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

Chapter 246 The Road to Heaven
Taiyi Dao Gate.

In a courtyard in the middle of Guyue Peak.

"The Menglan Ruins near Beiyuan Prefecture are about to open, and many people from our sect have already signed up to go there."

"This is the site left by the Menglan Sword Sect in the Middle Ages. It contains many opportunities. Those who entered before all came out with great gains."

"However, my current condition is not suitable for going to a place like the Menglan Ruins."

"I don't need to compete for a spot to go to the Menglan Ruins. It's better for me to stay in the sect and continue my secluded cultivation."

Not long ago, Shi Yi went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to exchange for another batch of supplies to aid his cultivation. Then he returned to his residence to continue his secluded cultivation.

Secluded cultivation also requires many cultivation supplies, some of which are used to assist in cultivation, while others are for daily use; it does not mean that one must never leave the house.

Furthermore, he isn't completely staying indoors all the time. In other people's eyes, he's consolidating his cultivation, practicing Taoist arts, and refining magical artifacts.

Therefore, when Shi Yi was exchanging auxiliary cultivation materials at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he heard about the Menglan Ruins, because the Menglan Ruins were about to open, attracting the attention of many people.

The Menglan Ruins had been opened before, so the signs of its opening were very clear. Many people were aware of the situation and were already preparing to enter the Menglan Ruins.

According to the information Shi Yi heard, the Menglan Ruins is a sect's ruins space. Normally, it is hidden in the void, and it will only show some signs when it is opened. At that time, one can wait for the Menglan Ruins to open.

Although the location of the entrance may change, it is basically near Beiyuan Prefecture and also near Yunfu Prefecture, located near the border. Therefore, this place is very special and does not belong exclusively to the Taiyi Sect.

Although the location where the signs appeared this time was different from the previous one, it was still near the border between the two states.

When the Menglan Ruins were opened, all the surrounding forces would scramble to enter and compete for the opportunities within.

After all, some people had previously used the opportunities they obtained from the Menglan Ruins to make rapid progress in their cultivation and rise to prominence.

The appearance of such a person naturally attracts more attention.

However, the Menglan Ruins are different from the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm controlled by the Taiyi Sect. The Menglan Ruins are not a safe place. Once you enter, you may not be able to get out, because there are many dangers hidden inside. If you are not careful, you will die in the Menglan Ruins.

Many of those who had previously entered the Menglan Ruins had died.

Furthermore, those who entered the Menglan Ruins involved various forces, each with their own schemes and rivalries, resulting in an even higher mortality rate.

After all, in places like this, it's common for people to resort to dirty tricks, and even sect disciples have suffered many deaths there.

After hearing about this, Shi Yi made a point of listening to more related information. Even though he knew that the opportunity would be useful to him, he had no intention of going to the Menglan Ruins.

He had not yet perfected the Xuanzhen Concealing Breath Technique, and the spirituality within the Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure was not yet stable. He had no intention of going out before the Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure entered its growth period.

Even within Guyue Peak, he rarely moved around unless absolutely necessary, let alone leaving the Taiyi Sect to go to dangerous places like the Menglan Ruins on the edge of Beiyuan Prefecture!

He wanted the opportunity, but he wasn't going to act rashly now.

"Now, disciples from all the peaks are actively signing up to compete for a spot in the Menglan Ruins. The competition is fierce. Since the timing isn't right for me, I should just pretend I don't know anything about it and not pay too much attention to it."

"These days I've focused most of my energy on the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique. At my current pace of cultivation, it should take me at most a few more days to reach the perfect level of the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique."

"However, the spiritual energy within the tribulation magic weapon still needs some time to be nurtured. Based on the previous situation at the Menglan Ruins, I estimate that before my tribulation magic weapon was fully nurtured, the Menglan Ruins would have closed."

"In comparison, I'll expend more energy on the Blue Star Beacon Country."

"There are quite a few useful people here in the United States, in areas such as biological research and technology, which are very helpful to me."

Shi Yi did not focus his attention on the Menglan Ruins, because the timing was not right for him.

