Blackening? If I wanted to blacken, I’d have plenty of methods, why bother wasting a bottle of Heaven-Concealing Water to exchange for something.
Cheng Hongling explained coldly.
That’s true.
Zhen Feiyan nodded thoughtfully, then continued to speculate on her own: “If it’s not blackening, then you want to leave a way out for yourself or your relatives and friends? Have you offended any powerful enemies? With such a clone, it’s hard to imagine anyone who could threaten your life safety.
Are you going to exchange or not?
Cheng Hongling became a little impatient.
I won’t exchange, but I can give it to you.
Zhen Feiyan extended her jade-like hand, and her middle finger was directly severed. She continued: “I’ll give you this severed finger. You just need to make it emit Yin energy and break through the skin outside.”
No need to give it, I don’t like owing favors to others casually. You keep the Heaven-Concealing Water.
Cheng Hongling picked up the severed finger and got up to leave, leaving the Heaven-Concealing Water on the stone table.
Zhen Feiyan smiled helplessly. She really wanted to do a favor, but the other party didn’t fall for it.
A few days later, the fully prepared Shuiyu Valley finally reopened. As the so-called guest Grand Elder, Qi Huang was naturally invited to the stage to deliver a speech.
Qi Huang looked at the seven to eight hundred beautiful women below. If it were in the past, she would definitely be flustered, but now she subconsciously regarded these women as her sisters, so her speech was unexpectedly well-organized, drawing adoration from the one thousand women below.
When the high-level figures of HongHua Sect learned of this matter, everyone felt a sense of crisis.
Cheng Hongling initially wanted to refuse, but under the strong persuasion of her relatives and friends, she agreed. It wasn’t that she was vain, but that she couldn’t protect herself now and didn’t have the energy to deal with these trivial matters.
After that, Cheng Hongling also tried to save her clone, but as the assimilation deepened, Qi Huang became more and more like a woman, and she became immune to her beauty, so she never succeeded.
One day, Ai Xing’er finally arrived at HongHua Sect, then bought a residency permit like an ordinary person and settled down, and then began to observe Cheng Hongling and Qi Huang with her Yin-Yang Eyes.
The first thing Ai Xing’er needed to do was to confirm whether what she saw at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar was true, and then to get to the bottom of it.
As soon as Ai Xing’er entered the house, she used her Yin-Yang Eyes to search the entire HongHua Sect. Soon, she learned the address of the Cheng family from some disciples, and then followed the clues to Cheng Hongling and Qi Huang.
Ai Xing’er couldn’t wait to observe Cheng Hongling. The facts proved that the Yin-Yang Eyes were indeed reliable. The situation in this girl’s Sea of Consciousness was exactly the same as what she saw at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar.
Ai Xing’er immediately perked up and then observed Qi Huang’s Sea of Consciousness and found that it was also exactly the same as what she had seen at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar.
How strange, how could there be such a strange cultivator in this world?
Ai Xing’er exclaimed in wonder and began to observe with great interest, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. At this moment, she was completely swayed by her curiosity, forgetting her mission, and only wanted to understand the truth of the matter.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling were naturally unaware of this. By chance, the East
Naturally unaware, the Yin-Yang Eyes are not like Spiritual Sense which can be “seen and touched,” so no matter how strong one’s cultivation is, they cannot guard against them.
One day, Qi Huang was summoned by the Spirit Soul again.
“My lower parts have completely disappeared.”
Huang Jing said with ashes on his face, looking at his lower body which had no gender characteristics.
“It’s fine, as long as it hasn’t turned into a沟壑, I will find a way to use the assimilation power as soon as possible.”
Qi Huang comforted her indifferently, not as agitated as before.
Hearing this, Huang Jing became more desperate. He understood that the longer the time dragged on, the more like a woman the main body’s personality would become, and it would be uncertain whether he would still be a man then.
“Assimilation power? What assimilation power?”
Ai Xing’er was confused.
