Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 746: Chapter 552: Immortal Law Fragment, Five Halls Gather Together_3

There was discussion about how he lost to Xuan Qing, and some were puzzled as to why the legitimate eldest son of the Yue Family would lower himself to beg everywhere.

"..."

The face of Yue Tianji, hanging down, once again turned blood-red.

The palms he was clasping tightened further, almost to the point of crushing his knuckles.

But soon, his eyes hardened again.

If he wanted to break Xuan Qing’s Myriad Laws, he had to learn them too, and not just by intimidating others with the Yue Family’s reputation to snatch those useless things, but to truly learn the secret teachings of the major Immortal Sects!

In the end, perhaps still out of concern for the Yue Family’s reputation,

a breath finally wafted within the Immortal Sect, welcoming Yue Tianji in.

...

As Shen Yi accelerated the feeding of the Demon Lifespan, the scenes changed faster and faster until even his keen vision could barely keep up.

Among them, Yue Tianji, in exchange for the secret teachings, led the demons of the Yue Family to annihilate sects for that power; when he couldn’t exchange anything valuable, he resorted to a mass slaughter, taking what he wanted by force.

As the number of offended powers increased, so did the times he was ambushed.

More challenging than these dangers was how to learn the Myriad Laws with a demon body.

"Outrageous."

When he saw Yue Tianji extracting all the Monster Blood from his body and using Magic Treasures to nurture Spirit Breath,

Shen Yi finally couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

All these things before him were the sufferings in Yue Tianji’s heart; the great calamity of Yan Kang had replicated them all, forcing him to experience them again.

But so far, he had encountered no obstacles and had forcefully blazed a trail through it all.

It’s not to say, the thought processes of this demon might be somewhat odd, but his willpower was indeed impressive.

It was not until the scenes before Shen Yi began to repeat for the first time.

Yue Tianji returned to the mountain top, sending out invitations far and wide, the most important of which went to Southern Hong.

Yet, despite his esteemed status, not a single person attended the banquet.

The desolate summit had only a few elders of the Yue Family come over, who resignedly patted his shoulder, "Have you had enough? It’s over, the Immortals have avenged you, come home."

Yue Tianji was silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, and abruptly pushed the people in front of him away.

He stared fixedly ahead, where a tall figure stood with hands behind his back.

Without hesitation, Yue Tianji launched a Jade Dragon, which roared as it passed right through Xuan Qing’s figure, doing no damage but just moving straight on through it.

"Huh."

Shen Yi softly exhaled.

Given the time, Xuan Qing, of course, couldn’t possibly be here now.

So here lay Yue Tianji’s Suffering Calamity.

To place what you most desire in front of you, yet be unable to obtain it no matter what, they call it an unfulfilled craving.

The deepest sorrow in the world comes not from not having a chance to start over but from being unable to forget despite it.

As expected, as Yue Tianji’s breathing grew more ragged and his gaze at Xuan Qing more and more vacant, he did not make a second move. Instead, his body suddenly stooped and lay back on the ground, and the entire scene violently shattered.

Even if the great calamity of Yan Kang took him through the same path as before, he still retained his current consciousness and had long understood that he couldn’t get back what he had lost.

Xuan Qing, even if dead, died at the hands of an Immortal, which could never be considered a disgrace.

The entire scene began to repeat.

Yue Tianji knelt on the ground again, then was forced to lift his head once more.

"..."

Shen Yi looked towards the heavens with a certain resignation.

What kind of cruel humor does this world posses, wasting his Demon Lifespan here?

Even if it repeated a hundred times, could Yue Tianji ever come out of it?

Considering this, Shen Yi suddenly had an idea.

Ultimately, the whole thing was about a proud man whose Dao Heart was shattered by others, striving to reconstruct it, only for that person to completely lose himself in the effort, creating an intractable knot.

But, breaking one’s Dao Heart...

He had quite the experience in that too.

Shen Yi lifted his eyes, attempting to gently infuse his Divine Soul into the vast expanse of Yan Kang.

Just then, that stretch of heaven and earth reacted violently, the winds and clouds furiously swirling, trying to push Shen Yi’s Divine Soul out!

"Tsk."

Shen Yi’s face showed displeasure, thinking to himself that he didn’t even intend to help Yue Tianji transcend the tribulation but a reminder was also not allowed?

Such pettiness in the vastness of heaven and earth.

Suu suu——

Above the five Immortal Cities, a sudden black wind arose, and the originally splendid cities suddenly turned gloomy.

