Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 374: Chapter 372: The Method of Returning to Void

Shen Yi seemed to be acting dismissively.

Every time he saw a bookshelf that had been broken into, he would reach out, take a look and then throw it back.

The thudding sounds made the Spider Emperor’s eyes twitch.

Although these things were not very useful, it had toiled painstakingly to create them, and each one took hundreds to thousands of years to form.

To let this lion peruse them was truly like pearls cast before swine.

Finally, Shen Yi appeared to be tired and placed the last jade slip back.

“I thought it was something valuable, worth your vigilance, just this?”

He turned around, and the golden light in his eyes almost scattered due to the fluctuation of his thoughts.

[Return to Void (Precious). Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace: Uninitiated]

This was the first Cultivation Technique that Shen Yi came across after flipping through so many jade slips, which did not require any prerequisite.

The first line was a marked reminder, stating it was obtained by an elder from the sect during their travels, and its details were unknown.

Perhaps because it was so valuable, it was included in the Law Storage Pavilion, stored together with the other jade slips.

“Hmph, aside from I the Emperor, you are the second person to have seen these things. Don’t be ungracious.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor rearranged the jade slips and issued a cold rebuke.

It could afford this lion some special treatment, but that didn’t mean it would tolerate any disregard for rank and hierarchy.

“And who is the other?” Shen Yi glanced sideways.

“The other… What does it have to do with you!”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor exclaimed instinctively, then glared over in annoyance.

In its mind, inexplicably, the young figure clad in a wide blue robe surfaced.

At the Divinity Transformation level, the figure had managed to envision the embryonic form of the Dao Palace at the critical moment of life and death, not only severely injuring it but also escaping against six enemies.

At that time, the many Cultivation Technique jade slips taken away by Nie Jun were acquired by the Spider Emperor through breaking formations over many years.

It was precisely because of this precedent

that it had been ordered by the old dog not to tamper with the treasures of the Law Storage Pavilion anymore.

“Anyhow, if that person dares to come in again, it’s a certain death!”

“…”

Seeing the Spider Emperor’s rage, Shen Yi instantly knew the identity of that person.

To have provoked the Ten Great Demon Emperors and still be alive today

could only be the cultivators from Wutong Mountain.

It probably wasn’t the Ancestor; after all, being able to lead a tripartite alliance against Thousand Demon Cave, it was likely a Return to Void Realm cultivator. If the demons could kill him, they would have done so long ago, not waiting until now.

It seemed Nie Jun was stronger than he had thought. As long as he didn’t come to Thousand Demon Cave, even the group of Great Demon Emperors had no way to deal with him.

If not necessary, he should try not to wander outside while disguised as a demon in the future, to avoid making himself a target and drawing the attention of a killer.

“Alright, you wanted to see, and I let you see.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor coiled back and pulled out a scroll from the corner of the desk, tossing it to the lion: “A reward for you. With your brain, just look at these things.”

Shen Yi took it in hand.

On the scroll was engraved the phrase “Impression of Watching Fairy Zi Lan Bathing”.

“…”

To avoid suspicion, he forcibly composed himself and let his Divine Soul penetrate into it.

It was the same kind of scene unfolding in his mind as before.

As the mists cleared, a vivid blue lake came into view, surrounded by cultivators in various attire, all emanating a fearsomely powerful aura.

Some stood on treasure boats, others astride fierce beasts with golden scales.

Everyone was fixated on the lake.

This rather puzzled Shen Yi. What kind of fairy was this, taking a bath yet attracting so many onlookers to admire?

In an instant, ripples appeared on the azure lake’s surface.

A White Dragon, almost a hundred zhang in length, leaped out of the lake, its whiskers shimmering with a purple glow. As its body coiled, it radiated a strange beauty.

It surveyed those around it then, with eyes clear and filled with a touch of disdain and helplessness, it plunged back into the clouds without turning back.

The image froze, then was shrouded in mist.

Shen Yi retrieved his Divine Soul, preparing to speak, when a prompt appeared on the pane.

[Return to Void. Dragon Leap to the Heavenly Womb: Uninitiated]

His eyelids twitched.

This was not any bathing scene, it was clearly a Cultivation Technique.

This cultivator from Nanyang Sect, just by watching the purple-whiskered White Dragon bathe, had realized a Return to Void level Teleportation Technique.

“Tsk.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor caught the glimpse of joy in the lion’s eyes.

There was slight contempt in its heart.

But it quickly concealed its emotions.

Having faults wasn’t necessarily bad, if the other really had no desires or needs, it would actually feel a bit uneasy.

“Rein in your thoughts, it’s time to take care of business.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor reminded in a softer tone, “Youwei has been driven away by you, and Thunder Hoof died at your hands. Their territories are unguarded and will surely attract the attention of cultivators. Don’t forget, there are disciples of Wutong Mountain hidden in Thousand Demon Cave.”

“Go, bring them here.”

Leniency was predicated on having sufficient value.

“…”

Shen Yi glanced at the distant bookshelf.

