Thinking of this, Shi Hao chuckled softly, feeling as if the cries of monkeys on both banks could not be stopped, and his light boat had already passed through countless mountains.
However, the next second, a sudden coughing sound appeared above his head.
"Brother, why are you laughing? Have you been struck by lightning and gone mad?" Shi Yi said with a smile.
Shi Hao's expression froze. How could he not know that the other party had seen his process of rebirth?
“You are truly hateful. You secretly hid away to attain Nirvana without me noticing, and then you came up on top of me when I was in Nirvana.”
"They're not here to steal my skills, are they?" Shi Hao couldn't help but mutter.
"Heh, open your eyes and see which incarnation I am," Shi Yi sneered.
Shi Hao then looked up to observe carefully. To his surprise, he discovered that Shi Yi was still in his first life, and his blood and energy were still at their peak, showing no signs of decline. Only a few strands of white hair at his temples showed the marks of time.
"This... how is this possible? You took some kind of longevity-extending medicine?" Shi Hao was a little shocked.
He studied the secret arts so diligently and tried so hard to pursue the path to immortality, but he only lived for 30,000 years in his first life. When Shi Yi lived for 30,000 years, his hair had just turned white. That's terrifying.
"To be honest, did your ancestors have the bloodline of the Xuanwu clan?"
"Is it so hard to admit that you're not as good as me?" Shi Yi spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression.
Shi Hao snorted coldly, already acknowledging his cousin's ascension system in his heart. That mysterious human body balance was indeed something special.
In fact, beings like them all know the importance of this thing.
It is important to understand that the human body is a whole, and often a change in one part affects the whole. His secret method is to break through the surface by focusing on one point, gathering the five strong points in the human body, and finally achieving balance. Then, with a leap of his might, he ascends to the realm of immortality.
Shi Yi's ascension system maintained this balance in the human body from beginning to end, making him a perfect evolutionary machine that defies common sense.
That's why he was able to suppress Shi Hao's true form in that battle at the pinnacle of the Dao.
Under the same cultivation level, in all the heavens and myriad realms, who dares to say they can suppress Shi Hao, who has opened up the secret realm technique? Only Shi Yi.
It was only because he had an external advantage, having mastered the Immortal Emperor's Law beforehand, that he was able to drag Shi Yi down and fight him to the point of mutual injury. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the battle to reach that level.
"You didn't use the recording stone to record it again, did you?" Shi Hao asked suspiciously.
"When you start to doubt it, it's already happened," Shi Yi replied casually.
"Fine, fine, you'd better stay far away and don't let me catch you." Shi Hao laughed angrily as he said this.
He didn't believe that Shi Yi's life was equivalent to his two lives. Shi Hao estimated that Shi Yi had already begun to decline and would live for at most another 20,000 years.
When Shi Yi needs to sever his old body and usher in a new life, he vows to find Shi Yi and take a group photo with him.
"Little brother, your ambitions are lofty, but reality is cruel," Shi Yi chuckled.
Next, the two stopped joking. Shi Yi gave Shi Hao the insights he had gained from the Footprint Emperor on the Mortal Realm Platform. These things could provide inspiration for beings like them who were struggling in the mortal world.
As Shi Yi did this, a ball of chaotic fire suddenly appeared in Shi Hao's body. It was the wisp of Dao fire from the Footprint Emperor. It flew towards Shi Yi and shone within Shi Yi's body.
The strange light seemed to illuminate the past, present, and future, imprinting everything within Shi Yi's body.
Shi Yi did not stop it. He knew that this was the Dao Fire of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor imitating the myriad paths of the world, accumulating power to fight against the darkness again.
Back then, he fought against three opponents and was beaten up by them, and he died just like that. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept it. If it had been a one-on-one fight, the outcome would have been uncertain.
The Dao Fire of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor not only imitated Shi Yi's Dao, but also helped him illuminate the dark areas within his body that had not yet been opened.
At this moment, Shi Yi saw his own shortcomings. In this world, there is no such thing as the most perfect, only more perfect. He had simply taken a few more steps than other systems and had a higher goal.
The Tao has no limits; this saying will never be outdated.
Shi Yi smiled. If he had closed himself off and kept the experience of the Immortal of the Mortal World to himself, he probably wouldn't have gained such insights. Such is the wonder of the world.
After their discussion, both men gained much from it and went their separate ways to continue pursuing their own paths.
Shi Yi saw areas where he could improve, while Shi Hao realized that becoming an immortal was impossible in this era. No matter how strong human beings were, they could not break through the blockade formed by the fall of the Immortal King. He also decided not to take the elixir of immortality anymore and had originally planned to find one.
Now, Shi Hao intends to rely entirely on himself to navigate the mortal world.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed. But for the Twin Stones, ten thousand years is really not a long time. In their long lives, ten thousand years is just an insignificant ripple.
However, for other living beings, ten thousand years is an unattainable dream.
Amidst the rise and fall of dynasties, another golden age has arrived, with geniuses emerging and all races vying for supremacy.
Two beings, not belonging to this era, silently watched all this, neither interfering nor showing off, like two ascetic monks, accepting the baptism of time.
