Chapter 235: Shangjing Wuxian
Chapter 235: Shangjing Wuxian
As the room emptied, Shen Yi shook his head.
Exposing his Body Tempering Cultivation was actually part of his plan.
After all, he still needed to rely on the Martial Temple's Incense Fire Wish Power, but he also had to go out to slay demons to harvest their life spans and Demon Blood. As a Shadow Soul Cultivator, he needed an explanation for his ability to slay Demon Kings in various places.
He clenched the Golden Wolf Jade Talisman and opened the panel once more.
As the Demon life spans poured into the Trinity Ascension Technique, abundant Incense Fire Wish Power gathered again.
The Shadow Soul was of little use to Shen Yi if he had to control it personally, but if he could manipulate it through the Demon Soul, that would be a different concept.
Like this time, he and Qinghua Madam worked together to reap double the Demon life spans.
"Should this Incense Fire Wish Power be enough to break through to Shangjing Wuxian?"
Shen Yi observed the simulation prompts appearing on the panel, and after countless attempts, the Shadow Soul had evidently found a suitable path. The white mist within it circulated more harmoniously, and there shouldn't be any major issues from now on.
Two cloud patterns represented Shangjing Wuxian.
However, this cultivation technique was called the Trinity Ascension Technique.
In other words, the upper realm wasn't considered perfection.
But whether it was the Commander or Senior Brother Wu, they both mentioned that after reaching the upper realm, one could consider condensing the Golden Body.
Perhaps it was due to the urgency of the life span?
Shen Yi decided to practice it first and see, anyway, there was still plenty of Demon life spans, and the Martial Temple had no shortage of Incense Fire Wish Power.
[In the 2400th year, with sufficient Incense Fire Wish Power, your Shadow Soul gradually gains a second cloud pattern around its body, its form solidifies, and its expression becomes more detached. Emerging from the secular world yet remaining distant from it, this is the upper realm of the Martial Immortal.]
[Mastery of the Trinity Ascension Technique]
Within the qi sea, the Shadow Soul's aura had clearly overwhelmed the Dao Infant.
It was as if an Immortal Descendant was seated in meditation.
The two cloud patterns swirled behind him like Yin and Yang fish.
"Come out."
Shen Yi communicated with Qinghua Madam through divine sense.
However, there wasn't a sound in the room.
"Hmm?"
Shen Yi furrowed his brows and sank into his inner perception again.
He saw the Shadow Soul struggling to stand, but like a newborn baby, its legs were trembling, and it fell back with a thud.
All traces of the Immortal Descendant's demeanor were gone.
Shen Yi couldn't imagine how others would mock him if they saw a Shadow Soul in such a state... that thing was wearing his face.
"My Lord, please give Qinghua a little more time."
Qinghua Madam's voice was almost tearful as she struggled to rise within the qi sea.
If she just tried harder, she wouldn't be replaced!
"..."
Shen Yi watched as the Shadow Soul fell over a dozen times, confirming that it couldn't stand up.
He sighed with a hint of sympathy.
It seemed the 10,000 years of Demon life span couldn't be delayed any further.
Oh well, since he had earned a lot this time, there was no need to be so stingy.
His divine sense stirred slightly.
The 10,000 years of life span transformed into a Demon origin and was sent to the panel under Qinghua Madam's description.
The Shadow Soul immediately ceased its movements.
As time passed, an even more powerful aura emanated from within.
[Demon King (Precious): Qinghua Madam]
The words on the panel also changed.
The next moment, the Shadow Soul left the body, and two auspicious clouds enveloped the room. A handsome figure emerged from the clouds, his robe fluttering gracefully, and his demeanor was otherworldly.
He perfectly matched Shen Yi's self-image.
Shen Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Qinghua Madam left the Shadow Soul, returning to her Demon Soul form. With a graceful posture, she knelt solemnly before Shen Yi, her voice like a silver bell, "I am grateful for my Lord's grace, Qinghua will not disappoint your high expectations."
"There are no high expectations, just work diligently."
Shen Yi stood up, pondering how to use Qinghua to make up for the lost ten thousand years.
He recalled his shadow soul and Qinghua back into his body.
Looking up, he saw the incredibly thin white mist in the sky.
The incense fire wish power of the entire Demon Suppressing Bureau was barely enough to support an Upper Realm Martial Immortal.
It was time to ask his senior brother if there were any other vacancies.
The other party's green robe seemed quite impressive.
"I'll wait a few more days," Shen Yi decided as he stepped out.
Suddenly, he changed his mind.
Although the other party already considered him a genius, the speed of his progress was indeed a bit exaggerated.
After all, the incense fire power was taken for the purpose of condensing the Dharmic Body of Gold.
It would be better to go to the Martial Armory and pick up a book on the Golden Body Technique to study. Once he had a basic grasp of it, he could then consider the matter of incense fire power.
Moreover, although the Martial Immortal path was a shortcut, allowing for rapid advancement, his primary cultivation was still the Primordial Path. He might as well take the opportunity to look at some Primordial Martial Arts.
With this in mind, Shen Yi turned and headed towards the Martial Armory.
...
Imperial City Martial Armory.
Shen Yi used the Golden Wolf Jade Talisman to summon the Golden Jade Staircase and quickly descended.
The same old man with a gaunt face stood at the entrance.
But this time, when he saw Shen Yi, his expression changed slightly, and he greeted him proactively, "You're here? Come in."
The shadow souls wandering in the armory all stopped and looked on curiously.
"..."
Shen Yi nodded in response.
It was clear that these Martial Immortals had become extremely bored and dull; in such a short time, the news of what had happened in the courtyard had already spread throughout the place.
"Martial Immortal Techniques or Body Tempering Arts?"
One of the Martial Immortals smiled and approached, making a casual joke.
A shadow soul cultivator tempering their body was a rare sight, and it was the first time such a thing had happened in Great Tian.
"Thank you, I'd like to take a look at the Golden Body Technique," Shen Yi said politely.
Before he finished speaking, the other Martial Immortals looked over again.
Wu Laogui had said that the armory was open to the youth, but it had been less than an hour since he left, and he was already eager to come and see the Golden Body Technique... This impatience and curiosity about everything fit the character of a young prodigy.
No one spoke to dissuade him; they just smiled and pointed Shen Yi in the right direction.
There was a living example in that direction.
This prodigy only needed to take one look, and it would be more effective than a thousand words.
Shen Yi followed the direction and walked to the corner of the armory.
It was a small attic.
At the entrance stood a shadow soul, overlapping with a skeleton, maintaining a "sitting" posture in deep thought.
"Senior, please make way."
Shen Yi could pass through the shadow soul directly, but he couldn't pass through the skeleton, and it happened to be blocking the middle.
"Ah... Oh..."
The shadow soul looked up in a daze, then turned to pick up the skeleton and placed it to the side before recombining with it.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Are you here to learn the Golden Body Technique?"
Shen Yi had just stepped into the attic and glanced sideways, "Mhm."
"I'll accompany you..."
The shadow soul floated up, revealing a proud smile, "I've read all twenty-plus books on the Golden Body Technique here, memorizing them. There's no cultivator in Great Tian more skilled in the Golden Body Technique than me."
When talking about the Golden Body Technique, his words became much more fluent.
"My surname... I forgot... Just call me Senior Brother."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, clearly recognizing that the other party was limited by his talent and had never been able to break through to the Divine Transformation realm, resulting in the exhaustion of his physical body.
Fortunately, Shen Yi's Demon life span was sufficient.
Otherwise, he would likely have met the same fate.
