Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"Actually, there's no need to pay much attention to it, just disperse them with some time."

Jiang Qiulan had ample experience in this regard, after all, she was a martial artist who commanded the incense willpower of an entire prefecture while practicing the Way of the Primordial Chaos.

The former Demon-suppression Great General of Yushan Prefecture had fallen, and to this day, there was still no suitable candidate.

"Disperse..."

Shen Yi's eyes flickered with light, picking up on his previous idea again, "The Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivators enshrined in the Martial Temple, are they only limited to the Imperial City area, or can the scope be expanded to the entire Great Qian Dynasty?"

He wanted to clarify this matter, because if it was the former, then he might as well honestly disperse it.

Although Jiang Qiulan didn't practice Cultivation of the Yin Spirit, she had heard of it, "As far as I know, there's no such restriction for the Golden Body Dharma Identity, unless the golden body is shattered, and it needs to be reformed using the incense willpower in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, an unusual glint crossed Shen Yi's eyes.

His idea was actually quite simple, since it was all about embracing the pill to nurture the spirit, nurturing one was as viable as nurturing a pair.

At most, it was about cramming the Dao Infant and the Yin Spirit together.

For others, focusing on a single path and striving to breakout within the limited lifespan was naturally the course of action.

But for himself, utilizing the lifespan of demons, as long as he slew enough, the difficulties would naturally resolve themselves.

The tricky part was the issue of spiritual sense.

If one were a Primordial Grandmaster going on to nurture a Yin Spirit, there would not be spare spiritual sense to give to it.

However, he could attempt to reform a demonic spirit using what was called the Demon Origin and merge it into the Yin Spirit.

Even if he failed, it was nothing more than wasting the incense willpower that was already unusable to him.

Moreover, according to previous experiences, the demons he personally slew could even help deduce cultivation techniques, hence the description of the Demon Origin, about being enslaved for eternity and unable to transcend... Most likely wasn't an exaggeration.

Of course, the focus was still on the Primordial Martial Arts.

Shen Yi always felt that the Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator in the Martial Temple seemed a bit senile, and moreover, he wasn't keen on walking the world in the guise of a golden body.

"Any other questions?"

Jiang Qiulan waited patiently, "If there's anything you need help with, don't be polite."

"Hmm..." Shen Yi pondered for a moment, looking at her, "Could you lend me some Demon Cores for now?"

"Sure." Jiang Qiulan nodded, her hand brushed past her waist, and about a dozen Condensation Elixir Completion Demon Cores lay quietly on the table.

"This is all I have on me, and it should be sufficient for you to conjure a Dao Seed."

She had previously witnessed firsthand him using demonic power, and even the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique was recommended by her, so naturally, she knew what Shen Yi would do with the Demon Cores.

As for the possibility that he might be a transformed demon...

Being able to walk out alive from the Martial Temple already spoke volumes.

"I'll repay you the next time we meet."

Shen Yi wasn't overly courteous, taking all the Demon Cores into the silver bell.

Currently swamped with demon lifespan, he urgently needed to find a few Embrace Pill Realm demons to discuss life with, and to be on the safe side, it was definitely better to enhance as much as possible.

"It's all right, I nourish the Dao Infant with the Profound Ice Seven Kills Sword Intent and converge the Primordial Limitless Sword Body, so I no longer need these things."

Jiang Qiulan slowly rose to her feet and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, General Chen instructed me before leaving to tell you that if you're free after your return, you should look for him in Linjiang Prefecture... I'll be leaving now."

"Hmm."

Shen Yi nodded.

If he had time, that meant he didn't.

Linjiang Prefecture was home to a bunch of old Jiaolongs hiding in the Yangchun River; unless they came out, he'd have to keep searching indefinitely.

After Jiang Qiulan left the yard.

He retrieved a breath from the silver bell, the one he had gotten from Jiang Chengyun, belonging to General You Longtao.

If he remembered correctly, the last time he passed through Tingyang City, he heard that there were three Embrace Pill Realm demons there; that was a much better deal than looking for Patriarch Chen.

With this thought, Shen Yi got up and closed the door.

He poured himself a warm cup of water and only then opened the panel, satisfaction in his eyes as he looked at the lifespan that stretched ten thousand years.

