Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 1039: Chapter 663: Shenxu Peak Master_2

"Great Uncle..."

Liu Ruifeng suddenly became anxious, crawling towards the front in a panic. Were his filial piety and years of hard work completely overshadowed by a mere difference of two tribulations?!

Does this old immortal have no conscience at all?

The elderly man seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.

At this moment, a soft call came from behind him.

"Great Uncle."

The only person among the Peak Masters who would use this address was Ye Lan, besides himself.

...

The old man’s steps slowed down as he furrowed his eyebrows.

He really didn’t say anything, but the meaning of "let it go" was that the other Peaks would no longer manage the affairs of Dan Peak.

With a Peak Master already in place and no problems with alchemy, naturally, there’s no need for others to interfere.

What more does this girl want to do?

Could it be that she actually wants to humiliate her uncle and junior brother in front of all the younger generations of the Eight Peaks, and even her own great uncle?

"What else is there?"

The old man slowly turned around, his expression calm as he looked over.

Several Peak Masters looked towards Ye Lan with slight panic in their eyes, all sensing the displeasure of the Great Elder Brother. Lan’er should just take the hint.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi finally glanced over.

The matter he promised to handle was now complete, and it was time to settle accounts.

But unexpectedly, Ye Lan looked back at him, her moist eyes filled with an indescribable flavor.

She pondered for a moment, a bright smile appearing on her lips.

Ye Lan pulled back her gaze, and while the surrounding disciples had not yet dispersed, she stood up straight and then cupped her hands: "Dan Peak is in decline, with only two disciples remaining. Today, Ye Lan wishes to pass down the Taixu Daoist Technique to help Junior Brother Shen attain the Dao Fruit."

With those words falling,

The Peak Masters finally breathed a sigh of relief, only Liu Ruifeng’s face showed despair. Ye Lan was not giving him any way out; this lad would receive the Taixu Dao Fruit, effectively confirming the position of the successor... Then what was the meaning of all the years he had spent in arduous cultivation in the Array Peak?

"Our own matters do not require the intervention of the other Peaks."

The old man nodded slightly. Such a master of the Alchemy Dao, whose future achievements could even match the former disciple of Dan Peak, surely sought something by coming to Shenxu Mountain.

He came for the Taixu Dao Fruit.

This would not displease the disciples of Shenxu Mountain. On the contrary, being able to leave behind a rough jade through this Dao Fruit would put their minds at ease even more.

"Besides," Ye Lan still kept her hands cupped, raising her head to sweep her gaze over all her peers, suddenly self-mockingly smiled: "I know all of you think I am unworthy of this position as Peak Master, and indeed it is true. Today, I will resign from this position and pass both it and the Taixu Daoist Technique to Junior Brother Shen."

Having said that, she finally lowered her hands and, without waiting for anyone’s response, strode away from the peak.

...

This time, even the old man was slightly stunned, let alone everyone else.

They stared in the direction where Ye Lan had departed.

"This girl." Jin Xue the Taoist sighed softly. Shenxu Mountain had treated her in such a way; naturally, she had some grievances in her heart, but despite this, she still sought a suitable successor for the Mountain Gate while wandering alone outside.

Especially when contrasted with Ruifeng, this successor seemed even more precious.

Leaving so freely, it was clear she had never taken those fame and benefits to heart.

After a brief silence in the field.

The next moment, nearly all gazes converged like a tide towards that tall figure on the peak.

...

Shen Yi stood silently, suddenly feeling a bit of a headache.

...

Dan Peak, a small courtyard.

The affair of alchemy had its twists and turns, but thankfully, it came to an end.

While pouring tea, Ye Jing stole glances at the young man sitting at the table.

She felt a sense of deja vu looking at the scene before her.

Within just a few days of joining the Demon Slayer Bureau, he had been promoted to Demon Slayer Officer. After a visit to Shenxu Mountain, he had become half a Peak Master.

The reason for being only half was that this matter had been decided by his sister, but Brother Shen had not yet truly attained the Taixu Dao Fruit.

These events, if they happened to anyone else, would be quite bizarre, but they seemed normal for Shen Yi.

"I apologize, this was decided by me on my own."

Ye Lan sipped her tea and lifted her head: "But the purpose of your trip was to seek a title, so why not take this opportunity to secure one that’s a bit more reliable?"

Being a Peak Master of Shenxu Mountain, this title, whether in the heavens or the Mortal Realm, is enough to deter the majority of the villains.

Anyone who wishes to harm them couldn’t avoid considering the presence of that Third-Grade Daluo Immortal Venerable.

