“That strict?”
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. The Buddha Thearch told him once before that the Nine Thearch Clans have very strict rules. If the Nine Thearchs fell out of line, the elders of the clans could chase them out of the clan. This would ensure that the Nine Thearch Clans would not fall because of one errant leader. A rule like that could help the clans to survive for a long time, enjoying glory for millions of years.
The elders of the great family clans were very loyal to their mission of preserving the clan name. They would not allow their clans to be destroyed. Thus, the Ten Concealed Sects and Nine Thearch Clans stood tall for seven hundred thousand years.
One or two people could make mistakes, but the clan’s rules would not. Thus, if the Heaven Nether Sect had stricter rules than the Nine Thearch Clans, this Clan Head would not dare to mess around. The elders would not allow the Clan Head.
“It’s not the Heaven Nether Sect? Then who can it be? Who has such great skill?”
Jiang Yi was absolutely confused. There were many powerful clans in the continent, but the only people who would be able to manipulate everybody like that were the Nine Thearch Clans, Ao Lu, Sin Island, the Heaven Hidden Sect, and the Heaven Nether Sect. The other clans were definitely not as powerful.
The Nine Thearch Clans and Ao Lu had been eliminated. Sin Island was destroyed. Now, the Heaven Nether Sect was eliminated as well. Could it be the Heaven Hidden Sect? The Heaven Hidden Sect was the ruling sect of the Snow Region. The Heaven Hidden Sect represented Snow Region. It did have the power to control everything.
“Impossible…”
The Saint Empress was indebted to Yi Piaopiao. The Saint Empress would not hurt him! Jiang Yi was really perplexed now. He sat down in a daze. Yi Chan turned to glance at him. “Jiang Yi, don’t give yourself so much pressure. What will happen will happen. All we can do is focus on improving ourselves so that we can face up to any change in circumstances. I’m guessing that the mastermind will show his face very soon. People plan to do things that will benefit them. Soon, we will see who stands to gain the most! If we can rescue Grandfather—given what he has been through at the Black Sea and his wisdom, I think he will know who the mastermind is.”
“En!”
Jiang Yi nodded profusely. In a low voice, he said, “After I send Grandfather and the others to Snow Region, we will go to the Black Sea immediately. I must save your grandfather and your Majesty Father.”
Both Yi Chan and Jiang Yi were sure that the Buddha Thearch, the Yin Thearch, and the others were not dead. In their hearts, someone like the Buddha Thearch could never die at an unassuming place like the Black Sea. What’s more, the Yin Thearch, Night Empress, and Xuan Thearch were extremely formidable. Who would have the ability to kill them?
Buzz!
As Yi Chan and Jiang Yi chatted, the Rainbow Soul Spear continued to kill tens of thousands of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles. At that moment, the Rainbow Soul Spear suddenly shot billions of blinding light beams outward. The Rainbow Soul Spear, which was the size of a little finger before, was now only the size of a toothpick. The rainbow colors were gone now. In its place were nine different colors. Black and white were added to the mix, striking fear into onlookers’ hearts.
“This…”
On seeing the new Rainbow Soul Spear, both Jiang Yi and Yi Chan were shocked to their core. Jiang Yi was doing slightly better than Yi Chan, who was terrified that the Rainbow Soul Spear would shoot through her own soul spirit. Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened. Although he did not know how the Nine-Colored Soul Spear would work, he was sure that it would easily defeat six-star Demigods.
“Jiang Yi, the spear is different now!”
Yi Chan’s lips parted, but Jiang Yi did not respond to her. Instead, his eyes burned with passion. This was because he discovered that the Nine-Colored Soul Spear was no longer killing the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles on its own. This meant his own soul spirit could finally improve.
Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Yi moved the Nine-Colored Soul Spear through the air. This time, he was shocked once again. The Nine-Colored Soul Spear was almost as fast as Jiang Xiaonu. In a blink of an eye, it traveled more than three kilometers. In the past, he would lose control of his Rainbow Soul Spear from three kilometers away. Now, he could still remain easily in control.
Six kilometers, fifteen kilometers… thirty kilometers!
