Chapter 329: There's No Need to Thank Me
Chapter 329: There's No Need to Thank Me
Alone in the room, Shen Yi relished the unprecedented sense of tranquility and lazily lay on the bed. He couldn't remember the last time he had truly rested.
Staring at the empty ceiling, his mind drifted back to that night in Boyun County, after he had exhausted himself slaying the dog demon. That had been the deepest sleep he'd had in a long while.
But from the moment he opened his eyes that day, Shen Yi never looked back. Now, he carefully explored this new body, taking in all its intricacies.
After a brief moment of relaxation, he sat up and summoned the White Feather Demon Emperor and Qinghua.
Having faced off in magical battles several times, Qinghua's once coquettish eyes now held a more solemn sharpness to them, no longer a mere imitation of Shen Yi, but a true reflection of his own demeanor.
"How do you feel?" Shen Yi asked, looking at her.
"I am willing to face a thousand deaths for my master," Qinghua replied respectfully, and she truly proved this with her actions. No matter how powerful the enemy, she always faced them with the most valiant stance.
"Can you continue?" Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.
"My master, please do as you wish. I, Qinghua, will do my best to endure," she replied.
Qinghua, having harmonized with Shen Yi's shadow soul for a long time, was now able to perform far beyond her previous capabilities.
"I'll help you improve further when the opportunity arises," Shen Yi assured her.
He then condensed another Demon Origin Pill and fed it to the White Feather Demon Emperor.
"Qinghua thanks the master for his grace!" Qinghua gratefully performed a grand kneeling ritual, showing no hint of envy towards the White Feather Demon Emperor. Though the Demon Emperor had the Demon Origin Pill, she had earned her master's promise.
"Thank you, Master," the White Feather Demon Emperor said.
Soon, it had digested the Demon Origin Pill, and its consciousness gradually became clearer.
"There's no need to thank me," Shen Yi said, shaking his head slightly as he turned his attention to the panel.
[Demon Emperor (Incomplete): White Feather Demon Emperor]
As expected, it wasn't enough.
Having already used two pills, Shen Yi didn't hesitate further and immediately condensed another Demon Origin Pill, feeding it to the White Feather Demon Emperor.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 16,600 years]
The more complete the demon's soul, the more incense-related distractions it could endure later on.
Using up 20,000 years of demon lifespan had an incredibly noticeable effect.
[Demon Emperor: White Feather Demon Emperor]
The white crane once again exuded the majestic aura of a Demon Emperor.
Shen Yi and Qinghua exchanged a glance and then directly put both demons into the panel.
Manipulating the demon lifespan, he channeled it into the Golden Body Imprisoning Buddha Law.
This was a precious golden body technique he had created himself.
With utmost familiarity, Shen Yi took out four golden books, and nearly 80% of the incense aspirations from the Great Qian Dynasty converged, forming an endless cloud sea that filled his vision.
[First year: You and Qinghua skillfully imprison the White Feather Demon Emperor, beginning the process of digesting the incense aspirations, and imprisoning the distracting thoughts within the demon's soul.]
At the same time, the incense aspirations started to rapidly repair the golden pearl.
Shen Yi watched as the vast cloud sea rushed towards him, feeling the warmth it brought, and his expression relaxed slightly.
As expected of a shortcut.
The cultivation of the Dao Infant and the tempering of the body, no matter how smooth the process, would always bring some pain.
Only the cultivation of the shadow soul was a true pleasure.
[3,300th year: Your cooperation with Qinghua becomes increasingly seamless. Fortunately, the White Feather Demon Emperor's soul is extremely stable, barely managing to withstand the onslaught, thus saving you a lot of time.]
[Golden Body Imprisoning Buddha Law: Minor Accomplishment]
It had now reached a height of three zhang.
As Shen Yi observed the changes in the golden pearl within his body, he noticed its color beginning to transform, gradually turning into a deeper, more lustrous gold.
In addition to the change in size, its quality had also improved.
