Chapter 176: Demon Spirit Dao Seed, Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm!
Chapter 176: Demon Spirit Dao Seed, Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm!
"There's actually no need to pay any heed to them. Just take some time to disperse them."
Jiang Qiuluan was very experienced in this matter, after all, she was a martial artist who possessed the faith and willpower of an entire county, yet practiced the Hybrid Primal Dao.
The previous Grand Demon-subduing General of Yushan County had fallen, and a suitable successor had not been found even until now.
"Disperse them..."
A glint flashed in Shen Yi's eyes, and he picked up on his previous thought, "Are the Transcendent cultivators enshrined in the Martial Temple limited to only the Imperial City, or can their influence extend throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty?"
He wanted to clarify this matter. If it was the former, then he might as well just honestly disperse them.
Although Jiang Qiuluan did not cultivate her Yin Spirit, she had still heard about it, "As far as I know, the Golden Body Dharma Form doesn't have similar restrictions. Unless the Golden Body is shattered, one would need to return to the Great Qian Dynasty and use the faith and willpower to reconstruct it."
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
His idea was actually very simple. Since he was already cultivating his Dan and nurturing his spirit, he might as well nurture a pair.
At most, it would just cramp the Dao Infant and the Yin Spirit a little.
For others, within a limited lifespan, it was natural to focus on one path and strive to break through.
But for Shen Yi, who used the demon's lifespan, as long as he killed enough, the difficulty would naturally be resolved.
The real challenge was the issue of divine sense.
If a Hybrid Primal Master were to cultivate another Yin Spirit, he wouldn't have any excess divine sense to spare for it.
However, Shen Yi could try what was known as the "Demon Source" and reshape a demon soul to merge with his Yin Spirit.
Even if he failed, it would just be a waste of the faith and willpower that he originally couldn't use anyway.
Moreover, based on his previous experience, the demons he slew with his own hands could actually help him deduce the techniques. So, the description of this demon source—being eternally enslaved and unable to transcend—was most likely not an exaggeration.
Of course, the key was still the Hybrid Primal Martial Arts.
Shen Yi always felt that the Transcendent cultivator in the Martial Temple seemed a bit senile, and he also didn't want to turn into a Golden Body and walk the earth.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Qiuluan patiently waited, "If there's anything I can help with, don't be shy to ask."
"Hmm..." Shen Yi thought for a moment and looked at her, "Can you lend me some demon pills first?"
"Sure." Jiang Qiuluan nodded, and her palm brushed past her waist. About a dozen perfect demon pills lay quietly on the table.
"These are all I have on me, and they should be enough for you to condense your Dao seed."
She had personally witnessed the other party's use of demonic power before, and it was she who had recommended the Devouring Heaven Elixir. Naturally, she knew what Shen Yi wanted the Demon Transformation Pills for.
As for whether the other party was a demon in disguise...
The fact that he could walk out of the Martial Temple alive was proof enough.
"I'll return these to you next time we meet."
Shen Yi didn't stand on ceremony and put all the demon pills into his silver bell.
He now had an excess of demonic lifespan, and he urgently needed to go out and find a few demons in the Embracing Dan realm to discuss the meaning of life. For safety's sake, he would definitely seize any opportunity to increase his power.
"It's fine. I nurture my Dao Infant with the Xuanbing Seven Demon Sword Intent and condense the Hybrid Primal Infinite Sword Body. I no longer need these things."
Jiang Qiuluan slowly stood up and suddenly remembered something, "Right, General Chen instructed me to tell you that if you have time after you return, go to Linjiang County to look for him..." With that, she left.
"Mhm."
Shen Yi nodded.
If he had time, that meant he didn't have time.
Linjiang County was home to a group of old dragon kings hiding in the Yangchun River. If they didn't come out, he didn't know when he would be able to find them.
After Jiang Qiuluan left the courtyard, Shen Yi took out a strand of qi from his silver bell. This was the qi of General Youlong Tao, which he had obtained from Jiang Chengyun.
If he remembered correctly, the last time he passed through Tingyang City, he heard that there were three Embracing Golden Core realm demons there. This was a much better deal than looking for Old Man Chen.
