Chapter 9

Ignoring the frustration and roaring in his heart, the donkey was almost driven mad with fear, wildly kicking and thrashing with its front hooves, back hooves, and tail on the Great Demon, for a full three minutes.

"Dahei, calm down, this guy seems pretty weak, you’ve already kicked him to death…" the parrot hurriedly said.

"Ou?"

The donkey opened one eye in confusion.

It saw that the devil who had been so arrogant and wanted to eat it was now lying flat on the ground, forming a "Da" character, with hoof prints all over its body, and its ribs, arm bones, and leg bones almost completely shattered.

"He’s still breathing, wait a moment…"

Jumping onto the opponent again, Dahei had a serious look on his face: "Mighty Donkey Crossing the River, Heaven and Earth Donkey Hoof, Donkey Tail Roar…"

The parrot and the turtle exchanged glances and covered their eyes.

This guy was like this, when faced with danger, he would go crazy and use every trick in the book, honestly, he was too cautious!

"Wait a bit more! Wild Donkey Gallop, Eighteen Hoof Kicks of the Dragon Subduer…"

After ten minutes, Dahei stopped and sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness he’s weak, otherwise, we would have been in real danger…"

The parrot and the old turtle nodded in agreement: "Monsters value bloodline, we are just ordinary animals turned monsters, our strength is limited. Even a weak cultivator might be too much for us!"

As animals, they had a clear understanding of their own limitations.

"???"

The Great Demon of Bliss, still breathing, felt like dying.

I’m weak?

If I were really weak, could I have been pursued by the strongest on the entire Dry Source Continent and not die?

Could I have been sealed for eight thousand years and still escape from hundreds of powerful beings?

Although my strength has greatly diminished, as a former expert, my combat ability is still not weak…

Yet, I was killed on the spot…

I have a word, mmp, but I don’t know if I should say it!

Ordinary animals, please tell me, in what way are you ordinary?

One hoof strike and the Great Demon can’t resist, and you call that ordinary…

Feeling depressed and wanting to die, he heard the conversation beside him continue.

"I think… this guy isn’t here to cause trouble for us!"

"How fresh, you’re just a donkey, what could he want from you? To plow the fields or grind grain? Don’t be so conceited! Besides, he might not be here for the master, I think this yard is haunted."

"Really? I’m afraid of ghosts…"

"Whether it’s true or not, the master hasn’t started cultivating yet, we should be more cautious!"

"Right! Then… what should we do with this guy?"

"Burial him in the garden as fertilizer! Also, don’t tell the master, or we’ll definitely get scolded for dirtying his flowers. After all, manure is the best fertilizer, and this guy definitely doesn’t measure up."

"That makes sense…"

The three beast companions discussed.

"…"

The Great Demon of Bliss was almost driven mad.

A mighty demon, a supreme figure who dominated an era, in their eyes, was not even as good as manure…

I’m f***ing…

"I’m going to kill you! Donkey for barbecue, turtle for soup, parrot for roasting…"

His teeth clenched, his heart roared continuously.

Just as he was getting angry, he felt his body being lifted. After a short time, he was thrown into a pit and buried.

He was actually f***ing used as fertilizer… and there was a lot of manure around, incredibly foul-smelling…

"Not only will I kill you, but I will also torture you, making you wish for death but unable to die…"

His heart roared, suddenly, the Great Demon of Bliss paused.

"How can there be such a dense aura of spiritual energy and holy essence in this manure?"

Despite the overwhelming stench, the manure contained a very thick aura of holy essence and spiritual energy, even surpassing what he had seen before. Just one breath, and he immediately felt his body ignite, as if the injuries he had suffered were nothing.

"With this, my injuries will recover quickly…"

Excitedly trembling, the Great Demon of Bliss suddenly felt that being buried in the manure pile was not a punishment, but a stroke of luck!

No wonder those three guys said he was not as good as shit, in terms of holy essence, he really didn’t measure up.

"Absorb!"

Without further thought, the Great Demon of Bliss opened his mouth wide and rapidly absorbed the holy essence from the surrounding manure. The stench mixed with the spiritual energy slowly flooded his body through his acupoints.

Indeed… the holy essence entering his body, the injuries from the kicks visibly healed, and the damage from being sealed for eight thousand years was also compensated.

After an unknown amount of time, absorbing a large amount of manure, the Great Demon of Bliss finally regained the ability to move, struggling to crawl out of the ground, looking at the dark night sky, his eyes bloodshot.

"I will take back what is owed to me, I will go after those who have wronged me! I will make the heavens tremble for me, I will make the earth fear me! I will let this world know, the Great Demon of Bliss… is back!"

Swearing an oath, the Great Demon of Bliss clenched his teeth, planning to find more holy essence to completely recover his injuries, when he saw a large dogwood grass coming towards him, whistling.

In an instant, the air around him was restrained, the space seemed about to collapse, and the Great Demon of Bliss, who had just recovered a bit, saw a mountain coming down again.

