing blood, is adorned with gold rivets, exuding an aura of nobility and grandeur.

Two lifelike ancient mythical beast statues are carved at either end of the gate, guarding the entrance as if they might awaken at any moment and devour anyone who comes to them.

Li Dao, Xia Youyu, and Liu Yun gracefully landed in front of the Wu King's Mansion.

The servants of the Prince Wu's mansion, who were guarding the gate, greeted the three people with respect upon their arrival.

"The three of you must be the seniors of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"The elder has already given instructions; please follow me."

Li Dao and the other two exchanged glances, but did not talk much. They followed the guard into the Wu King's mansion.

"Ha! Ha!"

"Accept!"

The three passed by the martial arts training ground of the Martial King's Mansion and saw that the disciples of the Martial King's Mansion were practicing Taoist magic on it, which looked like a thriving scene.

"The Martial King's Mansion truly lives up to its reputation as a once-powerful force. Judging from the spirit and energy of these disciples alone, they are quite remarkable."

Li Dao listened to the rumors about Xia Youyu, but only smiled slightly and did not comment further.

If it weren't for that incident many years ago, the Martial King's Mansion, with its two revered members, might have reached an even higher level of prestige.

The disciples of the Martial King's Mansion, who were practicing their Taoist arts in the training ground, all looked over when they saw Li Dao and the others.

Those of powerful families residing in the capital of the Stone Kingdom were naturally aware that the Butian Pavilion was opening its gates to recruit disciples.

I still have a lot of curiosity about the Butian Pavilion, which enjoys the pure land of the Great Wilderness.

"Such formidable strength! Just looking at them from afar gives off an intimidating and oppressive feeling."

"As expected of a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the one leading must be Xia Youyu, the senior sister of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. She really is a great beauty."

"The man following behind was also incredibly imposing; I wonder what his name was?"

Under the watchful eyes of many disciples of the Wu King's Mansion, the three of them, led by servants inside the gate, arrived at a luxurious hall.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees an elderly man with black hair, white beard, and piercing eyes sitting at the head of the table.

Upon seeing the three arrive, he calmly put down his teacup and gestured with his hand:

"Please forgive us for not being able to greet our distinguished guest who has come from afar."

Li Dao raised an eyebrow, noticing the arrogant look that flashed across the old man's face, but he showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

When Liu Yun saw the old man who simply raised his hand and remained calmly seated, her expression darkened.

They were, after all, representing the face of the Butian Pavilion, and came to invite Shi Yi, but the other party's attitude was truly unpleasant.

Xia Youyu understood perfectly well that this was a show of force. Although she was displeased, her expression remained unchanged, and she spoke calmly:

"I wonder if it is King Wu who is in power?"

"Even before getting close, I could feel his imposing presence; he must be the master of the Martial King's Mansion."

"This humble woman, Xia Youyu, greets Your Majesty King Wu."

puff--

Ishihara, who had been sitting calmly at the head of the table and paid little attention to the three of them, was about to take another sip of tea.

But upon hearing Xia Youyu's words, his hand trembled, and he spat out the tea in his mouth.

"Cough cough cough-"

Ishihara's face flushed red, whether from being choked or from anger, it was hard to tell.

If these words were to reach King Wu's ears, his own situation would be dire.

Li Dao, who had been watching everything from the sidelines, couldn't help but glance at Xia Youyu upon hearing these words.

"This senior sister looks gentle and dignified, but I didn't expect her to have such attainments in the Yin-Yang path."

After coughing violently for a while, Ishihara quickly recovered and said with a forced smile:

"I am Shi Yuan, but I am merely an elder in the Wu King's mansion. I am unworthy of such courtesy."

"Fellow Daoists of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, please take a seat."

However, Liu Yun, as a protector, was not so easily fooled.

"Fellow Daoist, you are merely an elder within the Martial King's Mansion, yet you are so arrogant."

"Could it be that you look down on my Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

The aura of the Inscription Realm erupted, and the already somewhat tense atmosphere suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

The reluctant, forced smile on Ishihara's face froze instantly.

"This……"

Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If this matter wasn't handled properly, his term as elder would be over.

He was originally from Shi Yi's faction, but was sent here to handle this matter because he was close to Shi Yi's faction, in order to increase his seniority.

I originally thought it was just a small matter, especially since I heard that the leader of the group from Butian Pavilion was just a girl.

Therefore, I became complacent, but I never expected that I would actually stumble on this issue.

Just as he was stammering, unsure how to answer, a voice came from outside the door.

"Fellow Daoists of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, please forgive us. It was my Martial King's Mansion that failed to provide adequate hospitality."

“Yi’er was in seclusion earlier. I went to find him, which took some time. I never expected this to happen.”

Please don't be offended.

Following the sound, they saw a sprightly old man dressed in a black robe with a jade pendant around his waist slowly walk in.

He took a few steps and appeared directly in front of Ishihara, giving him a look.

Then Ishihara, his face ashen, retreated.

Li Dao and the others paid little attention to the dead-dog-like Ishihara, and instead focused their attention on the old man.

"I am Shi Li. These two must be the esteemed disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young, their spirit is extraordinary."

"Please sit down and rest for a while. Yi'er will come over soon and we can have a proper chat."

"Young people should chat with other young people."

Seeing the other party's polite demeanor, Liu Yun also withdrew her imposing manner and led the two to sit down to the side.

His cold expression softened slightly, and he began to chat with Shi Li.

Listening to their pointless conversation, Li Dao felt like yawning.

Xia Youyu seemed to sense Li Dao's thoughts, turned her head, and looked at Li Dao with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

"What's with that expression on her face?"

Li Dao was speechless, but before he could ask a question, he heard a clear and steady footstep coming from the doorway.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a tall, handsome man with a slightly youthful face walked in.

What's most amazing is his pair of double pupils; wherever his gaze falls, it seems that all illusions have nowhere to hide.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, the light and darkness of heaven and earth are all within a single thought, and the primordial chaos of creation is faintly flowing within.

Every move he made exuded an aura of dominance, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Simply by standing there, it has become the center of the entire world.

It's no wonder everyone was curious. Who doesn't know the name "Double Pupils"? Faced with such a legendary figure, everyone would focus their attention on him.

"I've met Grandpa Li."

Shi Yi entered the main hall, ignoring Liu Yun and the others, and simply nodded to Shi Li.

Seeing Shi Yi's appearance, Li Dao raised an eyebrow and looked at the strange pupils in Shi Yi's eyes, feeling curious.

"If I could obtain these two pupils, I might be able to comprehend the divine power of double pupils!"

Chapter 42 First Impression of the Power of Double Pupils

Shi Yi felt a chill run down his spine and turned to look in the direction where Li Dao was.

With just one glance, one could sense Li Dao's extraordinary nature.

His physical body shimmered with a glassy halo, with faint Dao patterns appearing and disappearing on it.
