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

"That's good."

After saying that, he got up and led Shi Yi out of the main hall. His eyes were incredibly deep, looking out over the Pure Land as if he could see turbulent undercurrents.

“The Pure Land is no longer peaceful. There are enemies of the Pure Land itself, as well as those who have come for you,” he sighed.

He then continued, "It's impossible to leave without anyone noticing through normal means."

However, our sect was prepared and left an ancient teleportation array on the Pavilion Master Peak.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sect leader waved his sleeve, and birds and beasts scattered in the nearby forest, revealing an ancient teleportation array.

He brought Shi Yi to this place, had him stand on the teleportation array, and gave him an ancient jade, saying that he could crush it in a critical moment to save his life.

Shi Yi took the ancient jade with its intricate carvings and sensed an astonishing energy within it. He quickly put it away and thanked the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"Go, this map can guide you to the battlefield of the Hundred Races."

Shi Yi then took the map from the Pavilion Master.

"Your current outfit is too eye-catching; you should change it."

As he spoke, the pavilion master tossed over another item, an antique-style headdress that could be worn by both men and women.

"Wearing this item and channeling spiritual energy will generate a chaotic mist that will envelop your body, especially your face. I have also left a series of arrays inside. Unless a Venerable makes a move, no one else's gaze can penetrate this mist and see your true face."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Shi Yi bowed to the Pavilion Master, as this headdress had been of great help to him.

After giving a few more instructions to ensure everything went smoothly, the sect leader activated the teleportation array.

"Buzz!"

A flash of light tore the void apart, and Shi Yi's figure vanished into the teleportation array.

At the same moment, outside the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, a powerful being hidden in the void slowly opened its eyes and looked towards the thriving ancient pure land.

"what happened?"

Beside them, another being responsible for monitoring the Pure Land asked a question.

There appears to be a slight spatial fluctuation.

Upon hearing this, the being's expression turned solemn. If there were indeed spatial fluctuations, it would mean that some living beings had fled from the ancient Pure Land.

The teleportation arrays visible within the Pure Land were all monitored by their informants and did not send out any signals.

The two powerful figures frowned slightly, released their divine senses to search in the void, but unfortunately, they found nothing and had to give up in the end.

At this moment, Shi Yi had already left the ancient Pure Land and arrived millions of miles away.

The teleportation array on the Pavilion Master Peak was unlike any other teleportation array, instantly transporting Shi Yi to such a distant place.

He stood in a vast, unfamiliar wilderness, gazing in all directions, comparing his map with the map in his hand.

After determining the direction, Shi Yi changed into a Taoist robe, then put on the headdress treasure given to him by the sect leader. He activated it with his divine power, and instantly, a chaotic mist overflowed from the headdress, flowing down until it enveloped Shi Yi's entire body. After doing all this, he set off.

This time, his journey across the Great Wilderness was different from the one after he came out of the Qilin Secret Realm. He was now a powerful expert of the Ninth Heaven, and below the Spirit Transformation level, he could hardly find any opponents.

Furthermore, with his double pupils, Shi Yi was completely safe from danger.

With a map in hand, he traveled for over a million miles, spending more than a month, and finally arrived at his destination.

"Battlefield of a Hundred Races!"

Shi Yi stood before an ancient stone tablet and read the inscription on it.

The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion explained a lot about this battlefield to him. It is a vast space independent of the Eight Domains, with many entrances. The place Shi Yi arrived at is one of the scattered entrances.

Without hesitation, he stepped straight into a teleportation array behind the stone tablet.

With a flash of light, he disappeared from his spot. When his vision returned to normal, he found himself in a vast ancient land.

The atmosphere here is distinctly different from that of the desolate region; the vital energy is much richer, making it suitable for cultivation. No wonder so many talented beings from the desolate region choose to come here for training, including princes of ancient kingdoms and descendants of venerable figures—it can be described as a gathering place for powerful individuals.

Some beings share Shi Yi's goal: to hone themselves here. Others yearn to fight their way to the final stage and use the Hundred Races Battlefield as a stepping stone to ascend to the Upper Realm.

The rules of the Hundred Races Battlefield are simple: to compete in the arena to determine who has the right to step onto the ancient pass.

There are ten ancient passes in total. If you pass them all, you will be granted a spot to go to the upper realm. You can then travel to the upper realm through an interdimensional teleportation array.

Shi Yi has the ability to fight his way to the interdimensional teleportation array, but he won't jump into the fire pit himself. Who knows what terrifying things might happen after he goes to the upper realm?

