The Fairy nodded, and the Enchantress gaped in shock.
The Fairy was aloof, the Enchantress a blazing inferno.
"Sister, are you serious?"
The Enchantress, whose allure burned to the core, covered her cherry-red lips, disbelief written across her face. She couldn't fathom that the Fairy had taken a liking to that young upstart, Shi Yi.
"I'm quite serious. Such talent belongs in the Heaven-Mending Sect!"
The Fairy didn't deny it. She had indeed taken an interest in Shi Yi. His gifts were wasted in the Lower Realm's Eight Domains. Only by joining the Heaven-Mending Sect could he truly unleash his potential.
"Tch, boring. So that's what you meant by 'liking' him."
The Enchantress pouted, her interest waning. She'd hoped for a juicy tale of love and rivalry, but her sometimes-friend, sometimes-foe sister was merely impressed by Shi Yi's ten Heavenly Passages.
"The Great Dao is merciless. Romantic love is but a shackle. As the heir of the Heaven-Severing Sect, you can't possibly be ignorant of this!"
The Fairy's demeanor remained cold, lofty, and untouchable. From a distance, she was like a celestial moon—seemingly close yet eternally out of reach.
"Your little sister doesn't get it."
As the Enchantress spoke, nine fox tails swayed behind her, her presence utterly captivating.
Mid-sentence, she glided with mesmerizing grace to the Fairy's side, whispering in her ear, "Sister, don't speak so absolutely. This thing called love isn't as simple as you think. Even the loftiest fairy will fall someday. Men, you know, have a thing for making fairies tumble…"
Her words trailed off.
"Disgusting!"
The Fairy struck with a palm, conjuring a phantom true dragon.
The dragon, half-real, half-illusory, carried an unstoppable force and speed, instantly obliterating the Enchantress for her slander.
Decisive. Calm. Ruthless.
No mercy spared.
Yet, in that the moment the nine-tailed Enchantress vanished, a woman in a black dress appeared from thin air.
"Sister, look at you, such a temper! Whoever marry you is in for a world of suffering," the black-clad woman said with a sultry smile.
Clearly, the nine-tailed Enchantress had been a spiritual clone, not her true body. This black-dressed woman was the real Enchantress.
Still just as fiery.
A spiritual clone differed from a dharma body. A dharma body was a non-human race's humanoid transformation, while a spiritual clone was a true avatar.
Spiritual clones were typically nurtured within Heavenly Passages, possessing strength one realm below their creator.
Generally, only those who reached the Venerable Realm, the pinnacle of mortal power, had the strength to nurture spiritual clones to act in their stead, avoiding unpredictable dangers.
Creating a spiritual clone wasn't complex. It could be based on the creator's form or crafted from a cultivated precious technique—like a Qilin Precious Technique birthing a Qilin spiritual clone.
Since the Enchantress's clone had nine fox tails, she had clearly mastered a Nine-Tailed Fox-related technique.
Though the Void God Realm's Second Domain suppressed her strength to the Heavenly Passage Realm, a spiritual clone, born from Heavenly Passages, could still function as long as those passages remained operational.
"Destroying your spiritual clone wasn't enough? Shall I obliterate your true body too?" The Fairy frowned.
Her heart was set on the Dao, on becoming an immortal. She'd never fall for any man, let alone marry. The Enchantress's words were a deliberate insult.
"Your true body? Sister, don't forget, this is the Void God Realm. Everything's fake—you, me, we're just illusory consciousnesses formed from spiritual energy. Our true bodies are in the real world."
The Enchantress giggled, covering her mouth. She knew the Fairy appeared unruffled but was inwardly rattled, even blurting out absurdities like destroying her true body.
Teasing the Fairy was just too fun.
If the Fairy ever fell…
She couldn't imagine it—didn't dare. The thought of the Fairy descending into mortal dust filled the Enchantress with gleeful anticipation.
"No need for reminders. Real world or not, I can still find your true body."
"Alright, sister, don't be mad. Your little sister was just joking. You're destined to be alone forever."

Leaving aside the banter between the Fairy and the Enchantress, Shi Yi was starting to feel a bit… monstrous.
Not mentally monstrous, but his Heavenly Passage Realm strength was monstrously powerful.
His Blood Transformation Realm had been a standard peak, but from the Heavenly Passage Realm onward, he'd been cheating his way through. His Heavenly Passage Realm was no longer something mundane minds could comprehend.
Earth, water, fire, wind. Yin, yang, chaos.
All things in the cosmos resided within.
If nothing else, the fact that Liu Shen—a titan of the Immortal King level—had personally guided Shi Yi in refining his ten Heavenly Passages was unprecedented, it can never to be replicated.
Because of this, Shi Yi truly embodied the nine-colored stone tablet's proclamation: Ten Heavenly Passages, invincible, crushing all prodigies of the Lower Realm's Eight Domains.
"Are all Double-Pupiled ones this powerful?"
"I don't know, but I know those hundred pieces of Primal Treasure Bone aren't that easy to claim!"
"Damn it, he glared me to death with one look."
"Invincible. Truly invincible in the Heavenly Passage Realm. Such a terrifying young supreme—his future is surely divine."
"The Heavenly Passage Realm is about foundation, about potential. With this human youth's talent, divinity isn't his limit. He might even become an immortal!"
"An immortal—eternal, unyielding through countless tribulations."
As time passed—one day, two days, three days, half a month—no one, human or beast, dared risk their essence, spirit, and vitality to challenge Shi Yi. They weren't fools. Shi Yi's ten Heavenly Passages had made him truly invincible in this realm.
They'd tried wearing him down, draining his essence and spirit, but the kid was like an unkillable cockroach. Facing endless assaults for half a month, he remained as vigorous as ever.
"Human youth, I'm convinced. You're not like other humans—you're a true supreme of your race. I never thought humanity could produce such a figure. I look forward to your future. Oh, and if you need help, just say the word. I'll lend a hand!"
The Kui Niu's voice rumbled. Its thick hide and the Void God Realm's death-without-true-death rule let it die and revive repeatedly, clashing with Shi Yi for over two weeks.
Thankfully, its real-world strength was formidable, and this was only the Second Domain. Otherwise, such frequent depletion of essence, spirit, and vitality would've left it half-crippled, if not dead.
Indeed, dying in the Void God Realm inflicted severe real-world consequences—damaged vitality, essence, and spirit, requiring months of recovery. Such spiritual death could cause mental instability or, worse, strip away one's spiritual essence, hindering future cultivation.
Endlessly dying and reviving, cycling through the Void God Realm like some undying calamity, wasn't sustainable.
But people differed, as did beasts.
Shi Yi's ten Heavenly Passages were leagues beyond those of other cultivators. The Kui Niu's racial gifts, likewise, surpassed those of other pureblood beasts.
"No need. Some grudges, I must settle myself."
Shi Yi closed his eyes slowly, and the countless Double Pupils hovering in the sky vanished.
Seeing the Heavy Pupils disappear, the creatures—already terrified by Shi Yi's slaughter—scattered in a frenzy.
