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

After the participating cultivators had settled down, the three supreme beings waved their hands, and instantly, the entrance to the ancient road was opened, revealing a clear view of the vast mountains.

"Go, as long as you survive, follow this road and you will find the ancient city. I will be waiting for you there."

The Supreme Being's words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone, igniting their excitement and making them feel as if they could already see themselves entering the ancient city and ascending to the heavens.

Seeing this, the Supreme Being nodded in satisfaction and waved towards the no-man's-land. Instantly, golden light appeared, and the long-sealed ancient road was activated, radiating brilliant light.

"Go, whether you can find the ancient city depends on your own chance and ability." The three supreme beings made their move, enveloping a large number of geniuses, and people sensed the vast power of the laws.

The next moment, all the cultivators went black and disappeared from their original spots.

The three supreme beings used their great supernatural powers to disperse tens of thousands of cultivators to various parts of the ancient road. Some were unlucky and started from the beginning, while others were lucky and were directly teleported millions of miles away. This was random and there were no designated quotas. It all depended on individual luck.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is Shi Yi.

He became the "luckiest" one, being directly teleported 1.2 million miles away, giving him an innate advantage over all other cultivators.

This wasn't because he was lucky or a chosen one, but rather the result of Shi Yi's deliberate interference.

Before the three supreme beings made their move, he activated the Heavenly Fate Tortoise Shell in the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness. Instantly, chaotic mist filled the air, and the power of destiny was stirred, allowing him to surpass everyone else.

Shi Yi landed on the ground, without making any movement, simply standing there and looking around.

This is a primeval forest, lush and verdant, giving people a sense of vitality. However, in Shi Yi's double pupils, it is full of dangers. One wrong step could turn him into ashes and become nourishment for someone else.

For example, an inconspicuous tree may harbor a terrifying killing intent, with bones scattered throughout the soil where its roots are embedded.

For example, a dead tree by the roadside, already rotten, is the habitat of a cult leader-level insect beast.

There was also blood mud mixed with the flesh and blood of supreme and true immortal beings, exuding evil energy, which annihilated everything in an instant.

……

There are too many to count. Any one of them could take Shi Yi's life. Even a prodigy like him, a cultivator with three strands of immortal energy, is in danger of dying, let alone others.

Fortunately, Shi Yi has double pupils, which allows him to see through illusions and understand the true nature of things. Fortunately, he also has the Reincarnation Disc, which can help him avoid many terrible calamities.

With these resources, Shi Yi traveled smoothly and without much effort, making his way far away.

The others were not so lucky. Of the approximately 100,000 cultivators who participated in the trial, 70,000 died on the first day, an extremely high mortality rate. Screams and wails of cultivators could be heard everywhere, extremely mournful, like the howls of vengeful ghosts from ancient times, making people tremble with fear.

Only a few exceptionally beautiful beings could remain calm.

Shi Hao, the Ten-Crown King, the Banished Immortal, the Nine-Lives Heavenly Lord, and other such beings steadily and surely destroyed one obstacle after another that blocked their path, advancing towards that ancient city.

Many prodigies also died with regrets, falling halfway through their journey. Undoubtedly, this is a bloody road, where 99% of people are destined to die and then be forgotten.

Soon, Shi Yi approached a colossal city. Gazing into the distance, he felt the grandeur and antiquity of the city. Was this the so-called forbidden imperial city? No, it shouldn't be, Shi Yi concluded.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a city built by the descendants of those powerful individuals who abided by the ancient covenant and went to the Forbidden Zone Imperial City. Its scale is far smaller than that of the Forbidden Zone Imperial City.

However, it's worth exploring.

Just as he was about to set off to explore the ancient city, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"Who are you, and why are you wandering around the ancient city?" the leading creature demanded of Shi Yi.

The latter smiled, not answering his question, but instead asking, "And who are you people?"

Seeing that Shi Yi did not answer him but instead asked a question, the leader's face immediately darkened.

"Could he be a spy? Seize him!"

The leader shouted, and the others, who had been eager to move, rushed forward, taking out various magical artifacts and techniques, and bombarding Shi Yi's body, trying to suppress him in one blow.

Unfortunately, they misjudged Shi Yi and didn't know how terrifying he was. They looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The next moment, Taiyin Shiyi made his move, unleashing the Kunpeng Technique. Like a streak of lightning across the sky, he instantly broke free of the encirclement and attacked these creatures. His powerful cultivation at the Saintly Sacrifice Realm made him fearless of the gods. These creatures had not even cultivated immortal energy, so they were naturally no match for him.

Sunstone was not idle either; he also made a move. He swung his fists, and the divine light within his flesh and blood shone brightly, emitting a sacred and dazzling radiance, like furnaces of flesh and blood, glowing and radiating heat, or like burning suns, bursting forth with boundless light.

His physical strength was terrifying; he swept across all the heavens and myriad realms, and wherever he went, everything was shattered and annihilated. He truly broke through all laws with his own power.

