Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 328 - 326: A Large Amount of Incense Willpower_1
Chapter 328: Chapter 326: A Large Amount of Incense Willpower_1
“Zhu Jue Fellow Daoist’s extensive knowledge and insights are truly admirable,” said Hong De with genuine respect.
In a relatively intact hall of the Li State Instrument Sect.
Xu Hongde bowed slightly, his face flushed with pride as he tried to conceal his delight.
He had not expected that the Xu family, after years of obscurity, would be so well-known even to the eminent Great Qian.
“Traveling widely, one naturally sees more, but it’s hardly a remarkable skill,” responded Zhu Jue with a smile, returning the gesture.
Behind him, Wu Dao’an rolled his eyes in silence; thousands of years spent in the Armory, thumbing through those outdated texts, familiarity was a given.
...
To claim he traveled widely—Wu had never seen him leave his abode.
“Please be assured, our Xu family’s formations, while perhaps not capable of fending off top experts, will certainly hold their ground against ordinary Transcendent Cultivators for three to five days, given sufficient time,” boasted the sixth ancestor of the Xu family, gulping down his wine and speaking somewhat recklessly, even bypassing Xu Hongde, the clan leader, as he began to discuss alliance matters.
“Be careful, or the fifth ancestor might rebuke you when you return,” warned Xu Hongde with a knowing smile, glancing at the others while covertly sending a message via a goose egg stone to the sixth ancestor, whose face was nearly splitting with laughter.
Lacking in experience, his ability to interact with others was nearly non-existent.
Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Zhu from Great Qian seemed understanding, and he wasn’t rushing into the details of the alliance talks.
“…”
Zhu Jue stealthily glanced towards the door.
Why hasn’t Junior Brother Shen returned yet? He was barely able to hold on.
About the time it takes an incense stick to burn down.
Finally, that figure leisurely made his appearance.
“Discussing, I see.”
Shen Yi looked toward the group and nodded slightly, “We can get down to business.”
He had demonstrated nearly everything that he wished to show to the Xu family—if that was still insufficient, then this alliance was truly unnecessary.
“I plan on having the sixth ancestor stay in Great Qian to help Officer Shen with some planning,” declared Xu Hongde as he stood up.
“I’ll discuss it with the fifth ancestor and give you a prompt reply,” he added.
Shen Yi glanced outside, “Let me escort you part of the way.”
Sacrificing a bit of time now ensured future freedom—he was clear about this arithmetic.
“No need for the trouble,” Xu Hongde said with a chuckle, shaking his head.
“If the Xu family lacks the skills and courage to return home, there’s no point in venturing out.”
“Take care on your journey,” said Shen Yi, pausing to reflect, still somewhat anxious.
“Do you have some sort of formation for contact?”
The range of the goose egg stone was too limited, although it was difficult for others to intercept its signal.
Xu Hongde nodded and said, “If there’s an issue, I will notify the sixth ancestor, and he can also construct a transmission formation in the Great Qian Imperial City.”
Without further delay, he bid farewell to the group and set off on his flying boat, departing the Instrument Sect.
“Shall we return to Qingzhou now?” asked Xu Wanyun, still concerned about her young niece.
“You go on ahead and check in. I still have some matters to attend to,” replied Shen Yi before turning to face the people from Great Qian and invoking a damaged Golden Bead.
Zhu Jue’s expression turned grave at the sight.
To see the Golden Body so ravaged, he couldn’t begin to imagine what dire peril Junior Brother Shen had faced.
And yet, Shen’s calm demeanor bore no hint of recounting past hardships.
Sorrow unexpectedly surged within Zhu Jue’s heart.
Their own comfort always came at the cost of someone else’s silent endurance.
“I need a substantial amount of Incense Willpower,” stated Shen Yi, getting straight to the point.
Without hesitation, Zhu Jue produced a golden jade key, “My share is yours.”
Yet Shen Yi did not reach for it, softly saying, “Brother Zhu, when I say a substantial amount, I mean it.”
Then, with a casual glance, he surveyed the several temple keepers present.
“…”
The temple priests looked at each other.
They actually had no objections because what they said didn’t really count.
Moreover, they couldn’t understand what Shen Yi would do with so much Incense Willpower.
Only Wu Dao’an was slightly taken aback.
He then widened his eyes in astonishment.
Is this… another breakthrough?!
…
In the Great Qian Imperial City,
the city inside remained as busy as ever, only those of real status had anxiety weighing on their hearts.
No matter what they were doing, from time to time, they couldn’t help but glance towards the distance.
However, at this moment inside the Martial Temple, the crowd had already returned.
In the vast hall, there was only the terrifying Golden Body Dharma Identity and the Zhu Jue sitting on the altar, gently patting the feet of the ancestor.
Wu Dao’an, with his arms crossed, stood outside the door in dull displeasure.
Being a bit more advanced in cultivation is so great, huh?
How can one sit on the altar, showing such disrespect to those elders.
Zhu Jue, fearing the ancestor wouldn’t understand, repeated every matter several times.
Whenever the Furious Arhat was about to fall into slumber,
He would pinch the spell to wake the other party up, and then continue explaining.
“Good! Know! I!” the Furious Arhat roared.
“You see, don’t be hasty,” Zhu Jue began his sixty-fourth explanation at an unhurried pace.
“Can do! All!” The Furious Arhat was on the verge of collapse.
“But without the Incense Willpower, the Imperial City will be in a void; if foreign enemies were to invade…” Zhu Jue looked up.
“Kill, wake me up, cut them all down!”
Hearing the words from inside the Martial Temple, Wu Dao’an held out his hand towards his fellow colleagues.
The remaining temple priests then took out the Golden Scroll and passed it over.
The last time they saw Shen Yi, he had just been a new cultivator in the Imperial City, only favored by that old Wu ghost.
Now it seemed, it wasn’t just favoritism but rather exceptional discernment.
In the past, they were worried that Shen Yi taking the Incense Willpower might betray Great Qian, but now there was no need for concern, because given the battle at the Li State Instrument Sect, he didn’t need Incense Willpower to harm Great Qian.
Wu Dao’an glanced at Zhu Jue again.
What kind of skill is it, to accompany the ancestor?
I have Shen Yi!
Thinking of this, his face once again showed joy, and he hummed a tune as he drifted toward the inside of the Martial Temple.
To make such an important decision so rashly,
It’s normal for those cultivating within the Martial Temple to feel discontent.
But anyone who wasn’t a fool would understand how worthwhile this temporary wait truly was.
With the join of the Xu Family and Shen Yi’s renowned name, the land of Jiuzhou would be as fortified as gold, free from demons and evil spirits daring to invade.
It would become a truly peaceful and prosperous age.
In such an era, the gathering speed of Incense Willpower would reach terrifying levels.
Wu Dao’an handed over both the Golden Scroll and the key into the Armory.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wu.”
Shen Yi received the items and sat down cross-legged.
“Are you trying to embarrass me? Compared to you, who in all of Great Qian dares to claim they’re tired?”
Wu Dao’an’s face bloomed with happiness, but he still tried to appear composed.
He stepped out of the room, closing the door behind Shen Yi.
This time, Wu Dao’an did not ask how long Shen Yi would remain; for the outside world, Great Qian was safest when Shen Yi’s moves were unpredictable.
It was best not even to know the whereabouts of the other party himself.
To eliminate any possibility of betrayal.
