Chapter 75: My name is Cheng Hong Ling, I absolutely cannot fail.
Qi Huang heard this, even though her fear had been stripped away by the Spiritual Wisdom, her scalp still tingled: “Did she really do that later? If so, wouldn’t that feminization mask contain such red marks? What would happen to me?”
Because Qi Huang didn’t know the specific nature of the red marks, her heart became uneasy.
The father and daughter chatted a few more times, and Cheng Yuan left the room.
Cheng Hong Ling sat on the stool and began to earnestly review the “Incarnation Art.” After a moment, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she muttered to herself: “If I can cultivate a clone and let her stay in the HongHua Sect for me, then even if I leave temporarily, there shouldn’t be any major problems. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s emotions became excited, and she began to study carefully, but her delicate eyebrows soon furrowed tighter: “But this ‘Incarnation Art’ requires the Huashen Realm to cultivate. I am only in the Guiyi Realm now, how can I cultivate a clone?”
Cheng Hong Ling took a deep breath and continued reading, hoping to find a way.
“Because cultivating the ‘Incarnation Art’ requires a powerful soul as a guarantee, it requires the cultivator to reach the Huashen Realm. But I have been strengthening my Spiritual Sense since childhood, and my current Spiritual Sense strength already exceeds that of ordinary Guiyi Realm cultivators. Perhaps I can try!”
Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes shone, and she continued to flip through the pages.
After a moment longer, Cheng Hong Ling’s expression quickly turned sour again. She read aloud the passage that made her despair: “If anyone whose cultivation has not reached the Huashen Realm attempts to cultivate it without authorization, their soul will not be able to withstand the splitting of their soul, which will inevitably lead to the disintegration of their Life Soul and a premature death!”
“What should I do?”
Cheng Hong Ling stood up and began to pace back and forth.
At this time, a conversation could be heard from her parents’ room next door.
Cheng Hong Ling curiously probed with her Spiritual Sense. Because it was daytime, she was not afraid of seeing anything she shouldn’t, as her parents were both people who valued etiquette.
As a reunion after a short separation, Cheng Yuan had just shared an intimate moment with his wife, holding her hand, and then eagerly asked: “Wife, how is the red mark on your face?”
“It’s getting fainter!”
Jiang Liniang said this and lifted her veil, revealing the bloody red mark.
“So red! How come it looks even worse than before?”
Cheng Yuan was startled.
“Don’t worry! Husband, I intentionally used foundation to deepen its color.”
Jiang Liniang comforted him, then took out a handkerchief and quickly wiped away the foundation.
Cheng Yuan observed carefully and found that the color had indeed lightened significantly. He then breathed a deep sigh of relief, but immediately asked with confusion: “Wife, why did you deepen the color? Isn’t it better for this red mark to disappear?”
“Better? I don’t think so!”
Jiang Liniang shook her head.
“What do you mean?”
Cheng Yuan asked, puzzled.
“Do you know why I was sent to a wealthy family as a child bride? It wasn’t because my parents were greedy, but because they couldn’t protect me. Since I was six years old, people kept trying to snatch me, which eventually led to my father losing an eye. The situation was exactly the same as Hong Ling’s childhood, but unfortunately, our family’s conditions back then were far inferior to the Cheng Residence now.”
Jiang Liniang did not answer directly but instead spoke of her past.
“So that’s how Father lost that eye!”
Cheng Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately reacted: “You’re afraid that if the red mark disappears, it will attract the covetousness of bad people and implicate us?”
“Yes! I really don’t want to lose my current life. I am already very satisfied to marry you, and we have such an excellent daughter.”
Jiang Liniang did not deny it.
‘So that’s how it is!’
Qi Huang suddenly understood. She had been wondering why her cheap mother’s behavior was so abnormal; it turned out she didn’t want her beauty to attract trouble.
“Wife! Don’t worry! I will protect you! And didn’t you say it yourself? Our daughter is so excellent, what bad person would dare to have designs on you?”
Cheng Yuan comforted her.
“Husband, I know you’ve done your best for this family. And our daughter Ling… also carries the fate of the entire HongHua Sect. Plus, with the matter of the Golden Life Flower seeds, she’s already overwhelmed. I can’t add more trouble to you.”
Jiang Liniang said, quite understandingly.
“Wife, it’s my fault for making you suffer.”
