Chapter 374: Return to Void Technique
Chapter 374: Return to Void Technique
Shen Yi seemed to be in a trance.
Whenever he saw a bookshelf that had been broken open, he would reach out, take out a jade slip, and then throw it back.
The sound of banging echoed, causing the Xuan Ming Spider Emperor's eyes to twitch.
Although these items were not very useful, they were all painstakingly created by the Spider Emperor, and each one required hundreds or even thousands of years to break open.
To have them casually inspected by this lion was like feeding a cow with peonies.
Finally, Shen Yi seemed to tire and put the last jade slip back.
"I thought it was something good, worth your vigilance. Is this all?"
He turned around, and the golden light in his eyes almost dissipated due to his fluctuating emotions.
[Return to Void. Boundless Dao Imperial Palace: Unlocked]
This was the first cultivation technique Shen Yi saw among the many jade slips he had flipped through that did not require any prerequisites.
The first line was a marked reminder, indicating that it was obtained by a senior from the sect who had traveled the world, and its origins were unknown.
Perhaps because it was too precious, it was included in the Repository of Secrets and placed together with the other jade slips.
"Hmph, you are the second person besides this Emperor to have seen these things. Don't be foolish."
The Xuan Ming Spider Emperor rearranged the jade slips and emitted a cold rebuke.
It could show some leniency to this lion, but that didn't mean it would tolerate the disregard for hierarchy.
"Who else has seen them?" Shen Yi glanced sideways.
"There's another... what does it have to do with you!"
The Xuan Ming Spider Emperor spoke subconsciously and then glared at him in annoyance.
But a young figure in a green robe suddenly appeared in its mind.
At the brink of life and death, this person in the Incarnation stage successfully visualized the prototype of the Dao Palace, severely injuring the Spider Emperor and escaping by fighting six opponents alone.
On that occasion, Nie Jun had taken away many cultivation technique jade slips that the Spider Emperor had spent years breaking the formations to obtain.
And because of this precedent,
The old dog ordered the Spider Emperor not to touch the treasures in the Repository of Secrets again.
"Anyway, if that person dares to come again, they will surely die!"
"..."
Seeing the Spider Emperor's furious expression, Shen Yi instantly understood the identity of that person.
To anger the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns and still survive.
It could only be the group of cultivators from Wutong Mountain.
It's probably not the Azure Deer Ancestor, as he led the Three Alliance to confront the Thousand Demons Cave, so he's most likely a Return to Void stage cultivator. If the demons could kill him, they would have done so long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.
It seems that Nie Jun is even stronger than I thought. As long as he doesn't come to the Thousand Demons Cave, even these Great Demon Sovereigns can't do anything to him.
If it's not necessary, I should avoid wandering around in a demon's body to prevent drawing unnecessary attention and becoming a target for that killer.
"Fine, I'll let you see it."
The Xuan Ming Spider Emperor curled back and took out a scroll from the corner of the desk, throwing it to the lion, "Here, with your intellect, you can take a look at this."
Shen Yi took the scroll in his hand.
On the scroll were the words "Reflections on Seeing Princess Zilan Bathing."
"..."
To avoid suspicion, he forced himself to infuse his divine soul into the scroll.
A scene similar to the previous one unfolded in his mind.
As the mist dissipated, a pool of azure blue lake came into view, surrounded by various cultivators, each exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.
Some stood on treasure boats, while others rode on golden-scaled beasts.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the lake.
This surprised Shen Yi a little. What kind of fairy was this, that so many people gathered to admire her bath?
In an instant, ripples appeared on the azure lake surface.
A white dragon, nearly a hundred zhang long, leaped out of the lake, its long beard glowing with purple light, and its body coiling with an unusual sense of beauty.
It circled around, its clear eyes filled with disdain and helplessness.
Then, without looking back, it disappeared into the clouds.
The scene froze, and mist enveloped it.
Shen Yi withdrew his divine soul and was about to speak when a prompt appeared on the board.
[Return to Void. Dragon Leap Celestial Virgin: Unlocked]
His eyelids twitched slightly.
This was not a bathing painting but a cultivation technique.
The cultivators of the Southern Yang Sect, by merely observing the purple-bearded white dragon bathing, had comprehended a Return to Void level movement technique.
"Hmph."
The Xuan Ming Spider Emperor noticed the joy in the lion's eyes.
It felt a bit disdainful.
But it quickly suppressed its emotions.
Having flaws wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If the lion truly had no desires, it would make the Spider Emperor feel uneasy.
"Focus, it's time to get to work."
The Xuan Ming Spider Emperor reminded him gently, "With Youwei and Leiti dead, their territories are unguarded, which will surely attract the attention of cultivators. Don't forget that Wutong Mountain still has disciples hidden in the Thousand Demons Cave."
