Unrivaled Dual-Pupils?!
Xiao Yang was overjoyed, thrilled beyond measure.
This was an Immortal King-level talent!
It was said that those born with dual pupils were destined to become emperors, sweeping across the heavens and ten directions, their names remembered through the ages.
More importantly, this was a [World-Only] attribute.
Which meant that in this era, no one else could ever obtain Dual-Pupils again.
“No. Don’t extract it yet!”
Though excited, Xiao Yang didn’t lose his reason.
If the Dual-Pupils manifested now, they would surely trigger heavenly phenomena and draw the attention of ancient powerhouses.
This wasn’t the time to attract unwanted trouble.
“Congratulations, General Ning. The Ninth Prince’s spiritual eye has been successfully fused into your body…”
At that moment, Gui Shou’s voice echoed.
The transplant procedure had ended, and it was a great success.
Everyone went up to congratulate Ning Hongye—while no one spared even a glance at Xiao Yang, the one who had sacrificed the eye.
Xiao Yang, eager to leave, turned and prepared to depart.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Ning Hongye stepped in front of him. Her gaze behind the mask carried a complicated emotion.
“Xiao Yang, I don’t like owing people favors. Since you gave me your spiritual eye, I now grant you this Golden Tiger Talisman. With it, you may command the Vermilion Bird Army’s soldiers.”
“In addition, I will agree to fulfill three requests—anything you ask.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a pure gold tiger tally from her chest and tossed it to Xiao Yang.
“This…”
Xiao Yang was a little surprised, “Miss Ning, you and I are about to be married. Giving you my spiritual eye is only natural. You didn’t need to give such a generous gift.”
“What I give, I never take back. If you don’t like it, just throw it away…”
With that, Ning Hongye turned and walked out of the manor.
This woman… she really is tsundere!
Xiao Yang watched her back and shook his head.
Meanwhile, the First Prince Xiao Junlin stared at the golden tiger tally in Xiao Yang’s hand, his eyes full of envy. The jealousy was exploding inside him.
The tiger tally symbolized military command!
Holding it was like the commander-in-chief arriving in person. It could mobilize thousands of troops.
And the 300,000 elite Vermilion Bird Army under Ning Hongye was no weaker than the Northern Suppression King’s own Black Armored Cavalry.
“Ninth Brother, that tiger tally might be a bit much for you. It involves deep matters. Why don’t I hold on to it for you?”
Xiao Junlin forced a smile, pretending to be concerned.
“If it’s that troublesome, no need to trouble you, Brother. I’ll carry the burden myself.”
Xiao Yang rolled his eyes and slipped the tiger tally into his sleeve, walking off.
In truth, he wasn’t that interested in the tally.
What really mattered were the three promises Ning Hongye had made.
She said anything was allowed… meaning he could make her do anything?
…
Soon after, Xiao Yang returned to his own courtyard.
Though he had no backing from his mother’s clan, as a prince, he still had his own private space within the manor.
“Young Master, you’re back!”
“I heard you had your eye gouged out! It’s all that damned demon woman’s fault for doing this to you! Waaah…”
Just as he stepped in, a soft, fragrant figure flung herself into his arms, crying with teary eyes.
“Huang Li, stop crying. I’m not dead, am I?”
Xiao Yang teased her and cupped the young girl’s delicate face.
Huang Li was his personal maid. Though still young, she was clearly a beauty in the making.
In the modern world, she’d be the dream girl at school—pure, sweet, admired by all the simps.
Yet in the manor, she had always waited on Xiao Yang, serving tea, massaging his shoulders and legs…
She was more devoted than a wife.
When she heard Xiao Yang had lost an eye, she nearly fainted from crying.
“Also, Miss Ning is my fiancée and your future mistress. Don’t speak of her that way again!” Xiao Yang instructed.
“Yes…”
Though Huang Li still felt some resentment, Xiao Yang was her whole world. She wouldn’t dare disobey him.
“Right. I’ll be entering closed-door cultivation. Don’t let anyone disturb me.”
With that, Xiao Yang walked toward his bedroom.
Huang Li was puzzled.
She knew her Young Master wasn’t cultivation material. He had trained for over ten years, consumed countless pills, yet still remained at 1st stage Body Tempering Realm.
What had gotten into him today?
…
Once inside, Xiao Yang silently chanted, “System, I want to extract [Unrivaled Dual-Pupils]!”
Boom!
A surge of unstoppable, majestic power suddenly descended from the heavens, pouring into Xiao Yang’s left eye.
Within the once-empty socket, a Dual-Pupil eye was forming, his entire being radiating immortal energy.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, from the eastern skies, dazzling violet clouds surged forward, circling above the Northern Suppression King’s Manor.
Within a 100-kilometer radius, everything came to life.
“Violet Qi from the East! Such a celestial omen—could it be that a dragon has emerged from the Xiao Clan?!”
The Northern Suppression King looked up into the heavens, his face lighting up with joy.
As a martial cultivator, he knew full well what such a phenomenon signified. A heaven-defying genius was being born.
“Wait… there’s more?”
In the next instant, the Northern Suppression King’s expression shifted drastically with disbelief.
Because that violet aura was only the beginning…
A Kirin breathing auspicious clouds!
Five-colored divine rays!
Golden lotuses blooming across the land!
Celestial cranes soaring in harmony!
Spiritual herbs blossoming!
A full nine types of extraordinary heavenly omens appeared in succession, intertwining with one another.
Countless people across the Northern Region witnessed this miraculous scene.
“Heaven bless our Northern Region! This is a sign of a sage being born!”
“I heard the founding emperor of the Grand Xia was born alongside five types of omens!”
“But nine?! This has never happened in a thousand years!”
…
And it wasn’t just the Grand Xia.
In every blessed land where immortal sects resided, spiritual energy rippled, chaotic and turbulent.
Many ancient cultivators, long in seclusion, suddenly awakened and turned their attention to Grand Xia.
In the Star Radiance Holy Land.
The Star Radiance Holy Lord sat in the great hall, surrounded by ten elders, 3,000 protectors, and countless disciples.
“In the Northern Region of Grand Xia, a future Emperor has been born!”
“Such terrifying talent—he’s managed to stir nine heavenly omens!”
“Ziyue, you shall go down the mountain. Head to Grand Xia and find this future Emperor. At all costs, bring him into our Star Radiance Holy Land!”
The Holy Lord’s voice echoed through the heavens.
“Yes, Master. I won’t fail you!”
From among the crowd, a stunning celestial maiden floated up, graceful and ethereal, barefoot on a lotus.
Whoosh!
She mounted a celestial crane, drawing a long rainbow across the sky as she flew toward the Grand Xia Empire.
At the same time—
In the Western Buddhist Nation, a white-robed monk walked barefoot on lotus blossoms. Dharma wheels turned behind him, and chants filled the air.
In the Endless Fire Domain, a red-dressed girl emerged from the flames. A phoenix mark shimmered on her brow. Wherever she walked, scorched earth bloomed with golden lotuses.
In the Divine-Demon Battlefield, a youth wrapped in beast pelts shouldered a massive bronze axe. Behind him, illusions of a hundred giant beasts appeared.
…
Because of the heavenly phenomena triggered by [Unrivaled Dual-Pupils], countless Holy Sons and Daughters from immortal sects emerged into the world.
A great age of strife was about to begin!
Yet the one who started it all, Xiao Yang, remained unaware.
At that moment, his left eye had two pupils overlapping, like the sun and moon shining together.
A notification sounded in his ear.
[System prompt: Congratulations, host has fused with “Unrivaled Dual-Pupils”!]
