Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 761 - 558

Chapter 761: 558

Of course, if he could completely unscramble the last tablet on Nameless Mountain, as it currently appears, it would likely be at least a Union Dao spiritual technique, which would truly enable him to climb to another level of strength.

For cultivators who had survived the three calamities at the Union Dao, the Late Earth Realm was already their endpoint; if they wanted to enhance their strength, they would have to devise methods from their tactics.

"I wonder when Shen Yi will come next time."

The Ban Shan Sect Leader sighed deeply. Judging from the news brought back by his disciple last time, Shen Yi was indeed a man of reciprocity, but whether the strong backing he had promised several Southern Hong Daozi would move his heart was uncertain.

"After all, involving the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, it’s also best to lay low."

Saying this, Yan Chongzhang closed his eyes, still frightened.

After all, the Dao Imperial Sect managed to get half of the Western Hong forces to do its bidding without even needing a Union Dao stage cultivator to intervene.

Speaking of strength, they could even restrain the Northern Dragon Palace with one man’s power, to call them the "chief of the orthodox path" was not an overstatement.

If we talk about status, they were almost equivalent to the Seven Sons in Southern Hong, where their words could determine so much.

Even at such a great distance, just for having killed a direct disciple of the Dao Imperial Sect, an event not even caused by himself, the leader of the Ban Shan Sect still felt undoubtedly uneasy.

The master planned to muster all the strength of the sect, seal the gates, and head to Southern Hong to support the Seven Sons, partly also to lay low.

"Wait."

Yan Chongzhang suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with astonishment.

Feeling that deliberately familiar aura given to him, he turned his head toward the direction outside the sect: "He... he has come."

What a joke, after such a short time, Daoist Shen actually dared to come back to the "scene of the crime", wasn’t he afraid of being targeted?

Upon hearing this, the face of the Ban Shan Sect Leader twitched twice, he gritted his teeth, enticed by the hidden treasures beneath Nameless Mountain, and even as a strong cultivator in the Late Earth Realm, he also made a rash decision: "Perfect timing, let’s make it quick! After this matter is settled, as your teacher, I will take you to Southern Hong to unwind amongst those dragon descendants."

Even the Sect Leader himself didn’t realize that he had now implicitly acknowledged that Nameless Mountain was private property of Shen Yi, as if it were a treasure trove wide open, where one could freely take anything as long as the other party appeared, without having to worry about not being able to retrieve it.

"Disciple understands."

Yan Chongzhang turned and flew toward the outskirts of the sect, per usual and just like the last time, he welcomed Shen Yi in via the small road and led him to the base of Nameless Mountain.

He glanced around instinctively, then began to reassess the young man in front of him.

He hadn’t realized it before, but after looking again, Yan Chongzhang was shocked for quite a while.

Still in the same dark robe, the same pale and handsome face, the other party looked almost the same as before they had parted, except for the absence of that little girl at his side.

But for some reason, Yan Chongzhang felt something different; the changes in Daoist Shen were not superficial, but seemed to be of a different quality.

"Daoist Shen, you... have you broken through?"

"I’ve been lucky."

Shen Yi nodded, not denying it.

The Ban Shan Sect now clearly showed a tendency to draw closer to the Seven Sons, and having witnessed him killing Pan Boyang, he was considered somewhat one of their own.

The same four words, Yan Chongzhang had just heard from his master.

He managed a strained smile and halted the topic, not daring to ask further, only bowing politely: "Congratulations, congratulations."

From the two previous reunions with Daoist Shen, the "luck" mentioned by the other party was probably much more frightening than what his master had described.

With his Dao heart still unsteady, he better save his questions, lest he troubles himself unnecessarily.

"Daoist Shen... help yourself."

Yan Chongzhang glanced at the low mountain, his heart aching somewhat as he spoke these words.

"Thanks."

Shen Yi didn’t stand on ceremony, with An Yi looking after everything in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, his current strength was enough to deal with most troubles.

He sat cross-legged, skillfully immersing his divine soul into Nameless Mountain.

The next moment, that majestic and splendid treasure mountain revealed its true form again, a stifling pressure that could suffocate, yet on Shen Yi, it felt like a warm bath, merging with the True Intent of Shen Yue within him, making it extraordinarily comforting.

He stepped forward, unhurried, entering the mountain.

Following the familiar path upwards, he passed the Shen Yue Stele, and then crossed the Zhen Yue Stele too.

Shen Yi was prepared to endure that vast pressure once again, but to his surprise, he found that the last stretch of the path up the mountain was exactly the same as before.

Doubtfully, he went higher up until he reached the mountaintop.

Compared to the grandeur of the entire mountain, the summit seemed a bit cramped, the bare cliff edge didn’t have the third stele Shen Yi had imagined.

"..."

Shen Yi frowned slightly, what did this mean, playing coy?

Because it couldn’t challenge him, it simply wouldn’t pose questions anymore?

He slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, peered down below, the deep abyss like a devouring chasm, still inscrutable.

Shen Yi pondered for a moment then looked at the panel.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 1,920,000 years]

After the demon broke through to Union Dao, its lifespan nearly doubled, soaring from the average of over 300,000 years in White Jade Capital to more than 500,000 years.

Especially for newly ascended beings like the Deer Demon and the Bat Demon, they were indeed the best contributors to demon lifespan.

Four Harmonization Demons along with over a dozen White Jade Capital Frost Tigers, allowed Shen Yi to feel full for once.

With so many demon lifespan years in support,

Shen Yi was in no hurry; he simply sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff and took his time.

Just then, he glanced unintentionally at the sky above, and his entire body suddenly tensed, even his pupils constricted slightly.
