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

Shi Yi remembered that when Shi Hao and the others were in the Medicine Capital, even with the help of divine power, they couldn't stop the double-pupiled woman's telepathic abilities, which was terrifying.

"I'm not kidding. If we examine your soul separately, we might find the answer," the woman with double pupils said with a slight smile.

Shi Yi's smile froze, but he quickly regained his composure.

"As someone who also possesses double pupils, I don't believe my sister could be so cold-hearted."

"You're sorely mistaken. It's perfectly reasonable for me to punish a junior who's prone to overthinking and offending his seniors," the woman with double pupils replied with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Shi Yi, lingering on his head for a moment as if she were really going to extract his soul to study it.

“My sister is an ancient and powerful being, a woman of great magnanimity and extraordinary character. She would not do such a thing,” Shi Yi said, shaking his head.

No matter how many years the woman with double pupils has cultivated, or how many times older she is than him, as long as she is not the kind of female cultivator who has lost her humanity, or a woman like Jin Taijun whose heart and vision are extremely narrow, praising her is definitely not wrong.

Of course, this approach has one prerequisite: your talent must be good enough to catch her eye and be something she can talk to. Otherwise, even saying a single word would be too much.

Shi Yi not only meets this condition, but also possesses double pupils, sharing the same talent as her. She naturally has the intention to mentor him, bringing them even closer in a sense. In this case, praise would be even more effective.

For Shi Yi at this stage, the woman with double pupils was a super strong tree. Without her protection, he would not have the confidence to take off his mask.

"Hehe, I must say, you have a sweet tongue. I wonder how many innocent girls you've fooled." The woman with double pupils chuckled, exuding a unique charm. She was an unparalleled beauty, breathtakingly gorgeous.

“Sister, you’ve wronged me. In the outside world, I’m practically hated by everyone. I don’t even dare to show my true face. I have to wear a mask wherever I go. Survival is a problem for me, so what else is there?” Shi Yi steered the conversation in this direction.

"Everyone is condemning him? Did he do something that angered both heaven and man?" the woman with double pupils asked with interest.

Judging from her expression and eyes, she didn't really think so; it was just a joke. Although she spent very little time with Shi Yi, it was enough for her to get to know him.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. I only obtained a heaven-defying magic technique, and I was targeted by the Venerables of the Ancient Divine Mountain. In the Void God Realm, I only held the title of a disciple of the Ancient Pure Land, broke a record, and received some rewards, but I was regarded as a thorn in the side by several ancient families."

Unfortunately, this is the law of this world: weakness is the original sin. Shi Yi shrugged and explained the situation truthfully.

“That makes a lot of sense,” the woman with double pupils agreed wholeheartedly.

She then continued, "I didn't expect you to have so much experience at such a young age, and to have come to understand so many principles. It's a bit too much for your age."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "Sister, you flatter me."

Seeing that he handled the situation with ease and showed no inferiority, the woman with double pupils couldn't help but nod in approval. At the same time, she habitually tried to probe his thoughts, but to no avail; she was unable to break through that aura.

In the past, when interacting with juniors like Shi Yi, she always looked down on them from a superior position because she possessed the unsolvable supernatural ability of telepathy, which allowed her to "listen" to the juniors' inner thoughts, leaving them with no secrets.

However, when facing Shi Yi, her supernatural power failed, giving the woman with double pupils a feeling that she had escaped her control.

"Speaking of which, you are probably the most miserable double-pupiled person. In ancient times, every double-pupiled person was treated like a treasure, and people were afraid that they would die halfway through their lives."

And you, at such a young age, have to live in anonymity and conceal your true identity.

"I left my hometown at the age of five, braved swords and shadows, and faced life-or-death situations. I still cannot return," Shi Yi sighed and said.

But he immediately changed the subject.

"If I had an ancient powerful being like my sister backing me up, my situation would be completely different."

The woman with double pupils understood Shi Yi's meaning and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"You want me to leave the Ancient Holy Academy and protect you?"

"If my sister is willing, that would be wonderful. I am deeply grateful," Shi Yi said, taking over the conversation.

The woman with double pupils smiled but remained silent as she looked at Shi Yi, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Shi Yi wasn't in a hurry. He could tell that the woman with double pupils in ancient times must have been a quirky and clever girl. Now, after years of hardship, she had become somewhat weathered, but she was still very lively. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to chat with him for so long, half-jokingly.

As fellow individuals with double pupils, the woman with double pupils must be protecting him; however, their current conversation is not formal or serious.

"Sister, you agree? It is said that double pupils can open the heavens and the earth, and there has never been a defeat in the human world since ancient times. If you were to be born, even powerful ancient divine mountains and ancient families would have to bow down and dare not act rashly." Shi Yi asked tentatively.

"Provoking me like that won't work, but you're right about one thing: those with double pupils have always been invincible among their peers, without a single defeat," the woman with double pupils replied calmly.

