Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 349 - 347: Harvesting a Precious Treasure

Chapter 349 -347: Harvesting a Precious Treasure

The strange phenomena in heaven and earth drew the attention of several cultivators.

Having finally fled to the entrance of the cave dwelling, they were attracted by the faint golden color.

“A Transcendent Spirit True Man has fallen…”

Actually, it could be specified a bit more, Zhang Xuanyan was dead.

This should have been a joyous occasion, but the few cultivators couldn’t bring themselves to smile; they were even so afraid that their facial features were twitching.

“Run!”

...

Someone let out a piercing scream.

In front of a Demon Emperor comparable to the Late Stage of Transcendent Spirit, one’s life was no longer under their own control.

What they could only hope for was that Zhang Xuanyan had severely injured the adversary before he perished.

That Golden Eyes Lion Emperor had grown to such an extent without making a sound, truly more like a heavenly favorite than a human prodigy.

The group swiftly fled the cave dwelling, daring not to linger a moment longer.

Summoning their Dao Infants to take to the skies, they fled with all their might for who knows how long until, utterly spent, they collapsed toward the towering archway.

And at this moment.

Shen Yi was seriously pondering the objects he had found on Zhang Xuanyan’s body, together with the Qingqiu elder.

“Reporting to my lord, this is a map of the entire cave dwelling.”

“As expected of an Immortal Sect, to be so well prepared and strategic, nothing like those Loose Cultivators who barge around blindly.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s brow lifted slightly.

He felt somewhat offended.

Nevertheless, he seriously looked at the notations on the map. The Mysterious Light Cave had already comprehensively charted the entire steward’s dwelling, systematically exploring nearly all the structures from the outside in.

The reason they had not yet abandoned this place…

Shen Yi’s gaze landed on an inconspicuous spot, a small building adjacent to the alchemy room that someone had marked with a pen with great care.

Next to it were extensive trial notes.

“Is it feasible?”

Shen Yi looked sideways towards the Qingqiu elder.

“It might require some time.”

The Qingqiu elder bowed somewhat fearfully; clearly, when it came to the way of Formations, it did not possess the same confidence as A’Qing.

Luckily, what Shen Yi had in abundance now was time.

An esteemed Demon Emperor, strolling through his own cave dwelling, why should there be any rush? All that was needed was to leave before the dwelling’s closure.

With that, Shen Yi directly led the old fox towards that small building.

Then he handed over the map he held.

Watching as the Qingqiu elder started studying how to break the Formation.

Shen Yi found a secluded spot to begin tallying his gains.

Above all, the Xuan Ming Seal was unquestionably a unique Precious Tool, followed by the good quality of both the long whip and the treasured sword.

The unfortunate thing was that bronze bell, clearly no less valuable than the Xuan Ming Seal, along with the other’s Vestment robe…

Beyond that, there were numerous precious pills and Heaven and Earth Treasures, a shame none were recognized; best left for the old fox to identify slowly after it was done.

Shen Yi shook his head and stored away all the items.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The power of the Five Thunder Sword Technique of Heavenly Destruction had greatly exceeded his expectations.

Of course, part of this was attributed to external factors.

The Thousand Demon Cave was already a place abundant with Spiritual Energy, which was even richer inside the dwelling than outside.

Although with his current Boundary he could only summon the vital energy of heaven and earth from around a hundred miles, he profited from the diversity of energy types, able to use whatever was available.

With the two factors combined, outside the Thousand Demon Cave, it would have been equivalent to conjuring the Spiritual Energy from a thousand-mile radius all at once.

“It seems there’s also another technique of the same level.”

Shen Yi suddenly remembered his own Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang.

Now, there weren’t many paths left for him to advance.

For improving his Cultivation in the Divinity Transformation Realm, he still had no idea where to look for the needed technique, stuck at the initial stage.

In terms of Body Refining, the leap from the Nine Demons had roughly granted him the strength to barely touch the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, but any further extrapolation of the Demon Transformation Technique was met with silence.

