Chapter 410: Changes in Great Tian (Part 2)
Chapter 410: Changes in Great Tian (Part 2)
To the people of Qingzhou, the disciples of Wutong Mountain were almost like legendary immortals from the tales.
At this moment, Elder Tong had surprisingly taken the initiative to guide them.
You Longtao, startled, quickly regained his composure and led the group to follow Elder Tong.
They passed through several courtyards and arrived outside the Armory Academy of the Martial Temple.
Without Tong Xincuan needing to say more, Lin Baiwei immediately spotted several graceful figures among the crowd.
There were fewer than ten people, but they were clearly divided into factions.
The long-unseen Elder Jiang seemed no different from before, standing quietly at the forefront. Behind her, to her side, was a woman who had her eyes gouged out.
On the other side, led by an elderly woman, a middle-aged man stood with two women behind him.
And at the very back were several figures dressed in temple priest attire.
Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Lin Baiwei's heart suddenly trembled, and she had a bad premonition. Quietly, she walked inside and stood in a corner.
"Elder Wu, can you go in and ask what's going on?"
Xu Clan Patriarch, filled with concern, turned to look at her.
Having relocated her entire family to Great Tian, she was in unfamiliar territory, and her only reliance was Shen Yi.
If something happened to him, the Xu family would be in a very awkward situation.
"No, Elder Shen has ordered that no one is to take a single step into the Armory Academy."
Wu Daoan replied without turning his gaze.
"When did Elder Shen give this order?"
Beside him, Zhu Jue hovered in place and asked in a low voice.
In truth, as disciples of the Martial Temple, they were also unsure of the situation. They only knew that the Golden Body Dharmic Form had suddenly appeared and was guarding this place.
The heavy atmosphere was due to Wu Daoan's series of commands, sealing off the Imperial City and activating the grand formation.
"..."
Wu Daoan glanced at Zhu Jue with a hint of displeasure but said nothing.
Based on his understanding of Elder Shen, whether leaving or returning, he always did so quietly. If not for the need for incense and faith, perhaps no one would even know of his whereabouts.
For him to create such a commotion, there must be a problem.
As a mere Martial Immortal, if he didn't bring up Elder Shen, how could he possibly control this situation?
Not to mention, with these Wutong Mountain disciples, who in the world could restrain them?
"..."
Xu Wanyun scanned her surroundings, sensing the quiet atmosphere, and suddenly felt a surge of emotion.
Great Tian, the Xu family, and Wutong Mountain.
These three unrelated forces were now standing together outside a single courtyard in harmony.
Even the woman who had lost her eyes, the Grand Elder of Wutong Mountain, a senior cultivator who had reached the Perfected Soul Transformation, was standing obediently outside the courtyard, behind the woman with the surname Jiang.
Indeed, one was more beautiful than the other.
Could it be that they were arranged by their looks?
With this thought, Xu Wanyun hesitated for a moment, then took half a step forward, standing slightly in front of Xu Qing'er, who looked at her with confusion.
"You two, behave yourselves."
Xu Hongde frowned and glared at the two women.
As a father, he knew Qing'er's intentions, but... but everyone here was extraordinary. Even as the Xu family's patriarch, he couldn't do anything for his daughter.
"Still no news?"
Miao Qinghui approached from a distance and quietly signaled to Tong Xincuan, "I heard that someone saw the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Sword Palace near the Thousand Demons Cave."
After Elder Nie left the mountain, everyone waited for a long time for Elder Lingxi and the other two to return. Only then did they set out for Great Tian to find them.
When they saw the three, they didn't expect that one of them, Qingfeng, was unconscious on a bed.
"I'll stay here and watch over him. You go find Elder Nie."
Tong Xincuan nodded and headed outside.
Just then, a muffled cracking sound echoed, and the wooden door shattered. A figure flew out, visible to everyone.
He tumbled on the ground, rolling to a stop at Tong Xincuan's feet.
"Hiss!"
In his disbelieving gaze,
Nie Jun grimaced and glared at Tong Xincuan, "What are you looking at?"
After saying this, he stood up, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and shouted into the room, "That doesn't count! You attacked me by surprise; let's fight again!"
On his fair and handsome face, his eyes shone with divine light, showing no signs of injury.
He never expected that, seeing as the other party had helped him remove the golden arrow, he would take out the Southern Yang Sect's precious pill to heal Nie Jun.
But this fool had just opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to draw his sword and fight.
"Elder Brother."
Miao Qinghui looked at the sword marks on Nie Jun's face, and her eyelids twitched.
These two young powerhouses in her heart had become so familiar.
And the one who was smashed out was actually Elder Nie?
"Sigh."
Upon seeing that familiar face, Jiang Qiulan's calm expression finally showed a hint of emotion. She exhaled, her eyes reddened, and she gently rubbed the tip of her nose.
"Come in."
Shen Yi scanned the crowd and turned back to the courtyard.
With just two simple words, the more than ten people present almost hesitated to follow without hesitation.