"Go and bring them here."
Tolerance had its limits, and it required sufficient value.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at the distant bookshelf.
He had just come into contact with the Return to Void technique and a movement technique, so there must be many other methods hidden here.
Shen Yi turned and walked towards the light curtain.
He needed to think of another way.
As for capturing the Wutong Mountain disciples... if they weren't fools, they would have already left the Thousand Demons Cave after the previous battle.
Shen Yi left the Repository of Secrets and found a quiet place.
He opened the panel again.
The previous prompt for forging the Divine Sky Silk had already stopped.
【In the 24,000th year, you have thoroughly understood and mastered the entire technique, but you are still unable to pass the final test. The Iron and Silver Hook Array is like a lotus, composed of several parts. With your current divine soul strength, you can only complete about three-tenths of it.】
Shen Yi closed the prompt.
He didn't bother with this challenge, as it was just a test.
After all, he wasn't a disciple of the Southern Yang Sect, so there was no need to persist.
The Iron and Silver Hook Array was divided into three parts: Binding, Killing, and Restraining.
Even if one part was used alone, it could still be effective without being too complicated.
【Remaining Demon Lifespan: 94,000 years】
Thanks to the 32,000 years of lifespan contributed by the Thunderhoof Demon King, there was now more left than before he started practicing the Divine Sky Silk.
Shen Yi looked at the two new techniques he had acquired, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The next moment, he poured the vast Demon Lifespan into the Boundless Dao Imperial Palace.
【In the first year, you summoned the Azure Deer Ancestor and began studying the Boundless Dao Imperial Palace. The text was extremely abstruse, and when you looked up, you saw the old fox also sweating profusely. You both stared at each other in silence.】
"..."
This was the first time Shen Yi had seen such a prompt.
He had a good understanding of himself, but the old fox's reaction was a bit over the top.
Where was the promised vast knowledge?
Where was the calm and composure shown when imparting array knowledge?
Shen Yi fell silent for a while.
He could only watch as the Demon Lifespan disappeared at a visible rate.
...
Inside the Thousand Demons Cave.
A four-winged eagle suddenly convulsed and was silently pulled down.
As it struggled, it caught a glimpse of several people nearby, and its eyes filled with terror.
Four figures stood with their hands by their sides, their faces cold and identical.
"I'll only give you one chance," the woman in the lead said as she slowly stepped forward. "Where is the Golden-Eyed Lion now? Is it still alive?"
Behind the woman were Tong Xincuan, Miao Qinghui, and even Qingfeng Zhenren, whose youthful face now carried a strong killing intent.
"In the Immortal Mansion of the Dark Tail Demon Sovereign," the four-winged eagle replied, but before it could finish, the woman lightly waved her palm, and a spiritual pressure surged into its eyes, expanding within its skull until its head exploded.
Qingfeng Zhenren took a deep breath. "I've left many messages outside the Thousand Demons Cave, but there's been no response. I fear that even the Golden Body Law Form has left..."
"The lion is still alive, but it has given up on revenge. That Shen kid might be in real trouble," Qingfeng said, glancing to the side.
At these words, only Miao Qinghui showed some emotion, her eyes filled with regret. "It was that Golden Body that saved you last time."
"So, I have to do something," Qingfeng gritted his teeth, forcing a smile. "Thank you, Senior Sister."
"I don't care who you're talking about."
Lingxi Zhenren indifferently retracted her palm and said, "I just want Master to see that Wutong Mountain has someone like me."
She took another step forward.
"In my impression, this is the first time Senior Sister has come out of seclusion, and she's so decisive and efficient."
Miao Qinghui spoke to ease Qingfeng's embarrassment.
"..."
Tong Xincuan remained silent.
For some reason, although Senior Sister had reached the Profound Spirit Perfection stage, making her the second most powerful after Master in terms of cultivation, he couldn't bring himself to trust her.
There was no particular reason; it was just an instinctive reaction.
In his opinion, they should have made more preparations, such as contacting Great Qian to inquire about the Yin Spirit's whereabouts.
But when Senior Sister's temper flared, who could stop her?
She was clearly losing control due to the matters involving Jiang Qiulan and Nie Jun.
"Regardless, at least the cultivation is real. I just hope there won't be any mistakes."
Tong Xincuan sighed inwardly and followed them.
As the group approached the Immortal Mansion of the Dark Tail Demon Sovereign, a voluptuous figure lay inside.
"Tsk."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign propped her head with her hand, feeling that something was amiss.
Earlier, the lion had tricked her with just a few words.
Upon reflection, she realized that the lion hadn't explained anything clearly. This time, she was determined to get some answers.