Yet the Golden Body Technique still had room for improvement.

“”

Once the Xu Family completed the formation, it provided the people of Great Qian with true stability. I’m sure Incense Willpower will be replenished as a result.

However, it will still require some more time.

Of course, as long as one is willing to consume the lifespan of demons, it’s always possible to deduce the path ahead. Whether it’s the correct path or not is another question, but at least it will not leave one without a method to cultivate.

“It’s your turn.”

The principle of Shen Yi is, first learn all that you can.

He revealed his true form and took out the annotations left by that predecessor.

He finally turned to the Focused Heart section.

The entire cultivation technique was not only incomplete but also filled with guesses from the cultivator of that cave abode. Others might not dare to learn it, but Shen Yi was already used to it.

The power of the Detached Flame Palm at most counts as an ordinary Transcendent Spirit Technique.

Its true power lies in the fact that, once proficiency in controlling Detached Flame is achieved, it doesn’t attack the body but refines the Divine Soul instead.

At least until now.

Shen Yi had not yet seen any cultivator with a method specifically geared towards defending against attacks on the Divine Soul.

At best, there were some auxiliary Precious Tools, like his own Abyssal Longblade.

He meticulously studied the ancient tome, and while becoming familiar with the text, he also began trying to understand its deeper meanings.

After cultivating so many techniques, he was no longer the complete novice he used to be.

Time slowly passed.

As Shen Yi, a bit weary, rubbed his temples, a surprised exclamation from the ancestor of Qingqiu echoed in his mind, “Reporting to my lord, I’ve found it!”

Shen Yi looked up, and while he had great faith in the loyalty of the fox, he still harbored doubts about its abilities.

That was precisely why he brought Qinghua with him before entering.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned it: “Go take a look.”

Qinghua nodded respectfully and promptly brought forth a dusk-golden Dharma Aspect. Feathers flitted slightly behind it as its form vanished in an instant.

About the time it takes for a pot of tea to brew.

Shen Yi, hearing the distant rumbling sounds, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Then he saw the Golden Body Dharma Identity somewhat awkwardly suspended in the air, gazing indifferently at the Demon Soul below, slowly clenching its fist: “…”

“I…I…”

The ancestor of Qingqiu was at a loss for words, awkwardly burying its head.

Fortunately, Qinghua had no intention of arguing, merely nodding respectfully to Shen Yi: “My lord, it has been opened.”

Only then did Shen Yi rise and walk towards the small building.

He stepped directly into the ruins and then ascended the half-collapsed second floor.

In the empty room, only a half-human-high jade platform was placed.

An officer of the Nanyang Sect specially built a small building just to place a single item.

Shen Yi’s breathing grew slightly more rapid.

He approached the jade platform, looked down, and in his view was a neatly folded garment.

Wrapping his hands in breath, his fingertips gently touched it.

Before even touching the garment, a golden card fluttered up first.

“With this vestment robe, congratulations to the elder on his birthday.”

The golden card fell into Shen Yi’s palms, and immediately the vestment robe began to flutter as if of its own accord.

The thin, cicada-wing-like robe was of the gravest ink-black color.

Golden threads outlined formations on it, the hem decorated with auspicious cloud and dragon-phoenix patterns, the overall look being somewhat loose and imposing with an air of dignity.

“…”

Shen Yi tried stretching his arms and the black robe with golden patterns floated over, as if several invisible hands were adjusting his robe and belt for him.

He turned around slowly.

But he saw both Qinghua and the fox looking stunned.

If previously Shen Yi had seemed like a human-shaped demon brimming with violent energy, then the moment the vestment robe settled on him, he resembled a venerable senior of an Immortal Sect, exuding a kind of magnificent unfathomability.

At that moment.

This unfathomable senior suddenly clenched his fist and gave his own arm a fierce punch.

But to see the blow that was made with full force dissipating silently upon the arm, not even causing the formations on the robe to react at all.

Seeing this, Shen Yi finally showed a trace of joy in his eyes: “What a fine item.”