Chapter 80 The Ancient Mighty Cave

Shi Yi strode forward, heading deeper into the battlefield of the Hundred Races.

This independent space, separated from the desolate region, holds many opportunities.

For example, the dense black forest blocking Shi Yi's way is vast and boundless. It has existed in the battlefield of the Hundred Tribes since ancient times and is extremely ancient.

The forest is home to many ancient medicinal herbs, as well as relics left by ancient cultivators, any of which would be a great opportunity for a cultivator.

Of course, with opportunity comes danger. The Dark Forest is home to countless native ancient beasts. Due to the special laws governing this world, they are unable to develop higher intelligence and retain their most primitive ferocity.

What troubled cultivators the most was not the native ancient beasts, but the thick gray fog that covered the entire area. The fog contained the power of rules that hindered the spread of cultivators' divine sense. Even powerful array kings would have their vision severely obstructed when traveling through the dark forest, and could not see very far.

Fortunately, Shi Yi possessed a pair of double pupils that could see through illusions and directly perceive the origin of things. For him, the dense fog did not have much of an impact. With his eyesight, he could see farther than even kings and nobles.

This allows him to sense danger in advance and respond promptly.

However, Shi Yi did not dare to be careless and pushed his double pupils to the limit throughout the entire process.

His eyes were filled with symbols of the Great Dao, interwoven and arranged, constantly deducing and analyzing the origin of all things.

The thick fog was fraught with danger, and Shi Yi could be ambushed by ferocious beasts lurking in the shadows at any moment. He scanned his surroundings as he walked.

Thanks to his double pupils, he avoided many deadly dangers in advance.

For example, a large snake with the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm had already grown scales on its body, and two protrusions on its head, like dragon horns. It was wrapped around a towering ancient tree, motionless, with no emotion in its eyes, and extremely cold-blooded.

For example, there is an ancient lion with a huge body, as big as a small mountain, with a thick mane, a huge mouth, and eyes like two lanterns, which is terrifying.

……

There are many other predators like these in the dark forest.

Ordinary creatures are often blinded by the dense fog and cannot anticipate dangers. They are frequently attacked and killed by native ferocious beasts, resulting in a very high mortality rate.

But for Shi Yi, the dangers here are all transparent and can be seen in advance.

He strode along, and occasionally, when he saw an ancient herb with extraordinary spiritual power growing nearby, he would stop and collect it.

Some ancient herbs are guarded by powerful ancient beasts. If Shi Yi wants to pick the herbs, he must first deal with the guardians. Ancient beasts below the Spirit Transformation Realm are not so bad; he can quickly suppress and kill them and take the ancient herbs.

If it were a powerful ancient beast at the Spirit Transformation Realm, Shi Yi would have to be careful. Fortunately, these ancient beasts were not very intelligent, so Shi Yi could manipulate them at will. In critical moments, he could also rely on his own speed to snatch chestnuts from the fire.

Before long, Shi Yi reaped a great harvest, becoming very wealthy, and acquired a large number of ancient medicines that were quite old.

However, these cultivation resources are far from enough. At this moment, he is standing at the Ninth Heaven Realm. The next step is to open the Tenth Heaven Realm, which requires a huge amount of resources. What he has obtained so far is far from enough, just a drop in the ocean.

To be precise, it lacks a trump card. Although the ancient medicines are quite old, they cannot be considered truly sacred medicines.

In the battlefield of a hundred races, any medicine that can be called a sacred elixir will be scrambled for as soon as it appears, and in most cases it will be obtained by the kings and nobles in the ranks.

It will not be easy for Shi Yi to obtain enough cultivation resources here.

Just as his thoughts were drifting, he keenly caught a whisper in his ear.

Shi Yi's gaze shifted, looking towards the source of the sound.

In the distance, amidst the thick fog, two young cultivators cautiously made their way forward, glancing occasionally at an ancient plate in their hands and whispering to each other, seemingly searching for something.

Because of the dense fog, their spiritual senses could not spread very far, so Shi Yi was the first to discover them.

"Are we almost there? This is no safe place; we shouldn't linger."

"It should be soon. The ancient compass is already reacting. If everything goes smoothly today, we can definitely defy fate."

Shi Yi caught everything the two said. His expression shifted, and he gleaned some key information from their conversation.

They were searching for treasure, and not just any ordinary treasure. Something that could allow two cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm to defy fate must be extraordinary.

Shi Yi immediately became interested.

He maintained a safe distance from the two youths, hanging far behind them.