Ai Xing’er observed day and night and soon had another discovery. Cheng Hongling’s true spiritual and intelligent soul was not Qi Huang, but the one she had imprisoned in her Sea of Consciousness.
“If Cheng Hongling’s spiritual and intelligent soul is not Qi Huang, then why can they get along like a main body and clone? And why did she imprison her spiritual and intelligent soul and let an outsider be her clone?”
Ai Xing’er’s mind was a mess, and she gradually realized that this matter was far more complicated than she had initially expected.
As time went by, Ai Xing’er discovered something even more magical. That Qi Huang seemed to be entangled by an assimilation power. Six of her Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls had completely become female, leaving only her Three Souls and Spirit Soul barely surviving. The Spirit Soul was also almost lost, so she was trying her best to save herself.
Does that prove that Qi Huang was a man before?
Ai Xing’er speculated. As her observation continued, her guess was confirmed. Qi Huang was indeed a man before, and the process of becoming a woman was simply incredible. She was feminized by a piece of Cheng Hongling’s skin because it carried the so-called “assimilation power.”
As for why Qi Huang was so strong, it was purely because she possessed a simple and crude method of becoming stronger, which was to use Ghost Tomatoes to strengthen her Spiritual Sense.
At this point, Ai Xing’er’s goal became clear: to figure out the origin and usage of that assimilation power. As for Qi Huang’s method of becoming stronger, she could only envy it because it was impossible to replicate.
For a full month, Ai Xing’er finally figured out that the assimilation power came from Lu Yao, so she rushed back to Juexian Cult to report the matter to the Cult Leader.
“Let me sort this out!”
The Juexian Cult Leader couldn’t digest so much information for a moment. After a long time, he began to confirm: “You mean that in a certain world, there was a powerful zombie named Lu Yao. In order to defy heaven, she tried every means to obtain the power of an External Heavenly Dao, which is the assimilation power that can turn men into women.”
“Yes, it’s just that I don’t know what happened later. This assimilation power was eventually passed on to Cheng Hongling. The manifestation of this was a blood tear appearing on her right cheek. For the sake of dignity, she tried to separate this blood tear with a clone. However, due to her insufficient strength, she only managed to separate a piece of skin.”
Ai Xing’er continued.
“I see. I said before that it was impossible for her to raise her cultivation by three levels in one year. So she forcefully cultivated a clone at the Guiyi Realm.”
The Juexian Cult Leader suddenly realized and then repeated what he had heard before: “And that clone, Cheng Ling, wanting to pursue absolute freedom, escaped from HongHua Sect with that piece of skin, but was picked up by a man named Huang Qi.”
“Yes, this Huang Qi wore the mask to deal with his family and pretended to be a woman. Unexpectedly, once he put it on, he couldn’t take it off, and his body and soul were gradually assimilated into a woman, thus becoming the current Qi Huang.”
Ai Xing’er confirmed.
“It sounds logical, there’s a cause and effect, and it all makes sense. It’s just that this matter is truly too unbelievable. If you hadn’t told me yourself, I would never have believed that such bizarre things could happen in this world.”
The Juexian Cult Leader exclaimed.
“Yes, even though the cultivation world is full of evil spirits and strange occurrences, I have never heard of anything that can cause a gender change, and it’s just a piece of skin.”
Ai Xing’er also agreed.
“So, are you sure that the assimilation power is currently on Qi Huang?”
The Juexian Cult Leader asked repeatedly and seriously.
“Yes, I can confirm this with 100% certainty. The blood tear on her face is the best proof.”
Ai Xing’er said very firmly.
“Haha, for the sake of the world’s living beings, our Juexian Cult has fought against the Immortal Sects for thousands of years, sacrificing countless wise ancestors. Who would have thought that today, this Cult Leader would find a shortcut? As long as we capture this Qi Huang, then anyone who wants to be a woman can be a woman, and the mortal world will no longer lack women.”
The Juexian Cult Leader burst into crazy laughter.
