“How did these divine patterns form? How should I cultivate to create these patterns?” Within his castle, Jiang Yi held onto the Divine Tree leaf as his mind worked furiously. He thought of every possibility, every scenario as he tried to find a way.

He had already confirmed one thing: these divine patterns were the source of the mummy’s power. As long as he could cultivate these divine patterns, his physical body would not be weaker than the mummy’s. Although the mummy had been refined for ten thousand years, it was after all a dead object while he was a living human; if he succeeded, he would definitely be at least as strong as the mummy.

One’s human body was a natural formation; this was a well-known fact. Demons and spirits ultimately all had to become human because the human body was the most compatible with cultivating. This natural formation gelled with the absolute laws of heaven and earth, the universe’s quintessence.

These 108 acupoints were like 108 small formations to Jiang Yi; they were also completely different formations. Once these formations were triggered, the mummy’s body would become exceptionally strong and possess terrifying attack, burst, and defensive capabilities.

These things were easy to understand; it was not much different from refining a weapon. Powerful weapons had to contain all sorts of restrictions and array formations. That was how these weapons could become stronger, more durable, and more lethal.

The more complex and numerous these restrictions and array formations were, the more powerful the weapon would be. That was why Primitive Spiritual Treasures, Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures, and Primordial Spiritual Treasures were so powerful. These weapons were nurtured from heaven and earth and contained the absolute laws of heaven and earth quintessence, resulting in their superior might and strength.

In reality…!

Many human formidable martial artists in history had tried to refine their bodies to make them as strong as possible. Within the Primordial World, there were countless techniques to cultivate one’s body. Many formidable martial artists wished to refine their bodies to be even stronger than Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures and Primordial Spiritual Treasures, wanting to rely solely on their bodies to dominate a domain and rule the universe.

Unfortunately, the human body was overly complex and mysterious; many people not only did not manage to attain their goal, they actually self-destructed and became crippled. If one tried to change the human body’s natural formation at will, one could easily ruin it and become a cripple.

Without a doubt…

The Mighty G.o.d Race’s cultivation technique had been perfected and successful. The Mighty G.o.d Race was no doubt the race with the strongest physical bodies; there was no other. Jiang Yi took a long time to research the acupoints and was thoroughly impressed with the Mighty G.o.d Race’s cultivation technique.

The Mighty G.o.d Race’s cultivation technique was not to change the human body’s natural formation, but to construct a hundred and eight small formations and use them to augment and strengthen the human natural formation and trigger its potential. These small formations were completely different from each and complemented the human body. It was a wonder that the Mighty G.o.d Race ancestors actually managed to think of such a cultivation technique.

The way to cultivate the acupoints was very deep and complex; Jiang Yi didn’t even know where to start, much less create them. These divine patterns were cultivated on acupoints; without a cultivation technique and someone to teach him, how was he supposed to mimic it?

“The East Thearch had said the Mighty G.o.d Technique wasn’t the true Mighty G.o.d Technique. In that case, the Mighty G.o.d Technique shouldn’t be wrong but is incomplete. Someone must have deduced it from the true Mighty G.o.d Technique. I’ll try and think through the Mighty G.o.d Technique again and see if there’s anything about forming these divine patterns.

Jiang Yi thought of a way to start as he kept the mummy and took out the Mighty G.o.d Technique, looking at it once more. He wanted to find a way to cultivate the divine patterns from it.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yi had only realized it for a while before the restrictions outside flashed again. He opened his eyes and stared rather unhappily at the door. He sent out essence force to remove the restrictions as he coldly asked, “What is it again?”

“My Lord, it’s time for another mission.” Zhang Ernian reported respectfully.

“Another mission? That’s fast!”

Jiang Yi rose helplessly as he brought his men out and gathered. The army was forming quickly outside. After everyone was gathered, Yun Bing brought her bodyguards and appeared. She had the same cold expression as before as she said, “To the seventeenth Teleportation Formation.”

Everyone marched forward silently. This mission was once again a solo operation for them; no other army had gathered. Everyone took turns entering the Teleportation Formation, and this time, they all appeared at a transit station. This was a huge transit station. At least a thousand Teleportation Formations were present while a thousand guards were stationed here, out of which ten were King-Ranked.

