Begin immortality by slaying demons

With the death of Daoist Jin Lei, the last array component controlling the Divine Void Immortal Array also lost its luster.

The veil in the sky dissipated into starlight, and the gray mist and golden river also quickly vanished.

The Shen residence returned to silence, and the restrictions of the array were gone.

However, under the gaze of the young man in the courtyard, everyone present felt an unprecedented pressure, not daring to even breathe loudly, let alone leave.

The junior of the past, right before their eyes, had beaten their master to death with his own fists.

“……”

Ye Lan stood behind Shen Yi, staring at his slightly thin figure after the Buddhist light had dissipated.

Her shoulders suddenly trembled slightly.

The ten Hundred Tribulation Golden Pills from Divine Void Mountain could actually be exchanged for revenge, causing a Grand Luo Immortal to perish.

This deal, even in the vast world, was probably the most worthwhile.

Thousands of words choked in her throat, finally only spitting out two simple words.

She rubbed her eyes: "Thank you."

Shen Yi turned around, glanced at her, and casually replied: "I'm just doing my job, no need to be polite."

In fact, whether Ye Lan was involved or not, from the moment the Divine Void Ancestor revealed his greedy and gluttonous gaze, only one of them could survive.

Hearing this, Ye Lan's eyes were red and swollen, but she couldn't help but smile: “……”

Shen Yi's lips slightly curled up, but he quickly suppressed his smile and looked at the many peak masters in the field again.

He didn't have to wait long.

Daoist Qian Feng quickly understood his meaning. After a slight pause, he took the lead in cupping his hands: "We unworthy disciples pay our respects to the Divine Void Ancestor!"

Perhaps in the entire Three Immortal Teachings, there was no precedent for a Bodhisattva to control an immortal vein.

But considering that this "Bodhisattva" had just intercepted the scriptures that the Bodhi Teaching wanted to send to the imperial capital of the Divine Dynasty, it was likely that his relationship with those monks was not good either.

In addition, if they disobeyed their master's orders, any immortal sect could kill them in the name of righteousness.

It seemed there was no other choice.

"We unworthy disciples pay our respects to the Divine Void Ancestor!"

With Daoist Qian Feng taking the lead, the remaining peak masters no longer hesitated and respectfully saluted the young man.

The collapse of etiquette began with the extermination of Dan Peak.

It was the master who devoured his disciple first.

Since the previous Divine Void Ancestor had set this precedent, then everyone didn't seem to have anything to be stubborn about.

"No need to be polite."

Shen Yi waved his sleeve lightly. He wasn't very satisfied with the title of Divine Void Ancestor, feeling it was a bit unlucky.

But now that the Third Grade Dao Fruit hadn't been formed yet, he couldn't come up with a new name.

Compared to the endless troubles of killing Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, this time, the fall of an old demon who had been dormant in the Void Realm for many years, and the fact that the Three Immortal Teachings were not as closely connected as the Bodhi Teaching, wasn't so troublesome.

"Alright, everyone go back first."

Shen Yi didn't have the habit of leaving restrictive marks in other people's bodies. For things that truly involved his life, he preferred to nip them in the bud.

Those peak masters who weren't very familiar with the young man were somewhat incredulous when they heard this, looking at each other in dismay.

As witnesses who had personally witnessed the other party's "master-killing", they could get away so easily?

Seeing this, Ye Lan didn't intend to persuade them.

Two of the eight peak masters were now missing, one died in front of everyone, and the whereabouts of the other, Mu Yang, they would understand what happened after they went back and thought about it.

With this precedent here, who would be so foolish.

Besides, even if Shen Yi acted as a hands-off manager, wouldn't he be ten thousand times better than the Divine Void Ancestor, who slept all the time and only woke up to eat and drink.

"We take our leave."

Daoist Qian Feng retreated from the courtyard with great tact.

This new ancestor could reside in the Divine Dynasty for a long time and personally participated in the scripture transmission. It would be a lie to say that he had nothing to do with the imperial court.

Staying here would only bring unnecessary trouble to the other party.

"If the Ancestor has any instructions, please let Lan'er pass the word. The eight peaks and hundreds of mountains of the Divine Void Immortal Sect will dare not disobey."

Soon, everyone disappeared silently in Jianyang Prefecture.

"For the next period of time, I'll have to trouble you to take care of these prefectures."

Shen Yi looked at Ye Lan. Although the town stones could take on most of the demon-slaying responsibilities, they couldn't appear and communicate with people after all. Some official matters still needed her to do.

"Don't worry…"

Ye Lan's voice hadn't finished when she froze again.

