Chapter 999: Chapter 647: Why Does the Venerable Preach_2 Chapter 999: Chapter 647: Why Does the Venerable Preach_2 Monk Zhi Kong could hardly imagine what asures the senior mbers of his sect would take to te out punishnt upon learning of this matter.
Fortunately, neither he nor his two senior brothers had ever mastered the Golden Lotus Skill.
It was not sothing one could easily acquire.
Even having perfected the Sixth Tribulation Lotus Platform, one still had to be valued by a Venerable, almost as a half-disciple, and pass their test in order to obtain this thod and step into the realm of a Traveler Jin Lian.
Imdiately thereafter, one would pick their Dao Fruit Position and beco a Dharma Protector Arhat under the Venerable’s lotus platform.
Immortal Fellow Shen was treading a path that led to death; thankfully, there was a piece missing in that path.
“It has nothing to do with Master Zhi Kong.”
Shen Yi carefully put away the Golden Scroll and turned around shaking his head.
[Seventh Grade. Sixth Tribulation Lotus Platform thod: Uninitiated]
“So it was Officer Shen’s doing, right?” ng Xiuwen grinned through clenched teeth. He had already noticed Shen Yi was no easy character, which is why he found it amusing when Ye Lan appointed Shen Yi as the acting Demon Slayer Officer.
But he never imagined that the other could be so ruthless.
Joining hands with disciples of the Bodhi Sect, they directly slaughtered the other two travelers, killing for the thod. Can you believe this is sothing a person from the Imperial Court would do?
The craziest part was that Shen Yi had won.
A Sixth Tribulation Traveler nearly represented the upper limit of strength in the Seventh Grade Realm. Even Monk Zhi Kong would be sowhat inferior, and Ye Jing would hardly make any difference in such a magical duel.
The opponent, a re unaffiliated immortal, not only won but also killed two at once.
It would be unbelievable if this story were told.
“Sigh.”
ng Xiuwen sighed, gestured to summon a blade of light to start disposing of the bodies, but then he noticed an invisible fla landing on another corpse.
He paused montarily, looked over at Shen Yi, and their movents were so familiar. Their eyes t briefly before they tacitly looked away.
“Can we talk?”
After dealing with the disposal of the bodies, ng Xiuwen dropped his unserious deanor and beca unusually serious.
Even if the killing of the Bodhi Sect’s disciples could be known to Monk Zhi Kong, things involving the Demon Slayer Bureau couldn’t be revealed to him.
“Okay.”
Shen Yi nodded slightly and followed ng out of the house.
Being able to remain safe in Jianyang Prefecture and not have to flee everywhere after doing so many things was exactly because of his identity in the Demon Slayer Bureau.
But it was clear that even this identity had its limits.
No matter how sheltering a large tree is, it can’t allow its subordinates to act recklessly forever.
“You will always need to find a master in the future, you can’t keep going like this.”
ng Xiuwen stopped walking slowly and handed over a liquor gourd: “Learning a bit of this and that, you seem to have many thods and strong power, but without reaching the Fifth Grade, these are just minor tricks. Whether you aim for Dao Fruit or a fruit position, you will inevitably need to pick one soday.”
“These things, you can’t obtain them by yourself; you need others to teach you.”
“However, entering our line of work is akin to being rejected by all three teachings, including other Immortal Sects. It’s very unlikely that they will take us in anymore, and you’ll probably have to learn from the predecessors within the industry.”
At this point, ng Xiuwen exhibited self-mockery: “Don’t end up like , talking about doing whatever you please and acting chivalrously, yet in the eyes of the elders, I’m just a thorn who resists discipline, always a problem, and nobody dares to pick us.”
“Talking about the strongest Demon Slayer Officer… no matter how strong, in the end, you won’t get a title, find a master, and remain stuck in the Sixth Grade, unable to progress further.”
“…”
Shen Yi listened quietly and took a sip of the cloudy wine.
Sotis, it wasn’t about intentionally causing trouble, but not being able to stand by and wishing to intervene.
From the beginning to today, having gone through countless events great and small, he had never been able to shake off this botherso habit.
“Enough.”
Seeing Shen Yi in this state, ng Xiuwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he saw himself back in the day, knowing well that reasoning was utterly futile.
