Chapter 380: Let Me Observe
Chapter 380: Let Me Observe
In the Repository of Secrets within the Thousand Demons Cave.
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign watched the figure leisurely strolling around the chamber and finally couldn't hold back its sinister grumbling, "The first task I gave you, and this is how you handle it? Do you intend to hide in this eighth cavern forever?"
"What's the problem?"
Shen Yi picked up a jade slip and then threw it back.
He heard the crisp cracking sound.
The old spider was both startled and enraged, "Be gentle, damn it!"
It couldn't understand why, in this vast Thousand Demons Cave, only it could discover the value of these Nanyang Sect techniques.
Learning never stops, even for the old. Even if demons can't learn, reading more books is never a bad thing.
Otherwise, they'd be like this lion, only understanding a bath painting and nothing else, just a thing that ruins everything!
"Of course, there's a problem. I took you in to get things done, not to be a master in this eighth cavern!"
"If you're going to be so cowardly, I'll kill you myself before anyone else does!"
Hearing the nagging in his ear.
Shen Yi turned back impatiently, "Enough, just stay for a few days, listen to the news, my sovereign is brave and wise, not stupid."
"..."
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign lay back down.
It wasn't that it didn't understand human emotions.
After all, nearly half of the Wutong Mountain disciples had come to kill it, and among them was a Profound Spirit Perfection cultivator. If not for the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign's presence, this lion would have most likely died in the cave.
Some apprehension was normal.
It just couldn't stand the other party's attitude.
"I'll tolerate you for a few more days, but don't overestimate my patience."
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign left with a chilling warning, realizing that this lion was taking advantage of its kindness.
Its overly polite attitude would only make the other party more presumptuous.
A demon that only dared to act against its own kind, not even daring to leave the Thousand Demons Cave, no matter how powerful, had no value.
"..."
Shen Yi retracted his gaze and looked at the jade slip in his palm.
He had searched the second level and found nearly sixty techniques, along with twenty jade slips, finally discovering what he wanted.
【Incarnation. Cavernous Soul Refining Art: Beginner】
Indeed, the Nanyang Sect did possess techniques for nurturing the divine soul, but they were few and not well-organized.
However, he only wanted to forcibly activate a powerful spell formation and didn't intend to delve deeply into this path, so it was sufficient for now.
With this in mind, Shen Yi threw the jade slip back, "So annoying, who cares about your cave."
Under the furious gaze of the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign.
He calmly left the eighth cavern.
...
In a dark and stench-filled cave.
A woman in a long robe tightly gripped the neck of a deer demon, her fingers digging into its flesh, the spiritual pressure causing its entire body to tremble and shatter.
"Don't scream... please... don't scream..."
Lingxi Zhenren's face was covered in tears, her voice like a mosquito's whine, trembling with a hint of crying.
She closed her eyes and buried her head in the deer demon's fur, her shoulders trembling lightly.
Lingxi Zhenren's first venture out had left her feeling like years of pride had been shattered by the tiger's palm.
All she wanted now was to survive...
She desperately wished for her master to appear before her.
Lingxi was well aware that even she couldn't be trapped by Tong Xincuan's array, let alone the tiger demon.
Everyone was dead!
Her disciples, her junior brothers and sisters, all dead!
There was no escape.
Now, besides shedding tears, she had no idea what to do.
Sneak back to Wutong Mountain? She didn't know how to face her fellow disciples or explain what had happened in the Thousand Demons Cave.
Should I just make up a story and blame it all on the demons?
As this thought crossed Ling Xi's mind, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with fear and hesitation.
After a long while, she suddenly slapped herself hard!
Slap—
The word "useless" from Tong Shidi still echoed in her ears.
What shattered Ling Xi the most was that what he said was indeed true; she was undeniably useless.
Even at this moment, she was still thinking about how to salvage her dignity and face.
"Pull yourself together... do something..."
Ling Xi swallowed hard, her voice trembling even more.
She lowered her gaze to her palms and began to recall the techniques she had cultivated over the years, repeatedly forming hand seals.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
Ling Xi Zhenren clenched her palms tightly and then cautiously crawled out of the cave, glancing timidly at the sky.
There was not a trace of her former brilliance left.
She crouched on the ground, concealing her breath with all her might, forming hand seals, and her ears twitched slightly, capturing every sound around her.
After a few hours.
Two demon birds flew overhead, their faint conversation reaching her ears.
It was hard to imagine that any demon could have thought that a cultivator comparable to the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns would be in such a pitiful state, hiding in a place that posed no threat to her.
"Golden-Eyed Lion, Bright Thunder Pool."
Hearing those two familiar names, Ling Xi slowly crawled out from the ground.
She formed hand seals once more.
Her figure suddenly became ethereal and illusory.
She didn't know what to do, but since she was in the Thousand Demons Cave... killing demons should be the right thing to do.
Ling Xi Zhenren, with a fearful expression, moved further away from the exit of the Thousand Demons Cave and instead followed the descriptions of her junior brothers in her mind, heading towards the Bright Thunder Pool.
"Let's... start with the lion..."
She stammered, trying to convince herself.
Being extremely cautious, she reached the high cliff, and just as she was about to look down, she hid in the dense bushes, using her spirit sense to gently envelop the area.
Immediately, she sensed the tall figure sitting cross-legged near the thunderous pool.
"..."
Shen Yi kept his eyes closed.
With the help of his magical robe, he had long sensed the approach of a powerful aura.
This aura was one of the strongest he had ever encountered among cultivators.
But at this moment, the actions of this powerful cultivator made Shen Yi feel a bit strange.
What was he doing? Was it necessary to be so cautious when a Profound Spirit Perfection cultivator was about to kill a lion?
Shen Yi didn't move right away.
When facing such an existence, even the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.
He looked at the panel in front of him.
[In your 230th year, with the help of the Azure Deer Ancestor, you successfully borrowed the power of the Bright Thunder Pool to forge a Dark Thunder Soul Mansion with your divine soul, drawing inspiration from the Heavenly Tribulation to temper your divine soul.]
Shen Yi retracted his gaze, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Several strands of black mist-covered threads quietly descended, and he began to set up the Iron Scroll Silver Hook Array.
The Binding Array could also be used as a defensive formation.
When the grand array was finally set up.
Shen Yi's confusion grew; in all this time, the woman hadn't moved a muscle.
Forget it, let's perfect the Cavernous Soul Refining Art first.
"..."
Ling Xi Zhenren held her breath.
She had heard from her other junior brothers that one should observe the demons before making a move.
Although she didn't know what to observe.
But following their instructions should be the right thing to do.
