NOVEL WEB Chapter 244: Uprising of the Demon Realm
“Well said!”
Qin Zhengji looked at Qin Bei in front of him and gave him a thumbs up.
Qin Bei’s perspective was really to his taste.
Thinking back to after he fell into darkness, those mortals who once looked at him like a god later regarded him with disgust and fear.
That kind of gaze, and because of that gaze, he ultimately couldn’t keep his emotions in check.
It resulted in a massive catastrophe.
“Since you think it’s a good idea, when will you give it to me?”
Qin Bei grinned at Qin Zhengji.
“What will I give you?”
“I… You can’t be serious, old man. Didn’t we agree that you’d give me the souls of demons? I don’t mind—give me as many as you have! I just happen to be really into boosting my soul power right now.”
Qin Bei bit back a curse.
Because if he cursed this person, it would only land back on him. So, Qin Bei remained rational and kept his mouth shut.
“Of course, I can give it to you, but you have to help me first, right? Otherwise, with so many suppressed demons around, you wouldn’t be able to handle them, would you? No way, no way? You can’t seriously think that with your Golden Core strength, you can run rampant among a group of high-level demon cultivators? Come on, don’t kid me!”
Qin Zhengji was almost rolling on the floor laughing.
His grandson was just too confident for his own good.
He hadn’t taken the suppressed demons here seriously at all.
He thought their souls could be easily snatched.
“I get it. So, you want me to rescue you first, and then you’ll catch some for me, right?”
“Yep, that’s the deal.”
Qin Zhengji smiled and nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’m your great-great-great grandfather; I absolutely won’t deceive you.”
Qin Zhengji assured him.
Since he had already said that, Qin Bei had nothing else to say.
After all, his goal had been achieved; he just wanted to snag some more benefits.
He didn’t want anything else now.
“Alright, let’s start right now.”
Qin Bei nodded in agreement.
“Now, I must be clear: this time, I’m going to fully activate the formation. Once activated, there’s no stopping it. You must continuously supply your soul power; otherwise, the consequences will be dire.”
“And this is a lengthy process. You need to be mentally prepared; it’ll definitely consume a lot of your soul power. Be ready—don’t just quit halfway through.”
Having seen Qin Bei just now, Qin Zhengji felt it was necessary to remind him about that.
He definitely didn’t want a repeat of giving up halfway. That would be a real mess.
“Got it! Don’t worry, since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word. I have at least that much integrity!”
Qin Bei nodded in agreement.
He had already thought this through when he made the promise to Qin Zhengji.
For Qin Bei, once he decided, there were no second thoughts.
“That’s good. Let’s get started then.”
Qin Zhengji nodded, his expression clearly becoming more serious.
Although he seemed like he was treating this as a trial, he had long awaited this day.
Qin Bei’s expression also turned serious.
For him, getting some good gains from his elders was old hat, and he even reveled in the process.
He enjoyed seeing the painful expressions on the faces of his elders.
Watching that was just too amusing.
This was probably what he often meant when he said he liked playing around while enjoying good food and drink.
But in matters of life and death, Qin Bei wouldn’t take things lightly.
So, he was completely serious; before starting, he asked Qin Zhengji a ton of questions.
He worried about any possible problems cropping up midway.
Seeing his sincerity calmed Qin Zhengji down quite a bit.
At least, for now, it seemed like Qin Bei was serious and responsible.
That eased his worries considerably.
When the formation was fully activated, Qin Bei truly witnessed what a real formation looked like.
The intricacy of the runes was such that even Qin Bei, who didn’t have a phobia of density, felt uncomfortable just by looking.
Without even needing to use his dual pupils, he knew that even if he had them, there would be no way to find the formation’s weak points.
Because they were simply on different levels.
“Alright! Now, remember to continuously supply your soul power!”
As the formation activated, Qin Zhengji repeated his reminder.
The importance of that was clear.
Qin Bei didn’t say anything more; he just directly injected his soul power into the formation.
This time, he wasn’t stingy as he had been before.
Visible soul power began to flow into the formation in waves.
After passing through the formation, it grew stronger once again.
Finally, it entered the coffin and began to evolve slowly.
Qin Zhengji’s soul power was so potent that Qin Bei couldn’t even compare.
If not for the formation’s assistance, all Qin Bei could do was provide some relief to Qin Zhengji.
This was a lengthy process.
Throughout this time, there was no further exchange between Qin Bei and Qin Zhengji.
A whole day whipped by in no time at all.
During this day, Qin Bei’s soul power was depleting rapidly.
The soul power that had originally condensed into a miniature figure gradually became blurred, eventually dispersing outright.
This was because the remaining soul power was insufficient to maintain such a soul little person.
But Qin Bei still didn’t stop supplying his soul power.
He knew that the current losses were temporary.
The most crucial thing was to help Qin Zhengji recover.
And throughout this day, the eroded soul within the coffin visibly weakened.
Meanwhile, outside, Qin Zhengji’s soul power noticeably grew stronger.
However, this day was merely an appetizer.
There was still a lot left that hadn’t been purified.
Thus, Qin Bei’s task still lay heavily ahead.
………
In the middle of this, Shouming came in to check on things.
When he realized Qin Bei could actually assist Qin Zhengji, the way he looked at Qin Bei shifted.
The robotic gaze now had emotions.
It was gratitude.
Yet just as he pondered on how to thank Qin Bei, his brows suddenly furrowed.
He sensed something was amiss in the Demon Realm.
A riot was brewing in the Demon Realm!
“This day was bound to come eventually.”
Shouming stared at Qin Zhengji in the room and mumbled to himself, after which his figure vanished without a trace.
At that moment, the still-weak Qin Zhengji and Qin Bei had no idea an unprecedented event was unfolding in the Demon Realm.
