Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?-Chapter 322 - 324: Heaven’s Will Technique·Nine Tripods Divine Power

Chapter 322: Chapter 324: Heaven’s Will Technique·Nine Tripods Divine Power

“Are they beyond saving?” Ji Shan asked, looking at a group of monsters that were part human, part corpse, and part dragon, separated by bulletproof glass.

Having dealt with Ji Sheng’s family and secured guarantees from Qin Muye and the Dark Hand, he assumed the position as Ji Cheng’s nephew with due haste.

After demonstrating his strength, he naturally succeeded in taking Ji Sheng’s place. There were indeed some ancestral families that opposed him but, unable to match his might, they reluctantly let him ascend.

With Ji Shan securing his position, the prominent families in Yan Country behaved much better on the surface, but secretly they were just as active. After all, the cake had already been divided, and suddenly a strong man had snatched away the entire cake—who could bear that?

“There’s no saving them. From the beginning, we estimated wrong; that was not a Jiao Dragon but a Dragon Corpse that had returned from the Underworld to Earth. According to the testimony of the serpent women and others, it seems it was given by the Black Abyss,” a researcher said.

“The Black Abyss?” Ji Shan picked up on this term. Why hadn’t his father ever mentioned it? From the other’s tone, he could tell it was definitely not a simple entity, especially since Qin Muye had spent so much time in the Underworld without ever mentioning it.

...

“Yes, the Black Abyss, some terrifying existence that wanders above the Netherworld. It’s said to have a deep connection with the Liu Family. Yin Walkers describe it as a black chasm. Sometimes it helps the Yin Walkers, other times it attacks. After investigations from all sides, it’s very likely that the Jiao Dragon Corpse was deliberately sent to the Liu Family by the Black Abyss.”

“It should have been an opportunity. God knows what the old Liu Family ancestor was thinking to have drawn such a catastrophe.”

This Jiao Dragon Corpse, shared among the various families, naturally turned into a major disaster, harming not only the top combatants but even those with potential.

These words made Ji Shan curse inwardly. Why did he feel like this so-called Black Abyss seemed a bit like his father?

After all, the abyss is black, and although Qin Muye also had a red color, if you don’t look closely, the red color is actually hard to discern.

“Whoever has ingested anything refined from the flesh and blood of the Corpse Flood Dragon has, although acquired the Jiao Dragon Bloodline, lost themselves and turned into half-corpse beings. Luckily, they have no self-awareness and only wander in a daze.”

“If it weren’t for such serious side effects, a single Jiao Blood Pill could significantly restore some of the ancestral family’s strength,” the researcher continued, implicitly warning Ji Shan not to covet these things, as they were no good.

“I see, no wonder the major families have been restless lately,” Ji Shan realized that because the Jiao Dragon Corpse had first fallen into the hands of Yan Country.

To compensate for the combat losses, Yan Country naturally used the Jiao Corpse for large-scale alchemy to enhance the strength of their personnel, which led them to fall into the trap. Not only did they not boost their strength, but they also suffered heavy losses.

This move also backfired on some of the prominent families but it also exposed their own weaknesses, hence the families started to act out recently.

This was a case of cause and effect. If Yan Country hadn’t used the Jiao Corpse for alchemy, even with these losses, they would have been able to respond with force, but unfortunately, they made one wrong move.

The main issue was that the Jiao Pill was too terrifying. It didn’t show its side effects immediately after being consumed and refined, but instead took effect gradually over three to five days. During this period, as the Spiritual Power migrated throughout the body, it ensured that every part, along with the soul, was contaminated.

By the time they realized, it was already too late.

“This truly is a calamity,” Ji Shan remarked with a sigh.

Yan Country had not given up on these people; instead, they were constantly researching ways to restore them, or more simply, to control this group of dragon-human corpses. After consuming the Corpse Flood Dragon Pill, everyone’s strength improved, with some even achieving breakthroughs.

From Ji Shan’s observation, the range was from 2nd to 5th level, all very complete. If they could find a way to control them, it would be the prominent families who should be worried.

“Mr. Ji, the meeting is about to start,” Ji Shan’s assistant came over and said respectfully.

Meaning it was time to leave, no more delays.

Ji Shan smiled, “Let’s call it a day here then; it’s time for another session of shirking and evading responsibility.”

This was one of his few pleasures. Most people would be frustrated by such affairs because it meant that they couldn’t achieve their desired goals.

But Ji Shan was different. He had no fear, so it was more about punching down.

