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

Seeing that Shi Yi remained unmoved, Kong Qiuji said nothing more, could only sigh, and then turned and left.

This time, several young peacocks will engage in a debate and exchange of skills with the most outstanding members of the Celestial Race who have fused with the Destiny Stone. This is definitely a major event for both races, and the Peacock God Lord, the elders of the Celestial Race, and others will personally come forward to pay attention to it.

However, none of this concerns Shi Yi anymore.

His mind was completely focused on the ruins of the Immortal Ancient Site.

Not long after, Kong Qiuji arrived and informed Shi Yi of the results of their discussion.

Among the few prodigies in the Celestial Race who successfully fused with the Destiny Stone, a young man named You Yu was the most amazing and incredibly powerful. In his battle against Kong Xuan, the first generation of the Peacock Race, he astonished everyone and successfully suppressed Kong Xuan, drawing cheers from the Celestial Race cultivators and establishing his position as the number one young person in the Celestial Race.

Mentioning this matter, Kong Qiuji couldn't help but sigh. If the Celestial Race hadn't discovered the Destiny Stone, no one among the younger generation would have been able to defeat Kong Xuan. It can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

"What does the future hold for the peacock clan?" He shook his head.

Shi Yi did not respond, but simply watched him leave.

The next morning, the voice of the Peacock God rang in Shi Yi's ears, telling him that it was time to set off.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi stood up and walked out of the ancient hall. The God Lord had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. Upon seeing him appear, he immediately waved his palm, sending out a five-colored divine light that enveloped Shi Yi before disappearing.

Soon, they left the City of Heaven and entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains outside the city.

This place is very primitive, inhabited by many ferocious beasts, and is a natural hunting ground for the Celestial Race. It also grows an endless supply of spiritual herbs.

Some areas are enclosed by the Celestial Race as their medicinal herb gardens and beast farms, and are only open to cultivators during specific periods each year. As a major race, the Celestial Race naturally understands the principle of not exhausting resources.

The spatial node that the Peacock God and Shi Yi were heading to was located in the beast field where the Celestial Race had imprisoned them.

Previously, Shi Hao almost became a Daoist couple with the two brightest stars of the Celestial Race. In order to get rid of Shi Hao, the two women lured him to the spatial node under the pretext of hunting and gathering herbs, and told him the secrets there.

At that time, Shi Hao was determined to escape. Even though he knew that the two bright pearls were plotting something, he was willing to fall for it and wanted to escape the Celestial Race's confinement by entering the ancient ruins behind the spatial node.

Unfortunately, at the crucial moment, he was dragged back by a chain of divine order. Qi Tuo, the god of the Celestial Race, had been secretly following Shi Hao to prevent him from escaping, thus ruining Shi Hao's escape plan.

Now, the Peacock God and Shi Yi have also arrived at the abyss. This time, no one is secretly following them, and no one will appear to stop them.

"This is the place. I will wait for you here. If you do not return after a month, I will turn around and leave, taking Qiu Ji, Kong Xuan and the others back to the Peacock Clan," said the Peacock God Lord.

If Shi Yi's backup plans couldn't help him escape, then the Peacock God Lord's arrival would be pointless. Therefore, he directly stated his plan.

Shi Yi understood all of this perfectly, nodded in response, then bid farewell and turned to rush into the abyss.

A fierce wind howled, causing Shi Yi's battle robe to flutter loudly. The sound of the wind around him grew stronger, indicating that Shi Yi's speed was constantly increasing.

With his double pupils wide open, he had already pinpointed the location of the spatial node.

Just as he was about to touch the spatial node, a chaotic mist burst forth from Shi Yi's right wrist, enveloping him layer by layer before rushing into the node and being swallowed up by the silver storm.

The Peacock God stood above the abyss, calmly watching all of this.

That silver storm was not something that a being at the peak of the Venerable level could withstand. Even a divine fire or a true god would be cut into pieces by the sharp spatial rules. Shi Yi plunged into it, clearly having a means of self-protection, so there was nothing to worry about.

