Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

```

No need for a coachman to take charge, four divine and enigmatic horses steadily trod forward.

Inside the luxurious carriage, there sat only one person and a Yin God.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, feigning sleep.

Compared to the last time he entered the capital, he no longer wore the frigid profound armor, only a clean and neat ink-black robe.

Reporting for duty at the Martial Temple did not require formal attire, a privilege enjoyed only by a state military commander.

Jiang Yuanhua, ethereal and drifting, sat opposite him: "Is General Officer so much in a hurry? I thought you would at least stay for two more months."

According to his estimation, Jiang Qiulan's Dao Infant was damaged, and he should have stayed in Qingzhou City for a while longer; he thought these two youths would enjoy this hard-to-come-by peace and tranquility.

Clicking his tongue.

Jiang Yuanhua shook his head, as for Lin Baiwei's little scheme... Being so young, she should focus on her spiritual cultivation; let the elder disciples handle matters of love and affection.

"Sigh."

Shen Yi shifted his body to the side; he truly did not want to share a carriage with this chatterbox.

Clearly a Yin God, not content to drift in the heavens, insisting on sitting in a carriage like a human.

"By the way, I am actually very curious, what exactly happened with Officer Shen and Qiu Lan on your last trip to the Imperial City?"

After losing his physical body, Jiang Yuanhua's skin had grown considerably thicker. He could outright ask things that would irritate others.

"..."

Shen Yi opened his eyes and silently glanced over.

Jiang Yuanhua suddenly felt a slight chill run through his body, his face full of confusion.

Qiu Lan's resentment toward himself was understandable, after all he knew there had been a farcical incident in the Ji Mansion but had not spoken out; but why did Shen Yi harbor such resentment?

"Could it be..."

Suddenly recalling something, Jiang Yuanhua feigned a realization and before he could finish, he awkwardly closed his mouth under the watch of the young man's calm gaze.

No wonder he returned so quickly the last time.

It seems the problem may not lie with Qiu Lan.

"It was my miscalculation."

Jiang Yuanhua forced a smile.

When he bid farewell to them last time, he had merely made an offhand remark, truly only because he valued Shen Yi's talent, hoping to use Consort Ji's connections to help him gain more resources.

He had forgotten that a handsome yet decisive general like Shen Yi would be much more attractive to the Princely Heir of Prince Ji, who had grown up surrounded by women, than Jiang Qiulan could be.

The Princely Heir was indeed daring, even daring to misbehave in front of Consort Ji.

"Consort Ji is from outside the Great Qian Dynasty, her marriage into the Ji Mansion was somewhat condescending, and I've heard she has an elder cultivating in the Mysterious Light Cave, though I don't know who exactly. However, you are the commander of a state's military, so you need not worry about having offended her."

"She cursed you, not me," Shen Yi responded indifferently.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuanhua bringing it up, he would have almost forgotten that woman he had only seen a few times.

"She almost succeeded in her curse."

Jiang Yuanhua casually sighed, had it not been for a Primordial Grandmaster like Shen Yi falling from the sky, not only would he himself have been devoured completely by Xiao Yue, but probably the whole of Qingzhou would've been buried with him.

When this topic was raised, he finally became quiet: "Qingzhou is still too small, and my aptitude is poor. If it were Li State... Even if it were Tanzhou, it would be possible to nurture a Middle Realm Martial Immortal, and taking down Xiao Yue would not be a problem."

"Is the difference in cultivation levels between Martial Immortals dependent on the population of a state?"

Shen Yi suddenly realized that all this time, he had been asking Lady Qinghua about Martial Warrior matters... Isn't this one right in front of him a bona fide expert of the human race?

It's just that he had always seemed so... useless, that he had subconsciously overlooked him.

```

"For a General, it's like that,"

Jiang Yuanhua nodded. Now that Shen Yi had become a Primordial Grandmaster, he was indeed supposed to have some information on Yin God Cultivators. After all, nurturing a Yin Spirit wasn't the exclusive domain of the Great Qian Dynasty; one must not be too hasty if they encounter one in the future.

