Chapter 675: Rich, Again!
Ever since Qi Huang witnessed the power of the Heaven Slave, she felt a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, she didn’t want to waste any time and immediately told her main body her plan.
“You want to go to the Universe?”
Although Cheng Hong Ling was mentally prepared, she still confirmed it again and again.
“Yes, the resources on the Cult Continent are clearly no longer enough to satisfy my needs. I can only find another way. In the Universe, I can not only search for Ghost Tomatoes but, more importantly, obtain Heaven-Concealing Water to hide your aura. I don’t want to spend money to buy it from the Immortal Alliance Leader.” Qi Huang explained her reasons.
“Then you must be careful! The Universe may have cultivators from other stars. Anyone who can travel in space is definitely stronger than you, after all, you only have outstanding spiritual sense.” Cheng Hong Ling cautioned her carefully.
“Cultivators from other stars are just legends. No one has ever truly seen them. Besides, I don’t plan to go too far, just wander around near the Cult Continent.” Qi Huang said with a relaxed expression. Anyway, she didn’t believe there were cultivators from other stars in this world.
“Even so, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.” Cheng Hong Ling reminded her tirelessly. It was only when facing her clone that she would talk more.
Qi Huang pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, “If you’re worried, why don’t you come with me!”
“Can I go with you?” Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes revealed a look of longing. After all, everyone is curious, and the yearning for the starry sky is an innate instinct for everyone.
“Of course, you can. As long as you enter the storage ring, I can easily take you out of the Cult Continent.” Qi Huang revealed her plan.
When Lu Yao shattered the void, the cultivators intended to do this to mend the sky back then.
“Alright, I’ll go with you!” Cheng Hong Ling immediately agreed. Curiosity was secondary; the most important thing was not wanting Qi Huang to take risks alone, even though she understood that with her own strength, she couldn’t help much.
After making preparations, the two, the main body and the clone, bid farewell to their parents and embarked on their journey to the Universe.
Qi Huang had the main body enter the storage ring, then condensed her spiritual sense and soared into the sky. To leave the Cult Continent, one must reach an extremely high speed. This was the experience summarized by predecessors, so she didn’t dare to hold back at all.
“If you feel it’s strenuous, return quickly and we can talk about it later.” Cheng Hong Ling’s mind transmission sounded.
“Don’t worry, I won’t joke with my life.” Qi Huang reassured her, speeding up at the same time. With every breath, she could ascend more than ten miles. Her spiritual sense shield compressed the air in front of her, creating a piercing sonic boom, accompanied by distorted air spreading out.
As she ascended, the temperature around her dropped, and the air became thinner. However, for Qi Huang, whose cultivation level had reached the Huashen Realm, this was basically negligible.
Qi Huang felt somewhat fortunate that her main body had strengthened her body. Otherwise, even if she had the ability to enter the Universe, her frail body would probably not be able to adapt to the harsh environment.
It took only about half a quarter of an hour for Qi Huang to break through the Cultivation World’s atmosphere and enter the Universe she had longed for. Although it didn’t take long, she already felt a trace of fatigue.
“Fortunately, I waited until I reached Heavenly Punishment Realm Level 8 before taking action. If I had come at Heavenly Punishment Realm Level 7, I would probably be exhausted of spiritual sense by now.” Qi Huang thought with lingering fear, and at the same time, she understood why those cultivators who wanted to mend the sky were so cautious.
Qi Huang looked around. After confirming there was no danger, she released the main body.
“Is this the Universe and starry sky?” Cheng Hong Ling released her spiritual sense, trying hard to maintain her balance. Her beautiful eyes darted everywhere, filled with intense curiosity, just like a newborn baby.
Qi Huang appeared very calm. After all, in her “dreams,” Lu Yao often took her soaring through the starry sky. Because of these memories, she felt as if she had experienced it herself.
