Chapter 422
Ancient Dual-Pupiled Individual
Those pupils were too special. They could separate as if they were opening up heaven and earth. Fallen stars fell one after another, and chaotic energy seeped out from those eyes.
Just how profound of a cultivation realm was this? She was able to refine the dual-pupils into nothingness and merge them back into one. It would only appear when needed, displaying astonishing might.
Shi Hao’s face was full of shock, and he already lost his composure. He had never acted like this before. He was like a clay sculpture that was unable to say a single word. He stared blankly.
Ancient dual-pupiled individual?!
An undefeated individual who ran amok in this world, living from the ancient era all the way to this era?
Even though the gray-clothed woman looked tired, her body was full of vitality. It was difficult for time to cut down her aura. Her beauty was unmatched under the heavens, and her appearance was exceptional. She could be considered unmatched.
“The ancient battle was too exhausting,” the gray-clothed woman said.
He knew it!
Shi Hao felt as if great waves were striking the heavens. This woman came from the ancient era, and her identity was astonishing. If this news was spread to the outside world, it would cause a huge commotion.
After obtaining the confirmation, Shi Hao had an indescribable feeling when facing her. When he looked at her again, her every movement made it difficult for others to calm down.
The gray-clothed woman was extremely beautiful. If not for that type of tiredness, she would have looked like an intelligent young lady. She didn’t look like a senior hero who had existed forever in this world at all.
Shi Hao even felt like this woman was only a year or two older than him. She had stopped aging since her most beautiful time.
It was strange. At this moment, he didn’t feel any fear, instead, he became absent-minded. He thought of some things that had nothing to do with what was in front of him. His mind was wandering off.
The dual-pupiled individual was known to be unrivaled. During the ancient years, they fought with great fame!
Shi Hao’s mind began to spin. Did this beautiful young lady look down on the world before? She defeated many great figures of her generation, so he didn’t know if she had encountered anyone with similar strength.
His mind was somewhere else. There was no reverence in his mind, and his thoughts were scattered. He thought of many unrelated matters. Such a stunning young lady was glorious in the ancient era, and he didn’t know if she had any close friends or if she was married.
He felt that such a stunning young lady should have a young heavenly genius accompanying her back then. They would travel the world together and look down on the ancient era together.
He didn’t know just how strong that young heavenly talent had to be to be worthy of her. He shouldn’t be weaker than the dual-pupiled individual, right?
Only ancient times had already passed, so why was she the only one who stood alone in this world? What about that young heavenly talent who could walk side by side with her? Was he buried in the passage of time?
Soon after, Shi Hao broke out into a cold shiver. This absent-mindedness was ridiculous. Even he himself found it incredible. In such a situation, how could he think of these things?
Was he into gossip? He thought to himself. This was someone who was known to be undefeated in ancient times, yet he was actually distracted to this extent. He was speechless.
Perhaps it was precisely because of her incredible power that he became incomparably curious. All kinds of thoughts went through his mind.
When Shi Hao woke up, he discovered that the gray-clothed woman was looking at him with a smile. She didn’t say anything, but it was enough to make him flush.
He had a feeling that his thoughts had been seen through. This was the first time he felt so embarrassed. What was he thinking in this situation? He found himself ridiculous.
“Young man, you think too much.” The gray-clothed woman chuckled. Her laughter was penetrating, making him feel as if his thoughts had been seen through.
“Hey, something’s not right!” Shi Hao suddenly woke up. How could it be like this? He was thinking way too much, and his thoughts were too scattered.
“Are you wondering who was the one who walked side by side with me? Where did that heavenly talent end up? Why are your thoughts so complicated?” The gray-clothed woman said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
Shi Hao broke out in a cold sweat. He was now certain that he was affected by a mysterious power, causing his mind to become chaotic. The secrets in his heart had been seen through.
Mind Connection!
Almost immediately, these words appeared in his mind, making him shiver inwardly. He quickly sealed off his divine senses to protect himself, preventing his inner secrets from being exposed.
Shi Hao backed up. This woman was too powerful. When the dual-pupils appeared, it affected his mood, making him lose control of his mind.
“You’ve mastered Mind Connection?” His voice trembled slightly. Just how terrifying was this? The ability allowed one to peer into the thoughts of others, and even an ancient great figure would find it difficult to cultivate.
Shi Hao’s heart was beating wildly. He didn’t want others to see through his thoughts. Such an ability was so terrifying. How was he supposed to defend against it?!
“Don’t worry. I’m not that nosy. I happened to see you worrying about random things and found it interesting.” The gray-clothed woman smiled, carrying a different type of charm.
She was a goddess from the ancient era and was able to sweep through all enemies in that world. He was secretly speculating about her cultivation companion, yet in the end, he was caught and exposed. It was a bit strange.
“Well, I was just a bit curious,” Shi Hao said awkwardly.
The woman gazed into the horizon. The dual-pupils disappeared and merged together. The aura that affected heaven and earth slowly withdrew, making this place calm down.
Shi Hao was shocked. Those pupils had indeed affected his emotions just now. It really was terrifying!
The dual-pupils disappeared. The gray-clothed woman’s eyes were pitch-black and incomparably deep. She was actually able to merge the dual-pupils into one, which showed her mighty magical force!
“You should leave. I hope to see a true decisive battle between you and the dual-pupiled individual in the future. The winner will be decided in the most powerful battle,” The gray-clothed woman said.
