Chapter 390: Reminding the World of the Might of the Thousand Demon Cave
Chapter 390: Reminding the World of the Might of the Thousand Demon Cave
"My lord, for a Transcendence Realm cultivator, the concept of tempering one's body doesn't really apply." The Abyssal Spider Emperor felt a bit annoyed at his mistake and became even more polite.
It was absurd for a demon like him to be explaining such basic knowledge to a cultivator.
"I know," Shen Yi acknowledged with a slight nod.
After breaking through to the Transcendence Realm, a cultivator's flesh and blood are completely replaced by their Nascent Soul, akin to a rebirth, with a brand new spiritual body. Naturally, ordinary means of tempering the body would no longer be effective.
The Nine Demons Transformation Magic was, after all, just a mixed-element technique.
It was only because he had infused too much demonic blood and underwent a transformation alongside those Celestial Beings during his Transcendence that he now possessed a physical body capable of contending with the Thousand-legged Demon Emperor.
This was probably the limit of his strength as a newcomer to the late Transcendence Realm.
"However, in the former Nanyang Sect, there were quite a few cultivators who favored close-quarters combat." The Abyssal Demon Emperor pointed to the two jade slips. "Empowering one's spiritual body through various means used to be a well-established path."
Shen Yi reached out and took the jade slips, feeling their smooth surfaces. Two new prompts appeared on his interface.
Transcendence - Nirvana: Uninitiated
[Return to Void - Heavenly Phoenix Undying True Form: Uninitiated]
"My lord?" The Abyssal Spider Emperor looked at him with concern as he remained silent. "Are you displeased?" he asked cautiously.
"It's nothing," Shen Yi shook his head, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
He was just feeling a bit sentimental.
This was the first time he had obtained a cultivation technique that directly led to the next realm.
The sense of reassurance, knowing that the path ahead was clear, was indescribable.
He no longer had to worry about reaching the end of his cultivation journey only to be left to the mercy of demons, possibly ending up with nothing to show for it.
"Rest assured, my lord, I have studied both of these cultivation techniques. If you let me accompany you to kill White Swan, I guarantee there won't be any mishaps." The Abyssal Spider Emperor quickly tried to prove his worth.
"What does she have to do with it?" Shen Yi asked, glancing at him.
"Empowering the spiritual body is different from tempering the body. It relies on external objects..." White Swan is in charge of the Pill Refinery, and while most of the pills were consumed, the refinery still contains all the pill formulas left behind by the Nanyang Sect." The Abyssal Spider Emperor rubbed his long legs.
The conversation between the two ceased.
They slowly turned their gazes toward the cave mansion.
A familiar voice echoed within the Law-Keeping Pavilion.
"Come out, this Emperor has business with you."
"... "
"My lord, we have an unwelcome guest," the Abyssal Spider Emperor withdrew his gaze. "This brute has dubious intentions. We must not let him stay."
Shen Yi put away the interface and left the Law-Keeping Pavilion.
He saw the several Demon Emperors from before, all looking respectful as they surrounded two figures.
One was, of course, the handsome white horse.
The other was a woman with a curvaceous figure and bovine horns growing from her head.
"Reporting to my lord, the Ninth Cave, Giant Horned Black Eagle." The Abyssal Spider Emperor conveyed this information through divine sense transmission.
Among the top ten Demon Emperors, aside from the first three, the rest were fairly evenly matched.
Even when the Abyssal Spider Emperor was at his peak, he might not have been able to defeat this opponent.
"Lion Emperor, we meet again." The Giant Horned Demon Emperor was one of the five pairs of eyes that had appeared in the sky earlier.
She had a rough understanding of this lion's temperament, so she didn't put on any airs and instead took the initiative to greet him first.
"Let's skip the small talk." White Swan interrupted her, glancing indifferently at the Golden-Eyed Lion and said in a calm voice, "I assume that ferocious tiger has already sent word ahead of time, so there's no need for me to waste my breath."
Upon hearing this, the Giant Horned Demon Emperor covered her lips and chuckled.
The lion had truly offended this white horse.