Before long, the abyss returned to its former tranquility. The Peacock God Lord sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes slightly, and waited quietly...

……

In the void, a spatial storm raged violently, and all sorts of strange scenes emerged, colorful and bizarre, with even the power of time flowing by like a long river. It was as if Shi Yi was on a mysterious journey through time.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was unharmed despite being shrouded in chaotic mist. He successfully passed through the spatial passage and arrived at the legendary ancient ruins.

What greets you is the grand rules unique to the Immortal Ancient Era, but it is severely damaged, clearly indicating that this ancient site has suffered the ravages of a great war.

Shi Yi stood on the ground, scanning his surroundings warily, recalling the ancient books he had previously studied.

Based on the terrain, he determined his current location and planned several routes leading to several known ruins.

These ruins were all places explored by the Celestial Race's ancestors, so they were not unfamiliar to Shi Yi. Going to these places would guarantee his safety, and the Celestial Race's ancestors might not have obtained all the opportunities, so he might be able to find some hidden gems.

With plenty of time to spare, Shi Yi's first choice was naturally to go to the places with the least risk.

His first choice was a mottled bronze ancient temple, standing amidst towering mountains, its surface covered with marks left by various weapons, surrounded by collapsed and abandoned buildings, all covered in a thick layer of dust.

According to the records of the Celestial Sages, this ancient bronze palace was used in the previous era to stimulate the power of the bloodlines of living beings.

Whether they are Celestial Kings or True Immortals, their descendants cannot escape the gradual weakening of their bloodline power. At this time, the ancient bronze palaces built at great cost come in handy. They contain amazing energy fields that have a certain chance of stimulating the hidden bloodline factors within living beings, although the chance is very low.

An ancient sage of the Celestial Race once ventured into it, triggering the energy field within the Bronze Temple. Initially, it flourished and shone brightly, but then inexplicably withered away.

Afterwards, the Celestial Race experts who were traveling with them discovered something amiss: a corner of the ancient bronze palace had been corrupted by a strange power, causing a certain change in the palace's function.

Subsequently, this place was marked as a forbidden area, warning future generations not to attempt to enter it.

Shi Yi came to this place out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of strange changes had occurred in the ancient bronze palace.

He opened his Taiyin double pupils and stared at that dark corner of land. The dark light was dazzling and gave people an ominous feeling. Shi Yi felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end after just a few glances.

"how?"

Shi Yi asked.

"This place was originally sacred and safe, at most causing life to feel tired. But now, because it has been corrupted by a strange power, it has changed and gained an aura of death. Ordinary living beings that come into contact with it will die instantly..."

"I think you can go in and give it a try. Prepare some life-restoring pills beforehand so you can use them at any time. Plus, you have the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique, and the Taiyin Body is originally from the same source as death energy, so there shouldn't be any major problems," the Reincarnation Disc responded.

Shi Yi nodded.

The Wheel of Reincarnation would never harm him; since it said so, he had no reason not to give it a try.

As for why Shi Yi wanted to try, it was because he was a member of the Shi clan, and his ancestors were Immortal Kings. In terms of lineage, he was a descendant of Immortal Kings. However, the lineage was too distant, and he had long since returned to an ordinary life. Of course, Shi Yi also benefited from the legacy of his ancestors; his double pupil talent originated from his ancestors.

Then, just in case, Shi Yi first prepared life-replenishing pills in his mouth. These pills were made from extremely precious medicinal herbs and could fight against death energy and save his life in critical moments.

Having done all this, he took a deep breath and stepped into the ancient bronze palace that had been sealed for countless years.

It was very quiet here, completely silent, and the sound of Shi Yi's footsteps could be clearly heard echoing in the empty temple.

He stepped out and arrived at the very center of a magic array inside the ancient bronze hall.

