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

Chapter 48 Walking Alone

Suddenly, Shi Yi remembered something: he had swallowed the purple Qilin blood droplets in the blood pool during his trip, causing the blood pool to dry up.

This was the source of the once-a-decade Blood Pool Baptism at the Ancient Divine Mountain, and now it has vanished completely, meaning that ten years from now, there will be no more Blood Pool Baptisms.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

After all, ten years later, the desolate region has changed drastically. Most of the ancient divine mountains have fled to the upper realm, and the blood pool baptism will eventually become a thing of the past.

Furthermore, Shi Yi will be almost sixteen years old in ten years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have already risen to prominence. Who would dare to come to Shi Yi and ask about the Qilin Blood Pool?

Without giving it much thought, he activated his double pupils and scanned the end of the passage, trying to see if there was any way out.

The stone chamber was ancient, its walls bearing the marks of time. After Shi Yi devoured the Qilin blood droplets, the walls even showed signs of weathering. However, this did not mean that the walls were fragile; the terrifying Qilin patterns were still imprinted on them.

Even though Shi Yi had obtained the complete Qilin Treasure Technique, he couldn't shake these patterns in the slightest; the difference between the two was too great.

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly, dazzling in the dim light. He searched carefully, not letting go of any clue.

Finally, at the bottom of the blood pool containing the droplets of Qilin blood, he saw some clues.

There appears to be a vacuum zone at the bottom.

Shi Yi leaped into the blood pool, his eyes bursting with runes as he unleashed the great divine power of creating heaven and earth.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the bottom of the blood pool was torn open by Shi Yi's pupil power, revealing a large area of ​​dark space.

This is an underground passage, incredibly deep, with no known destination.

Shi Yi opened his double pupils and slowly walked into the passage. Although it was very dark around him, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, it was as bright as day to him because of his double pupils.

He walked along the path without encountering any obstacles; it seemed to be a path to survival specially prepared by the purple qilin for those with a predestined connection.

After walking for an unknown distance, Shi Yi finally saw the light. When he actually stepped out of the passage, he was shocked to find that he was already outside the Qilin Secret Realm.

He stepped out of the passageway and stood atop a hill, gazing at the majestic mountains and ridges.

This time, Shi Yi no longer saw the faint aura of the Qilin. The greatest opportunity hidden in the Qilin Secret Realm had already fallen into his hands, as if the true soul of the Qilin Secret Realm had been extracted.

He shook his head slightly, then turned and left.

Shi Yi is now a completely different person. Although he is still at the Blood Refining Realm, he has surpassed the Extreme Realm and can protect himself even when traveling alone in the Great Wilderness.

Therefore, he did not seek out adult golden spiders.

Of course, there are other reasons why I traveled alone.

The beings in the ancient sacred mountain were probably all focused on his entry into the Qilin Blood River passage. After all, he had broken history, turned the impossible into possible, and possessed the heaven-defying talent of double pupils. There was a high probability that he would achieve something within the passage and touch upon the Qilin Treasure Technique.

In this situation, Shi Yi's appearance is tantamount to placing himself at the center of a vortex.

If the ancient sacred mountains were to join forces and exert pressure on the Demon Spirit Lake, given the Demon Spirit Lake's resources, it would be difficult for it to protect Shi Yi.

Just like in the original novel, after Shi Yi was defeated in the Realm of the Void Gods, countless forces stormed the Demon Spirit Lake, vying for his body.

The Qilin Treasure Technique is one of the Ten Evil Techniques, and its allure is many times greater than that of the Double-Pupil Corpse. It's hard to say that those ancient divine mountains wouldn't be tempted.

It should be known that even the Celestial Race in the Upper Realm is crazy about the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, let alone the Divine Mountain forces in the Lower Realm.

Now, the only way is to go it alone for a while and avoid the limelight.

Some things are not up to Shi Yi to decide. If someone wants to search his primordial spirit to check whether he has obtained the Qilin Treasure Technique, Shi Yi is powerless to resist with his current strength.

