Update) _2

The double-pupilled premonition isn’t always because she’s in danger, there are other situations as well, for instance, it could also be triggered if a rare treasure is about to appear nearby.
In the vast wilderness, amidst complicated ancient trees that blot out the sun, streams rush and cascades form when they meet mountain peaks. These create a unique geological landscape in this vast wilderness.
Soon, the woman in the grey robe arrived at a canyon between mountains.
Before her, a large silhouette, tall as a giant, transected the land, blocking the woman’s path.
It was a range of majestic mountains, densely packed, rugged and steep, like countless inverted sharp longswords stabbing between Heaven and Earth, exuding endless sharpness and killing intent.
Furthermore, the mountain range was shrouded in a thick fog that blocked everything. This fog was so thick it seemed almost solid.
The woman in the grey robe slightly knitted her brows, her expression more solemn than ever before.
Because once they reached this place, the premonition from her double pupils became intense and rapid. It was frantically warning her.
Unlike before, this time there was a hint of fear in the premonition from her double pupils, warning her not to proceed or very terrible consequences would follow.
“Even those forbidden areas handed down from the long past couldn’t make my double pupils react this way. What then exactly lurks behind these mountains? Could it be a rebellious treasure?!”
The color of the woman’s face subtly changed, and her pupils flickered with unique brilliance. This was the Power of Double Pupils erupting, trying to pierce through the mountain mist to see the scenery hidden in its deepest depths.
However, she was obviously disappointed again.
The dense fog seemed to gush out from deep underground, rolling interminably. When it reached mid-air, it cascaded like a flood, wave after wave, rushing towards the steep mountains in all directions.
The thick (dense) fog wrapped the earth, as if immersed in it, intending to shut out all of the woman’s sight.
At the same time, the woman’s eyes suddenly shone brighter like stars.
The next moment, they showed two different colors, black and white, blindingly radiating an extremely lustrous light.
She spurred on the Power of Double Pupils to its utter limit, attempting to forcibly break through the area shrouded in mist.
In an instant, a surge of divine power fluctuations made this place boil. The surrounding air trembled. Countless symbols flew up, illuminating the void, branded into each inch of space, forcibly squeezing into the mountains shrouded in fog.
“How… how is that possible?!”
But the next moment.
The color on the woman’s face suddenly became utterly horrified.
Just in that instant, through the layers of fog, she saw a sight that made even her shiver to her core.
It was a towering sacrificial altar, located at the center of the universe, surrounded by stars emitting life’s breath. It was so huge that it could not be simply described.
Glancing at it, the vast dark universe was even filled with it. Even those surrounding stars could only roam through the gaps of the altar.
That wasn’t the most important part.
The terrifying thing was.
There was actually a blood-red pool of blood in the altar.
The blood was surging, like a roaring sea in turmoil, emitting loud, deafening sounds, reeking of violence, an overwhelmingly sinister atmosphere.
Moreover, around this blood pool, one could hear the whispers of gods. There was not the slightest holiness, but rather, it was like a curse coming from Hell.
The most terrifying part was.
Stars kept dropping one after another from above this pool into the blood pool, like dumplings being dropped in soup.
Each time a star fell, the color of blood became darker, and the murmuring sounds around it became denser…
At that point.
The scene before her eyes abruptly ended.
The woman quickly regained her senses, her expression serious.
She knew that this was her double pupils self-protecting, forcefully cutting off the visions. Otherwise, she might be cursed by that blood pool, resulting in terrible consequences, or perhaps even perishing right there.
“What exactly is that blood pool? It’s so colossal, it’s actually using the entire life star as food!”
The woman in the grey robe fiercely swallowed saliva. The horror in her heart was slow to subside.
The scene was too horrifying, as if it was peeping into a corner of the end of the ancient fairy era.
It was the most ancient era, and now few people know about it, as it has been concealed in the river of time.
An era marked by turmoil and bloodshed.
She happened to read about the end of the Ancient Fairy Era in a book.
