Chapter 1301: Chapter 947: Six-Layered Soul, Divine Lord Ash

"Your Dull Holy Grail can actually be brought out?"

Vishi was a bit surprised: "I didn’t manage to bring out the Rainbow Holy Grail... Does it have any special effects? Is it enhancing the Seventh Void Wing?"

Ash smiled without saying a word, opened the wine bottle and filled the Holy Grail, then poured it into a glass. He repeated this several times, ensuring every drop of wine first passed through the Holy Grail. He distributed it to everyone, raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"

"Won’t drinking it make us submissive to you, turning into little fools who only call you Master?" Vishi said and drank it all in one go, "But I don’t mind, I’m already one."

But the maid’s words disgusted Igula and Harvey, who looked at Ash with disdain. Ash retorted, "Can’t you tell she’s being provocative? Am I that kind of person?"

"For a human male with eight romantic interests, I find it hard to trust your moral standards..." Igula reluctantly drank the wine in his cup.

Rose and Filly drank without hesitation, while Nia waited a moment, only drinking after seeing everyone else do so. After drinking, her eyes lit up: "Is the wine really this tasty?"

Not just Nia; even the experienced Vishi couldn’t help but lick her lips, though Rose remained calm and put down her glass directly.

"It’s not the wine that’s good." Ash raised the Holy Grail with a smile and said, "It’s only after passing through the Holy Grail that the liquid becomes tasty. It’s not complete now; its only effect is turning liquid into Dull Wine that anyone will be satisfied with."

"Dull Holy Grail (1/5)"

"Dull Wine: Any liquid that has been contained by the Holy Grail becomes exceptionally delicious, with alcohol being most effective. Everyone will be satisfied and it slightly replenishes energy."

"??? (More effects need to be unlocked with a complete Holy Grail)"

A full bottle of wine was emptied, Nia softly burped, immediately covering her mouth, with a faint blush rising on her face. During the gap while Rose went to the wine cellar, Vishi commented, "Yours is a fifth of the Dull Holy Grail; it seems the other four-fifths are in other demon’s hands. But how do we obtain them? What if they hide the Holy Grail?"

"The Dull Holy Grail seems completely bound to me," Ash analyzed, "meaning if I were to die, my Dull Holy Grail would be distributed among the remaining grails. Similarly, if other demons were to die, I should be able to acquire a complete Dull Holy Grail."

"So it appears we shouldn’t count on the complete effects of the Dull Holy Grail." Igula lightly tasted the Dull Wine, "Even with just this effect, you could open a bar and support yourself and your girlfriends."

"Haven’t you had enough of teasing for so long?" Ash’s mouth twitched, "And haven’t you noticed? Making others drink is the most inconsequential effect, as it’s ’satisfying wine for everyone,’ it’s satisfying for anyone!"

The group was momentarily stunned, and Vishi quickly reacted, "Technique Spirits can drink, too!?"

"That’s right!" Ash nodded emphatically, overjoyed, "This can substitute silver coins as feed for Technique Spirits, possibly even replacing Divine Being’s sustenance! Right now, we don’t need much to feed the Technique Spirits, but when we return to reality, this Holy Grail will save us a lot of trouble!"

Technique Spirits in the Void Realm don’t need much feeding because they can directly absorb energy from the Void Realm, requiring only light feeding in reality. If they needed feeding in the Void Realm, wouldn’t the creatures of the Void Realm, and the mage projections’ Technique Spirits starve?

Ash and his group currently don’t need much to feed Technique Spirits, but it’s a hassle back in reality where Ash has several four-winged Technique Spirits, which require national funding of silver coins to maintain, not to mention the heap of three-winged Technique Spirits.

With the Dull Holy Grail, they would simply feed the Technique Spirits wine. Although there might be tipsy after-effects, it’s much simpler than draining the national treasury to feed Technique Spirits!

Igula pondered, "So you’re not just supporting your girlfriends, but also feeding their Technique Spirits."

"Hey!"

"Alright, I won’t say anymore." Igula raised his hands in surrender, "After all, I can’t tackle nine people at once..."

"Mr. Igula."

Rose put down four bottles of wine calmly and said, "Ash has discreetly expressed his displeasure, and I hope you stop mocking, or I’ll have to ask you to leave."

Ash was taken aback, pulling Rose’s hand: "Rose, I—"

"I know." Igula leisurely replied, "It’s intentional. I know Ash doesn’t mind me mocking him personally, but he minds me mocking those who like him. I initially intended to escalate the level of mockery, continuing for days, until he couldn’t bear it, but if Rose you must stop it, then fine."

Ash paused, looking straight at Vishi, seeing the maid also with an amused and watchful expression. Certainly, Vishi was stirring things up when discussing his romantic ties with Igula, but she seemed more to match Igula’s performance.

"Why?" Rose inquired Ash’s question, "Aren’t you friends with Ash?"

"Yes, I am his friend, but I still tease him. I’m a morally questionable Swindler, but it doesn’t mean I can accept a friend’s misbehavior." Igula crossed his arms, "So I’m curious, if his messy relationships were made public, he might not mind what people say about him, but would the female leads of those relationships not mind?"

