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

This time, Shi Yi narrowed the cause and effect to him and Shi Hao, which was a chance for the Rain Clan to escape. If they outwardly complied but inwardly defied him, the consequences would be hard to predict.

The Rain King wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the hidden meaning. He assured Shi Yi that from now on, the Rain Clan would no longer be involved in this matter. If anyone disobeyed, Shi Yi wouldn't need to intervene; the Rain Clan would deal with the matter itself.

After achieving his goal, Shi Yi left some resources in the Rain Clan, as this clan ultimately had a significant connection with him.

Before leaving, Shi Yi saw a familiar face, none other than Yu Zimo, who possessed psychic abilities.

Back then, when Shi Yi was using the alias Xuan Yi, he met Yu Zi Mo. At that time, Yu Zi Mo used her talent to sense that Xuan Yi was different from others. Now, when she met Shi Yi again, she witnessed an astonishing scene.

Yu Ziming was astonished. Behind Shi Yi was a chaotic void, seemingly not belonging to this ancient history.

At the same time, her gaze met Shi Yi's eyes. In that instant, Yu Ziming felt as if those seemingly ordinary eyes had seen through everything about her, as if they could see through her past and present lives.

Shi Yi nodded slightly to her, said nothing, and left the Rain Prince's Mansion, leaving Yu Ziming standing there blankly.

"What do you see?"

An elder of the Rain Clan walked over.

"He can't see anything. Zi Mo's abilities are completely ineffective in front of Yi Di. He only sees chaos and nothingness. On the contrary, Yi Di's eyes see right through him..."

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Rain Clan couldn't help but show a look of surprise. After a long while, he exclaimed, "Truly a chosen one of heaven, a young venerable one."

After leaving the Rain King's Mansion, Shi Yi did not return to the Martial King's Mansion, but went straight to the Stone Emperor's Palace.

Along the way, all the creatures of the Stone Kingdom looked at him with awe.

The once invincible Xuan Yi, now the double-pupiled Shi Yi, combined with the title of young venerable one, create an unimaginable level of intimidation.

Everyone knows that Shi Yi has risen to power, and no one can stop him now.

Since ancient times, those with double pupils have been invincible among their peers. The double-pupiled individuals of this era are among the best, possessing numerous halos and unparalleled brilliance.

Soon, Shi Yi arrived. Ahead lay the royal forbidden area of ​​the Shi Kingdom. The walls were tall and pale gold, exuding both a peaceful aura and the imposing grandeur unique to royal architecture.

The soldiers on the city gate tower saw Shi Yi from afar. The Emperor had ordered that if Shi Yi arrived, he should not be stopped.

So they opened the gate and welcomed Shi Yi.

Shi Yi didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the royal forbidden area. Normally, ordinary people would never set foot in this place, not even the sons of kings and nobles.

The entire palace was vast, with pavilions and towers scattered throughout, exuding a solemn atmosphere. The imperial aura permeated everywhere, and the stronger the being, the more pronounced the feeling.

The nation's fortunes converge here; it can be said that this palace is the heart of the Stone Kingdom, its most important place, and has been passed down from ancient times, bearing countless miracles.

Shi Yi stepped inside. He had only just passed through the first gate; there were many more to come.

He traveled without hindrance, and all the gates of the passes were open to him. Soon, Shi Yi arrived at the Central Heavenly Palace.

From the perspective of the double pupils, a real dragon was churning above the Heavenly Palace. It was formed from the dragon energy of the Imperial Palace, lifelike, and emitted bursts of dragon roars, exuding unparalleled majesty.

In such a place, those who wield dragon energy have an unimaginable advantage, which is why even a powerful ancient divine mountain dares not act recklessly here.

Shi Yi stood there, gazing at the Central Heavenly Palace, which resembled a colossal behemoth lying across his path, suppressing the fortunes of all directions with unparalleled power.

"You came."

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the central heavenly palace; it was the Emperor of the Stone Kingdom.

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly, piercing through layers of dragon energy, and he saw the Stone Emperor sitting on the throne. He was surrounded by dragon energy, which was extremely intense, like a sun god.

"boom!"

The central heavenly palace trembled, and dragon energy surged, paving a golden avenue covered with dragon patterns on the stone steps, extending all the way to Shi Yi's feet. Clearly, this was the work of the Stone Emperor, specially made to welcome him, with great fanfare and full of sincerity.

Without hesitation, Shi Yi stepped onto the golden avenue adorned with dragon patterns and ascended to the main hall where the throne was located. During this process, he witnessed various scenes within the central heavenly palace, including all sorts of auspicious birds and beasts, and magnificent, dazzling dragon ornaments. Everything highlighted the supreme and noble status of the imperial palace.

All those who enter the palace can enjoy this terrifying power of fortune. Not only will their cultivation speed be incredibly fast, but they can also utilize the imperial dragon energy and the secret power of the nation's joint sacrifice to obtain the position of human emperor.

Shi Yi arrived at the end of the golden road. The Stone Emperor had already left his throne and was standing there waiting for his arrival.

