Continue Fusing Skills
Because Xu Bai's cheat ability has been upgraded several times, its speed has been greatly improved. Even the Entering Sainthood Failure Insights can be completed in a very short time.
No one bothered Xu Bai, because everyone knew that Xu Bai had important business to attend to.
One day, when Xu Bai put down the book in his hand, the pale blue smoke in front of him formed the latest attribute panel.
[Name: Xu Bai]
[Realm Level: First-Rank First Rank Loose Cultivator]
[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Mountain Sea Art (Sainthood Level 1): Max Level]
[Myriad Attacks (Sainthood Level 2): Max Level]
[Myriad Defenses (Sainthood Tier 2): Max Level]
[Myriad Miscellaneous Arts (Saintly Level 3): Max Level]
[Myriad Assistance (Saintly Rank 3): Max Level]
[Myriad Strange Arts (Sainthood Level 2): Max Level]
[Comprehension: Max level.]
This fusion has elevated Myriad Assistance to the third level of Sainthood, while Myriad Strange Arts have been elevated to the second level of Sainthood. This is a huge improvement. Although the strength of the skills themselves has not increased much, the strength of the skills has made great progress.
This time it went smoothly as well. He also incorporated the method of assisting the soul into it. Xu Bai has now mastered it and raised it to the level of sainthood.
Beside them, only Liu Qingfeng was waiting. In order not to delay Xu Ling's progress, he told Xu Ling to continue studying.
So there were only the two of them here. After Xu Bai put down the book in his hand, Liu Qingfeng already knew that Xu Bai had thoroughly understood the book.
"Can it be resolved?" Liu Qingfeng asked.
During this time, Yun Zihai remained unconscious, lying in the Royal Palace Treasury, his body visibly deteriorating.
Since this was a joint effort by Chief Mu and other experts, it could only have a suppressive effect. The longer the suppression lasted, the easier it would be to get injured.
Once it fully erupts, it will be far more terrifying than before.
Xu Bai nodded. "It's time to resolve all of this."
He didn't say anything more, but came to Yun Zihai's side, lowered his head, and placed his hand on Yun Zihai's forehead.
A massive surge of divine soul power flooded into Yun Zihai's mind, while Xu Bai closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
In the past, Xu Bai only possessed the ability to cultivate his soul, and he couldn't perceive things in great detail.
Destroying his soul would be easy for him, but experiencing it would be more difficult.
But now it's different. With the aid of his divine soul integrated into the process, he can personally feel the changes in Yun Zihai.
At this moment, in Yun Zihai's mind, countless worlds were each occupying their own place, clearly distinct from one another.
Yun Zihai's soul was as weak as an ant, constantly hiding in the gaps between countless worlds, fearing that it would be caught and destroyed.
Xu Bai finally understood that if Yun Zihai's soul was completely destroyed, then this body would become a springboard to countless worlds, and they could enter and exit as they pleased.
Even killing Yun Zihai wouldn't make any difference, because his soul had already been destroyed and the springboard had been formed.
It's like setting a coordinate system; simply erasing the surface is useless because the coordinate system is already etched into the very marrow.
"How can I awaken Yun Zihai and turn his disadvantages into advantages?" After figuring out the cause, Xu Bai fell into deep thought, pondering how to solve the problem.
He carefully sensed it, and at first he thought that if he could attack on his own, he could destroy the souls of gods and spirits in countless worlds, and perhaps there was a way.
But later, he abandoned the decision because he felt that these countless worlds were actually connected to Yun Zihai.
If these countless worlds are destroyed, Yun Zihai's soul will also be destroyed, and Xu Bai may not be able to make it in time.
The reason why it's said that it's too late is because Yun Zihai's soul is too fragile. Every time a world is destroyed, it damages Yun Zihai's soul.
If too many worlds are destroyed, Yun Zihai's soul might dissipate prematurely, and Xu Bai can only destroy a portion of the worlds; there simply isn't enough time to continue destroying the remaining ones.
