Chapter 623: Lord of Hongze
Chapter 623: Lord of Hongze
Qinghua Lady escorted Prince Ziyang out of the hall and closed the door again.
Shen Yi sat cross-legged, his gaze profound.
To be honest, neither of the two paths sounded very reliable to him.
Returning to the Immortal Court was out of the question. Setting aside the matter of the Immortal Seal, Shen Yi was not used to entrusting his life to others.
Moreover, he was completely in the dark about the Immortal Court.
How much power did Shi Ren's uncles and aunts really have, and what were their characters like? And what about that Purple Bearded White Dragon who had befriended a Great Immortal—would it have a say in such matters?
Not knowing anything, it was no different from courting death.
Escaping and becoming a Tri-Teach Immortal also seemed overly simplistic to Shen Yi.
Of course, in terms of talent, his foundation of opening five immortal cities indeed made him one of the top cultivators in Hongze, a unique standout like a scorpion pancake.
But apart from his foundation, shouldn't cultivators also value insight?
If those immortals casually asked a few questions, he would most likely be exposed.
It wouldn't do to let them hand him a cultivation technique, where he knew nothing but could practice and master it instantly... That would be too amazing. The immortals would likely scrutinize him, flay his skin, and extract his soul for a detailed interrogation.
"Difficult."
S
The Eastern Dragon King, who had broader horizons, was already dead, and even his Dragon Soul was sealed by a magical artifact and sent to the heavens.
Thinking of the old man in the blue robe, Shen Yi's eyes narrowed.
Though they were not old acquaintances, the old Dragon King had proven with his life that he was truly thinking wholeheartedly for a stranger.
To put it bluntly, the Dragon Seal was already in hand.
With the other party's Dao Realm strength, he could have remained behind the scenes, observing what the young Nanyang Sect Leader could do, and assessing the situation of the immortals before making a decision.
Just for this gesture, Shen Yi would have saved the old Dragon King if there were a chance, without needing Prince Ziyang to ask.
In addition, there was Senior Xuanqing.
The immortals were dead, and it seemed the great vengeance of the Nanyang Sect's destruction had been avenged. But in reality, anyone could see that the true culprit was still at large and would become more and more untouchable.
Shen Yi slowly clenched his fist. He rarely agreed to do something for others, but once he did, he would try his best to complete it.
Xuanqing had dared to go to the other six sects, forcing the sect leaders to recognize his position as Nanyang Sect Leader, and even sacrificed his life to help stabilize Shen Yi's foundation.
He would not shirk his responsibility just because the Purple Bearded White Dragon had a lofty status.
"Whatever it takes, I have to get out."
Shen Yi looked at the towering Imprisoning Hell Golden Body beside him.
If he felt there was no way out, it might be because his perspective was too narrow. Instead of sitting here and thinking in vain, he should take a step forward.
"Qinghua understands."
Qinghua Lady knew exactly what her master meant. Her master needed an informant in the unknown Immortal Court.
She had not been of much help for a long time, and now, instead of fear, she felt a mix of joy and excitement.
"Go." Shen Yi nodded lightly, the Virtue Golden Radiance already guiding her to the heavens.
"Qinghua will not disappoint my master!" Qinghua Lady nodded vigorously. With her master in a difficult situation, she needed to gain some influence in the Immortal Court, or climb a bit higher, to truly be of use.
After bowing, she turned and transformed into a golden light, embarking on the long-overdue path to the heavens.
"..."
S
This path was indeed the Imprisoning Hell Golden Body method he had devised.
Well, though he couldn't take the broad path, at least he still had a narrow bridge.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the panel.
【Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 47,620,000 years】
When he destroyed the Southern Dragon Palace, apart from the Yellow Slaughter Toad Dragon, most of its vassals were also wiped out. Adding the Western Flood's great demons that were driven here, he barely managed to gather 20 million years.
In the subsequent battles with the Western Flood, due to the urgency of time, the entire operation was too hasty.
Shen Yi only eliminated the main forces of the Dragon Palace, and the vassals were left to the South Hong seniors to handle. The demonic lifespans gained were even less than what the South Hong obtained.
(End of chapter)
This time, with Shi Ren's order, all the strong figures in the Northern Flood were mobilized.
A decisive battle turned the Northern Flood into a truly impoverished backwater.
Including the gains from the earlier dispersal, which were used to gather the Eastern Dragon Palace Demon Emperor Seal, this cleansing of Hongze directly brought Shen Yi nearly sixty million years of demonic lifespan.
