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

After the peak of prosperity comes decline; after the brilliance comes the withering of flowers and the decay of the world.

"Who do you think is the number one young person of our time?" someone asked.

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Shi Yi, the one with double pupils. Although he hasn't fought against any young supreme beings since entering the Void Path, his feat of traversing the peaks of the Transcendent Realm in a single day is undeniable. He even entered the ultimate trial ground, which no one had ever set foot in before, and returned alive. In the vast world, who can compare to him?" Someone immediately responded with unwavering certainty.

Upon hearing this, most people nodded in agreement. Anyone who has been to the Beihai Stone Forest knows how valuable the peaks are, especially the ancient peaks that have never been climbed for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. The difficulty of climbing them is hellish, and even the so-called young masters have to shake their heads and sigh in despair.

However, Taiyin Shiyi overcame all obstacles and forcibly climbed to the top. In a single day, he traversed the entire summit and surveyed all the mountains below. Once this news spread, he immediately became the leader of the younger generation in the hearts of the vast majority of people.

"Not necessarily. When climbing the ultimate peak, strength is not the only factor. There is also the ability to comprehend the Dao. If you can quickly comprehend the Dao left behind by the supreme expert who left the ultimate peak, the resistance to the summit will be greatly reduced."

"Undeniably, Shi Yi is incredibly powerful, climbing all the peaks of the highest realm in a single day. However, this doesn't mean he's invincible among his peers. He possesses the terrifying talent of double pupils, giving him an innate ability to comprehend the Dao that surpasses his contemporaries. The ability of his double pupils has made a significant contribution to his achievements," someone countered.

"Then tell me, besides Shi Yi, who deserves to be called number one?"

The being immediately uttered the name of a renowned young supreme being.

"Zi Ri Tian Jun, he may be called the number one of his generation. As we all know, he fused with the Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed. This seed was incomparably famous in the Immortal Ancient Era. It was said to be a perfect ancient seed that would be invincible after fusion."

"The Purple Sun Heavenly Lord? He is indeed very strong, but the Little Heavenly King is even stronger. Back then, the two of them were evenly matched and their power shook the Boundless Heaven."

Later, the Little Heavenly King fused with the seed first, transforming into a Void Dao cultivator. Several years ago, he made a major breakthrough in the path of the Ancient Immortal Method, making his Dao Fruit more perfect, which earned him high praise from the elders of the Immortal Academy. On the other hand, the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord fused with the seed much later, and it is still uncertain whether he has perfectly fused with the ancient seed. "Someone spoke up to deny the former.

"The two young supreme beings you mentioned are both from the Immortal Academy, but I have a different opinion. The Ancient Immortal Method is an old method. Our predecessors have already walked this path and ended in failure. In this era, only by creating new methods and opening up new paths can we gain a glimmer of hope."

This is why the geniuses of the Holy Academy are even more remarkable. Daoist Qi Gu may be an invincible being; he constantly breaks through limits, achieving phoenix rebirth in multiple major realms, and has already transformed to an unimaginable state. In this world, his methods are unparalleled, and few can rival him.

"Qi Gu? Is that the Taoist priest who wears gray clothes, always has a stern face, and never smiles? Legend has it that he is very strong, ridiculously evil, but I don't think so. There are several beings in the Holy Academy who are no weaker than him."

"Have any of you heard of the Little Sage?" the creature beside him asked.

"Is the Little Sage the same unparalleled genius who was on par with the Little Heavenly King and the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord? He was invincible for a time, but later went into seclusion and hasn't been heard from since."

He certainly has the qualifications to challenge for the title of the number one among the younger generation. After all, he was hailed as a "Little Saint" ten years ago. Who knows how powerful he has become in the past decade?

People were talking about who they thought was the number one young talent. Shi Yi was recognized by the vast majority of cultivators as the number one young prodigy. However, many beings did not agree. They disliked the descendants of the sinful race, hated them, and supported other young supreme beings.

"You've all forgotten one person."

"Who?"

"He is known as Jin Zhan in the Holy Academy. He is hailed as a peerless genius who overwhelms all his rivals and is invincible among his peers. He is also the fiancé of Wang Xi, the jewel of the Changsheng Wang family."

"What? Kim Zhan? He can't possibly still be alive." Someone exclaimed.

"Why is it impossible? If Jin Zhan is dead, why would the Changsheng royal family form a marriage alliance with the Jin family?"