Therefore, Yun Zihai becoming a springboard will become a reality.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it, but perhaps the one who unties the knot and the one who tied it is not me, but Yun Zihai himself."
He recalled the words of the old man who betrayed the world: if it truly is a matter of the one who tied the knot to untie it, then Yun Zihai is the one who truly needs to put those words into practice.
With this in mind, Xu Bai had an idea: if he could help Yun Zihai strengthen his divine soul and make Yun Zihai the leader, then these countless worlds would no longer invade.
This is a very simple principle, because in the current situation, Yun Zihai is in a weak position.
Once he is destroyed, countless worlds will swarm in. If Yun Zihai is in a strong position and becomes the dominant one, he can suppress countless worlds in turn.
With a plan in mind, Xu Bai also found a solution. He closed his eyes and carefully enveloped Yun Zihai's soul using the auxiliary techniques within his divine soul.
The next moment, Yun Zihai's soul seemed to have found a savior, surging towards Xu Bai and conveying an aura of exhaustion and despair to Xu Bai.
"If that's the case, then it must be the method of reverse irrigation." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
One method mentioned in this method of assisting the soul is to use one's own soul to infuse into the soul of another person, temporarily providing them with powerful soul energy.
Because it's a temporary arrangement, it solves one drawback: there's no need to worry about the recipient being overwhelmed.
However, while it can solve the drawbacks, there is also a drawback. The most obvious drawback is that it is a temporary concentration of the mind.
It requires re-injection every so often, making it a very complex process.
But this wasn't a big problem for Xu Bai; he could just temporarily infuse the energy into Yun Zihai. Once Yun Zihai woke up, he would have Yun Zihai Yun Zihai the method of the soul to enhance his own soul.
The immediate priority is to provide emergency relief.
Therefore, Xu Bai did not hesitate and directly used the Divine Soul Assistance Technique.
The next moment, his powerful divine soul was violently poured into it. Yun Zihai's originally weak divine soul, which could only survive in the cracks, was growing at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, it had become so strong that it surpassed countless worlds.
"I really have to thank you for your clear distinction, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do anything."
If the countless worlds were not clearly separated, but merged together, even Xu Bai would not be able to win with certainty. But now it's different. He only needs to defeat the strongest one, and Yun Zihai will be able to stop him.
Because of the depletion of his own spiritual energy, he possesses a powerful method of recovery, so this amount of consumption is nothing to him.
In just a short while, Xu Bai's soul had recovered completely, while Yun Zihai, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was in a coma, and his soul was even suppressed by countless worlds, but that did not mean he was unaware of what was happening outside. He was not surprised to wake up this time. Although he had survived a calamity, he felt a sense of peace.
"Brother Xu, I owe you a huge favor this time." Yun Zihai, "If they really succeed, I might become a sinner to everyone, and I will be written in history books and despised by thousands."
As he spoke, Yun Zihai stood up.
Xu Bai said, "Brother Yun, you know what you should do from now on, right? Focus on your soul, because I can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Every now and then, I will infuse you with energy to ensure that you are not suppressed by other worlds."
Yun Zihai nodded. He knew exactly what he should do, but he had something more important to deal with right now.
Thinking of this, he organized his thoughts and then turned to Xu Bai.
"Brother Xu, when I was being suppressed by countless worlds, I kept wandering in the cracks and discovered a secret that might be useful to you."
Xu Bai thought the matter was over, but Yun Zihai's words piqued his interest.
"What secret?"
Seeing Yun Zihai's serious and solemn expression, he realized that this matter was not so simple.
Yun Zihai thought for a moment, then organized his thoughts and said, "In my mind, there are countless doors to other worlds. They want to use me as a springboard, but when I was struggling to survive, I saw another door. This door did not come from any of the countless worlds, but from the world we live in."
Beside him, Liu Qingfeng listened to their conversation, completely bewildered and at a loss for words.
Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
In short, not knowing the ins and outs of the matter, he can only listen to it as a joke for now.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "What lies behind this door in our world?"
