Chapter 121 - Virtual Connection

Tatsuya, Miyuki, and others were walking back from the combat class. Today's lesson was about body refining and combat abilities. Long Yuyin wasn't able to attend it. Yang Xin seemed to be too busy to care about anything else. She was motivated, wanting to absorb as much knowledge as she could.

Shen Xiu was still closed in her room. She seemed to be refusing to come out. It wasn't Tatsuya she was scared of, but Miyuki.

Xiao Yu was just talking about going to another training ground when Tatsuya interrupted, "We might not have time for that; something big is going on."

Tatsuya took out a set of papers bound together, "Nie Li, You are good with Inscription Patterns, right? If you could, go over this."

As Nie Li took the paper, Xiao Yu and Lu Piao curiously looked over, "What is it??!"

Tatsuya looked towards Lu Piao and others, "These are inscription patterns that could be overlayed on one's Fate Soul. Turning it into an artificial soul realm, although you can't cultivate more Fate Souls in the artificial soul realm, you could merge with Demon Spirits." Tatsuya looked over his memories to see how his mother and aunt built the Virtual Magic Calculation Area. It barely took time to turn that structure into Inscriptions Patterns and arrays.

He got the idea during the Redsouls class. At first, he thought if someone has 9 Demon Spirits, they would be better than others who do not. But, later, the whole thing and plan evolved out of hand. Before he knew it, he was thinking about variables when one reaches Dao of Dragon Realm. Theories on theories came to him before the whole thing evolved into an experiment related to the Deity Realm.

Lu Piao and Xiao Yu gazed towards Tatsuya before nodding, "Ok...totally." Lu Piao and Xiao Yu were holding back as much as they could. Trying not to reach to the world-changing thing they heard.

Nie Li, on the other hand, had a completely different expression when he read that.

He glanced at Tatsuya before looking around at the group of people in their surrounding, "We should go back first."

Xiao Yu and Lu Piao nodded in a synchronized movement like a robot.

Miyuki smiled as she looked at them being so secretive. She put her arms around Tatsuya's.

When they reached home, Nie Li became busy looking over the research papers. He had never seen anything like this in his past life. Moreover, some of these arrays reminded him of Nightmare Demon Pot.

Xiao Yu and Lu Piao were absolutely different. They were shouting about the sudden chain of events.

"Explain yourself!! What is going on!" Xiao Yu sat in front of Tatsuya, shouting. Lu Piao was behind her nodding, again and again.

"Well, things happened, and..." Tatsuya explained the situation to them.

Nie Li had also raised his ear to hear the situation, but his attention was still on the papers.

After his explanation was over,

Xiao Yu had a delay on her face, "So, we will participate in the experiments?"

Miyuki shook her head, "Not for the next few months; we will be seeing the result of others and make sure it is absolutely safe. But, it would be a good choice to see it, and think about your element and start collecting Demon Spirits."

Tatsuya agreed with Miyuki, "9 Demon Spirits of the same element and particular Growth Rate, that is hard to find. You need time and money for that, even some connections. After you decide what you want to practice, I could help you."

Xiao Yu thought about it, "True, without money or connection, you could only rely on luck."

Lu Piao rubbed the back of his head, "Is that even possible? How do I get that?"

"Don't worry, you have Grade-5 Heavenly Spiritual Root," and then there was Nie Li. He wasn't worried about Lu Piao, "at the end of the day, it might not succeed."

"No, it will succeed," Nie Li looked over and declared.

And so, a month passed,

"Will it really work?!"

"Last time...it almost worked..."

"Yes... I thought last time he really would."

"This time...this time for sure."

Currently, the Hierarchs were discussing as they looked at Martialsky and Tatsuya.

Martialsky was cultivating while Tatsuya was sitting in front of him with his eyes closed.

Other than them, Miyuki, Long Shuyun, Long Yuyin, Nie Li, Gu Lan, and Gu Bei were also there.

Nie Li had been helping Tatsuya with the experiment. It's not like Tatsuya needed the help, but this was the only way he could think of.

