Chapter 1007: Chapter 650: Dao Ye is the Dragon Tiger Arhat (8K4, still owing 8K6)_2

He was probably the only one among everyone on the mountain peak who was truly listening carefully to the teachings.

With the help of the Spirit Light Rat, every True Word spoken by the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva was meticulously organized into a specific Cultivation Technique.

Until the last word fell, and a line of text finally emerged on the display.

[Sixth Grade. Nine Tribulations Golden Lotus Method: Not yet entry-level]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: One hundred and sixty-seven tribulations]

The vast Demon Lifespan collected in the Hongze finally had the chance to be put to use.

Shen Yi did not hesitate at all and directly infused the Demon Lifespan into this treasured scripture.

The True Method of the Three Teachings, truly the most precious thing in the world.

Compared to the Yulong Ancestor’s esoteric and lesser skills, possessing a treasured scripture could reduce the risks during the tribulations to an insignificant level.

The Lifespan Years Shen Yi consumed for his breakthrough to the Sixth Grade were even fewer than those needed for the Seventh Grade.

In just three tribulations, the lotus platform within him once again sprouted several new lotuses, with Jin Guang falling like rain, watering the platform, tinting the pale white petals with a light golden shimmer.

Nine Tribulations Golden Lotus!

Although the golden radiance was faint, clearly not yet at its extreme, this once again enlarged platform obviously had enough foundation to bear a fruit position.

[Sixth Grade. Nine Tribulations Golden Lotus Method: Perfection]

[Fifth Grade. Dragon and Tiger Great Scripture: Not yet entry-level]

At the same time that Shen Yi was extrapolating, the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva... maybe could now be called the Four Treasures Bodhisattva.

It had taken three rounds of Jin Guang’s collapse to finish narrating the Nine Tribulations Golden Lotus Method.

The old monk closed his eyes, with dry bloodstains at the corners, as the lotus platform suddenly began to tremble, rising into the air, with the sound of Buddha resonating, taking him into the skies.

Another round of Jin Guang collapsed.

Three Treasures Bodhisattva still had a compassionate smile on his face as he fled into the distance under hot pursuit by the imperial power, disappearing from the sight of all beings.

At this point in time, He Mountain was devoid of everyone else but Shen Yi.

Only the reverent and sincere prostrations of the commoners at the mountain’s foot remained, watching the departure of the compassionate Bodhisattva.

As for the figure hidden in the sky, it also pursued the fleeing Three Treasures Bodhisattva along with the imperial power, unnoticed by anyone, that only remaining figure on the mountain peak quietly emitted a barely discernible Buddha light.

[First tribulation, you have forsaken the making of the Dragon and Tiger Great Pill as described in the scripture, and the acquisition of the Dragon and Tiger Power required for cultivation, intending to obtain it from another source]

In the previous days and nights, Shen Yi had already read through the Dragon and Tiger Great Scripture countless times.

However, though he had quite the accomplishment in the path of Alchemy, the "Great Pill" mentioned by the Bodhi Sect seemed to be something different from what he had learned before, and one could hardly make bricks without straw; indeed, he was somewhat in a bind.

For the entry-level requirements of Dragon Essence and Tiger Essence, he planned to use Ke Shisan and An Yi as substitutes.

[Second tribulation, your side is always accompanied by the Dragon and Tiger, wandering together through the world, incorporating a bit of your own essence into the power of heaven and earth that you have comprehended]

Before opening the Dragon and Tiger Great Scripture, Shen Yi felt his Demon Lifespan was quite abundant.

He had used only nine tribulations to leap from the Eighth Grade Tao Realm directly into the Sixth Grade Mid Stage Traveler Jin Lian Realm.

But the moment he started picking fruit positions, the rapidly vanishing Demon Lifespan still made him feel a twinge of heartache.

According to Master Zhi Kong, an Arhat has seventy-two fruit positions.

To pluck this thirty-first ranked Dragon Tiger Fruit Position, one would have to go through at least eighty-one tribulations!

Lines of text floated in front of his eyes.

The seemingly simple eighty-one tribulations represented the torture of the flesh body for nearly a million years.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, as if he had turned into a statue.

Countless images flickered before his eyes, like a horse viewing the flowers, seen and heard but remembered nothing.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Eight-three tribulations]

The years of contemplation inside the Hongze and having the likes of Ke Shisan and An Yi, who didn’t require taming and wholeheartedly followed him, all added together, finally made Shen Yi a true favorite of the Bodhi Sect.

Not a minute more, not a minute less.

Exactly eighty-one tribulations.

On the lotus platform, faintly glowing with golden light, a transparent and rounded pearl quietly appeared.

Inside the amber-colored pearl, there was a Dragon and Tiger.

It wasn’t Ke Shisan and An Yi; it was something Shen Yi had created using their essence, molded in the world that belonged only to him.

This thing, born only after eighty-one tribulations, twinkled its light gently, illuminating the "stone" on the meditation cushion.

[Fifth Grade. Dragon and Tiger Great Scripture: Perfection]

Shen Yi opened his eyes, which were filled with golden light.

The fruit position was complete, Arhat appeared in the world.

...

Outside He Mountain.

Zi Yang revealed his White Dragon true form, carrying several people, not daring to pause, fleeing rapidly forward.

His target was clear, heading straight for Jianyang Prefecture.

A rain-praying envoy was an identity recognized by the Imperial Court, and only by returning there could he receive the full protection of the court.

Zi Yang knew Zi Ling’s character better than anyone else; if that woman sensed something amiss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After witnessing the fall of his father’s head, he had no more expectations for this once sister of his.

But that gourd...

The Purple-Bearded White Dragon’s eyes were faintly red as he seemed to hear his father’s wails.

It wasn’t until he felt Zi Xian gripping his mane tightly that he was jolted back to reality.

The silence enveloped Zi Yang and those he carried; only the faint sound of wailing and breathing remained.

"Why run away if you want to watch?"

Among the cliffs ahead, a figure had emerged at an unknown time; a pretty woman gently shook a small gourd with her index finger.
