Chapter 402: Ji Shan, Union with the Dao!
Chapter 402: Ji Shan, Union with the Dao!
"Dad, I'm a bit nervous," Ji Shan said with a hint of anxiety.
"Then what should I say to calm you down? Stay calm? Don't be silly, I'm nervous too. I've always done this myself, but today I'm helping you for the first time," Qin Muye teased.
"Damn, can't you be more reliable? This is the Union with the Dao. If I succeed, the Spirit Realm will become a part of me. Then my Primordial Spirit might be strong enough to take one of your hits before you kill me," Ji Shan thought, recalling that he had a powerful backer.
If anything went wrong, someone could still help him, so why should he be nervous?
Now, he should be the one calming Qin Muye down.
"Ji Shan, if I mess up, it's no big deal, Dad will help me. But if you get nervous and make a mistake, that could be a real problem," Ji Shan quickly added.
"..." Qin Muye's face turned dark: "Alright, you've got a point. Stop rambling and let's get started."
"The evil spirits in the Spirit Realm have all been dealt with. It's empty now, and this is the perfect opportunity to take over while the three demons are missing. We can't let this drag on."
Qin Muye didn't argue further. He knew there was no reason to be nervous; he had experience and was confident nothing would go wrong.
Given Ji Shan's abilities, such a minor task should be manageable.
He was there not to back Ji Shan up, as Ji Shan had been preparing for twenty-three years and was unlikely to have major issues.
His true purpose was to guard against the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, to prevent them from attacking once Ji Shan began the process.
Of course, an attack would be the best-case scenario, indicating that the demons hadn't undergone a cataclysmic transformation that could threaten the world.
If the Three Demons of the Spirit Realm allowed the Spirit Realm to become part of Ji Shan's Union with the Dao, that would be a serious problem, as it would suggest they were involved in something far more significant, possibly even willing to abandon the Spirit Realm.
Ji Shan's Primordial Spirit floated out of his body. Qin Muye noted that Ji Shan was quite unique, having cultivated his body into a type of vessel and external avatar, leaving only his Primordial Spirit as the true essence.
Once inside the Spirit Realm, the Primordial Spirit began to expand and spread, gradually eroding the space.
Qin Muye estimated that Ji Shan would need at least three to five months to complete the Union with the Dao. The exact time was hard to pinpoint, as many factors could influence it.
Just like Qin Muye's initial plan to devour the Secret Martial World, no matter how well-prepared he was, things rarely went exactly as planned. Most things didn't have a 100% chance of success.
"To be honest, this is my first proper visit to the Mage Dynasty," Qin Muye couldn't help but reflect. Previously, he had mostly stayed in the Mage Tower, and even when he ventured out, it was never with his true form, but through shadow attire.
This was understandable, as the server had been dangerous for him, with many 7th-rank beings around.
Now, things were different. He had enough self-preservation skills to feel safe. As for invincibility, that was just excessive pride, and not a good thing.
"The Union with the Dao has officially begun, but the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion haven't moved. This is a serious problem," Qin Muye's perception was at its maximum, yet he detected no abnormalities.
Based on the data Qin Muye had, the Three Demons were deeply tied to the Spirit Realm, a subspace. They should have immediately sensed Ji Shan's attempt to absorb the Spirit Realm into his Union with the Dao.
It was like someone trying to absorb the Endless Abyss. Qin Muye would instantly know if someone tried to do that.
Under normal circumstances, the Three Demons would have already attacked, even if they couldn't defeat Qin Muye. They wouldn't just let the Spirit Realm be taken without a fight.
If the Spirit Realm were to disappear, the Three Demons might also face death. While they were immortal, this immortality was tied to the Spirit Realm. If they lost the Spirit Realm, they would lose their immortality, a significant weakening.
If it were Qin Muye, it would be like the Endless Abyss being about to be destroyed; he would definitely return, otherwise, his home might be stolen.
