Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls

"What is this?"

Liu Qingdai gazed at the devil seed emitting ink-colored flames before her, an overwhelming sense of crisis surging within her heart.

Her divine soul trembled!

BUZZ!

However, she couldn't resist. Even uninjured, she wouldn't have been able to resist; she could only watch helplessly as the devil seed burrowed into the space between her eyebrows.

"Ah!"

Liu Qingdai immediately let out a cry of agony.

BOOM!

Ink-colored flames burst forth from within her body, instantly engulfing her and turning her into a figure of fire.

Liu Qingdai's expression was one of excruciating pain as the ink-colored flames morphed into devil runes that etched themselves upon her skin.

"You're not Hua Yourong! You are... Si Nanyan!" Liu Qingdai screamed in agony, but still abruptly lifted her head to stare intently at Hua Yourong, or rather... at Si Nanyan.

Only one person could harbor such hatred towards her own father and herself, and be powerful enough that even Wen Zhixing, knowing something was amiss, wouldn't dare to confront her directly. That person could only be Si Nanyan, she realized.

"You're quite a clever little thing, but it's too late," Si Nanyan giggled mischievously, her eyes full of delight. "This is a devil seed refined by a Fifth Realm devil race expert, you know. You're getting a real bargain here."

This time, she had originally planned to forcefully control the four great devil generals with Feng Ruoli's help after returning to the Wonderous Palace.

Unexpectedly, those four harbored treacherous thoughts and had already chosen to cut their losses and flee, metaphorically cutting off their own tails to survive on the way back. Indeed, the four great devil generals had never truly intended to serve Hua Yourong.

They had directly abandoned their most precious devil cores and physical bodies, using a secret devil race technique to shed most of their flesh and divine souls. Only a small fragment of their original divine souls remained, quietly possessing other creatures.

By the time Si Nanyan realized something was wrong, it was already too late. She mainly hadn't expected the four great devil generals to be so ruthless. It was tantamount to discarding everything they had built and starting over from scratch.

Si Nanyan was inwardly surprised. These members of the devil race are truly decisive, she thought.

However, it didn't really matter to her. With these discarded bodies, she could still refine devil seeds. These few devil bodies could even have other valuable uses.

As for the havoc the escaped devil generals might wreak upon the world, she couldn't care less, nor would she bother herself with it. In the end, it would be the Righteous Sun Sect facing the headache.

It's like killing two birds with one stone, she mused.

BUZZ!

Just then, Liu Qingdai cried out in pain once more. All the flames on her body converged, transforming into an incredibly pure black seed that plunged into her Sea of Sense.

The devil seed pulsed gently, and the ink-colored qi began to invade her Sea of Sense.

Liu Qingdai felt her divine soul shudder violently as her Sea of Sense was rapidly contaminated.

The Clear Heart Incantation!

In an instant, she remembered the secret skill Wen Zhixing had given her. She finally understood the purpose of this secret skill: it was all to help her retain her final sliver of consciousness.

A cool sensation spread within her mind, enveloping a wisp of her awareness and easing her suffering somewhat.

Liu Qingdai's heart relaxed slightly, but she dared not become complacent and began to continuously recite the Clear Heart Incantation, striving to keep her mind in its last vestiges of clarity.

However, what Wen Zhixing didn't know was that the devil seed Si Nanyan used this time was far stronger than any previous ones. The Clear Heart Incantation was completely powerless against this devil seed's encroachment.

Sure enough, as time passed, the effects of the Clear Heart Incantation slowly waned. The refreshing current was consumed, and Liu Qingdai's gaze began to lose all focus.

How... how could this be... Liu Qingdai despaired, feeling herself losing her sense of self.

Within her Sea of Sense, the devil seed was sprouting a devil shadow that began to wriggle and swagger triumphantly.

This body will soon be mine! I'm going to be reborn! the devil shadow rejoiced.

Nearby, Si Nanyan watched all this unfold in silence.

This devil seed was no ordinary one. Ordinary devil seeds required an extremely long time just for the sowing and germination phase, let alone the period needed for a devil soul to emerge.

For example, Shen Lingjun and the others nearby had been implanted with ordinary devil seeds; their Seas of Sense were merely compromised, and they had lost their sense of self, but they hadn't been completely replaced by the devil seeds yet.

The devil seed in Liu Qingdai, however, was different. As soon as it was planted, the devil soul began to proliferate rapidly. It wouldn't be long before it completely supplanted Liu Qingdai's divine soul. The strength of the devil soul was also vastly different.

"Using such a high-level devil seed on a little girl is a bit of a waste, really," Si Nanyan said, her words feigning regret, but the sheer delight in her eyes was unmistakable.

These are all bargaining chips, leverage to use against Liu Qingxuan!

Liu Qingxuan, your daughter is in my hands now. Let's see how you'll fight me! A look of sheer delight spread across Si Nanyan's face.

I should even find a few more sons-in-law for Liu Qingxuan right now! she mused, her thoughts taking a gleeful turn.

Just as Liu Qingdai was on the brink of utter despair, a faint disturbance arose from the deepest recesses of her Sea of Sense.

It was an extremely ethereal figure. Before him, a weak flame burned softly.

"Hah... This Nirvana Flame. It has finally been successfully planted," the figure said, slowly opening his eyes. The flame illuminated his features—it was none other than Liu Qingxuan.

However, it was clear that this was some form of divine soul avatar, not his true body.

Ever since Liu Qingdai had nearly met with disaster last time, Liu Qingxuan had used a secret skill to sever a sliver of his soul and place it within her Sea of Sense. This secret skill caused him great harm, but for his daughter's sake, Liu Qingxuan had done it without hesitation.

His first purpose was to protect Liu Qingdai. If she faced a true life-or-death crisis, this wisp of his soul would awaken. His second purpose was to help Liu Qingdai plant this Nirvana Flame.

Liu Qingxuan, who had gifted the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed to Wen Zhixing, naturally had other equally precious treasures for his own daughter.
