Volume 11, Chapter 734 – Come, Completely Feminize Me (Part 4)

Qi Huang concentrated, carefully sharing Lu Yao’s memories; the information and methods related to that assimilative power gradually became clear to her.

The Assimilation Dao named its own “pink true qi” the “Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi,” meaning immortal qi that weaves beautiful dreams. Places assimilated by the “Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi” are collectively called “Pink Dreamscape”, and all beings assimilated are called “Dream-Entrants”.

Qi Huang reviewed her experiences after turning into a girl; it truly felt like an unreal dream, making the label “Dream-Entrant” perfectly fitting.

As An Xuan had explained before, this Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi, when “assimilating” a being, divides from shallow to deep into five levels: half-feminization, feminization, semi-assimilation, assimilation, and thought-assimilation.

The first level is half-feminization: it partially or completely changes a male creature’s body into a female one.

The second level is feminization: it fully transforms a male’s body or soul into a female, at which point the creature falls completely into femininity.

Of course, if the creature is already female, her body and soul will also be reconfigured, becoming entirely different from lifeforms under the Five Elements Heavenly Dao; the same applies to other lifeless matter.

These first two levels are collectively called “Shallow Dream” by the Assimilation Dao.

The third level is semi-assimilation, which makes a person’s body become exactly like the assimilator’s, regardless of whether they were male or female.

The fourth level is assimilation, which goes further: it makes both a person’s body and soul identical to the assimilator’s. Qi Huang’s current appearance was the result of being assimilated by Cheng Ling.

The fifth level is thought-assimilation, which wholly enslaves a being’s mind, turning them into a puppet, just like the several female spirits of Qi Huang.

Therefore, the latter three levels are deeper in effect and are called “Deep Dream” by the Assimilation Dao.

These five levels increase from shallow to deep, and the casting methods and required conditions differ. Qi Huang quickly received the casting method through the memory sharing. As for the conditions: Shallow Dream only requires contact with the Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi, while Deep Dream requires inheriting the Assimilation Dao’s blood. Thought-assimilation is accomplished via a peculiar method of using divine sense, called “mental corrosion”.

Once Qi Huang understood some of this, the riddles in her head unraveled: the reason she had been assimilated was that when she had worn a mask she accidentally cut her cheek, which allowed Cheng Ling’s blood to invade her.

As for why An Xuan said only those who reached the Immortal realm could use the Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi, it was because An Xuan herself had been merely a Shallow Dream-Entrant altered by the Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi, not a Deep Dream-Entrant who had inherited Assimilation Dao blood. Deep Dream-Entrants who had inherited the blood, like Cheng Ling, faced no real restrictions when using the Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi; as long as one reached the Unity Realm and could look inward, that sufficed.

What delighted Qi Huang even more was that although a Dream-Entrant’s bodily and soul feminization could not be reversed, mental corrosion could be resisted, provided your divine sense was stronger than the other’s.

Qi Huang calculated carefully: if she could wake up in time, there might still be chance to resist Cheng Ling’s mental corrosion; even if she were completely turned into a woman, her core consciousness could survive. Conversely, if she remained unconscious too long and thought-assimilation completed, she would become a total puppet, unaware and unable to resist. That would be equivalent to death.

Qi Huang had once thought that being completely turned into a woman was worse than death, but when faced with real death she understood that even an ant clings to life; compared with becoming a woman, death was the more terrifying outcome.

Understanding her current predicament, Qi Huang fought desperately, striving to regain consciousness.

At that time in the dream, the Immortal Alliance’s people had all arrived. Under the leadership of the chief and deputy chiefs, they attacked Lu Yao’s field of Yin energy with all their might. Unfortunately, whatever divine arts they used, the instant they touched the Yin energy they were completely corroded, unable at all to break in.

“How strong exactly is this zombie?” Deputy Alliance Master Tu Wen’s face showed nothing but shock.