Indeed, it was thoroughly cleansed... just in the north.
"Phew."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
The White Rhino Jade Seal slowly floated out, struggling violently in the air.
Next to this jade seal, three crimson large seals were floating.
With the help of the White Rhino Jade Seal, the entire Hongze water and land were laid out in Shen Yi's mind.
He slightly extended his palm, and the shadow of the Ten Thousand Demons Northern Palace instantly enveloped the Northern Dragon Palace.
A Golden Turtle Seal began to form.
Shen Yi's actions did not stop; the shadow of the Ten Thousand Demons Central Palace directly descended upon the Immortal Residence, and the fifth Auspicious Unicorn Seal gradually took shape.
In an instant, the remaining hind leg of the White Rhino Jade Seal was occupied by the Golden Turtle patterns, preventing it from struggling any further.
At the same time, the fierce Auspicious Unicorn firmly gripped its head.
With the five seals in unison, the White Rhino Jade Seal suddenly stopped trembling, and the transparent jade surface showed spider-web-like blood threads, which quickly faded as time passed, restoring the seal to its normal state.
"Tsk."
Shen Yi extended his hand to grip the jade seal, immediately feeling the surging divine power of the Four Floods flow through his fingertips. Under the suppression of the five Demon Emperor Seals, this thing had become his private possession.
Who says immortals must be conferred by the Immortal Court? Why shouldn't a Demon Emperor's seal count?
He toyed with it for a moment.
Shen Yi quickly put away the White Rhino Immortal Seal. Based on his observations, the power bestowed by the Immortal Court to a Seventh Rank Heavenly Official was at least a major realm higher than that of a Fusion Daoist. Otherwise, it would be impossible to subdue it so effortlessly.
After all, the official seal was taken from the Immortal Court, and using it without restraint was out of the question.
But he was about to leave Hongze for Shenzhou, and he needed to carry something to fight with.
[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 25,620,000 years]
With the White Rhino Jade Seal as a safeguard, Shen Yi felt a bit more confident and stood up, looking out of the hall.
The next moment, a sky full of black light, like meteors piercing the Heavenly Sky, carried a strong, bloody smell and converged toward the Immortal Residence!
Rustle—
One by one, restraining stones stood before Shen Yi, instantly making the entire hall more sinister and filled with an unbearable stench.
Countless blood-soaked storage bags quickly flew out and piled up into a small mountain in the hall.
The moment he opened the first bag, Shen Yi seemed to transform, his mind focused as if he were sculpting a work of art, counting the corpses in his hands.
If these restraining stones were all filled with malevolent energy,
then Shen Yi's current demeanor, as their master, made even the stones feel a bit uneasy.
Only Wu Jun, with eyes full of anticipation, stared at the bag that Ke Shisan had deliberately placed on top of the small mountain.
"Hmm?"
Shen Yi took out the old turtle torn in two, slightly stunned.
To be honest, if it weren't for the formation of the Golden Turtle Seal, he would have almost forgotten he had a Northern Palace Master.
White Jade Capital... such a strange realm.
Demonic lifespan began to decrease rapidly again.
In a place invisible to others, the essence of demons spread throughout the entire hall, like a sky full of stars, then fell like rain.
Many demon souls were reshaped and integrated into the restraining stones.
The empty Northern Palace and Central Palace gradually filled with black misty figures.
The life within them suddenly became vibrant!
Two more divine techniques emerged, pushing Shen Yi's realm to a new level!
With five divine techniques gathered, he reached the peak of the Heaven Realm.
The gains from the Northern Flood far exceeded Shen Yi's expectations.
First, the White Rhino Immortal Seal, then he crossed two major thresholds.
Yue Tianji quietly approached and finally presented a palm-sized stone stele.
With the Ancestral Stele and the Divine Mountain, Shen Yi now possessed two Immortal Treasures. Although he did not yet understand their true effects, anything associated with the word "immortal" would not be much worse than the White Rhino Seal.
But before he could show any joy, his brows furrowed slightly.
His gaze became somewhat unfocused as the black pearl, which he had taken from the Concealed Hair Pavilion in Nanyang's treasure land, suddenly radiated with light.
This was the only legacy left by the previous Nanyang Sect Master, originally thought to be a special favor for Xuan Qing, but unexpectedly, it had undergone a transformation.
Compared to the previous encounter in the Concealed Hair Pavilion, Shen Yi was directly pulled into the Illusionary Realm, witnessing the scene of Xuanqing's departure.
