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

"I said, you're a bit noisy."

"No one has ever dared to talk to me like that before."

“Now that you have it, can you get lost?” Shi Yi said.

If the old man in purple robes hadn't warned him not to make a move here, he would have already dealt with this clown.

"I must say, you've got some nerve." The blond man was on the verge of exploding with anger; it was the first time he'd ever met a peer who dared to reprimand him like that.

"Senior, you said we can't use our hands, but you didn't say we can't use our eyes, did you?" Shi Yi suddenly transmitted his voice.

Upon hearing this, the old man in purple robes was taken aback: "Use your eyes?"

Before he could figure it out, Taiyin Shiyi made his move. He slowly opened his Taiyin double pupil, which was covered with runes and was extremely deep. One glance was enough to make people fall in love.

The blond man was about to continue his provocation when the gaze of the man with the double pupils of the Taiyin Sect shot towards him, and instantly, he found himself unable to look away.

That eye seemed to possess a kind of magic, like a demonic well that devoured people's hearts, making them irresistibly drawn to it like moths to a flame.

Before the blond man could shake off the effects of his double pupils, a terrifying force descended from nothingness and landed on his chest.

Double pupils open the heavens!

"puff!"

The blond man immediately coughed up blood, his face turning pale. He was nearly split in two by the attack. This was because Shi Yi had held back. After all, this was a gathering place for trial participants, and it wouldn't be good to start a killing spree. So, Shi Yi spared the man's life. If he had gone all out and unleashed the supreme secret of the Double Pupil Technique, the blond man wouldn't have been able to withstand it and would have lost his life instantly.

"you!"

The blond man was suddenly struck by lightning and nearly killed. He was furious and, without thinking, immediately formed hand seals. His body overflowed with powerful golden blood energy, causing the surrounding void to distort.

"I'll return the favor with a palm strike!" the blond man roared, unleashing his great divine power as he prepared to strike Taiyin Shiyi's head.

To his surprise, Taiyin Shiyi made no attempt to defend himself, not even trying to dodge. The blond man was overjoyed; if his attack had struck Taiyin Shiyi's head, this clone would likely have vanished into thin air.

Just as he was brimming with confidence and about to get his revenge, an old and dignified voice rang out, echoing outside the city.

"How dare you! Is this ancient city the place for you to duel?"

The next moment, a terrifying pressure at the level of a sect leader descended. The blond man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and still unleashed his offensive technique towards the sky, shattering the clouds in all directions.

"Senior, he attacked first." The blond man pointed to the hideous wound on his chest, wanting the sect leader to punish Shi Yi harshly, preferably by stripping him of his trial qualification.

"I only moved my eyes, but I didn't take any action. Senior can testify to that." Before the purple-robed elder could speak, Taiyin Shiyi spoke first.

The blond man was stunned, because he had never seen Shi Yi argue so sophistry before.

"Senior, he's just making excuses." The blond man came to his senses.

"Alright, you've all come here not for internal strife, so why fight? From now on, no one is allowed to lay a hand on anyone, not even with their eyes. Anyone who disobeys will be punished." The purple-robed old man waved his hand.

"?" The blond man looked incredulous, seemingly unable to believe that the old man in purple robes would say such a thing.

"That's not fair!" he yelled, feeling like he'd been tricked.

Just then, Taiyin Shiyi stretched out his right leg, with three strands of immortal energy emanating from it, which were extraordinary and quite sacred, exuding a terrifying and overwhelming power.

"If you keep making noise, I'll let you experience the hardness of this leg. The senior said that you can't use your hands or eyes, but he didn't say you can't use your legs."

Chapter 296 Sigh

"Three strands of immortal energy!"

The blond man looked shocked, stunned by what he saw. Although he was still furious, reason made him stop what he was doing. After letting out a cold snort, he moved away from Shi Yi.

Even though Shi Yi came from the barren Three Thousand Dao Provinces, he was still a powerful figure with three strands of immortal energy. The blond man knew that he could not possibly be a match for Shi Yi.

Seeing that the blond man had backed down, Shi Yi stopped pressuring him, considering it an effort to give face to the three supreme beings and the purple-robed elder.

For the rest of the time, the blond man kept his distance from Shi Yi and dared not approach him. Judging from the way the purple-robed old man handled the conflict between the two, even if Shi Yi really kicked him, he probably wouldn't be in any serious trouble, but the blond man would suffer the consequences.

Soon, the third trial participant arrived, and like the blond man, he came from the Boundless Heaven.

The creature and the blond man looked at each other across the distance and nodded to each other, clearly knowing each other.

Then, the fourth, the fifth... one after another, the trial participants arrived at the ancient city. They followed the example of those who came before them, each finding a place to sit and wait.

Soon, a man surrounded by chaotic energy, with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, arrived, none other than the famous Ten-Crown King.

He arrived at the ancient city and immediately saw Shi Yishuang sitting cross-legged on a giant rock, resting with his eyes closed.

