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

"A person with double pupils? From the Martial Prince's Mansion, surnamed Shi?"

A fully grown pureblooded being muttered to itself, repeating a few key pieces of information. Its gaze instantly turned cold, and its eyes were filled with killing intent as it looked at Shi Yi.

Of all the adult purebloods of the ancient sacred mountain, only this one harbored the most intense malice towards Shi Yi.

Shi Yi also sensed this, and he looked thoughtful, roughly guessing the other party's identity.

Aside from the Pixiu clan, there shouldn't be any other pure-blooded race that harbors such hatred towards the Shi clan of the Martial King's Mansion in the Stone Kingdom.

It all started when the Great Demon God Shi Zhongtian shot and killed a pure-blooded Pixiu on the battlefield of the Hundred Races.

Then, the adult Pixiu moved its lips slightly and whispered a few words to the two cubs.

"Yes, Yi'er is indeed from the Martial King's Mansion." Seeing that it could no longer be concealed, the golden spiders in formation stopped hiding and withdrew their golden light.

Shi Yi's resolute face and distinctive double pupils were revealed to the powerful figures of the God Mountain.

"Is it really double pupils?"

The powerful figures from the ancient divine mountain were astonished. Who did not know the glory and brilliance of the double pupils in the ancient battle?

Unexpectedly, the supreme talent belonging to the human race ended up being accepted into the Demon Spirit Lake. However, since his father was a disciple of the Demon Spirit Lake, all of this was not unreasonable.

Upon seeing that he was a human with double pupils, the powerful figures of the Ancient Divine Mountain had no objections. They guessed that Venerable Demon Spirit Lake gave Shi Yi the baptism quota in order to make up for the physical deficiencies of those with double pupils.

Seeing that these powerful figures from the sacred mountain no longer mentioned Shi Yi's human identity, the arrayed golden spiders breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as time went on, new forces from the ancient sacred mountain gradually arrived.

Without exception, all the later arrivals were surprised to see a human child standing in the Demon Spirit Lake camp. They were even more surprised when they learned that he was a person with double pupils.

Fortunately, no force opposed Shi Yi's entry.

The Golden Spider believed that as long as Shi Yi successfully entered the Blood Pool of the Qilin Secret Realm, he would stand out from the crowd, sweep through the Blood Pool, and obtain the greatest opportunity in the Blood Pool.

Soon after, all the ancient sacred mountains arrived and gathered here.

Pure-blooded creatures that normally strike fear into the hearts of humans are everywhere here, including Golden-Winged Rocs, Chilongs, Azure Phoenixes, Zhujians, Bifangs, Pixius, and Divine Hous... you name it, they're all there.

There are even humanoid pure-blooded ferocious beasts—the Celestial Race.

Shi Yi scanned the entire scene and noticed several formidable opponents, the most powerful of whom was Jin Yunteng, known as the number one genius of the Ancient Divine Mountain.

Not only is it exceptionally talented, but it also has the advantage of age. If Shi Yi hadn't come, Jin Yunteng would have been the best spot in the blood pool.

Shi Yi sensed that he would have a confrontation with this creature. In addition, the two pure-blooded cubs of the Pixiu clan were hostile to him. They thought they were hiding their true nature well, but in front of those double pupils that looked straight to the source, everything was exposed.

As for the pure-blooded beings of the Celestial Race, the young Yunxi was among them. Although she was still young, one could already see some of the beauty and temperament of a future goddess.

As you can see, many pureblood cubs have left their elders and approached the Celestial Race's territory to chat with the young Yunxi. Jin Yunteng is one of them.

"Yunxi, follow me, and you can use the best spot in the Blood Pool with me." Jin Yunteng was very proud. At a young age, he had already shone brightly in the Ancient Divine Mountain, repeatedly breaking records in the Blood Transfer Realm and winning the title of the number one prodigy of the younger generation of the Divine Mountain. Anyone would feel proud in that situation.

For Jin Yunteng, the best baptismal spot in the Blood Pool was already his for the taking; looking around, no one was his match.

He didn't even take Shi Yi, who had double pupils, seriously, because as a Heavenly-Rank Bird, he possessed extreme speed and had the confidence to face someone with double pupils.

When young Yunxi heard Jin Yunteng's words, she ignored him and didn't like him. She was exceptionally talented and proud, and she disliked Jin Yunteng's domineering words and actions.

However, this did not dampen Jin Yunteng's enthusiasm, and he still did not leave.

Seeing this, Shi Yi shook his head and stopped paying attention. He turned to the little golden spider behind him and said, "Once we enter the secret realm, just follow behind me. There's no need for you to take action."

Having received a favor from the Demon Spirit Lake, it was only right for them to protect the little golden spider. However, Shi Yi did not want his teammates to distract him.

The little golden spider's strength is below average among all the cubs of the ancient divine mountain; there's no way around it, it's just too young.