"Shi Yi, are you aware of the calamity of the desolate region?"

Shi Huang had no intention of small talk and went straight to the point.

“I know. The great calamity is coming soon. At that time, gods will be as worthless as grass, and even venerable ones will find it difficult to protect themselves, being harvested like medicinal herbs,” Shi Yi replied.

The Stone Emperor nodded.

"Sitting in my position, I have to consider not only how to avoid a great calamity, but also the foundation passed down by my ancestors. If something happens to me, the Shi Kingdom needs someone who can stand up, sweep away all obstacles, and ascend to the rightful throne, so that the ancestral foundation will not fall into the wrong hands and be plucked by others."

Chapter 139 Killing Game

"Could the person the Stone Emperor spoke of be me?"

Shi Yi asked calmly.

The Stone Emperor nodded. He strode out of the main hall, his every move exuding the demeanor and majesty of an emperor.

With his back to Shi Yi, he looked up at the sky and said in a rather solemn tone, "As the emperor, I possess the fortune of a nation and have long been spiritually enlightened."

I have a premonition that a great calamity is coming, and I may encounter misfortune.

Therefore, preparations had to be made in advance. Originally, I intended to entrust it to the Great Demon God, but ultimately, you became the victor in the Battle of the Martial King's Palace.

The Stone Emperor spoke frankly, saying that for him, entrusting the Stone Kingdom to someone depended on both their background and their strength.

As long as one's surname is Shi, is powerful enough, and doesn't become a lackey of powerful forces, preserving the Shi clan's foundation, that's enough.

“I see. However, after the great calamity descends, all Venerables will be targeted. How can the Stone Emperor be sure that I can escape the calamity?” Shi Yi said.

"Because you are Xuan Yi, Xuan Yi with double pupils." The Stone Emperor said simply and clearly.

He then continued, "The Stone Kingdom may seem peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging. The tentacles of external forces have infiltrated. If something were to happen to me, the Stone Kingdom would be in turmoil. Too many people are eyeing this position, and none of my princes and princesses are capable of achieving anything..."

At this point, the Stone Emperor sighed helplessly.

Shi Yi's eyes gleamed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Right now, I can’t give Your Majesty any guarantees.” He neither agreed nor refused, giving an ambiguous answer.

Without saying much, the Stone Emperor simply waved his hand and tossed out a pile of divine materials and ancient medicinal herbs...

"This is only a very limited part of the imperial treasury. If something happens to me and you succeed to the throne, everything will be yours."

Shi Yi looked at these items and found them to be extremely rare, almost impossible to find anywhere in the world.

However, over the years, he has traveled all over the country and reaped a great harvest. He has countless valuable resources, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he alone can overpower an entire country. It is impossible for him to change the answer because of these few things.

Shi Yi shook his head.

“I am not interested in inheriting the throne. It may seem that I can gather the fortune of the country, speed up my cultivation, and obtain the protection of the imperial dragon energy and the treasure trove you mentioned... But in reality, the karmic consequences are too great, and it is not suitable for me.”

Since opening the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, he has been very sensitive to matters of cause and effect. Things like succeeding to the throne and obtaining the position of human emperor are things that Shi Yi would never do. His path does not rely on the power of faith.

All he wanted was to become stronger, to climb to the top step by step, and to protect those he loved. That was all.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shi showed a look of disappointment. If Shi Yi could escape the calamity, it would be most appropriate for him to inherit the throne. At that time, the Shi Kingdom would be even more powerful than it is now.

Unfortunately, everyone has different aspirations.

"but……"

Shi Yi spoke again.

"I can guarantee the stability of the Stone Kingdom and a smooth transition to the next emperor. The selection of the next emperor can be decided by the Stone Emperor."

The Stone Emperor's eyes lit up; in this way, the foundation of the Stone Kingdom could be considered preserved.

He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "You can decide on the candidate."

Shi Yi was somewhat surprised. If the Emperor Shi had any selfish motives, he could have simply chosen any prince he liked at this point. Unexpectedly, the Emperor Shi entrusted this matter entirely to him.

Shi Yi did not refuse, because the Martial King's Mansion still needed to live in the lower realm of Shi Kingdom, and he naturally hoped that Shi Kingdom could be stable and secure, and that the new emperor should be a suitable candidate.

If Shi Qingfeng were to become the next Emperor Shi, as in the original story, Shi Yi would definitely not feel at ease. Therefore, having him arrange the selection of the Emperor Shi is exactly what Shi Yi wanted.

“My princes and princesses value the throne too much. I know all about what they have done over the years.”

"I have only one requirement for the new emperor: that he be devoted to the foundation of the Stone Kingdom," the Stone Emperor explained.

Shi Yi nodded.

"Your Majesty can rest assured about this. The new emperor will not be a member of the Martial King's Mansion, but he will definitely be someone who cares about the Stone Kingdom."

Hearing him say that, the Stone Emperor was relieved.

“These things may not be so valuable to you. I will open the imperial treasury and let you choose three treasures,” the Stone Emperor said.

