Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

When the room was empty,

Shen Yi shook his head.

Actually, revealing his body refining cultivation level had been part of his plan all along.

After all, he still needed to rely on the Martial Temple for incense willpower, but he also needed to go out to slay demons to harvest lifespan and demon blood, so as a Yin God Cultivator, there had to be some explanation for being able to slay Demon Kings everywhere.

He gripped the Golden Wolf Jade Token tightly and reopened the panel.

As the demon lifespan poured into the Tri-Elemental Ascension Method, an abundant supply of incense willpower began to converge once more.

Yin Gods were of little use to Shen Yi if they required personal control, but if they could be manipulated using demon souls, the concept would be entirely different.

Just like this time.

By working together with Lady Qinghua, he could reap twice the lifespan of the demon.

"Should these incense willpowers be enough for me to break through to the Upper Realm Martial Immortal?"

Shen Yi looked at the predictive hints emerging on the panel; in countless trials, the Yin God had clearly found a path suitable for itself. The white mist circulated more harmoniously within it, and it seemed unlikely that any major issues would arise next.

Two cloud patterns were the sign of an Upper Realm Martial Immortal.

Yet this cultivation technique was called the "Tri-Elemental Ascension Method."

That meant reaching the Upper Realm wasn't the ultimate perfection.

But whether it was from the General or brother Wu, it was said that after reaching the Upper Realm, one could start considering condensing a Golden Body.

Was it probably because of the urgency for a longer lifespan?

Shen Yi planned to practice it first anyway, since he had plenty of demon lifespan, and the Martial Temple was not lacking in incense willpower.

[In the two-thousand-and-four-hundredth year, with a sufficient supplement of incense willpower, a second cloud pattern slowly formed around the Yin God, its body becoming solid, and its expression becoming increasingly indifferent, far from the secular world yet apart from it — this is the Upper Realm Martial Immortal.]

[Tri-Elemental Ascension Method Great Success]

Inside the sea of qi, the Yin God's presence had clearly overwhelmed the Dao Infant.

It was as if an exiled immortal was sitting in meditation.

Two cloud patterns spiraled behind like Yin Yang Fish.

"Come out," he beckoned.

Shen Yi communicated with Lady Qinghua using his divine sense.

However, there was no movement at all inside the room.

"Hmm?"

Shen Yi frowned and dived back into introspection.

He saw the Yin God trying hard to stand up, but like a newborn baby, its legs trembled and it fell back onto its bottom.

All the air of an exiled immortal was gone.

Shen Yi could hardly imagine the laughter of others if they were to see a Yin God like this... That thing bore his own face.

"My lord, please give Qinghua a little more time," implored Lady Qinghua almost on the verge of tears, struggling to get up in the sea of qi.

With just a bit more effort, she wouldn't be replaced!

"..."

Shen Yi watched as the Yin God fell over a dozen times before confirming that it probably wouldn't be able to stand up.

He let out a somewhat pained sigh.

It seemed he couldn't put off paying this ten-thousand-year demon lifespan.

Forget it, he had earned a lot this time anyway, so there was no need to be so stingy.

With a thought of his divine sense,

a ten-thousand-year lifespan transformed into a Demon Origin and was sent to the description of Lady Qinghua on the panel.

The Yin God immediately stopped moving.

As time passed, a more formidable aura began to radiate from within.

[Demon King (Rare): Lady Qinghua]

The script on the panel changed as well.

The next moment, the Yin God emerged from the body, and two auspicious clouds enveloped the room. A handsome young man walked out from amid the clouds, with his clothes fluttering and a detached disposition.

Perfectly as Shen Yi had imagined himself.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Lady Qinghua left the Yin God and returned to her demon soul form, kneeling respectfully at Shen Yi's feet, her voice tinkling like a silver bell, "Thank you, my lord, for your grace; Qinghua will not fail to meet your high expectations."

"There are no high expectations, just work diligently," he said.

Shen Yi stood up, pondering how to use Qinghua to make back the ten thousand years' worth of effort.

He took both the Yin God and Qinghua back into his body.

Looking up at the exceedingly sparse white mist in the sky.

The incense willpower of the entire Demon-suppression Bureau was already at its limit in supporting an Upper Realm Martial Immortal.

It was time to ask his senior brother if there were any other vacancies.

The blue shirt on the other person did look quite nice.

"Perhaps I'll wait a few days."

As Shen Yi stepped outside, his mind suddenly changed.

Though the other considered him a genius, such speed was indeed somewhat exaggerated.

After all, he took the power of incense only to condense the Golden Body Technique.

Why not head to the Armory first to pick a Golden Body Technique to learn? Once he got a grasp, he could then consider the matter of incense willpower.

Moreover, even though being a Martial Immortal was a shortcut and allowed for rapid ascension, his main cultivation was still along the path of Primordial; he might as well take a look at some Primordial Martial Arts too.

With that thought, Shen Yi turned his steps towards the Armory.

...

Imperial City Arsenal.

Shen Yi used the Golden Wolf Amulet to summon the Golden Jade Stairway and then hurried down.

The same emaciated old man stood at the entrance.

But this time, his expression changed slightly upon seeing Shen Yi, and he took the initiative to greet, "You're here? Go inside."

The Yin God cultivators wandering inside the Armory all paused and looked on with curiosity.

"..."

Shen Yi nodded in response.

It was clear that these Martial Immortals were bored to the extreme; such a short period had passed, yet the events from the courtyard had already spread here.

"Martial Immortal techniques or Body Refining methods?"

One of the Martial Immortals approached with a smile, joking casually.

The rare event of a Yin God Cultivator refining the body was the first of its kind in the entirety of Great Qian.

"Thank you, I would like to look at the Golden Body Technique," Shen Yi replied politely.

Before his words fell, the other Martial Immortals looked over again.

Old Ghost Wu did say that the Armory was fully open to the youths, but it had been less than an hour, and he was already eager to check out the Golden Body Technique... Such an impatient and curious demeanor was indeed fitting for a proud youth of his status.

The crowd did not offer any advice, only smiling as they pointed him in the right direction.

There was a living example in that direction.

Just one look at this prodigy would be more cautionary than a thousand words.

Shen Yi followed the direction given and walked to a corner of the storage hall.

There was a small pavilion.

At the entrance stood a Yin God, overlapping with a skeleton, maintaining a "sitting" posture as if in deep thought.

"Senior, could you please make way?"

Shen Yi could have passed directly through the Yin God, but he could not walk through a skeleton, which was inconveniently blocking the middle of the path.

"Ah... oh..."

The Yin God looked up bewilderingly, then turned and lifted the skeleton aside, then merged back into it.

After a moment's pause, he asked, "Are you here to look at the Golden Body Technique?"

As Shen Yi had just stepped into the pavilion, he glanced sideways and said, "Yes."

"I'll accompany you... together," the Yin God floated up, a self-satisfied smile appearing, "I've read all of the more than twenty Golden Body Techniques here, know them by heart, and there's no Cultivator in the entire Great Qian more skilled in the Golden Body Technique than I am."

Speaking of the Golden Body Technique, his speech became much smoother.

"My last name... I forgot... You can just call me Senior Brother."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows; it was evident that the other was one of those cultivators whose potential was limited and who had never managed to achieve Divinity Transformation, resulting in a withered physical form.

Luckily, his own Demon lifespan was plentiful.

Otherwise, he might have ended up with the same fate.