Before Shi Yi could make any move, the entire ancient hall trembled. The next moment, radiant immortal light flowed out from the field, rich in strange power of rules that could resonate with the most basic blood factors in the human body, stimulating the enormous potential hidden within.

At the same time, the corner contaminated by the strange power also released a terrifying death aura, instantly chilling the interior of the ancient hall, as if stepping into a bitter winter.

The deathly aura was fierce and silent, like a curse, creeping in and invading Shi Yi's body along with the holy light.

Even though Shi Yi was a Taiyin clone, he still felt an indescribable chill, as if he were about to freeze in the next second.

He revealed a look of horror. No wonder the Celestial Race experts who came in and were tainted by the death aura would inexplicably wither away and eventually perish. This death aura was too terrifying, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Shi Yi's physical body was already strong enough, but it was still inexplicably withering away. Even though the power of Taiyin and the death energy were from the same source, it was still somewhat unable to resist it.

He gasped, realizing that the level of this deathly aura was unimaginably high.

"boom!"

Left with no other choice, Shi Yi had to use the True Phoenix Nirvana technique. Flames raged, and he turned to ashes in the flames, only to be reborn from the ashes and regain his life.

This happened seven times in a row.

Despite Shi Yi's profound attainments in the True Phoenix Method, he could only undergo Nirvana eight times at most.

If he undergoes another rebirth, he will likely run out of ideas.

The sacred divine light that can unleash the potential of bloodline power has reached its most crucial moment.

Without further hesitation, Shi Yi crushed the numerous potent medicines he had prepared beforehand. Instantly, the power of life surged into his abdomen, sweeping through his limbs and bones like a vast ocean, resisting the terrifying death energy that had invaded his body.

Watching the speed at which life was fading away, Shi Yi felt a chill run down his spine; these pills wouldn't last much longer either.

In the final moments, he finally gained something. His entire body was filled with endless bloodline factors that boiled over, as if a human treasure trove had been opened, instantly unleashing astonishing power.

Shi Yi could no longer hold on; death energy was entering his body in large quantities, corroding his life.

He immediately activated the Kunpeng Technique and rushed out of the bronze ancient hall. If he stayed any longer, he would die without a burial place.

Once Shi Yi broke out of the field, he used his eighth Nirvana Rebirth to clear the death energy from his body, which was like a leech clinging to his bones.

Only then did Shi Yi breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been reborn.

"I didn't expect this death energy to be so terrifying." The Samsara Disc was also somewhat surprised. It originally thought that Shi Yi, with all his advantages, would have no problem resisting it, but the reality was unexpected.

"Fortunately, we had the True Phoenix Technique; otherwise, it would have been impossible to hold on until our bloodline factors underwent a transformation," Shi Yi said, still shaken.

At this moment, the symbol between his eyebrows, which symbolized "sin" in this world and "glory" in the ancient immortal realm, mysteriously spread out and transformed into a divine network that covered Shi Yi's forehead, looking mysterious and eerie.

This is a symbol of the initial awakening of bloodline power. If used during a major battle, it can greatly enhance Shi Yi's abilities and be of considerable use.

With a thought, he immediately broke free from that state.

“We’ve already been to the Bronze Palace, now…” Shi Yi muttered to himself.

Soon after, he set off again, heading towards a known site of ruins.

This is also an ancient temple, much larger than the bronze temple. It was a residence, possibly the abode of a true immortal, and relatively speaking, the safest of the several ruins.

Shi Yi strolled around the grand ancient hall, which was almost empty. Most of the things that could be moved had been taken away by the Celestial Race experts, and the remaining items were not of much value. Shi Yi looked around but failed to find anything worthwhile.

He withdrew in disappointment, and at that moment, a chilling coldness swept over his entire body, giving Shi Yi goosebumps.

His double pupils shone brightly as he gazed in one direction. In an instant, a dark shadow flashed by, and one could vaguely make out that it was a humanoid creature covered in long hair.