“Enter the sixth Teleportation Formation to the left and teleport to the Netherworld River Mystic Realm!”

Yun Bing waited for everyone to arrive and gave her next command. Her army started to move again as she then suddenly flew to an elder sitting cross-legged at the side of the transit station. She cupped her hands and said, “Bing’er pays her respects to seventh grandfather and other elders.”

The ten King-Ranked formidable martial artists all opened their eyes. The elder in front of Yun Bing smiled as he nodded and said, “It’s Bing’er, I see. You’re out on a mission again? Be careful; if anything were to happen to you, your grandfather would be heartbroken.”

The other King-Ranked formidable martial artists all started to chime in as well, showering their affection and adoration towards Yun Bing. Yun Bing was like an obedient young lady as she smiled slightly and stood respectfully in front of them; there was no sign of the feisty and fierceness that she had exhibited before.

As the teleportation of the army continued, Yun Bing spoke a few sentences of farewell to the elders as she also entered that Teleportation Formation. Jiang Yi and others were still waiting for their turn as he looked at Zhang Danian and company. He said in a low voice, “Have you guys collected information on the Netherworld River Mystic Realm? Is this mission dangerous?”

“Very dangerous!”

Zhang Danian said seriously, “The Netherworld River Mystic Realm is near the Heaven Primordial Domain; it is a very and famous mystic realm. This is also a heavily-contested place between the Nine Yang Army and the Netherworld Realm army. The Netherworld Realm constantly sends troops over, and a Netherworld King’s clone or even a Netherworld King might be present occasionally.”

“A Netherworld King’s clone?”

Jiang Yi’s face changed. He knew how powerful a Netherworld King’s clone was; even the Earth Emanations Sovereign had almost fallen. If they encountered one, all of them might perish.

However, since Yun Bing was going, Jiang Yi was a little more relaxed. Yun Bing’s status and ident.i.ty was so special; she couldn’t possibly gamble with her life, right? Since there was Yun Bing here, what was there to fear?

“Let’s go!”

It was Jiang Yi and company’s turn as they entered the Teleportation Formation once again. This time, it only took one hour before they appeared within a huge valley.

This valley was surrounded by restrictions. Similarly, a few King-Ranked formidable martial artists stood guard here. The army had not gathered and waited here but had gone out of the valley. Yun Bing was standing there, and it was obvious she intended to lead them herself this time.

This mystic realm had light and spirit energy; however, the light was very dim while the spirit energy was not concentrated.

Swis.h.!.+

Jiang Yi and company hurriedly joined up with the rest. Once everyone had gathered outside, Yun Bing said very sternly, “This mission will also allow all teams to freely exterminate the Netherworld Race beings. The mission destination is the Netherworld River Mountainous Region; we have to cleanse the entire area of Netherworld Race beings. I will personally bring men to patrol all about. Once a Netherworld King’s clone is encountered or a high-grade Netherworld General surfaces, no one is to go head-on but immediately send a signal to alert everyone else. Let’s head out.”

The entire army soared into the sky with Yun Bing ahead clearing the way and her two Senior Commanders standing guard at the rear. Everyone acted as if they were facing a mortal enemy, their weapons at ready. Commander Hu sent a message to Jiang Yi as Jiang Yi informed his men to get ready for battle.

Wu-Wu—

After flying for a mere few hundred kilometers, a sinister blast of wind blew by as horrifying sounds traveled with it. Jiang Yi’s divine senses swept over as he discovered hundreds of Netherworld Realm beings surging forward. However, they were all low-grade Netherworld Envoys.

Yun Bing didn’t bother to attack as her thirty-six bodyguards flew forward and sent out streaks of shooting stars, killing the Netherworld Envoys one by one. As Yun Bing did not give her order, there was no change in the army’s formation as it continued to fly forward orderly.

Along the way, they kept on encountering Netherworld Envoys; however, no powerful Netherworld Generals or Netherworld Realm armies were seen yet. After flying for twenty-odd hours, the army finally reached the Netherworld River Mountainous Region. Jiang Yi and company looked far into the distance as their faces changed, and a ghastly sight greeted them.
