Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang_1

One step closer to the Li Hua Divine Realm.

The pressure in Shen Yi’s heart finally eased somewhat.

As long as he could break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm and combine it with his Golden Body, he alone would be able to control two battlefields at once. When combined, he could also challenge demons of even higher cultivation levels.

“Congratulations to my lord for his significant advancement in cultivation! The day when you will awe all directions is just around the corner!” Lady Qinghua timely offered her congratulations.

“…”

Shen Yi glanced at her speechlessly.

He finally understood.

Every time he got a little carried away, this woman would jump out and douse him with a bucket of cold water.

A cultivation level like the Primordial Middle Realm would certainly dominate in other places, but when dealing with powers like Wutong Mountain and the Thousand Demon Cave, it was utterly insufficient.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out a golden wen booklet, a symbol of his identity as a temple enshrine: “Take this, go back to Great Qian to repair the Golden Body.”

“Qinghua…”

Lady Qinghua paused, her face filled with trepidation, not knowing where she had misspoken to be sent away from her master’s side.

She knew well that her master had just slain a White Feathered Demon Emperor, and it was time to exchange personnel.

Yet she had no intention of arguing and obediently bowed her head, “Qinghua will return immediately… Does my lord need Qinghua to garrison Great Qian?”

Hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent for a moment.

Then he softly said, “No need, make it a quick trip.”

Somehow, he had become like the disciples of the Martial Temple, someone who would stress the importance of the overall situation and any temporary setbacks…

Shen Yi didn’t believe in the importance of any overall situation.

He only knew that if Great Qian were dragged into a lingering death by the Thousand Demon Cave, it would become a ruin littered with corpses, and Jiuzhou would fall to demons.

By then, seeking revenge or anything of the sort… would in fact be quite meaningless.

He needed to leverage his Golden Body to rapidly grow stronger and strive to break through Divinity Transformation as soon as possible, to strike deep into the Thousand Demon Cave, and to replace defense with offense as the only path to survival.

Forming the Golden Body previously and now repairing it was likely going to use up eighty to ninety percent of Wu Brother’s share of the Incense Willpower.

Among the remaining portions, Brother Zhu Jue himself still needed Incense Willpower to form his Golden Body, and the other three portions may not be willingly given to himself.

Not everyone has the courage like Brother Wu to wager all of Great Qian’s reserves on a single gamble.

Incense Willpower takes time to replenish.

The fact that Great Qian once had thirteen Transcendent Cultivators doesn’t mean they all broke through at the same time.

Based on the current estimate, all the reserves of the Martial Temple would only suffice to support the disciples in forming about five or six three-zhang-tall Golden Body Dharma Identities.

This doesn’t even include the reconstruction of the Golden Body after injury.

In other words, Shen Yi felt that if he acted rashly like how he did with the White Feathered Demon Emperor every time, he could only afford to do so a dozen or so times before he would deplete the Martial Temple’s savings.

Without mentioning anything else, if there’s no Incense Willpower, they wouldn’t even be able to control the corpses of those few Transcendent Spirit Golden Bodies, and the entire Great Qian would become utterly defenseless.

As for forcefully taking it…

Not to mention whether Shen Yi could do such a thing, the old ancestor within the Martial Temple was only senile, not dead; to rob the Martial Temple of Incense Willpower right in front of a six-zhang-tall Golden Body…

Desiring other portions of Incense Willpower would inevitably require actions that are convincingly justifiable.

This gave Brother Wu some confidence in putting forth the proposal.

For instance, sending all those Primordial Grandmasters from Great Qian back home?

The alliance was essentially working for Wutong Mountain to begin with, and even Qingfeng Zhenren had made a statement, telling Chen Zhong to return soon, so they wouldn’t force these people to leave Great Qian against their will.

They just needed to deal with the Mysterious Light Cave.

“Qinghua takes her leave.”

Lady Qinghua respectfully saluted, then entered the Yin God and, carrying the Golden Bead, departed toward the direction of Great Qian.

