Chapter 1642 1635: Magi (1)

"How long did it take to complete my ascension?" Wei Wuyin inquired with a gentle, sonorous voice that resounded like soft mystical music. Just the simple action of speaking seemed to invoke unfathomable changes, indicating his settlement into the Mystic Dao's domain of control. He had become a genuine Ascended being, transcending mortality and delving into mysticism.

The echoing of Eden's voice sounded within his Sea of Consciousness as four harmonic reverberations, "Thirty-six days."

"Thirty-six? Days?" Wei Wuyin's silvery eyes effused with mystical light peered into the vast distance, observing hidden void creatures, the mysterious phenomenon of the Dark Void, and faraway galaxies that swirled beautifully. It was worthy of admiration and unquestionably moving to his soul, heart, and mind.

To think that thirty-six days had passed to complete his mystic transformation! But as he thought further on what these four Astral Souls dared to do, what he was subjected to, and the sequence of events that unfolded, he felt that this was perfectly reasonable. While Su Mei had taken eighty-one hours to ascend, the process wasn't remotely the same.

"It worked out," Wei Wuyin waved his arms as space and time moved along the length of his arms like water, creating visible waves that were almost liquid in appearance. With an Ascended Existential Framework, his True Void Dragon Bloodline could finally flow within him without any disharmony or limitations. While the Stellar-Paragon Physique had enabled its evolution and mitigated these restrictions, the fact remained that his soul and True Soul remained within the domain of the Mortal Dao, and many of his abilities were unable to be properly used.

"It was close," Eden remarked in relief. While the entire incident was relatively subdued, the four of them had to bear the heavy load of various difficulties and complex requirements, such as maintaining together Wei Wuyin's True Soul after it was ruthlessly split into four. A single slip-up and Wei Wuyin's death would have been certain.

If the mysterious power born from the process of ascension that completed any incompleteness was lacking in strength or had a limitation, Wei Wuyin would forever be incomplete causing the abrupt ending of his path of cultivation from thereon, and they had to be of a single mind throughout to maintain their connection with each other. A single disconcerted thought of independence might have foiled the entire situation after they were recreated.

There was a slight chance that Wei Wuyin and all of them could have had four versions of themselves, especially if Eden and Ori were unable to recreate and properly utilize the merging force. Who knows what would have happened then, but this type of True Soul cloning could disrupt the flow of many things and infringe some laws of rebirth. After all, all four would have been the same person in every way.

Fortunately, they succeeded; each Astral Soul had base frameworks that reached the Mystic Ascendant Realm, and they could generate, control, and absorb Mystic Energies, Mystic Essence, and interact with things within the domain of the Mystic Dao. Wei Wuyin no longer needed his Celestial Eyes to observe Mystic Ascendant Realm experts or Mystic Power.

During his fierce fight against Sage Springfield, Wei Wuyin was blinded by a backlash and temporarily lost his Celestial Eyes, unable to sense or see Mystic Power. If Sage Springfield had taken that opportunity to strike then, neither Wei Wuyin nor his Astral Souls had any cards to retaliate against it. Now, he simply could use his eyes or Spiritual Sense.

It was a wondrous change that solved a critical weakness of being a mortal fighting against Ascended beings. They operated within a domain that he simply couldn't observe otherwise.

"Nah. We had it," King shockingly said with profoundly unwavering confidence. The plan that they had brazenly conceived had flawlessly been completed. This confidence wasn't unreasonable or unearned.

They did it.

"I never doubted any of you," Wei Wuyin smiled as he slowly flexed his muscles, sensing his cellular constitution, organs, Sea of Consciousness, and his Mind's Eye that housed Little Defiant. Whether it was his True Void Dragon Bloodline, the Palace of Eden, Little Defiant, the Stellar-Paragon Physique, or each of his Astral Souls encased by a Mystic Core, diligently refining their starforce into mystic force, they had all undergone wondrous transformations on a tremendous scale.

Just Little Defiant's solar pulses were dangerously tyrannical. If it was the past, his Sea of Consciousness would have long since been scorched by its indirect exertion of solar essence and solar energies. These solar energies flowed into his body, continuously tempering this bone, blood, flesh, and cells, providing each Astral Soul with a continuous supply of energy that they could transform into mystic-graded energies and then mystic force.

"My True Soul multiplied and then merged," Wei Wuyin knew that when they split him into four, they did so thoroughly, and each commanded a single portion, ushering it into the Seed Tribulation Gate. They split the manifestations of his Laws, his Primordial Seeds of Sin, and his fleshy body, creating smaller versions of himself similar to Bai Xiu's tiny form.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would need thousands or tens of thousands times the resources used during his secluded temporally-accelerated cultivation, and then multiplied that in terms of quality of those resources! Mystic-World products? Mystic-Heaven products...

These products were useful for Resonant Soul Realm experts, and he was already thinking of how to acquire them as a first stage Mystic Ascendant.

"I can't believe you did what you just did!" The Heavenly War Spirit's voice resembling a little girl, unbearably cute sounding despite the anger, resounded in his Sea of Consciousness.

She was originally terrified to the point of absolute silence. When those Astral Souls divided Wei Wuyin into four, she was a part of him and his cultivation base, so she was split too! The feeling was incredibly wondrous and equally as terrifying. When she was split, she genuinely felt an urge to piss herself out of fear. The entire process was horrifying! Fortunately, she was repaired and then merged without incident.

She didn't know what changed exactly, but the soul of Sage Springfield that she had claimed as hers, slowly assimilating it while awaiting for Wei Wuyin to give birth to a Law Seed of War, was divided too and repaired by that mysterious force, similarly merged as well.

It was easy to tell the Heavenly War Spirit was pouting. Wei Wuyin didn't consult her before doing whatever the hell he had done! How could she not be angry?

"We survived, right? Haha," Wei Wuyin chuckled lightly. He didn't consult the Heavenly War Spirit because she couldn't offer any assistance during this process, and even he only understood the greater details and fully trusted his Spirits to act as they should.

"But what if we didn't?! Splitting your True Soul! What an insane thing to do! YOU ARE INSANE, Y'KNOW?!" The golden spirit grew angrier and more exasperated with each word, especially how nonchalant Wei Wuyin had been despite doing something as outrageous as splitting his True Soul and undergoing the ascension process four times with each Spirit of Cultivation. She was unaware of the greater changes though.

Wei Wuyin could only laugh. With his True Soul split, repaired to completeness, and then merged as one, he didn't know what other significant changes this would possess, but he could feel that his soul energy was greater by no small margin. Unfortunately, he didn't know if it was the merging process or just the ascension process. Could True Souls be expanded?

Regardless, he didn't have full access and control over his True Soul like those in the True Soul Phase, nor could he cultivate methods such as the True Soul of Sin that was meant for those in the Realm of Sages, so he could only...

"..." Upon thinking this train of thought, Wei Wuyin wondered what if...

Just as he was in contemplation, the Heavenly War Spirit repeatedly informed Wei Wuyin of the dangers of damaging one's True Soul with anger, a voice resounded in his ears. It was ancient and benevolent.

"You've made it, Little One."

Wei Wuyin's soul felt as if a warm, gentle hand had touched it. He knew who this was!

Fuxi!

"It's finally time for you to learn of your heritage."
