Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 710 - 538: Heading to Wanxiang Pavilion

Chapter 710: Chapter 538: Heading to Wanxiang Pavilion

Amid the ethereal sea of clouds,

Shen Yi sat cross-legged on a steep cliff, his palms resting on his knees, his ink-black robe rustling in the wind.

It wasn’t out of idleness but rather to give Ke Shisan some time to rest.

From the beginning of his cultivation, Shen Yi had discovered that as the affixes became rarer, the difficulty of the Cultivation Technique increased exponentially.

Those Cultivation Techniques that possessed affixes were exclusive to prodigies.

Ke Shisan was definitely of the extremely intelligent kind, otherwise he wouldn’t be refining his demon body while self-studying the Return to Void Spiritual Technique, Azure Dragon Shattering Star Spear.

But the Shen Yue Dharma Body, being a Unity Realm Stage Precious Technique, wasn’t something you could succeed in by just infusing lifespan years; fearing that before the technique reached Perfection, Ke Shisan, already on the verge of collapse, might go mad first.

Temporary rest was necessary.

Moreover, Shen Yi previously didn’t have much Demon Lifespan left.

He absorbed the essence of the mountain spirit, meanwhile casting his gaze downward.

Emerging from the demon-inhabited cave, Yu Lan’s alluring face was still stained with blood, followed by a nauseating stench of dense blood.

[Union Dao (Rare). Shen Yue Art: Minor Achievement]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 10.7 million years]

Since those major forces marked by Ban Shan Sect were temporarily untouchable, Shen Yi simply chose these weaker Demon Races with little background and prodigies, believing that Infinite Dao Emperor Sect wouldn’t take interest in them, hence they didn’t flee... mainly because with their strength, it was hard for them to escape far.

Although he hadn’t found a valuable Demon Race to transform into a Town Stone, after all, not every Demon Race could snatch a territory on their own; most were just scattered demons gathering to survive, preventing Shen Yi from utilizing the "power of the entire race" strategy.

Fortunately, there were still quite a few lifespan years left.

Ke Shisan helped deduce the cultivation techniques, An Yi kept guard, and Yu Lan and Wu Jun were thus left with these laborious tasks.

Anyway, no one should expect to idle around.

"Continue."

Shen Yi casually pulled Ke Shisan back into the panel.

The Shen Yue Art, as the second subsequent technique hidden in that mountain, had power beyond his expectations.

Just at the Minor Achievement stage, its effect already surpassed that of Perfection in the Shen Yue Art.

Of course, the difficulty of practicing it also turned horrifically daunting.

As Shen Yi was deducing it, he realized that the Demon Lifespan had not increased for a long time and thus reminded Wu Jun with his Divine Sense.

"Report back to me, my lord; most have fled already,"

Wu Jun responded helplessly; these small-forces demons lived by eavesdropping and fleeing, and such news of their life-harvesting spread quickly.

"Apart from our activities, I’ve learned from some Little Demons that Western Hong has recently been disturbed, seems like some major force has invaded."

"Understood."

Shen Yi pondered for a moment but didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, he wasn’t a cultivator from Western Hong; rather, the more chaotic the water and land became, the better for him as muddy waters made catching big fish easier.

But he needed to be a bit more cautious in his future travels, to avoid being swept into unnecessary turmoil.

The best way, of course, was to locate Sect Master Ji first... at least to learn her position.

Shen Yi was not keen to relive the thrill of being hunted by the Frost Tiger Tribe chief. If not for good luck, forming a Unity Realm Stage Town Stone, he would have truly been done for.

With that thought, he accelerated the infusion of demon lifespan years.

Whether an illusion or not, cultivating the Shen Yue Art felt quite similar to the Guan Mountain experience; having gone through it once, Shen Yi found it familiar. And now, with Ke Shisan enduring most of the torment, he felt surprisingly at ease...

Shen Yi gazed down at the mountain beneath his feet, feeling as if the vast mountain range, which stretched endlessly, seemed ever so insignificant, almost graspable in one hand.

He slightly lifted his palm, then lightly pressed it down.

Boom—

Amid swirling clouds, the entire mountain range suddenly plunged downward, eventually transforming into an unremarkable floating island.

Though not capable of moving mountains and seas like the Frost Tiger Tribe chief, under the enhancement of the Shen Yue True Intent, it seemed he too had grasped some of the mighty power only available in the Union Dao Realm.

Shen Yi closed his eyes again, the Demon Lifespan flowing away like water.

As the days and months shifted, Ke Shisan suddenly leaped out from the panel, stumbled not three steps before collapsing to the ground.

The face that had just regained some clarity now turned ashen, lifeless as a Town Stone.

The newly returned Wu Jun was startled and turned to run: "My lord, I’ll go look for more Little Demons."

Poor Ke; his master had finally played him out! Was he the next one?

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 630,000 years]

[Union Dao (Rare). Shen Yue Art: Perfection]

"..."

Shen Yi gave him a bizarre look; with that tortoise brain of his, maybe he wouldn’t even waste Demon Lifespans as he did.

Casually collecting everyone except An Yi back, Ke Shisan would likely need a long time to recover. As for Yu Lan and An Yi, the former hadn’t practiced any Cultivator Techniques, and if it had some relation to the Heavenly Sword Sect, she might be somewhat useful, otherwise not much.

As for the latter, this little Tiger Demon probably wasn’t too bad intellectually, was still slacking off, and needed to be fed some basic cultivation techniques first.

"We are still short of people,"

Shen Yi sighed. The Ban Shan Sect was definitely a no-go for now; the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect wasn’t foolish and would surely send people to search.
