New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 215 Secondary Professions [Second Blank Panel]

After repeatedly checking and confirming that everything was correct, Yuan Zhu stood in the attic, staring blankly at the arranged [Three Phases Ritual] by the light coming through the window, feeling as if his spirit was about to be sucked in.

He then shook his head violently, dispelling the illusion that had surfaced in his mind. Only then did he belatedly realize that the seemingly ordinary arrangement of these sacrificial materials, following some kind of pattern, had already begun to take effect.

The setup for the Three Phases Ritual is not complicated, and the difficulty is almost zero. Any ordinary person can complete it in 10-15 minutes by rigidly following the instructions.

Everything involved, including the offerings and materials, is related to the number three.

For example, gold, silver, and bronze materials need to be placed at the three corners of the ceremony, arranged in an equilateral triangle.

The requirement for gold is the lowest; you only need to get some gold from a gold shop or break off a few fingers from the palm of a gold Buddha in his collection to meet the requirement.

Because gold is naturally linked to the "Golden Rule" as the root cause of pollution. It possesses absolute gold content or value without any additional special processing.

As for the materials [Silver] and [Copper], ordinary materials cannot be used. Therefore, he had already selected the most commonly used [Mithril] and [Orichalcum] from the exchange list of [Happy Home].

Although the two types of rare metals are expensive, the weight requirement for the Triad Ritual is extremely low; just 10 grams of each is enough.

These three metals are the most expensive among the many materials used in the [Three Phases Ritual].

In addition, the ceremony involves a large number of common materials, always revolving around the number three. Yet, based on individual economic means, a large number of replaceable 'materials' are provided.

For example, you could choose inexpensive and affordable fresh apples, but request that three different varieties be displayed at the same time. Or, you could choose three different brands and scents of perfume.

Common everyday items, minerals, jewelry... all sorts of random things, arranged in different orders in three different locations. Gathering so many materials, some expensive and some cheap, according to the requirements was quite a chore.

The materials used in these offerings, as well as the arrangement of the ceremony, all embody the unique meaning of the "Power of the Three Phases," namely, the "Trinity."

Like isotopes, they divide a substance into three different yet unified aspects. These offerings are like this, and so are the people who bear the power of the three phases.

After being affected by the [Power of the Three Phases], the soul, which could only deeply merge with one [Source of Pollution], was split into three aspects. From then on, it could bind to three sources of pollution simultaneously; this is the [Three-Phase].

When the three phases are formed, the instigator is born, and this is the unity.

Recalling the contents of the [Three-Phase Power] in his mind, Yuan Zhu no longer hesitated, stepped into the center of the equilateral triangle of the [Three-Phase Ritual], then closed his eyes and officially started the ritual.

The procedure is equally simple: use your willpower to summon the power of the Triads, and look upon me! Behold me!
At this moment, this thought had just arisen in his mind.

In the darkness, a vast and ethereal will, like the 'laws of the universe,' descended upon his body and entered his mind in an instant, drawn by the [ritual].

Inside the attic, not a single breath of air stirred up a speck of dust; everything was calm as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Zhu felt a gentle breeze caress his soul, and then the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture began to resonate.

This time, it wasn't a strong firewall alert; it was simply a normal response from the [Immortal Scripture.Client] in its 'human form' to a friendly access request to [Three Phases Power].

The Immortal Scripture Client notifies him: "Your 'Class Template 2.0 (Human/Holy Light)' has been automatically updated. Please check it promptly."

Feeling the gentle breeze dissipate from his heart, Yuan Zhu opened his eyes in confusion, looking at the 'ritual setup' at his feet that seemed unchanged, his face full of doubt: "Snake, is that all?"

The little spicy snack was equally bewildered: "I don't know!"

Yuan Zhu squatted down, staring intently at the 'ritual materials' at his feet, even picking up the apple in front of him. Its color, freshness, and even aroma remained unchanged.

In addition, many of the offerings he carefully selected, which carried 'polluted energy', such as the three kinds of spiritual insect molts (spiritual medicines) from [Cicada City], did not lose or evaporate any of the 'insect-type pollution' inside.

The same applies to other materials; they remain in the same state as before the ceremony and afterward.

Yuan Zhu's expression was grave: "So, what just happened? Did the Three Phases Ritual fail?"

Snake: "No, the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture Client] did update automatically, it should have succeeded, right?"

