Chapter 583 – Soul Formation (1)
Although Miaomiao couldn't fulfill Ma Xingjuan's request at the moment, that didn't mean he wouldn't attempt to impregnate her. He asked the girl to wait until his real body and soul were in the best shape.
Day 140
Miaomiao got out of the purgatory river. His soul injuries were completely healed, and his marrow bone was cleansed.
He loved this unique waterfall. Without hesitation, he stored more of this water into his system inventory and dantian space, hoping to use them as a replacement for Siren City's elixir. After all, the unified element spring water could only heal physical injuries and restore a bit of Qi and Essence.
Miaomiao rechecked his status menu, wondering if his current power was enough to be Lu Fengxian's father.

Miaomiao was somewhat disappointed at his achievement. He spent thousands of years in dantian space, but he was still a mortal.
Still, he managed to complete the first 9 dao sentinels. He was ready to advance to the next stage, the Soul Formation.
Unfortunately, Xie Tian was not here. Without him, he couldn't form the nine-totem formation to awaken his soul dantian.
Miaomiao needed to get a replacement.'Annoying. Very annoying.'
Miaomiao scratched his head. He put the breakthrough matter to the back of his head so that his migraine wouldn't kill him. For now, he needed to solve his family issue.
He needed Lu Fengxian to be properly reincarnated. Ma Xingjuan needed to get pregnant.
Miaomiao flew toward a patch of grassland a hundred meters away from the waterfall. Then, he summoned Ma Xingjuan to the outside world.
Ma Xingjuan came out of the portal with her real body.
Miaomiao looked at her, "We can't have a baby if you stay in my dantian world all the time. I'm planning to keep you outside until you get pregnant."
Ma Xingjuan blushed, "So, we're doing it outside? Isn't this place being watched by elders and… many dangerous cultivators?"
She was concerned about the city, aka the Cherry Boy City, which was plagued with craving virgins. It was a miracle that Xie Fan managed to sneak into the city without getting caught by the local men.
Had Ma Xingjuan been discovered, many friendly cultivators would have attacked Miaomiao and Ma Xingjuan because of their pending desire.
But Miaomiao was not worried. He knew so many techniques that could instantly kill immortals.
"You'll be fine. Believe in your Spear Dao and the War God Dao. You might not realize this, but you're stronger than average immortals."
"Umm," Ma Xingjuan believed in Miaomiao.
The husband and wife made love in the wilderness. Unlike the usual, both of them did it so that Ma Xingjuan could get pregnant as she wished.
Therefore, no weird sex positions, they did it the orthodox way.
Strangely, the thought of getting pregnant turned Ma Xingjuan on. She came more often than when she did it with Miaomiao in the dantian space.
…
At night, Ma Xingjuan changed her clothes. She covered her face in bandages and put a black hooded cloak on top of the thick and loose ugly robes.
She disguised herself as a beggar.
Miaomiao wanted to laugh at Ma Xingjuan, but he didn't want to be rude. He simply patted her head to encourage her.
"You'll be fine."
"I know. You'll protect me, right?"
"Obviously, you're my woman. No one can touch you."
"If you say so…"
Miaomiao brought Ma Xingjuan to visit the baby centipedes first.
The centipedes let out loud noises in joy when they saw their father. Many big and small creatures surrounded him.
One of them caught a whiff of Miaomiao's scent inside Ma Xingjuan's body. It immediately crawled toward her.
"M-Miaomiao," Ma Xingjuan was taken aback.
"He's just trying to say hello."
"A-Are you sure? Aren't all they karma centipedes? Won't they jump into my body?"
"They won't."
Ma Xingjuan mustered her courage and reached out to touch the approaching centipede. The latter leaned closer to her and lightly bonk its head against her hand like a cat.
She giggled. Now that she got a closer look, its behavior was similar to cats.
"They're indeed your children. The MAO (Cat) bloodline runs in them."
"Yeah, cats shall rule the universe," Miaomiao rolled his eyes.
"Hahahahaha!"
Ma Xingjuan relaxed and played with the centipedes. She guessed that Liu Guang might have felt the same when she was with her insects.
At midnight, they flew to Cherry Boy City. Miaomiao and Ma Xingjuan reached the stable unharmed.
