Chapter 248: Half-Satiated
Chapter 248: Half-Satiated
Shen Yi slightly spread his hands, and the Golden Body transformed into a bead, returning to his palm, while his Shadow Soul returned to his qi sea.
Only Qinghua Madam's demon soul remained on the spot.
The woman's eyes reddened slightly, her lips bitten, and her eyes were obviously a bit dazed, maintaining only the most basic consciousness.
"..."
Shen Yi shook his head in understanding. The feeling of having extraneous thoughts intruding into his mind was indeed unpleasant.
To strengthen the Golden Body further, he needed another demon soul to share the burden.
Fortunately, he had obtained the lingering resentment of two Demon Kings.
The fox among them should be more suitable for martial arts deduction, but its current state of infatuation was somewhat wasteful.
The White Dragon seemed stronger, so he chose it.
Shen Yi absorbed the Golden Orb into his qi sea and then turned to walk towards the distance.
Under a collapsed boulder, he found a young fox demon trembling, its upper body hidden in a crevice.
He pulled it out and struck its head with a palm, shattering its skull.
Then, he opened the panel to tally his harvest.
【Killed Primordial Realm Fox Demon, total lifespan of 16,000 years, remaining lifespan of 8,200 years, absorption complete】
【Killed Primordial Realm White Dragon, total lifespan of 19,000 years, remaining lifespan of 8,800 years, absorption complete】
【Killed Condensing Core Realm Fox Demon, total lifespan of 8,200 years, remaining lifespan of 5,500 years, absorption complete】
...
Over 16,000 years of demon lifespan were added to his account.
Perhaps due to the abundant harvest in Songzhou, Shen Yi felt it was somewhat lacking.
However, to obtain vast amounts of demon lifespan, one needed something attractive enough to lure demons, such as at the cost of human lives... Shen Yi would rather take a few extra steps; after all, riding the Crimson Cloud wasn't tiring.
Shen Yi opened his mouth and turned the three demon corpses into demon blood.
The young fox demon only contributed a drop, while its senior apprentice brother provided fifty-six drops.
The flesh and blood of the White Dragon quickly merged into one hundred and sixty-two drops of demon blood.
Shen Yi was slightly surprised by its strength.
Among the immortal demons in the Nine Demon Transformation Great Law, the strongest was the Mountain Lord, which had consumed over a hundred drops of demon blood.
This didn't mean the White Dragon was only half as strong.
Because immortal demons only had demon blood, and the demon blood of the White Dragon... merely represented its physical body. Don't forget it also had its demon core cultivation.
Shen Yi put away the demon core.
Three more storage artifacts appeared in his hand.
Compared to tallying the spoils of war, he was more interested in the Dao Infant that had already turned into jade.
The palm-sized jade doll looked lifelike, with all its internal organs, but they weren't real organs; they seemed like various heavenly treasures.
Shen Yi used his fingertip to pick at it, trying to extract the white flower representing the heart.
The white flower, covered in cracks, seemed to have lost its vitality.
There was no trace of life within it.
"The Dao Infant is dead, so the white flower died too?"
Shen Yi tried with the others, but the results were the same. He was slightly disappointed, as he had hoped to extract it and place it within his own Dao Infant.
"But this does prove that my earlier guess was correct."
The Primordial Sage's path to Spirit Transformation was to replace the original body with the Dao Infant.
Chang Qing Zhenren had obviously achieved this.
Even when his Dao Infant left his body, it could survive independently, but he was still in the Primordial Realm... What was he lacking?
Shen Yi studied it carefully.
He discovered that this thing was just a humanoid demon core.
However, it could be used as a reference to guide his future path.
Shen Yi put it into a storage artifact.
Jiang Qiulan had mentioned that the paths of Primordial Sages differed, which might refer to this.
This person's Dao Infant was formed from Thunder Slurry, and the heavenly treasures used seemed related to thunder and lightning.
If Shen Yi had refined this white flower, he might have electrocuted his Dao Infant.
The attributes were different, so the refinement methods must also vary.
