Chapter 75: Fifth Sister really is a freak!
Upon hearing this, the great hall fell into dead silence. The nine souls all wore expressions of fear, then they looked at each other, none of them spoke.
Qi Huang was stunned, feeling extremely anxious. Just as she was thinking about how to salvage the situation, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
“What is it you want to say that you don’t want her to hear?”
This voice came with a hint of caution.
Qi Huang’s face showed surprise. She looked around, completely clueless as to who was speaking to her.
“I am the human soul. I am communicating with you telepathically! You understand telepathy. You just need to focus your spiritual sense on the character above my glabella, and we can communicate like this so the life soul can’t hear.”
The voice continued.
Qi Huang looked at the human soul and saw it wink at her.
“I didn’t expect to be able to communicate telepathically with you!” Qi Huang replied excitedly.
“It’s not with me, it’s with all the sisters here. After all, we are one person. If you establish telepathic communication with the life soul, it’s the same for us.” The human soul transmitted.
“That’s good! That’s good!” Qi Huang’s face showed a look of relief. If she couldn’t escape Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes even within the Sea of Consciousness, then all her efforts would be in vain.
At this moment, another graceful figure suddenly appeared in the great hall. Qi Huang looked closely and found that it was another soul that looked exactly like Cheng Hong Ling, but with the characters “Life Soul” displayed above its glabella.
The moment the “Life Soul” appeared, the other nine souls scattered like mice encountering a cat.
‘Life Soul? Then she should be Cheng Hong Ling’s main consciousness, simply put, Cheng Hong Ling.’
Qi Huang reacted quickly, feeling incredibly novel. She never expected a person’s main consciousness to be able to enter her own Sea of Consciousness. The Path of Cultivation is truly miraculous.
“How is the experiment going?” Cheng Hong Ling walked over and asked.
“I haven’t started yet!” Qi Huang quickly replied.
“Then hurry up. Cultivation is a matter of racing against time. Who has time to waste with you?” Cheng Hong Ling’s pretty face turned cold.
“Coming, coming!” Qi Huang nodded like a pecking chick. Then she began to release her spiritual sense, exploring various parts of the great hall, hoping to find an exit directly leading to the outside.
Of course, Qi Huang did not forget her true purpose. While searching, she telepathically communicated with the human soul, “I should call you Third Sister, right? I want to inquire about something!”
“You speak first,” the human soul replied cautiously.
“I want to know the method of cultivating an external incarnation. I don’t know if Third Sister is aware of it. You also know that my memory is incomplete,” Qi Huang transmitted.
“Why are you asking this? You are a clone, you don’t have plans to cultivate an external incarnation, do you?” the human soul asked in surprise.
“It’s nothing, I’m just curious. I hope Third Sister can enlighten me,” Qi Huang casually brushed it off.
“Of course, I know the method for cultivating an external incarnation. Not only that, but I know everything about the life soul. You should know that our memories are shared,” the human soul said with a hint of pride in its tone.
“Precisely because of this, I have come to ask Third Sister for guidance,” Qi Huang quickly explained.
“I do know, but why should I tell you? Fifth Sister!” the human soul asked without changing its expression.
“Because only I can open the Heart Door! Don’t you want to get out?” Qi Huang revealed her leverage.
The human soul fell silent. Thinking about how “Fifth Sister” had helped them open the Heart Door before, and her warm demeanor, she no longer hesitated. “Alright, I can tell you, but you must help us open the Heart Door.”
“Opening the Heart Door is certainly no problem, but whether you can escape depends on yourselves,” Qi Huang promised very sincerely.
“Don’t worry, you don’t need to concern yourself with that. Just open the Heart Door,” the human soul immediately assured.
Thus, a soul and a spirit reached an agreement, and the human soul told Qi Huang the method for cultivating an external incarnation.
“To cultivate an external incarnation, it mainly depends on whether the spiritual sense has reached the Incarnation Realm. There are no strict requirements for the strength of the physical body,” the human soul began to explain slowly. “The cultivation of an external incarnation is mainly divided into two steps. The first step is to release a soul from the Sea of Consciousness; the second step is to split flesh and blood to form it. This process is like making a weapon. First, you need a mold, then you pour molten iron into it. After cooling, the weapon will take shape.”
“But how can I enter my own Sea of Consciousness?” Qi Huang anxiously asked. this was the question she had always wanted to figure out.
“It’s very simple, introspection!” the human soul said concisely.
