Chapter 380: Slaughtering Great Qian, This Emperor Offers a Reward (Thanks to Cun Tou Er Xiao)

"I might as well tell you directly: the speed at which that cultivator has grown is enough to terrify even his own Dao companions."

Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor, walked briskly ahead.

She had been observing the changes in Tong Xinchuan's expression, discovering that compared to herself, the other party was even more shocked by the black-robed youth's methods.

This indicated that the man was not a deliberately cultivated trump card of the Sanfangtong Alliance.

But rather a "variable."

For demons and monsters, such a variable is terrifying; whether in physique or lifespan, human cultivators are far inferior to demons and monsters.

Their greatest advantage lies in those ethereal, intangible things.

Once they attain enlightenment, they can turn defeat into victory.

Completely disregarding reason, just like Nie Jun back in the day.

If the Lion still clings to his previous attitude of contempt, he will likely suffer a great loss; she has seen far too many similar examples over these years.

"You have a grudge against that cultivator surnamed Shen, don't you?" Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor, looked back.

"He is merely a defeated subordinate who luckily escaped with his life." Shen Yi seemed still immersed in the rage over his cave dwelling's destruction; mentioning that cultivator, though his face remained calm, his voice involuntarily grew colder.

"Then your skills are quite good."

Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor, smiled; compared to that eldest senior sister from Mount Wutong earlier, the Golden-Eyed Lion who fought his way out of the Thousand Demon Cave was simply infinitely more pleasing to the eye.

She was certain that if they fought at the same realm, that woman would not last three rounds before the Lion.

"But this Emperor must remind you: you may not yet be his match."

Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor's expression turns solemn: "Do not be careless; his array formations are still somewhat strange... However, arrays like this, given his realm, certainly require time to set up. If you can kill him by surprise..."

"Without the aid of arrays, relying solely on his Sword Art, he will likely be unable to match you, but his teleportation technique is quite clever, so some preparations are still needed."

Having said this, the woman returned to her relaxed demeanor: "The old rule applies: first, slaughter a province of Great Qian. There, with many people and eyes, once you kill enough to make the Martial Temple afraid, you will surely learn news of that cultivator; the world certainly holds people he cannot bear to leave behind."

Within the Nanyang Sect, if one wants to investigate, there is nowhere that cannot be investigated.

Cultivating all the way up, no matter how high one's talent, one cannot do without resources.

Those who can afford such resources are no one other than the Sanfangtong Alliance.

"Any more questions?" Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor, withdrew her gaze.

Shen Yi fell silent for a moment, glanced at the woman, his golden eyes as still as an ancient well, and said lightly, "No questions."

That casually mentioned "old rule."

If it falls upon Great Qian, it could be Outside Qingzhou, 连带 causing himself in Bo Yunxian to be utterly annihilated.

Fortunately, Shen Yi has now left Bo Yunxian and stands within the Thousand Demon Cave, so he will not die with a face full of confusion.

"Do not wear that impatient expression; if you can slay him..."

The plump woman suddenly revealed a playful smile: "The two things you desire, this Emperor might not be unable to give you."

Her voice suddenly became much more languid.

As long as the other party can prove sufficient strength, letting him guard the Fourth Cave would be no problem; the heavenly treasures and earthly gems inside could also be prioritized for this Lion to enjoy.

By then, she would not only find someone to accompany her but could occasionally spare time to leave the Thousand Demon Cave.

"If you need anything, come find me."

Leaving these words, Jin Chi, the Demon Emperor, flapped her wings and ascended directly into the sky, departing.

"..."

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, stood in place, and fell into deep thought.

Do not look at how lazy this group of demons and monsters appears usually; when they truly encounter matters, their execution is quite high.

Having merely exchanged glances with him, they could immediately react.

This is also the thing Shen Yi finds most troublesome.

To survive within the Thousand Demon Cave, relying solely on one's tongue is certainly insufficient, and similar to the Xuan Guang Cave, a token of submission cannot be produced every time.

Mount Wutong endured several disasters; now it is finally Great Qian's turn.

"I must still hurry."

Shen Yi looked at the panel in mid-air.

【Remaining Lifespan of Demons and Monsters: Sixty-Eight Thousand Years】

Such a huge consumption, with a full eight thousand years wasted idly; he and the Old Fox pondered for so long, yet not even the slightest progress was made.

This time, even the "practice randomly first" method he was best at previously could not be used.

The reason is very simple.

His cultivation is simply too low; the foundation of the early Soul Transformation realm cannot support even a single attempt.

The remaining eighteen thousand years were entirely poured into another technique.

【Return to Emptiness: Dragon Leaps to the Celestial Yin: Minor Success】

The reason it was not continued to be deduced further was still due to the issue of cultivation.

To wield Return to Emptiness techniques at the current realm is simply too forced; even with the supplement of the Demon Core, no matter how urgent the stream, it is difficult to fill a vast Wang Yang in a short time.

Moreover, given such intense consumption recently, the Demon Core's reserves are indeed not many.

"My Lord, if you can slay the Xuan Ming Spider Emperor..."

Shenxu Laozu of Qing Qiu softly reminded.

Although that old spider cannot cultivate itself, having翻阅 so many classics, it is certainly a good asset.

"Hmm."

Shen Yi looked towards the distance with a slight headache.

Only after fighting Jin Chi, the Nine-Ringed Tiger, did he realize exactly how vast the gap was between himself and the Ten Great Demon Emperors.

His near-strongest killing move, the Heavenly Evil Five Thunder Sword Art, could only inflict some trivial, non-painful superficial wounds on the opponent.

As for the matter of advancing his realm, he had already discussed it with the fox many times.

The Qingqiu Ancestor had originally thought that in this matter, it could still share the burden for its master.

Until it heard the technique Shen Yi used when transforming his spirit.

Swallow-Heaven Tiannan Dan Shi...

The old fox had never imagined that someone could use a single pill-refining method from the Jade Liquid Realm all the way to the Transformation of Spirit Realm.

The master's path of cultivation could be described as chaotic and without any order.

If he could continue to break through despite this, only then would it be called that Heaven has no eyes.

Fortunately, the problem Shen Yi encountered was actually very similar to that of the Qingqiu fox: both possessed a body of demonic power yet wished to forcibly walk the path of cultivators.

So the old fox also produced a pill formula treasured by Qingqiu, known as the Break-Confusion Pill.

As the name suggests, sheer force overcomes all skill; as long as the medicinal power is sufficient, it can dispel all confusion.

"Return to the Qi Sect in Li Zhou and have them forge a medicine cauldron for me."

Shen Yi gave the order to Lady Qinghua in his mind, using the best cauldron-forging blueprint that Qingqiu had researched for many years before finally obtaining it.

What he needed to do was to hurry and search for the necessary medicinal herbs.

Slay that spider and establish his own Boundless Dao Imperial Palace.

Of course, before this, Shen Yi still had other matters to attend to.

This duel had let him taste the sweetness of formation arrays; unfortunately, his divine soul was insufficient, allowing him to set up only a trapping array.

If he could add one more killing array or sealing array, it could actually be counted as a complete array for confronting enemies.

Upon thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly soared into the air, heading toward the Eighth Cave.

He simply did not believe that within such a vast Collection of Techniques Pavilion, there was no technique for enhancing the divine soul.

Since he was being ambushed by Mount Wutong anyway, he might as well use this as an excuse to go there for refuge.
