Chapter 2016: Chapter 77: Double Pupil Treasure Technique
"You also come from the outside?"
The words of the shabby middle-aged man startled everyone in the secret room.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but open his mouth in surprise, then scanned the crowd.
The Five Ghost Kings exchanged glances and wisely blocked their five senses, and seeing this, Yun Qi also hastily closed his five senses.
The shabby middle-aged man nodded and said:
"I come from the Zhuyan Realm..."
Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng exchanged glances, shaking their heads slightly.
They had never heard of Zhuyan Realm, but Wang Ba immediately reacted and asked:
"Is it outside the Immortal Forbidden Land or outside the Immortal Pass?"
Upon hearing these words, the shabby middle-aged man became more certain, his expression complex, tinged with a hint of confusion:
"It’s outside the Immortal Forbidden Land. At that time, the Zhuyan Realm was besieged by a large group of fierce creatures, the Domain was broken, I and some fellow cultivators managed to escape, but accidentally fell into a vortex."
"When we appeared again, we were in the wind zone of that Immortal Forbidden Land, stayed there for some years, met some Double Pupil people, accidentally destroyed a few physical bodies afterwards..."
He unconsciously raised his hand, gently pressing his left eye, his expression complex:
"Unexpectedly, these Double Pupils appeared inexplicably, so when I saw her for the first time, I immediately guessed where you came from."
With just a few words, he recounted his background, these words had been held in his heart for too long, but as a lonely outsider in a foreign land, facing the many cultivators in the Sea of Chaos Realm, even friends as close as life and death, he dared not easily reveal his origin.
Now meeting others likely from the outside like him, he couldn’t suppress his inner excitement, eagerly pouring out his story, even disregarding the unpredictability of human hearts.
Wang Ba somewhat understood the other’s current mindset.
Because he also inexplicably felt a sense of affection, clearly he had never heard of Zhuyan Realm before.
However, Yu Wuheng looked at the other’s single Double Pupil and frowned:
"You said it’s a pair, why do we only see a single Double Pupil... and as far as I know, the wind zone is vast and boundless, directionless, how did you escape and come to this Sea of Chaos Realm?"
The shabby middle-aged man wasn’t concerned about the hidden caution and vigilance in Yu Wuheng’s words, shook his head and said:
"The matter of Double Pupils, please allow me to explain later. I encountered a vortex in that wind, thinking as I entered, I would exit the same way, stepped into it, and eventually left there. When I reappeared, it was in a place of unpredictable changes, where rules were reversed, with numerous restrictions and dangers... Demonic Beast, Heavenly Disaster..."
"Sea Market?"
Upon hearing the shabby middle-aged man’s description, Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng immediately understood.
"Indeed, it was only by luck that I walked out of that Sea Market and realized where I was located was indeed Sea Market."
The shabby middle-aged man nodded and said.
Even though they had already guessed, Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng were still greatly shocked by the words of the shabby middle-aged man, having narrowly escaped many dangers:
"The Immortal Forbidden Land has a Boundary Sea Vortex that leads directly to Sea Market?"
Wang Ba recalled the scene of previously merging Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid and Immortal Blood, his heart trembled, having already suspected that Sea Market might be related to immortals, and the fact that the Immortal Forbidden Land could directly connect to Sea Market further sparked more conjectures.
Could Sea Market also be part of an immortal’s body?
However, at this moment, Wang Ba suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked:
"When we met, you said you are in danger, what did you mean?"
The shabby middle-aged man paused, then sighed lightly, touched his eye with an expression of resignation and said:
"This is what I was about to say... After entering Sea Market, I encountered every conceivable danger. As someone who unknowingly barged in, naturally it was filled with peril at every step, but fortunately, ever since I gained these Double Pupils, although my disposition has become much colder, my understanding and qualification increased significantly, and in Sea Market, I gradually unearthed the two treasure techniques hidden within these Double Pupils."
"Double Pupil Treasure Technique?"
Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng were somewhat surprised and instinctively looked at Yu Yu.
Yu Yu shook her head with confusion.
She had no idea that her eyes could contain any Double Pupil Treasure Technique. Eyes were just eyes, weren’t they?
The shabby middle-aged man continued:
"These two Double Pupil Treasure Techniques, one I called ’Probing the Mysterious’, can penetrate the origins of certain things. For example, when I see something, I can sense where it comes from, but if it exceeds my capability, there will be backlash, soul swaying, will confusion, so I dare not use it casually. The other one is what I relied on to survive in Sea Market, which I called ’One Life’. "
"One Life? Why call it One Life?"
Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng were fascinated by the description, couldn’t help but feel curious.
For the first time, the shabby middle-aged man showed a hint of hesitation and delay, but eventually, after glancing at Yu Yu, he made up his mind and said:
"This Double Pupil Treasure Technique, once executed, will split out a second me, this second me can endure various injuries for me, help me escape from many dangerous situations successfully, as long as afterwards I retrieve it, but there’s only one drawback, which is that my second self and I are interconnected in life, if one is destroyed, the other won’t survive."
This undoubtedly exposed his fatal flaw completely, but the shabby middle-aged man had no choice.
"The reason why I have only one Double Pupil now is because the ’One Life’ Double Pupil Treasure Technique has yet to be retrieved, this is also why I mentioned earlier about being in danger, I can feel that the second me is currently in deep trouble in Sea Market..."
