Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 225 Law Enforcement Hall (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Falling Maple District.

After returning from Guyue Peak, Shi Yi went straight back to his residence.

The Heavenly Fire Qi he absorbed in the secret realm was not considered a cultivation resource that the sect had to hand over, and of course, it could not be exchanged for sect contribution points. After all, in the eyes of others, the Heavenly Fire Qi was all in his Yin Spirit, and they had no idea that he had the Bodhi Seed Space.

When Shi Yi entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, the sect naturally did not expect him to gain anything there, and basically assumed that Shi Yi was the one who would use the secret realm to break through to the Yuan Dan stage.

Every time the secret realm opens, people like Shi Yi will enter it. Those who manage to get a spot either have an extraordinary background or very high cultivation aptitude, or even both. This is not unusual.

For those at the peak of the Artificial Ability realm, breaking through to the Core Formation realm and directly advancing to the Solid Core realm requires a high level of personal cultivation aptitude.

Even if some people prepare the corresponding elemental energy, they may not be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Solid Core and thus break through to the Solid Core realm.

It can be said that acquiring the corresponding attribute energy is a threshold, but it does not mean that having the right attribute energy will allow one to directly break through to the Real Core realm, comprehend the true meaning of the Real Core, and condense the true meaning of the Real Core and the Yuan Core.

Being able to condense a solid core in one go can be considered a higher threshold.

Even if some people possess elemental energy, when they finally break through to the Yuan Dan realm, they can only condense a nascent core. Cultivating at the Yuan Dan realm still requires progressing step by step; one cannot ascend to the heavens in one leap.

For those who cultivate the Tao, cultivation resources can be of some help, but not absolutely, unless they are extremely powerful rare and precious materials.

However, rare and precious materials of this level are generally not used by cultivators at the peak of the Object Manipulation realm. Cultivators at higher realms also need such precious cultivation resources.

For those with relatively average aptitude for cultivation, the best approach during cultivation is to proceed step by step, as this is the most suitable path for all cultivators.

Some paths exist not for ordinary people.

"Although this trip to the secret realm has ended, the matter within the secret realm is not completely over yet. It will only be over after I have reported the situation in the secret realm to the people of the Enforcement Hall and the sect has dealt with Qu Sheng. Only then can I go into seclusion and cultivate in peace for a period of time."

"For now, we should continue to refine the Yin Spirit in preparation for breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage."

"Although this trip to the secret realm was fruitful, it also revealed that my mastery of the different types of Taoist techniques is insufficient."

"However, there are only so many Daoist techniques that inner disciples can cultivate. When I become an elite disciple, I will have more Daoist techniques to choose from."

"At that time, we might even be able to obtain new Taoist techniques from the ancient master. The Taoist techniques that the ancient master values ​​are not simple."

During this trip to the secret realm, Shi Yi also realized his own shortcomings.

When he clashed with Qu Sheng, he could only choose to use offense as defense because he had not cultivated any defensive Taoist arts. Therefore, when Shi Yi clashed with Qu Sheng, he did not have any better options.

If Shi Yi had also cultivated defensive techniques, he could have stalled for even longer and wouldn't have had to risk his physical body in the end.

Although Shi Yi was confident in his martial arts skills, sometimes there was no need to take risks if they were not necessary.

After all, sometimes, accidents happen amidst adventure.

You might think you have everything under control, but unexpected things can happen.

Shi Yi had actually considered exchanging defensive techniques for the third floor of the Transmission Pavilion, but in the end he gave up.

Because the defensive techniques in the third level of the Transmission Pavilion are only effective at the level of object manipulation, but once his cultivation level improves, they will become somewhat inadequate!

Within the three levels of the Transmission Pavilion, there are not many Daoist techniques that can be improved alongside the cultivator.

As far as Shi Yi knew, the Golden Crow Divine Fire Dao Technique could also be found on the third floor of the Transmission Pavilion, but this technique was incomplete, containing only the first part. It was possible to cultivate the Golden Crow Divine Fire, but to enhance its power, one would need to continue exchanging for the remaining content.

The Golden Crow Divine Fire Dao Technique that Gu Qianqiu gave him was already complete, which is one of the reasons why the Golden Crow Divine Fire was more powerful in his hands than in others.

Shi Yi was unaware of this at first, and only learned of it later by chance.

Within a sect, people are not the same.

Therefore, Shi Yi had more ideas when choosing Taoist techniques.

