Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 680: Subduing the Dragon and the Tiger, Great Fruition

The scorching sun burned the barren earth.

The thin figure was barefoot, measuring the world with his own legs.

The chains wrapped around his arms dragged on the ground, making a clattering sound, which was the only sound here.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The young man seemed a little tired. He finally stopped and looked up at the sky.

He stared at the big sun, pursed his dry lips, then reached out and grabbed the chain on his arm, slowly untied the heavy thing, and then threw it on the ground.

The chain stirred up a cloud of dust, which was then gradually blown away like sand.

It was originally used to restrain dragons and tigers, but now that the dragons and tigers have been completely refined, it is naturally no longer useful.

[Level 4. The Great Sutra of Subduing Dragons and Subduing Tigers: Perfection]

Between the green mountains and high cliffs, Shen Yi opened his eyes, seemingly still immersed in the deduction just now, and the gleam in his pupils was fleeting.

Until I came to my senses.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the words on the panel that originally read "Dragon and Tiger Sutra" quietly change.

Fortunately, this road, which I found by accident, was finally accessible.

After a whole thousand calamities of the demon's life were poured into it, it was finally no longer a simple accumulation of calamity power, but caused the amber bead on the lotus platform in the body to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The lines of the originally dense patterns on the fruit began to recombine.

It became a brand new character.

Although Shen Yi had never seen this kind of text, he could inexplicably pronounce it: "Subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger..."

A high-level Arhat fruit that belongs to you alone!
If the fifth level is the first glimpse of the true meaning of heaven and earth, then after entering the fourth level, one will have one's own understanding of the true meaning of heaven and earth.

He traveled the world with two big demons, spent thousands of years to save them, and finally refined the two demons, bearing their sins while also digesting the power of the two demons.

One man and two demons have gone through a thousand calamities together. Now that they have joined together as one, they have the power of a full three thousand calamities!
"call."

Shen Yi's originally exhausted body instantly became full of energy under the reflection of this great fruit.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 654 kalpas]

According to simple addition and subtraction, the remaining lifespan of the demon is enough to upgrade the Taixu Dao Fruit to the fourth level.

Unfortunately, the Three Immortals Sect's stuff is not as reliable as the Bodhi Sect's skills, and they often get stuck at a certain point, wasting a lot of the demon's life.

But Shen Yi was not too worried. He raised his eyes and looked forward. The corpses of demons all over the mountains could definitely be exchanged for a lot of imperial golden pills. The two combined would be enough.

Go back and get the reward first.

After thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards Taixu as usual.

However, the next moment, he fell out with a helpless look on his face: "..."

The Dharma body of the fourth-grade Arhat is too powerful and cannot be carried by the current Taixu Dao Fruit.

Forget it, let’s just keep our feet on the ground.

Shen Yi shook his head. With his current level of traveler, even if he was traveling through mountains and rivers, his speed was actually no slower than traveling through the void.

He soon left the green mountain.

Long after he left, a staggering fat figure approached the top of the cliff, looking around in confusion.

……

On the official road leading directly to Jianyang Prefecture.

Many officers and soldiers still did not evacuate, but stared straight ahead. Without orders from above, no one could tell whether the demons had really collapsed.

Finally, for the first time, a living creature appeared in their sight.

Everyone clenched their weapons again in an instant, with a hint of nervousness on their faces. However, when they came from the end of the official road, they found themselves alone.

The man was dressed in a plain black shirt and looked quite young and unfamiliar. Even the most experienced general found it difficult to call out his name.

But judging from the direction this person was coming from and the group of monsters that had not been seen so far, it was easy to tell what had happened.

Led by several generals, everyone stood up straight with a hint of solemnity in their expressions.

Of course, respect is respect, but after all, it is just a guess, and necessary questioning cannot be skipped.

Just as a general stepped out to ask questions, many streaks of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The one in the front is an old man.

Yan Lanting was suspended in the air, looking seriously at the young man in black clothes, then he sideways glanced at Ye Lan who stepped out of the void.

He didn't mean to blame the girl for lying about military intelligence.

After all, Da Nanzhou is now divided, and there are only three titled generals in charge of the nine prefectures. None of them can be harmed easily, so it cannot be too cautious.

Yan Lanting was curious about what was going on.
"..."

Ye Lan opened her mouth. The reason why she was anxious to report back to General Yan was not only because she was really worried about Shen Yi, but also because she was the person who knew Shen Yi best.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, she had seen the other person take action several times.

Whether it is strength or fighting experience, it is difficult to find any faults among the younger generation.

But even if one takes into account the Arhat Fruit position, which is best not to be used lightly, it is still far from enough to solve the troubles of this Demon-Suppressing Tower.