With this in mind, Shen Yi got up to close the door.
He poured himself a cup of warm water and then opened the panel to look at the lifespan that lasted for ten thousand years, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
He channeled his demon lifespan to infuse and temper the Devouring Heaven Elixir within him.
The Heaven Demon Pill still carried the cultivation of the fox demon, so he decided to finish that first before moving on.
Year 1: You command the Devouring Heaven Inner Pill to devour all the cultivation within the outer pill, curiously manipulating the Devouring Heaven Elixir Technique to begin condensing the Dao seed. This task requires great patience and precision, and fortunately, these are qualities you possess in abundance.
As soon as the prompt appeared, Shen Yi noticed that the Heaven Demon Pill in his qi sea had been emptied, its interior now stained a dark red by the fierce and evil demonic power.
His demon lifespan was rapidly diminishing.
The prompt on the panel was indeed true; he truly had an abundance of patience, as he didn't complain once from start to finish.
Watching his demon lifespan decrease by 112 years, he finally managed to condense all the demonic power together.
Evidently, a perfect cultivation was insufficient to directly enter the Embracing Dan realm, and the gap was quite significant.
According to this progress, it would take roughly nine more repetitions for the Dao seed to fully take shape.
"But..."
Shen Yi put down his cup of water, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.
Jiang Qiuluan had mentioned that Elder Chen had planted the Divine Seed at the age of 200 and successfully entered the Embracing Dan realm, and by the age of 800, he had nurtured the Divine Fetus. This was already considered extremely poor aptitude.
However, according to the current prompt, it would take Shen Yi over a thousand years just to plant the Dao seed? If he relied solely on himself, he might exhaust his lifespan before even entering the Embracing Dan realm.
"..."
Perhaps it was also because the Devouring Heaven Elixir Technique was too difficult, and Elder Chen had taken the shortcut of cultivating his Yin Spirit. It wouldn't be fair to compare himself, who was practicing the Hybrid Primal Martial Arts, to him.
Shen Yi took out another perfect Demon Pill and, feeling rich in resources, directly consumed it, spending one year of his demonic lifespan to see if he could manifest a talent.
However, aside from the Heaven Demon Pill feasting to its heart's content, nothing else happened.
The only use of the outer pill was to help absorb demonic power and feed it to the Devouring Heaven Inner Pill.
His demon lifespan continued to decrease.
A crimson speck of light gradually appeared within the Devouring Heaven Inner Pill.
While condensing the Dao seed was challenging, it at least provided a clear path forward and didn't evoke any negative emotions.
One by one, he swallowed the demon pills.
Year 873: You consume the inner pill of the Golden-furred Mouse Demon, absorbing its residue and obtaining the Heaven-bestowed talent of Spirit Treasure Sense.
Spirit Treasure Sense: You possess an exceptionally keen sense for heavenly treasures and rare artifacts, always able to discern the precious items hidden beneath unassuming exteriors.
Yet another talent without a realm prefix.
It was better than nothing, he supposed.
Shen Yi refocused his attention on the Devouring Heaven Inner Pill.
The crimson speck of light became increasingly condensed, and a spiderweb-like network of veins began to spread from it.
By the time he swallowed the ninth Demon Pill...
Year 1,370: You successfully plant the Demon Yin Dao Seed and enter the Embracing Dan realm.
Devouring Heaven Elixir Technique: Minor Achievement
Remaining Demon Lifespan: 8,677 years
In that instant, a vibrant vitality burst forth from within the inner pill!
The crimson speck of light began to pulsate, like a beating heart.
At the same time, a powerful and fierce demonic power surged and swirled within the inner pill, even showing signs of overflowing!
Without hesitation, Shen Yi channeled the Melting Sun Treasure Furnace and unleashed its suppressing power onto the speck of light! In just an instant, the speck was completely overwhelmed and subdued.
Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes, and the aura emanating from him was fierce and robust.
Even with the use of the Turtle Breath Technique, he could only contain the power within the confines of the house, preventing it from spreading further.
This was a level of power he had never experienced before.
In the face of this demonic power, even the once-perfect Heaven Demon Pill seemed like a laughable toy.
