Even After Transmigrating into Coiling Dragon, Who Would Still Eat Soft Rice

He sat there for over half a year. Fortunately, when Simon checked in, he had tossed a level-eight Magic Crystal Core to the front desk and generously booked the luxury suite, leading the hotel manager to excitedly promise that Simon and Fanny could stay as long as they liked.

Because of this, no one disturbed them, and Fanny, who was by his side, also fell into a deep state of cultivation and did not rise for a long time.

The Wind Space is truly a high-level Profound Mystery of the wind element; the binding force after just mastering the basics is comparable to the Godhead Domain of a Lowgod. It seems it is time to upgrade the Ice Wind Space as well.

Simon stood up to stretch, and after once again instructing the hotel staff not to disturb them, he immersed himself in cultivation.

Thanks to the Vacuum Binding Art, Simon miraculously managed to harmonize the newly comprehended Wind Space with the Profound Mystery of Wind Element in just a few months. This was truly good news.

Thus, Simon's Wind Element Divine Clone began to comprehend the Wind Space and fuse it with the Profound Mystery of Wind Element at a steady, unhurried pace.

As for the fusion of the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness, Simon temporarily set it aside. In the previous months, his true body had fused them to the final bottleneck, where it remained stuck.

Fortunately, there were many Profound Mysteries in the wind element; if one path was blocked, there were many others. Perhaps a breakthrough inspiration would suddenly come from another Profound Mystery.

This was also the reason why Simon wanted to comprehend more Profound Mysteries now; by drawing parallels, many bottlenecks would be easily resolved.

Sure enough, as Simon continued to study the Vacuum Binding Art and comprehend the Wind Space, he gained a deeper understanding of the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness.

The final bottleneck of the fusion between the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness also began to show signs of loosening.

A year later, feeling that a breakthrough was imminent, Simon woke Fanny up.

"Fanny, wake up. Let's change locations; I feel like I'm about to break through."

"Ah? What? Change locations? Alright then."

So, Simon took the still-dazed Fanny and left the hotel immediately.

The two found a sparsely populated area, and after landing, Simon focused all his energy on preparing for the breakthrough.

Fanny stood guard nearby to ensure Simon remained undisturbed.

Ten days later, the familiar Laws of Heaven and Earth descended once more. Simon floated uncontrollably into the air, and a pale cyan God Divine Spark drifted out from the top of his head, beginning its transformation under the control of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

It was the transformation from a Lowgod God Divine Spark to a God Divine Spark of a Midgod!

A moment later, the wind elements dissipated, and the Laws of Heaven and Earth vanished.

Simon opened his eyes. Triggered by the Vacuum Binding Art, he had finally succeeded in fusing the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness, truly stepping into the realm of a Midgod.

"It seems I have won this wager."

Simon said to Fanny with a smile.

"It's only been a year, and you've already broken through, Simon? You were already close to breaking through, weren't you? I, the wise and brilliant Fanny, actually let myself be tricked by you. Hmph!"

Although Fanny was annoyed at losing the bet, she was actually quite happy.

After all, Simon had promised that once he became a Midgod, he would go to Hell with her...

"Haha, how can you call it a trick? I can't control the pace of cultivation either. Don't be angry, Fanny, okay?"

"Hmph~, then what do you want? Anything I can do or anything I have is fine."

Fanny didn't try to welch on the bet and asked Simon directly.

"I actually do want to ask you for a treasure."

"What treasure?"

"Fanny, you come from Hell. I wonder if you have any treasures on you that are effective for ordinary people to cultivate with? If you do, let that be the stake for this wager."

"Simon, are you talking about Earth Heart Milk? I used it when I was in the Saint Realm. It was extracted by a close friend of my grandfather over tens of thousands of years using a formation in a dangerous location. Drinking a drop while cultivating allows one to sense the fluctuations of the laws more clearly, and it also slowly helps to strengthen the soul."

Chapter 23: Upgrading the Ice Wind Space

"Earth Heart Milk is very mild and is a famous auxiliary cultivation treasure in Hell. It's just very difficult to obtain; at the very least, it requires a grandmaster-level formation expert to extract it. I think I still have some left in my Spatial Ring that I didn't use."

As she spoke, Fanny rummaged around, and an exquisite jade bottle appeared in her hand.