Jin Yunteng was at least three years older than Little Golden Spider, a gap that was insurmountable.

Shi Yi only needs to push through everything himself, and let the little golden spider cheer from behind, so that it won't be defeated by its opponents and Shi Yi won't have to be distracted to save it.

"it is good."

The little golden spider didn't refuse; instead, it nodded in agreement, showing that it was well aware of its own strength.

"Now that everyone is here, let's not delay and begin the blood pool baptism," a pureblood warrior in formation said.

Others naturally have no objections.

Then, all the adult pureblood beings took out a crimson stone, handed it to the pureblood cubs behind them, gave them some instructions, and then urged them to set off.

The so-called Blood Pool is located deep within the mist, and the Bloodstone will guide them on their way.

Shi Yi gripped the blood-red stone, scanning it with his eyes. He saw some mysterious patterns, resembling a small, incomplete part of a Qilin, radiating a blood-red glow.

Chapter 36 Footsteps

Perhaps due to its proximity to the Qilin Secret Realm, the crimson light emanating from this broken stone flickered and dimmed, as if it possessed a life of its own.

Following the instructions given by the Golden Spider in the array, Shi Yi channeled his vital energy into the broken stones.

The next moment, the remnant stone gave its response, its aura merging with Shi Yi's.

Then, Shi Yi was surprised to find that a thin, crimson line emerged from beneath his feet, running along the earth and leading into the depths of the mist.

He realized that this must be the route to the Qilin Blood Pool.

By this time, quite a few purebred cubs had already set off, their figures disappearing into the mist and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Shi Yi no longer hesitated. He turned around and called out to the little golden spider, controlling his aura to envelop it. Then, one after the other, they disappeared from the sight of the array of golden spiders.

It breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on its lips. With Shi Yi's strength, it was almost a certainty that he would take its direct descendants to occupy the best position in the blood pool.

With a good position, the baptismal effect of this offspring will surely exceed expectations, and it will go further in the future.

Not far away, the adult Pixiu noticed the expression on the array of golden spiders and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

It had already instructed two pure-blooded cubs of the Pixiu clan to target Shi Yi after entering the blood pool. Although it was impossible to kill Shi Yi directly, it could force Shi Yi into the worst position. This could be considered as a way of venting the anger of the pure-blooded Pixiu who died at the hands of Shi Zhongtian.

The arrayed golden spider was completely unaware of this; if it had known, it would surely have laughed out loud, which would have been rather unkind.

In the mist, Shi Yi led the little golden spider forward. With the guidance of the broken stone, their journey went very smoothly, and they did not encounter any setbacks along the way.

When they occasionally encounter other cubs from the ancient sacred mountains, they will intentionally or unintentionally keep their distance from each other and will not make direct contact.

The real battle will take place in the Qilin Blood Pool; no one will be so reckless as to expend too much energy on the way.

Shi Yi would not provoke others without reason. He activated his double pupils, his gaze deep, and kept observing the situation under his feet and around him.

Not only for his own safety, but also because he wanted to explore the Qilin Secret Realm a little, he possessed double pupils, which allowed him to see through illusions and see the source directly, giving him an advantage that others could not match.

Of course, the primary goal is still to complete the Blood Pool Baptism, which is crucial to whether Shi Yi can make a final push to the Blood Removal Realm.

From Shi Yi's perspective, the surrounding mist had changed. It was no longer as harmless as before, but instead emitted a faint red light and was filled with an inexplicable terrifying power. If it weren't for the protection of the aura emanating from the broken stone, their mere Blood Moving Realm strength would have been crushed into dust long ago.

Beneath the mist, the earth is covered with intricate and profound patterns. These patterns intertwine to form a terrifying field. In this complex field, a single misstep can have far-reaching consequences, leading to the immediate demise of any cultivator.

The path indicated by the broken stones was almost the only way to survive, at least from Shi Yi's perspective.

He had already activated his double pupils to their fullest extent, with countless symbols and chains of divine order dancing and deducing within them.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi did not find any other way out.

He didn't get discouraged and kept doing the same thing, believing that there must be an opportunity for him in the Qilin Secret Realm.

Just as the man and the spider approached the blood pool, and the outline of the Qilin Blood Pool could be seen in the distance, Shi Yi suddenly stopped.

The little golden spider was startled by this sudden scene, thinking that something unexpected had happened.

However, it looked around and saw nothing. The blood pool was right in front of it, and the little golden spider was already impatient to jump into the large pool.

However, it did not urge them, because before the assembly, the Golden Spider had instructed it that once inside the Qilin Secret Realm, no matter what happened, it had to listen to Shi Yi and not overstep its bounds.

The weak must submit to the strong; this is the most basic principle.

"Brother Shi Yi, what's wrong?" it asked in a low voice.

Shi Yi did not answer immediately, but his eyes shone brightly, like two golden lamps set in their sockets, shining brilliantly in the mist.

If someone were standing in front of him at this moment, they would surely see the vast, star-like symbols in his eyes.

