Chapter 835: Someone is Ascending
Qi Huang did not hesitate and immediately began to assimilate Cheng Hongling. Of course, “assimilate” here only referred to the assimilation of the body, not the enslavement of the spiritual level. She had Mi Xian, so she couldn’t do anything so inhumane. Moreover, she didn’t want her wife to become a puppet.
Cheng Hongling’s assimilation was completed quickly. From this moment on, she completely broke free from the Five Elements Heavenly Dao and became a part of the Assimilation Heavenly Dao. This also meant that she could use the assimilation power. However, there were preconditions: first, she had to know how to use it, and second, she must have assimilation True Qi in her body.
Qi Huang then passed on the usage techniques of assimilation power to her wife. Now, all that was missing was the assimilation power. Because the assimilation True Qi in her own body was very thin, it was naturally impossible to directly transfer it. She had to go out to seek replenishment. However, before leaving Lishui Star, she still had many things to do.
Qi Huang first returned to Ping’an County Town, took many supplies and longevity pills for Huang Tian, and bid him farewell.
“Brother, when will you be back?”
Huang Tian’s pupils trembled, and his eyes turned red.
“Don’t be so sentimental. I’m just going out to find something, not going and never coming back. It will take at most a few months, and at longest a few years. I will definitely come back to see you.”
Qi Huang promised.
“Alright, then you must be careful on your way.”
Huang Tian urged reluctantly.
“Thank you. When I’m not here, I’ll entrust the family to you. Give those pills to Grandfather and Parents on time. It won’t be a problem for them to live to over a hundred years old.”
Qi Huang instructed.
“Okay.”
Huang Tian accepted the order.
“Oh, and I’ll leave a female clone in Lishui Star to guard it. She will return to check on you from time to time on my behalf, and also to deal with family matters, so you don’t have to worry.”
Qi Huang continued to comfort him, thinking very thoughtfully.
After that, Qi Huang returned to HongHua Sect and released her central soul.
“Huang Shu, after I leave, I’ll entrust Lishui Star to you. With your peak Heavenly Punishment Realm spiritual sense strength, it should be fine, right?”
Qi Huang tested.
“Don’t worry, Big Sister! It’s all yours!”
Huang Shu replied confidently.
“Don’t be careless. Your spiritual sense still cannot cover the entire Lishui Star. If someone is secretly causing trouble, it will be difficult for you to discover it immediately. Over time, those outside will naturally figure out your background.”
Qi Huang reminded her very rationally.
“Ah? Then what should I do?”
Huang Shu also reacted and asked helplessly, as she had already turned into a pure girl.
“How about this? I’ll leave quietly, and you can impersonate me to guard the Dao Alliance from now on. This way, those ill-intentioned people will not dare to show their faces easily.”
Qi Huang suggested after some thought.
“Me? Can I do it?”
Huang Shu was a little unconfident.
“You are my clone, how can you not do it?”
Qi Huang encouraged her.
“Okay, Big Sister, I promise to complete the mission!”
Huang Shu gritted her teeth and accepted the order.
“Also, after I leave, you should go back to Ping’an County Town from time to time as the daughter-in-law of the Huang family to check on your family members. This will reassure them. Act well with Huang Tian, and absolutely do not expose yourself, understand?”
Qi Huang continued to instruct.
“Understood.”
Huang Shu nodded obediently.
Meanwhile, Cheng Hongling had also made her arrangements.
The “couple” then bid farewell to Cheng Yuan and Jiang Liniang. Since they promised to be away for only half a year, the elders did not dissuade them too much, only asking them to be careful.
Next, Qi Huang put her wife into the storage ring and then left Lishui Star.
Yin Star, this is where most of the ghost tomatoes in her hand were grown. It was equivalent to her granary, so she naturally couldn’t be careless.
Qi Huang first briefed Huang Ying and warned the Evil spirits of various countries before leading Cheng Hongling towards the depths of the starry sky.
“I want to ask, do you have a destination?”
Cheng Hongling asked from inside the storage ring. Since she couldn’t keep up with Qi Huang’s speed, she could only stay inside the storage ring.
Qi Huang looked around and then pointed in a direction. “Let’s go in that direction.”
“Reason? Don’t tell me you’re just pointing randomly.”
Cheng Hongling asked uneasily.
“Don’t you see, Wife? The starry river in that direction is the brightest, which means there are the most stars. Flying in that direction naturally means the greatest opportunity.”
Qi Huang stated her reason.
“Smart, then let’s fly in that direction.”
Cheng Hongling praised.
