Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1065 - 675: Arhat Taiyi Dual Fifth Grade

Chapter 1065: Chapter 675: Arhat Taiyi Dual Fifth Grade

The official road piled with heavy snow, the caravan of continuous wagons traveled in orderly lines.

They were advancing toward West Mountain Prefecture, a thick, putrid stench of decay assaulting the senses, bloodstains contaminating the frost-covered ground.

The cargo they were transporting was the gigantic corpses of demons, with fierce and grotesque appearances, and their deaths were so tragic they couldn’t be described, as if they had undergone some kind of purgatorial torment while they were alive.

The moment the caravan entered West Mountain Prefecture, a wave of startled exclamations erupted within the vast Prefecture City.

Although the citizens of Shen Zhou are well-informed, under the protection of the Imperial Court, it was still rare for them to see such a frightening number of demons with their own eyes.

Before long, posters were issued from the Government Office and were plastered all over the streets and alleys.

Compared to the astonishment of the ordinary citizens, the cultivators living within the Prefecture City vaguely understood some of the recent events.

The situation has been quite chaotic of late, causing unease in people’s hearts.

The Imperial Court sought to deter evil and settle people’s minds, and the use of thunderous means was essential. Therefore, this scene was not too difficult to comprehend.

But when they took notice of a rather succinct description in the posters, almost all cultivators, regardless of their level of cultivation, were stunned and speechless.

"The Bodhi Sect’s Monk Hui Zhen, self-proclaiming Fruit Position, defied the Imperial Court, colluded with demons, brought calamity upon numerous commanderies of West Mountain Prefecture, with irrefutable evidence, was executed along with them!"

Although the poster referred to him as a member of the sect, which cultivator could not see... self-proclaiming Fruit Position, isn’t that an Arhat!

That group of revered beings, who passed through lifetimes with a Golden Body and exorcised demons, could they really commit acts of collusion with evil?

What shocked the cultivators more was the Imperial Court’s firm stance when dealing with the Three Religions, something that was unimaginable in the past.

Even if it was the Bodhi Sect, even an Arhat, as long as they committed offenses within the Divine Dynasty’s domain, they would still be executed!

The Imperial Court had seriously committed to this course of action.

In a short period, the news spread out of West Mountain Prefecture, almost covering the Great Nan Continent.

"Brother Yan, what are you up to?"

In a certain mansion, surrounded by a group of Titled Generals, two people stood shoulder to shoulder.

One of them was General of Southern Defense, Yang Mingli, while the person who spoke was a woman who appeared to be in the prime of her life, dressed in a bright long dress, her appearance quite flamboyant.

But once she returned to the Imperial Court, her face no longer bore any flamboyance, instead, it exuded a daunting authority.

This woman was Feng Xi, the last General of Southern Defense in charge of the Great Nan Continent’s Demon Slayer Bureau.

She slightly frowned, clearly not quite comprehending the incidents occurring at West Mountain Prefecture, especially the Government Office’s concluding actions regarding the matter.

Hearing this, Yang Mingli’s face was somber, his voice devoid of fluctuations: "Regarding the matters of the Southern Continent, I have already reported to the Imperial Capital. Everyone should just take care of their responsibilities, and avoid asking about idle matters."

The old coot surnamed Yan, was long dissatisfied with my methods of handling things, now that he has finally branched out, he naturally wants to stretch his legs.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingli coldly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Go crazy, the time will come to reap the consequences. By then, there might be an opportunity to truly enjoy watching the regret on that old fool’s face.

"Ah, I don’t know what you two are fighting over. Whichever side has a problem, it’s still a matter for the Great Nan Continent. In the end, among the three of us, who can stand by and do nothing?" Feng Xi sighed helplessly.

"Whether or not to care is one thing, but if we don’t suppress this bast*rd’s violent tendencies, the Southern Continent will eventually be ruined in his hands!"

Yang Mingli suddenly flung his sleeves and decisively closed his eyes.

The more chaotic the situation, the more stability is needed! Only with enough stability can problems be prevented.

The old Yan can’t comprehend this principle; either he’ll die under the Three Religions’ assault, or he’ll make a grave mistake and be punished by the Imperial Court.

If the scoundrel dies, so be it, but do not let him implicate the lives of the twenty-seven prefectures!

...

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Mansion.

In the courtyard, amidst the swirling snow, a young man sat cross-legged, his expression focused and calm, as if listening to a teaching, yet there was no one around.

Since evolving to a new Boundary required an enormous amount of Demon Lifespan, which seemed never sufficient, after leaving Nanyang, compared to enhancing oneself, reconstructing a demon’s soul had become a low cost-to-benefit affair.

But there were exceptions.

For instance, a genuine Bodhi Sect Arhat.

After entering the rank above Fifth Grade, the cost-to-benefit ratio of reconstructing a Demon Soul dramatically increased due to the existence of Dao Fruit and Fruit Position.

The Lifespan Years of dozens of tribulations could result in a minion with the Tribulation Power of hundreds, and there were other gains as well.

It took Shen Yi a full thirty tribulations to condense this cloud ox into a Town Stone. Under its tutelage, the panel also changed.

[Fifth Grade. Dragon Tiger Mountain Demolishing Seal: Perfection]

As a True Skill of the Three Religions, prepared specifically for the Dragon Tiger Arhats, Shen Yi had personally experienced its power once.

Rather than being some kind of "technique", it is more like a development of the innate effect of the Dragon Tiger Golden Body; there’s hardly any need to expend much Lifespan Years in practice. As long as the underlying principles are understood, mastering it turns out to be quite easy.

The items of the Bodhi Sect are indeed excellent.

Shen Yi let out a sigh of appreciation in his heart.

Even now, he finally realized that perhaps the Dragon Tiger Arhat itself didn’t have the actual embodiment of Dragon and Tiger; it referred to the initial difficult cultivation process of borrowing the Dragon and Tiger Power to imbue the essence of heaven and earth and eventually assimilate it for personal use.

And those "unnecessary" actions of his, though sounding somewhat comical, inadvertently brought about benefits.

Ye Lan once said that the method to advance from Fifth Grade to Fourth Grade was to find a path of one’s own, and then use Tribulation Power to build upon that path.
