Chapter 395: I Know, Therefore I Am
Chapter 395: I Know, Therefore I Am
Golden light pierced the skies, enriching the spiritual energy of Lizhou. Even ordinary people felt lighter and healthier, and some were miraculously cured of their ailments.
"What kind of immortal pill is this?!"
Wu Dao'an was stunned. Even with his years of experience and knowledge from ancient texts in the Armory, he had never witnessed such a spectacular event.
What shocked him even more was that this was the twenty-sixth time such golden light had appeared.
Had Shen Yi emptied this realm of all its spiritual herbs?
"...”
Zhu Jue, the guardian of the Armory, was even more astonished than Wu Dao'an.
He recognized the scents of over ten rare herbs, each a treasure rarely seen in a thousand years.
And among the other, richer fragrances, there were some he had never even heard of.
What kind of pill could be made from such precious ingredients? Could consuming it grant instant immortality?
"Burp."
Inside the wooden cabin, Shen Yi popped a Pill of Illumination into his mouth and began chewing it indifferently.
Qingqiu Laozu watched with a pounding heart.
Just one of these pills could greatly increase a mystic's chances of achieving the Illumination Realm.
Thus, they were extremely rare.
Initially, only five or six pills could be refined per batch, but even as the master became more skilled, the number rarely exceeded ten.
And yet, in just this short while, Shen Yi had swallowed nearly eighty of them.
Could... could they really be effective like this?
But only by entering the master's stomach could these heavenly treasures be put to their best use.
"..."
Shen Yi swallowed the pill, feeling the robust medicinal power spreading through his body and infusing his five spiritual roots and organs.
With the perfect Moon Swallowing Spirit Gathering Technique, he could fully absorb the pill's power.
Combined with the panel's calculations, it took nearly ten years to digest each pill.
Together, they ensured that the pills' powers were fully utilized, with no waste at all.
[Year 823: You have once again digested the power of the Pill of Illumination. They flow into your five organs, causing your five spiritual roots to glow brilliantly as if they have been baptized by the heavens, successfully transforming.]
[Eventually, the medicinal power will run out, and you will observe the increasingly subtle changes with a satisfied sigh.]
Shen Yi sank into introspection.
As he had guessed, the Pill of Illumination could help mystics condense their spiritual roots and, most likely, supplement them as well.
Even the lowest-grade root, the True Yang Kirin Stone, had transformed into a blazing furnace, and the Age Wood had extended, growing from a broken branch into a lush, leafy form.
As for the other three, while their changes weren't as dramatic, their auras had become much more robust.
Under this blessing, his entire body had reached its peak, with no room for further improvement.
Even without breaking through to the next realm, his perception of spiritual energy had tripled.
Shen Yi counted the remaining Pills of Illumination and found over ten. He put them away for other uses.
Then he took out a hundred or so Pills of Disillusionment.
Compared to the Pill of Illumination from Nanyang Zong, these pills made by Qingqiu were much cruder and only involved the simplest use of medicinal power.
However, they were precisely what Shen Yi needed.
He grabbed a handful and swallowed them without hesitation.
Violent medicinal power surged through his body.
If not for the transformation of his spiritual roots, he might not have been able to withstand it for the time being.
[Year 1: You ingested numerous Pills of Disillusionment. Without the need for a cultivation technique, relying solely on the surging medicinal power and a small spirit-gathering mantra, you begin to forcefully charge towards the next realm.]
It was more of an ethereal and intangible achievement.
And the Powder of Bewilderment was the precious elixir that aided in forcibly sensing the Spirit Energy of the heavens and earth.
The Dao Infant's five viscera began to ravenously devour the pill's power.
In an instant, the qi within the heavens and earth seemed to suddenly become clearer.
Three hundred li... eight hundred li.
[Year 360: You have exhausted the power of the small mantra, successfully reaching the mid-stage of the Divine Incarnation.]
Without a moment's rest, Shen Yi ingested another pill.
That feeling of controlling a thousand li of heaven and earth was truly wonderful.
I know, therefore I am.
Compared to this sensation, the Astral Projection's ability to fly a sword remotely paled in significance.
[Year 730: You can sense the spiritual energy within 2,100 li, as if the entire world is at your command, forging the late-stage path of Divine Incarnation.]
Shen Yi grabbed the last handful of the Powder of Bewilderment Elixir.
His face turned crimson as the pill's toxicity assaulted his heart.
Qingqiu Laozu swallowed hard. In truth, he was the only one who had ever taken this pill, and even then, it was only to help him through the final hurdle of the early to mid-stages of the Divine Incarnation.
He had never considered that someone would consume so many at once.
Could it be that he doesn't consider the potential repercussions at all?
"...”
Shen Yi's lips curled, revealing a bloody stain, and the sharpness in his eyes intensified.
In fact, he was clearer about this than anyone else.
But even the Xuanming Spider Emperor had no solution for his situation, so forcefully stacking pills was his last resort. It had been difficult enough to gather the ingredients, so why hold back now?
After all, this was how he had gotten this far.
Until nearly half of the spiritual energy in Da Qian responded to him.
Three thousand three hundred li.
"Puh!"
Shen Yi spat out a mouthful of black blood, panting heavily before wiping his lips.
He recalled the casual conversation between the Xu family nephew and niece, where they had mentioned that Nie Jun could easily mobilize seven to eight thousand li of spiritual energy. It seemed that even after consuming so many Divine Incarnation Pills, he still fell short.
However, that was not the case.
Nie Jun could only mobilize Lei Xi.
Shen Yi's spiritual roots were varied, and without the enhancement of a cultivation technique, he was at a disadvantage in terms of distance. But within these three thousand three hundred li, any qi of the heavens and earth that resonated with his five viscera would heed his command.
However, even at this level, it was not yet perfect.
The distance had reached its limit.
What was lacking was probably the feeling of fusion with the heavens and earth.
This could only be achieved through the passage of time or some kind of opportunity—an epiphany where one's Dao heart is enlightened.
Shen Yi sighed inwardly.
Tsk, these abstruse and incomprehensible concepts were the most vexing.
"My lord."
Qingqiu Laozu almost cried out. What was his master contemplating? Surely he wasn't planning to kill him?
"Let's go back."
Shen Yi nodded towards him, surprisingly refraining from forcibly recalling him into the panel.
He checked the pill toxicity that had settled within his body.
It had almost turned his entire Dao Infant body jet-black, but fortunately, the presence of the Age Wood slightly countered its effects.
No immediate problems meant there were no problems.
He would cross that bridge when he came to it, and there would always be a solution in the future.
Shen Yi was already accustomed to the twists and turns on the path of cultivation. As a wandering cultivator, it would be strange if there were no issues.
He opened the panel again and looked towards the Infinite Demon Emperor's Palace.
Just then, the hem of his black robe fluttered slightly, and Shen Yi furrowed his brows, glancing towards the door.
Three auras, each more familiar than the last.