"Here, this is the Earth Heart Milk. It is very effective for Saint Realm cultivation and even has some effect on god-level experts. I just don't know if it's useful for ordinary people."

Looking at the jade bottle in Fanny's small hand, Simon said excitedly, "A rare treasure that is effective for the Saint Realm, and with such mild effects, it should definitely be effective for ordinary people as well."

"Then consider it my loss to you. But there isn't much of this spirit milk left, and it won't do much for you. I'll give you some Soul Golden Beads and Purple Crystals as well; they are useful for both strengthening the soul and rapidly recovering soul power."

As she spoke, Fanny handed a Spatial Ring to Simon.

"Hehe, Fanny, you're the best. These are indeed very useful to me, so I won't stand on ceremony."

At this moment, Simon had long since thrown his vow to never rely on a woman to the back of his mind.

After all, a vow couldn't compare to the value of Soul Golden Beads...

Simon took the Spatial Ring, dripped a drop of blood to claim ownership, and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Good heavens, there were tens of thousands of Soul Golden Beads... and millions of Purple Crystals. Only now did Simon have a truly intuitive understanding of what a super-rich third generation from Hell was like. He suspected that Fanny, this little rich girl, probably ate Soul Golden Beads like beans.

Simon was currently in need of such soul-nourishing items. He could use these Soul Golden Beads and Purple Crystals to strengthen his soul to the limit of each stage without any pressure. With such a large quantity, it would likely be enough to last him until he reached the Highgod realm.

Now, he just had to wait until he returned to his clan to let his parents use the Earth Heart Milk, combined with the Soul Golden Beads. He believed that with such auxiliary conditions, their breakthrough to the Saint Realm would be a certainty.

The clan leader and the others could use them as well.

Afterward, Simon carefully sensed his state after mastering the Profound Mystery of Speed and contemplated the differences after becoming a Midgod. After a long while, he said to Fanny with satisfaction.

"I've finally broken through to the Midgod realm, and the problem that has troubled me for so long is basically solved. Fanny, do you still want to continue touring the Shadow Continent?"

"Since we've come all this way, we might as well look around a bit more, and fulfill my duties as a Plane Guardian one last time."

"That works for me. I'm not in any rush, so let's take a stroll."

With that, the two of them flew toward the west of the Shadow Continent. They would descend to explore whenever they passed a large city, and if Simon's divine sense detected any unfamiliar Lowgods, they would inform them of the relevant information.

Regrettably, Fanny had visited the Shadow Continent ten thousand years ago, at which time there were six Lowgods. Now, after searching the entire continent, they only found four.

Excluding the one who had gone to the Heavenly Realm, the number of god-level experts on the Shadow Continent had decreased by one over these ten millennia. After Fanny found a god-level expert she had met before and inquired, she learned that a great war had broken out among the god-level experts of the Shadow Continent several thousand years ago.

At that time, the entire Shadow Continent had been split into northern and southern factions, each with three Lowgods.

After a fierce battle, the northern faction was defeated, and two Lowgods fell. The remaining one, who specialized in the Profound Mystery of Speed, saw that the situation was dire and fled in a panic toward the Endless Sea, slipping away through the Plane Teleportation Array.

As for the victorious southern faction, they were also severely crippled. Those three Lowgods were still recovering to this day; after all, the price they paid to kill two opponents was not small.

"No wonder that person looked so flustered and was in such a hurry to leave back then."

Having stayed in the Rayast Plane for so long, Fanny had seen such things happen a few times, so she was not particularly surprised.

The two found the Lowgod who had broken through later, and discovering that he was also from the victorious faction and already knew about the situation in the Supreme Planes, they did not say anything more.

After touring the notable locations of the Shadow Continent, Simon and Fanny returned to the Plane Teleportation Array at the southern end of the Endless Sea.

"Actually, if you stay in a Material Plane long enough, you'll find that the god-level experts here change every ten thousand years or so. They either die in civil wars or head to the Supreme Planes. Very few stay for more than ten thousand years."

Fanny sat by the beach, speaking with a hint of emotion.

"The only oddity is that Ba Serpent in the northern sea. When I arrived, it was still a Saint Realm expert. Not long after it became a god, it just stayed there, sleeping whenever it had nothing to do. It's still a Lowgod now. When I asked if it wanted to leave the Material Plane, it didn't want to, saying it would interfere with its sleep..."

