My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

The sword devil patriarch practically glowered as his sect master was now fighting Miedo, his sword immediately went for a decapitation slash on Yun Jhin's body, Yun Jhin blocked the sword with his sharp iron fans and gave a counterattack directly to the man's belly, ready to make him lose his innards. The sword devil patriarch dodged by jumping backward but then a muffled sound came out of his head as his soul willpower took a hit, he started to bleed from his nose as he staggered for a bit before he stood his ground.

The moment he stood his ground properly he was met with an iron fan directly to the shoulder which disabled his left arm.

The sword devil patriarch shouted in pain, even though his muscles were thick and strong he was at the second level of the heavenly stage which was below Sun Sisheng's body. The Iron fan was ready to give the sword devil patriarch his final hit when it suddenly stopped near his forehead as Yun Jhin said in a slow tone:

"I can forgive you for this intrusion and that you planted spies in my sect, but you have to give me your allegiance!"

Yun Jhin knew the patriarch wouldn't give out his allegiance but he acted just like Sun Sisheng would, as he knew it would happen the sword devil patriarch said in a loud tone as he looked from his downed position directly into Yun Jhin's eyes:

"I Miao Suiren am not a coward, kill me but you cannot humiliate me!"

The fight with the corpse king was still going on as the effeminate man was almost cut in two more than one time, he was using a dagger vs a katana so it was pretty much a fight that he would certainly lose.

Yun Jhin shook his head as he said:

"Miao Suiren I have given you a way out but you just didn't want to take it, your sect will still be in my hands if you die, why don't you just accept your outcome and serve me? As you should have seen by now I have broken through the third stage of the heavenly realm, it's time for our sects to merge with me as the main patriarch! Let's not even talk about the fact that my sect is the only one which has two heavenly realm powerhouses."

The sword devil patriarch Miao Suiren seemed to ponder these words when suddenly out of his mouth a sword appeared which was thrust directly towards Yun Jhin's throat, Yun Jhin easily dodged the thrust as he shook his head and said:

"I already know this trick, anything else you have for me?"

Miao Suiren was fuming but as he looked at his sect master direction he saw that he captured Miedo!

A victorious smile appeared on his face as he said:

"If you do anything to me your son is dead!"

Yun Jhin looked towards Miedo's direction and suddenly the sect master that took Miedo hostage collapsed in a heap as blood dripped down from his nose ears and eyes, Suiren eyes widened in horror as he looked at Yun Jhin and said:

"You, you! is this the power you unlock at the third stage?"

Yun Jhin shook his head as he looked at Miao Suiren's form that was struggling to get up from the ground, even though he was tall and full of muscles he still looked pretty pitiful in the current situation. Yun Jhin walked forward and placed his fan near the man's thyroid artery as he slowly said while observing the battle between the corpse king and the effeminate man:

"Nao Mao won't be able to deal with the corpse king, I haven't even unleashed it's full capability yet, do you want to enjoy the show with me or should I end it now?"

Miao Suiren looked down at the ground as he shook his head dismally, the lack of news that Yun Jhin broke through the 3rd level of the heavenly stage combined with the additional heavenly realm expert the alliance between the sword devil sect and the fairies sect was meant to fail spectacularly due to the critical lack of information. But it wasn't mostly because of that, normally even if Sun Sisheng broke through to the third level he would have had a hard time beating the duo and he might have even died at their hands, but Yun Jhin's soul was way stronger and thus in the heavenly realm he was practically invincible as long as the difference between the stages wasn't too big.

Finally, after a short while of fighting Nao Mao collapsed as the poison that the corpse king was emanating from his mouth finally reached his bloodstream and paralyzed him. Yun Jhin shook his head as he looked at the duo and then attacked their sea of consciousness with his slave imprint, it was the same as trying to imprint it on undead but the duo had to accept it otherwise if he forcefully tried to enslave them he might turn them into idiots. Even though he could control people remotely the distance between the sects was too big so he could only opt for a slave contract.

The duo's eyes widened in surprise, for Nao Mao that was the only part of his body which he could move anyway if that mattered, Yun Jhin dangled a bottle with a white content in it as he looked at Nao Mao with a smug smile and said:

"If you want to move again I would recommend you to accept the soul willpower inside your consciousness."

Nao Mao would have gritted his teeth and cursed if he could but all he could do was giving a glare, Yun Jhin shook his head and said:

"Glare some more, glare until your eyes fall out, let's see how you will be able to start to move again."

Nao Mao was trembling inside as he looked at the antidote bottle and finally opened up his consciousness as Yun Jhin scared his consciousness with his soul willpower directly transforming him into a slave that he could control at will, even though he still had his personality and memories and he could even act however he wanted when he wasn't in Yun Jhin's presence he couldn't disobey him no matter what order he gave, he would also have to obey others who had Yun Jhin's bloodline.