Shi Yi is 40,000 years old. At this moment, his hair is completely white and his face has some wrinkles. This feeling of aging is really strange and something he has never experienced before.
I have witnessed flowers bloom and wither, and the fleeting years and changes in the world more than once, but when I truly feel it, it is completely different from what I have seen.
Shi Yi enjoyed this feeling. He felt like an observer, standing at the highest point, looking down on a towering tree as it went from flourishing to withering and finally dying.
How long will he live in this lifetime?
Shi Yi didn't know, but he had a good attitude and kept developing his own system, letting the roots extend outwards.
In the forbidden sea of suffering, on the first beacon, Shi Yi's spirit and energy returned. He re-forged his first ascension.
At first, he was so eager to move forward that after landing on the first beacon, he immediately wanted to cross it and head straight for the second beacon.
In reality, the first beacon was not a narrow, straight path; it was a vast continent, lying like a behemoth across the forbidden sea of suffering, enduring the erosion of time, fate, and cause and effect.
Now, Shi Yi is turning back to explore the first landmark. He wants to personally measure every piece of land and experience everything about this realm, instead of rushing through it like he did at the beginning and pursuing speed.
As time passed, Shi Yi grew stronger little by little. He realized the benefits of the tempering of time, and his cultivation level continued to improve.
When he was 45,000 years old, Shi Hao found him.
At this time, Shi Hao's blood and energy had not yet reached the peak of his second life. He had a full head of black hair like a waterfall, and was incredibly strong, giving people a feeling of vigor and vitality.
Shi Yi, on the other hand, had white hair and was very old, like an old man in his sixties. His eyes still shone, but they were no longer as deep or majestic as they used to be.
"Shi Yi, you've actually grown old one day."
Seeing Shi Yi like this, Shi Hao couldn't bring himself to say anything sarcastic, and just felt a strange feeling in his chest.
His strong-willed cousin, who had always suppressed him, his arch-enemy, had also grown old.
Although Shi Hao knew this was inevitable, he was still filled with endless emotions when he actually saw the aged Shi Yi.
“In this degenerate age, apart from immortals in the mortal world, which human being can escape aging?” Shi Yi murmured.
"It just feels a bit unreal," Shi Hao sighed.
Then, he said something that left Shi Yi speechless, both amused and exasperated.
"Now seems to be the best time to challenge you. You are old and gray, with no teeth left, while I am in my prime with flowing black hair. In this state, I have the advantage, and defeating you should not be a problem."
After saying that, Shi Hao added, "It's just a bit unfair to win, like I'm bullying you because you're old and weak."
Shi Yi smiled and replied, "I'm fine with anything. If you want to fight, then let's fight."
"You said it yourself." Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He had been a little hesitant, but since Shi Yi had said so, he was determined to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to beat his cousin to a pulp.
"Yes, I was the one who said it. I forgot to tell you, my ascension technique is quite special. Even if I'm completely exhausted, I can recover to my peak condition and then fight again." Shi Yi nodded.
After saying that, his body radiated a blazing light of immortal transformation, and endless feathers fell from Shi Yi's body, removing the traces of time. His condition was improving; his white hair turned black, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his eyes shone as brightly as two golden lamps.
With each ascension, Shi Yi seemed to be aging in reverse, forcefully returning to his youthful state. Both his vital energy and primordial spirit were at their peak, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever.
At this moment, he seemed to have reversed the passage of time and everything else, forcibly standing at the peak, and it didn't seem like he had paid a great price.
Shi Hao's face darkened.
"You're such a pervert."
If he were as mature as he is now, he could return to his peak and go back to his youth, but he would have to pay a huge price. Unlike Shi Yi, who can just go back whenever he wants.
The two did not fight, but instead exchanged some playful banter.
"In my opinion, you only have five thousand years left in this life. So, have you found a place for Nirvana? Have you hidden it well? My recording stone can't wait any longer," Shi Hao asked softly.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely not find it," Shi Yi replied with a smile.
"Alright, I'd like to see where you can hide." Shi Hao was eager to try, hoping that the five thousand years would pass quickly.
If those creatures struggling through the ages knew his thoughts, they would be dumbfounded. The terrifying cruelty of the end times, the unstoppable passage of time, seemed so insignificant to them.
After this separation, Shi Yi began to make plans. He didn't want his younger brother to actually find him and use the recording stone to document his weakness. If Shi Hao succeeded, where would he, as the older brother, put his face?
If he were the younger brother, that would be fine; it's not a big deal if the older brother is not as good as the younger brother. But now that he is the older brother, he naturally cannot show his weak side.
Shi Yi estimated that he was probably over 50,000 years old in his first life, and he needed to make arrangements before his time was up.
Although he is far more adept at concealing his aura than most people can imagine, Shi Hao is no ordinary being. Who knows if he has figured out a way to find him? In any case, we must be on guard.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seven thousand years have passed. Shi Yi is now fifty-two thousand years old, and he is on the verge of death, almost at the end of his life.