He then continued, “What benefits would I gain from protecting you? You should know that I was seriously injured in the ancient war and was very tired. I was hiding in this ancient holy academy to recuperate, and I haven’t fully recovered yet. Moreover, leaving the ancient holy academy is not an easy thing and will come at a considerable price.”

This place is not peaceful, as I think you've already seen along the way.

Those mortal enemies from back then still harbor resentment to this day.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi solemnly replied, "Today you protect me, and one day I will surely help my sister cross the sea of ​​suffering and break free from the darkness and depravity."

Shi Yi, who had read the original novel, knew that the woman with double pupils was imprisoned in the Ancient Hall of Guidance until much later, when Shi Hao rose to power and was rescued.

Clearly, after the woman with double pupils went to the upper realm, she must have attempted some kind of heaven-defying breakthrough, which attracted strange occurrences. In the end, she was unable to resist and was taken away by the Ancient Hall of Guidance.

The sea of ​​suffering and dark depravity he spoke of correspond precisely to this point.

Shi Yi would naturally do his best to repay the great kindness shown to him. Even if she was trapped in the Ancient Hall of Guidance, Shi Yi would find her and pull her out.

"Cross the sea of ​​suffering and break free from the darkness and depravity?" The woman with double pupils repeated the sentence, revealing a thoughtful expression. She did not look down on or despise Shi Yi because of his current level.

Shi Yi is no ordinary peak-stage Inscription Realm cultivator; even in the glorious ancient era, few could compare to him.

To put it bluntly, even the woman with double pupils would have to admit defeat, especially the forbidden sea of ​​suffering above his Starry Divine Halo, which inexplicably makes people's hearts tremble.

Who can underestimate such a groundbreaking genius?

However, the woman with double pupils couldn't imagine what it would be like to be trapped in a sea of ​​suffering and sink into darkness. Would such a day ever come? She didn't know.

These words came from Shi Yi, who had opened the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, which made her hesitate. If it had been someone else who said them, she would have simply laughed it off.

"Alright, I agree to protect you. As for the reward, we can talk about it later. Your talk about the sea of ​​suffering and the darkness of oblivion is too vague." The woman with double pupils agreed.

Shi Yi nodded: "If you need anything then, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Is that so? Remember what you said today!"

Having said that, she rose from the stone chair. Her gray clothes could not conceal her graceful figure, her black hair cascading down, and her beauty was breathtaking. In that distant ancient era, she would definitely have been a peerless beauty renowned throughout the world.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, her eyes shone brightly, the power of her double pupils vast as an ocean, containing the terrifying scene of stars rising and falling, and the universe collapsing. She had used some kind of secret technique.

Suddenly, the scenery around them changed, constantly distorting and compressing.

The majestic mountains, the babbling brooks, the stone houses, the chaotic mist, the things engraved with symbols—all changed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding scenery transformed into things commonly found in the ancient holy temple.

Shi Yi's guess was correct. The misty area was indeed the chaotic world created by the woman with double pupils, and the place where they had just been talking was a pure land created by the woman with double pupils. The things in the misty area that were set up with magic arrays were defensive measures she had set up to guard against enemies.

As the double pupils activated, all of these were put away.

"Let's go. This is not a safe place. Some vengeful spirits already know you entered. It's time to leave." The woman with double pupils had glowing eyes as she gazed in one direction, as if she had sensed something.

Shi Yi naturally had no objection and nodded to the woman with double pupils.

The next moment, the gray-clad woman's escape light enveloped Shi Yi, causing him to vanish instantly.

The surrounding scenery was changing rapidly. It could be seen that the woman with double pupils was rushing towards the entrance that Shi Yi had entered this place through.

Chapter 107 Marching into the Hundred Divisions

Before Shi Yi could react, a piercing shriek rang out from all directions, followed by a sky full of blood-red light, like tentacles baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward them.

"boom!"

The woman with double pupils made her move, unleashing the terrifying secret technique of "Double Pupils Opening the Heavens".

Her aura was so terrifying that Shi Yi, who was in the midst of her escape light, felt as insignificant as a small boat on a vast ocean.

"Crack!"

The blood-red sky was torn apart, and the woman with double pupils fought her way through, about to break through the encirclement. The next moment, an even more ear-piercing shriek came, and huge faces filled the entire sky, from the ancient saints. This scene made people's scalps tingle.

"The Ancient Holy Academy is actually this dangerous?" Shi Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"The Holy Academy was established to suppress certain things. Later, some forces plotted against us and tried to break the seal, which caused chaos in the Holy Academy and a great war that ended tragically." The woman with double pupils spoke as she fought, recounting the origins of this small world and the great war of that time.

Did those forces succeed?

The woman with double pupils shook her head: "In order to maintain the seal, the space where the Ancient Holy Academy was located was cut off by the strongest beings and became an independent small world."

She continued, "This battle was only the beginning of the ancient war. Those forces did not give up, and the flames of war continued to spread until they burned throughout the entire Eight Domains."

