On the way to level 9, you can skip the required "unite the shrines" and simply enter level 9 via out-of-bounds-ing your way through the L9 entrance.  However, if you do that, you're stuck.  Can't save+quit back to the overworld, and if you don't have any potions or any of the late-game equipment to better tackle level 9, then you've effectively hard-locked your save file.  Make backup saves! 

I mostly agree with everything Haylee & Ether have posted.  This is a superb quest and clearly a lot of love was put into it by the author.  Mad kudos.  With some minor polishing (better checkpoints, fixing the out-of-bounds issues, & a bit more nudging the player for how to get the flute), this could be a top-15 quest (IMO) in the DB.