Surprisingly, the customers had been patiently waiting for Miaomiao. The queue was still there.
Cultivators were strange creatures. They had no sense of time or boredom as they got used to staying at the same place for days without doing anything but meditating.
When they spotted Miaomiao, everyone cheered.
"Boss, have you recovered?"
"Are you alright, boss? Did that incident trouble you?"
These men were nice as they cared about Miaomiao's health. But deep down, they only cared about the centipedes.
"I'm fine. Thanks for your patience, fellow Daoists. I shall reopen my shop in a few minutes."
Miaomiao guided Ma Xingjuan to rest inside the stable first.
When Miaomiao and Ma Xingjuan entered the stable, they found Xie Fan and Xie Lian resting in one of the stable rooms.
Xie Lian glanced at Miaomiao and simply waved his hand, shooing him away.
Miaomiao clicked his tongue. This place was his resident, but Xie Lian treated it as if it was his home.
Ma Xingjuan nervously glanced at Xie Lian as she detected the strong providence aura of a deity. The latter also noticed her presence, but he ignored it.
Xie Fan's pupils expanded when she saw Miaomiao. When their eyes met, she blushed and looked away.
Miaomiao ignored her since he was not in the mood to mess with another woman. He guided Ma Xingjuan to another room.
Ma Xingjuan settled down. She inspected her new home and planned to renovate it later.
Miaomiao left her be. He returned to his post and reopened his shop.
As Miaomiao was in a hurry, he removed the restriction of 1,000 centipedes per person. Anyone could buy as many centipedes as they wanted.
Miaomiao's new rules caused a commotion. The cultivators at the front queue celebrated while the guys at the back complained.
The remaining centipedes were sold out that night. Only the baby centipedes in the sewer remained.
…
Day 141
It had been almost five months since Miaomiao started living on this planet.
The preparation to advance to the 9th-stage was almost ready. However, Xie Tian wasn't here. Miaomiao needed 9 dao sentinels to be present before he could attack the next stage.
Without a choice, Miaomiao decided to make another person a Dao Sentinel. He checked the remaining candidates.
Queen Gu, Eurobeat, and Nya-Nya were the best candidates since their strength and Dao were unique. He gathered them right away.
Isolated Training Space
The two women and one catopus stood in front of Miaomiao. He inspected them and contemplated what element continent he should use.
When the trio heard that Miaomiao needed another Dao Sentinel, Eurobeat raised her hand right away.
"Pick me. Make me your wife!"
Miaomiao's face darkened, "Being a Dao Sentinel doesn't mean you have to become my wife. Xie Tian is a Dao Sentinel, too, but he isn't my wife.""I thought Xie Tian was your favorite wife. You two always dated whenever you had free time." Eurobeat innocently tilted her head.
Hearing Eurobeat's remarks, Xu Chu and the other wives burst into laughter to the point that they cried laughing.
Miaomiao facepalmed. Because of embarrassment and humiliation, he chose not to make Eurobeat a Dao Sentinel for the time being.
The current best candidate was Queen Gu since she had a high affinity with most of his available continents.
'What should be her foundation?'
Miaomiao hesitated if he should use the purgatory water continent or the unholy darkness continent. He could also recultivate poison element continent for her, but it might take a few days to complete.
While Miaomiao was contemplating what to do, Nya-Nya nervously volunteered, "C-Can I be your Dao Sentinel, Munya?"
"You?" Miaomiao was surprised.
"M-My Dao is the Dao of Saintess, Munya! I have the power to heal, bless, and strengthen others, Munya!"
"The same power as Gold Element?"
"No, Munya! Gold Element can only strengthen physical power, but I can buff pretty much everything, Munya!"
"Buff?" Miaomiao was surprised that Nya-Nya knew the terms.
"Yes, Munya. My Dao can do healing, mass healing, cure, regeneration, attack enhancement, spirit enhancement, defense, shields, barriers, haste… what else… oh right, Munya! I can purify negative karma and remove curses, Munya!"
"Hoh?"
A saint was like an upgraded priest class in RPG games. If she could fulfill the role as a priestess, her Dao might be more beneficial than the Dao of Sound and the Dao of Poison.
But there was one thing that Miaomiao was curious about.
