Chapter 1199: I’ll let You Swallow a Bun

With the divine silkworms gone, Jiang Yi had no choice but to come up with another way to congeal a god spirit. However, even after searching through all the treasures in the Mystic Divine Palace, he only found countless treasures and weapons. There were very few spirit herbs. Perhaps too much time had passed that the spirit herbs had rotten away by now.

“That’s right, the Yellow Springs Path!”

Jiang Yi suddenly smacked his own head. There were indeed few spirit herbs in Mystic Divine Palace, but there was a huge number of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles. That was where his Rainbow Soul Spear formed as well. At that time, his primordial spirit grew at a frightening speed.

“Little Chan’er, let’s go.”

Jiang Yi shouted out. In a flash, both of them arrived at the Yellow Springs Path. Yi Chan scanned the surroundings and released a lightning bolt. The Soul-Devouring Crocodiles on this Yellow Springs Path were terrifying.

“Keke, don’t worry, they won’t attack you!”

The sound of the air cracking came from all around them. Jiang Yi waved his hand once, and all the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles immediately turned to charge toward him. They kept shooting toward the middle of his eyebrows. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles had entered his mind, but not one of them attacked Yi Chan.

“Uh...”

Yi Chan blinked. What was Jiang Yi trying to do? Could his soul withstand so many Soul-Devouring Crocodiles entering it? Even if it could, was he not suffering?

Soon enough, Jiang Yi offered her an explanation. The Rainbow Soul Spear appeared once again and chased after the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles on its own. Jiang Yi realized that his primordial spirit was getting far too little energy with the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles entering his spiritual consciousness. The Rainbow Soul Spear was a gangster: it snatched whatever spiritual energy it could grab hold of. What’s more, it was a hundred times faster than his primordial spirit.

“Since you like devouring souls so much, I’ll let you have your fill.”

Jiang Yi muttered under his breath. He was not going to bother about his primordial spirit any longer. This Rainbow Soul Spear kept flying around his body, breaking every single Soul-Devouring Crocodile that it passed into pieces and swallowing their energy. He wanted to see just when the Rainbow Soul Spear would finally stop.

“Soul-Devouring Crocodiles, come over here!”

Since Jiang Yi had full control of the Mystic Divine Palace, it was only natural that he could easily control the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles inside it as well. Although there were three different levels of checkpoints in the Mystic Divine Palace, they were all in the same strange space. People going through the challenges would not have known, but the three Yellow Springs Paths—for example—were all in the same space. There were three Fengdu Cities in the same space as well. They were separated by restrictions that visitors would not have been able to see.

Jiang Yi summoned all the Soul-Devouring Crocodiles toward him. At any time, he could stop the attacks. Thus, he was not at all afraid that he would be in danger. Yi Chan, on the other hand, was frightened. Seeing the dense crowd of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles—which she could not see the end of, she immediately grabbed Jiang Yi’s hands fearfully with both of her own.

“Hehe, don’t be afraid. I have control over everything in the Mystic Divine Palace.”

Jiang Yi turned around and smiled gently to Yi Chan, reaching out to stroke her. After their intimate encounter back in Mystic Thearch Pavilion, their relationship seemed to have improved. This time, Yi Chan did not retract from his touch. Instead, she watched the Rainbow Soul Spear dance around in mid-air, killing the Soul Devouring Crocodiles easily. Curiously, she asked, “Jiang Yi, what are you doing? How will the martial artists go through the checkpoints if you kill all these ugly monsters?”

“Hahaha!”

Women in love most definitely had an intelligence quotient of zero. Jiang Yi reached out and pinched Yi Chan’s nose playfully. “Little Chan’er, why are you so stupid? The Mystic Divine Palace is under my control. Will there be any more martial artists here going through the checkpoints? Even if my descendants want to come through to practice, the Yellow Springs Path’s powers allow it to regenerate Soul Devouring Crocodiles automatically. The Mystic Thearch is truly a genius.”