Furthermore, he used the Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique, which made him unstoppable, as if he were about to sweep across the world.

"puff!"

With a single punch, several living beings were blasted to death, and the surrounding space shattered into dust.

On Taiyin Shiyi's side, several beings also bled and died tragically in the void.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Yi's double body wiped out the entire group.

Throughout the entire process, Shi Yi did not communicate with the other party or inquire about their true identities, because there was no need; he had already discerned the origins of these beings.

Deep within their eyes lurked a bloodthirsty madness and murderous intent, and their bodies contained strange substances. Undoubtedly, they had been corrupted by the aura released from the alien land on the other side of the border and had become possessed by demons.

This situation is not an isolated case; it occurs frequently. The group that Shi Yi encountered was the most powerful of them all, with all members being celestial beings. They were extremely formidable and intimidating.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough to encounter Shi Yi's dual bodies. Either of his Taiyin and Taiyang clones could easily crush them, let alone when both bodies appeared together.

Shi Yi used both hands to erase the traces left by these creatures, and then stepped towards the ancient city.

He used the Seventy-Two Transformations Technique to silently infiltrate the city. Soon, Shi Yi heard news that a pure-blooded Qilin had appeared in the world. This was a true immortal spirit from the Immortal Ancient Era, and its appearance caused a huge uproar.

"The White Qilin?" Shi Yi murmured, his eyes darting around as he pondered.

Ultimately, he decided to give it a try. He possessed the Qilin Treasure Technique and was far ahead of other cultivators, giving him ample time to communicate with the White Qilin.

Since he had encountered a descendant of one of the Ten Fiends of the Immortal Ancient Era, there was no reason to miss it. Of course, Shi Yi did not have high hopes. After all, Ning Chuan, who had a deep karmic connection with the Qilin lineage in the original work, ended up failing, let alone him.

Chapter 293 Feeling Pain

Shi Yi set off, heading towards the mountain range rumored in the city to be where the white Qilin might be hidden.

He wasn't the only one who set out to find the White Qilin; many people, more than half the city's population, were mobilized. There was no other way; it was a celestial spirit that only existed during the Immortal Ancient Era, and its preciousness was unimaginable. If they could obtain it, not to mention getting it to recognize them as its master, just exchanging it for resources would make them rich overnight.

With this in mind, large numbers of creatures rushed out of the city and headed towards the vast mountains.

Unfortunately, all these people were destined to work in vain. You see, in the original story, Shi Hao dreamed of returning to the Immortal Ancient Purple Bamboo Forest and had some karmic connection with the White Qilin, but he was unable to get the Qilin to leave with him.

After the brutal ancient war broke out, the great figures and young prodigies in the Purple Bamboo Forest fought a desperate battle against the alien creatures, suffering heavy casualties. At the critical moment, someone intervened, tearing through space and sending the White Qilin out. It was then buried in a pile of immortal matter and lived to this life.

It had been waiting, waiting for the girl who held it in her arms. It believed in reincarnation, after all, it had personally witnessed a great figure like the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King who cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Unfortunately, it will never get to see that flower again; at best, it will only see a similar one.

The Taiyin Jade Rabbit, who was quite close to Shi Hao, was a similar flower. Even though Ning Chuan and the Qilin lineage had a deep karmic connection, they couldn't compete with her.

If Shi Yi wants to take Bai Qilin away, normal methods definitely won't work. Using talk-no-jutsu would be a waste of time. He has to use some unconventional methods, which is what he excels at.

"Want this place?" Shi Yi smiled indifferently, his expression somewhat cold.

As we approached the vast mountain range, a primal aura swept over us, and ancient beasts occasionally darted past.

Soon, the tranquility here was shattered as figures rushed in, searching for the whereabouts of the White Qilin.

Shi Yi and his companion stood at the very back. Above their heads, within the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven, stood a majestic and imposing purple Qilin, lifelike, its scales densely covered and shimmering with a dazzling metallic luster.

Two avatars, two purple Qilin spirit bodies, each possessing the powerful strength of the Saintly Sacrifice Realm, only slightly weaker than the original body.

Urged on by Shi Yi, the two purple Qilin clones burst out from the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven, transforming into purple streams of light, each rushing in a different direction, deep into the Cangmang Mountains.

Although the Purple Qilin is Shi Yi's spiritual body and not a real Qilin, their fundamental energy is the same, enough to make them indistinguishable from the real thing.

The white qilin has simply lived a long time; its strength has not changed.

Next, all that's left is to wait. After all, this white Qilin possesses an ancient immortal treasure that can conceal its whereabouts. As long as it wants to hide, no one can find it.

So Shi Yi sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for news from the spirit body.

Before long, exclamations came from the primeval forest. A strange phenomenon had occurred there, with auspicious light bursting forth. The next moment, a white Qilin appeared, light and agile, carrying the unique aura of immortals, and incomparably sacred.

People went crazy and chased after it in that direction. A living fairy cub appeared before them. Who could remain calm?