"We Blood Moonians don’t care much, no family, no friends." The Swindler shrugged, "But he seems not to repay his homeland, except for Meiwa, the rest aren’t Blood Moonians."

"Even Legendary Mages have families, friends, and pressures from social relations."

Harvey wasn’t interested in this topic, silently pouring himself a drink. Nia didn’t care either, she glanced at the nearby Filly and noticed the little lamb hugging her legs on the sofa, a faint worry hanging between her brows.

Nia said nothing, just quietly held Filly’s hand.

"If you’re just playing around, just for pleasure, even if you’re messing with a hundred or a thousand people, as long as you’re physically strong, I wouldn’t bother saying anything," Igula calmly said, "but you’re not just seeking pleasure, you want everyone to be happy."

"Even if your will is strong enough to ensure you’re not affected by these rumors, I reckon you wouldn’t want them to hear mockery, much less want them to feel they’ve chosen the wrong person, would you?"

"Although happiness lacks a unified standard, I doubt anyone would refuse having their choices recognized by family and friends, right?"

"You’re now a Legendary Mage. If they were ordinary people, it would be fine, but some of them are legendary, some are future legends," Igula calmly said, "Your current strength is not enough to prove their choice was right."

"You’ve already caused others grievances, so try not to embarrass them."

Ash gave a bitter smile, "I have yet to do any psychological counseling, and you’re adding to my mental strain. Remember to give me a comforting counseling package later."

Igula leisurely said, "In this world, only Swindlers and the gods can fulfill all your wishes, and psychologists are not included."

Ash exhaled lightly and nodded heavily, "Thank you, I understand."

"I just want to find a legitimate reason to mock you," Igula tucked her hair behind her ear, "Sorry, Filly, Nia."

Filly and Nia were startled, only realizing Igula was apologizing for involving them earlier. Filly shook her head to indicate she didn’t mind, but Nia lowered her head and murmured, "To prove that one’s not the wrong choice..."

Clap.

Her head was hit, and Nia instinctively covered her head, finding Ash had hit her with a lollipop, "What are you doing!?"

"In this room, two people aren’t allowed to be unhappy at the same time, take turns," Ash said leisurely, "So now let’s discuss the redistribution of the Seventh Void Wing—"

"But first, let’s talk about the Dream Treasury that’s incorporated into your soul," Vishi quickly switched topics, "Master, do you need a leg massage? Are your shoulders sore? Let me pour you a drink."

Ash glanced at the maid, "...Alright then. Regarding my soul, all I can say is..."

He was silent for a while, unable to utter a word, directly extending his hand, "Just see for yourselves, I don’t know how to describe it."

Everyone exchanged glances, reaching out to touch Ash’s body.

Ash actively connected with their souls, allowing them to perceive his soul—

Below was the ocean, a fish was floating on the sea, a bull was standing on the fish’s back, carrying Ruby Mountain, above Ruby Mountain was a chaotic and blurred Hell, above Hell was the six-section World Territory, and above it was the enigmatic and ethereal Heaven.

Fish, one layer; Bull, one layer; Ruby, one layer; Hell, one layer; Earth, one layer; Heaven, one layer!

Just from Igula and the others’ observation, there were six layers of existence, not even counting the ocean below! Moreover, the World Territory was divided into six different segments, red, orange, green, cyan, blue, purple, each area having its own main color, emitting various magical energies!

Igula and the others mainly felt overwhelmed by the complex magical energy in Ash’s soul; how many magical practices has this guy cultivated?

Most of Ash’s Technique Spirits were on the World Territory, even though they were widely dispersed, they still struggled to dominate even a corner of one segment! By comparing them with his Technique Spirits, they vividly sensed the vastness of Ash’s six-layered soul, it was simply...

Not even a kingdom in reality could compare!

"When I saw it, I was shocked for an entire hour," Ash said, "Do you all want to give it a try too?"

Vishi slowly came back to her senses and suddenly said, "I previously mentioned that after my reincarnation, I specialized in the Soul Faction, even capable of enduring a layer of Hell directly through the soul."

"Once my soul quality surpassed a certain threshold, my soul began to take the shape of a temple, which is my proudest secret—even at the mortal stage constructing a temple of the soul, for thousands of years, I’d be among the top tier mages of the Soul Faction!"

"I secured about 1.03% of the Dream Treasury quota and with just that one percent, my soul has begun to take the shape of a Heavenly Position temple. As long as I pass the Hell Trial, I would possess the highest grade temple in the Heavenly Position, having a starting point in the Fifth Wing path far beyond any Demigod."

"But compared to yours, the Heavenly Position temple is simply garbage." Vishi’s lips twitched, gripping Ash’s arm forcefully, almost as if trying to wring it out, "Your starting point is the ultimate goal unreachable by any Demigod!"

"This isn’t a temple prototype at all, it’s a Heavenly Kingdom prototype!"

"You’re just one step away from the Divine Lord!"