With the rise of the alien tribe, a fierce war erupted in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. This brutal war resulted in the shattering of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the fall of all the Immortal Kings, and significant loss of vitality on the side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Many of them became slaves in the alien realm.
“I fear this world might really plunge into chaos!!”
The woman in the grey robe withdrew her consciousness, took a deep, cold breath, and immediately distanced herself from the group of mountain peaks shrouded in white mist, daring not to get any closer.
Her main purpose of coming out from the Ancient Sanctuary was to meet a young boy, who, like her, had double pupils and enormous potential, something she rarely encountered in her life.
Despite both having double pupils, there existed differences in strengths.
That boy was the most promising individual she had met in her lifetime. During his lifetime, it’s likely he could truly comprehend all about the power of double pupils, grasp the strongest power of double pupils, and understand the ultimate secret of double pupils.
Whenever she saw that boy, it felt like seeing her own past self striving for cultivation; witnessing his potential reminded her of her own. Sharing the bond of double pupils, she wished that he could shine on a larger stage and not meet an untimely end in this life.
The woman in the grey robe hesitated for a moment, secretly marked this location and immediately turned around towards a different direction, vanishing instantly into the vast wilderness.
The decisive departure of the Double Pupils Woman was expected by Jiang Hui. Possessing double pupils granted her the ability to see through falsities, naturally allowing her to detect the danger of the Utopia Array.
However, the bewildered expression on her face as she left sparked Jiang Hui’s curiosity.
“Could it be that she saw something she wasn’t supposed to see?”
Jiang Hui wondered to himself.
Otherwise, the current situation would be hard to explain.
The power of the Double Pupils Woman is indubitable. Although she’s not a top-tier powerhouse and there is still a considerable gap between her and those ancestral elders, she can still be regarded as a major figure.
She has been alive since ancient times, possessing a long lifespan and has bore witness to that epic battle of the Ancient Era. Unless she saw something, it’s unlikely that she would be thrown in such a state.
“Could it be, that she saw the blood pool?”
Jiang Hui was puzzled, and with a flickering gaze, he turned his sights to the Utopia Array.
The next moment, all the dense fog on the mountains vanished.
In their place was a vast and dark Infinite Universe.
Within this universe was a huge square altar that stretched across, giving off an ancient and mysterious aura.
In the midst of the altar was an oceanic blood pool.
Jiang Hui’s consciousness concentrated and descended into that blood pool.
As if sensing a familiar aura drawing near, the blood, like the sea, started to churn and roll with magnificent waves. It seemed to possess life and intelligence, as if rejoicing in ecstasy.
Jiang Hui comforted it for a bit, only then did the blood pool gradually calm down, becoming as smooth as a mirror.
Strictly speaking,
This blood pool isn’t from the Utopia Array but from another item he recently obtained called the Blood Refining Pool.
This item is quite peculiar; although it’s a physical object, it can be hidden within a formation and work in conjunction with it.
Not only can it enhance the strength and durability of the formation, but it can also refine the purity of the blood.
When the blood in the Blood Refining Pool reaches a certain level of purity, it has a certain probability of promoting the bloodline of the creature that enters it, elevating it by one or even multiple levels.
However, the chances are slim, out of tens of thousands there might not even be one. But once you encounter one, it’s like a carp jumping through the Dragon’s Gate, which could possibly trigger a qualitative change.
“It’s just a Blood Refining Pool, why make such a fuss about it?”
Jiang Hui let out a bitter laugh.
His divine sense formed an avatar, which walked over from the top of the altar, gazing at the endless universe.
Right beside him,
The blood was as calm as tranquility, occasionally spitting out tiny bubbles.
The life planets it devoured were just star condensates Jiang Hui created with his divine power. They weren’t actual stars, but regardless of their authenticity, their effects were exceptionally significant.
With gradual accumulation over time, the density of the blood has become sticky and brilliant, giving off a faint luster.
“Seems like it’s almost time, Little Black has been with me the longest, guess I’ll start with it!”
Jiang Hui withdrew his gaze from the blood pool and stroked his chin as he spoke..