She saw the other party casually throwing a jade pendant, its golden appearance causing a shock to the mind with just a glance.

"This is… the Southern Suppressing General's Seal?!"

"Shhh."

Shen Yi gently stopped her exclamation: "I'm going to leave for a while. It's inconvenient to carry this thing with me, so please keep it for me first."

Demon Slaying Seals were equivalent to immortal seals, and no cultivator dared to easily transfer them to others.

Except for Shen Yi.

After all, his experiences along the way had made him lose all respect for these external objects.

The place he was going to was indeed not suitable for carrying things from the imperial court. If he was discovered, even a hundred or ten similar tokens wouldn't be able to save his life.

Moreover, although the town stones were strong, they weren't very effective against Third Grade experts. Relying on Old Man Yan alone felt a bit like he was stretched thin.

“……”

Ye Lan wanted to remind Shen Yi to be careful on the way, but when she looked down at the token in her hand, she couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

The young man who once needed her help to regulate his realm had now become a Bodhisattva and a Grand Luo Immortal, and in the blink of an eye, he had become the Southern Suppressing General.

Such a person, how could he need others to worry.

It's just a pity… she really wanted to thank him properly.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Ye Lan carefully put away the token and looked up earnestly.

"Go."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, sending the girl away.

When he returned to the courtyard, the black dog was already waiting at the door: "Lord Shen, are you really going?"

"Of course I'm going."

During this period of time, Shen Yi not only obtained many demon-subduing methods from the broken fruit position, but also consulted Grandmaster Zhi Kong about many things in the teaching.

The higher you stand, the farther you can see.

After becoming a true Bodhisattva, one realizes how terrifying the foundation of the so-called Three Teachings is.

What he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.

Shen Yi still trusted his intuition.

After the scripture transmission, the Three Teachings seemed to fall into a strange silence, but the quieter it was, the more alarming it was.

The fall of a few second-generation talents wasn't enough to make them give up.

These gods, Buddhas, and immortals were obviously hesitating…

It wasn't until after going to the imperial capital that Shen Yi finally understood the thoughts of the Three Teachings. They did want to replace the emperor, but they didn't want to make things too big.

At least it couldn't involve the real high-level members of the teaching.

That's why they let their disciples come forward.

But now, after the second-generation disciples suffered heavy casualties, the question that the real high-level members of the Three Teachings need to face is whether it's worth taking the risk of entering the tribulation to replace the emperor.

Therefore, Shen Yi must go to South Sumeru Mountain to find out what they are thinking now, and also take the opportunity to resolve the matter of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva's fall.

However, before leaving, it's best to make sufficient preparations to make up for the foundation lost by losing the Demon Slaying Seal.

Even if he has obtained the Bodhisattva fruit position, Shen Yi doesn't think he can cause any waves in South Sumeru Mountain, where there is a true Buddha sitting.

Nowadays, compared to the strength of fighting, the means of preserving life are more important.

And when it comes to preserving life, what can compare to the Void Dao Fruit.

Back in the house.

Shen Yi first spent more than 1,300 tribulations to reshape the Six-Winged Soul Insect.

This great demon who had reached the Third Grade, now reborn, could only obediently submit and quickly record a book of Taoism.

[Third Grade. True Image Void Transformation Taoism: Not yet entered]

All the Third Grade cultivation methods, whether they are Taoist scriptures or great sutras, must be related to a certain order of the heavenly way.

Different from the "power of protecting the Dao" comprehended by the Spiritual Might Great Sutra, what this Taoist scripture comprehends is the "power of nothingness", which belongs to the branch of the heavenly way. The effects are different, and it's difficult to say whether there is any superiority.

"Hoo."

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that these two major branches of the heavenly way obviously govern completely different directions.

This is also why Shen Yi felt the sky was light and the earth was heavy at the Fifth Grade realm, almost falling into this tearing sensation.

After mastering the power of protecting the Dao, the difficulty of mastering this power of nothingness is doubled.

But Shen Yi wasn't very worried.

After all…

He glanced at the trembling Six-Winged Soul Insect next to him and suddenly squeezed it into the panel, accompanying him to comprehend this great Dao.

……

South Sumeru Mountain, the land of the Future Buddha.

Although it's a mountain name.

But after crossing the two boundary peaks that look like bull horns facing each other, one realizes that the inside is a world of its own.

Auspicious mist is like clouds, and Buddhist sounds surround the ears.

In this pure land, there are tens of thousands of mountains of all sizes.

And in front of the main hall of one of the majestic mountains, the novice monks came and went, all looking helplessly at the towering giant tree outside the door.

It stood there like this.