From their subsequent conversation, Shi Yi learned that their destination was actually the cave dwelling of an ancient powerful being.

One of the cultivators obtained the ancient plate by chance, deciphered its secrets, and thus began this treasure hunt.

Shi Yi's timing was quite opportune.

Now that he knew that the ancient plate pointed to the cave of an ancient powerful being, Shi Yi naturally wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity.

The path of cultivation is inseparable from the word "competition." If he doesn't know this secret, then so be it; but if he does know it, then he must compete for it.

Of course, facing two experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm, Shi Yi had to be careful and not easily reveal his presence.

After following the two through a dense forest, the two young men finally found the cave of the ancient powerful being through the feedback from the ancient artifact.

Ahead lay a rocky mountain, gray and unremarkable, showing nothing special. However, when the ancient plate in the young man's hand approached the rocky mountain, it reacted violently, bursting forth with a blazing light.

"Yes, this is the place." The young man holding the ancient plate was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but smile.

The young man at the Spirit Transformation Realm beside him was also overjoyed.

The cave dwellings of ancient powerful beings are undoubtedly treasure troves beyond imagination, capable of allowing them to defy fate and become kings or nobles, and perhaps even venerable ones.

Thinking of this, the two of them were so excited they couldn't stop smiling.

Just as Shi Yi thought they were about to attempt to open the cave, suddenly, the young man holding the ancient plate shouted coldly.

"You've followed us for so long, are you going to continue hiding? Come out and let's talk."

Shi Yi remained unmoved. Such deceptive tricks could not fool him at all. Under the gaze of the double pupils, the young man's eyes and facial expressions were completely transparent.

The young man standing nearby was startled, thinking that someone was really following them in secret, but he quickly realized that his companion was deliberately lying.

He called out a few more times, and seeing no response and only a calm silence around him, the young man holding the ancient plate finally felt relieved.

"It seems that you're overthinking things, senior brother," the young man beside him said with a smile.

The young man holding the stock nodded.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at his junior brother's back with a sense of formidable danger, coldly shouting, "Fellow Daoist, you have finally revealed yourself."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the younger man was startled and quickly turned around to look.

I thought there would be a creature standing behind me, but there was nothing there, just an empty space and a thick gray fog.

Just as he was filled with doubt and about to turn around and ask his senior brother what was going on, suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his head, as if something cold had entered his skull, followed by a sharp pain.

He then realized that he had been betrayed by his most trusted senior brother. A cold short sword pierced his head from behind, passing straight through his primordial spirit, instantly rendering him unable to resist.

The blood did not flow from the wound; it was all swallowed by the short sword, and even the primordial spirit was swallowed by it.

"Senior brother...you..."

The young man's face was filled with disbelief. He never imagined that his trusted senior brother would attack him from behind and take his life.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Do you really think I'd be so kind as to share the cave of an ancient powerful being with you? No one ever complains about having too many treasures, only that they don't have enough," the young man holding the ancient plate said with a sneer.

"Why……"

The young man, pierced by the short sword, used his last bit of strength to utter these three words; he only wanted to know the reason.

"Why? Naturally, it's because your life can help me open this treasure vault. Otherwise, why would I invite you to such a good thing?"

"Being able to open the cave of an ancient powerful being, you can be considered to have died a worthy death." The young man holding the ancient plate responded coldly.

Then, the short sword devoured the life of its "junior brother," turning completely crimson. Strange patterns appeared on the sword's surface, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

In the distance, Shi Yi, who had witnessed the scene of a senior brother killing a junior brother, stared solemnly at the short sword. If he was not mistaken, it should be a kind of demonic weapon that required the sacrifice of a life to unleash its maximum power.

That's why the being holding the ancient plate called upon his junior brother to come and explore for the treasure.

Now, he has successfully activated the magic weapon to its strongest state. Seeing this, the young man holding the ancient plate did not hesitate and grabbed the short sword to slash towards the gray hill.

With a "sizzle," the short sword met its end amidst the raging flames of blood. At the same time, a barely perceptible crack appeared on the gray hillside, gradually widening until it became a large rift in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yi's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at that spot. He was certain that when the demonic artifact erupted, its power was comparable to the full-force attack of a peak Inscription Realm cultivator. Before sacrificing his "junior brother," this being must have made other preparations.

Such an attack alone would not have been able to shake the small mountain. However, the young man, wielding the ancient disk, had discerned the weakness of the gray mountain. Furthermore, with the passage of time, the sealing power had long since dissipated and was no longer what it once was.

"Ha ha ha ha……"
