Shi Yi strode toward the depths of the Hundred Clans Battlefield.
This independent space, separate from the Desolate Region, held many opportunities.
One example was the dense Dark Forest blocking Shi Yi's path. Vast and boundless, it had existed in the Hundred Clans Battlefield since the Ancient Era and was unimaginably old.
Many aged medicinal plants grew within the forest, along with ruins left behind by ancient cultivators. Any one of these would be a tremendous opportunity for a cultivator.
Of course, opportunity came with danger. Countless native Ancient Beasts lived in the Dark Forest. Because of this world's unusual laws, they struggled to develop higher intelligence and retained their most primal ferocity.
What troubled cultivators most was not the native Ancient Beasts, but the Gray Fog shrouding the entire forest. The mist contained the power of laws that obstructed the spread of divine sense. Even powerful Formation Arrangement King Marquises suffered severely impaired vision while traversing the Dark Forest and could not see far.
Fortunately, Shi Yi possessed Double Pupils that could pierce falsehood and look straight into the essence of things. The dense fog had little effect on him, and his eyesight reached farther than even a King Marquis's.
This allowed him to sense approaching danger in advance and respond in time.
Even so, Shi Yi did not dare grow careless. He kept his Double Pupils activated to their utmost throughout his journey.
Both his eyes were filled with Great Dao Runes, interweaving and arranging themselves as they constantly performed deductions and analyzed the essence of all things.
Danger lurked everywhere in the thick fog, and Fierce Beasts hidden in the shadows could ambush him at any moment. Shi Yi scanned his surroundings as he walked.
Relying on his Double Pupils, he avoided many deadly encounters in advance.