Just as the little golden spider was feeling a bit uneasy, Shi Yi suddenly spoke up and did something that made its heart race.

Shi Yi actually deviated from the safe route and took a step in another direction.

The golden spiders repeatedly warned them that this behavior was taboo and should not be done.

But now, Shi Yi disregarded the taboo and took that step.

"Follow in my footsteps."

Shi Yi spoke in a low voice, his face solemn, his tone carrying an unquestionable air.

The little golden spider hesitated, intimidated by his aura, and could only obediently follow behind Shi Yi, stepping in his footprints.

To its shock, it discovered that the imagined place of certain death had not materialized. Every step Shi Yi took was on safe ground. Sometimes, his steps were large, requiring leaps, and sometimes, his steps were small.

Because the spider has so many legs, the little golden spider had to walk on its last two legs to avoid making a mistake, which looked quite comical.

However, Shi Yi had no interest in paying attention to these things at the moment.

Having been in the Qilin Secret Realm for so long, and almost reaching the Blood Pool, he finally used his double pupils to find a safe path. Although he didn't know where it led, Shi Yi would definitely be itching to go if he didn't.

As for the Blood Pool Baptism, he wasn't worried because he had part of the token needed to activate it. Without a missing piece, no one else could activate the baptism, so there was no need to rush.

After traveling several miles along the safe path, the man and the spider suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps approaching them.

In any other place, hearing strange footsteps wouldn't cause Little Golden Spider any emotional reaction. However, hearing footsteps in this mysterious Qilin Secret Realm was somewhat terrifying, especially since this wasn't the route to the Blood Pool. Apart from the two of them, no other creature from the sacred mountain would risk their lives to come here.

"Brother Shi Yi, did you hear that sound?" it asked hurriedly.

Shi Yi nodded and replied, "I heard it, it's footsteps. You'd better activate your Blood Divine Dawn immediately to start your defense, otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, the little golden spider immediately did as Shi Yi said without saying a word, regardless of why Shi Yi said it this way.

Chapter 37 Inheritance

"Buzz!"

A brilliant golden light emanated from the little golden spider's body as it unleashed its most powerful defensive stance without reservation.

A layer of precious light automatically rose from Shi Yi's body, and the sound of a great bell reverberating emanated from within him.

Just as the man and the spider assumed a defensive stance, the mist in front of them mysteriously dissipated, replaced by a purple aura.

Shi Yi managed to remain calm, but the little golden spider's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, and even a hint of fear.

Because within this purple aura, an unparalleled force swept in, as if some enormous creature was about to appear.

The next moment, the earth and sky exploded, the mountains and rivers shook, and a clear footstep sound appeared in the ears of the man and the spider.

Not long after, a second sound appeared, very dull, like stepping on a divine drum, earth-shaking, making one's heart tighten and very uncomfortable.

Then came the third sound, the fourth sound...

Each time those footsteps appeared, their destructive power increased dramatically. Eventually, the pressure became so intense that the heavens and earth roared, as if the earth was about to explode.

The fifth sound was a deafening roar, as if millions of people were shouting in unison, shaking people's hearts and making their courage tremble.

The little golden spider was trembling all over and was about to collapse to the ground, but fortunately Shi Yi helped it up.

At this moment, they saw the scene within the purple aura clearly: a Qilin covered in purple scales was striding towards them, and the terrifying footsteps were coming from it.

Shi Yi remained calm, for his double pupils had long seen through everything and understood the truth. The divine purple Qilin was not a living creature, but merely a reappearance of its former supernatural powers. Its destructive power was limited; all that was needed was to withstand its terrifying pace.

The little golden spider was clearly terrified. As a pure-blooded creature, it was noble in the lower realm, its bloodline inspiring awe. But in front of the purple qilin, it was as insignificant as an ant. There was a natural suppression in its bloodline, and that fear seeped into its bones and froze its soul.

"Boom!"

As the sixth step landed, the void exploded, and purple mist surged forth, engulfing everything.

Even someone as strong as Shi Yi couldn't help but shudder and sway slightly.

The final seventh step caused bright red blood to trickle from Shi Yi's lips, his body to glow brilliantly, and his internal energy to surge, indicating that he was defending with all his might, but he was still injured.

As for the little golden spider, Shi Yi stepped in to protect it. With its strength, if it were to withstand the Qilin's Seven Steps, it would inevitably suffer severe injuries, affecting its blood pool baptism later.

Since he promised to protect the little golden spider, he wouldn't go back on his word. Besides, it was his idea to deviate from the safe route.

After taking seven steps, the enormous purple Qilin suddenly vanished, disappearing with the wind as if it had never existed.

Only seven huge footprints remained in the same spot.

Shi Yi had already realized that this was the inheritance of the Qilin Steps, and not far from the Qilin footprints, in the thick mist, there were some huge rocks engraved with Qilin symbols.
