Volume 10, Chapter 669 – How Can One Person Have Two Spiritual Wisdom Souls

Ai Xing’s gaze slipped without obstruction into the Immortal Alliance headquarters. She quickly realized that these Yin-Yang Eyes not only had the ability to see through objects but also possessed vision thousands of times sharper than that of ordinary eyes. This meant she could clearly see things several li, even dozens of li, away.

More importantly, sight was different from Divine Sense, no matter how powerful a cultivator was, they could not detect it.

Ai Xing felt as though she had become an immortal. Wherever her gaze fell, nothing could remain a secret, while the other party remained oblivious to her existence. That sensation of holding the entire world in her hands made her unconsciously sink into obsession.

Thus, Ai Xing brazenly spied upon the interior of the Immortal Alliance headquarters, hoping to find something that could benefit the Severed Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, it was already late at night, and the disciples of the Immortal Alliance had either returned to their quarters to sleep or were cultivating. She found herself at a loss with nowhere to start.

Her gaze drifted about the headquarters like a headless fly. Not long after, she suddenly felt a faint soreness in both eyes.

“What is going on? Have my eyes still not fully healed?”

Confused, Ai Xing rubbed her eyes. At that moment, however, she was drawn to a particular courtyard, for it seemed to contain a woman’s cry for help.

‘What is going on now?’

Ai Xing was baffled. After all, the Immortal Alliance styled itself as the government office of the cultivation world; hearing someone shout for help inside was far too abnormal.

Her curiosity swelled, and she forced herself to bear the discomfort as she fixed her gaze on the courtyard.

Not long after, the guards outside rushed in and pinned the screaming woman to the ground, beating her savagely.

During the struggle, Ai Xing quickly pieced together the truth. The two or three dozen women in this courtyard were being used by the Immortal Alliance as bait to lure out Golden Fate Blossoms. What shocked her even more was that more than ten of them had actually been secretly abducted by the Immortal Alliance.

“Abducted?”

Ai Xing could hardly believe what she was seeing. She had always thought the Severed Immortal Sect already had no bottom line, yet the Immortal Alliance was no better.

“And this cesspit of filth dares to call our Holy Sect a demonic cult?”

Ai Xing sneered with contempt. But then she realized, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to ruin the Immortal Alliance’s reputation?

By now, however, the stinging pain in her eyes had become clear and sharp, forcing tears to well up, her vision turning blurry.

Unable to endure, Ai Xing quickly fitted the pair of “protective membranes”. These were actually her original corneas, which, after being treated by Divine Physician Sun, could now be detached and worn at will. Once in place, they replaced the Yin-Yang Eyes while also serving as protection and disguise.

After resting for a while, waiting until the discomfort in her eyes had eased somewhat, Ai Xing picked up the Thousand-Mile Communication Tube and contacted the Severed Immortal Sect’s leader, reporting everything she had just seen.

“Hahaha! Beloved consort, you have truly rendered a great service to the Holy Sect this time. If this scandal were to spread, the Immortal Alliance’s reputation would be gravely damaged, and endless troubles would follow.”

The Sect Leader burst into hearty laughter.

“Should I spread the word immediately then?”

Ai Xing asked eagerly, desperate for merit.

“No. You have no proof. Even if the matter were spread, it would cause only a ripple at most, and it carries the risk of exposing you. This Sect paid a heavy price to obtain those Yin-Yang Eyes, you must not act rashly.”

The Sect Leader stopped her immediately, then after a moment’s thought said, “Here’s what you should do: continue to observe that courtyard. Find out the identities of the abducted girls, then report back to me. I will send word to their families, and let them put pressure on the Immortal Alliance themselves.”

“Brilliant, Sect Leader. Once their families learn the truth, they will never rest until the Immortal Alliance is destroyed.”

Ai Xing hurried to flatter him.

“Indeed. I am eager to see how the Immortal Alliance deals with this matter!”