Cheng Yuan felt ashamed and held his wife’s jade hand tightly.
“Suffer? Marrying an ugly woman like me, it’s you who suffers! I’m really satisfied with everything I have now.”
Jiang Liniang reiterated, but her tone shifted at the next moment: “My only worry now is whether this red mark will be passed on to our daughter. That child is naturally proud and definitely won’t be able to accept this. What shall I do when that time comes?”
Hearing this, Cheng Hong Ling, on this side of the room, slowly clenched her delicate fists.
“For myself, for the HongHua Sect, and even more for my mother, it seems I have to risk everything this time.”
Half a day later, Cheng Hong Ling said with a resolute tone.
The fourth dreamscape thus concluded. Qi Huang entered the fifth dreamscape. This time, the location was a strange stone room. A heavy stone door isolated all noise from the outside, and the surroundings were quiet.
Qi Huang looked around. Although she had never been to this stone room, she could tell from the familiar layout that this was a cultivation room in the HongHua Sect.
At this moment, Cheng Hong Ling was holding the “Incarnation Art.” After browsing through it several times, she put it down, took a deep breath, and muttered to herself: “This time, success… No… Whether I live or die, it’s up to fate!”
Cheng Hong Ling concentrated and prepared to cultivate a clone.
Qi Huang also unconsciously held her breath. Although she already knew the outcome, she still held a sliver of hope. Perhaps the red mark had not left with the feminization mask?
“No! How can I think like this? If the red mark didn’t leave, it’s the main body that would suffer. If that’s the case, it’s better for me to bear it! At least I think like a man and wouldn’t care so much about appearance!”
After a moment, Qi Huang suddenly had a realization, and her perspective shifted by 180 degrees. She hoped that the red mark would be successfully split from the main body.
Of course, Qi Huang also had a more wonderful thought: that the red mark was not split out but healed on its own later on the main body. This way, she wouldn’t have to bear any karma, which would be a win-win situation.
“No, the path of cultivation is to defy the heavens. How can I leave it to fate? My life and death can only be decided by myself!”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly opened her eyes, sharp gazes shooting out.
Next, Cheng Hong Ling began to cultivate the “Incarnation Art.” The process was similar to that of Qi Huang, but it required twice the effort. After all, her current cultivation was only in the Guiyi Realm.
‘Cultivating a clone in the Guiyi Realm, have there been such people before? If so, what are they like now?’
This thought flashed through Qi Huang’s mind, but she quickly found the answer. If there were such geniuses in the Cultivation World, they would not be unknown. Thus, it could be seen that those who did this would certainly not have a good outcome.
As time passed, Cheng Hong Ling’s delicate body began to tremble. She realized that she might have overestimated herself. From opening her Sea of Consciousness to maintaining introspection, she had to put in 100% of her effort for every step. If she continued to consume energy like this, she would definitely fail.
“No, I am Cheng Hong Ling, I absolutely cannot fail!”
Cheng Hong Ling gritted her teeth and continued to persevere. When she even used her Soul Bond to pull the Spiritual Wisdom to reality, her Spiritual Sense had been consumed by eighty to ninety percent. Coupled with the severe headache from soul splitting, waves of dizziness relentlessly pounded her consciousness.
“Just… just… the flesh… the flesh is left, I absolutely… cannot let down everyone who cares about me!”
Cheng Hong Ling shivered, encouraging herself. At this moment, her face was pale, her lips were white, and her delicate body was wobbly.
Affected by the main body, the Spiritual Wisdom that had just emerged also covered its head in pain, unable to utter a single word.
Qi Huang was seeing a memory, not a dream, so she experienced this pain no less.
“Help! My head is about to split open!”
Qi Huang cried out silently. This pain was the same as what she had suffered before she fainted. Because she had no body, she couldn’t even vent her frustration. That boundless torment was like being in the eighteenth level of hell, with no glimmer of hope in sight. Compared to that, she would rather die immediately.
Cheng Hong Ling bit her cherry-red lips with all her might, using the pain to keep her head somewhat clear. Then she continued to shape a physical body for the Spiritual Wisdom. Because she didn’t know how long she could last, she first split the skin of her face.
