Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

The Purple Gold Dan Furnace slowly rotated in midair.

A cultivator, completely ignorant of pharmacology, had unexpectedly taken on the air of a master while refining the Phoenix Pill.

Shen Yi adeptly processed the medicinal power and then added the essence blood of the Golden Fire Sparrow demon into it.

Sensing the changes within the pill furnace.

Clearly, the quality of the Golden Fire Sparrow's essence blood was far inferior to the Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix he once used, but with his profound cultivation, the effect turned out to be even better.

A dozen days passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yi steadily controlled the separating fire, and the essence blood of the four sparrow demons fully merged with the medicinal power.

In an instant, a familiar light spilled out from the Purple Gold Dan Furnace.

Many phantom phoenix silhouettes circled around the furnace.

As the furnace opened, beams of golden light burst forth, falling into Shen Yi's palm.

Seventeen pills were successfully made!

This time, he had utterly exhausted the Phoenix Pill ingredients he had obtained from the fourth cave.

He closed his eyes, savoring the fragrant scent of the pills.

It should be enough by now, he thought.

Shen Yi placed a Phoenix Pill into his mouth, opened his panel, and poured the demon's lifespan into it.

[Reverting Void. Immortal Phoenix True Body: Minor Accomplishment]

[In the first year, you consumed the Phoenix Pill, digested its medicinal power, and directed it to the phoenix egg within your body, repairing the cracks on its surface...]

During the last fight with the old dog and the Blue Sea Toad, Shen Yi was seriously injured.

However, the injuries were not manifested on him; it was that phoenix egg bearing the damage, which acted somewhat like a second life. It was truly worthy of the title "Immortal Phoenix".

The consumption of medicinal power was easy to handle and did not take much time.

More of the demon's lifespan was expended on that golden phoenix egg, which required eons to mature.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged, continuously swallowing Phoenix Pills one after another.

Such Spiritual Physique Techniques deliberately retained the wildness and ferocity within the essence blood for a better effect.

Had Shen Yi not already been accustomed to demonic power, swallowing such a large quantity would have likely affected his mind.

His face took on an unusual red hue, with the luster seeming alive as it converged toward the golden flame pattern between his brows, giving off the illusion that the golden flame was leaping.

"Sigh."

[In the thirty-eighth millennium, after digesting fifteen Phoenix Pills, the long-nurtured phoenix egg finally underwent a transformation]

[Reverting Void. Immortal Phoenix True Body: Major Accomplishment]

The moment the panel notification sprung up.

Shen Yi suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of life force bolstering his body.

Continuous "crack" sounds echoed in his ears.

Above the Dao Infant's Five Organs, the golden phoenix egg began to crack, but this time it was not being forcibly shattered.

Dazzling golden flames erupted from within!

"Majestic!"

The creature born from the ashes emitted a shrill cry, swirling inside Shen Yi's body, with the eggshell turning into flowing light and pouring into its form, making it even stronger.

Eventually, the golden phoenix assumed a wing-spread posture, with golden flames flowing and spreading across it, transforming into a phoenix tree connected to the five organs.

It nested upon the phoenix tree, becoming Shen Yi's second heart.

"Heh..."

Shen Yi exhaled a scorching breath and his complexion finally returned to its fair color.

Only the golden flame, like the eyes of a phoenix, shone brilliantly between his brows.

His Ink Robe moved without wind, and his handsome face now had a hint of otherworldly immortality in his pupils, still tinged with blood, gleaming with gold.

"Such a terrifying enhancement."

Flexing his hand, Shen Yi relaxed his brows.

His current aura was no weaker than the old sparrow demon he faced earlier, who was at the fourth layer of Return to Void; from minor to major accomplishment, he had directly leaped over the early stages of the Return to Void.

With this Spiritual Physique Technique alone, he could easily be a steward for any of the Nan Hong Seven Sons.

In the Immortal Sect, his cultivation was not considered high.

But it provided Shen Yi with a greater scope to exert himself, at least now he had the credentials to leave the Immortal Sect and travel the world on his own.

After briefly feeling the changes brought by the Spiritual Physique Technique,

Looking at the remaining lifespan on the panel, Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, sensing something odd.

Both the Body Refining Method and the Spiritual Physique Technique require no clever thinking and are supposed to be the most time-consuming cultivation techniques.

For example, an ordinary Returned Void Cultivator,

If they focused on the Immortal Phoenix True Body, it would take thirty to fifty thousand years for their lifespan to nearly deplete, and the upper limit would be no more than the fourth layer of Return to Void, serving only as a reluctant choice for those cultivators with mediocre talents who have no hope of breakthrough.

But for himself, this technique became the most time-saving option.

"Forget it, it should be about right now."

Now protected by the Spiritual Physique Technique, Shen Yi finally dared to place the Golden Fire Sparrow Town Stone inside the Dao Palace.

He brought out the nearly five hundred zhang wide vermilion Demon Emperor's Palace from between his brows, covering the entire sky.

Immediately, he began selecting the Town Stones.

The Golden Fire Sparrow, Blue Sea Toad, Spirit Cloud Deer demon, Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix, these were all third-grade Town Stones, among which the Golden Fire Sparrow was close to second-grade.

Finally, adding Shen Feng and Bai Hong, two fourth-grade Divinity Transformation Realm Town Stones.

No matter if it could rival Li Xuanqing, it was certainly not a foundation that any ordinary cultivator could accumulate.

Coupled with the highest-grade Six Pillars Ascending Palace Method of the Nanyang Sect,

Shen Yi's expression gradually became serious.

He then opened the panel,

[In the first year, you cast the Six Pillars Nanyang Ascension Method, beginning to condense the second layer of the Dao Palace.]

As the notification popped up, the Dao Palace in the sky slowly started to change.

Directly below the meditation cushion surrounded by the nine demons, those terrifying Town Stones suddenly started to tremble slightly.

At the same time, all the cultivators within the inner gate domain of the Nanyang Sect felt the fluctuations in the aura.

Compared to the majority who were confused,