“My name is Little Chan’er, not Little Chan’er¹!” Yi Chan rolled her eyes and scrunched up her nose. “What’s more, only my father and grandfather can call me that. You’re not allowed to do so.”

“Hahahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out in joy. Who would have thought that the famous Yi Chan would throw a tantrum like a little child? Who would have thought she would be so childish?

Was she not usually cold toward outsiders? She always could care less. For some reason, Jiang Yi felt proud of himself. He had control over the second most beautiful woman in the world and could make her throw a tantrum in front of him. Which man would not feel proud if he was able to do such a thing?

As the two of them continued to flirt, the Rainbow Soul Spear continued to kill thousands of Soul-Devouring Crocodiles. It became brighter and brighter, lighting up the entire Yellow Springs Path. Slowly, the spear grew smaller. It was getting ready to advance to the next level.

Jiang Yi did not harbor much hope for the Rainbow Soul Spear. He allowed it to swallow soul spirit attacks because he was hoping that it would be full. He did not want it to steal his primordial spirit’s energy anymore. With the Divinity Slayer and the Fire Dragon Sword, all Jiang Yi really wanted to do was break through to the Demigod Realm. He wanted his divine artifacts and nine-star dao pattern to become much more powerful. The Rainbow Soul Spear’s power, on the other hand, did not mean much to him. With a god spirit, spiritual attacks would mean nothing to Demigods.

“Little Chan’er, do you think Xing Mengwan could be the mastermind? Why does the Heaven Nether Sect have divine artifacts? Where did they get these from?” Since there was nothing for them to do, Jiang Yi carried Yi Chan and sat on a patch of grass by the Yellow Springs Path. He wanted to analyze the situation with her.

Yi Chan leaned against Jiang Yi, reaching out to play with his red hair. Her eyes clouded over as her mind became occupied. “The Heaven Nether Sect is really suspicious. As to how the divine artifacts came about, only they would now. What I can’t figure out is what they would gain by doing something like that. Why would they want humans and demons to go to war and kill billions of people? This would mean nothing to them. That’s unless they want to take control of the entire world and become a mighty kingdom.”

“En... that makes sense!”

Jiang Yi lightly combed Yi Chan’s purple hair. From time to time, he would bring up a lock of hair to his face and smell it. In a low voice, he said, “If they want to take over the world, then they would need to cause chaos in it. The formidable martial artists must die. Your grandfather and the others are still stuck in the Black Sea. All the formidable martial artists of Sin Island are dead. Many Demigods have perished at the Endless Deep Sea as well. This would help them to take control of the world.”

“Actually, I don’t think that power is what the Heaven Nether Sect wants.”

Yi Chan seemed to have thought of something. She shook her head. “Throughout history, the Nine Thearch Clans have met different threats. Let’s take the Blood Thearch two hundred thousand years ago for example. At the time, the Blood Thearch was incredibly strong. He had the power to crush any of the Nine Thearchs. The Blood Thearch turned the entire continent upside down and killed many of the Nine Thearch Clans’ Demigods. At last, although we managed to defeat the Blood Thearch, more than half of the Demigods in the continent were dead.

“If the Heaven Nether Sect tried to take over control of the world then, it would likely be successful. According to the history books, the Clan Head of the Heaven Nether Sect at the time was almost as strong as the Blood Thearch. There was also a frightening number of Demigods in the sect. Yet, they did not try to take over the world. Instead, they helped the Nine Thearch Clans to subdue the Blood Thearch...”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi blinked, feeling confused. Yi Chan continued, “The Heaven Nether Sect is very strange. They don’t normally show their faces. At the very most, their Saint Lady would contact the Nine Thearch Clans. They would only appear when the world was in trouble. From what they have been doing throughout history, their sect is a just but low-key one. From the standpoint of the Nine Thearch Clans, I don’t think they’re the mastermind!

“My grandfather said something before: the Heaven Nether Sect has the strictest rules among all the sects. They’re even stricter than the Nine Thearch Clans! If their Clan Head causes trouble, he would not just be dethroned, but he would be killed immediately!”
