Chapter 297 Reunion with the Double-Pupiled Woman, Shi Yi's New Beginning!
Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Jiang Chen did not answer immediately.
He simply stared quietly at the slightly cooled cup of tea in his hand.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a few fallen leaves twirled and landed on the ground in front of the thatched house.
A moment later, Jiang Chen put the teacup back on the stone table.
You're right.
Jiang Chen looked at the master of the restricted area, his tone extremely calm:
"Although the Immortal King is said to be indestructible, that is only relative."
"Once the origin is completely destroyed, leaving only a wisp of obsession transformed into a remnant soul, it is almost impossible to reshape the true body."
"Because this violates the most basic laws of life and death in the universe."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded slightly.
He knows his own situation best.
Even during the most prosperous period of the Immortal Ancient Era, when the power of several Immortal Kings was combined, they could not save a person who was only a remnant soul.
Grandpa Jingbi and Grandpa Bird in the back exchanged a glance and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.
Even the unfathomable Primordial Immortal Lord has said so, it seems the Lord of the Forbidden Zone truly cannot return.
Then, Jiang Chen paused slightly.
His gaze remained fixed on the thatched hut as he continued speaking:
"It's not just you."
"The same goes for those three old guys inside."
As Jiang Chen finished speaking...
Suddenly, an extremely ancient fluctuation of laws arose in the dim space of the thatched hut.
Immediately afterwards, three pieces of remains exuding an eerie aura slowly floated out from the depths of the house and hovered in mid-air.
A crystal skull that is crystal clear.
A bone palm radiating an immortal golden light.
And an eyeball covered in dark gold runes, which was even dripping crimson blood.
As soon as these three pieces of remains appeared, the intertwined yin and yang energies around them trembled.
Like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, they were immortal beings who suffered calamity in the ancient era. Now, only these remnants and a wisp of immortal divine consciousness remain, hiding in this cross-shaped Yin-Yang Land, barely clinging to life.
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed slightly as he looked at his three old friends who had floated out.
"Since the Immortal Lord can see through our true nature at a glance, he must also understand our difficulties."
The master of the restricted area looked at Jiang Chen, his tone revealing a sense of helplessness:
"It's not that we are unwilling to come out of the mountains."
"Instead, they want to forcibly reunite our true spirits and reverse life and death. Only by surpassing the Immortal King and truly stepping into that legendary supreme realm can we succeed."
"Only beings at that level can ignore the backlash of this Great Dao and forcibly manipulate the river of time."
However, faced with these extremely realistic words from the master of the penalty area.
Jiang Chen simply smiled slightly.
"You don't need to test me."
Jiang Chen looked at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone without any pretense and spoke frankly:
"I'll be frank with you today: I haven't reached that legendary realm yet."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and the three pieces of remains suspended in mid-air also dimmed slightly.
But the next second, Jiang Chen's tone suddenly changed.
"Just because I didn't get there doesn't mean I won't get there in the future."
Jiang Chen slowly stood up.
He did not unleash any earth-shattering cultivation level, nor did he use any supernatural powers to exert pressure.
But just by standing there, he naturally exuded an absolute confidence that transcended all paths, as if he could trample on the past, present, and future.
"In all the heavens and myriad realms, no one can stop my path."
Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and the three pieces of remains in front of him.
"If you enter my Primordial Celestial Court..."
"I will make you a promise today."
"When I reach the pinnacle and step into the Emperor Realm one day, I will personally take action to reverse the flow of time!"
"Not only you, but also these three, I will retrieve your true spirits and restore your flawless true forms!"
Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a domineering air that implied his words were law.
Upon hearing this promise, the remnant soul of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, which had been as calm as still water, suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
The crystal skull, golden bone palm, and blood-dripping eyeballs suspended in mid-air emitted a dazzling light.
Reconstructing the true form?
If someone else had said that, they would have just taken it as a joke.
But the young man in white in front of me was different.
Standing beside him was the Ancestral Spirit, who had returned to his peak, followed by Grandpa Jingbi and Grandpa Bird.
Moreover, the aura of the Great Dao emanating from the other party, which assimilates all things, is something that these old monsters, who have lived for countless eras, have never seen before.
Maybe he really can do it!