"Haha, that Ba Serpent really is a strange one."

Simon was shocked that this Ba Serpent could sleep so much.

"It's actually not that strange. The Ba Serpent race is naturally prone to sleep, though it's rare for one to be as sleepy as him. There are many of his kin in Hell; I've seen a few. Their cultivation time is extremely long, and sleeping for tens of thousands of years is considered quite normal to them."

"Sometimes I envy these Divine Beasts. They don't have to do anything from birth and can naturally grow into Lowgods. Compared to us ordinary humans, they are innately superior in ways I can't even fathom," Simon said with envy.

"The Innate Divine Ability of Divine Beasts is indeed enviable. It's a pity I didn't inherit my grandfather's talent. I just took after my grandmother and am just an ordinary human. Sigh~"

"Oh? Your grandfather is a Divine Beast, Fanny?"

"That's right. You'll find out eventually, Simon. My grandfather's true form is the only Fire Qilin in heaven and earth. His Innate Divine Ability is extremely overbearing. I've heard others say that his strength can rank in the top five among all the Sovereign's Emissaries in Hell."

"That is truly impressive."

Simon sighed in genuine admiration. In Hell, none of the Sovereign's Emissaries were people to be trifled with, and to rank in the top five among so many ruthless experts—the terrifying nature of his strength was self-evident.

"Hehe, that's right. My grandfather said that as long as he doesn't face a Grand Perfection, he can handle it with ease."

Fanny's pretty little face was full of pride.

"The world of the strong is truly something to yearn for. By the way, how much longer is your term?"

"About another hundred and twenty years or so. At that time, the family will send someone to replace me. Once they arrive to take over, I can leave."

"Only a hundred and twenty years? Then let's just wait here for them. In the meantime, I can consolidate my realm and see if I can make further progress during this period."

Simon wasn't in a hurry for a hundred years; his parents could live for at least another three hundred. If they had broken through to the Saint Realm by the time he returned, that would be best. If not, it would prove that they had no hope of breaking through on their own, and using the Earth Heart Milk would be the right choice.

"I have to practice diligently too. Last time, I was just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the Profound Mystery of Scorch. I'll strive to break through before I step down!"

Fanny said with a determined look.

"Haha, then let's work hard together."

Afterward, Simon and Fanny each found a secluded spot and began their cultivation.

As soon as he sat down, Simon took out the Soul Golden Beads and let his three souls refine them.

The Soul Golden Beads were truly a great soul-nourishing treasure with no side effects. In the time that followed, the souls of Simon's two clones and his original body were steadily strengthening.

After his soul became powerful, Simon found that his speed in deducing and comprehending the laws had increased, and merging the Profound Mysteries had become much easier.

What followed was a routine of taking medicine while practicing in seclusion.

After his Profound Mystery of Speed in the Wind Element reached completion, Simon found that the Profound Mystery of Wind Element was also nearing completion, and he had already merged more than half of the Profound Mystery of Wind Element with the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slow. Even if the Profound Mystery of Wind Element reached completion ahead of time, it would not affect the subsequent merging.

Thus, Simon did not hesitate and spent several years fully comprehending the Profound Mystery of Wind Element.

During this period, Simon's original body pushed the progress of merging the Wind Space and the Profound Mystery of Wind Element to the limit.

After merging to a certain point, Simon improved the Ice Wind Space once again.

The improved version 2.0 of the Ice Wind Space had its binding power increased once more, actually surpassing the version 1.0 of the Ice Wind Space—which had only initially merged the water and wind elements—in terms of pure binding force.

It truly lives up to being a Profound Mystery specialized in spatial binding. It's only natural to have this effect. However, once I fully merge the water and wind elements, the binding power of the Ice Wind Space will surely surpass this version, Simon thought happily.

However, the material attack power provided by the 2.0 version of the Ice Wind Space could not compare to the material attack techniques developed after the water and wind elements were merged.

After all, the fusion of two heterogeneous Profound Mysteries was equivalent to the fusion of three Profound Mysteries of the same element.

Now that Simon had successfully broken through to a Midgod in the Wind Element and improved the Ice Wind Space, his strength had skyrocketed.