“That makes sense. If he were really alive and became Wang Xi’s Daoist partner, who would dare to provoke Wang Xi in the future?” a creature sighed.

Many people nodded in agreement with his words, because that being named Jin Zhan was simply too extraordinary, a legendary hero of the Holy Academy with many amazing achievements.

The world did not know what race he was, only that he was humanoid and had broken through two major realms of extreme power in half a year, looking down on heaven and earth.

Later, it was rumored that he wanted to reproduce this miracle, and it was suspected that he wanted to melt the ten grottoes into one and then carve an innate killing array in his body.

Unfortunately, an unexpected incident occurred halfway through the journey; a strange burst of Daoist fire appeared and incinerated it into ashes.

When news of his demise spread, no one laughed at him. They only felt that he had set too high a standard for himself. He had only heard that a man named Huang, who had cultivated a unique cave heaven, and Cao Yusheng, who had inscribed a primordial chaos killing array in his body, had come from the Three Thousand Dao States, and he wanted to imitate them and create a miracle.

Now, hearing that such a dead creature has reappeared in the world, how can one not feel terrified?

"Speaking of Jin Zhan and Wang Xi, I'm reminded of someone."

"Who?"

"Huang, he and the double-pupiled Shi Yi are cousins, known as the Twin Stones. They are no less than the Ten-Crown King, the Immortal, and others. It is said that they have fought each other and were evenly matched."

However, it's a bit of a pity that Huang didn't receive the supreme seed, nor was he blessed with the great opportunities like the blood of a true dragon or the blood of ultimate power. It seems he has already faded into obscurity.

"To say he's just another face in the crowd is a bit of an exaggeration. Haven't you heard that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse? No matter what, he's still the number one person below the strongest group," someone replied.

"Yes, it's a real pity about Huang. He was able to be called one of the Twin Stones alongside Shi Yi, which shows how powerful he was. I didn't expect him to be left behind when he was in the Void Dao Realm."

Many people sighed in dismay, while others secretly rejoiced, thinking it was a wonderful thing.

Not far away, in the void, Taiyin Shiyi and Shi Hao stood side by side. They had come together at some point, but their words were not very friendly.

"Little brother, it seems like they look down on you," Taiyin Shiyi whispered.

"It doesn't matter. Absolute strength will eventually silence the gossip, and these things don't affect me in the slightest." Shi Hao spoke the truth. He really didn't care about these things because he knew that true gold will always shine.

"Hehe, as expected of my younger brother." Taiyin Shiyi chuckled.

Then, he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, you seem to have mastered the legendary technique of using your body as a seed. I'm a little curious about what level you've reached now. I wonder what the outcome would be if we fought at the same level."

Shi Hao smiled.

"Do you really want to fight me on equal footing in the form of an avatar? You'll definitely be the one who suffers then. Let's wait until you merge into one body before we talk about it." He was very confident. Using his body as a seed was unprecedented, and he was much stronger than before.

Shi Yi smiled.

“That’s true. You’ve already used your body as a seed, so to fight you with a clone would be disrespectful to someone who has used their body as a seed,” he said.

Although Taiyin Shiyi was not afraid of Shi Hao, he had to admit that the potential of the clone was ultimately limited. He had deeply felt this when he was refining his cave heaven, and the potential of the complete body was much greater.

Shi Hao will experience a major breakthrough in the three realms of Void Path, Self-Slaying, and Escape One, which is incomparable to Shi Yi's clone. Of course, it won't be that fast for Shi Hao to surpass his clone, nor will he have the opportunity. He will merge into one before that and advance to Escape One.

As they were speaking, a flash of blue light appeared not far away, and the misty haze was also tinged with a dreamlike blue, looking both serene and mysterious.

The noisy discussion subsided instantly; people knew that a very important person had arrived.

A pair of long, slender legs stepped out from the blue mist, their blue dress fluttering, unable to conceal their stunning figures.

This was an extremely beautiful woman, with snow-white skin, blue hair and eyes, and eyes that shone like jewels.

She moved gracefully, her long eyelashes fluttering, exuding a stunning charm.

"It's her, Princess Lan Xian of the Lan Clan, a family of immortals, a genuine young supreme being who has fused with an unparalleled seed, known as the Heavenly Seed." Someone recognized the woman's identity and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"So it was her. No wonder she was so unfathomable. Back then, when the Celestial Seed was born, it dyed the Immortal Academy as blue as the sky. No one knew where such an invincible seed went until Lan Xian successfully merged with it and fought against Zi Ri Tianjun in the North Sea Stone Forest. Only then did people realize the truth."