Only when Shi Yi truly rises to power and gathers an invincible force can he deter those petty villains and stop them from hiding.

He had figured out the pros and cons and decided to leave Demon Spirit Lake and never return, lest he be targeted by the creatures of the Ancient Divine Mountain.

As for the karma of Demon Spirit Lake, Shi Yi will naturally repay it once he becomes stronger.

As for those who cared about him, Shi Yi chose to hide the mystery of his life and death, telling no one.

This is a matter of life and death, and there can be no carelessness whatsoever.

Now, Shi Yi's task is to find a way to cover up his double pupils.

In this desolate region, he is the only one with the talent of double pupils; others can recognize him simply by seeing his double pupils.

Currently, Shi Yi's expertise in double pupils has not yet reached the point where the double pupils are perfectly integrated and he is no different from a normal person; he can only rely on external forces to conceal it.

He pondered his situation and quickly moved away from the place.

He knew that his disappearance would inevitably alert the two Venerables of Demon Spirit Lake—the Old Golden Spider and the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider.

As soon as the two Venerable Ones made a move, other high-ranking members of the Ancient Divine Mountain would also turn their gazes in this direction.

The Qilin Treasure Technique is truly captivating. The fact that Shi Yi used the Qilin Step in front of a group of pure-blooded cubs and forcibly stepped into the passage will surely be known to those Venerable Ones of the Divine Mountains.

Shi Yi's safety can only be guaranteed if he gets away from this troublesome place in time.

As he flew away, he used secret techniques to conceal his figure and aura, his whole being moving swiftly through the wilderness like a sharp arrow.

Not long after, Shi Yi suddenly looked surprised and turned to gaze in the direction of the Qilin Secret Realm.

Over there, a golden aura shot straight into the sky like a pillar, instantly changing the weather and causing the heavens and earth to collapse.

Shi Yi was very familiar with this energy; it was none other than the Lord of Demon Spirit Lake—the Old Golden Spider.

After learning that Shi Yi had disappeared in the passage of the Qilin Blood Pool, the old golden spider spent a great deal of effort searching for his whereabouts, but in the end, he found nothing.

This enraged the old golden spider.

It should be noted that in order to baptize Shi Yi, Demon Spirit Lake paid a terrifying price, including the essence of the divine mountain and the blood of the heavenly gods. If Shi Yi dies in the Qilin Secret Realm, then Demon Spirit Lake will have gained nothing.

The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider was also furious. Its enormous and terrifying body stood above the clouds, its eyes cold and murderous, looking down at the towering mountains, trying to find Shi Yi's figure.

Unfortunately, no matter what methods the two Venerable Ones used, they could not find Shi Yi's whereabouts.

"Could it be that Yi'er really perished in the Qilin Secret Realm?" The old golden spider looked incredulous and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"No, Yi'er doesn't seem destined to die young. He has double pupils and great fortune, so he will surely turn misfortune into good fortune." The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider shook its head.

Shi Ziteng remained silent, but his eyes, like Erzhu's, were scanning the mountains and land ahead.

"According to the young prodigy of our clan, Yi'er had a great opportunity related to the Qilin before entering the Blood Pool."

Chapter 49 Mask

"I've heard that too. Yi'er relied on the legendary Qilin Step to force his way into that passage." The old golden spider nodded.

"Is it possible that Yi'er was blessed with good fortune and obtained the complete Qilin Treasure Technique inside that passage?" The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider made a bold guess.

Upon hearing this, Old Golden Spider and Shi Ziteng's eyes lit up. They both felt that this possibility was quite high. At the very least, Shi Yi could find the source of the Qilin Blood River and obtain the great opportunity hidden within.

If it were true, it would undoubtedly be a great thing, but they immediately thought of the other side of the story.

The complete Qilin Treasure Technique is enough to drive all the forces in the Ancient Divine Mountain mad. If Shi Yi obtains it and returns to Demon Spirit Lake, he will inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred.

