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

With a cracking sound, fissures appeared on all ten stars, and terrifying starlight shot out from the fissures, covering the area.

Shi Yi's spirits lifted, his eyes were enveloped in blood-red flames, and he roared to the sky, letting out a deafening howl.

He went all in, betting everything.

Guided by the double pupils, the ten stars spun rapidly, and the starlight gushing out from the cracks merged into a nebula, covering the ten stars.

Finally, the ten stars connected with each other with a "hum," encircling Shi Yi and forming an immortal divine ring, majestic and extremely dazzling.

Finally, they resonated with each other, becoming even more dazzling, like a blazing divine sun. Shi Yi stood at the very center of the divine sun, like a god descending to earth.

The next moment, the ten grotto-heavens that make up the divine ring, which are also the ten stars, all poured their divine essence into Shi Yi at the very center of the divine ring.

Boundless auspicious energy, in streams and wisps, converged upon Shi Yi's physical body, making him seem like the only being in the world.

This feeling was truly wondrous. Shi Yi's physical body was strengthening at an alarming rate. The Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven nourished a physical cave heaven, and terrifying divine energy flowed to his limbs and bones. He felt completely comfortable.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a purple light shone brightly, and a purple sun burst forth from Shi Yi's spleen, with the faint roar of a Qilin echoing through the air.

Nourished by the star ring, the purple spleen's process accelerated significantly, and it quickly unleashed the potential of the internal Qilin blood, completing its evolution.

When the purple spleen appeared, Shi Yi's spirit and body were enhanced to a certain extent. The Yin and Yang energies and the Five Elements within his body became more harmonious and balanced. His entire body was glowing, and his appearance was solemn and dignified. Together with the Starry Sky Divine Ring, it pushed Shi Yi's cultivation to an extreme.

In particular, Shi Yi's innate double pupils were nourished when the Ten Star Divine Rings appeared and were used to build his physical body's grotto-heaven, greatly increasing his pupil power. Now, the appearance of the purple spleen has further evolved his double pupils.

Even with his eyes closed, Shi Yi's intense light still shone through his eyelids and shot outwards.

His pupil power increased greatly, and the power of various secret techniques related to double pupils also rose accordingly.

Most importantly, the function of double pupils has become stronger. Whether it is to comprehend the Dao, see through the origin of things, or deduce and see the smallest details, it has become more terrifying. If this rapid evolutionary trend can continue, then Shi Yi will only need a pair of eyes to see through everything and become the most terrifying nightmare for all enemies.

Shi Yi didn't continue. He needed to fully understand what he had gained before moving on to the next step.

So far, the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven and the Cave Heaven of the Physical Body are all evolutionary paths that Shi Yi is familiar with, and they are not much different from those of Shi Hao in the original work.

However, it is very likely that the two beings will part ways and go their separate ways in the future, something Shi Yi had a premonition of.

After all, everyone's cave realm is different.

During his cultivation, Shi Yi also used his double pupils to make deductions.

If the path to the Unique Cave Heaven is the right path for Shi Yi, then he will choose this path without hesitation, even if the previous path was exclusively for Shi Hao.

Unfortunately, the result was not so. Shi Yi deduced that the merging of the ten grotto heavens was not the most suitable path for him.

If we insist on taking this path, there is a certain chance that we can succeed and make Shi Hao's unique cave heaven the second.

However, Shi Yi wasn't that bored and deliberately followed other people's paths. He always pursued the path of the strongest, and he only had himself in his eyes, not others.

His attitude towards Shi Hao was not to kill him or try to weaken him, but to hope that Shi Hao could become even stronger than the Shi Hao in the original work and become his opponent. Only in this way could he unleash his strongest self.

As for the others, they are not qualified. How many people dare to say that they can keep up with the first group and not be left far behind?

Of course, in terms of current combat strength, Shi Yi cannot be considered to be in the first tier. After all, this is the Lower Realm Eight Regions, and the environment and scarce cultivation resources limit him.

There are vast realms in the world whose environment is superior to the eight lower realms, such as the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, the Nine Heavens among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and complete great worlds, such as other realms and immortal realms.