He didn't expect to go to the Capital City with ten thousand years in hand and still manage to bring it all back.

How long would it take to spend it all?

[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 10,047 years]

```

He channeled the demon's lifespan into the Heaven-Devouring Elixir for absorption.

Previously, the Fiendish External Elixir still carried the cultivation level of the Fox Demon, and he decided to exhaust this resource before proceeding.

[In the first year, you manipulate the internal Heaven-Devouring Elixir to devour the cultivation within the external elixir completely. With keen interest, you operated the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique, beginning to congeal the Dao Seed. This task requires great patience and meticulous care, which, coincidentally, you are in no short supply of.]

The moment the prompt appeared.

Shen Yi discovered that the Fiendish External Elixir in his sea of qi was drained, and its vicious demonic power dyed the inner core dark red.

The lifespan of the demon rapidly declined.

The in-panel prompt was indeed accurate; he truly had patience, not voicing a single complaint from beginning to end.

Watching as the demon's lifespan decreased by one hundred and twelve years, he finally gathered all the demonic power together.

Clearly, a Condensation Elixir Completion level of cultivation was not enough to directly step into the Embrace Pill Realm, and the gap was not small.

According to this progress, approximately nine more repetitions were needed for the Dao Seed to fully take shape.

"But..."

Shen Yi put down his cup and suddenly felt something was amiss.

Jiang Qiulan had said that Patriarch Chen embedded the divine seed at two hundred years old, successfully advancing to the Embrace Pill Realm. By over eight hundred years old, he had nurtured the divine fetus, which was already a display of extremely poor aptitude.

But according to the current prompt, did it mean that he would need more than a thousand years just to embed the Dao Seed?

If he relied solely on himself, wouldn't his lifespan be exhausted before entering the Embrace Pill Realm?

"..."

It was probably also due to the difficulty of the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique. Moreover, Patriarch Chen had taken the Yin God Shortcut, so how could he be compared to someone like himself, who pursued the Primordial Martial Arts?

Shen Yi took out another complete Demon Core. Now wealthy and imposing, he directly spent a year of the demon's lifespan to swallow it, seeing if he could stimulate any innate talent.

However, aside from the Fiendish External Elixir getting its fill, nothing else happened.

The sole function of the external elixir was to help absorb demonic power and then feed it to the Heaven-Devouring inner elixir.

The lifespan of the demon continued to decrease.

A crimson light spot gradually appeared in the Heaven-Devouring inner elixir.

While congealing the Dao Seed was difficult, there were at least traces to follow, so it did not generate too much negative emotion.

He ingested one demon core after another.

[In the eight hundred and seventy-third year, you devoured the inner core of a Golden-Haired Rat Demon, absorbing the impurities within, and gained the innate talent of Spiritual Treasure Perception.]

[Spiritual Treasure Perception: You possess a keen sense that others cannot match towards heaven-earth treasures, always able to discover precious items hidden beneath an ordinary facade.]

Yet another talent without a realm prefix.

It's better than nothing.

Shen Yi redirected his focus back to the Heaven-Devouring inner elixir.

He saw the crimson light spot become more solid, and web-like veins began to spread nearby.

Until the ninth demon core was ingested.

[In the one thousand three hundred and seventy-year, you successfully embedded the Demonic Fiend Dao Seed, advancing into the Embrace Pill Realm.]

[Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique reaches minor completion.]

[Remaining demon lifespan: Eight thousand six hundred and seventy-seven years.]

In that instant, vibrant vitality burst forth within the inner core!

The crimson light spot actually began to pulsate, almost like a beating heart.

At the same time, the strong and ferocious demonic power surged tumultuously within the inner core, even showing signs of overflowing!

Without any hesitation, Shen Yi mobilized the Sun Melting Furnace and forcefully hammered down the suppressive force!

In just an instant, the crimson light spot was suppressed without any resistance.

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes, his aura appearing so wild and robust!

Even though he fully engaged the turtle-breathing technique, he could only keep it contained within the confines of the house, preventing it from spreading further.

This was a power he had never experienced before.

In the face of this demonic power, even the previously accomplished Fiendish inner elixir seemed like a laughably trivial object.
