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

Ultimately, both forces retreated simultaneously, without continuing their attack on each other.

Although Shi Hao really wanted to test his cousin's strength and have a real battle with him, this was a foreign land, and the occasion was not appropriate. It would be best to wait until they returned to the Nine Heavens and had a chance to fight.

Seeing the two retreat at the same time, the alien creatures watching were stunned. This was far beyond their expectations. This was the first time Huang had retreated and had not rushed forward directly.

This shows what?

This shows that Pu Yu's strength is beyond imagination, making Huangdu feel wary.

Instantly, the alien creatures were in an uproar, regarding "Pu Yu" as the strongest among the younger generation, whose popularity was unparalleled. Even He Ziming, who had always been recognized as the number one, was placed below Pu Yu. Some even placed "Pu Yu" above the imperial clan's prodigies, saying that he had broken through the shackles and surpassed the imperial clan in one fell swoop.

Although Yinlun and Chiming also found it strange, they didn't think it was that far-fetched. They believed that Huang withdrew his gaze because he was in a hurry to reach the top and seize the Enlightenment Tea.

After hearing the increasingly outrageous rumors about the alien creature, the two were completely dumbfounded. How could the people who had been following them not know how strong Pu Yu was?

Pu Yu had just admitted that he was still a little short of being a desolate being. Now, the words and actions of these alien beings had elevated Pu Yu to an extremely high position. If he angered the desolate being, this great killer might very well turn around and cause trouble for Pu Yu.

Fortunately, this did not happen. Huang seemed to be focused on drinking the Enlightenment Tea and did not care about Pu Yu and the others behind him.

Soon, Shi Hao reached the top of the mountain, where the rocks beneath his feet had turned into a metallic texture, which was quite peculiar.

The mountaintop is vast and can accommodate a large number of creatures. There are strange rocks, like divine swords stuck in the mountain peaks, as well as ancient trees, lush and verdant, with bark like twisted dragons.

In addition, there was a faint ethereal aura flowing in the void, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere.

Of course, none of these are the most important things. Ultimately, what matters most is the aroma of tea wafting from the mountaintop, which refreshes the mind and body.

The fragrance was refreshing and invigorating, making one's mind clear and tranquil, as if one were about to enter a state of enlightenment.

All of this is because a celestial tree grows atop the mountain, surrounded by a shroud of light, with powerful beings sitting around it, protecting it.

"Huang, how dare you be so arrogant!"

As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, a roar erupted, its sound like thunder, making many people's ears ring and causing them to lose their balance.

At the summit, numerous geniuses from other realms were distributed according to their strength. The stronger one was, the closer one could get to the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Here, everything depended on strength.

The creatures that rebuked the wilderness stood at the highest point, looking down upon all living beings.

This was a man in blue, who looked to be in his thirties, with his hands behind his back, looking down at Shi Hao.

He was incredibly powerful; wisps of chaotic energy emanated from his physical body, blurring and distorting the void.

Shi Yi and the other two also came up. Originally, Yin Lun and Chi Xiangming stopped, unwilling to get too close to Huang, for fear that this guy would suddenly kill them.

However, Shi Yi remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't even seen Shi Hao, and simply brushed past him.

Silver Wheel and Crimson Nether had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow behind Shi Yi. This was the closest they had ever come to Huang, only a zhang away. If Huang were to become murderous and attack them at this moment, the two believed they would die a terrible death.

Don't be fooled by their fact that they are a whole realm ahead of Huang; in reality, it's completely useless.

Fortunately, in the end, this did not happen. Huang remained standing in place, his gaze coldly fixed on the blue-clad man at the mountaintop, ignoring Shi Yi and his two companions who were passing by.

Silver Wheel and Crimson Nether breathed a sigh of relief; their backs were cold and their palms were sweating.

The alien creatures below became even more excited upon seeing this.

"Is this Lord Pu Yu? He is indeed invincible, completely ignoring Huang, surpassing him, and walking ahead of him. Tell me, besides Lord Pu Yu, who dares to do this?"

"Yes, we can no longer call you Lord Pu Yu, we should call you King Pu."

……

Shi Hao ignored these words and instead glared menacingly at the man in blue. After a heated exchange of words, they attacked each other.

The man in blue dared to intercept him for a reason. On one hand, he was one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the previous generation, with formidable strength, and was of the same generation as Silver Wheel and Crimson Nether. On the other hand, the man in blue was at the Escape One Realm, a whole major realm higher than Shi Hao, which gave him great confidence.

As expected, the battle was fierce, with chaotic energy erupting everywhere. The people from the alien realm cheered, finally someone could confront Huang head-on.

However, their joy was short-lived. After only fifty-odd moves, Shi Hao dispersed the chaotic energy, rushed to the blue-clad creature, and tore it in two.