Yuan Zhu quickly focused his senses and confirmed that the [Boss Template] belonging to the Tiger Demon remained unchanged and completely unaffected. However, the [Single-Player Version of the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] in human form showed a slight change.

Previously, there was only one page called "Holy Light," but now the "Client" has a second, completely transparent blank panel in addition to the "Holy Light" panel.

He only needed to sense it slightly to understand that the [Triple Power] had taken effect and activated at lightning speed. This second transparent blank panel, which appeared alongside the [Holy Light], was defined by the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] as a [Virtual Machine] or a [Soul Mirror].

In essence, the human form (ordinary human) still only has one soul, which can only merge with one kind of [pollution].

However, with the blessing of the [Triple Power], this soul, using itself as its foundation/anchor, projects a blank [virtual soul], allowing it to bind and merge with the second type of [contamination].

At this point, the original corrupted soul remains the main body, occupying the core position and acting as the ballast. The strength of the blank mirrored soul and the newly merged corrupted soul can never exceed that of the 'main body'.

However, when the intensity of the 'Mirror Image Corrupting the Soul' approaches that of the 'True Soul', the [Triple-Phase Patient] can choose to change the primary and secondary positions of the 'Soul', transforming the [Mirror Image Corrupting the Soul] into the [True Soul].

Once the first two phases of the Three Phases have reached the stage of the Gate, the final Virtual Soul can be opened to welcome the third source of pollution. At this point, the Three Phases are complete, and the Instigator returns to its rightful place.

...

"So simple? So easy!"

Yuan Zhu only slightly sensed the [client] before comprehending the secrets of the [Three Phases] from the transparent 'blank panel'.

There's absolutely no mystery to it; it can be opened casually and easily.

It starts at a perfect state, and you can easily add any [Contamination System] to work part-time. By upgrading it to 'Dual [Doors]', you can achieve perfect part-time work again and earn the title of 'Triple-Phase Mental Illness'.

Yuan Zhu, suspicious and paranoid, said, "I feel like something's not right?"

Snake: "Really? We did indeed activate the Tri-Phase Power smoothly, unbelievably smoothly, easier than breathing or drinking water, and there was no outward change. This reminds me of Old Kai unlocking Gohan's potential; the Tri-Phase Power is indeed mysterious and unpredictable!"

Yuan Zhu stopped worrying about whether it was a real event or a pure illusion [Human Posture. Second Panel].

He fixed his gaze on the 'offerings' on the ground and said, "Look, these materials are exactly the same as before the ritual, with no energy dissipation. I suspect that if we resell these 'offerings,' we can still get the original price?"

Snake said decisively, "Don't doubt it, nothing has changed. If you let me handle the transaction, I can even sell it for over 1 yuan, allowing you to make a small profit!"

"What's the principle?"

The seemingly mundane Three-Phase Ritual caused Yuan Zhu to become suspicious, wondering if the Power of the Three-Phase truly existed. Was the seemingly ordinary yet bizarre "light-speed upgrade" in the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture real or fake?

Undeterred, he picked up the apple and took a bite. He immediately found it juicy, sweet with a hint of tartness—the flavor was just right.

"So sweet!"

He stared blankly at the chipped apple, then suddenly complained, "So... what's the point of this 'ritual'? I went through all that trouble collecting materials, and it didn't cost me anything. I even suspect that if I called 10 more people over now and had them line up to enter this 'ritual,' they could all unlock their own 'Tripartite Power' for free?"

Snake shook her head decisively: "Impossible, it will definitely fail! You set up this [ritual], and you bought all the materials, so only you can use it."

Yuan Zhu asked, puzzled, "What's the logic behind this?"

Snake: "I also learned some principles about the power of the three phases from the 'virtual mirror (blank panel)' in the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture. The ritual itself does not consume anything, but these materials and arrangements are essential. What the ritual truly requires is your sincerity and attitude, your desire and expectation for the power of the three phases."

"Boss, you painstakingly collected these inexpensive yet tedious 'materials.' You poured your heart and soul into this process, and these are the true 'sacrifice.' As the owner of the materials, you personally arranged the ritual, and your attitude was impeccable. Therefore, when you invoked the [Triple Power], the [Triple Power] took notice of you and descended to activate the [Triple Power] for you."

"As for these materials, they are part of the ritual itself, which has already been used. But they are also unused. These materials can be sold as 'original goods,' and you will never need to hold a second ritual in your life. However, it is impossible for a second person to enter this 'ritual' and complete the descent of the 'Three Phases.' The intention must be there, so the second person must personally collect the materials and arrange their own 'ritual' in order to establish their own connection with the 'Power of the Three Phases.'"