"Thank you."

Shen Yi was clearly aware of the other’s good intentions, but what he was worried about... was that catastrophe.

As an outsider, to come and leave with the title of Disciple is one thing, but becoming the Peak Master of Dan Peak is a totally different concept.

If the troubles of the past resurface, wouldn’t he become the target?

"You..."

Ye Lan apparently saw through his thoughts, a trace of helplessness emerged on her delicate face: "Sometimes, you seem quite meddlesome, and other times, you come across as overly cautious and slick, it really is baffling."

"It mainly depends on whether the benefits outweigh the risks."

Shen Yi was fairly honest in certain matters; indeed, he did not take action for Ye Lan’s sake, but only for the certain grasp of seizing that Dao Fruit.

"Don’t worry, that disaster doesn’t concern you for now. By the time it truly does, you probably won’t need this title to cover anything up; you can simply leave then."

Ye Lan mentioned this, her gaze subconsciously drifting towards Shenxu Mountain, surrounded by the Eight Peaks.

Shen Yi caught her look and sighed inwardly, confirming his suspicions weren’t much different from reality, then briskly moved past the subject.

This enmity was not something he could get involved in.

"The item." He reached out his hand straightforwardly.

Ye Lan quickly withdrew her gaze and handed over a bundle wrapped in cloth containing a Cultivation Technique.

She watched silently as the youth before her flipped through the Taixu Daoist Technique, her eyes gradually becoming distant.

Ever since her mentor left, it had been a very long time since she had felt this cared for; as if she didn’t have to worry about anything herself, just by following behind him, all could be accomplished.

"Hiss!"

Ye Lan bit the tip of her finger forcefully, dragging her mind back from this shocking sentiment.

Besides the identity of a Shenxu Mountain Disciple, she was also a Titled General of the Divine Dynasty’s Demon Slayer Bureau. If she were to rely on others, it’s feared she wouldn’t even know how she died.

"Explain this to me."

Shen Yi lifted his head, returning the two Cultivation Techniques.

[Sixth Grade: Carefree Life Creation Manual: Not yet entry-level]

[Fifth Grade: Taixu Daoist Technique: Not yet entry-level]

Ye Lan knew he was only of Seventh Grade True Immortal Cultivation, practicing a peripheral and unorthodox method. Hence, she had specifically prepared the orthodox Heavenly Immortal Skill inherited through the lineage of Shenxu Mountain, not inferior to the Bodhi Sect’s walker’s method.

Only with the Dao that stretches till the Twelve Tribulations can one accommodate the Taixu Dao Fruit, which ranks within the top ten.

"Hm?"

Ye Lan lifted her head, somewhat astonished by the two Cultivation Techniques before her.

In her mind, Shen Yi was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime cultivation genius, his progress merely slowed due to his origins. She didn’t expect that with his insight, he’d still need her help.

...

Ye Jing tiptoed out of the room, quietly closing the door behind them.

Just like that, three days went by in a flash.

The two had not taken a single step out of the house, while the Formation within the small courtyard concealed the sound of sister teaching the Dao.

Within this Dao instruction, apart from the comprehension of Cultivation Techniques, what was more important was that Shen Yi finally filled in the missing knowledge.

"The Dao Fruit and Fruit Position are both distinguished by the number of tribulations, like the Dragon Tiger, carrying eighty-one tribulations, while the Taixu Dao Fruit requires one hundred ninety-three tribulations."

"From the number of tribulations, one can glean the differences between the Divine Skills."

"But it’s not to say that the one cultivating the Taixu Dao Fruit will certainly triumph over the Dragon Tiger Arhat, beyond the mutual constraints between Divine Skills, on the path to the Fourth Grade, one can also bear more Tribulation Power."

"The Thousand Tribulations Dao Fruit is the threshold for the Fourth Grade."

"But it’s not to say that as long as one has enough Tribulation Power, the way would be unobstructed."

"The Dao is the path, and Tribulation Power is the bricks; one can lay a glorious road, but without finding your own path, bricks are useless."

"In these years, doing things in the... Mortal Realm, I’ve finally applied over six hundred tribulations, but I’ve found myself lost, unable to find the true path. Even with Tribulation Power in hand, I am unable to bear more."

...

Shen Yi listened silently, yet his mind never ceased in its calculations.

To think, the Dragon Tiger Fruit Position to him was like a bottomless pit, but up until now, he’s consumed only a little over one hundred and sixty tribulations. That’s even less than the required expenditure to pluck the Taixu Dao Fruit.

How many demons would it take to fill that gap?
