Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze sat in the pavilion of Shenfang Palace, drinking tea. She held her teacup contentedly, looking at the Fairy Crystal Mountain on the opposite island, which was shimmering with colorful light. She couldn't be happier.
After looking at the Immortal Crystal Mountain to her heart's content, Lin Qianqian turned to Yun Ze and asked, "You already know about my cultivation level improvement, aren't you even a little curious about my soul's state?"
"Didn't you just say that with the protection of the Soft Smoke Silk, your body will be fine for the time being, and you can just focus on your cultivation from now on?"
"Aren't you curious? Don't you want to see what my divine soul, with its divine essence, looks like?"
"I'm just curious. I'll look if Qianqian tells me to, and I won't look if it's inconvenient for me to."
I want you to see it!
After saying that, Lin Qianqian reached out, trying to pull Yunze's soul into her own sea of consciousness.
Yunze stopped Lin Qianqian's outstretched hand, saying, "Qianqian, that's your most important secret. You shouldn't show it to others."
“I know! But you are not just anyone. We are not only Daoist partners, but also Daoist partners bound by a contract, who cannot betray each other. I am showing you this in the hope that you can also condense your divine spark as soon as possible, so that when we ascend to the Immortal Realm, we will not be lowly figures.”
It's true that Lin Qianqian likes Yun Ze, but she's not really love-struck and tells him everything, or pours her heart out to him.
She was honest with Yunze because she was gaining a deeper understanding of the ancient marriage contract. It was a covenant that bound their fates together, and betrayal was impossible.
Even if there were a way to break the contract and betray the other party, the other party would pay a heavy price.
Although her cultivation level is not as high as Yunze's, her soul strength surpasses his.
Her soul has transformed into a divine soul, and her mastery of the laws far surpasses that of Yunze.
Actually, she was a little smug! She wanted to show off to him and spur Yunze on, so that he would hurry up and catch up.
"Alright, then I'll see just how sacred Qianqian's soul is!"
Yunze's smile remained gentle, but Lin Qianqian felt that something was off.
Lin Qianqian pulled him by the collar, drew closer, and stood on tiptoe. Yunze bent down and lowered his head in response.
Their foreheads touched, their brows facing each other.
In an instant, Yunze's soul entered Lin Qianqian's sea of consciousness.
At the same time, deep within Lin Qianqian's sea of consciousness, a soul covered by a transparent veil and surrounded by light gauze opened its eyes.
Yunze stared intently at the divine soul before him: it shimmered with a faint golden halo, wore a crown adorned with mysterious runes, held a scepter, and gently caressed the River of Life.
This is Qianqian's divine soul, possessing divine qualities! It's truly dazzling!
"Qianqian is amazing!"
As he spoke, his soul began to change.
The jade crown that had been holding his hair up was gone, and his long silver hair was now flowing down his back.
Above her right ear floated a magical artifact that resembled both a mirror and a clock, its form indistinct and difficult to discern. Long, shimmering tassels cascaded down from the artifact, trailing to her chest.
There was another object near the left ear, but it was more hazy and shimmering, and it was clear that it was not yet fully formed.
The silver divine markings on his forehead were faintly visible.
He wore a long robe that was blue on the inside and silver on the outside, which enveloped his soul, causing it to shift between reality and illusion.
Two rivers of light, one gold and one silver, wrapped around his arm and extended into the endless void behind him.
Lin Qianqian stared in disbelief at Yunze's soul, stammering, "How come you... you also... when did this happen?"
"Are you asking when you also transformed into a divine soul? The transformation began when the Primordial Realm appeared. But I am different from you. I transformed little by little because of the bloodlines of both my parents, so my physical body can adapt to my divine soul, and I don't need to use a divine artifact to separate the two."
As he spoke, he pointed to the faint divine markings on his forehead.
"It has taken nearly a hundred years to reach this state. Yet, it seems that Qianqian's divine soul is still not as solid as it was, and her divine essence is also unstable. It seems that Qianqian is the one favored by fate!"
"Is that polite of you to say? I'm just lucky, I got what I deserved with the help of external forces. But what are you? How dare you say I'm the one favored by fate? You're the chosen one, aren't you?"
Lin Qianqian was a little unhappy. She had come here to show off, but she was disappointed.
"I'm a little angry. You've been changing your mind for a while now, and you didn't even tell me. I'm so sad. I always share my changes with you first."
"Don't be angry. Look at my state. It's all mixed up and unstable. My divine spark hasn't fully awakened and solidified. I'm not even sure myself, so how can I tell you?"
Lin Qianqian looked at his constantly shifting divine soul form, and realized that he was telling the truth, so there was really nothing to be angry about.
"Okay, I forgive you! So when will you be able to settle down completely?"
"Without a fortuitous encounter, it will take at least another hundred years."
"It's okay, we have plenty of time."
Lin Qianqian offered a dry word of comfort; as someone who relied on external forces to transfer her soul, she didn't know what to say.
But at this moment, Yunze gently embraced her, raised his right hand, and slowly let his fingertips pass through the River of Life that Lin Qianqian was holding in her left hand.
Lin Qianqian immediately sensed something unfamiliar intruding into her domain, penetrating back and forth, stirring up trouble.
She trembled all over, instinctively wanting to fight back, but realizing it was Yunze's power, she forcefully suppressed her urge to repel the unfamiliar force.
After a long while, Yunze opened his eyes and released her.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Yunze's soul had become a little more solid.
"Yunze, is that your soul?"
"Yes, spending more time with Qianqian is beneficial; it can help me solidify my divine soul and stabilize my awakened divine status as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Lin Qianqian was terrified.
"Could it be that you used yin-yang balancing techniques on me?"
Yunze gently flicked her forehead. "What are you thinking? You can think of it as another form of dual cultivation. It will be good for you too."
Lin Qianqian carefully sensed it, focusing on her life's journey, and gained a deeper understanding.
Okay, Yunze is right!
"That's enough for today. We'll talk about the rest another time. We've been here for a while now, it's time to go out."
"good."
Yunze's soul returned, and Lin Qianqian also opened her eyes.
The two left the Cloud Void Realm and went downstairs to help.
After all, they had a mission when they traveled through time. They could slack off occasionally, but they couldn't do nothing at all.
The two arrived on the first floor, where, apart from a few cashier robots, no one else was on the first floor.
Lin Qianqian used her divine sense to sense the surroundings and found that apart from Chu Zhou and Wen Mingyue upstairs, no one else was in the mall; they must have gone out.
Just as she was about to withdraw her divine sense, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why do the orcs in the mall have so many black spots on their bodies, and why are those black spots sticky and ominous, making her feel extremely disgusted?
"Yunze, use your divine sense to look at the orcs in the mall. See if they have any ominous black spots on their bodies?"
Upon hearing Lin Qianqian's request, Yunze didn't ask any questions and immediately used his divine sense to investigate.
He scanned repeatedly but found no black spots.
"I didn't find the black spots you mentioned, just some dark dirt."
Lin Qianqian didn't believe it. "Could it be that I'm imagining things?"
As she spoke, she locked onto a female beastman at the door and sent her divine sense towards her.
