OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 453 - 429: Speed Up the Progress

With Black Abyss speaking thusly, the expressions of the other two also turned more solemn.

Since Shi Nian is an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, naturally, she carries boundless fortune with her.

Now that she has not yet reached full maturity, although her soul is immortal, killing her once to force her to start Cultivation anew would buy them a lot of time.

However.

The thought of personally attacking Shi Nian had never crossed their minds.

Why?

For one, she is born from the fortune of heaven and earth; to kill her even once is incredibly challenging.

Secondly, all beings in the world are born of the Heavenly Dao. Although they were once divine beings themselves, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, they are no more than slightly larger ants than others. Attacking an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao might not even succeed, and they would likely instantly incur boundless sins.

At that point, being struck by the lightning of Chaos is a certainty.

Now they are no longer Divine Bodies; if struck by such lightning punishment again, their very lives would likely be in danger.

Shi Nian, cannot be killed, nor should she be killed.

Their plan from the beginning was to race against her in terms of speed.

Even the Heavenly Dao needs time to grow.

She has just ascended to the Divine Realm, while they have been scheming for tens of thousands of years and have a deep foundation.

If they can return to the Divine Realm before her.

As the divines frequently descend to the Lower Realm, the vast Divine Realm is now left with only the least useful one remaining.

Once they return to the Divine Realm, controlling a child will naturally be effortless.

By then, having taken over the supreme Heavenly Dao without a master, they will become the rule of the Three Realms in the days to come.

Of course, there remains mutual wariness among the three of them, and an open and secret struggle is inevitable when the time comes.

But more importantly than those, they must prevent the Heavenly Dao incarnation from returning to the Heavenly Dao.

Once Shi Nian regains her position, that will be the time when they are held to account.

"Then we can only, at all costs, quicken the pace," said Xuan Mie slowly: "Those people can no longer trap me, in at most three years, I can completely control the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World. By that time, absorbing the fortune of the Immortal World, I can naturally return to the Divine Realm."

Black Abyss spoke slowly: "After tens of thousands of years of trials, the True Demon Bottle has also become much stronger than at the beginning. I need to initiate a great war, to put all of the Demon Clan through the trials of blood and fire. This way, the Demonic Qi they release upon their return will satisfy me. Once the war is over, I shall devour the entire Demon Clan and achieve my breakthrough in one fell swoop!"

Originally, without the constraint of time, Black Abyss would have preferred to delay the process.

If he could wait another ten thousand years, the Demon Clan produced by the True Demon Bottle would naturally become even more formidable, and reclamation by then would be a surefire success.

But now.

The progress of Shi Nian is too rapid, if they wait another ten thousand years, she would have already returned to the Heavenly Dao.

Even immediate consumption of the Demon Clan is not a hundred percent guarantee, but Black Abyss has no other choice.

Li Ye also nodded: "I will mobilize the strong ones controlled by my system to instigate within the Immortal Clan as well, to spark a full-blown war between the two clans. The war serves as the best crucible for you, perhaps a few of them might break through in the fight. By then, I will absorb all the energy and break through the divine realm."

All three have made their preparations, but this time, they must all hasten their progress.

Compared to taking it slow, the risks are of course higher, but under the pressure from Shi Nian, they have no other choice.

"There's one more thing," Black Abyss spoke slowly: "Those two chess pieces are growing rapidly, but given our tight schedule, their growth is still too slow. They have gained the trust of Shi Nian and are tinged with a great deal of Heavenly Dao Fortune. If we manage to absorb both of them, our chances of success will be higher. However, to have an effect, they must at the very least reach the Immortal Venerate Realm."

Li Ye also nodded his head.

"Xuan Mie, channel all the Heavenly Dao fortune of the Immortal World, that you can control, to those two, and ensure that both holders reach the Immortal Venerate Realm before we make our final moves," Black Abyss said.

Xuan Mie was not one to shirk: "I can help with this, but in three years, when it comes time for me to devour the Heavenly Dao, you too must come to assist me, at the very least to help me deal with those detestable bugs underneath."

