Perfect World: Double Pupils Open the Heavens, Ascend to Immortality

Afterwards, Shi Yi discussed the Dao with the young peacocks present and exchanged cultivation experiences. He gained very little from the whole process, but the young peacocks gained a lot.

The old peacock watched in amazement at Shi Yi's talent, which even made him, a peak True God, feel somewhat inferior. Shi Yi often hit the nail on the head and was full of witty remarks that drew admiration. He truly deserved to be a first-generation master.

Even Kong Xuan, the young supreme of the Peacock Clan, was impressed by Shi Yi's profound knowledge and chatted and drank with him.

"No matter what, you have to admit the Great Demon King's strength," Kong Qiuji muttered to himself.

Before long, the exchange meeting reached its most important part: the discussion and exchange of ideas.

Many young peacocks wanted to see just how strong this mysterious first generation was. Judging from the discussion just now, he was definitely no worse than Kong Xuan, and might even be stronger than Kong Xuan.

The old peacock took out a treasure, which was five-colored and faintly emitted a five-colored divine light.

"This is the Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror, a treasure of my Peacock Clan. It contains a space within, which can be used by cultivators to spar and compete."

"Fellow Daoist Tu, would you be willing to offer some guidance?" Kong Xuan immediately stood up and extended an invitation. Apart from him, none of the other peacocks present had the confidence to challenge Shi Yi.

Shi Yi chuckled and replied, "Why not? To say you'll teach me is a bit too much. Let's just have a simple exchange and stop there."

Kong Xuan smiled and nodded.

The two of them entered the Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror together and landed on a Taoist platform.

Before entering, Shi Yi had already inquired whether the Samsara Disc was dangerous. Only after receiving a negative answer did he boldly step inside. Otherwise, Shi Yi would not have easily put himself in danger.

"Fellow Daoist Tu, please."

After saying that, Kong Xuan made his move. As expected of the young supreme of the Peacock Clan, his blood and qi power was comparable to the first generation, and his control and understanding of the Great Dao rules were not inferior. According to Shi Yi's estimate, he was only slightly inferior to Li Yuncong of Tianyun Academy in Tianyun Prefecture.

However, with the Five-Colored Divine Light enhancing him, it's hard to say who would win if Kong Xuan really fought Li Yuncong.

Shi Yi wasn't serious; a first-generation opponent couldn't make him take things seriously. Throughout the process, he was simply dissecting his opponent's moves, doing so subtly and gradually.

Having experienced so many battles, Shi Yi's combat awareness and instincts have long surpassed his current level, reaching a state of perfection.

Kong Xuan understood this best; no matter how he attacked, Shi Yi could always defuse the situation with a few words.

However, Shi Yi never took the initiative to make a move, nor did he unleash any great supernatural powers, which surprised Kong Xuan. Just how strong was this mysterious first-generation earth Daoist?

After several hundred moves, Kong Xuan decided to use his trump card to test Shi Yi's limits.

“Fellow Daoist Tu, be careful. Next, I will use my clan’s forbidden secret technique—Five-Colored Divine Light, which can cleanse anything. Anything within the Five Elements cannot escape the divine light’s restraint,” Kong Xuan said.

Shi Yi smiled and said, "I had long heard about how powerful the Five-Colored Divine Light of the nobles was, but I am only fortunate enough to see it today."

Kong Xuan remained silent. He unleashed his full power, revealing his true form as a magnificent five-colored peacock. Five feathers of different colors adorned his tail, radiating intense light at the same moment. The next instant, five-colored divine light burst forth from the feathers, like a five-colored rainbow piercing the sky and rushing towards Shi Yi.

It was too fast, and it locked onto Shi Yi firmly, making it impossible to avoid.

Shi Yi's face remained calm as he simply stretched out his palm towards the Five-Colored Divine Light. A vortex suddenly appeared in his palm, like a gaping maw of an abyss, devouring everything. Even the legendary Five-Colored Divine Light could not escape being swallowed and was completely absorbed into the vortex.

Chapter 219 The Sacred Peacock

Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light was completely devoured, failing to achieve its intended effect, and the so-called "sweeping away everything" was never demonstrated.

The entire audience was astonished. That was Kong Xuan, the young supreme of the Peacock Clan, a first-generation cultivator. Yet, he was so powerless in the face of Shi Yi. Anyone with eyes could see that he had exhausted all his tricks and had already used his strongest methods.

In contrast, Shi Yi only used the Devouring Technique from beginning to end, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Tu is so strong, I admire you. I admit defeat." After a slight pause, Kong Xuan burst into laughter, without becoming angry or embarrassed.

Perhaps he was mentally prepared for this when he was discussing the Dao.

"Not at all, fellow Daoist is no less impressive. I am certain to achieve a good ranking on this trip to the Immortal Ancient Realm, and my name will resound throughout the Three Thousand Dao States," Shi Yi said modestly.

Kong Xuan chuckled and shook his head. He and Shi Yi walked out of the Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror side by side. After returning to the pavilion, the two toasted each other and chatted happily, getting along very well.

