Chains of Heaven That Traverse the Void, Hoping to Bind the Divine

Yu Zhen had never been the pedantic, stubborn type. When he heard that Yu Nanyuan wanted to fuse with this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake and make it his Soul Spirit, he did not immediately step forward and reject the idea out of worry. Instead, he calmly pondered a few things.

Ji Hongyu would definitely not harm Yu Nanyuan. Since he had gone so far as to use internal channels to have the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, an Unsubmissive Soul Spirit, transported over from Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters, that meant he had considerable confidence that Yu Nanyuan and this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake could successfully complete the fusion.

"Lao Ji, how confident are you?" After mulling it over for a moment, Yu Zhen suddenly asked Ji Hongyu.

Ji Hongyu said solemnly, "No matter how high a Soul Spirit's quality is, its cultivation is still right there for all to see. In truth, with Nanyuan's level of Spiritual Power and Body Strength, he could possibly attempt to fuse directly with a Thousand Year Soul Spirit. It's just that there's no need for us to make him endure that risk. Lao Yu, I said earlier that I would personally preside over Nanyuan's Soul Spirit Contract Ritual. There are two ways to form a contract with a Soul Spirit. One is an equal contract, and the other is a master-servant contract. However, in this current era, equal contracts are almost impossible, so only master-servant contracts can be used. In that case, the most important thing in this process is making this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake submit."

"Nanyuan's Spiritual Power has already reached the Spirit Connection Realm Middle Stage. His Spiritual Power is far stronger than a Soul Spirit at the same level as his own cultivation, so he happens to have the advantage in this aspect, enough to withstand the backlash from the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's will. After that, he has to suppress it in terms of attribute. I sensed it carefully before. The Space Attribute of Nanyuan's Mutated Martial Soul, Void Chains, should be stronger than that of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake. He even endured the pain of his Spiritual Sea rupturing, so there definitely won't be any problem with Nanyuan's willpower. Add my support from the side, and at the very least I can protect his safety. It can be said that only Nanyuan alone is able to attempt this method."

"Of course, Lao Yu, you also know that risk is something that can never be one hundred percent reduced to zero."

Yu Zhen's tightly furrowed brows slowly eased, and he turned his eyes toward Yu Nanyuan beside him.

"Grandpa, if I miss this Soul Spirit, I very likely may regret it for the rest of my life." Yu Nanyuan still showed not the slightest intention of backing down. He had never been willing to settle for mediocrity, so naturally he was unwilling to let go of a Top-tier Soul Spirit like the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, which could suppress even a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Moreover, the source of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake bloodline came from a Different Dimension. It was one of the rare special Soul Spirits that would not be suppressed by the Dragon God's aura.

Yu Zhen was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "All right, Nanyuan. Grandpa believes you will definitely succeed."

The higher a person's position, the broader their horizons tended to be, and the less indecisive they were. After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Yu Zhen nodded in agreement.

Ji Hongyu was not surprised by this result either. As he guided Yu Nanyuan toward a platform in the center of the room, he spoke to Yu Zhen with his back turned. "Oh, right, Lao Yu, the price of this Unsubmissive Soul Spirit, the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, is fifty million Federal currency."

"Fifty million Federal currency? Lao Ji, you're not mistaken, are you?" The smile on Yu Zhen's face vanished instantly. The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he raised a hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

If he had not known Ji Hongyu since childhood, he would have thought Ji Hongyu was deliberately swindling him.

The price of an ordinary Ten-Year Soul Spirit was generally seventy thousand Federal currency, while a hundred-year Soul Spirit was worth one million Federal currency. The higher the cultivation and quality, the more expensive it became, and so on. Those priced at over ten million Federal currency were all high-level Soul Spirits above the Thousand Year Level. As for a price of fifty million Federal currency, that was even enough to buy those eight-thousand-year or nine-thousand-year Soul Spirits whose cultivation was close to ten thousand years.

