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

Along each bluestone path stood at least a thousand prodigies, all silently climbing, seemingly eager to be the first to reach the top.

Shi Yi was one of them. Being the first person to enter the Immortal Ancient City was nothing special and could not be used as a demonstration of strength. However, being the first person to reach the end of the Bluestone Road was different.

Because each of the three thousand bluestone paths carries a grand road, standing on them is like carrying the eternal blue sky on your back, and every step forward brings immense pressure.

Historically, the fastest person to traverse the bluestone road took a full ten days, which shows how difficult the road was.

Just like in the original story, Shi Hao remained at the very end, instead of moving forward like the others. Shi Yi was not surprised by this, because Shi Hao's path was hidden there.

He was different; his path lay in those colorful ancient worlds.

Back when he was at Tianyun Academy, Shi Yi had already consulted many ancient books related to the Immortal Ancient Realm. These were the experiences summarized by generations of Tianyun Academy disciples after entering the Immortal Ancient Realm, marking many ancient worlds.

One of the worlds is most suitable for Shi Yi to become a god. There is a river similar to the River of Time flowing there, and the laws of time are everywhere. The past, present, and future seem to be reversed, which is very chaotic.

For a venerable being who does not understand the Great Dao of Time, rashly entering that world is no different from courting death; the final outcome is that they will be lost within it and never be able to escape.

However, for beings who primarily cultivate the Way of Time, it is a rare and precious place for cultivation.

However, the Way of Time is too profound and mysterious, and apart from those with extraordinary talents, other beings generally do not take this path.

For Shi Yi, this mysterious world of time is perfect for him to ignite his divine fire and become a god. You should know that the forbidden sea of ​​suffering above his ten grotto heavens is filled with the power of time. The things he prepared to ignite his divine fire are also related to time, known as the "flower of the future," which comes from the number one spiritual root in the desolate region. All these factors indicate that this is the place where Shi Yi will achieve enlightenment.

Therefore, he wasted no time and proceeded directly along the ancient bluestone path, aiming to cross the initial land as quickly as possible, reach that world filled with the power of time, and then ignite the divine fire.

In terms of cultivation resources, Shi Yi is truly not lacking. Since arriving in the Upper Realm, he has had one adventure after another. His chaotic small world has long accumulated a vast amount of resources, enough for him to become a god. Moreover, his cultivation after becoming a god can be sustained for a long time.

"boom…"

A loud bang came, which surprised Shi Yi, who looked in that direction.

It turned out that some living beings had broken through the shackles and stormed onto the bluestone road where he was.

Each bluestone path leads to an endless, colorful ancient world; the entrances differ, and the destinations they lead to also differ.

Many beings desire a place of godhood that does not align with their initial path to godhood; therefore, they will cross to a bluestone path that matches their destination.

Doing so is bound to cause some disputes. After all, the one who reaches the end first is the strongest, and according to popular belief, he will be blessed and entangled by great fortune.

As the saying goes, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. This kind of thing is hard to explain, and no one can ignore it.

Therefore, whether there will be a major battle depends on how many powerful geniuses choose this path.

Shi Yi's destination happened to be the Qing Shi Road, which belonged to Tianyun Prefecture. He did not need to change his route across regions. However, many other geniuses from other major prefectures chose this route.

From the moment the first creature forcefully stormed into the path, a series of loud noises followed.

Several of these beings were extraordinary individuals, the strongest Venerables in their respective Dao states.

For example, the young supreme of the Golden Giant Clan, the first generation of the Fire Clan, the three-headed hellhound, and the holy maiden of the Nether Cloud Clan are all extraordinary individuals. In their respective Dao states, they are all the undisputed number one Venerables, looking down upon countless geniuses.

Besides them, there were many other powerful individuals who were no weaker than the first generation, or only slightly inferior to the first generation. They had cold expressions and an air of disdain, and they surged into this ancient bluestone road like a torrent.

