Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 380: Chapter 378: Let Me Observe

Thousand Demon Cave, Law Storage Pavilion.

As the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor watched the figure wandering inside the pavilion, it finally couldn’t help but speak in a sinister tone, “The first task I assigned you, you handle it like this? Are you planning to hide in this eighth cave forever?”

“What’s the problem.”

Shen Yi picked up a jade slip again, then tossed it back.

Listening to the crisp crack.

The old spider exclaimed in shock and anger, “Be gentle, damn it!”

It couldn’t understand why, in this vast Thousand Demon Cave, only it could recognize the preciousness of these Nanyang Sect cultivation techniques.

Live to old age, learn to old age; even if a demon can’t learn them, there’s no harm in reading more books.

Otherwise, like this lion, what else could it understand besides bath pictures? It only knows how to spoil things!

“Of course there’s a problem. I took you in to have you do tasks, not to let you act like a lord in the fourth cave!”

“If you’re this cowardly, I don’t need anyone else, I will be the first to slaughter you!”

Listening to the noisy chatter in his ear.

Shen Yi looked back impatiently, “Alright, just stay a few days, watch the situation. The Emperor has courage and strategy, not stupidity.”

“…”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor crawled back to its spot.

It wasn’t that it was unsympathetic.

After all, it was a carefully laid ambush by nearly half the disciples of Wutong Mountain, including a Cultivator who had completed the Divinity Transformation. Had the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor not been there, this lion would most likely have died inside the cave dwelling.

Some apprehension was normal.

It just disliked the other’s current attitude.

“I’ll endure you a few more days, but don’t overestimate my patience.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor left behind a chilling phrase, realizing that this lion was the type to take advantage if you gave it an inch.

Being too polite oneself would only make the other more presumptuous.

A demon that only attacks its own kind, and doesn’t even dare to leave the Thousand Demon Cave, has no value, no matter how strong it is.

“…”

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at the jade slip in his hand.

He had gathered nearly sixty cultivation techniques in the second layer, plus twenty jade slips, finally finding what he wanted.

[Divinity Transformation. Soul Refinement in the Secluded Abyss Technique: Uninitiated]

Indeed, the Nanyang Sect did have cultivation techniques for nurturing the Divine Soul, just that they were scarce and not systematic.

He wasn’t intending to immerse deeply in this field, just to forcibly operate a higher-level array; for now, this was enough.

With that thought, Shen Yi threw the jade slip back, “Enough with the chatter, I don’t care for your cave dwelling.”

Under the furious glare of the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor.

He left the eighth cave at a leisurely pace.

…

In the dark, foul-smelling cave.

A woman in a tunic held the neck of a deer demon tightly, her fingers sinking into its flesh, her spiritual pressure shattering its entire body.

“Don’t scream… I beg you… please don’t scream…”

Real Person Ling Xi’s face was smeared with tears, her voice was as faint as a mosquito, trembling with sobs.

She closed her eyes and buried her head in the deer demon’s fur, her shoulders shaking gently.

Real Person Ling Xi’s first venture out from the mountain, her pride of many years had been shattered by a single slap from that tiger.

Now she just wanted to survive…

She truly wished her master could appear before her.

Real Person Ling Xi knew better than anyone that the Tong Xin Chuan formation couldn’t even trap her, let alone that Tiger Demon.

Everyone was dead! Her junior sisters, her junior brothers, all were already dead!

There was no escape.

Besides shedding tears, she truly had no idea what to do next.

Sneak back to Wutong Mountain? She didn’t know how she’d face her fellow disciples, how to explain everything that happened in the Thousand Demon Cave.

Was she to fabricate a story and push all blame onto the demons?

With this thought, Ling Xi opened her eyes, her pupils filled with panic and hesitation.

After a long while, she abruptly slapped herself hard!

Smack—

The words “useless garbage” from Junior Brother Tong still echoed in her ears.

What drove Ling Xi to despair was the realization that what the other party had said was actually true; she really was utterly worthless.

Up until this moment, she was still thinking about how to salvage her dignity and face.

“Pull yourself together… Do something…”

Ling Xi swallowed her saliva, her voice trembling more and more violently.

She lowered her gaze to her palms, and began to forcefully recall the cultivation techniques she had practiced over the years, repeatedly forming hand signs.

Time passed, she didn’t know how long.

Real Person Ling Xi clenched her fists tightly, then cautiously crawled out of the cave, timidly looking up at the sky.

There was none of the poise she had before.

She crept on the ground, using all her strength to conceal her breath, casting spells, with her ears trembling slightly, capturing every sound around her.

Several hours later.

Two bird demons flew overhead, their faint conversation drifting into her ears.

Probably no demon would have imagined that a cultivator whose power matched that of the Ten Great Demon Emperors would hide in such a disgraceful manner in a place that posed no threat to her.

“Golden-Eyed Lion, Clear Thunder Pool.”

Listening to those two familiar names, Ling Xi finally slowly got up from the ground.

Again, she formed the hand signs.

Her figure instantly became much more elusive and ethereal.

She didn’t know what she was supposed to do now, but since she was in Thousand Demon Cave… killing demons was definitely not a mistake.

Real Person Ling Xi, with a frightened expression, moved further and further away from the cave’s exit. Instead, she headed towards the Clear Thunder Pool according to the descriptions given by her fellow disciples in her mind.

“Just… start with the lion…”

She stammered to herself to muster courage.

She made her way to the high cliff with utmost caution. Just as she was about to look down, she dove back into the dense bushes and used her spiritual sense to gently cover the area.

She then sensed that tall figure seated near the Thunder Plasma.

“…”

Shen Yi remained with his eyes closed.

With the help of his vestment robe, he had long since noticed the approach of a vigorous breath.

The level of strength of this breath was one of the strongest he had encountered among cultivators.

But at this moment, the actions of that powerful figure aroused a sense of peculiarity in Shen Yi’s heart.

What is she doing?

Does a full-fledged Divinity Transformation need to be so cautious to ambush a lion?

Shen Yi did not immediately move.

Facing such an existence, even the slightest carelessness could bring about a cataclysmic disaster.

He looked at the panel in front of him.

[In the two hundred and thirtieth year, with the help of Qingqiu’s ancestor, you successfully used the Clear Thunder Pool to create a Secluded Thunder Divine Soul Mansion between your soul and the Thunder Plasma, which references the Heavenly Thunder Calamity Count to temper your Divine Soul in the same way.]

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Several strands of silk wrapped in black mist softly fell down, beginning to set the Iron Sketch Silver Hook Great Formation.

A trapping formation, after all, can also be used as a defensive formation.

Not until the Great Formation was completed.

Shen Yi’s eyes filled with even more peculiarity; for such a long time, that woman hadn’t made a single move.

Forget it, he would first deduce the Soul Refinement in the Secluded Abyss to completion.

“…”

Real Person Ling Xi held her breath.

Her fellow disciples said that you should always observe the demon before making a move.

Although she didn’t know what to observe.

But as long as she followed the advice, there should be no mistake.