“Introspection? Impossible! Introspection can only see one’s own internal organs and soul. It cannot see the Sea of Consciousness at all,” Qi Huang said reflexively. She had already mastered introspection, a basic skill for cultivators.
“That’s because you are in a state of spirit-flesh union. If you are in a pure soul state and then introspect, you will discover a vortex at the Baihui acupoint above your head. As long as your spiritual sense enters through there, you can see your Sea of Consciousness. And in the Cultivation World, the ‘Incarnation Art’ can allow you to temporarily separate spirit from flesh.” the human soul further explained.
“Really?” Qi Huang was both surprised and delighted. Because she was in a pure soul state at the moment, she quickly began to introspect. She discovered that there was indeed a vortex at the Baihui acupoint above her head. She immediately extended her spiritual sense into it. Then, her ‘vision’ suddenly became clear, and a vast ocean appeared before her eyes.
‘This should be my Sea of Consciousness.’ Qi Huang was extremely excited. She swept her spiritual sense across the ocean and found a palace in the middle.
Qi Huang ‘held her breath’, and her spiritual sense continued to scan towards the palace. Then she discovered her three souls and seven spirits inside.
“Do you want to know the specifics of the Incarnation Art?” The human soul’s telepathic message interrupted Qi Huang’s exploration.
“No…” Qi Huang replied reflexively, because she felt that she could directly see her Sea of Consciousness from here, so why would she need to cultivate some damn Incarnation Art? But then she thought it was not right. If she cultivated a clone here, she would be discovered by the main body 100%. After much thought, she still needed to go to the outside world.
“Of course, I want to know. Please, Third Sister, tell me.” Qi Huang quickly changed her words.
The human soul did not delay and soon told Qi Huang the content of the “Incarnation Art.” The first half of this technique was about spirit-flesh separation, and the latter half was about how to split a physical body for the clone. The process was extremely detailed, and it was said to be something Cheng Hong Ling had spent a lot of effort to obtain.
“Alright, I’ve told you everything now. When do you plan to help us open the Heart Door?” the human soul asked impatiently.
“The Life Soul is here now. We’ll have to find another opportunity,” Qi Huang replied.
The human soul seemed hesitant to speak, but eventually did not force the issue.
“How is it going?” At this moment, Cheng Hong Ling’s questioning voice came from the side.
Qi Huang came back to her senses and quickly said, “This great hall seems to obstruct my spiritual sense. If I forcefully break through, I’m afraid I’ll hurt you.”
“What hurt me? It’s ‘us’!” Cheng Hong Ling immediately corrected her. She did not want to admit that she was weaker than the clone, in any aspect.
“Yes, yes, it’s ‘us’,” Qi Huang quickly changed her words.
“Do you see the window on the eastern wall?” Cheng Hong Ling pondered for a moment and gestured towards the east.
Qi Huang looked towards the east doubtfully and saw an inconspicuous window on the wall. She asked doubtfully, “What about that window?”
“That is the window of the mind, or ‘heart window’ for short. Release your spiritual sense through it and see!” Cheng Hong Ling suggested.
Qi Huang walked over curiously and found that the window was very large, almost as tall as a person. Although the window was closed at the moment, because it was made of glass, the light from the outside could shine in.
Qi Huang leaned in and looked out. To her surprise, she saw Cheng Hong Ling’s boudoir. She could see the outside world through this heart window.
Qi Huang was amazed. Then she released her spiritual sense to probe the window. She found that the glass offered very little resistance, almost negligible.
Qi Huang was overjoyed, so she let loose and penetrated her spiritual sense through the window. She easily lifted a stool in Cheng Hong Ling’s boudoir.
“It seems my guess was correct,” Cheng Hong Ling’s voice came from the side.
“Yes, with this, we won’t have to fear being exposed anymore,” Qi Huang was also very happy.
“Does Fifth Sister’s spiritual sense affect the real world?”
“This is impossible! Why can’t we?”
“Who knows? She also opened the Heart Door not long ago, and we can’t do that either.”
“This Fifth Sister really is a freak!”
…
The other nine sisters whispered in a corner.
“Alright! Since the experiment was successful, let’s go,” Cheng Hong Ling instructed. Then, the soul bond wrapped around Qi Huang, and the two instantly disappeared from the great hall.
“Remember what you promised me!” The human soul’s reminder echoed in her mind at the same time.
“Of course, I remember, but who knows when I’ll fulfill it?” Qi Huang thought cunningly.
…
Returning to the real world, Qi Huang was incredibly excited. Now that she knew the method for cultivating an external incarnation, she had to act immediately, or it would be too late.