Seeing the fluctuations in the spiritual consciousness of the group, Jiang Chen did not simply make empty promises.
He slowly raised his right hand.
"Now that we've taken you in, we won't let you just stay hiding in the restricted area forever."
Jiang Chen flicked his finger, and four extremely pure primordial primordial energies instantly flew out from his fingertip, entering the brow of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and the three pieces of remains, respectively.
"Buzz!"
The moment the Primordial Mother Qi entered his body, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone abruptly closed his eyes.
He felt that his remnant soul, which was originally on the verge of dissipating into the world at any moment, was actually stabilized by an indescribable power of creation!
Although he has not reconstructed his true form, he can now completely break free from the protection of the laws of the Cross Yin-Yang Land and walk freely in the outside world!
Furthermore, it can even briefly unleash some of the power of a Celestial King from back then, without worrying about its soul being scattered.
"this..."
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone opened his eyes, feeling the incredibly stable divine sense within his body. His usually calm face finally revealed an undisguised shock.
Is it possible to stabilize the remnant soul of an Immortal King with just a wisp of aura?
Even a legendary quasi-immortal emperor might not possess such unbelievable methods!
The crystal skull in mid-air opened and closed, making a clicking sound.
The bloodshot eyeball also rolled a few times, radiating an unprecedented vitality.
No further communication is needed.
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone adjusted the illusory white robe he was wearing.
Then, in front of everyone, he bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
In mid-air, the crystal skull, the blood-dripping eyeball, and the golden bone palm all landed on the ground, bowing slightly to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone in front of him and nodded slightly.
"It's alright."
Jiang Chen stepped forward and offered a helping hand.
"The Primordial Celestial Court doesn't care for these formalities. From now on, follow me."
Thus, the two Immortal Kings of the Void God Realm, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and these three old monsters whose strength was equally unfathomable.
All the top combat forces lying dormant in the lower realm have been completely taken over by the Primordial Celestial Court.
Jiang Chen turned around, preparing to leave this restricted area.
But in the instant he turned around, his gaze fell upon the bloodshot eyeball on the ground that had just submitted.
Looking at the eyeball covered with dark gold runes, Jiang Chen paused slightly, as if he had remembered something.
"Seeing this eyeball reminds me of someone."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Liu Shen, who was standing nearby, also came up.
Who is it?
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
"A woman with double pupils."
"Ancient woman with double pupils".
Upon hearing this title, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Liu Shen's cool eyes.
"At that time, she was the one who took away Shi Yi, who was born with double pupils."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Shi Yi was born with double pupils, which is a gift. Moreover, he is extremely deep in thought and is a rare talent."
"Since this ancient woman with double pupils and Shi Yi are both in the lower realm."
"Since we're already here, let's go see her on the way."
"Now that the Primordial Celestial Court has laid out its plans, it's not a bad thing to include a few more variables."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve, and a void portal once again formed in front of everyone.
Jiang Chen stepped in first, followed closely by Liu Shen.
The three Immortal Kings—the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, Grandpa Jingbi, and Grandpa Bird—along with the three pieces of remains, followed without hesitation.
"Whoosh."
The void closed, and the portal disappeared.
Only those exotic flowers and plants remained, swaying in the wind.
And ten feet away from that empty thatched hut.
The Asura God King, who was suppressed on the ground, remained kneeling with his ten fingers clenched into the soil.
His bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
But he dared not move at all, and even suppressed his breathing to the lowest possible level.
He had heard every word of the conversation between Jiang Chen and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
Surpassing the Celestial King.
Reversing the flow of time.
Reconstruct your true form.
Each of these words was like a heavy hammer, slamming into the forehead of this so-called Douluo God King.
As for his prized killing principles, in the eyes of others, he wasn't even qualified to be a door dog.
The Asura God King lay prone in the mud, staring blankly at the Asura Demon Sword broken in two in front of him.
He knew that even if they had left, he couldn't escape.
...
Meanwhile, in one of the eight realms below, in a remote ancient ruin.
The place is shrouded in mist, and there are ruins everywhere.
Deep within the ruins lies an ancient altar that is relatively well-preserved.
On the altar sat a woman dressed in gray.
Her face was veiled by a thin mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
But what's most unsettling is her eyes.