Cheng Hong Ling’s eyelids began to droop, but she still bit her cherry-red lips as hard as she could to stimulate herself, causing blood to drip from her chin. However, even so, after she split out the entire facial skin, her consciousness was instantly engulfed by dizziness, and her delicate body softly collapsed onto the ground.
Chapter 266: Be prepared to be a woman.
As the main body fainted, Qi Huang’s consciousness also gradually blurred. Because of the feminization mask, she was always very wary of “fainting,” but this time she was somewhat eager, as it was equivalent to liberation.
“If the dream continues, when I regain consciousness next time, it should be from the perspective of the Spiritual Wisdom! I wonder what happened to her later, and how she left the HongHua Sect!”
As Qi Huang lost consciousness, a trace of curiosity was faintly born in her heart.
…
Although Qi Huang had one “dream” after another while unconscious, only a moment had passed in reality.
“Ling’er, is your sister alright?”
Cheng Yuan asked anxiously after regaining his freedom.
“She’s fine. She just suffered a backlash from overexerting her Spiritual Sense. She’ll recover after resting for a while.”
Cheng Hong Ling replied after checking the clone’s condition. At this moment, her face was extremely pale, partly because her True Qi was exhausted and she was overexerted, and partly because she had a telepathic connection with the clone, so she also had to endure the pain from the overexertion of her Spiritual Sense, although the symptoms were slightly milder.
“If that’s the case, then quickly go save your mother!”
Cheng Yuan then pleaded.
“My mother? What happened to my mother?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked anxiously.
Cheng Yuan then briefly recounted what had happened earlier, adding: “Although the person warned his subordinates not to act rashly when they left, these are a group of unsavory characters, and no one can guarantee their character.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression became even paler. She immediately retracted the clone into her Sea of Consciousness and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Cheng Hong Ling’s True Qi was exhausted, yet she could move so fast. The reason was simple: she could still utilize her Spiritual Sense, coupled with her own astonishing physical fitness. The two complemented each other, and she could still exert considerable combat power. This was why she still had the confidence to save her mother.
…
Qi Huang lay in the main body’s Sea of Consciousness, while her own Sea of Consciousness was in chaos.
Although the battle had ended, the Spiritual Wisdom had no intention of stopping the feminization. She held the spirit soul’s significantly enlarged chest tightly with her right hand, faintly seeing a trace of faint dark red gas converging from all directions, spreading in her fair palm.
The spirit soul watched helplessly as its chest grew larger and larger, its fair skin slowly spreading upwards and downwards.
“What is this dark red stuff? Could it be… could it be the power of feminization?”
“Since she can perform feminization in the Sea of Consciousness, why didn’t she directly feminize us when she subdued us before?”
The Earth Soul and Human Soul nearby muttered to themselves.
The Spiritual Wisdom naturally wouldn’t kindly answer and continued to focus on her feminization plan.
The spirit soul finally couldn’t bear it any longer and loudly questioned: “The battle is over now, let go of me quickly!”
The Spiritual Wisdom remained unmoved. Having finally found such an opportunity, how could she easily give up?
“What are you doing? Get away from me!”
The spirit soul reached out to push the Spiritual Wisdom away.
“Have you heard the saying, ‘It’s easier to invite a god than to send one away!'”
The Spiritual Wisdom smiled charmingly, her unscrupulous demeanor not like that of an Immortal, but rather like a demoness.
“You actually went back on your word?”
The spirit soul struggled desperately. It was still the same words: becoming a woman was not scary, but if it led to a change in sexual orientation and liking men, then any normal person could not accept it, unless they already had a tendency towards it.
“What are you doing? Let go of him quickly, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“This is outrageous! You are, after all, a clone of Fairy Hong Ling, how can you be so insidious and cunning?”
The Earth Soul and Human Soul on the side finally reacted and stepped forward to help.
“Sisters, stop them for me!”
The Spiritual Wisdom called out, and the six female spirit souls she had feminized swarmed forward, clinging to the Earth Soul and Human Soul like sticky candy.
“Staying with a few sloppy men all day, smelling bad and ugly, the entire palace is filled with disgusting air. Today, I will make all of you into fragrant girls, hee hee…”
A manic smile appeared on the Spiritual Wisdom’s pretty face.
The spirit soul struggled desperately, but the woman in front of him had devoured the Spiritual Wisdom of the main body and was already incredibly strong. Coupled with the decrease in her strength after feminization, the gap was simply too much to overcome.
