Chapter 1856: Three Months Later
After two months, Huang Lingzhu returned to the Yunlong Zhuzhai. This time, she came to fulfill her promise to Ling Yun, and his clone directly sent her into his soul world.
Back then, Huang Lingzhu promised Ling Yun to help him expand his soul world using her time abilities, but she postponed it to wait for the others to finish learning the soul technique. (Chapter 1819-1820)
Once everyone learned the technique and formed their soul seas, Xie Zuzhou unexpectedly appeared in Ling Yun’s domain, and Huang Lingzhu decided to leave to investigate something.
Inside Ling Yun’s soul world, Huang Lingzhu looked at the surrounding. She sighed regretfully because she couldn’t form her soul world, and she couldn’t help feeling jealous of him. Right now, her soul power was already below his, and she would fall even further behind him if his soul world was fully formed.
Moreover, Huang Lingzhu remembered that Ling Yun’s soul technique still had one final stage, which was creating his soul universe. To create it, he would have to create other soul worlds first, and she wouldn’t be able to reach his level if he actually created it.
"A soul universe," Huang Lingzhu murmured to herself. "What would happen if there were another universe within the existing one? How powerful would his soul power be then? Would he abandon this universe and focus on his own?"
Huang Lingzhu shook her head, sat suspended in mid-air, closed her eyes, and used her time element. Although she possessed the time element, she couldn’t estimate the time required to develop Ling Yun’s soul world, let alone how far it would develop.
Huang Lingzhu cleared her mind and focused her attention solely on developing Ling Yun’s soul world. She wanted to see how powerful his soul power would be once it was fully developed.

Three months passed quickly in the outside world—equivalent to nine hundred days in the Yunlong Zhuzhai.
For nearly two and a half years, Ling Yun’s clone continued to train with Ai Qing and the others. His combat prowess had far surpassed that of the female immortals, leaving them overwhelmed when sparring with him.
Apart from sparring with Ling Yun in turns, the female immortals also focused on training his children and their partners. Although their fighting skills had improved a lot, they still needed to continue honing them.
Over the past two and a half years, Ling Yun had also visited Huang Lingzhu within his soul world, yet no progress was yet visible. He knew developing a soul world wasn’t that easy, so he didn’t blame her.
Moreover, Ling Yun didn’t possess the time element like Huang Lingzhu, and his soul world would develop far more slowly if he relied solely on dual soul cultivation with all his wives.

After years of effort, Yun Jingqiu managed to create her own soul technique, which was completely different from other soul techniques.
Throughout the process, Yun Jingqiu never neglected her cultivation; otherwise, Ling Yun would have awakened her long ago. While her soul focused on creating her technique, her body never stopped absorbing qi, and her cultivation also experienced significant improvements.
"Wake up?"
Yun Jingqiu nodded at him. "How much time have I missed, Father?"
"Several years." Ling Yun sat by her side. "Have you succeeded?"
Yun Jingqiu’s smile widened, and she explained her soul technique. "Combined with your soul technique, my soul and Feng Jingqiu’s will become stronger faster, and my soul strength will surpass my brothers and sisters in the future. Unfortunately, my brothers and sisters cannot learn my soul technique because it can only be learned by people with two or more souls, like you and my mother."
"I’m proud of you, Qiu’er." Ling Yun rubbed her head. "You cultivated much later than your brothers and sisters, but they haven’t created a single technique yet, and you’re the first. Moreover, your body didn’t stop cultivating when you created your technique, and your cultivation didn’t lag behind theirs."
"Thank you, Father." Yun Jingqiu hugged him. "Once I’ve mastered all the stages of my soul technique, I’ll try to create my soul world. I don’t know if I’ll succeed in creating it, but I want to give it a try first."
"You can try, but there’s no need to push yourself too hard, okay?" Ling Yun remembered something. "By the way, Yue’er has been waiting for you for a long time, and she wants to ask for your help in creating a technique."
Yun Jingqiu looked at him in confusion. "Why does Sister Yue want to try creating her own technique?"
"Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, and Yue’er doesn’t have a talent for creating new techniques." Yun Jingqiu rolled her eyes; she was familiar with Xuanyuan Yue’s character. "Haha! You don’t need to react like this, you know? You can create new techniques, but you can’t invent new devices like hers, right?"