Seeing this, the cultivators from Tianyun Prefecture couldn't help but frown. The more people who came, the fiercer the competition would be, which was something they didn't want to see.

Not everyone has the strength of the first generation and can remain calm and composed.

However, things had come to this point, and there was nothing they could do. No one would be a fool to stand up and drive out the other geniuses from the ancient roads.

Shi Yi remained silent, walking ahead of everyone else. Even Li Yuncong, the first generation leader of Tianyun Prefecture, could not keep up with him, leaving a considerable distance between them.

Faced with those sudden appearances of the first generation, Shi Yi only glanced at them and then paid no more attention.

"Hmm? Who is that person, who is so far ahead of everyone else?" The young supreme of the Golden Giant race, who was visiting this ancient road for the first time, was slightly surprised.

The three-headed hellhound, the Fire Clan's divine son, and the Cloud Clan's holy maiden all noticed this.

As one of the top-ranked Daozhou among the three thousand Daozhou, it is not surprising that Tianyunzhou has first-generation experts. However, the fact that Shi Yi is so far ahead of others is far beyond their expectations.

Logically speaking, only legendary figures, that is, ancient freaks, could do such a thing.

After learning a little about Shi Yi's achievements and background, the creatures were somewhat relieved, confirming that Shi Yi was a prodigy of the time, not a freak hidden away since ancient times.

"It must be a young supreme being secretly cultivated by the Heavenly Meteor Academy. Given their understanding of the Great Dao corresponding to this ancient road, it's not surprising that they can travel faster," the Holy Maiden of the Youyun Clan murmured.

Next, the ancient bluestone road belonging to Tianyun Prefecture was quiet. The creatures from the outside world did not stir up any trouble. Before many opportunities had been encountered, who would risk their life to fight for no reason? Everyone was enduring the pressure on the ancient road and burying themselves in their journey.

Shi Yi stood far ahead of all living beings, becoming someone others had to look up to.

Despite the efforts of the original generation who followed, they were unable to close the gap and could only watch helplessly as he went further and further away.

Li Yuncong, the first generation of Tianyun Academy, was once defeated by Shi Yi. Only he knew how strong Shi Yi was, so he was not surprised by Shi Yi's performance.

"how is this possible?"

The Fire Clan's divine son looked on in disbelief, unable to believe that the Heavenly Meteor Academy possessed such a powerful prodigy.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, nine days had gone by. Shi Yi had left all the creatures on this road behind and was about to reach the end of the passage.

On other bluestone paths, there are also many supreme beings who are about to reach the top, only a little behind him. These include the Ten-Crown King, the mysterious ancient freak, and others, all of whom are not slow.

Nine days—this has already surpassed the record for the fastest passage in history. This lifetime is destined to be the most glorious and splendid ever.

But for those who were first generation, even if they tried their best, it would take them about eleven days to reach the end. Even if they were not far from it, they would have to take it slowly. They had to know that every step after that would be extremely difficult.

Just as Shi Yi was about to step onto the end of the ancient bluestone road and head towards his beloved colorful ancient world, he suddenly sensed surging waves behind him. Someone couldn't hold back and attacked him.

It wasn't just one person, but more than a dozen; all of them were beings from the outside world who had broken through the barriers and stormed into this path.

Several of them were the strongest Venerables in their respective Dao states, and the others were not much different. With such a lineup, even a powerful first-generation like Li Yuncong would have to give way and would not be able to compete with them.

Seeing that Shi Yi was about to become the first to reach the summit, they were extremely unwilling and wanted to use a group attack to keep Shi Yi in the game.

This path does not restrict combat between cultivators, so they can fight freely.

Shi Yi's eyes turned slightly cold. He turned around, and his Taiyin double pupils glowed. In an instant, his body was isolated from the outside world. Within a radius of one zhang centered on himself, there was a pure land, inviolable by all laws.

