Chapter 431: The Crimson-Eyed Azure Phoenix of Heavenly Sword Sect

Outside the Dharma Hall, the surroundings were lush with green mountains and clear waters.

Liu Qianyun approached Shen Yi, a hint of curiosity in her voice as she asked, "Did you win?"

She wasn't particularly interested in array formations and had never delved into them.

The greatest difference between sect disciples and loose cultivators was the support of tens of thousands of fellow sect members, allowing them to focus on a single path, conserve their lifespans, and venture further in their cultivation journeys.

However, judging from Elder Yang's changing expression, Shen Yi seemed to have accomplished something extraordinary.

This shattered Liu Qianyun's preconceived notions about this group of people.

This was also the general perception of Shen Yi and his group among other allied sect disciples. It might be an exaggeration to say that they couldn't even recognize characters, but that was essentially the idea.

Perhaps they just didn't have the opportunity to learn, not that they were incapable.

"My father... Elder Liu has issued a decree. If Sect Master Shen needs it, Qingyue Sect can arrange for some administrators or elders to take turns going to Nanyang Sect to help with teaching and imparting cultivation methods."

A hint of patience appeared on Liu Qianyun's face.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's thoughts stirred slightly. Nanyang Sect wasn't lacking in cultivation techniques, as the Law Repository's collection, although lacking about a decade's worth of accumulation compared to other allied sects, was still sufficient for Return to Void Realm Cultivators.

What he lacked the most was experience.

Even with Shen Yi's abundant lifespan from Demon Beasts, it was impossible to cultivate every technique, let alone for someone like Nie Jun.

How could he gain the greatest improvement in the shortest time? Such experience was also an invaluable treasure.

"Shen Yi expresses his gratitude in advance for the assistance of your esteemed sect."

Shen Yi's sincere salute made Liu Qianyun feel a bit overwhelmed. Although he was only a Return to Void Realm Cultivator, he still held the title of Sect Master. At least for now, regardless of others, her father had acknowledged this identity.

Moreover, he possessed skills that even surprised Elder Yang.

Yet, he remained calm and humble, which was truly remarkable.

"Sect Master Shen, you're too kind. As allied sects, it's only natural... Moreover, I'm just a small administrator, and I don't have such capabilities. It's Elder Liu's intention, and I don't deserve your thanks."

Liu Qianyun waved her hand and smiled, "My task for the next few months is to guide you in understanding the outside world. If there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask."

At this point, Shen Yi indeed had many questions.

His current cultivation path could be divided into four directions. Among them, Body Tempering, which required the essence blood of Fire-Nature Bird Demons, was the most urgent. Next was the Dao Palace, which had just broken through the Return to Void Realm and needed guidance from others. Other aspects, such as Array Formations and Golden Body, could also be improved as auxiliary means.

"I wonder if Administrator Liu has any news about Fire-Nature Bird Demons?"

Shen Yi planned to first understand the external situation; hiding in Nanyang Sect wasn't a long-term solution.

At the very least, he needed to know what level of strength was required to leave the sect.

"Fire-Nature Bird Demons?"

Liu Qianyun pondered for a moment, then showed a hint of apology, "We call this place Hongze, and water-type creatures are prevalent here. Such news is indeed rare... However, Heavenly Sword Sect definitely has them, as they once had two Crimson-Eyed Azure Phoenixes, and they each took one with Nanyang Sect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Crimson-Eyed Azure Phoenix? From the beginning? So, there was another Phoenix Demon identical to the one in Nanyang Sect, living intact for over ninety thousand years.

With such talent, what terrifying realm might it have reached by now?

"But... I'll ask someone to inquire on your behalf. Even if it's rare, we should be able to find some suitable ones. If not, I'll go to Heavenly Sword Sect to ask."

Liu Qianyun paused, then took the initiative to handle this matter.

Logically, with her status as an elder's daughter, requesting a Phoenix Demon's essence blood from an allied sect shouldn't be a problem. At most, she would need to offer something in exchange, and the main concern was the reason.

If it was discovered that she was asking for Shen Yi.

Given Heavenly Sword Sect's attitude, they would undoubtedly associate this matter with the Harmony Dao Site and use it as an opportunity to "invite" Shen Yi to join their sect.

"However, with my savings, I can't afford the Phoenix Demon's essence blood. Sect Master Shen should make preparations in advance."