"Go back and slowly figure it out."
Shen Yi summoned Hong Yun and glanced at the horizon.
Since the White Dragon was enraged to such an extent, it was highly likely that Jiang Qiuluan had escaped, so there was no need for excessive worry.
He had once shouldered the hopes of the entire Qingzhou, and he wasn't an ignorant child; he didn't need anyone to take care of him.
Only after breaking through to the Primordial Realm could one truly be considered to have entered the path of cultivation.
There was no one else to rely on; he could only go all out.
Shen Yi rode on Hong Yun and ascended into the sky. This battle had given him a lot of experience.
If it weren't for the Golden Bodhimanda, his current strength in the Primordial Realm was far from outstanding. His advantage lay in the robustness of his physical body, but compared to the Dao Infant, his Primordial Realm techniques were completely incomprehensible, and his realm and foundation were lacking.
In the previous encounter, if Master Chang Qing hadn't been so unfamiliar with combat, his chances of victory should have been far higher than Shen Yi's.
But in front of the Golden Bodhimanda, he was completely powerless.
Putting himself in Chang Qing's shoes, if he encountered a true Spirit Transformation Realm expert, his fate might have been even worse.
Lyuzhou, Armament Sect.
Lin Jingyi and his daughter-in-law waited with numerous disciples on the mountain peak. The entire sect had ceased its operations, and even the blacksmith disciples had put down their hammers, watching helplessly as the precious iron was wasted.
In the air, a shadow soul stood silently.
Lyuzhou's Commander-in-Chief, Hou Wanshan, had cultivated to the Upper Realm Martial Immortal. In his youth, he even had the qualifications to join the Martial Temple. However, his heart was tied to Lyuzhou, so he had been stationed here for many years.
Even if he met a temple priest, he could address them as fellow disciples.
"You don't know where he's going, you don't know who he's going to meet, and you only know about the Silver Moon Cold Lotus, but you don't know its location?"
Hou Wanshan didn't lose his temper, but his slightly deep voice made Lin Jingyi dare not even breathe.
"Senior Shen is the esteemed Patrol Commander..."
Lin Jingyi hesitated for a moment, still wanting to explain.
"If you can have your son ride the clouds to find me, why can't you send another person to follow them? Don't you have a second Cloudy Heaven Artifact in the Armament Sect?" Hou Wanshan suddenly raised his voice.
"I..."
Lin Jingyi opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Logically, this matter was solely decided by the Patrol Commander, and to catch up with them, they should have at least sent a Condensing Core Realm cultivator.
The Armament Sect didn't have that many Condensing Core cultivators to spare for such a dangerous mission outside the Great Tian Dynasty.
But it was clear that the Great Tian Dynasty never negotiated with the martial arts sects.
Usually, out of respect for the Martial Temple, the Armament Sect would get some face, but when it came to the life and death of the Patrol Commander, this bit of face became worthless.
"I'll go find them now, right now."
Lin Jingyi took out the Cloudy Heaven Artifact and climbed onto it dejectedly.
He was just a blacksmith; how could he argue with the Commander-in-Chief?
If he really couldn't find them, he could only leave his old bones outside.
"..."
Hou Wanshan gave him a disapproving look. "You must know the direction, right? I'll go with you."
An Upper Realm Martial Immortal, once outside the Great Tian Dynasty's jurisdiction, might only be able to display the strength of a Lower Realm Martial Immortal.
A Commander-in-Chief from a small place like Qingzhou or Songzhou would never dare to venture out.
But Lyuzhou was different.
As the wealthiest state, even if something unexpected happened to him, the Martial Temple would immediately send someone to replace him.
"You guys are really something!"
Hou Wanshan sighed. Why did he invite the Patrol Commander here?
Didn't Hou Wanshan know if there was a Primordial Sage in the Great Tian Dynasty? These martial artists from the rivers and lakes didn't understand the inner workings of the Martial Temple.
What Patrol Commander? He was just a junior disciple who collected a salary without doing any work.
This junior disciple was obviously too honest.
It was hard to evaluate him.
