Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 373 - 371: A Glimpse into the Treasure Land of Nanyang Sect (Re-thanking the Alliance Hierarch, Tianji Miao)

Chapter 373: Chapter 371: A Glimpse into the Treasure Land of Nanyang Sect (Re-thanking the Alliance Hierarch, Tianji Miao)

The fading twilight fell on the wooden desk, the scent of ancient books wafted into the nostrils.

Shen Yi frowned slightly, feeling slightly uneasy in the unfamiliar environment.

Before stepping into the pitch-black light curtain, he had not expected to see such a serene and peaceful scene.

Looking around, the meandering staircase was flanked by neatly arranged bookshelves, on which ancient books fluttered their pages with a rustling sound and jade slips trembled lightly, sounding like pleasant spring water.

Shen Yi glanced at the blood-drenched corpse of the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor in his hand.

Then looked toward the quiet spider curled up nearby, flipping through an ancient book with its long legs.

...

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether he or the spider was the true demon.

It seemed as though he didn’t quite fit in with the essence of this scholarly place.

“If I remember correctly, this is your first time in the Law Storage Pavilion?”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor opened its eyes and smiled.

Clearly, it was quite pleased with Shen Yi’s behavior just now.

Be it the resolute and decisive way he killed Thunder Hoof, or the subtle demeanor he displayed toward the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor afterward.

This lion… was actually flirting with the Nine-Stripe Fierce Tiger.

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor didn’t care about this in the slightest, finding it somewhat amusing.

As long as the other wasn’t betraying itself, if it did manage to catch the eye of the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor, it might even be a good thing for the Spider Emperor.

“First time.”

Shen Yi dropped the corpse of Thunder Hoof and looked up and around.

If it weren’t for the support of the Nanyang Illusory Art at this moment, he might not be able to maintain such a composed demeanor.

He had originally thought the spider was an old Demon Emperor with a substantial background.

Little did he expect that what the other was guarding was a veritable gold mine.

Since it was his first time here, a bit of curiosity was only natural and shouldn’t raise suspicions, which also matched the reckless temperament he was portraying.

With this thought, Shen Yi walked away from Thunder Hoof.

He strolled to the front of the bookshelf and stretched out his hand toward an ancient book: “What are all these?”

Just then, an arm covered in pitch-black velvet fur suddenly landed on his arm.

No matter how hard Shen Yi tried, he could not reach any closer.

The strength within the spider’s limb was like a deep ocean, fathomless.

“…”

Was this the strength of one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors?

Shen Yi did not struggle any further but looked at the spider with a trace of anger in his eyes and said coldly, “Am I not allowed to look?”

“Was this foul temper born with you?”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor suppressed its dissatisfaction, understanding the lion’s eagerness to improve its status as a manifestation of pride in its abilities.

Touching everything, offended if not allowed to touch.

Doing this to prove that it was different from the past.

The Spider Emperor withdrew its long limb, “Suit yourself, if you don’t care about losing your hand, then go ahead, touch it, you ungrateful creature.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi was slightly startled.

Now, his understanding of formations was not inferior to that of Xu Qing’er in pure knowledge.

If there really were traps, how could he not detect the slightest oddity?

After a brief moment of contemplation, he still withdrew his hand.

Seeing this, the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor let out a cold laugh, “The Law Storage Pavilion is the sacred ground of the Nanyang Sect. If anyone could touch it at will, it would be chaos. Even former disciples of the Nanyang Sect need to hold a decree to take certain scriptures.”

“What Nanyang Sect, the Beiyang Sect.” Shen Yi scoffed dismissively.

According to his communication with the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, as a Demon Emperor of the Forty Caves, the latter might be too low in status or simply indifferent to these matters, possibly even less informed about the Nanyang Sect than Shen Yi himself.

Concerned only with eating, drinking, excreting, fooling around, and guarding the domain on command, it didn’t care about the owner of the domain.

