Chapter 176: Demon Vexing Dao Seed, Breakthrough to Embryo Pill Realm!
Chapter 176: Demon Vexing Dao Seed, Breakthrough to Embryo Pill Realm!
"Actually, there's no need to pay it any mind. Just take some time to disperse them."
Jiang Qiulan had plenty of experience in this regard. After all, she was a warrior who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Path with the devotion essence of an entire prefecture.
The previous Demon Subjugation Commander of Yushan Prefecture had perished, and a suitable replacement had yet to be found.
"Disperse..."
Shen Yi's eyes glimmered, and he revisited his earlier thought: "The Divine Martial Temple cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm is limited to the Imperial City, or perhaps the entire Great Qian Dynasty. Is that really the case?"
He wanted to clarify this matter. If it were the former, then he would just have to disperse them honestly.
Although Jiang Qiulan didn't cultivate the Dark Soul Path, she had heard about it: "As far as I know, the Golden Body Incarnation doesn't have such restrictions. Unless the golden body is shattered, one needs to return to the Great Qian Dynasty and use devotion essence to reconstruct it."
Upon hearing this, a peculiar look flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
His idea was simple. Since he was already nurturing the Embryo Pill, he might as well nurture a pair of them.
At most, the Dao Infant and Dark Soul would have to squeeze a little.
For others, within their limited lifespans, it was natural to focus on a single path and strive for breakthroughs.
But with his Demonic Lifespan, as long as he killed enough, the difficulties would naturally be resolved.
The challenge lay in the issue of divine consciousness.
Even if he were a Primordial Master, there wouldn't be any spare divine consciousness to allocate to another Dark Soul.
However, he could try what was called the Demonic Origin and reshape a Demon Soul to integrate into the Dark Soul.
If it failed, it would merely be a waste of the devotion essence that he couldn't use anyway.
Moreover, based on his previous experience, the demons he personally slew could even help him in his cultivation, so the description of the Demonic Origin, claiming eternal servitude and inability to transcend, was likely not an exaggeration.
Of course, the focus was still on the Primordial Chaos Martial Arts.
Shen Yi always felt that the Divine Martial Temple cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm seemed a bit senile, and he didn't want to roam the world in the form of a golden body.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Qiulan 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 I borrow some Demon Pills first?"
"Sure." Jiang Qiulan nodded, and her palm brushed past her waist, placing around a dozen perfect Demon Pills quietly on the table.
"These are all I have on me, and they should be enough for you to condense the Dao Seed."
She had personally witnessed his use of Demon Energy before, and it was she who recommended the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring. Naturally, she knew what Shen Yi needed the Demon Pills for.
As for whether he was a demon in disguise...
The fact that he could walk out of the Divine Martial Temple alive had already answered that question.
"I'll return them to you next time we meet."
Shen Yi didn't stand on ceremony and collected all the Demon Pills into the Silver Bell.
Currently, he had an abundance of Demonic Lifespan, and he urgently needed to go out and chat with some Embryo Pill Realm demons to increase his cultivation as much as possible for stability.
"It's fine. I'm nurturing the Dao Infant with the Azure Ice Seven Stars Sword Intent and condensing the Primordial Chaos Boundless Sword Body. I no longer need these things."
Jiang Qiulan slowly rose to her feet and suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, before General Chen left, he instructed me to tell you to visit him in Linjiang Prefecture if you have the time..." With that, she left.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi nodded.
If he had the time, then he didn't.
Linjiang Prefecture was full of old water serpents hiding in the Yangchun River. If they didn't come out, he'd have to find them whenever he could.
After Jiang Qiulan left the courtyard, Shen Yi took out a strand of qi from the Silver Bell. This was the qi of General You Longtao, 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 Embryo Pill Realm demons there, which was much more worthwhile than looking for Elder Chen.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi stood up and closed the door.
He poured himself a cup of warm water, then opened the panel to look at his lifespan, which had already reached ten thousand years, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
I never expected that after going to the capital city with Wan Nian, I would actually be able to bring him back.