How do you break the ice with a regressor? You can't just go and say, Hey! So... I saw your past life. We have much to discuss.

That would only make him more cautious; the only thing Tatsuya could slowly involve him in things and gain trust. Although he didn't expect him to come out right and tell him. But, that will still cushion the shock when he does talk to him about it.

Nie Li also has been selling Demon Beast Spirits with Gu Bei's help, and he made a few connections. Gu Lan and Gu Bei had grown their earning, Tatsuya was able to make many Alchemy Positions. Also, quite a few dishes with similar effects to their counterpart. They were one of the few people who had the knowledge of the experiment and have been financing the experiment.

After the first week, they had tried the experiment with 10 people with different elements. Nine of them had been successfully able to fuse and strengthen the core demon spirit. At the same time, the side effect of choosing Pinnacle Heavenly Axis Realm showed. They weren't able to bring out the full power of the core Demon Spirit. Things would be different if someone had a proper understanding of their demon spirit before fusing.

But, even so, the power they were to bring out was worth the risk. Even the one that failed, that person's demon spirits disappeared, but the Fate Souls merged together. Although there seemed a risk, it was more about the mental shock of failure that he was left with. He could fuse with Demon Spirit anytime again. But the problem was, the guy felt like a failure and nearly went into depression.

Tatsuya was able to watch the whole process and show that essence to Martialsky. But, the first time they failed, even so, Martialsky felt he was closer to that realm. They had invested a lot of resources to make those at the Pinnacle of Axis Realm reach Dao of Dragon Realm in such a short time. It was already worth the results, but if even one of them could achieve the Deity Realm, it would be an unexpected bonus.

This time was different than the trial before. Once there was a success, 10 people turned to 100. A lot more resources were being poured into it. Tatsuya was able to watch all of the different phenomena. Currently, he was showing all those fire elements to Martialsky. There was numerous Spiritual Stone essence around Martialsky.

Inside the dream sequence,

Martialsky was in a daze as he was watching all sorts of different fire and their merging process. Tatsuya was standing a safe distance away, watching the whole process.

There were tens of phenomena in the surrounding, fires merging with each other. There were many different types of fire, black, red, orange, white flame. Tatsuya could see these different types of flame melting, merging, separating, bursting.

In fact, he gained the most benefit after seeing so many phenomena. His understanding of different Elements and Heavenly Dao had increased. Just, his element was void; he thought the more he understood all this, the harder it would be to achieve the void.

Slowly, it seemed that the understand of the fire was building up inside Martialsky.

After a while, a shock wave passed from Martialsky. Tatsuya, who was sitting in front of Martialsky, opened his eyes.

He slowly got up before jumping back to the others.

Miyuki glanced at him, "what happened?!"

Tatsuya looked towards her, and the other curious eyes, "Suddenly there was a shockwave that pushed me out of his mind."

Yu Yan, who was sitting on Miyuki's shoulder, spoke, "It's happening."

Her voice turned everyone's attention from Tatsuya to her, "you mean? He is?" Miyuki asked while looking towards her.

The Hierarchs also looked towards her with expectations. Yu Yan nodded, "Yes, I can feel a bit of something in him changing. There seems to be a virtual connection to Heavenly Dao."

"A connection with Heavenly Dao?" Nie Li asked as he looked towards her.

Yu Yan nodded, "Yes, a connection with the Heavenly Dao."

Miyuki knit her brows, "we might have to stop this."

Her sudden declaration startled everyone.

"Wait! what are you talking about?!!" Long Shuyun stared at her in disbelief. They had invested too much, and that realm was in front of them.

Nie Li supported her, "If it is really forming a connection to Heavenly Dao, then we might have to be much more careful." He couldn't explain about the Sage Emperor and how he might send people to destroy the sect.

Tatsuya, who had been watching the whole process with Elemental Sight, spoke, "I understand your worries, don't worry."

Nie Li looked tensed; he didn't know how to explain. Suddenly, he paused and looked towards Miyuki. He wanted to stop it because he knew about the Sage Emperor; why did she want to stop it? What did she know?
