Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1271 - 760: The Struggle at Kaiyuan Prefecture_2

Shen Yi felt the Emperor’s Aura suddenly become rich.

He slightly lowered his eyes, extending his palm, and soon, more than thirty Hundred Tribulations Golden Pills were formed in front of him.

This was the first time Shen Yi had ever touched the Emperor’s Aura of the Divine Dynasty.

In the past, building temples and shrines was absolutely forbidden in Shen Zhou. Even if one could achieve what General Nanyang did, saving an entire continent single-handedly, and gaining great fame with the help of the Demon Slayer Bureau, their status would still be a Divine General of the Imperial Court. The incense and Emperor’s Aura would ultimately fall into the hands of the Human Emperor.

Even if some could be shared, it would certainly be just a very small portion.

Furthermore, it was all for saving the Southern Continent, so how could he take the Emperor’s Aura used to protect the people?

But now the situation was different. The North Continent had already fallen, and even if Shen Yi didn’t take the Emperor’s Aura here, it would eventually end up in the hands of those Immortals.

Only by experiencing it firsthand could he understand why these Immortals were so mad for it.

When the Emperor’s Aura was in the hands of the Imperial Court, it was taken from the people and used for the people, nothing seemed special about it. But if it fell into an individual’s hands, its abundance became apparent.

The small Heavenly Tower Mountain, which occupied only one-fifth of a prefecture, could gather over three thousand tribulations with just this one demon catastrophe!

Stretching this over millions of years, this place was not merely a dojo. It was evidently an Immortal Elixir and Divine Medicine that allowed one to ascend and break free from the realms.

"Phew."

Shen Yi put away the Emperor’s Aura Golden Pills, lightly floating back to the peak of Heavenly Tower Mountain.

There was not much joy on his face.

It happened that monks from Sumeru Mountain assisted, and the timing of killing Ling Su was too coincidental, causing the changes Shen Yi awaited to come even faster than he expected.

The problem now was, he had yet to grasp the strength of this change.

Reaching the Bodhisattva Fruit Position of the Extreme Nine-Nine Changes, he could certainly be considered top-tier among the disciples of the North Continent, having the strength to compete with other Heavenly Pride, but in the current situation, revealing his Dharma Aspect would mean certain death with no other outcome.

Possessing numerous Magic Artifacts, all of which were ill-gotten gains.

The cultivation that could be shown on the surface... was not even at the Three-Three Transformation of the Divine Void Dao Fruit.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Shenxu Ancestor secretly helping, just the White Ape King today would have given Shen Yi a headache.

[Slayed the Third Grade White Ape King, Total Lifespan of Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining lifespan absorbed: 8,800 Tribulations]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 9,100 Tribulations]

When he first arrived at Heavenly Tower Mountain, Shen Yi had poured all his savings from the Southern Continent into the Divine Void Dao Skill, allowing the Dao Fruit to accumulate a total of eighteen strands of Heavenly Dao Order Origin.

Counting the current Demon Lifespan, plus the Emperor’s Aura Golden Pills just obtained, it was about time to consider entering the next transformation.

Shen Yi closed his eyes and immersed himself in inner vision.

Upon reaching the Third Grade, the Divine Void Dao Fruit turned into a tangible wind, swirling around the Bodhisattva Fruit Position, endlessly battering the sitting Golden Body.

Clearly, the Power of Void Transformation and the Protecting Tao Power were mutually exclusive.

However, the Golden Body’s cultivation far surpassed the Dao Fruit, making it unaffected.

But as they continued side-by-side, the problem would only grow larger.

"Got to make this wind stop." Shen Yi pondered for a long time, manipulating invisible threads, gradually integrating them into the raging Shen Feng.

As strands of Order Origin merged in, the Shen Feng gradually became heavy, the rustling sound silently disappeared, and it began to take on color.

It was the gray of desolation, like the Taixu Realm.

The wind turned into a thin mist, like a layer of hazy gauze, lightly covering the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, as if Shen Yi’s current situation, needing to cover up the glaring Jin Guang.

He had no direction for the Divine Void Path yet, but at least he had to change the mutually exclusive situation.

"..."

Looking at the originally shimmering Golden Body, now covered in a gray kasaya-like appearance.

Shen Yi almost laughed at himself while cultivating.

It was just a helpless laugh.

The path treaded by sheer coincidence seemed to be becoming more diverged.