However, if a battle is necessary, he can still return to his peak state through the Ascension Technique. This is the heaven-defying aspect of this technique, which ignores the passage of time and the laws of cause and effect.
Of course, the rules of the world are fixed, and Shi Yi's lifespan was eventually coming to an end, so he had to seek a way to start his next life.
Recalling his experiences over the past 52,000 years, he was filled with emotion. How many human beings in the world could survive for so long in the cruel end times like him? Along the way, he had experienced too much, all of which had turned into accumulation, making the worldly aura around him even stronger.
On the first beacon in the Forbidden Sea of Bitterness, Shi Yi's spirit stood tall. He had traveled to every corner, seen all the scenery of this realm, and experienced many wonders he had never known before. His cultivation was now on a completely different level.
Chapter 409 Five Lifetimes in the Mortal World
His cultivation had grown stronger, but he couldn't withstand the relentless passage of time.
His life had finally come to an end. He had lived for 52,000 years in his first life, which was already quite extraordinary. Shi Yi had no other choice but to start his second life.
In his first life, Shi Yi meticulously studied the first Dao Beacon, gaining immense benefits and determining how to proceed on the path to Nirvana.
This section describes the transformation of life, from the cicada shedding its shell to the butterfly emerging from its cocoon; the evolution and evolution of many organisms can provide great inspiration.
Shi Yi began to gather his life force, concentrating all the life force within him in one place. Instantly, that place became a chaotic void, the place where all things originated and were born. Even though he was on the verge of death, the life force within him was beyond the imagination of others.
At the same time, his physical body was withering and decaying, becoming a shell, a cocoon.
Various chants emanated from the shell and cocoon, stirring the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and an undying, eternal energy permeated the air.
half year later.
As old lives gradually faded away and new lives began to be born, Shi Yi seemed to have undergone a rebirth, his whole being transformed and he became full of vitality again.
Layer upon layer of feathers fell away, leaving traces of metamorphosis everywhere.
"Crack!"
The old shell cracked open, and a pair of large, crystal-clear hands emerged. Then, Shi Yi appeared, so perfect that he was flawless, like the most flawless work of art sculpted by the heavens.
He thus began his second life, his surging blood and fiery spirit almost illuminating the entire universe.
At the same moment, on the other side of the universe, Shi Hao stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction where Shi Yi's main body was.
Over the past six months, he uncovered more than a dozen traps set by Shi Yi, only to find them all empty-handed. The real Shi Yi had secretly completed his rebirth elsewhere.
Sensing the incomparably powerful blood and spirit light, Shi Hao sighed slightly, knowing that Shi Yi had made a qualitative breakthrough. Fortunately, his own path could also continue to grow stronger; otherwise, he would definitely not be able to keep up with Shi Yi's pace.
Although both are within the realm of humanity, the pinnacle of the ultimate path and becoming an immortal in the mortal world are truly two different concepts. Human beings who stand at the level of becoming an immortal in the mortal world can completely sweep away everything at the pinnacle of the ultimate path.
"In this life, I am already 22,000 years old, and my life force has reached its peak, but it will also begin to decline," Shi Hao muttered to himself.
His second life was about to begin its decline, while Shi Yi's second life was just beginning.
Shi Hao was not discouraged, because he knew what the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World was like. Perhaps he and Shi Yi would experience different things, but the final result would be the same: to be fearless of the passage of time and to be impervious to the degenerate age.
Suddenly, the void trembled, and Shi Yi arrived. He stood not far from Shi Hao, smiling as he looked at his younger brother who had been busy for nothing.
"Little brother, what are you doing here? Digging for wild vegetables?" Shi Yi asked with a smile.
"Hmph, one day I'll catch you." Shi Hao snorted coldly, and without further ado, he walked away.
His second life was about to begin its decline, and it was time to prepare for the start of his third life. Of course, Shi Hao already had a plan for how to live out his third life and had made ample preparations. What he needed to prepare now was how to prevent Shi Yi from spying on him.
Shi Yi watched Shi Hao leave. He naturally knew what his younger brother was going to do, but it was basically impossible to stop him.
In the years that followed, Shi Yi set his sights on the second beacon. Like the first one, he also skimmed through it without really appreciating the scenery along the way. In fact, the opportunity to become stronger was right beside him, but he simply overlooked it.
He admired the scenery above the second beacon, and experienced the changes brought about by the increase in his Qi and blood. Every day he could sense that his cultivation was increasing and becoming stronger. Although it was small and insignificant, it would become terrifying over time.
It's hard to imagine what kind of situation they would reach if they kept getting stronger life after life.
This life is a transformation of Yin and Yang, where extreme Yin gives rise to Yang and extreme Yang transforms into Yin. This principle is not unfamiliar to Shi Yi. He is a person with double pupils, and his eyes are the embodiment of the Yin and Yang. He has long been familiar with this great Dao.
Now, he has begun to conduct more in-depth research and to pursue the ultimate enlightenment. Occasionally, he will take out a tea of enlightenment and savor it slowly with the morning dew between heaven and earth.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years have passed.
Shi Yi is 72,000 years old. Only 20,000 years have passed since his second life. He is still very young, and his vitality is still growing.
