Ancient Female Double-Pupil

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Ancient Era

As a child, Zhen Mi obtained an incomplete inheritance for cultivating double-pupil power. It was confirmed to exceed True Immortal-level arts, although Xiao Tian’s suggestion that it originated from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor—possibly the Footprint Emperor—remained speculation 379.

She became an undefeated prodigy of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and was celebrated as their greatest beauty. Her victories helped establish double pupils as a symbol of invincibility. She cultivated one strand of immortal qi without entering the Immortal Ancient Ruins Realm, but abandoned an attempt at a second after sensing that it would bring a terrible calamity 166 215 307 315.

During the Foreign Realm’s ancient invasion, fighting shifted into the Hundred Broken Mountains’ small world to prevent the Lower Realm’s destruction. She battled the reborn Pu Demon Tree, later identified as a remnant of the Foreign Realm’s Pu Demon King. The encounter left her critically wounded; Xiao Tian later credited her intervention with saving the Lower Realm 89 258 317.

Slumber and Awakening

She sheltered in Heaven Mending Pavilion’s Ancient Sacred Academy and slept for more than thirty thousand years. Shi Yi’s arrival awakened her because he was another bearer of double pupils 89.

During her disappearance, the Zhen Family was exterminated despite having an Enlightenment Realm ancestor. Xiao Tian later learned that the Ning Clan and five One Escape Heavenly Venerables had participated, and promised to identify everyone responsible 323.

Appearance

• Youthful face: Appears approximately sixteen despite her actual age. Her initial weariness disappeared after she completed self-slaying 90 166.
• Hair: Initially wore waist-length black hair; later adopted a high, cloudlike Void-Riding Bun adorned with a hairpin 88 166.
• Eyes: Usually appear clear and ordinary. When activated, her pupils divide and display yin–yang patterns, divine light, stars, and chaos qi 89 90 114.
• Features: Fair, jade-like skin, gently curved brows, a slender waist, and an elegant bearing; she wears neither rouge nor powder 166 316.
• Clothing: Appears in gray robes, pale-yellow gowns, blue-green robes, and an azure wide-sleeved immortal skirt. Later wears immortal gold armor in battle 88 112 166 180 399.
• Accessories: Uses a blue-green paper parasol during her visit to the Kunpeng Lair 112.

Personality

Initially aloof and weighed down by the passage of ages, Zhen Mi becomes noticeably livelier after self-slaying. Her renewed disposition is mischievous, clever, and quick-witted: she teases Xiao Tian, challenges his confidence, and retaliates when his behavior irritates her 90 158 166.

She values talent without ignoring character. Although she protects Shi Yi because double-pupil bearers are exceptionally rare, she does not accept him as a direct disciple. Her advice to Xiao Tian likewise places sound cultivation foundations above their personal agreement, allowing him a thousand years rather than demanding that he rush 89 115 166.

Her battlefield manner is forceful and uncompromising, contrasting with the tenderness she shows Xiao Tian in private. She accepts him as her husband but initially refuses a public marriage announcement 170 323 387 399.

Abilities & Skills

Double Pupils

Her innate eyes combine perception, destructive power, and control over yin and yang 90 114.

Mind Reading and Spiritual Tracking

She can hear another person’s thoughts through Mind Reading, but Xiao Tian repeatedly blocks her access 89 166 316.

Chaos Killing Arrays

The Group-Character Secret greatly improves her formation comprehension. She combines formations with her double pupils rather than relying solely on externally arranged arrays 168 258.

• Her Ninth Killing Array can normally trap an Escape One Heavenly Venerable at minor attainment for a breath 323.
• She aims to inscribe all ten great Chaos Killing Arrays within her eyes. The projected Quasi-Immortal Emperor potential is a future possibility, not an attained realm; the process is explicitly described as extremely dangerous 340.

Spatial Techniques

• Sixteen-Foot Golden Body: Complements her visualization practice and helps bring her physique to half-step Supreme level 387.
• Double-Pupil Bird manifestation: Appears behind her when she fully releases her physical power, increasing its strength by a minor realm 399.
• Foundation refinement: Revisits the Blood Moving Realm’s extreme limits while remaining at Enlightenment perfection 377.
• Dual cultivation paths: Studies the Current Era Method alongside the Immortal Ancient Method 340 416 506.
• Immortal qi limitation: Possesses one strand and later regrets not cultivating three, motivating her to deepen her foundations 307 377.

Other Treasure Arts

• Butian Technique and Butian Hand: Teaches cultivation imprints to Xiao Tian, Shi Hao, and Huo Ling’er; uses the Butian Hand in battle 89 114.
• Kun Peng Precious Technique: Gains the complete inheritance through the Female Kunpeng’s opportunity, together with true-blood baptism 166 316.
• True Dragon Treasure Technique: Initially knows only isolated moves; Xiao Tian later teaches her the complete technique 166 167.
• Qilin Precious Technique: Among her known high-level arts; later recovers an additional Qilin legacy 118 384.
• Immortal-flower technique: Creates rapidly growing flowers that absorb Xiao Tian’s waves as nourishment; his cold wind subsequently destroys them 114.
