Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 249 - The Reason for the Tripartite Alliance_1
Chapter 249: Chapter 249 The Reason for the Tripartite Alliance_1
A Demon Crystal smashed down, and although there was no progress in martial arts, it did supplement some knowledge.
Incidentally, it also added twenty years to life expectancy, which can’t be considered too bad of a deal.
Shen Yi flipped through the miscellaneous books carried by the Immortal of Evergreen.
Most of them were something akin to “travel notes.”
“So leisurely?”
He mused as he glanced at the names of various powers occasionally mentioned in the book.
Shen Yi fell into contemplation.
It would be good to find a power that specialized in the Primordial Realm and was as generous as the Martial Temple.
Of the two Immortal Sects known so far, there was no way to make contact.
The one time he encountered someone from the Mysterious Light Cave, they wanted to ambush and kill him.
Was it time to venture beyond the bounds of Great Qian?
At this thought, Shen Yi summoned Lady Qinghua and quietly waited for her to awaken from her sorrow.
A full half-hour passed.
Only then did the confusion in Qinghua’s eyes begin to clear, “Qinghua greets my lord.”
“I want to know how Great Qian and the Immortal Sects garrison their territories? Where are they located?” Shen Yi planned to understand the outside situation first, to avoid being inexplicably captured as cannon fodder.
“Garrison?”
Qinghua shook her head in puzzlement, “It has always been the Thousand Demon Cave that garrisons the territory, preventing the Immortal Sects and Great Qian from invading.”
Hearing this, Shen Yi was somewhat taken aback.
This information did not match his understanding of the Martial Temple.
“Within the range of the Thousand Demon Cave, Cultivator’s caves often appear in this world, and the disciples of the Immortal Sects are like flies seeing eggs with a crack, constantly seeking opportunities to get close.”
Lady Qinghua sorted out her thoughts and answered cautiously, “Among them, the Cultivators from the Martial Temple are the most frenzied; their three-zhang-tall Golden Body Dharma Identity completely unmasked, they willfully set foot there and are the easiest to attract the attention of the Thousand Demon Cave.”
“…”
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, that wasn’t being unmasked, that was being unable to mask it.
The dazzling Golden Body, condensed by Incense Willpower, once it appeared would light up the sky, as if desiring to notify everyone within eight hundred li of its arrival.
“If the Martial Temple cultivates the way of the Golden Body, why do they get involved with the Cultivator’s caves?” Shen Yi asked, puzzled.
Even when many Divinity Transformation Cultivators are falling to their deaths, they continue to embrace their fate, which is simply illogical.
“Occasionally, the Golden Body Technique might be found in the Cultivator’s caves, but that’s not the main reason.”
Lady Qinghua thought for a moment and then frowned, “I once overheard the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor chatting with other Demon Emperors, they all come from the same sect and have the habit of cultivating Year Wood, the fruits of which can extend one’s lifespan by twenty years. They need to collect these fruits to send to Wutong Mountain.”
“That’s it!”
Qinghua raised her head, finally remembering, “They need to extend the life of the Wutong Mountain Ancestor, and this is also the reason the three powers formed an alliance. Only if the Wutong Mountain Ancestor is alive can they deter the Thousand Demon Cave.”
“Moreover, the Martial Temple is different from the Immortal Sects; they base their foundation on Incense Willpower, which covers a much larger area and comes with more encumbrances, making them the most in need of Wutong Mountain’s assistance.”
“Once detached from the alliance, the Transcendent Cultivators and Martial Immortals might still be able to protect themselves, which isn’t much different from the Immortal Sect’s disciples, but if Jiuzhou were to be occupied by demons, losing the replenishment of Incense Willpower, they would be no different from waiting for death.”
Hearing this, Shen Yi shook his head inwardly.
At first, he thought that the people from the Mysterious Light Cave were overbearing and that Wutong Mountain seemed to be just and authoritative from afar.
Turns out these people were all working for Wutong Mountain.
Now it explained why the Martial Temple suffered the greatest loss.
