Chapter 93 : I Can Still Move In

Chapter 93: I Can Still Move In

“Have a child?”

Li Yunqing instinctively shook her head, her gaze subconsciously drifting toward the guards and Xiaolan behind her.

What kind of absurd idea was this—asking her to get close with a man and become pregnant?

Seeing Li Yunqing’s somewhat panicked expression, the woman chuckled lightly. “Although we have dispersed all our cultivation and Dao attainment, leaving only our Yang Spirit to linger, we are not ordinary people…”

At this point, the woman suddenly froze, then looked at Li Yunqing with uncertainty and surprise. “You actually aren’t?”

This was common knowledge from the Age of Immortals and Gods.

The path of cultivation consisted of the physical body and the soul.

The physical body existed in reality and could naturally control things within reality, while the soul existed in the intangible and could control the void.

The ultimate goal of cultivation was to let qi move between the real and the unreal, fusing and coexisting to give birth to a Primordial Spirit that combined both—thus controlling the laws of heaven and earth and achieving immortality.

Unfortunately, due to the backlash of heaven and earth and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, if one wished to survive, the only way was to disperse all cultivation and Dao attainment, abandon the physical body, and let only the soul linger.

Without magical power or Dao attainment, just like refining weapons or formations, one could not even achieve body possession in a compatible way.

Only when a woman conceived a child—before it had fully formed, before consciousness and soul were born, when it was not yet a true living being—

Could one merge with it, borrowing the life force of the mother, achieving a form of rebirth akin to reincarnation.

“Swish!”

The woman’s figure flashed and instantly appeared beside Li Yunqing. She performed a Daoist salute and said softly, “I was presumptuous. Please forgive me.”

Those who had survived from the Age of Immortals and Gods might not care about physical appearance.

But women born and raised in this world placed unimaginable importance on their reputation and would never casually bear children.

As for the woman’s sudden movement, aside from Li Yunqing, the others nearby remained completely unaware.

They only knew that a woman had descended from the sky, wiped out the God-Worship Sect disciples, and then vanished.

They had no idea that the woman in white was still standing beside Li Yunqing.

“Clean up and rest.”

Li Yunqing spoke to the group, then turned and walked toward the carriage.

These guards, including Xiaolan, were useless here. If the woman in white had ill intentions, aside from herself, no one would survive.

Seeing this, the woman in white followed closely behind Li Yunqing, step by step, staying very near.

Her nose twitched slightly, her eyes shining brightly.

A Pure Yin Body could nourish all things. Even without a physical body, staying near this young woman would reduce the consumption of her Yang Spirit.

Moreover, she possessed a top-tier Sword Dao physique, along with a body free of all impurities, untouched by the mortal world.

Such astonishing talent—and she had actually encountered it.

If she could have her bear a child, the talent of that child would undoubtedly be among the best in the world.

“No wonder she can cultivate a Yin Spirit… unfortunately, some things cannot be forced.”

The woman sighed inwardly.

Though the Yang Spirit was powerful, without magical power to support it, using abilities and divine techniques was equivalent to burning the soul—ending inevitably in complete annihilation.

Without a physical body, the Yang Spirit would constantly be consumed while moving through the world, ultimately leading to the same fate.

Even with a physical body, there were drawbacks—the Yang Spirit would be limited by the lifespan of the body, gradually withering as the body aged.

In this era where the path of immortality had been severed, without an exceptional body to cultivate quickly, one would still be unable to escape death in the end.

This was also the reason those Evil Gods existed.

First, their strength was insufficient—their Yin Spirit or Yang Spirit could not persist long, forcing them to manifest in the world.

Second, they had once merged with physical bodies and were influenced by their limitations.

To survive, they could only devour the flesh and souls of living beings to slow the dissipation of their Yin Spirit or Yang Spirit.

Having struggled to survive from the Age of Immortals and Gods until now—who would willingly accept complete annihilation?

If one could live even a moment longer, no one would choose death.

Inside the carriage, Li Yunqing and the woman in white sat facing each other.

The woman remained composed and courteous as she spoke, “My Daoist title is Yuan Qing, known in the Age of Immortals and Gods as Venerable Yuan Qing.”

“The great chaos that occurs every four hundred years is approaching, so I have emerged to seek a path forward.”

“The four-hundred-year chaos?”

Li Yunqing’s brows moved slightly, confusion appearing in her eyes. “The fall of the Divine Realm?”

“Correct.” Yuan Qing nodded and explained carefully, “With the path of immortality severed, those who did not abandon their physical bodies and magical power all perished.”

“Only those who dispersed all magical power and Dao attainment, abandoning their bodies and leaving only their Yang Spirit, could linger in this world.”

“But as time passes, the Yang Spirit still dissipates. Thus, every few hundred years, the Yang Spirits of immortals and gods emerge into the world, pushing the path of cultivation forward.”