It naturally wouldn’t be her who fought against Shi Hao. That would be too much of a bully.
Shi Hao was shaken. He looked at her face. In the ancient era, she was definitely a proud young lady. No genius would have been good enough for her.
“What? Are you still worrying about unimportant things?” The gray-clothed woman’s smile was extremely special.
She waved her hand, having Shi Hao leave. From start to finish, she sat by the ancient well without getting up. Only, when she looked toward the horizon, there was a bit of disappointment and frustration.
Shi Hao descended the mountain. After walking for a long time, he couldn’t help but turn around to take a look. For some reason, he blurted out, “Back then, was there a young heavenly genius who accompanied you through the world?”
The gray-clothed woman was surprised, and then she laughed. Her eyes stared into the void as if she could see through the ancient times. With a wave of her wide sleeves, she swept Shi Hao down the mountain.
Shi Hao was in an extremely sorry state as he tumbled down the mountain. He was extremely discontent and muttered, “Was there one or not?”
Then, he couldn’t help but laugh. What was going on? Why was he so gossipy and asked such a question? He should be asking about the great ancient secret.
Shi Hao shook his head. He found the mountain path and walked out.
“Over here!” The big red bird shouted.
They chased him all the way here, but they still couldn’t climb up the low mountain. There was nothing they could do. Now that they saw Shi Hao descend the mountain, they were all overjoyed.
The Mysterious Region was a great region with endless territories and outstanding heroes.
When one stood in the sky and looked down at this region, one would discover that it was completely different from the wasteland region. The mountains and rivers here were magnificent, and there was no barbaric aura.
This was especially true for the place where creatures gathered. Giant cities appeared one after another, all prosperous. Even if one stood in the sky, one could still feel the surging aura of the mortal world.
Of course, there were also strands of rich spiritual essence. There were experts overseeing the city, and they appeared in large numbers.
This great region’s cultivation level was extremely high. From a certain perspective, it could indeed overlook the wasteland region because, in the past divine-level arena battles, they had an absolute advantage over the wasteland region.
The mysterious Immortal Mountain stretched across the depths of the clouds. Immortal mist pervaded the air, faintly discernible.
Within a grand palace cast from bronze, someone was speaking softly, giving off a strange feeling. It was extremely distant as if it came from the ancient era, transcending time and space.
“That child… has half of the Immortal Mountain’s bloodline.”
“Well, but there should only be one supreme being. We already have one. Are we still going to bring him back?”
“Naturally, we have to bring them back. Even if he’s estranged from the Immortal Mountain, we still have to bring him back.”
“I fear that he might become a sacrifice in this rebirth project.”
“Everyone has an equal opportunity! I hope that during the process of searching for him, there won’t be any misunderstandings. Bring that child back peacefully. I don’t have much time left. I am going to sleep.”
…
Soon after, this bronze palace became quiet.
However, Immortal Mountain’s palace hall which represented power lit up. The lights were resplendent, and a decree was shining brilliantly. Someone had covered it with a divine imprint.
In that instant, an ancient aura pervaded the air. Then, a terrifying fluctuation surged, shaking the entire Immortal Mountain.
“Hey, what happened? Why is there such a fluctuation?”
“A supreme treasure divine imprint was added. What a terrifying decree. Why?”
The Immortal Mountain occupied a vast area. There were quite a few ancient palaces on some mountain peaks, and a few terrifying experts walked out. They all released an overflowing aura as they looked toward the palace that represented power.
“Mother, what is that?” In a valley that was like a fairyland, a teenager asked, looking into the distance.
“That’s a decree with a supreme treasure divine imprint. It can break through the region and leave. It hasn’t appeared for many years.” A beautiful woman dotingly stroked his head.
There was a man beside her. They were clearly a family. As he looked in the direction of the decree, he fell into a daze.
“Well, the precious divine imprint passed down from our ancestors! Sooner or later, I’ll make the decree with my precious imprint command the world. I am the number-one supreme being!” The teenager was full of lofty sentiments.
“All of the old ancestors like you. With your natural talents, you’ll be able to do it.” The beautiful woman smiled and said. Then, she noticed that the man was absent-minded. She couldn’t help but sigh and look toward the horizon with him.
“I want to sweep through the world and promote the Immortal Mountain’s divine technique!” The teenager was incomparably conceited. He looked like he could rule the world.
The couple couldn’t help but frown, but they didn’t say anything.
That decree carried multicolored light as it tore through the sky. It could actually penetrate the region wall that had long been sealed and leave the Mysterious Region.
Wasteland Region, Medicine Capital.
Shi Hao turned around and looked at the low mountain. That gray-clothed woman was so special that he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
“Let’s go,” the big red bird said.
“Brother Shi, you have to be careful. The Immortal Mountain and Heaven Mending Sect are both terrifying inheritances. You’ve provoked them, so it’ll be difficult for you to settle things peacefully,” Flame Crow said.
Along the way, when they discussed the ancient great powers, they couldn’t help but mention those ancient inheritances. They immediately thought of the forces Shi Hao had offended.
“I’m not scared. My path is special because of that. I don’t need those old ancestors to protect me, nor do I need their inheritances. I will fight for everything myself!”
The Nine-Headed Lion, Huo Ling’er, and Yun Xi all sighed. Strictly speaking, this fella was an abandoned child. He was originally related to some great powers, yet in the end, he ended up wandering outside.