He patted the young man’s shoulder and skirted the topic, “Do you know that whether it’s a Heavenly Immortal or a Traveler Jin Lian, these Sixth Grade Realms are rely a transition? Of course, this transition is also very important as it determines what kind of Dao Fruit you can bear in the future.”
“True Immortal Six Tribulations, Heavenly Immortal is also Six Tribulations, adding up to twelve in total. However, for most Dao Fruits, Nine Tribulations would be sufficient.”
“You have learned so many skills, and have excelled in each, which shows your excellent aptitude. Find a good ntor, complete your journey to Perfection, and perhaps pluck a superb Dao Fruit, then this life would also be considered complete.”
“In life, one must always have sothing to look forward to.”
He withdrew his hand and smiled at Shen Yi, “Understand?”
“Not quite.”
Shen Yi shook his head, uncertain why the other party suddenly brought up these matters.
“Ah,” ng Xiuwen, frustrated like a blacksmith forging ineffectual iron, outstretched his hand and vigorously rubbed his hair, “What I an is, you really don’t need to go around robbing like a bandit!”
“Ye Lan! That’s the path you should truly pursue. Just make her feel a bit of fondness towards you. The Taixu Dao Fruit she plucked ranks among the top ten in the seventy-two categories—a fine thing indeed!”
From Shen Yi’s current behavior, he was only making Ye Lan trust him less and less, would this not be like losing a waterlon to pick up a sesa seed!
“I rember she said she wanted to take you with her to the eting; it’s a good opportunity. Don’t ss it up, show your best, and besides, with your talent for offending people and making mortal enemies, other than her, I can hardly think of anyone else who can protect you.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi slightly raised his eyes.
Taixu Dao Fruit… it indeed sounded tantalizing.
To be honest, he knew the Path of the Traveler was not sustainable for himself, especially since he killed three disciples even before joining their sects. He couldn’t rely purely on luck, hoping that every ti would be as easy as when he stumbled upon the Dragon Tiger Scripture.
Probably plucking the Dragon Tiger Fruit Position was his limit. Hoping to obtain more advanced techniques and thods was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In the end, he still had to return to the path of immortality.
However, forming good relations with won was sothing he was genuinely not skilled in.
“So what exactly is this eting about?” Shen Yi looked sideways, wanting to perform well, he needed to understand in advance.
Unexpectedly, ng Xiuwen also frowned slightly, “Actually, I’m not very sure either. The Bodhi Sect and Three Immortals Sect are different after all, not following the sa path. They maintain their teachings strictly confidential. Even if the Venerables preach, they invite Traveler Arhats to listen.”
“But this ti is different.”
“That Venerable has widely distributed Buddha Stickers without any reservations. Many Immortal Sects have received the invitations, and many immortals will attend the ceremony. It’s unclear what precisely this Venerable intends to preach.”
Saying this, ng Xiuwen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chill emanating from his pupils, “This matter involves too much, it has already caused a significant disturbance, even the Imperial Capital is paying great attention.”
“You know what a Venerable is. Just in terms of strength, he’s equivalent to a Third Grade Immortal Official. In their Bodhi Sect, he would be revered as a Bodhisattva!”
“Such a distinguished figure shrouded in mystery, how can ordinary people fathom his deep intentions? It just makes one feel vaguely uneasy.”
ng Xiuwen took a deep breath. Such a grand event, for most cultivators, was no less than the Imperial Court distributing disaster relief food. But for the Demon Slayer Bureau, it was a headache.
“I understand.”
Shen Yi nodded his head, he could almost confirm now that General Yan Lan was rely bringing him to listen to the teachings, in other words, simply granting him an opportunity.
This matter involved a third grade giant, a re Seventh Grade cultivator could play no effective role.
However, no matter what, he would first enhance his strength a bit. Should he encounter any danger, it would also increase his chances of survival.
With this thought, Shen Yi bid farewell to ng Xiuwen and returned to the inn.
He picked an empty room, then called out the Spirit Light Rat to guard the door.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly closing his eyes.
Ever since his last tribulation, Shen Yi reminisced continuously about that feeling of unity between Heaven and man. Now with a new precious scripture protecting his Divine Soul, he could finally move forward.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: One hundred sixty-seven tribulations]
Instantly, the Demon Lifespan Years poured into the Sixth Tribulation Lotus Platform thod.
The Lotus Platform within Shen Yi’s body once again sprouted new petals.
