Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

He found it hard to imagine there would be a cultivator he had never met,

who could endure the pain of an Imperial Demon Gold Arrow, and walk up to face Shen Feng, the Demon Emperor, to rescue himself.

No need for swords or soldiers, he could simply shout a command and send the Great Demon Emperor of the second cave into retreat.

Right now, he was truly itching for a fight.

This urge to challenge the opposition even surpassed the temptation of delicious food.

...

At the broken doorway, Shen Yi sat down carelessly on the floor.

Seeing this, the others no longer stood on ceremony and found favored spots to sit around the courtyard, by the flower stand, under the locust tree, filling up the space.

In such a lighthearted atmosphere,

Shen Yi slowly spoke a sentence that left everyone frozen in their places.

"The Thousand Demon Cave is going mad, prepare yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao'an subconsciously glanced at the small stool beneath him. Shouldn't these matters be discussed in the grand hall of the Martial Temple, with the other party seated solemnly at the altar and themselves standing reverently below, discussing slowly?

What kind of madness had the Thousand Demon Cave contracted?

It was a top-tier force in the world, its status unshakable.

As Wu Dao'an's thoughts were racing, he suddenly noticed the people from Wutong Mountain standing up in succession, and finally, it was Tong Xin'chuan who asked timidly, "How many of them died?"

Shen Yi pondered for a moment, "More than twenty, I didn't count exactly."

That casual remark struck the Wutong Mountain party like a bolt of lightning.

Miao Qinghui asked blankly, "Including the Demon Kings?"

Shen Yi shook his head lightly.

It was Qinghua who had killed more Demon Kings; he himself had no time to tally such matters.

Their strange conversation reached the ears of others.

The Xu Family patriarch swallowed hard, looking at Xu Hongde with a dazed expression. He thought, "Are they talking about a Demon Emperor?"

The Thousand Demon Cave altogether had forty or fifty Demon Emperors, and now half of them were dead?

Ling Xi, the true person, leaned towards Jiang Qiulan, trying her best to hide her trembling.

When they were rescued, Shen Yi was alone facing five Great Demon Emperors, and now he had returned in such a manner, even less than half a day later than them.

Doesn't it mean... among those twenty or so lives, there were also a few Great Demon Emperors?

They say that Nie Jun is like a god of slaughter.

The previous pursuit of the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor was a widely known uproar.

In comparison, Shen Yi had silently slaughtered half, and until this moment, if he had not spoken himself, the others would have had no reaction at all.

The Thousand Demon Cave is not just going mad.

This is clearly a fight to the death!

"Officer Shen, what should we do?"

Tong Xin'chuan finally understood the dangers they were about to face.

If everything Shen Yi said was accurate,

then the Thousand Demon Cave no longer had the power to garrison the cultivators' dwellings and certainly couldn't continue to wait for death within the cave.

If the demons leave the cave, a catastrophe will befall humanity.

It really was coming.

Shen Yi looked towards the Xu family and nodded slightly, "I would trouble you to further complete the Jiuzhou Formation."

"We obey the command!"

Xu Hongde bowed and accepted the order.

"Brother Zhu, has the Huashen Pill been distributed?" Shen Yi turned to look at the two from the Martial Temple.

"It has been distributed, but they've been dormant for too long and have lost their edge. They're all adjusting their mentality to ensure no pill is wasted," Zhu Jue stood up and replied.

"No matter, take it first."

Shen Yi softly said, "There's more if it's not enough."

After reaping the remaining Precious Medicines from the entire spiritual plant garden, he didn't dare to claim anything else, but there was still an ample supply of Huashen Pills.

After arranging everything,

Shen Yi finally stood up and looked towards the people of Wutong Mountain.

Headed by Nie Jun, all seven were within the Great Qian Imperial City.

"I will contact the other brothers and sisters," said Tong Xin'chuan as he looked up.

They had never cared about the people below the mountain because they were more aware of the situation within the Nanyang Sect.

No matter what kind of demon, the moment the Sect Protection Formation activated, there would be someone to deal with it.

Their only duty was to break through to the Return to Void Realm and enter the Thousand Demon Cave with the Dao Plate.

But now,

it seemed there was no need for other cultivators to act; just with those from their own sect, they already had the opportunity to deal with these demons.

"Thank you."

Shen Yi nodded his chin.

With his current strength, as long as the old dog didn't make a move, he nearly feared no ambush from any demon.

But Great Qian was different.

There were far too many ordinary people here, spread over an area so vast that even a Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator couldn't protect everyone.