“Frog at the bottom of a well… unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth. I can’t be bothered with you.”

The Profound Abyss Spider Emperor extended a hand and pointed towards the staircase above, “If you’re truly interested, go take a look up there; those are the ones that I, in my years of boredom, attempted to break open. After seeing them, you’ll understand,” it said.

When it first arrived, it was equally fascinated with the Law Storage Pavilion.

However, this place was the orthodox Daoist sect, and the methods stored here were not ones that demons could practice. Many years ago, it even brought over foxes from Qingqiu, thinking they could gain something from it, but to no avail — those beasts were too stupid. They were only fit for figuring out trivial techniques, far from understanding the true ways of the Dao.

Gradually, its interest faded, and it used the pavilion as a way to pass time.

Of course, what could catch the eye of the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor certainly wouldn’t be the basic Qi-training methods on the first floor.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s expression remained contemptuous.

But his pace couldn’t help but quicken a bit.

He was truly having trouble keeping up the pretense.

Ever since his transmigration up until now, aside from initially entering the Martial Temple to select a Golden Body Technique, Shen Yi had never experienced the treatment of having a multitude of Cultivation Techniques laid out before him to choose from.

What’s more, these were all treasures of the Nanyang Sect!

As Shen Yi stepped onto the staircase, he realized that each floor of the Law Storage Pavilion was boundless, vast as a sea of clouds.

There were four floors in total.

When he reached the third floor, he found his path blocked by a floating wooden door.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, touch it and your life is at risk. It’s because of this door that I took over for that old deer and became one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors,” came the Spider Emperor’s languid voice from below.

It seemed as if it had stayed in the Law Storage Pavilion for too many years and enjoyed watching the lion’s ignorant and foolish appearance, taking the opportunity to show off its knowledge.

“…”

Shen Yi turned back and returned to the third floor.

On some of the bookshelves, traces of formations could occasionally be seen, with pale blue light screens eroded by something unknown, revealing gaps.

He walked up to them and extended his hand to take one out.

He then infused it with his spiritual consciousness.

[Return to Void. Innate Moon Wheel Palace: Uninitiated]

It was actually a real Return to Void Cultivation Technique!

Moreover, it was a genuine practice spell, not some other trick.

Shen Yi closed his eyes to digest the information, and then a barely perceptible difficulty flickered through his eyes.

It wasn’t a matter of meeting any requirements for aptitude.

No wonder it was from the reputed major sect — this Cultivation Technique actually had a complete system in place, from Qi-training to Divinity Transformation. One could only naturally come into contact with this Moon Wheel Palace after mastering the entire suite of this Cultivation Technique.

For disciples, this was a good thing, as it showed that the Nanyang Sect was a legitimate major sect with complete traditions, not some side-path teachings.

From the very beginning, they had already planned out the path for their disciples.

But for Shen Yi…

He looked down at the endless bookshelves below.

To find the prerequisite Cultivation Techniques for the Moon Wheel Palace among so many Jade Slips and still figure out a way to break the formations was nearly impossible.

Shen Yi threw the slip back onto the shelf and continued walking towards the back.

“Hmm?”

The casual demeanor of the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor began to change.

It fixed its gaze on the majestic lion above.

For some reason, it felt that the other was seriously selecting… which did not seem to be out of mere curiosity.

After a moment of hesitation, the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor slowly made its way up the staircase.

It stood behind the lion and spoke in a deep voice, “It seems as if you understand what you are looking at?”

In a short time, Shen Yi had already picked up the eighth Jade Slip. Hearing the voice from behind, he nonchalantly tossed the slip back onto the shelf and sneered, “Of course, I understand! These are merely Cultivation Techniques for cultivators, I have plenty of those in my lair, what’s there to fuss about?”

Hearing this, the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor looked rather speechless and raised its spider limb, “Foolish…”

Never mind, it’s unnecessary.
