I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1111: The Naive Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch

Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, the boundless Peach Blossom Evil merging with Divine Thought, unfurled and covered several miles around Taohua Village. Then, in a corner ten miles away from Taohua Village, she discovered a mass of black fog.

It was the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch.

"Hmph!"

Shen Ying snorted coldly. With a flicker of her form, she drifted towards that location. Simultaneously, the earth in the region surrounding the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch shook slightly, and peach branches emerged from the ground. Nourished by the Peach Blossom Evil, they grew rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the branches turned into trees, and the trees became a forest.

The black fog trembled, and its stealthy retreat was momentarily halted, then it accelerated, only to be blocked by the flourishing Peach Blossom Evil between heaven and earth. Wisps of pink mist ate away at the bone, obstructing his path.

Theoretically, the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch had already been very cautious. His true form was ten miles away from Taohua Village, and he had already deployed an illusion technique. His spell was profound, and initially, it had even deceived Shen Ying.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t expected that once Shen Ying took action, her momentum was earth-shaking, spanning a vast area, directly enveloping over ten miles of land. He seemed to be hiding far away, yet he was still within the range of Shen Ying’s action.

The sight of wealthy people taking action is beyond the imagination of the poor.

"Too extravagant!"

The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch was both shocked and envious, his entire being enveloped in black fog, fluttering like living black velvet, blocking the Peach Blossom Evil. Then, his figure flickered and disappeared from Shen Ying’s sight once again.

However, this time it wasn’t that simple. Shen Ying focused her power in her eyes, and the Peach Blossom Evil spread throughout every corner within a radius of several miles. The old peach trees’ countless roots clung to the ground, carefully sensing.

"Break!"

Shen Ying gave a light shout and pointed a finger, forcing the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch to reveal his form.

"What a skillful move, Fairy!"

The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch couldn’t help but exclaim, the black fog around him intensified, blocking the Peach Blossom Evil.

"I merely wish to discuss with the Fairy. Would you be willing to let me finish speaking?"

In the next moment, the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch’s figure suddenly shifted, dividing into two, then four, and within a few breaths transformed into one hundred and eight Illusionary Yin Divine Monarchs, surrounding Shen Ying.

He actually played a counter-encirclement with Shen Ying.

Under Shen Ying’s perception, these one hundred and eight Illusionary Yin Divine Monarchs were completely identical, each with an aura as powerful as her own.

"That’s impossible!"

Shen Ying squinted her eyes, realizing that his illusion technique had deceived her once again, yet even under her focused sensing, she still couldn’t find his true form.

Illusionary Yin, indeed his nickname was well-earned.

"Hehe, Fairy, can you now listen to me speak?"

Seeing that he had successfully encircled Shen Ying, the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch couldn’t help but chuckle and began to speak.

Although he didn’t expect Shen Ying to be so "loyal" to the Great Jing Court, it wasn’t completely beyond his expectations.

Experts are all willful, and won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin. Only when you have the absolute upper hand will they listen to you speak.

Thus, when the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch realized that he was surrounded by Shen Ying, he decisively used one of his trump cards to counter her.

Now, with one hundred and eight duplicates, each with strength on par with Shen Ying, the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch believed she should be ready to listen to him.

"Peach Blossom Fairy, you resonate with the poem ’Peach Blossoms’—a heavenly opportunity. But are you willing to waste such a chance?

Now that you are conferred by the Court, you’re bound with them, appearing to have widespread temples, yet you’re controlled and not free.

Additionally, as you are uncontrollable, the Court clearly doesn’t see you as one of their own. They haven’t sent ghost soldiers and generals or moved you to Zhongjing.

Consequently, although you appear to hold an esteemed position, you are in a precarious situation, as evidenced by my presence.

If so, why pledge loyalty to the Great Jing Court, binding yourself with them, and keeping me at arm’s length?

The Court merely borrows your might to give you a title, while the Incense and Candle Qi you hold is your own.

So, why not offer some of the Incense and Candle Qi you don’t use to forge alliances, exchange for a Heaven-Reaching Technique, and a chance to ascend—not a better choice?"

After hearing the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch finish, Shen Ying almost burst into laughter.

While it’s understandable that most people don’t know Si Lingxi’s existence, it’s surprising that the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch is ignorant of Lu Zheng.

Shen Ying discerned that the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch believed her resonance with ’Peach Blossoms’ was a fortunate accident.

Someone with no cultivation technique, no foundation, holding just a bundle of Incense and Candle Qi as the Earth God.

If Shen Ying were truly such a person, the Court’s approach could be questionable, but they are well aware of her relationship with Lu Zheng, so how could they relocate her?

As for deploying people...

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying are masters with millennia of Dao Practice. Sending ghost soldiers and generals serves more ceremonial than practical purposes, and dispatching a top expert could create discomfort for everyone.

"So, following your logic, you indeed have a master?" Shen Ying’s eyes flashed as she spoke softly.

With the power that the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch demonstrated, it was clear he couldn’t offer a "Heaven-Reaching Technique" or "Ascension Opportunity", so his claims meant there was a super big shot behind him.

"Indeed." The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch said calmly, "The Ancestor’s Divine Techniques surpass the world, unparalleled under heaven, and ascending is but a trivial matter."

Shen Ying sneered, "So formidable, yet coveting my Incense and Candle Qi?"

The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch paused, then confidently said, "It’s merely to enhance the grand endeavor. If the Ancestor ascends earlier, we can follow suit, escaping the abyss of suffering, ascending to the Upper Realm, living eternally."

"How do you know that ascending to the Upper Realm grants eternal life?" Shen Ying inquired.

The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch was momentarily taken aback, "Why, is there a need to ask?"

Shen Ying couldn’t help but chuckle, "No need to ask?"

"Ascending to the Upper Realm, being baptized by the Spiritual Qi of the Upper Realm, naturally grants longevity. Even if one cannot achieve eternal life immediately, cultivation is easier, lifespan significantly increased, making eternal life not an arduous task." The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch explained.

"Hehe!"

Shen Ying sneered, having thought that the Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch knew insider secrets, yet it turned out to be mere wishful thinking.

Eternal life isn’t so simple, otherwise, there would be too many immortals from mere ascension.

She had heard from Si Lingxi that the Upper Realm also has mortals and weaklings. Those truly immortal and capable of descending through dreams, or possessing True Spirits that reincarnate, remain a rarity among great powers.

The Illusionary Yin Divine Monarch naively believed that ascending would immediately confer power, an illusion too naive.

Thus, only one question remains.

Facing the one hundred and eight Illusionary Yin Divine Monarchs, Shen Ying chuckled lightly, "Who is this ancestor of yours?"
