Chapter 139: Freedom Riding the Wind Technique, Southern Guest Immortal
【Slaughtered a Condensation Core Perfection Peacock Demon with a total lifespan of 6,100 years, 1,726 years of remaining lifespan, absorption complete.】
【Slaughtered a Core Formation Peacock Demon with a total lifespan of 5,000 years, 807 years of remaining lifespan, absorption complete.】
【Slaughtered a Seed Core Peacock Demon with a total lifespan of 4,000 years, 2,820 years of remaining lifespan, absorption complete.】
【Remaining Demon lifespan: 5,837 years】
...
The others were busy inside the secluded valley.
Shen Yi casually found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and opened the panel, reviewing the previous prompts.
These Peacocks were clearly not ordinary creatures, as their lifespans far exceeded those of other demons of the same realm.
Shen Yi spread out a thin booklet in front of him and flipped through it until he reached the last page.
In addition to the demon's lifespan and demon core, there were also changes in the martial arts section.
【Condensation Core. Freedom Riding the Wind Technique: Not Yet Initiated】
【Condensation Core. Two-Element True Intent: Not Yet Initiated】
The former was Yan Xingkong's prowess in Qingzhou, while the latter came from a casual glance earlier.
The two old Daoists were not bad; at least they didn't hesitate when taking action.
For such a powerful demon, there must be other valuable items besides the demon core. Later, he could take out a portion as compensation, so it wouldn't be like taking their things for nothing.
Perhaps it was because he was used to body tempering cultivation.
Now, whenever he saw such abstruse martial arts, Shen Yi couldn't help but recall the feelings he had when previously deducing the Fourfold True Aura and Severing Veins and Capturing Dragon.
He shook his head subconsciously and decided to cultivate Immortal Demon Nine Transformations first. Although it was a long process, the benefits were extremely stable.
Placing the fully condensed Peacock demon core into his mouth, an immense demon's lifespan flowed into him.
【In the first year, you mobilize the intent of death, crushing the Moon Lord's consciousness...】
This process had been repeated many times, and there was hardly any surprise, except for the issue of how much demon lifespan was consumed.
Shen Yi simply retracted his gaze and carefully sensed the changes within his body.
He could clearly feel another consciousness awakening within his flesh, as if it had sensed something amiss and began to frantically flee.
Until it was surrounded by the intent of death.
As the demon's lifespan decreased, that consciousness slowly faded away.
【In the 203rd year, the Moon Lord's consciousness dissipates, and you begin to attempt the Celestial Demon's fourth transformation.】
Following this, the demon core in his mouth gradually dissolved, and new power gradually condensed within his body.
The rate of demon lifespan depletion became increasingly astonishing.
Seven hundred years... fourteen hundred years... two thousand years...
Until a high-pitched peacock cry resounded in his mind, and this power was finally restrained within his body.
【In the 2,430th year, another ferocious demon emerges within your body, far more malevolent than the previous one.】
【Transform into the Southern Guest Immortal, Spirit Bird Descends Jade Terrace, Azure Feather Splits Mountains, Crimson Feather Fleshes White Bones, Mind Intent to Kill, Causes Souls to Tremble, Mind Intent to Compassion, Makes All Things Spring Again.】
This advancement wasn't as shocking as the previous one, but it made Shen Yi truly feel like he had crossed that threshold.
Although it was only the Celestial Demon's fourth transformation, he still had two more to go before mastering the martial art.
However, it allowed his physical body to completely surpass the level of Core Formation demons, and now it was truly comparable to a Condensation Core Perfection demon.
"..."
Shen Yi closed his eyes slightly, with his palms spread out on his knees.
A green light danced in his right palm, and a red glow shone in his left.
Two completely opposite forces circulated throughout his body, and with a thought, he activated the red glow. His previously sore arms from drawing the bow instantly recovered, and the fatigue from days of running at full speed disappeared.
He let out a soft breath, marveling at the profound abilities of the demon beast.
A sharp azure light flickered at his fingertips, and it seemed that with just a casual wave, he could instantly separate everything before him.
As for the demon beast's lifespan of over two thousand four hundred years, it seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was even shorter than he had guessed. Based on the comparison between the Mountain Lord and the Moon Lord's inner cores, he had initially thought it would take at least a few more centuries.
【Remaining Demon Beast Lifespan: 3,407 years】
Shen Yi opened his eyes, retracting the twin lights of azure and crimson, and his gaze fell upon the panel.
Then he paused at the Freedom Wind Technique.
With the newly acquired Heaven-Dome Sunbreak Bow, if he could also master this bizarre movement technique, as long as he didn't provoke those dozen or so Core Condensation Realm Mountain Lords, there would likely be no demons in all of Qingzhou capable of threatening his life.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi once again infused the demon beast's lifespan into the technique.
...
【Year 1: You open the Freedom Wind Technique and stare at the cryptic text. You nod thoughtfully, and a glimmer of clarity and foolishness flashes in your eyes.】
Shen Yi grit his teeth.
It's here! It's here again!
That familiar feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
【Year 3: You have memorized the text so well that you can recite it backwards, but your mind is filled with confusion. Clearly, you have practiced various light body techniques, but the content in the book is obviously different from what you've experienced before.】
【Year 22: You stand up, your legs don't move, but you close your eyes slightly, feeling the gentle breeze caressing your body. When you open your eyes again, you find yourself three zhang away. Your eyes widen in shock—this is no light body technique, it's a teleportation technique! But when you try it again, you can't replicate the feeling.】
【Year 47: Your restless heart finally calms down after years of attempts. You turn to go home, take a step, and suddenly your body transforms into a gust of wind, appearing ten zhang away.】
【Freedom Wind Technique, Minor Success】
Shen Yi suddenly felt the barely perceptible wind around his ears become clearer.
It was as if his entire being had merged with the surroundings, becoming lighter, and with just a slight thought, he could ride the wind.
Even the Jade Dew in his Qi Sea began to circulate on its own.
It wasn't until the panel continued to display prompts that he snapped out of this trance-like state.
The demon beast's lifespan continued to flow away.
Progress was as slow as ever.
With Shen Yi's current understanding of martial arts, most techniques and aura manipulations were already very familiar to him.
But this Condensation Core Realm movement technique clearly exceeded this scope.
It was more like the abilities of the gods in the storybooks who could ride the clouds and control the mist... Perhaps a bit exaggerated, but this ability to transform into the wind couldn't be considered a light body technique.
No wonder Yan Xingkong could run so fast with just one leg.
The reason he couldn't move might not be because his legs were shattered, but because of the final palm strike that sealed his Qi Sea.
Suddenly, all the wind around his ears disappeared.
Shen Yi looked up and saw the last prompt on the panel.
【Year 732: You disappear from your original spot and quickly reappear without moving your feet. But you know that if you wish, you can instantly appear a hundred zhang away. You are no longer riding the wind; you are the embodiment of freedom and ease.】
【Freedom Wind Technique, Perfection!】
【Remaining Demon Beast Lifespan: 2,675 years】
