Reverend Insanitys Biography of Qitiab

In two vast apertures, true essence surged like an ocean, and waves of purple crystal essence washed against the walls of the apertures.

The first aperture's aura had recovered to mid-stage rank five, while the second aperture had also broken through to early-stage rank five.

The former was gradually integrating into Northern Plains, and before entering Royal Court, it was no issue to restore it to peak rank five.

The latter was entirely infused with the aura of Northern Plains, and with just three Purple Crystal Relic Gu, it could directly reach peak rank five.

With numerous Gu worms supporting the soul-slave path, some floated on the surface of the true essence sea, some sank to the seabed, while others parasitized various parts of the body.

The apertures were incredibly mystical—one resided in the navel, the other in the chest cavity—yet they no longer occupied the same space as the five internal organs. They could expand infinitely.

No matter how many Gu worms were placed inside, they never seemed crowded.

The slave path Gu worms included:

Numerous Horse Control Gu, as well as: Spur-on Horse Gu, Golden Horse Armor Gu, Horse Neigh Gu, Rein Gu, Galloping Horse Gu, Horse Ear Gu, Horse Sweat Gu, Saddle Gu…

The soul path Gu worms included:

Ghost Cloud Cushion Gu, Swift Ghost Cloud Gu, Ghost Qi Gu, Soul Lock Gu, Burial Soul Toad, Flying Soul Gu, Soul Chain Gu, Fusion Soul Gu, Soul Explosion Gu…

Additionally, there were:

Concealment Gu, Toast Exchange Gu, Star Gate Gu, Breath Concealing Gu, Shared Qi Gu, Qi Eye Gu, and more.

The soul-slave paths complemented each other. There was even an old saying:

> "Since ancient times, the soul and slave paths have never been separate."

There were no clear conflicts between them.

In his previous life, Qi Tian had also developed killer moves that combined both soul and slave paths. However, given his current identity, it was difficult to explain their origins, making them unsuitable for use.

Fortunately, someone had delivered a killer move that combined the two paths—Dragon Horse Spirit!

And that person was Xue Songzi, a demonic path Gu Immortal secretly supporting the Ma family.

Xue Songzi had been eyeing the Wooden Chicken Immortal Gu for a long time and had been closely watching the Royal Court Contest. When the Ma family became the leader of Tianchuan Alliance, he established contact with them, hoping to place his bet on them.

The Ma family was a golden family, and in this generation's Royal Court Contest, they were united in purpose. After integrating Tianchuan's military, their strength increased significantly. Though still weaker than the top-ranking families, they had a clear advantage over other large families.

However, the top-ranking families were backed by righteous path Gu Immortals, who would never cooperate with a demonic path Gu Immortal. That made the Ma family the best choice for Xue Songzi.

Collaborating with a demonic path Gu Immortal was a serious risk—if exposed, they would face joint suppression from the righteous path. Thus, the Ma family hesitated to commit.

Meanwhile, Xue Songzi, as a lone demonic path Gu Immortal, lacked the strength to force the Ma family into cooperation. He could only use enticement, and the Dragon Horse Spirit killer move was one of his gifts.

This killer move was composed of 24 Gu worms, with the majority being soul path Gu worms, a smaller portion being slave path Gu worms, and a few blood path Gu worms.

Its core lay in modifying souls, using live horses to create mutated horse souls. Each mutated horse soul was formidable, and when they self-destructed, their power multiplied. Furthermore, as soul entities, they were immune to physical attacks.

This demonstrated how soul path supported slave path.

Meanwhile, commanding these horse souls in battle showed how the slave path supported the soul path.

The fusion of the soul and slave paths made this killer move exceptionally powerful—at the mortal level, it was top-tier.

However, its cost was immense. Besides requiring the sacrifice of large horse herds, using it also resulted in rank degradation. Due to this severe drawback, it was only suitable as a last resort, to be used in life-or-death situations.

To Qi Tian, this kind of killer move was not worth using. He was not unwilling to pay a price, but rather, he considered the cost-benefit ratio unacceptable.

However, with his soul path grandmaster-level foundation, he could improve this killer move.

Since it was merely a mortal-level killer move, involving only twenty-some Gu worms, Qi Tian had more than enough time to enhance it.

He could incorporate some of his previous-life techniques, providing a plausible origin story while avoiding unnecessary exposure.

With a solid direction in soul path, Qi Tian turned his thoughts to Qi Dao.

He recalled how, in the original story, Fang Yuan created the immortal killer move "Ten Thousand Me", a fusion of the strength and slave paths.

Even back on Earth, Qi Tian had noticed a pattern in anime:

> "Whatever technique the protagonist uses is always the best."

In Reverend Insanity, Fang Yuan might not have the strongest protagonist aura, but his signature move "Ten Thousand Me" had tremendous potential.

Qi Tian had already developed a soul-slave version of "Ten Thousand Me" in his previous life.

Now, he was considering a Qi-slave version.

This type of accumulation-based, explosive-release killer move was both common and highly effective.

Perhaps fusing the soul-based "Ten Thousand Me" with the Qi-based version could serve as a stepping stone for merging soul and Qi paths?

Qi Tian shook his head.

> "One step at a time, one bite at a time."

Even with two vast apertures allowing him to mainly cultivate two paths, merging soul and Qi was still too early to consider.

For now, it was enough to fuse slave path with both soul and Qi separately, forming two distinct combat systems.

He had already been secretly accumulating Qi Dao Gu worms from Huang Jin Heaven, and with his Southern Border collection, he could now refine a Qi Dao Gu set suited for Northern Plains.

Qi Dao still had to be kept hidden, so it was best to build up resources slowly.
