Chapter 881: What is the Immortal’s Name?
Cheng Hong Ling rapidly traversed the starry sky using a teleportation gate. She would stop at any planet with life to observe it carefully. Her current strength had reached the level of a Master-level Immortal, so it wasn’t difficult to retrieve all the information about a planet. As days passed, Cheng Hong Ling’s search area grew larger. She didn’t encounter many planets with life, and even fewer with inhabitants. Although she knew her hope was slim, she had no intention of giving up.
Cheng Hong Ling continued her search patiently. She was fortunate that her lover had obtained a teleportation gate; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to travel such long distances.
After a while, a planet with life entered Cheng Hong Ling’s sight. She flew nearby again to observe it.
This planet appeared slightly smaller than Lishui Star. It also had cultivators and evil spirits, but the cultivators had gained the absolute upper hand. As a result, the Yin energy was thin, and the few remaining evil spirits could only hide in dark corners to eke out a living.
Cheng Hong Ling was slightly disappointed because the clues she was looking for were related to wandering souls and ghosts. The fewer evil spirits there were, the slimmer her hope. However, as the saying goes, even a mosquito’s leg is still meat. She didn’t bypass it directly but continued to observe these evil spirits with her spiritual sense as usual.
Soon, Cheng Hong Ling raised her delicate eyebrows, and a hint of pleasant surprise appeared on her face because she discovered a strange evil spirit in a hidden, remote corner.
This evil spirit was the vengeful soul of a young man. However, it was not formed by the Life Soul but by the Tian Chongpo, one of the Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls. Anyone who saw this would be greatly surprised because it was too abnormal.
As is well known, a person’s Life Soul is composed of the Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls. The Seven Vital Souls are the most miraculous, not only being a part of the Life Soul but also forming the basis of the seven major acupoints of the body.
This means that as soon as a person’s physical body dies, the Seven Vital Souls will immediately turn to ashes. This is why wandering souls and ghosts only have their Life Souls.
Now, an exception had appeared. A vengeful soul formed by the Tian Chongpo was “blatantly” appearing in Cheng Hong Ling’s sight.
How could the Seven Vital Souls survive after the body’s death?
This was the ultimate answer Cheng Hong Ling needed to seek.
Cheng Hong Ling entered this planet, but she didn’t rashly approach the vengeful soul. Instead, she lurked in a distant location to observe.
Qi Huang returned to Lishui Star but didn’t see his wife. He immediately contacted Cheng Hong Ling using mind transmission. Since the communication between the Main Body and Clone was not limited by distance like the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device, she wasn’t afraid of not being able to contact him.
“Don’t worry, I was too bored on Lishui Star, so I came out for a walk,” Cheng Hong Ling reassured him.
Qi Huang persuaded her for a long time in vain. Thinking that his lover’s strength had already reached the Master-level Immortal, she could walk sideways in the Cultivation World, so he reluctantly gave up.
Cheng Hong Ling lurked in her spot for a few days. She had a general understanding of the planet. This planet was called “Qi Ling Star.” Its cultivation system was the same as Lishui Star, as they were both under the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements. Its situation was also very similar to the current Lishui Star. Because several incredibly talented monsters had appeared in the Qi Ling Star’s Cultivation World in the past thousand years, they had suppressed the Ghost Tribe to the point where they could barely breathe, and it was now difficult for them to affect the lives of ordinary people.
As days passed, the vengeful soul formed by the Tian Chongpo kept hiding in its lair and didn’t come out, nor did it interact with other evil spirits. Cheng Hong Ling gradually lost her patience. Just as she was about to lose her patience, an anomaly occurred, and a powerful spiritual sense swept over that vengeful soul.
The vengeful soul also sensed something unusual. Without hesitation, it shot out of its lair and fled towards the distance.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
A shadow streaked across the sky like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up and blocked the vengeful soul’s path.
“Huang Hua, you’ve been hiding quite well, actually hiding in such a desolate place. No wonder no one has been able to find you all these years.”
