This would be the next time the male lead's body switched to his second personality, the body would transform into the gender corresponding to that personality.
Furthermore, when the body's gender transformed, its abilities would no longer be limited by the male lead's body's tolerance, allowing it to exert Earth Realm strength commensurate with the Three-Star Soul Realm.
Of course, this was only usable if Xin Ci, the main personality, was in a coma or had voluntarily relinquished control of the body.
In normal circumstances, forcibly occupying the body would still only grant ten seconds of control.
However, Mu Qingqing was merely a second personality, and each time she forcibly took control of the body while Xin Ci, the main personality, was conscious, it would result in a period where the personalities could not switch again.
Meanwhile, Xin Ci remained puzzled by the two energy vortexes within him and inquired of Elder Han.
With the aid of the Soul Condensing Incense, Elder Han's soul body had solidified considerably, no longer existing in its prior state of a weak, residual soul.
Yet, he too was surprised by the two energy vortexes within Xin Ci, appearing as if he had never heard of such a phenomenon.
After a long period of contemplation, Elder Han could only deduce, "Based on my analysis, there are two possibilities."
"First, the 'Eternal Dao Scripture' was the cultivation technique of the Eternal Emperor in his prime. His strength was so immense that he could stand alone against the ages, and the two energy vortexes might be a unique characteristic of this technique."
"Second, the second energy vortex could very well be caused by the mysterious cultivation technique in your Sea of Consciousness."
"Personally, I lean towards the latter."
Listening to Elder Han's explanation, Xin Ci gained some understanding.
However, having two energy vortexes was not necessarily a bad thing. Although the spiritual energy required for breakthroughs was greater, his own spiritual energy reserves and recovery speed far surpassed that of an ordinary Yellow Realm cultivator.
After breaking through to the Yellow Realm, the effectiveness of Human-tier martial skills became less pronounced, and it was time to cultivate Spirit-tier martial skills.
The [Five Styles of Judgment] he obtained last time was a mid-grade Spirit-tier martial skill.
Logically, Spirit-tier martial skills should be difficult to cultivate, but upon opening the manual, Xin Ci found his thoughts unusually clear.
In less than half an incense stick's worth of time, he had preliminarily mastered the basic operations of the five styles.
Xin Ci was also surprised, and it was at this moment that he realized his soul power had somehow broken through to the Three-Star Soul Realm!
Even Elder Han grumbled, "Kid, how can you be so strange? I haven't seen you cultivate your soul power at all, yet your breakthrough speed is even faster than your spiritual energy realm!"
Though his soul power was high, it felt as if it wasn't his own, and its effectiveness was limited.
"I've been out collecting firewood for some time now; I need to return immediately to avoid them becoming suspicious."
As soon as he emerged from the crystal space, Xin Ci could sense that his soul's detection range had expanded considerably.
His expression changed slightly.
More people had appeared around Su Baiwei.
Xin Ci hid in the jungle without making a sound, cautiously observing what was happening.
He saw a young man wearing a jade crown and with a fair complexion, holding a jade flute, standing opposite Su Baiwei with a playful and arrogant demeanor.
Two arrogant and haughty young servants followed by his side.
"Miss Baiwei, have you considered? Either you yield this clearing, or you stay behind to serve my young master."
One of the servants said with a sinister grin.
"Pah! Who does your young master think he is, demanding our young lady give up this clearing? And you want our young lady to serve you?
"It's like a toad lusting after swan meat, a pipe dream!"
Su Bei, eager to protect his mistress, immediately cursed without restraint.
They had already lit a fire and were preparing to rest here for the night.
Suddenly, this fellow who called himself Young Master Jade Flute emerged from the woods and unreasonably demanded they leave.
Perhaps Su Bei's words were too harsh, especially when he called them toads, the face of Young Master Jade Flute clearly darkened.
The servants noticed the change in their young master's expression and inwardly cried, "It's over, the young master has been angered by this servant."
Before anyone could react, Young Master Jade Flute casually swept the jade flute in his hand, and a green sword energy shot out.
"Noisy insect."
The sword energy was aimed at Su Bei, who had unknowingly angered him.
Su Bei could only stare blankly as the sword energy approached him, his face etched with despair.
He was merely a Body Refinement Third Stage servant and was completely unable to resist the sword energy unleashed by Young Master Jade Flute.
However, just as the sword energy was about to reach Su Bei's face, Su Baiwei decisively drew her long sword and blocked in front of him, thus deflecting the sword energy.
And she glared coldly at Young Master Jade Flute.
"Young Master Jade Flute, to rashly attack my servant in front of me, this is going too far!"
"Haha, Miss Baiwei, have you not taught your servants their place? A servant should act like a servant!"
"To dare be so presumptuous in front of me, I am merely disciplining this ignorant insect for you. Miss Baiwei should be thanking me."
"Young Master Jade Flute, there's no need for further words. If you wish to fight, I am ready to oblige at any time!"
Su Baiwei pointed her long sword at Young Master Jade Flute, her words showing no sign of retreat.
The atmosphere froze, and the two sides gradually became confrontational.
"Then let us see who is truly skilled."
Young Master Jade Flute narrowed his eyes. Although the beautiful Su Baiwei captivated him, he would never tolerate being defied.
At worst, he would forcefully take the woman and then enjoy her at his leisure.
As the wind blew fallen leaves, both of them moved simultaneously.
The clash of blades mingled with faint sparks echoed through the forest.
The servants on both sides were cheering for their young master and lady.
Only Xin Ci hid in the shadows of the grass, secretly observing the battle between the two.