At last, the Nine-Colored Soul Spear stopped thirty kilometers away. Jiang Yi could not will it to go any further. There was pure joy on his face. The Soul Spear’s speed had improved by three times. In other words, its power multiplied three times as well. In the past, the Rainbow Soul Spear could already kill five-star formidable martial artists. What kind of formidable martial artists could this Nine-Colored Soul Spear kill? Jiang Yi had no idea, but he guessed that he could seriously injure even nine-star formidable martial artists.
“Hahaha, what a good thing!”
This came as a complete surprise to him. Ever since he realized the Divinity Slayer, Jiang Yi had not thought about the Rainbow Soul Spear. Now, the spear’s speed and power had become so impressive that he could not help but feel surprised. Nobody would complain about having too many mystical abilities after all.
“Soul-Devouring Crocodiles, come at me!”
Jiang Yi cried out in a low voice. He kept the Nine-Colored Soul Spear back into his spiritual consciousness. At the same time, he controlled the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles so that they entered his head between his eyebrows. Upon entering his mind, the Nine-Colored Soul Spear crushed them. Since the spear did not swallow the energy any longer, Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit absorbed the energy instead.
“Little Chan’er, protect me. I’m going to congeal a god spirit!”
Jiang Yi called out once again. Yi Chan quickly summoned her lightning bolts to shield her body. She stood three hundred meters behind Jiang Yi and kept a close eye on her surroundings. Although it was safe there, congealing a god spirit was a key step. Jiang Yi could not afford any surprises.
Tsk! Tsk!
One by one, the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles kept flying toward Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit kept growing. When it reached its maximum, his primordial spirit would collapse and resurrect again to form a god spirit. Once his god spirit was congealed, the Nine Heaven Stars would give him over three forces of star spheres. Jiang Yi’s body and soul would then be transformed into that of a Demigod’s.
There were more than enough Soul-Devouring Crocodiles in the Mystic Divine Palace. In these seven hundred thousand years, the palace’s restrictions automatically created tens of millions of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles. Jiang Yi aside, the sheer number of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles there was could help ten other people congeal god spirits. Of course, the remaining people were not as freaky as Jiang Yi: just one slip-up could cause their souls to break down.
Time ticked by. An hour passed. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit had already absorbed the energy of thousands of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles. His primordial spirit was now double its original size, still continuing to grow.
Two hours later, his primordial spirit became as big as a finger. Finally, it could not grow any bigger. After absorbing a few hundred more Soul-Devouring Crocodiles, cracks appeared in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit. It was splitting apart slowly.
“Ah…”
Jiang Yi cried out in excruciating pain. Yi Chan turned to look at him and shouted, “Jiang Yi, hang in there! Hold on to your heart and congeal a god spirit!”
Even without Yi Chan’s reminder, Jiang Yi’s temperament was strong enough. This pain was past his threshold, but he knew he had to hang on. He focused on Yi Chan’s instructions about how to congeal a god spirit. He quickened the breakdown of his own soul spirit.
Slowly, the pain in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit weakened. The soul spirit began to fix itself according to a special shape. Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but what happened next shook him to his core!
Because—
The Nine-Colored Soul Spear flew into his soul spirit and merged together with it while it was repairing itself. All of this was beyond Jiang Yi’s control. All he could do was allow the two entities to merge and mutate.
At last; a small, red sword as thick as his own finger appeared in Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness. The Nine-Colored Soul Spear and all its energy were gone now. Instead, a red sword stood in its place. It looked exactly like the Fire Dragon Sword. Even the patterns on it were exactly the same as the ones on the Fire Dragon Sword!
“Heavens!”
Jiang Yi was sure that the process was complete. He opened his eyes, his face a mask of disbelief and disappointment. How could his primordial spirit swallow a weapon as formidable as the Nine-Colored Soul Spear? He had just been celebrating the fact that he obtained such a strong mystical ability earlier. Now, it was all gone. It was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions.
“Jiang Yi, why…?”
Yi Chan muttered under her breath. At that exact moment, five beams of divine light shone down from the Nine Heavens, shining right into the Mystic Divine Palace. At last, the five beams of divine light entered Jiang Yi’s body at a terrifying speed.
Yi Chan could not even finish her sentence before she jumped back in shock. “Five forces of star spheres? Wouldn’t Demigods just get three forces? What’s happening to Jiang Yi’s body?”
