Chapter 253: The Golden Body Imprisons the Demon
Chapter 253: The Golden Body Imprisons the Demon
The moment Shen Yi unleashed his golden body, the situation in the room shifted.
Even though the golden body was only seven feet tall and not yet a fully realized Sage, it was still the only "normal" golden body cultivator in the Great Qian Dynasty at the moment.
With the Old Ancestor still recovering from his injuries, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Shen Yi was now the helmsman of the crumbling Wu Temple.
Zhu Jue was astonished by this turn of events.
His junior brother had revealed his true cultivation, signifying that he had decided to stand up against the impending threat.
For a Sage realm cultivator, their top priority before their realm stabilized was to ensure their own safety.
Everything else could be temporarily set aside.
Even the lives of these Grand Unity realm masters.
"...”
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue turned to the young man beside him, his eyes filled with emotion.
Not only was his junior brother's talent astonishing, but he also had such a strong sense of responsibility.
Shen Yi had not only lived up to Little Wu's trust but had also proven to be even more dependable than expected.
However.
Little Wu's instinctive request for his junior brother to retract his golden body indicated that she did not intend to accept his offer of help. She wanted him to continue his cultivation until he became a true powerhouse capable of awe-inspiring the world.
"Go back now, I want to be alone for a while."
Wu Dao'an seemed a little distracted as he urged Shen Yi to leave the Wu Temple.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Jue had released golden light earlier, providing a prelude of sorts, that when Wu Dao'an saw the golden body, he didn't faint on the spot.
Now, as he thought about it carefully, he felt more terrified than delighted.
What had all the Grand Unity realm masters in the Wu Temple, including himself, accomplished after consuming vast amounts of incense wishes and spending countless years?
If they had given these resources to Shen Yi a hundred years earlier, perhaps the Wu Temple would have already built its grand hall on top of the Thousand Demon Cave by now.
Shen Yi and Zhu Jue glanced at the dazed old man, shook their heads, picked up the wooden box from the ground, and left the hall together.
No one mentioned the deaths of the two Grand Unity realm masters again.
Until they had sufficient strength, everything else was just empty talk.
"Heh."
When only Wu Dao'an was left in the Wu Temple, he slowly walked to the foot of the Old Ancestor's statue, looked up at the enraged yet lifeless face, hesitated for a moment, and then used his sleeve to wipe the offering tables on both sides. He then tried to climb up and sit cross-legged on the left side.
After feeling the cold, hard surface of the offering table, he felt that it wasn't very comfortable.
He opened his mouth in a silent laugh.
Although Shen Yi wasn't yet strong enough to truly change anything, he had given Wu Dao'an a glimmer of hope.
Given time, the Great Qian Dynasty would no longer have to rely on the Xianmen Sect to guard the Nine Provinces.
The Grand Unity realm masters born in this land would no longer have to act as trailblazing hounds for the Xuan Guang Cave, always feeling inferior.
...
In the Wu Temple's Court Alpha.
Shen Yi bid farewell to his senior brother Zhu Jue, who was currently at a crucial stage of breaking through his realm and no longer needed assistance.
Alone again in his courtyard, Shen Yi closed the door out of habit and sat down by his bed, closing his eyes to recall the Dao Infant remains he had seen earlier.
One of the corpses was almost identical to the Evergreen True Man, while the other was slightly inferior, with only a spiritual root in its heart.
An Upper Realm Grand Unity master and a Middle Realm Grand Unity master? Either one of them could have easily dealt with the demon infestation in Qingzhou, yet they had perished without a trace.
It seemed that the situation outside was even more dangerous than he had imagined.
With his impending departure from the Great Qian Dynasty, Shen Yi knew that he had to be fully prepared.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 14,312 years]
The moment his consciousness touched the origin, a bunch of strange and hideous demon remnants once again appeared before his eyes.
Shen Yi quickly found the shattered remains of the white dragon among them.
The next moment, the demon soul began to condense.
A familiar wail echoed in Shen Yi's mind, but this time it had turned into a dragon's roar.
As time passed slowly,
A white dragon shadow, reduced to a much smaller size, gradually solidified. It was about three feet long, coiling its dragon body and hanging in the room.
Its eyes were filled with reverence as it exclaimed, "White Dragon pays respect to my master!"
"Tell me everything you know about the demons, cultivators' caves, and heavenly treasures and resources." Shen Yi had no intention of exchanging pleasantries.
"Reporting to the master, White Dragon has been a recluse for almost a thousand years and has only befriended a fox demon from Qingqiu, who has already been slain by you, my master. As for heavenly treasures, there is a Silver Moon Cold Lotus, but it was stolen by a shameless female thief..."
What a surprise, he had managed to condense two demon souls.
One was a reclusive lady, and the other was a reclusive dragon.
Shen Yi waved his hand in exasperation and directly stored it into the panel.
[Hybrid (Rare): White Dragon Demon King]
As expected of a demon king comparable to an extreme realm Grandmaster of the Hybrid Cultivation Path, ten thousand years of its lifespan was worth twice that of Lady Qinghua.
Shen Yi's mood improved slightly, and he took out the Temple Celebrant's Golden Book and placed it in his palm.
Then, he channeled the demon's lifespan, infusing it into the Arhat Golden Body technique.
According to his guess, since he could subdue Qinghua's spirit with her thoughts, he should be able to do the same with other demon souls.
Wouldn't such a huge golden body be able to accommodate two demons?
However, the prompt that appeared on the panel soon made Shen Yi frown.
[Year 1: You continue to digest the incense wishes, refining them into golden light. The complicated thoughts once again flood your mind, and you suddenly recall the past torments. Instinctively, you call out to Qinghua and White Dragon, hoping to replicate the process.]
[Year 10: With Qinghua's help, the two of you begin to try to forcibly suppress the stray thoughts into White Dragon's spirit. Unfortunately, the progress is not smooth. Originally, Qinghua was able to do so because of her fusion with the Yin Spirit. But White Dragon has no connection to the Yin Spirit or the Golden Body. You ponder how to imprison it within the Golden Body.]
[Year 36: You suggest imitating the Demon's Nine Sheddings technique to confine White Dragon within the Golden Body. Qinghua ponders your suggestion, attempting to transform the Golden Body into a vast prison.]
[Year 890: Your ideas gradually turn into actions, and the Arhat Golden Body technique undergoes a transformation.]
[Year 1,700: Qinghua forcibly imprisons White Dragon within the Golden Body. You follow closely behind, once again digesting the incense wishes and suppressing the stray thoughts into White Dragon's body.]
Wait, how did a decent Golden Body technique turn into a demon martial art again?
Shen Yi looked at the panel with a puzzled expression.
As if to validate his thoughts, two more prompts immediately appeared.
[Learned: Spirit Transformation (Rare) . Golden Body Imprisonment Technique]
[Using the Golden Body as an endless demon prison, suppressing all demons under the heavens]
The deduction became increasingly smooth, and the demon's lifespan flowed away like water, causing the dense white mist to thin at a visible rate.
[Golden Body Imprisonment Technique: Entry Level]
The technique had broken through, but the commotion did not stop.
Until one-fifth of the incense wishes of the Great Qian Dynasty were devoured, with seventy percent of them being consumed.
The remaining demon lifespan of over ten thousand years was directly depleted.
Shen Yi fell silent, walked out of the house, summoned Red Cloud, and soared into the sky.
Just now, the words about White Dragon on the panel had disappeared.
