Chapter 1145: Chapter 706: Hundred Elixirs, Ten Thousand Calamities, Shenxu Awakens

Jianyang Prefecture Mansion.

Shen Yi had just returned to the courtyard, listening to Wushan’s incessant talk about the matter of Lord Yang’s visit to confront him.

"It’s absurd, they have no evidence at all, yet they assume that the nine prefectures in the west are concealing a demon disaster and not reporting it, and you even sympathize with them... By the way, how are things over there?"

This stocky and hefty man spat and suddenly asked curiously, "A demon disaster significant enough for you to personally attend must be no small matter."

"It’s already resolved."

Shen Yi stretched his arms and briefly replied.

On his way back, he had already transformed the corpses of those demons into Town Stones and dispatched them to all twenty-seven factions across the Great Nan Continent.

Perhaps the days of wandering in remote areas had been too leisurely, with fewer killings, resulting in nearly sixty percent of these Demon Immortals living past half of their expected lifespan, with few young among them. This led to almost all of the newly earned Demon Lifespan being spent, leaving only over four hundred Tribulations.

However, Shen Yi did not feel the usual pinch of loss, his face even bore a rare look of ease.

After all, to "hold multiple positions" without being exposed, one absolutely cannot be confined to one place.

Only if the Great Nan Continent remains untroubled can Shen Yi have the leeway to maneuver amongst the Three Religions.

One should know, compared to the Divine Dynasty, once Shenxu Ancestor and the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva detect something amiss, they would truly seek to take his life.

As for the lack of his own cultivation level... naturally, someone will fill it.

Shen Yi gently twisted his fingers, his thoughts warming up.

He had last resolved the matter of the Demon Suppressing Tower, where the strong ones were mere Fifth Grade Demons, yielding five hundred Tribulations of Emperor’s Aura Golden Pills.

So, what was the value of this recent demon disaster?

Even if calculating at the lowest rate, isn’t exchanging one Fourth Grade Demon Immortal for one thousand Tribulations reasonable?

Shen Yi was not worried that the Demon Slayer Bureau would make mistakes with the rewards, not because he trusts the Divine Dynasty, but mainly because the Great Nan Continent urgently needs a cornerstone to uphold the scene, hence, the bestowed Emperor’s Aura will only be more, never less.

Moreover, under the constant evolution of the Taixu Golden Pill, his proficiency in Alchemy Skill was also steadily improving. Now, using alchemy to process the Emperor’s Aura, the loss would not exceed ten percent.

Thinking it over, Shen Yi pushed the door and returned to the house.

Taking this hard-earned opportunity to make some minor adjustments.

He had a premonition that for a long time to come, he probably would not have such idle days without affairs to handle.

Previously in Songfeng Prefecture, Shen Yi had noticed that woman dressed in blue and white.

Her cultivation was exceptional, and the aura she exuded while hovering was even no weaker than his own Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Fruit Position, even if not reaching Three Thousand Tribulations, it was certainly very close.

A disciple from the Immortal Sect stronger than Qingluan had already entered the Divine Dynasty, beginning what was so-called a "world-saving" endeavor.

This wasn’t an exception but a sign.

That group of devotees from the Three Religions had finally descended from the mountains into the mortal world, truly starting the beginning of this chaotic era.

Everyone needed to amass prestige, which also means there needs to be a sufficient number of demon disasters for them to save.

Shen Yi had initially worried about nurturing foes that could turn self-reliant, which now has turned into an undisguised reality.

He did not think too poorly of himself.

It was hard to find any opponents within the Fourth Grade Realm.

However, for the first disciples of the Immortal Sect, especially the foremost among them, even if they were also Fourth Grade like those Demon Immortals from Songfeng Prefecture, they certainly were not the same kind of existence.

Whether it was the Magic Treasures bestowed by the Three Immortals Sect or the Divine Skills given to disciples by the Bodhi Sect, much like the Four-Armed restraint used by the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva on him, these could make them stand out among the same realm.

To put it bluntly, if the attack on Songfeng Prefecture was by eight disciples similar to the woman in blue and white, Shen Yi felt he had not even a ten percent chance of winning.

Moreover... within those Great Sects, there were still the existence of Daluo Immortal Venerables and Bodhisattvas.

Shen Yi found that so far, the Third Grade experts from those Great Sects seemed to have no intention of taking action, with the most extreme case being the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva who had preached at He Mountain.

But even that Bodhisattva, from beginning to end, only wanted to finish preaching the True Scriptures and had no real intention of fighting with the Divine Dynasty.

Though that’s also normal.

Entering this mortal chaos, although the gains are immense, it’s about staking one’s life.

At their level, regardless of the final outcome, they all are entities who share the spoils, with the only difference being more or less. There truly was no need to take this risk.

Probably both the three Generals of Southern Defense included in the Demon Slayer Bureau and the Divine Dynasty considered this.

Shen Yi had a different view.

Because of the mark of Tribulation Power and Four-Armed Divine Skill, he ultimately only one among him, Shenxu Ancestor, and Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva could survive.

If he won, it meant a Third Grade expert in the Great Sect has fallen.

Once someone dies, the situation changes.

"How exactly should I ascend?"

Shen Yi returned to the bedside, quietly leaned against the wall, and once more reviewed his Grade Dao Fruit and Fruit Position.

Clearly standing at the peak of Fourth Grade, yet still sees a hopeless path ahead; this feeling was indeed somewhat uncomfortable.

...

In the courtyard.

With the help of the Immortal Pill, Wushan’s injuries had mostly healed.

He appeared to be brimming with vitality.

He glanced at the worried Ye Lan and reassured with a smile: "Don’t worry, looking at how our General Nanyang is, and how quickly he returned, it probably isn’t anything major, nor is it likely he sustained injuries and is hiding it from us; most likely, he’s just resting in his room."