As a result, he didn’t care about the big picture, venting carefree. Ji Shan felt that what counted as the big picture wasn’t Earth but the Netherworld.

“Heaven’s Will Technique has been transmitted to you; master it as soon as possible, and then come to help me,” Qin Muye’s voice emerged in Ji Shan’s ears.

During this period, Qin Muye had been very busy, so he hadn’t chatted much with Ji Shan. Ji Shan, on the other hand, was busy practicing while gathering wealth. He even occasionally engaged in verbal spats with those noble families, leading quite a comfortable life.

Nor did he worry about his own safety; for Ji Shan, he possessed sufficient power.

Indeed, when he first descended to the position originally held by Ji Sheng, there were quite a few troubles, such as assassination attempts and poisoning. But after he made an example of one to scare the others, the problems disappeared.

Because he truly dared to kill, not adhering to the so-called rules of the noble family games.

“So soon? The Mystical Lord Seven Chapter Secret Scroll couldn’t possibly be finished as well, could it?” Ji Shan asked.

“The Mystical Lord Seven Chapter Secret Scroll is missing the last volume; it’s not that quick,” Qin Muye responded.

“The Heaven’s Will Technique is not simple. You will need some time to learn it, and it will take quite a while to master it. You’ll probably have to stop working on your Chaos Soul for now,” Qin Muye cautioned. Ji Shan’s protective technique, the Chaos Soul, was still in development and was far from complete.

As a Qi Refiner’s divine skill of the Primordial Spirit, not only does creation take time, but even mastering the divine skills themselves requires time. However, it’s less about needing continuous comprehension or sudden enlightenment, and more about the process of installation.

Divine Skills could be likened to software; learning them is like the downloading phase, and practicing them is like the installation phase. The most difficult part is naturally the learning phase.

Heaven’s Will Technique wasn’t created by Ji Shan himself, and since it involved Heaven’s Will, there was naturally a significant amount of material to learn.

Ji Shan looked at the Heaven’s Will Technique in his mind. This divine skill, also known as the Nine Tripods, integrated functions such as slaughter, protection, control, healing, escape, and investigation into one. It could be divided into nine bronze tripods or merged into a large formation, and it could be developed as a core divine skill.

The main material for it was Heaven’s Will, which he assumed was exclusive and irreplaceable; there was no way to replicate it even if one wanted to.

Correspondingly, the content was immensely complex, leaving Ji Shan’s face fall. Forget mastering the Nine Tripods Divine Power, even just studying it could take three to five months.

Since it involved something akin to the world’s will, like Heaven’s Will, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to modify. Only Qin Muye could’ve managed it; if it were someone else, it wouldn’t have been so easy, and Ji Shan reckoned he wouldn’t have been up to the task.

“Notify everyone that the meeting is canceled; I’m going to practice for a while. Don’t come looking for me unless it’s something major,” Ji Shan said and then turned to leave.

A meeting? Did they really think he came for a power struggle? As Black Hand said, this trifle… although he coveted it, compared to the resources within his territory, it was naturally worlds apart.

The important thing was to collaborate with Qin Muye to complete the main mission, not to squabble with these people over a little bit of trivial profit.

If he had nothing important to do it wouldn’t matter, but he was occupied and naturally wouldn’t waste time on it.

“This… but the old ancestors of many families have been waiting for a long time. Mister Ji, wouldn’t it be rather improper if you don’t go?” the assistant questioned hesitantly.

Ji Shan fell silent for a moment before replying, “Indeed, but since they’ve waited for so long, let them wait another three to five months until I finish my closed-door training before we hold this meeting.”

“…” The assistant was at a loss for words. Well, it seemed none of what he said had been heard.

Yet he dared not persuade further; after all, the other party had the strength to be wilful. Still, he wondered why Ji Shan played with these people in such a way. Over the past few days, he had come to realize that this nephew of Ji Sheng was rather capricious.

Yes, in everyone’s eyes, Ji Shan was capricious, acting very arbitrarily.

But in Ji Shan’s own view, when playing, one must be willful. If this wasn’t allowed, and neither was that, then what kind of play would that be?

“Having power really allows one to do as one pleases,” the assistant contemplated inwardly. If he had such strength, maybe he’d be just as carefree, but unfortunately, he did not.

So all he could do was envy in his heart. Although on the surface they maintained order, in essence, a change had already taken place, with the trend of the strong prevailing gradually beginning to replace everything else.