"Is that the strange creature formed from condensed malevolent energy?" Shi Yi muttered to himself.

This creature is described in the ancient texts of the Celestial Race as a combination of malevolent energy, bloodthirsty and murderous, the embodiment of evil, active within the ruins of the Immortal Ancient Realm.

A powerful member of the Celestial Race once encountered this, and was wiped out in an instant. In the end, only one person escaped with serious injuries, leaving behind relevant information before dying.

Now, Shi Yi has also encountered this evil entity, which has already set its sights on him.

"Roughly equivalent to the strength of a senior cult leader," the Samsara Disc gave a rough estimate.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi felt relieved. As long as it wasn't a supreme-level evil entity, it couldn't threaten his life.

As for whether there are evil creatures of this level in this ancient ruin, no one can be sure. After all, the area that has been explored is only less than one-tenth of the total area. Many places are covered with terrifying patterns and rules that even supreme beings fear, making them difficult to approach.

"Don't worry about it for now. If it tries to attack and harms me, then kill it," Shi Yi said.

The Wheel of Reincarnation is understood intuitively.

Afterwards, Shi Yi left the empty abode of the True Immortal and headed towards the third known ruin.

The evil creature, a senior cult leader, followed closely behind Shi Yi, maintaining a certain distance. It frequently stared at Shi Yi with a vicious and resentful gaze, making the latter feel like he had a thorn in his side.

Chapter 227 Immortal Well

Next, Shi Yi began exploring the third ruin. During this process, he pretended to accidentally trigger a restriction, suffered a severe injury, and coughed up a large amount of blood.

Seeing this, the long-haired evil spirit behind him could no longer hold back and transformed into a strange black whirlwind, sweeping towards the "injured" Shi Yi.

Seeing this, Shi Yi was "panicked" and showed a flustered expression.

The long-haired evil spirit couldn't help but let out a terrifying, ear-piercing laugh.

It was highly intelligent. Even though Shi Yi's cultivation was far inferior to its, it did not impulsively pounce on him. It knew that a mere Venerable One who dared to explore this place must be carrying some secret treasure.

Countless ages ago, it had encountered a similar situation when a young man injured it and it took a long time to recover.

So this time, it waited patiently until Shi Yi was seriously injured before revealing its fangs.

However, just as the long-haired evil spirit was about to pounce on Shi Yi, the latter's expression suddenly changed drastically. The panic on his face disappeared and was replaced by a meaningful smile.

The long-haired evil spirit was somewhat surprised, its eyes filled with vigilance, but it was too late to retreat now.

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying wave burst forth from Shi Yi's right wrist, enveloping the black whirlwind.

This power was too terrifying; even a powerful, long-haired evil spirit at the level of a seasoned cult leader could not withstand it and was directly suppressed.

It emitted a piercing shriek and charged left and right, but still couldn't break free.

Then, a magnificent wave swept out, and in an instant, the long-haired evil spirit lost its life force and was suppressed and killed on the spot.

"If this evil spirit were to go to the outside world, it would definitely cause those major sects a great deal of trouble, as it already possesses the cultivation of the Escape One Realm," the Reincarnation Disc said.

"Escape from the One? With the strength of the Three Thousand Dao States, that is indeed troublesome." Shi Yi nodded.

Among the three thousand provinces, many forces once possessed supreme beings, but currently there are very few forces with living supreme beings. If a demonic spirit at the Escape One Realm were to leave, it would be like a fish entering the ocean, making it very difficult to capture.

After resolving such a major threat, Shi Yi's journey became much calmer.

Following the layout of the ancient ruins from his memory, he walked through the ruins that the Celestial Race's ancestors had explored.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find anything worthwhile. The only thing I gained was the bloodline factor that had begun to awaken in that ancient bronze palace, which was the divine rune.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

"Next, I will head to the truly dangerous area." Shi Yi stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the distant region shrouded in celestial mist.