“…”

Shen Yi watched the Golden Bead fly away, his heart filled with an odd sensation.

He then laughed at himself in self-deprecation.

Had he not survived before without anyone to protect him?

Why did he, now a Primordial Grandmaster, feel like an infant craving milk, uncomfortable the moment his Golden Body was away?

Could it be that the higher one’s cultivation, the smaller one’s courage becomes?

With this thought in mind, Shen Yi took out the Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang technique and the thick tome left behind by the owner of the cave from his Storage Treasure.

He read through them once again.

The Transcendent Spirit Technique was incredibly abstruse, and even the extrapolated annotations were headache-inducing, but since the thick tome could not be included in the panel, he could only read it slowly himself.

Most of it pertained to speculations on the Heart-Burning Chapter.

Only a very small part was the cave owner’s summary of the Li Fire Chapter.

Shen Yi committed all of it to memory, before beginning to deduce with the lifespan of the demon.

[Transcendent Spirit (Treasure). Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang, First Volume: Uninitiated]

[In the first year, you began to understand the Li Fire Chapter, the experience of your predecessors echoed in your mind, something beyond the capabilities of those in the Primordial Realm, but with the Spiritual Root, you decided to try to grasp this power.]

[According to the cave owner’s annotations, you gradually understand the difference between the Divinity Transformation Realm and the Primordial Realm.]

[The former has completely transcended the mortal coil; their being is a manifestation of the essence of heaven and earth, with the Spiritual Root merged into the body, capable of easily mobilizing the essence of heaven and earth, a domain completely incomprehensible to a Primordial Grandmaster.]

As the demon’s lifespan rapidly drained away, Shen Yi closed his eyes, digesting the insights.

A Primordial Grandmaster can’t mobilize the essence of heaven and earth; for example, to gather True Purple Golden Flames, he would definitely have to extract from the foundation of the Dao Infant, then transform it through the Spiritual Root.

The quantity that the two could manipulate would naturally be as different as heaven and earth.

But that didn’t matter.

Shen Yi looked at his Storage Treasure at his waist, where he stored all the Demon Cores he had collected along the way.

Among them, there were even two from extreme realm Demon Kings, as well as the one from the White Feathered Demon Emperor.

Moreover, with the characteristics of the Heavenly Devouring Demon Infant, he now no longer needed to rely on Outer Elixirs and could directly digest the cultivation within the Demon Cores to supplement himself.

His own cultivation base was not comparable to that of an ordinary Primordial Realm.

“Just learn it slowly,” he said.

Shen Yi patiently waited, with the ancient tomes left by the cave owner, it was as if he had a Divinity Transformation Realm master; the annotations were no less than personal instruction.

Even if his own comprehension was not enough, but with a clear path to guide and compare to, he just needed to keep moving forward.

[In the nine hundred and thirty-sixth year, you transformed the True Yang Golden Flames filled with sinister energy into colorless and invisible Supreme Yang Li Fire, taking the most important step.]

[Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang, First Volume, Initiated]

Shen Yi stood on a high mound, his palm movements fluid like a wandering dragon, unpredictable as they moved around his body.

The colorless and invisible Li Fire twined around his fingertips.

Immediately after obtaining the Spiritual Root, the technique he was practicing skipped the Primordial Realm altogether, even surpassing the common Divinity Transformation Realm techniques.

He finally tasted what it was like to possess a major sect’s true transmission.

Shen Yi, having savored the experience, abruptly shifted from gentle movements to violent ones, thrusting out a palm from which the Li Fire detached and grew upon meeting the wind, like a scorching sun beside him.

Clothed in black, he stood amidst the blazing sun.

Like a golden crow spreading its wings.

Nearly three thousand years of the demon’s lifespan vanished in an instant.

[Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang, First Volume, Minor Achievement]

The lifespan continued to decrease, and the realm of his technique soared unstoppably!
