Chapter 240: The Seven-Foot Golden Body
Chapter 240: The Seven-Foot Golden Body
Over ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Dao'an's figure appeared slightly stooped as he walked with his hands behind his back in the Jia Yard, looking like an ordinary elderly man nearing the end of his life.
As the Yin spirits saw him approaching, they silently made way.
Without uttering a word, they quietly watched him walk away.
Without the golden register by his side, there was no need to preside over the Martial Temple's refinement, nor was he considered the acting temple celebrant.
But this was not the reason why the other Martial Immortals distanced themselves from him.
Arbitrary and domineering.
Taking advantage of the Old Ancestor's slumber, he completely disregarded the other disciples of the Jia Yard and made such a major decision without consulting anyone.
"I don't want Junior Brother Shen to become a second Celebrant Zhu."
"But Old Ghost Wu is pushing him step by step towards that fiery pit."
Several Martial Immortals glanced indifferently in the direction of the old man's departure.
Shen Yi had held the Golden Wolf Jade Token since the day he entered the Martial Temple, and within a month, he had obtained the golden register of the acting temple celebrant.
He faced no obstacles or difficulties.
All of this was due to Wu Dao'an's doing.
This old ghost had made a decision for the entire Martial Temple, but who gave him that authority?
"The incense aspiration represented by that golden register has decreased by three percent these days," someone whispered.
Their greatest fear had come true. Junior Brother Shen's physique was indeed astonishing, and he had a greed to match it.
He didn't care whether he needed it or not; he first swallowed everything into his body.
"Should we take the opportunity to grab a portion for ourselves before he reacts?"
"If you grab it, and everyone else does the same, then when it's truly needed, we'll all be left helpless!"
The Martial Immortal angrily swung his sleeve, chastising his fellow disciple.
After speaking, he took a few breaths. "What is Junior Brother Shen doing now?"
The other person pondered for a moment. "Clearing his mind?"
...
In the small attic of the Martial Arsenal.
Celebrant Zhu cleared his throat and recited the Clear Heart Formula once more.
Shen Yi leaned against the wall, eyes closed, listening. Occasionally, he nodded slightly and stretched lazily.
After reciting it about three more times, Celebrant Zhu finally stopped and asked eagerly, "Junior Brother, can you show me that again?"
"... "
Shen Yi opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
"I understand," Celebrant Zhu said. He turned and opened the formation in the small attic, isolating the sight and perception of others, and then sat solemnly in the corner, holding the skull rack.
Seeing this, Shen Yi closed his eyes again.
Within his Qi sea, the Yin spirit sat cross-legged, and compared to before, there was an additional golden pearl in his embrace.
There was a curled-up figure within the pearl.
He touched the golden pearl with his mindful thoughts.
The next moment, the pearl appeared in Shen Yi's palm and then hovered in mid-air.
Dazzling golden light spread out like silken threads, weaving a seven-foot-tall, dazzling golden figure in the same spot.
As it appeared, all the jade slips in the attic paled in comparison.
Its body was incredibly robust, and its face naturally exuded a majestic aura.
From its spine extended fresh red lines, resembling an ugly and ferocious face.
"Ah!"
Celebrant Zhu's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the golden body. He was clearly a Yin spirit, yet he felt as if he could hear his own pounding heartbeat.
The golden body slowly opened its eyes.
As its gaze swept over, Celebrant Zhu felt as if his Yin spirit was about to be shaken and scattered.
The only strange thing that Celebrant Zhu felt was that after Shen Yi summoned the golden body, he became incredibly cold and refused to speak.
As expected, the Arhat golden body silently retracted its gaze and transformed back into a pearl, floating into Shen Yi's palm.
"... "
Celebrant Zhu reluctantly put away the formation, but he did not make any further demands. After all, at this stage when such a golden body had not yet fully formed, it was a time of utmost tension for a Transformation Realm cultivator.
One more step forward would lead to a boundless future, but if someone intercepted and killed him, it would be a disaster. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"It's because of inadequate talent." Shen Yi nodded.
Zhu Shixiong paused for a moment, gritting his teeth, "Now I really do feel like devouring his flesh and bones."
"Actually, it's not that interesting," Shen Yi glanced at him and said indifferently, "It gets boring after using it a few times."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shixiong turned his body to face the corner of the wall, "Shidi, please leave. I want to be alone for a while."
Seeing that his good intentions had the desired effect, Shen Yi waved his hand and left the Martial Arsenal without haste.
After closing the golden jade steps, he sighed.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 24,100 years]
Shen Yi had expected the process of forging the golden body to be difficult, but he hadn't anticipated it to be this challenging.
It had taken him a full 20,000 years.
According to the panel prompt, this seven-foot-tall golden body was only a semi-finished product and couldn't even be considered a minor success.
It would probably be the weakest existence even among the Transformation Realm cultivators.
The reason he stopped wasn't due to a lack of incense aspiration power, but because Qinghua was about to go crazy...
That woman now had red-rimmed eyes, biting her lips, and her gaze was vacant, like a wronged lady.
In comparison, Shen Yi was affected to a lesser extent, after all, he only played the role of a "transit".
Although his mind was extremely exhausted, it didn't drive him to madness.
Shortcuts always came with a price... let others bear the consequences.
With the protection of the golden body, Shen Yi felt much more relaxed. He tidied his blue shirt and, as usual, went to the Martial Temple to relax.
...
Outside the Imperial City, a horse-drawn carriage slowly came to a halt.
An old man clad in dark armor dismounted and handed over a document before riding a red horse and comforting the person inside, "Don't be angry. Perhaps he really has something urgent to attend to, otherwise, why would he not even bother to greet you?"
Inside the carriage.
A pretty girl in a white dress gripped the ropes of the silver bells, her eyes fixed angrily on them.
"I'm not angry."
After speaking, as if to convince herself, she added, "I know he must have something urgent. He's definitely busy slaying demons and eliminating evil."
Chen Qiantian drove the horse-drawn carriage towards the Martial Temple.
Then he stopped in front of the Demon Catcher's Head Office.
He secretly sighed. If it weren't for Shen Yi quietly leaving Qingzhou, this little girl probably wouldn't be willing to exchange that strand of Demon Lord's blood essence for the Martial Temple's refinement. This wasn't for the purpose of refinement, but clearly just an excuse to come to the capital.
"Ai."
The old man shook his head and walked towards the Head Office.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of two figures.
One was dressed in a blue shirt, exceptionally handsome, and the other was in a white skirt, holding a long sword, her curvaceous figure exuding charm.
The two stood side by side, seemingly engaged in a quiet conversation.
"... "
Chen Qiantian was choked and quickly pretended not to see them.
He walked into the Head Office.
The horse-drawn carriage, which was quietly parked, had its curtain lifted slightly.
Lin Baiwei hid behind the curtain, secretly looking outside, and then her red lips pursed unconsciously.
Feeling disappointed, she let go of the curtain and tightly held the silver bell in her palm.
He doesn't seem very busy...