Shi Yi and his companion witnessed this scene without changing their expressions. They knew that with the White Qilin's secret treasure on its body, no one could catch it.

The shouts from all directions and the rapidly approaching cultivators startled the white Qilin, who quickly used its ancient immortal treasures to conceal its form and aura.

In just a moment, it vanished, as if the figure from before had been nothing but an illusion.

"What happened? Where is the White Qilin?"

"They got away, they're too fast, we can't catch them at all."

……

The white Qilin in the void sighed. It had appeared many times, not to show off, but to search for that girl.

Even if it can't find it in person, it can still spread the message through these outside cultivators. If she learns of this news, she will definitely come to this mountain range to reunite with it.

That's why the white qilin has been lingering here and hasn't left.

At that moment, it sensed a familiar aura, a call from the very source of its bloodline.

"Ok?"

The white Qilin tilted its head, a look of confusion appearing in its large, bright eyes.

At this moment, there is the aura of the Qilin clan. Could it be that there are other Qilin that survived the Great Tribulation of the Immortal Era and lived to this life?

Would you like to take a look?

The white Qilin hesitated, wanting to be close to its kind but also unwilling to leave these mountains and rivers, fearing that the girl wouldn't be able to find it.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Qilin finally decided to go and see. An era has passed, and given the horror of the Immortal Ancient Calamity, it is impossible for a great clan like Qilin to have any survivors. But now, the aura of his own kind is so strong. What exactly happened?

Soon, a purple unicorn that was running through the mountains seemed to sense something, and suddenly stopped and looked at the empty void beside it.

The next moment, a young white Qilin appeared, its big eyes staring curiously at the purple Qilin in front of it.

The purple Qilin, which is Shi Yi's spiritual body, grinned upon seeing this.

For some reason, the young white qilin trembled when it saw the purple qilin's smile.

"Um, are you one of my people?" the white qilin asked, mustering its courage.

The purple Qilin did not answer immediately, but glanced in another direction. The white Qilin, not understanding why, followed his gaze.

A purple figure streaked across the void like a shooting star, descending upon this place and landing beside the white Qilin.

Another purple Qilin!

The white qilin was secretly delighted, for it had actually seen two members of its own kind.

The Qilin clan is already rare, especially after experiencing the terrifying Ancient Calamity. To encounter two members of the same clan in this Chaotic Ancient Era is undoubtedly a fortunate thing.

It knew that if the Qilin clan still existed, it would definitely be one of the world's top clans, with astonishing power. If it could establish a connection with its own clan, it might be able to help it find that girl.

Thinking of this, Bai Qilin asked the same question again.

The two purple unicorns smiled and shook their heads.

No?

The white Qilin's hair stood on end. The two purple Qilins before it were lifelike and vivid, brimming with vitality. What else could they be but Qilin? Could they be two Qilin corpses, being controlled by someone hiding in the shadows?

Thinking of this, the white Qilin gripped the ancient immortal treasure in its hand tightly, ready to flee at any moment should the situation turn against it.

At this moment, the two purple Qilin spoke up: "We are not your people, but are the original runes of the Qilin Treasure Technique. Although we are not Qilin, we can resolve your doubts."

"Solve my doubts?" The white Qilin was puzzled, but also a little curious.

Suddenly, the two purple Qilins parted the road, and in the open space behind them, two beings came together and walked over. It was Shi Yi's twin body.

The white Qilin instantly understood that these two purple Qilins came from these two beings, or more precisely, from one person.

It looked at Shi Yi's two figures, and their eyes met. Instantly, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the sun and moon lost their light, shouts and sounds of battle shook the heavens, gray mist filled the sky, and countless huge spikes fell, causing a terrifying carnage...

This is……

The white Qilin's heart trembled. Wasn't this the battle in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea during the Immortal Ancient Era?

In that battle, a sacred land of immortals was left devastated and destroyed. In that battle, many young people who had cultivated three strands of immortal energy perished, dying with resentment. In that battle, true immortals fell, and even immortal kings were defeated and killed. In that battle, the girl who held the white unicorn fell into a pool of blood, her eyes gradually losing their luster...

Recalling all of this, the white Qilin's eyes blurred and tears streamed down its face. It really didn't want to think about these things; to it, it was simply a nightmare.

But now, after exchanging a glance with that mysterious person, it is back to this nightmarish day.

The white qilin kept its eyes tightly closed, not wanting to see, but even with its eyes closed, everything around it still appeared in its mind.

The girl holding it was shrouded in a wisp of gray mist, and her scarlet eyes were terrifying. Years ago, it was this alien creature that killed the girl it cared about, and now, that scene was being repeated.

"do not want!"

The white Qilin roared desperately, but to no avail. The girl was still targeted by the alien creature. Despite her desperate resistance, she could not avoid her fate of death and perished once again. Her bright, lively, and even somewhat mischievous eyes gradually lost their luster and turned gray.