Of course, Shi Yi wouldn't refuse such a good thing. He followed Shi Huang directly, passing through a series of restrictions, and arrived in front of a secret treasure vault.

"This treasure vault is not the royal palace vault as it appears; it contains genuine treasures, accumulated by the Stone Kingdom over many years."

With that, the Stone Emperor made his move and opened the treasure vault.

Instantly, golden auspicious light burst forth, countless rays of precious light shone, and colorful mist filled the air. Inside, it was simply a divine treasure land, with all sorts of amazing auras swirling around, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Shi Yi stepped inside, his double pupils glowing, and scanned the room at an astonishing speed.

The Stone Emperor's words were true; the things here were genuine treasures, with all sorts of divine ingredients and great medicines piled up there for him to choose from.

From the perspective of the double pupils, he selected three rare and precious materials, one of which was useful for the Reincarnation Disc and was what it needed to repair the disc.

After selecting the three treasures, Shi Yi took his leave and departed.

"The Myriad Law Stone is a rare find, and there's such a large piece here."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc whispered, without any politeness, and directly put away the Myriad Dharma Stone.

“No matter what, it was an ancient kingdom, especially in a place like the lower realm where treasures abound,” Shi Yi said.

Despite being called a cage, the Lower Realm is actually full of good things. Otherwise, those so-called "giants" in the Upper Realm wouldn't care so much about the Lower Realm.

Shi Yi left the imperial city, mounted the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, returned to the Martial King's Mansion, gave a few instructions, and then departed.

Shi Ziteng stood in front of the Wu King's mansion, watching his son leave, a look of worry in his eyes.

He knew that Shi Yi was going to Demon Spirit Lake, which was a member of the Ancient Divine Mountain.

The old golden spider and the Azure Black-eyed Spider of Demon Spirit Lake will not harm Shi Yi, but the other creatures of the sacred mountain may not be so.

Moreover, not only the Primordial Divine Mountain, but once the turmoil surrounding the Qilin Treasure Technique spreads, the entire Desolate Region will be unable to find peace, and even external forces will be mobilized to participate in this matter.

That is, after all, one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.

It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying vortex Shi Yi would find himself in.

This is simply unimaginable for a sixteen-year-old boy who has just been promoted to the Venerable Realm.

At this moment, in the Stone Kingdom's palace, the Stone Emperor stood, gazing at the horizon with a flickering gaze. Just now, Shi Yi had transmitted a message, warning that chaos was brewing in the desolate region because of him, and urging the Stone Emperor to be careful of the Stone Kingdom.

Once Shi Yi left the imperial city, Emperor Shi did not hesitate to activate the imperial city's grand formation, setting up a state of martial law and preparing for any potential enemies.

From afar, it seemed as if a real dragon was circling above the capital of the Stone Kingdom, occasionally letting out a loud dragon roar.

"The nation's fortune is gathered here; it's no small matter. Coupled with that divine array, even if a Venerable One were to attack, we would remain unharmed," the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc murmured.

Shi Yi nodded slightly, relieved. He had also left a backup plan at the Martial King's Mansion, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Let the storm rage on," he muttered to himself, his killing intent palpable.

This time, it's unknown how many venerable ones will fall under his blade.

Soon after, Shi Yi arrived. In the distance lay Demon Spirit Lake. The closer one got to this place, the sparser the population became. All the ancient divine mountains were considered forbidden areas for the human race. Anyone who dared to approach them would die without a burial place.

Just as Shi Yi was about to continue forward and enter the Demon Spirit Lake, a voice transmission sounded in his ear, which turned out to be from the old golden spider.

"Yi'er, hurry up! Demon Spirit Lake is a trap set for you. Leave this place immediately."

The voice was hurried, it was left in a panic before the old golden spider was controlled, and Shi Yi easily deduced the time when the voice transmission was left.

From this, it can be seen that during the period after he descended upon the Martial King's Mansion and suppressed the Great Demon God, the outside world was very turbulent, with many powerful figures making moves. They all guessed that he would come to Demon Spirit Lake, so they gathered here to set up a trap for him.

"Heh, that's pretty fast, but I wonder if everyone's here yet," Shi Yi sneered.

Regardless of whether everyone had arrived or not, he couldn't wait any longer. Demon Spirit Lake was crucial to his rise to power and had helped him a great deal. His first Ten Fierce Treasure Technique, the Qilin Technique, was obtained through a secret realm quota provided by Demon Spirit Lake.

Given such a great favor, Shi Yi naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch as the Demon Spirit Lake was controlled and held hostage by a group of Venerables.

With a calm expression and indifferent gaze, he rode on the back of the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, stepping into the territory of the Demon Spirit Lake, as if he were completely unaware of the dangers of this place.

Within the Demon Spirit Lake, Venerable Ones gathered, each concealed in the void, watching the direction from which Shi Yi was approaching.

If they were to release their concealment spells, the entire sky would be filled with powerful Venerable-level beings, densely packed and countless, a truly terrifying sight.

Of course, in front of Shi Yi's double pupils, these childish concealment techniques were practically useless.
