The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Suppressed within the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud, the Thunder Emperor Armor, which had remained calm, sensed the dark and eerie aura and began to tremble, with a large amount of rust falling off.

The next moment, a massive amount of divine energy overflowed from the holes in the Thunder Emperor's armor, empowering Shi Yi. Instantly, his magical power surged, reaching the peak of divine fire.

Shi Yi's spirits lifted, and he felt an inexhaustible supply of divine power within him. He immediately poured all his magical power into the Soul-Bell Shield and activated it with the power of time.

It instantly transformed into a small bell, and then rang.

"when!"

After a clear chime, a ripple of time could be seen spreading outwards, reaching all directions.

The ancient lamp in the sky seemed to sense danger, trembled slightly, and then quickly flew back the way it came.

However, the ripples of time move too fast, and they are quickly caught up with and affected.

"puff!"

With a crisp sound, the ancient lamp shattered and turned into dust.

At the same time, the ripples of time washed away the black mist, and the twelve towering demon god figures instantly turned to ashes and into endless fragments.

The calamity was thus averted, vanishing without a trace.

However, Shi Yi did not show any relief. The reason was simple: he sensed a strange aura in the direction that Gu Deng had fled.

He knew that was the source of the strangeness, a blood-stained, dark ancient ship.

Shi Yi stood still and waited for a long time. Finally, the aura disappeared, which meant that the blood-stained dark ancient ship had left and had not descended.

He let out a long breath; the ordeal was finally over, and it was time for him to step out into the world and move around.

This time, igniting the divine fire was a great success, but it wasn't a complete success. For Shi Yi, it was just the beginning.

Because the forbidden sea of ​​suffering contains not only the power of time, but also the power of space, the power of cause and effect, and the power of destiny...

They are interconnected yet distinct, forming a complex and intertwined whole.

The future Dao Flower, inscribed with symbols representing the passage of time, is not enough to navigate the forbidden sea of ​​suffering.

Shi Yi needs to imprint the other three symbols in his body onto the future Dao Flower.

However, he lacked the corresponding sacred object, which was like a bridge; without a bridge, he could only sigh in vain.

He has the Dao of the Future in the Dao of Time, but he has no clue about the other three Daos. Shi Yi must hurry.

"Among the three thousand Great Daos of the Immortal Era, there must be paths of space, destiny, and cause and effect. As long as we find the bubble worlds corresponding to these three Great Daos, the Great Dao can be expected," Shi Yi muttered to himself.

“One person’s strength is limited. I need enough people to help me search.” With that, he held the Bell Soul Shield and rose higher and higher until he reached the sky above the Time World, looking down at the Time River Ring below.

"Buzz!"

With a thought, the Soul-Binding Shield burst forth with dazzling light.

The next moment, the mighty river surged forth with a rushing, roaring sound.

Under Shi Yi's gaze, the River of Time rapidly contracted, transforming into a string of bracelets that flew toward his wrist.

This is a priceless treasure, a sacred object of the Way of Time, providing the best environment for Shi Yi to ignite his divine fire.

Now, it has been taken by Shi Yi and turned into a bracelet.

After doing all this, Shi Yi turned and left. Not long after he left the Ancient Realm of Time, this ancient realm, which had lost the ring of the River of Time, began to wither and crumble. Finally, a bubble burst, and it became history forever.

In the vast ancient world, a jet-black Kun fish stormed to the seabed and snatched a sea pearl right under the noses of numerous celestial-level sea beasts. This pearl, left behind by a supreme ancient beast, was extremely precious and could be used to refine pills.

In the ancient Huangsha border region, at its heart, Shi Yi appears.

The endless yellow sand and desolation are all due to this divine spring at the center of the ancient realm. The essence of the entire realm is absorbed and devoured, gathering in the divine spring.

Shi Yi concealed himself and stood outside the divine spring, not making any rash moves, because many terrifying sand beasts, including ferocious beasts at the level of celestial gods, roamed around the divine spring.

The next day, the sacred spring guarded by many sand beasts suddenly disappeared, and the entire spring was wiped out, leaving not a single hair behind.

The celestial sand beasts were caught off guard by this astonishing scene, and were filled with shock and rage. They couldn't help but roar to the sky, their fury never ceasing.

In the distance, Shi Yi looked at the divine spring in the chaotic small world that gathered the essence of an entire realm and nodded in satisfaction.

The struggle for the Great Dao is so cruel; there is no right or wrong, it's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak.