After listening, Yuan Zhu's expression turned strange, and he exclaimed, "It's really eerie!"

Aside from the gentle breeze he felt on his soul level when he closed his eyes and invoked the power of the Three Phases, and the sudden upgrade of the Immortal Scripture Client to 'version 2.0', he had no other perception of the Three Phases.

They even doubted that it was all a false illusion, and that nothing had happened.

So... once the three phases are complete, will the instigator also subtly and silently appear in one's mind? Without one's own awareness, will it silently instigate and guide one's behavior patterns?
"Damn, that's kind of scary!"

The more Yuan Zhu thought about it, the colder his heart became. But it was too late for regrets now; his [Triple Power] had already been activated, making him practically a half-step madman.

Snake wasn't afraid of the second panel. He thought to himself, "Didn't we already agree that once the three phases are activated, it'll be a free side job?"

The fact that this thing is so cheap that it costs almost nothing is somewhat surprising to the snake.

"It's a pity that these personally collected materials can't be sold directly to a second three-phase user. Even if money is exchanged for goods, these materials won't be effective again. However, if these materials enter the trading market and are painstakingly collected by another three-phase user after the transition, they can be used to set up the ritual again."

Yuan Zhu: "The main idea is that sincerity brings results, right?"

Snake: "Never mind all that! This [Triple Phase] isn't fun at all, let's just keep working on [Anti-Law]!"

After gradually recovering from the shock of the Three Phases, Yuan Zhu regained his composure. He activated the Three Phases precisely for the purpose of countering the laws; now everything was ready except for the final push.

"Good! Let's strike while the iron is hot and get the [Anti-Law] done right now!"

He first collected all the prepared 'Three-Phase Ritual Materials' one by one. Those with some value or money were put back into the [Little Pumpkin]. As for everyday items such as 'apples', he threw them all to the [Snake Demon]. They melted in his mouth and were instantly converted into nutrients by the [Inner Universe].

After everything was settled, Yuan Zhu once again retrieved the materials for taking up the post of [Anti-Law] from the [Soul Space].

To enter the realm of [Holy Light], one must first be branded with [Holy Mark]; to enter the realm of [Buddhism], one must implant [Buddha Cocoon]; and to enter the realm of [Sword Immortal], one must first undergo a set of [Sword Blessing] to feel the presence of sword energy.

The introduction to the "anti-law" can be divided into two categories.

[Lower Rank. Anti-Law] requires no preparation. Just find an [Anti-Law Demon God] to be your boss, cling to his coattails, express your long-standing admiration, and be willing to take out a loan from him to sell yourself, signing a contract of servitude.

If the [Anti-Law God and Demon] takes a liking to you, they can establish an [Anti-Law Contract], granting you extraordinary power and allowing you to rise to the top in one step, embarking on a path of no return as a wage earner.

For example, pledging allegiance to [King Mao Mao].

Once the [Mao Clan Anti-Law Contract] is established, the [uniform] given upon joining the company can be used as a crystallization of pollution to condense the [seed] within the [Mao Mao King] system.

On this road, in the Happy Home, only Bread Girl Mai Lili walks.

As for the other one, it's even more awesome, and it's called the "Superior Anti-Theorem" or the "Path of the Anti-Theorem Demon God"!
The details are simple: obtain a 'quasi-god-level' [Source of Pollution] to serve as the [Core of Anti-Law]. Then, find a way to acquire an [Anti-Law Contract], and finally bind it to your own soul. This will allow you to become the [Source of Anti-Law], and from then on, operate your own [Source of Pollution], making it bigger, stronger, and creating brilliance.

As for the [Anti-Law Contract], it can be roughly understood as the [Reverse Refinement of the Pale Law], or it can be seen as the [Anti-Law Demon God's] ascension ritual.

In short, the [Space of Gods] has a large number of ready-made [Contracts] for sale. Ambitious individuals can purchase them directly, then create alternate accounts to become gods and try their hand at 'anti-law entrepreneurship'.

Yuan Zhu's strength was limited, and this item wasn't on the [Exchange List] he had access to. However, the captain could purchase it on his behalf. Now, he only needed to select the [Quasi-God/Demon Level] [Source of Pollution], sign the contract, and he could directly activate his own [Anti-Law] in one step.

Snake: "Now, here's the question. Is it 'using humans to control tigers,' or 'using tigers to control humans'?"