The latter sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"Fellow Daoist Shi's strength truly puts us to shame. Who would have thought that you, who once dominated the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, were merely an avatar, possessing only half the essence of your original self?" The Ten-Crown King exclaimed in admiration.

He reigned as king for ten lifetimes, wielded the World Tree sapling, cultivated three strands of immortal energy, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the most brilliant geniuses of the Immortal Ancient Era. His inner pride was beyond words, but when facing Shi Yi, he couldn't help but sigh and feel inferior.

In a different context, the Ten-Crown King did not believe that half of his original essence could overwhelm the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm like Taiyin Shiyi, and perform such a feat as fighting four opponents alone.

It can be said that the ten-time champion's confidence is no less than anyone else's, except for Shi Yi.

However, this does not mean that the ten-time champion will withdraw from the competition. The incomparably strong opponents can better ignite the strong heart within him.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me," Taiyin Shiyi replied.

"I must admit that I am inferior to you before the realm of gods, but the realm of gods is a new starting point, and a new struggle has just begun. It is still unknown who will prevail."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, kings never meet again, let's meet again at the summit." The Ten-Crown King had thick hair and a tall, imposing physique, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Alright, see you at the summit." Shi Yi nodded, but a sigh escaped his lips.

The Ten-Crown King is truly powerful. If it weren't for a Chosen One like Shi Hao, he would definitely be the most outstanding genius. Unfortunately, at the watershed moment of Supreme, the Ten-Crown King couldn't keep up at all.

Not long after, the banished immortal also arrived at this place.

There was a past relationship between him and Shi Yi, but it wasn't a friendly one. So, he didn't greet Shi Yi first, but just stared at Shi Yi's body for a long time with a blank expression.

The banished immortal, who remained unknown for ten lifetimes, was able to rival the ten-time crown king and was the undisputed uncrowned king. Such a person naturally possessed the arrogance of a peerless genius. However, after learning that Shi Yi had used half of his origin to sweep through the Immortal Ancient Realm, he was stunned for a long time and found it hard to accept.

I thought the gap between us wasn't that big, but now it seems he was just being narrow-minded.

The immortal sighed inwardly, his heart filled with turmoil. He found a place to sit down and his gaze lingered on Taiyang Shiyi.

He could tell that the path taken by Taiyang Shiyi was different from that of Taiyin Shiyi, but they had one thing in common: both were unfathomable.

People arrived intermittently afterward.

Nine Lives Heavenly Lord arrived, and from afar, he could see Shi Yi's twin bodies sitting cross-legged on the giant rock.

He gave a bitter laugh and transmitted his voice, "Brother Shi, you kept this from us for so long. You entered the Immortal Ancient Realm with your clone and swept away enemies from all sides. How can we, who consider ourselves geniuses, bear this?"

"We were forced into this situation. This era is known as the Chaotic Ancient Era. Without defying the heavens, one cannot survive. There are too many and too strong enemies ahead. Only by rising up as soon as possible can we have a glimmer of hope," Shi Yi said helplessly.

Nine Lives Heavenly Lord deeply agreed. Having cultivated the Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man, he could vaguely glimpse a wisp of heavenly secrets.

At this moment, a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, whose beauty could topple kingdoms, strode over. It was Qingyi, the second incarnation of Yuechan. She and Shi Yi were old acquaintances, having met when they were in the lower realm.

Qingyi nodded slightly to Shi Yi, her heart filled with unease. In just a few years, the twin stones born in the prison of the lower realm had reached a height she could hardly imagine, especially the large stone in front of her, which had already exceeded all reason.

The challengers flowed into the city like a gentle stream, and the number of geniuses standing before the city gates grew ever larger.

The much-anticipated Huang-Shi Hao arrived late, accompanied by the witch, who wore a smile until she saw her nemesis Yue Chan, at which point her face hardened.

The two stones sensed each other from a great distance, after all, they were old rivals.

Gazing at Shi Yi's figure, Shi Hao showed no surprise, for he had long suspected this, and their meeting only confirmed his suspicions.

He used his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to stare at the Sun Stone, trying to figure it out. As a result, what he saw were one after another burning Sun God Furnaces. The sheer power of these furnaces was so overwhelming that it was suffocating even from a distance.

Taiyang Shiyi smiled slightly, his vital energy so strong that it naturally distorted the void around him.

Shi Hao felt a chill run down his spine. This Sun Shi Yi seemed to be no less powerful than the Moon Shi Yi. Both of their clones were capable of dominating the world and sweeping across all directions. What would happen if they were to merge?

At this moment, Shi Hao felt the pressure increase. Compared to his cousin, he was still far behind and needed to work hard to catch up.

"Hmm, this new woman is quite beautiful. Even in the heavens, she is a rare beauty, truly a peerless beauty," the blond man commented on the witch's appearance.

He had given the same assessment when Qingyi and Yuechan arrived earlier.

The witch smiled faintly and did not respond.

She was tall and slender, with skin as white as mutton fat jade, and jet-black hair that cascaded down to her waist. She stood gracefully, her eyes bright and intelligent, like a black gemstone, making her the center of attention wherever she went.

