Chapter 282: The Heart-scorching Li Fire Palm
Chapter 282: The Heart-scorching Li Fire Palm
Shen Yi took another step closer to the realm of Li Huashen.
The pressure that had been weighing on Shen Yi's mind finally eased slightly.
As long as he could break through to the Huashen realm, coupled with his Golden Body, he would be able to control two battlefields simultaneously, and by combining their strengths, he could even challenge more powerful demons and monsters.
"Congratulations to my master on his great progress! The day of awe-inspiring the Four Directions is near!" Qinghua Furen offered her timely congratulations.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at her speechlessly.
He understood now.
Whenever he started to feel a little proud, this woman would jump out and pour cold water on his excitement.
A cultivator at the middle stage of Hunyuan was undoubtedly a formidable force in most places, but when it came to powers like Wutong Mountain and the Thousand Demon Cave, it was simply not enough.
He pondered for a moment and took out a golden booklet, a symbol of the temple priest: "Take this and return to Da Qian to repair your Golden Body."
"Qinghua..."
Qinghua Furen paused, her face filled with dread, unsure of what she had said wrong to warrant being reassigned away from her master's side.
After all, her master had just slain a White Feathered Demon Emperor, and it was the perfect time for a replacement.
But she did not intend to argue, and meekly lowered her head, "Qinghua will return at once... Does my master need me to guard Da Qian?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent for a moment.
Then he softly said, "No need, just go and come back quickly."
Unbeknownst to him, he had gradually become a figure akin to the disciples of the Wu Temple, always prioritizing the bigger picture and temporary setbacks...
Shen Yi did not believe in the so-called "bigger picture."
All he knew was that if the Thousand Demon Cave dragged them into a situation of slow death, Da Qian would become a site filled with corpses, and the Nine Provinces would fall under the occupation of demons and monsters.
By the time they thought of taking revenge... it would be meaningless.
Using the Golden Body to accelerate his development, striving to break through to the Huashen realm in the shortest time possible, invading the Thousand Demon Cave, and taking the offensive—that was the only way to survive.
With the previous condensation of the Golden Body and this subsequent repair, he would have consumed eight or nine tenths of Wu Shixiong's share of the incense power.
Out of the remaining shares, Zhu Jue Shixiong still needed incense power to condense his Golden Body, and the other three might not be willing to hand over their shares.
Not everyone would dare to gamble everything like Wu Shixiong, putting all of Da Qian's foundations on the line.
Incense power and devotional wishes took time to replenish.
The fact that Da Qian once had thirteen Huashen cultivators did not mean that all thirteen had broken through simultaneously.
According to current estimates, all the foundations of the Wu Temple would only be enough to support the disciples in condensing five or six three-zhang Golden Body Dharma images.
This did not include the reconstruction of the Golden Body after sustaining injuries.
In other words, Shen Yi felt that if he kept acting recklessly like he did against the White Feathered Demon Emperor, he would deplete all of Wu Temple's reserves in a dozen or so attempts.
Not to mention, without the incense power and devotional wishes, they wouldn't even be able to control those few Huashen Golden Bodies, leaving Da Qian completely defenseless.
As for forcefully taking it...
Setting aside whether Shen Yi could do such a thing, the old ancestor within the Wu Temple was not dead, only insane. Snatching the incense power in front of a six-zhang Golden Body...
If he wanted to obtain other incense power, he would have to do something worthy of convincing others.
That was why Wu Shixiong had some confidence when he made the suggestion.
For example, sending back the group of Hunyuan Grandmasters from Da Qian? This alliance was already working for Wutong Mountain, and even Qingfeng Zhenren had expressed his stance, urging Chen Zhong to return soon. It wasn't as if they were forcing this group to leave Da Qian.
As long as they dealt with Xuanguang Cave, it would be enough.
"Qinghua retires."
Qinghua Furen bowed respectfully and then entered Yin Shen, carrying the golden pearl and heading in the direction of Da Qian.
He then let out a self-deprecating laugh.
After all, he had endured and survived through countless hardships in the past when he had no protection.
Now that he had reached the Hunyuan realm, why did he feel like a pampered child, uneasy about being separated from his Golden Body for a moment?
Could it be that the higher one's cultivation, the more timid one becomes?
With this thought, Shen Yi retrieved the Li Huo Fen Xin Palm from his storage artifact, along with the thick book left by the Cave Master after his deductions.
He carefully perused it once more.
The Huashen cultivation technique was exceedingly profound, and even with the annotations, it was a headache to decipher. Nonetheless, since he couldn't incorporate the book into his panel, he would have to study it slowly.
Most of the content comprised speculations about the Fen Xin chapter.
Only a small portion summarized the Li Huo chapter, which Shen Yi committed to memory before mobilizing the demons' lifespan essence to begin his deductions.
[Huashen (Rare) . Li Huo Fen Xin Palm, Upper Volume: Not Yet Initiated]
[In the first year, you have gained some understanding of the Li Huo chapter. The experiences of your predecessors echo in your mind. This is not something that those in the Hunyuan realm can grasp, but with your spiritual root, you've decided to attempt to master this power.]
[Based on the annotations left by the Cave Master, you gradually comprehend the distinction between the Huashen and Hunyuan realms.]
[The former has completely transcended the mortal body, their very being an embodiment of the world's essence. Their spiritual root is fused with their physical form, allowing them to effortlessly harness the world's essence—a realm utterly incomprehensible to Hunyuan masters.]
As the lifespan essence of the demons rapidly diminished, Shen Yi closed his eyes to assimilate his insights.
Hunyuan masters are incapable of harnessing the world's essence. For instance, if he wanted to condense purple-gold flames, he would have to draw from the foundation of his Dao Infant and transform it through his spiritual root.
The quantity of essence that the two could harness was vastly different.
However, that was not a concern.
Shen Yi glanced at his storage artifact, which hung at his waist, containing the demonic cores he had accumulated on his journey.
Among them were even two from extreme realm demon kings and one from the White-Feathered Demon Emperor.
Coupled with the Swallowing Heaven Dao Infant's ability, he could now directly digest the cultivation within demonic cores to supplement his own, without the need for external pills.
His foundation was far from what an ordinary Hunyuan master could compare to.
"There's no rush to learn."
Shen Yi patiently waited, knowing that with the Cave Master's left-behind tome, it was as if he had gained a Huashen master as a teacher. The annotations within were no less effective than oral teachings.
Even if his comprehension ability was lacking, having a clear path to follow and compare against, he just needed to forge ahead.
[936th year, you successfully transformed the True Yang Golden Flames filled with demonic energy into colorless and formless Supreme Yang Li Fire, taking the most crucial step.]
[Li Huo Fen Xin Palm, Upper Volume: Initiated]
Shen Yi stood atop a high mound, his palms moving like swimming dragons, weaving through the air around him.
Colorless and formless Li Fire coiled around his fingertips.
Having just obtained his spiritual root, the cultivation technique he learned skipped right past the Hunyuan realm and even surpassed the average Huashen realm technique.
He finally got a taste of what it was like to learn from a prominent sect.
Seemingly satisfied with his experimentation, Shen Yi's gentle movements suddenly turned fierce as he thrust out a palm. The Li Fire left his palm and, fanned by the wind, grew into a blazing sun beside him.
Moxuan's figure was enveloped by this sun.
It was like the golden crow spreading its wings.
Nearly three thousand years' worth of demon lifespan essence was exhausted in an instant.
[Li Huo Fen Xin Palm, Upper Volume: Minor Achievement]
As his lifespan continued to deplete, the realm of his technique soared relentlessly!