Er Tuzi was not surprised by this. Kong Xuan was a straightforward and generous person. Even though Er Tuzi had become one of the most favored juniors of the Peacock God, Kong Xuan had never shown any jealousy.

Other young talents of the Peacock Clan also frequently toasted Shi Yi. They knew that this "Fellow Daoist" was incredibly strong, perhaps even on par with the recently emerging Demon Kings.

Soon, everyone was talking about the rising demon kings in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, and they all marveled at their power, which even overshadowed the famous successor of the Immortal Palace.

"If one day, Fellow Daoist Tu were to face those two demon kings, perhaps he would have a fighting chance." After pondering for a long time, Kong Xuan came to this conclusion.

"There will be a day when they clash. The budding immortals, the confluence of a hundred rivers into the sea, the struggle for supremacy among heroes... it's truly something to aspire to," Shi Yi sighed.

His words resonated with the young talents present. They were all at the age of passion and enthusiasm, how could they not yearn for such a magnificent event?

"When the Immortal Flower Buds bloomed last time, our clan's prodigies only achieved a score of over 7,000, far from our clan's best ranking of over ten. I wonder if we can rebuild the glory of the Peacock Clan this time." Someone said.

Kong Xuan suddenly felt immense pressure.

"This is the last time it will be open. At that time, those ancient monsters that were hidden away by the old monster will be born and participate. I'll be lucky if I can kill within three thousand."

……

The exchange meeting ended, and Shi Yi bid farewell to the group of peacocks, heading towards the ancient hall where he would rest.

He walked slowly, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.

"The deity says he wants to see you."

It was the bald guy that Shi Yi had been waiting for.

Shi Yi smiled and followed the route Kong Qiuji had indicated, transmitting his voice all the way until he finally arrived in front of a magnificent five-colored hall.

This is the resting place of the Peacock God. As the lord of a clan, his palace is naturally extraordinary, possessing a grand and imposing aura.

Shi Yi walked calmly into the main hall, his mind constantly reviewing and predicting.

He came here for the Peacock Clan's secret techniques. How could such things be easily passed on to outsiders? If negotiations fail and fall apart, it's quite normal for a fight to break out.

The Five-Colored Temple was vast and magnificent, with dozens of towering pillars supporting the sky, carved beams and painted rafters, and shrouded in chaotic mist.

A humanoid creature stood in the center of the hall, its hands behind its back, facing away from Shi Yi, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

Upon noticing Shi Yi's arrival, he turned around. He was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, but his eyes were deep and weathered. He was tall and imposing, surrounded by chaotic energy and accompanied by five-colored rays of light.

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly, unable to fathom the depths of this being. Though he stood there, he gave off an air of detachment, as if he did not belong to the mortal world.

He knew that this was the effect of the five-colored glow, which also blocked the prying eyes of the double pupils.

"This junior pays respects to the Peacock God." Shi Yi bowed to the Peacock God with the respect due to a junior.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his eyes scanning Shi Yi for a moment before speaking.

"You shouldn't have the surname Tu (土), but Shi (石), right?"

Despite having his secret exposed, Shi Yi remained calm and composed, saying, "Was it Kong Qiuji who told the deity?"

"No, the Five-Colored Divine Mirror is a priceless treasure. You can fool others, but you can't fool me." The Peacock God shook his head.

"Given your circumstances, how dare you swagger into the ancestral land of my Peacock Clan? Aren't you afraid I'll suppress you?" he continued, as a terrifying pressure swept towards Shi Yi.

However, this oppressive force was neutralized by some power as soon as it approached Shi Yi. At the same time, the Samsara Disc released its oppressive force, pressing down on the Peacock God.

The latter was shocked, realizing that the young man in front of him was not as simple as he had imagined.

"Speak, what is the purpose of your visit to the Peacock Clan?" The Peacock God exuded an aura of majesty, his pupils displaying five colors as he stared directly into Shi Yi's eyes, his gaze full of scrutiny.

"I have come for the precious techniques of the Peacock Clan," Shi Yi stated his purpose directly.

"The Peacock Clan's precious techniques are closely guarded secrets, how could they possibly be passed on to outsiders? If you have truly come for this reason, then you will likely be disappointed." The Peacock God Lord refused without hesitation, and his expression was somewhat cold.

If a cultivator who is not yet at the Divine Fire Realm comes over and asks for his clan's original treasure technique, even the most good-tempered person will get angry.

"A secret that's not to be passed down? I doubt it. The God Lord is too confident."

Shi Yi asked in return, and the next moment, a huge star rose above his head, with a lifelike five-colored peacock on it, incomparably beautiful, like the most beautiful creature in the world.

Upon seeing this, the Peacock God was momentarily speechless, as Shi Yi had mastered the Peacock Treasure Technique very completely.

As a god-lord, being humiliated by a venerable cultivator was indeed somewhat embarrassing. However, he still possessed the composure and magnanimity expected of a god-lord.