If you were to compare Shi Yi now with the imperial clans of the same realm from other realms, he would definitely be no match for them. However, as Shi Yi cultivates and the environment of heaven and earth changes, he will gradually catch up with, or even surpass, them—that is beyond doubt.

The tenth level fell into silence.

Since ancient times, only a handful of beings have been able to reach this place. In this life, it goes without saying that only Shi Hao in the native wilderness has the qualifications. At this moment, Shi Hao is just a four-year-old baby who is still nursing. It is impossible for him to have broken through ten levels to reach this place.

Shi Yi can now peacefully retreat into seclusion and cultivate here.

Time passed quickly, and several months flew by. During this time, he focused on consolidating his cultivation.

He gained so much: the rebirth of the Nine Star Cave, the formation of a divine ring from ten stars, a purple spleen, and so on.

Each gain greatly enhances Shi Yi's strength, but it takes time to accumulate, consolidate, and deepen his understanding.

Finally, he pushed every field to its limit under the current circumstances, reaching the pinnacle of his life. He was full of energy, his brow was glowing, his eyes were bright and piercing, his body radiant, surrounded by a brilliant divine light, like a young god looking down upon the world.

Shi Yi is eight years old now. Counting the time, it has been almost three years since he escaped from the great vortex of the Qilin Secret Realm.

His strength has also undergone tremendous changes, from the Blood Removal Realm to the Cave Heaven Realm.

Ten Heavenly Caves, Starry Divine Ring, Physical Heavenly Cave, Purple Four Organs, Double Pupils... Shi Yi's foundation and trump cards are countless. In terms of combat power alone, among the beings in the Heavenly Cave Realm of the lower realm, none can fight against him, unless they are from the upper realm, and they must be the successors of a great sect.

In a sense, he is already the strongest Cave Heaven Realm expert in the eight lower realms.

However, Shi Yi was not satisfied, because he knew that there was still a path to take after the grotto-heaven merged into the divine ring and the physical grotto-heaven was cast. He was by no means the first to reach this point.

The original Shi Hao embarked on the invincible path of achieving unity with the celestial realm based on this foundation.

He was pondering how he should proceed, and he was also using his double pupils to deduce his future.

However, the matter was of great importance, and the deductions made by Chongtong were difficult to control, leaving everything in chaos. He only had a premonition that the Unique Cave Heaven was not the most suitable place for him.

Shi Yi sighed softly. No matter how much time he spent trying to understand it, he wouldn't be able to grasp it completely. He needed to personally experience the secrets of the Cave Heaven Realm in order to seize that sliver of opportunity that lay hidden in the darkness.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and made the ten stars appear. Then, with a thought, he controlled them to merge into one, transforming into a dazzling divine ring.

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly, and a divine light faintly emanated from between his brows. He gathered his strength, fused his essence, energy, and spirit together, and charged towards the dazzling divine ring.

At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent, all things were still, the void was silent, and billions of years passed by like flowing light.

Shi Yi seemed to have traversed the vast universe, penetrated the cosmos, crossed the long river of time, and arrived at the ends of the earth, wandering in the void, witnessing the creation of heaven and earth, the rise and fall of eras, and the cycle of cause and effect.

Even though it was only a brief stop, Shi Yi benefited greatly, touching upon the true essence of the Dao. It was vague, yet very awe-inspiring, involving the cycle of heaven and earth, the evolution of all living beings, the cause and effect of past, present, and future lives, as if turning a page of an ancient history book.

He never imagined that the dazzling divine ring formed by the ten star grottoes contained so many secrets and elements, sparking endless imagination.

When Shi Yi opened his eyes again, two brilliant beams of light burst forth, leaving two bottomless holes in the earth.

This is a manifestation of enlightenment, meaning that Shi Yi has gained a great deal.

He stood up and stood at the very center of the dazzling divine ring. With a thought, the divine ring rose into the air and reached the highest point, its brilliant light instantly illuminating the earth.

Shi Yi's eyes shone with a precious light, within which large stars rose and fell, and a terrifying scene of the universe collapsing appeared, reaching the extreme of depth.