Looking at those imposing silhouettes.
You Longtao and Chen Qiankun exchanged glances, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if they were seeing their past selves and others.
Shen Yi left Qingzhou.
But it seemed as if she was doing the same thing, gaining the trust of others and becoming the last line of defense in everyone's hearts.
"Tsk."
Nie Jun casually performed a sword flourish, suppressing the urge to go out for a drink and a feast, and followed in with a pout.
He couldn't imagine that there would be a cultivator he had never met before.
Who would endure the pain of the Demon Command Golden Arrow and walk up to the Divine Wind Demon King, picking himself up.
Even more so, without the need for weapons, he could shout and retreat the great Demon King of the second cave.
He was truly itching to do something.
This urge to challenge others even surpassed the temptation of delicious food.
...
At the broken door, Shen Yi casually sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and chose places to their liking to sit down, by the flower bed, under the pagoda tree, until the courtyard was filled.
In this relaxed atmosphere.
Shen Yi slowly spoke a sentence, causing everyone to freeze in their tracks.
"The Thousand Demons Cave is going crazy, so get ready."
Upon hearing this, Wu Daoan instinctively glanced at the small stool under his buttocks. Shouldn't this kind of matter be discussed in the main hall of the Martial Temple, with the other party seated on the altar, and everyone else standing solemnly below, before slowly deliberating?
Also, what kind of crazy is the Thousand Demons Cave going through?
It's one of the top powers in the world, with an unshakable status.
As Wu Daoan's thoughts wandered, he suddenly noticed that several people from Wutong Mountain stood up one after another, and finally, Tong Xincuan stuttered, "How many of them died?"
Shen Yi paused for a moment, "Twenty-something, I didn't count carefully."
This casual statement was like a thunderbolt to the people from Wutong Mountain.
Miao Qinghui asked in a daze, "Including the Demon Kings?"
Shen Yi shook his head lightly.
The Demon Kings were mostly killed by Qinghua, so he didn't have time to count them.
The strange conversation between the two reached the ears of the others.
The Xu Clan Patriarch swallowed his saliva and stared at Xu Hongde in a daze: "..."
Could they be talking about the Demon Kings?
There were about forty to fifty Demon Kings in the Thousand Demons Cave, and now half of them were dead?
Lingxi True Person leaned towards Jiang Qiulan, trying to conceal her trembling body.
When they were rescued, Shen Yi was facing five great Demon Kings alone. Now, the other party had returned in such a manner, and they had returned less than half a day later than them.
This meant that... among those twenty-plus lives, there were even a few great Demon Kings.
It was said that Nie Jun was like a God of Slaughter.
The previous pursuit and killing of the Blood Transformation Demon King had caused an uproar, and everyone in the world knew about it.
In comparison, Shen Yi quietly slaughtered half of them, and until this moment, if it weren't for the other party's own words, no one would have even reacted.
The Thousand Demons Cave was not just going crazy.
They were clearly fighting for their lives!
"Elder Shen, what should we do?"
Tong Xincuan finally understood the danger they were about to face.
If everything was as Shen Yi said.
Then the Thousand Demons Cave was no longer able to guard the cultivators' caves, and it was impossible for them to stay in the cave and wait for death.
With the demons leaving the cave, they would wreak havoc on the world.
It was really about to happen.
Shen Yi looked at the Xu family crowd and nodded lightly, "Please, everyone, complete the Nine Provinces Formation."
"We accept the command!"
Xu Hongde responded with a bow.
"Elder Zhu, have the Soul Transformation Pills been distributed?" Shen Yi looked at the two from the Martial Temple.
"They've been distributed, but they've been immersed for too long, and some have lost their sharp minds. They're still adjusting their mindset to ensure that every pill is not wasted." Zhu Jue stood up and replied.
"It's fine, let them eat first."
Shen Yi spoke softly, "There are more if needed."
After harvesting the remaining precious medicines from the entire Spirit Plant Garden, he couldn't say about other things, but the Soul Transformation Pills were more than enough.
After giving all the instructions.
Shen Yi finally stood up and looked at the Wutong Mountain crowd.
Led by Nie Jun, all seven of them were in the Great Tian Imperial City.
"I'll contact the other senior brothers and sisters."
Tong Xincuan raised her eyes to look.
They once didn't care about the others on the mountain, only because they were more aware of the situation within the Southern Yang Sect.
No matter what kind of demonic being, as long as the protective formation of the sect was opened, someone would take care of it.
Their responsibility was solely to break through the Returning Void Realm and go to the Thousand Demons Cave to place the Dao Token.
But now.
It seemed that they didn't need other cultivators to take action, and with just the members of their sect, they already had the opportunity to deal with these demonic beings.
"Thank you."
Shen Yi nodded.
With his current strength, as long as the Old Dog didn't take action, he was almost fearless against any demonic being's ambush.
But Dagan was different.
There were far too many ordinary people here, and the region was so vast that even a Perfected Soul Transformation Realm cultivator like Shen Yi couldn't possibly protect them all.
