Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 444 - 429 The Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix of the

Chapter 444: Chapter 429: The Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix of the Heavenly Sword Sect Chapter 444 -429: The Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix of the Heavenly Sword Sect Outside the Lecture Hall, verdant hills and clear waters surrounded the area.

Liu Qianyun approached Shen Yi, her curiosity evident in her voice, “Did you win?”

She wasn’t particularly interested in formations, nor had she studied them.

The biggest difference between Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators was having tens of thousands of fellow disciples to rely on, without the need to master everything themselves. This allowed them to focus on a single path to conserve their lifespan and achieve greater distances.

But judging by Elder Yang’s change of expression, Shen Yi seemed to have done something quite remarkable.

This broke Liu Qianyun’s stereotype of these people.

That was almost the view of other Alliance Sect Disciples toward Shen Yi and his group: wild cultivators emerging from a land of severed inheritance. Saying that they were illiterate might be an exaggeration, but it nearly painted the right picture.

Perhaps it wasn’t that they didn’t have the opportunity to learn, rather than not being able to learn.

“My father… Elder Liu has decreed that if Sect Master Shen needs it, the Pure Moon Sect can arrange for some managers or elders to take turns assisting the Nanyang Sect by teaching and passing on cultivation techniques.”

Liu Qianyun’s face took on a more patient expression.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s thoughts stirred slightly. In reality, the Nanyang Sect wasn’t lacking in cultivation techniques; the reserves in the Law Storage Pavilion, though about one hundred thousand years less in accumulation compared to other Alliance Sects, were still sufficient for Returned Void Cultivators.

What he lacked most was experience.

Even with Shen Yi’s considerable lifespan derived from mystical creatures, it was not possible for him to practice every cultivation technique, let alone for Nie Jun and others.

How to quickly gain the most significant improvement, such experiences were also a non-negotiable treasure.

“Shen Yi offers his thanks in advance for the help from your esteemed sect,” he said sincerely as he clasped his hands together.

His earnest gesture caught Liu Qianyun off-guard, feeling unexpectedly honored. While he was only a Returned Void Cultivator, he still held the title of Sect Master, and at least for now, her father acknowledged this status.

Moreover, he was someone capable of impressing Elder Yang with his skills.

Yet he was able to remain composed and humble, which was no easy feat.

“There’s no need for thanks, Sect Master Shen. As members of an Alliance Sect, it’s only right to help each other… Besides, I, a mere manager, don’t have such great abilities. It’s all Elder Liu’s intention, so I can’t really accept your gratitude,” Liu Qianyun replied, waving her hand.

She smiled, “My duty for the next few months is to familiarize you with the outside world. If there’s anything you want to know, just ask.”

At this point, Shen Yi indeed had many questions.

His cultivation could be categorized into four directions, with Body Refining being the most advanced; he urgently needed the blood essence of fiery avian demons. Next was Dao Palace, having just broken through to Return to Void; he needed guidance from others. Other areas such as Formation and Golden Body, being auxiliary means, could also use some improvement.

“I wonder if Manager Liu has any news about fiery avian demons?”

Shen Yi planned to first understand the outside situation, as it wasn’t practical to always hide in the Nanyang Sect.

At the very least, he needed to know what kind of strength was required to leave the Sect.

“Fire avian demons?”

Liu Qianyun pondered for a moment, a hint of apology showing, “Our territory here is called Hongze, predominantly inhabited by the Aquatic Race, so such news is rare… However, the Heavenly Sword Sect surely has it, since they and the Nanyang Sect each took one of the two Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenixes from the past.”

At that, Shen Yi’s eyebrows lifted.

Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix? From the past?

That meant there was another phoenix similar to the one in the Nanyang Sect that had survived intact for over ninety thousand years.

With such talent, what terrible level must it have reached by now?

“But… I’ll ask someone to inquire for you, no matter how rare, there will always be something suitable. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll inquire at the Heavenly Sword Sect,” Liu Qianyun said, taking the initiative to take care of the matter.

Theoretically, with her identity as the daughter of an elder, acquiring phoenix blood essence from an Alliance Sect shouldn’t be a problem; at most, she’d need to exchange something of equal value. The main issue was in justifying the request.

If it were discovered that she was seeking it for Shen Yi,

the Heavenly Sword Sect’s attitude would surely connect this matter to the “invitation” to He Dao Bao Di and use it to invite Shen Yi into their sect again.

“However, with my savings, I can’t exchange for phoenix blood essence. Sect Master Shen will need to prepare in advance,” Liu Qianyun said with a teasing smile, not pretending to be overly generous.