"Since you have already mastered my clan's precious technique, why do you say you came for it?" he asked with a hint of doubt.

“In fact, I came for the sacred Peacock Technique,” ​​Shi Yi replied.

"The Sacred Peacock Technique!"

Upon hearing the word "sacred," the Peacock God's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.

"How do you know about the Sacred Peacock?" he asked, staring intently into Shi Yi's eyes.

"The sacred peacock clan originated from the Immortal Realm, and to this day, the clan remains prosperous. This is not a great secret; it's just that the people here are ignorant and have no idea about it."

"The Immortal Realm..."

The Peacock God Lord gasped in surprise; he hadn't expected Shi Yi to know so much.

His expression was uncertain, and he no longer possessed the composure that a god should have. This matter concerned the Peacock Clan, and he could no longer remain as calm as before.

Soon after, he gave Shi Yi an answer that greatly displeased him.

"Just as you said, the sacred peacock is in the Immortal Realm; you've come to the wrong place."

Shi Yi didn't frown, but instead chuckled. If he really came to the wrong place, why would the Peacock God Lord hesitate for so long?

"My Lord, I misjudged you."

The Peacock God frowned, puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"According to Kong Qiuji, the Peacock God Lord was a powerful figure with great talent and ambition, a leader of a sect, who would lead his people to revival and restore their former glory. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such a hesitant person."

No matter how powerful or extraordinary the Sacred Peacock Technique is, it is useless if you cannot obtain it.

Do you want to wait for an unparalleled genius to emerge from the Peacock Clan, bring out the sacred Peacock Technique, and then lead the Peacock Clan to glory? I can only say, you're dreaming.

"What does the three thousandth opening of the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud mean? I think you, as the leader of a great clan, should know. The cycle of eras is about to end. Does your clan still have time to wait for the so-called true Son of Heaven to appear?" Shi Yi asked, his words as powerful and resounding as the tolling of a great bell.

The Peacock God was also shocked and began to re-examine the little Venerable before him. Shi Yi knew far too much, and with just a few words, he had guessed most of the situation of the Peacock Clan and his plans. It was truly terrifying.

In the end, all he could do was sigh, "Those with double pupils truly live up to their name."

"We indeed cannot retrieve the sacred Peacock Technique; even the most brilliant generation of that time ended in failure."

In that generation, more than a dozen of our clan's prodigies fought their way through the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud. That sage was full of confidence as he went to retrieve the sacred Peacock Treasure Technique, but he tragically died on the way. If it weren't for that accident, our Peacock Clan would surely have had another supreme expert, and would not have fallen into such a state of decline." The Peacock God Lord no longer concealed anything and directly revealed a secret history of their clan.

Shi Yi remained silent. Of the dozen or so Immortal Ancient Flower Buds, the most they could achieve was at the top-tier first-generation level. They weren't even considered ancient freaks. Those beings who could be called ancient freaks all had experience winning championships, so it was normal that they couldn't produce one.

After all, it was the sacred Peacock Law passed down from the Immortal Realm, so the threshold set was definitely based on the standards of the sacred Peacock Clan.

“I can retrieve it for the nobles; the God should know my strength,” Shi Yi tentatively stated.

The Peacock God remained silent, lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons.

"can."

Finally, he spoke up and made the decision.

Shi Yi's previous words struck a chord with him. The three thousandth bloom of the Immortal Flower Bud signified the end of this era, a fact known to many great sect leaders, including himself. Did the Peacock Clan still have time to wait? What difference was there between guarding a treasure mountain without being able to take it and having nothing at all?

Why not let Shi Yi give it a try? If he succeeds, the Peacock Clan will undergo a complete transformation. If he fails, he won't have to pay anything, since it was Shi Yi who asked to go.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Peacock God finally made up his mind to open the door of convenience for Shi Yi, an outsider.

Throughout history, no outsiders have ever approached that area except for the peacock race. The Peacock God's decision was quite bold.

"If you bring out the sacred Peacock Method, you must perfectly replicate it for our clan," he demanded.

"It's natural."

“Words are meaningless; I swear by my Dao heart,” the Peacock God Lord declared.

"no problem……"

Only after Shi Yi finished swearing did the Peacock God's expression relax.

He told Shi Yi to go back and prepare, and that they would set off the next day.

Shi Yi nodded, bid farewell, and left the Five-Colored Temple, leaving only the Peacock God Lord standing alone in the main hall.

"It went even more smoothly than I expected," Shi Yi murmured.

"The Peacock Clan is even more anxious than you. After all, they've been guarding this place for so many years, and they're probably already itching to see it. Plus, there's the legend of the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud opening for the third thousandth time, marking the end of an era. It's no wonder they're anxious," said the Reincarnation Disc.

"Haha, that's true."

Shi Yi chuckled softly.

As they were talking, a young cultivator walked towards them. It was none other than Er Tuzi Kong Qiuji. After transforming into human form, he was extremely handsome, and there was no trace of the bald bird he once was.
