The Unruly Immortals

Feeling the soft skin he held in his hands, Li Huowang's heart pounded excitedly. After searching for so long, he had finally found it!

This person was the key to escaping the illusion! Day and night, he yearned for this moment!

His mind was truly a mess now, but his body remained incredibly calm.

In such chaotic circumstances, even the Astrological Bureau couldn't notice Li Huowang's actions. They were busy combating the Da Liang National Master and the Astronomical Bureau.

Just like that, when the two of them reached the edge of the battlefield, only Xinsu Bei Feng realized something was amiss. "Wait! Who are you! Why are there nine Hong Zhongs!"

Li Huowang was just about to explain when Bei Feng suddenly looked up and their eyes met.

"Let me explain to you," Li Huowang began, his mouth opening, only to shockingly discover his voice had turned feminine, and at this moment, the one supporting him was actually his own body—he and Bei Feng had swapped bodies.

Looking at Li Huowang, trapped within his own body, Bei Feng's face showed a trace of smugness, "Ahh, look who it is—if it isn't Hong Zhong? What's the matter, tired of being Hong Zhong and want to play Bei Feng for a few days? Okay, okay, I agree."

Li Huowang looked at the body that had been snatched from him, yet there was no sign of panic on his face. "Do you think I didn't anticipate this move? I forgot to tell you, this body isn't just mine anymore, Suisui! Now is the time to strike! She's already switched!"

Bei Feng's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively prepared to act, but a heart-wrenching pain disrupted her, so intense it felt like her sense of pain had been magnified many times over, making it almost unbearable for her.

However, it didn't end there; Li Sui's tentacles swiftly emerged from all orifices, wrapping around the eyes, blocking the mouth, emerging from the nostrils, swiftly depriving Bei Feng of all five senses, a strategy they had long agreed upon.

Since the Astrological Bureau had already informed him that Xinsu Bei Feng was highly skilled at body swapping, how could Li Huowang not be prepared?

Just as a thunderbolt ruthlessly struck down beside Li Huowang, he carried Bei Feng and dashed out.

In all the chaos, no one noticed them, and Li Huowang quickly left the battlefield behind. The commotion seemed to intensify, but Li Huowang no longer cared because he now had what he wanted.

Stopping by a gold wall corner, Li Huowang caught his breath and looked at Xinsu Bei Feng who had taken over his body. "Alright, Suisui, retract the tentacles from her ears and mouth. I want to talk to her!"

At his words, the tentacles writhing out from deep within the throat quickly coiled back.

Li Huowang looked at his own body, calming his excited heart before finally speaking: "I don't care what your Oblivion Path is up to with such a grand show of force, just give me what I want and I can let you go right away."

Hearing this, not a trace of worry showed on Bei Feng's face; instead, she remarked in admiration, "Truly impressive. To dare fish in troubled waters during the fight between the Astrological Bureau and the Oblivion Path, and to actually succeed, you are indeed worthy of being Hong Zhong."

Li Huowang pulled out a small shovel from his hem, grabbed his own hand, and directly scooped into the gap under the fingernail.

Accompanied by the ripping sound of flesh and blood, his thin fingernails were torn off. Bei Feng seemed to try to endure the feeling, but his index finger still trembled with pain, and he broke into a cold sweat.

"My body has undergone three Cangqiong Ascensions, and my sense of pain has been greatly amplified. A minor scrape feels like the severe pain of a severed limb to me. Time is precious for everyone, you definitely wouldn't want to endure torture worse than this, right?"

As he spoke, Li Huowang's finger plunged straight into his belly button, reaching in to hook something slippery.

"Ha... ha..." Bei Feng trembled intensely from the pain but managed to laugh. "Ao Jing Sect? You're from the Ao Jing Sect? If you're in trouble, why don't you go plead with your valley god Bahu? Why would you come to seek us, the Oblivion Path?"

Li Huowang swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "You're Xinsu, right? I want to know how you got rid of the identity of Xinsu, how you got rid of those illusions."

"Oh?" Bei Feng's voice took on a hint of surprise. "So you went through all the trouble of bringing me here just to talk about this? You should have said so earlier! You were so eager in the chase; I thought it was something serious! So it turns out you want the Cultivation Technique."

"You didn't have to go through such trouble at all; if you had just asked me before, I would definitely have told you."

"What?" The other's words made Li Huowang frown deeply,

"Sigh." Bei Feng let out a sad sigh and began to speak sorrowfully.

"I am also Xinsu, so of course, I understand the suffering of our kind, that pain of not being able to distinguish between the two sides. I can truly empathize."

"So, naturally, I would be happy to see all Xinsus rid themselves of this pain, but sadly there are too few Xinsus."

Li Huowang's imitation of Bei Feng's facial skin twitched slightly. He didn't believe a word of this spiel. "Don't beat around the bush! If you don't want to suffer, quickly tell me that method!"

"Fine, I'll tell you. Can't you stop pulling? This is your own body, after all, and you'll be the one living in it later."

"Now I'm going to say it, but before you practice this technique, you need to know a few things. First, why do we Xinsus have illusions surrounding us."

"You don't have to explain that part; I already know. It's because of the Innate Qi within our bodies."

"Oh? You seem quite knowledgeable, then. Alright, I'll continue from there. To get rid of the illusions, you must, like me, gain complete control over this Innate Qi. But of course, you can't do it alone; naturally, you'll need help from the true master of this Innate Qi—Doumu."

"Wait a minute!" Li Huowang cut him off instantly, his face darkening as he said, "What exactly are you trying to do by dragging me into the business of the Oblivion Path's Fate Commander? Don't try to deceive me! The Fate Commander controlled by Doumu Taiyin deals in falsehood!"

Bei Feng sighed helplessly, "What is truth? What is falsehood? Can you tell the difference? Everyone says that what we of the Oblivion Path cultivate is false, but did they also tell you that we cultivate truth as well? The Fate Commander of Doumu is different from the others; it's like the Twin Lotus in that pond. One is Doumu Taiyin, ruling over falsehood, and the other is Doumu Taiyang, in charge of truth."

"The Heavenly Dao of Yin and Yang is different from other Daos. For other Daos, what exists, exists; what doesn't, doesn't. But truth and falsehood are opposite existences within the Dao; truth's opposite is falsehood. Without truth, there's no falsehood; without falsehood, there's no truth. Do you understand what I'm saying at all?"
