Double Pupils Shatter Illusions! Traces of Immortal Island Appear!

Since they had decided to travel together, no one lingered any longer.

Four streaks of light shot up into the sky, leaving the nameless desolate island behind as they sped deep into the East Sea.

The sea and sky merged into one hue, with azure waves stretching endlessly.

The East Sea was vast—so vast that it was easy to lose all sense of direction.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but water, occasionally broken by a few enormous sea beasts leaping above the surface, stirring up towering waves.

Several days passed in a row.

Everyone flew aimlessly over the sea.

Ye Xuan took the lead, occasionally activating his Heavy Pupils to scan the waters below.

Bixiao was not one to endure boredom; after flying for a while, she grew restless and sidled up to Ye Xuan, staring at his eyes like a curious child.

"Daoist Ye."

Bixiao blinked her big eyes. "I've wanted to ask for a while now—why are your eyes different from ordinary people's?"

"Every time I see you channel your energy, your pupils split into two. And inside, they're hazy and gray, as if hiding something."

"Is this some kind of special divine ability?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan slowed his flying speed and turned his head to look at Bixiao.

He pointed at his own eyes and smiled. "These are the Heavy Pupils."

"I was born with them."

"There's nothing particularly special about them. It's probably just..."

Ye Xuan deliberately paused, his tone turning a bit teasing.

"Probably just to let me see things more clearly than others. After all, with two pupils, everything should be twice as clear, right?"

"Pfft."

Qiong Xiao beside him couldn't hold back, letting out a very soft laugh.

Her usually cool and distant brows curved slightly, clearly amused by Ye Xuan's clumsy explanation.

Two pupils meant twice the clarity?

If someone had a hundred pupils, would they become a hundred-eyed monster?

Bixiao rolled her eyes as well, pouting. "Tch! If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. Don't try to fool me."

"I've heard Master say that in ancient times, some beings were born with unusual features. Those with Heavy Pupils were often accompanied by great terror. I can tell your eyes are definitely not that simple."

Even as she said this, Bixiao didn't press further.

Everyone had their own trump cards and secrets. Among cultivators, it was best to stop at the right point.

Ye Xuan smiled and didn't elaborate.

The mysteries of the Chaos Heavy Pupils—if he truly tried to explain them, it would probably take three days and three nights and still not be finished.

The group continued onward.

Another half day passed.

The sea ahead grew increasingly calm.

The water here showed a deep, ink-blue hue, with no waves at all. Even the wind seemed to have come to a standstill upon reaching this place.

No birds flew in the sky, and no fish swam in the sea.

A complete dead silence.

But aside from that, there was nothing particularly unusual.

The concentration of spiritual energy was no different from the surrounding area, and when Divine Sense swept over it, it found nothing but emptiness.

The Three Xiāo Fairies paid it no mind, taking it for just a remote stretch of sea, and prepared to fly directly over it on their auspicious clouds.

However.

Just as Ye Xuan flew into the airspace above this sea region—

"Hum!"

Without any warning.

A scorching heat suddenly surged from Ye Xuan's eyes.

The Chaos Heavy Pupils, which had been lying dormant deep in his eye sockets, began to operate uncontrollably on their own.

His originally clear, black-and-white pupils instantly split and overlapped.

A gray, hazy flow of Chaos Qi, like a burst dam, flooded his entire field of vision.

The world had changed.

In Ye Xuan's sight, above the sea surface that had appeared completely empty, an extremely faint thread now appeared.

It was not a line of spiritual power, nor was it the pattern of a formation.

That is...

A trace of Space Fold!

If one did not look carefully, they would never notice that subtle crease.

And behind that crease, an ancient, vast aura faintly seeped through, a chaotic breath utterly incompatible with the present-day Primordial Wilderness.

"Found it!"

Ye Xuan's heart suddenly leaped.

This aura—no mistake!

It was definitely a Small World evolved from a Chaos Fragment!

"Three Fairies, wait a moment!"

