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

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly as he memorized this peerless secret technique deep in his heart.

He closed his eyes and quietly comprehended the profound mystery of the perfect and flawless Heaven-Mending Technique.

Forcibly changing the course of the battle, rewriting the unfavorable outcome, and starting all over again, like mending a broken mirror, or going back along the river of time, is truly defying the heavens.

For beings who master this secret technique, the cost of trial and error will be greatly increased.

However, it is not omnipotent. It cannot make a cultivator's combat power soar. It only provides a cultivator with an opportunity to rewrite the outcome. If they encounter a more powerful Dao or are crushed by a cultivator of a higher realm, the Heaven-Mending Technique will be powerless to reverse the situation.

Chapter 104 Perfection

After a long while, Shi Yi opened his eyes, and an extremely dazzling beam of light shot up from his body, suppressing everything, as if it could seal off the Heavenly Cave.

A special rule and power swirled around his body, formless and intangible, yet capable of influencing the outcome and giving him another chance.

This is the ultimate secret of the Flawless Heaven-Mending Technique, utterly defying the heavens.

To others, this secret technique might seem unbelievable, a bug-level existence that defies the saying "there's no going back," and is simply unsolvable.

However, in Shi Yi's view, everything about the Heaven-Mending Technique is traceable, which is of great significance to him and is as valuable as the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique, or even more precious.

The reason is simple: Shi Yi broke through the forbidden gate and connected to the forbidden sea of ​​suffering by using the Starry Divine Ring and sacrificing the Supreme Bone.

That vast ocean contains the power of destiny, cause and effect, and time. It breaks through the shackles and connects to the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, giving Shi Yi many mysterious abilities and a rudimentary understanding of time, cause and effect, and destiny.

Specifically, this manifests as: seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, gaining a certain degree of favor from fate, breaking free from others' locks during major battles, erasing one's own traces, and concealing one's aura...

These abilities may seem weak offensively and have no substantial impact on Shi Yi's strength, but in reality, they greatly enhance Shi Yi's survivability, help him take the initiative, and prevent him from being so passive in many aspects, making them extremely useful.

However, since opening the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, Shi Yi's skills in these areas have stagnated, and he has not made much progress.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that these great principles were too ethereal and unattainable.

The great Dao of time is alright, but cause and effect, destiny are very mysterious, hazy and unclear, making them hard to fathom.

Now, the emergence of the Heaven-Mending Technique has allowed Shi Yi to see other scenery on this path. In essence, the Heaven-Mending Technique is a fusion of the Great Dao of Time, the Dao of Destiny, and the Dao of Cause and Effect. The being who created this technique must have extraordinary attainments in these aspects; otherwise, such a heaven-defying secret technique could not have appeared in the world.

There are quite a few beings who have mastered this technique. In the Upper Realm, there is a Heaven-Mending Sect, and any Heaven-Mending Sect cultivator with decent talent should be able to use it.

However, even a sect leader's application and comprehension of this secret technique is not as good as Shi Yi's at the Inscription Realm.

He opened the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, possessing several sources of power that truly drive the Heaven-Mending Technique, destined to go further than others.

Shi Yi looked down at a broken stone pillar at his feet and, without warning, cleaved it in two.

The next moment, he stretched out his palm and released the light of the Heaven-Mending Technique.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling, blinding light enveloped the broken stone pillar, which was now in two pieces. In that instant, the world seemed to freeze in time, creating a beautiful scene.

"Crack!"

A cracking sound rang out, and an inexplicable force tore the scroll apart. When the broken stone pillar was looked at again, it had been restored to its original state. There was no trace of the break at the cut, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

This is the power of the Heaven-Mending Technique. In Shi Yi's hands, it unleashed its true might, not only mending its own fate but also influencing the things around it.

The legend of "mending the sky" is no longer just a myth, but a possibility that could actually be realized.

At this moment, Shi Yi really wanted to meet the creator of this heaven-defying secret technique. They were definitely kindred spirits. However, Shi Yi had just started, while the creator of the Heaven-Mending Technique had already achieved something.

