Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

On the city wall, that familiar, handsome face appeared.

An old friend returns; though dressed differently, the expression on their face remains as calm as ever, as if it were only yesterday.

Yan Lanting suddenly felt a bit of a sting in his eyes.

This young general who had established a name for the Southern Continent was still alive, and now, as the Immortals and Buddhas were upon the city, he once again appeared on this dilapidated tower.

Compared to General Yan's emotions, Yang Mingli, after a brief moment of daze, noticed something amiss among the members of the two sects.

Shen Yi's past battle with the Southern Emperor in the Glazed Prefecture had undoubtedly demonstrated a power that shook the Southern Continent, but such strength alone was not enough to keep these Immortal Buddhas at bay.

The next moment, after a few breaths of hesitation, the members of the two sects unexpectedly cupped their hands in unison, leaving the Demon Slayer Bureau's soldiers dumbfounded in place.

"We greet the True Monarch!"

Aside from respect, the faces of the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortals showed more confusion, wondering why Master Yu Yu, who was supposed to be avoiding the Bodhi Sect's pursuit, appeared here, and given the stance, seemingly aligning with the Divine Dynasty.

However, regardless, the performance at the East Continent's Immortal Law Debate had already established an extremely high prestige within the Immortal Sect.

If the Sect Hierarch Master hadn't yet appointed the Twelve Golden Immortals, coupled with the awkward identity of Ling Xuzi, they might have even called Shen Yi "Senior Brother."

Saluting him was only proper.

But the monks of the Bodhi Sect clearly had different thoughts; rather than respect, it was more out of fear.

This madman, against all odds, dared to unleash a massacre under the True Buddha's eyes during the Immortal Law Debate, surely out of some personal vendetta and, on top of that, with the Bodhi Sect unwilling to acknowledge his status as Immortal Emperor, blocking this fierce person's path, forcing him to the brink...

Now without any giants watching, encountering Shen Yi in the Southern Continent naturally filled them with trepidation, fearing that a single wrong word might bring disaster upon themselves.

"True Monarch..."

The sight of all Immortals and Buddhas lowering their brows was shockingly awe-inspiring, even more sincere than earlier bowing to the Ancestor God; to say they were convinced and submissive was not an exaggeration.

Feng Xi could not fully comprehend what Shen Yi had done to make these elevated existences show such respect, even using honorifics.

The next moment, the Great Freedom Bodhisattva resolved her confusion.

"As the leader of all immortals, it is proper for you to drive this great calamity; we dare not overstep."

Like mountains rising and falling, all the Bodhisattva Golden Bodies placed their palms together and slightly bowed, led by several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas, they collectively saluted the figure in the Xuan Shang garment above the city wall.

The saying goes, a wise man does not fight when faced with adversity.

The incense shrine may be important, but one must also consider the situation.

This Jade Void Universe True Monarch, risking being intercepted by the Bodhi Sect, did not return to the North Continent to seek the Three Pure Ones' protection but instead came alone to the Southern Continent, demonstrating his determination.

To still contend with him at this time would be akin to seeking death.

After all, it's impossible for the sect to watch an immortal monopolize the Southern Continent; it's merely a matter of who starts, gaining the upper hand, so why not concede to this person.

The title "Leader of All Immortals" left not only the three Generals of Southern Defense and a group of Demon Slayer Bureau soldiers dumbfounded, but even the calmly meditating Ancestor God slowly opened his eyes.

Second only to the Three Pure Ones, leading the Seventy-two Caves Primordial Golden Immortals, overseeing all immortal laws across the world.

What terrifying authority this is!

To know that the Three Pure Ones and the Five Emperors are themselves uninvolved, this young man before us, with a word, can shake half of Shen Zhou; a mere thought is enough to influence the great state of the Red Dust.

"When...when did he become the head of the Immortal Sect?"

While others might not recognize Shen Yi, Qi Feng and the other True Gods stationed in the Southern Continent surely recognized this face, not only recognized but were especially familiar!

He knew how ruthless this young man was, but at their first meeting, the other was still fighting fiercely with Qingluan...who was Qingluan? A Third Rank Immortal Official, no more than a Fourth Grade Taiyin True Immortal, a junior who could not even stir a ripple in the North Continent.

In the blink of an eye, just ten years for a True God, not even enough for a nap, this one had transformed into a figure Qingluan would have to crane his neck to see the toes of.

Qi Feng God General's mouth twitched, and with his former colleagues, he looked over at Qinghua.

It turns out this ruthless person had them conceal the events inside the Eight Extremes Valley, to prevent the two sects from reacting prematurely, to infiltrate and rule the Three Immortals Sect.

"..."

Lady Qinghua no longer had her earlier indignation; standing with her hands lowered, she appeared calm and serene, like a docile young calf.

Back when she was serving as Horses' Fortune at the Imperial Stables, she knew that one day her master would stand proudly at the top of this world; it was just a matter of time.

Now that this day had finally arrived, she found it more natural than anyone else.

What is the leader of all immortals; even the Three Pure Ones and the Five Emperors shouldn't stand above her master, for her master had once said he disliked having someone over his head.

"This!"

Yang Mingli's face suddenly turned pale. He had thought their savior had arrived, but listening to the meaning behind the Immortals and Buddhas' words, it seemed Shen Yi was no longer just the General of Southern Defense for the Divine Dynasty.

Everyone had guessed wrong; after leaving the Southern Continent, Shen Yi had not fled all over as they imagined but instead rose to become a significant figure within the two sects.