“The miasma she released can corrode space. This zombie’s strength has absolutely reached late Heavenly Demon or even peak levels,” said Quan Fengtian with a grave expression.

“What? Late Heavenly Demon or even peak? How is that possible? We immortals always strive to eradicate evil spirits; in the Immortal Realm no zombie should be able to grow to such a degree. Where on earth did she come from?” Tu Wen asked, unbelieving.

“You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Deputy Tu, you brought this zombie back without understanding her background. If she absorbs that foreign Dao force and escapes, the consequences will be endless.” Quan Fengtian demanded sharply.

“Escape? Master Quan, you’re being overconfident. If we don’t come up with a plan, it may be us who’ll escape today, there won’t be an ‘after’ to speak of.” Tu Wen retorted angrily, thinking the old man had brought the zombie back to feed on and now had the gall to blame him alone.

Quan Fengtian took a deep breath to suppress his anger. After a moment’s thought he said, “It seems we must use that item.”

“Which item?” Tu Wen first looked puzzled, then shocked: “You mean that strand of hair? If we use that, whether it succeeds or not, our Immortal Alliance’s main hall, even this entire planet, won’t survive.”

“To deal with this zombie, we can only use it to draw down a sufficiently powerful heavenly tribulation, unless you have a better plan,” Quan Fengtian said through clenched teeth.

“Do it then,” Tu Wen agreed after a brief struggle.

Quan Fengtian immediately vanished from sight, apparently to fetch that hair.

“All the stewards and disciples of the Immortal Alliance, listen: evacuate this planet at once. Take the mortals and cultivators you can. Those you can’t take, let them fend for themselves,” Tu Wen loudly ordered the surrounding disciples, because he understood how terrifying the coming tribulation would be.

At this time Lu Yao was still absorbing the blood from that severed finger, since she sought more than just the method to use the Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi.

“Master, are you done? We have to leave. Who knows what tricks the Immortal Alliance has hidden,” An Xuan said, anxious.

“No. I must use this chance to absorb more blood. It not only increases my strength, but I can also find, among the memory fragments it carries, traces of other remnants of heavenly Dao. That will let me grow quickly,” Lu Yao said.

“Why not just take it away and absorb it slowly?” An Xuan suggested.

“No. I tried just now. With my strength I cannot move it, who knows how the Immortal Alliance brought it back?” Lu Yao slightly relaxed her mouth to explain, then greedily resumed absorbing the blood from the severed finger like a newborn, ravenous. This thing was indeed a remnant of a foreign heavenly Dao; the power it contained was far beyond her current cultivation, so her strength began to increase rapidly. She stood motionless as the surrounding space started to crack.

“Master, stop absorbing. If the space shatters, we’ll fall into the Celestial Realm, then death is likely,” An Xuan warned anxiously.

“It’s fine!” Lu Yao smiled confidently. The Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi inside her spread outward and forcibly devoured the surrounding space inch by inch, creating a separate pink pocket of space around the two of them. This was the Assimilation Dao’s domain, the “Pink Dreamscape”. Within it, no matter how strong she became she would not break the space. That meant she could henceforth grow freely in the Immortal Realm, no longer bound as before.

By then Quan Fengtian had returned with a wooden box sprinkled with Heaven-Deceiving Water. He looked solemnly at everything around him. “It’s a pity our Immortal Alliance’s main hall, which has been cultivated on this planet for countless years, will be destroyed today.”

“Master, stop lamenting. A mere main hall, finding a better place to rebuild would be easy for us, wouldn’t it?” Tu Wen hurriedly comforted him.

“True. The urgent matter now is to eliminate this evil spirit as quickly as possible.”

As Quan Fengtian spoke he opened the wooden box and flung it toward the Yin energy shield below. A snow-white strand of hair fell out, fluttering down with the breeze.

At the same time, the once cloudless sky surged with black clouds; thunder rolled, purple lightning crisscrossed, and wherever it struck space was torn apart, as if the end of days had come.
