Chapter 846: Giving Birth to a Son and a Daughter

Wuchen could not help but sigh aloud.

Even in the Flying Immortal Temple, one could not find a single magical artifact possessing such a vast amount of the aspirations of all living beings.

After all, the Buddhist method of salvation is essentially akin to persuading people to turn toward the Buddha, which is different from the faith that arises from the depths of a living being's heart.

At this moment, the look in Wuchen's eyes as he gazed at Ye Lin also underwent a subtle change.

To be able to possess such a divine artifact condensed from the aspirations of all living beings, this fellow with the rather peculiar train of thought was certainly not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

After taking out the Human Emperor Flag, Ye Lin released the soul bodies of Liu Ruyan, Kuai Yan, and Zhen Youqian.

Liu Ruyan's soul body was solid, while Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian looked as if their soul bodies had been injured, appearing frighteningly transparent.

"What have you two been doing inside the Human Emperor Flag?" Ye Lin saw that something was wrong at a glance.

"N-nothing at all..." Kuai Yan felt a bit guilty.

"Big Brother... this... I..." Zhen Youqian did not know how to bring it up either.

After all, the time they had spent inside the Human Emperor Flag was simply too absurd.

Honestly, Ban Muming had directly opened up a whole new world for the two of them.

Especially after the primordial spirit of Granny Mad Dragon also appeared inside the Human Emperor Flag later on, things became even more absurd.

On the first day, Granny Mad Dragon let out miserable, earth-shattering whimpers; Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian, who hated her to the bone, felt a bit of pity, because the things that happened that day were truly too absurd.

On the second day, the two decided to forgive Granny Mad Dragon and let Ban Muming stop torturing her, because the things that happened that day were truly too absurd.

On the third day, the two decided to let Ban Muming continue torturing Granny Mad Dragon, because the things that happened that day were even more absurd.

On the fourth day, the two decided they never wanted to see Granny Mad Dragon again in this lifetime, because the things that happened that day were unimaginably, invincibly absurd.

"Nurture your soul bodies well and recover; I have found suitable physical bodies for the three of you."

Ye Lin could not be bothered to dwell on what they had actually been doing inside the Human Emperor Flag; in any case, he never intended for the three of them to remain as main souls forever.

He directly took out some medicinal pills effective for soul bodies and used them on Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian. With the nourishment of the pills, the two's soul bodies finally became a bit more solid.

"Big Brother, can we really possess new physical bodies right away?" Zhen Youqian asked excitedly.

"Guaranteed."

A mischievous smile appeared on Ye Lin's face.

The physical bodies of the three Hall Masters could be said to be the most suitable for Zhen Youqian and the others; after all, these were the bodies of top-tier experts at the Law Comprehension Realm.

As long as the possession was successful, the three of them would immediately become peak Destiny Realm cultivators, the final phase of the Seven Phases of Spirit!

Next, as long as they passed the Nine Trials of Soul and transformed their three souls and seven spirits into a primordial spirit, they could logically step into the Law Comprehension Realm without encountering any bottlenecks.

When a low-level cultivator possesses a high-level cultivator, it is much easier to integrate and adapt since the soul is weak and the body is strong.

But it is difficult for a high-level cultivator to possess a low-level one; the strong soul and weak body require a vast amount of time to compensate.

It is the same principle as how it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

If you suddenly become a billionaire, it won't take long for you to fully adapt to a wealthy life, but if I throw you into the slums on the other side of the river, guess how long it will take you to adapt?

However, possession also has a drawback: it is almost impossible for the life soul and the physical body to reach one hundred percent compatibility, which is why cultivators do not consider possession under normal circumstances.

Once Kuai Yan and the others reached the Law Comprehension Realm, if they wanted to climb toward higher realms, this drawback would be infinitely magnified, making it extremely difficult for their cultivation to break through.

But this drawback was not within Ye Lin's scope of concern; at worst, he would just catch a few more bodies with higher realms for Kuai Yan and the others to possess later. Ye Lin had done such beastly things plenty of times before.

"Come, come, come, this way, you three."

Ye Lin led the soul bodies of Liu Ruyan, Kuai Yan, and Zhen Youqian to the physical bodies of the three Hall Masters.

"These three bodies are all top-tier experts at the Fourth Transformation of Law. Choose one for yourselves; the one on the far left is the Hall Master of Greed and Joy, who practices the Dao of Joy; the one in the middle is the Hall Master of Bone Erosion, who practices the Dao of Gu; the one on the far right is the Hall Master of the Evil Mirror, who practices the Dao of Puppetry."

Liu Ruyan's expression did not change, but the complexions of Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian changed instantly.

"Big Brother, if I'm not mistaken, these three bodies are all female, right?" Zhen Youqian asked cautiously.

Kuai Yan did not speak, his vision simply going black again and again.

"Don't be in such a rush, you two. Let me ask you: a stepmother has no blood relation to you, right? So what should you call a stepmother?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhen Youqian pondered for a moment. "Just call her stepmother. What else would I call her?"

"Wrong answer. A stepmother has no blood relation to you, so you should call her a 'pseudo-mother'!" Ye Lin said with excitement.

Zhen Youqian: "..."

Kuai Yan: "..."

"So, do we really have to become these 'pseudo-mothers'?" Zhen Youqian was on the verge of tears.

"Actually, you can't really count as 'pseudo-mothers' because you are inorganic matter."

Ye Lin waved his hand.

"Cultivators practice to defy the heavens; what does it matter if the body is male or female? I once knew a guy named Bai-something-Bing. After he was turned into a woman by someone, not only did he not fall into depravity, but he instead believed that since everyone dies eventually, one might as well leave behind something brilliant, and he eventually became a world-renowned female immortal!"

Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian were both silent, clearly finding it difficult to accept this fact.

"Oh, look at the bright side: you could only experience the joy of being a man before, but now you can experience the joy of being a woman too."

"You can even make a mold of yourself; when you have the chance to return to a male body in the future, you can even try out the feeling of being a Japanese person."

Ye Lin began to offer comfort.

"I think... being a main soul in that flag of yours was actually quite nice." Kuai Yan wore a smile that was uglier than crying.

Although they found it extremely difficult to accept internally, the reality was already before them, and they could only helplessly accept it.

To Ye Lin's surprise, Liu Ruyan did not choose the body of the Hall Master of Greed and Joy, but instead chose that of the Hall Master of the Evil Mirror.

"I had no choice before, but now that I finally have a chance to start over, I don't want to walk the Dao of Joy again."

Liu Ruyan spoke calmly. In reality, her Heavenly Demon Ultimate Bliss Art progressed very slowly if she only relied on absorbing Yang energy; only true Yin-Yang union could lead to rapid progress.

But Liu Ruyan was truly unwilling to make herself a woman of easy virtue just for the sake of cultivation.

Ye Lin also chose to respect Liu Ruyan's decision. In the end, Liu Ruyan entered the body of the Hall Master of the Evil Mirror, Zhen Youqian became the Hall Master of Bone Erosion, and Kuai Yan became the Hall Master of Greed and Joy...

Liu Ruyan was fine, as she was a woman to begin with.

Zhen Youqian and Kuai Yan suffered greatly; the completely different body structures made them feel incredibly strange, and they couldn't even maintain their balance while walking.

Looking at his new body, a top-tier young beauty, Zhen Youqian was beyond tears.

"How am I supposed to explain this to my parents when I return to the Nuhai Dynasty? The two old folks have really 'given birth to a son and a daughter' this time..."
