「Several months later, in the Heart Wood Ancient Land.」

Gu Yuqing sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by Clean energy, with a few streaks of an eerie glow, more like flame than cyan, twinkling around her from time to time.

After a short while, she opened her eyes, and the eerie glow transformed into an odd shape that zipped into her pupils, pulsating with joy.

The Cultivation Technique Piao Miaoxu gave really has issues...

After several months of arduous Cultivation, she had indeed discovered grave issues with that Cultivation Technique.

As her Cultivation deepened, when her soul merged with that ancient wood, it actually began to produce strands of unique consciousness.

If it had been before, she might not have paid it much attention.

But having experienced the incident with Piao Miaoxu, Gu Yuqing knew that it must be Piao Miaoxu’s mischief.

Although it’s obvious there’s a trick, this Cultivation Technique really is special. Cultivating the soul with objects, then using the soul to alter the body, transforming one’s physical form... just who exactly is Piao Miaoxu?

Gu Yuqing mused inwardly.

A Cultivation Technique, even if it’s from the Evil Path, often does not easily change one’s physical form.

Typically, only spirit beasts and Demon Beasts, these physically formidable members of the Spirit Clan, might change their own forms through their Cultivation Techniques, thereby unleashing even greater power.

Otherwise, it’s mostly Transformation Techniques, changing only their appearance, not their power.

Yet the Cultivation Technique Piao Miaoxu had given could actually let one change oneself, truly...

Gu Yuqing extended her hand and looked at her body, which seemed almost incorporeal, on the verge of becoming ethereal.

She was not a Body Cultivator, just a Divinity Transformation cultivator whose Primordial Spirit was born of heaven and earth, able to wander the world and absorb the Primordial Qi from heaven and earth to refine her body, which would also gradually improve. Moreover, within the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, there was a corresponding Body Refining method to ensure that her physical body could accommodate her Primordial Spirit without becoming strong in spirit but weak in flesh.

Now, cultivating that so-called Three Elements Soul Gathering Technique, not only has my Primordial Spirit been strengthened, but even my body’s form has undergone some changes. This ethereal body, seeming neither human nor spirit, has also drawn strength from the ancient wood, giving rise to a false sense that all things in the world could be at my command. The only thing is, that strand of special consciousness which arose has also been slowly strengthening along with the Cultivation Technique. If I keep cultivating this way, there’s no guarantee that consciousness won’t coexist with my own soul. Whether I would still be myself in the end... that’s hard to say. Most likely, I would end up under Piao Miaoxu’s control.

Fortunately... this Primordial Wood Longevity Skill can let me completely control this ancient wood... And this strand of consciousness, born from the ancient wood, ensures that I will never be overwhelmed by it... If this Cultivation Technique wasn’t deliberately created by someone, then it means I’ve stumbled upon a fortune amid misfortune. If it was intentional, then it means someone had already anticipated Piao Miaoxu. I don’t believe I simply stumbled upon a fortune amid misfortune; I more rationally believe it might be intentional.

That middle-aged man... who is he?

Gu Yuqing remained expressionless, but her mind was full of doubts.

Someone who knows Piao Miaoxu so thoroughly, and could even help me break free from her control... Could it be Wang Mu? But the Nine Provinces are vast; I’ve traveled extensively without hearing any news of him. With Piao Miaoxu’s current power, how could he achieve this? Could that middle-aged man be related to him?

While she pondered, the light screen dissipated and the Barrier peeled away. As a rainbow light descended, the Ancient Sage Dongfang Mu once again landed in this place.

"Not bad," the Ancient Sage Dongfang Mu said. "It seems you have gained a basic grasp of the Cultivation Technique!"

Piao Miaoxu then casually glanced at Gu Yuqing. "Since you’ve gained entrance, that proves you truly intend to submit to me."

After speaking, Piao Miaoxu’s eyes flashed with unusual light, and she mumbled several strange and twisted syllables, as if reciting some Magic Words.

Gu Yuqing’s mind reeled, feeling the consciousness that had arisen from the Cultivation within the ancient wood buzzing incessantly.

She felt as if she had lost control of her body, overcome by an impulse to kneel in submission; even a desire to prostrate herself in worship surged within her heart.

At the crucial moment, Gu Yuqing subconsciously activated the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill. As the ancient wood in her Sea of Consciousness trembled, the urge gradually faded.

She must have been trying to control me just now...

Gu Yuqing was shocked. She hadn’t expected Piao Miaoxu to have another trick up her sleeve; it wasn’t just that the Cultivation Technique could breed a consciousness capable of dominating her.

Piao Miaoxu could also use this strand of consciousness to control me...

Understanding this, Gu Yuqing pretended to kneel uncontrollably, then glared at Piao Miaoxu and said angrily, "What are you trying to do?"

"Relax," Piao Miaoxu said, looking very pleased. "I was just checking on your Cultivation. Rest assured, since you’ve chosen to submit to me, and we are both women, I certainly won’t do anything untoward. But now, I need to test whether you truly mean to join me."

Some resistance is normal. After all, she just pledged allegiance to me, so her loyalty isn’t fully there yet.

No matter. As long as Gu Yuqing cultivates this Cultivation Technique, it’s clear the consciousness of the Forest Ghost has already been born.

Otherwise, my Heavenly Demon Secret Curse wouldn’t be effective.

So, it’s normal for Gu Yuqing to resist. But as long as she is trapped by me, firmly held in my grasp...

"I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Simple. I want you to go to Dongfang... that is, to Wang Mu’s side," Piao Miaoxu said indifferently. "Don’t be too quick to refuse. I’m not asking you to kill him—you couldn’t anyway. I merely want you to report back on his activities and condition at all times."

Gu Yuqing was stunned.

"Incidentally, it should be quite nice to be with your beloved, right?" Piao Miaoxu said, squinting. "I’m not discussing this with you. This is an order."

"Do you understand?"

With that, the Secret spell from Piao Miaoxu’s mouth began to resonate, like a series of ancient musical notes, pulsating with an unknown, mysterious power.

Gu Yuqing felt an impulse she dared not defy rise from the depths of her soul.