If Shi Yi is unwilling to share the Qilin Treasure Technique, a secret method of the Ten Fiends level, the consequences are unpredictable.

While Erzhu was pondering, the Venerable-level experts from Taigu Pengshan, Taigu Pishan, and Houshan arrived together to inquire about Shi Yi's situation.

When Venerable Pengshan heard that Jin Yunteng had been defeated by Shi Yi of the human race in Demon Spirit Lake, he was greatly shocked. When he heard that Shi Yi had entered the Blood River Passage with the Qilin Step, he could no longer sit still and came together with the Venerables of the Pishan and Houshan forces.

On the surface, they were concerned about Shi Yi's situation, but in reality, they were trying to find out the truth about the Demon Spirit Lake.

Given that this concerns the Ten Evil Secret Techniques, which Venerable One could remain unmoved?

If it is truly confirmed that Demon Spirit Lake has obtained the complete Qilin Treasure Technique, the entire Desolate Region will go crazy, and the situation will be far beyond the control of Demon Spirit Lake alone.

“Since Guihu Shiyi represented Demon Spirit Lake in the Blood Pool Baptism, he is now a member of the younger generation of the Ancient Divine Mountain. As elders of the Divine Mountain, we should naturally be concerned about his safety.” When asked about his purpose, Venerable Pengshan said these words.

Old Golden Spider sneered inwardly. His words sounded so high-sounding, but in essence, he was after the Qilin Treasure Technique.

Houshan and Pishan were much more direct, questioning Molinghu directly whether they had discovered Shi Yi long ago and hidden him away.

"You two, don't push your luck!" the old golden spider shouted coldly, his body overflowing with terrifying golden blood energy that could almost shake the heavens and the earth.

Houshan Venerable and Pixiu Venerable, showing no weakness, released their own auras to fight against the old golden spider.

The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider, naturally not wanting the Old Golden Spider to suffer a loss, also joined in.

Just as a battle between Venerable Ones was about to erupt, Venerable Pengshan immediately stepped in to smooth things over, which gradually cooled down the intense atmosphere.

“If Yi’er had already left the Qilin Secret Realm, we would have brought him back to Demon Spirit Lake long ago. Why waste time here?” the old golden spider said coldly.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe your Demon Spirit Lake is putting on a show to deceive everyone and keep the Qilin Treasure Technique for yourself," the Pixiu Venerable said sarcastically.

"Yes, in the ancient sacred mountain, who doesn't know that the passage might contain the complete Qilin Treasure Technique? In the ancient times, our celestial ancestors left behind some fragments, which were recorded in the bone book."

Upon hearing this, the old golden spider was enraged, and all its pure golden spider legs were poised to strike, exuding a murderous aura.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger..."

Venerable Pengshan once again acted as a peacemaker, but he, too, coveted the Qilin Treasure Technique, though not as obviously as Houshan and Pishan.

In fact, it wasn't just those three Venerables; many other Venerables from the Divine Mountain were also paying attention to the situation here. Some enormous divine senses swept across the area, subtly indicating their stance.

Seeing this, the old golden spider no longer wanted to search for Shi Yi. Even if it found him and brought him back to Demon Spirit Lake, it would only bring more trouble and it wouldn't be able to protect him.

There was no way around it; the reputation of the Ten Fierce Treasures was too great and too tempting. The group of celestial ancestors who once created the Primordial Divine Mountain recorded related things in ancient books, including mentioning the Blood Pool Passage that they could not tread upon.

"Let's go, we're not looking anymore. Let whoever wants to look for him do it." The old golden spider said, reluctantly abandoning its plan to find Shi Yi.

"Heh, could it be that they're putting on an act for us, and that the human has already returned to Demon Spirit Lake?" The Hou Clan Venerable sneered.

"Demon Spirit Lake is open to everyone at any time. If you want to find Yi'er, just come here." The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider spoke, its voice loud and containing Daoist principles, echoing through the towering mountains.