"Once these seeds are obtained, they will inevitably be distributed to the descendants of the immortal families. Even a genius like Huang will not be able to get a single one."

"Yes, the Changsheng family is powerful, there's nothing we can do about it," someone sighed.

In the void, two stones stand tall, their gazes serene, looking at the beautiful woman who has captured the world's attention.

"So, little brother, how strong is this Celestial Seed Fusionist?" Shi Yi asked casually.

"The Celestial Seed is an unparalleled immortal seed that can stand alongside the Primordial Purple Qi Seed. Legend has it that it is a gift from the heavens to offspring, and it is incredibly powerful. Now that I have seen it, it is indeed true. This woman is extremely strong and is definitely one of the top beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," Shi Hao said.

"Brother, are you joking? The Sky Dome fusion user is at most on par with that purple-qi kid, not even close to being a leading figure."

Chapter 357 One Finger

Shi Hao's lips twitched slightly, speechless.

If nothing unexpected happens, the "purple-qi boy" that Shi Yi mentioned should be the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord who is often mentioned by people.

In people's mouths, the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord reigns supreme, invincible, sweeping aside all the geniuses of his generation, destined to be unrivaled in the world. But in Shi Yi's mouth, he is called the Purple Qi Boy. If people knew this, they would probably be shocked.

However, Shi Hao agreed with these words.

Although Zi Ri Tian Jun and Lan Xian were very strong and could be called geniuses of their generation, he was not afraid at all. He firmly believed that his self-made seed was invincible and transcendent.

Of course, Shi Yi's path should not be underestimated. To this day, he has not yet revealed his extraordinary talent, only showing the tip of the iceberg. Shi Hao can't see through him. Only when Shi Yi's two bodies merge into one can he truly glimpse his true potential.

"If Lan Xian is here, then the other young supreme beings won't be far behind. I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder how many of the top ten experts will come," someone said.

When the top ten masters were mentioned, many cultivators shared their opinions, and besides the beings mentioned earlier, a few others were also brought up.

"Jiuyou Aoyu is invincible. After being defeated by Shi Yi at the Heavenly God Academy, he worked hard and broke into a celestial mansion on his own. He obtained a perfect seed, merged with it, and successfully achieved perfect evolution. He should be one of the top ten masters."

"The Ten-Crown King Emperor has fused with the World Tree Sapling, a heaven-defying immortal root, making it difficult for him not to become powerful. There is also the Immortal, who is the most mysterious. There are rumors that he is no weaker than the Ten-Crown King."

"Yi Yi, a young man from the Holy Academy, was born with an extreme affinity with the power of the ultimate. After the fusion, his divine power was unparalleled and surpassed all others in the world."

"In addition, there is Dugu Yun from the Guardian lineage. His golden blood energy is terrifying and overwhelming, making his contemporaries feel despair."

"Although Huang has fallen behind, he won't drop too much. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. His foundation is still there, and he might be able to reach the bottom of the top ten masters."

……

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Just then, a commotion arose from the Heavenly God Academy.

With a "whoosh," a burst of colorful light shot out, dazzlingly bright—clearly a sign that a great opportunity was about to be born.

Upon seeing this, a group of people immediately rushed over. Then, everyone set off. No one could remain calm because they sensed a rich aura of immortality emanating from the ground in that area.

Who doesn't know that there's an unexplored immortal abode beneath the Heavenly God Academy these days? So many people have come here just for it.

"Heavens! It's a muddy pond! So this is where the Grand Elder fishes!" A disciple from the Heavenly God Academy exclaimed in surprise. He had seen Meng Tianzheng sitting cross-legged here, fishing with a rod.

There lay a muddy pond, its surface glowing with light, and beams of divine light shot out from the cracks in the mud, as if it concealed something earth-shattering.

Although the opportunity was just around the corner, making people envious and eager, everyone maintained a degree of rationality and abided by the unwritten rules.

Even when a celestial abode is created, the first to enter are young supreme beings. Only after they finish eating can others have a sip of soup. This is cruel, but in this dog-eat-dog world, such a rule is perfectly normal.

"boom!"