A group of Golden Body Cultivators, who were the least suitable for infiltrating demon territories, yet they were the ones who could least afford to abandon the alliance…
Having thought this, Shen Yi proceeded to ask, “There’s one more question, why would Cultivator’s caves appear in the demon territories?”
“As for that, Lady Qinghua is not very clear,” Lady Qinghua was momentarily stunned, then said, “There are actually caves outside as well, but they are relatively rare and do not contain Year Wood.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the miscellaneous books in Shen Yi’s hands, “These should be the maps that record the locations of the caves.”
She pointed to a sentence on the page.
“What’s written here is about the strange phenomena that occur in Yellow Mud Gorge, as well as the regularity of each appearance. According to the text, after roughly seventy years, my lord can consider trying to go there.”
Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully, then pushed a stack of miscellaneous books towards her, “Sort out all the recorded information as quickly as possible.”
“As you command, Qinghua,” she replied.
Lady Qinghua picked up the miscellaneous books, found paper and a pen in the room, and began to analyze seriously at the desk.
Shen Yi was not idle either, although he couldn’t practice Primordial Martial Arts now and had no Incense Willpower to enhance his Golden Body.
Yet, the Body Refining technique could still be further improved.
Now that there were two hundred and ninety-one drops of Demon Blood in his body, he wondered if two more Demon Kings could be nurtured.
He directed the life span of a demon into the Nine Demon Transformation Technique.
[In the first year, you fed all the Demon Blood in your body to that Jade Green Toad…]
Dragon, Mountain Lord, Poison Toad, Peacock…
Almost every one of them had brought Shen Yi many benefits. Now that they were growing again, their Divine Skills would become even stronger.

Not to mention anything else, at least the Peacock’s Hong Mang was now somewhat slow in healing injuries.
[In the seventh thousand and seventy-second year, one hundred and thirty-six drops of Demon Blood was exhausted, the startling crimson patterns covered the entire body of the Jade Green Toad, enhancing its already fearsome toxicity with an added touch of cunning.]
[Primordial Unification. Minor Achievement of the Nine Demons Transformation Method.]
Shen Yi closed his eyes and suddenly felt a dryness in his throat, as if smoke were emanating from it.
The crimson patterns also covered his skin, and even a faint red mist started to swirl around him.
An intense, prickling pain seemed about to crack his body open.
“…”
It’s no surprise that Demonic Martial Arts come with complications; Shen Yi was somewhat unused to it if there weren’t any issues.
He continued to feed the remaining Demon Blood to the Peacock.
Until the last drop disappeared into the Sea of Qi.
[In the fifteenth thousand two hundredth year, the South Guest Immortal consumed the last of the Demon Blood. It spread its scarlet wings, seemingly unsatisfied…]
[Remaining lifespan of the demons: Twenty-four thousand three hundred and twelve years.]
How come the more he consumed, the more there seemed to be?
Shen Yi had mixed feelings; he was happy that the strengthening of his body was genuine, but worried… he felt that even if he slew every renowned demon in Great Qian, he might still not have enough to feed these nine-headed Immortal Demons.
There were five Demon Kings inside his body.
He felt that if he faced the Evergreen True Person again, he might be able to shatter the other’s Dao Infant with a single, head-on punch.
“My lord.”
Lady Qinghua suddenly turned around, first admiringly looking at the not-yet-faded crimson patterns on Shen Yi’s body, then immediately realizing her audacity and quickly lowered her head.
“Qinghua has found out why the Cultivator from Mysterious Light Cave has come.”
“Look here, about two months from now, not far from the Eight Directions Food Pavilion, a cave might open.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi turned his gaze, “A restaurant?”
“It is a power,” Qinghua explained. “Like Qingqiu, it hardly gets involved in the affairs of the Immortal Sect and Thousand Demon Cave. I was once invited to a banquet there, where the feast included an Upper Realm Demon King… Qinghua only had a bowl, but it’s unforgettable to this day.”