Now, with his cultivation leap, he could see how the Illusionary Formation was activated.
"What did you leave behind?"
Shen Yi summoned Yin Yang Birth Death to stabilize his soul, and only then did he look at the Illusionary Realm with a solemn expression.
In an instant, the Immortal Residence transformed into the Nanyang Treasure Land.
But it was clear that the bustling cultivators coming and going were the Nanyang Sect from ten million years ago, even more prosperous than before.
The old man sat quietly on the peak of a mountain, leaving only his back to Shen Yi.
Although his figure was identical to the old man in the Pavilion, the aura he carried was obviously stronger, and he was far less amiable.
"Heh!"
Shen Yi took just a glance, and his soul was drawn in.
Yin Yang Birth Death showed no reaction, indicating it didn't foresee any danger.
Even if Qin Sect Master was as strong as Half-Step Dao Realm, he wouldn't be able to suppress a Demon Emperor Artifact to the point of no reaction.
Shen Yi didn't panic and reopened his eyes.
In an instant, he saw Nanyang Sect through Qin Jiaoyang's eyes.
The sword merged with the earth, the body with heaven, and the soul with the Dao.
Within the green pearl, besides the profound cultivation methods of Nanyang Sect, there was also the Half-Step Dao Realm cultivator's insights into the final step of Dao Merger.
Dao Merger cultivators were the heaven and earth of the sect.
From the perspective of heaven and earth, he observed the changing world and the mortal realm.
Unfortunately, Qin Sect Master didn't finish reading; he stood too high and only saw half of the mortal realm, not having the chance to observe the boundless land beyond the cultivators.
Hence, he hadn't taken that final step.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi immersed himself in the insights, digesting them carefully, and then closed his eyes again.
At this moment, his mind conjured up Baiyun County, Qingzhou, Great Qian... every piece of land and water his boots had trodden upon.
And the living people on these lands and waters, along with their joys, angers, sorrows, and joys.
One was born on the mountaintop, and one came from humble beginnings.
Their thoughts gradually merged, beginning to complete this heaven and earth.
"Farewell."
Qin Jiaoyang bid farewell softly, still not turning back, but Shen Yi felt the other's moist face.
Xuanqing had been sinking outside Nanyang for ten million years, while his master was in Nanyang Sect, reminiscing about the past appearance of this heaven and earth.
With Zi Ling's dream of becoming an immortal and founding a sect, along with Shi Ren's palm strike, this master and disciple couldn't transcend until now.
Shen Yi withdrew from the body, watching as everything before him began to crumble and the old man in front of him slowly turned into blue smoke and dissipated.
After a moment, he nodded lightly, "Farewell."
Xuanqing's predecessor helped him enter Dao Merger, and Qin Sect Master helped him complete the Dao Merger.
Creak.
As Shen Yi turned around, the door of the Immortal Residence slowly opened.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling.
He scanned the crowd standing silently outside the hall, committing their faces to memory.
Then he lifted his gaze to the sky, his sharp eyes seeming to penetrate the clouds, all the way to the Immortal Court above, landing on the woman behind the desk.
The uneasiness in his heart seemed to dissipate at this moment.
As the long sleeves of his robe fluttered, the black-robed figure calmly stepped through the crowd.
"..."
Those with profound cultivation were all aware of Shen Yi's strangeness.
Even Ye Jiu was shaken, Ji Jingxi and the others stood in a daze, and Ziyang stared at the young man, noticing the difference from before.
Dao Realm... the only Dao Realm in Floodze now.
With the opening and closing of the hall's door, Shen Yi had completed the Dao Merger path.
Even without the existence of immortal power, he was the true master of Floodze!
"Hmm."
Shen Yi stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance at the path leading out of Floodze.
He turned slightly and smiled, "Who wants to take a look outside? Let's go together."
It wasn't his first time risking his life, so why worry? Better to stay relaxed.
At least, up until now, he had guarded what he wanted to guard, so he continued to win.
Even Jiang Qiulan, who was most familiar with Shen Yi, had never seen such a warm smile on this youth's face.
Not to mention the others.
They were stunned for a long time, finally reacting to the fact that Floodze had changed hands.
The blockade that had hindered their steps had quietly disappeared without a trace.
From now on, Floodze was no different from any other place, just a tiny, insignificant part of Shenzhou, with no distinction.
Since it was like this, why stop?