But now, Shen Yi has returned calmly, and all the demons have disappeared without a trace...

In an instant, several more streams of light came.

These were all demon-slaying officials or titled generals from Great South Continent, who happened to be passing by here, heard about this, and came here to take a look following the scent.

Everyone was well aware of the rift between the three Zhennan generals after the split of Da Nanzhou.

Especially after the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva came to Xishan Mansion in person, this gap deepened again, and almost everyone was waiting for Old Man Yan to bow his head.

The two generals Feng and Yang had both heard about the big move of the three prefectures mobilizing troops.

The reason these people passed through these three prefectures was that they received transfer orders from the two generals of Zhennan. If anything really went wrong, they could control the situation.

But at this moment... let alone asking them for help, even the original resources of the three prefectures have not been used, and the imperial army blessed by the imperial aura has not even taken action, and the matter is already over.

Such a bizarre thing naturally aroused everyone's doubts.

They all looked towards the young man on the official road. He was such an unknown person, and he was all alone. It was hard to believe that this was the bizarre "reason".

Just then, a auspicious cloud swayed over.

After seeing Wushan’s pale face, everyone came to their senses: “So that’s how it is.”

If we include this fourth-grade expert, it would be almost the same.

But Wushan is making such an effort. Does this mean he is determined to stand on General Yan's side?

"How did it become like this?"

Yan Lanting glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "We are short of manpower now, so be more careful when you take action."

It is understandable that a great Taiyi Immortal could not destroy the group of monsters, after all, there were too many of them. But it was too much for him to be hurt by them.

"hiss."

Wushan glanced at Mr. Yan, who was also seriously injured, with a strange expression on his face, thinking, how dare you say that?
Unfortunately, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had eight hundred guts.

After thinking about it, Wushan shook his head: "It's just a private matter, I know it well."

"Private matter?" Yan Lanting raised his eyebrows.

Then Wushan bowed and told everything he had seen and heard, except for the final conflict with the Mahavairocana of the Bodhi sect.

After all, his relationship with Shen Yi was rather strained, and saying it out loud at this moment would sound like he was deliberately seeking credit, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

Besides, Wushan is not willing to get involved in this mess. There are too many people and it will be troublesome if it is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the three religions.

Of course, he still reminded: "There are still people from the three religions lurking in the Divine Dynasty, so you must be more careful when doing things in the future." Unfortunately, this sentence has been ignored by everyone.

Everyone, including Yan Lanting and Ye Lan, was stunned for a moment.

After all, the scene described by Wushan was somewhat inconsistent with the Shen Yi in front of him.

"When I arrived, I found that the demons had not dispersed, but had all been killed, leaving no one alive."

In addition to indicating that the disaster at the Demon-Suppressing Tower has been completely resolved, this sentence also reveals an important piece of information, which is that this matter has nothing to do with Wushan at all, and it was indeed done by General Nanyang alone.

In an instant, the entire sky fell into silence.

"..."

Feeling the many surprised looks coming at him, Shen Yi frowned slightly with some discomfort.

People who have too many things hidden in themselves don't like to be exposed to the public.

He simply bowed to Old Master Yan, then stepped past the military formation and returned to Jianyang Prefecture.

Yan Lanting watched Shen Yi leave quietly. After a long silence, his eyes suddenly looked around.

After reading it, he rubbed his shoulders and neck casually and sighed: "Some people just want to see an old man like me bow down to him, tsk."

"pity……"

A smile gradually appeared on Yan Lanting's haggard face: "I don't know if it's because of my age and stiff bones, I can't lower my head even if I want to."

As soon as these words were spoken, several titled generals immediately looked embarrassed.

General Yang sent himself and others over, but he refrained from taking action for the time being. The implication was too obvious.

It's a pity that they have no use for us at all, so even if we are ridiculed, we can only bear it.

The jade communication slip on someone's waist flickered gently.

Outside the Nine Prefectures.

In the attic.

Yang Mingli leaned back in his chair and heard the taunt clearly. He quietly clenched the cup but was reluctant to bring it to his lips.

"It's a good thing for Great Nanzhou that we have such a good general under our command. Don't be so petty." Feng Xi glanced at him helplessly and advised him softly.

"Good thing..."

Yang Mingli looked at him with a sneer on his face: "It's just a casual act of the Three Immortals Sect. The ones causing trouble are just a group of fifth-grade demons. If we can make that old thing wake up through this little fight, it will be a real good thing."

"What if the three religions come for real next time?"

"It's just an old fool who doesn't know his place, and the nonsense of a little kid!"

"You..." Feng Xi clenched her hands, sighed softly, and shifted her gaze to the side.

"I won't explain to you. One day, you will know that I am right." Yang Mingli put down the cup and strode out of the attic.

