Chapter 340: The Elixir of Transformation
Chapter 340: The Elixir of Transformation
"Disciple Yanyun, by the decree of the Nanyang Sect, I hereby sentence you, the evil demon, to death."
The young man in a blue robe took out a scroll of golden pages from his sleeve and carefully unfurled it, revealing a list of crimes.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the golden pages floating towards the edge of the abyss.
The enormous demon, its true size unknown, fixed its eyes on the pages, its already minuscule pupils shrinking to near invisibility.
Immediately, a mournful wail echoed from the depths of the abyss.
"..."
Realmaster Yanyun seemed to be merely going through the motions.
After silently counting to ten breaths.
"Demon, do you admit your guilt?"
He spread out his palm and made a complex hand seal. "Purple Cloud True Thunder, heed my command and annihilate this brute!"
In the span of a breath.
The entire sky suddenly filled with countless sword shadows, each one resembling a steep mountain peak. The sword blades hung vertically, connected by chains, all pointing towards a solitary throne where a particularly sharp purple sword was embedded.
It resembled a massive palace dedicated to the storage of swords.
The young man pointed with two fingers, casually pressing down. "Cut."
As he spoke, he turned away.
Countless sword shadows descended, filling the abyss.
The two bright moons dimmed instantly and then fell towards the bottom of the abyss.
A wisp of essence blood drifted out and landed on the floating golden pages, like a drop of red ink.
Realmaster Yanyun raised his hand, and the golden pages rolled up and slipped back into his sleeve.
The next moment, the rolling clouds once again obscured Shen Yi's vision, restoring calm to the scene.
"..."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he saw Ma Guangshan shivering.
He lowered his gaze to the scroll in his hand.
A complex emotion began to well up in his eyes.
If the being in the painting was a "Realmaster," then what were the ones he had killed?
No wonder Ma Guangshan referred to it as a legendary tale.
If this were a true account, it would be an unimaginable blow to a cultivator like himself.
"Have you heard of the Nanyang Sect?" Shen Yi looked at the man with the black mole.
"Senior Shen... You don't actually believe this, do you?"
Ma Guangshan let out an awkward laugh. "Let me put it this way. This isn't exactly a secret, but there used to be a Nanyang Sect. It's said that after using this name for only three months, they were besieged by the Thousand Demon Cave. They were nearly wiped out, with only a handful of survivors, and they changed their name to Wutong Mountain to ensure their survival."
"It is rumored that from that point on, Wutong Mountain stopped accepting a large number of disciples and instead only recruited the pride of the heavens. The number of their disciples has always been controlled to around twelve."
"This incident caused such a huge stir that even though Wutong Mountain is now a transcendent power, the story still persists to this day."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi lowered his head and continued examining the storage treasure.
Aside from a stack of scrolls, there were only two tattered pieces of paper that seemed to have been left behind accidentally while removing the scrolls.
"Elixir of Transformation."
"Can be consumed by disciples who have completed the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi stages and have lived over a hundred years without cultivating a spirit root. It aids in the cultivation of a spirit root. For those over five hundred years old, the elixir is ineffective, and external objects must be sought as a substitute for the spirit root."
"Strict orders are given to those who have not yet lived over a hundred years to focus on their cultivation and refrain from consuming this elixir, as forcing growth is detrimental to the Grand Dao."
After reading the elixir formula, Shen Yi carefully folded it up.
His mind was in a daze.
From the Initial Stage to the Mixed Yuan Stage, his entire cultivation journey was referred to as the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi stages on this tattered piece of paper?
"My lord, Qinghua also saw this type of scroll for the first time. It's impossible for it to be a forgery created by another power."
The voice of Lady Qinghua echoed in Shen Yi's mind.
She had once been a member of the Thousand Demon Cave, and although she spent most of her time outside, something as outrageous as this, if there were many of them, she would have heard about it.
"I understand.