Liu Qianyun smiled in a teasing manner, not pretending to be overly generous.

While she was willing to help, she had encountered a stubborn old man and had no extra resources to spare.

"Thank you."

Shen Yi pondered for a moment. The Phoenix Demon's blood he required was not as simple as a single portion; the only valuable items he had were over ten magical artifacts, the last remnants of the Southern Yang Sect.

If there were no other options, he would have to use these for now.

"May I ask, Elder Liu, how should one break through the Dao Palace?" Shen Yi temporarily set aside the matter of body tempering and continued his questioning.

"Dao Palace?"

Liu Qianyun shook her head and explained, "This is a much more complicated matter. First, there's the Mansion Ascension Law, which varies from three to six Dao Pillars depending on the grade. Of course, Shen Zongzhu definitely wouldn't lack these, but it's best to choose based on one's aptitude. Higher grade doesn't necessarily mean better."

"These pillars can also be called Dao Pillars."

"To construct a complete Dao Palace, each layer requires a sturdy Dao Pillar for support."

At this point, Liu Qianyun sighed and averted her gaze, "For example, due to my aptitude, I chose the Four-Pillar method, and I've only managed to raise three floors so far. I've attempted to break through the fourth layer of the Return to Void Formation several times, but it always ends in collapse."

"I guess I'll stop at this realm in this lifetime."

Liu Qianyun sighed, then suddenly snapped out of her reverie, realizing that she and Shen Yi weren't close enough for such intimate gestures.

She composed herself and continued, "In simple terms, breaking through each layer of the Return to Void Formation is extremely difficult. There are three key points."

"The first is innate talent and comprehension. The Dao Pillars are formed through visualization, and the higher one's talent, the better the visualized Dao Pillars."

"Second, to make the Dao Pillars materialize, one needs the blessing of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, which we collectively refer to as treasure materials."

"Third, if the Dao Pillars are sturdy enough, the Dao Palace can receive gifts from heaven and earth... but let's not get into that. Shen Zongzhu, you should first return to the sect to choose a Mansion Ascension Law. There's no rush; we can discuss it slowly."

Liu Qianyun turned to look at the three standing foolishly in the distance and temporarily stopped her explanation.

They were fine when they arrived, but why did they suddenly become like this?

"Hmm."

Seeing this, Tongxin Chuan finally approached with the other two, staring at Shen Yi with awe in their eyes as if they had seen an immortal.

Xu Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she clutched her sleeves tightly.

The previous events were beyond comprehension for these two.

Not only for them, who came from the Southern Yang Sect, but even for the proud cultivators of the allied sects, including the elders, who were still staring at the array disk in a daze.

This was what true genius meant.

It meant disregarding background and resources, relying solely on innate talent and comprehension to effortlessly surpass everyone.

"..."

Shen Yi raised his eyes, ignoring the burning gazes of the two.

This had cost him 800 years of his demonic beast lifespan, and he had obtained an unknown-grade binding array, which might not even be as useful as the Iron Painting Silver Hook Array.

He didn't even know where to go to slay demons, and his lifespan was dwindling with every moment.

It would be best to avoid such situations in the future.

"Hmm."

Liu Qianyun broke the silence, "By the way, I don't know if Shen Zongzhu is interested in going outside. We just received an invitation. If you have time, it would be nice to attend a banquet."

"Outside?"

Shen Yi glanced sideways, surprised that Qingyue Sect was also responsible for guiding them. With the allied sect's backing, it would definitely be safer than wandering blindly: "In that case, I won't be polite."

Tongxin Chuan and Xu Qing'er were well-behaved, standing quietly in their places. With their cultivation levels, the outside world was still too dangerous.

Even Qingyue Sect required a Return to Void Realm of three layers for one to qualify as an administrator and leave the sect on errands.

"Sigh."

Li Qingfeng understood, but he still itched to rub his hands.

He was extremely curious about these things.

"Umm..." Liu Qianyun couldn't help but look at Shen Yi with a smile, and said softly, "In this area... or rather, in all of Southern Hongze, we don't cause trouble, but we also don't fear it. It's just a banquet. Me attending is already giving them face; there won't be any danger."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi nodded towards Qingfeng.

With this self-proclaimed acquaintance by his side, she could help him deal with those useless formalities.
