Chapter 1691: Soul Merge

*Drip... Drip...*

Even though they were female immortals, Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue were horrified to see Ling Yun’s body, with blood flowing profusely from all over it.

Like her two friends, Dongfang Qinzhi also felt horrified by Ling Yun’s condition. She wanted to reduce the use of her qi in her technique, but he forced her not to; instead, he asked her to use more of it.

"Don’t worry, Senior. Even though my condition looks terrible, I don’t feel the pain at all."

’Not feeling any pain?’ Dongfang Qinzhi, Liao Shuzhen, and Bai Xuanyue were shocked. The three women could see that all his injuries were recovering quickly, but his recovery speed was outpaced by the continuous attacks of ten thousand beasts. ’This kid is crazier than his predecessor!’

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue exchanged glances with some absurd thoughts in their minds.

Dongfang Qinzhi was the most uneasy because she was the one who attacked Ling Yun. ’Sigh! This kid is indeed crazy, but his recovery speed is truly extraordinary, and his skin is much thicker than other cultivators.’

"Hehehe." Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue raised their eyebrows at Long Hun. "What? Why are you two looking at me like that? You two only met him today, but I’ve known him since the first day he inherited my bloodline. Trust me, this kid has been trained in situations much more dire than these."

"Where did he train during that time, Senior Hun?"

"Who accompanied him to practice at that time, Grandpa Hun?"

"No one." Long Hun’s answer confused them. "Haven’t you guys learned his clone technique? He trained with his ten clones in the dream space, and he trained there for billions of years."

"Are you kidding me?"

"What do you mean by the dream space?"

Long Hun sighed before touching their foreheads, sharing some memories of Ling Yun training with his clones in the dream space. "Even though it’s a dream space, he and his clones can enter it using their bodies. Besides, he can control the flow of time there at will, which is very beneficial for his training."

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue closed their eyes, looking at all Long Hun’s memories of Ling Yun and his clones training. They gasped in shock when they saw the way he trained inside the dream space. ’If it weren’t for the Primordial Chaos Dragon Bloodline in his body and his innate ability, he would have died long ago due to his own madness.’

"Perverted Dragon! Share those memories with me!"

Long Hun moved next to Dongfang Qinzhi and shared them, and he also shared some other memories with her. He grinned playfully and immediately moved away from her, waiting for her next reaction after she saw all the memories. ’Ha ha ha! She will be furious in a moment.’

"Hmm?" Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue looked at Dongfang Qinzhi as her zither playing stopped. Her face was completely red, down to the tips of her ears, her hands hanging over her zither trembling, as was her body.

Ling Yun was confused by Dongfang Qinzhi’s sudden zither playing, but he could tell the female immortal was enraged from her red face. He looked at Long Hun, who was grinning madly at him. "What did you do to her, Old Dragon?"

Upon hearing that, Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue exchanged glances with raised eyebrows directed at Long Hun.

"What have you done to Qinzhi, Grandpa Hun? Why is she so angry?"

"Tell us the truth, Senior Hun."

"Hehehe." Long Hun touched the foreheads of both women, sharing the same memories he had shared with Dongfang Qinzhi earlier. After that, he said nothing more and entered Ling Yun’s soul space. ’Good luck, kids! I’ve helped you as much as I can, and everything is up to you.’

’Hey! What did you do to them, Old Dragon?’ Long Hun didn’t answer Ling Yun, and he observed Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue’s expressions. Just like Dongfang Qinzhi, he could see their faces turning as red as ripe tomatoes, making him realize everything. ’Crap! Old Dragons must have shared those memories with them!’

"Perverted Dragon! I will kill you once again!" Dongfang Qinzhi’s voice resounded like a thunderclap, startling everyone living in the residence. "Where did that perverted dragon go?"

Unlike Dongfang Qinzhi, Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue’s emotions did not explode, but they were really embarrassed to see Ling Yun, so they immediately disappeared from the training ground.

Ling Yun rubbed his nose while pointing at his own chest. "He is hiding inside my soul space, Senior."

Dongfang Qinzhi’s face turned red with rage, and her killing intent quickly spread throughout the residence. "Summon him! I will kill him!"

"Unfortunately, I can’t do that, Senior." Ling Yun smiled bitterly. "I advise you not to enter my soul space, or the old dragon will make you miserable."

"What do you mean? Are you trying to protect him from me?" Dongfang Qinzhi asked in a high-pitched voice filled with anger.

