Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1040 - 664: Her Background is Really Deep

Chapter 1040: Chapter 664: Her Background is Really Deep

Ye Lan truly lived up to her heritage as a legitimate successor of the Three Immortals Sect, not only was her understanding of Cultivation Techniques profound, but her explanations were also concise and easy to grasp.

With the help of the panel’s deductions, Shen Yi quickly grasped the essence of these two Cultivation Techniques.

However, he did not immediately begin cultivating.

One reason was that his Demon Lifespan was insufficient. After all, the cultivation practices of the Three Immortals Sect differed from those of the walker’s path—one could not simply rely on arduous cultivation to increase one’s Cultivation; it also required a great deal of personal insight and enlightenment.

Moreover, when Shen Yi entered the True Immortal Realm, he had relied on an unorthodox method from the Jade Dragon Sect. Returning to the orthodox path was considerably more difficult.

The second reason was that Ye Lan’s Cultivation was profound enough to easily discern changes in his realm. For example, earlier at the Land Temple, she not only recognized the change but also personally adjusted it with Human Emperor Qi.

Even though their relationship had grown closer than before, the existence of the panel still could not be revealed.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Ye Lan closed the Cultivation Technique manual. After experiencing all these events, she found it difficult to understand Shen Yi’s thinking.

The Taixu Dao Fruit was certainly precious, but it was not irreplaceable.

With his abilities and talent, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to join an Immortal Sect that had one of the top ten Dao Fruits.

And it would be one with an authentic Immortal Lineage, not like her own destitute state.

"Not bad."

Shen Yi stood up and stretched his arms slightly.

It could be said that Dan Peak was the only complete tradition he had joined in his cultivation journey to date, providing a direct path to the Fifth Grade Taiyi Immortal Realm and even clear guidance towards ascending to the Fourth Grade.

How much worry and Demon Lifespan would that save?

If he were to switch places, he would have to start by joining a master’s teaching and then climb up step by step from the ground up.

On the surface, outstanding talents would certainly receive focused cultivation, but this would be accompanied by the watchful eyes and constraints of countless superior predecessors.

Being under the scrutiny of so many pairs of eyes made concealing secrets no easy task.

By comparison, Dan Peak, which only had Ye Lan left, could be said to be a treasure land tailor-made for him.

Of course, apart from these matters, there was another cause for joy.

Hongze... had finally revived.

Shen Yi gazed into the distance beyond the house.

Slaying an Immortal was an extremely serious matter, but it also depended on who did it.

If it was a Loose Cultivator like Hongze, it was undoubtedly the act of a rebel.

But if it was the Peak Master of Shenxu Mountain, protected by a Third Grade Daluo Immortal Venerable, though one wouldn’t be so brazen as to openly slay a Seventh Grade Immortal Official, if the investigation from above came down, having such a relationship would offer much more room for maneuver.

"We should head back."

Ye Lan followed suit, the time delayed by this trip had exceeded her estimates.

Knowing that after the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva’s sermon, more than half of the Southern Continent had been affected, trouble was bound to arise sooner or later, and one must not forget their own identities as members of the Demon Slayer Bureau.

In the past, it was fine with just Meng Xiuwen in charge—overseeing just Jianyang Prefecture was not a big deal—but there was fear of something unexpected happening.

At that moment, Ye Lan glanced over and noticed that Shen Yi, who had seemed a bit relaxed just now, had once again adopted an inscrutable expression identical to the one he had when he slew the two Immortal mounts outside He Mountain.

"What’s the matter?" she asked with a frown.

Shen Yi’s gaze lingered on the Bihai Sea outside of Shenxu Mountain, and in the next moment, his entire being turned into a streak of light and shot forth!

...

Amidst the vast and boundless Bihai Sea, a group of Immortal Soldiers stood with complicated expressions.

Their exquisite Immortal Armor was already shattered, clearly having just been through a fierce battle.

"Hurry up!"

With disheveled hair, You Yunshan looked utterly disheveled, his face filled with rage, as he roared at someone nearby.

Sure enough, the White Rainbow Three Demons had dominated this area for many years and had managed it as tight as an iron barrel.

Add to that General Qian Qing’s hasty actions—it was simply not enough time to call for reinforcements in just a few days.

Trouble had arisen after all!

"Who are you angry with?" Shi Yong glanced at him and said coldly, "Did I give the order?"

As a superior, once commands are given, one should naturally bear the corresponding consequences.

"You..."

You Yunshan was choked off, gritting his teeth and saying, "He was new and had only been a Horses’ Fortune officer for a short time after being a Merit Immortal. He had never led soldiers before and lacked experience. It was normal. When I asked you to speak out and advise against it, you never said this!"

"Besides, in the end, General Qian Qing still led the Great Demon away by himself, allowing us to retreat. If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t be able to stand here so leisurely now."

"..."

As the words fell, concern appeared on the faces of the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers.

This new superior was indeed rash and craving for merit, but he truly had nothing to say against his subordinates. Seeing the bad turn of events, he actually asked his men to flee first—a Immortal General allowing his men to escape before him was a rare sight within the entire Immortal Court.

Shi Yong slowly retracted his gaze and turned his thoughts to the object in his hand, "This Great Formation is inherently intricate; if anything goes wrong, our Immortal General might truly be in danger."

Hearing this, You Yunshan was left speechless. Despite his worries, he could only wait in silence.

After all, he was different from Shi Yong. Both were Seventh Grade Immortal Generals with Sixth Grade Heavenly Immortal Cultivation, but his own lineage was small and insignificant, while Shi Yong was a junior from the same lineage as General Qingluan.

Only someone from such an Immortal lineage could possess a Formation capable of rescuing General Qian Qing from a Great Demon’s clutches.

Even though You Yunshan had once seen Shi Yong set up this Formation much faster than he was doing now, making him suspect deliberate delay, he did not understand the art and could not really point out any flaw.
