Chapter 191: Contesting for the Dao Infant
Chapter 191: Contesting for the Dao Infant
Remaining Demon Lifespan: 8,164 years
At the moment the panel prompt emerged,
Shen Yi was about to open his eyes and exit his inward gaze, but he caught a glimpse of the smile on the Dao Infant's face.
He paused slightly, not feeling surprised, and immediately mobilized his suppression power to slap it twice, asking why it was smiling.
Ever since he prepared to leave Tingyang County the last time, Shen Yi had already understood the importance of talent in cultivation.
Whether it was condensing pills or holding them, and regardless of whether it was a Dao Infant or a Yin Spirit,
what they were actually doing was the same thing.
That is, by borrowing the breath of heaven and earth to nurture a vessel that can accommodate one's divine sense.
But the breath of heaven and earth is highly spiritual.
The vessel it condenses is very likely to develop self-awareness.
And what a Pill-holding cultivator needs to do to break through the Mixed Origin Realm is to contest control of this vessel with this consciousness.
This isn't something that can be made up for by spending more time.
Because the longer the lifespan consumed, the more mature the consciousness in the Dao Infant will become, and eventually, it may even turn on its master.
If it were a Yin Spirit condensed from incense and devotional wishes, or a Dao Infant nurtured by ordinary breath, perhaps their temperament would be milder and easier to control.
But in his case, where he was using vicious demon force to feed it, coupled with the Swallowing Heaven Pill's inherently greedy nature, and its cultivation that was more robust than others at the same realm,
the Dao Infant would naturally be more ferocious.
In other words, Shen Yi, who already had mediocre talent, now faced a hellish difficulty far beyond what others at the Pill-holding realm experienced.
"..."
Shen Yi slowly chewed and swallowed the last remaining bits of the Flood Dragon's inner elixir pill.
Year 1: You ingested the Flood Dragon's inner elixir, digesting its impurities, and your Flood Dragon Demon Power talent has improved.
[Condensing Pills (Rare): Flood Dragon Demon Power]
In total, he had consumed the inner Dan of six Flood Dragons, and in the process, his bloodline seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier.
The sacrifices made by the young and old of the Flood Dragon clan had finally borne fruit.
Shen Yi could feel his blood boiling hotter, and his heart felt a bit stifled, prompting him to want to throw a few punches to vent.
He subconsciously clenched his palm to calm his emotions.
After all, after completing the seventh molting of the Immortal Demon, his physical body had already reached a terrifying level.
And now, the bloodline divine ability of the Flood Dragon clan actually made Shen Yi feel an extremely noticeable improvement.
This was a great harvest.
Indeed, frugality is a virtue.
Once he adjusted his state, Shen Yi once again mobilized the demon lifespan force and channeled it inward.
After absorbing the Flood Dragon's cultivation, the Dao Infant took on a complete form. At this moment, it was just a step away from condensing a true Dao Infant, but before taking that step, he had to make all the necessary preparations.
After all this hard work, he couldn't end up benefiting someone else.
The Molten Sun Treasure Furnace's dark red veins glowed faintly, and the heavy suppression power quickly converged towards the Swallowing Heaven Pill.
Year 1: As you gaze at this seemingly slumbering Dao Infant, you attempt to infuse your divine sense into it. However, as soon as you enter this body forged from demonic energy, you sense something amiss. It has matured over thousands of years and is far from the nascent state when it was first born. Your heart gradually fills with unease.
Don't panic, it can't fight back yet.
Shen Yi silently cheered himself on in his mind.
Just go all out, there's plenty of demon lifespan force.
As if hearing Shen Yi's inner thoughts, the words in the panel prompt gradually became more intense.
The divine sense and the Dao Infant's consciousness began a life-and-death struggle.
Shen Yi had witnessed similar situations many times before. Every time the Immortal Demon molted, the demons would erupt in a similar fashion, but this time, he was the one engaged in the deadly battle.
Chapter 307: Contending for the Dao Infant
Shen Yi closed his eyes, suddenly feeling refreshed.
The entire world seemed to become more amicable, and he realized the reason.
The process of contesting control of the Dao Infant with one's divine sense was, in itself, a form of cultivation, tempering not the body but the soul.
The stronger the opponent, the greater the gains.
Thinking of it this way, it didn't seem like such a bad deal after all.
Chapter 732: You are like a weary lone wolf, quietly staring at the consciousness of the Dao Infant, nothing more than a piece of immovable fatty meat, as you charge at it for the umpteenth time.
It had only taken him a little over eight hundred years to erase the consciousness of the Blue-Faced Lion using death intent.
Now, after a similar amount of time, the battle had just begun.
Shen Yi's current feeling was bizarre to the extreme.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had forcefully torn open his skull, stuffing it with exhaustion, pain, despair, and countless other emotions.
However, just as he was about to reach his limit, he could immediately sense the growth of his divine sense, as if a frail being was slowly but steadfastly growing stronger.
This continued until Shen Yi became completely numb.
Finally, another prompt appeared.
Chapter 1790: You look at the shredded consciousness of the Dao Infant, and the last remaining wisp pleads for mercy. You don't feel particularly happy; you just stand by its side, calmly gazing at its face. Under your gaze, it finally understands who the true owner of this body is.
[Swallowing Heaven Pill: Devour Law, Perfection]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 6,373 years]
The prompt that should have appeared when he was condensing the Dao Infant finally emerged.
Shen Yi sat silently on the edge of the bed, his eyes gradually clearing after an unknown amount of time had passed.
Within the Elixir Pill in his Qi Sea.
The Dao Infant was connected to crimson blood threads and had truly fallen asleep this time.
With the issue of consciousness resolved, all that was left to do was to feed it some demon pills to give it the strength to break free from those threads, and it would officially break through to the Dao Infant stage.
This would mean reaching the same realm as Jiang Qiuluan.
Coupled with the Immortal Demon's Nine Moltings and numerous martial arts techniques,
She would only need to face him once for Shen Yi to realize that his punches weren't heavy enough.
"..."
Shen Yi looked towards the wooden door, a glint of challenge in his eyes.
He had been fighting demons all this time and had yet to try challenging a true martial arts expert.
After cultivating for so long, he finally felt that he had a decent chance of winning.
However, Shen Yi soon retracted his gaze.
Forget it, he thought. It's better to wait until after I break through.
After the excitement of his impending breakthrough faded, Shen Yi lay quietly on the bed, using the red light to massage his body and soothe his tense mind.
Currently, the only ones who posed a threat to him and had a grudge against him were the Howling Moon Demon King and...seemed to be a fox from Qingqiu.
Although he had been careful when taking action,
There was no guarantee that they didn't have some kind of bloodline connection or treasure that could transmit messages.
It would be better to quickly take care of them together.
Otherwise, being remembered by enemies all day long made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Demon Pills..."