The figure pursuing it mocked. His fair face was still childish, and he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. There was also a willow-leaf-shaped green mark between his eyebrows, indicating that he was just a clone.
This young man could fly through the air, which meant he had reached at least the Huashen realm. With a clone reaching the Huashen realm at such a young age, his main body must be a monster with an Immortal bloodline flowing through him!
Cheng Hong Ling immediately made this deduction.
“Who are you? What do you want?” the vengeful soul named Huang Hua asked with a solemn expression.
“I am Bao Hu, the first Immortal Seed of the Bao family of this generation. As for why I’m looking for you, you know it in your heart,” the young clone said proudly.
“The Bao family? The Bao family, the number one Immortal Family on Qi Ling Star? No wonder your clone has reached the Huashen realm at such a young age.” Huang Hua’s gaze flickered, and his expression became somewhat flustered.
“Stop the nonsense and tell me, where is your physical body? Otherwise, today will be your day of death,” Bao Hu’s eyes turned cold.
“Sorry, I really don’t know. After my body died, I don’t know which soul hid it,” Huang Hua explained as sincerely as possible.
Bao Hu’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Why would I lie to you? The mutation power isn’t useful to me. Why would I risk it for it?” Huang Hua tried his best to explain.
“Mutation power? What is that?” Cheng Hong Ling murmured to herself.
“Hehe, who says it’s not useful? You know the effects of mutation power very well. Which cultivator’s clone doesn’t want to obtain it? Possessing it is equivalent to owning a mountain of gold,” Bao Hu clearly didn’t believe him.
“There’s nothing I can do if you really don’t believe me,” Huang Hua shook his head helplessly.
“Then surrender obediently. I don’t believe I can’t open your mouth,” Bao Hu lost his patience, and his Huashen realm spiritual sense turned into a large hand and grabbed Huang Hua’s soul.
Huang Hua reflexively tried to dodge, but his movements couldn’t keep up with his thoughts. He could only watch as the large hand grabbed him.
“My life is over!” Huang Hua thought despairingly.
However, at this moment, a powerful spiritual sense shield suddenly appeared out of nowhere, protecting Huang Hua within it.
“Bang!”
Bao Hu’s spiritual sense hand hit the powerful shield and immediately shattered like a hen’s egg hitting a rock. He himself let out a muffled groan from the backlash and stumbled as he fell towards the ground below.
“Which expert? May you show yourself?” Bao Hu steadied himself and then called out pretendly calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender red figure appeared beside Huang Hua, followed by a refreshing fragrance that made the surrounding butterflies dance.
Bao Hu saw this, and his eyes immediately showed a look of obsession because the red figure was actually a stunning beauty of twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, so beautiful that his Dao heart instantly wavered.
This woman was, of course, Cheng Hong Ling.
“May I know what the Immortal’s name is? Why are you obstructing me?” Bao Hu composed himself and then asked gently. Firstly, he didn’t know the other party’s depth, and secondly, as a man, it was truly difficult to scowl at a woman of such beauty.
“What is mutation power?” Cheng Hong Ling asked directly.
“You don’t even know about mutation power?” Bao Hu was stunned.
Huang Hua, within the shield, also showed a look of surprise, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
“Stop the nonsense. If you don’t want to die, hurry up and tell me,” Cheng Hong Ling threatened impatiently.
“It’s nothing,” Bao Hu rolled his eyes and perfunctorily replied, seemingly thinking that a beautiful woman was necessarily kind-hearted.
“Courting death!” Cheng Hong Ling’s anger surged, and a terrifying spiritual sense revealed a corner of its power, suppressing the young man. She was indeed kind, but that didn’t mean she was indecisive.
“Thump!”
Bao Hu’s legs went soft like noodles, and he then knelt heavily on the ground, creating a large pit. Instantly, mud and stones flew, breaking the surrounding branches.
“Pfft!”
Bao Hu spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
“I’ll ask you again, what exactly is mutation power?” Cheng Hong Ling pressed him with overwhelming killing intent.
