Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1176 - 719: Gratitude Must Be Repaid, Vengeance Must Be Avenged

Chapter 1176: Chapter 719: Gratitude Must Be Repaid, Vengeance Must Be Avenged

Shen Yi did not nod in acknowledgment but neither did he deny it, merely standing quietly in place.

The death of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva was immensely significant.

Shen Yi did not trust others, but towards the old general who once risked his life to protect him under the Bodhisattva’s command, he had no intention of hiding anything, making it easier for General Yan to prepare in advance.

The current Great Nan Continent seemed stable, but that was due to the protection of many town stones.

But do not forget, the highest boundary among these town stones is merely a wolf demon who has obtained the Great Fruit Position.

If a Third Grade expert enters, the town stones in front of them would be no different from ordinary rocks.

"Huh..."

Yan Lanting struggled to steady his breathing, evidently foreseeing the consequences this event could provoke.

His expression gradually became solemn: "We must be extremely careful! The true Three Religions are not as simple as you think."

The opponent who can slay the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva is already more powerful than us few old-timers.

But if the Three Religions truly ignite their wrath, above the Bodhisattvas, there’s still the Great Freedom ones, not to mention the True Buddhas who sit high on lotus platforms, clad in kasaya.

"Understood."

Shen Yi nodded earnestly. Back then, when an Arhat perished, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva came to seek justice. Now, with the fall of a Bodhisattva, it’s akin to a sect of the Three Immortals Sect being destroyed. Such a major event cannot be concealed.

"Uh."

Wushan had no idea why the atmosphere suddenly turned this way.

However, he also didn’t have the habit of speaking unnecessarily.

He looked over with concern a few times, then planned to leave with Mr. Yan.

At this moment, Shen Yi suddenly called out to him.

"I don’t seem to have seen Ye Lan?"

"..."

Wushan’s steps faltered slightly, hesitating for a long time before saying: "Before the transmission of the scriptures, she received a message from her sect and returned to Shenxu Mountain... She hasn’t come back since."

The identity of an Immortal Sect disciple is a convenient one in the Demon Slayer Bureau, allowing them to receive more imperial aura rewards compared to their peers.

But at the same time, it’s also a significant risk.

After all, if the Immortal Sect catches them, their fate might be worse than death.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s face showed no sign of emotion; he simply responded softly, "Alright."

After saying that, he took the black dog and returned to the mansion.

Yan Lanting watched the young man walk away helplessly, unable to stop himself from sighing inwardly.

You know, you know nothing!

Don’t be fooled by his normal expression; back when we first met, before Shen Yi acted against that Ape Demon from the Jade Pond Immortal Sect, there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face.

Seeing this posture, it would be strange if nothing went wrong.

Just as he was about to turn back and dissuade, Yan Lanting took one step forward and then stopped, his expression becoming increasingly complex.

If it weren’t for such a vengeful and appreciative nature, this General Nanyang probably wouldn’t have stayed in the Divine Dynasty.

...

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Mansion.

Inside the house.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, with the black dog lying beside him.

"Officer Shen, did something happen to General Yan Lan?"

Master Zhi Kong had met Ye Lan before and was long familiar with her reputation, but now he advised, "The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva has just fallen, and the Bodhi Sect will certainly pursue the matter thoroughly. You carry a similar aura as him and were personally introduced into the sect by him as the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King. They will certainly start by investigating you first..."

"It would be too risky to leave the Divine Dynasty now."

Had someone else said this, it might be misunderstood; after all, he was saved by Shen Yi and now, having gained freedom, wasn’t allowing him to save others, perhaps appearing a bit selfish.

But Master Zhi Kong was different; after all, he was the true benevolent person who, when strangled by the Bodhisattva and passing through Jianyang Prefecture, clearly saw Shen Yi and did not reveal a word.

This statement could only be made by him.

"Master, rest assured, I have a plan."

Shen Yi took out the broken fruit position of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva from his storage ring and gently caressed the verdant finger ring.

The journey from the Nanyang Treasure Land had taught him that the most important growth was to maintain calm in all situations.

In fact, some things would become clear with careful consideration.

Ye Lan herself holds no significant value to the Shenxu Ancestor. If something happened to her, the only possibility would be that... the Shenxu Ancestor suddenly awoke and learned of the Taixu Pill Emperor’s performance in the scripture transmission incident.

