Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 768 Coercion (Part 6)

The Sword Talisman Academy's hierarchical system is a management framework with Yan Xuanji as the core of the academy, the deputy academy heads in charge of daily affairs, and many internal and external academy directors.

It can be said.

As the head of the academy, Yan Xuanji ruled the entire academy with absolute power, and the life and death of anyone was entirely in her hands.

Xu Qingye was just an ordinary disciple; he wasn't even a steward, let alone a person in charge.

No wonder he was so afraid of Yan Xuanji.

Yan Xuanji accepted the kneeling bows of the disciples in the academy with composure.

After he finished bowing, he continued calmly, "The Sword and Talisman Academy is not a place where I can dictate terms. You may have different opinions; this is human nature. However, my Yuanmiao Sect bears the great responsibility of saving all living beings. Everything should be based on the public good. Qingye, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I will go back and convey the academy head's message!" Xu Qing nodded repeatedly, his face showing a look of sudden enlightenment after receiving instruction.

“That’s right. You must remember that the mountain and the land below are two different worlds. Yuanjue, Xu Feihong, Hong Jiaojiao... the seven great masters of Yunzhou who seem to be famous, are just ordinary people in our Yuanmiao Sect.”

Yan Xuanji said calmly, "Tell Xu Feihong that I understand her intentions. But when it comes to the greater good, personal feelings don't matter. As long as she does her best for the Yuanmiao Sect, even if she doesn't achieve great merit, she will still have put in the effort. What's wrong with granting her a spot in the Creation Pool then?"

"Disciple understands!" Xu Qing replied with a righteous air, a proud expression also appearing on his face.

With the power of a single sect, he commanded a large region.

How domineering!

How majestic he was! Just think of those so-called big shots, those powerful figures with renowned reputations, they all had to bow down and be a level below him in front of his disciple.

This is the natural arrogance of the disciples of the Yuanmiao Sect.

"By the way, why is there still no news about the Myriad Beasts Sect that your Senior Brother Huang is in charge of? How is it progressing? The conditions offered to the Myriad Beasts Sect are among the most generous of the Seven Absolutes."

Mentioning the Seven Wonders of Yunzhou, Yan Xuanji slowly opened his eyelids, then remembered something else.

Among the six academies of the Yuanmiao Sect, the Sword Talisman Academy is considered one of the strongest in terms of overall strength.

With greater strength comes greater control over a wider area, and naturally, a larger number of subordinate forces.

Among the many forces under the Sword Talisman Academy, the one listed is "One Flower, Three Swords, Ten Thousand Clouds".

Xu Feihong and Han Yi, the two top experts of Yunzhou, belong to the Myriad Flower Palace and the Myriad Beasts Sect, which are the two most important large forces. "This disciple has just returned from Senior Brother's residence and is preparing to report to the head of the academy." Xu Qing also said quickly, "Senior Brother said that Han Yi, the sect leader of the Myriad Beasts Sect, has made an offer and agreed, but it will take a month before the cooperation will officially begin."

"Intentions? In such an important matter, is a mere lower sect allowed to be picky?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuanji's expression immediately turned displeased.

"I thought I was buying vegetables from small vendors, where I could pick and choose? There were several options? Also, what does this past month mean? The demonic calamity is brewing, dangers are lurking everywhere, time waits for no one, and it could erupt at any moment."

How much can be accomplished in a month? How much preparation can be made in advance? If, because of this one month, we can't wait for the Myriad Beasts Sect, and our preparations falter, leading to a devastating demonic calamity, who will bear the blame for these deaths and injuries?

She spoke sternly and with a serious expression.

His anger erupted, and his aura flashed by. Not only Xu Qing, who was standing opposite him, but even the disciples below the stage who were shouting and yelling were so frightened that they were at a loss and their moves became chaotic.

"Senior...Senior brother...say..." Xu Qing's face was also pale, and he spoke haltingly.

"Continue," Yan Xuanji said, realizing that others had been affected. She lowered her guard and pressed on, "What exactly happened?"

Xu Qing, like a drowning person surfacing, took a few quick breaths of fresh oxygen before his breathing became smooth: "Senior brother said that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is supported by the royal Tantai family, so we need to be careful. Once Han Yi contacts the Tantai family and reports this matter, things will naturally fall into place."

"Let things take their natural course, and things will fall into place naturally. What a clever argument! If I didn't know Han Yi's background, I probably would have been fooled too!"

Yan Xuanji immediately smiled.

Her smile was strange; her skin trembled, but the muscles on her long, narrow cheeks remained completely still.

It looks so unsettling and chilling.

"Let me ask you this. Han Yi said he wanted to write a letter to the Tantai family. What if the Tantai family disagrees? Are we supposed to wait another month for them to explain their reasons again, and then cooperate with my Yuanmiao Sect's actions after we have a result?"

"This..." Xu Qing hesitated, clearly unsure how to answer.

