The Final Link

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi didn't know how short a time was, because Cheng Cheng herself didn't know either; she hadn't tried it.

However, when she first created her clone, she followed this method. It was a Secret Method specifically designed for half-demon bloodlines, one of the few Ancient Inheritance that had survived from the early days of the Demon City.

She knew that when a human body also cultivates, using the Secret Method to unite two bodies would definitely lead to a significant improvement in realm, but since the cultivation of the human body was still shallow, it could not be done for long.

However, separating is easy, but merging is difficult. Combining different cultivation methods is inherently awkward and impossible without special assistance; even Secret Method are useless. It's better not to cultivate at all. When you want to merge, you can do so at will, but once you start cultivating, you can't merge anymore. This is why Cheng Cheng has never cultivated a human form.

However, when Qin Yi returned from the Land of Chaos, he brought back a Harmonious Union Pill, which had the effect of fusing different attributes. At that time, Qin Yi felt that it might be useful for Cheng Cheng's dual-body fusion, and it was precisely because of this pill that Cheng Cheng's human body began to cultivate.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that." Hearing Cheng Cheng's explanation, Qin Yi remembered that there really was such a thing. "Then try combining your powers first, see how long it lasts?"

Cheng Cheng and Chengcheng each took a Harmonious Union Pill and then extended their right palms to press together.

All the demons eagerly awaited the birth of the Demon Emperor, whom they hadn't seen in nearly ten thousand years, even if only for a fleeting moment.

Qin Yi was also looking forward to seeing this girl who had just been whining to him transform into an unparalleled demon emperor.

The air stood still for a moment.

Both Cheng Cheng wore perfectly synchronized awkward smiles.

No response.

Qin Yi hurriedly asked, "What problem have you encountered?"

"This body has been separated from the original for too long, hundreds of years without reunion, and then she practiced pure human Daoist cultivation..." Cheng Cheng said awkwardly, "She has lost her demonic nature, and feels somewhat estranged from her original body... and then..."

"How?"

"Then this body, jealous of the original, becomes even more resistant."

"???" The demons stared in disbelief, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Qin Yi wiped his sweat. "She doesn't have her own consciousness, isn't she supposed to be a dual-use soul?"

"The body possesses its own spirit, has been independent for a long time, and even without conscious awareness, it has a subconscious mind." Cheng Cheng wiped her sweat. "What do we do now?"

You dared to insult yourself? You really messed up this time...

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yi finally managed to utter, "What else can we do? Dual cultivation!"

Dual cultivation, the only solution, is to ensure that both bodies share his traits while also eliminating the "jealousy" and rejection inherent in human bodies. Qin Yi had never intended to use dual cultivation as a utilitarian method before, but this time it seems he has no choice...

Cheng Cheng also thought of this, and her pretty face blushed.

All the monsters looked up at the sky, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

Cheng Cheng stamped her foot. "What are you all standing here for? Spread out and guard the key points!"

The Humble Origins standing nearby stared wide-eyed. "Your Majesty... what are you going to do?"

"Of course we'll settle it here. Why would we go back?" Cheng Cheng waved her hand, and a canopy rose, blocking the monsters' view. "Ever since your King was caught being kissed and groped in front of everyone, this day was bound to come sooner or later!"

Qin Yi recalled a TV series he had watched many years ago... The emperor was having sex with a woman in the wilderness, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs who held up a cloth to block the view, while the prince who secretly loved the woman stood guard outside...

If it's allowed on TV, why can't I do it?

Of course, it cannot be written.

It got dark.

The monsters around looked up at the stars in the sky and thought they were all green.

That kid had it so good! The same person got to experience two completely different sensations for the first time... It was an experience unlike any other in the world!

Just thinking about it makes the demon furious.

At first, everyone thought that the king would go with him in his human form, and that his demon form choosing a demon would be considered a good deal. But then he actually conquered the demon form first, and the human form became the prey, to be saved for now, to be eaten right before their eyes...

That's outrageous!

I never expected that kid, who looks so clean and handsome, to be so strong in combat... How long have we been standing guard outside...?

Actually, there's nothing to defend at all. Where did these external enemies come from? It's just that the king is venting his anger on them.

It's no wonder the King is angry. It's one thing for her to like Qin Yi, but having to rely on Qin Yi for everything while her subordinates are completely useless is a truly frustrating feeling for a king. "Then you can just stay here. There's nothing else you can do anyway."

