Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 486: Chapter 456: All Eyes on Sect Master Shen (5K) Chapter 486: Chapter 456: All Eyes on Sect Master Shen (5K) [In the thirty-fourth millennium, the resentment of the numerous demons nearly dissipated, leaving only a few with blank expressions, who, like you, remained motionless as if turned to wood.]
Clearly, there wasn’t enough time.

Shen Yi braced himself with his hands on the ground, breathing heavily, a rare look of dishevelment on his face.

After losing the insight offered by Li Xuanqing, forcibly deducing the Tianyan Forty-Nine cultivation technique had unimaginably ravaged his divine soul.

And it wasn’t just Shen Yi himself.

Including the many demon souls that had accompanied him along the way, all had nearly faded away, even that Return to Void Realm sixth-layer Jiao General was lost within Tianyan Forty-Nine.

Not enough.

Shen Yi wiped the corner of his lips and lifted his gaze.

He must bring in another truly exceptional demon.

Otherwise, before the cultivation technique could even reach minor completion, he feared his mind might collapse.

[Remaining lifespan of the demons: 115,000 years]
Shen Yi sat up, planning to rest a bit and, at the same time, get a feel for the newly mastered cultivation technique.

At the Return to Void level, moving mountains and filling seas are but trifles.

Yet there are still those who delve into the so-called path of fists and palms.

There must be profound secrets within.

His sitting, that was for three days and nights.

His languid divine soul finally began to recover some vigor.

He stood up, took out the Dao Plate, and received a message from Liu Qianyun.

“Sect Master Shen, how are the preparations going? We’re waiting for you at the Heavenly Sword Sect. How many people have arrived? Do you need us to come and meet you?”

“Hm?”

Shen Yi put away the Dao Plate.

What about how many people have come? He had no support to speak of right now.

With that thought, he shook his head, opened the Great Formation, and slipped out.

…

Above the relief outside the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The crowd came and went in an endless stream; their sword robes were more forceful than the attire of other Alliance Sects.

Ye Wenxuan stood on the Pure Moon Sect’s treasure ship, her soul seemingly lost as she stared at the Heavenly Sword relief: “…”

This might be her last time standing here.

She looked up towards the three figures beside her. Although their cultivation was far above her own, besides the senior Zheng Qian she had met earlier, the remaining man and woman seemed not to have crossed that watershed.

Such a lineup would not be considered weak anywhere.

But in the face of the tasks recorded within the Jade Slip, it seemed somewhat insignificant.

“Do we really have to go?”

After a long silence, Ye Wenxuan finally shook her head and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Senior Zheng, but leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect does not guarantee my death; if I truly get involved in this…”

“What’s the rush?”

Zheng Qian interrupted her, looking into the distance: “The main force hasn’t arrived yet.”

With Shen Yi’s careful mind, since he dared to agree, he must have his considerations.

The affair with the Golden Fire Sparrow had already proved this point.

“…”

Liu Qianyun did not join the conversation, exchanging glances with Yan Wencheng.

Even with the meaning of a certain White Jade Capital elder, the Pure Moon Sect couldn’t afford to make discordant moves against the Heavenly Sword Sect openly.

That these three could come was still under the pretext of having a personal connection with Shen Yi.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Finally, a familiar purple and white long rainbow appeared in the sky.

The three turned curiously to look behind them but failed to notice the sudden change in Ye Wenxuan’s expression.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shen.”

Zheng Qian and company saluted with their hands, then raised their eyebrows: “That’s it? Just you alone?”

“What else?”

Shen Yi nodded slightly and stepped onto the treasure ship.

Zheng Qian, recalling her earlier words about the “main force,” suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She glanced back at Ye Wenxuan, noticed the unusual look on her face, and promptly introduced: “What are you staring for? Haven’t you greeted yet? This is the Sect Master of Nanyang.”

“…”

Ye Wenxuan swallowed hard, her gaze fixed on Shen Yi’s handsome face.

How could there be such a big gap.

Her role as an elder was acknowledged by an edict of gold and jade, while his so-called Sect Master status was self-proclaimed.

Yet no one regarded her as an elder.

In contrast, these powerful cultivators in the Return to Void Realm were able to call him “Sect Master Shen” with heartfelt respect in front of so many people.

If only she had been the one to open the Great Formation back then…

Would it now be Sect Master Ye who received everyone’s respect?

“Look at you, call the man.” Zheng Qian rolled her eyes and poked her forehead with her fingertip.

Shen Yi glanced over, then shook his head: “She is an old acquaintance; spare the formalities.”

After speaking, he nodded to Ye Wenxuan: “Sit down, let’s discuss the situation.”

Although her actions when she first left the Nanyang Sect had been less than endearing, she had nonetheless provided the Nanyang Treasure Land with a precious period of growth.

For all living creatures who survived to this day, including Shen Yi himself, this was an undeniable kindness.

“I…”

Ye Wenxuan took two steps back and sat down, her mind unsettled.

She really hadn’t expected the help these Alliance Sect seniors were waiting for to be Shen Yi.

Even more unexpectedly, his attitude was still fairly gentle – he hadn’t taken the earlier incident as an excuse to vent his anger on her.

“I’m not very clear… I’ve always been doing odd jobs at the administration hall… here.”

Ye Wenxuan had originally thought that once her status improved, she would definitely make those of the Nanyang Sect look up to her and recognize which choice was the right one.

That was why she had zoned out from embarrassment earlier.

But she suddenly found that frankly admitting she had become a menial worker didn’t seem that hard to say after all.

With that, Ye Wenxuan handed over the Jade Slip.

“Why is it called quelling a rebellion?”