“In hopes of finding a new path to longevity.”

“The Martial Dao Divine Realm is the result of generations of such efforts, but it can only last for at most four hundred years.”

“Thus, the remnants of immortals and gods within the forbidden zones have agreed—every four hundred years, they emerge. Amid chaos and slaughter in the world, they drive the path of cultivation forward.”

Hearing this, Li Yunqing suddenly understood.

Without these immortals and gods, without anyone pushing forward, this world might have turned like her previous life—toward a technological civilization.

At that point, the path of cultivation would be completely severed, with no possibility of continuation.

“Fairy Yuan Qing, please forgive me. This life of mine is devoted to the Martial Dao. I will never involve myself in romantic relationships, nor will I bear children.”

Li Yunqing spoke solemnly, her tone firm.

Other matters could be discussed—but this, she could not do.

Yuan Qing fell silent, feeling deeply regretful.

With the talent and beauty of the young woman before her—even in the Age of Immortals and Gods, she would have been pursued by countless men.

She might even have been forcibly taken by powerful figures.

After all, the talents and attributes of parents greatly influenced their descendants.

For the sake of family, future generations, and lasting prosperity—even immortals and gods were no exception.

The Dao companions they sought were all unparalleled beauties with extraordinary talent.

“I see that although you have cultivated a Yin Spirit, you do not understand the methods of cultivating Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, nor can you wield their power.”

Yuan Qing spoke, raising her hand. Points of light drifted from her body, forming dense lines of text before Li Yunqing.

“This Yuan Qing Spirit Refinement Chapter—I will give it to you, as a token of goodwill.”

“If you do not mind, I can teach you. No need for a master-disciple relationship—we can address each other as sisters. What do you think?”

Looking at the dense text before her, Li Yunqing blinked.

Everything had happened too suddenly—she could not immediately weigh the pros and cons.

Sensing her hesitation, Yuan Qing continued, “I will not harm you. Your talent is among the best in the world.”

“And your will is resolute, free from romantic entanglements. It is possible that the path beyond the Divine Realm may one day be opened by you.”

“In the future, I might even have to call you Master. Giving you this Spirit Refinement Chapter and becoming sisters is my own selfish wish.”

At this point, Yuan Qing paused slightly before continuing, “Of course, it is also related to your Pure Yin Body. Staying near you slows the consumption of my Yang Spirit.”

“I can persist longer and have more opportunities to choose parents with exceptional talent.”

“So I ask for your understanding—even if I become the younger sister, it is fine.”

Li Yunqing blinked again. The Pure Yin Body had such an effect?

However, she could sense Yuan Qing’s sincerity, and the Spirit Refinement Chapter was indeed tempting.

It was also mutually beneficial.

After a brief hesitation, she said, “Li Yunqing greets Elder Sister Yuan Qing.”

“Good! From today onward, we are sisters!”

Yuan Qing’s face lit up with joy. Her previously reserved and elegant demeanor instantly became lively as she moved closer, wrapping an arm around Li Yunqing’s waist.

She leaned against her, rubbing lightly. “Good thing you’re not a man, otherwise I’d feel a bit restrained!”

“Come, little sister, I’ll teach you the Spirit Refinement Chapter. This was created by me personally.”

“Back then, the name Venerable Yuan Qing resounded throughout the cultivation world—ordinary people would have to wait hundreds of years just to see me.”

“But from today on, you’re my real little sister. What’s mine is yours—no need to be polite.”

Li Yunqing: “……”

Wasn’t she supposed to be a reserved fairy?

Why had she changed so completely in an instant?

And this hugging and clinging—was she sure she wasn’t teasing her?

“Come closer—the Pure Yin Body works better this way. You don’t mind, do you, little sister?”

Yuan Qing pressed herself against Li Yunqing, her gaze drifting toward Li Yunqing’s flat abdomen. “If I had a choice, I’d definitely choose here… unfortunately, you’re unwilling.”

Feeling Yuan Qing’s gaze, Li Yunqing froze.

Being teased by a man was one thing—she wouldn’t feel much.

But now she was being teased by a woman?

No tools involved—what was there to be afraid of!

“Cough… it’s fine, it’s fine!”

Li Yunqing coughed lightly in response, her eyes shifting toward the Yuan Qing Spirit Refinement Chapter before her as she began to read carefully.

After all, they were both women—being a bit closer didn’t bother her much.

Moreover, Yuan Qing’s genuine personality made things feel more relaxed.

She herself no longer needed to maintain appearances and could be freely lazy, acting as she pleased.

Hearing her response, Yuan Qing also relaxed slightly, her gaze occasionally sweeping over Li Yunqing’s flat abdomen.

‘What if one day she meets a man she truly likes… and falls in love?’

‘Then perhaps… I could still move in.’