"Once I get to the Upper Realm, I must visit the Heaven-Mending Sect. Above the Nine Heavens, there is also the Heaven-Mending Dao..." Shi Yi muttered to himself, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He then put away his Sky-Mending Technique and continued exploring the ruins of the Sky-Mending Sect.

Soon, Shi Yi found some inscriptions left by the cultivators of the Heaven-Mending Sect on their deathbeds. Some were their last thoughts, while others were secret techniques they did not want to be lost. However, compared to the Flawless Heaven-Mending Technique and the various methods Shi Yi had mastered, these secret techniques seemed dispensable.

He then came to the alchemy site of the Patching Heaven Sect. This was an important ancient sect site, well-preserved, and the best-preserved area in the entire Patching Heaven Sect ruins.

Shi Yi scanned the area with his double pupils, and only after confirming that he had not found anything unusual or dangerous did he step into the alchemy room.

As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of the ocean tides, as if a vast and magnificent ocean was roaring.

Shi Yi's face showed surprise, because all the noise came from an antique-looking alchemy furnace.

It was very tall, about ten feet high, making Shi Yi's figure appear small in comparison.

At this moment, inside the alchemy furnace, the sound of surging waves was like a constant assault on the furnace.

"Bang!"

The furnace lid was flung open by a tremendous force, revealing a crack through which intense golden light burst forth, as if a golden sun was being forged.

Shi Yi's expression was a little strange when he saw this, but he quickly returned to normal.

Previously, he had received the baptism of half a pool of Vajra Liquid in the eighteenth region of the ruined Buddhist kingdom, and possessed a physical body cave. His already incomparably powerful physical body was further enhanced, and he cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body. Unexpectedly, in the alchemy room of the ruins of the Patching Heaven Sect, he saw another body-refining divine liquid that was on par with the Vajra Liquid of the Western Heaven Sect - the Golden Body Liquid.

This body-refining elixir has always been under the control of the Heaven-Mending Sect, which possesses the formula for its preparation and produces it continuously.

However, even in the Upper Realm, this body-refining elixir is limited, not inexhaustible, because the raw materials are very demanding; if even one is missing, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Only a saintess like Yuechan from the Patching Heaven Sect could continuously enjoy the baptism of the Golden Body Liquid, refining her physical body to the point where she could rival Shi Hao.

Having obtained the precious liquid, Shi Yi naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. He directly packed up the alchemy furnace and a batch of Golden Body Liquid and took them away, storing them in his storage space.

Currently, he has just achieved the Vajra Indestructible Body, so using the Golden Body Elixir immediately afterward would greatly reduce its effectiveness.

The best method is to refine away the gold and various patterns inside the body, restore the original color, then use the Golden Body Liquid to refine the indestructible golden body, and then repeat this process to refine away the external manifestations of the indestructible golden body.

Repeated training greatly benefits physical strength.

After receiving the Golden Body Elixir, Shi Yi wandered around other places. Unfortunately, the Scripture Pavilion and the Medicine Garden were destroyed in the great battle. Even if they had extraordinary resources back then, they were probably taken away by the founder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and used for the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

It is already extremely rare for him to obtain such a large batch of the Golden Body Elixir.

Having explored the entire ruins of the Butian Sect without any significant gains, Shi Yi once again triggered a mysterious mark, gaining insight into the Great Dao.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi slowly woke up.

Looking at the desolate ruins of the Patching Heaven Sect, he knew there were no more opportunities here, and it was time to leave.

However, when he wanted to leave and continue on his way, he discovered that the ancient road had come to an end. It was originally a road carved out by the founder of the Patching Heaven Pavilion, and naturally it started from the ruins of the Patching Heaven Sect.

Next, Shi Yi faced two choices: one was to return the way he came, which was the safest route, and the other was to continue exploring.

The Ancient Holy Academy is a world unto itself, vast and cannot be explored in a month, two months, or even a year or two.