"Hopefully, the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion are just observing and looking for my weaknesses," Qin Muye thought optimistically, but he was also preparing for the worst.
Qin Muye remained vigilant while observing the civilization, with the Great Yin Dynasty representing the civilization of this world.
In fact, the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion might even be part of the Great Yin Dynasty, just in a special and transcendent position, leading to the current situation.
"Seems like there's nothing particularly unusual, just a dynasty in its twilight years."
Qin Muye observed the civilization and the internal rebellion within the Great Yin Dynasty, but he didn't see any significant issues, at least not that he could discern.
Except for the rising negative emotions.
"Should I stop it?" Qin Muye had this thought.
One thing was certain: this rebellion in the Great Yin Dynasty definitely had a problem, with a 70% chance it was due to the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, and a 30% chance it was due to the Divine Yin Emperor.
Stopping it wouldn't be difficult, but the question was, what then?
There was no point in doing so because the Great Yin Dynasty was truly in its twilight years. Without the Divine Yin Emperor, it would have fallen long ago.
"I'll put the Divine Yin Emperor aside for now. The priority is to find out the situation with the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion."
Qin Muye believed that the Divine Yin Emperor's breakthrough wouldn't be easy, or perhaps impossible, given the limits in place.
Even if the Divine Yin Emperor could successfully break through to the 7th Rank, based on his current progress, it would take at least half a year.
On the other hand, the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were willing to abandon the Spirit Realm to complete their unknown plan, which was definitely suspicious.
Qin Muye's gaze swept over the entire Great Yin Dynasty. Due to the Divine Yin Emperor's seclusion, his divine will protection had weakened considerably, which Qin Muye took advantage of.
Fortunately, the disappearance of the Three Demons and the reduction in the number of evil spirits in the Spirit Realm meant that many fewer sorcerers would go mad without the Divine Yin Emperor's protection.
"Perhaps the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion have integrated into this civilizational transformation, trying to extract something that will cause a qualitative change in themselves." Qin Muye muttered to himself.
The Divine Yin Emperor opened his eyes, and a surge of divine will flooded out, turning the entire palace into a sea of divine will.
"Lord of the Demon Soil? It seems he has also guessed about the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion," the Divine Yin Emperor said softly.
Qin Muye's observation was straightforward and open, with no concealment. The Divine Yin Emperor was not bothered by this; he had indeed reduced the intensity of his divine will protection for the entire Great Yin Dynasty, but it was unavoidable.
After all, comprehending the 11th Rank Sorcerer was no easy task, even with the gift from the End of the Cycle, a direct breakthrough was not so simple.
Moreover, the Great Yin Dynasty was already in chaos. The death of some sorcerers due to the weakened divine will protection was a small price to pay to avoid further complications.
He didn't take the rebellion to heart, as it was impossible to stop it. He knew the rebellion was driven, or more accurately, led by the Three Demons of the Spirit Realm.
On the other hand, he thought it was better to let more people die. Once he broke through to the 11th Rank Sorcerer, he could rebuild the Great Yin Dynasty, reshuffle the power structure, and establish a second thousand-year dynasty.
Of course, the premise was that he had to succeed in his breakthrough; otherwise, the mess would be difficult to clean up.
Regardless, as long as enough people died, the original share of the pie would be vacated.
"I need to speed up. The Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion seem to be advancing to a higher realm, perhaps they have received some unwarranted gifts." The Divine Yin Emperor knew that if he could obtain the End of the Cycle, the Three Demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion could also obtain the other four contracts.
Or, they might have obtained something from the extraterrestrial insect race, which would explain their decisive abandonment of the Spirit Realm.
As one of the strongest beings at the pinnacle of the world, the Divine Yin Emperor naturally sensed Ji Shan's actions. However, with Qin Muye around, he couldn't probe further. Besides, the loss of the Spirit Realm was also a relief, saving him a lot of trouble.