Given the current situation, he definitely won't make it, so naturally he won't continue to pay attention.

On the contrary, he needs to pay more attention to Earth, so Shi Yi focuses his attention on the United States.

Since he has now gone abroad and arrived at the place his family arranged for him, he has been getting familiar with the environment, the people and the rules of conduct in the neighborhood, and also trying to find out the information he wants.

In the United States, he still needs some manpower to help him with his work.

Unlike Great Xia, the rules of conduct and human nature in the United States are very different. Shi Yi needs to familiarize himself with these things first, and with someone's help, the efficiency will definitely be faster.

As for the school, Shi Yi hasn't gone there yet.

The biggest reason was that it wasn't time for school to start yet, and besides, he wasn't focusing on school at the moment.

Shi Yi also wanted to acquire some more powerful weapons, and at the same time, he hoped to make some progress in drug research.

Shi Yi had previously studied traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine, and although he had made some progress, it was not enough, as some research could not be solved by knowledge from books alone.

He planned to use modern technology to assist in the research and accelerate its efficiency, so finding suitable people became one of his choices.

Within the Taiyi Sect, there is a medicine refining hall where pills and elixirs are produced—items that cultivators like him desperately need. This would certainly be of great help to him. However, if he were to rely solely on himself, it would be quite difficult to make any significant progress in this area, and the efficiency would be very slow.

Finding suitable personnel within the Taiyi Sect is not easy, which is why Shi Yi turned his attention to the United States.

Just like his plan to go to the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to collect the Thousand-Year Fire Lotus, if he can handle the matter of refining medicine himself, he will naturally not need to take out the Thousand-Year Fire Lotus. Instead, he can refine it in secret and consume it on his own, which will save him a lot of trouble.

For example, the century-old stone milk in his hands can only be used orally, which is one way to utilize it. There are other ways to use the century-old stone milk in the relevant alchemy books, and its uses are more than he thought. However, Shi Yi did not have time to try these.

He could borrow these books on alchemy from the Transmission Pavilion, but reaching the level he envisioned was not an easy task.

When Shi Yi first became an inner disciple, he borrowed some books from the Inner Court's Transmission Pavilion, but at that time most of his energy was devoted to cultivation.

Now that he has been promoted to an elite disciple and arrived at Guyue Peak, and his Taoist and martial arts cultivation is difficult to improve quickly, he naturally devotes some of his attention to these areas.

As his cultivation level in Daoist arts increases, the cultivation resources he uses become more precious. At this point, the difficulty of obtaining these precious cultivation resources increases significantly, and Shi Yi also needs to consider other ways to obtain them.

Within the Taiyi Dao Sect, there are also various arts and crafts to cultivate, such as weapon crafting, alchemy, and formations. These are very helpful to cultivators, but mastering them to a very high level is quite difficult.

Shi Yi has a strong learning ability and has been exposed to some of the various methods. In the end, he still plans to focus on alchemy as an auxiliary cultivation method because it is the most helpful to his cultivation.

At the same time, he will also come into contact with some knowledge of formations and the like, since he has the supernatural ability to see through illusions, and he will naturally make good use of it.

As for weapon crafting, he will deal with that when he wants to enhance the power of his magic weapon again.

Lu Yan had previously reminded him that once a cultivation tool reaches the level of a magic treasure, further improvement would depend more on his own efforts.

Nurturing is only one part; the other part is to refine even more precious spiritual materials into the magic weapon itself, allowing it to grow further.

Using someone else to do this step isn't very effective, and it might even affect the maximum potential of the magic item.

Although Shi Yi's tribulation-inducing magic weapon hasn't reached that stage yet, he still needs to make some preparations in advance. Many aspects of cultivation depend on himself, which is why Shi Yi has set his sights on Blue Star.

One person's manpower is limited, so let others lend him a helping hand.

"I hope these preparations on Earth will be helpful to me."

Shi Yi's eyes were deep.

He makes some arrangements in advance, but he's not sure if they'll be needed.

