Lady Ping Xin’s investigation alarmed Emperor Jun, who was contemplating the transition of life.
Seated upon the Law Throne in the Palace of the Polestar, his eyes shimmered with golden light as he gazed toward the direction of the Blood Sea.
In an instant, his vision pierced through the Heavenly Realm and beheld the Blood Sea now occupied by the Netherworld.
However, this was not what he wanted to see; while he found the Netherworld, he lamented encountering the formidable impediments of the world’s laws.
Unfazed, Emperor Jun infused his mana into the River Map and Luo Book, deducing the loopholes in the laws of the Netherworld.
After a long while, a glint shone in his eyes as he perceived Lady Ping Xin and the souls of the twelve Ancestor Witches atop the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
Of course, this included the soul of Emperor Jun’s incarnation as well.
He saw a torrent of pure soul energy surge from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, flowing into the souls of the twelve Ancestor Witches.
With the replenishment of soul energy, the soul of Emperor Jun’s incarnation was gradually recovering, edging closer to perfection.
Similarly, the soul power of the other eleven Ancestor Witches ceased to wane and was slowly strengthening.
Nevertheless, there was no sign of awakening from any of the twelve Ancestor Witches’ souls.
Emperor Jun withdrew his gaze, solemnly sitting upon the Law Throne, lost in thought for a moment.
After reflecting, Emperor Jun’s consciousness split in two, maintaining communication between each part—one remained within his original body, while the other ventured into the soul of his incarnation.
Linked, both parts were under Emperor Jun’s strict command.
Moreover, this division of consciousness was not equal; even when Emperor Jun’s incarnation possessed a body and had not perished, the two parts did not share equal awareness.
The majority of his consciousness resided within Emperor Jun’s original body, with only a minor portion controlling the incarnation.
Having completed this process, the original Emperor Jun in the Palace of the Polestar closed his eyes once again, continuing to comprehend the legacy granted by the Pangu God.
Now, his incarnation had become an Ancestor Witch, mastered the Twelve Devine Slaughter Formation, and merged with Pangu’s Illusion.
All insights and experiences transformed into the bedrock of Emperor Jun, nourishing his cultivation and understanding of the Dao.
It could be said that Emperor Jun’s initial vision for creating the incarnation had been nearly entirely realized.
The fortuitous melding of the twelve Ancestor Witches into Pangu’s Illusion, inheriting a thread of consciousness from the primordial Pangu God, surpassed even Emperor Jun’s expectations.
Emperor Jun acquired the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation through the bloodline of the Witch Clan, with both the original body and the incarnation meditating and inferring it together.
It was precisely because of this that Emperor Jun’s incarnation’s understanding of the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation far exceeded that of the other Ancestor Witches.
Hence, he seized control from Ancestor Witch Di Jiang over the formation, mastering it entirely and unleashing might surpassing the original limits of the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation.
Pangu’s Illusion swung the Sky-opening Divine Axe four times, obliterating the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and extinguishing all life and divine souls in a single stroke.
The three other swings completely suppressed the Taiching Saint, and had it not been for the arrival of the Pangu God, the Taiching Saint would have suffered severe injuries.
As for the gift from Pangu God, it was a wholly unexpected boon for Emperor Jun.
Furthermore, it was the greatest serendipity, merging previous insights from his incarnation; Emperor Jun was even confident he could elevate his own life’s stage first, thereby enhancing his overall strength.
With the benefit surpassing Emperor Jun’s expectations, he had no specific plans for what his incarnation could do.
Netherworld Great World, Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
After Emperor Jun’s consciousness descended, it did not immediately awaken but remained dormant.
Within the soul of his incarnation, he felt an unprecedented weakness, a profound sense of soul deficiency.
Originally, wielding the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation, he commanded the raging power of his bloodline force.
Later, leading the twelve Ancestor Witches to merge into Pangu’s Illusion and squeezing out the vitality granted massive strength.
Thus, although it was at the cost of potential and life, the power gained was substantial indeed.
However, while the overflowing power had not yet been entirely spent, a wisp of consciousness from the Pangu God descended, sealing him alongside the eleven other Ancestor Witches’ divine souls.
Afterward, he was utterly without consciousness, feeling as if time had halted for him.
When he regained awareness, he perceived his original body and knew that he and the eleven other Ancestor Witches had fallen into the hands of Lady Ping Xin.
Then his consciousness returned to his original body, and his incarnation’s soul slipped into slumber.
Throughout, he never felt the soul’s weakness.
But now, having returned to his incarnation’s soul, he experienced an intense sensation of fragility, bringing him considerable discomfort and a profound sense of insecurity.
Of course, he knew this to be an illusion, but even as just a soul, he longed to be rid of this feeling.
That was precisely why he did not awaken but silently absorbed the vast soul power emanating from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
Moreover, Emperor Jun’s incarnated soul made no attempt at disguise; Lady Ping Xin overseeing the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate detected the changes in this mysterious Ancestor Witch’s soul immediately.
While the speed of absorbing soul power increased rapidly, under Lady Ping Xin’s observation, it yet remained unawakened.
After all, the consciousness within the incarnation fundamentally remained Emperor Jun’s, transcending Lady Ping Xin’s essence. How could she discern anything with Emperor Jun intentionally concealing himself?
