Chapter 1214: Chapter 737: Return to Shenxu Mountain

The dharma aspect dissipated like golden sand, vanishing into the wind alongside the rosy glow.

The majestic silhouette’s outline gradually faded into the sky curtain.

Shen Yi did not, as he usually did, quietly withdraw but landed on the city wall, slowly turning to look into the city.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, this single ink-colored figure remained, even if it seemed thin and small compared to the Bodhisattva Method, it still captured everyone’s gaze.

Shen Yi simply disliked such occasions, but it did not mean he was foolish enough to let the Bodhi Sect claim the fruits of victory without reason.

Today, if it had been anyone else present, even any of the other Generals of Southern Defense, the citizens of the Divine Dynasty would have believed that the one who subdued the Great Demon was a Bodhisattva.

But Shen Yi, who had already become famous worldwide after the last incident at Songfeng Prefecture, was not included among them.

Sure enough, after the citizens of the Prefecture City slightly recovered from their awe.

Experienced individuals exclaimed in surprise, “General Nanyang!”

Even if most people didn’t even know which government office this general belonged to or which army he commanded, these four simple words were enough to make them cheer wildly.

The deeds of single-handedly wiping out the Demon Army outside Songfeng Prefecture had long been turned into stories and were being passed down among the people.

Seeing it was almost enough, Shen Yi then leaped into the mansion.

Just as he stepped into the courtyard, Monk Zhi Kong, who had witnessed the entire battle himself, welcomed him with eyes full of light.

From initial trepidation and fear to Officer Shen revealing his Dharma Aspect, causing the Black Sea to reverse, Zhi Kong, being a Walker of the Bodhi Sect, had finally personally witnessed the legendary Bodhisattva’s Divine Power.

The light wheel manifesting the heavens had already faintly taken on a Buddhist aspect.

Inspiring others to involuntarily want to worship.

At this moment, he repeatedly opened his mouth, but was unable to utter any words.

“I have important matters at hand, and I need the Master to stay here a bit longer.”

Shen Yi stood with his hands down, interrupting the other’s daze.

To be honest, surviving today’s tribulation made even him feel a bit fortunate.

Even though he had done his best to guess the Southern Emperor’s intentions, throughout the process, if he misjudged even one point, the Great Southern Continent could have been destroyed overnight.

When he left at that time, Shen Yi deliberately displayed a swaggering attitude to test this Great Demon’s character.

The opponent’s response, however, seemed somewhat humble.

Even if he dared not truly act against the Bodhi Sect’s Venerable, at least verbally, there should have been some recovery of face, yet the Southern Emperor accepted it just like that.

One who can endure what ordinary people cannot, surely has grand schemes.

And such a Great Demon is likely not content to merely become a tool in the Bodhi Sect’s hands.

It had fled to Shen Zhou for so many years, making it difficult for the citizens of the Divine Dynasty to forget its atrocities, how could it be willing to tarnish its name now.

Luckily, the gamble paid off.

In this way, Shen Yi finally saw some chance of victory.

[Slain Third Grade Nether Sea Ape King, total lifespan Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining Lifespan Years seven thousand two hundred tribulations, absorbed fully]

[Slain Third Grade Thick-Maned White Bull, total lifespan Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining Lifespan Years eight thousand eight hundred tribulations, absorbed fully]

[Slain Third Grade Linghua Sky-reaching Python, total lifespan Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining Lifespan Years eight thousand nine hundred tribulations, absorbed fully]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: twenty-five thousand one hundred tribulations]

If nothing out of the ordinary happens, this demon lifespan should be enough to elevate one’s cultivation to ninety-six in number, only one step away from the Ninety-nine Changes of Third Grade Perfection.

After completing the Sixty-six Changes, the general framework of the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect is already formed, and all that’s left is to complete it.

But the problem is, the remaining two thousand Lifespan Years are already hard to gather.

Below Third Grade, there were not many in the Divine Dynasty, mostly from the three Great Demons, but after this battle, they are nearly extinct, finding dozens more is almost impossible.

As for above Third Grade, across the entire Great Southern Continent, Shen Yi currently knows only the Southern Emperor and another Great Demon.

Perhaps he can only consider other ways from outside.

But this actually is not the most urgent matter.

After resolving this demon calamity, the Southern Emperor will certainly fail to deliver, and he himself will have a headache dealing with the Three Immortals Sect’s issues.

“All listen to Officer Shen’s arrangement.”

Monk Zhi Kong always heard that, whenever a great calamity occurred, there would inevitably be an unparalleled person to respond.

But he only regarded it as a beautiful vision.

Until he saw Officer Shen himself, he finally understood what this so-called “unparalleled” truly meant.

Transcending worldly understanding, surpassing all common logic.

From fighting Seventh Grade Walkers to slicing through the Three Great Demon Venerables, what most cultivators could never accomplish in a lifetime, Officer Shen achieved in a blink of an eye.

“But…” Monk Zhi Kong raised his head, suddenly remembering something, “In this way, although the citizens of the Divine Dynasty know the demon exterminator is not from the Bodhi Sect, your identity as General Nanyang would be exposed to the Bodhi Sect, isn’t it?”

If the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva finds out that the reason Southern Continent cannot be breached lies within the sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I said, the news here they won’t be able to take away.”

Shen Yi, however, smiled lightly, with a confidence imbued in his words.

His confidence is not without foundation.

After today, the Great Southern Continent will have seven entire Third Grade Town Stones guarding it, along with countless other Town Stones. Unless the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva personally comes, no one can send the happenings of the Divine Dynasty to the outside world.

With that, he walked straight into the building.

If he cannot reach Ninety-nine for now, then he will first forge an army of peerless Town Stones.