That's roughly the idea.

Anyone can do dual cultivation, but you have to be willing to use someone else, is that our fault...?

Hmm, no, that's not right. They really don't know how to practice dual cultivation. That's a Daoist practice, and it has nothing to do with demons. Even those foxes with innate talents aren't the same thing...

The monsters all drooped their heads, their expressions perfectly mirroring those of Ye Ling hanging from the tree.

He's already a useless demon in the entire city...

Originally, since they didn't rely on Qin Yi in the second half of the Rift Valley expedition, everyone had at least regained some confidence. But then they were dealt a heavy blow at the end, and their morale was completely crushed. It's unclear how long it will take for them to recover.

That was so tragic.

After an unknown amount of time, the moon was high in the sky. A sense of dread suddenly arose in the hearts of the demons, followed by an unconscious surge of subservience and worship, as if a king had descended to earth and the demons were bowing their heads in submission.

Demon Emperor!

Ying Li was the first to react, and overjoyed, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Your My Emperor!"

The curtain slowly parted, Cheng Cheng strolled out.

The two bodies have merged into one, yet the image remains quite typical—white robes with gold rings, bare feet beneath the skirt, fox ears and a fox tail...

It's impossible to know whether this was how it was after the fusion, or whether Qin Yi liked her that way... but the incomparably powerful aura of the Demon Emperor was genuine, and the throbbing from his bloodline and soul proved that this was indeed the Emperor that the Demon City hadn't seen for ten thousand years.

Inside and outside the valley, the demons bowed down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ye Ling climbed down from the tree, abandoned her lazy attitude, and knelt down respectfully.

This is the supreme authority that is etched into the very bones of the demon.

In fact, Qin Yi didn't know why the fifth realm of Demon Cultivator was Emperor. It must be related to the ancient tribal system. Emperors should be leaders of their tribes. Above them were Ancestor Saint, immortal gods and totems that transcended their tribes.

That's roughly it. For humans, the Qian Yuan realm is roughly the pinnacle of a normal cultivator's level. According to many stories, those above the Qian Yuan realm should ascend to immortality. However, in this world, there seems to be no concept of ascension... except for that man-made celestial palace.

He didn't have time to consider these things. Cheng Cheng duration of Chengcheng's union was determined at the moment of the union, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It wasn't very short, but it couldn't be wasted.

As Cheng Cheng emerged from the curtain and all the demons bowed their heads, Qin Yi had already flown up the mountain and, following Liusu's directions, found a seemingly unremarkable rock halfway up the mountain.

Then he bit his fingertip and quickly carved a talisman shape on the rock with his blood.

Door Opening Talisman.

The name sounds rustic, but it's actually a universally applicable talisman designed to open backdoors to seals or restrictions. Its meaning is similar to "Open Sesame," and you just need to find the right spot.

On the Saint Dragon Peak, which was completely devoid of any pits, a cave slowly appeared.

The positioning was perfect; Liusu knew her old rival's tactics all too well...

Cheng Cheng quickly ordered, "Ye Ling, come inside with us. The rest of you, continue guarding. There must be no casualties!"

Qin Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this instruction.

Not too many should enter, otherwise Liusu's method of resisting resentment might not be able to protect too many people. One more is the limit, that's right. It should have been Ying Li... Ying Li is already in the late stage of Core Formation. When did Ye Ling reach this level?

But then Cheng Cheng Ye Ling shot over like lightning. Upon closer inspection, Qin Yi realized that Ye Ling's black light was indeed that of a sixth-level Core Formation cultivator.

Amazing, this stinky snake! It seems she hasn't stopped cultivating, even though she's just being cute... With her combat-type Divine Beast Bloodline and various talents and special skills, her sixth level of Core Formation is definitely stronger than Ying Li's seventh level, that's beyond doubt.

Ying Li is losing his prestige, unless he can awaken some special bloodline.

The three of them stood at the cave entrance, and a phantom image floated out from Qin Yi's Wolf Tooth Club. The phantom image turned into a thin mist and enveloped the three of them.

The Liusu transformed into a curtain to resist vengeful spirits.

This was also the first time that Liusu had seriously used its specific soul technique, officially opening the final link of the Transverse Rift Valley.
