Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

```

Last time I slew a flood dragon in Shuiyun Village, the scenario was somewhat similar, though the quantity didn't come close to what we have now.

The vast and dense fog was enough to surprise Shen Yi in secret.

However, upon reflection, it seemed normal.

The Demon-suppression Bureau suppressed the influential families and sects and eradicated the wild god and demon shrines. Whether it was the Demon-suppression Bureau Office or the General's Mansion, they were always built in the most prominent part of the city.

All of this was to ensure that the people always knew who was protecting them.

Well, although the protection was barely sufficient and demons still devoured humans from time to time, in Shen Yi's view, the Demon-suppression Bureau was not lacking in attitude but in strength.

The common folk worshipped the Demon-suppression Great General with incense willpower, and this group of cultivators in the Embrace Pill Realm really did their best to slay demons. The two supported each other.

If it weren't for the variable of the little Demon King, maintaining the peace in Qingzhou wouldn't be just empty talk.

"..."

Before leaving, General Chen had left some instructions.

Therefore, Shen Yi didn't need to be polite anymore.

He directed the life span of demons towards the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique, and in an instant, the sky full of mist was devoured by the inner core.

Dao Infant and Yin God both aimed for the same destination by different paths.

Though in essence they were two different things, the actual process of their condensation was quite similar.

With one successful experience behind him,

Within just three hundred years, the seed of godliness had completely transformed into the shape of an embryo.

Shen Yi took a moment to observe.

He discovered that he could stimulate it with his divine consciousness and issue commands. It took less time, but the little one's consciousness was relatively weak and slow to comprehend.

Yet, Shen Yi still felt the surrounding fog was being influenced by it.

Humming—

The Abyssal Longblade suddenly trembled slightly, then whooshed out of its sheath, hovering in front of Shen Yi.

"This is what General Chen meant by borrowing the power of the Yin God..."

Shen Yi had originally thought that when he was in Qingfeng Mountain, Patriarch Chen had closed his eyes to let his Yin God leave his body, but it turned out the other party was just delving inward to amuse a child.

After merging with the Dao Infant,

He no longer had any spare divine consciousness to allocate to the Yin God.

The reason why others had never thought to cultivate both was not necessarily because it was impossible, but because it was pointless.

One strand of divine consciousness doesn't need two vessels, nor can it control both.

On the contrary, as time goes by, the consciousness of the Yin God would gradually grow, and eventually, it would start to resist.

The beings formed by incense willpower were clearly much gentler than those formed by demonic power, like the Heaven-Devouring Dao Infant... but this was only relatively speaking, not to say that they were harmless.

Once it fully matured, even if one considered the best-case scenario, even if it didn't turn against its creator, it would definitely no longer obey commands. It was probably thinking only of how to break free from its fetters, escape from the sea of qi, and from then on live a carefree existence.

Shen Yi planned to reshape a demonic soul using his panel, and let this demonic soul control the Yin God.

He wasn't quite sure if this plan was reliable.

But with the existence of the Sun Melting Furnace, and his own strong divine consciousness, it was impossible for the Yin God to turn against him, at best it would be a waste, squandering a lot of incense willpower.

"Continue."

Shen Yi turned his gaze back to the sky filled with fog, generously infusing the demonic lifespan into it without hesitation.

He was just too lazy to express his inner thoughts to others.

It really wasn't as easy as it seemed.

He obtained many gains from slaying the little Demon King, but also offended enemies he completely did not understand.

He wasn't particularly worried at first, as he was, after all, a discipled registered with the Martial Temple. If it really came down to it, he could just hide away in the Martial Temple for a while.

However, after listening to Jiang Qiulan's explanation, Shen Yi suddenly realized that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

```

A Martial Temple with a host of dignified Golden Bodies presiding over it had reached a state where it could hardly protect itself.

Two unfamiliar Immortal Sects, under Jiang Qiulan's warning, also didn't seem to be any meek or easy targets.

To stay alive, one still had to rely on oneself.

But what troubled Shen Yi the most was that he was quickly running out of road.

The upper limit of the Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon was the Primordial Realm, and the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique was already perfected; shattering the inner core was merely a matter of foundation and time. Combined, these would definitely allow him to possess strength not inferior to that of a General or Xiao Yue, perhaps even much stronger.

However, even the Golden Body within the Martial Temple was severely injured, and the opponent was in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"..."

This situation was almost exactly the same as it had been in Baiyun County, but back then, there had still been a direction to go in – to enter the Demon-suppression Bureau and acquire a Cultivation Technique.

Now, not a single thought came to him.

It seemed... that he could only rely on those incomplete ideas to deduce some chaotic Demonic Martial Arts.

Shen Yi had to leave himself a way out.

If he couldn't successfully deduce the subsequent martial arts, then the Golden Body Technique controlled by the Martial Temple might be his only way to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.

The lifespan of the demon was dwindling rapidly, the Incense Willpower from the entire Linjiang Prefecture surged toward this place!

Until the enveloping white fog disappeared without a trace, not even a sliver remained.

Within the Heaven-Devouring inner core, next to the crimson Dao Infant, a naive shadowy figure slowly sat upright.

[In the 920th year, you have successfully condensed a complete Yin God]

[Remaining demonic lifespan: 5,403 years]

In nine hundred years, from a divine seed to a Yin God, this progress was even faster than that of General Chen Qiankun.

Shen Yi silently looked at the Abyssal Longblade in front of him, only to find it trembling as it pointed its tip at him: "..."

A hint of coldness swept across his handsome face.

The next moment, the suppressive force in the sea of qi transformed into an invisible giant hand that coldly grasped the Yin God's neck, no longer merely giving a couple of slaps as a lesson but carrying a deep murderous intent.

"Nine hundred years is all, I wouldn't mind condensing it all over again."

As if hearing the threat in Shen Yi's heart, the Yin God trembled and dutifully returned the Abyssal Longblade to the young man's sheath at his waist.

This powerful divine consciousness had once fought a Dao Infant Consciousness far stronger than itself by hand, and the slight cruelty that seeped through made it dare not doubt for a moment that the youth was joking.

"..."

After a long while, Shen Yi released the suppressive force.

To reshape the demonic soul, he still lacked over four thousand years of demonic lifespan.

As for the target, if he could kill the Howling Moon Demon King, then naturally, nothing could be better, but if it truly wasn't possible, then he would just make do with lesser Demon Kings.

As for now, well.

With the Incense Willpower in Linjiang Prefecture being completely drained, General Chen's strength had decreased significantly, and before some recovery, Shen Yi planned to stay in Linjiang Prefecture a little longer.

He would also take the opportunity to sort out this Yin God.

No such good luck exists in the world to only eat without working.

Shen Yi stepped out and called over a deputy general: "Please do me a favor and bring me all the documents related to the garrison demon of Linjiang Prefecture."

"Your humble servant understands!"

The deputy general stood up straight, his hands clasped tightly in a salute.

Anyone with eyes could see that Linjiang Prefecture was about to undergo a change of command, and this young General Shen clearly seemed ready to take over from General Chen.

He then quietly asked, "General Shen, do you need me to inform the retainers to come back to report?"

"No need."

Shen Yi shook his head. Xiao Yue's Embrace Pill Demon Lords had all withdrawn, but those like the Toad Lord, hiding in their lairs and being monitored, probably couldn't be withdrawn.

Since he was free anyway, he might as well make as much as he could.