Just like the Daoist technique Myriad Manifestations Mystic Mirror that he saw Qin Yao use in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, its defensive capabilities were extremely strong. Even Qu Sheng's powerful attack after his core shattered could not break it. Later, after Qin Yao slightly used the power of her Yin God, the Daoist technique Myriad Manifestations Mystic Mirror returned to normal.

Although this person possesses the cultivation level of Qin Yao's Yuan Dan realm, it is also related to the Daoist technique, the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Light Mirror.

This type of defensive Taoist technique is the one that Shi Yi wants to cultivate.

Each person has only so much time to spend on Taoist cultivation, therefore, one must be careful when choosing a Taoist technique.

Shi Yi had not seen the Myriad Manifestations Mystic Mirror technique in the third floor of the Transmission Pavilion, and he had not paid attention to defensive techniques when he entered the fourth floor of the Transmission Pavilion.

Furthermore, the Gu Yue Peak token that Gu Qianqiu gave him allowed him to borrow some books from the fourth floor of the Transmission Pavilion, but it did not include cultivation methods such as main cultivation techniques and Taoist arts.

To redeem these items, Shi Yi needs to reach a certain level of status to be eligible.

Therefore, after returning to the sect, Shi Yi was aware of his shortcomings in cultivation, but he was not in a hurry to exchange for Dao techniques at the Transmission Pavilion.

As his cultivation level in Taoist arts improves, he will have more options.

"As for exchanging resources to help break through to the Yuan Dan realm, let's wait until things are settled in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm first."

"It's a good time for me to consolidate my cultivation."

"It's better to make the breakthrough process as smoothly as possible in one go."

After returning from the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, Shi Yi felt that the level of his Yin Spirit tempering had been further improved.

His previous cultivation of Daoist arts had reached the peak level of object manipulation, largely thanks to the help of the star power in the Azure Yin-Yang Lake, which helped him reach the limit of his Daoist arts cultivation. However, this limit was the limit that his Yin spirit had reached during his previous cultivation.

After this trip to the secret realm, and with the various experiences within it, plus the absorption of some Heavenly Fire Qi, the upper limit of his Yin Spirit has increased.

In terms of Daoist cultivation, he was still at the peak of the Object Manipulation level, but his strength had improved considerably since he first entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, and the solidification of his Yin Spirit had also increased.

This is why Gu Qianqiu told him not to rush to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

A person's potential is not fixed; time, changes in mindset, opportunities, and spiritual resources can all help a person raise their potential.

Those who cultivate themselves do not necessarily have to strive to break through the limits, but when they have the ability to break through the limits, they should not give up such an opportunity.

The limits broken at the beginning of cultivation will eventually bring benefits in the future and allow cultivators to go further on the path of cultivation.

Shi Yi was well aware of this, which is why he set aside some time to further consolidate his cultivation and to try to break through his limit again.

Even if he can't, it won't affect him much, because he can't expect to have a peaceful period of seclusion and cultivation until the matter of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm is over.

Therefore, rather than wasting it, it would be better to help him consolidate his cultivation and check his own upper limit.

This also allows for a clearer understanding of oneself.

The Enforcement Hall of the Taiyi Sect occupies a separate peak on Wangyue Mountain. Its hall master, Gao Zhuoran, is also the peak master of this peak and one of the sect's twelve guardian elders, holding a position equal to that of Gu Qianqiu.

Qu Sheng was an elite disciple of Yulan Peak. The matter of killing his fellow disciple was handled personally by Gao Zhuoran, the head of the Enforcement Hall. After all, the sect's higher-ups were more cautious in dealing with elite disciples, who were the backbone of the sect.

At this moment, several chairs were placed in the center of the hall, and each chair was occupied by a person of extraordinary status.

Of the people sitting there, Shi Yi only recognized Gu Qianqiu, Bai Tianya, and Elder Zhang. The others were also sitting with them. Although Shi Yi didn't know these people, it was clear that they were all of similar status.

As for the very center position, it must be occupied by Gao Zhuoran, the head of the Enforcement Hall.

Shi Yi knew about the other party because he knew they were coming to the Enforcement Hall, so he learned about the Enforcement Hall's situation.

"Reporting to the elders, your disciple Shi Yi was previously in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm..."

Following the sect's arrangements, Shi Yi arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

Inside the main hall of the Enforcement Hall, after being questioned by the people of the Enforcement Hall, Shi Yi began to recount his experiences in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

As for his words, he followed Gu Qianqiu's instructions and did not mention Elder Zeng.

