Chapter 381: The Spider Emperor, This Way (Thanks to the Million Silver Alliance Reward from Village Lad)
Within the Bright Thunder Pool, the dense thunderous essence slowly churned.
Shen Yi sat cross-legged before the pool.
Using the Cavernous Soul Refining Art, he opened a cave mansion on his glabella, where thunder rumbled, cleansing his weak divine soul.
Logically, practicing this technique required choosing a place compatible with one's spirit root to avoid soul damage.
Fortunately, his spirit root was diverse, saving him much trouble.
The last time he had refined his soul was when he was in the Embrace Dan Realm, where he had fought and killed a Dao Infant's consciousness with his soul.
The cruelty and despair he felt then were still vivid in his memory, but compared to the cleansing in the Thunder Mansion, it seemed like a minor ordeal.
Even though the Cavernous Soul Refining Art was a genuine Xuanmen technique, emphasizing gradual progress,
The torture that directly targeted the soul still kept Shen Yi's spirit taut as a bowstring, facing each cleansing as if confronting a formidable foe.
[The first three thousand years, you finally completed your first tempering, and your soul made significant progress, but the languid state requires a long recovery. You opened the technique manual, which recorded three types of pills. When taken together, they not only nurture the soul but also help it face the next tempering.]
Shen Yi closed his eyes.
For example, the eighth cave guarded by the Dark Nether Spider Emperor was the Repository of Secrets of the Nanyang Sect.
Following this line of thought, there should be a Demon Sovereign guarding a treasure land related to pill refinement.
Unfortunately, his current strength was insufficient.
There was no need to think further for now.
Even without the help of pills, the improvement from this technique was evident.
"..."
Lingxi Zhenren crawled on the high cliff, blinking her eyes.
She seemed to understand her junior brothers' caution.
For instance, although she couldn't understand what the lion was doing, her spirit sense observed that it was in a state of high alert, contrary to her assumption that it was asleep.
Too cunning!
There must be an ambush.
She once again concealed her aura, using the Breath Concealment Art, a technique her master had specifically taught her and one she was most proficient in.
However, she had never used it before, almost forgetting it.
Now, with a calm mind and focused spirit, not even the Golden-Eyed Lion, let alone the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns, could detect her presence.
"Huff."
Shen Yi's face turned paler.
Fortunately, the Shape Transformation Technique helped conceal his condition, preventing any clues from being revealed.
[The nineteenth thousand years, after enduring six temperings, the Thunder Mansion finally dispersed, transforming into a vast pool that nurtured your soul. According to the technique manual, this soul pool is called the Mind Sea.]
[Soul Transformation. Cavernous Soul Refining Art: Perfection]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Forty-nine Thousand Years]
In Shen Yi's perception, the solidity of his soul had doubled, if not more.
Additionally, the Mind Sea seemed to have other functions.
Perhaps there were specialized methods within the Nanyang Sect to complement the soul.
Of course, even without these, he could at least further complete the Iron and Silver Hook Array.
He discarded distracting thoughts and continued to study this technique, spending another hundred years of his lifespan to thoroughly restore his soul to its prime state.
Black mist threads emerged from his fingertips once more.
Soon, a new grand array unfolded above the original Binding Array, connecting the two like two petals of a flower.
After completing all this,
Shen Yi sensed the unmoving aura beside him and fell into deep thought: "..."
After a long silence, he cut off the black mist threads and headed towards the distant horizon.
"He's gone?"
Watching the lion's departing figure, Lingxi Zhenren raised her eyes in surprise.
Could it be that she had guessed wrong, and there really was no ambush?
No way! It's definitely a trick to lure me out. I mustn't fall for it.
...
Thousand Demons Cave, Repository of Secrets.
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign stared at the figure that had just returned, barely holding back the anger in his heart.
In the past, whether it was the Thunder Hoof or the Shadow Tail,
None of them dared to be disrespectful. They would respectfully deliver their messages outside the light curtain and could only stand outside to discuss matters after receiving a response.
But this lion, he treats the Eighth Cavern as his backyard.
Coming and going as he pleases!
"I'm telling you, if you can't handle the task I gave you, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
The thick spider arm suddenly crossed the lion's neck, "I want an Incarnation-stage cultivator, alive!"
"..."
Shen Yi felt the spider arm as sharp as a spear.
He still remembered that this Spider Sovereign had mentioned being injured.
For demons, cultivators are the best panacea.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi glanced at him with disdain, "Of course it's alive, but I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow it."
Crack—
Hearing these provocative words without the slightest respect.
The black spider arm suddenly exerted force, flipping the majestic eight-zhang-tall lion onto the ground.
Countless crimson eyes stared at Shen Yi, and the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign's voice was as cold as an ice cave, filled with a strong threat, "You lowly thing, how dare you judge me?"
"Is it because I gave you face?"
"Go ahead and fart!"
Along with a cold rebuke, the sharp spider arm quietly pressed down on the lion's neck.
"..."
Shen Yi felt the vast power, and his expression gradually turned solemn.
Although he had no intention of struggling.
But this demon's cultivation was comparable to a Perfected Soul Sage, and even with his injuries, he was far beyond Shen Yi's abilities.
To quietly eliminate the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign.
This might be the only chance.
Thinking of this, he slightly turned his head and said calmly, "Wutong Mountain is after me. I'm at least a Perfected Soul Sage."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign was stunned for a moment, then he sneered, "Is it that Ling Xi Zhenren?"
Even if it were any other unknown cultivator, the Spider Sovereign would have to think it over, but if it were that woman who had fled with her fellow sect members but was still scared away by the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign...
Heaven is helping me!
In his excitement, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign quickly calmed down.
Why didn't that woman escape?
"Are you sure it's just her? Is Nie Jun not there?"
"How would I know? I fled here as soon as I could."
Shen Yi glanced at him with contempt.
But this reaction made the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign relax his guard a little.
If this lion truly guaranteed it, the Spider Sovereign would suspect it was a trap, especially since this foolish lion had a history of killing his companions.
Thinking of this, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign pondered for a long time, but in the end, he withdrew his spider arm, "You have some brains after all. Lead me there to take a look."
He wasn't as reckless as that tiger.
The Spider Sovereign had already made a big mistake once. If he fell for another decoy, allowing intruders into the immortal mansion, the old dog would show no mercy.
For such a task, it must be done quietly and swiftly.
He released Shen Yi and left the immortal mansion with him.
Then, he used his abilities to spit out sticky silk, wrapping up the black light curtain.
The glowing silk was extraordinary.
After making all the preparations, he turned to Shen Yi, "Lead the way!"
