Chapter 282: Flame Scorching Heart Palm
Chapter 282: Flame Scorching Heart Palm
He was one step closer to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Shen Yi finally felt a slight relief from the pressure that had been weighing on his heart.
As long as he could break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and with the Golden Body, he alone could control two battlefields simultaneously. With their combined strength, they could even challenge higher-level demons.
"Congratulations, my lord, on your great progress! The day you will shake the four directions is near!" Qinghua Lady offered her timely congratulations.
"..."
Shen Yi gave her a speechless glance.
He finally understood.
Whenever he felt a little arrogant, this woman would appear and douse him with a bucket of cold water.
The Primordial Profound Middle Stage cultivation was undoubtedly a dominant force in other places, but when it came to the might of Wutong Mountain and the Thousand Demon Cavern, it was simply not enough.
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yi took out a golden book, a symbol of the Temple Guardian's identity: "Take this and return to Great Qian to repair the Golden Body."
"Qinghua..."
Qinghua Lady was startled, her face filled with fear, unsure of what she had said wrong to be dismissed by her master.
She knew that her master had just slain a White Feather Demon Sovereign, and it was the right time for a replacement.
However, she had no intention of arguing and obediently lowered her head, saying, "Qinghua will return immediately... Does my lord need me to guard Great Qian?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent for a moment.
Then, he spoke softly, "No need. Go and return quickly."
Unbeknownst to him, he had gradually become a figure akin to a disciple of the Temple of Martial Arts, prioritizing the greater good and temporary setbacks...
Shen Yi didn't believe in prioritizing the greater good.
He only knew that if the Thousand Demon Cavern dragged them into a state of slow death, Great Qian would become a ruin filled with corpses, and the Nine Provinces would fall under the control of demons.
By the time that happened, seeking revenge would be pointless.
Using the Golden Body to accelerate his development, he aimed to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm in the shortest time possible, infiltrate the Thousand Demon Cavern, and adopt an offensive defense strategy as the only way to survive.
With the previous Golden Body condensation and this upcoming repair, he would likely consume eight to nine parts of Wu Shixiong's Incense Fire.
Among the remaining portions, Zhu Jue Shixiong still needed Incense Fire to condense his Golden Body, and the other three might not be willing to hand them over.
Not everyone dared to gamble everything like Wu Shixiong did, offering all of Great Qian's foundation.
Incense Fire Wish Power required time to replenish.
The fact that Great Qian once had thirteen Spirit Transformation Cultivators didn't mean they had all broken through simultaneously.
According to current estimates, the Temple of Martial Arts' entire foundation could only support the cultivation of five or six Three Zhan Golden Body Incarnations for its disciples.
This didn't include the reconstruction of the Golden Body after injuries.
In other words, Shen Yi felt that if he continued to recklessly handle situations like he did with the White Feather Demon Sovereign, he would deplete the Temple's savings after a dozen or so attempts.
Not to mention, without Incense Fire Wish Power, they wouldn't even be able to control the corpses of those few Spirit Transformation Golden Bodies, leaving Great Qian completely defenseless.
As for forcefully taking it...
Shen Yi wasn't sure if he could do such a thing, and the Ancestor within the Temple of Martial Arts was just insane, not dead. To forcibly seize the Temple's Incense Fire in front of a Six Zhan Golden Body...
To obtain other Incense Fire, he would need to accomplish something worthy of others' trust.
This gave Wu Shixiong some confidence when he made this suggestion.
For instance, sending Great Qian's group of Primordial Sages back? This alliance was essentially working for Wutong Mountain, and even Clearwind True Monarch had expressed his stance, urging Chen Zhong to return quickly. It wasn't as if they were forcing these people to leave Great Qian.
They just needed to deal with Radiant Light Cave.
"Qinghua takes her leave."
Qinghua Lady bowed respectfully and then entered her Yin Spirit, carrying the Golden Orb and departing towards Great Qian.
"..."
As Shen Yi watched the golden orb fly away, a peculiar feeling arose within him.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
In the past, he had also endured without any protection, and eventually overcame the challenges.
But now, as a Primordial Grandmaster, he felt like a helpless child, unable to adjust to even a brief separation from his Golden Body.
Could it be that the higher one's cultivation, the smaller one's courage becomes?
With this thought, Shen Yi retrieved the Inferno Heart Palm and the thick book left behind by the cave master from his Storage Artifact.
He carefully read through it once more.
The Soul Transformation Technique was incredibly abstruse, and even with the cave master's annotations, it was a headache to comprehend. However, as this thick book couldn't be incorporated into the system interface, he had no choice but to read it slowly.
Most of the book contained speculations about the Inferno Chapter.
Only a small portion was the cave master's summary of the Inferno Chapter.
Shen Yi memorized it all and then activated his Demon Lifespan to begin his comprehension.
[Soul Transformation (Rare). Inferno Heart Palm Upper Volume: Entry Level]
[First year: You have gained some understanding of the Inferno Chapter. The experiences of your predecessor resonate in your mind. This is not something a Primordial Realm cultivator can comprehend, but with your Spirit Root, you decide to attempt to master this power.]
[According to the cave master's annotations, you gradually understand the difference between the Soul Transformation Realm and the Primordial Realm.]
[The former has completely transcended mortal limits, becoming one with the essence of heaven and earth. Their Spirit Root is seamlessly integrated with their body, allowing them to effortlessly manipulate the essence of heaven and earth. This is a realm that Primordial Grandmasters cannot fathom.]
Shen Yi's Demon Lifespan rapidly diminished as he closed his eyes, absorbing the insights.
Primordial Grandmasters couldn't manipulate the essence of heaven and earth. For instance, if he wanted to condense a Purple Golden Flame, he would have to draw from the Dao Child's foundation and transform it through his Spirit Root.
The difference in the amount of power they could harness was like heaven and earth.
But it didn't matter.
Shen Yi looked at the Storage Artifact hanging at his waist, which contained the demon cores he had accumulated on his journey.
Among them were even two from Supreme Demon Kings and one from the White Feather Demon Sovereign.
With the Heaven Devouring Demonic Child's ability, he no longer needed external demon cores to digest and absorb the cultivation within to supplement his own.
His cultivation foundation was far beyond that of an ordinary Primordial Realm cultivator.
"I'll just take my time learning," Shen Yi patiently waited. With the cave master's left-behind manual, it was like having an additional Soul Transformation Realm teacher. These annotations were no less effective than verbal guidance.
Even if his comprehension ability was lacking, having a clear path to follow and compare against made it simple—he just needed to keep moving forward.
[936th year: You successfully transformed the True Yang Golden Flame filled with malevolent qi into a colorless and formless Supreme Yang Inferno, taking the most crucial step.]
[Inferno Heart Palm Upper Volume: Minor Success]
Shen Yi stood atop a high mound, his palm moving like a swimming dragon, weaving through the air.
Colorless and formless inferno flames entwined his fingertips.
Having just acquired his Spirit Root, the cultivation technique he practiced directly surpassed the Primordial Realm and even exceeded ordinary Soul Transformation Realm techniques.
He finally experienced the might of a true sect's inheritance.
As if satisfied with his experiment, Shen Yi's gentle movements suddenly became fierce. He clapped his palms, and the inferno flames escaped, growing stronger in the wind and resembling a blazing sun beside him.
The black-robed figure stood within the blazing sun.
It was like the Golden Crow spreading its wings.
Nearly three thousand years of Demon Lifespan dissipated without a trace.
[Inferno Heart Palm Upper Volume: Minor Success]
His Demon Lifespan continued to deplete, and the realm of his cultivation technique soared without pause!
