The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1042 - 406: The Seven Hanbas, Summoning the Ancestor_2

Ye Hanjun nodded, repeating GuaGua’s request.

"Whoosh! Bang bang bang—Plop!!!"

It was the very antithesis of the transformation process, as the assembled mecha vanished, and the Mechanical Chimera’s body returned to its original form.

"Meh~~~"

Yang Xiaoqi licked GuaGua so fiercely that it almost swallowed the fruit whole.

The usually aggressive She Xiaoxiong lay down weakly, its snake’s eyes filled with exhaustion.

"Hu—hurr—hu—smack—hu—"

Little Lazy Lion fell asleep within a second, not only snoring like thunder but also intermittently grinding its teeth and licking its lips, decidedly restless.

"It seems the energy has been drained too much, and the original bodies’ physical strength and energy have plummeted to extremely low levels, necessitating sleep for rapid recovery."

Ye Hanjun re-examined the attribute panel to make sure Lan Qixiong was alright, which relieved him completely.

This probably is the unique trait of the Conjoined Mechanical Body; the complete mechanical entity requires charging, which Lan Qixiong is not very adapted to.

On the contrary, eating and sleeping, these essential qualities of flesh-and-blood creatures, are still retained.

"As soon as we leave the Solar Abyss, I can take Little Lazy, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoxiong to see old man Xiahou!"

"His wish is half fulfilled. The other half requires a visit to Mechanic God Mountain!"

GuaGua hopped onto Ye Hanjun’s shoulder, whispering in his ear:

"Big Tadpole, based on my intuition, if Little Lazy, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoxiong go to that mountain, they might encounter new opportunities!"

"Old man Xiahou said the Conjoined Mechanical Body is an important research result."

"With Lan Qixiong’s current outstanding performance, the ruler of Mechanic God Mountain will surely take notice!"

"By then, you might become the Mechanical Sun God Child!"

"Plus Godslayer Asura and Sun God Child, three major background auras combined, we would be invincible! We could swagger anywhere we go!"

If GuaGua had a tail, it would certainly be wagging furiously right now to reflect its anticipation.

Even if the Ming Lamp Night Clan has become desolate and destitute, and the Solar Abyss isn’t as glorious as it was in ancient times,

should an alliance with Mechanic God Mountain happen, which of all heavens and ten thousand races would dare to bully Big Tadpole?

"No matter how strong external forces are, they are still external forces."

Ye Hanjun touched the little one’s nose, laughing:

"We have to walk our own path."

"Otherwise, merely addressing the symptoms without curing the root will only leave us with regrets, living a life of melancholy until the end."

"Of course!"

GuaGua patted its chest, assuring confidently:

"But, having a bunch of umbrellas to protect us before reaching the Crown Rank and Divine Enthronement—that feels quite amazing!"

Ye Hanjun fell silent and pinched its chin:

"Xiahou Danxin gave us a thousand years, which is more than enough."

"You best step up; in just over a century, Goddess Ba will awaken."

"If we can ascend to the Supreme Saint, when we leave the Abyss, our power would be on par with the Holy King’s family."

"Roger that!"

GuaGua saluted and replied with the air of a precious treasure.

...

...

In the 950th year of the Second Epoch of the New Era, Aegifura ascended to Glorious Perfection.

Since then, in Ye Hanjun’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits team, the weakest had also come close to the Holy Saint Embryo.

Ye Liuying, a blood kin, due to the harsh environment and the disparity in the bloodlines of the Contracted Fond Spirits, whether it was in terms of authority or the rank of the Fond Spirits, was merely transitioning from the early to the middle phase of the 8th Rank, overall following the rules meticulously.

The Sacred Voidal Conduit was still maintained by Lieyang Mu Shoucong, Jin Tiandan, and Jin Tianpi.

On the contrary, Mu Yi Hanba, who was re-cultivating her rank, faintly showed signs of a breakthrough and hoped to reach Minor Saintly Perfection before the ritual.

In the 965th year of the Second Epoch of the New Era.

Corpse Dragon Lady Shi Ju brought joyful news, the transformation of the Divine Clan bloodline was complete, and the genes originating from the Corpse Dragon Queen’s family had been mostly purged, heralding the imminent success of a pureblooded Hanba.

In the 1030th year of the Second Epoch of the New Era.

The hybrid Hanba underwent a metamorphosis, and her Spirit Wisdom further awakened. Mie Quan conferred the name "Yang Qi," intending to record this moment that stirred the undead heart.

In the 1031st year of the Second Epoch of the New Era, with all preparations ready, Ye Hanjun followed the space transmission of the Wheel of Deep Red and arrived at the central hinterland of the Solar Abyss, as mentioned in legends.

"Buzz buzz buzz——"

The group emerged from the passage and were greeted by the sight of Prince Mang Hao, whom they had not seen in over three hundred years.

His appearance had changed slightly, especially his skin, which had clearly darkened several shades.

But his aura was far deeper than in the past, like an ocean, making it extremely difficult to fathom its depth.

"Oh ho, the day has finally arrived for a meeting between the two Sun God Children!"

Lieyang Mu Shoucong, with his head full of bright red scallions, was in high spirits and exuberant:

"This young master is about to see the invincible Goddess Ba herself. For some reason, I feel nervous!"

"Godslayer Asura, Prince Mang Hao, aren’t you two panicked? This makes me seem less composed!"

"Not at all."

Mang Hao, with a gentle smile and graceful demeanor, said:

"The name of Goddess Ba resonates across All Clans."

"She is one of the most magnificent and peerless divine spirits of her generation. Merely hearing her name can calm the mind and spirit."

"It’s just that we have been waiting here for so long, running around and busying ourselves for this matter, that any unease has long been tempered away. To suddenly become flustered would go against the logic of things."

"Prince Mang Hao does have a point."

Lieyang Mu Shoucong nodded, his focused gaze fixed upon the other, and could not help but sigh:

"When we met in the corpse pits, you were already at the pinnacle of the 8th Rank, just one step away from a breakthrough."

"In the blink of a few hundred years, not only have you become a saint, but you have also completely stabilized your rank."

"Godslayer Asura was, after all, a step too slow. It’s a pity that the dual Sun God Children cannot compete on an equal footing."

"I am not as good as Lord Han."

Mang Hao, who had already learned the true name of the gray shadow, said with a warm smile:

"Even with the disparity in authority and rank, I still cannot make him fight to his fullest."