More than a dozen attacks came, but they vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

At this very moment, outside, many sect leaders once again exerted their power, pouring their magic into the petals of the Immortal Ancient Flower, reflecting the scene inside the Immortal Ancient Flower.

Many ancient prodigies were brought to light, including the six-time champion Ning Chuan battling against ancient geniuses, the ten-time champion with no rivals climbing toward the very top, and the dual-bone supreme Qin Hao wreaking havoc, killing the first generation with the supreme bone beam...

The scene where Shi Yi was located also appeared on the mirror.

The dean and vice-dean of Tianyun Academy all arrived. Seeing him surrounded and targeted by more than a dozen powerful enemies, they couldn't help but feel a tightness in their chests.

However, thinking about Shi Yi's performance in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, they felt relieved.

"Who is this person? He's incredibly strong. Among all the prodigies, he's the fastest, but he's very unlucky. He's been targeted by more than a dozen powerful individuals."

"Judging from his attire, he should be a disciple of Tianyun Academy. When did Tianyun Academy produce such a powerful figure?"

Just as people outside were discussing the matter, Shi Yi made his move. He didn't say much, but his attack on his back meant it was a fight to the death.

"How dare you! You dare to attack so many of us who are on the same path. Even if you are an ancient freak, you will still be defeated." The young supreme of the Golden Giant Clan coldly shouted.

The others sneered, ready to use their most powerful methods at any moment.

However, when Shi Yi actually launched his attack, they realized what a huge mistake it had been to provoke him.

Double pupils open the heavens!

Shi Yi unleashed this terrifying secret technique with one eye, holding nothing back. His powerful pupil energy surged and transformed into an invisible beam of light, as if to shatter the chaos and recreate the universe.

In an instant, the Double Pupil Heaven-Opening Technique descended upon the dozen or so prodigies. The void shattered, and the dozen or so prodigies, caught off guard, fell into it.

The young prodigy of the Golden Giant Clan was shocked and hurriedly activated the unique Dharma Form of the Golden Giant, which was enormous, towering, solid, and indestructible, as if it were cast from gold.

To achieve this Dharma form, he consumed countless potent medicines and underwent numerous trials and tribulations before finally succeeding.

They thought that blocking Shi Yi's attack would be no problem, but then the sound of cracking and collapse came from the golden giant's Dharma form.

The three-headed hellhound opened its blood-red maw and roared out sonic waves from hell, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The Fire Clan's divine son was engulfed in raging flames, scorching the void into a charred black.

The Holy Maiden of the Youyun Clan then revealed her true form, exhaling clouds and mist to resist Shi Yi's double pupil power.

The other prodigies also showed no mercy, each unleashing their strongest techniques.

However, in the face of absolute power, all struggles are in vain.

Shi Yi's Taiyin double pupils were dazzling, with countless symbols flashing within them.

The power of creation shattered the void, destroying the sun, moon, and stars. A dozen prodigies shouted and tried to resist, but were crushed by the double-pupiled creation. The next moment, blood splattered and screams rang out. All of the dozen prodigies died tragically, with no one surviving.

The stench of blood assaulted everyone on the bluestone path behind them.

The creatures outside were also shocked. Who was this? It was too terrifying. Standing there motionless, he had killed more than a dozen powerful young people with just one double pupil. You should know that among them were four of the strongest Venerables in the province.

"Double pupils!"

"That's Shi Yi! He actually went to Tianyun Prefecture and became a disciple of Tianyun Academy."

People were astonished. They had long heard of Shi Yi's great name, not only for his deeds in the lower realm, but also for leaving his name on the Demon Lord's Stele on Devil Island, the Tianyuan Secret Realm, and so on.

The cult leaders also had deep thoughts in their eyes. This young man was extraordinary, possessing multiple of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, which was very appealing.

Immediately, someone sent a message to the old dean of Tianyun Academy, claiming that he was willing to exchange immortal scriptures for the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.