Miao Suiren looked down at his big hands and was ready to press his sword into his stomach to kill himself when a hand stopped him, Yun Jhin looked down at him and said:

"Even if you want to kill yourself I won't let you, having a 4th capable heavenly realm warrior would make us a middle rate sect around these parts, don't you want to be part of it?"

Yun Jhin threw the antidote at the corpse king which then fed Nao Mao, afterward, the man got up and kneeled directly to Yun Jhin as he said:

"Nao Mao bows to master Sun Sisheng"

Yun Jhin nodded and waves his hand as he sent a mental command for him to go back to his sect and order everyone to search for some materials that he needed, some for the transformation of the Yin constitution and some for his main body, he also told him to throw the female body's into the cemetery as she might become a good zombie for the sect.

Nao Mao grabbed the female's body as he left quickly, Miao Suiren shook his head as he looked at Yun Jhin and said:

"I should accept this but, I don't want to, I just don't want to, all my life I thought myself as a leader and as of someone with high importance in the sect, my former master chose me because of my talent with the sword, I cannot go under someone else!"

Yun Jhin's smile turned into a frown as his brows locked and he said:

"I wasn't urging you to accept, it was a command!"

Suddenly the soul willpower that went into the man's consciousness turned violent as it started to scar the man's psyche, he started to roll around the ground as his wounds opened up and blood started to fall, his muscles were writhing as Yun Jhin started to carve them with his iron fan, then he said in slowly:

"Do you accept it now?"

Miao Suiren started laughing like a mad man as he threw himself at Yun Jhin as a devilish red light engulfed him, Yun Jhin's eyes narrowed that was a devil detonating technique, it was a technique given to devil slaves, it would be normally used in wars where the slaves would detonate themselves to get rid of the enemies cannon fodder and even luckily some of the foot soldiers.

Yun Jhin's fingers moved so quickly that they didn't even blur as he hit 3 acupoints on the man's chest and the devilish light subsided, Yun Jhin's face was near the man's as only a few centimeters were between them as a cold voice came out of the body snatchers mouth:

"Interesting technique, mind if you tell me where you got your hands on it?"

The man vomited one mouthful of blood as he gritted his teeth and said:

"Torture me as you may but I won't tell you a thing!"

Yun Jhin hated this persistent and prideful types, most of the time they wouldn't break down to torture and they would take important information down with them, sometimes not even the most painful sensation would defeat the wills of such warriors, they could be killed but not humiliated and Miao Suiren was one of these types of annoying people. (...)

I looked at the fool's prone form as he sat on the ground trying to regulate his breathing, what a waste of a fully useful servant, I shook my head as my arm directly went through his chest, torturing him would be a waste of time, I withdrew my arm and cleaned it off his filthy blood, Miedo was looking at me with wide eyes as he smiled and said:

"I knew father would defeat them easily, haha!"

I nodded in Miedo's direction as I looked down at Suiren's body and shook my head, creating another corpse king would take a year at most and I would have to waste resources too, it would be better to put those resources to increasing my strength rather than getting another subordinate, I would have minded if the fool gave me his allegiance but since he was stubborn only death could follow him. (...)

Yun Jhin picked up Suiren's body as he could devour it, even though he wouldn't be able to break through to the 2nd stage with his main body it could help him cultivate Sun Sishgeng's body into a true living undead.

As a living undead he could cultivate and think for himself, well he couldn't truly do it anymore as Yun Jhin controlled his body but hypothetically speaking if Sun Sisheng got his hands on the technique that could transform him into a living undead he could have thought for himself and still had his consciousness intact, he could devour others to quickly increase his cultivation base, his body would have been way sturdier he would have lived for a much longer time. The only downside would be that he couldn't procreate anymore, even as an undead he wouldn't have had the weakness that normal undead would have, that was the specialness of the yin constitution combined with the cultivation technique.

Yun Jhin got interested in the devil detonation technique he saw Miao Suiren use, it made him remember of the days he was dueling with the monarchs of the 9th hell, they would sometimes host wars between the lower hells and Yun Jhin would be there to spectate from time to time.

Only devil generals or above could impart such techniques to the devil slaves, but technically speaking this region was too backwater for the devil's attention to be garnered, there wasn't even a Ki Cultivating realm expert here which was the basic realm of the cultivation world, only from the Ki Cultivating realm and above you could be considered an 'expert' in the world.

Yun Jhin sighed as he devoured the body and then looked towards the direction of the sword devil sect, he would need to visit immediately!

Any devils he could find no matter how low level they would be, they would help him evolve into a devilish caterpillar, and that's was what he needed the most, that or either the fortuned or heavenly caterpillar transformations but it was very unlikely to achieve the other two, it was easy to sin but hard to become pure.

Yun Jhin told Miedo to keep the things under warps and announce how he captured one of the patriarch's killed the sect masters and annihilated the other patriarch, the other sects needed to know that now they were under the leadership of Yun Jhin's iron fist!

He would quickly go towards the sword devil sect to appoint a new patriarch no matter the cultivation he had and also investigate the devil presence there.