He regarded the divine halo as a guiding light, hoping it would illuminate his path in the dark world and allow him to see further.

This is the result of Shi Yi's enlightenment. He is certain that there are things above the Ten Cave Heavens. Whether they are Cave Heavens or not, he does not know. However, once he opens them, he will gain infinite secret power, surpass his current extreme realm, and enter another realm.

From the perspective of the double pupils, the divine halo was brilliant, illuminating the void. In the darkness, it seemed that a vast ocean stretched across the Ten Caves, separating that mysterious area from Shi Yi.

Shi Yi narrowed his eyes, his immense pupil power spreading out as he strained his eyes to see clearly what was above the Ten Heavens.

However, even though his eyes were sore from looking at it, he still had no clue what to do.

Shi Yi closed his eyes slightly and put away the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven; he was in no hurry.

Compared to the tangible path of merging the ten grotto heavens into one, the path he chose was too ethereal and even somewhat unrealistic. If others knew that he was going to open up a path above the grotto heavens to lead to the so-called mysterious region, they would probably laugh their heads off and think he was crazy.

However, Shi Yi firmly believes that this is the most suitable path for him. When his spiritual light traveled through the starry sky, he saw many secrets, which was not just something Shi Yi made up out of thin air.

After resting for a while, Shi Yi released the Starry Sky Ring again, which acted as a lighthouse in the dim light. He then sat cross-legged under the lighthouse and continued to sense the things above the cave.

This is destined to be a process that cannot be accomplished overnight; it will require a great deal of time.

Shi Yi seemed to be petrified, rooted to the tenth level of the Path to Heaven. He used every method at his disposal, including sacred medicines and ancient pills, all in an effort to sense that ethereal world.

If his world and that world are connected, if there is a medium between them, then it must be cause and effect, it must be fate...

A month later, Shi Yi heard the faint sound of waves, as if a vast ocean was lapping against the coastline.

Two months later, the sound of the waves became more and more obvious and could be heard very clearly.

Three months later, the sound was deafening, as if it were right in front of him. But when Shi Yi looked up at the sky and activated his double pupils to the limit, he could see nothing at all, only a blank screen.

The sound of the waves was so violent and so grand, yet there was no ocean in sight; it was truly strange.

Shi Yi could only continue trying.

Finally, five months later, he activated his double pupils and saw the ethereal, invisible ripples of the Great Dao in the void, which were very regular and in rhythm with the sound of the waves.

Chapter 88 A Leap to the Extreme

Shi Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of energy. Five months of arduous training had not been wasted; he had finally sensed that ethereal and mysterious area.

It truly exists, but it doesn't belong to this space-time. An unimaginable force of order lies there, separating it from the present world.

Even though Shi Yi relied on the light of his essence, energy, and spirit to travel through the starry sky and comprehend many of the great principles of the world, and glimpsed the mysterious area above the cave heaven, he still had to use every means at his disposal and spend five months to initially sense the existence of that area.

This shows just how difficult this road is.

To achieve what we have today, opportunity, cause and effect, and foundation are all indispensable. In this process, the role of double pupils is beyond imagination and irreplaceable.

If it were any other living being, even if they sat there until the end of time, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, they would still not be able to sense it in the Cave Heaven Realm.

If they cannot sense it in the Cave Heaven Realm, then they will never be able to embark on this path.

To communicate with mysterious regions and obtain supreme secret power, one should begin at the Cave Heaven Realm.

What is a grotto-heaven?

Cultivators can create an immortal passage, a pure land, or a world within or outside the human body to communicate with the external world, absorb the essence of the universe, comprehend the true meaning of Dao talismans, and understand the order and rules of this world.

Ultimately, it is a channel connecting the human body to the outside world.

Shi Yi's cave heaven is a unique and vast starry sky, with ten incomparably majestic stars forming a dazzling star ring, creating an indescribable passage. It was through this passage that Shi Yi was fortunate enough to glimpse the forbidden area above the cave heaven.