[Nanyang Transformation Art: Not Yet Initiated]
It seemed to be just a small incantation, left together with the Elixir of Transformation formula among the scroll collection.
"Alright, you may go now," Shen Yi said to Ma Guangshan.
"Senior Shen, feel free to call for me if you need anything else," Ma Guangshan replied.
The man with the black mole heaved a sigh of relief. This trip to the Thousand Demon Cave had nearly scared him out of his wits.
Especially now that he knew he had almost died at the hands of the Xuan Guang Dong.
Once he returned, he would definitely spend a few more days in fasting and meditation.
He bid farewell to Shen Yi and then, without another glance back, darted off into the sky and disappeared.
"Come out," Shen Yi waved his hand and summoned the Qingqiu Laozu. As she was still dazed, he handed her the formula for the Elixir of Transformation.
Each to their own specialty.
If they could truly refine the Elixir of Transformation, then his million years of demon lifespan would not have been spent in vain.
Although there were notes about lifespan requirements on the formula.
Shen Yi only knew that it was related to spirit roots, and he still had a True Yang Qilin Stone and Sui Mu, which were not top-grade, but he hoped that this elixir would help enhance them further.
What nonsense about "the elixir being useless," that was definitely because the quantity wasn't large enough.
Even if it really didn't work for him, it could still be used to enhance the strength of the cultivators of Da Qian, which would be fantastic.
As he watched, Qingqiu Laozu's eyes gradually cleared, and she began to study the elixir formula in her hand.
Shen Yi let out a slight sigh.
No wonder Da Qian was becoming more and more desolate. Even if Xuan Guang Dong hadn't bullied them, as a main sect cultivating Yin Shen, as they explored deeper into the caves of the Thousand Demon Cave, they would inevitably be left behind by the two immortal sects.
Anytime they discovered something in the caves, it felt like a blow from a higher dimension.
He dared not even imagine how many treasures Xuan Guang Dong and Wutong Mountain had amassed over the years.
"No wonder these demons have been guarding this place," Shen Yi muttered.
If they really opened it up to cultivators to explore, it wouldn't take long for them all to lose their heads.
After an unknown amount of time had passed.
Qingqiu Laozu finally looked up, her eyes still a little dazed, and said, "Reporting to my lord, I have looked through many ancient books, and I recognize some of the medicinal ingredients listed on this elixir formula, but they are almost impossible to find in places where spiritual energy is scarce."
"Perhaps we'll have to make another trip to the Thousand Demon Cave," Shen Yi said thoughtfully.
"However, places with abundant spiritual energy are also loved by demons and are often chosen as their lairs. It would be difficult to just waltz in and look for the ingredients..." Qingqiu Laozu added.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent for a moment.
His gaze fell on the Transformation Art in his hand.
It was clear that if his guess was correct, just as Brother Zhu Jue had said, this formula and the world it came from belonged to a massive immortal sect.
And the ones with the most information would undoubtedly be those top-tier forces besides Da Qian.
He had always been frustrated by his inability to join Xuan Guang Dong or Wutong Mountain.
But he had somehow overlooked another force...
If the immortal sects wouldn't accept him.
Why couldn't Shen Yi become the Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demon Cave?
In the next moment, he decisively spent a million years of his demon lifespan to refine a Demon Origin Pill.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 32,000 years]
He then swept his gaze over the two demon souls.
Among the demons of the Thousand Demon Cave that he had slain so far, there was the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor, the Green-Plumed Demon Emperor, and the Red-Hearted Snake Emperor.
Actually, their cultivation realm was secondary.
After all, the higher the cultivation of the demon, the more demon origin was needed to sustain it.
The Red-Hearted Snake Emperor and the Green-Plumed Demon Emperor were both mid-stage Transformation demons, and their reputations were surely greater. Many had witnessed their deaths.
Only the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor of the 40th Cave remained.
Its death had been quiet, and its cultivation was not particularly high, making it easier to imitate without being noticed.