The old dean remained expressionless and stated directly that Tianyun Academy would not forcibly seize the disciples' destiny and had not included the Ten Evil Techniques.

Chapter 236 The World of Time

"Is it really Shi Yi?"

Someone raised doubts.

After all, Shi Yi in the Immortal Ancient World clearly only had one double pupil, while everyone knew that he had both pupils when he was in the lower realm.

"Why is only his right eye a double pupil? What happened to his left eye? Did someone gouge it out?"

"Buzz!"

A fluctuation emanated from an ancient bronze palace, where a powerful being sitting cross-legged made its move to verify whether the being who had slain more than a dozen prodigies was indeed Shi Yi, the double-pupiled being from the lower realm.

The next moment, a giant hand shrouded in chaotic energy reached out from the ancient hall and wrote the two characters "Shi Yi" in the void.

The petals suddenly glowed, reflecting Shi Yi's image. He stood alone at the highest point, with blood and bones at his feet.

"Is it really him?"

"What about his left eye? It has a double pupil, it's an absolute treasure."

……

There was a lot of discussion outside, with many people wondering where Shi Yi's left eye was, and whether it had been gouged out.

"He only has one double pupil in his right eye, yet he is still so terrifying. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if he had both eyes intact."

At this moment, someone made this assumption, and people immediately showed a solemn expression: if Shi Yi's eyes were still there, those ancient freaks would be afraid, and he might be able to sweep through the Immortal Ancient Realm.

For a time, people exclaimed that those with double pupils were said to be born emperors or saints, proving that the ancients were right.

Suddenly, Shi Yi sensed the gazes of the crowd outside the Immortal Ancient Flower Petals.

He looked in one direction, which, to outsiders, appeared to be face-to-face with them.

Shi Yi's expression was indifferent. The Seventy-Two Transformations technique on his face faded, revealing his true appearance. He was indeed very handsome, with sharp features and a heroic bearing. His black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were deep and extremely calm. He didn't look like a young man at all, but more like an old monster who had lived for many years.

His eyes were sharp, as if they pierced through the barriers of the immortal realm, penetrating into the outside world and looking down upon all living beings.

"That look in his eyes..."

Some cultivators at the Divine Fire Realm couldn't bear it any longer. Even when they looked directly into Shi Yi's double pupils through the petals of the Immortal Ancient Flower, they felt a chill run down their spines.

"Hmph, so what if he's amazing? He's still a remnant of a sinful race. Once he leaves the Immortal Ancient Realm, he'll surely die without a burial place." Someone sneered and said this.

Among the three thousand Dao states, there are many forces that hate the Sin Clan. They cannot tolerate the emergence of geniuses like Shi Yi and Shi Hao among the Sin Clan. If it weren't for the Immortal Ancient Realm separating them, they would have already gone to kill and annihilate the Sin Clan's geniuses.

The former dean and vice dean of Tianyun Academy had slightly cold eyes, but they did not have the impulse to refute.

There's no point in arguing. If Shi Yi leaves the Immortal Ancient Realm and is targeted, they won't stand idly by, since Shi Yi is representing the Heavenly Meteor Academy in this expedition.

Just then, Shi Yi activated the four symbols within his body, unleashing his immense magical power. Instantly, the images of him in the outside world began to blur, and after a period of distortion, they turned into a chaotic void.

This astonishing scene left everyone speechless.

There are conditions for concealing one's figure in the Immortal Ancient City. One must cultivate immortal energy. Otherwise, it is impossible to avoid detection from the outside world. But now, Shi Yi has blocked such detection before even stepping out of the blue stone road. How can such a method not make people's hearts pound?

"What a double-pupiled person! Is he trying to hide which ancient realm he's heading to?"

"What kind of method is this? It's unheard of."

People were astonished, even the old monsters were pondering, was the double pupil really that terrifying? Even the Immortal Ancient Petal couldn't discern its form?