Qi Huang immediately became energetic and flew rapidly in that direction. However, after flying for less than an hour, she became dejected for a simple reason. Although her speed had increased more than tenfold compared to before, flying in the starry sky still felt a bit underpowered. After all, the distance between each star was too great, especially those of the stars.
Qi Huang thought about it and couldn’t come up with a solution, so she let Cheng Hongling out.
“What’s wrong?”
Cheng Hongling asked confusedly.
“I still overestimated myself. This vast universe is too vast, and it’s no less than the Immortal Realm. To fly from one star to another, at my current speed, I’m afraid it would take an eternity, not to mention flying from one galaxy to another.”
Qi Huang complained helplessly.
“This means we can only search for ghost tomatoes or assimilation power within this star system?”
Cheng Hongling frowned. She also realized the difficulty of the situation.
“Yes, but the question is, how many planets are there in our star system? Not to mention assimilation power, I’m afraid we won’t even find ghost tomatoes.”
Qi Huang said somewhat dejectedly.
Cheng Hongling pondered for a long time but had no good solution, so she asked, “Why don’t we go back and develop for a while before coming out again? How strong do you think your cultivation needs to be to fly from one star to another?”
Qi Huang recalled Lu Yao’s flying speed in the Immortal Realm and then measured her current strength. Then, without changing her expression, she said, “If the star density in the Cultivation World is similar to that in the Immortal Realm, it might require a Heavenly Immortal, which is equivalent to Lu Yao’s strength before her death, and it would take several years to fly.”
“Are you kidding me? So it’s impossible? Then what are we doing out here?”
Cheng Hongling was amused to the point of anger.
“Wife, I’ve never traveled far before. I thought the area of the Cultivation World wasn’t that exaggerated.”
Qi Huang complained mournfully.
Cheng Hongling did not complain anymore. She calmly thought for a moment and said, “There is still one way left. You can directly shatter the spatial barrier and we can go to the Immortal Realm to try our luck. Didn’t you say there are teleportation arrays in the Immortal Realm? It would be much more convenient for us to travel there than in the Cultivation World.”
“No, I never fight battles I’m not sure of. With our current strength, going to the Immortal Realm, we might be stepped on like ants on the side of the road and killed.”
Qi Huang immediately refused. She was not out of options now, so she didn’t need to take such a great risk.
“Then I have no choice. Let’s go back and develop slowly. You can come out again when you reach Heavenly Immortal.”
Cheng Hongling said with her arms crossed.
Qi Huang stood there and pondered for a long time, then said, “That’s fine. Since we’ve come out, let’s search this star system first. Maybe we’ll get lucky and encounter an opportunity?”
“So be it!”
Cheng Hongling sighed and went into the storage ring.
Qi Huang then began to fly around randomly. Every time she passed a planet or even a comet, she would stop and observe carefully, hoping to gain something.
Qi Huang roamed the universe like this for a full month, but let alone ghost tomatoes, she didn’t even see a single blade of grass.
The hope in Qi Huang’s heart began to extinguish. However, at this moment, her spiritual sense suddenly scanned the spatial barrier a few dozen miles ahead, which was actually shaking continuously, as if something was about to “break out of the ground.”
What is this thing?
Qi Huang was dumbfounded. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Qi Huang let Cheng Hongling out and signaled to her.
What’s going on?
Cheng Hongling also showed a look of doubt on her face. She had always been fearless, so she flew over directly.
Qi Huang couldn’t stop her, so she could only follow closely to protect her.
The couple soon arrived nearby and saw that the space in front of them began to deform, and fine cracks began to spread in all directions.
Damn it! Could it be that a celestial being has descended? Run quickly!
Qi Huang was so scared that her face turned pale.
What nonsense are you talking about? How can a celestial being shatter space in the opposite direction to come to the Cultivation World?
Cheng Hongling immediately rebuked, and then added: Besides, why are you running? Have you done too many guilty things?
Uh… it’s just a reflex.
Qi Huang said with a silly smile.
Cheng Hongling touched her smooth chin and speculated, “It doesn’t look like a celestial being descending. Instead, it looks like someone from a lower-level world shattering space to come to our Cultivation World.”
“Ah? You mean someone from the lower realm is ascending?”
Qi Huang said in surprise.
“Yes, just like Lu Yao ascended from a low-level world with thin spiritual energy to the Cultivation World back then.”
Cheng Hongling explained further.
If this is really the case…
Qi Huang showed a thoughtful expression, and then her heart leaped with joy, thinking that heaven really does not cut off paths for people.