"Can you resurrect dead people?"
Saints, priests, and healers in RPG games tended to have this skill as healing, buffing, and supporting were their specialties. A resurrection skill was a must.
Nya-Nya sulked, "No, Munya. Only cathulhu saints can, Munya."
"Does that mean you will be able to do it if you become a deity?"
"Yes, Munya!"
Miaomiao pulled the cat into a hug. He kissed her cheek, "I'M SOLD! YOU WILL BE MY NEXT DAO SENTINEL! I LOVE YOU, NYA-NYA!"
"MUNYAAAAA!!" Nya-Nya panicked. Her body and tentacles turned red.
"Don't molest our cute Nya-Nya!"
BONK
Xu Chu swung a baseball bat and hit Miaomiao's face. He was sent flying to the sky.
Homerun
The wives laughed and cheered. Chang'e mimicked the homerun SFX and launched a series of fireworks for a meme.
Eurobeat blankly stared at Nya-Nya. She muttered to herself.
"So, even a cat can be Master Mao's wife? A cat is fine, too?"
…
Day 145
Nya-Nya emerged as Miaomiao's 10th totem nascent soul. Her totems stood tall on the Holy Flame of Life Continent.
With nine dao sentinels, Miaomiao was ready to break through to the Soul Formation Realm.
…
The same day, Aves Continent
Meng Xin sat in front of Susano's seal, meditating.
Behind Meng Xin, Wang Yun stood there, pointing a pistol at Meng Xin's head.
"Stop what you're doing. Don't unseal that thing."
Meng Xin slowly opened his eyes. His immortal aura shook the plane, "That's none of your business."
"Lord Mu-Nyang have entrusted me to maintain the seal. Of course, it's my duty to protect it. You're trespassing on Lord Mu-Nyang's territory."
Meng Xin grinned, "I'm surprised that you're working for that cat god. Since when?"
"From the beginning of my transmigration."
"Hahaha! You've hidden it well. You even fooled me. What will happen if Mao Miaomiao learns of this?"
"He won't mind. Mu-Nyang and Mao Miaomiao are allies."
"…"
"I'm also surprised that you're about to harm your potential allies. Stop what you're doing, and we can still be friends."
"What if I don't?"
"You die."
"Hahaha! How bold. What if you die instead?"
"Mu-Nyang has planted a life brand on me. He will know, and his army will come for you. Do you want Cathulhus to be your enemies? I'm sure that you have your own fair share of trouble dealing with Lilim's goons."
"…"
Killing intent from both men shook the entire continent.
Suddenly, Meng Xin raised both his hands. He stopped cultivating.
"Fine. I'll stop."
"Good," Wang Yun slowly walked backward to keep a distance from Meng Xin.
The latter also stood up and walked away from the seal. Meng Xin sighed, "Who are you working for exactly, Mike? I doubt you're doing everything for Mao Miaomiao."
"I'm a KNIGHT of Virtuous Sage. What's yours?"
"Virtuous Sage? I see. That explains everything. Mu-Nyang is the KING PIECE of Virtuous Sage, I assume," Meng Xin ceased his killing intent. He turned around and smiled, "Then, we're allies. I've just been appointed as BISHOP of All-Heaven Sage. All chess pieces of Jade Sage, All-Heaven Sage, Virtuous Sage, and Lord Hongjun are on the same side."
Wang Yun put the gun down. He snorted, "And what is Sir BISHOP doing here? Aren't Bishops usually deities? Why did he pick an immortal like you?"
"You shouldn't treat me as an ordinary immortal."
RUMBLE
Suddenly, the presence of Meng Xin got larger. Massive blue scissors appeared and landed in front of Wang Yun.
It was a myth-grade artifact! Only a certain deity could use it!
Wang Yun could also see strange colorful strings around Meng Xin. His legs shook as they were losing strength.
He felt like he could die at any moment!
Meng Xin declared, "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Samsara God, Meng Xin!"
A green parrot also descended and landed on top of Meng Xin's head. She introduced herself, "And I am Lady Third, the ROOK of All-Heaven Sage! Know your place, KNIGHT!"
Wang Yun's face darkened. He could sense the terrifying aura of this strange bird.
It looked weak, but it was definitely a deity!