On the horizon, the rosy clouds surged, sweeping in like golden rainbows, rapidly engulfing the muddy pond and eliciting gasps of surprise.

It was a red gold alms bowl, clearly a ritual implement from an ancient monk's lineage.

"It is the Great Sudatta, the young supreme being who has merged with the relics of the immortal monk."

"It's him. It seems that Lan Xian has a rival. He is said to be destined to achieve an immortal body and become a celestial monk."

"Boom!"

A ripple spread outwards, a soft blue light emanating from the Great Dao's rules, which rippled across the crimson-gold alms bowl.

She was Lan Xian from the Lan Clan, a family of immortals. She had arrived here a step earlier than Xu Tuo, so naturally she couldn't just sit idly by and watch him monopolize the opportunity.

Before the two could speak, a gust of wind swept around them, and a gray-robed Taoist priest with a blank expression suddenly appeared in front of the muddy pond. He didn't say a word, but just quietly looked down.

"Qi Gu of the Holy Academy, the one who has broken through the extreme realm and undergone Nirvana several times, is likely to be invincible?" People were surprised. In this world, it is difficult to not attract attention when there is a person who has achieved great success in the path of law.

"Hehe, three fellow Daoists have arrived, so I'll join in the fun too." Laughter rang out from the horizon.

The next moment, a purple aura surged forth, a hazy mist enveloped the surrounding area, especially in the east, where it was particularly intense, as if a brilliant purple galaxy was rushing in, giving people an indescribable sense of nobility.

Auspicious purple clouds are coming from the east!

People immediately recognized the newcomer as the recently renowned Purple Sun Heavenly Lord, who had become a young supreme being in the public eye thanks to the unparalleled prestige of the Primordial Purple Qi Seed.

A muddy pond has attracted so many young supreme beings; without a doubt, only a Celestial King's cave has such an attraction.

Thinking of this, the cultivator in the distance couldn't help but swallow hard. How many Immortal King's caves are there in the vast world?

The muddy pond glowed, and ethereal mist rose from it. This clearly indicated that something was about to burst forth, perhaps some kind of supreme treasure, something that would tempt anyone.

The four figures stood in four different directions, their auras clashing and colliding, forming a four-legged standoff, with none giving way to the others.

In the void, Taiyin Shiyi's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Shi Hao and said with a smile.

"The treasure is about to appear, and I will reveal myself. You can follow behind your elder brother and be sheltered from the wind and rain."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao shook his head and smiled. So many years have passed, and Shi Yi is still the same.

In the end, he did not refuse the suggestion because Shi Yi was too strong. He was at the level of "Severing Myself" and even if he used his body as a seed, he would not be able to contend with him and would only be crushed. Rather than trying to attract attention, he would rather remain calm.

As for the question of fairness, Shi Hao felt it was very fair. The law of the jungle is the essence of this world of gods and demons. Shi Yi is strong enough and cultivates quickly, so he deserves the opportunity here. If others are unwilling or feel it is unfair, they can follow Shi Yi's example and attempt to break through to the point of killing me.

Amidst the clamor of voices, the four supreme beings each occupied a corner, waiting for the treasure beneath the muddy pond to emerge. At this crucial moment, two figures silently stepped out of the void and, amidst countless stunned expressions, walked towards the muddy pond.

"My God, who are these two? With four young supreme beings present to suppress this place, how dare they approach them? Aren't they afraid of coughing up blood and flying backwards instantly?" someone said in surprise and doubt.

"Are you blind? You don't even recognize these two creatures?" the person next to him sneered.

"Shuangshi, have you finally arrived?"

"Are they the Twin Stones?" Someone was seeing Shi Yi and Shi Hao for the first time and their faces showed shock.

The legendary young leader who traversed the highest peaks in a single day—Shi Yi, the Double-Pupiled One—did not possess the imposing aura or unfathomable depth of other young supreme beings; he appeared to be just an ordinary mortal.

Wasn't it said that Shi Yi, who had double pupils, was almost an immortal, and even more handsome than the Little Heavenly King of the Immortal Academy? Now it seems that the real Shi Yi is far from the legend.

"Shi Yi, who has double pupils, and Huang, how come they are both so ordinary? Huang is ordinary because his seed is not good, but why is Shi Yi ordinary?"

"Hmm, what kind of seed did Shi Yi fuse with? There's never been any news about it. Could it be that, like Shi Hao, his seed is inadequate?"