The power structure you see now is the post-war structure. If nothing unexpected happens, the environment, the rules of the Great Dao, and other aspects of the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm are far inferior to those of the ancient times.

The connection between the upper and lower realms is also gradually being severed; before long, the two realms will be completely cut off.

As they spoke, the countless faces of the saints in the sky opened their blood-red maws and spat out chains of order, each representing a powerful rule of the Great Dao, a vivid manifestation of their own Great Dao in life.

The chains of the saints descended, determined to imprison the woman with double pupils here and prevent her from leaving.

"During the ancient war, I was severely injured and formed karmic ties with some beings. I had no choice but to hide in this world, and this thing has been watching me ever since. It's impossible to leave without paying a price," the woman with double pupils explained.

"boom!"

An even more intense battle erupted, and she displayed the terrifying abilities of the double pupils one by one, as if she wanted to overturn the entire Ancient Holy Academy.

During this process, Shi Yi couldn't offer much help and could only be a spectator.

……

half a month later.

Deep within the Butian Pavilion, at the ruins of the ancient sacred academy's passage, before the crumbling walls.

As agreed, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion waited in front of the stone wall for Shi Yi's return.

Suddenly, a strange movement came from the ruins beside him. The void became chaotic, and many cracks appeared, like shattered porcelain.

The next moment, a pure white hand shattered the cracks, reaching out from the void and struggling to open the passage.

The woman with double pupils and Shi Yi emerged from the fragmented passage and stepped onto the ruins.

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion was slightly startled. His aura had already locked onto the woman with double pupils, and he was ready to strike with lightning speed at any moment.

Seeing that Shi Yi was safe, he was slightly relieved, but remained vigilant.

Because apart from the founder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, no living being had ever left the Ancient Sacred Academy, the sudden appearance of a strange woman with such profound and mysterious aura that even the Pavilion Master couldn't see through her was truly alarming.

Shi Yi quickly spoke up to inform the Pavilion Master that the woman with double pupils was not an enemy.

Upon learning of the double-pupiled woman's identity as an ancient powerhouse, the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion immediately withdrew his aura and bowed to her.

"Greetings, senior. I apologize for any offense I may have committed earlier." He was trembling with fear, afraid of offending the ancient powerhouse before him and creating another formidable enemy for the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. That would be disastrous.

The woman with double pupils waved her hand, not caring at all: "It's alright. I've met the patriarch of your lineage and even rested at his place once. I won't make things difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master was relieved. Knowing that she had some connection with the founder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, his attitude became even more respectful.

"Lord Pavilion Master, has Hundred Broken Mountains opened yet?" Shi Yi asked, this was the question he cared about most.

"It's been running for a while now, and based on past experience, it should be nearing the end," the Pavilion Master replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Shi Yi's eyes narrowed. The final stage meant it was almost over, and he didn't know if he could still make it.

“Mount Baiduan…” the woman with double pupils murmured, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Then, she called out to Shi Yi.

"Now that the secret realm has reached its final stage, we should not delay and set off as soon as possible."

Shi Yi nodded.

He bid farewell to the Pavilion Master, then entered the double-pupiled woman's escape light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion watched the two depart, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"With the protection of an ancient powerhouse, he should be able to remove that mask and reveal his true face, right? A peak-level inscription cultivator who is not even thirteen years old... If nothing unexpected happens, a thirteen-year-old king will soon appear in the desolate land."

"Chaos is approaching, but this is the time for the true dragon to soar and fly high in the heavens." He murmured to himself, genuinely happy for Shi Yi.

At the same time, he had many feelings in his heart.

What does it mean to be a thirteen-year-old King-ranking official? As the master of the ancient Pure Land, he was only at the King-ranking level. After cultivating for so many years, he was caught up by a thirteen-year-old junior and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. It was too dreamlike.

But the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe them. He even played the role of Shi Yi's protector for a period of time, watching Shi Yi evolve step by step to reach his current state.

In the void, the woman with double pupils carried Shi Yi at breakneck speed.

Inside the ancient sacred academy, the two encountered an unprecedented ambush. After a bitter battle lasting half a month, they finally managed to open a passage and fight their way out. By this time, the woman with double pupils was extremely exhausted and had paid a considerable price.

But in order to get Shi Yi to the Hundred Broken Mountain Secret Realm, she did not rest and set off with Shi Yi directly.

"Mount Baiduan is most likely a battlefield, just like the Ancient Holy Academy. It is very likely that something of great importance is sealed there as well," she guessed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi thought of the ancient coffin sealed in the Hundred Broken Mountains. If nothing unexpected happened, there was a corpse there. It was still uncertain what it was, but it was known that it had scales.

“What my sister said is true. Legend has it that Hundred Broken Mountains is a place where gods shed tears and saints shed blood, and where unimaginable and terrifying battles once took place,” Shi Yi said.