"Secondly, even if the other party agrees and the goal is achieved, and the Myriad Beasts Sect cooperates according to the plan, what will outsiders think? Where will the face of my Yuanmiao Sect be? The Tantai family is indeed a royal family, but in the end, it is just a bloodline family."

My Yuanmiao Sect, a prestigious martial arts holy land, manages its subordinate regions. Do we really need to listen to the orders of a mere bloodline family? Are we truly destined to become a subservient dog, wagging its tail and begging for mercy at the behest of the Tantai family?

Yan Xuanji's words were solemn and well-reasoned, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Xu Qing could only stand to the side with a forced smile, unable to say a word.

"There are some things that you ordinary disciples don't know, and I don't want you to know either. Because saying more is useless and will only cause you more trouble."

Yan Xuanji sighed: "But this time, Huang Suyan really messed up, easily fooled by a few words. I know Han Yi's background better than anyone. The so-called support from the Tantai family... it's just that he has a good personal relationship with one of them."

The Tantai family would never bother with such a trivial matter. Besides, they are too busy with their own problems to care about anything else.

“Then we should…” Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

"Since the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect falls under the jurisdiction of my Sword Talisman Academy, we will take full responsibility for it," Yan Xuanji said calmly. "Isn't Han Yi glib and prone to using petty tricks to bewitch people? Does he want a month?"

"Give the order. Tell Huang Suyan what I just said, and tell him to resolve this within a week, tearing away the facade that Han Yi is putting on!"

"If it's the Myriad Beasts Sect..."

"If they refuse, then the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is just trying to be the first to stick their neck out. Since they are disobedient troublemakers, there is no need to show them any mercy. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed."

Yan Xuanji said calmly.

"He wants to avoid the demonic calamity but doesn't want to take any action. There's no such thing as having it all. If he wants to set a precedent and become a troublemaker, let him go. Let him seek his own death and have his entire family wiped out."

"It's a good example to make an example of someone. It's better to get rid of this troublemaker and use him to deter other forces than to be laughed at by the other five academies."

Her tone was flat, and her expression was calm and undisturbed.

It's like talking about a trivial matter. As easy and effortless as a street vendor slaughtering chickens and fish, plucking feathers and scales.

"The Demon King is impervious to insects, and ordinary methods are insufficient to completely eliminate him... Powerful beings have repeatedly tried to obliterate him with overwhelming force or slay him at the very root of the Great Dao's laws..."

However, the most widely used, prevalent, and common method is still sealing, encasing it in a secret realm for countless years to suppress and erode it…

The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud.

Bathed in golden light, Han Yi stared intently at the book in his hands, lost in thought.

For several days in a row, he immersed himself in countless secret notebooks.

He was trying to find a glimmer of hope for further self-improvement. The pressure from the Yuanmiao Sect hung over his head like a sword of Damocles.

It could fall at any moment, dragging the entire Myriad Beasts Sect into an abyss of no return.

The best way to break the deadlock is to enhance our strength again.

He rose to a level where no one in the entire Yunzhou could stop him.

pity.

Han Yi could not be found.

Whether it's the various information provided by Tantai Xunzhen or the vast collection of books in the library.

We've learned quite a bit of classified information.

But to no avail.

Whether it's martial arts or the spiritual bloodline he created.

There is no quick way to break through to the next level in a short period of time.

There may be a few brief mentions, but the detailed cultivation process is not recorded at all.

Even the method of forcibly cultivating and breaking through by consuming demonic energy is impossible.

Because he lacked the resources needed for the breakthrough, and with his current knowledge base, it was difficult for him to find a completely correct direction for the breakthrough.

Han Yi had some ideas about cultivation based on the bloodline of the spirit seed.

The Spirit Seed Bloodline is a special bloodline that he created by combining and devouring his own original bloodline.

The first level is the embryonic stage.

During the embryonic stage, it absorbs distracting thoughts and desires according to the characteristics of the subject, grows, breaks through, and transforms into the most suitable form.

The second level is called synesthesia.

It connects all the body's senses, breaks down internal and external barriers, and enables the internal and external environments to be linked, allowing for the sharing of sensations.

At this stage, the spiritual seed is like a newborn baby just awakened from childbirth. It absorbs the emotions transmitted from the internal and external environment as nutrients and grows rapidly.

Han Yi is currently stuck here.

He doesn't know how to proceed to the next level of the Spirit Seed bloodline.

But he had a vague feeling that a tremendous change was about to occur in the spiritual seed.

This is also a stage where one gains true combat power.

Just like traditional bloodline families, they can develop bloodline divine weapons, bloodline mutations, and so on, which can greatly enhance their combat power.

If Han Yi could make some predictions about the next step for the spirit seed bloodline...

The next step in martial arts is completely unknown.

Creating something from nothing, combining one's own knowledge, doing what predecessors could not, and forging a unique path.

There is a very high probability that one will have an epiphany and break through the shackles of the Venerable One.

These two seemingly simple sentences have given rise to countless possibilities for imagination.