Shi Yi chose the latter without hesitation. He had not yet achieved the ultimate goal of this trip—to find the ancient woman with double pupils—so how could he go back like this?

If Shi Yi from the original novel has been found, there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to find him.

However, the difference between him and Shi Yi in the original work is that the latter's success was unintentional, while he came with a specific purpose.

The two are very different, which could very well lead to Shi Yi making a mistake by accident.

This is no joke. Since Shi Yi came into this world, many things about him have changed. The course of history has been altered, and it's hard to explain.

After much deliberation, he decided to use the power bestowed upon him by the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, which meant he was favored by fate to a certain extent, or perhaps he could say he could avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the sound of the forbidden sea of ​​suffering emanated from the starry halo above his head.

In the darkness, the power of fate guided him forward, leading him in one direction. Shi Yi was immersed in this special state, carefully sensing his surroundings, his steps never faltering.

During this process, he will encounter many major roads that are separate from the ancient road. Shi Yi will make a judgment. If it is dangerous, he will assess it first to decide whether to enter and explore. If it is not dangerous, he will step in without hesitation.

Three months passed quickly, and Shi Yi was now twelve years and nine months old.

During this period, he explored more than a dozen regions and gained a great deal, obtaining many extraordinary artifacts, such as a broken feather fan made from the original feathers of five divine birds.

If Shi Yi wasn't mistaken, this was the famous weapon of war from ancient times—the Five Animal Fan. With a gentle wave, it could turn mountains and rivers into ashes and evaporate a thousand-mile-long river.

The power of this treasure is beyond doubt. However, what is most remarkable about it is its other aspects. If it is properly refined, it can create its own small world with endless divine power. When used, it does not require the holder to expend magical power to activate it. This is the most heaven-defying aspect.

The feather fan in Shi Yi's hand, ravaged by the ancient war, has lost its former unparalleled splendor. It is severely damaged and only about half of its peak condition remains.

Even so, its power is still terrifying.

For example, there was a golden Dao bell, its surface wreathed in golden flames, extremely powerful...

At the same time, Shi Yi also received some inheritances. However, he was not proficient in them, which was a great taboo. He had no intention of using these inheritances to replace the precious techniques of his Ten Caves Heaven.

In addition, there were many other places of opportunity, including those where the sages had shared their insights and where there were abundant divine essence and Dao patterns. Shi Yi did not miss any of them.

He continuously inscribed the most suitable Dao patterns within his body, intricate and far beyond the imagination of other beings of the same realm.

These terrifying double pupils, having experienced so many insights from the sages, have a level of understanding of patterns and symbols that far surpasses the level expected of the Inscription Realm, penetrating the surface and reaching the essence.

This is why Shi Yi's progress and transformation have exceeded all limits, and every step he has taken has been incredibly solid.

Three months of spiritual practice is equivalent to several years of arduous training for others.

His cultivation level has also advanced from the mid-stage of inscription to the late-stage of inscription, just one step away from perfection.

"Boom!"

A few days later, in a major area, a terrifying tremor came from the bottom of a dried-up pool.

After consuming a pool of divine liquid, Shi Yi, who was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, finally broke through the current shackles and entered a completely new realm.

He reached the pinnacle of the Inscription Realm. A boy who was just a few months shy of turning thirteen had reached the top of the Inscription Realm. With a vision and understanding far beyond this field, he inscribed the most perfect patterns and symbols in his body under the current circumstances, releasing his potential and divine power, and unleashing astonishing strength. This was simply unimaginable.

At this moment, Shi Yi's bones, flesh, and skin were all covered with Dao patterns, accompanied by mysterious human symbols. His aura was unified and condensed into one, extremely powerful, surpassing the limit of the Inscription Realm.

Not only his physical body, but also his ten star-shaped grottoes were covered with symbols and patterns. Ten large stars stretched across the sky, shining brightly and extremely brilliantly. The ancient beasts and treasure books lurking on the stars were more agile and terrifying than before.

