Chapter 180: The Dao Seed's Emerging Consciousness
Chapter 180: The Dao Seed's Emerging Consciousness
Xiao Qianwei's emotions were in turmoil.
After much difficulty, General You Longtao had abandoned the idea of leaving Qingzhou, but Shen Yi was already on his way.
Although General You had lost his usual composure due to General Jiang's influence, he at least knew to consult Senior Yang first. However, Shen Yi intended to charge into the Moonhowling Demon King's territory alone.
General You's Teleportation Technique was indeed formidable in Qingzhou.
This was because Qingzhou lacked a Primordial Master. As a Martial Immortal, General You relied on his Dark Soul to fight, eliminating the need for light body techniques to enhance his physical body. But the Moonhowling Demon King was a genuine Demon King, comparable to a Primordial Master.
The terrifying gap between their realms was not something a single Teleportation Technique could bridge.
"How about this, General You, why don't you accompany her? That way, you can support each other."
Xiao Qianwei hadn't planned to disturb Shen Yi again, but at that moment, she subconsciously stepped forward.
"..."
General You lowered his palms, a sudden sense of wonder filling his mind.
If he remembered correctly, Aunt Xiao had just advised him to be more composed, but as soon as Shen Yi appeared, everyone around seemed to transform.
Upon further thought, it made sense. With such a dazzling display, it was natural for people to develop a favorable impression of her.
Hmm...
At least Senior Sister Jiang wouldn't undergo such a change. After all, she and Shen Yi were both geniuses.
With this thought, General You finally reassured himself. He then took out two breaths from his Storage Artifact: "These were obtained by Senior Yang on my behalf. The Golden Bell Demon Hunters possess a profound Qi Absorption Technique, allowing them to locate demons more accurately. Please accept them, General Shen."
The two breaths were as solid as if they had substance, like flickering flames.
"Before you leave, if you change your mind, I, You, will accompany you at any time."
"Thank you, General You."
Shen Yi received the breaths in her palms. With a slight sense, she immediately detected the intense demon vexing energy within, dozens of times more potent than that of a Mountain Lord.
"These two Blue-Faced Lions are brothers, inseparable and always together. They are mid-to-high-ranking Demon Lords under the Moonhowling Demon King, trusted by the Demon King. That's why he sent them to protect the White Jade Rabbit."
General You had interacted with these three Demon Lords for many years and was well aware of their formidable abilities.
The Embryo Pill Realm consisted of three stages: planting the Dao Seed, nurturing the Dao Embryo, and finally, cultivating the Dao Infant or Dark Soul.
If the White Jade Rabbit was equivalent to a Martial Warrior who had just planted the Dao Seed, and a relatively weak one at that, either of these two lions could easily crush a Martial Warrior in the Dao Embryo stage. Together, they would even pose a challenge to General You, a Dark Soul cultivator who had surpassed all three stages.
"I'm just going to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll return to Qingzhou as soon as possible."
Shen Yi nodded, not making any extravagant promises.
After consuming a vast amount of his lifespan, he had perfected numerous Martial Arts through meticulous calculations. Now that he had caught up in realm, he finally demonstrated their true power.
Whether it was the Two Instruments Dragon Tiger True Intention, Immortal Demon Nine Transformations, or even the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring itself, mastering any one of them was sufficient to fight across realms.
But no one knew if the demons had some hidden innate divine abilities.
Anyone who cultivated to this level would have some life-risking techniques.
"Now that we've finished discussing official matters, I'd like to ask a personal question..." General You felt a bit self-deprecating. The entire Qingzhou Exorcism Commandery was risking their lives for the stability of the twelve prefectures, and here he was, the Demon Suppressing Commander, wasting Shen Yi's precious time during this critical moment.
"I heard that General Shen went to the capital with Senior Sister Jiang. I want to know if she has..." He trailed off, feeling foolish. With Senior Sister Jiang's cold temperament, even if she had any emotions, how could Shen Yi possibly notice?
"Emotions?"
Shen Yi shifted his gaze from the breath and stored it in the Silver Bell, thinking for a moment, "It should be better, at least more cheerful than before."
Ever since the other party's realm had progressed, on the way back, Jiang Qiulan was no longer as silent as before, occasionally chatting with him.
A noticeable difference from his previous expressionless state.
Unfortunately, he was preoccupied with the Qingzhou demons, and didn't pay much attention, so he wasn't clear on the specifics.
"More cheerful..."
A few people in the room were stunned, and it took a long time for them to imagine that scene in their minds.
You Longtao shook his head, knowing that Shen Yi was comforting him, "Thank you, I understand."
"Then I'll take my leave." Shen Yi lightly nodded and stood up, walking towards the exit.
To avoid complications, he wanted to quickly check on his Demon Pill.
The young man's sudden movement caught You Longtao off guard, and he instinctively looked towards Lin Baiwei, his fellow disciple, standing beside him.
Lin Baiwei seemed accustomed to his reaction. Back in Baiyun County, Shen Yi had also tossed the pancake onto the table and left without a word. At least now, he bid farewell.
She sighed helplessly, lowering her gaze.
They had agreed to chat in detail that evening, and he had clearly nodded in agreement, but then he forgot about it.
This farewell meant another unknown period before they could meet again.
He was still as stubborn as ever, not leaving even a word behind before embarking on such a dangerous task.
If he had tried harder before, accumulating more achievements, and improved his realm through the Divine Martial Temple's purification, he wouldn't be in a position where he could only watch Shen Yi leave alone.
Thinking of this, Lin Baiwei looked at the small silver bell on her waist, her eyes filled with determination.
"Senior Brother, I'm leaving!"
She turned to leave but was stopped by Xiao Qianwei. You Longtao glanced at her and said indifferently, "I can't control General Shen, and I can't control you either? Stay put in Tingyang Prefecture and recover from your injuries first."
After saying this, he sighed, "If General Shen returns, I'll be the first to send you a message."
...
On the outskirts of Tingyang Prefecture, by a stream.
The gentle breeze settled, revealing Shen Yi's figure as he found a secluded spot to sit down.
He was about to leave the Qingzhou territory.
Although it wasn't his first time, he remained vigilant.
He took out the Demon Pill he had borrowed from Jiang Qiulan.
A total of fourteen, now only five remained.
Opening the panel, he continued to study the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique. It had to be said that although this pill was more profound than an inner pill of the same realm, it was also very demanding.
Five demon pills entered his stomach, consuming another three hundred and seventy years of demonic lifespan.
Compared to before the Embryo Pill stage, this time was about thirty percent faster.
However, Shen Yi didn't feel joy.
The increased speed wasn't due to improved proficiency... but the Dao Seed actively devouring demonic energy.
The so-called Embryo Pill Condensation.
In practice, it was using various essences of heaven and earth to condense a life form.
At this moment, the crimson light point on the blood-red silk strands was gradually forming something like limbs and a body, although it was only a faint outline, it already had self-awareness.
This situation had deviated from the description in the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique.
The emergence of self-awareness was supposed to occur at the Dao Embryo stage. To reach this stage, he still needed at least two more inner pills of the same quality as the white jade rabbit demon.