He was actually trying to forcibly merge two completely opposite Heavenly Dao Orders into one path, not knowing if the eventual outcome would... unite the Dao Fruit and Fruit Position into one.

Compared to this, the probability of going insane seemed higher.

However, Shen Yi had no other method now. Even if he had a master, however, if he were to apprentice under a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the latter learned of his peculiar situation, the advice given might not be useful.

He opened his eyes and looked at a small thing bouncing towards him—it was a lump of rotten flesh with two antennae like short legs, scurrying briskly, without the slightest dignity of the former Southern Emperor.

"My lord, I found it!"

With a slap, the Southern Emperor fell to the ground, and then extended two small antennae, presenting its findings like a contribution.

"Get up."

Shen Yi nodded slightly. He had only brought Shenxu Ancestor and the Southern Emperor, these two Third Grade Town Stones. The former needed to act for him in public, and the latter couldn’t stay idle.

Heavenly Tower Mountain was too small; relying solely on the Emperor’s Aura here, it was unknown how long it would take to deduce the Divine Void Fruit Position to the extreme of the Nine-Nine Changes.

Therefore, Shen Yi still set his sights on the Demon Lifespan.

Since the Immortals needed to use Great Demons to harvest the Emperor’s Aura and guard against sudden attacks from other sect members, these Great Demons would surely reside near the dojo.

For instance, True Master Shu Yu from the nearby Qingguang Cave.

The Southern Emperor wasn’t as convenient as Shenxu Ancestor, but with its high cultivation, finding these Great Demons was still easy.

"How many?" Shen Yi stood up.

"Reporting to my lord, a total of four." The Southern Emperor said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, even with Shen Yi’s steady disposition, his eyelid couldn’t help but twitch slightly.

One must know, in the Southern Continent, when so many Bodhisattvas took action, even robbing people from True Gods, they only gathered a total of eight Demon Venerables.

In the North Continent, a small disciple, yet had half that number under his command?

However, thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the Bodhi Sect didn’t have many restrictions. Many Great Demons after achieving high cultivation joined directly, securing a place in Southern Sumeru, becoming Pilgrim Bodhisattvas.

Compared to the North Continent, the path for these Great Demons was very limited. Not every demon was willing to be someone’s child; since they couldn’t obtain the followers’ status, they might as well become free Demon Kings.

But even so, those like Ling Su couldn’t afford to raise Great Demons and had to borrow from Mao Feng, showing how wealthy Master Shu Yu was.

"Let’s go, take a look."

Shen Yi became interested, stood up, and stepped into Taixu.

...

North Continent, Qingguang Cave.

Still the smoke-filled hall, but compared to last time, True Master Yun Miao was much more relaxed, no longer so proud.

After all, he was now half a member of Qingguang Cave.

"True Master Yun Miao, you aren’t joking, are you?"

Master Shu Yu smiled and raised his eyebrow: "That person occupying Heavenly Tower Mountain, you now say has nothing to do with Lingxu Cave?"

"It was only for Qingguang Master Uncle’s sake that I kindly took him in. Who would have thought he was an ambitious wolf, incorrigibly rebellious." True Master Yun Miao looked indifferent: "The news of Junior Sister Ling Su’s fall just returned, and he had her statue removed immediately, wasting no time in establishing the Tai Xu True Monarch Temple. Such actions truly chill the heart."

Hearing this, even the Crane Child outside the hall, knowing Yun Miao’s nature, couldn’t say more on this matter.

"From the south, and a disciple of the Insect Demon, how could Yun Miao expect him to have high cultivation and elegance like us?"

Master Shu Yu shook his head, his eyes showing another meaning.

He glanced at the meditative Senior Sister in front: "Heavenly Tower Mountain falling into his hands is not only a pity but also unbearable. Even for Junior Sister Ling Su, we must take it back."

Halfway through, Master Shu Yu quickly added: "It’s just right; Junior Sister Yuchi and Junior Brother Shen Mountain also need a dojo."

The Senior Sister was now responsible for investigating the affairs of the Bodhi Sect and had been avoiding confrontation, so he raised the needs of the two Southern Continent cultivators.

Unexpectedly, that humble Junior Sister Yuchi, who usually seemed meek, refused immediately whenever it involved this matter, even in public.

Master Shu Yu’s face changed slightly, looking back; his eyes grew fierce.

He stared at the old woman, but she remained deferent and unyielding.

Master Shu Yu pressed his lips slightly and directed his gaze to Shen Mountain Ancestor beside him.