Those eyes contained two overlapping pupils, seemingly holding within them a chaotic scene from the creation of the world.
An ancient woman with double pupils.
At this moment, the gray-clad woman, who had been sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation for no apparent reason.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and two terrifying beams of light shot out from her double pupils, piercing directly through the void before her.
"What's going on...?"
The woman with double pupils frowned slightly.
As an ancient being who survived from the ancient era, she has an extremely keen perception of causal energy.
Just a moment ago, she clearly felt an immense, unknown force of cause and effect that made her soul tremble, directly locking onto the area where she was located.
Deep within the ancient ruins, the woman in gray suddenly stood up.
Chaos churned within her overlapping pupils as she stared intently at the void before her, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Senior, what happened?"
Not far away, beneath the broken wall, a boy sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.
The boy's face was calm, and even when he asked a question, his tone revealed a composure beyond his years.
Most notably, he also possesses a pair of double pupils.
Shi Yi.
Since being rescued by this ancient woman with double pupils, he has remained in this ruin to rebuild his physical body and devote himself to arduous cultivation.
The woman in gray did not answer Shi Yi's question.
She dared not be distracted at all.
In her double pupil vision, the once stable spatial laws above the ruins now resembled a tattered cloth being carelessly crumpled, collapsing violently.
The next moment.
"Whoosh."
A void portal, completely still and without any fluctuations, formed directly above the altar.
Then, a young man in white, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, stepped out of the door.
Following him was a stunningly beautiful woman in a simple dress, three casually dressed old men, and three pieces of wreckage floating in mid-air.
Despite not feeling any pressure from the sudden intruders, the woman in gray did not lower her guard.
On the contrary, as someone born with double pupils, she has an almost intuitive sensitivity to danger.
She instinctively activated her double pupils.
Deep within her eyes, two ancient runes intertwined, as she tried to see through the origins of the people before her.
Her gaze first fell on the woman in the plain dress.
With just one glance, the scene before the woman in gray changed drastically.
That wasn't a woman at all.
It was clearly a towering willow tree that reached the heavens, with each branch supporting a vast world, and endless divine lightning flashing around the tree.
"Ancestral spirit, it's you..."
The woman in gray was greatly shocked.
She quickly shifted her gaze to the three old men behind her.
This time, she saw three enormous, towering phantoms, their feet treading on the Milky Way, their heads reaching the heavens, and their bodies radiating an unparalleled divine might that suppressed countless ages.
Celestial Kings! And there are three of them!
The woman in gray's breathing became completely disordered.
Where did this terrifying lineup come from? The Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit is actually walking with three Celestial Kings?
With utter shock, the woman in gray finally turned her gaze to the young man in white who was walking at the front.
She wanted to see what kind of being could walk ahead of the ancestral spirit and the three immortal kings.
She pushed the power of her double pupils to its limit.
However, the moment her gaze fell upon Jiang Chen, her double pupils revealed an absolute void.
"Immortal Lord!"
The woman with double pupils exclaimed in surprise; she hadn't expected this being to descend once again.
"ah!"
Upon closer inspection, the woman in gray suddenly let out a painful groan and abruptly closed her eyes.
Two shocking lines of blood flowed directly down her cheeks and dripped onto her gray clothes.
She stumbled back three steps, her body swaying, and she almost fell to the ground.
Do not look directly at it!
Unpredictable!
Even the ancient double pupils, which are said to be able to see through all the illusions of the world, suffered a backlash from the Great Dao the moment they tried to peer into the white-robed youth.
"senior!"
Upon seeing this, Shi Yi immediately flew forward and supported the gray-clad woman's arm.
A storm raged in Shi Yi's heart.
He knew all too well how terrifying this senior's strength was. Yet now, just a glance at the other party had caused his eyes to bleed and him to suffer severe injuries?
Jiang Chen stood in mid-air, looking down at the two people below.
"Double pupils are the path to invincibility."
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, showing no anger at the gray-clad woman's prying.
"But these eyes are far from sufficient to discern my true nature."
The woman in gray pushed Shi Yi's hand away, enduring the intense pain in her eyes, and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.
"I was unaware of the Immortal Lord's arrival and presumptuously used my pupil technique. I thank the Immortal Lord for showing mercy."
