The divine silkworms were easy to refine. Jiang Yi had refined a divine silkworm before, but he had lost his memory in the Purgatory Ruin.
Under Yi Chan’s guidance, he secluded himself and refined the divine silkworms. The Mystic Divine Palace flew straight toward Buddha Thearch City, and he did not have to bother too much with steering it. What’s more, refining silkworms would not take him very long. If anything happened on the way, he would have time to react immediately.
He and Yi Chan teleported into a Mystic Thearch Pavilion. Yi Chan opened her jade box, and the ten divine silkworms flew out immediately. A black glove appeared in Yi Chan’s hand. She easily grabbed onto one and used her essence force to hand it over to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi caught the divine silkworm together with the essence force. Pure energy entered his body and flowed into his soul spirit. A surprising thing happened. The moment that energy entered his soul spirit, the Rainbow Soul Spear flew out and absorbed all the energy.
Buzz!
The Rainbow Soul Spear lit up, and its aura became stronger. Jiang Yi was so angry that he cursed under his breath. This energy was not meant for the Rainbow Soul Spear. It was for his primordial spirit! The Rainbow Soul Spear had swallowed the demon core of the demon king the other time, but that was only because he had no other choice. Naturally, Jiang Yi did not want to allow the Rainbow Soul Spear to swallow the energy this time.
“Get out!”
Jiang Yi roared. He brought the Rainbow Soul Spear out of his spiritual consciousness. If the spear was outside his mind, it would not be able to absorb any more energy from the silkworms, would it?
Yet!
Something happened to leave Jiang Yi and Yi Chan speechless. The moment it came out from between Jiang Yi’s eyebrows, the Rainbow Soul Spear lit up and lunged at the divine silkworms flying around in mid-air.
Swish! Swish!
The Rainbow Soul Spear turned into a beam of light that charged toward the divine silkworms, shooting right through each one of them. Each time the spear shot through a silkworm, the divine silkworm would become much smaller. At last, it would disappear into thin air. The Rainbow Soul Spear would then light up once again, and its aura would become stronger.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Rainbow Soul Spear moved way too quickly. In a blink of an eye, three divine silkworms vanished. By the time Yi Chan and Jiang Yi regained their composure, the fourth divine silkworm disappeared.
“Damn it, stop! That’s mine…”
Jiang Yi was beginning to panic. His eyes became bloodshot as he tried to channel all his power into stopping the Rainbow Soul Spear. Yet, the spear was beyond his control. In a few more blinks of the eyes, the spear swallowed every divine silkworm in mid-air. It was only then that it finally stopped shooting around the pavilion. The Rainbow Soul Spear basked in its own glow like an indestructible divine spear. The strength of its aura had more than doubled just like that!
“Damn it, what the hell is this thing?”
Jiang Yi was close to tears. He had no way of controlling his own weapon. He had been intending to use the divine silkworms to congeal his own god spirit, and yet his own Rainbow Soul Spear had snatched these silkworms away from him. This frustrated him so much that he wanted to vomit blood.
“Jiang… Jiang Yi, what is that?” Yi Chan’s eyes widened in shock as she pointed at the Rainbow Soul Spear in mid-air. She was absolutely frightened. If the Rainbow Soul Spear had been trying to attack her, there was no way that she would be able to fend off her own soul against it.
“I don’t know what it is either…”
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. Once again, the Rainbow Soul Spear was under control, but he did not dare to put it back into his spiritual consciousness. For some reason, he felt like it was a double-edged sword—a double-edged sword that was beyond his control. In fact, he was tempted to destroy it there and then.
The Rainbow Soul Spear was separated out on the Yellow Springs Path of the Mystic Divine Palace back then. Since then, Jiang Yi lost control of it several times. If not for the fact that the Rainbow Soul Spear had never tried to attack its own owner, Jiang Yi would have already tried to destroy it by now.
Yi Chan looked wary as she asked, “How come it swallowed the divine silkworms of its own accord? Does this thing have its own soul spirit? Jiang Yi, I’m scared. Why don’t we destroy it?”