From the very beginning, when it was only for Incense Willpower, Shen Yi finally wanted to reach out to prevent what was coming, rather than forcefully suppressing his emotions.

```

But standing behind him were no longer the Liu Family father and daughter, but countless common folk.

It was just another dog in the way.

He had never dared to stop his steps, all for the sake of achieving insight.

"Thank me for what?"

Tong Xin'chuan chuckled at himself and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, you've protected us more than once."

Upon hearing this, the greatest reaction came from the Martial Temple.

Wu Dao'an's mouth fell open, staring in disbelief, "That Demon Emperor is Brother Shen?"

The freshly proclaimed Great Demon Emperor that had stirred up a commotion these past days had actually come from the Great Qian.

Tsk! It really was Brother Shen, always the most dazzling one no matter where he went, even if he became a demon, he would be among the strongest.

...

After learning that the disciples of Wutong Mountain would help garrison the lands of Jiuzhou.

The Martial Temple likewise spared no etiquette and set up a grand banquet to see everyone off, choosing the grand hall of the Martial Temple so that the old and dazed ancestor might feel somewhat involved.

Shen Yi, as usual, did not attend the feast.

He had more important things to do.

The strike from the dog's paw before made him realize the gap between himself and a true Return to Void Realm.

The adversary didn't dare to come out, not because of any restrictions.

According to the information he had at hand, the old dog was more wary of the Dao Plate in Wutong Mountain's possession, fearing a scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountains.

Placing his life in the hands of a canine's obsession.

That was something he couldn't accept.

The purple-golden palm-sized furnace floated in the air, slowly spinning, Shen Yi spread his palms, and the Colorless Detachment Fire flowed continuously into the pill furnace.

Heavenly Phoenix Pill.

This pill recipe was specifically meant for cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Undying Body.

Only after completing the Divine Sparrow Nirvana could one withstand such fierce medicinal strength.

After all, it was an elixir that involved the Return to Void Realm, the precious medicines used were incomparably valuable and varied in kind.

Even if Shen Yi had completely scavenged the fourth cave, he could only barely scrape together about sixty or seventy percent of them.

Fortunately, Wutong Mountain had a rich foundation.

With the combined efforts of several fellow disciples, although they couldn't produce the exact medicinal herbs recorded in the recipe, they managed to find a rough substitute with other precious treasures of similar medicinal properties.

What was lacking in the end was the beast essence blood that matched the compatibility.

A fire-attributed fowl demon of the Return to Void Realm, not to mention other places, the entire Nanyang Sect couldn't find such a creature.

Shen Yi wasn't picky.

Since the precious medicines were replaced with other things, he simply selected some Primordial Realm Monster Blood from the armory as a substitution.

He didn't care if the medicinal effect was compromised.

As long as the pill was produced and in large quantities, Shen Yi dared to consume it, his body already riddled with elixir poisoning, what's another itch when you are already covered in lice.

"Hurry up, how to refine it."

Facing the master's question, Qingqiu's old ancestor and Profound Darkness Spider Emperor both trembled in unison.

They were somewhat proficient in pill refining.

But with almost half of the ingredients changed, could what they refined still be the item recorded in the pill recipe?

Moreover, considering their master's pill refining skills...

"..."

The Great Qian was extremely lively tonight.

Inside the Martial Temple, sounds of toasting and drinking were incessant, and from time to time, breaths of heaven and earth soared to the skies, tinting the night.

It was the birth of one Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator after another.

This spectacle, never before seen in Great Qian, shocked the people of the Imperial City.

As if to celebrate with them, next door in the Martial Temple First Court, violent flashes of light shot up into the sky, turning into a sea of stars, the dense medicinal potency spreading, more intoxicating than fine wine.

Not until the medicinal potency turned into a rain of fire did Nie Jun realize something was amiss. He put down his large jug, the Mysterious Sword flew out of his sleeve, and intercepted the various medicinal ingredients ablaze and plummeting.

Leaving the grand hall, he walked slowly into the First Court.

There he saw Shen Yi sitting cross-legged on the ground, his demeanor calm, his black robe fluttering as if he were a transcendent senior.

With a wave of his hand...

The pill furnace in front of him exploded once again!

Boom!

In such a startling scene, Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, skillfully adding more ingredients into the furnace for another round.

In a place unseen by Nie Jun.

Qingqiu's old ancestor and Profound Abyss Spider Emperor were shivering, clutching their heads.

This terrifying spectacle suddenly reminded Qingqiu's old ancestor how their master practiced formations.

They had a premonition that if their master failed again, their own lives might be at risk.

As if heaven decided to show mercy to the two demons.

After an indefinite period, the pill furnace spun a few times and finally landed with success.

With its opening...

A fierce bird's cry echoed through the sky, a surge of flames shot out from the furnace, eventually solidifying into a round pill covered with fire patterns.

Shen Yi swiftly captured it in his hand, feeling its burning sensation.

He had succeeded.