Chapter 390 The Light of a Great Era

"This……"

The alien creatures were shocked.

This time, Huang crushed the previous generation's Ten Heavenly Kings, peerless kings who stood at the Escape One Realm, many times stronger than the Martial Heavenly King and others he had killed before.

It hasn't been long, and he's already evolved to this point. This speed is astonishing.

Unparalleled hero!

These four words appeared in the minds of all living beings. They were certain that Huang was an unparalleled hero. Otherwise, how could he have evolved so quickly? How could he have been valued by the Immortal King?

Shi Hao stood atop the corpse of the blue-clad creature, his gaze cold and sweeping across the surroundings with an air of disdain. No one dared to meet his eyes.

Things are different now. He is no longer a prisoner in shackles. Now he is free from the constraints of power and can fight any living being with all his might. Moreover, he can kill people without paying any price.

Anlan's ancient beast pulling the cart, the old wolf god himself, gave the order not to harm Shi Hao's life. Who would dare disobey? Even the immortals dared not defy the will of the immortal king.

"This guy is truly a peerless genius who has never been seen before," Silver Wheel exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Chi Ming nodded.

Although they disliked Huang, hated him, and hoped he would be defeated by the powerful beings from other realms, they had to admit that Huang was incredibly powerful, beyond imagination. If he were placed in another realm, he would definitely be able to establish an immortal clan all by himself in the future.

Shi Yi didn't pay attention to Shi Hao's side. He led Yin Lun and Chi Ming, surpassed Huang, and reached the summit of Wudao Mountain first.

"Greetings, Lord Pu Yu."

Suddenly, a creature stepped forward and bowed to Shi Yi.

This person was actually a half-step Supreme.

Seeing this, Yinlun and Chiming were secretly surprised, and felt the gap between themselves and Pu Yu growing wider and wider. Even a powerhouse like a half-step supreme had to bow down to Pu Yu.

It's highly likely that outsiders heard about Pu Yu's journey of enlightenment and continuous accumulation of knowledge, and made an assessment of his strength. Coupled with his earlier act of defying the wilderness and confronting it head-on, they have become even more optimistic about Pu Yu's abilities.

Shi Yi nodded slightly, his face expressionless.

Then I stepped onto the mountaintop.

The scenery here is very pleasant, with lush green grass. Each blade of grass is less than three inches long, growing bright and crystal clear, as if cast from gemstones, radiating a soft light and overflowing with rich spiritual energy.

Many creatures sat on the ground, looking very relaxed. Among them were the pride of various royal families and the young people of imperial families.

The young prodigies from the imperial clans whom we had met in Blackwater City had all arrived. They sat cross-legged, keeping a distance between each other to avoid any clashes when they competed for the Enlightenment Ancient Tea leaves later.

Kings don't meet, they don't want to fight each other at the Enlightenment Tea Party, as that would only benefit others.

The same applies to the royal prodigies; each person's seat position is carefully chosen and not so simple.

Shi Yi's arrival immediately attracted the attention of these beings. Wherever his gaze fell, all the royal prodigies responded with smiles and goodwill. Now, who didn't know that Pu Yu's future was limitless?

Keep in mind that he hasn't returned to the ancestral land of the Pumo clan yet, and hasn't undergone the bloodline baptism. Once it's completed, his strength will reach a new level, which is terrifying just to think about.

When Shi Yi's gaze met that of the young man from the Imperial Clan, he was met with goodwill. No one wanted to offend a newly promoted supreme genius for no reason.

"Pu Yu, come over here," Pu Hong transmitted his voice, hoping that Shi Yi would sit next to him, so that it would reflect his identity as a member of the Pu Demon Clan.

However, Shi Yi did not get what he wanted.

"Never mind, Brother Pu Hong, we're sitting in the same direction, I'm afraid there won't be enough tea to go around."

Pu Hong wasn't angry; instead, he nodded in agreement. He knew that Pu Yu was at a crucial moment in his enlightenment and needed a large amount of enlightenment tea leaves to help him break through.

“If you don’t have enough later, I can share some with you,” Pu Hong said.

Since he had already said that, what could Shi Yi say? He could only nod in response.

In the end, Shi Yi found a suitable direction. This area was not yet occupied by imperial clan prodigies, and royal clan prodigies were scarce, making it perfect for him to collect tea leaves.

Yinlun and Chiming hesitated slightly before deciding not to follow Shi Yi, as doing so would be seen as taking advantage of Shi Yi's tea. This was a crucial moment, and they couldn't afford to hold him back.

Shi Yi didn't say anything about their choices. For him, this journey to a foreign land was coming to an end, and all the goodwill and karma from before would vanish like a dream.

Only after he sat down cross-legged did he have enough time to examine the exotic treasure.