Pang!

His head was hit so hard it was pushed into his chest, and he lay flat on the ground again. In a daze, he heard the dogwood grass’s slightly angry voice.

"Stop f***ing around, disturbing the master’s sleep, I’ll eat you!"

Tears flowed again, his consciousness spread, and the Great Demon of Bliss vaguely saw countless flowers from all around, each like a pillar supporting the sky, with an extremely powerful aura. It seemed that if he dared to talk back, they would swallow him, although this fertilizer didn’t look very appetizing…

"What the f*** is this place?"

His vision went black, and the Great Demon of Bliss fainted again.

I want to go back to the碧落海, I want to be sealed again, I’m done…

…

In the Immortal Suppressing Sect’s martial hall, Liu Yiyi stood still, gripping a long sword in her right hand.

Since returning from the Hidden Immortal Residence, she had been standing there for five hours.

"Sword techniques emphasize accuracy and speed!"

"Intent and spirit must align, when the heart desires, the intent follows, and the heart and intent must be combined…"

The words of the senior kept circling in her mind, but her head was a mess, with no coherent thoughts.

"Wait, this senior mentioned ‘bird’ several times, and specifically talked about wings…"

A thought struck her, and the senior’s words came to mind.

"Could he be using birds as a metaphor, meaning that the sword technique should become as instinctive as flapping wings, so that each use doesn’t require thought, truly combining heart and intent…"

"Make the sword a part of the body, an extension of the spirit…"

A moment of enlightenment appeared in her mind, and Liu Yiyi’s body trembled. The long sword in her hand lightly shook, emitting a dragon-like cry.

Whoosh!

She performed a sword flower, and the air around her whistled.

The Thirty-Six Techniques of Immortal Suppressing!

This is the sword technique that every disciple of the Immortal Suppressing Sect practices, each move more difficult than the last. By the end, it not only requires true essence but also the perfect combination of spirit, qi, and mind.

A disciple at the Gathering Breath stage who can perform twelve moves can rank among the top in their level, and even in the entire Danyang Prefecture, they would be considered a prodigy.

Liu Yiyi had been in the sect for three years, limited by her strength and talent, she could only smoothly perform three moves, and the fourth move was beyond her reach.

At this moment, with a new understanding, her heart and intent aligned, and the sword technique flowed without any sense of contradiction.

The first move, White Clouds and Dogs.

The second move, Crossing the River.

The third move, Flying Stars Chasing the Sea.

The sword techniques that she had struggled to perform before were now effortlessly executed, not only more fluid but also more powerful.

"The fourth move…"

Previously, every time she performed this move, she would get injured. This time, she was determined to complete it.

The long sword didn’t pause, following a special trajectory, and the next moment, it pointed diagonally upwards, like a bow shooting an arrow.

The fourth move, Soaring Clouds, completed!

Excitedly trembling, Liu Yiyi pulled the sword down, and the full force of her body flowed through the sword, forming a circle in front of her, like a setting sun.

The fifth move, Long Rainbow and Setting Sun!

Buzz!

Performing this move, her full strength reached its limit. A crisp sound came from her lower abdomen, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed in, breaking the constraints of her Gathering Breath third stage cultivation, rapidly ascending like a flood breaking through a dam.

Gathering Breath fourth stage…

Gathering Breath fifth stage!

In just two hours, she had advanced two major levels!

"This…"

Coming to her senses, feeling the understanding of the sword technique in her mind and the changes in her true essence in her dantian, Liu Yiyi trembled with excitement.

After practicing for more than two years without being able to break through the fourth move, just by listening to the senior’s few words, she not only reached the fifth move but even… advanced in cultivation!

Before, she wouldn’t have dared to dream of such progress!

For the first time… she felt that cultivation was so easy, so simple!

"If I could become his disciple…"

After the excitement, a thought emerged.

Just asking like this, even if she could make progress, how far could she go?

The best way would be to become the senior’s disciple… once successful, revenge would no longer be a distant dream.

Knowing that the longer things were delayed, the more changes could occur, she didn’t hesitate much and stepped out.

Even if she had to kneel at the door, she would make sure to become a disciple!

Quickly moving forward, before she could leave the martial hall, a mocking voice sounded.

"Isn’t this Liu Yiyi? So, after losing to me yesterday, you’ve been practicing all night? With your talent, even if you practice for three more years, you won’t stand a chance against me!"

Frowning, Liu Yiyi looked up and saw a young man in white standing not far away, a cold smile on his face.

It was Zhou Yuan, her fellow disciple who had defeated her in yesterday’s sparring!

（Yesterday, I had dinner with Elbow, Milk Knight, Newspaper Seller, Eagle, Flying Fish, and Qi Peijia. I proposed to cut them down a bit, and then I was brutally beaten. I just woke up, and I sincerely advise everyone, don’t be a show-off. Please give me recommendation votes for comfort.）
