Chapter 327: One's Enlightenment, Elevating All
Chapter 327: One's Enlightenment, Elevating All
Whether in the Spirit Guidance Phase or the final growth of the Dao Infant, an immense amount of time and vast resources are required.
However, Shen Yi had already gathered both.
【In the four thousand six hundredth year, you transformed into the Heaven Devouring Fiendling, using the River of Demon Blood as your pool, nurturing yourself. Now, your Five Viscera are complete, and your Major Meridians and Acupoints are well-connected. The original shackles are finally broken, and you freely absorb the Essence of Heaven and Earth.】
Shen Yi's Dao Infant body slowly grew.
No longer as insubstantial as before, it became as solid as his physical body.
Until the Heaven Devouring Fiendling completely merged with his flesh.
【In the seven thousand three hundredth year, your physical body was too powerful, causing your breakthrough to be extremely slow. Finally, the first strand of your skin began to shatter, merging into the Dao Infant.】
Shen Yi watched helplessly as his arm turned into strands of flesh, revealing new skin beneath.
The Heaven Devouring Fiendling, no longer the previous scarlet color, transformed into a white, glowing appearance after merging with his flesh.
【In the fourteen thousandth year, your smooth progress was once again hindered by the Nine-Headed Immortal Demons trapped within your body. As your physical body shattered, they instinctively sought to return to the heavens. You hesitated, wondering if you should abandon them.】
"What a joke."
A cold light flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
After eating what they had, they still wanted to escape. Such a good deal was unheard of in the world.
As his mind changed, the faintly shattered vermilion patterns were tightly locked onto the surface of his new body, no longer feeding them Demonic Blood, but directly covering them with the River of Blood.
Above the vermilion patterns, thick Blood Qi began to rise towards the skies.
At a visible speed, it transformed into nine fierce beasts, spanning the sky and brandishing their claws.
A dragon writhed in the sea of clouds, its horn disintegrating, transforming into two magnificent antlers. On each dragon claw, a new sharp claw slowly emerged.
The Mountain Lord descended like a fierce tiger, its shoulders suddenly spreading scarlet wings, and its sturdy limbs seemed to contain unparalleled power.
The venomous toad's bumpy skin quickly became smooth and glossy, like white jade, with a network of translucent red veins inside.
These once-ordinary demons were all transforming into terrifying beasts.
The peacock displayed its long tail like a magnificent crown, the green lion lazily strolled, and the white wolf king howled at the moon.
"..."
Shen Yi watched the changes in the sky, but the nine demons were still within his body.
However, his body could no longer conceal their transformation, reflecting their strange appearances in the sky.
【In the twenty-four thousandth year, you recaptured the nine demons, continuing to break through your realm until the last strand of flesh was absorbed by the Heaven Devouring Fiendling, and you had shed your mortal body.】
A brief prompt.
But surprise flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
After refining the first Spirit Root, he witnessed the stray objects between heaven and earth for the first time.
And now, he suddenly realized he could perceive the consciousness of these stray objects and even call them.
"Flameheart Palm."
Shen Yi slowly extended his palm, and in the next moment, the Essence Energy within a hundred li responded.
Nine Departing Fire Suns gathered beside him.
Compared to the previous ones, these seemed to contain even more terrifying power within their slightly swaying forms.
With a slight wave of Shen Yi's hand, the Flame Suns transformed back into Essence Energy and returned to the heavens.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't use any of his stored Essence Energy.
Deceiving heaven and becoming its kin.
Shen Yi finally understood this.
"So, when fighting against others, if my Spirit Root quality is higher, I'm more like a creature of heaven and earth. Within the same hundred li, if the opponent manipulates Essence Energy similar to mine, they can't compete with me and can only use their own reserves.
Shen Yi now had a rough idea of how to gauge one's strength in this new realm.
First was the range of Essence Energy one could manipulate.
Second was the affinity with the Essence Energy.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, was whether one had the corresponding cultivation techniques to utilize the Essence Energy effectively.
His current advantage lay in possessing five Spirit Roots, all of exceptional quality.
The drawback was that he had just broken through, so his perception range was limited, and he only knew a single cultivation technique, the Flameheart Palm.
Shen Yi glanced at the panel.
【Remaining Demon Lifespan: 36,600 years】
Most of it was consumed by Demon Martial Arts, and he almost forgot about the hungry Golden Body.
Shen Yi calmly stood up.
Compared to when he broke through to Profound Origin, where Qingzhou awaited his salvation, this breakthrough to Soul Transformation seemed peaceful.
But for him, it was like opening a door to a new world; he had finally embarked on the true path of cultivation and began to grasp the essence of this realm.
In the desolate hills, a figure in a green robe stood with hands behind his back, blending into the heavens and earth, content and at ease.
The next moment, he quietly disappeared from his original spot.
...
"Master, look!"
Tang Yuan rode on a cloud of fire, following behind Clearwind Master.
Suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked towards the horizon.
Nine rare and exotic beasts strolled across the sky, their might was awe-inspiring, forming a mystic scene.
"Is that a Dao Palace?!"
"..."
Clearwind Master's face turned solemn, but he still scolded him, "You don't know anything about Dao Palaces."
Tang Yuan muttered, "But I've seen Senior Brother Nie's Purple Heaven Thunder Sword Palace..."
"Senior Brother Nie's palace isn't a true Dao Palace either; it's just a rough prototype."
Clearwind Master hesitated for a moment but still flew towards that direction.
What a joke.
That was something only his master possessed, and he wouldn't casually encounter it by the roadside.
It was just an empty shell.
But even this "shell" wasn't something anyone could create.
Clearwind Master cautiously approached.
Tang Yuan quietly followed behind, "Master, are you scared?"
"Nonsense! Pure nonsense!"
Clearwind Master adjusted his wide sleeves, his face turning red, "I'm not afraid of Senior Brother Nie, why would I fear an unknown cultivator?"
Gathering his courage, he took a few more steps forward, "I'm just worried about disturbing his cultivation."
"Master, should we greet him?"
Tang Yuan was eager, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"Let's go then."
Clearwind Master straightened his Taoist robe.
He patted his robe again.
Suddenly, the nine exotic beasts disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you see that? They sensed my presence and didn't want to interact."
"But we're still so far away."
Before Tang Yuan could finish his sentence, he was harshly tapped on the head twice by his master.
"After going out for a stroll, I've found that you've become more foolish. Return to the mountain with me for confinement and work on tempering your character!"
Clearwind Master grabbed Tang Yuan's collar and pulled him as they flew towards Wutong Mountain.
When they returned, he planned to ask his senior brothers about the method used to create such a scene, so similar to a Dao Palace.
If he could learn it too, it would be much easier to impress others in the future.