This was not only to inform the Venerable Ones of the Ancient Divine Mountain, but also to tell Shi Yi that if he came out, he must not return to Demon Spirit Lake.

Seeing the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider in this state, many of the Divine Mountain Venerables began to believe that Shi Yi had not yet emerged.

Their gazes immediately turned to the majestic mountain range, and some of the divine mountain venerables also kept a close eye on the Demon Spirit Lake, trying to find any clues.

When Shi Yi, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away, saw the old golden spider releasing its blood energy, he knew that a storm about the Qilin Treasure Technique had already broken out.

Fortunately, he had read the book and had learned from Shi Hao's experience after the Kunpeng Method was leaked.

Being cautious is never a bad idea.

He turned around, no longer focusing on the center of the vortex, and sped away.

Currently, the search range of those forces from the Ancient Divine Mountain has not yet reached this area; otherwise, Shi Yi, a being at the Blood Transformation Realm, would not be able to flee so brazenly.

Before long, this place will be affected, and Shi Yi must get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

He activated his purple heart, and instantly, a huge heartbeat resounded, like thunder. The divine light of blood within Shi Yi's body immediately began to circulate rapidly, and raging purple flames erupted beneath his feet.

This is a clever use of the Qilin Treasure Technique, which can increase one's escape speed to a certain extent.

Then, Shi Yi sped off into the distance. Along the way, there were many ferocious beasts lurking in the wilderness, usually exuding a fierce and malevolent aura, their blood-red mouths killing countless people. When Shi Yi passed through their territories, he tried his best to conceal his aura and at the same time activated his double pupils to avoid dangerous areas.

If it is truly unavoidable to encounter some terrifying ancient beasts, Shi Yi can only use the power of the Qilin to intimidate them and make them retreat.

This is an innate difference in level, an absolute suppression at the soul level; the mere presence of their aura is enough to make those ferocious ancient beasts kneel and submit.

Relying on his double pupils and the power of the Qilin, Shi Yi traveled unimpeded, swiftly traversing the endless wilderness.

During this process, Shi Yi also used the yang energy generated in his left eye and the yin energy generated in his right eye to create a mask with a tai chi pattern on his face, with the two tai chi eyes located at the center of his eyebrows and his chin respectively.

Unlike ordinary masks, it is completely sealed, with no holes to expose the eyes, mouth, or nose.

From now on, this mask will likely accompany Shi Yi for a long time, until he is fearless.

Although obtaining the complete Qilin Treasure Technique comes at a great cost and is coveted by many beings, it is all worth it. The complete Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques are rare and hard to come by.

Chapter 50 The way out

Just as Shi Yi was fleeing at top speed, the Venerables of the Ancient Divine Mountain expanded the search area, and some powerful figures who had not shown themselves also appeared, no longer caring about the feelings of the powerful figures of Demon Spirit Lake.

Of course, they had a legitimate reason for doing so, claiming it was for Shi Yi's safety.

The two Venerables of Demon Spirit Lake were both anxious and angry at the sight, but they were helpless, since the Primordial Divine Mountain was not under their control.

"I hope Yi'er is lucky and can escape this calamity," the old golden spider sighed.

"At first, when I heard that Yi'er had entered the Blood River Passage, I was very excited, thinking that he would have a chance to obtain the legendary complete Qilin Treasure Technique. Later, I realized that the thing was a hot potato. Getting it might not be a good thing." The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider sighed to the sky, worried about Shi Yi's future.

Shi Ziteng remained silent, his gaze deep, as if he were deep in thought.

"Two Ancestors, we cannot sit idly by and watch the people of the Ancient Divine Mountain search for Yi'er," he suddenly transmitted his voice.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ziteng transmitted his voice again: "Yi'er is intelligent and must know that the Ten Evil Techniques are of great importance. If he can come out, he will definitely not walk into the trap and will flee this place of trouble as quickly as possible."