The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake did indeed have extraordinary potential, but normally speaking, it still should not have been worth this price.

"If some of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's Innate Abilities can be thoroughly understood, they can be used to refine and improve the Spirit Ascension Platform system. To our Spirit Transfer Pagoda, this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake serves more of a scientific research purpose. That is why the price was set at fifty million Federal currency." Ji Hongyu looked completely businesslike.

It was precisely because of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's exorbitant price and harsh fusion requirements that it had been preserved by the Spirit Transfer Pagoda from the Primeval Era until now.

"Fine, Lao Ji. Have someone settle the bill later."

After hearing Ji Hongyu put it that way, Yu Zhen simply and straightforwardly placed a black card made of special material on the table before him, and his entire person relaxed quite a bit.

Although fifty million Federal currency was not a small sum, to him, the Dean of Eastsea Academy, it actually did not amount to much. Besides, Ji Hongyu bringing this up at this time just so happened to show that he had everything well in hand.

The last trace of worry in Yu Zhen's heart also completely dispersed.

The two had known each other for decades. They still had this much tacit understanding.

Yu Nanyuan stood at the very center of the circular platform according to Ji Hongyu's instructions. Just like the hall on the first floor of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda earlier, some obscure and complicated arrays were also branded onto the circular platform. He keenly noticed that the patterns of the two types of arrays were clearly different.

Clearly, the array in the hall on the first floor of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda was used to assist awakening, while the array on this circular platform was used to assist fusion with a Soul Spirit. Around this platform were also all kinds of advanced instruments.

Ji Hongyu stopped in front of Yu Nanyuan, and Yu Zhen also followed to the edge of the platform.

"Let's begin, Grandpa Ji. I'm already prepared." Yu Nanyuan's gaze was firm, and the smile on his face held a composure that did not match his age, but those perfect, noble golden eyes gave off a pure and natural feeling.

Ji Hongyu looked at Yu Nanyuan with a smile, then a low chant came from his mouth. This was the Soul Spirit fusion contract method left behind by the Spirit Ice Douluo back then. Only a small number of Soul Masters skilled in Spiritual Power could control it.

Rings of golden halos spread outward from the array beneath Yu Nanyuan's feet, and gentle fluctuations of light element began to fill the entire room.

Through chanting an incantation, Ji Hongyu actually used a light-attribute ability completely opposite to his own Martial Soul's attribute. Dazzling golden light swallowed the figures of the two, and all around them was a brilliant expanse of gold. It was as if the two had arrived in an independent, empty space.

With a flash of silver light, a light and shadow abruptly appeared in front of Yu Nanyuan. It was precisely that miniature Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, its black eyes filled with an icy gleam.

Yu Nanyuan, however, had fallen into a wondrous state. All emotion contained in his eyes disappeared, leaving only an indifferent calm without sorrow or joy.

"Chains of Heaven that traverse the void, hoping to bind the divine."

"Clatter, clatter, clatter—" As Yu Nanyuan slowly raised his right hand, countless Void Chains engraved with wondrous silver patterns instantly filled this space. The dazzling silver light flickering on the chains completely suppressed the silver light on the surface of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's body, as if an invisible pressure had swept over.

That Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake began to struggle madly, fear growing in its eyes. This pressure seemed branded into its bloodline and soul, passed down from generation to generation. It was the fatal threat their Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake clan had felt when they first descended upon the Douluo Plane, coming from the Douluo Plane Will's instinctive rejection of creatures from a Different Dimension.

From Yu Zhen and Ji Hongyu's perspective, the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's body became illusory beyond its control, then merged into Yu Nanyuan's body.

The most difficult hurdle had already been passed. Next came the fusion that would proceed as naturally as water flows into a channel.

Yu Zhen and Ji Hongyu looked at each other in speechless dismay. They had never imagined that the fusion between Yu Nanyuan and the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake would go this smoothly.