She had never seen White Swan take the initiative to mock someone. This was clearly a jab at the lion, likening him to an unweaned child who constantly needed the care of the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor.
"In ten days, I want the cultivators outside to remember the might of the Thousand Demon Cave." The white horse slowly turned around. "No one is allowed to cause any trouble, or else don't blame me for being ruthless. This won't be something a few bold words can fix.
The Giant Horned Demon Empress smiled and extended her hand.
She was quite interested in this lion, after all, not every demon would dare to point a weapon at a white horse.
The only concern was whether this was just a fleeting moment of bravery.
Usually, the top ten Demon Emperors wouldn't engage in mutual slaughter.
But if they wanted to get rid of someone, there were plenty of ways to make it happen.
"..."
Shen Yi took a step forward, walking towards the outside of the Thousand Demon Cave.
White Swan's counterattack against the cultivators seemed hasty, but in reality, it left them with no room for negotiation.
Even if they wanted to send a message to Qinghua, there might not be enough time.
In just ten days, it would be difficult for Da Qian to come up with any countermeasures.
They could only take it one step at a time.
As Shen Yi's mind moved, the golden pearl outside the Thousand Demon Cave suddenly transformed into a ten-zhang-tall dharma image and rushed towards the direction of the Imperial City's Martial Temple!
"Lion Emperor, there's no need to worry."
The woman with giant horns on her head slowly flapped her wings, hovering at the lion's side. "With White Swan's strength, there are no more than two people outside who can stop her."
"As it happens, neither of those two dares to come out."
"Rest assured and enjoy this brief respite, for leaving the Thousand Demon Cave in the future will be much more difficult."
As she spoke, the Giant Horned Demon Empress lazily stretched her arms, then flapped her wings, and her entire body instantly disappeared into the horizon.
"..."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and also rushed out of the Thousand Demon Cave.
However, something he hadn't expected was that the white horse, which had left earlier, was now waiting outside the cave.
And in front of it, dozens of figures stood silently.
Each one of them was powerful enough to bring disaster to Da Qian, just like Qinghua.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Yi walked forward slowly.
"You don't need to know, just follow my orders."
The white horse glanced at him casually.
Shen Yi looked ahead calmly, his palms slightly clasped together, and the never-before-used Dao Palace trembled slightly in the void.
Ever since leaving Qingzhou, he hadn't fought a battle without assurance of victory in a long time.
But if necessary, he could give it a try.
...
Da Qian, Songzhou.
The iron pillars as tall as towering trees, engraved with dense array symbols, and streams of light flowing into the clouds like swimming fish, presented a mysterious and awe-inspiring sight.
Yet, the locals had gradually become accustomed to this otherworldly scene.
Occasionally, someone would look up, a glint of reassurance flashing in their eyes.
"Old Master Zhu, the Martial College is recruiting disciples. Why don't you let the young ones in your family give it a try?"
Several Demon Subduing Squad Captains smiled and greeted the elderly man with white hair and a youthful face as he walked past them.
Ever since Da Qian issued the order to establish the Martial College, along with the various protective array formations, countless external forces had surrendered and pledged their allegiance.
The Zhu family before them was just an insignificant fraction of those who had submitted.
"I'm considering it, I'm considering it."
Old Master Zhu smiled slyly, his eyes fixed on the iron pillar, a chill flashing in his gleaming eyes.
By his side, an old woman in blue clothes, appearing somewhat senile, hooked her arm through his, leading the old man towards the end of the street.
They walked into the newly built compound.
The figures within all stopped their movements.
Whether they had been sweeping the floor or taking a stroll, despite their different attire, ages, and appearances, their eyes all shone with the same sharp glint.
Any one of them could easily slay the Songzhou General.
Having suffered a severe blow and unsure of the situation, they had discarded their black and white robes and ventured into Songzhou, the poorest region of Da Qian.
"Pack up, we're heading to the Imperial City."
Old Master Zhu returned to the main hall with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
The Xu family's array formations, the Martial College based on the Transformation God cultivation technique... Da Qian was truly different from what it used to be.
Unaware of the passing of time in the mountains, one returns to the world still a celestial being.
Wherever he resided, it could be called the Cave of Mystery Light.