Ye Xuan abruptly halted his form, hovering in midair, his voice carrying a barely concealed excitement.

The Three Xiāo Fairies, who had been about to accelerate past, stopped upon hearing this.

"What's wrong?"

Bixiao turned her head, looking around blankly.

"Daoist Ye, are you tired from flying and want to rest?"

Yun Xiao also released her Divine Sense. At the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, her spiritual perception spread like liquid mercury, instantly covering a radius of ten thousand li of sea.

Yet, in her detection, there was nothing here but a stretch of dead water.

No formation fluctuations, no abnormal spiritual energy, not even a single sea demon.

"Daoist, this place has thin spiritual energy and no anomalies?"

Yun Xiao withdrew her Divine Sense, looking at Ye Xuan with some confusion.

Qiong Xiao also cast a questioning glance.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath. The Chaos Qi in his eyes did not dissipate; instead, it grew denser.

He stared fixedly at that point in the void, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up into an extremely confident smile.

He raised his hand, pointing at the sea surface that appeared empty to ordinary eyes.

"Some things cannot be seen with the naked eye."

"Even Divine Sense can be deceived."

Ye Xuan turned his head, looking at the three fairies who were utterly perplexed, and pointed at his own Dual Pupils.

"But in these eyes of mine, it has nowhere to hide!"

Then, Ye Xuan stood suspended in the void. That pair of divine Dual Pupils locked firmly onto the seemingly empty node ahead.

In his eyes, it was not blank but a dead knot woven from countless complex Dao patterns—the only flaw in the entire Concealment Formation.

"Open!"

Ye Xuan let out a low shout.

Without any superfluous movement, the overlapping pupils in his eye sockets suddenly contracted, then reversed.

Two gray, hazy Chaos Divine Lights, like swords that could split heaven and open earth, instantly shot forth from his eyes.

These two beams did not spread out but condensed to the extreme, carrying the supreme true intent of decomposing all things and reverting to chaos, striking directly at that spatial node.

"Boom!"

A dull, thunderous roar exploded in everyone's ears.

The originally calm sea instantly churned into towering waves ten thousand zhang high.

The void struck by the Chaos Divine Light shattered like a mirror hit by a heavy hammer, emitting a crisp cracking sound.

Countless spatial fragments peeled away, revealing the true scene hidden behind.

It was a surging expanse of gray mist.

Within the mist, earth, water, fire, and wind rampaged wildly. Countless ancient runes sank and rose, born and extinguished.

A terrifying aura that made even a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's heart tremble poured out from the gap.

This was no ordinary sea region—it was clearly a Deadly Ferocious Formation capable of killing a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

"This is..."

Yun Xiao Fairy's Beautiful Eyes widened. The usually composed woman could not help but cry out in shock.

"An Innate Chaos Great Formation?!"

The formation was perfectly natural, without a trace of artificial refinement—clearly a primordial object that had existed since the beginning of Heaven Splitting and Earth Opening.

In the Primordial Wilderness, only the most supreme Blessed Lands were guarded by such Primordial Formations.

"It really is the Three Immortal Islands!"

Bixiao was so excited she nearly jumped, gripping the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors tightly in her hand, her big eyes brimming with exhilaration.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, we searched for thousands of years and never found it—who'd have thought it was really hidden here!"

Qiong Xiao's breath quickened as well, her gaze burning as she stared at the churning chaotic mist.

The legendary Three Immortal Islands Overseas—a place of opportunity that could stir even a Sage's heart.

"Don't celebrate too soon."

Yun Xiao quickly calmed herself, her expression grave as she looked at the great formation.

"This is a Primordial Formation. Though Daoist Ye has located it, the formation's power is boundless, concealing chaotic killing intent within. Even if a Quasi-Saint Great Power came, if they didn't understand the formation's principles and forced their way in, they'd likely shed a layer of skin."

At these words, Bi Xiao's little face instantly fell.

If they had a mountain of treasure before them but couldn't enter, that would be worse than death itself.