From the initial desire for incense and spiritual power, to now, Shen Yi finally wanted to reach out and stop it, rather than forcefully suppressing his emotions.
But the person standing behind him was no longer the Liu family, but countless common folk.
It was just stopping a dog.
He had never dared to stop, all for the sake of a single thought.
"What are you thanking me for?"
Tong Xincuan smiled self-deprecatingly, raising her eyebrows as she said, "Golden-Eyed Lion King, you have protected us more than once."
Upon hearing this, the greatest reaction came from the Martial Temple.
Wu Daoan's mouth hung open in disbelief as he looked over, "That Demon King is Shen Shidi?"
The newly emerged powerful Demon King that had been the talk of the town recently turned out to be from Dagan.
Tsk! It was indeed Shen Shidi; no matter where he went, he was always the most dazzling one. Even as a demonic being, he had to be the strongest.
...
Upon learning that the Wutong Mountain disciples were going to help guard the Nine Provinces, the Martial Temple did not skimp on etiquette and held a grand feast to send them off. As for the location, they chose the main hall of the Martial Temple so that the absent-minded old ancestor could also feel a sense of involvement.
Shen Yi, as usual, did not attend the feast.
He had more important things to do.
The previous dog claw attack had shown him the gap between himself and a true Reverting Void Realm cultivator.
The reason the opponent didn't dare to come out was not because they were restricted in any way.
Based on the current information, the old dog seemed to fear the Dao Token in Wutong Mountain's possession, worrying that it was a trap to lure him away.
Putting his life on the line against a dog.
This was something he couldn't accept.
A purple-gold palm-sized furnace hung in the air, slowly spinning, and Shen Yi spread his palms, allowing the colorless and continuous fire to flow into the furnace.
Celestial Phoenix Pill.
This pill formula was specifically for cultivating the Indestructible True Body of the Sacred Phoenix.
Only after the Sacred Phoenix Rebirth Technique was perfected could one withstand such potent medicinal power.
After all, this was a pill for the Reverting Void Realm, and the treasures used were incredibly precious and varied.
Even after Shen Yi had thoroughly searched the fourth cave, he could only barely gather about six to seven-tenths of the required ingredients.
Fortunately, Wutong Mountain had abundant resources.
With the combined efforts of several fellow disciples, although they couldn't provide the exact medicinal ingredients listed in the formula, they managed to use other treasures with similar properties as substitutes.
The only missing component was the compatible demonic beast essence blood.
It was impossible to find a fire-attributed avian demon in the Nine Provinces, let alone in the entire Southern Yang Sect.
Shen Yi wasn't picky, either.
Since they had replaced the treasures with other things, he decided to use some Primordial Realm demon blood from the Martial Temple as a substitute for the essence blood.
Regardless of whether the medicinal effects would be affected.
As long as the pill was produced in sufficient quantity, Shen Yi was willing to take the risk, as he already had a body full of pill toxins, and more wouldn't make a difference.
"Hurry up, start the refinement."
At the master's inquiry, the Azure Deer Ancestor and the Dark Abyss Demon King trembled simultaneously.
They had some understanding of pill refinement.
But with most of the ingredients replaced, could the final product still be the pill described in the formula? Moreover, the master's pill refinement skills...
"..."
That night, Dagan was bustling with activity.
In the Martial Temple, the sound of clinking cups and glasses was incessant, and from time to time, heavenly qi would surge into the sky, tinting the sky with vibrant hues.
This was the birth of Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, a sight Dagan had never witnessed before, shocking the entire Imperial City.
a word, in the neighboring Armor Academy, streaks of violent fire shot straight into the sky, transforming into a sea of flames that filled the air with a rich medicinal fragrance, more intoxicating than the finest wine.
It wasn't until the medicinal power turned into a fiery rain that Nie Jun realized something was amiss. He put down his large wine jar, and the Xuan Sword slipped out of his sleeve, intercepting the falling, burning medicinal ingredients.
He left the main hall and walked slowly into the Armor Academy.
There, he saw Shen Yi sitting cross-legged, his expression calm, and his black robe fluttering in the wind, like a transcendent senior expert.
As Shen Yi waved his hand, the pill furnace in front of him exploded with a loud bang!
Amidst this terrifying scene, Shen Yi's face remained unchanged, and he skillfully added more medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
In a place where Nie Jun couldn't see, the Azure Deer Ancestor and the Dark Abyss Spider Sovereign had already cowered, hugging their heads in fear.
This terrifying scene suddenly reminded the Azure Deer Ancestor of how Shen Yi had cultivated his formation skills.
They had a premonition that if the master failed again, their lives might be in danger.
As if the heavens had taken pity on the two demons, after an unknown amount of time, the pill furnace finally stopped spinning and landed safely.
As it opened, a fierce phoenix cry reverberated through the sky, and a sea of flames burst out of the furnace, eventually condensing into a round pill covered in fire patterns.
Shen Yi waved his hand and took the pill, feeling the scorching heat.
It was done.