"After all, the way we obtain Incense Willpower is only through the states and regions we garrison. The larger the state, the stronger the General. Of course, it also has to do with aptitude. If someone like General Chen were given control of Li State, he might not even achieve breaking the pill stage."

Hearing this, Shen Yi arched an eyebrow.

Why do both master and disciple like to use Chen Qiankun as an example? Can't they show the old man a little respect?

"Besides the Generals, there are also many Martial Immortals in the Martial Temple who hold sway over the Great Qian, controlling the fate of Jiuzhou... Within the Imperial City, they all can demonstrate the strength of an Upper Realm Martial Immortal."

"Even..."

Jiang Yuanhua pondered for a moment and whispered, "Some of the frontrunners can even temporarily control a Golden Body Dharma Identity."

"The twelve fallen ones?" Shen Yi's expression remained calm, but a hint of something crossed his eyes.

"Even though they can't bring out the full strength of a Golden Body Dharma Identity, they are not something that cultivators or warriors below the Divinity Transformation Realm can withstand," Jiang Yuanhua openly revealed the Great Qian Dynasty's biggest trump card.

"At least as far as I know, the Lion Camel Avatar and the Yaksha Avatar have been summoned before."

As a former General of Qingzhou, there was even a hint of envy on his face as he mentioned this.

As a Yin God Cultivator, who wouldn't want to join the Martial Temple and advance further?

Unfortunately, the Martial Temple only looks at aptitude, not strength. They select only those who have the chance to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, even if it's an ordinary person. If there's no chance, even an Initial Realm Martial Immortal like him could only be rejected at the door.

Without reaching Divinity Transformation, you can't save the Great Qian.

Only by refining a Golden Body Dharma Identity can one venture beyond the land of Jiuzhou, and with unimaginable strength regain face and a say for the Great Qian Dynasty and the Martial Temple; otherwise, no matter how strong one is, it's merely being a bully in one's own little corner.

"It's possible to move..."

Shen Yi retracted his gaze, wondering if acquiring a Golden Body Dharma Identity was equivalent to having the help of half a Divinity Transformation Realm immediately?

He collected his thoughts and continued to ask, "What about Primordial? How should the high and low be distinguished?"

"Well, I've also inquired about this on behalf of Qiu Lan before. There was a real person in the Mysterious Light Cave who practiced a similar intent of Ice and Shale. Later, with the method of solidifying Shale back to Primordial, and using the incredibly precious Mystical Crystal Jewel Fruit to repair the heart of the Dao Infant, he stepped into the Primordial Middle Realm."

"At that time, he was a guest in the Great Qian Dynasty, trading with the Ancestor of the Court Martial Temple for this item, hence the record was left."

Jiang Yuanhua spoke cautiously, not adding any speculation of his own.

He knew that if he misspoke about such a thing, it could have a massive impact on Shen Yi, possibly even severing his path.

"In any case, it can never bypass the Thousand Demon Cave."

Although he didn't know the exact reason, all the Primordial Warriors were battling with the Thousand Demon Cave. If the Great Qian Dynasty was doing it to protect the common people and maintain the foundation of the Martial Temple, then what about the Immortal Sect?

With just that handful of people, each one a strong individual, could they really not find a place to settle?

It couldn't be that they truly harbored concern for the whole world.

He could believe it of Wutong Mountain, but the Mysterious Light Cave? Forget it.

"Understood."

Shen Yi seemed to have found a new direction.

The places the other warriors were going to must be where the answers lay.

But from the current point of view, it was very easy for a Primordial Grandmaster to play the role of going off to their doom; only cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Realm were the real fruit-pickers.

He must quickly acquire the foundation necessary to participate.

The two ceased their idle talk, yet the carriage continued to speed forward relentlessly.

Day and night alternated.

That magnificent Imperial City finally came into view again for Shen Yi.