Below, the Five Extreme Immortal Emperor, along with six other Immortal Venerate experts, have been using the Soul-locking Array to seal his soul body, obstructing his progress.

Otherwise, his progress would never have been so slow.

"Rest assured, we are of one root, and we shall certainly come to your aid," both Black Abyss and Li Ye responded.

What they truly feared was not those eleven experts below, but Qian Ji, who had arranged all of this!

At that time, they were all struck by lightning and heavily injured, descending to the Lower Realm.

But what about Qian Ji?

He wasn't heavily injured; instead, he voluntarily dissipated his Cultivation and went to the Lower Realm to start Cultivation anew.

The entrapment of Xuan Mie this time was also Qian Ji's foresight, leading him into this Soul-locking Array.

Now, at this critical juncture, Qian Ji will surely show himself.

The intentions of this person are unclear; besides being wary of Shi Nian, they must also guard against this person.

After briefly discussing the details of their next steps, the three reached a consensus and quickly dispersed, each devising their plans.

Elsewhere.

Utilizing the Space Tower, Shi Nian directly took Qiong Yu and Ling Yun to a peculiar place.

This place was enveloped in fog everywhere, with no source of light above, a completely dark expanse.

Shi Nian raised his hand and dispersed the mist, and the world became clear.

Qiong Yu looked intently and was immediately startled.

This place had been the site of a brutal battle, and now on the ground lay five or six bodies in disarray, apparently meeting a mutual demise.

Passing the outer bodies and walking further in, there was actually a Spiritual Spring, and floating on it, a body.

In life, this body seemed to have suffered a terrifying attack. Despite the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring, the corpse was still severely decomposed and even now was emitting black Qi, unrecognizable in its original appearance.

Ling Yun cautiously poked his head out and asked, "Xiao Hua… what place is this?"

Shi Nian smiled and said, "This one here is the legendary Zi Huan Immortal Emperor."

The reputation of Zi Huan Immortal Emperor is still quite formidable in the Immortal World. Qiong Yu immediately realized who it was.

She specialized in the art of the zither, while Zi Huan, according to legend, was adept in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Their paths in Cultivation were somewhat different.

Qiong Yu had always regretted that if she could have had an exchange with Zi Huan Immortal Emperor, perhaps she could have broken through to a higher realm of zither art.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua had brought her directly to the Burial Ground of Zi Huan Immortal Emperor.

"Little Tot," Shi Nian called out in his mind.

Little Tot understood and immediately carried out a deep scan of Zi Huan Immortal Emperor's corpse.

Soon, the results came out.

Little Tot displayed the scan image in Shi Nian's mind.

Everywhere else on this body, the life force was gone.

Only in the abdomen, there was a pearl hidden, concealed by special means, which even Little Tot took some time to scan and reveal.

"This is…" Shi Nian reached out curiously with his hand, and the pearl instantly flew into his palm.

This pearl was pitch-black, with no discernible special features.

Little Tot had already provided the answer: "Host, this is the mystic Soul-locking Pearl. This pearl is of no use to the living, but after death, it can help preserve the soul body for the future. Zi Huan Immortal Emperor's soul body is hidden within this pearl. However, his soul body is quite weak, and it has only somewhat recovered after the Soul-locking Pearl's nourishment over ten thousand years."

Therefore, ten thousand years ago, Zi Huan Immortal Emperor didn't actually die.

For these Immortals, as long as the soul body doesn't perish, the state of the physical body is just a minor matter.

But Zi Huan Immortal Emperor's soul body was too severely damaged, so it could only hide in the pearl, waiting for the future.

Shi Nian speculated.

The future he was waiting for was the day his successor would arrive.

He still had a spark of life yet threw his Lifebound Magical Treasure to the Lower Realm, so Zi Xu could find a successor, who would then be brought before him.

It's likely that if the true successor indeed came, he would have a way to take over the successor's body and achieve transmigration.
