Chapter 27: Double Pupil Technique, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass!

Tsk tsk, never expected your Dragon Clan to actually have such a secret technique!

On a certain sea island in the East Sea, two figures stood before a five-colored light gate.

They were Duobao and Xiaolongnü Ao Zixin.

Xiaolongnü Ao Zixin revealed her name and the reason she discovered Duobao in full.

As it turns out, the Dragon Clan possesses a secret technique called Double Pupil, which was created by Zulong himself; before Ao Zixin, only Zulong could cultivate this technique.

Zulong possesses Double Pupil! This secret technique can see through all illusions and all hidden divine abilities.

This is also how Ao Zixin was able to discover Duobao.

Duobao fellow Daoist, this secret technique, when cultivated to its utmost depth, is said to be able to condense seven pupils; at that point, even another world could be seen, but this is only a fragment left by my father, and even he himself has only cultivated to the Three Pupil Realm; as for whether it's true or false, I don't know.

Looking at this second Double Pupil holder of the Dragon Clan after Zulong, a gleam flashed in Duobao's eyes.

Ao Zixin fellow Daoist, I am very interested in this Double Pupil secret technique; I don't know if it can be passed on.

Of course, I will never forget the kindness of transmitting the Dao, Duobao; from Zulong's treasure trove I will take only three items, and I can also transmit the Five Thunder Technique to you for exchange.

Ao Zixin looked at Duobao's lovely face, full of a strange expression.

Fellow Daoist, are you really intent on exchanging this secret technique?

You probably still don't know the great drawback of this secret technique: only those with Double Pupil can cultivate it, and you, however, have only Mundane Pupils....

Ao Zixin sized up Duobao, shook her head, and had no confidence at all in Duobao's desire to cultivate Double Pupil.

Although this secret technique is powerful, it can probe Chaos above and the Nine Netherworld Deities below; it is utterly domineering.

However, its cultivation conditions are also extremely harsh.

Only those with Double Pupil can cultivate it.

Those with Mundane Pupils who cultivate it either achieve nothing, wasting time, or in severe cases destroy their eyes and ruin their cultivation.

Therefore, even in the Dragon Clan, even Zhulong can only sigh in admiration of the technique.

This is also another reason why Ao Zixin is highly esteemed in the Dragon Clan.

At this moment, facing Duobao's exchange request, Ao Zixin could not bear to let this life-saving benefactor engage in futile effort.

You don't need to worry, fellow Daoist; I have it figured out—just say whether you'll exchange or not!

Duobao insisted on his own view, not without reason.

He discovered that this Double Pupil technique shares a wonderful similarity with a pupil technique he obtained from Qiuniu's cave dwelling.

Although it is a Mundane Pupil technique, if the two are compatible, perhaps great gains could be had.

Even if not, he would lose nothing.

As for being able to obtain only three of the ten Spirit Treasures, he didn't mind too much.

Treasures are valued for quality, not quantity.

Since you, fellow Daoist, are seeking death yourself, I, a young woman, will fulfill your wish!

Ao Zixin saw that Duobao would not shed tears even without seeing a coffin.

She simply fulfilled Duobao's wish.

Although the Double Pupil technique is precious, it is merely an accumulation.

She also only cultivated to the third level, after which she could no longer progress.

Her aptitude lies there, allowing her in this life to only possess Double Pupil.

Moreover, she once traveled the Four Seas Dragon Clan, seeing countless junior members of the Dragon Clan, hoping to find an inheritor.

But she discovered that the Dragon Clan fundamentally lacks Double Pupil; she is the sole remaining Double Pupil holder.

Furthermore, in her disappointment, Ao Zixin lost interest in the Double Pupil technique, one of the Dragon Clan's ten great secret techniques.

To him, the Double Pupil technique is less practical than Spirit Treasures.

Buzz! A mass of light blue energy shot forth from Ao Zixin's brow and arrived before Duobao.

Duobao was not polite either; his powerful divine sense unfolded, penetrated it, and instantly saw it clearly.

Faced with this profound and wondrous secret technique, Duobao happily retracted the light mass, nodded to Ao Zixin, and then transmitted the Five Thunder Method to her.

Seeing this, she joyfully received the Five Thunder Method and was the first to step into that light gate.

Duobao seeing this, also closely followed behind.

The light then faded.

Duobao appeared in a five-colored world, with spiritual energy thick and mist swirling.

This world, although merely a small one, allows one to see its end at a glance.

However, its spiritual energy density is not inferior to that of those fairy mountains.

Merely taking a single breath refreshed Duobao's spirit.

What surprised him was that the spiritual energy here actually contained various profound Dao rhythms; merely taking a single breath increased his understanding of the Dao by a fraction.

This place stores hundreds of Primordial Top-tier Treasures, various kinds of Innate Spirit Treasures; the auras they release intertwine, naturally giving rise to various Dao rhythm laws, which over time have evolved into what we see today!

It's just a pity that, during the Three Clans War, my father caused the hundreds of treasures here to self-destruct one after another, leaving only thirty-odd items; to be frank, when I originally offered to gift ten Spirit Treasures, it was truly unavoidable!

Ao Zixin's explanation, Duobao neither affirmed nor denied.

Even with his life at stake, what's there to talk about treasures?

He remained silent and began to carefully observe all the treasures here.

Although there are only thirty-odd items, they are all treasures.

Basically, they are all top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Each possesses overwhelming awe-inspiring power and considerable might.

If these treasures were taken out, they would surely stir up a bloody storm.

Buzz! Suddenly, Duobao, who was admiring its profundity, stopped in his tracks.

His gaze fixed on a black small flag.

His face was calm, but his inner heart was wild joy.

Surely, it's there! Northern Xuanyuan Water-Control Flag! One of the Five Direction Flags!

This is also Duo Bao's purpose for this trip.

Without hesitation, he swept his big hand and directly stored it.

Ao Zixin felt greatly surprised.

In her impression, that Xuanyuan Water-Control Flag, although a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, is merely a defensive treasure; its power is too singular—how could one choose it?

But she only had some doubts, yet did not remind Duo Bao, letting him choose freely.

Duo Bao did not know Ao Zixin's thoughts, and continued to appreciate the treasures inside.

Soon, he stopped before a stalk of silver-white immortal herb.

It is a silver-white small grass! Three chi high, the whole body flashing silver lines, beautiful and splendid, like the Great Dao's divine patterns; upon seeing it, one instantly comprehends the Sword Dao, and also some sword qi emanates from it.

Its leaves are like swords, nine leaves growing together; one blade can cut the sun, moon, and stars! "Could it be that this is one of the Ancient Ten Ferocious, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass!"

Duo Bao's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of great surprise.

Ancient Ten Ferocious: Kunpeng, True Dragon, True Phoenix, Thunder Emperor, Heavenly Horn Ant, Qilin, Cricket, Nine Nether Ape, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, God-Smiting Stone.

Each of them is a peerless genius.

Among them, Kunpeng is one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, and later even stirred the Witch Demon the Great Calamity.

True Dragon, True Phoenix, and primordial Qilin even suppressed an era.

One can see, just how illustrious the reputation of the Ancient Ten Ferocious is!

And this Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the fiercest of the fierce! "This stalk of Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, I'll take it!"