Even if things don't go as planned, he will prepare in advance.

The path of spiritual practice requires experimentation.

Blue Star.

Lighthouse country.

The outskirts of the city.

In a pumpkin farm.

A group of people gathered at night inside a house on the pumpkin farm.

These people were all dressed in formal attire, with solemn expressions, each holding a yellow tulip, and sitting in an orderly fashion waiting.

Where everyone was waiting, a very conspicuous slogan was hung high.

This is the 'Path to Heaven', an inconspicuous religious sect within the country of the Lighthouse.

The original believers perished along with the first missionaries, but some survived by chance and were passed down to others, becoming well-known.

The current missionaries of the 'Path to Heaven' are survivors of that time. They claim to be 'messengers of God' and use their own examples of being reborn from destruction to prove the correctness of the 'Path to Heaven'.

In his words, his survival meant he had seen the path to heaven.

Igor Cooper, dressed in a refined black suit, walked onto the platform, opened his arms, and looked at the world with pity in his eyes.

He seemed to be a messenger of God at this moment, extremely devout.

He is now a messenger of God.

Below the platform, more than a hundred believers chanted in unison.

Each person's eyes were filled with reverence for God and longing for heaven.

Compared to the previous cult 'Heaven's Gate', the current 'Path to Heaven' has a wider reach and more followers, and has not been defined as a cult.

These believers, of varying ages and genders, shared a common thread: reverence for God and a longing for heaven.

Each of them had a solemn expression, their eyes filled with fervent faith in God.

"God said that the fact that the wildfires in New Jersey could not be extinguished was the consequence of people's disrespect for God, and it was God's punishment."

"People should revere God and have faith in God, instead of valuing money more than life itself."

"However, our God is merciful, our God loves the world, and has sent down a divine decree, instructing us believers to help extinguish the wildfires that are raging across the land."

"After the wildfire is extinguished, we will all be remembered by God, and after we die, we can go to heaven with God."

Igor Cooper played a video of the wildfires in New Jersey, his eyes filled with pity for the fires, looking utterly compassionate.

He also specifically showed the tragic scenes of those who lost their homes in the wildfires, making people aware of the terror of divine punishment.

"If we cannot help extinguish the wildfire, then the next place where divine punishment will occur will be our homeland."

"Everyone, please do your part to extinguish the wildfires in New Jersey and protect our homes."

"Let God remember us, so that we may go to heaven together after death."

Igor Cooper continued.

At the same time, a beam of white light suddenly fell on him, making him look as if he were in the light, a savior of mankind.

It was as if only he could avert divine punishment and extinguish the mountain fire.

"My Lord, I am willing to offer five thousand cuts to avert divine punishment, protect our home, and go to heaven with you after death."

"I would give two thousand knives to serve my god."

"I do."

Upon hearing this, the believers below became very 'proactive' in serving God.

After these people spoke up, the rest of the people became very proactive.

Upon seeing this, a smile flashed in Igor Cooper's eyes.

As a messenger of God, faith alone is not enough; he also needs money from these believers to prove their faith.

Only in this way can he continue his mission and lead these believers to heaven.

He had some regrets after surviving the ordeal, but after leaving the hospital and seeing the enormous amount of credit debt he owed, coupled with his inability to find a job, he changed his mind!
The 'Path to Heaven' was born from his hands, and the concept borrowed from the 'Gate of Heaven,' allowing the 'Gate of Heaven' to be reborn in his hands.

His experience is the best proof, after all, it was published in the newspaper and there were related interviews on TV, proving that what he said was true!

Igor Cooper looked at these believers, who in his eyes were all fat sheep.

These "fat sheep" are also very proactive, helping to recruit new believers.

Thanks to the influence of the United States, the 'Road to Heaven' has developed very well, with a high quality of believers who contribute a considerable amount of money to it.

He had already paid off his previous credit debts and now had a lot of money. The pumpkin farm where they lived was his property, and he had become a farmer.

Some of these believers became his employees legally and legitimately, while others had to pay him money to become believers.