How long will it take to spend all this money?
[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 10,047 years]
He began to channel his demonic lifespan into the Heaven Devouring Pill, devouring the Celestial Demon Outer Pill within.
Previously, the Celestial Demon Outer Pill also contained the cultivation of the fox demon, so he decided to use it up first.
[Year 1: You command the Sky Devouring Inner Core to devour all the cultivation within the outer pill, curiously operating the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique, and begin to condense the Dao Seed. This requires the utmost patience and precision, which luckily is something you have in abundance.]
In the moment the prompt appeared, Shen Yi discovered that the Celestial Demon Outer Pill in his Qi Sea had been completely drained, and the sinister demonic energy within had dyed the inner pill a dark red.
His demonic lifespan rapidly decreased.
The prompt within the panel was indeed not false; he truly had remarkable patience, not showing a hint of complaint from start to finish.
Watching his demonic lifespan decrease by 112 years, he finally managed to condense all the demonic energy together.
Clearly, the cultivation at the Profound Core Perfection Realm was not enough to directly enter the Core Formation Stage, and the gap was quite significant.
According to this progress, it would take approximately nine more repetitions for the Dao Seed to fully take shape.
"But..."
Shen Yi put down his water cup, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.
Jiang Qiulan had said that Elder Chen had planted the Divine Seed at the age of 200 and successfully entered the Embryo Pill Realm, and at over 800 years old, he had already nurtured a Divine Embryo, which was considered an extremely poor display of talent.
But according to the prompt before him, it would take over 1,000 years just to plant the Dao Seed? If he relied solely on himself, wouldn't his lifespan run out before he could enter the Core Formation Stage?
"..."
It was probably also because the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique was too difficult, and Elder Chen had taken the shortcut of the Dark Soul Path. How could he compare himself, who followed the path of Primordial Martial Arts, to Elder Chen?
Shen Yi took out another perfect Demon Pill and, now with ample resources, directly spent a year of his demonic lifespan to swallow it, hoping to bring out his talent.
However, nothing happened except for the Celestial Demon Outer Pill being thoroughly consumed.
The only use of the outer pill was to help absorb demonic energy, which would then be fed to the Sky Devouring Inner Core.
His demonic lifespan continued to decrease.
A scarlet light point gradually appeared within the Sky Devouring Inner Core.
Although condensing the Dao Seed was challenging, at least there was a clear path to follow, and it wouldn't cause too many negative emotions.
One by one, Shen Yi swallowed the demon pills.
[Year 873: You swallow the Golden Furred Rat Demon's Inner Pill, absorb its impurities, and gain the talent of Spirit Treasure Perception.]
[Spirit Treasure Perception: You possess an acute sense for Heavensend Materials that surpasses that of others, always able to discover treasures hidden beneath ordinary appearances.]
This was yet another talent without a realm prefix.
It could only be said to be slightly better than nothing.
Shen Yi refocused his mind on the Sky Devouring Inner Core.
The scarlet light point became increasingly solid, and spider-web-like meridians began to spread from it.
After swallowing the ninth demon pill...
[Year 1,370: You successfully plant the Demon Vexing Dao Seed and enter the Embryo Pill Realm.]
[Minor Accomplishment in Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique]
[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 8,677 years]
In that instant, a burst of vitality erupted from within the inner pill!
The scarlet light point began to pulsate, like a beating heart.
At the same time, powerful and sinister demonic energy surged and churned within the inner pill, showing signs of overflowing!
Without hesitation, Shen Yi activated the Sun Melt Furnace, immediately suppressing it with overwhelming force! In just a moment, the scarlet light point was completely subdued, unable to resist.
Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes, and the aura around him became fierce and robust!
Even if he exerted all his strength in the Turtle Breathing Technique, he could only control it within the range of a house, preventing it from spreading further.
This was a power he had never experienced before.
In the face of this demonic energy, even the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, which had previously carried perfect cultivation, seemed like a laughable toy.