The Sect Leader spoke with malicious glee.

“By the way, I must also report something. I just used the Yin-Yang Eyes, and now my eyes feel extremely sore and stabbing. I fear I won’t be able to continue my watch tonight.”

Ai Xing forced herself to confess.

“Such a thing?”

The Sect Leader’s suspicious voice echoed, then he analyzed: “It is likely because your eyes have not fully recovered yet.”

“That was my thought as well.”

Ai Xing quickly agreed.

“In that case, rest for now. Once your eyes recover, resume your observation.”

The Sect Leader gave a considerate instruction, for the Yin-Yang Eyes were of paramount importance to the Severed Immortal Sect.

“Thank you for your understanding, Sect Leader!”

Ai Xing was deeply moved. Their conversation ended there.

Afterwards, she went to sleep. The next morning, when she woke, her eyes still felt sore, so she turned her attention to managing her brothel.

By noon, her eyes felt much better, so she resumed monitoring the courtyard where Qi Huang and the others stayed, focusing especially on the abducted women.

During this time, Ai Xing’s gaze passed unintentionally over Cheng Hongling. Her expression froze for a moment before returning.

She carefully examined Cheng Hongling’s Sea of Consciousness, then murmured in confusion, “Strange… why is her Spiritual Wisdom Soul bound up?”

No matter how she thought about it, Ai Xing could not understand. She continued her inspection, but the stabbing pain in her eyes flared again, blurring her vision, forcing her to stop.

As for Qi Huang nearby, Ai Xing did not look too closely. After all, it was common for cultivators to have a doppelgänger. Still, a faint sense of doubt nagged at her heart, as if something were amiss.

By now, Ai Xing understood that using the Yin-Yang Eyes carried a time limit. So for the rest of the day, she refrained from wasting them on irrelevant people and focused solely on the abducted women. By nightfall, she had already confirmed the identities of several of them and promptly reported to the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader immediately sent people to notify the girls’ families, determined to plunge the Immortal Alliance into ruin.

That night, Ai Xing tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Partly because her eyes pulsed with discomfort, partly because she felt she had overlooked something important. Again and again, the image of Cheng Hongling surfaced in her mind.

Agitated and restless, she knew she could not sleep until she resolved the matter. She rose, lit a candle, and carefully peeled off her corneas, exposing the Yin-Yang Eyes once more.

She turned her gaze toward the Immortal Alliance headquarters, targeting Cheng Hongling.

At that moment, Cheng Hongling was seated cross-legged on her bed, cultivating. She had always possessed a strong sense of pride, never relying solely on her doppelgänger to increase her strength.

Qi Huang, meanwhile, was asleep inside, needing time to find a way to use Assimilation Qi.

Due to the unique nature of the Yin-Yang Eyes, neither the main body nor the doppelgänger sensed they were being watched.

Ai Xing examined Cheng Hongling’s Sea of Consciousness again, finding it the same as the previous night: that pitiful Spiritual Wisdom Soul still bound, while the surrounding souls ignored it completely.

‘She must have made a mistake and been punished by her main body.’

So Ai Xing speculated. Though she was not a cultivator, as the Sect Leader’s concubine, she knew a fair amount about the three ethereal souls and seven corporeal souls.

‘But what exactly is wrong here?’

She sank into thought, but the increasing sting in her eyes made it impossible to focus, her vision drifting.

Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she noticed Qi Huang lying within, and at her brow glowed the words “Spiritual Wisdom”.

“This… how can this be?”

Ai Xing’s whole body trembled. At last, she realized what was wrong. Wasn’t Cheng Hongling’s Spiritual Wisdom Soul tied up within her Sea of Consciousness? Then where had this other Spiritual Wisdom Soul come from?

“Have I broken these Yin-Yang Eyes? How can one person have two Spiritual Wisdom Souls?”

Ai Xing rubbed her eyes hard in disbelief.
