Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 265 - 146: Sacrificial Treasure, Eerie Fusion (Part 3)

It seemed like the two gourds were mutually attracting each other, much like quantum entanglement, generating a strong force of attraction.

Zheng Yi furrowed his brows slightly, sensing the abnormality, and then he attempted to bring the two gourds closer together.

Suddenly, the force of attraction intensified sharply, the immense pull made Zheng Yi feel as if he was holding not Yin Yang Gourds, but rather two immensely magnetic pieces.

Moved, he let go of his hands, not continuing to control the separation, allowing the two gourds to tightly adhere together.

Then, Zheng Yi's pupils dilated abruptly, witnessing an extraordinarily strange scene.

The black and white gourds in front of him formed a giant Yin Yang Fish sphere, dissolving each other, latching together.

Precisely speaking, it was Yin Yang Qi evolving into chaos, merging into one.

Watching the two gourds mutually attracting and quietly melding, Zheng Yi felt an incredulous sensation.

He knew quite well that initially when he touched the True Form Map of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd, the transmitted true essence of the magical treasure itself was two gourds, two sub-artifact gourds forming an array, which constituted the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd.

It had never been mentioned that the two gourds could fuse when colliding.

Moreover, this fusion was at the molecular level. Whether using naked eyes or Divine Soul perception, Zheng Yi was clearly aware that the two gourds were slowly fusing, though the colors were vividly distinct, mutually permeating, gradually transforming into a more exquisite Chaos Gourd.

What is this situation?

Zheng Yi was somewhat at a loss, the entire transformation had surpassed his comprehension, further exceeding the scope initially designed by the Artifact Refining Grandmaster who crafted this particular True Form Map, but instinctively, Zheng Yi sensed, this was a good thing.

This sensation came from his most intimate connection with the two gourds.

But how exactly does this transformation occur? Why does it manifest such changes? Zheng Yi himself was as puzzled as a monk at the second temple, knowing its result but not its cause.

After all, considering his current Cultivation at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, comprehending the evolution process of such an advanced artifact embryo was still quite challenging.

Being able to follow standard protocol and conjure this artifact embryo was already quite an achievement, as for the intricate transformations within, they were beyond his current cultivation to fully grasp.

But regardless, the situation had already unfolded, Zheng Yi could only allow it to develop, watching these two Yin Yang Gourds gradually merge into one.

He marvelled and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This is the flaw of refining by gut feeling rather than adhering to the instructions; it always leads to some mysterious transformations that are completely uncontrollable, whether they evolve in a positive direction or a negative one, all depending on fate.

Yet Zheng Yi held some reservations about the fusion.

After all, the True Form Map clearly stated that the two Yin Yang Gourd sub-artifacts collectively assemble to ultimately synthesize into the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd.

And now they're fused together, becoming a single gourd, how does that count?!

On one hand, he considered whether the two could separate again after fusion.

On the other hand, he felt a peculiar sense of familiarity with the situation now before him.

Two gourds merging, could they spawn a small golden gourd?

As for whether they grow stronger or cancel each other out, only fate can decide now.

He must utilize the amplification of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd to successfully attain Divine Soul Power at the Purple Mansion Stage, possessing battle power at the Purple Mansion Realm, only then can he negotiate with the Nine Yin Hall.

If lacking strength, all previous endeavors will be in vain.

Only when both parties stand at the same level can they be eligible to cooperate equally.

Zheng Yi did not want to smoothly acquire the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore only to completely fall into the hands of Nine Yin Hall, perhaps even letting the Daluo Alliance suffer losses.

Cooperation without strength is akin to dancing with wolves, seeking skin while conversing with tigers.

This is precisely why Zheng Yi constantly remains vigilant, even at the cost of exhausting the origins of two magical artifacts Yinluo Peach Blossom Miasma and Celestial Brilliance Divine Needle, to expedite the absorption of all Yin Yang Qi, facilitating the perfection of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd.

However, one fact needs confirmation, that the True Form Map of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd in Zheng Yi's possession originates from within the Nine Yin Hall.

Originally, with the cooperation of tribulation cultivators and demon fiends, they attacked Yanyin City, secretly dispatching Beard leading a team among the Seventy-Two Paths of Smoke and Dust, breaking into the city's warehouse to sweep clean all the treasures inside.

Their ultimate goal wasn't other treasures, but this True Form Map "Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd".

After all, the greatest function of this treasure is enhancing the success rate of progress towards Purple Mansion, even offering a ten percent advantage toward advancing to Golden Core, this effect enough to entice some Purple Mansion Stage cultivators to risk great danger and fight resolutely.

After all, nothing promising expansion of the Dao path is simple.

Later, the Nine Yin Hall offered a large reward for anyone finding the whereabouts of Beard.

Unfortunately, Beard had already been brought to the Doomsday World by Zheng Yi, his body turned into fertilizer for the Blood and Flesh Gourd plantation, naturally impossible for them to find.

Surely now even beyond Nine Yin Hall and Yanyin City, even Black Mountain Monarch and his group are likely scouring the earth for traces of that guy, perhaps suspecting those thieves commandeered the loot and fled.

And now, if Zheng Yi proceeds directly to the Nine Yin Hall with the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd, would that count as walking into a trap?

If recognized, more explanations wouldn't clear things up, surely it would be a major headache.

Just now, after both Ten Thousand Swords Gourd and Ghost Nurturing Gourd were successfully refined, Zheng Yi felt some hesitancy, the cause lying herein.

The reason is very simple.

If lacking the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd, Zheng Yi cannot achieve Purple Mansion battle power, is not eligible to cooperate with Nine Yin Hall, and even less possible to bring Young Master Xin, Xin Lingxian back.

Additionally, even if achieving the battle power at the Purple Mansion, if the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd emerges at Nine Yin Hall and gets exposed, would it lead to besiegement?

Both aspects seem to pose problems, yet with the treasure in his bosom, Zheng Yi cannot just flee to remote lands, eventually he must surface, Zheng Yi's previously devised foolproof plan was to change face, hide the artifact embryo within his body, relying on Yin Yang Qi, with the enhancement primarily on the physical body.

With his High Tier Foundation Establishment body as a cover, utilizing fifty-two opened flesh acupoints, relying on the profound Gathering and Scattering Divine Light of Formless Innate Qi, unless Purple Mansion Stage cultivators personally probe Zheng Yi's body with their Divine Soul, it's impossible for any discovery.

The downside is the inability to fully unleash the power of this magical treasure, weakening Zheng Yi's strength.

But now the situation has changed again, the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd and Ghost Nurturing Gourd, due to the refining materials and Yin Yang Acupoints, they are actually merging, Yin Yang converging into one, this transformation transcending the original scope of the magical treasure.

It seems even without Zheng Yi's hand, this thing, even if exposed, presumably others wouldn't know its true origin.
