Chapter 198: Changing Race

Bai Ti arrived promptly. Within two days, he arrived to fetch his daughter. He was very different from the way he appeared the last time – this time, he looked very much older. The way he looked at Bai Qiao showed that he no longer cared for nor cherished her as much anymore. It seemed that he had been extremely hurt by Bai Qiao’s stubborn behavior.

Just as Lonemoon expected, the two of them could not swap their souls back. Bai Qiao was fully healed and Xuan Tong’s primordial spirit had fully recovered. The success rate for the soul swapping technique was far too low, and there was no way they could fix the targets. They were afraid that if they tried to swap their souls, the souls would end up disappearing. Even with the Spirit Convening Lamp, the risks were the same. The Spirit Convening Lamp could not fix the targets, but it could only ensure that one did not lose his primordial spirit. In other words, when one’s primordial spirit was completely whole, and soul swapping is attempted by force, one of the souls would definitely die.

Obviously, when Xin Han thought of swapping Bai Qiao’s and Hui Ling’s souls, he did not think that Bai Qiao would survive. That was why even though he knew it was not Bai Qiao in that body, he still wanted to go ahead with the soul swapping. When Xuan Tong figured this out, she felt a wave of panic. Thank goodness! Thank goodness Sect Master recognised her, otherwise…

Suddenly, she felt overcome by emotion. She turned and entered Shen Ying’s room silently, filling it with potatoes, red potatoes, fresh flowers and other offerings.

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Radish: “…”

At last, Bai Ti decided not to swap their souls. The two of them were to remain the way they were and Bai Ti was to bring Bai Qiao back. Her cultivation level had been completely destroyed and she was going to have to re-train herself. It was likely that she would not be able to

Xuan Tong, who turned from a human cultivator into demon was suffering much the same fate. Although she had Qi Chengyu’s immortal Qi every now and then, which allowed her to keep her human form, her body was not even as powerful as first-stage demons.

Incidentally, Lonemoon did not object to them sticking to the status quo. He only requested that Bai Ti, Xuan Tong and Bai Qiao make a Heavenly Dao promise with him, that they would never attempt to swap their souls back no matter what.

Bai Ti agreed.

After the promise was made, four huge bolts of divine lightning shot down from the sky, casting a curse on each of them. Lonemoon, who looked like he had been forced into making a bad deal, suddenly plastered his business grin onto his face. He turned around and chased them away, saying, “Your Majesty Bai Ti, it’s getting late, forgive me for not seeing you out.”

“This matter… I have your sect to thank for all your help. You saved my child.” Bai Ti was short-tempered, but he still understood how to appreciate favours. The soul swap occurred by accident, but they did save his daughter afterall. “I will thank you properly in time to come.”

When he finished speaking, he brought his daughter – who was still recovering from the huge blow – back to Bai Zhao.

Lonemoon’s grin widened. This grin just got wider and wider, especially a few days later when people from Bai Zhao arrived from the sect to send over ten storage bags’ worth of thank-you gift. His eyes were slits, just like Xuan Tong’s new eyes.

Everybody in Invincible Sect who knew what was going on: “…”

Shrewd businessman!

He took advantage of them and still went further so as to make more money out of this misery. Xuan Tong and Bai Qiao were both suffering equally badly. One was a mortal, and one was a normal fox. Bai Ti had no idea, but Shen Ying and the rest knew all of this.

Xin Han said before that the cultivation level in Bai Qiao had not vanished. What’s more, her powers had been sealed by some unknown powers. She was actually a Stygian Immortal. Not only did Xuan Tong increase in cultivation level for no reason, Lonemoon also got paid a huge sum for it.

When everybody saw Xuan Tong’s fox body, however, they saw the difficulties. Nobody knew where the seal was. She looked just like a spirit fox that had just gained sentience.No wonder Bai Ti had not realised his own daughter’s odd form.

They studied Xuan Tong’s body for several days, but still no one could locate the seal. That was until one day, when Radish, who had come to deliver dandelions and carry Xuan Tong’s offerings away, suddenly spoke. “Eh, this fox’s paw has a mark on it. It looks just like the one that Brother Lan has!”

“The spirit-sealing deed!” Chen Ge was the first to react. “That’s the work of demons!”

Everybody was shocked. It was no wonder that they could not locate it – it was the work of demons. They immediately brought Xuan Tong to the rear mountain and located the God of Fortune Lan, who had been refining pills for months.

Indeed, the moment he saw Xuan Tong’s predicament, he managed to solve it.

Lonemoon worried at first that if Chen Ge saw Lan Hua in Invincible Sect, a conflict would arise. Hence, he did not allow Lan Hua to take a single step out of the rear garden. But by then, it was proven though that Chen Ge was not in the least bit bothered by this. Throughout the entire process, he just stared worriedly at Xuan Tong. He was the most anxious out of all of them about Xuan Tong’s predicament, as if Xuan Tong was his disciple and not Invincible Sect’s.

It was just like Xin Han had said. The moment the seal was undone, the immortal Qi in Xuan Tong’s body exploded. Her cultivation level increased at a frightening rate so that she immediately became a Stygian Immortal. Her cultivation level was now the highest after Lonemoon and Yi Qing.

Her tail had also multiplied into nine tails. She was a white nine-tail fox. On her body were streaks of white lightning. She was lightning-elemental!

Lonemoon’s eyes twinkled as he gazed at her. Then, he patted the now human Xuan Tong on her shoulder, saying, “From today on, I will personally train you in the sword technique!”

People with lightning-elemental body types were usually naturals at sword cultivation! This time, nobody would be able to lead her astray. Physical cultivators my ass!

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Father Niu, did you forget that she’s the female lead?

Xuan Tong paused. Although she was a Stygian Immortal, she was not at all skilled in terms of any technique. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She knelt down and exclaimed, “Thank you, Elder!” Sticking close to Elder would allow her to see Sect Master more. That was great!

Chen Ge could not help but take a step forward. “Actually, I can help…”

“Get lost!”

“Oh…” A certain male lead stepped back in his place.

For some reason, Xuan Tong could not stand the sight of that Celestial Emperor called Chen Ge. The moment she saw him, she wanted to hit him.

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

They could almost hear the novel plot falling apart…

Lonemoon cleared his throat and turned to Lan Hua, telling him about Xin Han tearing an opening that was filled with demonic Qi. Indeed, he found an answer to that as well.

“The Bite of Ten Thousand Voids!” Lan Hua exclaimed.

“What does that mean?” Lonemoon asked. “Explain yourself.”

“That’s a kind of sorcery that works like a transportation array,” Lan Hua explained. “But it does not have to be conjured beforehand, nor would it cost any immortal stones. The way it works in space is different as well. The Bite of Ten Thousand Voids would allow one to teleport to anywhere in the world in seconds.”

“You mean to say that we have no way of knowing where he went?”

“That might not be true!” Lan Hua could not help but offer a cup of hot tea to the foodie who was sitting beside him snacking on pastries. Then, he continued, “The Bite of Ten Thousand Voids requires a large amount of demonic Qi. At the exit, there would also be some kind of phenomenon. You can look around to see where any phenomenon has been spotted in the last few days in the immortal realm, then you’ll be able to locate him.”

Chen Ge frowned and addressed the crowd as if recalling something. His expression was sombre.

“I’m afraid… things aren’t that simple.”

“…”