Thinking of “dreams”, Qi Huang spoke of a question that had been bothering her for a long time: “Have you ever thought that my Blood Tear was because of Cheng Ling, and she inherited it from you, and you inherited it from Mother. Why is it that neither you nor Mother have memories related to Lu Yao, but both Cheng Ling and I can see them?”
“Who knows?” Cheng Hong Ling pondered for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
“There must be some factor influencing this.” Qi Huang said thoughtfully.
“There are more than just these strange things. I remember you telling me something. That An Xuan said that only the spiritual sense of Assimilators who reach the Heavenly Being realm can perceive the assimilated True Qi within their bodies. But Cheng Ling has clearly not reached the Heavenly Being realm, so why can she use assimilated True Qi?” Cheng Hong Ling retorted.
“Yes, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost overlooked this point.” Qi Huang realized belatedly.
“Perhaps you can only find the truth by continuing to search in your dreams.” Cheng Hong Ling shook her head resignedly, then continued to admire the brilliant starry sky.
“If I were completely feminized in advance, whether I find out the truth or not wouldn’t matter.” Qi Huang thought self-deprecatingly.
“Don’t worry, even if I have to pay any price, I won’t let you completely become a woman.” Cheng Hong Ling’s calm voice sounded.
Qi Huang smiled upon hearing this, her heart filled with a sense of security.
“Although these stars are beautiful, they seem very far away. How will you find the Ghost Tomato? That thing doesn’t grow in the void.” Cheng Hong Ling, being extremely intelligent, quickly noticed something was wrong.
Qi Huang was stunned for a moment, then looked around, and found that even the nearest star was beyond the reach of her spiritual sense, and she had no idea how far away it was.
“It’s over!” Qi Huang suddenly thought of something and dejectedly patted her small head.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Hong Ling asked curiously.
“I was only thinking about imitating Lu Yao to find resources in the Universe, but I forgot about the gap in our strength. At my speed, it would take several months to fly to the nearest star.” Qi Huang said with a crestfallen face.
“Ah?” Cheng Hong Ling was speechless, then suddenly realized, “I seem to understand now why no cultivators from other stars have visited. If it takes several months for you to fly from one star to another with your strength, then even if there are cultivators on other stars, they wouldn’t be able to reach us.”
“Yes, to travel the vast distances of space, it seems you need to be at least at the Heavenly Being realm or above. And cultivators of this strength have long since ascended to the Immortal Realm.” Qi Huang said helplessly.
“Then what are your plans now?” Cheng Hong Ling inquired curiously.
“What can I do? Give up on finding the Ghost Tomato. There are still many troubles to resolve on the Cult Continent. I can’t stay in the Universe for too long.” Qi Huang shook her head helplessly, then comforted herself, “But fortunately, we can continue to look for Heaven-Concealing Water. As long as the Green Water Star gets close, we’ll intercept it midway and make the Immortal Alliance Leader eat dirt.”
“Okay!” Cheng Hong Ling also became more motivated.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling were lucky. After waiting for three days in the Universe, they spotted a green light flashing by nearby.
“Look, isn’t that the Green Water Star?” Cheng Hong Ling asked excitedly.
“It should be.” Qi Huang’s heart pounded violently. She put her main body into the storage ring and quickly followed.
The Green Water Star was flying very fast, even faster than legends. This also indirectly indicated that the flying speed of each Green Water Star varied.
“Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate!” Qi Huang cheered herself on while releasing all her spiritual sense to rush forward. Even so, it took her a full hour to catch up. Because there was no attraction like the Cult Continent in the Universe, she was able to persist for so long.
Qi Huang looked at the Green Water Star, which was getting closer and closer. A trace of abnormal redness appeared on her tired cheeks, and she shouted excitedly, “Rich! Rich! I’m rich again!”
“My heavens!” Cheng Hong Ling, inside the storage ring, also detected the Green Water Star with her spiritual sense and let out an unbelievable exclamation. The reason she was so agitated was that the Green Water Star brought immense surprise.