Over the next month, Shi Yi did everything he could to try to break down the barriers and connect with that mysterious place.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make the vast ocean above the cave appear.

To date, he has spent a full six months.

Shi Yi is eight and a half years old, but he is still stuck in the same place. If he doesn't break through that barrier, the past six months will have been wasted.

This is a situation that Shi Yi cannot accept, and he cannot give up either.

At the end of the Heavenly Land, in the small world containing the tenth level, Shi Yi looked thoughtful, his double pupils shining brightly, with countless symbols arranged and flashing.

He was exploring all sorts of possibilities. He was willing to try any method that would allow him to glimpse the forbidden area and obtain supreme secret power, even if it came at a terrible price.

After a long while, a sharp glint flashed in Shi Yi's eyes. Through tireless efforts, he had found a method with a very high probability of success.

However, you only get one chance; if you don't succeed, you'll never succeed again.

Shi Yi took a deep breath. For him, having a chance to succeed was already good enough; he had no right to ask for anything more.

Success or failure depends on this desperate leap.

He stopped sitting idly and began preparing for his impending leap.

Ancient pills, sacred medicines, secret techniques, symbols... all were within Shi Yi's preparations. At the same time, he opened the long-sealed power, allowing the Supreme Bone, which had already given birth to the light of heavenly tribulation, to reappear in the world.

Shi Yi not only fed the Supreme Bone with a large amount of essence and divine light, but also relied on his understanding of the celestial tribulation light to arrange and inscribe one mysterious Dao symbol after another within the Supreme Bone.

His double pupils shifted as he attempted to completely control this extraordinary bone, the supreme figure seated within it, and the vast power of order.

This is not a fusion, but rather a forceful takeover of the Supreme Bone by relying on its incomparably powerful pupil energy, enabling Shi Yi to play a significant role when it is needed.

This process was not easy; it took several months to achieve the result Shi Yi wanted.

"call!"

As Shi Yi, who was about to turn nine, let out a soft breath. He had paid a heavy price to bridge the gap between the real world and that ethereal realm.

If he hadn't stayed here and had chosen to advance rapidly, he would probably have reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm in almost a year.

Was it worth it? Shi Yi thought it was. Even if he failed in the end, at least he had fought for it and would have no regrets.

Looking back, he gathered his essence and spirit, roamed the Starry Sky Ring, and glimpsed the existence of that forbidden area. Using the Starry Sky Ring as a guiding light, he found the exact path in the endless darkness, heard the faint sound of waves, and finally sensed the magnificent invisible ripples... For the final leap, he spent a great deal of energy, forcibly controlling the Supreme Bone, accumulating power, and making countless deductions.

It hasn't been easy along the way, but the time to see the results has finally come.

Success or failure, it all comes down to this.

He calmed his mind and focused his spirit, drawing in boundless vital energy from all directions, gradually pushing himself to the peak of his condition.

At this moment, all four of the purple organs exerted their power together, and a thunderous roar from the purple heart opened the curtain on the ultimate leap.

Shi Yi's heart was strong and powerful, beating violently, exerting all its strength to transport essence and blood to all parts of his body. His purple lungs contracted violently, and intense purple energy swirled between his mouth and nose, spreading in the void. His purple liver was brimming with vitality, providing Shi Yi with a massive amount of life force. In an instant, all things revived and were full of life. His purple spleen was thick, long, and harmonized yin and yang and the five elements. And his purple kidneys, which were about to be completed, rippled with water-attribute power, nourishing all things.

This was a "gap" deliberately left by Shi Yi. The five purple organs were missing only a purple kidney. Once he completed it, the five elements would be perfected, and not only would the power of the Qilin Treasure Technique reach a terrifying level, fully demonstrating the terrifying power of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, but his strength and cultivation would also undergo further transformation and improvement.

The perfect balance of the five elements, their mutual generation and restraint, and their endless cycle, would provide Shi Yi with an enhancement beyond imagination.

Now, he can evolve a purple kidney at any time if he wants, but Shi Yi wants to save the moment of evolution and sublimation during the process of breaking through the forbidden zone, turning it into a force to help him break through all obstacles.

"boom!"