"Yes." Yun Jingqiu nodded. "I’m different from Sister Yue, and I’m not interested in things related to technology. So, what kind of technique does she want to create?"
"Do you remember my demon creation manual?"
"I remember." Yun Jingqiu surely remembered that technique. After all, that technique was the main factor behind her birth as the dark phoenix.
If Ling Yun hadn’t used it to transform Hua Ning into the dark phoenix, Yun Jingqiu would have been born as an ordinary woman.
"Does Sister Yue want to create a technique similar to the demon creation manual, Father?"
Ling Yun contacted Xuanyuan Yue and asked her to meet them. "Yue’er wants to create a technique to transform humans into beasts, and she wants to use it to create her new device."
"Turning humans into beasts?" Yun Jingqiu was shocked by that. "Is such a thing possible, Father? I know you can turn humans into demons or demon beasts using the demon creation manual, but—"
"Your mother turned into a dark phoenix because of that technique, remember?" Yun Jingqiu nodded slightly. "If my technique can turn humans into demon beasts, then why can’t other techniques turn humans into ordinary beasts?"
"That’s true." Yun Jingqiu then asked. "What exactly is Sister Yue’s purpose in wanting to create such a technique? Why are you supporting her?"
"As you already know, the number of mythical beast races is far too small compared to other races. If you can help Yue’er create that technique, she will be able to create her own device, and the number of mythical beasts will increase in the future."
Yun Jingqiu was puzzled. "Why don’t we let them reproduce naturally?"
"The reproduction process of mythical beasts takes far longer than that of humans, and they produce only a single offspring at a time. Since their numbers are too small in this universe, I support Yue’er in creating her device. For example, Xiao Xiao and Long Feng, their age difference is too big."
"That’s weird." Yun Jingqiu muttered softly. "Mother Hao is the one and only Chaos World-Devouring Beast, but she gave birth to two children at once. If she can do it, why can’t the mythical beasts do it?"
"Shouldn’t you already know the answer?"
Yun Jingqiu raised an eyebrow. "Is it because of you, Father?"
"Probably." Ling Yun paused. "I might be one of the reasons, but there’s another reason for it."
"Chaos."
"Chaos is omnipotent, and he can create anything. However, that’s just my guess, and I have no proof that he interfered in Hao’er’s pregnancy." Ling Yun rose to his feet. "Alright, Yue’er will come here soon, and you can discuss that with her."
After Ling Yun left, Feng Jingqiu spoke into Yun Jingqiu’s mind. ’Hey! I think your sister’s idea is interesting, so you should help her create that technique. Who knows? The Dark Phoenix race might flourish again in the future, and we will become their leaders.’
"I have no interest in becoming a leader." Yun Jingqiu shook her head. "However, you’re right about that. Currently, there are only two dark phoenixes in this universe: my mother and I. Honestly, I want our dark phoenix race to flourish again, but I’m worried they will become evil like in the past. If that happens, my father will be furious and eliminate them."
As a Dark Phoenix, Feng Jingqiu naturally understood that, yet she desired for the Dark Phoenix race to flourish like in the past. ’Hmm? Perhaps you should discuss this with your sister first, and she might be able to do something to prevent it from happening.’
"Alright." Yun Jingqiu nodded in agreement.
*Drap... Drap...*
Yun Jingqiu looked at Xuanyuan Yue, who had run into her room. "Oh gosh! You’re finally awake, Big Sis Qiu! I’ve been waiting for you for several years!"
"Hmm?" Yun Jingqiu scrutinized her. "I feel like your cultivation progress is not as fast as I previously thought."
"Hahaha," Xuanyuan Yue scratched her head awkwardly. "Hey, Big Sis Qiu, please don’t make fun of my cultivation speed, okay? By the way, I came here to ask for your help, and you have to help me create a technique."
"A technique for turning humans into beasts, right?"
"That’s right!" Xuanyuan Yue sat down beside her. "To create it, you can probably use a method similar to the demon creation manual."
Yun Jingqiu shook her head. "The demon creation manual uses the darkness element, remember? If we use a similar method, they might also turn into demon beasts."
"Then?"
Yun Jingqiu thought for a moment. "Rather than using that technique as a guide, you should probably use something else."
"Such as?"
"Do you remember Mother Ling Ling?"
