Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 363: Chapter 361: The Big Shot of Thousand Demon Cave

Feeling the presence outside remaining still for quite some time, it finally faded into the distance.

Shen Yi picked a random spot to sit down and fell into deep thought.

The objective should be considered achieved, right?

To be honest, with a prodigy like Nie Jun in Wutong Mountain, doesn’t Thousand Demon Cave want to cultivate a few similar beings?

Although it’s named Thousand Demon Cave.

But from what Shen Yi has seen so far, there are at most two hundred creatures that could reach the level of a Demon King, and the number of Demon Emperors doesn’t surpass fifty.

The number of those who have undergone Divinity Transformation is about the same as the combined cultivators of the tripartite alliance.

Perhaps there are slightly more top-notch powerhouses.

But don’t forget, they occupy the most spiritually enriching area of Nanyang Sect.

Clearly, this group of demons has squandered too many Heaven and Earth Treasures, living a life of extravagant waste, in dire need of a visionary to make full use of these things.

The rules of Thousand Demon Cave were epitomized in the body of the Gold-winged Nine-pattern Demon Emperor.

Youwei and he were both Demon Emperors of Thousand Demon Cave.

It had its treasure taken away, but as long as the treasure still belonged to Thousand Demon Cave, for the Great Demons, such an event could be tolerated.

So long as he performed exceptionally well, their tolerance would be higher.

“Forget it, it’s useless to think so much about it now.”

Shen Yi got up and walked out of the cave dwelling, quickly finding the two types of Huashen Pill ingredients that the demon souls had discovered last time.

Such precious items.

Growing wildly in the territory of the old Jiaolong, the latter could not even be bothered to open its mouth to eat them.

Compared to the outside world where cultivators fought fiercely over a single precious medicine, a Primordial Realm White Dragon painfully guarded a Spiritual Root only to have it snatched away in the end.

This place was truly opulent beyond measure.

“Continue searching.”

At Shen Yi’s command, the Lion Emperor demon soul quickly swooped outside.

He found a secluded spot and opened the panel.

[Remaining demon life-span: 64,000 years]

Beneath the panel, besides the complete collection of Xu Family’s Formation Diagram Manual, there were also the six or seven formation books that he had borrowed from A’Qing during the first exploration of the cave dwelling.

Although the Qingqiu ancestor had some proficiency in formations, it was clearly not enough; they still made mistakes in administrating the cave dwelling in Mysterious Light Cave after many attempts.

Shen Yi’s current goal was the cave dwellings left by the elders of the Nanyang Sect.

Although he didn’t yet know how to get in, it was always right to prepare in advance.

Thinking of this, he channeled demon life-span into the preliminaries of the formation.

[In the first year, you reopened this Formation Introduction, only this time, instead of the previous lack of direction, you had the Qingqiu ancestor by your side to explain the basics of the formation.]

Looking at the prompts gradually passing on the panel, the situation was roughly as Shen Yi had anticipated.

Even though he couldn’t be considered a genius, he was at least in the realm of normal people; with the help of the old fox, he learned quite quickly.

[In the twenty-seventh year, you have mastered the basics of formations and become increasingly curious about the more profound content.]

[Formation Introduction: Complete]

Shen Yi assimilated the new information in his mind and unhurriedly continued to pour demon life-span into the next book.

…

Within the Clear Thunder Pool.

Thunder Hoof Demon Emperor watched the golden light fading into the sky and slowly stepped out of the Thunder Plasma.

The Gold-winged Nine-pattern Tiger went to find that lion, and then, without meting out any punishment, simply left in peace.

“How nice.”

Thunder Hoof Demon Emperor shook his head, suddenly feeling envious.

That lion, having gained power overnight, must have stumbled upon some opportunity, displaying such arrogance and willfulness, yet still managed to gain the favor of the Fourth Cave Demon Emperor.

It knew without even needing to use its head.

The Golden-Eyed Lion suppressed Youwei and might as well have driven it out of the Thousand Demon Cave.

That definitely qualified as a powerful general.

And it happened to be a moment of internal strife.

That mother tiger was certainly looking to recruit the other party.

“Thinking of switching masters… It’s not that easy.”

The Thunderhoof Demon Emperor had not forgotten how harsh it had been to that lion; the other party, not even sparing the unresentful Youwei, had struck such a ruthless blow. If it were truly to stand up again, it might well be oneself who would be unfortunate in the end.

With that thought, it let out a cold laugh.

Suddenly, it rose upon purple thunder, heading toward the north.

Soon before the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor, a massive screen of light appeared, like an abyss hanging in the sky, shrouded in unfathomable darkness.

“Thunder Hoof has important matters to report, and I hope the Demon Emperor will not blame me,” it said.

As it spoke, it sent a stream of purple thunder into the abyssal screen.

Who knows how long had passed.

A roaring sound came from the darkness, as if a giant beast was awakening from slumber.

The next moment, countless crimson eyes lit up.

As they opened, the blackness of the screen quickly faded away, revealing a quiet study scene.

On the endless shelves, volumes of heavy cultivation techniques gently flipped.

Countless Jade Slips trembled slightly.

And between the seas of books, a gigantic black-haired spider curled up in a ball, slowly stretching its legs.

It looked outward, its tone slightly angry, “Speak.”

Thunder Hoof stepped forward lightly, bowing humbly, “Youwei was stripped of its treasure and fled in shambles from the Thousand Demon Cave, its return time is unknown.”

“Didn’t it lose its tail long ago?”

The Spider Emperor seemed uninterested, “Was this after it had recovered its tail, only to have it stolen again? By someone from Wutong Mountain?”

“You misunderstand,” it said.

The Thunderhoof Demon Emperor shook its head and stated plainly, “The one who stole the spear is also under your command, the Golden-Eyed Lion, this is a family affair of ours.”

Hearing this, the Spider Emperor blinked slowly, apparently trying to recall who the Golden-Eyed Lion was. After pondering for a moment, it said, “Nevermind, let it come to see me and return the spear to Youwei.”

After giving the response, it curled up again, ready to close its seething crimson eyes.

But at this moment, the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor raised its head, “It might not come, it seems to have received benefits from the Golden Winged Nine-Patterned Demon Emperor and no longer heeds my words.”

The Spider Emperor returned its gaze, and after a long while, it laughed with a hiss, “Are you suggesting that one of my subordinates has stolen another’s treasure, and then with the item, defected to that mother tiger?”

“This is a slight against me, then.”

“…”

Thunder Hoof did not reply, merely falling into silent subservience.

It knew what this perennially slumbering Spider Emperor valued the most.

Sure enough, the next moment.

A long spider leg reached out from the screen, throwing a Jade Slip out, “Place this in the most recently opened cave dwelling.”

“Thunder Hoof’s eyes are poor; may I ask what this is?” the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor hastily caught it.

“Something that would drive the cultivator surnamed Tong from Wutong Mountain mad; you just take it, he will naturally sense it,” said the Spider Emperor, withdrawing its leg.

“Convey my order, have that lion garrison the cave dwelling. If there is any mishap, I will take its head,” it said.

At that, Thunder Hoof finally relaxed.

Garrisoning the cave dwelling was an ironclad rule of the Thousand Demon Cave.

Even if that mother tiger valued the Golden-Eyed Lion greatly, she couldn’t fault it on this matter.

Aspiring for high branches, one should first see if they have the fate for it.
