"That won't happen. The veins were reborn within the Ghost Gu, so even though they have insect bodies, insects still have cores. If the core is damaged, their lives will be endangered all the same. Thus, only the Dao lineage of the Heaven of Proving the Dao is immortal. If they die here, they really will have to return." I smiled.
"Whether we live or die no longer matters to us. Feeling is what matters most. If we touch ourselves and our skin has no sensation at all, what would be the point? Since we've been reborn as Ghost Gu, we should still be able to feel, shouldn't we?" Hu Qiushi giggled, reaching out to poke Qing Baijun in the armpit. Qing Baijun had not been conscious of that possibility at first, but after being poked, he immediately laughed sheepishly. "Please, Fairy, show some self-respect. I would never dare covet you."
Hu Qiushi smiled brightly. It was perfectly normal for the female immortals to have such thoughts. Even I could not stand the sensationless state of the Dao Tribulation. Cruelty was relative—if one could not feel pain oneself, how could one know the pain of others? So having sensations was a good thing.
After more than a decade of extracting the power of the earth's veins, the four immortals had already reached the level of strength of the Proving-the-Dao Transformation Realm. The power the mother insect gained from devouring the Dao Tribulation had not only been absorbed by itself; quite a bit of energy had also been fed back to them. Thus, after being devoured by the mother insect and transformed into Ghost Gu, they were now roughly between the Initial Realm and the Transformation Realm. As long as they had enough energy, entering the Transformation Realm would be easy.