"No... no..." Ling Yun waved both hands. "If you enter my soul space, you—"

"Humph!" Dongfang Qinzhi snorted angrily, and a bit of her soul came out of her body before entering Ling Yun’s body.

Ling Yun sighed softly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and entered his soul space.

Dongfang Qinzhi froze in place when she saw Ling Yun’s eleven souls. "This... How..."

After all, Ling Yun has eleven souls formed from eleven different elements: fire soul, wind soul, water soul, ice soul, earth soul, lightning soul, light soul, dark soul, void soul, wood soul, and devil soul.

"Eleven souls?"

"Yes," Ling Yun appeared beside Dongfang Qinzhi. "I have ten different elements, but I have eleven souls."

Dongfang Qinzhi looked at him. "What is your eleventh element?"

"I don’t have an eleventh element."

"Then, how can you have eleven cultivation souls?"

"My eleventh soul is my devil soul."

"What? A devil soul?"

"Yes," Ling Yun explained to Dongfang Qinzhi about how he came to possess a devil soul. "Since then, I have eleven souls, and my devil soul was very disturbing before I met Sheng Ming. Everything changed after I met her, and she helped me by purifying my devil soul."

"Has Sheng Ming truly purified your devil soul?" Dongfang Qinzhi looked around. "Why can I still sense powerful devil qi here?"

Ling Yun sighed. "One of my women has a devil seed in her body, and I bonded my soul with hers so I could suppress the devil seed. Since then, my soul space is filled with devil qi, but it doesn’t affect me because a tiny bit of Sheng Ming’s soul lives here."

Dongfang Qinzhi wanted to go to Sheng Ming’s location, but Ling Yun grabbed her hand to stop her. "What are you doing? Let go of my hand!"

"I can’t do it." Ling Yun shook his head. "Senior, I know you’re angry with the old dragon, but you must not go to that area, or you’ll regret it."

"What do you mean? I—" Dongfang Qinzhi looked at the small object that was rushing towards them, making Ling Yun panic.

Ling Yun wanted to catch the incomplete black dragon statue, but Dongfang Qinzhi caught it first. "Senior-Hiss! Too late!"

Dongfang Qinzhi frowned when the incomplete black dragon statue released two soul threads, which directly connected her soul to Ling Yun’s soul. "What the hell is this?"

"I warn you not to enter my soul space, and this is the risk." Dongfang Qinzhi frowned at Ling Yun. "I can’t control this incomplete black dragon statue, and this statue is under the control of the old dragon. These two soul threads are the connection between our souls, so our souls are connected now."

"What—" Dongfang Qinzhi was shocked, her body trembling violently. "Then—"

"My husband can’t remove them." Sheng Ming’s soul appeared in front of them, pointing to the soul thread connecting her soul with Ling Yun’s. "I tried to remove them, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Long Hun told me that these soul threads cannot be removed, so our souls will be bound to his forever."

"Is this really irremovable?"

Sheng Ming shook her head in response. "From today onward, your soul will be bound to my husband’s."

"Long Hun! Come out now!" Dongfang Qinzhi’s shout was met with silence.

"It’s no use," Sheng Ming sighed. "If Long Hun wanted to hide here, you would never have found him, so there’s no need to waste your energy shouting."

Dongfang Qinzhi inhaled and exhaled several times to calm herself. "Does that mean I can’t leave Ling Yun’s soul space either?"

"No." Sheng Ming patted her shoulder. "My husband warned you not to enter his soul space, but you were too emotional and ignored his warning. Fortunately, you only sent a tiny bit of your soul here; otherwise, you would have been trapped here forever."

"Then, what is the effect of merging our souls?"

Sheng Ming sighed again. "Don’t you already know the consequences? Why must you pretend not to know?"

Dongfang Qinzhi trembled as she staggered backwards. "Impossible! No! I will never accept this! Long Hun! Come out now, you perverted dragon!"

Ling Yun couldn’t say anything and came out of his soul space, seeing Dongfang Qinzhi stunned in place.

Ling Yun approached Dongfang Qinzhi and crouched down in front of her. "Senior, I apologize to you."

"No need." Dongfang Qinzhi stood up and put away her zither. "This isn’t your fault. You forbade me from sending my soul into your soul space, but I didn’t listen to your warning, so you don’t need to apologize to me. This is all that perverted dragon’s fault. I will destroy his soul if he dares to leave your soul space again and appear in front of me."

Ling Yun sighed after Dongfang Qinzhi disappeared. "Old dragon, you’ve really gone too far this time."