After Shi Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the people nearby.

One of them was Qu Sheng, who was in a very bad state. He was listless and had many wounds on his body, obviously because he had been interrogated by the people from the Enforcement Hall.

Shi Yi was unaware of the process, but it was clear that this interrogation was not simple, otherwise Qu Sheng would not have acted this way.

The person on the right is Qin Yao. At this moment, Qin Yao's aura has been greatly subdued, and she looks like a gentle and kind girl next door, which is very different from her state when Shi Yi first met her in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Shi Yi didn't recognize the others, but he had seen these faces before, as they had all entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Those who saw Shi Yi would remember his appearance, but they wouldn't know his name because he hadn't mentioned him.

Their arrival at the Law Enforcement Hall at this time was clearly related to the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

"Qin Yao, tell me what you saw in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm."

After Shi Yi finished speaking, someone in the Enforcement Hall spoke up.

Actually, we know pretty much everything, but this is the normal procedure.

Within the Taiyi Daoist sect, the Enforcement Hall wields considerable power, but actions cannot be handled privately or internally; they require impartial and multi-faceted processing.

Within the sect, the various forces are mutually restraining, and no single force holds absolute power.

Even the sect leader cannot act arbitrarily; he needs to consider the opinions of others.

Not to mention that above the sect leader are the Supreme Elders and others.

Compared to the sect leader, the Supreme Elders and others are the key to the Taiyi Sect's long-term stability in Beiyuan Prefecture.

After all, once one's cultivation in the Dao reaches the realm of immortals, both their combat power and ability to protect themselves are completely different from those at previous levels.

A master at the level of a deity can build a powerful force if he is willing to spend the time, but this process will consume a lot of time and energy and he will also encounter some troubles.

"Reporting to the elders, your disciple Qin Yao is currently within the secret realm."

After the people from the Enforcement Hall spoke, Qin Yao also stepped forward and explained in detail the situation inside the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Qin Yao mainly talked about what happened after she met Shi Yi, and also about taking Qu Sheng to see Elder Zhang.

Qin Yao explained these points in great detail, from a different perspective than Shi Yi, but the general content was similar.

Then the people from the Enforcement Hall had the people next to Shi Yi tell them what they had seen in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm. Unlike Shi Yi and the others, these people had encountered Qu Sheng and Hua Yingyi after entering the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

However, they did not cooperate in collecting cultivation resources within the secret realm; instead, they separated and did not affect each other.

This is actually the norm. Once inside the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, unless you are a close friend or relative, you will generally act independently.

They will only choose to cooperate if they encounter a serious problem that requires them to join forces with others.

However, this kind of thing only happens in the central area of ​​the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

In the central area of ​​the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, there are usually powerful spirits and monsters guarding the precious spiritual herbs and materials, and some of them cannot be dealt with by one person alone.

These spirits and monsters grow in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, and their blood and flesh essence is of considerable value. They even possess special effects, making their overall value quite high.

Bringing them back to the sect can also earn them a considerable amount of sect contribution points.

When Shi Yi was waiting to return to the Taiyi Sect on the flying boat, he saw someone bringing back a huge monster with flesh and blood, whose special blood and energy were extremely obvious.

Having consumed the flesh and blood of spirits and monsters, he naturally knew their value, and could also exchange for such flesh and blood within the Taiyi Sect.

The people who brought back these spirits and flesh-and-blood beings were basically all in groups of several.

Most of them only emerged when the exit gate of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm opened for the second or third time.

To gain more, one naturally needs to spend more time and energy, and it is quite common to even have injuries.

It's already a miracle that the person didn't die!

"You all already know the whole story."

"Qu Sheng's actions in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm have been verified by inquiring into his heart. The events are exactly as the disciples described, with no difference."

"Qu Sheng had previously harmed sect disciples in the secret realm, and this was not the first time he had done so."

“This boy’s deeds are too numerous to count. He has repeatedly violated the clan rules, so he shall be dealt with in accordance with the clan rules.”

"Kill without mercy!"

After these people finished speaking, the head of the Enforcement Hall slowly opened his mouth and defined the nature of the matter.

Compared to what Shi Yi and others said, Qu Sheng's previous actions were also revealed by the people of the Enforcement Hall, who even conducted a special interrogation to confirm his conscience.

When the head of the Enforcement Hall delivered the final verdict, an overwhelming killing intent surged from his body, sending chills down everyone's spine.

People who have reached this level of Taoist cultivation are generally not simple.