Even though she offered to help, dealing with such a stubborn old man meant she too had no surplus in hand.

“Thank you.”

Shen Yi pondered for a moment. He needed more than just one portion of the phoenix fairy blood. The only things of value he had were slightly more than ten treasures, which were all that remained of the Nanyang Sect’s reserves.

If there were no other options, he’d have to use them as a temporary solution.

“May I ask Elder Liu, how should one break through the Dao Palace?” Shen Yi temporarily set aside the matter of body refining and continued with his questions.

“Dao Palace?”

Liu Qianyun shook her head and explained as if she was listing treasures, “That’s a more troublesome matter. First comes the Dao Palace ascension technique. Depending on the quality, there are techniques ranging from three to six pillars. Of course, Sect Master Shen definitely wouldn’t lack such things, but it’s best to choose based on one’s own talents, as the highest quality is not always the best.”

“The so-called ‘pillars’ can also be referred to as Dao Pillars.”

“To build up the entire twelve layers of the Dao Palace, each layer requires enough sturdy Dao Pillars for support.”

At this point, Liu Qianyun helplessly shifted her gaze away, “For example, due to my own limitations in talent, I opted for a four-pillar technique and have only managed to build up three floors thus far. I’ve tried to break through to the fourth layer of the Return to Void multiple times, but each attempt ended in collapse.”

“I guess this is as far as I’ll get in this lifetime.”

Liu Qianyun sighed, but then quickly came to her senses, realizing that she was not familiar enough with Shen Yi to be sighing and lamenting.

She perked up and continued to explain, “Simply put, each layer’s breakthrough in Return to Void is extremely difficult, and there are three key aspects.”

“The first is talent and comprehension. The Dao Pillars are the product of contemplation, the higher the talent, the better the Dao Pillars one can contemplate.”

“Secondly, to make the Dao Pillars solidify from void to reality, one needs the blessing of Heaven and Earth Treasures; we commonly refer to them as precious materials.”

“Third, if the Dao Pillars are stable enough, the Dao Palace can receive gifts from heaven and earth… Never mind, Sect Master Shen should first return to the sect to select an ascension technique for the Dao Palace. This matter isn’t urgent and can be discussed in detail later.”

Liu Qianyun turned to look at the three people standing foolishly in the distance and stopped explaining for the moment.

They had arrived just fine, but how had things suddenly turned out this way.

“Sigh.”

Upon seeing this, Tong Xin’chuan approached with the other two, staring blankly at Shen Yi, their eyes filled with awe as if they had seen a deity.

Xu Qing’er’s eyes were also shining as she clutched her sleeve tightly.

The events that had just transpired were beyond comprehension for the two of them.

Let alone those from the Nanyang Sect, even the proud cultivators from the Alliance Sects, including the elders, were still stupefied around the array plate.

What defines a genius?

It’s someone who, disregarding their family background and resources, can easily surpass everyone else purely with their talent and comprehension.

…

Shen Yi lifted his eyes, ignoring the piercing gaze of the two.

All this for a formation that he still wasn’t sure of its grade after spending over eight hundred years of demon lifespan, which might not even be as useful as Iron Drawing Silver Hook.

He still didn’t know where to hunt demons now, and his lifespan was dwindling with every use.

He’d rather have fewer such occurrences.

“Mm.”

Elder Liu broke the silence, “Right, I don’t know if Sect Master Shen would be interested in going out for a look. We’ve just received an invitation. If you’re free, it would be nice to go out for a drink.”

“Outside?”

Shen Yi glanced sideways, not expecting Pure Moon Sect to provide guidance. With the support of the Alliance Sect, it would certainly be much better than wandering aimlessly, “Then I won’t be polite.”

Tong Xin’chuan and A’Qing were sensible enough to stand quietly in their places. With their cultivation, the outside world was still too dangerous.

If you look at the Pure Moon Sect, only those with three layers of the Return to Void are qualified to become an elder and leave the sect to carry out duties.

“Hisss.”

Although Li Qingfeng understood this too, the idea still made him eagerly rub his hands together. He was extremely curious about these matters.

“Uh.”

Unable to suppress a chuckle, Liu Qianyun looked at Shen Yi and said softly, “Around this area… that is, in the entire Hongze, we may not look for trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either. It’s just a longevity feast, and by attending I’m giving them face. There won’t be any danger.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded to Qingfeng.

Having this presumptuous person beside him could help him deal with some unnecessary formalities.