[12,000th year: The White Feather Demon Emperor has been completely occupied by distracting thoughts, but you are not yet satisfied. Determined to make full use of it, you continue to pour the distracting thoughts into it.]
[Golden Body Imprisoning Buddha Law: Major Accomplishment]
Shen Yi watched as half of the cloud sea disappeared, and the deduction continued.
He arrived at an open area outside the Imperial City and summoned the golden pearl.
It was also woven with golden threads, but its aura was completely different.
Three zhang... six zhang...
Shen Yi raised his eyes to the six zhang and seven chi tall Golden Body manifestation in front of him, and a pleased expression finally appeared on his face.
Even the golden dragon on its arm had grown bigger, exuding a formidable and fierce aura.
However, the most significant change was in the manifestation itself.
Its massive yet sturdy body now had several semi-transparent dark golden feathered robes on its back, swaying slightly and exuding an indescribable splendor.
If it was like a demonic Arhat before.
Now, it looked more like a domineering righteous god.
Through the feathered robes, one could also see faint crimson patterns.
"This should be even better than the mid-stage of Becoming a God, right?"
With just over 30,000 years of demon lifespan, it had crossed the three zhang and six zhang thresholds without any hindrance along the way.
Compared to the Primordial Way, the cost-effectiveness was immeasurably better.
Not to mention if it were to be shattered and needed repair.
If a Nascent Soul formed through the Primordial Way were to be shattered, it would lead to the dissipation of one's cultivation and death, without even a chance to heal.
If one had to speak of a disadvantage.
On the contrary, for minor injuries, it couldn't be healed using the energy of the heaven and earth, and it still had to rely on incense aspirations. Once the incense aspirations were insufficient, it would be plagued by invasive thoughts despite the injuries not being severe.
Of course, the Old Ancestor of the Martial Temple didn't fall into this category, and he must have been subjected to some other means.
"My master's power is indeed mighty, and Qinghua is indeed a bit uncomfortable, but it won't affect normal magical battles."
Qinghua responded in a timely manner.
"Alright, let's return."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, recalling the golden pearl back into his qi sea, with Qinghua by his side.
The demon's lifespan was once again running low.
He turned his gaze towards a certain place. It was time to start hunting.
Taking advantage of the fact that the matter in Qingqiu had not yet fermented in the Thousand Demon Cave, there were still many things he could do.
He had to make good use of his time.
Qinghua cautiously pointed with her finger to the other side and reminded him, "Master, the Thousand Demon Cave is over there."
...
In the Great Qian Dynasty, at the Martial Temple.
Zhu Jue accompanied the Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family on a stroll, intending to familiarize him with the layout of the Imperial City.
Most of the main cities in the Nine Provinces were built according to the Imperial City, with only differences in size.
Both of them tacitly did not mention the Primordial Light Cave.
Before Shen Yi truly became a existence that could awe the immortal sects, this matter would only bring unnecessary trouble.
"If Senior has any requests, just send someone to inform me directly."
Zhu Jue smiled, "The collection in the Martial Arsenal cannot be considered abundant, but we do not lack common materials."
"Understood."
The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family paid close attention to their surroundings.
He was seriously considering the construction of various formations.
If possible, he really didn't want to go back to that godforsaken place.
In the courtyards of the Martial Temple.
Disciples from all over the place curiously glanced at the old man.
Although they couldn't see Zhu Jue, it was obvious that there was a Yin spirit accompanying him, and the last time someone received such treatment was that Shen Temple Celebrant.
Among the quiet crowd.
A bald man's pupils narrowed even further.
He stared fixedly at the plain jade pendant at the old man's waist.
Until the Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family sensed something and turned his head in confusion, then he quickly averted his gaze and quietly left the crowd.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Jue asked curiously.
"It's nothing... maybe I'm just not used to it since I haven't been out for a long time."
The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't want outsiders to look down on him.
But after years of seclusion, he had indeed become a bit eccentric.
He still had a lot to learn about cultivating a lofty demeanor.