Discovering this "Immortal Pill" granted by the heavens gradually becoming uncontrollable.

Hence, they would capture Ye Lan, adding another shackle.

She must be alive to serve her purpose.

If so, there is no need to rush.

The Shenxu Ancestor differs from the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, the latter coming from a Walkers’ background, could only confront him directly. Coupled with hidden injuries, he was easily slain.

But the mystique of the Shenxu Dao Fruit, with which Shen Yi was personally acquainted.

The cultivators’ magic battles are not like those of the walkers, much more complex, and given his limited understanding of gods, Buddhas, and Immortals, lacking proper means, could easily turn the tables and be in a passive position.

Let alone defeating stronger foes with weaker strength, there might even be a chance of being toyed to death by a cultivator whose foundation was weaker than his own.

Not to mention, Shenxu Mountain’s cultivation of a hundred arts, Eight Peaks Techniques, in the current phase, he had only reached the level of the Dan word.

Do every enhancement well, and grasp all winning opportunities.

The one who should be anxious now is the Shenxu Ancestor.

Thinking, Shen Yi collected his thoughts, opened the panel, held the broken fruit position, and infused the demon lifespan into the Spiritual Power Protection Scripture.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 430 Kalpas]

The demon lifespan previously left has long been without major fluctuations.

There were seldom any more Great Demons invading from the Great Nan Continent, with occasional scouts and spies mostly being around Seventh Grade in realm—Fifth Grade was rare.

Regarding the Eight Extremes Valley, according to Qinghua, they are preparing for some big move, hence the delay without any progress.

With only expenses and no income, relying solely on reserves, naturally, it leads to some concerns.

Luckily, if untouched by the Origin of the Heavenly Dao Order, hundreds of Kalpas’ demon lifespan is sufficient for him for quite some time.

"Master, please tell me about the matters of the sect."

There indeed were insights left by the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva in the broken fruit position, but extremely fragmented; one would typically need focused meditation and contemplation to comprehend even a single complete method.

Yet, with the assistance of vast demon lifespan, Shen Yi could significantly shorten this process, even finding time to learn about other matters.

As the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King, he still didn’t know which direction the temple gate faced.

His knowledge of the Bodhi Sect was even less than Master Zhi Kong, this Sixth Grade Golden Lotus Walker.

Perhaps because it happened frequently, people got used to it. Now "betraying" the Bodhi Sect, even without psychological burden, from the sect’s rules to the entire organizational structure of the Bodhi Sect, whatever is known, nothing held back.

"The Bodhi Sect spans the Four Continents and Eight Seas, with the North Continent being the Three Immortals Sect Leader’s place of discourse; Buddhist scriptures are not easily entered."

"Therefore, the Three Hierarchs of the Bodhi Sect each preside over the remaining three major continents."

"The one preaching in the Great Nan Continent is the Future Buddha."

Even now, under the circumstances, when mentioning this title, Zhi Kong still slightly raised his head.

"About the other Buddhas, this humble monk doesn’t know much."

He’s merely a walker, not able to touch those things: "But True Buddhas reside in the Southern Sumeru, rarely revealing their Buddha forms in the mortal realm, leaving mundane affairs to that Great Freedom Bodhisattva."

"Great Freedom Bodhisattva, at the peak of Ninety-nine Changes?" Shen Yi glanced aside, knowing only from the message received from General Feng Xi about the Path of the Traveler.

"The Great Freedom Bodhisattva isn’t a person’s name but a realm... In the sect, it’s referred to as Second Rank, equivalent to the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Three Immortals Sect."

Monk Zhi Kong had long been accustomed to Officer Shen’s knowledge not matching his actual power.

"The so-called Great Freedom is to transcend the Five Elements and Three Realms, surpass life and death, from hence, immortal."

"..."

Listening to this description, Shen Yi inexplicably found it somewhat familiar.

This is essentially cultivating oneself into a True God.

"The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva used to heed his senior brother, the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva." Typically, things like this wouldn’t be within reach of a walker like Monk Zhi Kong.

Fortunately, it was because the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva always kept him by his side that he came into contact with things previously untouchable.

"Just say about this."

Shen Yi finally heard the piece of news most useful for him now.

Who says garrisoning the Divine Dynasty must be confined within the Four Great Continents, a dignified Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King, why shouldn’t he sit on the Lotus Platform?