Phoenixes perched on it and phoenixes cried, their voices filled with grief, and even the Buddhist sounds were temporarily suppressed.

"Senior Tianwu, please come into the hall for a talk."

A highly respected old monk stood under the giant tree, asking for who knows how many times.

"Except for the World Cleansing Bodhisattva, I won't see anyone."

A dull voice came from the towering giant tree.

"The Venerable is indeed busy with important matters and has no time to receive guests…" The old monk smiled stiffly, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Then I'll wait here, I always need an explanation!" The giant tree responded coldly.

Just then, a figure finally strolled out of the hall.

He was tall and handsome, unlike the other monks who wore yellow robes, he was wearing a beautiful and gorgeous bright red kasaya, with silver dots on it, like the starry sky.

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Since you are willing to enter the tribulation, why are you afraid of death."

"Are you an ignorant child who is splashing and rolling?"

Three consecutive sentences added a bit of hostility to the young monk's handsome face.

"Afraid of death?"

The giant tree was furious: "I just want to know, why are my two disciples who entered the tribulation dying so unclearly? My Xuanwu and Qingluan disciples are all peerless geniuses…"

"If they are truly peerless geniuses, why would they die? If they are just people with empty names, what's the pity in dying."

The young monk's words left the giant tree speechless.

"Golden Toad!"

The giant tree dissipated with the wind, turning into a middle-aged man in a green shirt full of anger: "You junior, without respect for elders, dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"

The monk called Golden Toad smiled slightly: "In terms of status, I am a disciple appointed by the Future World Honored One, on par with your teaching's Hunyuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal. In terms of realm, I have already obtained the Bodhisattva fruit position, do you want to try?"

As he spoke, a rich Buddhist light emerged from behind him, and his majestic aura was not weaker than the previous giant tree.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Tianwu was slightly stunned, then laughed in anger: "As expected of the Future Buddha's disciple, having received such a cultivation gift as soon as you entered the realm, and even putting on the kasaya in advance, aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of overstepping your bounds!"

Hearing this, the young monk's eyelids twitched slightly, and a few more hints of anger appeared in his eyes. He smiled insincerely: "Anyway, I'm always going to wear it, so why bother caring about the time."

As everyone knows, the Future Buddha holds two paths leading directly to the lotus platform, one is called Golden Toad, and the other is called Golden Cicada.

Now the position of Golden Cicada is vacant.

In other words, from the moment he was observed to have a Buddhist heart and obtained the name of Golden Toad, it was already destined that he would become a Buddha in the future, wearing a kasaya and sitting high on the lotus platform.

"Besides, you didn't just lose one disciple."

"Instead of yelling at Divine Void Mountain, you came to my South Sumeru to play rogue. Are you afraid of him and bullying my Bodhi Teaching for being good-tempered?"

Bodhisattva Golden Toad said that he didn't need to care, but he quickly changed the subject and tightened the kasaya on his body by the way.

"Afraid of a worm demon?"

Old Ancestor Tianwu really forgot about the kasaya and mocked: "If that bookworm dares to come out of the Void, see if I will tear off its wings with my own hands."

"Heh."

Bodhisattva Golden Toad was too lazy to argue with him, sneered, and turned to walk towards the hall.

"In any case, the World Cleansing Bodhisattva will not see someone like you who is splashing and rolling."

"If you really can't afford to lose, then keep waiting in front of this hall, which can also add some greenery to this Buddhist mountain, making people happy to look at."

"Can't afford to lose…" Old Ancestor Tianwu was stunned, staring at the back of the young monk, his face twitching wildly, finally turning into a grim smile: "You are a dog who hides in Sumeru Mountain and doesn't come out, even the scripture transmission is left to others to do, waiting to eat for free in the back, and you are also mocking me, the old ancestor."

"I'll wait for you in the mortal world!"

"If you have the guts, let's see the truth in the tribulation!"

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of light and fled, all the way out of Southern Sumeru.

The other monks also stopped discussing and stared at the direction in which Old Ancestor Tianwu had left.

He was probably the first third-rank cultivator to simply and decisively declare his entry into the tribulation; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he set a precedent!

After the shock, they withdrew their gazes and looked back at the front of the hall.

"..."

Bodhisattva Golden Toad lowered his eyes, staring at the bright red kasaya on his body, and slowly stopped walking.

The sinister look in his eyes gradually intensified.

A wild cultivator who couldn't even reach the threshold of a Golden Immortal, a lowly being who rarely even had the qualification to listen to the Three Pure Ones teaching the Dharma, actually dared to clamor in front of him, the future True Buddha.

See the truth under your hand?

"Seeking death!"
