Chapter 962: Chapter 632: What am I? I am your Immortal Official Grandpa Shen!_2

"Since the seal has already been retrieved... there is no point in talking about misunderstandings."

Shen Yi wasn’t like Shi Ren, who only used the large seal to smash people.

His fingers clenched slightly, and the Four Hong Immortal Power swiftly surged into his body, causing a warm white glow to emerge between his skin, making him seem sculpted out of jade. His flowing garments fluttered as he ascended to the True Immortal Realm.

"Hey!"

As he sensed this transformation, the Rat Demon pulled a Mixed Iron Rod from the void, positioning it in front of itself. Its figure exploded with movement, retreating towards the high platform!

At the same time, Shen Yi’s mind gave a slight jolt.

In the instant the Four Hong Immortal Power infused his body, he suddenly felt something stir inside him.

That Treasure Mountain he had acquired from the Ban Shan Sect had been silent until now, but under the nourishment of immortal power, it unexpectedly emitted dazzling light.

Shen Yue... Suppresses the Azure Sky.

Shen Yi’s gaze shifted forward, and everything in the temple froze in time, including the flickering flames and the Rat Demon leaping into the air.

This monk-robed rat, with its fierce features, appeared to be mired in a quagmire, clasping the Mixed Iron Rod tightly, yet unable to swing it in the slightest.

Outside the temple, the low growling persisted.

Another blow caused the great temple to tremble, landing on the back of the Rat Demon. With the suppression of Shenyue Zhenqingtian, it was caught completely off guard, suffering the full impact of the strike and spitting out a mouthful of blood plasma.

What terrified it even more was that even the blood it spewed remained suspended in mid-air.

Inside the temple, the movements of the jet-clad youth were unaffected. He strolled forward, through the airborne blood plasma, and then grasped the Rat Demon by the neck with one hand.

Boom!

In an instant, the Rat Demon was thrown to the ground like a rag doll!

It summoned Golden Light Protection, obviously a legitimate Path of the Traveler technique, yet pale in comparison to Monk Zhi Kong’s.

Shen Yi’s fist tightened, and he furiously smashed it into the Rat Demon’s face!

His fist, adorned with jade light, cut cleanly through the gossamer-thin golden light protection, shattering its cheekbones.

Blood droplets splashed onto the jade-like skin, adding a touch of ruthlessness to the immortal-like young man.

"You’re pushing it too far!"

Finally, the Rat Demon managed to struggle free of the Shenyue restraint and raised its rod to strike.

However, the entire temple was under Shen Yi’s control. He grabbed the Mixed Iron Rod with a reverse grip, yanked it fiercely, and the rod fell into his hands.

Bang—

With a fierce step, his boots landed squarely on the Rat Demon’s chest, pinning it firmly to the ground. Shen Yi, expressionless, raised the long rod. Four Hong Immortal Power surged into it, and in an instant, the rod, filled with overwhelming force, mercilessly struck the Rat Demon.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The dull sounds of breaking bones echoed continuously through the hall.

Shen Yi relentlessly smashed down the rod, his hem soaked with blood plasma that even splattered onto his face.

The Rat Demon went from muffled groans at first to a twisted head later, gradually losing the breath of life, its body, along with the monk robe, disintegrated into a mush, no longer recognizable as a humanoid.

Clang.

Shen Yi finally tossed aside the Mixed Iron Rod, bent down to pull it up, and after a familiar search, his hands revealed a blood-stained scripture.

The scripture seemed crafted from golden pages; the beads of blood that fell onto it did not seep in.

With a casual flick, he saw the words "Dragon Tiger Great Scripture" clearly on it.

The pages rustled, and the characters swiftly imprinted themselves in Shen Yi’s eyes.

At the same time,

The entire temple gradually dispersed, revealing a graveyard.

Only a few mouse burrows remained among the graves.

Monk Zhi Kong held the rod high, staring in astonishment at what lay before him, until after a long time, he blinked twice.

He saw the blood-covered, jet-clad young man holding a corpse in one hand and the Dragon Tiger Great Scripture in the other, and with the night breeze sweeping across the graveyard, the scene possessed an absurd air.

Near another mouse burrow,

The pair of daoist partners from the Purple Cloud Sect, paralyzed with fright, also stared at Shen Yi with contorted features, still not recovered from the shock.

They tried hard to clear their thoughts but found their minds becoming more entangled.

Two Bodhi Sect practitioners fighting, easily taking care of three mortals who had accidentally stumbled in.

And now one of those mortals was standing there, holding one of those immortals...

Looking at the young man’s nonchalant demeanor, he truly seemed like a habitual offender, but of murder.