The names on the city plaques gradually rippled like flowing water, transforming into sinister-looking characters.

Ten Thousand Demon Hall!

The black wind seemed to obscure the awareness of heaven and earth, causing the wind and clouds to swiftly subside.

Inside the great city of Yan Kang.

Yue Tianji suddenly realized he could move again. He paused for a moment, then fiercely leapt up. The myriad laws he had cultivated for many years whooshed out, intending to stuff the words back into Xuan Qing’s stomach before he could speak!

This time, the splendid arts finally did not just pass through the illusions but forcefully collided with a solid object.

Yue Tianji stared blankly as the Jade Dragon shattered, the red flames extinguished, and the sword in his hand crumbled inch by inch.

Yet, there was not a single mark on the profound armor of the man.

The young man slowly turned around, his pale and handsome face showed neither joy nor anger. He calmly glanced at Yue Tianji and reached out to pat the non-existent dust off his arm armor.

He asked with a hint of confusion, "Is this your Myriad Laws?"

"Heh!"

Yue Tianji’s throat moved, only feeling a sweet taste on his tongue. Although the surrounding cultivators were utterly silent, it seemed as though he could hear mocking laughter.

He walked forward, stepping up, and gently touched the young man’s profound armor.

Closing his eyes, he felt the genuine chill.

Yue Tianji cracked a smile, his once pearly teeth now stained crimson, his voice hoarsely low and raspy, "Don’t you die... you must not die... wait for me..."

When he opened his eyes, everything around him had vanished.

A dense Jin Guang gathered, turning into a black cloud that swept out of the large city of Yan Kang, carrying a rich breath of disaster, transforming the entire top layer of the Dharma Storage Tower into a sinister and terrifying Demon Realm!

The fifth Dao Soldier appeared!

Yue Tianji shook his head vigorously. Without the influence of the Suffering Calamity, he suddenly became much clearer in mind.

He walked out of Yan Kang, silently staring at the young man in the dark robe, and suddenly couldn’t help slapping himself!

Damn it! He was tricked!

He thought he finally had a hope for revenge, but he was completely blind; that profound armor youth was none other than his master, who could snuff him out with just a thought. Revenge, what a fool’s revenge!

[Hall Master: Disaster Qilin Yue Tianji]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 1,820,000 Years]

Shen Yi felt quite pleased as he watched the Demon Lifespan on the panel. His attempts were indeed effective. This time the Suffering Calamity had only consumed about a hundred thousand years, far less than expected.

In his joy, Shen Yi also inferred something from watching the Suffering Calamity, but it was probably better not to mention it to Senior Xuan Qing just yet.

According to normal logic, after experiencing the previous four calamities, one would subconsciously think that each subsequent calamity is harder to transcend than the last.

It’s hard to imagine something more terrifying than the death calamity.

But Shen Yi suddenly felt that the first four calamities were the true challenges. As for the last calamity, it seemed merely a routine check to see if the cultivator still had any lingering attachements.

Like Yue Tianji, because he bore suffering in his heart, there were so many trials and tribulations. The things in the illusionary realm were his past experiences, not fabricated by the Yan Kang calamity.

But if there were truly no suffering in one’s heart, wouldn’t that prove that the Dao Heart is already clear and pure, without so many hurdles to overcome?

To Shen Yi, it felt like... not suffering? If you think it’s so easy, then come on up.

Senior Xuan Qing, feeling that he was missing some experiences and lacking certain hardships, wanted to compensate. But possibly, the only thing he lacked for reaching the Cultivation of the Five Cities was the action of pushing open that door.

Unfortunately, bad luck struck, and after he really started to suffer, the Nanyang Sect was gone, along with his spirit.

"..."

Shen Yi refocused his mind, slightly turned his head, and nodded gently at the hall master, his lips curling up mildly in comfort, "Don’t think too much, come on, relax."

"Uh?"

Yue Tianji, seeing the barely discernible smile on his master’s face, didn’t know why, but a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his crown, making him somewhat stiff.

He had a bad feeling about this.

However, the next moment, Shen Yi beckoned slightly, pulling him into the panel.

Always having Ke Shisan from the East Hall doing everything, efficiency was inevitably a bit low. Finally having someone clever at hand, it was tempting not to give it a try.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, his Divine Soul moving into the Treasure Bead in the sea of knowledge.

This was a special provision by Sect Master Qin for Senior Xuan Qing... including the methods of Union Dao.