At this moment, the trial participants in front of the city gate had already divided into several camps, and with the exception of a few individuals, they were all forming cliques.

Seeing the witch's stunning beauty, which amazed the world, and the fact that she had cultivated an ethereal aura, their goodwill towards her naturally increased, and they all extended invitations.

"Fairy, this way please." Someone said with a smile, gesturing to lead the witch to their group.

The blond man smiled and extended an invitation.

The witch neither agreed nor refused, her face beaming with a bright smile.

“Sister, you are so beautiful, like a fairy who has fallen from the heavens to the mortal world. You must be from the Jietian Sect, right? Hehe, please come over for a chat. Your sect had a great connection with Wuliangtian back then.” A female cultivator said.

"My sect has a connection with the Boundless Heaven? I've never heard of that before," the witch replied with a smile.

"Come here, little sister, and I'll tell you everything," the nun continued, extending an invitation.

Suddenly, the immortal sitting cross-legged not far away spoke. He opened his eyes, and the runes inside were profound and mysterious, as if he could see into the origin of all things in the world.

“Come here. You received a part of that inheritance, so you’re technically my junior sister.”

Upon hearing this, the witch's face showed a look of sudden realization: "So that person was you."

Shi Hao, who was behind him, was completely confused. He also wanted to call the witch back to team up with him, but after seeing Shi Yi, he wisely kept quiet.

Because during his journey with the witch, he could tell that the relationship between the witch and Shi Yi was not simple.

At this moment, Taiyin Shiyi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

“You’ve come; come behind me.”

Upon hearing this, the witch, who had been unable to make a choice, revealed a smile she had never shown before on her pretty face, like a fairy flower in full bloom.

Without hesitation, she moved gracefully behind Taiyin Shiyi, curiously observing Taiyang Shiyi. After sensing Taiyang Shiyi's formidable power, her heart was greatly shaken. No one could have imagined that Shiyi was so terrifying, possessing an incredibly powerful solar clone outside of the Immortal Ancient Realm.

In the distance, Yuechan and Qingyi both frowned. This mortal enemy actually had a close relationship with Dashi. There was a subtle emotion in their eyes.

"As expected," Shi Hao thought to himself, having guessed this outcome.

Just as the witch arrived behind Shi Yi, the old man in purple robes appeared, striding forward as if he were one with heaven and earth.

In front of everyone, he announced the final test set by the three supreme beings: to kill the small fry who had infiltrated from the alien realm.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Shi Yi looked puzzled. Wasn't it said that reaching the Imperial City meant passing the test?

There was a commotion and discussion among the crowd. Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended, and one of the three supreme beings arrived to explain the reason for the situation and why there were cultivators from the Boundless Heaven among the trial participants.

It turns out that when Wuliangtian was conducting the selection, many geniuses missed it for various reasons, such as being in seclusion or exploring ruins.

The middle-aged Supreme Being further informed the beings of the Three Thousand Continents that the number of places available for passing the test would not be reduced because of the cultivators from the Boundless Heaven.

After explaining these points, the middle-aged sage instructed the cultivators to form teams to complete the trials, stipulating that each team could not exceed five people.

Seeing that everyone was forming teams, the witch glanced at Shi Yi in front of her. Seeing that he didn't move, she wasn't in a hurry and stood behind Shi Yi to wait quietly.

After all the teams had set off for the small town near the Imperial Pass to search for exotic fish and shrimp, Shi Yi then transmitted his voice to the middle-aged sage.

“Senior, these are the heads of alien creatures I killed along the way. She is in my team, so there’s no need to search for her anymore.”

Seeing the pair of bloody heads that Shi Yi threw out, the middle-aged sage's eyebrows twitched slightly. The original owners of these heads were no weaklings. In addition, considering Shi Yi's contribution in finding the Qilin cub, he did not hesitate for long and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, she was already quite strong, and now that she has cultivated immortal energy, she is certainly qualified."

The witch was somewhat stunned. He passed the final test so easily? What was Shi Yi doing? Did he use connections?

The middle-aged emperor is always perceived as aloof and unapproachable, so it's unexpected that he would agree to Shi Yi's request.

Only after the middle-aged sage left did the witch speak up to ask a question.

"how did you do it?"

Shi Yi didn't hide anything: "I brought a Qilin cub."

"A Qilin cub?" The witch's mouth formed an "o" shape. All along the way, rumors were spreading that a Qilin cub had been born, but no one had ever managed to catch it. Unexpectedly, it had fallen into Shi Yi's hands.

"Next, we just need to wait for the three supreme beings to return," Shi Yi nodded.

The two sat down cross-legged on the boulder and waited. Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, a magnificent power descended, enveloping Shi Yi and the witch.

This was the work of a supreme expert. The two of them felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and when they regained their sight, they were already inside the magnificent imperial city.

However, the scene before them was somewhat unexpected. There was no bustling prosperity, only broken, ancient, and desolate landscapes.