"Here."

Shen Yi walked calmly towards Master Zhi Kong and handed over the Dragon Tiger Great Scripture.

Monk Zhi Kong remained stunned for a long while before hurriedly stowing away the rod, cradling the scripture with both hands. The other had helped retrieve such a precious scripture, and yet, he didn’t mention a word of thanks.

Even without much experience in past lives, he still felt his face flush with embarrassment.

"Thank you for your help!"

Monk Zhi Kong retrieved the Dragon Tiger Scripture and gave a grand bow in thanks, but as his gaze swept over the scroll, he clearly noticed something amiss.

Scrolls regarding the attainment of a traveler’s fruit... when perused by different individuals, they all leave traces behind.

At first glance, simply leafing through it might not seem like a big deal.

But these were figures at such high levels of attainment—who among them didn’t have a photographic memory?

He stood dazed for a moment, covertly glancing at the two members of the Purple Cloud Sect beside him who still clung to life, sighed inwardly, and completed the ceremonial thank you. At the same time, he silently wiped the traces from the scroll to prevent his seniors in the sect from finding out.

If not for Immortal Fellow Shen, the sins he would have committed could have been enormous.

Hmm, it seemed he had forgotten something.

Monk Zhi Kong looked toward Immortal Fellow Shen’s blood-stained right hand, which now appeared empty. What was he holding just now that had suddenly disappeared?

Oh no! His senior brother!

In the instant Monk Zhi Kong realized what had happened, Shen Yi had already turned away without giving him a chance to speak.

He had personally slain the demon, and there had been no precedent for giving away the spoils.

However, even the subtle action performed by Master Zhi Kong had been seen by Shen Yi. Although he was uncertain of its precise purpose, given the guilty look of the master, it was highly likely he was helping to cover something up.

He would need to be even more cautious in his actions in the future.

"..."

Monk Zhi Kong wore a bitter smile and sighed in his heart once more.

Immortal Fellow Shen’s manner of conducting himself was indeed peculiar, but he was clearly not a bad person, this much Zhi Kong could discern.

Furthermore, he had provided such great assistance.

Let it be, let it be.

He was equally curious about how Immortal Fellow Shen, who clearly had not attained the True Immortal level, nor had cultivated the Path of the Traveler, managed to triumph over his senior brother?

Monk Zhi Kong, not one to speak out of turn, quickly followed along.

"Master Zhi Kong! Senior Shen! Wait for us!"

The couple from the Purple Cloud Sect had just narrowly escaped death and were still shaken; they weren’t about to stay on their own. Propping themselves up, they hastily pursued the two.

"..."

Shen Yi had no interest in attending to others at the moment.

He frowned slightly as he silently stared at his panel.

A few simple alerts.

[Slain Seventh-grade Rat Demon, total lifespan of fourteen tribulations, remaining lifespan years after absorption: five tribulations.]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: two hundred and one tribulations.]

According to what Master Zhi Kong had mentioned earlier, one tribulation equaled one hundred and twenty-nine thousand years.

Shen Yi ran the numbers several times, ensuring he had not suffered a loss, and finally felt relieved.

Then he directed his attention to two other alerts.

[Seventh-grade. Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Technique: beginner level.]

[Fifth-grade. Dragon Tiger Great Scripture: beginner level.]

Master Zhi Kong had indeed not been untruthful; had there not been an incident, the master would have gifted a cultivator’s technique comparable to the True Immortal Technique for a small matter.

But compared to the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Technique, the value of the Dragon Tiger Scripture obtained from the Rat Demon was almost incalculable.

Attaining the fruit to enter the Arhat Realm was equivalent to becoming a Taiyi Sanxian (an advanced immortal).

With just eighty-one tribulations, he could reach nearly three times that!

"Benefactor, it’s too much to hold."

Monk Zhi Kong followed Shen Yi quietly, trying not to make it awkward and avoiding being too direct. He could only wear a look of distress, struggling to formulate his words: "A Third-grade Lotus Platform cannot hold too large a fruit. To subdue the Dragon Tigers, you need at least a Sixth Tribulation Lotus Platform."

He looked at Immortal Fellow Shen’s expression. Did he really intend to practice it?!

No, changing paths was like crossing mountains; from a scattered immortal to a traveler, even the grandmasters changed. Is there really no psychological barrier at all?

"..."

Shen Yi’s expression stalled, and he gave a light cough, indeed having been discovered.

He decided to pretend he didn’t understand.

Now that he had the corpse of the Rat Demon, many things no longer required further inquiry from Master Zhi Kong.

Thus, the group, each with their own thoughts, made their way toward the Land Temple.