Moreover, the Earth Soul and Human Soul were outnumbered. Facing six spirit souls, they also couldn’t break free in a short time.
Seeing that his spirit body had been feminized up to his navel, the spirit soul was truly terrified to the extreme.
“Damn it, below the navel is where human desires are located, and it also determines whether one’s sexual orientation is male or female. If it is feminized by her, then I will like men in the future. I absolutely cannot let this happen.”
The spirit soul gritted his teeth fiercely. A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he stopped struggling with brute force. Instead, he raised both hands and insidiously pressed them towards the Spiritual Wisdom’s equally plump chest.
The Spiritual Wisdom had not expected the other party to be so vulgar. She was instantly caught, and her whole body jolted as if struck by electricity. She hastily broke free and covered her chest.
The spirit soul also nervously checked his body, his expression becoming more and more solemn. He found that more than one-third of his body had been feminized. Centered around his chest, the upper part had been feminized up to his chin, the lower part down to his navel, and even his hands were completely feminized.
The Spiritual Wisdom recovered for a moment, then angrily cursed: “Shameless scoundrel!”
“We’re all the same!”
The spirit soul sneered. He was not a person who would resort to any means, but if the other party had no bottom line, then there was no need for him to be merciful.
“But what of it? A large part of your body has already been feminized by me, and your strength is not what it used to be. In the future, the three of you will not be able to stop me.”
The Spiritual Wisdom regained her composure and smiled triumphantly. The reason she had been unable to leave the Heart Door before was that the three male souls had benefited from Qi Huang’s promotion and could easily fight against two. Therefore, the two sides had been in a stalemate. Now, with the weakening of this spirit soul, the balance had been completely broken.
“So that’s how it is! You’ve had malicious intentions for a long time. I actually didn’t see it before.”
The spirit soul suddenly realized that the other party’s offer of help was fake; the truth was that she intended to weaken their strength.
“Don’t be upset. Even if you understood from the beginning, what of it? Do you have any other solutions? Being a woman is better than dying, right?”
The Spiritual Wisdom teased.
“I’m sorry, being a woman is indeed better than dying, but if I have to like men, I’d rather die.”
The spirit soul stated his attitude.
“That’s because you are still a man now. Once your body and mind completely become a woman, you won’t think that way anymore.”
The Spiritual Wisdom attempted to brainwash him.
“Don’t even think about it. You won’t have such an opportunity again in the future.”
The spirit soul said firmly.
“Sorry, you won’t need to give me opportunities in the future. That impostor is now unconscious. As long as I become the Life Soul, it will only take half a month or so to assimilate you all!”
The Spiritual Wisdom showed a triumphant look and then gracefully walked towards the Heart Door.
“With me here! You won’t succeed!”
The spirit soul fiercely rushed forward. At this moment, he had no time to consider pitying women.
“Overestimating yourself, what can you use to stop me now?”
The Spiritual Wisdom impatiently threw the spirit soul aside and then boosted morale: “Sisters, keep it up! As long as we completely control these three male souls, I can go out and expose that impostor! With the main body’s cooperation, my becoming the true Life Soul is just around the corner. By then, I will definitely cultivate you into clones as soon as possible!”
Under her big-picture enticement, the six female spirit souls erupted with unprecedented fighting power, quickly subduing the three male souls.
“Big Sister, since you can directly feminize now, you only need to assimilate these three male souls. Then you will naturally become the Life Soul of this body, so why do you still need to provoke the original main body?”
“Yes! The main body still holds nine sisters captive. I don’t want to become one of them.”
Two female spirit souls asked confusingly. They felt serving one “Big Sister” was difficult enough, so they naturally didn’t want to have another main body.
“My assimilation power is almost used up now, and I can only control the body from the outside to perform feminization. This process is very slow. I’m afraid that impostor will suddenly wake up, so the safest way is to go out and inform the main body first, which is also leaving myself a fallback.”
The Spiritual Wisdom explained her thoughts. She was afraid of being imprisoned. Seeing that she was about to turn the tables, she naturally had to make thorough preparations.
The sisters thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.
“You three, be mentally prepared to be women! Meeting me is the blessing of your lives! Otherwise, you will never escape the title of stinky men.”
The Spiritual Wisdom mocked them and then walked towards the Heart Door.
