Chapter 660: Her Background Runs Deep
Chapter 660: Her Background Runs Deep
Ye Lan, as the rightful heir of the Triad Immortal Sect, not only possessed profound comprehension of cultivation techniques but also explained them with clarity and ease.
With the aid of the panel's demonstration, Shen Yi quickly grasped the essence of these two cultivation techniques.
However, he didn't immediately commence his cultivation.
Firstly, demons and monsters had limited lifespans, and the Triad Immortal Sect's cultivation techniques differed from the Wanderer's Path. It wasn't solely about diligent cultivation to improve one's skills; it also required the integration of one's personal understanding and insights.
Moreover, when Shen Yi advanced to the True Immortal Realm, he did so using the unorthodox techniques of the Jade Dragon Sect. Returning to the orthodox path would be an even greater challenge.
Secondly, with Ye Lan's cultivation, it was easy for her to perceive changes in his realm. For instance, back at the Earth God Temple, she not only discerned his progress but also personally helped him adjust his cultivation using the Imperial Qi of the mortal realm.
Even though their relationship had become closer than before, the existence of the panel remained a secret that couldn't be revealed.
"You seem to be in a good spirits?" Ye Lan closed the cultivation manual. After experiencing these events, she found it challenging to comprehend Shen Yi's thoughts.
The Void Dao Fruit was indeed precious, but it wasn't irreplaceable.
With his abilities and talents, joining a reputable sect that possessed one of the top ten Dao Fruits wouldn't be an impossible task.
Moreover, it would be a proper Immortal Sect, unlike her own declining lineage.
"I'm doing okay."
Shen Yi stood up and stretched his arms slightly.
To put it simply, Medicine Peak was the only intact lineage he had joined in his cultivation journey thus far. It not only provided a direct path to the Fifth Stage Tai Yi Immortal Realm but also offered a clear path to the Fourth Stage.
This would save him a lot of brainpower and demon lifespan.
If he had joined another place, he would have had to first find a master and then climb the ladder step by step.
On the surface, his exceptional talents would earn him special attention, but along with that would come the scrutiny and restrictions of countless senior experts.
Being watched by so many eyes, keeping secrets would be no easy task.
In comparison, Medicine Peak, with only Ye Lan, could be considered a treasure trove tailored just for him.
Of course, aside from these matters, there was another reason for joy.
Hongze... was finally alive.
Shen Yi gazed into the distance beyond the house.
Killing an immortal was a grave matter, but it also depended on who did it.
If Hongze were a wanderer, he would undoubtedly be considered a rebel.
However, as the Peak Master of Divine Void Mountain, backed by a Third Stage Great Dharmaraja, he might not dare to openly slay a Seventh Stage Immortal Official, but with this connection, there was room for maneuver if an investigation were to take place.
"It's time to go back."
Ye Lan followed suit, as their journey had already exceeded her initial estimation.
After all, the Seven Treasure Bodhisattva's lecture had affected most of Southern Continent, and sooner or later, chaos would ensue. Let's not forget that they also held the identity of the Demon Slaying Bureau.
If it were any other day, Meng Xiuwen alone could handle the Jianyang Prefecture issue, but one never knew when an accident might occur.
At that moment, Ye Lan glanced sideways and noticed that Shen Yi, who had just relaxed a bit, had once again transformed into an unreadable figure, like a calm and serene well.
It was exactly like when he had slain those two immortal beasts outside Crane Mountain.
"What happened?" She furrowed her brows and asked.
Shen Yi's gaze fell upon the blue sea beyond Divine Void Mountain, and the next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and dashed away!
...
In the vast expanse of the blue sea, a group of heavenly soldiers stood motionless, their exquisite immortal armor shattered and in disarray.

"Hurry up!" You Yun Shan's hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly disheveled, his face contorted with rage as he roared at the person beside him.
The White Feather Immortal and the two White Feather Demons had occupied this place for many years, turning it into an impenetrable fortress.
Moreover, General Qian Qing's actions were too abrupt, and in just a few days, there was no time to notify colleagues for reinforcement.
Something had happened!
"Who are you yelling at?" Shi Yong glared at him and said coldly, "Did I give the order?"
As a superior, one must bear the corresponding consequences after giving an order.
"You..."
You Yun Shan was taken aback and gritted his teeth, "He's new here, and he's from a charitable background. It's normal for him to be inexperienced after only serving as a stable boy for a short time. I asked you to dissuade him, and you didn't say this!"