A few days later, Shi Yi finally returned to the Three Thousand Bluestone Ancient Road. He stood at the end of the Three Thousand Bluestone Road. At this moment, the immense pressure he felt when he first entered was gone, and cultivators could come and go as they pleased.

However, no one would return to this unremarkable place. Those who could enter the Immortal Ancient World were all geniuses of their time. They knew that there were three thousand Great Daos here, but they were all deterred by the difficulty of grasping them and hesitated to go. Relatively speaking, those bubble worlds that contained opportunities were the places they should go.

Only Shi Hao was on the vast three-thousand-stone road. At this moment, he was at a critical stage of enlightenment. His whole body was tattered and riddled with holes, and he looked like a piece of charcoal after being burned by the Dao Fire.

Shi Yi's gaze shifted as he looked at him, his eyes calm as still water, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Sensing something, Shi Hao opened his eyes at that moment. His eyes were filled with many symbols, some silver and some gold, as if he could see the trajectory of all things in the world. This was the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, and he had already gained a lot of divine power when he first opened it.

The two stones met again, gazing at each other from afar. One had achieved godhood in an unconventional way, successfully igniting the divine fire and cultivating a primordial immortal aura. The other's body was withered, and he was still groping his way on the path of being consumed by myriad paths.

If Shi Yi were to make a move at this moment, given Shi Hao's level of skill and current condition, defeat would be inevitable.

Outside, a scene of three thousand bluestone paths appears on the petals of an ancient fairy flower.

"Huang, it seems he has encountered a formidable enemy. This is the first time I have seen him with such a solemn expression since entering the Immortal Ancient Realm."

"It's unclear. The creature is hazy and indistinct, surrounded by chaos. Even the ancient flower petals cannot see through it."

"Could it be that person with double pupils?"

……

People were buzzing with discussion, and many "giants" were also drawn to look in this direction.

More than five months later, six or seven out of ten of the millions of Venerables who entered the Immortal Ancient have ignited their divine fire and become gods, including many top-tier first-generation beings. The Immortal Ancient bud is already in turmoil.

Only the two stones from the lower realm remained silent. One had concealed its form, unknown to outsiders, while the other had stubbornly pursued the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Ancient Stone Road, failing to become a god and burning himself half to death.

Of course, some "giants" have already pointed out that Shi Hao wants to take an extraordinary path, and once he succeeds, the strength of his Dao Fruit will be unimaginable. "Is it really Shi Yi, the one with double pupils? More than five months have passed, he should have become a god by now. I'm really curious about how he became a god."

"Perhaps it's related to double pupils."

"If that's the case, how high would his pupil power soar? It would probably cause the world to collapse in the blink of an eye."

"Heh, back in the lower realm, Shi Yi and Shi Hao were enemies and even fought once. Now that they've met again in the Immortal Ancient Realm, Shi Yi might take advantage of their misfortune and kill his mortal enemy directly." Someone sneered.

"Not necessarily. Back in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the two of them joined forces and mingled with that Demon Blood God Tree. They were brothers to begin with, so they might have already reconciled."

……

On the side of Mount Immortality, Shi Hao's parents watched this scene nervously. They knew that it was unrealistic for Shi Yi and Shi Hao to reconcile. There were too many karmic entanglements between them. In the Tianyuan Secret Realm, they had only stood together temporarily so that they could leave safely.

"Don't worry, he shouldn't take advantage of someone in distress," Shi Ziling reassured him.

Qin Yining nodded. Shi Yi's actions and behavior were traceable, and they had their own judgment.

Inside the Immortal Ancient World, Shi Yi withdrew his gaze, turned around and left without looking back, entering the bubble world, leaving only Shi Hao with his back view.

The latter sighed softly.

"As expected of you."

Shi Hao sighed to himself. Although they were only looking at each other from a distance, he could feel the divine fire aura emanating from Shi Yi. It was unprecedentedly powerful and gave him an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Clearly, this cousin has become a god, and it wasn't a simple path to godhood.

Shi Hao shook his head, cleared his mind of distractions, and returned to his secluded meditation. He had to hurry, otherwise, falling behind one step at a time would lead to falling behind every step at the same time.

Shi Yi left the end of the bluestone road and rushed towards a bubble. According to the ancient records of Tianyun Academy, that was a fixed place for trading.

Throughout history, millions of cultivators have entered the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud. After passing through the Ancient Stone Road, they would each seek a place to become gods and then attempt to ignite the divine fire. Once the divine fire was ignited, they would emerge from seclusion, either seeking opportunities or hunting down enemy cultivators.