He had just come into contact with the Return to Void Technique, and coupled with a Teleportation Technique, there surely were many other methods here.

But if he continued to entangle now, that would be too obvious.

“Understood.”

Shen Yi turned and walked toward the exit of the light screen.

He needed to think of other methods.

As for capturing the Wutong Mountain disciples… As long as those people weren’t fools, given the previous battle, there was a high probability they had already left the Thousand Demon Cave.

Shen Yi left the Law Storage Pavilion and found a quiet place at random.

He opened the panel again.

The prompt to deduce the Divine Strengthening Silk Thread had already ceased.

[In the 24,000th year, you had already mastered the entire Cultivation Technique, but you still couldn’t pass the final assessment. The Iron Painting Silver Hook Formation is like a lotus made of several parts, with your current Divine Soul strength, you can at most complete about thirty percent.]

Shen Yi closed the prompt.

He wasn’t intent on being competitive about this, after all, it was just a test.

He wasn’t a disciple of the Nanyang Sect, and it wasn’t necessary.

The Iron Painting Silver Hook is divided into trapping, killing, and sealing.

A total of three techniques.

Even if a part was taken out individually, it could still be quite effective and was less complicated.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 94,000 years]

Because of the 32,000 years of lifespan contributed by the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor, the amount remaining was actually quite a bit more than before he started practicing the Divine Strengthening Silk Thread.

Shen Yi looked at the two new Cultivation Techniques he had just obtained, his eyes brimming with some expectation.

The next moment, he poured the vast demon lifespan into the Dao Palace technique.

[In the first year, you summoned the ancestor of Qingqiu to begin studying the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace text, it was extremely difficult, and when you looked up, you saw the old fox was also sweating profusely, and the two of you blankly exchanged glances.]

“…”

Shen Yi saw such a prompt for the first time.

He knew his own limitations, but the old fox’s reaction was somewhat outrageous.

What happened to being experienced and knowledgeable?

Where was the calm and composed demeanor from when he was taught formation knowledge before?

Shen Yi stayed silent for a long while.

All he could do was watch as the demon lifespan disappeared at a rate visible to the naked eye.

…

Inside the Thousand Demon Cave.

A four-winged flying eagle suddenly convulsed, then quietly got dragged down.

While it struggled frantically, it also saw the faces of several people nearby and instantly became filled with terror.

Four figures stood with their hands hanging down, each wearing an identical cold expression on their faces.

“I will give you only one chance.”

The woman who was obviously the leader slowly stepped forward, “Is the Golden-Eyed Lion still alive, and where is he?”

Behind the woman,

Tong Xin’chuan, Miao Qinghui, and even the youthful-looking Qingfeng Zhenren, all had intense killing intent in their eyes at this moment.

“Youwei, Youwei Demon Emperor’s cave dwelling.”

As the words of the four-winged flying eagle were about to finish, the woman gently waved her hand, and immediately a spiritual pressure surged into its eyes, expanding inside its skull until the eagle’s head burst open with a pop.

Qingfeng Zhenren took a deep breath, “I have left many messages outside the Thousand Demon Cave, all unanswered, I fear even that Golden Body Dharma Identity has left…”

“The lion is still alive, yet he has given up even the thought of revenge; that Shen Yi kid might indeed be in trouble,” Qingfeng said as he looked to one side.

As soon as these words came out, only Miao Qinghui was visibly moved, a look of regret flashing in her eyes, “Last time, it was that Golden Body who saved you.”

“So, I have to do something,” Li Qingfeng bit his teeth and squeezed out a strained smile, “Thank you, senior sister.”

“I don’t care who you are talking about.”

Lingxi Zhenren withdrew her hand indifferently and said lightly, “I just want to show Master that there is such a person as Lingxi from Wutong Mountain.”

She stepped forward again toward the front.

“To my recollection, this is the first time the big senior sister has left the mountain, and I didn’t expect her to be so decisive.”

Miao Qinghui spoke to alleviate Qingfeng’s embarrassment.

“…”

Tong Xin’chuan didn’t say anything.

For some reason, even though the big senior sister had a complete Divinity Transformation cultivation and, in terms of realm, could be regarded as the first under their master, he could not bring himself to trust her.

There was no specific reason, just an instinctual reaction in his heart.

According to his thinking, they should at least make many more preparations, like contacting Great Qian to inquire about the whereabouts of the Yin God Cultivator.

But when the big senior sister’s temper flared up, who could persuade her?

She clearly was losing control of her emotions because of Jiang Qiulan and Nie Jun’s incident.

“No matter what, at least her cultivation is real, I just hope nothing goes wrong,”

Tong Xin’chuan sighed inwardly and followed them.

As the group approached the Youwei Demon Emperor’s cave dwelling,

inside the cave, a voluptuous shadow reclined.

“Tsk.”

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor propped her head with her hand, the more she thought, the more something felt off.

She had been tricked by that lion’s few words earlier.

Thinking it over, the lion hadn’t really clarified anything, and this time she had to get to the bottom of it.
