Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

[Slaying the Divinity Transformation Realm Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix, total lifespan of 123,000 years, remaining lifespan of 30,300 years, absorption complete]

[Remaining Demon lifespan: 256,000 years]

Shen Yi placed the body of the Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix entirely into his Storage Treasure.

He glanced at Nie Jun, who had fallen before him, noting that the Nanyang Vestment robe on his body was in tatters, but his wounds had already healed by three or four parts, and he was in no grave danger.

Then, he looked toward a certain part of the sky.

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze and lightly tapped his chin, "Go and heal first."

"..."

Nie Jun had originally wanted to explain something, after all, in such a perilous situation he had inexplicably vanished.

He hadn't expected that the other party would not even ask about it.

He hesitated for a moment, stepped aside to make way, and sighed softly in his heart.

This was probably the biggest difference between Shen Yi and his master.

The latter had never intended to control anyone to do his bidding, it was more about letting things happen as they may — come if you're willing, don't force it if you're not — placing most of his hope in himself.

He was also too lazy to ponder the affairs of others.

If today their positions were swapped, with his master standing below and himself being taken away by Shen Yi,

his master would certainly feel a gap has formed, wishing that she could have every word said by Shen Yi reported back to her, to be at ease.

In full view of everyone.

Shen Yi then took out his Pill Furnace, which was so smeared with blood and flesh that its original color could not be discerned, and quickly walked into the first courtyard.

He had finally obtained a legitimate sample of fiery fowl demon blood.

The continuous alchemy of the previous nights had its rewards. Putting aside the pile of subpar Phoenix Pills, at least Shen Yi now had an intimate understanding of this pill recipe.

Of course, the price was that some of the Heaven and Earth Treasures from the fourth cave had been wasted.

But no matter, as long as he could leave the Nanyang Sect, these things should not be lacking.

"Tsk."

Shen Yi cleaned the Pill Furnace, and seeing the fine cracks on it, he couldn't help shaking his head.

The treasures left by the Nanyang Sect were indeed quite good.

This Pill Furnace, even after exploding so many times without breaking, and still being able to smash the short sword Precious Tool in the hands of the phoenix demon so handily, he would need to be more careful with it in the future.

And that Vestment robe given for celebrations, if it wasn't damaged.

Even if his thoughts were on alchemy, he should have sensed the phoenix demon's aura early enough to prevent her from having the chance to destroy the Great Formation.

Shen Yi skillfully took out various Heaven and Earth Treasures.

He also took out the phoenix demon blood he had extracted earlier from the bells and placed it one by one into the Pill Furnace.

The next moment, the mighty Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang entered in full!

Whether it was control of the fire temperature or the extraction of the various medicinal herbs, he had reached a masterful level.

Of course, that was limited to the Phoenix Pill.

This batch of pills took a full nineteen days to refine, just to neutralize the malevolence in the phoenix demon blood.

Until suddenly, the Pill Furnace stopped shaking.

It landed with a boom, stirring up rolling heatwaves.

Golden-red light spilled out from the cracks in the Pill Furnace, and at the same time, a calming phoenix song slowly spread.

A red pill slowly floated out of the Pill Furnace.

The size of a thumb, the pill's surface depicted a lifelike golden phoenix that seemed to be moving.

"Hmm?"

Shen Yi reached out two fingers to pinch it up and examined it closely, wondering why it was so different from the ones he had produced before, and it didn't quite match the description in the pill recipe.

Could it be a problem?

Shen Yi placed it in his mouth, and then on the panel he had opened in advance, he channeled the monster's lifespan towards the Immortal Phoenix True Body, pouring it in.

"[In the first year, you swallowed the Heavenly Phoenix Pill, with the hope of merging the vast aura within, along with the essence blood of the Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix and dozens of precious Precious Medicines, into your body.]

"[In the seventeenth year, you successfully digested the medicinal power and absorbed the Great Pill into your spiritual body. Next is the long process of refining the Monster Blood.]

Looking at the tips on the panel.

Shen Yi decided to let it project for now and took out the previously prepared demon flesh and blood.

Spending twenty thousand years of lifespan, he condensed two Demon Town Stones.

As they finished consuming the flesh and blood, the eyeless ferocious beast in the center of the eyebrows' Golden Bead and the statuette of the soaring Xuan Feng swiftly took shape.

The minor demons could be ignored, but it was definitely a good deal to reconstruct the two Great Demons, the phoenix demon and Shen Feng.

One after another, the cores of the Demon Origin were fed to them.

Shen Feng actually consumed seven origins to become complete.

In comparison, the phoenix demon was a bit of a surprise to Shen Yi. This Great Demon, fully transformed in Divinity, only required one origin?

After feeding it so many times.

Shen Yi had some experience; the main use of the Demon Origin was to help the Demon Soul reconstruct consciousness. The longer a demon lived, the stronger its soul, and the more origins it needed.

The Divine Soul of this ninety-thousand-year-old phoenix demon was surprisingly weak, almost comparable to Qinghua's.

If he had known this earlier, he would have saved the trouble of using the Imperial Demon Gold Arrow and could have killed it directly with Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang.

Shen Yi inserted the two Demon Souls into the Town Stones.

Instantly, the previously dull stone statues were imbued with color.

At this moment, there seemed to be progress in the projection on the panel.

Suddenly, Shen Yi felt that after consuming so many Phoenix Pills, the accumulated medicinal power within his spiritual body seemed to be led by a phoenix, guiding them to wander inside his body.

Continuously washing through his limbs and bones.

"[In the thirty-seventh hundredth year, you absorbed all the medicinal power and digested that strand of Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix's essence blood. Using the methods recorded in the Immortal Phoenix True Body, you started the breakthrough.]

"[In the seventy-sixth hundredth year, nearly ten thousand years of accumulation finally bore fruit, and you were like a phoenix roaming the nine heavens, traveling the four seas.]

"[Reverting Void. Immortal Phoenix True Body: Minor Accomplishment]

In an instant, all the golden light on Shen Yi began to converge, and at the center of the Dao Infant's Five Organs, it transformed into a golden phoenix egg, surrounded by a ring of red flames.

It trembled slightly with Shen Yi's breath, life intertwining, closely related.

It was as if he had obtained a second life.

The golden light finally stopped being superficial but became internalized, connecting the Dao Infant's Five Organs and limbs and bones, becoming a part of Shen Yi.

"Sigh."

Shen Yi was not satisfied with just this and continued to channel his lifespan into the Immeasurable Demon Emperor Palace.

"[In the first year, you placed the two Town Stone statuettes into the Dao Palace, learning new Divine Skills through the demon bloodlines.]

"[Ten Thousand Demons Worship: Red Sun]

"[In the seventy-second year, you discovered that the bloodlines of the Shen Feng Demon Emperor and the Gold-winged Nine-Striped Demon Emperor had something in common and attempted to combine the two Divine Skills.]

"[Ten Thousand Demons Worship: Golden Wind Soul Capture]

"[Your Dao Palace has become more stable.]

"[Remaining monster lifespan: fourteen million, eight thousand three hundred years.]

Now that there are four Town Stone statuettes in the Dao Palace, aside from deriving new Divine Skills, Shen Yi does not know for the time being what else they can be used for.

Perhaps only by leaving the Nanyang Sect and experiencing a broader world would he be able to comprehend more.

This time, he had truly come to the end of the path.

Shen Yi slowly got up and walked towards the door.