……

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen’s residence.

Shen Yi had just returned to the yard when Ye Lan followed.

She stared at the back of this junior fellow apprentice, her clear eyes flickering. Even when they were in the blue sea last time, she discovered that the other party had made rapid progress, far beyond ordinary people.

But at this moment, Ye Lan, who knew that he could never deal with the group of vicious people in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, was still shocked.

At what point did the young man unknowingly walk ahead of him?

It was so quiet and calm that she didn't even notice it. This was not the temperament of an ambitious young man.

"Is there something wrong?" Shen Yi looked back.

"No...no." Ye Lan waved her hands, suppressing the waves in her heart: "I just want to remind you that you have to take some time to accompany me back to Shenxu Mountain."

“When the Jiedan comes out of the furnace, its medicinal power is at its strongest. Therefore, the peak master of Danfeng must return to the mountain regularly to refine the elixir for Ancestor Shenxu.”

"Got it." Shen Yi nodded. He used the false title of the peak master quite handy. Moreover, when he was deducing the Taixu Alchemy Dao, his attainments in alchemy improved a lot. By then, it would be enough to subsidize the demon's lifespan for three to five tribulations at most, which was not too expensive.

And as far as he knew.

After reaching the fourth level, if one wants to break through further, what is needed is the true Daluo Dao fruit, or the Bodhisattva fruit position.

It is unlikely that one can attain the Bodhisattva status.

After all, such a precious item would not be stolen by a traitor in the sect like the Dragon and Tiger Sutra last time, right?

Even if the Bodhi Sect did it on purpose, it would not be possible to just throw away such a sacred object.

The Lotus Platform Method is the bait, and the Arhat Sutra is the hook. When you have reached the Bodhisattva stage, you must pull the line no matter what.

Bodhi teaches one to fish in the world.

Shen Yi felt that he was now one of the fish in that group, with his mouth already biting the hook.

If it weren't for the panel demon life supporting his dual cultivation, and if he was lucky enough to join the Shenxu Immortal Sect, if he were an ordinary cultivator who reached the realm of Great Arhat, how could he resist the temptation of the Great Dao? He would definitely go to the door and voluntarily join the Bodhi Sect.

If you can find another way out in Shenxu Immortal Sect, it will naturally be a better choice.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt a lot more relieved.

If one could ascend to the fourth grade in both Qi Refining and Walking, or even reach the third grade, then all problems would be solved.

Normally speaking, when he became a fifth-grade Taiyi Immortal, Hongze's problem would be solved.

Normally, no one would trouble a Taiyi Immortal, especially the prestigious Lord of Shenxu Mountain, for a purple-bearded white dragon.

But the difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that... the Qingluan Immortal General seems to be mentally ill and cannot look at things with common sense at all.

Shen Yi must be prepared to fight him.

The achievement of subduing dragons and taming tigers alone can at most be on par with the immortal seal, which may not be enough.

Don’t forget, apart from the Immortal Seal, Qingluan herself is also a genius of the Immortal Sect!
"Congratulations, General Nanyang!"

At this moment, a figure descended from the sky and without any further ado, handed over five golden pills, all of which were Hundred Tribulations Pills!
"So fast?"

Ye Lan was a little surprised. You know, this time is different from the last time.

The last time, the Imperial Golden Pill that killed the Arhat was made by General Yan himself, but this time it was obviously the Demon-Slaying Division that was used.

This titled general who came to distribute rewards was under the command of Lord Feng.

In other words, Lord Feng not only had been paying attention to this matter, but also approved the memorial immediately after it was over, without any intention of stopping it.

But that's also a good thing.

This means that in addition to General Yan, there is another General Zhennan who has a good impression of Shen Yi. If he encounters any problems in the future, he may be able to seek help from Lord Feng.

Five hundred kalpas?
Shen Yi held the heavy golden pill in his hand. Although he was not very happy, his words of thanks became much more sincere: "Thank you, Senior."

As long as he is willing to pay, he is a good boss.

Now the chances of Taixu Daoguo breaking through to the fourth level are much greater!

"The above matters have nothing to do with us. We are just following orders." The visitor smiled without any airs. After all, the matter of the Demon Suppression Tower has proved many things: "General Nanyang is young and promising. We should have more exchanges in the future."

In official matters, they naturally could not disobey an order from General Zhennan, and even if the same thing happened next time, nothing would change.

But in private... we are all monks, and discussing the Dao with each other is a win-win situation.

"Farewell."

The titled general did not stay long. After a few brief greetings, he flew away on a cloud.

After the other party left, Shen Yi turned around and took out the alchemy furnace, his eyes somewhat burning.

The things that had troubled him for so long should finally come to an end.