"Moreover, General Qian Qing eventually lured the great demon away alone, allowing us to retreat. If not for that, you wouldn't be standing here."
"..."
Worry clouded the faces of the surrounding heavenly soldiers.
This newly arrived Shangguan is indeed overambitious, but he is genuinely good to his subordinates. When the situation turned against him, he actually ordered his men to flee first. Such a selfless act by an Immortal General is rare in the entire Immortal Court.
Shi Yong slowly retracted his gaze and focused on the object in his hands: "This grand array is inherently complex. If anything goes wrong, our Immortal General will truly be doomed."
Upon hearing this, You Yun Shan had nothing to say. No matter how worried he was, he could only remain silent and wait.
After all, he was different from Shi Yong. Both were Seventh Stage Immortal Generals and possessed Sixth Stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation, but his lineage was from a minor sect, while Shi Yong was a junior of the same lineage as the Qing Luan General.
Only such a prestigious lineage could produce an array capable of saving General Qian Qing from the clutches of a Great Demon.
Even though he had seen Shi Yong set up this array before, and it was much faster then, he increasingly suspected that Shi Yong was deliberately stalling. However, not understanding the intricacies of array formation, he could not pinpoint any issues.
"Ah!"
Thinking of this, You Yun Shan sighed heavily.
He had thought that with the three of them present, slaying a Heavenly Realm snake demon would be a simple matter, as long as they acted swiftly.
Who would have thought that the "concrete evidence" that General Qing Luan had not been able to obtain for so many years would coincidentally fall into their hands?
This was a serious matter.
The one currently attacking was merely one of the White Rainbow Three Immortals, Bai Yu Immortal. If they delayed any longer, the other two Fifth StageTaiYi Immortals would likely arrive, and by then, this array might not be enough to save the ImmortalGeneral.
"..."
Shi Yong calmly set up the teleportationarray while silently calculating thetime in his mind.
To see what this General Qian Qing relied on in the mortal world, the best scenario would be to put him in a desperate situation.
Only in the face of death could one see the truth.
Moreover, would such an overambitious and reckless individual really let his subordinates retreat first?
Don't be ridiculous.
It was probably out of fear, not wanting others to see his other means.
Thinking this, Shi Yong slightly raised his eyes and gazed into the distant, empty sky, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
The task entrusted by Senior Uncle Qing Luan was about to be completed.
There would definitely be rewards for him.
At the same time, on the other side of the Blue Sea, a hundred-foot wave suddenly splashed up.
Amidst the roar, a damaged golden dharma body rolled several times in the waves, the large seal in its hand dimming, causing the clear aura around it to gradually dissipate.
"Realm of Fusion?"
Above the sea, over a dozen terrifying figures stared intently at the golden dharma body, their eyes filled with surprise.
These Great Demons were all formidable, their auras powerful. Even though they were engaged in the act of slaying an Immortal, their hearts were filled with agitation, yet none of them retreated.
At the forefront of these terrifying figures, a woman clad in a thin white veil stood with her hands behind her back. The sheer fabric accentuated her graceful figure.
She floated in the air, her brows furrowed with agitation, yet she still smiled: "It seems the Immortal Official has a formidable background."
To achieve the Realm of Fusion and wield a Sixth Stage Immortal Seal, what a great cost it must have been.
Before she finished speaking, the woman had already descended before the golden dharma body: "But did your elders never warn you to be more low-key when traveling outside?"
"After all, you are so precious. It would be such a pity to die like this."
"Our lives are cheaper."
She continued, her voice gentle, but a violent light flashed in her eyes. Her sharp fingers suddenly plunged into the chin of the golden dharma body, and with her delicate, graceful form, she forcefully dragged the dozen-foot-tall dharma body out of the sea.
"Life is cheap! So we don't fear losing it!"
"The things you're proud of can't scare us." She grinned, her face twisted with malice.
Hearing Bai Yu Immortal's sharp words, the surrounding Great Demons' eyes gradually turned blood red, as if injected with adrenaline, and they all surged forward in unison.
It was more about venting their anger than solving the problem.
The White Rainbow Three Immortals had once stolen a precious tree planted by a Great Immortal in the mortal world. They had done it so cleanly and fled to the Blue Sea, relying on the fruits of this tree to advance to the Fifth Stage Tai Yi Immortal realm.
When the tree withered and only a few sprouts remained, they distributed these sprouts to trusted subordinates to be cultivated in various ways.
The snake demon that this Immortal General had slain a few days ago was one of these subordinates, and it had coincidentally seen one of the sprouts.