The opportunities found by cultivators are diverse, including all sorts of things. Many of these things are not what they need, while others may find exactly what they need. In response to this, some ancient cities for trading have emerged.

Cultivators explore secret realms and return laden with spoils. They bring the opportunities they no longer need to this world, setting up stalls or doing other things, doing everything they can to exchange for what they need. This is the meaning of the existence of the ancient trading city.

There are many such worlds, more than one, and Shi Yi chose one of them.

His purpose was different from those cultivators who wanted to set up stalls and trade; he came to this realm to find laborers.

Space, destiny, and cause and effect are all paths among the three thousand great paths, hidden in the endless bubble world. If Shi Yi were to search for them on his own two legs, it would take forever, and he would most likely never find them all.

However, if a large group of creatures were to help him search, the process could be greatly accelerated.

Shenmian City, standing in the Shenmian Realm, has a long history and is Shi Yi's destination on this trip.

It is very famous and is one of the ten largest trading cities in the Immortal Ancient City. Many cultivators exchange magical artifacts, herbs, and even information about some caves and secret places they have found here.

Every time the Immortal Ancient City opens, this ancient city becomes extremely prosperous and bustling.

Shi Yi arrived and stepped into the land of the Divine Crown Realm. This realm is truly vast and boundless. The opportunities within it were taken away by cultivators countless years ago. Its only value is to serve as a place for cultivators to trade opportunities.

He strode across the boundless earth, and along the way he could see many cultivators, most of whom had already ignited their divine fire.

Those cultivators who haven't ignited their divine fire will never risk venturing into the world; if they encounter enemies who have become gods, they will die without a burial place.

Shi Yi remained expressionless and did not immediately launch a large-scale campaign to recruit followers.

He doesn't need to do that; it's too troublesome. He can simply recruit some of the strongest first-generation followers and let them recruit more followers.

Shi Yi doesn't need to do everything himself.

As for ancient freaks, that timeframe is too early. No ancient freaks have been born yet. Among the first tier, Shi Yi is probably the only one still living in the world.

Those beings had lofty ambitions. The reason they sealed themselves away and waited until this life was to become gods in an alternative way and surpass the legendary ultimate realm. Any alternative method of becoming a god is very difficult and cannot be accomplished in just five months.

Shi Yi is an isolated case.

Moreover, he hasn't completely succeeded yet; there are still three symbols to be engraved. It can only be said that he has just begun.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Shi Yi has already passed the most difficult initial stage, and the road ahead will be relatively easier.

On the horizon, a magnificent city emerged, gleaming with divine light, and from afar, it looked like a sacred crown standing there.

Shi Yi gazed into the distance and saw streaks of blood-red energy shooting straight into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon.

That is a manifestation of the gathering of the strong.

The closer one gets to this ancient city, the more cultivators there are, all there to trade their wares.

Besides cultivators who come to the Immortal Ancient City, some native inhabitants also come here to trade for what they need.

The natives are divided into two types: the most primitive natives, who are the beings that existed in the minor world when the Immortal Ancient Flower bud was formed; and the outside cultivators who were unable to leave after the first 2,999 openings to the Immortal Ancient, as well as their descendants who intermarried with the natives.

Regardless of the type, they are all tormented and imprisoned by the ancient curse. Once their cultivation reaches or exceeds a certain threshold, they will go mad and die. This is an obstacle that all the original inhabitants of the ancient world cannot overcome.

Of course, normally, these ancient inhabitants do not come to these places and instead stay in specific areas.

Shi Yi had no intention of provoking the natives; he had only one target: those powerful first-generation gods.

Every ancient freak has such followers. They walk an unorthodox path to godhood in seclusion, while their followers scavenge resources outside to support their practice.

Finally, Shi Yi approached the City of Divine Mist.

There are even more cultivators here, people come and go, it's very bustling.

The city and the outside world are like two different worlds. Inside the city, there are many rules that restrict the fighting between cultivators, and no one dares to violate them, not even the followers of the ancient freaks. Outside the city, however, there are no taboos, and robbery often occurs.

Those who dare to act in this way are mostly followers of ancient monsters. Even if cultivators are robbed, they can only swallow their anger in the face of the ancient monsters' power and dare not say anything more.

Shi Yi did not linger outside the city. He went straight into the city and inquired about the first generation of gods who were independent cultivators in Shenmian City. For him, the more the better.