With just a little more consolidation, Shi Yi can begin his attempt to reach the next realm—Formation.

If things go quickly, a thirteen-year-old king may very well appear in the lower realm.

"The Inscription Realm, there should still be a way forward. This is not the end," Shi Yi murmured to himself.

Although he used his understanding of inscriptions and symbols to elevate this realm to an astonishing height, reaching a state of perfection in his cultivation, he knew clearly that this was not the end.

The best way to cultivate in the Inscription Realm is to combine the bone script from the Original True Explanation with the Myriad Spirits Diagram and inscribe it into one's body. That is the very beginning of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Scripture, which has been verified over countless years. It is the most essential and original thing in this world. Inscribing it into one's body and cave has immense benefits, allowing one to return to simplicity and comprehend the original source of all laws.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi did not have the complete original true explanation, only a part of it.

However, Shi Yi is not regretful. Everyone has their own path, and they don't necessarily have to walk the same path.

He did not get up, but continued to sit cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, drawing upon the power of the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness to continue his cultivation in the Inscription Realm.

Because the concepts of cause and effect and destiny are too ethereal and elusive, Shi Yi could only use the aura descending from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering to cleanse it and let it evolve on its own.

Persistence pays off. Shi Yi's conjecture was confirmed. Half a month later, patterns and symbols related to cause and effect, fate, and time appeared in various parts of his body.

Although somewhat vague and few in number, it was a start, and their appearance brought about a dramatic change in Shi Yi's temperament.

A mist emanated from his body, blocking the detection of divine sense and sight. He was extremely mysterious, as if he had come from the distant ancient times or the future to the present world. He seemed to be the cause of all effects, yet also untouched by cause and effect, uninvolved in the five elements, and even more like a child of destiny, surrounded by sacred phenomena.

This time, Shi Yi's cultivation had reached its peak, and he was ready to enter the next major realm.

He exhaled a long breath, stood up from his seated position, and took a step, leaving the dried-up bottom of the pool.

Chapter 105 Sister

At twelve years and ten months old, he surpassed the legendary limit and reached the pinnacle of inscription.

Shi Yi's achievements are truly astonishing. Throughout history, few beings in the eight realms of the lower world have been able to achieve such a level.

If one only focuses on arduous cultivation and speed without paying attention to the foundation of one's cultivation, there is a certain possibility of success, but the cultivator will most likely be ruined and lose the hope of becoming a Rank Array King.

After all, the path of cultivation is like building with blocks; only by laying a solid foundation can one build higher and go further.

It is difficult to find a single person in ancient history who possesses both speed and an extremely strong foundation in Dao like Shi Yi.

He left the bottom of the pool, stood on the ground, stretched his body, loosened his limbs, and stepped out of this avenue area.

He had already comprehended the marks of the saints here. The greatest opportunity was the divine pool, which he had already completely consumed. There was no point in staying any longer.

As Shi Yi walked, he used the abilities bestowed upon him by the forbidden sea of ​​suffering. In the darkness, fate and karma guided him forward.

This ability has benefited him greatly throughout his journey, allowing him to avoid many dangerous places.

Every now and then, mysterious voices would ring in his ears, using all sorts of tricks to seduce and tempt him. Some creatures even tried to forcibly control his mind, but Shi Yi was prepared and guarded his mind, preventing them from succeeding.

This place is extremely close to the center of the ancient holy academy, and the danger level is rising sharply. Shi Yi had to be careful with every step he took, repeatedly using his double pupils to explore his surroundings.

Guided by fate and karma, Shi Yi bypassed several strange areas and arrived at a misty, shrouded place.

His intuition told him that the area was dangerous, but worth venturing into.

Shi Yi wouldn't miss any possible area, after all, his search for the ancient woman with double pupils was a deliberate act, and he was most afraid of unexpected twists and turns.

The fog was very thick, containing a mysterious power of rules that blocked the sight and spiritual senses of living beings, resulting in extremely low visibility in this place.