Yun Zihai said solemnly, "Ruins!"
Ruins?
Xu Bai stroked his chin, paced back and forth for a moment, and pondered what Yun Zihai had just said.
Even though Yun Zihai was talking about the Ghost Market, Xu Bai wasn't this cautious.
But the Ruins are different. Inside the Ruins, there is a Supreme Saint locked away. Now, a door is open in Yun Zihai's mind. What does this mean? Xu Bai doesn't know because there are no clues.
But now, someone who has experienced it firsthand is here, and he asked another question.
"Have you sensed anything behind the door, or rather... have you tried to get closer to it?"
Yun Zihai, "Because of our world, I tried to get closer and seek help. But when I tried to get closer, I felt that there were two forces competing inside the door. One force was very strong, but it was bound, while the other force was slightly weaker, but it was very free."
Two forces?
Xu Bai realized that the one who was very strong but bound must be Supreme Saint, but he had no idea what the other one was.
However, we can't just rely on what Yun Zihai says; some things you need to experience for yourself.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai said to Yun Zihai, "Brother Yun, let me examine your soul and see what exactly is inside?"
Since this matter was so important, Yun Zihai naturally didn't hesitate and readily agreed, even releasing his divine soul.
Xu Bai once again activated his divine soul power, entering Yun Zihai's mind to explore the world within.
There are too many worlds, and Xu Bai can sense that as long as he gets close to these worlds, they will hide away in fear.
However, his target this time was not these worlds, so he ignored them and instead searched the gaps for the door from his own world that Yun Zihai had mentioned.
Time passed slowly, and searching for an outlier among countless worlds naturally took a lot of time. Xu Bai's brows gradually furrowed, and he felt that the more he searched, the more complicated it became.
While he was searching, at this moment, within the Ruins, a humanoid creature composed of light, called "Ruins," was sitting cross-legged high in the sky.
The Ruins were unclear, and his facial features were unreadable, but he remained motionless, like a piece of wood.
He is now very distressed, completely unable to understand the original purpose of the Supreme Saint, especially the meaning of the Supreme Saint's words "finally found it".
He knew perfectly well that the Supreme Saint must have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.
As a matter of course, he wanted to contact Xu Bai and warn Xu Bai to be careful. Although he didn't know what kind of conspiracy it was, he wanted to give him a warning, and he also had a lot to say to Xu Bai.
Following the clues he already knew—that the Supreme Saint intended to have countless worlds invade—he used these clues to open Daoist Sect in the cracks between those countless worlds.
He wanted to use this opportunity to contact Xu Bai, but then he had no further ideas.
Because he didn't know what to do next, he couldn't descend to that world, because he had a more important task here.
The Ruins were also a means to an end. His goal was to use his remaining strength to trap the Supreme Saint. He knew that he had less and less time to trap him, but he could not leave prematurely.
If he can keep them trapped for as long as possible, then he will; this is his final responsibility.
But now he can't get in touch with Xu Bai, which makes him anxious and he doesn't know what to do.
"Sigh... I should at least issue a warning, but how should I do that?"
"We have lived countless years longer than the Supreme Saint. He must have some kind of conspiracy. How can I unravel the clues?"
"No, even if I can figure out the clues, I can't notify Xu Bai. If I can't notify Xu Bai, what's the point of me figuring out the clues by myself?"
As Ruins formed from countless remaining worlds and painstakingly assembled, he now felt a severe headache.
Just as he was becoming increasingly anxious and his headache was getting worse, he suddenly sensed something unusual.
The Ruins changed from a seated posture to a standing posture, and waved slightly at the void in front of it. The void continued to condense, and finally condensed into a mirror.
In the mirror, he saw a divine soul gradually approaching the door he had built.
The Ruins was extremely excited; he could sense the owner of this divine soul.
"It's him!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, he stopped thinking about anything else and quickly released his information, conveying his goodwill through the Daoist Sect.
Within Yun Zihai's soul, Xu Bai was gradually approaching when he suddenly sensed an aura emanating from him...