I
Years of meticulous planning would be ruined in an instant.
All because this damned thing, thinking its background was strong enough to act recklessly.
Since that was the case, today they would show it how laughable its boasted background was in the eyes of demons who had risen from life and death struggles in the mortal world.
(End of Chapter)Title: The Golden-Bodied Arhat
Chapter 1: The Mysterious Arhat
Qing Hua, the Lady of Blue Flowers, felt the last trace of energy in the Grand Seal being drained away. With her sixth-stage immortal powers, she was still too weak to face a true Tai Yi Immortal.
After losing the Grand Seal, her remaining cultivation, nurtured by forcefully feeding her immortal pills, was what she had when she was initially confined by Shi Ren.
She struggled to open her eyes, but her consciousness gradually blurred.
She could only sense Bai Yu Immortal exerting himself, throwing his entire body forward, his words reaching her ears, indifferent and distant.
"Divide and consume."
Though she was a demon, the surrounding entities were not ordinary demons and monsters. They were renowned in the vast Blue Sea.
Her identity had long set her apart from common demons and monsters, and she rarely revealed her ferocious appearance.
However, facing the temptation of a true immortal general, their breathing became unavoidably heavy.
Compared to consuming their prey, the stimulation was what truly excited them.
Since they were already outlaws, why not add a bold stroke to their reputation?
"Huh!"
Lady Qing Hua sniffed the foul odor, her blurred vision filled with numerous dark shadows.
She thought that as a demon soul who had died once, she should not fear death. But when the horde of demons pounced, she couldn't help but curl up her thin body.
The Grand Seal and her identity hadn't had a chance to play a larger role. If it were another demon soul, perhaps they could have done better...
Just then, Qing Hua discovered that the dark shadows had all frozen in place.
She felt like she had crashed into a solid and sturdy location.
In the boundless Blue Sea, the waves calmed, enveloping all in silence.
A majestic golden figure stood tall as a mountain, feet planted in the vast ocean, head reaching the blue sky, and hands gently holding the golden body of the Arhat.
He calmly scanned the tiny figure in his palm, confirming there were no major issues. His five fingers slowly closed, and he lifted his gaze to the many figures ahead.
This sudden appearance didn't introduce themselves.
But the demons suspended in the air twisted their faces, their hearts ignited with malicious fires from the stimulation. When faced with the majestic and robust golden body, their fires seemed doused by a bucket of cold water.
"A Bodhimanda Arhat!"
This was unbelievable. The Bodhimanda and Triad Immortal Sects were always distinct, like oil and water.
Just then, at Shen Xu Ancestor's Dao platform, a sudden Arhat appeared!
"Run!"
An unknown demon roared, and the many figures scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions.
The Arhat didn't pursue, not even raising an eyebrow.
The next moment, within his robust body, dragon and tiger shadows burst forth. These shadows seemed to carry endless grudges and murderous intent, breaking free from the Arhat's body's confinement. In an instant, the surrounding Blue Sea froze to its core.
The dragon's roar and tiger's growl rumbled like thunder.
A roar shook the heavens. The shadow, vast as the sky, quickly covered the firmament, opening a blood basin mouth. In a flash, the blue sky was engulfed in darkness.
The figures that had scattered and fled seemed to have never existed.
"..."
Golden light rained down, scattering like a sunset over the Blue Sea.
Bai Yu Immortal swallowed hard, her throat constricting.
She knew this immortal general must have a powerful background, but she never imagined he would have an Arhat as his personal protector.
This was a treatment only a Bodhisattva could receive.
Beyond the mist.
Ye Jing stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded. She knew Shen Yi had a connection with the Bodhimanda, but this relationship seemed too deep...
If the Arhat was just a wanderer, it would be fine.
An Arhat, in the Demon-Slaying Bureau?
"Sister?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
Ye Lan stood with her hands clasped, truthfully unsure how to explain this situation.
Moreover, after seeing Shen Yi slay those two mounts, she assumed he had a grudge with the Immortal Court. But what was this situation now?
Ye Lan's gaze fell on the Arhat's golden body, his right palm gripping the air.
If she wasn't mistaken, this was the person Shen Yi rushed to save, likely an immortal general.
Thinking further, the heavenly soldiers and generals stationed in the Blue Sea were probably subordinates of the Qing Luan Immortal General... Shen Yi had just killed their mounts, and now he rushed to save their commander?
Ye Lan took a deep breath. She thought that as she became more familiar with this young man, she would uncover his secrets.
But why did this situation become more confusing the more she thought about it?