It is rooted in the very center of the mountaintop, shrouded in mist, with a refreshing fragrance wafting through the air, reaching Shi Yi's nose and mouth. Even before truly tasting the tea brewed from the Wudao tea leaves, he already felt a sense of comfort and tranquility.

It was an old tree with a thick trunk and cracked bark, like dragon scales, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. No one knew how many long years it had lived.

Its most unique feature is its leaves, each one exceptionally radiant, emitting a holy glow, like streaks of stars falling down and entwining the branches.

They are all different in shape and colorful, and no two leaves are exactly the same.

When a gentle breeze blows, all the tea leaves sway, and the ancient tea tree of Wudao radiates light, releasing a refreshing fragrance that relaxes the body and makes the spirit glow, as if one is about to enter the realm of enlightenment.

"It's indeed a good thing."

Shi Yi nodded.

He had been looking forward to this ancient tea, whose leaves could help people attain enlightenment, for a long time.

At that moment, a commotion arose from the entrance to the mountaintop. Huang had arrived, descending with an air of superiority over all living beings.

In stark contrast to Shi Yi's experience, his arrival was met with nothing but cold stares and murderous intent.

Shi Hao didn't care at all.

Suddenly, he sensed a terrifying aura locking onto him from afar, emanating from a prodigy of an imperial clan.

This is Chi Menghong, a young man from the Crimson King Clan, an imperial clan. He is extremely powerful and arrived at this grand event very early, waiting directly at the mountaintop for the opening of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea.

Even when his future brother-in-law was killed by Shi Hao, he did not show up.

"You really are heartless. You didn't even help your own brother-in-law when he was in danger. You just sat on the mountaintop and watched him die," Shi Hao said calmly.

"Hmph, you can't even last ten moves against him. This kind of trash wants to marry into my clan?" Chi Menghong said with a cold snort.

He was very dashing, with long, flowing hair, and looked incredibly young. His red eyes were like rubies or blood-red suns, captivating and awe-inspiring.

He possessed an otherworldly air, exuding an aura of invincibility. He was composed and self-assured, sitting quietly cross-legged like an insurmountable ancient demonic mountain.

Shi Hao arrived, disregarding the rules here, and went straight for Chi Menghong.

The latter, not to be outdone, responded in kind, and the mere clash of their auras caused the mountaintop to shake and the void to crack open, creating a terrifying scene.

"Stop! If you want a full-blown battle, please leave the central area!" An old man intervened, clearing everything away and issuing a warning.

"Ara, enjoy your last moments while you can, or you'll never have another chance."

Chi Menghong remained calm and composed as his war servant behind him spoke.

Shi Hao originally didn't want to pay any attention to it. What was his status? If he got into an argument with a war servant, he would definitely make a fool of himself.

But the more indulgent he was, the more excited the servant became, spewing out all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

Finally, Shi Hao made his move. A terrifying secret power descended, intending to kill those talkative servants and get rid of them. Out of sight, out of mind.

However, Chi Menghong intervened in time, barely managing to save the servant's life.

"The time is almost up; the tea leaves are about to ripen, and we can prepare to harvest them!" Suddenly, someone said.

Instantly, the crowd erupted in noise, and without exception, everyone showed joy, their eyes shining as they stared intently at the ancient, vigorous tree.

The leaves on it are not very lush, and they look sparse. This is not an exception, but the norm for the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree. It has always been like this.

This does not affect the quality of Wudao tea; every leaf hanging on the branch is the essence of the tea.

"One piece, two pieces... three hundred pieces... three thousand pieces!"

People counted them and found there were exactly three thousand pieces, which seemed to foreshadow the three thousand great paths.

Everyone was overjoyed. Relatively speaking, this was a great harvest. Each time this supreme immortal tree matures, it takes hundreds or thousands of years. They were truly lucky to catch it at such a young age.

"Offer sacrifices first!"

An old man spoke.

Subsequently, the creatures sitting around the ancient tea tree performed a special sacrificial ceremony for it.

After doing all this, the old man took action and plucked down the three thousand leaves from the immortal tree one by one. Some resembled swords, some spears, some bells, and some cauldrons... and so on. Each leaf was different and contained the mysteries of the Great Dao of the Heavens.

The harvested tea leaves were placed in three thousand different jade jars and then placed on an altar below.

The altar, made of earth, emitted a soft light that enveloped the three thousand jade jars, forming a luminous curtain that was peaceful and serene.

"The Enlightenment Tea Ceremony begins now. Everyone shall obtain it by their own means," an old man shouted.

"It depends on both strength and chance. You can only take one tea leaf at a time, brew it, drink it, and successfully comprehend the Dao before you can take another one," another elder explained the rules.

“Every tea leaf contains a profound truth. The type of tea you obtain may indicate the path you should take,” an old man hinted.

Soon, everyone moved, each using their powerful magic to try and grab the jade jar behind the light barrier.
