Chapter 538: 538: How Sure Are You?_1

As soon as she had sensed Qin Changqing, the consciousness of the witch’s clone once again entered the dream.

“Ningxue, your true self is close to achieving the fifth turn, isn’t it? Once she completes the fifth turn, you’ll be in danger, and your best chance will evaporate.”

Qin Changqing looked at the witch’s clone and said.

He didn’t care whether or not the witch’s clone accepted the name he gave her, he directly called her “Ningxue”.

“Are you planning to use me against my true self?”

The witch’s clone finally spoke.

“Correct, I do want to exploit you, but this is also your opportunity. Your true self will not tolerate this variable that is you. As soon as she senses an anomaly, she will eliminate the potential threats.”

“So, striking while she’s going through the Calamity of the Loose Immortal would be your best chance. If you think your odds are slim, I can help you. Find her other clones and plant the dream seed for me. Leave the rest to me, how does that sound?”

Qin Changqing spoke quite a lot in one breath.

Once he had finished speaking, he stood there, waiting patiently.

The witch’s clone remained silent for quite a while.

Nearly a half-hour later, she raised her head and looked at Qin Changqing: “What do I need to do?”

At those words, a smile spread across Qin Changqing’s face.

“It’s very simple, just like this...”

“Ningxue, well done.”

A month later, within the dream, Qin Changqing’s voice rang out.

“Your time is running out, your true self is about to finish the fifth turn.”

The witch’s clone responded.

She neither accepted nor dismissed the name given by Qin Changqing.

“No, Ningxue, to be precise, your time is running out. Even if she completes the fifth turn and fails to defeat me, there’s plenty of space in the cultivation realm for my family and me to hide. After a hundred years, she won’t be able to touch me.”

Qin Changqing spoke lightly.

The witch’s clone fell silent.

That’s because Qin Changqing was right.

After her self- consciousness awoke, she had already consumed the will of her true self.

As soon as her true self, the witch named Fengxian, completes the fifth turn, the main will could easily detect her anomalies.

As one of Fengxian’s clones, she knew all too well how powerful and daunting her true self was.

No cultivator who practices clone techniques would tolerate their clone developing its own consciousness.

When such a situation occurs, the cultivator would choose to eliminate the potential threat, even going so far as to destroy the clone.

After developing a self-consciousness, she naturally did not want to be eliminated.

Once the Spirit Realm Passage is closed, I can pay them another visit.

Soon, ten years had passed.

“It’s ready!”

Ten years later, in another witch’s clone’s dream, Qin Changqing appeared.

“You’re causing this chaos!”

The gaze of this witch’s clone grew frosty.

Her response was identical to Ningxue’s.

“Yes, it’s me. You should thank me. Otherwise, you would have been subservient to her your whole life.”

Qin Changqing broke into a smile.

Unsurprisingly, this witch’s clone was also successfully swayed by him.

This time, it only took a little over a decade.

Of course, if Fengxian wasn’t at such a critical juncture and didn’t have the capacity to pay attention to her clones, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Qin Changqing.

These cultivators who have practiced cloning, their main will would frequently scan their clones to prevent them from losing control.

Given Fengxian’s power, if it weren’t for Qin Changqing, her clones wouldn’t have developed a self-consciousness so easily.

Regrettably, Qin Changqing, by utilizing the Great Dream Recording Skill, had taken advantage of this precious window of opportunity and successfully manipulated the clones.

As long as the clone developed a self-consciousness, everything else would be easy.

This further confirmed Qin Changqing’s resolve to never practice cloning in the future, despite its many conveniences.

Creating a copy of oneself, even if it shares the same thoughts, isn’t the same individual in Qin Changqing’s view.

So, a few months later, Qin Changqing appeared in the Spirit Realm.

“Young friend, the location of that witch is a mystery to everyone. How confident are you?”

Within the Spirit Realm Passage, many Loose Immortals were surprised when they heard Qin Changqing was confident he could locate the powerful witch.

Qin Changqing did not spell out his plans in detail.

“Seventy to eighty percent sure. Elder He, just you coming with me will suffice. The other friends can continue to hold the fort.”

Qin Changqing said.

Though he had swayed two clones, Qin Changqing still had his guard up.

What if that witch was cunning, pretending to be manipulated by Qin Changqing?

Although this possibility was extremely slim.

But Qin Changqing has always been inclined towards stability. He avoids taking excessive risks unless there’s no other choice.

He could take his time to reach the pinnacle, so why gamble with his life?

Even if he fails to neutralize the threat posed by Fengxian, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s done for.
