Chapter 327: When One Attains Immortality, Even One's Chicken and Dog Rise to Heaven
Chapter 327: When One Attains Immortality, Even One's Chicken and Dog Rise to Heaven
Whether it was the stage of attracting spirits or the final growth of the Dao Infant, an enormous amount of time and vast resources were required. However, Shen Yi had long ago prepared both.
[4,600 years have passed, and you have transformed into the Heaven-Devouring Demon Infant, bathing in demon blood to nurture yourself. Now, with your organs and meridians complete and unblocked, the original shackles have finally been broken, and you are freely absorbing the essence of the world.]
Shen Yi's Dao Infant body slowly grew, no longer as insubstantial as before, but as solid as his physical body.
[7,300 years have passed, and your physical body has become too powerful, causing your breakthrough to be incredibly slow. Finally, the first piece of flesh begins to shatter and merge with the Dao Infant.]
Shen Yi watched as his arm turned into strands of meat, revealing the new flesh underneath.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Infant was no longer the crimson color it had been before; after fusing with his physical body, it had turned into a glowing, pale figure.
[14,000 years have passed, and your smooth progress is once again hindered by the Nine-Headed Immortal Beast sealed within your body. As your physical body shatters, they instinctively want to return to the world, and you hesitate about whether to discard them.]
"What a joke," Shen Yi said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. How could he let something that had been consumed by him escape?
As his thoughts changed, the faintly shattered crimson patterns were tightly locked onto the surface of his new body. Instead of feeding them demon blood, he directly enveloped them with the Blood River.
Above the crimson patterns, a thick, bloody aura began to rise towards the sky. Before his very eyes, it transformed into nine hideous, ferocious beasts that spanned the sky, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
A dragon writhed in the cloud sea, its solitary horn disintegrating and transforming into two magnificent antlers. On each dragon claw, a new sharp claw slowly protruded.
A mountain lord descended from the mountains like a tiger, scarlet wings suddenly spreading from its shoulder blades, and its sturdy limbs seemed to contain unparalleled power.
The pitted skin of the poison toad quickly became smooth and glossy, like white jade, with a crystalline network of red veins running through it, as if it had been born that way.
These once-ordinary demons were all transforming into terrifying beasts.
A peacock displayed its magnificent tail, like a gorgeous coronet. A blue lion took lazy steps, and a white wolf king howled at the moon, its entire body snow-white.
"...”
Shen Yi watched the changes in the sky, but the nine demons were actually within his body. It was just that his body could no longer conceal the extraordinary changes they were undergoing, and they were reflected in the sky.
[24,000 years have passed. You have recaptured the Nine Demons and continue to break through your own boundaries. Until the last piece of flesh is devoured by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Infant, you have shed your mortal shell.]
In just a short sentence, Shen Yi's eyes widened in astonishment.
After refining his first spiritual root, he had seen the stray beings between heaven and earth for the first time. And now, he suddenly realized that he could sense the consciousness of these stray beings and even call out to them.
"Heart-Burning Palm of Leaving Fire," Shen Yi said, slowly extending his palm. In the next moment, the aura within a hundred miles responded to his call.
Nine rounds of leaving fire took shape beside him, forming a great sun.
Compared to the previous ones, these seemed to contain an even more terrifying power within their gently swaying figures.
Shen Yi waved his hand slightly, and the leaving fire sun returned to the heavens, merging back into the aura of the world.
Throughout the entire process, he had not used any of his own accumulated power.
Deceiving heaven and earth and becoming its peer—Shen Yi finally understood this point.
"So, if I were to fight someone with my higher-quality spiritual root, I would be more like a creature of nature than my opponent. In the same area of a hundred miles, if the attribute of the spiritual energy they summon is similar to mine, they simply cannot compete with me and can only rely on their own reserves.
Second was a comparison of who had a deeper affinity with the spiritual energy.
Lastly, and quite importantly, was whether one possessed the corresponding cultivation techniques to utilize the spiritual energy effectively after attaining a sufficient amount.
His current advantage lay in possessing five types of spirit roots, all of extremely high quality.
The drawback was that he had just broken through, so his range of perception was minuscule, and he only knew a single cultivation technique—the Heart-Burning Palm of Leaving Fire.
Shen Yi turned his attention to the status panel.
Remaining Demon Lifespan: 36,600 years
A large portion had been consumed by the Demon Martial Arts, and he almost forgot about his hungry Golden Body.
Shen Yi stood up calmly and slowly.
Unlike his previous breakthrough to the Mixed Element Realm, where he had to rush to save Qingzhou, this breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm felt peaceful.
However, for him, it was like opening the door to a whole new world. He had finally embarked on the true path of cultivation, beginning to unravel the secrets and truths of the various realms.
In the desolate hills,
A figure in a blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, blending with the heavens and earth, serene and content.
The next moment, he quietly disappeared from his original spot.
...
"Master, look!"
Tang Yuan, riding on fiery clouds, followed closely behind Qingfeng Zhenren.
His eyes widened as he looked towards the horizon.
Nine exotic beasts with nine heads each strolled along the edge of the sky, their mighty presence creating a profound and mysterious spectacle.
"Is that a Dao Palace?!"
"..."
Qingfeng Zhenren's expression turned solemn, but he still berated his disciple, "You know nothing about Dao Palaces."
Tang Yuan muttered softly, "But I've seen Nie Xian's Purple Cloud Thunder Sword Palace..."
"Nie Shixiong's palace isn't a true Dao Palace either; it's merely a rudimentary form."
Qingfeng Zhenren hesitated for a moment but still flew towards the direction of the beasts.
What a joke.
Only his Master possessed such a thing, and now he was seeing it casually on the side of the road.
It probably only had the shape of a Dao Palace.
However, not just anyone could create such a "shape."
Qingfeng Zhenren cautiously drew closer.
Tang Yuan whispered from behind, "Master, are you scared?"
"Bullshit! Pure bullshit!"
Qingfeng Zhenren adjusted his wide sleeves, his face reddening, "I'm not afraid of Nie Kun, so why would I be afraid of some unknown cultivator?"
Mustering his courage, he took a few more steps forward, "I'm just worried about disturbing our fellow cultivator's meditation."
"Master, shall we go and greet them?"
Tang Yuan was eager and full of curiosity.
"Then let's go."
Qingfeng Zhenren straightened his Daoist robe.
He also patted the hem of his robe.
Suddenly, he saw the nine exotic beasts dissipate, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you see that? They sensed my presence and dispersed, indicating they don't wish to interact."
"But we're still so far away."
Before Tang Yuan could finish his sentence, his master smacked him on the head twice.
"I've noticed that after going out on your own, you've become more impudent. Come back to Wutong Mountain with me, and I'll put you under house arrest to temper your character!"
Qingfeng Zhenren grabbed Tang Yuan by the collar and pulled him along as they flew back to Wutong Mountain.
When they returned, he planned to ask his fellow disciples about the technique that could create such a scene resembling a Dao Palace.
If he could learn it too,
It would be so much easier to impress people in the future.
