Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1297 - 772: Achieving Greatness, Not Sweating the Small Stuff
Chapter 1297: Chapter 772: Achieving Greatness, Not Sweating the Small Stuff
Having acquired the Great Skill and obtained a Spiritual Treasure.
Shen Yi rose and left the Taoist temple.
Both were tactful enough not to be bound by the formalities of the mentor-disciple relationship, as long as appearances were maintained.
For a Golden Immortal with an infinite lifespan, unless facing a special situation like a great tribulation, the passage of time is meaningless.
Even if Ling Xuzi truly didn’t favor Yun Miao and wanted to choose another disciple to inherit his teachings, he would rather find a new child and train from the Qi Cultivation stage than try to influence a Daluo Immortal who has experienced countless things with so-called master-disciple affection.
Thus, Shen Yi need not display any so-called filial piety, as long as he fulfills the duties required during the tribulation.
"..."
He glanced at the Non-action Sword at his waist, finding this arrangement aligns with his own intentions.
After all, even if it were his master, on the day when there’s no need to hide behind the identity of a great sect, he would still have to cut if necessary.
After arriving in the North Continent and witnessing these changes with his own eyes, Shen Yi realized he could never align with these great sects.
No, they are high and mighty immortals, not really human.
Mortals all seek to ask about immortality and the Tao, chasing eternal life, yet it’s as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But upon truly arriving at this threshold, Shen Yi suddenly realized it was even harder to simply be a human than to become an immortal, yet he still wanted to try.
Shen Yi casually put the Non-action Sword into his Finger Ring and then stepped into the Taixu Realm.
He once dreamed of being clad in white as pure as snow, bearing a sword and leading a horse, because wherever he went, he was called Demon Lord Shen, cherishing the indelible chivalrous spirit rather than those pretentious disguises.
Returning to Heavenly Tower Mountain.
A group of disciples responsible for relief efforts all stopped their actions, looking at the figure before them.
Clearly, the scene of the Grandmaster personally arriving at Kaiyuan Prefecture to discipline Senior You Yao had long since left this group of Lingxu Cave disciples in awe.
If before, they obeyed the Imperial Edict from the Tai Xu True Monarch out of fear, now all the disciples wore expressions of reverence.
Now, this True Monarch is honestly a junior master uncle.
And his actions naturally represent the whole of Lingxu Cave... Once, even this small piece of land on Heavenly Tower Mountain needed the charity of other seniors within the sect, now this lineage of theirs has the foundation to compete with Qingguang Cave!
"We salute Tai Xu Master Uncle!"
"..."
Shen Yi nodded lightly and sat on the mountain peak.
He closed his eyes, and in his mind were two Daoist Scriptures.
One of them is a method to complement the Non-action Sword, passed down from a lineage of the Upper Pure Sect Leader, called the Qingxin Realm. Mastering it would complete his final missing piece.
However, Shen Yi’s focus was entirely on the other scripture.
[Second Grade. Jade Chen Treasure Decree: Not Entered]
This was the last stepping stone on the path to immortality.
With the infusion of Demon Lifespan, Shen Yi gradually grasped it.
The Dao is fifty, and one escapes.
And by escaping one, it has evolved into all the laws of the world, leading those extraordinary beings to explore and eventually glimpse the tip of this "one".
Whether it’s the Three Purities and Five Emperors or the Nine True Buddhas, the Great Skills they deduce are from various angles to observe this ice mountain.
Then they think of a way to send themselves inside.
Shen Yi lifted his head and saw the myriad threads quietly emerging in the empty Sky Curtain, and moments later, two of them subtly flickered, the faint glow seemingly representing the paths he once trod, stretching to the unseen end.
Meanwhile, his Dao Fruit and Fruit Position suddenly trembled violently, with an impulse to detach from his body.
Even when gathered by Tribulation Power, the two are ultimately lifeless.
It’s not them being stirred... but himself.
Shen Yi expressionlessly bit his lip forcefully, until drawing blood, to control the slight trembling throughout his body.
This is the terrifying allure of the great Dao!
The light from two Dao paths is so remote. During the process of sending himself into it, even a slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the Dao Fruit.
To avoid risks, one must prepare sufficient Tribulation Power in advance.
And his Dao Fruit and Fruit Position were already an inseparable whole; to send them in, he would need double... a full two hundred thousand tribulations!
"Phew." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Shen Yi took out the Non-action Sword and flicked his finger on the blade. It would be good if he could extract the Tribulation Power from this thing.
But unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking.
He sighed lightly. It’s not yet time to gamble with his life. If he failed to prove the Dao, he would truly have to, as the Human Emperor suggested, find a deep mountain forest to hide away in.
Even if luck was on his side, allowing him to live safely until his cultivation was regained, the world outside would have become unrecognizable by then.
Shen Yi decisively shifted his focus to the Pure Realm and the Non-action Sword.
As long as he holds Kaiyuan Prefecture, the Demon Lifespan and Tribulation Power will eventually be gathered.
"Tsk."
The Southern Emperor and Shenxu Ancestor exchanged glances within the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, yet neither dared to speak up.
Even though surrounded by enemies and pursued by the Pure World Bodhisattva, having personally witnessed a part of the great Dao, any other cultivator would have lost their composure, for instance, perhaps tormenting a few to stir up some storms within Kaiyuan Prefecture.
This vast One Mansion of land has been resting for quite a while; a bit harsher action should yield three to five thousand tribulations.
Afterward, one could even use the excuse of minor lapses for major righteousness to soothe their Dao Heart.
