I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

203: Demon Sealing Sect, Ninth Mountain!The red-yellow earth was vast and desolate, and in the sky, the galaxy hung inverted. Massive, ancient stars rotated above, so close that merely looking at them with the naked eye instilled a sense of dread, as if they might plummet down at any moment.

Yet, in the center of these ancient stars, there was a scene that left one stunned.

A massive, ancient mountain, entirely cyan-black in color, stood amidst them, with the sun and moon rotating around it in perfect rhythm; even the stars seemed somewhat insignificant before it...

On this mountain stood a towering cyan tree that connected to the depths of the Universe, stretching endlessly. On its branches hung crystalline water droplets, each one clearly being a world.

There were nearly a hundred of them!

A single mountain adorned with hundreds of worlds—it was like a miracle!

”This is...” Shen Nian could only see this astonishing scene from billions of miles away, and what shocked him most was that he had seen this mountain before—in the memories of the deceased ancient Cultivator Zhou Xuan within the Ancient Tomb...

Demon Sealing Sect!

Ninth Mountain!

”To think the Ancestor intercepted the Ninth Mountain of the Demon Sealing Sect...” Shen Nian wore a thoughtful expression, unable to help but wonder.

Does that mean the Ancestor intercepted it before the Demon Sealing Sect was destroyed, or after...

Did the Ancestor coexist in the same era as the Demon Sealing Sect?

Immediately after, Shen Nian took a step forward, his brows raising. An invisible force instantly scrutinized his entire body, even detecting his blood...

”Is this a detection Formation?” Shen Nian looked puzzled, yet despite his current attainments in the Dao of Formations, he still could not discern how this Formation was formed.

”It must have been set up by the Ancestor in the past to prevent anyone who is not of the Shen Family from stepping foot here.”

The next second, an ancient voice devoid of any emotion rang out, confirming Shen Nian’s conjecture.

”Bloodline verified.”

However, after this ancient voice vanished, a deep male voice immediately resonated.

”Eligible to participate in the demon sealing assessment...”

”Age: twenty.”

”Realm: Void Return First Layer.”

”Physique: Top-tier.”

”Talent rating: Supreme.”

”To think it could even detect my Realm and Physique...” Shen Nian looked surprised, then murmured, ”Supreme talent, is it...”

It must be because the Chaos Body hasn’t fully formed yet...

What exactly is this demon sealing assessment?

Is it a test for Disciples entering the Demon Sealing Sect?

Shen Nian frowned, feeling the power gradually dissipate.

Little did Shen Nian know, apart from the Second Ancestor, no one else in the entire Shen Family had ever heard this male voice.

Immediately after, Shen Nian’s figure was enveloped in a divine radiance and instantly vanished from the starry sky. When he reappeared, he was inside the Ninth Mountain, before a boundless golden ocean.

This golden ocean exuded the aura of the Dao at every moment, and faint glimpses could be seen of divine objects soaring through the golden sea as if they possessed Souls...

At the same time, Soul-shaking scriptures rang out.

”Cangtian Scripture Sea... This sound must be the Shen Family’s Emperor Scripture, the Cangtian Scripture...” Shen Nian looked at the golden ocean before him, his expression moved.

With such a vast ocean formed by the power of the Dao, and so many dao palace divine objects, it is no wonder the Shen Family’s Dao Integration Realm experts are all peerless...

There’s no helping it, the family’s foundations are simply too deep!

The so-called Emperor Scripture is not actually a Cultivation Technique, but a unique baptism for Shen Family Disciples, activating their own Bloodline Power and allowing their talent and Physique to undergo an earth-shattering improvement.

Shen Nian walked across the golden ocean. The further he went, the more clearly he could perceive the pressure of the Dao increasing. Similarly, there were more divine objects in the sea, and the power of the Dao was stronger, yet he still could not see the end of this golden sea.

Half an incense stick later. Boom! The Great Sun Indestructible Sword Intent surged across the area.

An incense stick later. The Chaos Fist radiance danced as the Indestructible Chaos Body was unleashed.

Another incense stick later. A giant wreathed in silver Chaos divine radiance strode rapidly across the golden sea. Each step covered ten thousand miles, and behind him, a three-zhang golden body appeared, the power of the Burning Heaven Purgatory unleashed.

The chaos demon emperor immortal palace rotated behind him, the Immortal Qi it emitted instantly suppressing the power of the Dao.

”This must be the depths involved in the transition from Void Return to Dao Integration...” Shen Nian looked at the endless, surging power of the Dao beneath his feet. Each strand emitted was enough to instantly obliterate the Physical Body of an ordinary Void Return Cultivator, but clearly, Shen Nian was not ordinary.

However, even with his full power unleashed, he felt immense pressure. Even he could not withstand moving forward while keeping so many buffs active for long. The nine golden figures inside his body gritted their teeth as they worked, providing Shen Nian with a constant stream of the power of the Dao.

”It seems necessary to upgrade the Nine Turns Creation Heavenly Technique,” Shen Nian thought, feeling that the golden figures were nearly at their limit. Blindly increasing his Realm without his Cultivation Technique keeping up would not do.

The golden figures seemed to sense this and wore pitiful expressions—Big Brother, you finally remembered us.

Shen Nian glanced at the distance to the opposite shore, pondered for a moment, and checked his preaching value.

[Current remaining: 345.5 points]

”System, redeem preaching value, simulate the Nine Turns Creation Heavenly Technique!”

[Ding, starting simulation of the Nine Turns Creation Heavenly Technique, first year...]

[Year 70, Nine Turns Creation Heavenly Technique Perfection!]

Boom! The golden figures inside Shen Nian grew, each as sturdy as an ox, and their number surged directly from nine to ninety-nine. Now, they began working frantically with faces full of confidence.

The power of the Dao was absorbed by Shen Nian at a visible rate; the speed was so fast that even Shen Nian was momentarily stunned.

”At such a speed, even if the power of the Dao were exhausted, it would only take ten breaths to fully recover. This is truly monstrous,” Shen Nian thought, feeling his terrifying recovery rate. Furthermore, he could clearly feel his dao palace constantly perfecting itself, and the Indestructible Chaos Body showed signs of improvement as well.

The next second, Shen Nian glanced at the opposite shore and set off again without hesitation.

He moved at extreme speed; with the immortal palace and its Immortal Qi suppressing the power of the Dao, he walked as if on flat ground.

Suddenly! On the golden other shore, a phantom with an indistinct face blocked Shen Nian’s path.

”Young man, you are too weak right now. Go back; this is not a place you can come to...”

”You have forged the legendary immortal palace, so your talent goes without saying. Come back after you have passed the demon sealing assessment, and I will not stop you...”

”Right now, your priority should be to absorb the power of the Dao in the Cangtian Sea. This place will close in one day, so do not waste time.”

”I do not wish to bully you, nor do I wish to waste time...”

Shen Nian squinted his eyes at this figure. The old man exuded the aura of the Void Return Third Layer, but the pressure he exerted was terrifying, even stronger than Wang Teng.

However, the other party had reminded him. The Ancestral Land only remained open for one day each time; otherwise, if one could Cultivate here every day, even a pig could take flight.

”Exactly, I do not wish to waste time either,” Shen Nian said softly. He then slashed out a sword strike with his right hand at full power, while his left hand formed a seal, creating a talisman with a single thought.

The power of time immediately descended.

”The Dao of Time?”

”A fine talisman technique!”

”But do you know how long I have lived? Can this power of time reverse until I die of old age...” The old man chuckled and reached out, easily pinching Shen Nian’s Sword Intent, letting the power of time from the Xingzhi Divine Talisman erode him.
