Chapter 995: A Dragon Trapped in a Shallow Pool of Water
"Did you sense it too, Jadefall?" the immortal-slaying clone asked. Quite a few people had taken to calling the clone ‘Exalted Immortal-Slayer’ recently.
"Yang Qi’s trapped somewhere," she replied, her eyes flickering with anxiety, "and he's facing some sort of big tribulation."
"Yes, he's dealing with a disaster," the clone said, shaking his head. "Unbeknownst to neither him nor me, cultivating the True-Devil Unspoiled-by-Myriad-Kalpas-and-Tribulations Body and the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth at the same time has led to a big problem. Right now, his will is trapped in his sea of consciousness, and if he continues his cultivation, he’ll end up turning into little more than a statue." He went on to provide some more details about the situation.
"So what do we do, Exalted Immortal-Slayer?" Jadefall said. "Do you have any ideas at all?"
"He and I started out as exactly the same person. Although I'm an independent entity now, I still have a connection to his will and essence. And in the future, we’ll need to work together to deal with the resurrected King Immortal-Slayer, whose first act will be to try to possess me. Obviously, if Yang Qi experiences cultivation deviation, my future will be a bleak one. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good ideas. The upside is that Yang Qi’s will is very strong, so I'm sure he’ll survive."
"Why can’t you just bring him here to the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, then search for some pieces of this Mahātmā Jade? After all, time isn’t a problem inside the chart."
"I can’t. The Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart can’t open a passage into that prison. Even if I had the spatial coordinates, which I don’t, the restrictions are too powerful for me to break through. Perhaps I should take a trip to the Will Manifestation Heaven Sect and see if I can get my hands on the psychic scaling systems! Those systems should relieve Yang Qi’s situation and allow his psychic powers to grow again."
Nodding, the immortal-slaying clone suddenly faded from sight.
The immortal-slaying clone had a very refined cultivation base, as well as the Engine of the One God, King Heaven-Devourer’s talismans, the godhood stars from the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and numerous other magical treasures. Right now, he was so strong that he might not even lose in a fight against Yang Qi.

Back in the prison, Yang Qi sat there quietly, having just received a message from the clone about the current plan.
"Well, boy? You're already having trouble circulating your true energy, aren’t you?" The Wretch-God Apostle laughed. "My Wretch Spirit Needle stimulated your nascent divinity a bit, but the effect will fade. You may as well be trying to transcend some tribulation right now. Once it's over, you're going to lose your mind and turn into nothing more than a statue."
"Transcend tribulation?" All of a sudden, Yang Qi was hit with a bolt of inspiration. ‘How could I have forgotten? My cultivation base actually isn’t at the Grand Emperor level! I'm only on the fourth stair of the Deathless Heavenly Stairway, the Stair of Endurance. There are plenty more stairs for me to climb! Becoming a Grand Emperor should automatically improve my psychic scale. The heavens never truly bar one’s way!’
The Godmyth level involved rising from the first division to the ninth. Then, as a Chaos God, one would face the Deathless Heavenly Stairway. Afterward, everything was a matter of developing the will.