“Don’t be afraid!”
Jiang Yi grabbed Yi Chan’s hand and said resolutely, “Apart from when stealing power meant for my own soul spirit, this thing has been under my control all this time! Yi Chan, I will not hide this from you any longer. This was formed using my own primordial spirit. I’m guessing that it has something to do with the technique I’m trained in…”
“This was formed from your own soul spirit? Your soul spirit created this divine spear?” Yi Chan’s eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Yi like he was a monster. Curiously, she asked, “Technique? Jiang Yi, what technique are you training in?”
“This… I’m not sure either!”
Jiang Yi was stuck once again. There was nothing to hide in front of Yi Chan now. He explained how he was sealed when he was young and how he woke up to this nameless cultivation technique. He also explained how his dantian mutated and his soul spirit split later on.
“Uh!”
Yi Chan felt like she had just heard a fantasy story. She stayed silent for a long while before her beautiful eyes suddenly twinkled. “That’s right, isn’t your mother from the Higher Domain? Could she have been the one to leave this cultivation technique behind?”
“Not sure!”
Jiang Yi’s gaze darkened. “I have had many mysterious and strange things happen to me. Perhaps I will only figure all these things out after finding my mother, but my mother is in the Higher Domain. I don’t even know yet if I can ascend. Even if I can, I might not be able to find my mother. I might never see her again in my lifetime.”
“Jiang Yi, you’re so pitiful!”
Yi Chan’s motherly instincts were kicking in. She looked at Jiang Yi pitifully as she reached out and grabbed his hands to give him some warmth. Jiang Yi reciprocated and then pulled Yi Chan into his arms. “I’m not pitiful. I’m satisfied to have all of you in my life. Life is full of ups and downs after all, but Ao Lu is right. I cannot ask for too much. All I can do is make sure that my conscience remains clear.”
“Ay…”
Yi Chan’s body trembled. She wanted to resist him, but Jiang Yi’s words captivated her. She looked up at Jiang Yi’s sharp face, a smile tugging at her lips.
That’s right!
If one always expected life to be perfect, one would always be tired. There were many good things about Jiang Yi, but there were also bad things such as the fact that his heart wandered and that many women were by his side. This caused her to bear a grudge against him.
However, she could not stop thinking about how outstanding Jiang Yi was as well. It would be impossible for any woman not to fall in love with him. She had always held herself to a higher standard than most other people, and yet she fell for him as well, didn’t she? The Mystic Thearch had many women by his side as well. The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, and Evil Thearch… among all these formidable martial artists, which one of them did not have multiple wives and concubines?
Ay… women are cheap!
Yi Chan suddenly felt bad about herself. Ordinary men were not good enough for her, and yet she had to share the good men with so many other women. In the end, men were all fickle-minded radish-heads. She was always meant to be put at a disadvantage. This was probably the fate of most other women.
While she was in deep thought, she realized that Jiang Yi was looking down at her. He forced his huge lips down on her own little red ones. At the same time, she felt his big hands reach up under her dress.
“Uh!”
Yi Chan trembled to her very soul. She began to wriggle around, but Jiang Yi acted like an aggressive king. He held her chin up with one hand and used his other hand to grope around under her dress. She was barely able to keep herself standing upright.
Slowly, Yi Chan stopped resisting his touch. Jiang Yi’s overwhelming sexiness finally got to her. Her entire body went limp as she allowed Jiang Yi to treat her any way he wanted. His single hand roamed around her entire body.
It was only when she felt a breeze on her bare chest and realized her dress had been unbuttoned that she regained her consciousness. She mustered up the last of her willpower to push Jiang Yi away. At the door of the room, she turned around to glare at Jiang Yi. “Bad man. Don’t even think about messing around with me before we get married. Yi Chan is not a loose woman.”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi put his hand to his nose, looking obviously disappointed. “Little Chan’er, you’re thinking too much. I just wanted to touch you. I’m not a loose man either.”
“Bah!”
